Arthroscopy & Arthroscopic Surgery Specialists - Work Comp Lawyers

We are Missouri Lawyers specialized in Arthroscopy & Arthroscopic Surgeries Caused by Work Acciddents.

Experienced Arthroscopy Lawyers

Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn or floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage.

We have experience handling injuries that result in these types of surgeries in the context of  a Missouri Workers Compensation case.  These types of surgeries often impact the injured worker in ways that leave the worker with some level of permanent partial disability of the body part on which the doctor performs the surgery.  We know how to get you the most money under the law and based on the facts of your particular case in order to compensate you for your permanent partial disability.

Types of Arthroscopy

  • Knee Arthroscopy
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy
  • Wrist Arthroscopy
  • Spinal Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic procedures treat for the following conditions and are used to diagnose:

  • Spinal Disc Herniations
  • Spinal Deformities
  • Spinal Trauma
  • Knee Injuries
  • Shoulder Injuries
  • Wrist Injuries

Results-Oriented Representation

We work diligently to obtain the most favorable result possible in your case. We aggressively pursue a settlement that covers your medical bills and rehabilitation as well as provisions for the improvement of your work space to minimize the possibility of future injury. We know that each case is different and we pride ourselves on our ability to create customized solutions that address the unique needs of your case.

We will look at the injured body part and medical evidence to determine how to obtain full and complete recovery in your particular case.

No Recovery, No Fee!

Spirituality in Schools

Not believing in God at all brought some kind of emptiness in our minds and hearts. In our Western world spirituality is excluded from schools. If you want your child to learn about the spiritual aspect of our being, you enroll the kid in Sunday school or a similar educational institution, which is usually organized by a certain church.

In other words, we have separated the world of science (primary school) and the world of religion (Sunday school). Some scientists are even trying to prove that there is no God.

On one hand, it is good to have secularized school, so that the church cannot exert too much power over people. And God has given us a brain capable of discovering and inventing, so science and technology are meant to be. On the other hand though, not believing in God at all brought some kind of emptiness in our minds and hearts. Many people with mental illness, for example, report betterment, when they turn to prayer. I, for instance, turned to the Phyllis Krystal method, which connected me to the so called Higher Consciousness (the Hi C). The Hi C or God in my inner world are one and the same. And faith in God helps me cope with schizoaffective disorder.

It is not easy to rely on science on one hand and believe in God on the other hand. Some scientists have accepted both (e.g. Albert Einstein), some were losing faith in God (e.g. Charles Darwin). Thus, it is no wonder that spirituality disappeared from schools. One cannot teach that God created all living beings and that they evolved through genetic natural selection at the same time.

Or perhaps one can? What if we say that God created evolution as a process? That way the quarrel between evolutionists and creationists could be settled.

Another, even bigger problem with the possible introduction of spirituality in schools is the form of introducing God. The children come from different religious backgrounds, therefore we cannot find a common form. A common form of spirituality would also, in my opinion, be too abstract for children. It is very difficult to talk about God and not be religious in some way.

Maybe the future will bring an answer how to fill the gap, which evolved, when the Western world started to deny the spiritual part of a human being. Tolerating different religious views is, in my opinion, a step in the right direction.

Take care,

Helena Smole, author of:

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page working on new music

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has been working on new music.

"I play guitar at least once a week," Page tells Rolling Stone, "But now that the Zeppelin project is finished, I'll be playing daily for the foreseeable future. I want to get myself back into playing shape. I'm a bit of a perfectionist about these things."

Due June 2 (June 3 in North America), deluxe editions of "Led Zeppelin", "Led Zeppelin II" and "Led Zeppelin III" are the first releases announced as part of an extensive program that will see all nine of the band’s studio albums reissued in chronological order, each with a bonus disc of previously unreleased material.

The guitarist spent two-and-a-half years combing through the vaults, listening to hundreds of quarter-inch tapes before choosing the best material for the series.

That doesn't mean he hasn't continued to write music.

"I've got lots of material I've written on acoustic guitar," he says. "Lots and lots. And right now I need to get myself up to speed, and that won't take too long. But I don't know what musicians I'd play with. I do have material and a passion for it. I need to work towards it, and now I can without all the other side issues going on."

“I don't know what's going to happen,” Page says of his plans in the short term. “At this moment, it's safe to say that I haven't been playing gigs. I've been doing this Zeppelin project, but now I intend to start getting to a point where I could play some gigs. But what those gigs are going to be, I don't know yet. I have ideas of what I want to do, but they're pretty complex. I would love to play live again. I love playing live. It's wonderful."

Each year since Led Zeppelin teamed up with Jason Bonham (son of their late drummer, John) to perform a special one-off show at London’s 02 Arena in 2007 – which resulted in the “Celebration Day” release – Page has been talking about getting out and playing live, but he’s only managed a few appearances to date

In 2008, Page and Zep bassist John Paul Jones appeared with the Foo Fighters at the band's concert at Wembley Stadium in London, performing "Rock And Roll" and "Ramble On."

The guitarist then performed with Leona Lewis at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Page inducted Jeff Beck into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2009, joining his friend in a live performance of "Beck's Bolero" that included a bit of "Immigrant Song."

The guitar icon played publicly three times in 2011, joining Donovan at the Royal Albert Hall in London, The Black Crowes at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, and with Roy Harper at Harper's 70th-birthday celebratory concert in London's Royal Festival Hall.

Urban Research and Architecture:
Beyond Henri Lefebvre

The interdisciplinary conference Urban Research and Architecture: Beyond Henri Lefebvre brings together recent applications of Lefebvre's theory in order to develop new concepts for the analysis of contemporary processes of urbanization and to suggest new design tools for architecture and urbanism.

Rediscovered in the 1990’s, Lefebvre’s theory opened up new ways of understanding of processes of urbanization, their conditions and consequences at any scale of social reality: from the practices of everyday life, through the urban scale, to the global flows of people, capital, information and ideas. At the same time, this theory has the potential to relate urban research and design practices because of its programmatic questioning of the links between urban analysis, the critique of urbanism, and the vision of a new type of social space in the contemporary city.

This conference is a joint engagement of the Chair of Architecture Theory and the Lectureship of Sociology at the Department of Architecture ETH Zurich, in cooperation with the Delft School of Design at the Delft University of Technology and the Jan van Eyck Academie (Maastricht).

The conference will take place at the ETH Zurich, November 24th–26th, 2009. It follows the symposium Rethinking Theory, Space and Production: Henri Lefebvre Today which took place at the TU Delft, November 11th–13th, 2008.

