DELHI — India's aviation safety regulator is grappling with a staffing crisis that is severely affecting its ability to fulfil its mandate, a parliamentary panel has warned in a new report.The "profound and persistent shortage" of personnel at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) poses an "existential threat" to the integrity of the safety system, says the report, tabled in the upper house of parliament on Wednesday.The lawmakers were tasked with reviewing aviation safety in the aftermath of the 12 June Air India plane crash which killed 260 people, mostly passengers.The report doesn't mention the crash, but flags several other concerns including overworked air traffic controllers.The BBC has contacted the DGCA and the civil aviation ministry for...

China's Xi touts unity and development in surprise Tibet visit
LHASA — President Xi Jinping urged unity on a surprise visit to Tibet, appearing before 20,000 people to mark 60 years since China created the autonomous region after annexing it.In what is only his second presidential visit to the tightly-controlled region, Xi praised the local government for "engaging in a thorough struggle against separatism" - a reference to decades-old Tibetan resistance to Beijing.The visit to Lhasa, which sits at an altitude that could pose health problems for the 72-year-old, suggests a desire to stamp his authority over the region.His published comments did not mention the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader who has been living in exile in India since he fled in 1959."To govern, stabilise and develop Tibet, the first thing is to maintain...

France hits back after Netanyahu accuses Macron of fueling antisemitism
PARIS — France has hit back after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused President Emmanuel Macron of fuelling antisemitism with his decision to recognize a Palestinian state.Tensions between the two nations have escalated since Macron announced last month that France intends to formally recognise Palestinian statehood in September at the United Nations General Assembly.Netanyahu wrote a letter to Macron earlier this week claiming that antisemitism has "surged" in France since that announcement."Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire," Netanyahu wrote."It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement.
