North Korea, US say nuclear talks to resume this weekend

It is my expectation that the working-level negotiations would accelerate the positive development of the DPRK-US relations," Choe said in the statement, using an abbreviation for North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.The U.S. confirmed the talks."I can confirm that US and DPRK officials plan to meet within the next week. I do not have further details to share on the meeting," said state department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, who is traveling with secretary of state Mike Pompeo in Rome.Nuclear negotiations have been at a standstill for months following a February summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump in Hanoi, Vietnam. Those talks broke down after the US rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for partially surrendering its nuclear capabilities.North Korea followed the summit with belligerent rhetoric and a slew of short-range weapons tests that were widely seen as an attempt to gain leverage ahead of a possible resumption of negotiations.Choe's announcement came after North Korea praised Trump last month for suggesting that Washington may pursue an unspecified "new method" in nuclear negotiations with the North. North Korea also has welcomed Trump's decision to fire hawkish former national security adviser John Bolton, who advocated a "Libya model" of unilateral denuclearisation as a template for North Korea.The 2004 disarmament of Libya is seen by Pyongyang as a deeply provocative comparison because Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was killed following US-supported military action in his country seven years after giving up a rudimentary nuclear program that was far less advanced than North Korea's.The office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who lobbied hard to set up the first summit between Kim and Trump last year in Singapore, welcomed Choe's announcement and expressed hope that the resumed talks would result in "substantial progress" in denuclearisation and stabilization of peace.Under the high-stakes diplomacy between Trump and Kim, which has been driven chiefly by the personalities of the leaders rather than an established diplomatic process, working-level meetings have been useful for fleshing out the logistics of summits but unproductive in hammering out the details of a nuclear deal that has eluded the countries for decades.The stalemate of past months has revealed fundamental differences between the two sides. North Korea says it will never unilaterally surrender its nuclear weapons and missiles and insists that US-led sanctions against it should be lifted first before any progress in negotiations.The Trump administration has vowed to maintain robust economic pressure until the North takes real steps toward fully and verifiably relinquishing its nuclear program.Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said progress in working-level negotiations would depend on several factors, including whether Kim empowers his officials to negotiate concrete steps and whether the Trump administration embraces "a phased approach where summits and sanctions relief must be earned, butdenuclearisation is not decided all at once."There are doubts about whether Kim would ever voluntarily deal away an arsenal that he may see as his strongest guarantee of survival.In his first public appearance since his departure from the White House, Bolton on Monday gave a characteristically pessimistic outlook on the prospects for nuclear negotiations with the North and challenged Trump's foreign policy without directly mentioning the president.At a forum in Washington hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Bolton said Kim has made a "strategic decision" to do whatever he can to keep his country's nuclear weapons and that is an "unacceptable" threat to the world."Under current circumstances, he will never give up nuclear weapons voluntarily," Bolton said. "This is a government that has essentially violated every international agreement it has ever made."After their Singapore summit in June 2018, Trump and Kim issued a vague statement calling for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula without describing how or when it would occur.The lack of substance and fruitless working-level talks set up the failure in Hanoi, which the Americans blamed on what they said were excessive North Korean demands for sanctions relief in exchange for dismantling an aging nuclear facility in Yongbyon. Trump and Kim met for the third time at the inter-Korean border on June 30 and agreed that working-level talks between the countries should resume.

