Brazil’s Supreme Court upholds ban on Elon Musk’s X unanimously

 

Brazil’s Highest Court supports prohibition on Elon Musk’s X without dissent 

The ban on Elon Musk's social media platform, X, was unanimously confirmed by Brazil's Supreme Court after it was initially put in place by Justice Alexandre de Moraes a week ago. The prohibition was put into effect following X's failure to meet a court-ordered deadline to appoint a legal representative in Brazil by the specified date of September 3rd. 

Monday saw all five justices of the Supreme Court examine and affirm the prohibition. Justice Flavio Dino and Justice Cristiano Zanin underscored the importance of businesses following the laws of the land they operate in, stating that not abiding by court rulings weakens the legal system. Justices Carmen Lucia and Luiz Fux also backed the judgment, resulting in a unanimous verdict. 

The suspension has additionally moved forward to create a confrontation between de Moraes and Musk's satellite internet supplier Starlink, which is declining to implement the judge's ruling. 

"He broke the Brazilian constitution multiple times and in a shocking manner, despite taking an oath to defend it," Musk stated before the vote, hurling a slew of insults and allegations following the panel's decision. On Sunday, Musk revealed the development of an X account designed to release the sealed rulings of the justice system, which he claimed would demonstrate their defiance of Brazilian regulations. 

The highest court has instructed telecommunication companies to restrict entry to X, and the prohibition will persist until the website fulfills the court’s requests and pays penalties surpassing USD 3 million. Moraes's initial decision censured Musk, branding him as a "lawbreaker" who spreads false information and weakens democratic systems.

Another escalation in Manipur

 

Thangjam Basant, aged 34, was forced to leave his village of Koutruk in the Imphal West district of Manipur, which is adjacent to the Kangpokpi district dominated by the Kuki tribes, for the second time. 

I was taking care of my younger sibling, who was wounded by bomb fragments. "When I got back, everything was completely destroyed," Mr Basant sobbed, belonging to the Meitei community which primarily resides in the valley, as he shared with NDTV. 

In a recent outbreak of violence yesterday at the border between two districts, two individuals lost their lives and 10 others, including a minor, law enforcement officers, and a journalist, were wounded in gunfire and explosives attacks carried out by drones believed to be operated by Kuki rebels. The assault on Koutruk occurred following a period of peace that lasted for a few months. 

Many individuals who had evacuated their residences during the ethnic conflicts in May 2023 and had recently come back, found themselves having to flee once again on Monday. This has sparked concerns regarding the safety of towns situated in the lower regions. 

A woman who was at her mother's residence lost her life on Sunday. Her daughter, who is twelve years old, was struck in the hand. 

I visited my home in the AM and discovered the rug they had utilized. It was covered in blood spots and clumps of her hair. "My sister-in-law came to see us after a while," Thokchom Anu mentioned, revealing that Ngangbam Surbala, 31, who was shot in the head by alleged Kuki rebels, shared this information on Monday.

Telangana downpour: 16 people killed in intense rainfall; Chief Minister requests 'national disaster' designation 

16 individuals lost their lives in Telangana as a result of rain-related incidents, prompting Chief Minister Reddy to call upon the Central government to designate the floods as a national disaster. 

At Least 16 individuals have lost their lives as a result of intense rainfall in Telangana. The Telangana government declared a sum of ₹5 lakh as an ex-gratia payment for the families of the deceased in the rain, and requested urgent aid from the Centre. 

The Telangana government, under the leadership of Revanth Reddy, estimated the destruction to be worth ₹5,000 crore and requested urgent financial aid of ₹2,000 crore from the Central government. Reddy also pressed for the declaration by the Centre of the Telangana floods as a national catastrophe. 

The constant rain led to flooding in areas with low elevation, destruction of crops, and interruption of transportation between the state and Andhra Pradesh. 

Intense precipitation in Telangana resulted in inundation in low-lying regions and considerable destruction to property and buildings. Preliminary approximations suggest that the floods caused about ₹5,000 crore in damages in the state. 

Reddy implored Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tour the areas affected by the rain and officially categorize the floods as a national disaster. The main minister inspected areas affected by rain to evaluate the condition and held discussions with senior officials concerning the matter. 

The regions in Khammam that were affected by the flood experienced widespread destruction with household belongings being swept away, while certain items were left clinging to the entrance gates of homes. 

Transportation suffered a significant blow because of the continuous rainfall, with the stones on the railway tracks on various routes being swept away during the floods. Trains experienced delays and the repairs are currently in progress. 

Numerous trucks were stuck on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway close to Kodada because of flooding on the road. The authorities recommended that individuals heading to Vijayawada should consider taking the Narkatpalli-Addanki road as a substitute route.

PM Modi's Historic Visit To Brunei

 

PM Modi's groundbreaking trip to Brunei aims to enhance collaboration in the fields of space and defense. 

PM Modi's trip to Brunei happens approximately a decade after he initially encountered the Sultan of Hassanal Bolkiah in November 2014 during the 25th ASEAN Summit in Myanmar. They encountered once more at the 2017 East Asia Summit that took place in the Philippines. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to become the inaugural Indian Prime Minister to make an official trip to Brunei on September 3 and 4 for talks with Bruneian leaders. This is being viewed as a pivotal move in strengthening relations between the two countries. 

PM Modi is set to travel to Brunei on September 3-4 as per an invitation from His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

Prime Minister Modi's trip aligns with the 40th anniversary of the initiation of diplomatic relations between India and Brunei. 

PM Modi was originally set to participate in the sixth meeting of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) in Bangkok on September 3 and 4, but the event was postponed due to the recent formation of the new government in the country. 

PM Modi's trip to Brunei occurs around a decade following his initial encounter with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in November 2014 during the 25th ASEAN Summit in Myanmar. They crossed paths once more at the 2017 East Asia Summit hosted in the Philippines. 

In July, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar held a meeting with his Brunei counterpart in Laos during the ASEAN gatherings. In honor of the four decades of diplomatic ties, the pair also unveiled a collaborative emblem. 

The primary objective of PM Modi's visit is to strengthen economic relations, and boost collaboration in the aerospace and military industries. India already possesses numerous accords with Brunei in the realm of space, as well as a telemetry station established in the nation. The Prime Minister's visit will assist in enhancing collaboration in this area, as per the statement from the Ministry of External Affairs. 

India and Brunei are seeking to strengthen their relationship in the field of energy security, particularly focusing on crude oil and hydrocarbons. 

Currently, India brings in crude oil worth $270 million from Brunei. Brunei has also been a significant player in strengthening ties between India and ASEAN by serving as the Country Coordinator for India from 2012 to 2015. Brunei has backed India's 'Act East Policy'. 

The Ministry of External Affairs stated that they are currently in talks with Brunei to establish a collaborative task force on defense.