All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu: Fiji will feel no fear in battle with England

New Zealand legend sounds early warning for England

Fiji's wing Nemani Nadolo
Fiji's wing Nemani Nadolo

Former New Zealand winger Jonah Lomu has warned England that Fiji will feel no fear in tomorrow's World Cup opener and can cause an upset at Twickenham.

England launch their World Cup campaign against the Pacif ic Islanders, knowing victory will be essential to their hopes of escaping Pool A, where Wales and Australia are also fighting to make the quarter-finals.

Fiji recorded a shock win against Wales in 2007 to reach the last eight and Lomu, who scored 15 tries across the 1995 and 1999 World Cups, believes they can defy the odds again.

"They have an upset in them," Lomu said. Somewhere along the line they're going to knock over a big team and it could be England.

"The majority of their players, 80 per cent of them or so, they play in Europe.

"They're not intimidated in terms of playing against these guys because they play against them week in week out. They are a threat.

"England don't see Fiji too often so they have to assert their authority early on and shut them out from the beginning.

"If you give them a sniff that they have a chance, it could be a long day at the office for the England team."

One Fiji player capable of hurting England is Nemani Nadolo, the 20-stone juggernaut winger who has scored 15 tries in 20 international matches.

The 6ft 5in powerhouse has lit up the southern hemisphere's Super 15 competition with Crusaders over the last two seasons and is the latest dangerman to be compared with Lomu, a tag the former All Black admits is not always helpful.

"I think about that all the time," Lomu said.

"I have two sons and people are always asking, 'are they going to play rugby?' It just comes with the territory.

"When I first came on the scene and did what I did - it means people are looking for the next one all the time and so lots of players get labelled that or something similar.

"It's difficult. I've had that for the past 20 years.

"The man is a great player. He's going to do his best for his home nation, he's done some wonderful things for Crusaders and now he's here, I'm pretty sure we're going to see some priceless moments from that man."

Hilty to Retire from 7 W New York

Su Hilty, vice president of marketing for 7 W New York and a familiar friendly face in the gift and tabletop industry, will retire in June.

Hilty joined the showroom building in 2004, after serving as vice president of marketing for the 225 Fifth Ave. showroom building. MMPI, 7 W New York's owner, credited her with playing a crucial role in establishing the building as a showroom location for vendors in the gift, home-furnishings, tabletop and textiles industries.

"We reluctantly accept Su's resignation knowing 7 W and MMPI will not be the same without her efforts and dedication," said Joan Ulrich, senior vice president, MMPI. "We were lucky to have Su lead the marketing charge when we launched 7 W and she has continued to support our customers and team with best-in-class marketing. While we will miss her personally and professionally, Hilty's decision to start this new chapter in her life will allow her to pursue her passion for travel, as well as expand her involvement with charity organizations and other volunteer associations. She is truly a valued resource and we intend to continue to tap into her talents whenever possible."

Hilty will remain involved with the International Furnishings and Design Association, where she was past president of the New York chapter. She will also maintain her involvement in the Home Products Advisory Board of the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Fashion Group International, Gift for Life, Alpha Chi Omega and the Global Give Back Circle.

"After a varied and rewarding career and finally achieving MMPI's highest honor, the coveted Marty Award last year, I felt the timing was right for the next step," Hilty said. "This is never an easy decision, but while I may be resigning from 7 W, my love for and connection with the home and gift industry will continue along with the visits I plan to make with friends and family and the many places still to see and experience."

Jessica Kreider, marketing manager for 7 W New York, will assume many of Hilty's responsibilities and will work closely with Nancy Michael, senior marketing and strategy director for MMPI.

Day 143: Impressions of India

India wasn't nearly as difficult to travel in than others led us to believe, likely due to the poverty we'd already been experiencing. The main difference was that it stood out more. In Madagascar, for example, everyone was poor, so it was less noticeable, if that makes sense. In India, you can see the extreme distribution of wealth and it's enhanced by the setting. Great forts and palaces create a medieval feeling where kings and queens sit looking down at their village, including its peasants. The poor aren't hidden down alleyways and in ghettos like so many Western cities.

The number of children begging was certainly difficult to see, but again, not unusual. It was a sad sight that we've seen in each country we've visited (except Reunion and Mauritius). We've struggled to decide on an area to support as there are so many that are valuable. But for India, we've decided to focus our efforts on improving the rights of women. With rape,  gender selection, and girls dying at three times the rate of boys from malnutrition, it's clear that the women in India need some support.

Overall, our experience in India was positive with lots of delicious food, easy bus rides, and marvellous architecture. Whether or not you believe in Hinduism, there is no denying the beauty in their religious celebrations and buildings. And watching women walk through the streets in their saris is just mystical.

Leg Three showed us culture, history, and a view into the lives of one sixth of the world's population. We're leaving feeling like there are many corners of Nepal and India left to explore. We had high hopes to create a video to some great Hindu music but have settled on another one of our favourites.

A Complete Report Card: Two years of AAP Government in Delhi

The Aam Aadmi Party government has completed two years in power on February 14 after it reoccupied the Delhi Secretariat at Players’ Building with a brute majority in 2015.

A better part of these two years was marked by a tug of war with the NDA government at the Centre and the then lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung over administrative jurisdiction. In the ongoing legal battle, the first round went to the L-G when the Delhi high court stamped the latter as the real administrator of the national capital. While the AAP government consistently accused the Centre of creating obstacles in governance and stalling projects, it has claimed to have done some pioneering work, especially in the field of healthcare and school education.

Now, as the government completes two of its five years, HT conducts a reality check on some of its big-ticket promises.

Are mohalla clinics a game changer in Delhi?

Over five months, 110 mohalla clinics have treated 8 lakh patients, as per the government data. The AAP government showcased this as a path breaking achievement and received international acclaim. However, insiders believe that the project is still in its nascent stage and is far from being a game changer for health sector.

World leaders like former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and former WHO director general Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland praised the project for aiming to provide free public health care and indicated the need to scale up the project as well as improve its management. “The project could be a model for all Indian states embarking on the UHC (Universal Health Care) journeys,” read the letter to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal by Annan in his capacity as chair of The Elders, an organisation of independent global leaders founded by Nelson Mandela.

The government had planned to set up 1,000 mohalla clinics for consultation, medicines and tests free of cost by the end of 2016. This deadline has been extended to March 2017 but it is unlikely that the government will be able to meet it. With, only around 110 mohalla clinics functional, the AAP government has sought to take refuge in its infamous tussle with the lieutenant governor and Centre.

