| Hong Kong leader refuses to give ground after poll setback - Virden Empire Advance Posted: 25 Nov 2019 09:08 PM PST  Hong Kong's embattled leader Carrie Lam refused to offer any concessions to anti-government protesters despite a local election trouncing, saying Tuesday that she will instead accelerate dialogue and identify ways to address societal grievances. Lam said the central government in Beijing didn't blame her for the election outcome that gave the pro-democracy bloc a landslide victory with 90 per cent of seats and control of 17 out of 18 district councils. Trending StoriesNearly 3 million voters cast their ballot in a record turnout for an election that was viewed as a barometer of public support for more than five months of pro-democracy protests. The government's refusal to compromise despite the election outcome could spark fresh unrest at a time when the semi-autonomous Chinese territory has plunged into its first recession in a decade. Lam said Sunday's election may have reflected unhappiness with the government handling of the unrest but it also showed that many people want a stop to violence. "Let me just stress that after these five-six months, Hong Kong people have realized very clearly that Hong Kong could no longer tolerate this chaotic situation," Lam said at her weekly news conference. "Please help us to maintain the relative calm and peace that we have seen in the last week or so and provide a good basis for Hong Kong to move forward." In early September when she withdrew an extradition bill that sparked the protests, Lam said she had also given a detailed response to protesters' other demands including free elections for the city's leader and legislature, as well as a probe into accusations of police brutality. She said the government hopes to take advantage of the current lull in violence to accelerate public dialogue and set up an independent review committee to find solutions to deep-seated societal issues. "The next step to go forward is really, as you have put it, to engage the people. And we have started public dialogue with the community," Lam said. "But unfortunately, with the unstable environment and a chaotic situation, I could not do more on that sort of engagement. I hope that the environment will allow me to do it now." Some pro-establishment figures have pointed fingers at Lam for their loss, while the pro-democracy camp has asked her to step down. Protesters saw the extradition bill as an the erosion of their rights promised when the former British colony returned to Chinese control in 1997. The demonstrations have since expanded into a protest over what they see as Beijing's growing interference in the city. Some analysts said China's ruling party isn't likely to soften its stand on Hong Kong. Chinese media has muted reports on the poll outcome, focusing instead on how pro-Beijing candidates were harassed and the need to restore law and order. Beijing is treading cautiously partly to avoid jeopardizing trade talks with the United States. It also faces pressure from planned U.S. legislation that could derail Hong Kong's special trade status and sanction Hong Kong and China officials found to violate human rights. China's foreign ministry on Monday summoned U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad for a second time to demand Washington block the bipartisan legislation on Hong Kong. Chinese Vice Minister Zheng Zeguang warned the U.S. would "bear all the consequences that arise" if the bill came into law. President Donald Trump has not committed to signing the bill and has 10 days from the time of passage last week to veto it. If he does not do so, it automatically becomes law while Congress could also override a veto with a two-thirds majority in both houses. In a boost to the city, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange Tuesday, rising nearly 7 per cent in a strong before losing most of its gains later morning. Alibaba's share sale of at least $11.3 billion in its secondary listing is the world's biggest this year.

| Chinese state councilor meets Japanese officials on bilateral ties - CGTN Posted: 25 Nov 2019 08:48 PM PST In a meeting with Japan's Land and Transport Minister Kazuyoshi Akaba, Wang said it is hoped that the launch of the mechanism will encourage more people of the two countries to participate in cultural and people-to-people exchanges. "The Komeito Party you are in has long been committed to China-Japan friendship and it is hoped that the party will continue to adhere to this concept, keep China-Japan relations in the right direction, maintain the political foundation of bilateral relations, play an important role in improving the feelings between the two peoples and make new contributions," Wang said to Akaba. Akaba said that cultural and people-to-people exchanges are of irreplaceable significance in enhancing the mutual understanding between the two peoples. It is hoped that the two sides will vigorously expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation in tourism, youth and other fields, and realize the goal of cultural and people-to-people exchanges set at the first meeting of the mechanism earlier on Monday, he said.

Nikai said that as Japan-China relations show a sound momentum of improvement and development, both sides should make up their minds to make joint efforts to push bilateral relations to a higher level.

