CANNES, France — A year after 82 women protested en masse on the red carpet, the Cannes Film Festival on Monday defended its record on female filmmakers and for the first time divulged data on its selection process.Addressing reporters on the eve of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, Thierry Fremaux spoke at length, both touting the festival’s strides in gender parity and bristling at what he described as Cannes’ being held to an impossible standard.Issues of gender equality have resonated particularly in Cannes, where only one female filmmaker (Jane Campion, in 1993 for “The Piano”) has ever won the festival’s top award, the Palme d’Or, and where women directors have never numbered more than four in the main slate of approximately 20 films. Not wearing high heels has even, as recently as four years ago, been a reason for denying entry to a premiere.Cannes is also where Harvey Weinstein for decades was a prominent regular. At the festival’s closing ceremony last May, Italian filmmaker Asia Argento declared on the stage: “In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes. I was 21-years-old. This festival was his hunting ground.” (Weinstein has denied the encounter was rape.)Following pressure by 50/50×2020, the French sister group to Time’s Up, Fremaux last May signed a pledge — with Cate Blanchett, Ava DuVernay and others looking on — promising to make the festival’s selection process more transparent and to push their executive boards toward gender parity.This year, Cannes’s selection committee was 50 per cent female for the first time. On the recommendation of 50/50X2020, the festival created a space for nursing mothers, which it dubbed Le Ballon Rouge. And four films directed by women were selected for competition, matching the previous record set in 2011.Cannes on Monday offered a dose of transparency on its selection process, including who sat on the selection committee. That, too, had been a suggestion of 50/50X2020. The festival said that it received 1,845 feature film submissions from 39 countries, 26% were directed by women. Its official selection of 69 films, both features and shorts, included 19 films directed by women, or 27.5%.Still, some have said Cannes isn’t progressing coming quickly enough, noting that it trails parity rates of other major festivals, including recent editions of Berlin, Sundance and Toronto. For the second time in two years, Fremaux held a press conference defending Cannes from its critics, the day before Jim Jarmusch’s “The Dead Don’t Die” will open the festival.“When we signed this charter, the idea was never that the selection would be based on gender parity,” Fremaux said Monday. “All the films in the official selection — and there are 15 women directors in all, 20 if you add the shorts — all these films are there because in our view as the people who selected the films, they really deserve to have been selected.”“There have never been so many women directors in the official selection because there have never been so many women directors in the industry as a whole,” said Fremaux.Cannes, Fremaux said, is criticized in a way that other festivals and social organizations are not.“The Cannes Film Festival has to be impeccable and absolutely perfect. Of course we try to be perfect,” said Fremaux. “No one has asked me to have 50% of films made by women. That would show a lack of respect.”50/50X2020 said it will review the findings in a press conference in Cannes on Friday.This year’s festival has also attracted some backlash to its selections. In competition is Abdellatif Kechiche, whose “Blue Is the Warmest Color” won the Palme d’Or in 2013. In October, Paris authorities launched an investigation into a sexual assault allegation against the director. Kechiche has denied it.The decision to give Alain Delon, the 83-year-old French acting legend of “Le Samourai” and “The Leopard,” an honorary Palme d’Or prompted an online petition against it. Deon has acknowledged slapping women in the past and said he opposes the adoption of children by same-sex parents.Fremaux said Delon comes from another generation and that he’s free to express his views, whatever they are.“We’re not giving Alain Delon the Nobel Peace Prize,” said Fremaux.Last year’s demonstration by 82 women formed one of the most striking images of the Cannes Film Festival when they stood together in a demonstration on the festival’s red carpet steps. One of the leaders of that protest was Agnes Varda, the French New Wave pioneer who died in March at age 90.This year’s festival poster is a picture of Varda, who was given an honorary Palme d’Or in 2015, shooting her debut feature, 1955’s “La Pointe Courte,” peering through the lens of a raised camera while standing on the back of a man.___Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAPJake Coyle, The Associated Press Police officers walk by the Palais des festivals at the 72nd international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Monday, May 13, 2019.