“The government had said that the project will reduce over-crowding in tertiary care centres like ours. However, the impact cannot be felt just with the 100 clinics. Once the project is complete we will be able to see the results,” said Punita Mahajan, medical director of Baba Saheb Ambedkar hospital.

Doctors working with the project also point to some inconsistencies.

“Looking at just the model clinic is not enough. Apart from routine out-patient clinic, we provide immunisation to children, DOTS centre for TB treatment and counselling for male sterilisation but these services are not available in the other clinics,” said Dr Alka Choudhary, who is posted in Peera Garhi Mohalla Clinic. Also, all clinics are not able to provide the promised 212 tests; her clinic provides only 25 tests, she said.

Space constraint and slow technology also add to the woes of doctors. “Since the time the clinic has started, the number of people has kept on increasing, so much so, that there is no place for the patients to wait. Add to that the slow tabs and the numerous fields we have to fill in, the wait period just keeps on increasing,” said Dr Preeti Saxena from Pandav Nagar mohalla clinic.

The BJP has also flagged the lack of monitoring in the project that has allegedly resulted in doctors giving inflated numbers to get bigger pay checks as they get paid on per patient basis. “I know of clinics where people with chronic conditions like COPD, asthma, diabetes are called every other day to get their medicines. This is done to drive up the OPD numbers as they get paid ₹30 per patient,” said Dr Choudhary, who is a contractual doctor under NRHM and has been posted in the clinic.

“Initially, doctors inflating the numbers for more money was a concern for us too but we later realised that these clinics receive so many patients that the doctor can either treat them or sit and fill in records,” a Delhi government official said.

Touts ruin plan to provide free medicines in Delhi govt hospitals

Patients have to queue up for several hours to get even basic medicines.

Delhi’s list of essential drugs — comprising tablets, injections, syrups, drops and ointments given free of cost at all government dispensaries, clinics and hospitals — names 1,390 medicines, nearly four times the National List of Essential Medicines which has 376 medicines.

Almost all the medicines in the list are available for free at government pharmacies and doctors only prescribe medicines from the expanded drug list so that patients do not have to go to private chemists. However, patients have to queue up for several hours to get even basic medicines.

“I came to the hospital at 7am and waited for two hours to meet the doctor. Since then, I have been standing in the queue for cough and fever medicines and it’s 1.30pm now. I still have fever and I can’t wait any longer. I have no choice but to buy it from a chemist,” said Kusum Kumari at the Lok Nayak Hospital pharmacy.

“My mother has a heart condition and needs regular medication. We pick up medicines every 15 days when we bring her for a check-up and end up spending the whole day at the hospital to get the medicines. My sister stands in the queue while I take my mother to the OPD, and when I’m done, I stand in the line,” said Roshanara Khatun, 47, who goes to the clinic in Tahirpur.

Adding to the delay are touts lurking around medicine counters offering free medicines for a small price. Standing in a queue at the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital pharmacy, a woman who did not want to be named said, “I get my asthma medicines here each month. There are three-four boys here, who get you the medicines in 15 minutes for Rs 100-300, depending on the price of medicines.”

“Paying the touts for free medicine is still cheaper than the commercial price,” she said.

There are many who can’t afford to pay touts. “The queue takes hours as people with access get medicines from the other side of the counter. If we have to pay the touts, then what is the point of free medicines? Besides, I do not really have the money to pay,” said Mohammed Alam, 67, who had come to collect his blood pressure medication to GTB hospital.

To ensure there’s no shortage, Delhi government has asked hospitals maintain a stock of three months for commonly-used medicines and has given medical superintendents the power to buy medicines in small quantities when there’s an unexpected shortage.

Govt high on ideas on Delhi pollution but low on implementation

November 2016 saw the city enveloped in dense smog with particulate matter shooting to unprecedented levels. PM10 levels in November at Anand Vihar touched 1,700 mark (the safe limit is 100). (Raj K Raj/HT Photo)

Ahead of the 2015 assembly polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) gave an elaborate statement of purpose in its manifesto about reforming the health and education sectors. What it did not have was a clear road map to curb pollution.

In December 2015, after the Delhi High Court called the capital a “gas chamber”, the fledgling government was forced to react. Taking suo moto cognisance of reports on rising air pollution, the court had directed the Centre and the Delhi government to submit an action plan to deal with the problem.

Delhi is one of the world’s most polluted cities with some studies putting daily pollution related fatalities in the capital at as high as eight. November 2016 saw the city enveloped in dense smog with particulate matter shooting to unprecedented levels. PM10 levels in November at Anand Vihar touched 1700 mark (the safe limit is 100).

During the course of its two-year rule, the AAP government proved that it is neither short of ideas nor political will when it comes to tackling pollution. But when it decided to go ahead with odd-even car rationing plan, it lacked the conviction to go the whole hog. It also didn’t use the pollution-free months in 2016 to prepare for the winter spike.

“In 2015-16, there was a sense of optimism as the Delhi government came up with a short-term action plan and implemented the odd-even plan. After that there was a slowdown and the government missed out on rolling out a sustained plan of action. Months later, we got caught in the deadly smog and got into a reactive mode. This time the action has to be sustained,” says Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).

Jagan Shah, director, National Institute of Urban Affairs, agreed. “Air pollution spiked to alarming levels, so the government came up with a slew of measures. But, it was quite late. High decibel announcements are made which often fizzle out later.”

A look at steps taken by the government showed these either lost steam midway or were implemented without a comprehensive long-term strategy.

World over, collection of data is the first step to fighting pollution. The Delhi government talked of deploying mobile monitoring stations. But a related plan to put up screens at public places is yet to take off. Although ₹137 crore was allocated, a senior government official said it may not be implemented at all.

“We are looking at widening air quality monitoring network with 20 new stations. These will all have screens to display real-time pollution readings,” the official said. More monitoring points will help micro handling of air quality.

The SC recently asked the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to withdraw funds from the environment compensation charge fund to buy equipment for new monitoring stations across Delhi-NCR. In Delhi, apart from CPCB, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, SAFAR (under the Union government) and the US embassy have installed pollution testing mechanisms. Delhi has 28 stations — four by DPCC, eight by the Met department and the rest by CPCB.

In 2015, the AAP government launched odd-even car rationing plan – a brave move in a city where the total number of vehicles is set to touch 10 million. Though there was no visible impact on air pollution, the first phase saw reduced traffic on roads. But the second phase resulted in “more congestion on roads”.