| SC ruling can change game - India Today Posted: 25 Nov 2019 08:33 PM PST  The legal battle over the floor test for power in Maharashtra will come to an end on Tuesday as the special bench of the Supreme Court will pass its judgment on the plea by the Sena-NCP-Congress combine. After a special hearing on Sunday, the special bench of Justices - NV Ramana, Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna - heard the detailed argument on Monday. Denying allegations of "bias and malafide" raised by the allied parties, the office of the Governor of Maharashtra told the court that his decision was based on the signed letter of support given by NCP leader Ajit Pawar. "The issue to be considered is whether the court can substitute the decision taken by the governor," argued Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Governor's office. Mehta informed the court that the letter sent by Devendra Fadnavis to Governor BS Koshyari on Friday (November 22) included a letter of support by the NCP legislative party leader, Ajit. The letter, as read out by Mehta, notes that Fadnavis, as leader of the BJP, had support of 105 BJP MLAs, 11 Independent and 54 NCP MLAs. "The Governor noted that Fadnavis has shown support of 170 MLAs. Governor in his wisdom invited the largest party to form the government. He does not have to go into a fishing inquiry. He could not have any other information, when leader of a party has given letter," said the SG. Attacking the allegations of the combine, Mehta also justified the decision of the Governor to not hold an immediate floor test. "The court is being told about possible horse-trading but in this case the Governor thought maybe the whole stable has been stolen" the SG argued, saying that while the Governor was aware that "there is some sort of welding going on outside", no communication was sent to him about the combine staking claim to government. When Justice Khanna pointed out that precedent cases show that orders were passed to hold floor test in 24 hours, the SG argued that such an order would be "constitutionally barred". "That's the Governor's decision. Can the court decide what agenda will be taken in the house? Constitutionally it is barred. Court can't monitor proceedings inside the house," argued the SG. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for CM-elect Fadnavis on Monday, said that the Governor had "given 14 days to prove majority". Meanwhile, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Shiv Sena, told the court that the actions of the Governor and the Centre were "obviously malafide". AM Singhvi, representing the NCP, also told court that the signatures submitted by Ajit were "incorrect" as the party had not passed any resolution. "We have given a letter to the Governor yesterday saying that Ajit Pawar has been removed from post of CLP leader. The letter does not have a covering letter. I have signed affidavits from 48 MLAs saying we don't support Ajit Pawar," Singhvi told court. Sibal also called out the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and the Governor over the timing of withdrawing the President's rule, and the oath taking of Fadnavis and Ajit.

| Ex-White House counsel Don McGahn must appear before Congress for testimony, judge says - CNBC Posted: 25 Nov 2019 08:03 PM PST  Former White House counsel Don McGahn must comply with a subpoena to testify before Congress, a federal judge ruled Monday in a decision that already faces an appeal by the Department of Justice. The case stemmed from an August lawsuit filed against McGahn by the House Judiciary Committee. The committee issued a subpoena to McGahn in April, seeking his testimony on matters related to former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. Trump administration lawyers responded that McGahn is "immune" from being compelled to testify. But U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed. "It is clear to this Court," Jackson said of the ruling in Washington, D.C., federal court, "that, with respect to senior-level presidential aides, absolute immunity from compelled congressional process simply does not exist." McGahn's attorney, William Burck, told CNBC in a statement Monday evening that his client "will comply with Judge Jackson's decision unless it is stayed pending appeal." Minutes later, Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec confirmed to CNBC that the agency will appeal the ruling and seek to halt it from taking effect in the meantime. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed in a statement that Jackson's ruling "contradicts longstanding legal precedent established by administrations of both political parties." "We will appeal and are confident that the important constitutional principle advanced by the administration will be vindicated," Grisham said. Though the case predates the focus of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, the ruling was expected to have implications on that investigation, as a test of Congress's powers to compel witness testimony from those who have worked in the executive branch. One such potential witness, former national security advisor John Bolton, has said that he will not testify unless a court orders him to do so. One of his deputies, Charles Kupperman, filed a lawsuit in October asking a different federal judge whether he must comply with a congressional subpoena to testify to impeachment investigators. Kupperman and Bolton share a lawyer, and the outcome of Kupperman's suit could determine whether Bolton testifies. House Democrats have sought to dismiss Kupperman's lawsuit, fearing delays could stymie the momentum of