    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
  1. Awards and Honours – Makers of gene ‘scissors’ win Chemistry Nobel – Emmanuelle Charpentier of France and Jennifer Doudna of the U.S. won the Nobel Chemistry Prize for the gene-editing technique known as the CRISPR-Cas9 DNA snipping “scissors”, the first time a Nobel science prize has gone to a women-only team. Using the tool, “researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision,” the Nobel jury said. “This technology has had a revolutionary impact on the life sciences, is contributing to new cancer therapies and may make the dream of curing inherited diseases come true.” The technique has been tipped for a Nobel nod several times in the past, but speaking to reporters, Ms. Charpentier said the call was still a surprise.
  2. Indian Politics – Palaniswami is AIADMK CM candidate – Edappadi K. Palaniswami will be the ruling AIADMK’s candidate for Chief Minister in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly election. This was announced by Deputy Chief Minister and party coordinator O. Panneerselvam at the party headquarters in the presence of senior leaders and Ministers. The announcement ended the unease in the party over the issue since Aug 15. As an indication of his agreeing to Mr. Panneerselvam’s principal demand for an 11-member steering committee, the Chief Minister made public the composition of the panel that would guide the organisation in all matters.
  3. Bihar Elections – BJP gives eleven of its seats to VIP – The Bharatiya Janata Party gave eleven seats from its quota to Mukesh Sahni-led Vikashil Insaan Party, the new entrant to the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar. Earlier, the two major alliance partners had shared the 243 Assembly seats between themselves: the JD(U) 122 and the BJP 121. The three-phase elections to the Assembly are scheduled to begin on October 28. The JD(U) allocated seven seats from its quota to another alliance partner, the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), led by former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi..”
  4. USA – In sudden strike, US tightens H-1B wages and ‘speciality’ norms – A month before the elections, the Trump administration has conducted a surgical strike on the H-1B visa programme, a popular work visa which helps many Indian aspirants, especially in the technology sector, to fulfil their American dream. It has hiked the minimum wage requirements across all four levels (from entry level to experienced) and tightened norms - the definition of speciality occupation, which determines H-1B visa eligibility, is now narrower. However, it is the IT services/consultancy sector that will bear the biggest brunt of the new rules. The visa tenure in cases where H-1B workers are to be placed at client sites will be for a maximum of one year only. For companies in this sector, the new rules reimpose the need to submit customer contracts and itineraries of H-1B workers. Officials have also been given more powers to conduct site visits, including at third-party client sites.
  5. Constitution and Law – SC: public places cannot be occupied indefinitely – The Supreme Court found the indefinite “occupation” of a public road by the Shaheen Bagh protesters unacceptable. The court said the protest, considered an iconic dissent mounted by mothers, children and senior citizens of Shaheen Bagh against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, became inconvenient to commuters. The thirteen-page judgment upheld the right to peaceful protest against a law but made it unequivocally clear that public ways and public spaces cannot be occupied, and that too indefinitely. The court suggested that the outcry may have even gone out of hand for the women protesters. It referred to reports about how women were ensconced inside a tent while a “huge periphery” of “male protesters, volunteers and bystanders”, who wanted the blockade to continue, milled around.
  6. International Relations – India-Japan cyber security pact to promote cooperation in 5G, AI – The thirteenth India-Japan foreign ministers’ strategic dialogue on Wednesday saw the two sides finalising the text of a cyber security agreement that promotes cooperation in 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) apart from security and resilience in the areas of Critical Information Infrastructure. While details of the cooperation on 5G technology are not clear yet, the agreement is still significant coming as it does in the middle of the international backlash against China’s telecom major Huawei and as Japanese companies prepare to roll out 5G services ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. According to a statement issued by the MEA, recognising the increasing role being played by digital technologies, India and Japan highlighted the need for “robust and resilient’’ digital and cyber systems.
  7. World – Greek neo-Nazi party a criminal group: court – A Greek court found the leaders of neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn guilty of running a criminal organisation on Wednesday at the end of a historic trial that was hailed by the PM as a victory for democracy. The judgment in an Athens court came as police and anti-fascist demonstrators clashed outside the courthouse, on the sidelines of a large protest of some 15,000 people. After a trial lasting over five years, presiding judge Maria Lepenioti said Golden Dawn founder and leader Nikos Michaloliakos and other senior members were guilty of running a criminal organisation. The prosecutions were sparked by the late-night murder of 34-year-old anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas in Sept 2013.
  8. Central Asia – Kyrgyz opposition groups make rival power grabs after toppling government – The Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan slid deeper into chaos as rival opposition factions jostled for power, a day after they stormed government buildings, forcing the prime minister to quit and a parliamentary election to be annulled. Left isolated by the resignation of Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov’s government late on Tuesday, President Sooronbai Jeenbekov called for all-party talks in a statement on Wednesday, reiterating his willingness to mediate. Representatives of eight parties gathered at government headquarters on Wednesday evening to try to iron out their differences, but several large factions were absent while two rival candidates for the premiership emerged. Two presidents have been overthrown in Kyrgyzstan in the past 15 years, and longtime ally Russia expressed concern as protests spread across the country in the wake of latest vote.
  9. US Presidential Elections – Pence, Harris to clash in VP debate amid Covid-19 outbreak at White House – VP Mike Pence and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris were set to face off in their only debate, as President Donald Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis and the pandemic continue to roil the U.S. presidential contest. The televised encounter in Salt Lake City, Utah, comes after the Republican president announced last Friday that he had tested positive for the coronarivus amid a White House outbreak. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, is leading Trump in national polls, including an advantage of 12 %  points in the latest Reuters/Ipsos survey of likely voters, with less than four weeks until the Nov. 3 election. Polls show the race to be closer in some of the election battleground states that could determine the winner.
  10. India and its neighborhood – Pakistan to keep top suspect in Daniel Pearl murder in jail – A British-born Pakistani man who has been on death row over the 2002 killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl will remain in jail for another three months despite his acquittal by a lower court earlier this year. The development was announced by prosecutors during a brief hearing of the high-profile case at Pakistan’s Supreme Court, which was to decide whether the key suspect in Pearl’s slaying, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, should stay in jail following his acquittal.