Top NewsThe year 2010 is etched in the memories of Pakistan cricketers as one that will always be associated with painful memories The summer of that year saw three of Pakistan’s top cricketers banned due to involvement in a shameful spot-fixing scandal which threatened the very existence of the game in the country Apart from the almost irreparable loss to the country’s reputation the long-term effects of this episode would always place Pakistan’s cricketers under extraordinary scrutiny With the expiry of the five-year ban on all three cricketers and the return of Mohammad Amir to the international squad there was a general feeling that Pakistan cricket had turned a new leaf and left behind a terrible saga It was also widely understood that lessons learnt from this episode had been digested and adequate steps taken to ensure that future generations of Pakistani players would not veer off the prescribed path File photos of Khalid Latif (L) and Sharjeel Khan (R) AFP and PSL It is in this context where the current spate of allegations against some promising cricketers involved in the ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been a tough pill to swallow for followers and administrators alike For the followers of the game that hollow feeling inside of deja vu that accompanied the revelations that Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif had been suspended and sent back home due to alleged involvement in corruption would have been like a nightmare come true — again The pain of watching Sharjeel who has shown so much promise since his hundred in the keenly contested final of the inaugural edition of the PSL now facing a potentially career-threatening disruption would be a tough one to bear The emergence of the PSL after years of false starts and deliberations was considered a fantastic achievement for an organisation like the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) who had hitherto been lambasted and ridiculed for its inability to move with the times Whilst many other nations created their own brands of the vastly entertaining and lucrative Twenty20 Leagues the Pakistan set-up struggled to make any headway in this direction The inability to host international players and teams on home soil accompanied by the general inertia in the organisation meant that the birth of the PSL was always going to be a problematic process All that changed in 2016 when the PCB stepped up to the plate and launched the PSL with success which surprised many naysayers and supporters alike A total of five teams participated in hotly-contested games with Islamabad United under the leadership of Misbah-ul-Haq emerging as the unlikely winners The PSL brand was thus accepted and widely recognised by fans and many international players and those interested in Pakistan cricket The feeling that the PSL was possibly the best and most positive development in Pakistan’s recent cricket history was one that was shared by many The feeling of euphoria and hope continued to the start of the next season of the PSL in 2017 with a bigger and better tournament planned and promised The tournament kicking off with a spectacular opening ceremony which left the nation breathless with anticipation of the fine quality of cricket to come in the next few weeks However the let-down at the start of the second tournament due to the allegations against the two Islamabad players thus were truly heart-wrenching for those who had put so much faith in the emergence of the PSL as a route through which promising future talents would emerge for a better future For the PCB the news of any corruption related activity is unwelcome but in a strange way their involvement in this issue from the start of the crisis does show an organisation which is capable of performing its duties with a high degree of professionalism The fact that it was the PCB who first announced the investigation and also acted in a decisive manner to take control of the situation does bode well for the future Unlike the past where there would have been an effort to brush the issue under the carpet the PCB acted with confidence and stemmed the rot before media organisations took over and speculated If that had been allowed as in the case of the 2010 fiasco then the results would have been significantly different with the future of the PSL brand under extreme distress The handling of the current situation in such circumstances has been excellent but the PCB will have also realized that they are now faced with a no-win situation if and unless the focus of the tournament is firmly returned back onto the cricket itself In this regard the resumption of games and a business as usual attitude being displayed in the tournament is worth praising There is no doubt that the monster of corruption seems to have raised its ugly head once again This is something that no Pakistan fan or supporter would have wanted to hear again but now that it has happened it is down to the PCB and its management team to ensure that the matter is brought to a swift close The PCB needs to come down hard on any offenders make an example of them nip this in the bud and handle the issue with the urgency and importance it requires Saj Sadiq is a freelance writer and chief editor of Pakistan cricket website PakPassion He tweets at @Saj_PakPassion New Delhi:The Trump administration’s decision to pull out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement on Friday drew global criticism from environmental advocates who said India China and the European Union (EU) will now lead the battle against climate change The secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) the foundational agreement under which the Paris accord was negotiated clarified that the pact "cannot be re-negotiated based on the request of a single party" Citizens protest against US president Donald Trump’s decision to exit the Paris Climate Agreement in Berlin AP The US move to leave the Paris agreement will not stop its incredible momentum UN Environment chief Erik Solheim said He said China India the European Union and others were already showing strong leadership Committing to climate action means helping countries like Iraq and Somalia on the frontline of extremism and terrorism he said "It means helping coastal communities from Louisiana to the Solomon Islands" Under the Paris Agreement all nations have agreed to combat climate change and to unleash actions and investment towards a low carbon resilient and sustainable future that will keep a global average temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius with the accepted international aim of working to limit it to 15 degrees Celsius The UNFCCC said "it stands ready to engage in dialogue with the US regarding the implications of this announcement" European Union Climate Action and Energy Commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said the Trump announcement had galvanized the world rather than weaken it "The world can continue to count on Europe for global leadership in the fight against climate change The EU will strengthen its existing partnerships and seek new alliances from the world’s largest economies to the most vulnerable island states "This vacuum will be filled by new broad committed leadership Europe and its strong partners all around the world are ready to lead the way We will work together to face one of the most compelling challenges of our time" Canete added For Fijian prime minister and incoming President of Conference of the Parties (COP 23) Frank Bainimarama the decision disappointed everyone especially the climate vulnerable nations He said he was especially encouraged by the commitment shown by China India the European Union Canada Mexico and the vast majority of other nations to lower emissions President Donald Trump speaks about the US role in the Paris climate accord on Thursday AP "They will continue to lead this process with or without the support of the Trump administration but with the knowledge and assurance that many ordinary Americans support participation in the Paris Agreement" Tim Buckley of the US-based Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis foresees India and China as leaders to lead the world towards a low-carbon economy – a step towards achieving the 2015 Paris pact aim of cutting greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels "We view China and India as the two most important countries globally in terms of momentum in energy market transformation Both are achieving economic growth rate of more than double of the US; and both are looking to show global leadership in terms of clean energy technology deployment investment and financial capital" he said UNEP executive director Solheim had previously said climate action would continue in the US even if Washington withdraws "There is the US private sector Companies like Google Microsoft Apple Walmart and Tesla are true global leaders when it comes to bringing down their carbon footprints Even coal and oil companies are stepping up their shift to renewables They are doing so because it’s sound business and they want to remain competitive globally" he told IANS "China and India do not depend on the US — nor any other country — to set their own policies "And what we are seeing at the moment is significant steps from both Beijing and New Delhi to put their economies on a path of sustainable inclusive and low-carbon growth because it makes perfect strategic and business sense to do so" Written by Express News Service | Published: August 28 2012 3:33 am Related

however had refused a similar relief to Purohit The apex court had on 5 May also sought a response from the NIA and the Maharashtra government on the plea of Purohit seeking bail On 29 September 2008 even people were killed in a bomb blast at Malegaon a communally-sensitive textile town in Nasik district of north Maharashtra A special MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) court had earlier ruled that the ATShad wrongly applied this law against Thakur Purohit and nine others The 4000-page charge sheet had alleged that Malegaon was selected as the blast target because of its sizeable Muslim population Thakur Purohit and co-accused Swami Dayanand Pandey were named as the key conspirators The charge sheet had alleged Pandey had instructed Purohit to arrange explosive RDX while Thakur owned the motorcycle which was used in the blast With inputs from PTI By Sanjeev Nayar Many of those who opposed the hanging of Yakub Menon for his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts also suggest that the blasts were linked to the riots that preceded them Justice for the blasts is one thing but what about justice for the victims of the riots This article seeks to share insights and put things in perspective The two events cannot be seen as direct cause and effect for there were other independent developments that made the whole situation combustible Sharad Pawar was Chief Minister of Maharashtra till June 1991 after which he became Defence Minister in the Narasimha Rao government Pawar wanted a trusted successor and so Sudhakarrao Naik was made CM In 1992 former Deputy Municipal Commissioner GR Khairnar had started demolitions of illegal structures many of which belonged to the underworld in the Muslim-dominated areas of South Mumbai Around the same time the Mumbai Police took action against criminals some of whom were Muslims Screenshot of Hindustan Times’ coverage of the riots Such demolitions were unheard of till then or even subsequently but Naik had a mind of his own After 6 December 1992 Muslims were angry about another demolition – that of the Babri Masjid This offered the perfect setting for pent-up anger to surface and disturb political equations First there were protests against the demolition of the masjid Those who were affected by the demolition of illegal structures in the city added fuel to the fire Later even criminal elements got involved When faced with an aggressive and violent mob during a riot the police tend to fire at some point They do not always follow the normal sequence of lathi charge tear gas and then fire Since the mobs were comprised Muslims the casualties were mainly Muslim The violence in December 1992 involved the police and Muslims Some of the headlines and newspaper stories of that time read