Don't impair the integrity of the UPSC exam system

It is also not clear what is meant by 'our cultural practices'. Do these words refer to the culture of the different religious communities, or states and regions, or to Indian culture as a collective entity? It would have been better, in that case, to have used the word 'Indian culture' instead of 'our culture'. Indeed, other questions relating to culture in the same question paper do not cause these difficulties in interpretation for they are not obtuse in referring to the culture involved. Secularism, as defined in the Indian context, denotes equal respect for all religions. It is this concept that enjoins the State not to discriminate against any person on the basis of faith. The mainstream of Indian cultural traditions flowing from ancient times has always carried the belief that freedom of faith cannot be denied to any person. Secularism cannot, therefore, per se pose a challenge to Indian cultural traditions. The public culture of the Indian Republic has largely drawn inspiration from the country's past. Its symbols go back to that period as illustrated by the dharmachakra, the Sarnath lions, and the national motto (Satyameva Jayate). The practice of lighting the lamp, and even bhoomi puja, has found no serious critics. Certainly, no one seems to have seriously invoked secularism per se, or in name, to denounce all or any of this. Hence, where are the challenges to our cultural practices from secularism? The commission conducts numerous competitive examinations in accordance with its mandate specified in Article 320 (1) of the Constitution. It does so year on year, impartially, soberly and conscientiously, without any leakage of question papers. Clearly, it has an excellent system in place that enables it to maintain secrecy; nothing should ever be done to impair the integrity of the processes and procedures set by this system. At the same time, the commission has to take ownership of the questions posed to candidates. The UPSC cannot shrug off the responsibility of even one poor question or a question that gives rise to concerns in any section of the public. Like any other institution, it is accountable to the people through Parliament. And, like any other institution, it must find ways of addressing legitimate popular concerns. If it ignores these matters, it will dent its well-deserved reputation. Thus, in this case, the UPSC must, at an appropriate time and in an appropriate manner, set at rest the misgivings that this question has raised about its intent. The commission also needs to evolve systems to conduct appraisals of question papers, perhaps as post-mortem exercises to examine if the examinations are bringing out the qualities needed in candidates it recommends for selection to different services and posts. While doing so it must ask itself if it wants to put a premium on speed. The current focus, at least in the general studies section of the civil services examination, seems to be on speed as can be seen in the number of questions that candidates has to answer. For instance, in the general studies paper in which this question on secularism was included, 20 questions had to be answered in 4,000 words (some in 150 words while others in 250 words) in a period of three hours. Thus, on an average, a candidate had between seven to nine minutes to write an answer. It is difficult to envisage that a candidate would have sufficient time to consider all the implications of a question, especially one worded as the one on secularism and cogently respond. Is it because of this emphasis on speed that candidates generally attend coaching centres where they are trained how to crack the examination system through the retention of copious information and reproducing it rapidly? At least this seems to the case for the civil services main examination's general studies portion. Notwithstanding the challenges to 'our cultural practices' in the name of secularism, question 5 in the general studies paper 2 this year asked candidates: 'What can France learn from the Indian Constitution's approach to secularism?' After all, there is some merit in Indian secularism, which provides for a plural society.

We as a nation are practitioners of unspeakable things

Presently, the field was seeded with mustard and cauliflower. It was kites and vultures hovering overhead that caught the stench and blew the cover on the crime.We are the practitioners of unspeakable things.Returning home one evening last month - to a precinct of Gurgaon, the 'millennium city' - I heard the destitute wailing of a man. It came from the belly of a jagged circumference of folks, arranged as though riveted on a snake charmer's tricks. There was, instead, an auto-rickshaw with a shattered windshield. There were two youngsters in shorts and Ts, their limbs gym-toned to envy, their forearms and biceps copiously tattooed. They stood over a man sprawled in the dirt, bleeding. The wails came from him. They were taking turns to pummel him, a burst of fists, then a knock of the knee. One would retreat to a gleaming motorbike parked to one side, wipe his arms and watch. The other would take over. The auto-driver was a bag, a yowling, bleeding bag. Nobody said a word. Nobody moved. This was a spectacle unfolding, cold, focused violence. The boys looked nowhere but at their victim; this is how it is best done, a blood ritual, with singular attention. There was nothing to suggest they would heed or halt. But one of them I was able to persuade to tell me the reason for their gory enactment. He took me to his bike and motioned to a splash of mud. It had rained. There was slush on the roadsides. The auto-driver had driven past with a spray of