Yogi Adityanath, the man the song says will come to power, is a BJP leader and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, an Indian state which has made headlines for violent crimes against Muslims. Last month, a mob of Hindu men climbed atop a mosque’s walls in the state of Karnataka, dancing to the song and singing the lyrics, “We will not rest till your (Ram’s) temple is built. Hate music has been used by Hindu nationalists since the early 1990s, the journalist and Narendra Modi biographer Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay told the Associated Press last year, noting cassette tapes featuring adapted versions of popular Bollywood songs were distributed to appeal to young people at the time. Over 20 people were injured in different parts after groups of Hindus marched through Muslim neighbourhoods waving saffron flags and swords as they danced and shouted along to anti-Muslim songs blasting from loudspeakers. “The priority should be to make sure that the technology is not misused in environments where politics and personal relations and other aspects of society are actually more volatile.”In the opposition statement to the shareholder’s proposal, Alphabet said that it believes the company provides sufficient disclosures about YouTube’s policies and procedures and that it completes “extensive regulatory compliance work.” — Saved 89% of original text.

There is a significant amount of particulate air pollution that comes from tires. Heavier electric cars make that somewhat worse.

Step in the right direction, but really we need to ban cars.

autotldr Bot , in Jerusalem Catholic Patriarch offers to be exchanged for Gaza hostages

Click here to see the summaryVATICAN CITY, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Pope Francis’ representative in the Holy Land said on Monday he was willing to exchange himself for Israeli children taken hostage by Hamas and held in Gaza. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, made his comment in response to a question during a video conference with journalists in Italy. He stressed, however, that he and his office had not yet had any direct contact with Hamas, the militant Islamist group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,300 people. Diplomatic efforts have been intensifying to get aid into Gaza as Israel prepares a ground invasion to destroy Hamas. Pizzaballa said that about 1,000 Christians were sheltering in Church buildings in northern Gaza after their homes were destroyed in Israeli strikes. Israel has urged exhausted Gazans to evacuate to the south, which hundreds of thousands have already done in the enclave that is home to more than 2 million people. — Saved 54% of original text.

  • autotldr Bot , in Sri Lanka says it has reached an agreement with China's EXIM Bank on debt, clearing IMF funding snag

    Click here to see the summaryCOLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka says it has reached an agreement with the Exim Bank of China on key terms and principles for restructuring its debt, a key step toward unlocking a second instalment of a $2.9 billion package from International Monetary Fund aimed at rescuing the island nation from a dire economic crisis. The finance ministry said in a statement issued Wednesday that the agreement covers $4.2 billion in outstanding debt and is an important step toward Sri Lanka’s economic recovery. Borrowing for China-funded infrastructure projects like highways, an airport and seaport that did not attract expected business opportunities have added to the country’s financial woes. The IMF agreed in March of this year to a $2.9 billion bailout package after receiving assurances from China that cleared a last hurdle in sealing an agreement. Over the past year, Sri Lanka’s severe shortages of essentials like food, fuel and medicine have largely abated, and authorities have restored power supplies. But public dissatisfaction has grown over the government’s efforts to increase revenues by raising electricity bills and imposing heavy new income taxes on professionals and businesses. — Saved 55% of original text.

    autotldr Bot , in US says North Korea delivered 1,000 containers of equipment and munitions to Russia for Ukraine war

    đŸ€– I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

    Click here to see the summaryWASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said on Friday that North Korea has delivered more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that the U.S. believes Kim is seeking sophisticated Russian weapons technologies in return for the munitions to boost North Korea’s military and nuclear program. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, last week published satellite photos that showed a sharp increase in rail traffic along the North Korea-Russia border, During Kim’s six-day trip to Russia, his longest foreign travel as a leader, the two countries said they discussed boosting their defense ties but didn’t disclose any specific steps. Foreign experts speculate the two countries, both locked in confrontations with the West, were pushing to reach arms transfer deals in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is in the Middle East to consult with allies in the aftermath of last week’s Hamas attack on Israel, spoke by phone on Friday with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. — Saved 68% of original text.

    autotldr Bot , in Microsoft's $68.7B Activision acquisition clears final hurdle as UK approves restructured deal | TechCrunch

