Trump bars H-1B visa holders from federal jobs
24 million may drop out of school due to pandemic: UN
HC stays operation of three-capital Act
SC directs States to provide support to senior citizens
Army to convene selection board for women personnel
HDFC Bank names Jagdishan successor to Puri as MD & CEO

Trump bars H-1B visa holders from federal jobs

Information in News:

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order preventing federal agencies from contracting or subcontracting foreign workers mainly those on H-1B visas.
On June 23 suspended the H-1B visas, along with other types of foreign work visas, until the end of 2020 to protect American workers in a crucial election year. The new restrictions took effect from June 24.

Reasons behind the Executive Order

Trump’s order follows an announcement by the federally-owned Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that it would outsource 20% of its technology jobs to companies based in foreign countries.
He said TVA’s action could cause more than 200 highly-skilled American tech workers in Tennessee to lose their jobs to low-wage, foreign workers hired on temporary work visas.
He said his administration will not tolerate firing of hardworking Americans in pursuit of cheap foreign labour.
Outsourcing hundreds of workers is especially detrimental in the middle of a pandemic, which has already cost millions of Americans their jobs, the White House said in a statement.

2. 24 million may drop out of school due to pandemic: UN

Information in News:

Girls are likely to be disproportionately affected.

United Nation’s policy brief on the pandemic’s impact on education

Almost 24 million children are at risk of not returning to school next year due to the economic fallout of COVID-19, according to the United Nation’s policy brief on the pandemic’s impact on education, released on Tuesday.
It said, the educational financing gap is also likely to increase by one third.
More than 1.6 billion learners across the world have been affected by the disruption of the education system, but the pandemic has also served to exacerbate existing disparities, with vulnerable populations in low-income countries taking a harder and longer hit.
For example, during the second quarter of 2020, 86% of children at the primary level have been effectively out of school in poor countries, compared to just 20% in highly developed countries.
UNESCO estimates that 23.8 million additional children and youth [from pre-primary to tertiary] may drop out or not have access to school next year due to the pandemic’s economic impact alone. The number of children not returning to their education after the school closures is likely to be even greater, says the policy brief, adding that girls and young women are likely to be disproportionately affected as school closures make them more vulnerable to child marriage, early pregnancy and gender-based violence.
Even for those who do not drop out of school, learning losses could be severe, especially in the foundational years.
“Simulations on developing countries participating in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) suggest that without remediation, a loss of learning by one-third [equivalent to a three-month school closure] during Grade 3 might result in 72% of students falling so far behind that by Grade 10 they will have dropped out or will not be able to learn anything in school.”

3. HC stays operation of three-capital Act

Information in News:

Next hearing on August 14; govt. asked to file counter
A three-judge Bench of the High Court comprising Rakesh Kumar, A.V. Sesha Sai and M. Satyanarayana Murthy adjourned the hearing on the Andhra Pradesh Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, 2020, to August 14 and ordered that status quo be maintained till then.
The petition was filed by advocate Unnam Sravan Kumar.
The court was hearing a writ petition against the decentralisation Act filed by farmers who parted with their land for the development of Amaravati capital city under the AP Capital City Land Pooling Scheme (Formulation and Implementation) Rules, 2015.

‘Threat to livelihood’

Their argument is that the decentralisation Act ignored the existing projects and those under construction across nine ‘theme cities’ in Amaravati on which a massive amount had been spent from the exchequer.
The said Act posed a threat to the farmers’ livelihood and it would affect the economy of the entire State.
The petitioners further contended that the Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the impugned legislation neither conveyed any public interest nor justified the abandoning of existing capital city.
They prayed for recognising Amaravati as the Capital City in accordance with Sections. 5, 6 and 94 of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014 and consequentially declaring the Act repugnant and void under Article 254 and violative of Articles 256 and 257 of the Constitution.

4. SC directs States to provide support to senior citizens

Information in News:

Elderly persons affected by pandemic.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the States to provide care, support and priority medical treatment for senior citizens, especially those living alone or quarantined, amid the pandemic.
The governments had to respond promptly to the needs of senior citizens and ensure that they did not suffer financially during COVID-19.
“All old-age people who are eligible for pension should be regularly paid pension and those identified older people, should be provided necessary medicines, masks, sanitisers and other essential goods by respective States,” the court ordered.
The court said senior citizens should be given priority in government hospital admissions during the pandemic.
The Bench directed that caregivers in old-age homes should wear personal protection equipment (PPE) and follow proper sanitation procedures. The court agreed to take up the case after four weeks.

5. Army to convene selection board for women personnel

Information in News:

After receiving the formal Government Sanction Letter (GSL) for grant of Permanent Commission (PC) to women officers, the Army headquarters is in the process of convening a special selection board for screening women officers for grant of PC.
“Towards this end, detailed administrative instructions have been issued to all affected women officers, giving out guidelines for submission of applications for consideration by the board,” the Army said.
Women officers who joined the Army through the Women Special Entry Scheme (WSES) and Short Service Commission Women (SSCW), are being considered.
The orders follow the Supreme Court verdict in February, in which it directed the government that women officers in the Army be granted PC and command postings in all services other than combat.

