The US Coast Guard confirmed early Wednesday that rescue teams looking for the missing Titanic submersible detected “underwater noises” in the search area where the craft went missing two days earlier. “Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV (remotely operated vehicle) operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises,” the US Coast Guard’s First District said on its official Twitter page. The ROV searches “have yielded negative results but continue,” the maritime military branch added. CNN also reported that sonar picked up banging sounds, according to an internal US government memo, but that the document did not clarify when the noises were heard Tuesday, for how long, or what might have caused them. “Additional acoustic feedback was heard and will assist in vectoring surface assets and also indicating continued hope of survivors,” CNN quoted the updated government memo as saying. It was not immediately clear if the news reports were based on the same source. The Titan, operated by U.S.-based OceanGate Expeditions, was built to stay underwater for 96 hours, according to its specifications – giving the five people aboard until Thursday morning before air runs out. One pilot and four passengers were inside the miniature sub early on Sunday when it lost communication with a parent ship on the surface about an hour and 45 minutes into its two-hour dive. U.S. and Canadian aircraft have searched more than 7,600 square miles of open sea, an area larger than the state of Connecticut, U.S. Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday. A commercial vessel with a remote-controlled deepwater submersible was also searching near the site, Frederick said. Separately, a French research ship carrying its own deep-sea diving robot vessel was dispatched to the search area at the request of the U.S. Navy and was expected to arrive Wednesday night local time, the Ifremer research institute said. #ARYNews #LatestNews #News #BreakingNews #LatestUpdates #Titanic

WASHINGTON: Dozens of US President Joe Biden’s fellow Democrats urged him on Tuesday to raise human rights issues with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Washington this week, according to a letter sent to Biden. Modi left for Washington on Tuesday for a visit projected as a milestone in ties between the two countries. The US lawmakers said they were concerned about religious intolerance, press freedoms, internet access and the targeting of civil society groups. “We do not endorse any particular Indian leader or political party — that is the decision of the people of India — but we do stand in support of the important principles that should be a core part of American foreign policy,” said the letter, led by Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Pramila Jayapal. A total of 75 Democratic senators and members of the House of Representatives signed the letter, sent to the White House on Tuesday and first reported by Reuters. “And we ask that, during your meeting with Prime Minister Modi, you discuss the full range of issues important to a successful, strong, and long-term relationship between our two great countries,” the letter said. Modi has been to the United States five times since becoming prime minister in 2014, but the trip will be his first with the full diplomatic status of a state visit, despite concerns over what is seen as a deteriorating human rights situation under his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Washington hopes for closer ties with the world’s largest democracy, which it sees as a counterweight to China, but rights advocates worry that geopolitics will overshadow human rights issues. Several US rights groups plan protests during Modi’s visit. #ARYNews #LatestNews #News #BreakingNews #LatestUpdates #Modi #India #USA #PresidentJoeBiden

While addressing a press conference in London, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said that all legal complications have been removed for Nawaz Sharif’s return. “Consultation process is under and Nawaz Sharif will lead the election campaign soon.” Tarar said that the law for lifetime disqualification was inappropriate. “Even murder convicts get qualified for the parliamentary contests in five years,” he added. The law minister said that Sharif’s lawyer will decide whether bail would be sought for his return or not. Regarding the trials in military courts, Tarar said that the government will not pardon those who have attacked the defence institutions. He added that the basic rights of the accused will not be affected in the military courts. Tarar said that the accused in London and Capitol Hill attacks had also faced penalties.

PML-N UK President Zubair Gul was also present in the press conference. Earlier in the day, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi held a meeting with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif in London amid rumours of differences.

The PML-N leader reached the office of party supremo’s son Hussain Nawaz for the meeting. Talking to journalists after the meeting, Shahid Khaqan ruled out ‘any possibility’ forming a new political party and said that no differences were in the party. #ARYNews #NawazSharif #Pakistan #London

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that Pakistan strongly condemned the Israeli expansion plan to build over 4500 new settlements inside Occupied West Bank, ARY News reported “This makes the universally-accepted goal of achieving two-state solution even more distant and sows the seeds of renewed and perpetual instability and violence,” the prime minister wrote on Twitter. He said the unprovoked, illegal and unethical Israeli actions continued to undermine peace with no regard for international law, and the UN resolutions. “Pakistan is committed to supporting the Palestinians’ just struggle for an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital,” the prime minister reiterated. An Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp Thursday killed nine Palestinians including an elderly woman, Palestinian officials said, also accusing the forces of using tear gas inside a hospital children’s ward. The death toll rose to “nine martyrs including an elderly woman,” the health ministry said, with multiple wounded. It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan called for a just solution of Palestine and Kashmir issues in line with the United Nations Security Council resolutions. Pakistan condemn all acts that lead to the killing of innocent civilians including in occupied Palestinian territories. The spokesperson said Pakistan’s position on Palestine is consistent and we support a comprehensive approach to the resolution of the Palestinian question. #ARYNews #ShehbazSharif #Pakistan #Israel #WestBank
