[00:00:11] Hello, this is your daily dose of news from Onmanorama.

[00:00:15] I am your host Vati Ajit and these are the major news stories of Thursday, May 16, 2024.

[00:00:24] The Supreme Court on Thursday said it has not made any exception for Delhi Chief Minister

[00:00:28] Arvind Kejriwal in granting him interim bail for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.

[00:00:36] AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, made in collaboration with Oxford University, has been

[00:00:41] found to raise the risk of a rare but fatal blood clotting disorder.

[00:00:47] Indian men's football team captain Sunil Chhetri on Thursday announced his decision

[00:00:51] to retire from international football after the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against

[00:00:55] Kuwait on June 6.

[00:00:59] Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico continued to be in a very serious but stable condition

[00:01:04] after he was shot five times in an assassination attempt on Wednesday.

[00:01:11] In a shocking incident from Kerala, a doctor from the Kodakode Medical College

[00:01:14] Hospital operated on four-year-old girl's tongue without parents' consent.

[00:01:19] Let's get into the details.

[00:01:23] The Supreme Court on Thursday said it has not made any exception for Delhi Chief Minister

[00:01:27] Arvind Kejriwal in granting him interim bail for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls

[00:01:32] and critical analysis of the judgement is welcome.

[00:01:35] A bench of justices, Sanjeev Khanna and Deepakar Dattap, declined to consider

[00:01:39] the arguments from both the Enforcement Directorate and Kejriwal's lawyer regarding statements

[00:01:43] about the interim bail for the Ahmadi Party national convener.

[00:01:47] Appearing for the ED, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta objected to Kejriwal's speeches

[00:01:51] in poll rallies that if people voted for AAP, he would not have to go back to jail

[00:01:55] on June 2.

[00:01:57] On May 10, the Apex Court granted interim bail to Kejriwal in a money laundering

[00:02:01] case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

[00:02:07] Researchers announced on Thursday that AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine developed with Oxford

[00:02:12] University increases the risk of a rare but very serious blood clotting disorder called

[00:02:16] VITT.

[00:02:18] This condition, which appeared with the adenovirus-vector-based Oxford AstraZeneca

[00:02:22] vaccine, known as Covishield in India, emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.

[00:02:28] Researchers discovered that VITT is caused by dangerous blood autoantibody targeting

[00:02:32] a protein called pletid factor 4.

[00:02:35] In 2023, scientists from Canada, North America, Germany and Italy found a similar disorder

[00:02:40] with the same PFO antibody, which was fatal in some cases after a natural adenovirus

[00:02:45] infection.

[00:02:49] The iconic Sunil Chaitri on Thursday announced his decision to retire from international

[00:02:53] football after FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Kuwait on June 6, bringing the

[00:02:57] curtains down on a career that is unparalleled in Indian football for its longevity and

[00:03:02] consistency.

[00:03:03] The long-serving national team captain announced his decision via video he posted on his

[00:03:07] social media accounts.

[00:03:09] Chaitri, who made his debut in 2005, has scored 94 goals for the country.

[00:03:14] He will leave the scene as India's all-time top scorer and most capped player.

[00:03:18] Chaitri's final match will be played at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata and

[00:03:22] it is appropriate that he will end his journey in a city where he has played a lot of his

[00:03:26] football while evolving into a potent striker.

[00:03:31] Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico was in a very serious but stable condition on

[00:03:35] Thursday, a hospital official said after he was shot five times in an assassination

[00:03:40] attempt at its late bear-deep political divisions in the country.

[00:03:43] The shooting was the first major assassination attempt on a European political leader

[00:03:47] for more than 20 years and spurred international condemnation with political analysts and

[00:03:51] lawmakers saying it was indicative of an increasingly febrile and polarized political

[00:03:55] climate across the continent.

[00:03:58] A Slovak news website reported that police had charged the suspect with attempted

[00:04:01] murder and that he could face life imprisonment.

[00:04:07] The Government Medical College Hospital in Kolkata was once again been accused of

[00:04:11] major medical negligence.

[00:04:13] The doctor operated on the tongue of four-year-old girls without the parents'

[00:04:16] consent instead of surgically removing the sixth finger of the child.

[00:04:21] The girl was admitted to the hospital for the removal of the additional finger on

[00:04:25] her hand.

[00:04:26] According to the hospital superintendent, the surgeon who entered the operation

[00:04:29] theatre for the surgery realised that the child had a medical condition called

[00:04:32] tongue-tie.

[00:04:33] Following this diagnosis, the doctor decided to operate on the girl's tongue

[00:04:37] before proceeding with the scheduled surgery.

[00:04:40] But the parents' consent was not taken before operating on the child.

[00:04:46] That brings us to the end of this episode.