Submission of papers

They have all been instructed to submit their application forms, option certificate and other related documents to the Army headquarters not later than August 31, it stated.
“Specimen formats and detailed checklists have been included in the administrative instructions to facilitate correct documentation,” the Army said, adding the selection board will be scheduled immediately after receipt and verification of applications.
On July 23, the Defence Ministry issued the GSL specifying grant of PC to women officers in all streams in which they presently serve — Army Air Defence, Signals, Engineers, Army Aviation, Electronics and Mechanical Engineers, Army Service Corps, Army Ordnance Corps and Intelligence Corps in addition to the existing streams of Judge and Advocate General and Army Educational Corps.

6. HDFC Bank names Jagdishan successor to Puri as MD & CEO

Information in News:

HDFC Bank on Tuesday named veteran Sashidhar Jagdishan as the new MD and CEO to succeed Aditya Puri.
Jagdishan, whose appointment was approved by the RBI, would take charge on October 27 and hold office for a period of three years, India’s largest private sector bank said in a filing.
Having joined as a manager in the finance function in 1996, Mr. Jagdishan rose to become the bank’s chief financial officer in 2008.

Exams ( UPSC, TNPSC, SSC)

4th August 2020

Space X with NASA crew is back home
Cut gratuity period to one year: panel
Palaniswami rejects three-language formula
Irish Nobel winner John Hume dead
Govt issues draft policy to ramp up Defence exports
Rakhis tied to trees in Aravalis
MGNREGS running out of funds
Mass production of vaccine in 2021: Russia
China suspended Hong Kong’s extradition treaty with New Zealand

Space X with NASA crew is back home

Information in News:

Two NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken returned to Earth in their Space X Dragon capsule named Endeavour, less than a day after departing the International Space Station and two months after blasting off from Florida.
On Sunday in a dramatic, retro-style splashdown, their capsule parachuting into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida after 64 days in space, to finish an unprecedented test flight by Elon Musk’s Space X Company.
It was the first splashdown by U.S. astronauts in 45 years, with the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to carry people to and from orbit.
The return clears the way for another SpaceX crew launch as early as next month and possible tourist flights next year.

First Splashdown in 1975

The last time NASA astronauts returned from space to water was on July 24, 1975, in the Pacific, the scene of most splashdowns, to end a joint U.S.-Soviet mission known as Apollo-Soyuz.
The Mercury and Gemini crews in the early to mid-1960s parachuted into the Atlantic, while most of the later Apollo capsules hit the Pacific.
The lone Russian “splashdown” was in 1976 on a partially frozen lake amid a blizzard following an aborted mission; the harrowing recovery took hours.

2. Cut gratuity period to one year: panel

Information in News:

The Parliamentary Committee on Labour has recommended that the eligibility period for gratuity payable to an employee on termination of his employment should be reduced to one year from the present provision of five years.
The Committee made this recommendation in its report on Social Security Code, which has been evolved subsuming nine Central Labour laws.
The committee, which is headed by Biju Janta Dal MP Bharatruhari Mahtab.
This comes in the wake of extensive retrenchment in all sectors in COVID-19 pandemic-induced economic slowdown.

Reasons to cut Gratuity period

The nature of India’s Labour Market where most employees are employed for a short duration period only, making them ineligible for gratuity as per extant norms, the Committee desires that the time limit of five years as provided for in the Code for payment of gratuity be reduced to continuous service of one year,” the report says.
It has also recommended that this facility be extended to all kinds of employees, including contract labourers, seasonal workers, piece rate workers, fixed term employees and daily/monthly wage workers.

3. Palaniswami rejects three-language formula

Information in News:

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami categorically stated that the AIADMK government will “never allow the three-language policy [which has been proposed as part of the National Education Policy 2020], and will continue to implement the two-language policy” in the State.

“The NEP makes it clear that no language will be forced upon States and all languages will be promoted.”

Stands followed in past

Recalling the agitation against the imposition of Hindi in 1965, the CM underlined a resolution rejecting the three-language policy that was passed by the Madras Legislative Assembly on January 23, 1968, during C.N. Annadurai’s tenure as Chief Minister.
On November 13, 1986, when M.G. Ramachandran was the CM, a resolution in support of the two-language policy was passed in the Assembly.
Former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa too had maintained that Hindi should not be imposed on people in non-Hindi-speaking States, and any such effort would be defeated.

The people of Tamil Nadu have been firm in following the two-language policy for over 80 years, and have expressed their sentiments on the issue through protests at different points in time.