A study by School of Planning and Architecture also showed that the share of private vehicles in the city rose by almost 50% during odd-even phase two. “Vehicle owners became smarter and bought second hand cars. People went for retrofitted CNG kits, which pollute more. The air quality also dipped due to factors like lack of wind speed,” said Dr S Velmurugan, senior principal scientist, traffic engineering and safety division at CSIR-CRRI. The poor state of public transport didn’t help either.

Dust and farm fires

The AAP government banned construction activity to check pollution by dust in November and December last year. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), dust is the highest source of pollution in Delhi and contributes to 52% of particulate matter.

The government steps, however, were not backed by intensive measures such as step-by-step demolition, covering construction site during demolition and use of sprinklers. Mechanical sweeping never took off properly.

Every year, farm fires in Punjab and Haryana raise pollutants by over six times the limit. The Delhi government has raised the issue but despite court bans and fines, the practice continued.

With the Centre notifying the graded response action plan, it is time for the AAP government to show it is ready to walk the talk. The plan assigns specific responsibility to each agency to counter pollution. Environment Pollution Control Committee chief Bhurelal said : “Over two years, the government has taken steps. The biggest milestone will be the graded action system. The onus is on the state government now,” he said.

AAP govt struggles to fix Delhi’s public transport system

People come to bus stands in Chittaranjan Park for odd reasons — to wait for their cabs, to sleep on the benches or to find shelter from rain — few however come here to catch a bus.

Ambika Sen who lives near CR Park’s Market III says the two bus stops are empty most of the time. “That’s because buses rarely come here. Nobody has the time to wait for 20 minutes Be it the metro or cabs, there are quicker options available,” she said.

Residents also say that buses mostly use a different route via the main roads. “Maybe they do it because only few people use them now. The buses which do come to the stands operate only on two or three routes,” said Puneet Ray who lives near Market II.

CR Park is just one of the hundreds of places in Delhi were finding a bus is like spotting a meteorite in the sky. Data with the transport department suggest that out of 674 bus routes, over 230 have become obsolete. “Bus route rationalisation, keeping in mind the accessibility to bus system within a colony, is very important. Many routes that originated from/passed through colonies have been withdrawn due to traffic/road conditions in colonies,” said Ashok Bhattacharjee, a former UTTIPEC director.

Bhattacharjee said reliability is another aspect that needs attention. “Information availability and bus to bus and bus to metro seamless interchange facility at all major junctions by relocating bus stops for reduced distance must be ensured,” he said.

The Delhi government wants to rationalise bus routes, however, it is yet to decide whether to do a fresh study or use the report prepared by Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) back in 2010-11.

In their first budget, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had promised to induct 10,000 more buses in five years while in the manifesto, the promise was to add 5,000 buses. In its second budget presented last year, the government said it would procure 1000 new low floor non-AC buses, 1000 under the cluster bus scheme and another 1000 under a new premium category during 2016-17.

However, not a single bus has been added to the low-floor fleet and only 215 have been added under the cluster scheme. The plan for premium buses did not materialize as the L-G asked the government to re-work on it.

“The first thing that needs to be done is to bring a transport policy for Delhi. At present, actions and projects are taken up on ad-hoc basis. A policy would allow the government to unclog Delhi and reduce air pollution in a scientific way,” said Nalin Sinha, transportation and road safety consultant.

He added that the government must allocate one per cent of its budget for promoting pedestrians and cyclists each year. The odd-even experiment showed that extra buses can solve the problem of public transport AAP government’s failure to procure buses can lead to big mess.

Data show that bus fleet has reduced by over 35% in six years. Delhi Transport Corporation, which used to operate 6204 buses in 2010-11, is operating only 4020 buses due to which ridership has also reduced considerably. Only 21.80% Delhi commutes by bus, but the share of buses among all registered vehicles in Delhi has gone down from 1.52% in 1980-81 to less than 0.36% now. The depleting fleet of DTC buses and its image of poor man’s service have kept commuters away.

Last-mile connectivity

The Capital has had a tumultuous affair with e-rickshaws over the past few years. The battery-operated rickshaws have emerged as a complementary mode of para-transit for last mile connectivity. What contributed the most to its unbridled growth is the absence of a policy and within a small time these have become a major cause of traffic congestion.

After temporary ban was enforced by Delhi High Court on battery-operated rickshaws, the Central government notified a policy in October 2010. Since then, the Delhi government has started registering e-rickshaws and issuing licences. However, these three-wheelers are far complying with the regulations.

Around a lakh e-rickshaws ply on city roads, but only around 21,000 are registered. Last year, the government promised to enhance subsidy for e-rickshaw drivers from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000. However, the scheme failed to take off and it was re-introduced last month.

Meanwhile, over 85,000 autos, comprising AAP’s biggest vote bank, continue to charge commuters arbitrarily. This year, the government has decided to issue 10,000 permits to auto drivers, the application process for which is underway.

Delhi congestion: Experts, AAP govt not on same page on road designing

Experts say the redesigning plan must be made road specific as the requirement of each stretch is different(Sonu Mehta/Hindustan Times)

As an increasing number of vehicles choke Delhi’s roads, the big question is how to decongest its busy stretches. While the government moved a plan to redesign roads one-and-a-half years ago, experts said the idea is difficult to implement and of little use.

To implement Delhi government’s ambitious scheme of redesigning of 10 roads, Public Works Department (PWD) visited officials the BRT stretch and Ring Road near Andrews Ganj. The visit revealed there was no possibility of reducing space for vehicles and allocating it to pedestrians and cyclists.

Experts said, the redesigning plan must be made road specific as the requirement of each stretch is different. “Government wanted to provide space for pedestrians and cyclists in the existing road but the situation is different at different roads. In Andrews Ganj, the road cannot be narrowed further to give space to non-motorised vehicles. Consultants have suggested different plans for different roads,” said a PWD official.

Some even called the idea impossible.

“The government should have a road engineering department so that at least in coming projects, they have adequate space for every vehicle,” said Rohit Baluja, Institute of Road Traffic Education.

According to PWD officials, there is need to create additional infrastructure to accommodate more vehicles, but the government wants to focus on redesigning of existing roads. Sources said that the PWD prepared a plan of east-west and north-south corridor in the city, but government is yet to take a call.

“It is surprising why the government is not focusing on maintaining city roads,” said Dr S Velmurugan, principal scientist, CRRI. However, government officials say facilities for pedestrians need to be increased to encourage.

“Pedestrian movement will be made smooth by removing obstacles. There will be provision of FOBs with glass lifts and staircases, keeping in mind the comfort of pedestrians,” said an official.

