  2. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-60911182 A painting capturing the momentous victory in battle of Indian rulers over British East India Company troops in 1780 has sold at auction in London. Sotheby's accepted a bid of £500,000 ($658,000) for the painting. It shows Haider Ali, the sultan of the kingdom of Mysore, and his son, Tipu, defeating Company forces in the famed Battle of Pollilur. Tipu, known as the "Tiger of Mysore", became the Company's fiercest foe until he was defeated and killed in 1799. Historian William Dalrymple has described the painting of what unfolded in Pollilur as "arguably the greatest Indian picture of the defeat of colonialism that survives". Mr Dalrymple, whose book, The Anarchy, documents the rise of the East India Company in the 18th Century, has called it "the most crushing defeat" and one that "nearly ended British rule in India". Tipu, who got his first command at Pollilur, "turned the tide" against the British, Mr Dalrymple told the BBC. Scenes from the battle were first commissioned by Tipu himself in 1784. They were painted on the walls and frescoes of his palace - Daria Daulat Bagh - in Srirangapatnam, then the capital of Mysore in southern India. Some of these scenes were also painted at least twice on paper using ink and gouache pigments. One of those paintings was sold at auction in 2010 and acquired by the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar. It was brought to England by Colonel John William Freese, who was in Srirangapatnam after Tipu's defeat. His family handed it down over generations before selling it in 1978 to a private collector, who sold it in 2010. The origin of the second painting, which Sotheby's is now auctioning, is less clear. Given how similar it is to the one acquired by Freese, it's assumed to have also been brought to England by a British officer. It first appeared at auction in the early 1980s, Benedict Carter of Sotheby's told the BBC. "But we don't know what happened to it in the 100 years before that." It has only been briefly displayed before, in 1990 and 1999, leaving it in a "pretty remarkable state", he said. The painting depicts - in vivid, triumphant and gory detail - what happened on the morning of 7 September 1780. Tipu ambushed Company forces led by Colonel William Bailie near a village named Pollilur not far from Madras (now Chennai), a major British trading outpost at the time. By the time Haider Ali arrived with reinforcements, the "work had been pretty much done", Mr Dalrymple says. The 32ft-long painting, which stretches across 10 sheets of paper, shows Tipu atop an elephant while overseeing his troops. Towards the other end of the painting, his cavalry is attacking Company forces on both sides as they form a square around an injured Bailie, who is in a palanquin. It even shows a cart of ammunition exploding - a moment in the battle, Mr Dalrymple writes in an essay accompanying the auction - that was recorded by Bailie's younger brother John: "Two ammunition tumbrils were hit and both blew up simultaneously, making 'large openings in both lines, on which their Cavalry made the first impression. They were followed by the Elephants, which completed our overthrow." "It's a stunning masterpiece, it's unprecedented," Mr Dalrymple told the BBC. He believes that's why despite the spectacular defeat, the paintings were commissioned by British officers such as Col Freese - because the murals in Srirangapatam were just as, if not more, striking. Another theory is that the two paintings were made as preparatory drawings when the Company restored the frescoes in Serirangapatnam under the orders of Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington. Tipu himself had ordered the murals whitewashed after losing a subsequent war to the Company - the images were "incredibly bloody", Mr Dalrymple says, and having them painted over was perhaps a gesture of peace. Despite his eventual defeat, Tipu was respected by the British for his military acumen and "the way he died gallantly in battle", says Mr Dalrymple. So it's not so surprising to historians that the British chose to retain evidence of the Battle of Pollilur. The painting's significance is drawn from the battle's import, Mr Dalrymple says. Tipu was "the most feared by the British", the only Indian ruler at the time who never allied with them. By the mid-18th Century, the Company gained an advantage on the battlefield in India, thanks to military innovations in Europe. But Tipu, Mr Dalrymple says, managed to match them by 1780, as the win in Pollilur shows. In Pollilur, Tipu's army had better guns, better artillery and his cavalry was better prepared in terms of inventions and tactics. They were able to fire rockets from their camels, for instance, and this was a technique, which, in turn, later inspired the British to invent their own rocket system. But in the end, despite Tipu's continued resistance to the English, there was no lasting alliance among the Indian kingdoms that had emerged from a splintered Mughal empire. Now, with his legacy as a Muslim king being re-evaluated in an increasingly Hindu nationalist India, the Battle of Pollilur is a reminder of the obstacle he posed to British conquest. So much so that when he was killed, the victors took his campaign tent back to Britain, where it remains to this day - a trophy from the defeat of the "Tiger of Mysore".