4. N. Irish Nobel winner John Hume dead

Information in News:

John Hume, the Northern Irish politician who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998 for his pivotal role in ending decades of violence in the British province, has died aged 83, his family announced on Monday.
Hume, the former leader of the mainly Catholic Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), shared the Nobel with David Trimble of the Ulster Unionist Party after the pair helped forge the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement.
It helped to end three decades of bloody strife in Northern Ireland between the largely Catholic nationalist community who want to reunify with Ireland and Protestant unionists who want to remain part of Britain.
Hume had been suffering from dementia

5. Govt. issues draft policy to ramp up defence exports

Information in News:

With the aim of achieving a manufacturing turnover of $25 bn or Rs. 1,75,000 crore, including exports of $5 bn in aerospace and defence goods and services by 2025, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Monday put out a draft ‘Defence Production & Export Promotion Policy (DPEPP) 2020’ for public feedback.
“The DPEPP 2020 is envisaged as overarching guiding document of MoD to provide a focused, structured and significant thrust to defence production capabilities of the country for self-reliance and exports,” the Ministry said in a statement.
Inputs and comments on the draft policy can be sent up to August 17.
“The share of domestic procurement in overall defence procurement is about 60%. In order to enhance procurement from domestic industry, it is incumbent that procurement is doubled from the current Rs. 70,000 crore to Rs. 1,40,000 crore by 2025,” the draft document states.
On increasing defence exports, the policy states that Defence Attachés have been mandated and are supported to promote export of indigenous defence equipment abroad.
This effort would be supplemented by selected Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSU), which would work as export promotion agencies for certain countries with earnings linked to success fee, to promote export of defence products abroad.
“Subject to strategic considerations, domestically manufactured defence products will be promoted through Government to Government agreements and Lines of Credit/Funding.”

6. Mass production of vaccine in 2021: Russia

Information in News:

It aims to launch mass production of a COVID-19 vaccine next month and turn out “several million” doses per month by next year.
The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, which finances the trials, said he expects official registration of the vaccine to be complete “within ten days.” “If this happens in the next ten days, we will be ahead not just of the United States but other countries too, it will be the first registered corona virus vaccine.
- Gamaleya’s vaccine is a so-called viral vector vaccine, meaning it employs another virus to carry the DNA encoding the needed immune response into cells.
- Gamaleya’s vaccine is based on the adenovirus, a similar technology to the vaccine prototype developed by China’s CanSino, currently in the advanced stage of clinical trials.
Another vaccine, developed by Siberia-based Vektor lab, is currently undergoing clinical trials and two more will begin human testing within the next two months.

7. China suspended Hong Kong’s extradition treaty with New Zealand

Information in News:

China suspended Hong Kong’s extradition treaty with New Zealand on Monday amid a row with Western nations protesting against a tough new security law that Beijing imposed on the city.
New Zealand is the latest to join a string of Western powers — including Canada, Britain, Australia and Germany — that have suspended extradition treaties with Hong Kong since the controversial law was introduced in late June.
China has already hit back by suspending Hong Kong’s extradition treaties with Canada, Britain and Australia.
New Zealand’s practices… grossly interfere in China’s internal affairs, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, announcing Beijing’s decision to suspend any judicial cooperation with Wellington.
New Zealand has also tightened restrictions on military and dual-use exports to Hong Kong.
Its latest travel advice to Kiwi citizens in the territory said the security law had led to an increased risk of arrest for activities such as protests, with the possibility of being removed to mainland China to face a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
The United States has decided to rescind Hong Kong’s special trading privileges after the new law was enacted.

New flu virus (G4 flu virus) with ‘pandemic potential’ found in pigs.

New flu virus (G4 flu virus) with ‘pandemic potential’ found in pigs.

G4 flu virus

In a new research, scientists from China have identified a “recently emerged” strain of influenza virus that is infecting Chinese pigs and that has the potential of triggering a pandemic.

They named G4, the swine flu strain has genes similar to those in the virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic.

The study was published Monday in the US science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PANS).

But why study pigs?

China has the largest population of pigs in the world.
Pigs are intermediate hosts for the generation of pandemic influenza virus.
The new strain (G4) has descended from the H1N1 strain that was responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
Thus, systematic surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs is a key measure for pre-warning the emergence of the next pandemic influenza.
It cannot be said if this new strain, if transmitted from pigs to humans, can transmit from one human to another.

How the Scientist does Identified the new G4 Flu Virus?

The scientists identified the virus through surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs that they carried out from 2011 to 2018 in ten provinces of China.
During this time, more than 29,000 nasal swabs were collected from slaughtered pigs and over 1,000 swabs or lung tissues were collected from farmed pigs that had signs of respiratory disease.
Out of these samples, the researchers isolated 179 swine flu viruses, the majority of which belonged to the newly identified G4 strain.

What have the scientists said?

They also found that the G4 strain has the capability of binding to human-type receptors (like, the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to ACE2 receptors in humans), was able to copy itself in human airway epithelial cells, and it showed effective infectivity and aerosol transmission in ferrets.

What does the Scientists suggest to do further?

The scientists suggest that controlling the prevailing G4 Eurasian-Avian like (EA) H1N1 viruses in pigs and closely monitoring human populations, especially workers in the swine industry, should be “urgently implemented”.