    đŸ€– I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

    Click here to see the summaryIt has been a long time coming, but Microsoft’s near-two year attempt to buy gaming giant Activision is finally happening, after the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) accepted a restructured proposal that addresses the CMA’s concerns about Microsoft dominating the cloud gaming market. Microsoft announced its plans to buy Activision in a gargantuan $68.7 billion deal way back in January, 2022. The move would essentially make Microsoft the third-largest gaming company globally by revenue (behind Tencent and Sony), giving it control over mega-franchises such as World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. In April, the CMA concluded that the deal would “substantially weaken competition” and would create “
the most powerful operator” in the cloud gaming market. It’s worth noting that Microsoft reached various deals to keep Activision games on rival platforms including Nintendo, Sony, and Steam for a 10-year period. But the CMA asserted that Microsoft’s proposals simply couldn’t replace the current “competitive dynamism.” — Saved 58% of original text.

    Paragone , in Netanyahu says Israel will ‘crush and destroy’ Hamas; every Hamas member is a ‘dead man’

    Learned-helplessness produces both Nihilism & Sadism.

    The Russian soldiers’ habit of making torture-chambers everywhere proves this.

    Russian culture’s “fate regime” concept of relationship also proves this ( it proves the learned-helplessness aspect of it ).

    ( apparently that article explaining how in Russia, people entirely accept that fate, and nothing else, decides who marries who, is now 
 gone??

    Neither DuckDuckGO nor google have it
 )

    Deterrent requires that both parties have aversion to destruction.

    However, when 1 party has become nihilist, then they can assault the other as a means of baiting the other into sadistic-aggression, in order that all the neighbours commit to annihilating the one who was successfully baited into demonstrating genocidal sadism.

    Israel won’t exist, in 10 years, no matter what, now.

    NOTHING can make the Arab world accommodate its life, now.

    Nothing.

    The Christian Bible’s Matthew 24 had a prophecy that is about to become historical-fact, in the coming decade.

    Here’s a decent version of it:

    www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt+24&


    That bit around verses 15-20 is the pertinent area.

    Simply wait 1 decade, and see: if Israel still exists, as a country, in 2033, I’ll eat a hat.

    And it was entirely preventable, had there been enough committment to having neutral authorities in West Bank ( UN ), and NO political-dishonesty OR nationalist bullying permitted from either side

    The nice thing about prophecies is that they can never be proven to be false. Indeed, one would have to examine the future to prove it wrong. Which is either impossible or unrealistic.

    Me too I can make a ton of prophecies and claim they will be eventually right. I will never be wrong.

    Let’s see. Let me prophesize that:

    • The US will cease to exist
    • We will encounter aliens
    • See where you are living right now? Eventually, it will be filled with lava.
    • See where you are living right now? Eventually, it will be flooded with water.
    • A giant comet populated with nyan cats will crash on Earth

    However, you can be sure that in 2033 I will come back in this thread and have you eat a hat. Marking the date and the link in my calendar. If lemmy is still alive, that is

    probably ,

    Wtf is this? Israel won’t exist in 10 years? The Arab world won’t accommodate them?

    They are on better terms with much of the Arab world than they have ever been. They are certainly on better terms than Hamas is. Hamas has Hezbollah and Iran (Persian not Arab). Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, and Sudan all have formal relations with Israel. Turkey had long had formal relations with Israel.

    And for most of those that are adamantly against Israel aren’t exactly in the position to really start something that they know would escalate to US involvement. You think Iran is going to Nuke them or something? Because Israel is rather established.

    autotldr Bot , in Australian Cheng Lei freed from China detention

    Click here to see the summaryCheng Lei, 48, was working as a business reporter for China’s state-run English language TV station CGTN when she was arrested on 13 August 2020. On Wednesday, following Ms Cheng’s release, Mr Albanese said it would facilitate his trip to China at a “mutually agreed time” this year. The government has been seeking this for a long period of time and her return will be warmly welcomed not just by her family and friends but by all Australians," Mr Albanese said, adding that he spoke to Ms Cheng over the phone earlier on Wednesday. “I would like to emphasise that the the Judicial Department heard the relevant cases and handed down their sentences in accordance with the law,” China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said, adding that Ms Cheng’s rights to receive regular consular visits had also been respected. In August, she spoke publicly for the first time about her imprisonment in an open letter to the people of Australia, which had been dictated to a group of diplomats who were able to speak with her each month. They were released hours after the US extradition request against Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was dropped, although Beijing denied any connection between the two matters. — Saved 70% of original text.
