一 | HONG KONG -- The governor of California opened a week-long trip to China on Monday with an assurance that his state will always be a partner on climate issues no matter how the U.S. presidential election turns out next year.Democrat Gavin Newsom's visit comes as U.S.-Chinese relations witnessed a sharp deterioration in recent years due to trade disputes, U.S. support for self-governing Taiwan and human rights concerns, among other contentious issues.Attempting to reinforce his state's role as a global leader on climate change, Newsom began his visit with a climate-themed discussion at the University of Hong Kong. He told the audience they “can rely on California,” while addressing claims that the United States is not a reliable ally.“I want you to know, regardless of what happens nationally, sub-nationally, you have a partner in the state of California,” he said. Climate remains one area where collaboration is seen as possible and necessary. Both countries appear to have fully re-engaged in the run-up to the next U.N. climate change conference, which opens Nov. 30 in Dubai.Newsom said China and the U.S. have long-standing partnerships on the issue of climate change that he wanted to build upon. Li Yongsheng, deputy commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry in Hong Kong, said at the opening of the event that China-US relations “have shown positive signs of rebounding," and that he believed Newsom's visit will be productive.Other attendees included Gregory May, U.S. consul general in Hong Kong, Eden Woon, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, and Elsie Leung, Hong Kong former secretary for justice. But Newsome's trip to China has drawn concerns from some 60 advocacy groups and non-governmental organizations. They expressed their disappointment in a joint statement Friday characterizing the governor’s trip as a move to “explicitly turn away from engaging on critical human rights issues.”Asked if the only way to make progress on climate matters with China is not to mention human rights issues, Newsom denied the tradeoff, saying, “we can do many things at once.” After his Hong Kong trip, he will head to Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu. He will visit the first Chinese city to deploy an all-electric bus fleet, tour an offshore wind facility and see Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory. He will sign agreements with leaders of various Chinese provinces to set mutual commitments on a host of climate goals.Newsom’s agenda also includes conversations on “strengthening cultural ties and combating xenophobia,” and promoting economic development and tourism.Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled there to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions, and since leaving office, Brown has launched the California-China Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.。

二 | New Delhi, Oct 18 (UNI) A day after the Gujarat government justified its stand that Bilkis Bano's 11 convicts remission was correc, lawyer Kapil Sibal on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that all the 11 should be sent to jail.
"They should be inside" the jail, in my opinion," Sibal, appearing for petitioners Subhashini Ali and others told a two-judge Bench headed by Justice Ajay Rastogi and also comprising Justice C T Ravikumar.
The Supreme Court granted time to the petitioners to file their responses to the Gujarat government's affidavit filed on Monday. The Supreme Court fixed the next date of hearing as November 29.
The Gujarat government in its detailed affidavit filed said that third party strangers have no locus to challenge remission orders passed by competent authority strictly as per law.
"It is pertinent to note that the petitioner, (Subhashini Ali) who is admittedly a political functionary, has not even pleaded that how she has the locus to seek for quashing the order of remission passed by Respondent no 1 (Gujarat government) with respect to the 11 convicts sentenced by the Special Judge, Greater Mumbai," the Gujarat government said.
Questioning the maintainability of the batch of pleas challenging the release of 11 convicts in Bilkis Bano case, the Gujarat government argued that the petitioner has nowhere pleaded as to how her fundamental rights have been abridged.
The state government has considered the cases of all 11 prisoners as per the policy of 1992 and remission was granted on August 10, 2022, it said.
The Supreme Court was hearing the petitions filed by CPI (M) MP Subhasini Ali, journalist Revati Laul and Prof Roop Rekha Verma challenging the Gujarat government’s decision to grant remission to the 11 for killing 14 persons and sexually assaulting pregnant Bilkis Bano during the 2002 riots.
