ASHA worker's deathin AP sparks protests

Amaravati(AP), Jan 24

An ASHA worker died in the Government General

Hospital in Guntur in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday with

her fellow workers alleging that she died following

coronavirus vaccination. Guntur district Collector

Samuel Anand said the exact cause of the ASHA work-

er's death would be revealed only after a post-mortem

but maintained that not a single Adverse Event

Following Immunisation was reported in the district

as 10,099 healthcare staff were vaccinated in the first

eight days. ASHA workers staged a demonstration in

front of the GGH demanding that a compensation of

rs 50 lakh be paid to the deceased's family. A leader of

the Centre of Indian Trade Unions that led the protest

picked up an argument with the district Collector

when he visited the hospital to console the family

members of the deceased. The Collector said he would

send a proposal to the state government for payment

of compensation to the ASHA worker's kin, on the

lines of that paid to frontline health workers who suc-

cumbed to COVId-19. He also promised a house site

besides a job to an eligible member of the family. The

44-year old ASHA worker complained of severe

headache and fever on January 22, three days after

she took a shot of the coronavirus vaccine.

The democratic world has achoice either accept the politics ofviolence or kindle the urge to resistthe status quo. donald Trump’sdrive to upend a legitimate electionhas shaken faith in the functioningof democracy worldwide. When apresident of a country himself con-dones the rioters or calls them “pa-triots”, a grim reality awaits democ-racy in the face of the pervasive po-litical polarisation ripping apart thevery political fabric of a nation.Politicians across the globe sink tonew levels of unwarranted incite-ment of a malleable public, a disas-trous and politically debasing ten-dency of constitutional democracy.

The loss of faith in the rulingelite points towards a disturbing fu-ture. The long and cyclic dark histo-ry of civilisation, of wars and vio-lence, of religious fanaticism and ir-rationality is a loud indication of thefailure to model society on rationalprinciples. Our inherently dialecti-cal history confirms the simultane-ous birth of opposing forces at thevery moment of assertion of any“truth”. For example, the trajectoryof liberal democracy evolving intototalitarianism is evidently presentin the brute forces of Italian fascismor German Nazism, two striking ex-

amples of the birth of vulgar nation-alist fervour and racial superiority.In the wake of the debacle on CapitolHill, the world awakes to the realityof the scourge of violence withindemocracy, rousing a serious na-tional debate on what comprises ag-gression, who perpetuates it, andwhy. It is imperative to halt the run-away course of democracy towardsan environment increasingly sub-sumed in the violence of fear and ha-tred, an overwhelming plague in any

civil society. Breaking, therefore,through the intellectual vacuity ofthe official discourse and coming togrips with the history of electoral vi-olence we see that what happenedon the Potomac is nothing new inthe long history of racist and elec-toral violence. But it is not Mr.Trump who is solely responsible.The people are as much to beblamed. Jason Brennan, in his valu-able and bracing book, Againstdemocracy, makes the contrarian

conclusion that democratic partici-pation promotes human beings toforget common sense and commonpolitesse. Voters, as he puts it ratheruncharitably, are “biased, ill-in-formed football hooligans” who “canpresent arguments for their beliefs,but cannot explain alternativepoints of view”. Along with them arethe “hobbits”, a section that lacksfixed strong views on political mat-ters. These two categories have theirantithesis in the “Vulcans” who,Brennan argues, “think scientifical-ly and rationally about politics”.Nazism, Trumpism or Hindutva areoutstanding examples of this syn-drome and the analogy fits in aptlywith the credentials of the demon-strators in Washington dC, the “su-perbiased” who mindlessly fall inline with the manifesto of the rulingdispensation. Philosophical demo-cratic theory is, therefore, ratherperplexing. One aspect is theidolised view of democracy as aninimitably just form of governmentwhere people have the right to equalshare of political power that empow-ers the people. However, judging bythe history of violence, this could bean absolutely off the mark argumentwithin real-world politics. It onlyshows that political participationhas the potential of making people

A Pick between dark politics or collective resistance

India’s medical devices sector gets a fillip

Defending liberty against political prosecutionBY : MOHAN GOPAL

Courts need to recognise selec-tive prosecution as a threshold con-stitutional defence against theabuse of state power. One of the old-est, most pernicious and wide-spread forms of abuse of state pow-er in India involves the police andenforcement agencies selectivelytargeting political and ideologicalopponents of the ruling dispensa-tion to interrogate, humiliate, ha-rass, arrest, torture and imprisonthem, ostensibly on grounds unre-lated to their ideology or politics,while sparing comparably placedsupporters and friends of rulers ofthe day. As a recent example, theNovember 27, 2020 Supreme Courtjudgment granting TV anchorArnab Goswami bail says, not with-out considerable irony because ofthe personality involved, “The spe-cific case of the appellant [ArnabGoswami] is that he has been tar-geted because his opinions on histelevision channel are unpalatableto authority.” Scores of others arecurrently so targeted. Many, not asfortunate as Mr. Goswami to bequickly bailed out by the top court,are languishing in prison in inhu-man conditions. Is this use of statepower legally permissible? Is thereno escape for victims of such abuseof state power? Is their only remedybringing an action for wrongfulprosecution years later if they areacquitted and after sufferingthrough many years of process aspunishment? Or is there a legalremedy for nipping this evil in thebud, at the very outset, to protectthe life and liberty of the accused?