their investigation. In November, the leaders of the impeachment investigation withdrew the Kupperman subpoena and urged him instead to be "guided" by the outcome of the McGahn case. Though he has not testified, Bolton has emerged repeatedly in the recollections of other witnesses as a potentially instrumental witness for Democrats. The former National Security Council official Fiona Hill testified last week that Bolton was concerned by the actions of U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland, White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and others. Hill testified last week that Bolton told her to go to the lawyers for the National Security Council to tell them that he was "not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney were cooking up," Hill said. Bolton has signaled that he holds little sympathy for the White House. On Friday, he accused the administration of locking him out of his Twitter account, questioning whether the move was due to "fear of what I may say." Trump denied that he had Bolton's account locked. McGahn, the most prominent figure in Mueller's report, was supposed to testify before the committee about events examined by the former FBI director's investigation in May. A day before his testimony was scheduled to take place, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., saying that McGahn was "absolutely immune from compelled congressional testimony." The Judiciary Committee argued that such blanket immunity was not lawful and ran afoul of the Constitution's separation of powers. In court papers, the committee also argued that McGahn's testimony would be crucial to the committee's "decision whether to recommend articles of impeachment." Nadler said in a statement Monday night that he expects McGahn "to follow his legal obligations and promptly appear before the Committee."

| Sena-NCP-Cong to 'parade' 162 MLAs in Mumbai hotel - Deccan Herald Posted: 25 Nov 2019 07:23 PM PST  The Shiv Sena, the NCP, and the Congress will "parade" 162 MLAs in a five-star hotel in Mumbai on Monday evening as a proof of their combined strength in the 288-member Assembly, senior Sena leader Sanjay Raut said. Announcing the move on his tweeter handle, Raut appealed to state Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to witness the "parading" of the legislators of the three parties. "We are all one and together, watch our 162 together for the first time at Grand Hyatt at 7 pm, come and watch yourself @maha_governor. He tagged the official twitter handle @maha_governor of the Governor. "The idea is to turn the public perception towards us. Once we parade 162 MLAs in one hall, the entire nation will come to know that BJP is playing a dirty game in Maharashtra by misusing office of the governor," said an NCP leader. The MLAs of the Sena, the NCP, and the Congress are currently staying at different hotels in Mumbai.

| Score at 162, alliance throws down the gauntlet to BJP - Deccan Herald Posted: 25 Nov 2019 07:18 PM PST  The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine staged a show of strength on Monday evening at a 5-star hotel in Mumbai, hours after they staked claim to form the government, and a day before the keenly awaited ruling of the Supreme Court on the political crisis. The event, a first in the state, was organised as an open challenge to Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, who too claimed to have the numbers. Titled "Amhi 162" (We Are 162), it was witnessed by NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray and Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge and also included a pledge. "There would not be any problem in proving majority," Pawar said. "A government was formed in Maharashtra without a majority. The BJP didn't have a majority anywhere but formed governments in Karnataka, Goa and Manipur. But this is Maharashtra." Uddhav, who is likely to be the CM if Fadnavis falls, said that the alliance is not hungry for power. "We will stick to 'Satyamev Jayate'. We are followers of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj," he said. Taking a dig at Fadnavis, he said: "I will not say 'I will come again'. 'We have already come'," the Sena president said. Senior Congressman Ashok Chavan thanked party president Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for allowing the Maharashtra unit to enter this alliance. "We are more than 162, not just 162," he said. The BJP termed the event a "cruel joke". "How can you have an identification parade of lawmakers like criminals," asked BJP spokesperson Ashish Shelar. "The three parties 'paraded' 162 MLAs, but do they really have the support of 145 legislators," Shelar sought to know. Visit to Raj Bhavan Earlier in the day, top leaders of three parties visited Raj Bhavan and submitted a letter along with a list of 162 MLAs. Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, was, however, not in Mumbai, and the letter was handed over to his secretary. "Once Fadnavis fails to prove his majority during the floor test, the Shiv Sena's claim for government formation should be considered," the parties said in the letter. "We have submitted a list of 162 members," NCP legislature party leader Jayant Patil said. He also said the common minimum programme of the three parties is also ready. On Sunday evening, the BJP tasked four veterans - Narayan Rane, Ganesh Naik, Babanrao Pachpute and Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil - to garner the support of rival group MLAs. Pawar, who was in Karad in the morning, said joining hands with the BJP was Ajit's personal decision. "We have the numbers," he said.

