India’s political landscape is increasingly being defined by the troubling nexus between crime and politics. A study has highlighted a startling correlation: the election of politicians with criminal records is directly linked to a rise in crime across the country, particularly in states with weaker institutional frameworks. As India's political system continues to grapple with this issue, the societal consequences are becoming clear. <h2>A history of <keyword id="23341122" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="criminal-politicians" source="keywords">criminal politicians</keyword></h2><keyword id="21026899" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pappu-Yadav" source="keywords">Pappu Yadav</keyword>, a veteran politician from Bihar, serves as a prime example of this disturbing trend. Having represented his constituency for nearly 25 years, Yadav has faced 41 criminal cases, including serious accusations of murder and kidnapping. Despite his conviction in 2008, Yadav was acquitted in 2013, and he continues to hold political influence. His case is not unique; the political scene in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh is littered with politicians facing multiple criminal charges. Anant Singh, another prominent figure from Bihar, holds a political career shadowed by 38 criminal cases, including murder, kidnapping, and attempts to murder. These individuals represent a broader pattern where politicians accused of serious crimes continue to serve in public office despite their criminal backgrounds. "They are getting elected, and over time the number has only been going up," remarks lead author Nishith Prakash. "In some states, it could be as high as almost 40% of people who are representing the state have some kind of a criminal accusation." <h2>Crime begets crime</h2>The research delves into the ramifications of electing criminally accused politicians. The study found that states with a higher number of such politicians also experienced increased <keyword id="22044507" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="crime-rates" source="keywords">crime rates</keyword>. For example, states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh, known for their historically weak institutions, have seen crime rise by 4.3% annually with the election of criminal politicians. The number increases to 5.8% when the politicians are accused of serious crimes like murder and kidnapping. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113692670" title="What will it take for Kangana Ranaut’s &amp;#39;Emergency&amp;#39; to finally hit theatres?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Prakash notes that weak rule of law and institutional failure create fertile ground for such politicians to not only rise to power but also exacerbate the deteriorating law-and-order situation. When politicians themselves are involved in criminal activities, they often manipulate legal and administrative systems, further weakening law enforcement and emboldening criminal networks. The reign of <keyword id="20122630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lalu-prasad-yadav" source="keywords">Lalu Prasad Yadav</keyword>, president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal political party in Bihar, illustrates the adverse impact criminal politicians can have. Under his leadership, Bihar’s political environment devolved into what is now infamously known as "Jungle Raj," a period marked by rampant kidnappings for ransom, particularly targeting affluent individuals like doctors and schoolchildren. The researchers note that during this time, the kidnapping industry flourished as criminals enjoyed either direct or indirect support from the state. <h2><keyword id="22404298" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="impact-on-women" source="keywords">Impact on women</keyword> and <keyword id="19900794" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="economic-growth" source="keywords">economic growth</keyword></h2>Beyond the immediate rise in general crime rates, the study revealed alarming statistics regarding crimes against women. Electing criminally accused politicians was found to increase crimes against women by 12.6%. In states where such politicians held office, female labour force participation dropped by 10-11%, as women felt unsafe and chose not to engage in work outside their homes. The research also highlighted the economic toll criminal politicians take on their constituencies. Areas represented by politicians accused of serious crimes saw economic growth lag between 2.3% and 6.5% per year compared to other regions. These leaders often misappropriate public funds, divert resources for personal gain, and enable criminal enterprises, all of which stifle local development. <h2>Legal measures taken</h2>India has made strides in identifying and tracking criminally accused politicians. A landmark 2003 ruling by the <keyword id="19895345" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Supreme Court" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Supreme Court">Supreme Court</keyword> mandated that candidates for political office must disclose their criminal records, making it easier for voters and institutions to scrutinise their backgrounds. However, the law only disqualifies convicted individuals from running for office, allowing accused politicians to continue their political careers while facing serious charges. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113446721" title="It&amp;#39;s not just the rhetoric — apathy and jokes could be fueling a spiral of retaliatory political violence, expert warns" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>The research conducted by Prakash and his team has caught the attention of Indian courts and the Election Commission. While reform is slow, there is growing recognition that the quality of political leadership has a profound impact on societal outcomes, from crime rates to economic performance. "The quality of politicians matters," Prakash notes. "Who you elect has implications on outcomes that we care about. It could be economic growth, it could be crime against women, it could be labour force participation. These are very important outcomes for society and the economy."

