  1. Economy – ‘India got 273m out of poverty in 10 yrs’ – India had the biggest reduction in the number of multidimensionally poor people estimated at over 270 million during the 2005-15 period. The data, released by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), showed 65 of 75 countries studied significantly reduced their poverty levels between 2000 and 2019. Four countries —Armenia (2010–2015 /2016), India (2005/2006–2015/ 2016), Nicaragua (2001–2011/2012) and North Macedonia (2005/2006–2011) halved their global MPIT value and did so in 5.5–10.5 years. These countries show what is possible for countries with very different initial poverty levels. They account for roughly a fifth of world’s population, mostly because of India, the report said. The multidimensional index is a measure that looks beyond income to include access to safe water, education, electricity, food and six other indicators. But the impact of Covid-19 may slow down efforts to reduce multidimensional poverty.
  2. COVID-19 – U.S. breaks record for new coronavirus cases with over 77,000 in one day – America's coronavirus crisis has taken a turn for the worse. More than 77,000 new cases were reported on Thursday (July 16), beating the old single-day record by nearly 10,000. The daily death toll is more than 900, including a record 156 in Florida. Meanwhile, the national debate over wearing masks is intensifying as large parts of the economy remain at a standstill. As of Friday morning, the US accounted for the world's highest number of infections and fatalities at 3,570,037 and 138,291, respectively.
  3. Economy – India set to create its first overseas oil stockpile in US – India is moving to store oil in the US, the first time world’s third-largest oil guzzler is creating an emergency reserve abroad to take advantage of low prices and guard against possible supply disruptions. The move comes amid India’s deadly border stand-off with China in Ladakh and signals of New Delhi and Washington deepening their strategic bonding beyond defence. The US has emerged as India’s 6th largest oil supplier since the first US crude shipment reached Paradip in Odisha in October, 2017.
  4. COVID-19 – Less than 2% COVID-19 patients in ICU – The Union Health Ministry said that less than 1% COVID-19 patients in the country are on ventilator support, less than 2% cases in ICUs, and less than 3% on oxygen beds. It said the actual case load in the country is 3.42 lakh, with more than 6.35 lakh people recovering from the disease. The Health Ministry has also deployed a team to Bihar to review the situation in the State, which is witnessing a rising trend in COVID-19 cases.
  5. COVID-19 – Human trials for Covaxin begin – Three volunteers were administered Covaxin, India’s first indigenous COVID-19 vaccine, at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak on Friday (July 17) as part of the first phase of human trials. The vaccine, developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech in collaboration with Indian Council of Medical Research and National Institute of Virology, didn’t induce any initial adverse effects. The vaccine has been tested successfully on animals. The entire process might take six months and the final assessment on safety and the level of production of antibodies would be made by a safety board.
  6. Terrorism – UN blacklists Pak. Taliban leader Noor Wali Mehsud – The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terror group’s leader Noor Wali Mehsud has been designated as a global terrorist by the UN for participating in the financing, planning and perpetrating acts on behalf of and in support of entities associated with al-Qaeda. The UN Security Council’s 1267 ISIL and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee added Mehsud, 42, to the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda Sanctions List on July 16, subjecting the Pakistani national to an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo. In June 2018, Mehsud was named the leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, following the death of former TTP leader Maulana Fazlullah. The TTP was blacklisted by the UN on July 29, 2011 for its association with al-Qaeda. Under Noor Wali’s leadership, TTP has claimed responsibility for numerous deadly terrorist attacks across Pakistan, including an attack targeting Pakistani security forces in North Waziristan in July 2019 and a bomb attack against Pakistani soldiers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in August 2019.
  7. Business – Roshni Nadar: The first woman chairperson of an Indian IT company – Roshni Nadar Malhotra, India's wealthiest woman, is now the chairperson of HCL Technologies.

The move comes after Taipei criticised a new security law imposed on Hong Kong by Beijing, and opened an office in Taipei this month to help people who may want to leave the Asian financial centre. The official said the move was unprecedented and presented an “unnecessary political obstacle” for Taipei-Hong Kong ties.
  9. World – Security agencies can’t have unfettered access to online data: German court – Germany’s highest court has said security services had too much unfettered access to people’s online data and ordered legislation to be revised to set higher hurdles. German intelligence services and police agencies currently have the right to ask telecom and Internet companies for user info ranging from names and birth dates to passwords and IP addresses, to help their investigations. But the Court agreed with complaints brought by privacy activists that the access to data was excessive and an unconstitutional violation of citizens’ right to telecoms privacy. In their ruling, judges said the current powers to retrieve data were “disproportionate”.
  10. Internal security – In signal to China, Navy runs major exercise off Andamans – The Indian Navy is conducting a major exercise off the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, in a clear display of strategic intent against China amid the ongoing military confrontation along the border in eastern Ladakh. The Indian naval manoeuvres come at a time when two American super aircraft carriers, USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan, are conducting rare dual combat drills in the South China Sea, much to China’s chagrin. The exercise is being conducted with warships and aircraft from Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) and Eastern Naval Command (ENC).

                                                                                                            1. One can help to spread awareness: One can do a bit by spreading knowledge about those who are looking for jobs. It is also essential to spread the awareness to others about that vocation, and skill-based education, which can make a difference in the employment crisis that exists today.
                                                                                                            2. One can be a mentor: One can opt to become a mentor and establish emotional bonds to provide the support and guidance to youth, which will eventually help them to succeed in life and reach their goals.
                                                                                                            3. One can become a volunteer: Many of the well-known organisations today offer benefits to their employees that put in volunteering hours. This initiative can become a blessing to those who want to build their career in specific areas. As an example, if you are running a tech company, you can send your employees to solve IT problems at non-profit organisations. By doing this, it will help them improve their skills in specific areas by giving them a glimpse of the community around them.
