Oklahoma residents on Sunday mourned the death of former Democratic U.S. Sen. Fred Harris , a trailblazer in progressive politics in the state who ran an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1976. Harris died on Saturday at 94. Democratic Party members across Oklahoma remembered Harris for his commitment to economic and social justice during the 1960s — a period of historical turbulence. Harris chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1969 to 1970 and helped unify the party after its tumultuous national convention in 1968 when protesters and police clashed in Chicago.
NoneWhat is a biblically accurate angel? And do you need one to top your Christmas tree?The Railway Board has decided to engage its Public Sector Undertakings through competitive bidding to carry out operation and maintenance of newly constructed sheds, depots, workshops as well as rolling stock. In a recent communication to the general managers of all 17 zones, the board conveyed its decision to empower the zones to carry out a limited tendering process to for engaging PSUs. According to the Board, after the zonal Railways reported challenges related to operationalisation and maintenance of newly created assets, it constituted a committee of principal executive directors from different departments to decide upon the modalities for awarding such work to PSUs. "Executive Dte (Executive Directorate) should write a basic model document of conditions for maintenance by PSUs for each type of their assets," the Board's letter said. It added, "Based on the document, Zonal Railways may formulate detailed tender documents and engage a Railway PSU through competitive basis by calling limited tender from amongst the Railway PSUs to undertake the maintenance." The Board has also laid down 29 conditions for maintenance in the basic model document such as "Shed/Depott Workshop in its existing shape shall be handed over to the PSU for operation." The PSU shall augment the infrastructure to suit the requirement of maintenance of rolling stock and ensure maintenance of the 'infrastructure including M&Ps as per good industrial practice' among others, it said. Keeping safety in mind, one of the conditions said, "Once every year, a safety audit shall be carried out by the Railways. It shall review and analyze the Annual Safety Report and accident data of the preceding year, and undertake an inspection of the rolling stock and the assets of the shed/depot/workshop." The Board has also said the Zonal Railway shall reserve the right to terminate the contract if the performance of the PSU is not found satisfactory. Some of the railway unions have raised their objections based on some news reports which said that depots and sheds are being given to private companies for maintenance. Indian Railway Employees Federation General Secretary Sarvjeet Singh has written a letter to the Chairman and CEO of the Railway Board requesting for a clarification for the same. "A section of media as well as social media has reported that the Railway Board is handing over the operation and maintenance of the Railway’s shed/depot/workshop to private companies. If it is true, we strongly oppose this policy," Singh said. Asked for a clarification, Singh said there are over 700 workshops and 300 sheds/depots and Railway is facing an acute shortage of workforce. "In such situation, the privatisation will be against the interest of the workers and all railway unions and federations will fight tooth and nail," he said.

Lebanon's Hezbollah movement has fired heavy rocket barrages at Israel destroying houses near Tel Aviv, after a powerful Israeli airstrike killed at least 29 people in Beirut the previous day. or signup to continue reading Israel also struck Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs, where intensified bombardment over the last two weeks has coincided with signs of progress in US-led ceasefire talks. Hezbollah, which has previously vowed to respond to attacks on Beirut by targeting Tel Aviv, said it had launched precision missiles on Sunday at two military sites in Tel Aviv and nearby. Police said there were multiple impact sites in the area of Petah Tikvah, on the eastern side of Tel Aviv, and that several people had minor injuries. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a direct hit on a neighbourhood had left "houses in flames and ruins". Television footage showed an apartment damaged by rocket fire. Israel's military said Hezbollah had fired 250 rockets at Israel, of which many were intercepted, with sirens sounding across most of the country. At least four people had been injured by shrapnel. Israel's military warned on social media that it planned to target Hezbollah facilities in southern Beirut before strikes that demolished two apartment blocks, according to security sources in Lebanon. Afterwards, the IDF said it had hit command centres "deliberately embedded between civilian buildings". On Sunday, the Israeli military said it carried out strikes against 12 Hezbollah command centres in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. On Saturday, it had carried out one of its deadliest and most powerful strikes on the centre of Beirut. Lebanon's health ministry on Sunday raised the death toll from 20 to 29. It said a total of 84 people had been killed on Saturday, taking the death toll to 3754 since October 2023. The IDF did not comment on Saturday's strike in the Lebanese capital or say what it had attacked. Israel went on the offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah in September, pounding the south, the Bekaa Valley and Beirut's southern suburbs with airstrikes after nearly a year of hostilities ignited by the Gaza war. The Israeli offensive has uprooted more than one million people in Lebanon. Israel says its aim is to secure the return home of tens of thousands of people evacuated from its north due to rocket attacks by Hezbollah, which opened fire in support of Hamas at the start of the Gaza war in October 2023. US mediator Amos Hochstein highlighted progress in negotiations during a visit to Beirut last week, before travelling to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz, before returning to Washington. European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Sunday said a US ceasefire proposal was awaiting final approval from Israel. "We must pressure the Israeli government and maintain the pressure on Hezbollah to accept the US proposal for a ceasefire," he said in Beirut after meeting Lebanese officials. Israeli media reported that Netanyahu had convened a meeting of his security cabinet for Monday. Axios reporter Barak Ravid in a post on social media cited an unnamed Israeli official saying that Israel is moving towards a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. But a separate report from Israel's public broadcaster Kan said there was no green light given on an agreement in Lebanon, with issues still yet to be resolved. Diplomacy has focused on restoring a ceasefire based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended a 2006 Hezbollah-Israel war. It requires Hezbollah to pull its fighters back around 30km from the Israeli border, and the Lebanese army to deploy in the buffer zone. The Lebanese army said on Sunday at least one soldier had been killed and 18 more injured in an Israeli strike that caused severe damage at an army centre in Al-Amiriya near the southern city of Tyre. The Israeli military said it regretted the incident and was investigating, and that it was fighting against Hezbollah, not the Lebanese Army. Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, said the attack "represents a direct bloody message rejecting all efforts to reach a ceasefire, strengthen the army's presence in the south, and implement ... 1701".
