[00:02:12] And Iran warned Gulf countries,
[00:02:20] if America attacks, energy facilities will be targeted,
[00:02:23] while agreement with Oman on Hormuz is in final stage.
[00:02:27] And now let's know about all these news in detail.
[00:02:34] Many important bills are listed in both houses of Parliament today. In Lok Sabha,
[00:02:37] a discussion is to be held today on the Finance Bill,
[00:02:41] Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill 2026.
[00:02:45] The objective of the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill is to make India a more
[00:02:49] attractive and reliable place for global capital,
[00:02:52] manufacturing and business. Along with this, through the bill,
[00:02:55] tax and many rules and procedures will be simplified
[00:02:59] so that foreign investment is promoted.
[00:03:02] Meanwhile,
[00:03:09] pending bills will be discussed in Rajya Sabha today. Finance Minister
[00:03:13] Nirmala Sitharaman will introduce a bill to authorize the appropriation of funds from the Consolidated Fund of India
[00:03:16] to meet the excess expenditure over granted
[00:03:20] services during the financial year ended March 31, 2023.
[00:03:24] The Lok Sabha has already passed
[00:03:27] this bill, and she will present a proposal
[00:03:30] for its consideration.
[00:03:32] In the matter of the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post,
[00:03:39] what corrective the central government will again
[00:03:42] interrogate Meta's global officials today.
[00:03:45] This meeting is taking place at a time when yesterday Meta's
[00:03:49] CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for this incident,
[00:03:53] including child sexual abuse material, deepfakes and
[00:03:56] lapses in platform operations. According to sources,
[00:04:00] today's meeting will be attended by IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw,
[00:04:03] senior officials of the Ministry of Electronics and Information
[00:04:06] the legacy of knowledge Technology and Meta's technical team. The government will seek
[00:04:08] detailed answers from the company on issues such as content moderation,
[00:04:12] monitoring of AI-generated content, action on child sexual abuse material
[00:04:15] and removal of content from verified accounts.
[00:04:19] IT Secretary S. Krishna said that the government wants to understand
[00:04:22] why some of Meta's systems are not working as expected
[00:04:26] and what steps the company
[00:04:28] Due to rains, the underpass was filled with is taking to prevent such incidents in the future.
[00:04:32] He said,
[00:04:35] to visit the holy cave there should be adequate safeguards in cases of verified
[00:04:37] accounts of public figures. According to government sources,
[00:04:41] Meta officials admitted that some content was promoted
[00:04:44] for money and also expressed regret over it.
[00:04:48] The government made it clear to the company that it cannot evade responsibility
[00:04:51] by claiming to be merely an intermediary. Sources say
[00:04:55] that due to its active role in content distribution and
[00:04:58] promotion, the safe harbor protection available under IT law
[00:05:02] will not be automatically applicable. This entire
[00:05:06] controversy started when a Facebook post by the Prime Minister
[00:05:10] was temporarily removed
[00:05:13] Meta called this a technical error,
[00:05:17] restored the post and also apologized, but the government
[00:05:20] did not consider this explanation sufficient.
[00:05:23] After this, top global officials of Meta were summoned and now
[00:05:27] in the second round of meeting today, the government will have a detailed discussion
[00:05:31] with the company on accountability and corrective
[00:05:34] measures.
[00:05:35] So Shailendra, our correspondent, is present on the phone line.
[00:05:49] Shailendra, Meta officials have been summoned again, so how will Meta officials
[00:05:52] present their case today to establish their accountability
[00:05:56] there? We know that Meta's CEO
[00:05:59] has apologized and admitted the mistake.
[00:06:03] Now the question is what will be the next step
[00:06:07] if social media platforms do not follow IT rules,
[00:06:10] or if they delay
[00:06:12] or neglect them,
[00:06:16] because we know that Meta has also said
[00:06:20] in its apology that some specific
[00:06:23] types of content were promoted and we know
[00:06:26] that Meta also takes some
[00:06:30] money under its policies. It has also come to light
[00:06:33] that there are allegations that many such
[00:06:36] contents were deliberately promoted
[00:06:40] on Meta's social media platforms, so these questions become serious.
[00:06:44] So now we have to see what Meta officials say
[00:06:47] next, because the IT Ministry has made it very
[00:06:51] clear that social media platforms
[00:06:55] do not have the immunity under IT rules
[00:06:59] that we always talk about, that because they are intermediaries,
[00:07:02] they have an immunity.
[00:07:05] Yes, absolutely, I was telling
[00:07:08] that it is very challenging for companies to answer
[00:07:43] these issues that have been raised, because Meta officials
[00:07:46] have apologized for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's video
[00:07:50] being accidentally removed, Meta's CEO has
[00:07:53] apologized and has also expressed regret over
[00:07:57] some other allegations. So now this question becomes very serious
[00:08:01] whether any video that is posted to disturb
[00:08:04] public order was promoted
[00:08:08] by Meta's platform? Now this question also arises
[00:08:12] and that is why in the parliamentary committee,
[00:08:15] we saw that the members unanimously said that social media platforms
[00:08:19] will have to tell what their internal mechanism
[00:08:23] is like, what system they work on
[00:08:27] and some members also raised the point that they do not promote
[00:08:30] anti-India content. Now when Meta is
[00:08:34] somehow admitting that it promoted
[00:08:37] some specific type of content, now this question
[00:08:41] becomes even more serious. So now we have to see
[00:08:45] what Meta officials say in the next round
[00:08:48] of talks,
[00:08:51] measures are taken,
[00:08:55] so we will keep an eye on this because we are seeing that one after another case
[00:08:59] is coming up, in the case of children,
[00:09:03] in the case of objectionable posts related to them, Meta has already
[00:09:06] apologized, but what step will it take next so that
[00:09:10] there is no such objectionable post against women.
[00:09:42] Facebook, Whatsapp or Twitter, which is now known
[00:09:46] as X, and Snapchat and
[00:09:50] all the other social media platforms, if any post is made on them
[00:09:53] and that post is quite objectionable or is deliberately made
[00:09:57] to damage someone's image, then a case is registered against the people who post it,
[00:10:01] action is taken against them, a complaint is lodged against them.
[00:10:05] Social media companies claiming
[00:10:09] do not have any case against their officials.
[00:10:13] And this is safe harbor, meaning they have a protection
[00:10:16] to do business that people post their views through
[00:10:20] people's accounts on these platforms, but these companies or
[00:10:24] these platforms are not responsible for what they post. If this protection is removed,
[00:10:27] then it will be very difficult for these companies to work
[00:10:31] and in a way, their responsibility will increase greatly and
[00:10:35] they will have to make big changes in their internal system
[00:10:39] and their future way of working will be questioned,
[00:10:42] and that is why we know that this matter is very serious
[00:10:46] and that is why the issue is being raised again and again that why should they be given such protection
[00:10:50] when public order is being disturbed by all these posts from social media content.
[00:10:54] Okay, keep an eye on it. The government's eye is clearly on Meta.
[00:10:57] Thank you very much, Shailendra, for sharing all this information
[00:11:00] with us, and for now, it's time for a short break.
[00:11:04] Keep watching
[00:11:05] DD News.

