## Resource

On News@7 this May 22, Taniya Dutta brings to you the evening’s most crucial headlines. The Supreme Court is set to examine whether prolonged delays in trial can justify bail under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in cases involving activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, following conflicting rulings by different benches on the issue. Meanwhile, India and Cyprus on Friday elevated bilateral ties to a strategic partnership after talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides in New Delhi. The two countries launched a joint task force to strengthen cooperation in defence, cyber security and counter-terrorism. In Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay completed his Cabinet expansion by inducting Dalit Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader Vanni Arasu and Indian Union Muslim League legislator A M Shahjahan, triggering a political row with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Tune In! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti
