Airstrikes kill more than 2 dozen people near Yemen's capital, Houthis say

Airstrikes hit homes in a village near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, killing at least 27 people and wounding 36 others, mostly women and children, a spokesman for Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry said. Speaking to The Associated Press, Anees al-Asbahi said the death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue efforts continue and accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the strikes on al-Shariya. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, claimed in a statement later Saturday that the group had carried out attacks against Saudi Arabia in response to the strikes on the village as well as another deadly attack Friday on a market in southwestern Yemen. The AP could not independently verify the Houthis' claims, and Saudi Arabia's Information Ministry did not immediately reply to AP requests for comment.

Why are Indian films and web series reluctant to portray parents and grandparents as people with romantic lives, desires and relationships of their own? While shows such as the US series Newlyweds explore love and intimacy among senior citizens, Indian popular entertainment often confines older characters to parental, advisory or babysitting roles. The piece examines ageism in the film industry, the limited opportunities for older female actors and the social attitudes that shape how India views romance after 60.

Manipur CM appeals for dialogue, urges people to shun agitations and blockades

Digital Desk | Imphal, Nov 7 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Saturday appealed to students and the general public to refrain from resorting to agitations and blockades whenever crises or differences arise, urging them instead to pursue dialogue to resolve issues. Inaugurating the state's first AI-enabled Career Intelligence Hub at Tamphasana Girls Higher Secondary School in Imphal, the Chief Minister called upon students and people from all sections of society to adopt dialogue and peaceful engagement as the preferred means of addressing grievances and resolving differences. Khemchand Singh emphasised that constructive dialogue, rather than agitation and confrontation, was essential to resolving disputes and ensuring lasting peace in the state. The AI-Enabled Career Intelligence Hub is an initiative aimed at providing students with technology-driven career guidance, personalised counselling and information on emerging career opportunities. The Hub, established under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), is the first of its kind in the Northeastern region, marking a significant step towards integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the education and career guidance ecosystem of the state. The Chief Minister appreciated the students of Tamphasana Girls Higher Secondary School for not resorting to agitation during the challenging period the state has been going through over the past seven to eight months. Khemchand Singh commended their maturity and restraint, stating that students should remain focused on their education and future rather than becoming involved in agitation during times of crisis. Highlighting the growing importance of AI, the Chief Minister observed that AI has advanced significantly and is increasingly transforming various fields and professions. He expressed satisfaction over the establishment of the AI-Enabled Career Intelligence Hub in Manipur, noting that such an initiative would help students gain better insights into their abilities, explore different career pathways and prepare themselves for future opportunities. Khemchand Singh also expressed gratitude to Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), the Education Department and the faculty members of Tamphasana Girls Higher Secondary School for their contributions towards making the initiative possible. Emphasising the importance of the formative years in shaping ones future, the Chief Minister stated that student life is one of the most crucial periods for building a career, with Classes XI and XII being particularly significant in determining future academic and professional directions. While acknowledging that everyone may not necessarily achieve everything they aspire to in life, he stressed that humanity and honesty must remain the two essential qualities guiding every individual. He further observed that these values are equally important in the collective effort to restore peace and harmony in Manipur. The Chief Minister also formally opened the State-Level 32nd National Childrens Science Congress (NCSC) 202627, organised by Manipur Upliftment Centre in collaboration with Samagra Shiksha, Manipur, under the focal theme, Understanding Ecosystem for Health and Well-being. Khemchand Singh inspected the exhibits and interacted with students participating in the State-Level 32ndNational Childrens Science Congress. He took keen interest in their science projects and encouraged the young participants to continue nurturing their scientific curiosity, creativity and spirit of innovation. A total of 39 student group leaders from various schools across 12 districts of the state have been shortlisted to participate in the State-Level 32nd National Childrens Science Congress 202627. The programme was attended by Rajya Sabha member Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi, senior officials and other dignitaries, teachers and students.

Bukhari asks party to stand by people amid uncertainty

Srinagar, Nov 05: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Thursday called upon party leaders and workers to stand firmly with the people amid growing political uncertainty, insecurity and economic challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, urging them to provide hope and raise public concerns. Addressing a provincial-level meeting of the party at its headquarters in Srinagar, Bukhari said the party had an important responsibility to guide people at a time when, according to him, traditional political parties, particularly the ruling dispensation, had failed to address public concerns. He said Jammu and Kashmir was passing through a period of political uncertainty, with a growing sense of anxiety among people over their future. At this critical juncture, Apni Party must rise to the occasion and fulfil its responsibility towards the people. We must stand by them, provide hope and direction, and work to restore their confidence in a better future, he said. Bukhari recalled the party's role in the aftermath of August 5, 2019, saying it had chosen to engage with the Government of India to safeguard the rights and interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the party would once again take the initiative to urge the Centre to initiate meaningful dialogue with the people of J&K to bridge the prevailing trust deficit and address their genuine concerns. We will engage with the Government of India and impress upon it the importance of restoring hope among the J&K people, safeguarding their rights, and guiding Jammu and Kashmir towards a path of sustained peace, prosperity and development, he said. Highlighting the challenges confronting the youth, Bukhari said rising unemployment and limited economic opportunities remained among the major concerns requiring urgent attention. He also called for efforts to ensure that people lodged in jails get a fair opportunity to return to their families and rebuild their lives. He further said young people should not be denied passports, arguing that such restrictions limit their access to employment, education and livelihood opportunities outside Jammu and Kashmir. On grassroots democracy, Bukhari accused the ruling National Conference of denying people their right to elect representatives at the local level and demanded that Panchayat and Urban Local Bodies elections be held without further delay. He also held both the NC and BJP responsible for the delay in holding these elections, alleging that people had been deprived of their democratic and constitutional right to elect local representatives.