Not only does electing “criminal” politicians often lead to an increase in crime in India, it can also be terrible for the economy: study

The warm-up round for the women's T20 World Cup is set to begin on September 27. The <keyword id="19901177" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="ICC" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="ICC">ICC</keyword> has been monitoring the situation after violent protests against the government led to deaths of hundreds of people and culminated with the resignation and fleeing of former PM Hasina. It is expected that the ICC could also opt to host the tournament at a different venue within a similar time zone, which leaves India, UAE and Sri Lanka as the choices. The current BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon has also fled the country along with a few others board directors, who were believed to be having the backing of the former PM's party Awami League. However, a few other directors remain in <keyword id="19936600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dhaka" source="keywords">Dhaka</keyword> and hope that the tournament will not be shifted from Bangladesh. BCB umpiring committee chairman Iftekhar Ahmed Mithu said, "We are trying to host the tournament." "To be honest, there are not too many among us present in the country and on Thursday (August 8) we have sent a letter to the Army Chief regarding assurance about the security of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup as we have only two months in hand," he said. "ICC communicated with us two days back and we replied that we will come back to them shortly." "After the (interim) government is formed, still we have to give them assurance of the security considering it cannot be given by the board or any anyone else apart from a law enforcement agency of the country and so we sent the letter and after getting written assurance from them (the Army), we will inform the ICC," he added.

BCB seeks Bangladesh army's assurance for hosting women's T20 World Cup

Donald Trump is running for president for the third time. Here's the lowdown on his personal life, career, and politics.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Kamala Harris on Monday appeared on CBS' "60 Minutes."</li><li>CBS said former President Donald Trump had earlier agreed to participate; a spokesman denied that.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-donald-trump-presidential-debate-takeaways-2024-9">Vice President Kamala Harris</a> appeared on "60 Minutes" on Monday as part of a media blitz in the final days of her presidential campaign. Not appearing on the CBS news show: Donald Trump.One political scientist said <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJys7OVH24E">the Harris interview</a> wasn't likely to change any voters' minds — but another said that former President Trump's absence could hold some sway with undecided voters.During the interview, Harris highlighted her economic policies and differences from her opponent — though she didn't offer any new details about a potential Harris administration.Throughout her campaign, Harris has faced criticism from Trump supporters and some media outlets that have argued she hasn't adequately explained her platform or given enough <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harris-trump-nabj-interview-economy-policy-2024-9">public interviews</a>.Harris' "60 Minutes" appearance comes amid a weeklong series of high-profile interviews the vice president has added to her schedule. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-election-special-harris-trump-oct-7/">CBS reported</a> on October 1 that Trump backed out of the "60 Minutes" election special after initially agreeing to appear.When asked about Trump's apparent <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-in-denial-60-minutes-embarrassment-much-like-zelensky-call-2020-10">refusal to participate</a> in the interview, Harris said people who want to know what he thinks should "watch his rallies."Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said on X earlier this month that a sit-down with "60 Minutes" had never been finalized. "There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in," he <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/TheStevenCheung/status/1841242913302327506">posted</a> on X. "They also insisted on doing live fact-checking, which is unprecedented."As for Harris, one political scientist told BI the "60 Minutes" broadcast "didn't feel like a conversation.""It felt like a collage, with a whole bunch of cut-up pieces," said Susan McWilliams Barndt, a professor of politics at Pomona College in California."The '60 Minutes' interview was over-edited, especially compared with Harris' <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KCRsjPCiCI">recent podcast interview</a> on 'Call Her Daddy,'" Barndt said.On Sunday, Harris spoke with Alex Cooper of the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/podcaster-new-politics-power-broker-harris-and-trump-know-it-2024-10">"Call Her Daddy" podcast</a>. Cooper, 30, has a massive and influential platform, particularly among young women, with an audience second only in size to "The Joe Rogan Experience," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2024/08/20/alex-coopers-call-her-daddy-spotifys-2nd-biggest-podcast-bought-by-siriusxm/">Forbes</a> has reported.Mike Nellis, a former Harris senior advisor and a "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/white-dudes-for-harris-twitter-account-elon-musk-donald-trump-2024-7">White Dudes for Harris</a>" organizer, said that Harris' targeted appearances — like on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast — were a smart strategy to reach certain audiences, like young women or suburban women. This week, Harris is also set to appear on "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-view-politics-election-2016-4">The View</a>," "The Howard Stern Show," and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."Still, McWilliams Barndt, the Pomona professor, said Harris, in her "60 Minutes" interview, didn't say anything she hadn't said before. "And in our fast-paced social-media attention economy, you can't get any attention if you don't say anything new," she said.Patricia Crouse, an adjunct professor of political science at New Haven University, said Harris held her own but wasn't at her best. She added that Trump's absence on "60 Minutes" was among the night's biggest takeaways."I think, like most presidential candidates that do these kinds of interviews, her answers were evasive and she didn't directly answer any of the questions," Crouse said. "Having said that, though, she at least showed up — and that may play well with some undecided voters. I don't think it was in Trump's best interest to pass on the interview."

