India: Set new finance goal on climate justice
With COP29 negotiations reaching a critical stage, India on Tuesday demanded clear answers from developed countries on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) for climate finance. Delivering the national statement, Kirti Vardhan Singh, Minister of State in the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, said all NCQG decisions for climate finance must reflect the principles of climate justice and equity. He called for ambitious and unambiguous outcomes that address the evolving needs of developing countries, including adaptation, mitigation, and loss-and-damage funding. Singh reminded developed nations of their responsibility under the Paris Agreement to provide sufficient financial resources to enable the Global South to meet its development goals while addressing climate challenges. The next round of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) is due in 2025. Take onus for historical emissions, provide support, rich nations told Kirti Vardhan Singh asked countries to lead by advancing their net-zero targets and ensuring enough carbon space for the development needs of nations like India. Referring to Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC), Singh urged developed nations to take responsibility for their historical emissions and provide the necessary financial and technological support to developing countries. He reminded the global community that the high-emission development pathways of the Global North have left limited carbon space for the Global South, which now faces the dual challenge of addressing climate impacts and pursuing sustainable development. Despite this, Singh noted that developing nations, including India, are taking significant climate actions, often at the cost of their development priorities. Indias achievements in climate action were highlighted as an example of ambition and commitment. Singh pointed to the countrys early achievement of its 2015 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets on emission intensity reduction and non-fossil-based electricity generation. Indias renewable energy capacity has nearly tripled since 2014, and the country is on track to meet its 500 GW target by 2030, he said.However, Singh said that raising global climate ambition must be accompanied by a significant scaling up of climate finance and free access to green technologies.

Department of Justice will reportedly push for Google to sell Chrome
Google released Chrome in 2008 and it became synonymous with the company and its search engine. Well, that might no longer be the case if if the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has its way. The DOJ's antitrust officials reportedly plan to request a federal judge orders Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the plan. In August, federal judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google is a monopolist in the search engine industry. Mehta further agreed Google used its monopoly power by charging supracompetitive prices for general search text ads. The company takes signed-in users' data to create targeted advertising, however, Mehta ruled Google doesn't hold the same monopoly power when it comes to the general search advertising market. In response to the ruling, antitrust officers also reportedly plan to suggest Google changes its data licensing policies. A new proposal would have Google syndicate search results separately and sell its click and query data. These moves could aid rival search engines and AI startups. The officers reportedly considered asking Mehta to force Google to sell of Android but have moved away from that request. The DOJ submitted initial proposals in October to remedy Google's actions. Lee-Anne Mulholland, Googles vice president of regulatory affairs, stated, that the government putting its thumb on the scale in these ways would harm consumers, developers and American technological leadership at precisely the moment it is most needed. Mehta's August ruling stems from a 2020 lawsuit filed by the DOJ and about one-fifth of the states, including Florida, Indiana and Texas. It argued that Google spent billions of dollars annually to device manufacturers, US wireless carriers and browser developers to secure default status for its general search engine and, in many cases, to specifically prohibit Googles counterparties from dealing with Googles competitors. According to testimony from Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's chief technologist, the company spent $26.3 billion in 2021 to maintain its default search engine status a majority of which likely went to Apple. A two-week hearing is set for April 2025 on changes for Google to implement, with a final ruling expected by August next year.