Govt push puts schools back on learning curve

These students were given special attention and every day two hours were spent teaching them basic reading skills, using different methods such as videos and interactive stories to teach alphabets.(Raj K Raj/Hindustan Times)

In their second year in power, AAP government in Delhi focused on the reading ability of students. The government found out that 3.5 lakh students in class 6-8 could not read and launched a campaign to ensure they gained basic reading abilities.The two-month long campaign ended on November 14 last year with the government claiming that 1 lakh students between class 6-8 were able to read their textbooks.

HT takes a look at the challenges that were faced and what lies ahead for the government in this sector.

July 2016: 3.5 lakh students unable to read textbooks

Rahul, a student of Class VI at a West Delhi government school, kept his textbook open, but none of the sentences in it made sense to him. Rahul was among the 3.5 lakh students enrolled in government schools in class VI-VIII, identified by the government in July last year as “non-readers” or students who were unable to read their own textbooks. Many of them could not even identify letters.

The government soon announced “Chunauti Mission” and teachers, officials and other authorities pledged on Teacher’s Day — September 5, 2016 — to ensure that every child enrolled in government schools is able to read at their own level by Children’s Day on November 14, 2016.

These students were given special attention and every day two hours were spent teaching them basic reading skills, using different methods such as videos and interactive stories to teach alphabets.

November 2016: Govt claims improvement, critics dismissive

By the end of the campaign, it was reported that 1 lakh students were able to read their textbooks, including Rahul, of West Delhi. The rest also saw some changes. At the start of the campaign, 26% could not identify characters and words, but after the campaign this number came down to 10%.

The figures have been called dubious by many including members of the Government School Teachers’ Association, who in a statement released in November alleged that “the number of ’non-reader’ students was inflated in July, as this would then help them show greater ‘change’ later.”

The results have not been uniform over schools. While Shaheed Captain Sandeep Dahiya Sarvodaya School in Rohini was able to give a 100% result with all of its non-readers becoming readers, at the Nandnagiri extension F1/F2 Government Girls Senior Secondary School, only 110 out of the initial 265 non-readers became readers and 155 were still non-readers when re-tested in November 2016.

“Students can now recognise words, sentences and paragraphs, but we still need to work on making sure they understand the text they read,” said Nisha Verma, a Science teacher at the Nandnagiri school.

Experts such as Anaki Rajan, a professor in education at the Jamia Milia Islamia have also questioned the effectiveness of such “crash courses” in language. “If they can’t read any fresh, unseen texts, then we can’t claim that they have made ‘progress’. Then it becomes training, not real education,” said Rajan, when asked about the campaign in November 2016.

Anita Rampal, professor and former dean faculty of education Delhi University, said segregating students on the basis of their academic performance is discriminatory in nature.

“This is not justified. Students will start doubting themselves and their confidence will take a hit. You can’t label students as good at studies or not good at studies and segregate them. Learning is not an individual process but a social one. It has been found that a mixed ability group is always better,” she said.

February 2017: What lies ahead?

Teachers have also said that there needs to be a follow up of the scheme and leaving the students in the present state may undo the efforts. Atishi Marlena, advisor to education minister Manish Sisodia, told HT that they are focusing on making students learn rather than completing syllabus and plan to restart the campaign.

Sisodia also conceded that the campaign needs to continue as there are many students who are yet to improve. “I agree that there are many students who still can’t read, though we have seen significant improvement in many. So once, the exam period is over, we will resume the programme in the next academic year,” said the minister.

AAP govt and Delhi education: A look at the hits, misses and future plans

Education is one sector in which the AAP government is trying to make a mark. So much so that education was the main theme at this year’s Delhi tableau at the Republic Day parade. The government highlighted its model schools and the mega parent-teacher meetings (PTMs).

Hindustan Times takes stock of the AAP government’s hits and misses during its two year stint in the field of education and analyses its election promises.

New schools

Unable to find land to build 500 “new” schools it promised two years ago, the Delhi government is constructing “new” classrooms in existing schools to increase enrolment.

“We constructed 8,000 new classrooms. One school has about 80 classrooms, so effectively there are 100 new schools. Some new schools have been constructed. In 2014-15 there were 1,007 schools and now we have 1,024,” said Atishi Marlena, advisor to education minister Manish Sisodia.

She said they found 29 plots for new schools and sanctioned another 10,000 classrooms.

Sisodia said the crux of the promise was that more students would have access to quality education. “With the new classrooms, more students will be able to get school education,” said Sisodia.

But the government teachers’ association challenged the claims. General secretary Ajay Veer Yadav said, “Rooms have been constructed but in an unplanned way to increase the number of classrooms. Many schools still run from tin sheds,” he claimed.

Check on fee hike

Private schools built on DDA land have to seek the government’s nod before hiking annual fees. In the coming academic session, only 5 of 410 private schools that applied for fee hike were allowed to do so. The government decides on a fee hike after auditing schools’ finances.

“Schools built on DDA land cannot hike as per their wishes,” said Marlena.

The principal of a private school said, “The Delhi Education Act says the school managements can hike fees within 10%. Only if they want to hike more, the government’s nod is required.”

Teacher training

The government had sent a group of principals and teachers to Cambridge University and Indian Institutes of Management. “In our first year, we had looked at infrastructure. In the second year we concentrated on teacher training,” said Sisodia.

Of the over Rs 10,000 crore the government allocated for education in the 2016 budget, Rs 102 crore was for training.

But experts had a word of caution. “Teachers need training in our own context. I am not sure if somebody in Cambridge can understand problems specific to our schools and society. It sounds good but will it actually help students?” said Poonam Batra, who teaches at department of education, Delhi University.

Promise of 17,000 new teachers

The government is struggling with hiring of teachers. The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) conducted exams to fill 5,000 teaching posts out of which 2,500 joined various schools, said a government official.

Marlena said the government created 9,500 new teaching posts but is yet to induct permanent teachers. “We will hire guest teachers till permanent appointment is done,” she said.

Sisodia said a proposal to make many of the 17,000 odd guest teachers permanent is awaiting the L-G’s approval.

“I have increased the salaries of guest teachers until I can get them made permanent. I cannot hire so many people overnight. It has to be through a legal procedure,” he said.

But guest teachers are not happy. Shoaib Rana, a guest teacher at Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Jaffrabad, said, “For the last two years government has been fooling us. They know they cannot regularise us, it was a false promise.”

20 new colleges, extended campuses

Not a single new college has been opened as the government later figured out that Delhi University is the only affiliating university in the capital.

