- 15. THREE INDIAN WRESTLERS EYEING CWG GOLD Indian wrestlers continued their impressive run with Olympic bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, Geetika Jakhar and Babita Kumar all qualifying for the final and Pawan Kumar staying in the hunt for a bronze medal in the 2014 Commonwealth Games here Thursday. India have won nine medals - three gold, five silver and a bronze - from wrestling and are assured of at least three silvers. Yogeshwar, who had won the gold in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, will be facing Canada's Jevon Balfour in the men's freestyle 65kg category. It is the first time that Yogeshwar is participating in a major tournament ever since he made a move to the 65kg category after his pet 60kg was removed by world body FILA last year. Yogeshwar had won the bronze in the 2012 London Games in the 60kg. Yogeshwar raced away with a 11-0 win over Scotsman Alex Gladkov in the Round of 16. The 31-year-old Indian again disappointed the Scottish fans beating Gareth Jones 10-0 in the quarterfinal and booked his place in the final with another facile 10-0 win over Sri Lankan Chamara Perera in the semi-final.

WHITE HOUSE DECRIES HOUSE VOTE ON DEPORTATIONS WASHINGTON — The White House is denouncing an effort in the House of Representatives to block President Barack Obama from extending deportation relief to any more immigrants who are in the country illegally. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says in a statement that the House is driving an approach to immigration focused on rounding up and deporting 11 million immigrants who are not legally in the United States and separating their families. House Republicans have scheduled a vote to prevent Obama from undertaking further deportation relief in an effort to win conservative support for a bill addressing the immigration crisis on the border. Obama in 2012 decided to defer deportations and give work permits to immigrants who entered the country illegally as children before 2007. Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com
