Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday asserted that satellite spectrum allocation will not follow a first-come-first-serve basis, while also addressing the recent controversy over personal remarks made against him in Parliament by an Opposition MP. Also Read : Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sukanta Majumdar walk the ramp at Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav | Video Speaking at the Times Network’s India Economic Conclave, Scindia emphasised that auctioning spectrum for satellite services was not feasible due to scientific constraints. “No country in the world auctions satellites because it’s physically impossible. The pricing will be decided by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. That authority will assign the price, and based on that, the spectrum will be assigned to everyone that procures a license,” he said.

For satellite phones, you have to point your antenna, and that’s when you get the signal, and it keeps shifting,” Scindia said. Also Read : TMC’s Banerjee apologises for remarks on minister Scindia Speaking about State-owned telecom operator BSNL, Scindia said the company has been posting operational profits since 2021, with revenues increasing by about 12% to ₹ 21,000 crore while expenditure reduced by 2%. He added that BSNL’s delayed 4G launch was due to its choice to use indigenous technology, with plans to roll out 100,000 towers by June 2025 Addressing the Parliament controversy, Scindia stressed the importance of maintaining decorum in democratic discourse. “In my 22 years of political experience, I have never made a personal remark about anyone. There should be a standard in politics,” he said, referring to offensive comments made by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee during a discussion on the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill on Wednesday. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday said that Banerjee had submitted a written apology for his remarks, though Scindia refused to accept it, calling it a “personal attack on me and the women of India”.

Singer Tabitha Nauser on her first year of motherhood: ‘Becoming a mum changed me for the better’The Dallas Mavericks continue to beat anyone of anything that is put in its path with the Portland Trail Blazers being their most recent victim. A 132-108 win swept aside their opponents with the usual stars of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving playing a big hand in the team’s strong offensive numbers. Daniel Gafford also joined in with the party scoring 23 points, meaning that the trio put up a combined 70 of the team’s 132. The Mavericks have been without Luka Doncic through periods of this season due to injury but the Slovenian is back and firing on all cylinders. Despite there being no doubts that Luka is the face of the Mavericks franchise Quentin Grimes named Kyrie as the voice of the Mavericks locker room , and the star was certainly vocal about one key lesson which has benefited his recent NBA career. Kyrie uses Cavaliers experience to handle Mavericks pressure Now in his 14th NBA season, Kyrie has seen and done it all. He’s spent time with four sides across both the Eastern and Western Conference since joining the league in 2011. The eight-time NBA All-Star and one-time champion has experienced some of the greatest moments any player could, but he’s also had his fair share of low moments. Carmelo Anthony recently revaled how Irving has found his home in Dallas, something which is clear to see from his beaming smile in interviews. Speaking to the media following the Mavericks latest win Irving was asked what the team felt it had learnt while Luka was out injured for eight games. Kyrie Irving after Mavericks win vs. Blazers: “We are trying to build a dynasty.” (via @JoeyMistretta_ ) pic.twitter.com/SVRWOfWYna Irving said: “I mean number one I just try not to be divisive about it because I see it from the outside looking in sometimes because when we’re not playing with Luka there’s an emphasis on our team even more so just because of our success rate with or without him in it. Sometimes we pay a lot of attention to that but we fail to realize that we have a lot of other good players that are on the team too. “We are trying to build a dynasty, we’re trying to build something special here and I think that comes with changing of the guard, or functionality of how people play. Kyrie went on to explain how he likes to celebrate the little things now as he experienced a lot of flack in Cleveland when LeBron James was out and similar in Brooklyn with Kevin Durant. He said: “I dealt with a lot of flack when LeBron wasn’t playing and we were not good at all and then KD [Kevin Durant] didn’t play when I was in Brooklyn, so I’ve felt when guys are not in the line-up the pressure is on me and I think I’ve been able to learn through the portion of my career to just trust other guys and let them carry me too. Sometimes you’ve got to be carried and be okay with that as a leader.” Kyrie praises Mavericks team depth Kyrie made a strong point of emphasis on how a few players cannot with you a championship it’s about the team collective. While the Mavericks of course enjoy the fact that Luka will pretty much guarantee you 25 points every night other players are also standing up and taking responsibility. A strong sign of the team depth can be seen when rotation players are being singled out for their efforts. Klay Thompson recently praised Quentin Grimes for his impact on the side since joining from the Detroit Pistons . In the recent win over the Trail Blazers no fewer than five Mavericks stars notched up 10-plus points in the game and Kyrie praised the team’s depth. He said: “It’s very important and it should be a priority to talk about it. When you have a dedicated group that is focused we compete hard against each other in practice and then you see the results on the court. We can be competitive with whoever is in the lineup. The Mavericks will be hoping to continue their great team feel and all-around contribution when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Christmas Day.