| Posted: 25 Nov 2019 07:08 PM PST  Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump at the G-20 Summit in Osaka on June 29, 2019. Brendan Smialowsi | AFP | Getty Images The leaders of the U.S.-China trade negotiations held another phone call on Tuesday morning, China's Ministry of Commerce said in an online statement. "Both sides discussed resolving core issues of common concern, reached consensus on how to resolve related problems (and) agreed to stay in contact over remaining issues for a phase one agreement," the Chinese-language statement said, according to a CNBC translation. Liu He, China's top negotiator on trade, spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the statement said. Also joining the call were Chinese Commerce Minister Zhong Shan, People's Bank of China Governor Yi Gang and Ning Jizhe, vice chairman of China's top economic planning body, the National Development and Reform Commission, according to the Commerce Ministry. Trade tensions between the world's two largest economies have persisted for more than a year, with both countries applying tariffs to billions of dollars' worth of goods from the other. Rather than address at once all the points of U.S. complaints — which range from bilateral trade to China's state-dominated economic structure — both sides are first trying to reach a so-called "phase one" agreement. China has said any such deal will require a rollback of tariffs, while the U.S. would like to ensure that Beijing will increase its purchases of American agricultural products. On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping told a U.S. business delegation visiting Beijing that China wants "to work for a phase one agreement on the basis of mutual respect and equality," according to an Associated Press report. Xi also said China holds a "positive attitude" toward the trade talks, the report said. "When necessary we will fight back but we have been working actively to try not to have a trade war." President Donald Trump on Friday said on the television program "Fox and Friends" that a long-negotiated trade deal with China is "potentially very close."

| Posted: 25 Nov 2019 06:54 PM PST  Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during the "The Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy" panel discussion hosted by the Swiss Institute of International Studies at the University of Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland September 6, 2019. Arnd Wiegmann | Reuters Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that interest rates are unlikely to rise anytime soon, saying Monday that the central bank remains firmly committed to meeting its inflation goals. The Fed considers a 2% inflation rate to be a signal of sustainable growth and a level that keeps interest rates high enough to allow for mobility in the event of an economic downturn. However, inflation has run well below that level for 2019 despite three interest rate cuts over the past four months. As part of a speech he delivered in Providence, Rhode Island, Powell expressed a sense of urgency in meeting the inflation part of the Fed's dual mandate. He said low inflation expectations feed on themselves and make it tougher for the Fed to support the economy. The chairman said in prepared remarks that "it is essential that we at the Fed use our tools to make sure that we do not permit an unhealthy downward drift in inflation expectations and inflation. We are strongly committed to symmetrically and sustainably achieving our 2 percent inflation objective so that in making long-term plans, households and businesses can reasonably expect 2 percent inflation over time." A symmetric goal means policymakers would be content with inflation running a little above or below the 2% level. Other Fed officials have said that a period of time above 2% would be fine, with some members suggesting the Fed make an express commitment not to raise rates until the goal is met. Higher rates are used to keep inflation low. Focus on the labor marketBroadly speaking, Powell repeated language he and other officials have used lately, saying he sees "the current stance of monetary policy as likely to remain appropriate" and "well positioned" so long as current "generally good" conditions persist. The Federal Open Market Committee at its October meeting cut its benchmark rate another quarter point to a range targeted at 1.5%-1.75%. "At this point in the long expansion, I see the glass as much more than half full. With the right policies, we can fill it further, building on the gains so far and spreading the benefits more broadly to all Americans," he said. In addition to the inflation commitment, Powell also elaborated on another issue that has gained more attention in recent days, namely the still-low labor force participation rate in the U.S. as well as the fairly muted wage gains. While the current labor force participation level is 63.3%, the highest in more than six years, Powell said it still is low compared to other countries and is another area of focus the Fed could use to ensure that the benefits of the decade-long recovery are spread more evenly. The pre-recession participation rate was above 66%. Powell said the Fed can help the participation and wage issues "by steadfastly pursuing our goals of maximum employment and price stability" though he said broader programs to support higher wages and a more engaged labor force are "beyond the scope of monetary policy" and more suited to legislators in Congress.