muck. It had landed on the boys' bike; a few specks had also strayed onto the pillion's shins. Therefore. "Don't mess with these boys," one from the crowd cautioned me, pulling me by the arm, "They are known goondas, they have backing, they will come back and touch you later." Those words: they have backing. They will come back and touch you. The police, if it arrives or acts, will arrive and act later. By then, the boys will have "touched" you.We are the practitioners of unspeakable things.A girl complains of serial sexual abuse by a charlatan who is also a well-connected political thug masquerading as a sanyasi. The thug first takes ill and has himself wheeled into an air-conditioned hospital chamber. From there he manipulates power levers to have the girl arrested for extortion. Her father is warned of consequences if he speaks out. Another young victim of rape. Another thug from the same gang. The girl loses her father, then gets smashed by a truck on a highway, loses her aunt and ends up precariously injured in hospital.Videographed ceremonies are carried out by monsters of their primitive headhunting - fellow humans cursed, humiliated, kicked about, slapped, knived, killed. Those monsters are then either draped in the national flag or garlanded in the name of a Mata whose provenance is at best ambiguous and whose blessings for such savagery have nowhere been explicitly or implicitly cited.Photographs have floated up of a certain Ratan Biswas, his ribs pressed hard against the membranes of his flesh, his skeletal wrist chained to an iron bed, his expression drained of the last dregs of hope. He is in detention in Assam for the alleged crime of not belonging, a prisoner of our collective prejudice. We plan to put many more where we have dumped Ratan, in huge facilities we have designated camps but where our unwanted human beings will be penned like livestock, like cows that have ceased to bear milk or offspring. But we've already created the blueprint for such a human pen, have we not? It is the heaven called Kashmir, where we have driven the clamps on eight million people we call our own. For close to two months now, they have not been allowed the common courtesy of free communication with each other or the outside world. Their movements have been restricted, for the better part frozen. They live razor-wired and bayoneted. They have been stripped of political stature and personal dignity. They have been forbidden expression. They have been forbidden protest. They have been turned into an agency of dictation. They have been told it is bad manners to complain; you're alive, be thankful. They have been interned sans allegation, imprisoned at home or thrown into faraway cells. On occasion, their dare has been brutally pelleted. But nobody has been hit by a bullet above the chest, we have been assured on good authority; what would we do for the lack of such favour? We are told they are happy. The sense of siege is the figment of a "few minds". What is being done is for their best; this persecution will teach them a lesson they long deserved to learn, they will emerge better citizens from it. We love Kashmiris, we should hug each Kashmiri. Conditions apply. Abominable conditions.We are the practitioners of unspeakable things.Last week, two Dalit children were beaten to death by villagers for defecating in the open. Their family had been denied toilet facilities by the panchayat, and so they went out. And paid. We have been told we are already an open-defecation-free nation. But we are routinely told lies. Those kids were done to death. There is another way of looking at how this works. You die defecating, you may also die clearing defecation. Fifty people died trying to clear the waste excreted by our bodies in the first half of this year, consumed by noxious sewer gases, hydrogen sulphide in the main. In 'Swachh Bharat', 740078 households still require manual removal of human filth each day; 182505 families in rural India earn their livelihoods yoked to daily manual scavenging. This nation stinks.Someone just got awarded a high-voltage global honour for a slogan that our filthy reality daily mocks; it must by worn, if at all, as a badge in memory of those who are still dying trying to put away what we daily excrete. That same someone is also sought to be supplanted on this nation as paterfamilias, dislodging the noble one whose 150th anniversary it happens to be today.Happy Birthday Bapu, We remain, Yours ruefully, The Practitioners of Unspeakable Things DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Will BS Yediyurappa have the last laugh as Siddu, HDK bicker?

But come December and all eyes will be on it for another reason as the Congress battles it out with the Janata Dal (S) to win the Vokkaliga vote, which will decide the outcome of the bypoll in Hunsur assembly constituency. While bypolls are scheduled for 15 assembly constituencies in all with their MLAs- 12 Congress and three JD(S) - resigning to bring down the Kumaraswamy government in July, Hunsur in Mysuru district and K R Pete in Mandya district will likely matter the most to both former Chief Ministers Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy, as their parties have a strong presence in these parts and will directly engage in a contest to win these seats. Although the Vokkaligas are strong in Chikkaballapur and Mahalakshmi layout in Bengaluru too, the battle is not a straightforward one between the Congress and JD(S) in these constituencies as the BJP is a looming threat to them here, making it a three-cornered contest. As far as the Lingayat dominated constituencies of North Karnataka are concerned, its a different story altogether as the BJP is in a stronger