India is grappling with air pollution from stubble burning and vehicle emissions. The air quality index (AQI) in 12 cities in the country surpassed 400, making it “dangerous.” Primary schools in Delhi have been closed today because the air quality index exceeds 470. At a press conference, Delhi Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated that the recent drop in air quality was caused by excessive stubble burning. Politics should not be played on such a sensitive issue, according to him.
Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
