Lucknow, Dec 23 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said that at a time when many countries are at war, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is binding the world in the thread of peace, harmony and unity through the message of Lord Buddha. Welcoming a delegation led by Governor of Japan's Yamanashi Province Kotaro Nagasaki at his official residence here, Adityanath described UP as a state of "Unlimited Potential". An MoU was signed between the Uttar Pradesh government and Yamanashi Prefecture (Japan) for industrial cooperation, tourism and vocational education in the presence. "The roots of strategic, cultural and global cooperation have been connected between the two countries for more than a millennium. Today, when many countries of the world are at war, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is binding the world in the thread of peace, harmony and unity through the message of Lord Buddha," Adityanath said. "The strong relations between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Prime Minister of Japan, late Shinzo Abe, have also taken the political, economic and business relations of India-Japan to new heights," he said. "The state government is keen to cooperate with Japanese companies. Japan also provided great support as a partner country for the Global Investors Summit-2023," Adityanath said. On behalf of the state government, Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh and Director General of the Governor's Policy Planning Bureau of Yamanashi Province Junichi Ishidera exchanged the MoU, the UP government said in a statement. Adityanath said the MoU is a result of the prime minister's commitment to work together with the Quad countries for humanity on the basis of shared democratic values. Currently, more than 1,400 Japanese companies are operating in India, including seven major firms -- Mitsui Technologies, Honda Motors, Yamaha Motors, Denso, Toyodrunk, Nissin ABC Logistics, Sekisui DLJM Molding -- operating in Uttar Pradesh. Economic co-operation between India and Japan is very rich, he said, and added that bilateral trade between the two countries has been USD 22.854 billion in the financial year 2023-24. During this period, USD 17.69 billion was exported from Japan to India and USD 5.15 billion was imported. Adityanath told the Japanese delegation that Uttar Pradesh is getting a new identity as an 'expressway state'. After the construction of the Ganga Expressway, Uttar Pradesh will have 55 per cent share in the total expressways of the country. At present, five expressways of a total length of 1,130 km are operational, he said. The UP CM said that in the electronics and IT/ITES sector, Uttar Pradesh has the distinction of contributing about 45 per cent of India's total mobile manufacturing. About 55 per cent of India's mobile components are manufactured here. About 26 per cent of India's mobile manufacturers are active in Uttar Pradesh and more than 200 ESDM companies are located in the state. The state government is developing clusters for semi-conductor manufacturing and fab-units. Apart from this, Uttar Pradesh is rapidly emerging as the main hub of data centers in India, he said. On this occasion, Governor Yamanashi Prefecture of Japan, Kotaro Nagasaki said there have been spiritual and historical relations between Yamanashi Prefecture and Uttar Pradesh. Expressing happiness over the MoU, he said that Japan will provide mutual cooperation in labour skilled development, renewable energy, hydro power, exchange of knowledge and technology. He told the chief minister that "Japan is your second home", the statement said, adding Adityanath also spoke a few lines in Japanese.

The commentary piece in German was launched online on Saturday ahead of being published on Sunday in the flagship paper of the Axel Springer media group, which also owns the US politics news site Politico. Mr Musk uses populist and personal language to try to deny AfD’s extremist bent and the piece expands on his post on the social media platform X that he owns, on which he last week claimed that “only the AfD can save Germany”. Translated, Mr Musk’s piece said: “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has classified the AfD at the national level as a suspected extremism case since 2021. Shortly after the piece was published online, the editor of the opinion section, Eva Marie Kogel, used the US tech mogul’s own platform to post on X that she had submitted her resignation. “I always enjoyed heading the opinion department at Welt and Wams. Today a text by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. Yesterday I submitted my resignation after printing,” she posted. She included a link to the Musk commentary article. The AfD has a strong anti-immigration stance and, like incoming president Mr Trump in relation to the US, is calling for mass deportations from Germany. Earlier in December, Mr Musk not only posted in favor of AfD but the party’s hard line on immigration appeared to resonate with the incoming US vice-president, JD Vance , MSNBC reported. Senior Welt Group figures weighed in on Saturday. “Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression. This includes dealing with polarising positions and classifying them journalistically,” the newspaper’s editor-in-chief designate, Jan Philipp Burgard, and Ulf Poschardt, who takes over as publisher on January 1st, told Reuters. They said discussion about Mr Musk’s piece, which had about 340 comments several hours after it was published, was “very revealing”. Underneath Mr Musk’s commentary, the newspaper published a response by Burgard. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally false,” he wrote, referencing the AfD’s desire to leave the European Union and seek rapprochement with Russia as well as appease China. The AfD backing from Mr Musk, who also defended his right to weigh in on German politics due to his “significant investments”, comes as Germans are set to vote on February 23rd after a coalition government led by German chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed late this autumn. The AfD is running second in opinion polls and might be able to thwart either a centre-right or centre-left majority, but Germany’s mainstream, more centrist parties have pledged to shun any support from the AfD at the national level. – Guardian

The latest NFL mock draft has Texas QB Quin Ewers slotted to go 39th overall in the second round to the Cleveland Browns , which would officially signal the end of Deshaun Watson’s reign as QB1 in Cleveland. Even expert analysts have found Ewers difficult to place in draft discussions , with projections ranging with the widest net. Some mock drafts have the Texas star sneaking into the first round as high as pick No. 27 to the Seattle Seahawks, while others suggest he might go undrafted altogether. The mock draft splits the difference, predicting Ewers as the fourth quarterback taken behind Colorado's Shedeur Sanders [No. 2], Miami's Cam Ward [No. 3], and Alabama's Jalen Milroe [No. 38]. If the Browns select Ewers, he’ll enter a franchise with an injured franchise cornerstone and a fiery backup in Jameis Winston, who always has starting aspirations , should he remain with the team. Steve Sarkisian gives cryptic update on Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers plans Quinn Ewers showed true colors after Texas' controversial Arch Manning decision vs. Georgia Other quarterbacks, such as Georgia's Carson Beck, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart, appear in the draft after Ewers. The mock suggests Dart faces the greatest odds of not being selected, while Ewers remains a borderline first-round talent depending on team needs and preferences. Watson’s underwhelming performances and off-field controversies have left Cleveland searching for stability at the quarterback position. He won just one game this season out of seven starts before having season-ending surgery in October to repair his Achilles. Should Ewers declare for the NFL Draft , it would officially hand the Longhorns reins to a phenom in Manning, the highly touted freshman and football’s royal family member. Arch has already demonstrated his potential to lead the program after he stepped in for an injured Ewers earlier this season and led Texas to victories over UL Monroe and Mississippi State. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has repeatedly stated that a healthy Ewers is the team’s starter . Manning’s impressive performances in limited action have fueled excitement for what’s to come once the torch is passed. Ewers' 2023 campaign has been a statistical dip compared to his standout 2022 season. His accuracy has dropped from 69 percent to 67 percent, and while he has thrown more touchdowns, he’s also seen an increase in interceptions. Should Ewers not enter the draft, NFL experts still believe that he won't return to the Longhorns as the program reportedly prefers to move forward with Manning. Mel Kiper has the Texas QB as the sixth-best prospect, and reports suggest that if Ewers wants to continue playing college football, he'll have no issues making top NIL money in a brand-new program with as much acclaim as Texas or better.