position in the region and will battle mainly with the Congress to win these seats. The bypolls are crucial for the survival of the B S Yediyurappa government, which wrested power from the JD(S)-Congress coalition with the help of the 17 Congress and JD(S) MLAs, who resigned to deprive it of a majority. While the Election Commission has announced bypolls to 15 seats that have fallen vacant with their resignations, it has held them back for Maski in Raichur and R R Nagar in Bengaluru where the defeated candidates of the 2018 assembly poll have gone to court challenging the election of the legislators, who later resigned. The former MLAs, who helped the BJP government come to power in the state, are, however, facing an uncertain future at present with the former Speaker disqualifying them. Their fate now remains in the hands of the Supreme Court where they have challenged their disqualification, but they seem upbeat about winning the case and contesting the coming byelections on a BJP ticket. While Hunsur and K R Pete have a huge number of Vokkaliga voters, a victory for the Congress or the JD(S) in either has become uncertain with the former coalition partners seeming no longer on friendly terms with Mr Siddaramaiah publicly feuding with the father-son duo of H D Deve Gowda and Kumaraswmay. Moreover, the former JD(S) Chief Minister appears to be cosying to the BJP, making its chances of winning in both constituencies stronger, although it has little base of its own in them. The saffron party is expected to field disqualified Hunsur MLA, veteran politician, A H Vishwanath, who quit to back it in July. Having spent decades with the Congress, the Kuruba leader joined the JD(S), unhappy with his treatment by his old party, more specifically, the then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on the eve of the 2018 poll. The sympathy factor and the Vokkaligas of the constituency saw him romp home to victory on a JD(S) ticket. It was said even at the time that a section of BJP workers worked for his win as the saffron party didn't want the sitting Congress MLA, Manjunath, a Siddaramaiah loyalist to win. Although with Mr Vishwanath all set to join the BJP, Mr Siddaramaiah is now more determind than ever to work for a Congress win in the constituency, and has not spared him in his campaign, he may have an uphill battle on his hands . The Congress leader has even gone so far as to unofficially declare Mr Manjunath as the party candidate in the coming bypoll without waiting for the high command to announce it, but it's believed that the sudden change of heart that Mr Kumaraswamy seems to be having now on the BJP could work to Mr Vishwanath's advantage. Says Mr Abdul Pasha, a sawmill owner in the town, "It would have been difficult for Vishwanath if the JD(S) had fielded its candidate in the constituency, but with Kumaraswamy hobnobbing with the BJP it could be easier for him. However, a lot depends on Siddaramaiah, who is working hard to defeat him." Disagreeing, Mr Siddesh, an owner of a provision store in the town, says Mr Vishwanath lost the confidence of the people when he switched his party loyalty for a second time recently. ' The people voted for him as a JD(S) candidate and certainly don't agree with him resigning mid- way and imposing a mid- term poll on Hunsur. What's the guarantee that he will not shift his loyalty to another party?' he asks. Although Mr Vishwanath will have to once again depend on the sympathy factor and BJP support to win from Hunsur, a lot will depend on the JD(S), which could bolster his chances by fielding a weak candidate from the constituency. Meanwhile there is also some amount of uncertainty on his contesting the bypoll at all as he had declared that the 2018 assembly poll would be his last electoral battle. In K R Pete, the Congress and JD(S) had decided to take on the BJP together, but here too things have changed over the last week with Mr Kumaraswamy cosying up to the Lotus party. Till recently he appeared to be seething with anger against the party which dislodged him from power, but now he seems to have gone soft on it. It is no secret that the charisma and influence of JD(S) supremo, Deve Gowda played an important role in the victory of party candidate, Narayana Gowda in the 2013 and 2018 assembly elections from the constituency. The Congress , which was washed out in the last assembly poll here, didn't bother to campaign wholeheartedly here during the Lok Sabha election, which saw Mr Kumaraswamy's son, Nikhil, contest as a joint candidate of the coalition. But in the changed political scenario, people of the constituency seem uncertain about who the JD(S) will support, admits Mr Krishna Gowda, a taluk panchayat member. The BJP toyed with the idea of making disqualified K R Pete MLA, Narayana Gowda an MLC and fielding the Chief Minister's son, B Y Vijayendra, in the bypoll, but dropped the idea after the former refused the offer of nomination to the Upper House. The Congress, meanwhile, has no choice but to field Mr Suresh Gowda to take on another Vokkaliga leader. 'If Narayana Gowda is fielded in the bypoll by the BJP, he could win if he gets the blessings of Kumaraswamy and his supporters,' says Mr Ramesh Gowda, a local BJP functionary. But the saffron party may still be on a winning ground even if it fails to win these seats or others in the coming bypolls as the JD(S) is increasingly making it clear that it could be open to supporting the BJP government from outside if the Congress corners a larger share of seats in the December byelections. This in sum could mean that Chief Minister Yediyurappa could have the last laugh as Mr Kumaraswamy and Mr Siddaramaiah continue their squabbling. ...

