List steps you plan against betting apps, SC asks government
. NEW DELHI: Expressing serious concern over the deleterious impact of addictive betting applications on youth, the Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre to respond in two weeks what steps it is contemplating to save youngsters from getting financially ruined, often forcing them to commit suicide. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi asked the counsel for Centre to specify in its affidavit "what remedial measures it is contemplating after applying mind to the gravity of the issue". The counsel said another bench is examining whether these apps are akin to gambling, requiring them to be banned, and the decision in that case would have a direct bearing on reliefs sought in a PIL filed by K A Paul. But the bench said, "You (the Centre) do not appear to take the problem seriously". The judges also issued notices to some states, RBI, ED, TRAI, Google India, Apple India, Dream11 and other gaming companies to file responses in two weeks. The petitioner had sought a complete ban on illegal betting apps and strict regulation of online gaming and fantasy sports, alleging these are being popularised by film stars, famous cricketers and other celebrities and end up drawing youth to the apps like moths to a flame. He said the more than 150-year-old Public Gambling Act, 1867, is unable to deal with the menace. Over 24 incidents of suicide have been reported from Telangana alone in the last one and a half years and are directly linked to debt traps created by gambling/betting platforms.

Road digging without PWD nod to be banned to curb accidents: Goa CM Pramod Sawant
Porvorim: Underscoring the state's road safety crisis, chief minister Pramod Sawant said that the current road accident fatality rate exceeds that of Covid-19. 'People would stay at home for the fear of Covid-19 when one to two people lost their lives every day,' Sawant told the House. 'Now, on an average, two people die in road accidents in Goa every day.' Replying to the calling attention motion on rising accidents, the CM said that state govt will soon impose a 100% ban on road digging without prior permission from the PWD. A circular to this effect will be issued shortly, he said. The calling attention motion was moved by MLAs Vijai Sardesai, Carlos Ferreira, Viresh Borkar, Venzy Viegas, Yuri Alemao, Cruz Silva, and Altone D'Costa. The motion pointed to the rising number of fatal accidents attributed to poor road maintenance despite Supreme Court directives and state govt orders. Sawant acknowledged that nearly 50% of accidents in Goa are due to poor road conditions and signal issues, with a lack of coordination among departments being a primary reason. 'Roads repaired by one agency are often dug up soon after by another,' he said. To address this issue, Sawant said govt will recover road digging and repair costs from contractors who proceed without the PWD's permission. The chief minister also announced that utility ducts for cabling and piping works will be made mandatory during the construction of major roads, a measure aimed at preventing repeated digging. Sawant said that stress will be laid on strengthening road engineering to improve construction standards. A specialised team has been formed to identify accident-prone black spots across the state, enabling targeted interventions in high-risk areas, he said. Govt has already taken several initiatives in compliance with the guidelines of the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety, Sawant said. He said these include the restoration of crash barriers, construction of standardised speed breakers, implementation of speed limits, installation of traffic signboards and road markings, and median plantation projects. He said show-cause notices have been issued to defaulting contractors, with rectification work being carried out at contractors' expense during the defect liability period.

Brazil's Supreme Court judge Moraes defies US sanctions, vows to continue Bolsonaro trial
Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against Trump ally Bolsonaro, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and 'ignore the sanctions' imposed by the US that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system read more Brazil's Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes talks during Brazil's Supreme Court trial over an alleged coup attempt, in Brasilia, Brazil on June 9, 2025. Reuters File Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and 'ignore the sanctions' imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system. On Wednesday, the US imposed sanctions on Moraes for overseeing the trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing the judge of authorising arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppressing freedom of expression. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Justice Moraes has presided over the criminal case against Bolsonaro, who has been charged with plotting a coup to overturn Brazil's 2022 presidential election after his supporters violently stormed government buildings following the election victory of leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The US sanctions were accompanied by an executive order imposing a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, which was also tied to the case Moraes is overseeing against Bolsonaro, an unwavering supporter of the US president. Bolsonaro, a far-right former army captain, and several of his closest allies were charged with plotting a coup to overturn his 2022 electoral loss, in a case that was in many ways similar to accusations against Trump. Moraes said the court would not submit itself to foreign coercion or what he likened to new coup attempts by Bolsonaro's allies. Moraes said the Federal Supreme Court will continue to exercise its role as guardian of the Constitution. 'It will continue to exercise its role in criminal proceedings so that it can provide a final answer to all Brazilian society regarding who was truly responsible' for the attempted coup, he said, adding that there will be due process of law with no internal or external interference. Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, a son of the former president who moved to the U.S. to persuade the White House to intervene in his father's favor, has claimed credit for Trump's policies on Brazil. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'This criminal organization's insistence on implementing measures harmful to Brazil, by encouraging the imposition of these tariffs and making spurious and illegal attacks against Brazilian public officials, is aimed at creating a severe economic crisis in the country,' he said. 'But to the dismay of these traitorous Brazilians, that crisis will not happen.' Moraes added that the court would conclude the trial of those accused of attempting a coup d'état before the end of the year.
