ईरान ने 2015 न्यूक डील में तय सीमा को तोड़ा
ईरान 2015 में हुए परमाणु समझौते को तोड़ने की दिशा में आगे बढ़ता दिख रहा है। स्थानीय मीडिया के अनुसार, उसने समझौते में यूरेनियम संवर्धन के तय किए गए कैप को तोड़ दिया और इसका यूरेनियम संवर्धन 4.5 प्रतिशत के पार पहुंच गया। उल्लेखनीय है कि 2015 में संयुक्त राष्ट्र सुरक्षा परिषद के स्थायी सदस्यों (पी5), जर्मनी और यूरोपीय संघ के साथ ईरान की डील हुई थी

पर्यावरण में घुले प्लास्टिक के सूक्ष्म कण खतरनाक
प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण की समस्या पूरे विश्व के लिए एक बड़ी पर्यावरणीय चिंता बनकर उभर रही है। पर्यावरण में घुले प्लास्टिक के सूक्ष्म कण मनुष्य के शरीर के भीतर पहुंचकर उन्हें नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं। दुनिया भर में हर साल 400 मिलियन (लगभग 4 करोड़) टन से अधिक प्लास्टिक का उत्पादन होता है। सौंदर्य प्रसाधन, खाद्य पैकेजिंग, बर्तन आदि जैसे उद्योगों के जरिए भी प्लास्टिक हमारे शरीर में पहुंच कर नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं।

Vertical steep dive version of Brahmos
India has successfully test-fired a vertical deep dive version of the indigenous BrahMos supersonic missile. The upgraded version of the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile with an enhanced range of up to 500 km is also ready. It was possible to increase the range of this missile since India was now a part of the elite Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).

First ever atmosphere of a midsize exo-planet
In a first, scientists have identified the detailed chemical “fingerprint” of a planet between the sizes of Earth and Neptune to uncover clues about its nature and origin, using NASA’s Sptitzer and Hubble space telescopes. No planets like this can be found in our own solar system, but they are common around other stars.

The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)
GS Paper - 3 (Economy)
After Hindenburg, the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has made fresh allegations of stock manipulation against the Adani Group. OCCRP’s report, published, claims that exclusive documents obtained by it show that “in at least two cases … [supposedly public] investors turn out to have widely reported ties to the group’s majority shareholders, the Adani family”, and helped manipulate Adani companies’ stock prices. The Adani Group has categorically rejected these allegations, terming them as a “concerted bid by Soros-funded interests” to “revive the meritless Hindenburg report”.
A global network of investigative reporters
OCCRP wasn’t really planned – it was born of necessity. We were all working on the same intractable problems in our own countries. But a couple of us realised this, and communicated. This is a quote from one of OCCRP’s co-founders, Drew Sullivan.
American Sullivan and Bulgarian Paul Radu, both investigative journalists, founded OCCRP in 2006, after they realised the similarities in their experiences of investigating and reporting on organised crime and systemic corruption.
Initially funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF), the OCCRP network first opened an office in Sarajevo.
Over the years, the OCCRP has grown from six journalists working in five countries to more than 150 journalists in 30 countries.
The idea is to have a global network of journalists with easy communication and information-sharing so that global networks of corruption and crime can be better understood and exposed.
The OCCRP also collaborates with regional partners, including Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), Centro Latino Americano de Investigacion Periodistica (CLIP), and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). It is a member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network as well.
Impact over the years
As per its own records, since 2009 reporting by the OCCRP has directly led to 398 official investigations, 621 arrests and sentences, 131 resignations, and $10 billion+ in fines levied and money seized.
It has been involved in many high-profile probes over the years, including multiple investigations on Russia’s oligarchs and Vladimir Putin.
The OCCRP also worked on the Panama Papers project with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, producing more than 40 stories on corruption through the use of offshore entities, which won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize Journalism.
The organisation has been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for its work “contributing to peace by unmasking political corruption and organized crime.”