You don't have to be a strong parent all the time: Anavila Misra

An intensely private, highly celebrated entity on the fashion circuit, Anavila is also busy bringing up Rudra with her husband, Shivam. Excerpts from a conversation: Yes, it is (smiles). In fact, Shivam loved the name, while I chose 'Aditya'. Both of us held our ground for a year. Can you believe it, our kid had no name for a year! By that time my sister had teasingly started calling her nephew 'jadoo', 'chiriya'…So I relented. Rudra it is. Well, Rudra turns 13 in a few weeks, and I make sure I am clued into what he is doing now, whom he is spending time with as this is a very crucial age for children and everything carries impact. Shararat actress Shruti Seth is seeking therapy to be a better parent I dispatch him to school on the bus at 6:50 am and he returns by 4 pm. I ensure I am at home then. So for all purposes, I am a homemaker, for him, as my work hours are carefully worked around his schedule. Now, yes, sometimes. See, he is very naughty, like I was as a kid, and so was Shivam. Earlier, I used to lose my cool but then I understood that some of the antics stemmed from him being a single child seeking my constant attention . If I become angry, then he turns obstinate. I have to explain things to him and reason it out. He is emotionally sensitive, like me. We keep talking and his apprehensions spill out then. Like he saw someone kick a stray dog the other day and that upset him tremendously. He shared that with me. Yes, I do. He is an anchored child. We celebrated the anniversary of my store a couple of weeks back and he asked if he could invite a couple of his friends too; I agreed. Actress Deepti Naval was here and he was chatting with her comfortably for an hour. She commented how uncommon it was to experience an enervating conversation with a child his age, that too without gadgets! Very. He observes me in my interviews, comments on my mannerisms and offers his advice. For the last two fashion weeks, I made sure he attended my shows. The first show he sat for, I couldn't see him owing to the lights, in the audience. He was very hurt. But the second time around I placed him. He was thrilled. He observes me addressing everyone at press conferences. He comments on how he wants to better my website, champions originality, and he even filled in details quickly as got me the prized 'blue tick' by authenticating my social media accounts, all while I kept arguing with him that it wasn't that simple. Rudra is very creative and clued in. Of course, my largesse! I keep reminding him that we need to be kind, and share with others. Also, he isn't very happy about me growing old and not colouring my hair anymore. Rudra is an old soul, deeply knitted to his grandparents, and their growing old and frail with age is something that he finds a little disconcerting too. I wake him up every day, cuddle up for 20 minutes to get him slowly out of bed and ready him for school. My mother laughs that he lingers when I am around and when I am not, he gets ready at cracking speed! Shivam travels aplenty, so I end up spending more time with Rudra. One of us is always around; we plan our work accordingly. Rudra and I go running, cycling, walking. I never enjoyed cooking earlier. Now I make an effort to look up recipes, and enjoy cooking for him. We were in Paris recently and Shivam came down to take us around to the car manufacturing plants through Germany too, as Rudra is crazy about cars. I travelled to Kolkata when I was pregnant. Since his early days he has moved around with me, spending time in the homes of my weavers in Kolkata, playing with the goats, soaking up local dialects. Earlier, I had a few female weavers from Jharkand staying with me in Mumbai at my duplex when my studio was at home, so he has been observing the making of weaves and stitches, speaks the local language they converse in. He is curious yet involved in my work. He is aware and completely in sync with a humble environment. That is the best learning I could have given him. There is no wastage of food at home, each blank surface of paper is utilised sensibly, he leans towards making his own 'nimbupani' with great pride. We reuse clothes, making dusters out of old, faded pieces; many tiny things go into the making of our perspectives. That he is not competitive. Rudra is happy with the success of others around, which we are too, but I feel I will have to prod him to be a bit of a go-getter. Being a parent is a huge responsibility. You need to be clear that you want to have a child, else you will be venting your frustration on your children. Also, you don't need to be a strong parent all the time. Rudra knows my struggles, anxieties….I have broken down in front of him. I feel this has made him stronger as he is always a part of problem-solving at home. Isn't this sensibility what we want to leave our young ones with, eventually? As parents we need to be content and happy, and give the same to our children. It is an organic osmosis. Perseverance. How never to give up, keep at it till you succeed. If you work hard you can achieve anything you want in life. I have always believed that and hope that Rudra imbibes it too.
