1/0 berapa Indian billionaire Gautam Adani on Saturday said "attacks" on his company made it "stronger", days after US prosecutors accused him and other officials of fraud. The November 20 bombshell indictment in New York accused the industrialist and multiple subordinates of deliberately misleading international investors as part of a multi-million-dollar bribery scheme. Addressing the allegations for the first time, the 62-year-old tycoon said his conglomerate was committed to "world-class regulatory compliance". "What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group," he said at an awards ceremony in the northern Indian city of Jaipur. Adani is suspected of having participated in a $250 million scheme to bribe Indian officials for lucrative solar energy supply contracts. The billionaire, however, said nobody from his company had been charged with any violation of corruption laws or "any conspiracy to obstruct justice". The US Justice Department said Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and one other official were charged "with conspiracies to commit securities and wire fraud and substantive securities fraud". Five others were charged "with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act," the department said. On Thursday, Adani's company said it had suffered a loss of nearly $55 billion in market capitalisation across its 11 listed companies since the US indictment was filed. With a business empire spanning coal, airports, cement and media, Adani Group has weathered previous corporate fraud allegations, suffering a similar stock rout last year. The conglomerate saw $150 billion wiped from its market value in 2023 after a report by short-seller Hindenburg Research accused it of "brazen" corporate fraud. Adani is a close ally of Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was at one point the world's second-richest man, and critics have long accused him of improperly benefitting from their relationship. ash/ahaDonald Trump has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a federal TikTok law that would ban the popular social media app or force its sale, with the Republican U.S. president-elect arguing that he should have time after taking office to pursue a "political resolution" to the issue. TikTok and its owner ByteDance are fighting to keep the popular app online in the United States after Congress voted in April to ban it unless the app's Chinese parent company sells it by Jan. 19. They have sought to have the law struck down, and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. But if the court does not rule in ByteDance's favor and no divestment occurs, the app could be effectively banned in the United States on Jan. 19, one day before Trump takes office. "This case presents an unprecedented, novel, and difficult tension between free-speech rights on one side, and foreign policy and national security concerns on the other," Trump said in a filing on Friday. "Such a stay would vitally grant President Trump the opportunity to pursue a political resolution that could obviate the Court's need to decide these constitutionally significant questions," the filing added. Free speech advocates separately told the Supreme Court on Friday that the U.S. law against Chinese-owned TikTok evokes the censorship regimes put in place by the United States' authoritarian enemies. Trump indicated earlier this week that he favored allowing TikTok to keep operating in the United States for at least a little while, saying he had received billions of views on the social media platform during his presidential campaign. The U.S. Justice Department has argued that Chinese control of TikTok poses a continuing threat to national security, a position supported by most U.S. lawmakers. TikTok says the Justice Department has misstated the social media app's ties to China, arguing that its content recommendation engine and user data are stored in the United States on cloud servers operated by Oracle Corp while content moderation decisions that affect U.S. users are made in the United States as well.

Research and surveys are being conducted to provide better rail transport services to the people to run electric trains to ensure smooth and swift transport of commodities and passengers. Plans are underway to operate Battery Electric Locomotives (BELs) instead of diesel locomotives which are being used on long trips. Myanma Railways uses Rail Bus Engine-RBE on short trips. The services of Myanma Railways will be aligned with the advancement of technologies to benefit public transport. Recently, Diesel Electric Multiple Units (DEMU) have been used in running the transport service of the Yangon Circular Railway. These carriages were imported from Spain as part of improving the rail transport services. In this regard, new carriages are facilitated with air-conditioners, automatic lighting changing systems and communication systems for the safety of passengers. These trains can run 60 kilometres per hour on their trips. The Yangon City Circular Railway upgrade project was implemented with preliminary engineering works from 2015 to 2016 and the construction process in 2017. Now, the railway will host 20 RBE trains and 15 DEMU trains on a daily basis for the convenience of passengers. Now is the time to improve rail transport services despite the possibility of costing a large sum of budget. Whatever it may be, it is necessary to build an electric train network with the use of power lines along the railways as well as the use of battery electric locomotives (BELs). In this regard, RBE carriages can be transformed into BEMUs for the city circular railways whereas diesel locomotives can be shifted into battery electric locomotives for long journeys. Diesel locomotives need costs of fuel but battery electric locomotives do not need fuel charges to carry out the least cost in transport services. Moreover, as BELs are speedier than diesel locomotives, it is necessary to take care of driving for traffic safety on priority with the use of advanced signals and communication equipment. The initiatives to transform diesel locomotives into battery electric locomotives are a great step for Myanma Railways to improve its services for the people. Hence, emphasis must be placed on upgrading rail tracts and overpasses aligned with running advanced carriages and locomotives on railway sections for the safety of transport. On the other hand, passengers and people residing not far from railways need to take care of traffic safety to minimize accidents. As the Myanma Railways manages more than 3,800 miles of railways in total and 962 railway stations nationwide, its improvement projects need to cover all rail transport facilities comprehensively.1stdibs.com chief commercial officer sells $47,290 in stock

By ANDREW DAMPF ROME (AP) — Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in Champions League history with 100 or more goals. But Erling Haaland is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland’s brace wasn’t enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion’s winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi plays in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. “It’s a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I’m in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi.” The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoff round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City’s third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City’s second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn’t conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern, especially after Ousmane Dembelé was sent off in the 56th with his second yellow. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Charles De Ketelaere scored two and assisted on three other goals for Atalanta. Also, Arsenal kept red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres quiet in a 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon; and Germany star Florian Wirtz scored two goals and was involved in two more as Bayer Leverkusen boosted its chances of finishing in the top eight with a 5-0 rout of Salzburg. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches.By HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. Related Articles “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”AP Sports SummaryBrief at 5:24 p.m. EST

Former PTI leader and Senator Faisal Vawda has expressed serious concerns over the safety of PTI founder Imran Khan, alleging that his life is at risk from members of his own party, including Bushra Bibi, Ali Amin Gandapur, Express News reported. In a statement on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Vawda reiterated his previous claims, saying, “I still stand by my statement that Khan’s life is in danger from Bibi, Gandapur, and their supporters.” Vawda further pointed to a tweet by former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Qasim Suri, as evidence of the threat. Suri, whom Vawda referred to as a “fugitive”, had posted a tweet suggesting that Khan had lost his mental stability, even implying that he was “mad.” “The first indication of the threat to Imran Khan’s life is the tweet from the absconding fugitive Qasim Suri, in which he started spreading the narrative that Khan has lost his mental balance,” Vawda said. The senator emphasised that the nation is now beginning to understand the implications of such statements and actions. “But we must protect Khan’s life and save the founder of PTI from these individuals,” Vawda stated. On the other hand, Aliya Khan, Imran Khan’s sister, publicly denounced Suri’s tweet, labelling it as baseless and irresponsible.