Kamala Harris hits '60 Minutes' without Donald Trump. Political scientists weigh in on whether the interview matters.

"The only way for the prosecution to determine who knew what and when is to talk with those in attendance."Rahmani added that stars who attended Combs' high-profile parties could have "relevant information" and be compelled to testify.Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, said he would advise these individuals to consult with their lawyer and their publicist "because a lot of dirty laundry" could soon be made public.Camron Dowlatshahi, a Los Angeles entertainment attorney with Mills Sadat Dowlat LLP, agreed, saying it's possible prosecutors may bring in celebrities for witness interviews.However, Tre Lovell, an attorney and the owner of the Los Angeles-based Lovell Firm, told BI that he wouldn't rush to call a lawyer simply for attending one of Combs' parties as doing so "does not suggest unlawful or criminal activity.""He's a very famous celebrity and has been for decades before his recent indictment," Lovell told BI. "He's had many legitimate parties over the years and, chances are, most celebrities and guests were not aware of his sex parties."However, if a celebrity actually participated in any of the "Freak Off" parties, "then that would be something different, and I would suggest contacting your attorney" to "strategize how best to deal with any potential criminal investigation," Lovell said.<div type="image" title="A courtroom sketch of Sean Combs next to his defense lawyer, with security personnel in the background." height="2000" width="3000" msid="113939125" hostid="261" sizebytes="624808"></div><h2 id="ab007a3a-1abb-4846-8523-c5f1fad2c8b1">'Freak Offs' are at the center of Combs' indictment</h2>Federal prosecutors allege that for decades Combs "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."Combs and his associates "wielded the power and prestige" of the rapper's success to "intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims" into his orbit "often under the pretense of a romantic relationship," prosecutors say in the indictment.The "Freak Offs," prosecutors say, occurred regularly, often in hotel rooms, and sometimes lasted multiple days. During these events, prosecutors say Combs would give out a variety of drugs to the victims to keep them "obedient and compliant."Members of the Combs' enterprise, including high-ranking supervisors, security staff, household staff, and personal assistants, helped host the "Freak Offs" by booking hotel rooms, according to prosecutors. The staff stocked the parties with the "required" supplies, including drugs, baby oil, and lubricant, prosecutors say in the indictment."Combs subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs," the indictment says.Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has sought to portray the so-called "Freak Offs" as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-appeal-jail-conditions-trial-prep-2024-9">consensual acts</a>.In a statement to BI, a Combs spokesperson drew a distinction between the "false allegations" against the hip-hop mogul and his famed parties."Sean Combs' white parties and other events were iconic, a true convergence of hip-hop, Hollywood, and Black excellence. His parties were a 'who's who' of A-list celebrities, with an endless stream of people vying to attend," the spokesperson said."It's disappointing to see the media and social commentators twist these cultural moments into something they were not," the spokesperson continued.

We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof."Rahmani told BI that if there was "overlap and there were sex workers" at Combs' parties, celebrity attendees should most definitely consult a lawyer.If the "Freak Offs" that prosecutors allege Combs held were completely separate from his star-studded bashes, then guests who attended should have nothing to worry about, he said.