The problem is that the illegality in-volved in this type of prosecution isnot self evident. At first glance, theprosecution appears legally kosheracting on information about legalinfractions, the police pursue theaccused as per law. The illegality be-comes plain when two legal ques-tions are clearly distinguished andseparated: first, the legality of theexercise of prosecutorial discretionin the selection of the accused forbeing investigated and prosecuted;and second, the merits of the crimi-nal case filed against them. The twoare independent legal issues andshould not be wrongly conflated.On the first question, the applicablelegal standard is that while the po-lice and prosecutors in common lawjurisdictions enjoy vast discretionin deciding who they may pursue

and who they may spare, the choiceof accused must not be based ongrounds that violate Constitutionalrights, including the Article 14 rightto equal protection of the law. Theaccused should not be selected, ei-ther explicitly or covertly, on consti-tutionally prohibited grounds. Theillegal selection of accused based ongrounds prohibited by theConstitution is called “selectiveprosecution”. In the words of thenChief Justice W. rehnquist of theUnited States Supreme Court, “Aselective-prosecution claim is not adefense on the merits to the crimi-nal charge itself, but an independ-ent assertion that the prosecutorhas brought the charge for reasonsforbidden by the Constitution.”(United States v. Armstrong(1996)). “Selective prosecution” is

thus a constitutional claim assertedby defendants to assail the proceed-ings against them on the basis thatthey were selected for being prose-cuted in violation of Article 14 be-cause the grounds of selection areconstitutionally prohibited and arearbitrary. When the choice of ac-cused runs afoul of theConstitution, the entire criminalproceeding is vitiated, irrespectiveof the determination of the secondissue, viz., whether the accused areconvicted or acquitted on thecharges brought against them. Oncethe proceedings fail under the firstissue, there is no legal basis to pro-ceed to the second issue., i.e., trialon the merits of the case. The theoryis that the Constitution cannot beviolated to uphold the law — such anapproach would spell doom for theConstitution. The selective prose-cution claim must be adjudicated asa threshold issue, with the prosecu-tion being quashed at the outset ofthe criminal case if the claim is jus-tified. In the context of this discus-sion, the constitutionally prohibit-ed ground we are confronting inIndia is the political or ideologicalaffiliation of the accused. It is an ar-bitrary ground that violates theArticle 14 guarantee of equal pro-tection of the law. The United StatesSupreme Court has a long record ofexperience with the claim of selec-tive prosecution relevant to us as itis based on American equal protec-tion jurisprudence to which ourown Article 14 traces its roots. Inyick Wo v. Hopkins, the UnitedStates Supreme Court said some135 years ago (in 1886) that to pun-

The outbreak taught us the im-portance of local manufacturing, thedomestic market and local supplychains. The COVId-19 pandemicpresented India with unique condi-tions that forced the country to fasttrack innovations in the medical de-vices sector which, up until now, washighly dependent on imports. TheGovernment’s proactive approach inseeking the participation of entre-preneurs, national and global med-ical devices companies for innova-tion and collaboration in the med-ical devices sector resulted in a hostof solutions to help overcome thechallenges posed by the pandemic.As a result of this, several public-pri-vate partnerships (PPPs) and collab-orations are already underway to ad-dress the gaps in the healthcare sec-tor. These range from the COVId-19Taskforce which brought togethervarious technological advancementsrelated to the virus in publicresearch & development (r&d)laboratories, academia, start-ups,and industries to the department ofPharmaceuticals, which partneredwith various Ministries, academiaand a group of private companies forthe indigenous production of high-quality medical devices at a much

lower cost as compared to importedones. In the war against COVId-19,the med-tech sector in India hasstood firmly with the Governmentand private healthcare delivery play-ers. The Coronavirus outbreak wasespecially challenging for Indiawhich has always had a highly im-port-dependent medical devicessector. Through its flagship ‘Make inIndia’ initiative, the Centre has tak-en steps in the right direction by re-lying on local Indian manufacturersto meet the increased demand for es-sential medical equipment and con-sumables. Collaboration in the man-ufacturing sector has never been soimportant as it has been in the midstof this outbreak. This is because, nomanufacturer has been left un-touched by the effects of the pan-demic. The manufacturing commu-nity coming together to producecritical medical supplies for thecountry, shows that we can do ex-traordinary things through collabo-ration. The world has seen the dan-ger of relying on only a few countriesfor critical supplies. India has al-ready started promoting itself as analternative low-cost manufacturingdestination. Lots of companies willemerge out of the current crisis withmuch stronger customer and suppli-er relationships, which will put them

in a good position for the future. Tofurther promote local manufactur-ing, the Government introduced theProduction Linked Incentive (PLI)scheme. The PLI scheme for themedical devices sector will helpmeet the objective of product diver-sification and innovation. Underthis scheme, the Government haswitnessed a very positive responsefrom the industry, whereby 28 ap-plications were submitted by 23medical device manufacturers and215 came from 83 pharmaceutical

firms. These initiatives have the po-tential to contribute significantly inachieving self-reliance in the med-ical technology sector. In the na-tion’s attempts to stay ahead of anyunforeseen threats, diagnostics hasa pivotal role to play. Obtainingtimely, patient-level data on emerg-ing threats to global health, includ-ing infectious diseases will be crucialin the long run. Framing of disease-control strategies can be aidedthrough capturing and sharing of

unaffordable to the poor and a strain on the budgets of

even middle-class citizens. Clearly, the cost of some medi-

cines, especially to poorer patients and those who require

long-term or lifelong treatment, is a matter of concern.