  3. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60926831 The UK has announced that two of its Supreme Court judges will no longer be sitting on Hong Kong's top court. The judges said the threat to civil liberties had made their role on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal untenable. Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam has responded with "regret and disappointment" to the resignations. But the UK government supports the decision, and says the situation in the territory has now reached "a tipping point". In 2020 China introduced a national security law that curtailed freedom of speech and made it easier to punish protesters in Hong Kong. UK Supreme Court President Lord Robert Reed said he and Lord Patrick Hodge were resigning from the court over the threat to civil freedoms posed by the new law. "The judges of the Supreme Court cannot continue to sit in Hong Kong without appearing to endorse an administration which has departed from values of political freedom, and freedom of expression," Lord Reed said. The Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal hears many of the territory's highest profile cases, often ruling on key questions over civil and political liberties. Senior British judges have sat on the court since 1997 as part of an agreement when Hong Kong was handed over to China by the UK. UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss endorsed the decision, saying the participation of top British judges in Hong Kong's legal system risked legitimising oppression. "We have seen a systematic erosion of liberty and democracy in Hong Kong," Ms Truss said. "Since the National Security Law was imposed, authorities have cracked down on free speech, the free press and free association." The UK - which ruled over Hong Kong for 150 years - claims the 2020 law breaches the agreement under which Britain handed over the territory to China in 1997. China says the law is needed to bring stability to Hong Kong after mass pro-democracy protests in 2019, and on Wednesday a Chinese government spokesperson said it "strongly deplored" the judges' decision to quit the court. The spokesperson said that the territory is governed according to the rule of law and criticised the UK for its "attempts to maliciously vilify China's policies for Hong Kong". Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the decision meant the UK government was effectively ending an agreement that has been in place since 1997, and pushed back against the criticism of the national security law. "We must vehemently refute any unfounded allegations that the judges' resignations have anything to do with the introduction of the Hong Kong national security law or the exercise of freedom of speech and political freedom," Ms Lam said. A Hong Kong government spokesperson added: "we could find no substantiation or evidence to justify sweeping statements accusing the Hong Kong administration of departing from the above fundamental rights and freedoms". The role of foreign judges in Hong Kong's courts has been legally guaranteed since the territory was returned to China, intending to maintain the common law tradition established under British rule. Non-permanent judges from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand also sit on the court, as well other judges with British nationality. A spokesperson for the UK Supreme Court confirmed to the BBC that the remaining six British judges who have seats on the Hong Kong court will be left to decide independently if they wish to retain their posts. Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Nathan Law, who is living in political exile in the UK and has previously had a high-profile case heard by the court, welcomed the decision but said it had come too late. Mr Law said that any judge sitting on the court must "believe the rule of law is still intact in Hong Kong", and called on the remaining British and overseas judges to resign. "All judges from democratic countries who still are sitting in Hong Kong's court should resign in order to reiterate the fact that rule of law in Hong Kong is severely damaged under the national security law," he told the BBC. "The national security law has given the Beijing government a convenient legal weapon to prosecute democratic campaigners and criminalise free speech." The Chinese foreign ministry describes Mr Law as a "criminal suspect" wanted by police.

  11. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60666251 The US and UK are poised to ban Russian oil and the EU is sharply reducing gas imports as countries harden their response to the invasion of Ukraine. Both the US and British governments are likely to make their announcements later on Tuesday. The European Commission has just announced it will reduce demand for Russian gas by two-thirds - the EU gets 40% of its gas from Russia. The measures are meant to hurt Russia, with its economy dependent on energy. But such action could also send prices soaring. Investor fears of an embargo drove Brent crude oil to $139 (£106) a barrel at one point on Monday - its highest level for almost 14 years. Russia earlier warned it may close its main gas pipeline to Germany if the West bans Russian oil. EU unveils plan to end reliance on Russian gas US President Joe Biden is expected to make the announcement at 10:45 local time (15:45 GMT), US media reports. The White House has not confirmed the ban on oil, but said the president would be announcing further actions against Russia. The move has political support. On Monday senior Republicans and Democrats in Congress announced a bipartisan agreement to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus. "Taking these actions will send a clear message to Putin that his war in unacceptable and the United States stands firmly with our Nato allies," they said. "We are committed to using the tools at our disposal to stop Russia's unconscionable and unjust war." About 8% of US oil and refined product imports come from Russia.
  12. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60661744 Civilians are being evacuated from two devastated areas of Ukraine after Russia agreed to pause attacks. A convoy of buses and cars carrying mostly foreign students left the northern city of Sumy, while dozens of people left Irpin near Kyiv. Previous evacuations have failed, with Russia accused of shelling routes. The UN says more than two million people have now fled Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion nearly two weeks ago. Evacuations from Sumy began on Tuesday morning, with buses heading towards the city of Poltava, further south and away from the front lines. Trapped Nigerian on friendship and terror in Sumy Indian and Chinese students were among those evacuated. The Indian government said all of its 694 students in the city had left with the convoy. As he awaited evacuation, Mohammad Mahtab Raza, a 23-year-old medical student from India, told the BBC he had spent days sheltering from Russian strikes in a basement bunker. "All my family call every day and ask: 'When will you come back, what is your situation?' Right now, with my mother and brother [I'm] just lying, [saying] 'we are fine, everything is good, we will come really soon'," he said. Another medical student, 22-year-old Anastasia, was still weighing up whether to go. "Now I'm deciding whether or not to leave my family, because [my] grandparents decided not to go and my mother cannot leave them, and now I need to decide to leave them alone, or to stay." In Sumy, the ceasefire appears to have largely held but other Ukrainian cities have continued to come under heavy bombardment from Russian forces. Ukrainian officials said an evacuation route from Mariupol was being shelled in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
