Egypt president stresses Syria resolve

Egypt’s president stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, he  urged the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. He  addressed a range of issues facing the new president, who was sworn into office on June 30 in the country’s first free presidential elections. He assumed the post after a rocky transitional period governed by the country’s military, which took power after last year’s uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s uprising inspired others in the region, including Syria. Syria’s bloody 18-month conflict, which activists say has killed nearly 30,000 people, has so far eluded attempts at international mediation. Morsy, who is scheduled to travel Sunday to New York for the UN meetings, has been criticised by some in Egypt for focusing too much on foreign affairs and doing little to address Egypt’s internal challenges.

"So in the morning if you take them off - you can splash it with water, do something mild - but you don't want to get rid of that. And if your skin is dirty in the morning, it means you didn't clean well at night," she added.

Oliver Stone Adjusts Salma Hayek's Cleavage at Savages

  Salma Hayek Oliver Stone : She's a stunning Mexican actress with killer curves that most men wouldn't fail to notice. But it would seem Oliver Stone's admiration for Salma Hayek's assets went a step too far at the photocall for their new movie Savages on Wednesday afternoon. The Oscar-winning director appeared to get a tad too touchy-feely as the pair posed up on the red carpet at London's Mandarin Oriental hotel.     While the 46-year-old actress seemed to be laughing off the unwanted attention she was receiving from the film boss, there was more than a hint of awkwardness behind her smile. The legendary director, who has been married to wife Sun-jung Jung since 1997, seemed totally enamoured by the Hollywood star.  

Distance between Annaa and Kejriwal?

Anna Hazare on Sunday said politics will not deliver a better future to the people and asked those planning to join his anti-corruption movement to contact him in Ralegan Siddhi.

This is the second time in the past three days that Mr. Hazare commented on the issue anti-corruption movement taking a political turn. The first was in a video shot by those opposed to the political course taken by a section of the erstwhile Team Anna. The latest is in his blog post. The remarks are significant as Hazare publicised the address of Brashtachar Virodhi Jan Andolan in Ralegan Siddhi as his contact point for those who want to associate with his movement.

Mamata fired on Government against Petro price hike

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said her party may have to take some hard decisions at its meeting on Tuesday if there is no rollback of the measures announced by the Centre in the last few days  hike in diesel price, a cap on supply of domestic LPG cylinders and the decision to allow FDI in multi brand retail. In a democratic set-up, reforms must reach the poor and the common people. Reforms did not mean selling out everything to satisfy some sections, she said on Saturday, reaching out to people through the social networking platform and also by hitting the streets for the second time this year against the Centre’s decisions. Addressing a gathering after a two-km protest march here, Banerjee said she believed in the stability of government and had put up with decisions imposed on her party. Am I supposed to be a mute spectator?” she asked, adding the Centre had to share the concerns of allies. Dismissing the option given by the Centre on FDI in multi brand retail, it is for the State governments to decide whether or not to allow FDI funded stores. Banerjee said no one was fool enough to believe that there could be alternative approaches to a single policy. Demanding that people be given at least 24 subsided LPG cylinders Mamata said the States, and not the Centre, generated the revenues for funding subsidies.

Deccan Chargers Auction, BCCI Rejects Rs 900 Crore bid by PVP

Deccan Chargers PVP Ventures: Deccan Chargers remained unsold in an auction on Thursday after the cricket board rejected an offer from the sole bidder PVP Ventures. The Board of Control for Cricket in India turned down an offer from PVP Ventures, whose business interests include finance, entertainment, real estate and power generation. The apparent reason for the rejection is that the lenders to Deccan Chronicle Holdings, which owns the Twenty20 cricket side, were not satisfied with the amount offered. It was not possible to immediately ascertain how much PVP Ventures bid. Deccan Chronicle, which owes some Rs 5,000 crore to lenders, put the Hyderabad-based team on the block to stave off bankruptcy. It has defaulted on loans, had its rating downgraded to junk status and its accounts are being forensically audited to check for potential wrongdoing.
