Trump warns China
President Donald Trump warned China on Saturday that it should strike a trade deal with the United States now, otherwise an agreement would be “far worse for them if it has to be negotiated in my second term.”
Washington and Beijing are locked in a trade battle that has seen mounting tariffs, sparking fears the dispute will damage the global economy.
Two days of talks ended Friday with no deal. China’s top negotiator said the two sides would meet again in Beijing at an unspecified date, but warned that China would make no concessions on “important principles.”
“I think that China felt they were being beaten so badly in the recent negotiation that they may as well wait around for the next election, 2020, to see if they could get lucky & have a Democrat win — in which case they would continue to rip-off the USA for $500 Billion a year,” Trump said in a tweet Saturday.
“The only problem is that they know I am going to win (best economy & employment numbers in US history, & much more), and the deal will become far worse for them if it has to be negotiated in my second term. Would be wise for them to act now, but love collecting BIG TARIFFS!”

No violation of MCC in Niti Aayog sharing data with PMO: EC
Election Commission said, it has found no violation of the poll code in Niti Aayog sharing data with the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) on places where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was set to campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Talking to media in New Delhi, Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena said, the poll body has disposed off the complaint as the Prime Minister is exempted from the provision that bars ministers from combining official visits with campaigning.
Mr Saxena said, the exemption to the Prime Minister was given in October 2014 and it was not a one-time exemption but a standing instruction.
WD to spell North India Rain ,Snow
Monday
A western disturbance (WD) northwest of Rajasthan is progressing eastward in India. The WD’s induced cyclonic circulation is likely to cause scattered snow or rain with thunderstorms in the higher reaches of northern and central India on Monday.
Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand may experience scattered rain or snow, thunderstorms and hailstorms. The northern plains may also witness isolated rain with thunderstorms and dust storms, namely in states like Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
A cyclonic circulation is located over Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. It is likely to bring heavy rain or snow and thunderstorms over Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya. In addition, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura may also experience scattered rain and thunderstorms.
The trough pushed from Telangana to Kanyakumari will cause heavy rain and thunderstorm in Kerala. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands are likely to receive isolated rainfall.
Isolated rain and thunderstorms are also likely over Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Maximum temperatures of 40°C or more are likely over Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu.
Tuesday & Beyond
The prevailing western disturbance’s activity will abate on Tuesday. However, another round of snow/rainfall will start to affect northern India on Thursday due to the next WD.
Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand may receive scattered rain or snow, thunderstorms, and hailstorms. Isolated rains and thunderstorms are also likely over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
Thunder with heavy rain is expected to continue due to the cyclonic circulation over Arunachal Pradesh through the week. Later, the WD is likely to approach this region and feed the intensity and the coverage of the existing circulation. Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya may experience heavy rain or snow and thunderstorms. Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura, on the other hand, are also likely witness scattered rain and thunderstorms as well.
Down south, isolated rain and thunderstorms will continue in Kerala and adjoining states through the week. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands are likely to receive isolated rainfall.
Isolated rain and thunderstorms are also likely over Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Maximum temperatures will be cooler or much cooler than normal in northern plains because the WD will pass through this week. Even though they are much cooler than normal, the maximum temperature in Delhi will be in the upper 30s, or touching 40°C this week.
Rajasthan and Gujarat will also experience ‘cooler than normal’ temperatures late in this period due to onshore winds. Maximum temperatures of more than 40°C will be expected over western, central, southern, and eastern India this week. Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu will experience the highest temperatures on Tuesday.
Heavy rain and thunderstorm is forecast in #Kerala. #TamilNadu, #Karnataka, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands are likely to receive isolated rainfall.

Winners of UNICEF-AROI Radio4Child Awards announced
The awards honoured radio professionals for their creative messaging on Routine Immunization and Child Sexual Abuse
MUMBAI, 10 May 2019: The third edition of the UNICEF-AROI Radio4Child Awards culminated in Mumbai today with winners selected from 152 entries. The awards, this year, honoured RJs for their innovative and thought-provoking programming across two themes – Routine Immunization (Measles Rubella campaign) and End Violence Against Children (Child Sexual Abuse).
The event was graced by UNICEF Celebrity Advocate Kareena Kapoor Khan.
“I am delighted to be associated with the #EveryChildAlive campaign initiated by UNICEF as it is using different and innovative mediums to communicate the importance of immunizing every child from life-threatening diseases. Having had personal experience with the medium of Radio I think it is an excellent channel to educate young families, the youth and marginalized communities on the importance of vaccination. Also as a mother, I understand the importance of Immunization in giving every child a healthy start and I look forward to supporting UNICEF in spreading this important message.” Ms Kareena KapoorKhan said.
The awards are a culmination of capacity-building workshops, conducted in 2018, by UNICEF and AROI for over 40 All India Radio and private FM radio professionals to help them integrate meaningful, appealing radio jingles or talk shows on the critical messages related to vaccination and other child issues.
Dr. Pradeep Haldar, Deputy Commissioner, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare urged the radio fraternity to spread the message of the importance of immunization and help in mitigating any misinformation regarding vaccines.
Chief of Health UNICEF India, Dr. Gagan Gupta, said, “UNICEF remains committed to work with Government, media, communities and partners to reach out to more children with more vaccines and more services. Moving beyond survival to Early Childhood Development and ensuring that the girl child is not left behind should be the next frontier for India.”
The winners were picked by a select jury which included personalities from academia, the radio industry and the corporate sector.
Being one of the large demonstrable example of public-private media and civil society partnership, UNICEF looks at Radio4Child as a platform to raise child issues. Rajeshwari Chandrasekar, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF Maharashtra, stressed on the need to spread the message of timely immunization. “Vaccination acts as a protective shield, keeping families and communities safe. By vaccinating our children, we are also protecting the most vulnerable members of our community,” she said.
The awards have grown bigger and bigger since their conceptualization in 2014, when it received a humble 21 entries. This year, UNICEF received 152 entries from 17 states – up from 120 in the second edition. Of these, the highest, 18, were from Jharkhand followed by 15 from Delhi and 11 from Odisha. From the East and Northeast, radio stations from Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal too participated in the contest. From South, the awards received entries from Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The jury also gave away Special Mention Awards to laud efforts of radio entries which had been sent from remote parts of the country including community radio. “It is really heartening to see the creativity from across the country coming on to a single platform for a cause, said Uday Chawla, Secretary, AROI.
Rema Mohan CEO, NSE Foundation, jury member congratulated the young radio professionals across the country for their commendable contribution to the immunization programme as well as other relevant child centric social messaging. Corporate Social Responsibility programmes should advocate positive behaviour change by taking up the role of influencers within communities especially remote rural communities to spread the message on the importance of immunization, ending child abuse, and education of the girl child,” she said.
Dr. K. C. Sinha, Assistant Director, Health and Family Welfare programmes at Directorate General, All India Radio, New Delhi recounted the stellar role AIR has played since independence in furthering the cause of universal health and expressed continued commitment to the same.
All India Radio won a number of awards for its innovative messaging on children’s issues.
The Radio4Child Awards III this year, coincided with UNICEF celebrating 70 years in India on May 10. A special video message from UNICEF India Representative Dr. Yasmin Ali Haque was played at NSE Foundation here during the Awards function. Link to her video message.
