INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Typhoon Hagupit Slams into Philippines

  • A powerful typhoon roared into the eastern Philippines , bringing lashing rain and strong winds.
  • About 1 million people had already fled to shelters by the time typhoon Hagupit made landfall. Acoording to a UN agency this was one of the world's biggest peacetime evacuations. As the storm barreled in from the Pacific, power was cut across most of the central island of Samar and nearby Leyte province, including Tacloban city.
  • There was no word of any casualties. As Hagupit had weakened to a category 3 storm, two notches below "super typhoon", but could still unleash huge destruction with torrential rain and potentially disastrous storm surges of up to 4.5 meters (15 ft).

ENVIRONMENT

Drugs Released in Environment affect Plant Growth

  • According to a new study, the drugs we release into the environment are likely to have a significant impact on plant growth.
  • By assessing the impacts of a range of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, research has shown that the growth of edible crops can be affected by these chemicals, even at very low concentrations found in the environment.
  • The potential for these chemicals to influence plants is becoming increasingly relevant, particularly as waste management systems are unable to remove many compounds from our sewage. Drugs for human use make their way into soil through a number of routes, including the use of sewage sludge as fertiliser and waste water for irrigation.

BUSINESS AND ECONOMY

India Surprised this Year

  • According to the global financial services major, following two years of sub 5 percent growth, India's GDP is expected to be around 5.6 percent in 2014-15 and around 6.5 percent in 2015-16.
  • According to a report by Citigroup India has "really surprised" in 2014 and it might do so again next year as the country's GDP figure is expected to pick-up from 5.6 percent in the current fiscal to 7 percent in 2016-17.
  • The Indian economy picked up momentum, driven by business friendly Narendra Modi government, progress on RBI's financial sector reforms and sharp drop in commodity prices.
  • All these factors have been high on the radar of global investors with equity markets up 35 percent so far this year and a stable currency in the Rs. 59-63 range.

Consumer sentiment eases for 3rd month in a row

  • Consumer sentiment in India eased for the third consecutive month in November largely due to a sharp fall in expectations of business conditions in a year's time.
  • Consumer sentiment had picked up in the run up to the general election earlier in the year, but has failed to maintain the momentum.
  • The MNI India Consumer Indicator fell by 2.8 points to 120.9 in November from 123.7 in October, the lowest in 13 months.
  • The Modi government has been in office for six months, but there has so far been little lasting positive impact on consumer sentiment. Policy action may eventually feed through, although for now the outlook remains reasonably subdued.

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

NASA Craft to Probe Pluto after Nine-year Journey

  • An American probe that will explore Pluto woke up from its slumber, after a nine-year journey to take a close look at the distant body for the first time.
  • "New Horizons is healthy and cruising quietly through deep space, nearly three billion miles from home.
  • The probe came out of hibernation and transmitted a message to Earth.
  • New Horizons was launched in January 2006 and was in hibernation for 1,873 days, about two-thirds of its journey, to preserve the craft`s electric power and minimise resources needed to monitor it.
  • During its trip, NASA engineers woke the craft every few months to check if its systems were still functioning.
  • The craft`s computer has also been sending a weekly message to Earth that travels four hours to get here.
  • It aims to study Pluto, an icy body with several moons near the outer reaches of our solar system.
  • New Horizons begins its exploration of Pluto in January at a distance of about 260 million kilometers (160 million miles) from the body.
