(MENAFN) According to the head of the state-run National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC)’s Dispatching Department, Saeed Aghli, gas consumption in Iran witnessed a notable increase of seven billion cubic meters during the past Iranian calendar year 1402, which concluded on March 19. An Iranian news agency reported that the country consumed over 249 billion cubic meters of natural gas in total during this period.
A breakdown of the gas consumption reveals that households, commercial establishments, and non-major industries accounted for 119 billion cubic meters, major industries consumed 51 billion cubic meters, and power plants utilized 79 billion cubic meters of gas. Interestingly, gas consumption in household, commercial, and non-major industries experienced a three percent decrease compared to the previous year, attributed to the implementation of gas consumption optimization plans.
During the first half of the past year, natural gas consumption stood at 117.55 billion cubic meters, indicating that approximately 132 billion cubic meters of natural gas were consumed during the fall and winter of 1402.
Iran primarily relies on its vast South Pars gas field, shared with Qatar in the Persian Gulf, for its natural gas supply. The field covers a substantial area, with 3,700 square kilometers falling within Iran’s territorial waters and the remaining 6,000 square kilometers, known as North Dome, located within Qatar's territorial waters. Estimated to hold a significant portion of the world's natural gas reserves, the South Pars field is also believed to contain around 18 billion barrels of condensate.

(MENAFN) A noticeable shift in public sentiment towards Ukrainian refugees has emerged in Poland, with an increasing number of Poles expressing opposition to state-funded benefits, accommodations, and meals for the approximately one million Ukrainian refugees currently residing in the country. According to a recent survey cited by the Rzeczpospolita newspaper, the findings reveal a significant change in attitudes, raising questions about the sustainability of the existing support system.
The survey, conducted last month, reported that 53 percent of respondents opposed child-related benefits for Ukrainian refugees, with only 21 percent in favor. Additionally, 47 percent expressed opposition to equal access to social assistance, while 44 percent advocated for discontinuing the provision of free housing and meals for Ukrainian refugees, contrasting with the 20 percent and 50 percent figures respectively in April 2022. The results underscore a growing discontent among Poles regarding the financial support extended to Ukrainian refugees.
The government, led by Donald Tusk, has plans to address the financial burden of supporting Ukrainian refugees by issuing special bonds to continue financing the program. Under the temporary protection bill passed in April 2022, Ukrainian refugees in Poland receive comprehensive assistance, including housing, food, health care, education, and a full range of social benefits at the state's expense. This assistance also includes a one-time payment of 300 zloty (USD75) and regular benefits totaling 800 zloty (USD200) per child, with additional payments for childbirth.
The financial commitment associated with this support is substantial, with the previous cabinet estimating a cost of 4.3 billion zloty for the Polish government in the current year. However, Rzeczpospolita reports that the successors in office are contemplating an additional increase of 1.9 billion zloty to the fund. This evolving situation prompts a critical examination of the delicate balance between humanitarian assistance, public sentiment, and the financial implications for the host country, shedding light on the challenges faced by Poland in managing the ongoing refugee crisis.

(MENAFN - Baystreet.ca) PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) has reported quarterly earnings that handily beat analyst estimates.
The food and beverage company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings per share of $1.21 U.S. adjusted vs. $1.12 U.S. that had been expected by analysts.
Revenue for the quarter came in at $14.82 billion U.S. versus the $14.55 billion U.S. that analysts expected, and net income was $1.71 billion U.S., or $1.24 U.S. per share, up from $1.34 billion U.S., or 96 cents U.S. per share from a year earlier.
PepsiCo also reported that organic revenue, which strips out the impact of foreign currencies, acquisitions and divestitures, grew by 2.4% in the quarter as consumers maintained their pandemic snacking habits.

Qatar set for Uzbekistan clash at AFC U23 Championship in China
(MENAFN - The Peninsula) The Peninsula
CHANGZHOU: Qatar, coached by Felix Sanchez, take on Uzbekistan tomorrow in their opening match of the AFC U23 Championship with firm hopes of making it to the knock-out stage of the region's premier Olympic squad tournament.

