Brazil’s Rousseff suspended as Senate

MAY 12, 2016 | EDIT
Brazilian Senate voted in favor for an impeachment trial against President Dilma Rousseff, suspending the president from office.
President Rousseff will be suspended until the Senate submits the case to a final trial, which will happen in up to 180 days. Vice President Michel Temer will take over in the period.
The Senate gave the go-ahead for the impeachment trial by 55-22 in the early hours of Thursday.
In the impeachment trial, it will take a two-thirds majority to remove Rousseff from the presidency permanently.
Analysts say this may not be difficult as the opposition managed to get two-thirds in the first voting.

Smart SC Issues ‘DROUGHT MANAGEMENT’ Guidelines

May12, 2016 (C) Ravinder Singh progressindia2015@gmail.com

We are fortunate to have in Justice TS Thakur led Supreme Court which is Smartest of All in the world.
What is even more thrilling is in the last lines of the Guidelines –
‘Humanitarian factors such as migrations from affected areas, suicides, extreme distress, the plight of women and children are some of the factors that ought to be kept in mind by State Governments in matters pertaining to drought and the Government of India in updating and revising the Manual.’

As given in the annexure as Gujarat received Deficient Rainfall Empowered Group of Ministers went to Gujarat on August04 2012 to ASSESS THE DROUGHT SITUATION within 5-6 weeks of onset of monsoon all over India.

Entire Gujarat Cabinet met EGoM but no such assessment of Drought was carried out in two consequent droughts.

Lok Sabha debate was most disappointing. LOK SABHA didn’t invite EXPERTS or even CWC to give Presentation on Drought Situation.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state. Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the Presidency. About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.
