A job racket operating in the name of the Union health ministry cheated at least 27,000 applicants by collecting a registration fee totalling about Rs 1.09 crore in just about a month, the Delhi Police’s cyber cell said on Thursday after nabbing five suspects. Purely in terms of the number of identified victims, the police said that it was one of the biggest job frauds ever busted by the force. The police said since the masterminds legally operated a centre that conducted online recruitment examinations for government and private agencies, they had access to personal data of job-seekers to whom they sent targeted messages of job offers. In one month, the gang allegedly sent out 15 lakh SMSs with links to two fraudulent websites for registration for 13,000 vacancies, including posts s...

Rihanna has apologised for using a controversial song at her latest Savage X Fenty fashion show. The track, called 'Doom' by artist Coucou Chloe, includes a sacred Muslim text known as a Hadith which is believed to be the spoken words of the Prophet Muhammad. In a statement, Rihanna said the use of the song was an honest, yet careless mistake. We understand that we have hurt many of our Muslim brothers and sisters, and Im incredibly disheartened by this! I do not play with any kind of disrespect toward God or any religion and therefore the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible! She added: "Moving forward we will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding, Rih. The artist of the song has also apologised for the ...

By Sara Radin Are you experiencing worry or panic, or uneasiness about what the future holds? On edge about the polarized battle between the incumbent presidential nominee Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, two powerful figures that could determine what the next four years of our lives look like?

Palestine was meant to chair Arab League meetings for next six months, but FM Riyad al-Maliki has declined the position.

Palestine has quit its current chairmanship of Arab League meetings, the Palestinian foreign minister said on Tuesday, condemning as dishonourable any Arab agreement to establish formal ties with Israel. Palestinians see the deals that the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed with Israel in Washington a week ago as a betrayal of their cause and a blow to their quest for an independent state in Israeli-occupied territory. Earlier this month, the Palestinians failed to persuade the Arab League to condemn nations breaking ranks and normalising relations with Israel. Palestine was supposed to chair Arab League meetings for the next six months, but Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told a news conference in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah that it no longer wanted the position. "Pa...

Trump has threatened to cut funding from Democratic-led cities that he calls “crazy violent.”

clapford

New York City, Portland and Seattle sued the Trump administration on Thursday over its threat to withdraw federal funding after the Justice Department designated the cities as "anarchist jurisdictions" for their handling of protests in the wake of George Floyd's killing. Why it matters: In an effort to help his re-election bid, President Trump has tried to paint himself as a "president of law and order," arguing that Democratic-led cities have seen "crazy violence" since the start of nationwide demonstrations this summer. The big picture: The lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington challenges a memo Trump issued last month threatening to pull federal funding from jurisdictions that "permitted violence and the destruction of property to persist and have r...
