    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
  1. Farmers Protests – Govt. talks to breakaway leaders as farmers hold hunger strikes - As several thousand farmers held hunger strikes and dharnas at Delhi’s border and across the country, demanding a repeal of the three recent agricultural marketing laws, the Centre continued to engage with individual elements in the farmers’ movement, in an effort to restart negotiations and broker a settlement. The national convener of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), one of the farmer groups leading the protest, was removed from his position after he expressed willingness to engage in separate talks with the government, focussing on demands for a minimum support price (MSP) law, rather than the repeal of all the three contentious laws. As the protest reached its nineteenth day, leaders of the movement held a day-long hunger strike from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal joined the fast in solidarity. Dharnas, or sit-ins, were held across the country, with people coming out in 60% of districts.
  2. Economy – November sees food inflation drop to 9.43% – India’s retail inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) moderated marginally in November to 6.93%, from 7.61% recorded in October, with food price inflation cooling off to 9.43% from 11% in the previous month. In rural India, both overall retail inflation and food price inflation were about 0.5 percentage points higher than the 6.73% and 9.1% respectively recorded in urban India. The National Statistical Office (NSO) combines the rural and urban inflation rates to arrive at all-India inflation rates. The headline CPI inflation for November 2020 printed appreciably lower, benefiting from stable vegetable prices at the retail level.
  3. Defence – US agencies hit by massive cyber-attack - The U.S. government issued an emergency directive to federal agencies in the wake of a major cyberattack, at least two departments — including the Treasury — had been targeted by hackers with ties to Russia. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said it had ordered federal agencies to immediately stop using SolarWinds Orion IT products following reports that hackers had used a recent update to gain access to internal communications. IT company SolarWinds over the weekend admitted that hackers had exploited a backdoor in an update of some of its software released between March and June. The hacks are part of a wider campaign that also hit major cybersecurity firm FireEye, which said its own defences had been breached by sophisticated attackers who stole tools used to test customers’ computer systems. Microsoft also alerted its users to what it described as a sophisticated campaign aimed at “high value targets” in government and cybersecurity and which it said represented “nation-state activity at significant scale.”.
  4. Education – 4 lakh questions in twelve languages: ’21 JEE-M to be held in four cycles - Sixteen days of tests, 384 question papers in 12 languages and 4.2 lakh questions will define the scale of the Joint Entrance Examination (Main), to be held in four cycles starting Feb 2021, for admission to engineering courses. Registration of candidates for the February cycle is likely to start later this week. JEE (Main) 2021 will be conducted once each month, from February to May. The results would be announced in four to five days so as to give a window of around a week to candidates to apply for the subsequent month’s test.
  5. Covid-19 Updates - New coronavirus variant found in UK, may be spreading faster; London to move to highest alert - Britain’s capital will be placed under the highest level of coronavirus restrictions from Dec. 16 amid a “very sharp” spike in COVID-19 cases in London and its surrounding areas and a new variant of coronavirus being identified as responsible for the “faster spread”, the UK government announced in Parliament. Tier-3 restrictions, the highest level in England’s three-tier system, mean a near-complete lockdown, with people allowed to meet those they do not live with only in outdoor settings and hospitality venues directed to shut except for takeaways and deliveries. Experts had identified over 1,000 cases with the variant, predominantly in the south of England.
  6. Science and Technology - IIT Kanpur Researchers have developed ‘Damaru’ Inspired Lattice that finds applications in stealth submarines and high speed trains – The project is sponsored by A SPARC project of Ministry of Education. With the use of a micro-structured hour-glass shaped meta-structure in the lattice unit, one can get a wider variation of propagation and stop bands. Inspiration of the lattice has come from a two-headed drum called ‘Damaru’ or which is used in ancient Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. In this application, the researchers have also shown that the nature of stiffness of a vibrating medium could be altered drastically by controlling the lattice micro-structure from regular honeycomb to auxtetic honeycomb structure. This has wide applications in the field of vibration isolation in high speed trains, stealth submarines and helicopter rotors.
  7. Geography - El Niño was not the only cause for dry spells in the Indian Subcontinent - Indian Institute of Science’s (IISc) Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (CAOS) found in an examination that 43% of the droughts that occurred during the Indian summer monsoon season in the past century may have been driven by atmospheric disturbances from the North Atlantic region and  during these years El Niño was absent.  Between 1900 and 2015, India suffered 23 droughts but only 13 were associated with El Nino, unusual heating of the waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. What triggered the other 10, including the 2014 drought, remained a mystery.
  8. Business -  Ola plans world’s largest scooter factory in Tamil Nadu - Ola Electric said it will make two million electric scooters at a greenfield facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. This would displace Honda’s Vithalpur facility in Gujarat, which makes 1.2 million units of petrol-powered scooters a year. Ola has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state government for the factory, which will entail an investment of Rs 2,354 crore. The Ola investment will create nearly 2,200 jobs. Ola’s pact was part of 18 MoUs signed by the TN government, worth a cumulative investment of Rs 19,995 crore with the potential to create more than 26,500 jobs. The factory will produce Ola’s upcoming range of two-wheeler products, starting with its electric scooter. Ola plans to bring many such design and software innovations to its entire product line of two-wheelers.
  9. Corporate World – Tatas, US fund, group of employees submit EOIs for Air India - The government said it has received “multiple expressions of interest” for Air India as it tries to save the beleaguered carrier. While the Centre did not disclose the names, AI founder Tata Group, a group of AI employees and US-based retirement asset fund of NRIs Interups are among those to have placed expressions of interest in the Maharaja. There was speculation a global airline and SpiceJet’s Ajay Singh might have submitted an EoI, but there was no confirmation. Dec. 14 was the final day for placing an EoI for AI. Tata Group, which has a play in both budget and premier full-service carriers through AirAsia India and Vistara, is seen as the most likely winner.
  10. Arts and Culture – John le Carré, the spy who elevated thrillers to high art, dies at 89 - John le Carré, whose exquisitely nuanced, intricately plotted Cold War thrillers elevated the spy novel to high art by presenting both Western and Soviet spies as morally compromised cogs in a rotten system full of treachery, betrayal and personal tragedy, died of pneumonia in Cornwall, England. He was 89. Before his bestselling 1963 novel ‘The Spy Who Came in From the Cold’, the fictional model for the modern British spy was Ian Fleming’s James Bond—urbane, devoted to queen and country. Le Carré upended that notion. His spies are lonely, disillusioned men whose work is driven by budget troubles, bureaucratic power plays and the opaque machinations of politicians—men who are as likely to be betrayed by colleagues and lovers as by the enemy.