| GLOBAL MARKETS-Asia shares regain footing as mood swings on trade - Reuters UK Posted: 25 Nov 2019 06:48 PM PST * Asian stock markets : tmsnrt.rs/2zpUAr4 * Shares ex-Japan recoup last week's losses * U.S. officials continue to sound optimistic on trade * Pro-democracy candidates sweep to power in HK vote * Dollar benefits as U.S. economy outperforms By Wayne Cole SYDNEY, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Asian shares made guarded gains on Monday as investors dared to hope for some progress in the endless Sino-U.S. trade dispute, while the outperformance of recent U.S. economic data gave the dollar a leg up on its peers. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan bounced 0.8%, after losing 0.4% last week. Japan's Nikkei firmed 0.9%, while Australian stocks rose 0.5% and Shanghai blue chips 0.4%. E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 added 0.3%, while EUROSTOXX 50 futures gained 0.6%. On Saturday, U.S. national security adviser Robert O'Brien said an initial trade agreement with China is still possible by the end of the year, though he warned Washington would not turn a blind eye to what happens in Hong Kong. The comments add to worries that a Chinese crackdown on anti-government protests in Hong Kong could further complicate the talks. Over the weekend, pro-democracy candidates in Hong Kong romped to a landslide and symbolic majority in district council elections in the embattled city. "Markets are showing some signs of tiring of the steady drip feed of upbeat comments from U.S. officials and no signs of a final agreement looking likely," said Robert Rennie, head of financial market strategy at Westpac. He noted six weeks had passed since the "phase-one" deal was agreed in principle yet there was still no deal in place. "Key for markets will thus be whether the Dec. 15 tariffs covering approximately $156 billion of largely technology imports are postponed and whether a deal can be signed ahead of that date, with press suggesting that these tariffs will be delayed to give negotiators more time." Reuters reported an ambitious "phase two" trade deal was also looking less likely, according to U.S. and Beijing officials, lawmakers and trade experts. 'LEAST DIRTY'In currency markets, the dollar had rallied on Friday when U.S. manufacturing surveys beat forecasts, just as European Union numbers disappointed. "U.S. economic data outperformed, highlighting again the resilience of the economy and that while global growth has slowed, it remains the least dirty t-shirt in the laundry basket," said Tapas Strickland, a director of economics and markets at National Australia Bank. "For the EU data, the important takeaway was the ongoing decline in the manufacturing sector is now spreading to the larger services sector, a worrying sign for the global economy." European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on Friday called on euro zone governments to strengthen domestic demand after a global trade war brought a decade of export-driven growth to an abrupt end. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks later on Monday and is expected to underline the steady outlook for rates given the better economic figures. The euro was off at $1.1023 on Monday, having breached chart support at $1.1040, while the dollar edged up to 108.75 yen. The dollar was steady on a basket of currencies at 98.243 , after gaining 0.3% last week. Spot gold was flat at $1,460.74 per ounce, restrained by the bounce in the dollar. Oil prices held near two-month highs helped by expectations of an extension to OPEC+ production cuts. Brent crude futures firmed 7 cents to $63.48, while U.S. crude rose 9 cents to $57.86 a barrel.

| NCP shifts MLAs to another hotel in Mumbai - Deccan Herald Posted: 25 Nov 2019 06:13 PM PST  In a late-night development on Sunday, MLAs of the NCP were shifted from a suburban resort to another hotel in Mumbai, sources said. The MLAs travelled in a bus to a different hotel from Hotel Renaissance in Powai where they were put up since Saturday night, hours after NCP leader Ajit Pawar joined hands with the BJP in a coup and took oath as deputy chief minister. In a dramatic turn of events, Devendra Fadnavis had returned as chief minister for a second term. The exact number of the MLAs currently with the NCP could not be confirmed. The party had won 54 seats in the 288 -member House in the assembly elections. It is also learnt that MLAs of the Shiv Sena, who are staying at the Lalit Hotel near the Mumbai airport, will also be moved to another hotel. Meanwhile, independent MLA Ravi Rana, who has extended his support to the BJP, claimed the Shiv Sena will witness a "big earthquake" soon. He claimed that Fadnavis will get the support of 175 MLAs.