Ashlee Wisdom left a toxic workplace environment after developing chronic hives.At the time, Wisdom was also getting her master's in public health at New York University, where she was learning about how social and political factors can affect specific groups' health.These experiences led her to build Health In Her HUE, a digital health platform that connects women of color to medical providers committed to serving their health needs."I had my own experience of seeing how racism impacts your health, and I saw all of this innovation happening in healthcare, but I didn't see anyone at that time building anything that addressed the specific pain points that Black women and women of color tend to have when they are navigating the healthcare system," Wisdom told Business Insider.Health In Her HUE is part of a surge in femtech, or technology companies that aim to support women's health and wellness. A report published last year by a consulting company called FemHealth Insights found that the sector was rapidly growing, with over 60% of femtech companies founded from 2017 to 2022.Historically, women's healthcare has been impaired by challenges like bias and a lack of specialized providers. But femtech offers a new way forward — one where connecting with a doctor doesn't require an in-person appointment and female founders are creating digital spaces that mirror the care they want to receive.<h2>Connectivity to close the women's health gap</h2>Increased access to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5g-advanced-standalone-6g-qualcomm-huawei-mwc-2024-3">high-speed internet</a>, the expansion of telemedicine, and demand for women-centric healthcare are some factors behind the recent support for femtech platforms and apps."In 2020, because we were left with no alternative, there was a massive increase in online services, which created a culture shift for providers and clients," said Smisha Agarwal, the executive director of the Center for Global Digital Health Innovation at Johns Hopkins University.As a result, the US healthcare sector became less resistant to remote tools like <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teledermatology-future-of-skincare-musely-ceo-jack-jia-2024-6">telehealth</a> and medical apps, and patients realized they enjoyed the relative privacy of talking with a provider in their home rather than at a clinic. "These tools can change the power dynamic in a clinical relationship," Agarwal said.Health In Her HUE says nearly 14,000 women have accounts and use the website to access medical information tailored specifically to women of color; virtual peer-support groups; and medical professionals who deliver healthcare in a way that meets patients' social, cultural, and linguistic needs.Black women often confront <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/women-crossing-state-lines-give-birth-black-maternal-mortality-crisis-2023-9">greater difficulties</a> in accessing affordable and quality healthcare, are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8020496/">disproportionately burdened</a> by chronic conditions, and are more likely to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-doctors-and-community-groups-are-promoting-health-equity-2023-11">experience discrimination</a> in medical settings. "I wanted to build a platform that helps Black women, and women of color more broadly, navigate healthcare and a system that is too often precarious for us," Wisdom said.<div type="image" title="A headshot of Ashlee Wisdom on a tan background." height="810" width="1080" msid="113135183" hostid="261" sizebytes="46492"></div>Through the platform, users can look up providers by the insurance they take, their specialties, and their ZIP code, and then meet with them in person or virtually, depending on the provider.In the beginning, Wisdom reached out to providers who seemed aligned with her mission and asked if they would participate in the project. Now providers looking to join can make an account, and once they commit to the company's health-equity pledge, they're added to the directory.Wisdom said one Health In Her HUE user who felt that other doctors had ignored her symptoms got a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome after meeting with a Health In Her HUE provider. Another told Wisdom that she drove three hours to meet with a gastroenterologist she found in the directory; she felt that "if a Black GI doctor saw her, they would take her symptoms more seriously," Wisdom said.For years, healthcare systems weren't <a target="_blank" href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/women-health-gap-davos-2023/">designed for women</a>, and there are still gaps in research and treatments for women's health issues. A study published in the Journal of Women's Health in 2021 found that funding from the US National Institutes of Health was <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/jwh.2020.8682">more likely to go toward conditions</a> that primarily affect men and less likely to go toward conditions that disproportionately affect women, like migraines and endometriosis.With this reality in mind, Joanna Strober cofounded Midi Health, a website designed to help people experiencing menopause and perimenopause access specialists. Described as a virtual care clinic, Midi Health allows people to make telehealth appointments with licensed nurse practitioners and doctors specializing in women's midlife health. Strober told BI she started the company after encountering barriers to finding menopause care."I also realized that the only way to scale this and give access to all women was to do it virtually," Strober said. "It's about connecting women to excellent care regardless of where they live."During a virtual appointment, patients can discuss perimenopause and menopause symptoms like hot flashes and brain fog. Interventions can range from lifestyle coaching to prescription medication, and Midi providers can refer patients to in-person treatments when needed. Some insurance plans cover care if the providers are in-network with PPO plans. Strober is focused on scaling insurance coverage so more women can use Midi.Strober said that as of August, about 100,000 women had used Midi in 2024. Most are between 40 and 50, and the average age is 46."It's growing really fast, and women are coming to us in increasing numbers for more issues than we originally expected," Strober said. She added that while Midi isn't intended to be a primary-care clinic, users' interest in speaking with providers about more than hormonal health demonstrates that "there are just not enough providers who are trained in women-centered care."Strober attributed an increased desire for digital platforms like Midi to improvements in telehealth technology and to women's demands for better care. The relative ease of virtual appointments is also a benefit.