Government shall consider taking legal steps to make it com-

pulsory for doctors to prescribe medicines by generic names

rather than by brand names; the reason, ostensibly, is that

pharmaceutical companies were pricing their products be-

yond affordable limits. Here, it must be recognized that phar-

maceutical companies are not charitable organizations; like

all businesses, they exist to generate profits for their share-

holders. Therefore, a reasonable margin of profit cannot be

grudged, and a broader margin of profit on some drugs could

be necessary to offset a narrow margin of profit on other

drugs, or even a loss made on other drugs, where the other

drugs are for niche indications, or are under price control.

Taking a good initiative on their behalf doctors Association

Kashmir has urged doctors in Jammu and Kashmir to pre-

scribe generic drugs instead of branded medicines. That

would make drugs accessible to poor patients who are not able

to buy expensive branded medicines. Generic medicines are

copycat versions of branded drugs and are equal to their

branded counterparts in terms of strength, quality, efficacy

and safety. They cost 80 to 90 percent less than the branded

medicines as manufactures do not have to spend on the devel-

opment and promotion of the drug. More than 24 lakh people

in JK do not have access to medicines due to lack of purchas-

ing power. Majority of the cancer patients die for want of treat-

ment because they cannot afford expensive branded drugs.

Generic drugs make treatment affordable for cancer patients

and, as a result, save lives. research has shown that generic

drugs significantly reduce deaths among cancer patients. Two

studies published in the Lancet medical journal have found

that the use of two inexpensive generic drugs – aromatase in-

hibitors and Bisphosphonates – significantly improved sur-

vival rates in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.

With the introduction of generic form of “Gleevec”, the drug

used for blood cancer, many lives have been saved. Use of

generic drugs in other chronic medical conditions, like dia-

betes, hypertension and other cardiovascular ailments would

result in long term adherence to essential therapies. It was be-

cause of generic drugs that saved millions of lives with AIdS.

While generic drug use has increased over time, in JK doctors

continue to dole out expensive branded drugs when equally

effective and cheaper versions are available. There is a percep-

tion generated that because generic drugs are cheaper, they

will be less effective. We need to raise awareness among peo-

ple that would change their perception towards generic drugs.

1935 : First canned beer goes on saleCanned beer makes its debut on January 24, 1935. In partnership

with the American Can Company, the Gottfried Krueger Brewing

Company delivered 2,000 cans of Krueger’s Finest Beer and Krueger’s

Cream Ale to faithful Krueger drinkers in richmond, Virginia. Ninety-

one percent of the drinkers approved of the canned beer, driving Krueger

to give the green light to further production. By the late 19th century,

cans were instrumental in the mass distribution of foodstuffs, but it was-

n’t until 1909 that the American Can Company made its first attempt to

can beer. This was unsuccessful, and the American Can Company would

have to wait for the end of Prohibition in the United States before it tried

ish some persons for “what is permitted to others as law-ful, without any distinction of circumstances [is] an un-just and illegal discrimination”. The Court said further,“Though the law itself be fair on its face and impartial inappearance, yet, if it is applied and administered by pub-lic authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so aspractically to make unjust and illegal discrimination be-tween persons in similar circumstances, material to theirrights, the denial of equal justice is ...within the prohibi-tion of the Constitution.” Chief Justice William rehnquistsaid in Armstrong, “A prosecutor’s discretion is subject toconstitutional constraints… One of these constraints, im-posed by the equal protection component of the dueProcess Clause of the Fifth Amendment… is that the deci-sion whether to prosecute may not be based on “an unjus-tifiable standard such as race, religion, or other arbitraryclassification”…. Justice John Paul Stevens said in thesame case, “the possibility that political or racial animosi-ty may infect a decision to institute criminal proceedingscannot be ignored... For that reason, it has long been set-tled that the prosecutor’s broad discretion to determinewhen criminal charges should be filed is not completelyunbridled…” Our courts have not recognised selectiveprosecution as an independent claim because of the erro-neous assumption that the lawfulness of prosecution canonly be taken up after the trial, if the accused is acquitted.Thus, for example, the 2018 report of the LawCommission on ‘Wrongful Prosecution (Miscarriage ofJustice): Legal remedies’ discusses remedies for wrong-ful prosecution available only if and after the accused isacquitted. remedy after acquittal comes far too late, wellafter a brutal and long drawn out criminal justice process