So now the government is expanding Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) and other institutes by increasing the number of seats in educational institutes for undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

“We plan to create 17,350 seats for higher education courses (by 2019),” said Marlena.

By 2019, it is expected that the Delhi government will start three new campuses of AUD, at Rohini, Dheerpur and Lodhi Road, in addition to the new campus functioning at Karampura.

It will expand Delhi Technological University’s Rohini campus and open a new campus in East Delhi by next year.

Sisodia said even if one argues that these are just “extended campuses,” it serves the same purpose. “Ultimately people are looking for degrees,” he said.

What next?

The government says it has a long way to go but is on the “right track”.

“The initial changes are always slow but now it is gaining momentum. We are openly accepting we have a problem in our school system, which we are trying to fix,” said Marlena.

In the next year, Sisodia said, focus will be on teaching methods, especially in school education. “We will concentrate on creative learning methods, so that learning becomes interesting,” he said.

Govt slashes power bills by half but more needs to be done

Residents don’t mind long power cuts in summer because electricity bills have been cut by half, a key election promise of AAP(HT Photo)

They had to sweat it out in peak summers last year because of frequent power outages and even mourned the death of a resident electrocuted by live wires dangling outside his verandah – a usual scene in slums and illegal colonies.

Yet, when it comes to electricity, most of the two lakh-odd residents of South Delhi’s Ambedkar Nagar seem to be happy with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. The reason: Low power bills.

“Our power bills have come down and that’s a good thing Kejriwal (Delhi chief minister) has done,” said Rupesh Dhaiya, a resident of Dakshinpuri in south Delhi’s Amebdkar Nagar, a reserved (SC) assembly constituency and a key vote base of the AAP.

Residents said power outages are common in the area. But they don’t mind it. “Even on Republic Day, the entire colony didn’t have power. The same thing happened a few days later. We have inverters, so it doesn’t matter much,” said Savitri Rai, who lives in her own house in Khanpur colony.

Rai isn’t complaining as she has to pay less on her power bills now. “In summers, our bills have come down to Rs 1,300 from Rs 2,000 and in winters, we pay Rs 600 instead of Rs 800,” she said.

With frequent power cuts, summers were not pleasant last year. There was no shortage of electricity but outages occurred mostly due to “local faults”, officials said. “The government may blame distribution companies for the local faults. But it has completely avoided pulling up Delhi Transco Limited (DTL), which is under its jurisdiction for repeated delays in its ongoing projects. As a result, Delhi’s transmission network is ageing and breaks down frequently,” said Pramod Deo, former Chairman, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).

Tenants are angry

The AAP government’s sop of 50% subsidy on power tariffs for those who consume up to 400 units seems to be popular among people who live in their own houses.

But tenants are peeved. At least 30% (Census 2011) of all families in Delhi live in rented accommodations and this section claims the benefits are yet to reach them.

“It (slashing power tariffs) made no difference in our lives. Our landlord charges us the same amount of Rs 9 per unit for the electricity we consume,” said Shahbuddeen, a resident of Laxmi Nagar.

HT visited areas such as Sangam Vihar, Deoli, Chittaranjan Park and Anand Vihar and found that almost all tenants complained of the same problem. In most cases, the owner’s house has the main meter and tenants have sub-meters. “The bill comes as one and ideally we should be charged as per the mandated slabs. But that doesn’t happen as the rent agreement expects each tenant to pay for their consumed units, based on the highest tariff, with 10 per cent surcharge and service tax,” said Zinnia Ray, a resident of CR Park.

“I and my flat mate consume only about 150 units a month and according to the government’s promise, I should be paying Rs 2 per unit. But we are paying Rs 8 or so,” she added.

However, be it owners or tenants, Delhiites are happy that tariffs have not increased in the past two years. Till 2014, power tariffs were hiked for four consecutive years.

A glance at the AAP government’s five-point ‘action plan’ in the power sector reveals it has taken small steps in four of its promises. The party’s manifesto promised reduction of electricity bills by half, CAG audit of power discoms, Delhi’s own power plant, introduction of competition among discoms and Delhi as a solar city.

While the first one was fulfilled within 11 days of the party coming to power, the CAG audit of power discoms is sub judice.

The promise of making Delhi a solar city is gradually being fulfilled with the government notifying the ‘Delhi Solar Energy Policy, 2015’ in June 2016. But it is yet to release the list of empanelled companies so that domestic consumers can get solar panels on their rooftops and avail 30% subsidy offered by the government.

Two of its promises – that Delhi would have its own power plant outside the capital and introduction of competition among discoms - are yet to be fulfilled and may take years before they turn into a reality.

AAP govt tackling water supply woes in right way but freebies a problem: Experts

A lot of people depend on water tankers due to uneven supply of piped water.(HT Photo)

Rajeev Singh, 45, is an angry man. A resident of south Delhi’s Sangam Vihar – one of Delhi’s biggest unauthorised colonies -- water continues to be his biggest headache.

Buying water from illegal tankers every week has become a way of life. And nothing has changed for him in the past two years

“For a small tanker with a capacity of 2,500 litres, which lasts for five days, we pay Rs 550. For a bigger one, with a capacity of 5,000 litres which is sufficient for 10 days, I shell out Rs 1,100. In summers, rates increase go to up to Rs 1,500. The Jal board tankers deliver water to only those with ‘setting’. We don’t get that benefit,” Singh says.

Not just Sangam Vihar, where only some parts have piped water, Hindustan Times spotted private tankers operating in many colonies across South and West Delhi. So has the government, even after two years, no answer to the tanker mafia?

“The Delhi Jal Board has already deployed 407 GPS driven stainless water tankers, 300 MS Tankers and 250 new departmental stainless steel water tankers to curb the water mafia. The water supply network has been extended in 1,200 colonies, reducing the demand on water tankers. As soon as network goes to all colonies, the number of tankers will be automatically reduced,” DJB chairman Keshav Chandra said.

At present, about 83% households of Delhi have access to piped water supply. In the past two years, over 1,200 unauthorised colonies have got access to the water supply network. In the 2016-17 budget, Rs 676 crore was earmarked for this. Work in 300 colonies is targeted to be completed by the end of this year. No-objection certificates for 114 colonies are yet to be issued and technical feasibility in 43 colonies does not exist, a government official said.

In the budget, the government waived off 100% arrears for consumers belonging to the “E”, “F”, “G” & “H” category colonies, 75% in “D” category, 50% in “C” and 25% in “A” & “B” categories with complete remission of late payment surcharge. It reduced the development charge from Rs 440 per sq m to Rs 100 per sq m in unauthorised colonies, which officials claim enrolled and benefitted almost 130,000 consumers.