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins (17-16-5) exacted revenge and downed the New York Islanders (14-16-7) 3-2 Sunday evening in PPG Paints Arena. Once again, the Islanders’ special teams absolutely let them down. The anemic penalty kill allowed two more power-play goals. The man advantage resulted in missed opportunities and momentum building for the Penguins. Old friend Anthony Beuavillier started the party in the first for the Penguins. Later, Sidney Crosby made history, passing Mario Lemieux for the most assists in the Penguins’ history on Michael Bunting’s second-period power-play goal. Phillip Tomasino stuck the dagger in the Islanders with his power-play goal, which banked off Alexander Romanov. Marcus Hogberg sparkled in his first NHL game since April 28, 2021. Quite frankly, the entire team left him out to dry. He’s the only reason this game didn’t become 7-0. After only facing six shots in the first period, he faced 21 in the second period and only allowed one goal. In total, he made 38 saves. Islanders’ Head Coach Patrick Roy specifically praised Hogberg, calling him “fantastic.” Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in the win for Pittsburgh. First Period: After a sleepy start, Hogberg made a pair of nice pad stops, including one on Evgeni Malkin. However, the team in front of him started sloppy with bad passing and inefficient neutral zone play.

WASHINGTON — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide Tuesday because of a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop for the airline. The order, which prevented planes from taking off, was issued at the airline's request. The airline said in an email that the problem was caused by trouble with vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. An American Airlines employee wearing looks toward quiet check-in counters Tuesday in the American terminal at Miami International Airport in Miami. Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots, said the airline told pilots at 7 a.m. Eastern that there was an outage affecting the system known as FOS. It handles different types of airline operations, including dispatch, flight planning, passenger boarding, as well as an airplane's weight and balance data, he said. Some components of FOS have gone down in the past, but a systemwide outage is rare, Tajer said. Flights were delayed across American's major hubs, with only 37% leaving on time, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. Out of the 3,901 domestic and international American Airlines flights scheduled for Tuesday, 19 were canceled. Cirium noted that the vast majority of flights departed within two hours of their scheduled departure time. A similar percentage — 36% — arrived at their destinations as scheduled. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 3,712 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed Tuesday, with 55 flights canceled. It did not show any flights from American Airlines. Cirium said Dallas-Fort Worth, New York's Kennedy Airport and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays. Washington, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Travelers wait in line for security checks Tuesday at the Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles. Amid the travel problems, significant rain and snow were expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow fell in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. Any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have "interline agreements" that let them put stranded customers on another carrier's flights. An American Airlines employee wearing a Santa Claus hat walks through the American terminal Tuesday at Miami International Airport in Miami. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers an automatic cash refund for a canceled or significantly delayed flight. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. Finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. An American spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline had somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. American Airlines employees check in travelers Tuesday in the American terminal at Miami International Airport in Miami. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations more disruptive than during slower periods. Even with just a brief outage, the cancellations have a cascading effect that can take days to clear up. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. "Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday," AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation's highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic. "It's not the destination, it's the journey," said American essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph clearly was not among the travellers on one of more than 350 cancelled or 1,400 delayed flights after a worldwide tech outage caused by an update to Crowdstrike's "Falcon Sensor" software in July of 2023. U.S. airlines carried nearly 863 million travellers in 2023, with Canadian carriers accounting for another 150 million, many of whom experienced lost luggage, flight delays, cancellations, or were bumped off their flights. It's unclear how many of them were compensated for these inconveniences. Suffice it to say, posting a crabby rant on social media might temporarily soothe anger, but it won't put wasted money back in pockets. Money.ca shares what to know in order to be compensated for the three most common air travel headaches. Bags elected to go on a vacay without you? Check off the following: If you expect a large payout, think again. Tariffs (air carrier contracts) limit the compensation amounts for "loss of, damage to, or the delay in delivery of baggage or other personal property." In the case of Air Canada, the maximum payout is $1,500 per passenger in the currency of the country where the baggage was processed. To raise that limit, purchase a Declaration of Higher Value for each leg of the trip. The charge is $0.50 for each $100, in which case the payout limit is $2,500. For Delta Air Lines, passengers are entitled to up to $3,800 in baggage compensation, though how much you'll receive depends on your flight. Delta will pay up to $2,080 for delayed, lost, and damaged baggage for international travellers, almost half of what U.S. domestic passengers can claim. If your flight is marked delayed for more than 30 minutes, approach the gate agent and politely request food and hotel vouchers to be used within the airport or nearby. Different air carriers and jurisdictions have their own compensation policies when flights are delayed or cancelled. For example, under European Union rules, passengers may receive up to 600 Euros, even when travelling on a non-EU carrier. Similarly, the DOT states that travellers are entitled to a refund "if the airline cancelled a flight, regardless of the reason, and the consumer chooses not to travel." However, US rules regarding delays are complicated. Some air carriers, such as Air Canada, do not guarantee their flight schedules. They're also not liable for cancellations or changes due to "force majeure" such as weather conditions or labour disruptions. If the delay is overnight, only out-of-town passengers will be offered hotel accommodation. Nevertheless, many airlines do offer some compensation for the inconvenience. If your flight is marked delayed for more than 30 minutes, approach the gate agent and politely request food and hotel vouchers to be used within the airport or nearby. In terms of cash compensation, what you'll get can differ significantly based on things like departure location, time, carrier, and ticket class. The DOT offers a helpful delay and cancellations dashboard designed to keep travellers informed about their compensation rights. The dashboard is particularly helpful because, as the DOT states on its website, "whether you are entitled to a refund depends on a lot of factors—such as the length of the delay, the length of the flight, and your particular circumstances." The Canadian Transportation Agency is proposing air passenger protection regulations that guarantee financial compensation to travellers experiencing flight delays and cancellations, with the level of compensation varying depending on the situation and how much control the air carrier had. The proposed regulations include the following: The airline is obligated to complete the passenger's itinerary. If the new ticket is for a lower class of service, the air carrier would have to refund the cost difference; if the booking is in a higher class of service, passengers cannot be charged extra. If the passenger declines the ticket, the airline must give a full refund, in addition to the prescribed compensation. For overnight delays, the air carrier needs to provide hotel accommodation and transportation free-of-charge. Again, if you are unsatisfied, the Canadian Transportation Agency or Department of Transportation may advocate on your behalf. Passengers get bumped because airlines overbook. When this happens, the air carrier must compensate you. For international flights in the US, the rate is 200% of your one-way fare to your final destination, with a $675 maximum. If the airline does not make travel arrangements for you, the payout is 400% of your one-way fare to a maximum of $1,350. To qualify, you must check-in by the stated deadline, which on international flights can be up to 3 hours ahead. Keep in mind that if you accept the cash, you are no longer entitled to any further compensation, nor are you guaranteed to be rebooked on a direct flight or similar type of seat. Don't be too quick to give up your boarding pass. Negotiate for the best compensation deal that would include cash, food and hotel vouchers, flight upgrade, lounge passes, as well as mileage points. But avoid being too greedy—if the gate attendant is requesting volunteers and you wait too long, you'll miss the offer. According to Air Canada's tariff, if a passenger is involuntarily bumped, they'll receive $200, in cash or bank draft, for up to a two-hour delay; $400 for a 2-6 hours delay; and $800 if the delay is over six hours. (Air Canada was forced to raise its payouts in 2013 due to passenger complaints.) The new rules would raise the payout significantly: $900 for up to six hours; $1,800 for 6-9; and $2,400 for more than nine hours, all to be paid within 48 hours. Statistically speaking, Delta Airlines is the carrier most likely to bump. A few years ago, Delta raised its payout maximum to $9,950, while United Airlines tops out at $10,000.