<h2>Investing in solutions</h2>A report by Silicon Valley Bank published last year said <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.svb.com/trends-insights/reports/womens-health-report/">venture-capital funding for women's health companies</a> had surged by 314% since 2018.But Strober believes that the industry has just taken off and that founders must convince investors that more money can be made. Midi Health is on its way toward doing that; the company closed a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/midi-health-raising-series-b-menopause-2024-1">$60 million Series B round</a> in April.Agarwal said that as more companies enter the healthcare industry, they'll need to consider patient needs beyond health, such as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-hospitals-dont-have-policies-for-new-ai-tech-survey-2024-2">privacy</a>. She argued that minimizing data collection and communicating about data use are imperative."Digital solutions do not replace in-person services, but they are a brilliant addition to in-person care," Agarwal added.Wisdom acknowledged that virtual care isn't a cure-all and told BI that while Health In Her HUE's main goal is connecting women of color to culturally responsive clinicians, she hopes for a future where all providers offer that level of care."We don't want Black patients always to feel like they need to be seen by a Black healthcare provider," Wisdom said. "They should feel comfortable and confident knowing that any provider they engage with can provide them with high-quality care."But for now, Wisdom said, virtual care can be a path toward accessibility. Health In Her HUE raised <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/08/health-in-her-hue-closes-3-million-seed-round/">$3 million in a seed round</a> in January, and Wisdom and her team are hopeful about features they can build to create a space where users know they're getting accurate information from medical providers who understand their experiences. Wisdom and her team plan to create an app and possibly partner with a telehealth company to offer virtual appointments."It feels good to build a solution that's useful for my community," Wisdom said. "I'm glad my energy is being used for a mission that deeply resonates with me."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russia's defense industry is short some tens of thousands of skilled laborers.</li><li>Traditional gender roles limit women's participation in crucial jobs there, a report says.</li></ul>Russia's defense manufacturing sector is short some tens of thousands of skilled laborers — and its hard stance on traditional roles for women could be part of it, according to new reports.Two years into its war in Ukraine, Russia is ramping up its military with a record <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/30/russias-defence-spending-to-rise-by-25-next-year-the-highest-since-the-cold-war">40% of its overall budget</a> now devoted to defense. It also plans to expand its number of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-orders-russia-army-expand-experts-cannot-do-this-forever-2024-9">active soldiers to 1.5 million</a>.That requires vast amounts of military equipment, and the infrastructure to support it.And that, in turn, requires workers, which Russia is currently struggling to find.In January, Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted that "over half a million jobs were created in the defense sector over the last year and a half alone," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://tass.com/defense/1740983">according to Russian state-owned news agency TASS</a>.Yet, while the jobs may be there, the workers aren't.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.com/russian/articles/cd6qndy200xo">An analysis published this week by BBC Russia</a> found that in the space of a single month this summer, some 90,000 defense industry-related job postings had appeared, with wages much higher than average salaries.The BBC said there were some 18,600 vacancies for operators of computer numerically controlled machines, or CNCs, which are used for shaping materials and are in wide demand in manufacturing. But just 600 resumes had come in for those roles, the outlet reported.Some of the postings had stood unfilled for months, it added.Researcher Dara Massicot, who focuses on defense and security issues in Russia and Eurasia at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, highlighted labor shortage issues in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2024/09/russian-military-reconstitution-2030-pathways-and-prospects?lang=en">a recent paper</a> on how Russia is reconstituting its military.Workers who would normally plug the gap — such as migrants, students, and prisoners — are now being used as combatants to fight in Ukraine, she wrote."According to conservative estimates, wartime emigration and military mobilization have cost the workforce about 600,000 working-age males," Massicot said.Russia does have one largely untapped source of labor for the defense industry: women. But here it