The AAP government says it is providing 20,000 litres of water free of cost to domestic consumers. For users who consume between 20,000 litres and 30,000 litres of water per month, the service charge is Rs 219.62 and the volumetric charge is Rs 21.97 per 1,000 litres. Customers who use over 30,000 litres a month have to pay Rs 292.82 in service charge and Rs 36.61 per 1,000 litres in volumetric charge.

But experts question the feasibility of this model.

Jyoti Sharma, president of FORCE India, an NGO dedicated to water conservation, says the intention was right behind this free water scheme but it is sending out a wrong message.

“The intention was dual: To make life easier for people in the lower income brackets and to encourage people to use less. But a majority of the target populace doesn’t have metered connection and so they are not benefitting from the scheme. Making water free is sending a wrong message. It is a signal that is making people less aware of the need to conserve,” Sharma said.

It can achieve the desired objective only if it there are working meters for all residents. Sharma said.

Other experts, too, agree that the vision is there but execution is a problem.

Environmentalist Vikram Soni, a professor at Centre for Theoretical Physics, Jamia Millia Islamia, says the AAP government is on the right track but needs to do more and persist with its initiatives.

“Take the Yamuna Palla floodwater harvesting project for example. This can act as a contingency reserve for Delhi if done. It can also bring the Delhi Jal Board R700 crore as revenue. It is running but needs to be completed. Field trial needs to be done, pipelines need to be installed and wells and water need to be monitored. The water minister has been very proactive but the Jal Board is still dragging its feet. It should move fast,” Soni said.

Unauthorised Colonies

For Delhi’s unauthorised colonies, change only on paper

East Azad Nagar was authorised four years but the area still has poor civic amenities.(Raj K Raj/HT Photo)

In street number 4 of East Azad Nagar, January was the month for hectic wedding preparations. The neighbourhood was transformed with festive music, lights and flavours. Nothing, however, could fix the perennial waterlogging in the lane.

“My daughter’s wedding was an occasion to celebrate but the water-logging caused us so much embarrassment. We stayed inside most of the time. It is what we do the rest of the year too as the lane is always water-logged,” said 65-year-old Asha (name changed), who lives here.

The 3-feet wide lane is home to a row of multiple-storey houses built on 25-yard plots. Four years back, East Azad Nagar earned the ‘legal’ tag as its layout plan was approved by the municipal corporation. However, that changed nothing on ground for the residents.

Regularisation of unauthorised colonies — one of the biggest political issues in the Capital — stems from the failure of successive governments to provide planned housing. Official estimates peg the number of unauthorised colonies in the city at 1,650, with about 50 lakh residents. East Azad Nagar was one of the 895 colonies which were regularised by then Sheila Dikshit government in 2012.

Ahead of the 2015 assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party also promised to provide registration rights with regard to property and sale deeds in resettlement colonies.

“We will provide water, sewer lines, electricity, schools and hospitals in a systematic and phased manner. Multi-pronged approach is the only way to empower unauthorised colonies, and has never been attempted by the BJP or the Congress. Within one year, these unauthorised colonies will be regularised and residents will be given ownership rights,” the AAP manifesto promised.

Soon after coming to power, the AAP government announced the decision to open registry of property in unauthorised colonies bypassing the process to be completed by the municipal corporations. The government said in 2015 that soon after it sends the boundary details to corporations, it will also allow registry of property.

However, the process is now stuck as the Union urban development ministry has asked the Delhi government to submit details of plot size and population in these colonies.

“We have received a letter from UD ministry with a list of queries. They want to know the population of every colony, size of plots, vacant plots, details of land owning agency and cost of regularisation,” said an official in the Delhi urban development department of Delhi government. Officials say it will take time to prepare the report even as lakhs of people continue to battle with the living conditions on a daily basis.

“Government should acknowledge that these colonies have come up because of the failure of those in power. The onus is on the government as they were supposed to build these houses. The government should simply try to make the living condition better in these colonies,” said Dunu Roy, director, Hazards Centre.

However, regularisation and approval of layout hasn’t meant better amenities for these colonies. East Azad Nagar, for example, has the tiniest of roads, no parking infrastructure, open overflowing drains and dangling power wires. Moreover, the structural safety of buildings in these colonies is a major cause of concern.

“Regularised or not, our problems are the same. The main road has been carpeted several times because of which the level of our lane has become lower, hence the water-logging,” said Rakesh, a resident of East Azad Nagar’s street number four.

Subhash Chandra Kohli, president of East Azad Nagar RWA, agrees that nothing has changed on ground. “Delhi government is still to include the colony in the official map of authorised Delhi colonies,” he says.

Senior officials who worked on approval of the layout plan of East Azad Nagar in 2013 say several rules, as per the Master Plan, were bypassed in the process. “The law mandates a clearly defined minimum width of streets and bylanes, space for public utilities and emergency measures. On paper, most of these were done with riders. For example, the width of the streets has been increased by marking them with dotted lines. A rider has been inserted in the statute that whenever the property owner applies for reconstruction of house, the building plan will be passed taking into account the marked line on the map,” an official said.

Officials admit that the only possible benefits of regularisation will be ownership of property and making the area eligible for basic government services. Vijay Kumar, a resident of street number 19, A-block, East Azad Nagar concurs, “The only way it helps us is that we can now sell and purchase property legally.”

AAP govt pushes civic works in Delhi slums as policy remains stuck in red tape

Two years after the Aam Adami Party government came to power, its promise of ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makaan’ has failed to gain momentum.(Ravi Choudhary/HT Photo)

Two years after the Aam Adami Party government came to power, its promise of ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makaan’ has failed to gain momentum.

What has kept the slum dwellers away from their dream home is bureaucratic hurdles. Approved by the Delhi cabinet in July 2016, the rehabilitation policy was sent back by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal early this month with some observations.

The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) has now responded to L-G’s comment and as the files run to and fro a final notification of the policy is yet to come.

Despite delay in the rehabilitation policy, the government has opened over 10,000 toilets in slums. The DUSIB has constructed 5,000 toilet seats so far and government wants to add 10,000 more seats before March.

“Apart from constructing new toilets, we have focused on repair and upgradation of existing ones. We have installed taps in 80% of the toilets and regular cleaning is done,” said a DUSIB official.

DUSIB has plans to construct 2 lakh public toilets across Delhi of which 1.5 lakh will be in slum clusters.

Meanwhile, with January 1, 2015 as the cut-off date for the policy, the clusters that came up after this date face threat of demolition.