Earlier in the day, the supreme court issued notices to the Centre, Maharashtra government, Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar on a plea filed by the Congress-Shiv Sena-NCP combine seeking quashing of the governor's November 23 order inviting the BJP leader to form the government. Senior BJP leaders Chandrakant Patil, Vinod Tawade and Girish Mahajan attended the meeting held at the official residence of the chief minister. The apex court directed the Centre to place before it on Monday morning the letters of the governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari inviting Fadnavis and of the BJP leader staking his claim to form the government in the state. The SC also said the issue of floor test, as demanded by the Congress-NCP-Sena combine, would be dealt with on Monday only after perusing the two letters- of Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari inviting Fadnavis and of the BJP leader staking his claim to form the government- it has demanded.

| Baramati hopeful of Sharad Pawar resolving NCP crisis - Deccan Herald Posted: 25 Nov 2019 05:43 PM PST  Amid the political drama in Maharashtra with NCP's Ajit Pawar supporting the BJP to form the government, the people of Baramati, which is the bastion of Pawars, are hopeful that NCP chief Sharad Pawar will be able to resolve the current crisis in his party. Ajit Pawar, the NCP chief's nephew who won from Pune's Baramati seat in the last month's state polls with a huge victory margin of 1.65 lakh votes, on Sunday joined hands with the BJP in a coup and took oath as deputy of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. While some locals from Baramati expressed displeasure over Ajit Pawar's step, others were hopeful that Sharad Pawar would be able to handle the situation and bring his nephew back into the NCP. "The decision of Ajit Pawar is wrong but we are sure that senior (Sharad) Pawar will bring him back to the party fold," a 35-year-old local from Baramati said on condition of anonymity. Another resident of Katewadi, a village in Baramati constituency, said recently, when it was almost decided that the NCP and Congress will form government with the Shiv Sena, some locals burst firecrackers. "But, there were no celebrations on Saturday morning when Ajit Pawar took the oath as deputy chief minister by joining hands with the BJP," he said. Hours after the dramatic political developments in Mumbai on Saturday, a huge hoarding in support of Sharad Pawar came up in Baramati, but it was removed by the local civic body within a couple of hours. Though police said the banner was removed as it was put up without permission in the municipal council premises, an NCP worker said the hoarding was removed to ensure that the "split" in the Pawar family does not come out in the open. When a local was asked whom would he choose between the two Pawars,he said, "We are in a state of confusion right now, but one thing is sure that everything will be good and Ajit dada will come back to the party fold." Another Baramati resident said there might have been some reason why Ajit Pawar took such a decision. "If he has taken the decision, we are with him," he added. Another local claimed Ajit Pawar is more accessible than the NCP chief and his daughter Supriya Sule, who is the Lok Sabha member from Baramati. "It is Ajit dada who does all the work at the ground- level. He is more accessible than Pawar saheb and Supriya 'tai' (sister)," he said. Nn NCP functionary from Baramati, who is considered close to the Pawar family, said though people are confused about the current political developments, they are adopting a "wait and watch" policy rather than taking sides. Camil Parkhe, a local journalist and political analyst, said looking at the current political scenario, it is evident that there were bickerings in the Pawar family. "Even if the NCP chief was against fielding Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar from Maval in the Lok Sabha polls, Ajit Pawar insisted and got him fielded, but he (Parth) lost to a Shiv Sena candidate. This led to some sort of rift in the family." Ajit Pawar also felt he was being sidelined in the party, and that "sense of alienation" might have prompted him to take such a decision, Parkhe claimed. "Ajit Pawar was not keen on joining hands with the Shiv Sena, instead he was in favour of supporting the BJP," he added.

