SRK detained at New York airport 

New York: Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan was detained at a New York airport for over two hours by immigration officials after arriving from India in a private
plane with Nita Ambani, to address students at Yale University here. While Nita, wife of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and the rest of their group were cleared immediately, Khan was stopped and was given immigration clearance only after about two hours, sources said. 

46-year-old Khan was to address a press conference at 2 pm and deliver his lecture at 4 pm at the Yale University. However, he arrived for the press meet three hours behind schedule and his hour-long lecture started at about 6 pm.

N Korea admits failed rocket launch 

PYONGYANG: News of North Korea's abortive rocket launch was flashed around the world on Friday but there were four long hours of silence before Pyongyang admitted the highly publicised attempt had failed. 

"The earth observation satellite failed to enter its preset orbit. Scientists, technicians and experts are now looking into the cause of the failure," the KCNA official news agency finally said in a terse report. 

But there was still no word from officials on the ground for scores of foreign journalists invited by the normally secretive state to witness what was touted as a historic occasion. 

The United States and many other nations have condemned the launch as a pretext for testing banned ballistic missile technology. 

But the nuclear-armed North, which normally tightly restricts media visits, threw its doors open to emphasise what it called its peaceful intentions in space.

Nupur Talwar to appear in SC 

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday will hear Nupur Talwar's petition against the non-bailaible warrent issued against her in the Aarushi murder case. Aarushi's mother Nupur Talwar is expected to be present in the court during the hearing. 
Faced with imminent arrest in connection with the murder case of her teenaged daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj, dentist Nupur Talwar has rushed to the Supreme Court seeking anticipatory bail on Thursday but the court refused to hear it then.

Talwar is facing a non-bailable arrest warrant (NBW) issued by the Ghaziabad CBI court after she failed to appear before it on Wednesday. A CBI team raided her house after that but she wasn’t there.

Seeking “empathy and justice” from the top court, the dental surgeon has also challenged the April 9 Allahabad high court directive, which puts its March 13 order of giving 30 days to Nupur to surrender before the trial court in abeyance.