finds itself in a bind.Since the 1970s, women in Russia have been barred from a raft of professions that are crucial to the defense sector, for fear of harming their fertility or a pregnancy, according to Massicot."Women are prohibited from certain occupations deemed physically dangerous," she wrote, giving examples such as those that deal with hazardous chemicals or heavy metals, which rules out many defense industry jobs.Women are also barred from jobs like mining, heavy lifting, operating heavy machinery, most metallurgy, and handling various chemicals, she added.By contrast, 5% of US welders are female, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://weldingworkforcedata.com/">according to the American Welding Society</a> — a small proportion of the workforce that still amounts to tens of thousands of available workers."Russia would rather import foreign labor and use convicts than change the labor code (from the 1970s) to allow Russian women into certain types of jobs," Massicot <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/MassDara/status/1841921332230967464">wrote on X this week</a>.But Russia is in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-population-decline-worker-shortage-growth-outlook-ukraine-war-2024-8">a demographic spiral</a>, which pre-dates COVID and the mass mobilization for the war in Ukraine.At the end of 2023, Russia was short a record 5 million workers across all sectors, according to an estimate from the Russian Academy of Science's Institute of Economics, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-short-around-48-million-workers-2023-crunch-persist-izvestia-2023-12-24/">Reuters reported at the time</a>.The decline in Russia's labor force is forecast to continue until 2040, Massicot wrote.Meanwhile, Russia <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-ukraine-war-moscow-military-spending-currency-inflation-budget-2024-9">is now leaning on the war to keep its economy from collapsing</a>, putting more pressure on its labor force. Economists say the war is the only thing keeping Russia from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-ukraine-war-moscow-military-spending-currency-inflation-budget-2024-9">entering an immediate recession</a>.Yet Russia appears to be focusing on longer-term solutions to its demographic issues, with a strong turn toward traditional roles for women.Putin recently reminisced about a time when women "had seven or eight children, and maybe even more," adding that "large families should be the norm," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-12-08/abortion-restrictions-and-discouragement-of-female-university-students-moscow-wants-russian-women-to-focus-on-childbearing.html">El País reported</a>.Last summer, Russia's Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko proposed policy tweaks that would reduce women's access to abortion, saying that there is a "vicious practice" of prioritizing a woman's career before children, per El País.This would make bringing women into defense manufacturing a hard cultural and political pivot, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/MassDara/status/1841922270962364867">Massicot said on X</a>.

Russia's defense industry has a massive labor shortage. Rules on what jobs women can do are part of the issue.

"We must not become complacent and over confident...I dare say that if we perform well, reflecting the trend that we witnessed in the Lok Sabha elections, national politics will undergo a transformation," she told the <keyword id="19895371" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Congress" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="Congress">Congress</keyword> Parliamentary Party (<keyword id="43847" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CPP" source="Orion">CPP</keyword>). Gandhi also accused the <keyword id="19916814" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Modi-government" source="keywords">Modi government</keyword> of not drawing the right lessons from "their significant decline" in the Lok Sabha elections and persisting with their policy of "dividing communities and spreading an atmosphere of fear and animosity". "Fortunately, the Supreme Court intervened at the right time," she said in an apparent reference to the stay on the orders passed by Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand government asking eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the name of owners. "But this can only be a temporary respite. Look at how the rules have been suddenly changed to permit the bureaucracy to participate in the activities of the RSS. It calls itself a cultural organisation but the whole world knows that it is the BJP's political and ideological base," Gandhi said. Noting that elections will be held in four states, she urged party leaders to sustain the momentum and goodwill that had been generated for the party in the Lok Sabha elections. "We must not become complacent and over confident. The 'mahaul' does favour us, but we have to work unitedly with a sense of purpose. I dare say that if we perform well, reflecting the trend that we witnessed in the Lok Sabha elections, national politics will undergo a transformation," Gandhi said. Her remarks come ahead of assembly polls in Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand as also the possibility of elections in Jammu and Kashmir this year. She also slammed the Union Budget, saying that the pressing demands of farmers and youth in particular, have been totally ignored. Allocations in a number of vital sectors have not done justice to the tasks required to be fulfilled, she said. "There has been widespread disappointment, in spite of the prime minister, the finance minister and others to talk up the Budget and its so-called accomplishments. The Union Government, especially its top leadership, continues to be self-delusional as crores of families across the country are devastated by mounting unemployment and price rise," she said.

