Government cancels Greenpeace India's FCRA licence
Union Government has cancelled licence of Greenpeace India, a non-profit Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to receive foreign donations. The license was cancelled by Union Ministry of Home Affairs as per under Section 13 of Foreign Contribution Regulations Act (FCRA), 2011. Henceforth, Greenpeace India will be not able to receive any kind of foreign donations from its international network. Earlier in April 2015, MHA had suspended the license of Greenpeace India for six months for mixing foreign and domestic funds and not disclosing the movement of its funds. Greenpeace India had filed a petition challenging this suspension in the Delhi High Court. The court had allowed the NGO to use two of its accounts for the purpose of receiving and utilising fresh domestic donations for its day-to-day functioning.

North America's tallest peak Mt. McKinley renamed Denali
Mount McKinley, the 20,237-foot mountain and the tallest in North America which was named after 25th U.S. president, William McKinley, Obama administration renames Mount McKinley to Denali. The mountain, which sits in the 6 million-acre Denali national park, has been known as Denali in Alaska since 1975. Under an order signed by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, the Denali name will also take effect for all federal usage and, therefore, on all official maps.
Denali, meaning “the great one” in the Athabaskan language of Alaska natives, was the original name of the mountain. But when European Americans discovered it in the 19th century, they renamed it Densmore’s Mountain and, later, Mount McKinley in an effort to boost the presidential candidacy of Republican William McKinley.

South Africa to host Commonwealth Games 2022
Durban in South Africa will host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, becoming the first African city to be awarded the four-yearly multi-sports event. The 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth Games Federation made the decision unanimously on Wednesday after receiving Durban's final candidate city briefing at the general assembly in Auckland. Durban was the only candidate left when Edmonton, Canada withdrew its bid in February, citing costs. The general assembly also voted to increase the number of compulsory sports at the games from 10 to 16.
South Africa's record in hosting the football World Cup in 2010 and the Rugby World Cup in 1995 demonstrated its organisational ability but it has not yet hosted a multi-sports event of the scale of the Commonwealth Games. The games are scheduled to open 18th July 2022, marking the birthday of South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013. Principals of the Durban bid committee have said existing infrastructure will be used to minimise costs and the Games, scheduled to take place over 12 days, will make a profit.
