Wylie did not respond to messages requesting updates on Rushdie's condition on Saturday, though the New York Times reported that Rushdie had started to talk, citing Wylie. In a statement on Saturday, President Joe Biden commended the "universal ideals" that Rushdie and his work embody. Rushdie was stabbed 10 times, prosecutors said during Matar's arraignment, according to the Times. There has been no official government reaction in Iran to the attack on Rushdie, but several hardline Iranian newspapers praised his assailant. A Hezbollah official told Reuters on Saturday that the group had no additional information on the attack on Rushdie.

"Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged." Stunned attendees helped wrest the man from Rushdie, who had fallen to the floor. The Iranian government said in 1998 it would no longer back the fatwa, and Rushdie has lived relatively openly in recent years. 1/25 A general view shows UPMC Hamot Surgery Center, where novelist Salman Rushdie is receiving treatment after the attack, in Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S., August 12, 2022. "I felt like we needed to have more protection there because Salman Rushdie is not a usual writer," said Anour Rahmani, an Algerian writer and human rights activist who was in the audience.

☆ Dilip Kumar, una dintre cele mai mari vedete ale epocii de aur a cinematografiei indiene, a murit

Alături de Dev Anand şi Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar a fost unul dintre cei trei monştri sacri ai epocii de aur a Bollywood-ului, cuprinsă între sfârşitul anilor 1940 până la începutul anilor 1960.Poreclit "regele tragediei" din cauza sobrietăţii sale naturale, Dilip Kumar a apărut în peste jumătate de secol în circa şaizeci de filme, jucând în unele dintre cele mai emblematice producţii indiene ale perioadei respective.Kumar şi-a ratat însă probabil ocazia de a avea o carieră internaţională, refuzând oferta lui David Lean de a-l pe juca Cherif Ali în "Lawrence of Arabia", lansat în 1962. În cele din urmă, Omar Sharif a acceptat rolul.Pe numele său real Mohammed Yusuf Khan, Dilip Kumar s-a născut pe 11 decembrie 1922 la Peshawar, un oraş situat azi în nordul Pakistanului care făcea parte atunci din India britanică.Tatăl său, un negustor de fructe, şi-a dus familia la Bombay în anii 1930.Tânărul a refuzat să preia afacerea familiei după ce a fost remarcat de actriţa Devika Rani care i-a permis să apară în 1944 în primul său film, "Jwar Bhata".Ea l-a convins să-şi schimbe numele pentru a intra în lumea cinematografiei fără ştirea tatălui său care nu a aprobat această carieră.Una dintre cele mai faimoase interpretări ale sale rămâne rolul din "Mughal-E-Azam", unul dintre cele mai mari succese ale cinematografiei indiene, lansat în 1960, care spune povestea legendară a unei iubiri imposibile dintre un prinţ mogul şi sclava sa.Spre deosebire de alţi actori de la Bollywood care au apărut în sute de filme, Dilip Kumar şi-a ales cu grijă proiectele cinematografice, ceea ce nu a făcut decât să-i consolideze aura de star într-o industrie cinematografică extrem de concurenţială.La sfârşitul anilor 1990, el s-a implicat mai mult în politică, acceptând să lucreze pentru reconcilierea dintre India şi Pakistan. Doi ani mai târziu, a fost ales parlamentar al Partidului Congresului, atunci aflat în opoziţie.

☆ Mii de indieni, “vaccinați” cu apă salină împotriva COVID-19. Escrocii au obţinut 28.000 de dolari de pe urma victimelor

Mii de oameni au fost victimele unei grupări infracţionale care vindea vaccinuri false împotriva COVID-19 în India, informează Mediafax. „Taberele false de vaccinare foloseau apă salină în loc de serul împotriva COVID-19”, a spus Thakur. Aşa numitele „tabere de vaccinare” au început să apară între sfârşitul lunii mai şi începutul lunii iunie, potrivit CNN - News 18. Siddharth Chandrashekhar, avocat în Mumbai, a intentat un proces de interes public pe 24 iunie, moment în care procurorul a confirmat deja peste 2.000 de victime ale escrocilor. Acuzaţiile sunt „cu adevărat şocante”, a declarat Înalta Curte din Bombay în dosar, îndemnând autorităţile de stat şi locale să ia măsuri „pentru ca indivizii nevinovaţi să nu fie înşelaţi în viitor”.
