விடுதலைப் புலிகள் தோற்கடிக்கப்பட்டது குறித்து முத்தையா முரளிதரன் பேசியது என்ன?

September 9, 2019 இந்தியா, செய்திகள், தமிழகம் 0 267

தமிழீழ விடுதலைப் புலிகள் தோற்கடிக்கப்பட்ட நாளே தனது வாழ்க்கையின் மிக முக்கியமான நாள் என தான் தெரிவித்ததாக ஊடகங்களில் வெளியாகியுள்ள செய்தி, உண்மைக்கு புறம்பானது என இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் அணியின் முன்னாள் வீரர் முத்தையா முரளிதரன் தெரிவிக்கின்றார்.

தமிழன் என்ற விதத்தில் தாம் அச்சத்துடனேயே ஒரு காலப் பகுதியில் வாழ்ந்து வந்ததாக இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் அணியின் முன்னாள் வீரர் முத்தையா முரளிதரன் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

கொழும்பில் நேற்று (ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை) இடம்பெற்ற நிகழ்வொன்றில் கலந்துகொண்டு உரையாற்றிய போதே அவர் இதனை குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தார்.

இந்நிலையில், முத்தையா முரளிதரனிடம் இதுகுறித்து கேட்டபோது, தான் எந்தவொரு சந்தர்ப்பத்திலும் அவ்வாறு கூறவில்லை என அவர் சுட்டிக்காட்டினார்.

கொழும்பில் ஞாயிறன்று நடைபெற்ற நிகழ்ச்சியில், சிலருக்கு அச்சம் என்றால் என்னவென்று தெரியாது என கூறியிருந்த அவர், பாகிஸ்தானில் நடத்தப்பட்ட துப்பாக்கிச்சூட்டின் போதும் தாம் அச்சத்துடன் இருந்ததாக சுட்டிக்காட்டினார்.

மேலும், தனது வாழ்க்கையில் மிகவும் சிறந்ததொரு நாள் எது என்று கேட்டால், அது 2009ஆம் ஆண்டு (போர் நிறைவடைந்த ஆண்டு) என்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்திருந்தார்.

இலங்கையில் காணப்பட்ட அச்ச சூழ்நிலை, இல்லாது செய்யப்பட்ட ஆண்டே அது என அவர் சுட்டிக்காட்டிருந்தார்.

எனினும், இலங்கை மக்கள் மீண்டுமொரு அச்சத்துடனான சூழ்நிலையை சந்தித்துள்ளனர் என்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்தார்.

மேலும், இலங்கை மக்களுக்கு யார் சரியான பாதுகாப்பை வழங்குவார்களோ அவர்களுக்கே வாக்களிக்க வேண்டும் என்ற நிலைப்பாட்டில் தான் உள்ளதாக குறிப்பிட்ட அவர், அச்சமற்ற சூழ்நிலையை உருவாக்கும் தலைவர் ஒருவரே நாட்டிற்கு தேவை என முத்தையா முரளிதரன் கூறியுள்ளார்.

கிரிக்கெட் விளையாட்டின் போது, தனது தலைவராக செயற்பட்ட அர்ஜுன ரணதுங்க என்ன கூறினாலும், அதனை தான் செய்ததாகவும், ஏனெனில், கிரிக்கெட்டில் அர்ஜுன ரணதுங்க தன்னை பாதுகாத்ததாகவும் அவர் குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தார்.

நாட்டிற்காக உயிர் தியாகம் செய்யக்கூட தயார் என சிலர் கூறியதை தான் கேட்டதாக தெரிவித்த அவர், நாட்டிற்காக உயிர் தியாகம் செய்தால், நாட்டை ஆட்சி செய்வது யார் எனவும் கேள்வி எழுப்பியிருந்தார்.

இந்த நிலையில், எதிர்வரும் தேர்தலின் போது நாட்டு மக்களுக்கு அச்சமின்றியும், சந்தேகமின்றியும் வாழக்கூடிய சூழ்நிலையை யார் உருவாக்குகின்றார்களோ, அவர்களுக்கே வாக்களிக்க வேண்டும் என்றும் தெரிவித்திருந்தார்.

Trump calls off secret summit, talks with Taleban

Trump would have met the Taleban at Camp David.

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he had called off a secret summit with the Taleban and Afghanistan’s leader, abruptly slamming the door on a year of diplomacy to end America’s longest war.

In a Saturday evening bombshell, Trump said that he had planned unprecedented, albeit separate, talks with the two sides Sunday in Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, but that the Taleban’s persistent, grisly campaign of violence made them untrustworthy partners.

“Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taleban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday,” Trump said in a tweet.

“Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations.”