like this: "Two Constables in Deonar jurisdiction were killed with choppers and swords by rampaging Muslims mobs One constable was done to death in Byculla jurisdiction" On 7th December 1992 three police personnel were killed and 216 injured It is clear that some of the protests were violent In this context the issue was this: when faced with violent protestors who were damaging public property should the police be passive bystanders and run for their lives as they did in August 2012 during the Azad Maidan protests and violence or take appropriate action “It was sheer luck that we were able to rescue the policemen from the vans The mob had locked them in and was not allowing them to come out” a senior police officer told The Hindu about mob violence in August 2012 Returning to 1992 the Shiv Sena began protests against the holding of namaz on streets and the use of loud-speakers for azaan It started Maha-artis from 26 December 1992 and though these incidents were not violent they added to communal tension It is also worth recalling the 2005 Supreme Court order on the use of loud-speakers beyond specific decibel levels and their non-use before 6am But to date there does not seem to have been any concerted effort to seek compliance with the order But in 1992-93 these too were reasons for communal tensions Back to 1992 As the Maha-artis continued on 5 January 1993 five Mathadi workers (loaders) were stabbed to death allegedly by Feroze Konkani who is supposed to have fled to Pakistan (Note: he was arrested in 1995 for the murder of BJP’s Ramdas Nayak) On 8 January some Hindu homes at Radhabai Chawl (in a predominantly Muslim basti) in Jogeshwari were set on fire One male and five female members of a family (the Banes) were charred to death The late Varsha Bhonsle wrote: "Six witnesses declared that the attackers stood around shouting "Allah-o-Akbar" and fled only when they heard the police sirens The Supreme Court acquitted 11 Muslims who were earlier convicted by the special TADA judge for the murder of six Hindus in the Radhabai Chawl case Abu Azmi paid for most of the legal expenses and advocate Majeed Memon filed the petition in SC" When six people were burnt alive surely someone must have been responsible for the hideous crime Or can it be said that the Bane family set themselves on fire to provoke Hindu-Muslim riots Screenshot of Hindustan Times’ coverage of the riots The Congress-run state government cited three reasons for the Mumbai riots "One is stabbing of two Mathadi workers Two is killing of 37 people following 138 cases of stabbing in 48 hours after 6 January Three is burning to death of four members in Radhabhai Chawl on January 8 Though the Maharashtra government has not said so a clear inference which can be drawn from the incidents mentioned is that the attacks by Muslims provoked the riots" (excerpts from The Times of India 19 February 1993) It is only after the incidents of 5 and 8 January that the rioting got worse and there was massive involvement of Hindu groups The final death count in the Mumbai riots was 275 Hindus 575 Muslims and 50 others including unknowns The causes of death were police firing 356 stabbing 347 arson 91 mob action 80 private firing 22 and others 4 Prime Minister Narasimha Rao probably watched the situation unfold but was probably too busy warding off Pawar who wanted to become PM Did infighting in the Congress contribute to the high casualty rate in the 1993 riots The Sunday Observer wrote this on 10 January 1993 quoting the then AICC general secretary Janardhan Poojary: "The assertion by AICC general secretary in Hyderabad today that the Bombay riots were (be)cause of infighting within the Maharashtra unit of the party is being echoed by senior Congressmen here According to a UNI report Poojari said that ‘some disgruntled elements within the Congress’ were fanning communal violence in order to seek removal of CM Naik" It was in this context that the Mumbai blasts took place in March 1993 Rao used the blasts to send Sharad Pawar back to Maharashtra as CM – and saviour The situation in Mumbai quickly returned to where it was prior to his departure in 1991 To conclude it is not quite correct to say that the communal riots of 1992 and early 1993 were largely about targeting Muslims though they certainly lost more lives Two the demolition of illegal structures in Mumbai and the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya and Congress infighting played a role in making the riots worse than they should have been Three violence by Muslims began in December 1992 The Hindu attacks commenced in January 1993 after the Mathadi and Radhabai chawl killings Four 40 percent of the deaths were caused by police firing Those the survivors of the riots are still seeking justice but one cannot justify the 1993 blasts using this as pretext The author is an independent columnist New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside the Gujarat High Court order asking the state government to pay for the reconstruction and repair work of religious structures damaged during the 2002 post-Godhra riots Representational image AP The court accepted the scheme formulated by the state government to provide "ex gratia assistance" of up to Rs 50000 to all religious places including mosques and temples which were damaged or destroyed during the communal riots on par with the relief granted for destruction of houses A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Prafulla C Pant referred to apex court verdicts and Article 27 of the Constitution (freedom as to payment of taxes for promotion of a particular religion) and said that substantial part of tax payers’ money cannot be granted for repairing religious structures "The said scheme has to be appreciated on the anvil of the directions issued in the Prafull Goradia and Archbishop Raphael Cheenath SVD cases (earlier judgements) "In the first case the two-judge bench has opined that object of Article 27 is to maintain secularism and the said Article would be violated if the substantial part of entire income tax collected in India or a substantial part of the entire central excise or the customs duties or