US Justice Department Will Push Google to Sell Chrome to Break Search Monopoly
Top Justice Department antitrust officials have decided to ask a judge to force Alphabet Inc.s Google to sell off its Chrome browser in what would be a historic crackdown on one of the worlds biggest tech companies. The department will ask the judge, who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market, to require measures related to artificial intelligence and its Android smartphone operating system, according to people familiar with the plans. Antitrust officials, along with states that have joined the case, also plan to recommend Wednesday that federal judge Amit Mehta impose data licensing requirements, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing a confidential matter. If Mehta accepts the proposals, they have the potential to reshape the online search market and the burgeoning AI industry. The case was filed under the first Trump administration and continued under President Joe Biden. It marks the most aggressive effort to rein in a technology company since Washington unsuccessfully sought to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. Owning the worlds most popular web browser is key for Googles ads business. The company is able to see activity from signed-in users, and use that data to more effectively target promotions, which generate the bulk of its revenue. Google has also been using Chrome to direct users to its flagship AI product, Gemini, which has the potential to evolve from an answer-bot to an assistant that follows users around the web. Lee-Anne Mulholland, Googles vice president of regulatory affairs, said the Justice Department continues to push a radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case. She added, the government putting its thumb on the scale in these ways would harm consumers, developers and American technological leadership at precisely the moment it is most needed. The Justice Department declined to comment. Google shares fell as much as 1.8% to $172.16 in late trading. They had been up 25% this year through the close. Chrome Access Antitrust enforcers want the judge to order Google to sell off Chrome the most widely used browser worldwide because it represents a key access point through which many people use its search engine, the people said. The government has the option to decide whether a Chrome sale is necessary at a later date if some of the other aspects of the remedy create a more competitive market, the people added. The Chrome browser controls about 61% of the market in the US, according to StatCounter, a web traffic analytics service. Government attorneys met with dozens of companies over the past three months as they prepared the recommendation. States are still considering adding some proposals and some details could change, the people said. The antitrust officials pulled back from a more severe option that would have forced Google to sell off Android, the people said. Alphabets Google Bracing for Antitrust Rigmarole: Legal Outlook Google Appeal Mehtas August ruling that Google broke antitrust laws in both online search and search text ads markets followed a 10-week trial last year. The company has said it plans to appeal. The judge has set a two-week hearing in April on what changes Google must make to remedy the illegal behavior and plans to issue a final ruling by August 2025. The agency and the states have settled on recommending that Google be required to license the results and data from its popular search engine and give websites more options to prevent their content from being used by Googles artificial intelligence products, said the people. The antitrust enforcers are set to propose that Google uncouple its Android smartphone operating system from its other products, including search and its Google Play mobile app store, which are now sold as a bundle, the people said. They are also prepared to seek a requirement that Google share more information with advertisers and give them more control over where their ads appear. Lawyers from the Justice Department and state attorneys general included all of those options in an initial filing in October, as well as a ban on the type of exclusive contracts that were at the center of the case against Google. A forced spin-off, if it happens, would also hinge on finding an interested buyer. Those who could afford and might want the property, like Amazon.com Inc., are also facing antitrust scrutiny that may prevent such a mega-deal. My view is this is extremely unlikely, Mandeep Singh, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, said in an email. But, he added, he could see a buyer like OpenAI, the maker of artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT. That would give it both distribution and an ads business to complement its consumer chatbot subscriptions. AI Overviews Google now displays artificial intelligence-based answers at the top of its search pages billed as AI Overviews. While websites can opt-out of having their information used by Google to create AI models, they cant afford to opt out of the overviews because that would risk pushing them down in search results, making it harder to reach their customers. Website publishers have complained that the feature dampens traffic and advertising dollars since users rarely click through to see the data being used to power those results. Regarding data licensing, the antitrust enforcers plan to propose two options: That Google sell the underlying click and query data and also separately syndicate its search results, according to the people. The company currently sells syndicated search results, but with restrictions, such as preventing their use on mobile. Forcing Google to syndicate its search results would allow rival search engines and AI startups to quickly improve their quality, while the data feed would allow others to build their own search index.
Andhra Council erupts in debate over rising crimes against women
VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council witnessed a heated exchange on Monday between the treasury benches and opposition YSRC MLCs during a discussion on the law and order situation in the State. Responding to questions raised by YSRC MLCs Varudhu Kalyani, Kalpalatha Reddy, and Yesu Ratnam about the increase in crimes against women over the past six months under the TDP-led NDA government, Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha launched a scathing criticism of the opposition. She accused the previous YSRC regime of failing to ensure womens safety, claiming that crimes against women were significantly higher during their tenure. Anitha asserted that the preventive measures introduced by the current government have already resulted in a decline in such incidents. Former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy utterly failed to safeguard women during his five years in power. Between 2019 and 2024, crimes against women increased by 29% compared to the TDPs tenure from 2014 to 2019, she said. Citing data, Anitha stated that 83,202 cases of crimes against women were registered between 2014 and 2019 under the TDP government, while the number rose to 1,00,508 during the YSRC regime. She added that the NDA government, upon returning to power, prioritised womens safety by strengthening She Teams, Bluecolt patrols, and women safety squads. The minister also criticised the YSRCs implementation of the Disha Act, alleging inefficiency in ensuring justice for women. Despite inaugurating Disha police stations, the YSRC failed to arrest and punish offenders swiftly. Even the Fourth Lion app, introduced during the TDP regime, was rebranded as Disha and falsely claimed as their own initiative, she remarked. Anitha further demanded answers from the YSRC leaders about unaddressed incidents of rape during their rule and lambasted Jagan Mohan Reddys leadership. She concluded by reiterating the NDA governments commitment to ensuring safety and justice for all, including the injustices faced by Jagans mother, Vijayamma, and his sister, YS Sharmila. The discussion ended in chaos as YSRC members staged a walkout, accusing Minister Anitha of politicising the issue.

Crime Rate Drops in State: AP Home Minister
Vijayawada : Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha has claimed that the crime rate in Andhra Pradesh has come down during the past five months of the alliance government. The minister was replying to questions in the Legislative Council on Monday from members Varudu Kalyani, Mondikota Aruna Kumar and Chandragiri Yesuratnam. Vanitha came up with a comparison of the present and previous years figures. The number of cases booked in the first TD term 2014-19 was 83,202. Under the YSR Congress term, 1,00,508 cases were booked between 2019-24, showing a 20.8 per cent rise in the number of cases. In 2023-22, some 418 cases were booked while in 2024, 650 cases were booked. The crime rate has come down in the state after the TD-led government took charge in June last, she claimed.
