Bill Gates Bets On A Better World By 2045, Pledges $200 Billion In Aid
Despite sounding the alarm in recent years on issues like pandemics and climate change, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says he's still deeply optimistic about the future. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Gates said, "You can accuse me of being by nature an optimistic person... but I just think I'm being realistic." He believes the next two decades will bring significant improvements globally, especially in health, education and poverty reduction. Gates' hopeful stance comes amid growing geopolitical tensions and deep cuts in foreign aid by Western governments. In a blog post published Thursday, he warned that no philanthropic organisation can fill the widening funding gap left by these government decisions. "It's unclear whether the world's richest countries will continue to stand up for its poorest people," he wrote. Yet, Gates remains firm in his commitment. He has unveiled plans to distribute $200 billion through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over the next 20 years - after which the foundation will shut down. The focus: reducing maternal and child deaths, eradicating diseases like malaria, polio, and measles, and enabling millions, particularly in African nations, to escape poverty through better education and agricultural reforms. "The truth is, there have never been more opportunities to help people live healthier, more prosperous lives," Gates said, pointing to rapid advances in technology and artificial intelligence. While he cautions against seeing AI as a "magic wand," he believes it will accelerate progress in global health and development. Gates' optimism isn't without data. Child mortality rates, for instance, have halved since 1990, thanks to improved healthcare, nutrition, and vaccination access - a trend he believes can continue with renewed global cooperation and innovation. He also called on fellow billionaires to ramp up their philanthropic efforts, highlighting younger donors like Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz and MacKenzie Scott, who have pledged large portions of their wealth to social causes. "Even with all the challenges that the world faces," Gates wrote, "I'm optimistic about our ability to make progress - because each breakthrough is yet another chance to make someone's life better."

Bengal Governor Bose discharged from hospital after 23 days
Kolkata: West Bengal Governor C. V. Ananda Bose was discharged from a private hospital in Kolkata on Thursday morning after undergoing treatment there for 23 days. He was admitted to the hospital following symptoms of heart blockage on April 23. The governor's office informed that following the treatment, he recovered completely and was discharged. The health condition of the governor is stable, his office informed. "We are pleased to inform that the Honourable Governor of West Bengal, Dr C V Ananda Bose, has returned to Raj Bhavan after a brief period of medical care and rest at the hospital. We are happy to share that the Honourable Governor is now in good health and high spirits. We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who expressed their concern and conveyed their good wishes during this time. Your continued support and prayers are been highly appreciated," a statement issued by the Governor's office read. The Governor complained of uneasiness days after his return to Kolkata from the minority-dominated district of Murshidabad to review the situation there amid the communal tension and violence in several pockets of the district last month against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. However, he also submitted a report to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs based on his findings at Murshidabad. In that report, he said the West Bengal government had failed to curb communal violence. In the report, the Governor reportedly highlighted the shortcomings in the police infrastructure in West Bengal, a shortage of manpower, and an inadequately equipped police force. In his report, the Governor pointed out that because of these lapses, the necessity of deployment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in a crisis like that of Murshidabad strife was often prompted. He also called for the setting up of CAPF camps in sensitive areas, especially the minority-dominated and Bangladesh-bordering Murshidabad and Malda districts. Most importantly, he had suggested that the Union Government consider the use of provisions under Article 356 (President's rule), if necessary, to maintain the law and order situation.