“What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn’t, they only made it worse!” Trump said.

A US soldier and another service member from Romania were killed in the car bombing Thursday in Kabul – the latest major attack claimed by the Taleban even as they negotiated with a US envoy on the withdrawal of thousands of troops.

Trump would have met the Taleban at Camp David – scene of secret 1978 talks as Jimmy Carter brokered peace between Israel and Egypt – days before the 18th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, which triggered the US invasion that toppled the militants’ regime.

Washington was jolted by the announcement from Trump, who is fond of dramatic gestures but whose Twitter pronouncements have often come into question later.

“The idea that Trump was planning to host Taleban leaders at Camp David is a rather big surprise,” said Laurel Miller, who served as the US special representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan until early in the Trump administration.

“Why a lethal attack in Kabul on Thursday would be the reason for calling it off, considering the multiple recent Taleban attacks, is unclear,” Miller, now the Asia director of the International Crisis Group, told AFP.

Congressman Tom Malinowski, a Democrat who has been pressing for clarity on the US strategy in Afghanistan, called the idea of Taleban leaders at Camp David “weird.”

“And everyone knew they’ve been continuously committing terrorist attacks. But I’m glad the president called off this farce, and hope this good decision sticks,” Malinowski tweeted.

The announcement by tweet appears abruptly to end, at least for now, a painstaking diplomatic process led for nearly a year by Zalmay Khalilzad, the Afghan-born veteran US diplomat who held nine rounds of talks with the Taleban.

Trump’s announcement draws a fresh question mark on whether the United States will leave Afghanistan anytime soon.

The decision comes weeks before Afghanistan is set to hold elections, an unwieldy exercise even in more stable times.

Trump had been uncharacteristically reticent about Afghanistan in recent weeks, with all eyes on whether he would approve a final deal.

Washington had hoped that a withdrawal of US troops would lead to negotiations between the Taleban and Kabul on a more permanent peace.

The Taleban have shown no signs of letting up on violence. Claiming responsibility for Thursday’s bombing, which shook a fortified central area of Kabul.

Trump has walked away from high-stakes talks before. In February, his aides pressed him not to accept a deal in Hanoi with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – another individual whom it would have long been unthinkable for a US president to meet.

But Trump soon made clear that he wanted to keep talking, calling Kim a friend, and arranged to meet him in June as the US leader visited the Korean peninsula.

When anthems strike the wrong note at sporting events

The visitors refused to kick off their Euro 2020 qualifier on Saturday nigh

At its best, sport can promote international harmony, but that was not the case at the Stade de France where the  hosts played the Andorran anthem for the Albanian team.
The visitors refused to kick off their Euro 2020 qualifier on Saturday night. When their demand was met, they beamed, sung, celebrated and started the match, which they lost 4-1.
“It was a big thing,” said Albania’s Italian coach Edoardo Reja.
Anthems, and other national symbols such as flags, are an inescapable part of international sports.
Yet with surprising frequency, teams solemnly lined up for anthems register surprise or outrage when they find “they aren’t playing our tune.”
On Saturday, the hosts played the anthem of Andorra, the next visitor to the Stade de France, a tune unlikely to cause political offence to anyone.
Sometimes the errors are understandable. Slovenia’s anthem played after a Slovakian victory at the ice hockey world championships. Other incidents have struck a political nerve.
The often-changed Russian anthem has caused frequent problems. Russia adopted Mikhail Glinka’s ‘Patriotic Song’ in 1991. Nine year’s later, after the election of Vladimir Putin, Russia reverted to a modified version of the old Soviet anthem, retitled ‘State Anthem of the Russian Federation.’
Russian athletes have become adept at singing the latest version.
After the wrong anthem was played at the biathlon world championships in Hochfilzen, Austria, in 2017 the winning quartet took a microphone and sang the correct version. Two years earlier, Russian media, reported the women’s under 18 ice hockey did the same at their world championships in Buffalo.
Three years later, after the USA beat Russia in the quarterfinals of the under-18 men’s ice hockey world championship in Chelyabinsk in Russia, they lined up to hear an unrecognisable and curtailed version of a tune that might have been the Star Spangled Banner. They responded by singing themselves.
The 2003 Davis Cup final between Australia and Spain almost provoked a diplomatic incident.
The hosts hired a famed local jazz trumpeter, James Morrison to play the anthems. When he played the pre-civil war Himno de Riego instead of the Marcha Real, Spain’s secretary for sport, Juan Antonio Gomez Angulo, in Melbourne for the event, ordered his team to refuse to start until they had received a formal apology for “this intolerable offence”.
In 2015, Armenian media reported drily that at the youth championships for Sambo, in Serbia, the Azerbaijani winner had to listen to the Armenian national anthem. The two countries are officially at war.
When Uruguay played Mexico in Phoenix in the Copa America, their anthem was replaced with that of Chile. Television images showed star striker Luis Suarez angry on the Uruguayan bench.
Organisers blamed “human error.”
It could have been worse.
At a shooting competition in Kuwait, Kazakh winner Maria Dmitrienko listened straight-faced to “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” a parody anthem from the Sacha Baron Cohen film Borat downloaded by mistake from the internet.
Sometimes it is not enough to play the right anthem. It has to be played right.
For the London Olympics the organisers had the seemingly foolproof idea of hiring the famous London Philharmonic Orchestra to record all the anthems at the even more famous Abbey Road Studios.
The reviews were not all positive. After winning a fencing gold and hearing their anthems, the Hungarians politely requested a change.
“The rhythm and tones were off,” said Jeno Kamuti, chief of the Hungarian fencing team.