Some experts also feel that slum rehabilitation requires a multi-dimensional approach that includes providing proper care. “Relocation of can be a dangerous policy. They lose everything. The best way to deal with this is to leave the slum as it is and provide the basic facilities to them,” said Dunu Roy, director, Hazards Centre.

A Delhi government spokesperson, however, said the policy takes care to rehabilitate slum dwellers close to their homes. “The thrust of the policy is in-situ rehabilitation, using land as a resource and resorting to relocation
only as an exception. Attempt will be made to rehabilitate the eligible Jhuggi Jhopri dwellers at the same location or a within a radius of 5 km,” the spokesperson said.

It was decided that DUSIB will rehabilitate the eligible JJ dwellers before removal of jhuggies as per this policy. The DUSIB had identified four slum clusters where a pilot project was to be started but this, too, got stuck in bureaucracy.

About 2,000 families living in north Delhi’s Sangam Park were to be the first to be rehabilitated under Delhi government’s slum-free plan.

The DUSIB has submitted the plan to the municipal corporation for the approval but is yet to receive a response.

Bono defends Spotify and calls for more transparency from record labels

Spotify Playlist

U2 frontman Bono has praised streaming music services as a way for musicians to get their music heard, and defended Spotify from criticism of the amount it pays out to artists and songwriters.

“The real enemy is not between digital downloads or streaming, the real enemy, the real fight is between opacity and transparency. The music business has historically involved itself in quite considerable deceit,” he said, speaking at the Web Summit conference in Dublin.

“But if we change that bit, and people can actually see how many times they’re being played, where they’re being played, get access to information on the people who are listening to them, get paid direct debit... I think those payments will add up to something, as the world gets more transparent.”

Bono went on to address artists’ criticism of Spotify in particular. “When people pick on Spotify: Spotify are giving up 70% of all their revenues to rights owners. It’s just that people don’t know where the money is because the record labels haven’t been transparent,” he said.

“That hasn’t been the demand: that will be the demand... That’s the thing to look for: transparency or opacity. For this new model to be successful and to take root, there has to be some kind of fairness... fair models of distribution. And I think when that happens, the music business will be a rising tide that lifts all boats.”

Bono defended U2’s recent album giveaway through Apple’s iTunes store, which caused controversy when iPhone and iPad owners found it automatically downloaded to their devices.

“We got a lot of people who were uninterested in U2 to be mad with U2. And I would call that an improvement in the relationship!” he said.

“And we were paid. No one values music more than the members of U2. To us music is a sacrament, it’s a sacred thing. I think artists should be paid way more than they are. But the greatest way you serve your songs is to get them heard.”

Later in his on-stage interview, he returned to the theme. “We always wanted our music to be heard, and the idea that we could work for years and years on what we think are the most personal songs we have ever written – you have to become very raw to write like that - and then the idea that they might not be heard is terrifying. So we were just thrilled that we got this chance,” he said.

“About 100 million people checked us out, one or two or three tracks, but about 30 million people liked the whole album. That took us 30 years with The Joshua Tree. So we did in three weeks with Songs of Innocence what took us 30 years with The Joshua Tree.”

Bono also claimed that while digital music disruption is worrying many artists, it will ultimately be good for young bands starting out.

“I’m already paid too much, I’m a spoiled rock star! I’m the wrong spokesperson for this, but i have to tell you if I were starting a band now, aged 17 or 18, I would be very excited,” he said.

“I would be as excited as I was when we formed U2 when we were 17 / 18 years old. Though it is clear that there are some traumas as we move from physical to digital and 20th century to 21st century, and the people paying the highest price for those traumas are songwriters rather than performers, I still think forming a band is so exciting.”

U2 may have signed an exclusive deal with Apple’s iTunes to distribute their latest album, Songs of Innocence, as a download, but Bono said streaming services are also a positive step forward for artists.

“I see streaming services as uite exciting ways to get to people. In the end, that’s what we want for U2 songs,” he said.

“I don’t see songs as like our children, I see songs as like our parents: they tell you how to dress, how to behave, what time to get home at, and the only thing they don’t like is to be ignored. So anything that gets your song out there is a good thing.”

“I think the remunerative bit of this has yet to be figured out,” he continued. “It’s an experimental period. Let’s experiment. Let’s see what works.”

Bono went on to compare artists’ situation now with the days long before recorded music, when their main source of income might be travelling to play for “the lord of the manor”.

“I prefer it when we are in charge of our own destiny. What I would like to see is a station where tech companies cross-fertilise with cultural companies, and I think our voices will then be naturally more heard, more understood and therefore more valuable,” he said.

“We are slightly slipping back: musicians are losing that firepower that they had. We must be careful that we don’t underestimate our value. We don’t have to play for the lord of the manor. The lord of the manor can come and see us, and pay in like everybody else.”

Bono talked about his work with Apple on “new formats for music” which he had alluded to in interviews earlier in the year, adding animation and interactivity to album artwork.

He suggested that people might think of these formats as “more valuable than a simple MP3 file” and added “ we’re working with the company, if we get there we get there, but they’re letting us into the lab.”

On Wednesday, President Trump suggested that the U.S. intelligence community could be "illegally" leaking sensitive information in order to hurt his administration. This effectively ended a brief detente with agencies that he had previously accused of working against him.

According to Fox News, The discussion regarding the government leaks occurred during Trump's joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said that intelligence as well as papers were being leaked. "Things are being leaked. It's a criminal action -- criminal act -- and it's been going on for a long time. Before me. But now it's really going on."

The leaks caused the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Monday night. This occurred succeeding The Washington Post's reports about his discussions about sanctions with a Russian official within the transition period. Flynn himself told Vice President Pence that the exchange did not occur.

Trump took to Twitter to highlight the incident and wrote "This Russian connection nonsense is merely an attempt to cover up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?). Just like Russia."

Previously Trump had mocked the intelligence community. He believed they were responsible for leaked information that led to reports in the past about supposed connections tying his campaign with the Russian government.

Additionally, Trump initially refused to claim Russia responsible for a series of pre-election hacks of Democratic emails. He eventually, however, conceded the Kremlin was probably behind it. Trump has also been widely criticized for his attempts at seeking a better relationship with Vladimir Putin, the Russian President.

On Wednesday morning, Julian Assange, WikiLeaks head, also took to Twitter from his newly activated personal account and framed the battle between the intelligence community and Trump. Alongside his anti-secrecy organization, Assange played an important role amidst the presidential election, where WikiLeaks released a bunch of emails that were politically damaging to Clinton.