that upends the lives of the victims. Also, the right againstselective prosecution cannot be extinguished by convic-tion. Separate from post-acquittal actions for wrongfulprosecution (which will still be available), the claim of se-lective prosecution is a threshold issue that is required tobe adjudicated at the outset of criminal proceedings (evenduring the investigation stage) irrespective of the merit ofthe charges. The judgment of Justice d.y. Chandrachudin the Goswami case is crucial in this regard. It provides amuch needed and long awaited legal opening to strength-en the recognition and use of the selective prosecutionclaim in India to counter politically coloured prosecutionunleashed by the state and defend our liberty. In additionto acknowledging Mr. Goswami’s claim that he is beingtargeted for opinions he holds and expresses, the judg-ment says, “Courts should be alive to... the need ...of en-suring that the law does not become a ruse for targetedharassment.The doors of this Court cannot be closed to acitizen who is able to establish prima facie that the instru-mentality of the State is being weaponized for using theforce of criminal law”. The Goswami judgment alsoquotes the 2018 Supreme Court holding in romilaThapar v. Union of India that, “The basic entitlement ofevery citizen who is faced with allegations of criminalwrongdoing is that the investigative process should befair. This is an integral component of the guaranteeagainst arbitrariness under Article 14 and of the right tolife and personal liberty under Article 21.” To strengthenthe protection of civil liberty, equality and democracy, it istime our courts at all levels recognise selective prosecu-tion as a threshold constitutional defence against theabuse of police and prosecutorial power.

more irrational, prejudiced and mean. It pulls apart, im-pedes the social order and creates antagonists of civic or-der. A higher form of life that democracy promises seemsto evade the public. The debatable questions, therefore,would be: does democracy leave you smart and active, ordumb and uncivilised? does it give us a broad outlook or isit selfishly limiting to one’s immediate needs? does it notmake people live in a world of delusion and deceit expedi-ently passing the blame on to the Left or the “professionalanarchists” responsible for violent acts of arson and loot,while thousands of protesters sustaining the powerfulstate apparatus are labelled as “peaceful” or as “patriots”.death, pain and physical injury of people fighting back forcivil liberties and human rights are of no consequence. Thepower and brutality of state violence therefore stands legit-imised while justifiable or innocent violence accompany-ing demonstrations against racism or police ferocity resultin ruthless consequences. The nightmare of history in-deed, brings us face to face with sinister times that impelthe need to oppose the offensive right-wing narrative thatdiscourages dialogue, economic welfare and freedom ofexpression. The erosion of egalitarianism and freedomthrough unprecedented challenges from anti-humanist

forces pushing democratic institutions to the brink of fail-ure is effectively in operation globally. At the irreduciblemoment of confronting the nightmare of history, we have achoice before us. Either we accept the politics of ethnic in-tolerance, inequality and violence or arouse within us theunfaltering urge to resist the status quo. In the absence ofactivism, people are bound to fall prey to irrationality, re-sentment, xenophobia and the inexorable yearning forfear-inducing power. Shockingly, the right-wing fringe ele-ment anywhere in the world, America or India, seem un-touched by the state brutality on the innocent and the mar-ginalised. recognising the failures of the past while retain-ing hope for the future, we need to develop a critique of vio-lence within democracies that is adequate to the times.Understandably, there is always a political struggle basicto the recognition of evident and hidden forms of injusticeand violence that make people mindful of it, deliberate on it, andact. These are the “political beginnings” that Hannah Arendtoptimistically spoke of in her perennially relevant book,Men in dark Times. To her, the collective power of the peo-ple mattered more than the power of the state, but onlywhen the struggle is against authoritarianism and bigotry,not when the masses begin to prop a fascist disposition.

With an exemplar shift in global economies andgeopolitics, it will be crucial for India to re-strategise aclear long-term road map for the promotion of this indus-try. The contagion has accelerated reliance on diagnosticsand testing. The focus of the Government since the start ofthe pandemic has been to scale and upgrade testing infra-structure and ensure availability of testing kits. In addition,the designated COVId -19 laboratories require skilled man-power for operating various instruments and accessories,and for the use of software for accurate reporting of test re-

sults. There is a colossal need to train staff to efficientlyhandle samples and operate instruments in multiple shiftsin order to ramp up the testing capability. Boosting localmanufacturing will help in expanding the country’s do-mestic production and national self-sufficiency for imple-menting scalable testing strategies. domestic manufac-turers came forward to develop low-cost diagnostic kits,including Viral Transport Media kits, rT-PCr kits and rNA iso-lation kits, for the pandemic. The large-scale production of allthese kits helped meet the requirements of the country, re-ducing its dependence on imports. The Novel Coronavirusoutbreak has managed to teach us the importance of localmanufacturing, the domestic market and local supply chains.Through concerted efforts, the Govt, healthcare stakeholdersand the industry can drive innovation in diagnostics bymaking resources available and the healthcare ecosystemmore agile in the fight against these emerging threats.

1935 .......................................................again. Finally in 1933, after two years of research, American

Can developed a can that was pressurized and had a special

coating to prevent the fizzy beer from chemically react-

ing with the tin. The concept of canned beer proved to be

a hard sell, but Krueger’s overcame its initial reserva-

tions and became the first brewer to sell canned beer in

the United States. The response was overwhelming.

Within three months, over 80 percent of distributors

were handling Krueger’s canned beer, and Krueger’s was

eating into the market share of the “big three” national

brewers–Anheuser-Busch, Pabst and Schlitz. Competitors

soon followed suit, and by the end of 1935, over 200 mil-

lion cans had been produced and sold. The purchase of

cans, unlike bottles, did not require the consumer to pay

a deposit. Cans were also easier to stack, more durable and

took less time to chill. As a result, their popularity contin-

ued to grow throughout the 1930s, and then exploded

during World War II, when U.S. brewers shipped mil-

lions of cans of beer to soldiers overseas. After the war,

national brewing companies began to take advantage of

the mass distribution that cans made possible, and were

able to consolidate their power over the once-dominant

local breweries, which could not control costs and opera-

tions as efficiently as their national counterparts.