Smith the difference against an England that needs changes

Australia look like a team that is well set

Having missed their chance at Headingley, Australia made sure they retained the Ashes with their 185 run victory over England at Old Trafford on Sunday and no-one could question they deserved it.
One final test remains, at The Oval starting on Thursday, and while England might be able to summon up a way to win and level the series, like the heroic win in Leeds two weeks ago, that would merely paper over the cracks.
Australia look like a team that is well set, with perhaps a couple of upgrades, to become a powerful force in the long-form of the game for several years.
England on the other hand are at a cross-roads, needing to solve a series of problem areas and find the talent that can ensure that the next series – in Australia in 2021 – is one they can win.
Australia have certainly sorted two of the key roles needed for a successful test side.
“We’ve got the best fast bowler in the world and the best test batsman in the world,” said Australia coach and former opening batsman Justin Langer.
This test proved that the ICC rankings, which have Steve Smith as the top test batsman and Pat Cummins the leading bowler in the format, do not lie.
Smith scored 211 in the first innings, batting at times in chilly, blustering winds with frequent rain interruptions, and then 82 while his team mates struggled second time out.
The Australia number four has simply never failed in this series – incredibly, 82 was his lowest score.
In his five innings he has scored 671 runs at an average of 134.2 with three centuries and two half-centuries.
Those numbers are remarkable enough but when you take in the context that he was returning after a 12 month ban from the game and then missed the Headingley test after being struck on the head by England paceman Jofra Archer, they are astonishing.
There are more spectacular big-hitters and perhaps more elegant stroke-makers but Smith has the age-old test cricket asset of being able to quietly accumulate runs in long sessions against both pace and spin.
“I thought Virat Kohli was the best batsman I’ve ever seen because of the way he plays in all forms, but Steve Smith… that’s another level,” said Langer.
“He’s a great problem solver. His hunger for the game, I’ve never seen anything like it,” he added.
BALANCE IN ATTACK
Cummins showed with his seven wickets in this test that he is a top quality pace bowler and he is benefiting from being part of a well-balanced attack.
Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood both performed well at Old Trafford while Nathan Lyon asked questions with his spin.
In contrast, England’s bowling attack, sorely missed the contribution of their all-time wicket-taker James Anderson, who has been injured since the first test.
But the real problem remains their upper order batting where they have yet to find a stable opening partnership in a team that seems top-heavy with attacking middle-order batsmen.
Questions will inevitably be asked about whether Joe Root, whose batting quality is beyond dispute, is the right man for the captaincy role.
Certainly the way England seemed to let the match drift at times in the first two days suggested the need for a more assertive approach but it would be unfair to put the entire blame for that on their captain.
What is undoubtedly needed is for England, who had put so much emphasis on and preparation for the home World Cup that they won in July, to refocus on the test game.
As much as it might be denied, it has surely been tough for players to switch formats so quickly and the workload has been heavy for paceman Archer.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes there needs to be a major review of the state of the team after the Oval test.
“I think it’s time to have an assessment of the test team, work out the direction it wants to go, under what leadership and coaching, the style of cricket they want to produce, and I’m sure over the winter months we’ll see a different look to the test team,” he said.

Chennai finally gets the epic makeover it deserved, and it looks wonderful!

Chennai finally gets the epic makeover it deserved, and it looks wonderful!

 

We marveled at the Street Art festivals in Mumbai and Delhi, where local as well as international artists combined their forces to redefine the cities’ walls forever. While we were in absolute awe of the art, we were left a little disheartened to think that nothing like this would happen in our own city of Chennai. And on January 20th, our prayers were answered.