'Mahaul' in our favour, don't be complacent and over-confident: Sonia Gandhi to party on upcoming polls

The controversy ignited after Khelif's opening bout on Thursday, which ended dramatically when her opponent—Italy's Angela Carini—withdrew just 46 seconds into the clash after suffering a nose injury. This outcome has kickstarted a fierce debate over <keyword id="22633573" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gender-eligibility" source="keywords">gender eligibility</keyword> in sports around the world. The fallout on social media has been swift and intense, with critics slamming the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to let Khelif compete. Many argue that this situation compromises the fairness of <keyword id="22159410" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="womens-sports" source="keywords">women's sports</keyword>, fueling widespread outrage. Meanwhile, many social media users, including several prominent public figures, labelled Khelif as “biological male”, "a male or man" or “transgender”. <div type="twitter" handle="jk_rowling" handlename="jk_rowling" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1819007216214573268"></div> <div type="twitter" handle="elonmusk" handlename="elonmusk" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1818986936310075743"></div> <div type="twitter" handle="trussliz" handlename="trussliz" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1818966074680873080"></div> However, this characterisation appears oversimplified and scientifically inaccurate, and it does not fully capture the complexity of the situation. <h2>Meet Imane Khelif: Born female, living with DSD</h2>Scientifically speaking, classifying Khelif as 'male' or 'transgender' would not be accurate. In fact, contrary to most claims on the internet, her family claims that her assigned gender was 'female' at birth, as per the official birth certificate that Imane's father, Omar, produced during a French TV interview on BFMTV. This classification hinges on the external genitalia observed at birth, which is the most common practice for identifying biological sex worldwide. However, in rare cases, genitalia-based identification during birth can be an inaccurate way to categorise sex, even in medical terms. <div type="Youtube" id="DV4VMdDoCUA" title="Imane Khelif's father: 'My child is a girl'" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DV4VMdDoCUA/mqdefault.jpg"><url><![CDATA[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DV4VMdDoCUA]]></url></div> Khelif’s biological profile presents a nuanced situation. Born female and identifying as a woman, she appears to have a condition known as differences of sex development (DSD), as per experts cited by <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/imane-khelif-dsd-xy-chromosome-test-paris-2024-olympics-b2591171.html" data-type="tilCustomLink">The Independent</a>. This inference is based on her XY chromosomal composition, elevated testosterone levels and certain physical features, all of which are traits typically associated with males. Such discrepancies can stem from various genetic conditions, including DSD. With that said, it is important to note that Imane has not publicly confirmed having a DSD. DSD can cause a discrepancy between an individual’s chromosomes and their physical characteristics, sometimes resulting in ambiguous genitalia or other variations in sexual development. While the term “intersex” was once used for such conditions, “differences of sex development” is now preferred to avoid the negative connotations of “disorder”. <div type="image" title="intersex" agency="iStock" msid="112585286" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Mercury symbol (&amp;#9791;) has been used to represent intersex people.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Given the complexities, labelling someone with DSD as a “biological male” or “biological female” can be misleading and problematic. It oversimplifies their identity and can perpetuate stigma, as evident in the current global discourse. <h2>The right to compete without discrimination</h2>The fact that further complicates the narrative around Imane Khelif’s participation in women’s boxing is that she is legally and socially recognised as female. For the social recognition aspect, it is important to consider that she comes from a society where views on transgender and <keyword id="2058740" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="intersex" source="Orion">intersex</keyword> issues are shaped by conservative cultural norms and legal frameworks. Instead, Khelif has received strong support in her home country. The Algerian Olympic Committee has defended her participation, condemning the “malicious attacks” and underscoring her right to compete without discrimination. In the midst of mounting controversy, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reiterated Imane Khelif’s eligibility to compete in the women’s boxing category at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The IOC has confirmed that Khelif meets all competition and medical regulations, asserting that “every person has the right to practise sport without discrimination”. <h2>The <keyword id="1142452" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dutee-Chand" source="Orion">Dutee Chand</keyword> parallel and complexities of sporting regulations</h2>The uproar surrounding Khelif echoes the 2014 saga of India’s very own sprinter, Dutee Chand, whose story was notably depicted in the 2021 movie Rashmi Rocket, starring Taapsee Pannu. <div type="image" title="Dutee Chand" agency="BCCL" msid="112218868" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dutee Chand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>Chand faced disqualification from the Commonwealth Games after elevated testosterone levels led to her exclusion under the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) regulations on hyperandrogenism. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) barred her from competition, citing these regulations. Her elevated testosterone levels were, in fact, due to a medical condition known as hyperandrogenism, which is characterised by naturally high levels of androgens (including testosterone) in the body. As per studies, this condition is known to affect approximately seven out of every 1,000 elite female track athletes. Chand’s challenge to this decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) resulted in a landmark ruling in 2015, which temporarily suspended the IAAF’s hyperandrogenism regulations. This allowed her to return to competitive athletics, spotlighting the ongoing issues faced by athletes with intersex conditions. Now, Khelif’s situation has reopened broader discussions on <keyword id="20276643" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gender-identity" source="keywords">gender identity</keyword>, biological sex and fairness in sports, with political motives also influencing the narrative. Amid this controversy, two points stand out. First, there’s a pressing need for a broader understanding of differences in sex development to foster scientifically informed perspectives. Second, the criteria for intersex athletes—especially in sports where biological differences are pronounced—require a more nuanced and thoughtful approach. Correction: August 12, 2024 — The text in paragraph four, six and seven has been edited to accurately reflect the claims around the athlete's assigned sex at birth.