Syrian government services come to ‘complete halt’ as workers stay at home
Coal and gas-fired power plants will stay open for longer under the coalition's $330 billion nuclear transition plan. or signup to continue reading Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has pledged to build seven publicly-owned nuclear power plants across the country, with predictions the first will come online from the mid-to-late 2030s - a timeline rubbished by some experts. Renewables would make up just over half of Australia's energy grid by 2050, with nuclear accounting for just under 40 per cent and the rest a combination of storage and gas, snippets of the plan dropped ahead of its release contend. Labor's plan is to have the grid firmed by just over 80 per cent renewable energy by 2030. This will increase to more than 90 per cent by 2050 with the rest made up of storage and gas. Nuclear energy would provide the "always-on" power to back up renewables and lead to cheaper power bills in the long run, Mr Dutton claimed. But nuclear energy does not offer a good deal for Australia, a report released just ahead of Mr Dutton unveiling his costings found, while postponing coal power station closures would heighten Australia's carbon emissions in the medium term. For the seventh straight year, the found renewable energy sources are the lowest-cost of any new-build electricity-generating technology. Nuclear energy generation would be 1.5 to two times more expensive than large-scale solar, according to the analysis by the national science agency CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator. Energy market operators would also need to establish new connection points to safely supply the national electricity grid, experts have said. The coalition's plan was modelled by Frontier Economics, which cost Labor's transition around $600 billion. Energy Minister Chris Bowen has rubbished this number, saying the government's plan would cost $122 billion, citing a forecast made by the national energy grid operator. "They're making it up as they go along," Mr Bowen told ABC TV of the coalition's costings on Friday. Mr Bowen said preliminary reports of the coalition's plan ahead of Friday's full announcement that nuclear would need fewer transmission lines - therefore bringing down the estimated cost - was incorrect. "I'm not sure how they'll get the nuclear power into the grid, maybe by carrier pigeon if they're going to assert if somehow you'll need less transmission," he said. "They have had to make some very heroic assumptions here and they have had to really stretch the truth to try to get some very dodgy figures." Keeping coal-fired power plants open beyond their lifespan was a threat to energy reliability, with outages and breakdowns happening on a daily basis, Mr Bowen said. "It's a recipe for blackouts to keep ageing coal-fired power stations in the grid for longer," he said. The coalition is pushing for an end to Australia's nuclear ban but has faced opposition from states. Nuclear power doesn't stack up for Australian families or businesses, Fortescue chairman Andrew Forrest said on Friday. "As our national science agency has shown, 'firmed' solar and wind are the cheapest new electricity options for all Australians," he said in a statement. "The cost of electricity generated on a grid dominated by firmed renewable energy in 2030 will be half what you would have to pay if it came from nuclear, CSIRO found." Mr Forrest, who is a big player in the non-fossil fuels energy market, said that without continued action on "low-cost, high-efficiency renewable energy" Australians will be left with "pricier power and crumbling coal stations". "We must never forget - Australia has the best renewable resources in the world," he added. "Seizing these Australian opportunities must be our shared national goal."

Siraj was fined 20 per cent of his match fee after being found to have breached article 2.5 of the code, which relates to 'using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal'. In addition, one demerit point was added to Siraj's disciplinary record, the ICC said in a statement. Head was reprimanded after he was was found to have breached article 2.13 of the code, which relates to the 'abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee'. One demerit point has been added to Head's disciplinary record. The incident unfolded when Siraj bowled Head for 140 in Australia 's first innings at the Adelaide Oval, and the pair exchanged heated words. Siraj also pointed Head towards the dressing rooms. The pair made up, to a degree, after the match. Australian batter Travis Head (pictured) and Indian quick Mohammed Siraj have been found guilty of breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC) code of conduct following their verbal spat during the second Test in Adelaide The incident occurred when Siraj bowled Head for 140 in Australia's first innings at the Adelaide Oval, and the pair exchanged heated words Australian Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj of India shake hands at the conclusion of the second Test at Adelaide Oval It was the first offence for both players in a 24-month period. If a player reaches four or more demerit points in such a period, those points are converted into suspension points and the player is banned. Two suspension points equate to a ban for one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whichever might come first. 'Siraj and Head admitted their respective offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by (match referee) Ranjan Madugalle ... and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing,' the ICC statement said. On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth umpire, Phillip Gillespie levelled the charges. The verdict came hours after Australia quick Josh Hazlewood called Siraj a 'good character'. Siraj became public enemy No.1 at the Adelaide Oval following the clash, with the crowd booing him for the rest of the Test. The 30-year-old had already drawn the ire of Australia's fans on Friday night when he aggressively threw the ball back at Marnus Labuschagne when the No.3 had pulled away from a delivery when a man holding a tower of beer cups had walked into his eye line. Hazlewood, who missed the Test with a side strain, has played with Siraj in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers Bangalore. 'I really enjoyed my time at RCB with him,' Hazlewood said. 'He's probably the leader of the attack there, to a degree. 'He's another one who's a bit like Virat (Kohli), very passionate, goes with the flow of the game, gets the crowd up. '(He has) bowled serious spells in the IPL in the last few years. 'He's just a good character and it's good to see sometimes.'