South America and even Africa. And while the spotlightmight be on Hero, others such as Bajaj Auto and TVSMotors have also been huge ‘Make In India’ superstarswith Bajaj, in particular, one of the strongest performers inthe export market, its name ubiquitous in many parts ofthe world for their three-wheelers and the Pulsar motorcy-cle, has been so successful that Bajaj’s Chinese rivals havetaken to copying it. India’s success story in the two-wheelersegment proves that Indian companies can be championsin manufacturing as well, and the narrative that India lostout to China in manufacturing does not hold true. Muchlike Bajaj, another Pune-based company, the SerumInstitute of India (SII), is playing a major role in manufac-turing the AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine for theworld. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsed itswork and importance by saying that India’s fight againstthe Coronavirus pandemic strengthened the country’shealth infrastructure through the ‘Make in India’ mission.Lauding companies like the SII, Bharat Biotech and others,he said that India took quick, proactive decisions and didnot wait for the problem to aggravate. Similarly, theCabinet Committee on Security last week approved a rs48,000-crore agreement for the acquisition of 83 TejasLight Combat Aircraft for the Indian Air Force the largest

indigenous procurement deal to date. The defence establishment also unveiled a slew of new,

indigenously-developed equipment at an Army innovationevent that included Shakti, a cutting-edge bulletproof jack-et, a 9mm machine pistol and a surveillance ‘microcopter’,among other technologies. India cannot only be self-suffi-cient, India can and must manufacture for the world.While our services sector has proved that India can be theback office for the globe and we can make software for theentire world, manufacturing in India can employ millionsand turbo-charge job creation which should be the priorityof the Government right now.

As companies seek to diversify their manufacturingchains away from China after the pandemic, successes likeHero, Bajaj and TVS prove that India can do it and that itcan be a destination for high-quality manufacturing. yes,there remain some pitfalls in terms of compliances, legaland regulatory issues, and as the recent incident inBengaluru shows when an irate Communist mob attackedthe facilities of Taiwanese company Winstrom that wasmaking iPhones, there are still some major problems. Andthose have to be resolved if both the Government’s ambi-tious schemes ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’s and ‘Make In India’are to go to the next level.

The United States has strongly con-demned russia's use of harsh tacticsagainst protesters and journalists de-manding the release of jailed oppositionleader Alexei Navalny.

The US State department called onrussian authorities to release all those de-tained for exercising their universal rightsand for the immediate and unconditionalrelease of Navalny.

We urge russia to fully cooperate withthe international community's investiga-tion into the poisoning of Aleksey Navalnyand credibly explain the use of a chemicalweapon on its soil, State departmentSpokesperson Ned Price said in a state-ment amidst widespread protests acrossrussia.

Prior to today's events, the russiangovernment sought to suppress the rightsto peaceful assembly and freedom of ex-pression by harassing protest organisers,threatening social media platforms, andpreemptively arresting potential partici-pants, he said.

This follows years of tightening restric-tions and repressive actions against civil

society, independent media, and the politi-cal opposition, he added.

Continued efforts to suppressrussians' rights to peaceful assembly andfreedom of expression, the arrest ofNavalny, and the crackdown on protestersthat followed are troubling indications offurther restrictions on civil society andfundamental freedoms, Price said.

russians' rights to peaceful assemblyand to participate in free and fair elections

are enshrined not only in the country'sconstitution, but also in russia's OSCEcommitments, the Universal declarationof Human rights, and in its internationalobligations under the InternationalCovenant on Civil and Political rights, hesaid.

Joe Biden conveyed his in-tention to strengthen the "spe-cial relationship" with the UKin his first call as the USPresident with British PrimeMinister Boris Johnson, dur-ing which the two leaders re-committed to the NATO al-liance and agreed to cooperateon combating climate changeand containing the COVId-19pandemic.

The conversation withJohnson over phone onSaturday was Biden's third in-volving a foreign leader sincehis inauguration onWednesday, after he spokewith Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau and Mexico'sPresident Andres ManuelLopez Obrador on Friday.

"Great to speak toPresident Joe Biden thisevening. I look forward todeepening the longstandingalliance between our twocountries as we drive a greenand sustainable recovery fromCOVId-19," Johnson said in atweet.

It seem that a new tradeagreement was not on the listof priorities for both sides.While the downing Streetreadout of the phone call re-ferred to Johnson reiteratinghis intention to resolve exist-ing trade issues as soon as pos-sible, the White House com-munique of the call only re-ferred to "strengthening thespecial relationship".

"The president conveyedhis intention to strengthen thespecial relationship betweenour countries and revitalisetransatlantic ties, underscor-ing the critical role of NATO toour collective defense andshared values," the WhiteHouse said.