<keyword id="19894922" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uttar-Pradesh" source="keywords">Uttar Pradesh</keyword> has strong and established women leaders but, ironically, the majority of this '<keyword id="19911646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nari-Shakti" source="keywords">Nari Shakti</keyword>' does not belong to this state. Barring a few, most of the women leaders have come from other states and after contesting several elections, they have consolidated their position in Uttar Pradesh. Senior Congress leader <keyword id="19935990" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sonia-Gandhi" source="keywords">Sonia Gandhi</keyword> leads the brigade of political talent imported from outside Uttar Pradesh. A native of Italy who was living in New Delhi with her in-laws, the Gandhi bahu made her political debut from Amethi in 1999 and then contested and won the Rae Bareli seat from 2004 to 2019. Sonia Gandhi began campaigning in Amethi from 1984 when her husband Rajiv Gandhi made his political debut. When Sonia Gandhi finally took a plunge in politics after the former Prime Minister's demise, she chose the family turf, Amethi. The former Congress President was at one time seen as a prime ministerial candidate, though she never claimed the position. Another woman politician who was seen as a prospective prime ministerial candidate is BSP supremo, <keyword id="19897516" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mayawati" source="keywords">Mayawati</keyword>. Mayawati was born in Delhi but her political 'karambhoomi' became Uttar Pradesh when the first SP-BSP government came into existence in 1993 in the state. Circumstances propelled Mayawati into the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's chair in 1995 and over the years, she has emerged as a politician who cannot be ignored. Actor-turned-politician, <keyword id="19968072" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hema-Malini" source="keywords">Hema Malini</keyword>, who is seeking her third term from Mathura, belongs to Tamil Nadu and has spent most of her life in Mumbai. She contested and won the 2014 and 2019 elections from Mathura. Hema Malini calls herself 'Krishna ki gopi' and claims to have a divine connect with Mathura. Among others in this list is Smriti Irani, who is seeking her second term from Amethi and originally belongs to Delhi. However, after winning Amethi in 2019, she calls herself 'Amethi ki bitiya'. She has even built her home in Gauriganj in Amethi and is well versed with local politics and the local people. Maneka Gandhi, who originally belongs to Delhi, is the senior-most MP among these women, having won her first election in 1989 on a Janata Dal ticket. She later joined the BJP and has always chosen Uttar Pradesh to contest elections - first Pilibhit and then Sultanpur. Jaya Prada, another actor-turned-politician, was born in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh but chose Uttar Pradesh to kickstart her political career even though she had earlier joined the TDP. Jaya Prada successfully contested the Rampur Lok Sabha seat in 2004 and 2009 elections on a Samajwadi Party ticket. Later, she joined the BJP in 2019. Dimple Yadav, senior SP leader and wife of Akhilesh Yadav, originally belongs to Uttarakhand but made Uttar Pradesh her home after her marriage to Akhilesh. Dimple Yadav began her career by losing a bypoll to Raj Babbar of the Congress from Firozabad in 2009 but won the Kannauj seat in a 2012 bye-election. She won the Kannauj seat in 2014 but lost in 2019. However, Dimple Yadav won the Mainpuri bye-election after the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav in 2022. Among all these women leaders, it is only Union Minister Anupriya Patel of Apna Dal (S) who was born and brought up in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Interestingly, even in the past, several women leaders who made a mark in Indian politics were born outside Uttar Pradesh but chose to contest polls from the state. Former Lok Sabha Speaker, Meira Kumar, made her debut in politics when she won a bye-election from Bijnor in 1985. Meira Kumar, who is the daughter of late veteran politician Jagjivan Ram, was born in Bihar. Former Delhi Chief Minister, late Sheila Dikshit, won her first election from Kannauj in 1984. She was born in Kapurthala in Punjab. Freedom fighter Sucheta Kripalani, the first woman Chief Minister in India, who headed the Uttar Pradesh government, also belonged to Punjab but won the Assembly polls from Mehdawal in Sant Kabir Nagar. --IANS amita/rad
