A French couple's four-year wait to have children ended on Wednesday after they adopted two brothers, Vinayak (6) and Vignesh (5) from Shishu Gruh of Ahmedabad. The family flew to France on Wednesday night.

An adoption ceremony was held at the Shishu Gruh, located in Paldi, where Police Commissioner AK Singh and other officials of the orphanage were present. After the formalities of adoption were completed, the brothers were handed over to Jeremy and Madeline Platin, residents of Pont de L'arche in France.

Madeline's father was a traveller and had stayed in India for a considerable period. When the couple was planning to adopt a kid, her father suggested that they consider adopting a child from India. The couple started making the efforts four years ago.

As per officials, the brothers were found by locals the Sadarnagar police from near Kubernagar railway crossing on April 30, 2018. The cops, who collected the duo, later handed them over to Shishu Gruh. It was revealed during the investigation that the brothers lost both parents early in life and didn't have any relatives.

On August 16, 2018, after the legal formalities, the brothers were registered with the Central Adoption Resources Authorities (CARA) for adoption on the condition that both be adopted together. There were several couples who came forward to adopt but nothing materialised until Jeremy and Madeline agreed to the condition.

A report has found that right-wing non-profits in the US have ramped up spending on lobbying and campaigns in Europe. It comes amid fears that far-right parties could make big gains in European elections this May.

Right-wing Christian groups in the United States spent at least $50 million (€56 million) on supporting far-right activists and campaigns in Europe in recent years, according to an investigative report.

Publicly available financial filings showed 15 conservative non-profit organizations spent some $51 million in Europe from 2008 to 2017, the report by UK-based openDemocracy found.

The filings did not detail what the money was spent on, but openDemocracy said the groups used it to:

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear after two weeks a fresh plea alleging that CBI tried to "shield the real perpetrators" in the

Muzaffarpur shelter home case by not conducting proper probe on "crucial leads" which are available on record. Several girls were allegedly raped and sexually abused at an NGO-run shelter home at Muzaffarpur in Bihar and the issue had come to light following a report by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).

The probe into the case was transferred to CBI and the agency has chargesheeted 21 people, including prime accused Brajesh Thakur. The fresh application was mentioned on Thursday for urgent hearing before a bench of justices S A Bobde and S A Nazeer which said the matter would be heard

after two weeks. The plea, filed through advocate Fauzia Shakil, has sought a direction to the CBI to carry out a thorough, proper and scientific probe into the case.

"It is evident from the statement of victims that a large scale prostitution racket was being run by prime accused Brajesh Thakur. "From the perusal of the charge sheet, it is apparent that CBI is trying to shield the real perpetrators and has intentionally avoided to investigate the leads given by the victims about the outsiders and alleged friends of Thakur who were involved in the offence," the plea said.

AHMEDABAD: When Vinayak, 6 (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/6), started speaking in broken French at Shishu Gruh

on Wednesday, Jeremy and Madeline Platin, residents of Pont De L’Arche in northern France, had tears in their eyes. Their fouryear wait to adopt children from India ended with the formalities of adoption getting completed. The couple will fly to France

from Delhi on Wednesday night with Vinayak, 6, and Vignesh (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/and-Vignesh), 5

(https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/5).

The brothers, mention Shishu Gruh officials, were found from near Kubernagar railway crossing exactly a year ago in April 2018.

A bid by one of Italy's ruling populist parties to recognise the legal rights of embryos and allow unborn children to be adopted has been denounced by critics who say it is an assault on the country's decades-old abortion law.

The proposal is back in the spotlight ahead of a global conference in Verona that seeks to defend the concept of family in society.

The World Congress of Families takes place from March 29-31 and gathers anti-LGBT, right-wing politicians and anti-abortion organisations.

The draft law was put forward by Stefano Stefani, a leading figure in the right-wing populist League party, which is currently governing in a coalition with the Five Star Movement (MS5).

Valorization of natural resources can be a decisive contributor to the improvement of the living conditions in developing countries.