| Posted: 25 Nov 2019 04:53 PM PST Good night: Those were the last words K-pop singer and actress Goo Hara, 28, posted on her Instagram account last Saturday, the night before she was found dead on Sunday. Goo posted the message in Korean, with a photo of herself lying in bed, to her more than 1.5 million followers. The post has since taken on a new meaning following her death as fans offered their condolences. "Rip (Rest in peace) going to miss u a lot. Like in ur last post good night and sweet dreams. May you be in a better place," one comment read. Goo's post has amassed more than 500,000 likes as of 9 a.m. on Monday. It is as yet unclear how the South Korean singer, who had just completed a mini-tour in Japan from Nov 14 to 19, died. Seoul police said they are still investigating her death after they found her motionless in her Seoul apartment at around 6 p.m. on Sunday. Goo was a former member of K-pop girl group Kara, which she joined in 2008. The group disbanded in 2016. Earlier in November, she released a solo Japanese-language single, Midnight Queen. In May, Goo was hospitalized after a failed suicide attempt, following a public row with a former boyfriend, hairdresser Choi Jong-bum, in which each accused the other of assault. Goo also said he threatened to release sex tapes of the two of them. At the time, the singer's manager found her unconscious in her apartment after he decided to check on her, as repeated phone calls to her went unanswered. Before that, Goo posted several Instagram posts that dwelt on issues of betrayal and self-doubt. Read also: K-pop singer decries cyber bullying after death of 'activist' star Sulli One contained a messaged that said she appeared "fine on the outside, but it feels as if I am starting to break into pieces inside", while another simply read: "Goodbye." Later, days after her hospitalization, she apologized "for causing concerns and a commotion", vowing to "steel my heart and try to show up healthy". In August, a court found Choi guilty of assault and of threatening to circulate the sex video, although Choi has filed an appeal. On Monday morning, the hashtag #Punish_Choi_Jong_Bum, written in Korean, was the top trending topic on Twitter in South Korea, with fans blaming Goo's death on him. Last month, one of Goo's close friends, fellow K-pop star Sulli, was also found dead at her home, in what is now largely believed to be a case of suicide. The 25-year-old's fans, who believe that the young star was affected by online hate messages, have started a petition asking the government to mandate that netizens use their real names when they post comments. Goo, who was in Japan, had filmed an apology for missing her friend's private funeral on Instagram Live. "I'm sorry I can't go because I'm in Japan," she said. "I'm sorry that I had no other choice but to greet you like this. Live well up there, and do everything that you wanted to do. I will live hard and work hard for you." The K-pop industry has in recent years been hit by several high-profile suicides, focusing attention on its associated lack of privacy, online bullying, relentless public pressure, and ill-treatment of celebrities by management agencies. The Korean government has sought to introduce Bills to tackle cyber bullying, with The Korea Herald reporting earlier this month that some Bills have already been submitted to the National Assembly. One calls for users to reveal their online user name and IP address when posting comments on online portals such as Naver and Daum, while another wants these portals to filter out malicious comments and block people from posting them.

| Posted: 25 Nov 2019 06:45 AM PST American Music Awards: 10 things you missed, from Taylor Swift's speech to Billie Eilish's message - The Washington Post  "This year for me has been a lot. It's been a lot of good; it's been a lot of really complicated," Swift said, thanking fans as she accepted the artist of the year prize near the end of the three-hour telecast. "On behalf of my family and me, thank you so much for being there and for caring." There was no mention of Swift's highly publicized battle with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta, the owner and president, respectively, of her former record label, Big Machine Label Group. Last week, the pop superstar alleged that the executives were trying to block her from performing her older songs on the AMAs (for a medley of her decade of hits), which subsequently led to days of online chaos. Although in true Swift fashion, she may have hinted at the fight — see how below, along with nine more things you missed from the show. 1) Taylor Swift's speech and medleySwift loves a good coded message or veiled reference or symbol. Sometimes they're more obvious, such as when she won pop/rock album for "Lover," and told everyone how happy she is at her new home that is not Big Machine. "This album felt like a new beginning. And I also really love my record label, Universal and Republic," Swift said. "Monte Lipman, Lucien Grainge, thank you for being so generous to me and allowing me to make whatever music I want to make." In her note to fans about Braun and Borchetta last week, Swift referred to the pair as "men who are exercising tyrannical control" and said she felt they were telling her to "be a good little girl and shut up." Combined with the criticism lobbed at Swift over her career ("She has too many ex-boyfriends!" "She can't possibly write her own songs!"), it was no surprise she pointedly started her artist of the decade medley with "The Man," a track from her new album that takes aim at gender double standards. "I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I were a man," she sang, wearing a white shirt with the names of her albums written on them, surrounded by young girls as her backup dancers. "I'm so sick of them coming at me again — cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man." 2) Billie Eilish's message."Earlier this year my album 'Igor' was the No. 1 album in the country. And then this 17-year-old girl who dressed like a quarterback decided to change that," Tyler, the Creator, said by way of introducing Billie Eilish, who won new artist and alternative rock artist. Cut to: Eilish's literally fiery performance of "All the Good Girls Go to Hell," which looked like the everything was going up in flames — and made even more sense once you saw the message on her T-shirt, which read "NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET." No surprise she's already one of the highest-profile Gen Z voices sounding the alarm about climate change. 3) Lizzo's performance.For most televised performances so far, Lizzo has gone with the surefire audience favorites, "Truth Hurts" or "Good As Hell" or "Juice." But she changed things up for the AMAs, as she belted out the ballad "Jerome." "AMAs! I don't know where you've been and I don't know where you're going. But I know you're here right now for a special reason. Everybody put your lights up," she called out, as the crowd obediently switched on the flashlights on their phones and started waving them around. "This light represents the love you have for yourself. So shine bright!" 4) Halsey's (possible) Grammys shade.Did Halsey take a dig at her lack of Grammy nominations last week?! We may never really know — but that was the assumption on social media after the pop star won for pop/rock song for "Without Me," and gave a long speech about how she used to care so much about award show trophies, until she grew up and realized they aren't true validation. "Most of these awards really aren't what they seem. At all," she said. "I am so thankful to the AMAs, because they're the world's largest fan-voted awards show. ... Sometimes you grow up and the stuff that you believed in starts to lose its magic. But music never does, because real fans, real artists and real stories keep that magic alive." (Later, Swift called it "literally the speech of the whole night.") 5) Post Malone's dancing.Post Malone won rap album and had quite the performance with Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott and Watt for the televised debut of their new collaboration, "Take What You Want." What made the rounds online? His extremely enthusiastic reaction to Shania Twain's medley. 6) Shania Twain's medley.Speaking of the country-pop legend, she has a new Las Vegas residency to promote, so she closed out the AMAs with her greatest hits: "You're Still the One," "Every Man of Mine," "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman." The audience went crazy, even as she opened with an acoustic guitar medley of popular tunes from Swift, Post Malone, Twenty-One Pilots and Drake. Random? Absolutely. But it was Shania, so she made it work. 7) Camila Cabello's big night.The only artist to get more screen time than Swift? It certainly felt like Cabello, who got two performance slots: one for her new song, "Living Proof," and another to duet with her boyfriend, Shawn Mendes, on their hit "Señorita," which also won collaboration of the year. Once again, just like a strikingly similar rendition on VMAs, the couple leaned in for a kiss, and the audience held its breath in anticipation ... and then they pulled away from each other. Shall we expect the same thing yet again at the Grammys? 8) Green Day's anniversary.Green Day's smash album "Dookie" turns 25 this year, and to celebrate, they got to play "Basket Case" and their new single, "Father of All," at the AMAs. Eilish, born years after that album was released, was psyched to introduce the group before their performance: "Growing up, there was no band more important to me or my brother," she explained. 9) Ciara's multitasking.After a high-energy rendition of "Melanin," Ciara, who hosted the show, asked her adorable small children in the audience for their thoughts. "How did I do?" she asked her son, age 5. "YOU DID GOOD!" he yelled. Ciara turned to her daughter, age 2. "How did Mommy do?" "GOOD!" she declared. "Aww, thank you so much, my babies," Ciara exclaimed, and turned to the audience: "I'm here to tell you that women can do it all." 10) Lil Nas X's big year continues.After a win at the Country Music Association Awards and six Grammy Award nominations this month, Lil Nas X continued his victory lap with a win for rap/hip-hop song for "Old Town Road," the game-changing TikTok meme turned gigantic hit. He accepted the prize while wearing an excellent green suit with a very earnest speech. "I don't want to get too deep," he said. "But I want to say whether you're 15, 30, 55, or whatever, and you feel like your moment has passed — know that it's waiting for you, you know?"
