Independence Day 2022: When and where to watch Prime Minister's Red Fort speech

-

This Monday marks the 75th Independence Day, the platinum jubilee since India got its freedom from the British colonial rule in 1947. To mark the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the citizens of the country from the ramparts of Red Fort in the national capital and present the roadmap to boost the nation's growth.

Just like every year, the tradition of addressing the nation from the historical landmark of the capital city will continue. This year marks the 75 years of independence, and the day will begin with the hoisting of the national flag at the Red Fort. The 71-year-old politician will hoist the national flag among a large gathering of audience present at the venue.

Where to watch the Prime Minister’s live speech on Independence Day?

The PM's address to the nation will be broadcast live by national public broadcaster Doordarshan. The address can also be listened to on radio through All India Radio channels. The address will also be live-streamed by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on its YouTube channel, as well as on its Twitter handle. The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) will also air the national address and will provide live updates of the speech on Twitter. Before PM Modi’s speech, newly-elected President of the country Droupadi Murmu will be addressing the nation on the eve of Independence Day.

To celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the history of its people, culture and achievements, the Government of India also launched an initiative called Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. According to the Ministry of Culture, this campaign is dedicated to the people of India who have been instrumental in bringing the country to where it is today. The campaign was launched on 12 March, 2021 which started a 75-week countdown to the 75th anniversary of independence and will end a year later on 15 August, 2023.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