 

In a move that none of us predicted, Goethe-Institut Chennai and Max Mueller Bhavan in collaboration with Chennai City Connect gave this city the gift of art. This city, which was previously subjected to being graced only with propaganda-oriented political art woke up to a revolution on a cool, unassuming Tuesday morning: a street art revolution.

Conquer the Concrete as it is meant to be known, is Chennai’s first ever street art movement that saw artists from Germany, Spain and USA collaborate with our very own Indian street artists and cinema hoarding painters to transform the streets of Madras into artistic masterpieces.

 

 

Spread over a fortnight, the festival finally ended on February 7th, but the art will hopefully live on forever, reminding us with every glance of the revolution that has finally begun.

On behalf of the city, we thank curator Georg Zolchow, Goethe-Institut Chennai, Max Mueller Bhavan, Chennai City Connect and the collaborating artists: Anpu (Delhi), Amitabh Kumar (Bangalore), Artlab (Chennai), Axel Void (Miami), Base 23 (Berlin), Look (Berlin), M.P. Dakshna (Chennai), Okuda (Madrid), Paintbox (Chennai), SatOne (Munich), Shilo Shiv Suleman (Bangalore), J.P. Krishna (Chennai).

Here’s the comparison of Chennai groundwater levels between #July and #August of 2019.

This shows groundwater levels are increasing gradually in areas across Chennai city, and if we collectively start taking efforts to save rainwater, we can see a constant rise in the levels and revive our water table in the process.

Chennai Metro Water has several shallow monitoring wells spread across the city that is divided into zones. The collected groundwater level data denotes the average water level of the particular zone.

Hong Kong leader says China backs her ‘all the way’

September 7, 2019 செய்திகள் 0 279

Lam was repeatedly questioned on why it took her so long to withdraw the bill.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Thursday that China “understands, respects and supports” her government’s move to formally withdraw an extradition bill, part of measures she hoped would help the city “move forward” from months of unrest.

In a press conference, Lam was repeatedly questioned on why it took her so long to withdraw the bill that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China despite increasingly violent protests, but she skirted the questions.

“It is not exactly correct to describe this as a change of mind,” she said.

She added that this full withdrawal of the bill was a decision made by her government with Beijing’s backing.

“Throughout the whole process, the Central People’s Government took the position that they understood why we have to do it. They respect my view, and they support me all the way,” said Lam, dressed in white and looking less tense than a televised appearance the day before.

She withdrew the bill, which has plunged the Chinese-ruled territory into its worst political crisis in decades, on Wednesday.

She also announced other measures including opening a platform for dialogue with society to try to address other deep-rooted economic, social and political problems that she said were contributing to the current impasse.

“We must find ways to address the discontent in society and look for solutions,” she said.

The withdrawal was one of the pro-democracy protesters’ five demands, although many demonstrators and lawmakers said the move was too little, too late.

The four other demands are: retraction of the word “riot” to describe rallies, release of all demonstrators, an independent inquiry into perceived police brutality and the right for Hong Kong people to choose their own leaders.

The official China Daily said on Thursday that the withdrawal of the bill was an olive branch that leaves demonstrators with no excuse to continue violence.

The announcement came after Reuters reports on Friday and Monday revealed that Beijing had thwarted Lam’s earlier proposals to withdraw the bill and that she had said privately that she would resign if she could, according to an audio recording obtained by Reuters.

Lam leaves for China’s Guangxi province on Thursday afternoon.

Skirmishes broke out in some districts including Po Lam late on Wednesday after Lam’s announcement, which came after a weekend of some of the most violent protests the city has seen in the past three months.

Police said a suspected petrol bomb was hurled at a luxury property in Kowloon district in the early hours of Thursday and the suspects fled on a motorbike. Local newspaper Apple Daily said the house belonged to Jimmy Lai, the newspaper’s owner, who was in the property at the time. Pro-democracy publishing tycoon Lai is an outspoken critic of Beijing.

The bill was seen as the latest example of what many residents see as ever-tighter control by Beijing, despite the promise of autonomy.

The former British colony was handed back to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” administration which gave the city of more than 7 million people more freedoms than mainland cities, such as an independent judiciary.

China denies meddling in Hong Kong’s affairs and accuses Western countries of fuelling the protests.

Images of some of the fiercest clashes have been beamed live on television screens across the world, sending jitters across the international business community and leading to a large drop in tourism.

The Hong Kong government took out a full-page advert in the Australian Financial Review on Thursday saying it is “determined to achieve a peaceful, rational and reasonable resolution” and is resolutely committed to “one country, two systems”.

It ends the advert by saying: “We will no doubt bounce back. We always do.”

More than 1,100 people have been arrested since the violence escalated in June and Hong Kong is facing its first recession in a decade.

China has strongly denounced the violence and warned it could use force to restore order