"Building on the UK andUS' long history of cooperationin security and defence, theleaders re-committed to theNATO alliance and our sharedvalues in promoting humanrights and protecting democ-racy. They also discussed thebenefits of a potential freetrade deal between our two

One of England's leadingmedical officers on Sundayurged the public to continue tofollow the strict lockdown rulesbecause any vaccine-relatedimmunity from COVId-19takes at least three weeks to

kick in.Professor Jonathan Van-

Tam, England's deputy ChiefMedical Officer, also warnedthat there is no clear evidenceyet to show that vaccinatedpeople cannot transmit thedeadly virus on to others.

regardless of whethersomeone has had their vaccina-

tion or not, it is vital that every-one follows the national re-strictions and public health ad-vice, as protection takes up tothree weeks to kick in and wedon't yet know the impact ofvaccines on transmission, saidVan-Tam.

His warning comes as theUK registered another highdaily death toll from the virusof 1,348 this weekend, takingthe country's total to 97,329.

However, he pointed to anadditional 32 vaccination sitescoming on stream to add to thethousands of venues where theNational Health Service (NHS)has been delivering 140 jabs aminute, taking the vaccinatedtotal to over 5.8 million.

The vaccine is rightlysomething to celebrate let'sstay patient, stay at home andsupport the NHS as it contin-ues to roll out the vaccine, hesaid.

A Living Museum wherethe BBC filmed a hit drama se-ries Peaky Blinders' based onthe notorious Birminghamgang in the 1920s is among thenew vaccine sites.

A former IKEA store at theWestfield shopping centre inStratford, London, the FrancisCrick Institute, which is also inthe UK capital, the NightingaleHospital in Sunderland and theBlackpool Winter Gardens willalso be new vaccination cen-tres.

The latest openings meanthere will be a network of al-most 50 across the country,adding to options alongsidehospitals, pharmacies and gen-eral practice (GP) surgeries.

Through the vaccines deliv-ery plan, we have made out-standing progress in vaccinat-ing our NHS and care staff andthe most vulnerable people insociety, said UK Health

Secretary Matt Hancock.We must not drop our

guard. While the vaccine canprevent severe disease, we donot know if it stops you frompassing on the virus to others,and it takes time to develop im-munity after a jab, so for noweveryone must continue to stayat home to help bring down in-fections and protect the NHS,he said.

The NHS said the new vac-cine centres will each be capa-ble of delivering thousands ofjabs each week, scaling up anddown according to vaccine sup-plies and demand.

People eligible in the prior-ity criteria of over-80s, fol-lowed by over-70s, care homeworkers and staff as well asfrontline workers, are being in-vited when it is their turn andpeople are being urged not tojust turn up.

These new centres provide

another option for people invit-ed for their jabs, alongside thefantastic work of local GPs, saidProfessor Stephen Powis, NHSnational medical director.

Vaccine Minister NadhimZahawi added: As of next weekthere will be almost 50 vaccina-tion centres, more than 250hospitals hubs and over 1,000local vaccination service sites,run by GPs and pharmaciesright across the country.

This will enable us to vacci-nate as many people as possiblein the weeks and months tocome and I encourage anyonewho has been invited for a freevaccine to come forward andget a jab.

The NHS said its newVaccination Centres will kickoff by jabbing mainly healthand social care staff fromMonday before opening theirdoors to more patients onTuesday.

Cashing in on the fearful atmos-phere prevailing in South Africaamidst a second wave and a new vari-ant of the COVId-19 virus, someHindu priests in the country are al-legedly charging exorbitant rates forconducting funerals of coronavirusvictims. The priests are under fire forcharging between 1,200 rand (USd79) and 2,000 rand (USd 131) to con-duct a funeral, according to Pradeepramlall, a member of the Hindudharma Association of South Africaand Manager of the Clare EstateCrematorium in durban.

This is not right. As per our scrip-tures, this is our seva (service) to thecommunity. If a family wants to give apriest a donation, then that is accept-able but priests should not be charg-ing people, he told the Weekly Postnewspaper as he slammed the priestswho are overcharging.

ramlall said the organisation hasreceived a number of complaints frompeople whose relatives succumbed tothe deadly contagion.

In recent weeks, in view of a sec-ond wave and a new variant of theCOVId-19 virus, the crematorium hashad to introduce double shifts amiddaily deaths in the city which is hometo more than a third of South Africa'sIndian-origin population of about 1.4million.

I was in my vehicle. The priest hadconducted a COVId-19 victim's fu-neral. While he was in the parking lot,he removed 100 rand (USd 6.6) notesfrom his pocket and counted it beforesanitising each note and putting themoney back into his pocket, ramlallsaid recounting an incident that hehad personally witnessed. He calledon the community to avoid being ex-ploited under the current trying cir-cumstances which was bringing griefto so many families and asked them toconduct the cremation themselves.

Larry King was easy topoke fun at, particularly late inhis career at CNN: the pinchedlook, guffaws and coke-bottleglasses, the suspenders andold-time microphone on thedesk in front of him.

He was grandpa trying todance to drake at a wedding.

But at least grandpa tried,didn't he? And if you sat downto talk with him, he could takeyou places with his words, andyou would enjoy the journey.you'd certainly be sorry if hewasn't there.

Hearing about King'sdeath Saturday at age 87stirred a similar feeling. TheBrooklyn-born King was aclassic conversationalist, a

throwback to a different era inshowbiz and media even dur-ing the height of his on-air ca-reer.

For 25 years until 2010,Larry King Live was a fixtureon CNN's weeknight schedule,and that was after a lengthycareer as a late-night radiohost. King talked to politiciansand musicians, the seriousand the silly, not as a news-man but as anyone would ifsuddenly thrust into the roomwith a famous face.

