shockwave, according to a media correspondent in the industrial city 1,500 km (950 miles)
east of Moscow. The meteorite raced across the horizon, leaving a long white trail in its
wake which could be seen as far as 200 km (125 miles) away in Yekaterinburg. Car alarmswent off, windows shattered and mobile phones worked only intermittently. Chelyabinsk city
authorities said about 1200 people sought medical help, mainly for light injuries caused by
flying glass. The Emergencies Ministry described the event as a "meteor shower in the form
of fireballs" and said background radiation levels were normal. It urged residents not to
panic. Chelyabinsk city authorities urged people to stay indoors unless they needed to pick
up their children from schools and kindergartens. They said a blast had been heard at an

orth Korea on 12 February 2013 announced success of its underground Nuclear
Test.The country cleared that the miniaturized nuclear device was detonated
successfully and it announced that the test was an act of self-defence from the US Hostility
and threatened stronger steps in future. This was the third test conducted by the country since
2006 that had defied the UN regulations in existence. The test is reported to have
conducted in the North Hamgyeong Province nearby the Punggye-ri nuclear complex,
the place where the tests of 2006 and 2009 were conducted. Due to the past two nuclear
tests of 2006 and 2009, North Korea is already facing many sanctions over it imposed by the
United Nations Security Council. This is the first test conducted in North Korea under the
leadership of K im Jong-un. The Western Nations termed this act to be highly provocative act
of North Korea and claimed it to be a threat to the stability of the region. Whereas Asian
countries like, China, J apan and Russia criticized the test and announced it to be a threat
beyond tolerance. The international bodies like UN and NATO claimed this test as
irresponsible and threat to the world peace.

argeting highly skilled talents from India and China, the US lawmakers have
introduced a new bill in the Congress on 15 February, to create more than
125,000 new visas to attract global talents to America. The bill called Startup3.0proposes to help increase America's access to talent by creating a new set of conditional
visas for 75,000 immigrant entrepreneurs and 50,000 foreign STEM (Science technology,
engineering and math) graduate students. This will create half a million new American jobs.
Startup 3.0 allows qualified companies to apply research and development tax credits to their
payroll tax liability, up to $250,000.For small startups, it also makes permanent the 100 per
cent capital gains tax exemption on investments that are held for more than 5 years, in
addition to the 28 per cent exemption on qualified small business stock. These provisionswill unlock over $7.5 billion in new investments which will result in more innovation and
jobs. Finally, the bill helps cut red tape, by requiring a cost-benefit analysis of any significant
rule being proposed by a federal or independent agency. According to the authors of the bill,
research has demonstrated the positive impact of immigrants on American job creation: more
than 40 per cent of all Fortune 500 companies were founded by an immigrant or the child of
an immigrant. Research shows that startups create three million jobs per year, on average.
