At least 23 killed in Indian monsoon floods



NEW DELHI // Government officials said at least 23 people have died and about 50 are missing after three days of torrential rain washed away buildings and roads in northern India.

Amit Negi, an official in Uttarakhand state, said Monday that more than a dozen people were killed in one district alone.

A landslide triggered by the monsoon rains buried a bus, killing three people in Almora district. At least three other people were washed away when a three-story apartment building toppled into a river and was carried away by the swift-moving current.

More than 10,000 pilgrims stranded along a mountain pass leading to a Hindu religious site were being evacuated by helicopter.

FFP EXPLAINED

What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.

What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.

What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.
