Std.7 sst ch.1 question answer

2 . If the Himalayas did not exist     If the Himalayas did not exist, India would be very different. The cold winds from Central Asia would enter India freely, making the climate much colder and drier. Many rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra might not exist because these rivers originate from the Himalayan glaciers. Without the Himalayas, there would be less rainfall, fewer forests, and farming would become difficult in many regions. The northern plains might even look like deserts. The Himalayas also protect India from strong winds and help in bringing monsoon rains, so life in India would be much harder without them. 3. Why is India called a ‘mini-continent’? India is called a “mini-continent” because it has great diversity in physical features, climate, culture, languages, and natural resources, just like a continent. It has mountains in the north, deserts in the west, plains in the center, plateaus in the south, and coastal regions on both sides. Different par...

US Sactions Five North Koreans After Missile Launch.

US Sactions Five North Koreans After Missile Launch.



 THe US. Treasury Department said one of the North Koreans, Choe Myong Hyon, was based in Russia and had provided support to North Korea's Second Academy of Natural Sciences (SANS), Which is already subject to sanstions.

Also targeted were four China-based North Korean representatives of SANS-subordinate Organizations, the Treasury Department said: Sin Kwang Sok, Kim Song Hun, Kang Chol Hak, and Pyon Kwang Chol.

Russia and China moved to block the Biden administration's bid to impose sanction on North Koreans as Kim Jong Un's regime threatened to conduct nuclear weapons tests.

The UN members were set to conduct a closed- door meeting as Part to the UN security council meeting. Both CHINA and RUSSIA blocked the US proposal ahead of the meeting.

NORTH KOREA conducted successive Ballisyic Missile test including what it called a hypersonic missile test starting from JANUARY 5.


Russia and China block new U.N. sanctions on 5 North Koreans


This decision has been criticized by the U.S. which sought to impose penalties over their roles in the country’s missile program

Russia and China blocked the U.N. Security Council on January 20 from imposing sanctions on five North Korean officials in response to Pyongyang’s recent ballistic missile tests , a decision criticized by the United States which sought to impose penalties over their roles in the country’s missile program.

At an emergency council meeting on the North’s four ballistic missile launches in the last two weeks, the United States called on the 15 council members to approve a brief press statement recalling that such launches violate council resolutions and strongly urging Pyongyang to comply with its council obligations “and to engage in dialogue towards denuclearization.”
RUSSIA and CHINA Block new UN senction.

Diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because the council meeting was closed, said China, a neighbor and ally of North Korea, opposed any statement.

Before the meeting started, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield read a statement to reporters from eight countries calling North Korea’s “unlawful behavior ... a threat to international peace and security.”

“These launches demonstrate the regime’s determination to pursue weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs at all costs, including at the expense of its own people,” the eight nations said.

The U.S., Albania, Brazil, France, Ireland, Japan, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom called on the Security Council to be unified in condemning North Korea’s violations of its resolutions.

And they called on the council committee monitoring U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang to support sanctions against the five North Koreans proposed by the Biden administration last week, after the U.S. imposed its own sanctions against them.

In the past, the council has been united on North Korea, but there was no council unity on January 20.

Asked about Russia and China blocking sanctions against the five North Koreans, Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador, said any country opposing sanctions gives North Korea “a blank check.”

The U.N. Security Council initially imposed sanctions on North Korea after its first nuclear test in 2006 and made them tougher in response to further nuclear tests and an increasingly sophisticated ballistic missile program. In 2018, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the sanctions had cut off all North Korean exports and 90% of its trade and disbanded the pool of workers which North Korea sent abroad to earn hard currency — but Pyongyang has managed to evade some measures.

China and Russia circulated a draft resolution in November urging the Security Council to end a host of sanctions against North Korea including a ban on exports of seafood and textiles, a cap on imports of refined petroleum products and a prohibition on its citizens working overseas and sending home their earnings. It stressed the economic difficulties in North Korea and said these and other sanctions should be lifted “with the intent of enhancing the livelihood of the civilian population.”

The North’s Foreign Ministry warned of stronger action after the U.S. imposed new sanctions last week and on Thursday the official Korean Central News Agency said the country will consider restarting “all temporally-suspended activities” it had paused during its diplomacy with the Trump administration. This appeared to be a threat to resume testing of nuclear explosives and long-range missiles.

The news agency said North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un presided over a Politburo meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party where officials set policy goals for “immediately bolstering” military capabilities to counter the Americans’ “hostile moves.”