Sometimes it felt that way;King would never be accusedof over-preparing for an inter-view. Journalists at CNNgnashed their teeth at missedopportunities to show off theirtoughness and knowledge ifthey'd been in his place askingquestions of premiers or pres-

idents. He described himselfas a minimalist whose chiefgoal was to make his guestslook good. I ask short ques-tions, he said once. I have nopretense at intellectuality.King could fill a blooper reel ofgaffes of moments that would

have been fatal to the careersof lesser personalities. Hemistakenly addressed ringoStarr as George," and notori-ously asked Jerry Seinfeld if itwas his choice to leave hisnamesake sitcom or if the net-work had cancelled it.

People who recover fromCOVId-19 are protected against thenovel coronavirus for at least sixmonths, and likely much longer, ac-cording to a study which says theimmune system evolves long afterthe infection and may block evenmutant forms of the virus such asthe South African variant.

The research, published in thejournal Nature, noted that antibod-ies are produced by immune cellsthat keep evolving, apparently dueto a continued exposure to rem-nants of the virus hidden in the guttissue.

According to the scientists, in-cluding those from rockefellerUniversity in the US, the study pro-vides the "strongest evidence yet"that the immune system "remem-bers" the virus and, remarkably,continues to improve the quality ofantibodies even after the infectionhas waned.

They suspect that when recov-ered patients next encounters thevirus, the response would be bothfaster and more effective, prevent-ing reinfection.

"This is really exciting news.The type of immune response wesee here could potentially provideprotection for quite some time, byenabling the body to mount a rapidand effective response to the virus

upon re-exposure," says Michel C.Nussenzweig, a co-author of thestudy from rockefeller University.

While antibodies against thecoronavirus linger in the bloodplasma for several weeks ormonths, earlier studies have shown

that their levels significantly dropwith time.

However, the researchersshowed that instead of producingantibodies all the time, the immunesystem creates memory B cells thatrecognise the coronavirus, andquickly unleash a new round of an-tibodies when they encounter it a

second time.Since the novel coronavirus

replicates in the cells of the lungs,upper throat, and small intestine,they suspect that residual viral par-ticles hiding within these tissuescould be driving the evolution of

memory B cells.In the current study, the scien-

tists studied the antibody respons-es of 87 individuals at two time-points -- one month after infection,and then again six months later.

Although antibodies were stilldetectable by the six-month point,their numbers had markedly de-

creased, with lab experiments re-vealing that the ability of the partic-ipants' plasma samples to neu-tralise the virus was reduced byfive-fold.

In contrast, the researchersfound that the patients' memory Bcells -- specifically those that pro-duce antibodies against the coron-avirus -- did not decline in number.

These cells also slightly in-creased in some cases, the studynoted.

The scientists also discoveredthat the memory B cells had gonethrough numerous rounds of muta-tion even after the infection re-solved.

As a result, the antibodies theyproduced were much more effec-tive than the originals, the studynoted.

According to the researchers,these antibodies were better able tolatch on tightly to the virus, andcould recognise even mutated ver-sions of it.

"The overall numbers of memo-ry B cells that produced antibodiesattacking the Achilles' heel of thevirus, known as the receptor-bind-ing domain, stayed the same," saidChristian Gaebler, another co-au-thor of the study.

"That's good news becausethose are the ones that you need ifyou encounter the virus again,"Gaebler said.

When you eat sugary fruit for anextended period, you increase yourbloodstream's glucose level. Thisleads to a rapid rise in your insulinlevels. If you go without eating anapple for a few days, you'll experi-ence glucose spikes in your blood.There are worse things that canhappen to your body if you don'tcontrol the amount of glucose.

make your diabetes worse if you areon medication. Excess carbohy-drates can come back to haunt youwhen you are trying to lose weight.Exercising means your body needsto burn more fuel to get through theday. It does this by burning morefood. Eating many sugary applescauses a surge in your blood sugarand drop your energy levels.

Ingesting pesticidesIf you have kids and they are

toddlers, it would be a good idea foryou to teach them how to preventingesting too many apples. Someapple tree diseases can be fatal toyour child. If they do not have theimmunity needed to handle thechemical substances in an apple,they can become ill and may evendie.

Some of the common symp-toms of apple poisoning are vomit-ing, diarrhoea, weakness, and res-piratory failure. If your toddler hasexperienced these symptoms afterconsuming too many apples, it isbest to bring them to the doctorright away.

The UN’s Food and AgricultureOrganisation (FAO) has announced 2021as the International year of Fruits andVegetables (IyFV) with an appeal to im-prove healthy and sustainable food pro-duction through innovation and technolo-gy and to reduce food loss and waste.

The IyFV 2021 will aim to raise aware-ness about the importance of Fruits andVegetables in nutrition, food security andhealth. Especially during these pandemictimes, Fruits and Vegetables are ideal forstrengthening our immune systems.

High nutritional valueThe focus on Fruits and vegetables this

year will encourage countries to improve

infrastructure, farming practices and foodsupply chains as these are perishable itemsand need to be eaten fresh. Increasing theshelf life of fresh produce items and pre-serving their high nutritional value are al-so important. This will also present an op-portunity for farmers to switch to thesecash crops as they are very profitable.

According to FAO, up to 50 per cent ofFruits and Vegetables produced in devel-oping countries are lost in the supply chainbetween harvest and consumption.Besides, significant quantities that areperfectly fit for consumption are wastedalong the food system because of aestheticor physical irregularities.

Guggul is the common namefor the flowering myrrh tree(Commiphora mukul orCommiphora wightii), native toIndia, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Called the Indian bdellium, itis a small flowering plant fromthe Burseraceae family alsoknown as incense family. It pro-duces a specific resin calledGuggulipid. It is this oleo-gumresin that is said to have thera-peutic benefits.

From the incense familyUsed in Ayurvedic medicine

for over two thousand years,Guggul is known by the Sanskritname Guggulu, which means,“protects from disease.” Thereare many varieties of Guggul -each with different uses - deter-mined in part by the colour andage of the gum. It is said that thepotency of Guggul lasts 20 years.

Its juice is tapped from theplants similarly to how maplesyrup is extracted from mapletrees - by making a small hole inthe bark of the tree, from whichthe aromatic resin flows slowly.When the drop dries out, it is al-ready ready to be collected.Guggul can be used for incense orto make medicinal extracts, pow-ders and salves. The gum can alsobe purchased in a loosely packedform called dhoop in India, whichis burned over hot coals. Thisproduces a fragrant, densesmoke. It is also sold in the formof incense sticks and dhoop coneswhich can be burned directly.

The taste of guggul is sharp,bitter, firming and sweet at thesame time, and its aftertaste israther bitter. Purported to haveanti-inflammatory and antioxi-dant properties, Guggul is highly

valued in Ayurveda because of itshealing properties, and it has be-come a rare herb due to the highdemand.

A resin with powerful an-tioxidants

Because of its bitter taste,Guggul is seldom used to maketea. But Guggul contains a mix-ture of plant compounds, includ-ing essential oils, lignans,flavonoids, carbohydrates andamino acids.

The essential oils that can befound in the resin contain power-ful antioxidants and thanks tothem it can also be used for reju-venation.

According to Ayurveda, theguggulipids allow the body tomanage the accumulated surplusof Vata and Kapha doshas.Guggul has Vata balancing prop-erty and gives relief from pain

and swelling in the joints. That’swhy it is very useful in the processof recovery after bone fracturesand also in patients sufferingfrom osteoarthritis.

In Ayurveda, Guggul is alsouseful in weight management asit helps to improve metabolismand reduce Ama (toxic remains inthe body due to improper diges-tion) by increasing the digestivefire.

Guggulu also helps reduce theproduction of sebum which in-hibits the growth of acne-causingbacteria due to its antibacterialproperty. When used for medi-cine, Guggul may be taken inter-nally, applied to the skin as asalve or paste, or gargled to pro-mote oral health.

Benefits of Guggulu• detoxification and rejuve-

nation• Blood purifier• Healthy cholesterol levels• digestion• Weight loss• Joint pains• Supports the immune sys-

tem• Urinary complaints• Intestinal worms• Leucoderma (vitiligo)• Acne• Sinuses• HypothyroidismGuggul supplements are

available in a wide range offorms, including capsules, ex-tracts, powders, and lotions.Companies like Himalaya,Baidyanath, Kerala Ayurvedaand dabur have Guggulu supple-ments available on Amazon.in

party is holed up. Word is that

Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor and

Arjun Kapoor amongst others

with Varun dhawan having a

trio of important projects

lined up, which he's eager to

TheSingham actor plays IAF Vijay Karnik in the film,who, with the help of the local women, reconstruct-ed the destroyed Indian Air Force airstrip at Bhujin Gujarat. Vijay earlier expressed his happiness ofAjay devgn playing him in the film and said, "Wewere fighting a war and if there had been any casu-alties of any of these women, it would have been agreat loss to the war effort. But I took the decisionand it worked out. I had briefed them where theycould take shelter if attacked and they followed itbravely. Also, I could only and only see Ajay devgnessaying my character and I’m glad he’s onboard.

Bigg Boss 14 saw a fight betweenAly Goni and Abhinav Shukla somedays ago. It happened during the Lock

Out task. The fight began after AlyGoni said he would not let anyone en-ter after the team announced an un-

limited supply of coffee. Aly Goniblocked the door. An argument hap-pened between Abhinav Shukla andAly Goni. Both of them said someharsh words to one another. But thefight looked rather unnecessary giventhat the housemates did not seem to beenthusiastic while doing the task. AlyGoni had been chilling on the sidelineswith Arshi Khan and Sonali Phogat.The two began abusing one anotherand even came close to getting physi-cal. However, the fight was anythingbut intense. It looks like it was just an-other hyped promo. The two fought fora few minutes, but things calmed downlater. This is one unsual thing this sea-son. There does not seem to be highlevel of competition. Most of the fightshave been fake or staged dramas thangenuine organic flare-ups. And 80% ofour viewers agree, whereas only a mere20% have said that the fight and disre-spect shown by them towards one an-other was justified. Going by the cur-rent scenario, Abhinav Shukla looks allset for the top five. Meanwhile, there’sa tussle between Eijaz Khan, Aly Goniand rahul Vaidya. rubina dilaik is theoutright favourite for the title rightnow unless something truly out of thisworld happens. We have to see howeveryone ups their game hereon.