[00:15:18] In Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh,

[00:15:27] about 100 years old amidst continuous rains,
[00:15:31] while one youth was seriously injured. The accident happened late at night

[00:16:30] to live up to it. As a minister of the Panchayati Raj department,
[00:16:33] he was doing his job, that responsibility will be carried out
[00:16:38] with more strength and more commitment.
[00:16:41] We want to thank all the people.

[00:20:16] conduct of Amarnath Yatra, the Jammu and Kashmir administration
[00:20:19] and security agencies are continuously
[00:20:22] working in coordination.
[00:20:23] Amidst the America-Iran war,
[00:20:28] Iran warned Gulf countries that if America attacks again,
[00:20:32] it could retaliate by targeting key energy facilities
[00:20:35] across the region. According to news
[00:20:39] agency Reuters, Iran sent a message
[00:20:43] to put pressure on America's close allies.
[00:20:46] According to two senior Iranian officials, Iran's Foreign Minister
[00:21:04] Mr. Abbas Araghchi held talks with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. He appealed to the Gulf allies to pressure President Donald Trump to try and stop new attacks on Iran. Araghchi warned that any attack on Iran could be retaliated by targeting American bases and energy installations
[00:21:07] in the Gulf region. This warning was given
[00:21:11] after US President Donald Trump's threat
[00:21:15] in which he talked about attacking Iran's energy network and infrastructure.
[00:21:18] wants to maintain some control
[00:21:50] over. This waterway is very important
[00:21:54] for global oil and gas supplies. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman
[00:21:57] Ismail Baghaei said that the draft agreement with Oman
[00:22:01] is in its final stage and a joint announcement can be made
[00:22:05] soon.
[00:22:05] The US Treasury Department
[00:22:10] has removed Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad and its two
[00:22:14] passenger planes from the sanctions list. The US had earlier imposed sanctions
[00:22:17] on this company for its alleged ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
[00:22:21] Guard Corps. However, US sanctions
[00:22:24] are still ongoing on the company's owner,
[00:22:27] Bashir Abdul Kadhim Alwan Al-Shabbani.
[00:22:29] On the completion of three years
[00:22:35] of imprisonment of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
[00:22:39] supporters protested across the country. In Punjab and Sindh,
[00:22:43] police took action against the protestors and arrested more than 100 people.
[00:22:46] In Lahore, Mianwali and Rawalpindi, police lathi-charged and dispersed
[00:22:50] the protestors, because PTI organized a rally
[00:22:53] in Peshawar. Videos that surfaced on social media
[00:22:57] showed police using force and alleged assault
[00:23:01] on some journalists, which media organizations protested.
[00:23:04] PTI claims that five MLAs are also among those arrested.
[00:23:08] The party said that despite the repression, workers are standing firm
[00:23:11] in demanding Imran Khan's release and in his support.
[00:23:15] में मजबूती से खड़े
[00:23:16] has to face the reigning world champion
[00:24:20] China's Shi Yu Qi in the very first round.
[00:24:23] Meanwhile, in the World Badminton Championship, India's strong medal contender
[00:24:27] PV Sindhu will take to the court against Ireland's
[00:24:31] Sophia Noble in the first round. Much hope will be placed on Sindhu
[00:24:34] that she, at a time when she recently won
[00:24:38] the Japan Open title, 2022 World
[00:24:42] Championship bronze medalist Lakshya Sen will face
[00:24:45] Austria's Collins Valentin Filipowicz in the first round.
[00:24:49] करे
[00:25:20] the big first rounds would be Shichi
[00:25:24] versus Ayush Shetti
[00:25:27] that I do believe that Ayush
[00:25:29] is very good in his
[00:25:33] attacking style of game first round against Shiuki
[00:25:36] is better than playing him later in the draw so I
[00:25:40] think from that perspective if he wins that it opens up the
[00:25:44] draw much better so overall about
[00:25:48] the thoughts I think it's a favorable.
[00:26:12] This is India, more than a country,
[00:26:15] it is a civilization. Here, with time, a lot
[00:26:19] has changed, but its soul never has.
[00:26:22] From Vedas to Science, from Dharma to
[00:26:25] Democracy, in every era, India has given
[00:26:29] something new to the world. And in every era, a question
[00:26:32] has arisen that how is India so new
[00:26:36] despite being so ancient?
[00:26:37] कैसे?
