1. The United Nation's Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, of which India is one of the 195 members, releases its sixth assessment report on Monday. Scientists are observing changes in the Earth's climate in every region and across the whole climate system. Some of the changes already set in motion - such as continued sea level rise - are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years. Yet drastic and rapid cuts in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases can limit climate change, but nations have to agree to do this. Even if by some miracle nations agree, when they meet in Glasgow, UK, later this year, on immediate, and drastic cuts it could take 20-30 years to see global temperatures stabilize although benefits for air quality would come quickly. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the IPCC's assessment - the most detailed review of climate science ever conducted - 'code red for humanity'. 2. The Lok Sabha on Monday passes three bills without discussion, the Limited Liability Partnership Amendment Bill, 2021, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation Amendment Bill, 2021, and the Constitution Scheduled Tribes Order Amendment Bill, 2021, amid ruckus in the house. 3. A video allegedly from a march held at Jantar Mantar in the heart of Delhi on Sunday goes viral over egregiously communal slogans raised at the event that the police say was held without permission. The Delhi Police has filed a case and is trying to identify those in the video. 4. At least 357 villages across 21 districts in Uttar Pradesh have been inundated with floodwater due to heavy rainfall in the state. Hamirpur and Jalun districts in Bundelkhand region are the worst affected. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will take an aerial survey of the flood-affected regions today to take stock of the situation.