(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) A special train service for Chinese tourists was launched at a Swiss mountain resort due to "cultural differences."
Numerous tourists visiting the scenic Mount Rigi resort in the Swiss Alps have been complaining about rude behavior of Chinese travelers in trains, Swiss newspaper Blick reported.
According to the paper, non-Asian passengers, who seek peace and relaxation in the Alps, were disturbed by noisy Chinese groups crowding the wagons' corridors while taking pictures from the train. Some claim Chinese passengers stand on toilet seats to relieve themselves and spit on wagon floors.
A huge marketing campaign was carried out in China after Mount Rigi partnered with an organization in the Chinese region of Mount Emei. As a result, by now half of the foreign visitors to the Swiss resort are Chinese.
According to the director of local railway company Rigi Bahnen, Peter Pfenniger, the flow of Asian tourists to the Swiss resort definitely helped to improve business. Yet, at the same time it has become a problem due to "cultural differences."
"Their strong presence is a challenge." Pfenniger said.
In order to improve the situation and avoid bad feelings between tourists from different parts of the world, a special service was suggested for Asian tourist groups. Special trains, running for them, are being cleaned more regularly. Also, the signs have been put up with detailed instructions on how to use the toilets correctly.
In September, the number of train services for Chinese visitors is expected to rise to about 20 a week. However, the launching of special trains doesn't mean Chinese tourists will be barred from boarding ordinary trains, Pfenniger said.
Chinese netizens took the Blick report offensively, according to the Global Times newspaper. They noted via social media that the increasing flow of tourists from Asia boosts Swiss economy.
Earlier this year, China's National Tourism Administration admitted keeping records of "uncivilized behavior" that negatively affected the country's image abroad.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Rabat – Amid regional tension, Lebanese Prime Minister resigned from his position on Saturday in a surprise move during a televised speech from Saudi Arabia.
Hariri said that he is afraid of the possibility of an assassination plot against him, recalling the murder of his father, former prime minister , who was killed in an explosion in 2005.
"We are living in a climate similar to the atmosphere that prevailed before the assassination martyr Rafik Hariri. I have sensed what is being plotted covertly to target my life," he said in the speech.
He also severely criticized Iran and its Lebanese Shia ally , for "their meddling in Arab affairs."
"I want to say to Iran and its followers that they are losing in their interference in the affairs of Arab nations, and our nation will rise as it did before and the hands that are extended to it with evil will be cut off," Hariri said.
He accused Hezbollah's policies of putting Lebanon "in the eye of the storm."
" was able in past decades to impose a status quo in Lebanon through its weapons directed at the chests of Syrians and Lebanese," he said.
Hariri has made several visits in the past days to Iranian opponent Saudi Arabia, raising speculation that its influence might have played part in his decision.
Hariri served as prime minister from 2009 to 2011 and took office again in 2016. During his term, he headed a 30-member national unity cabinet that included the Shia militant Hezbollah.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun "will ask Hariri to remain in his position" until a candidate replaces him and forms a government, said The Independent.
Hariri's replacement has to be a Sunni Muslim, in accordance with the Lebanese constitution.

important alternative in the current geopolitical situation, a
source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia told Trend .
"In the current situation, we cannot rely on traditional routes
only due to geopolitical, security, and sanction evasion risks,"
the ministry said.
As the source noted, Latvia is now actively creating new
logistics routes linking country with Ukraine through Poland in the
"The EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes for the export of agricultural
products have been created. Latvia strongly supports Ukraine and
the Solidarity Lanes process by offering broad capacities of
Latvian ports for grain export from Ukraine and import of various
goods to Ukraine. In the coming years, it is expected that the
TEN-T network will be expanded. A new TEN-T Baltic-Black-Aegean
Seas corridor with additional connections to Ukraine and Moldova
will provide new logistics opportunities for the Baltic States
towards South-East Europe-Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and
Türkiye," the ministry said.
According to the ministry, this corridor will be a natural
integrated connection with the Trans-Caspian corridor and TRACECA
transport routes, and in the future, it can create new logistics
opportunities between Latvia and other Baltic States, the Caucasus,
Kazakhstan, other Central Asian countries, and even China.
The Middle Corridor is a transportation and trade route that
connects Asia and Europe, passing through several countries in the
region. It is an alternative route to the traditional Northern
Corridor and Southern Corridor. The route starts in China and
crosses Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and
Turkmenistan. It then passes through the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, and Türkiye before reaching Europe. The Middle Corridor
offers a land route that connects the eastern parts of Asia,
including China, with Europe, bypassing the longer maritime

UK minister: East Jerusalem is not part of Israel
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) BRUSSELS, Dec 11 (KUNA) -- Alan Duncan, UK Minister of State for Europe and the Americas, rejected Monday the announcement by the US administration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
"We don't agree with the announcement that Jerusalem is the capital. In particular Jerusalem is divided between East and West and East Jerusalem is certainly not part of Israel. I will say this very clearly this morning," he told reporters ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On his part, Belgian foreign minister Didier Reynders said "we are determined to keep working for a two-states solution and we need to discuss this today with President Netanyahu and in January with President Abbas." "I hope we can have a very open discussion about the status of Jerusalem but also about the need to stop the settlements and the destruction of humanitarian infrastructures," he said. Reynders hoped that Netanyahu would be committed to go into a real dialogue and be ready to make some concessions.
"So we hope that today will be maybe the beginning of a real dialogue and of a bigger role for the EU in this dialogue," he added. (end) nk.mb

Labour group slams transport fare increase
(MENAFN - The Peninsula) The labour group Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) slammed the impending hike in the fares of Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT), pointing out the government subsidy for the travel budget of public officials is also increasing.
PM spokesman Wilson Fortaleza said the travel budget of public officials has increased by at least 1.5bn pesos yearly since 2011.
"Clearly, there is a tale of inequality in this issue. First, the fare hike as admitted by Secretary Abaya himself is meant not for service upgrade but mainly for debt payments to an onerous contract with a private concessionaire," Fortaleza said, referring to Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya.
He said the budget cut is imposed on poor commuters while travel budget for public officials keeps increasing.
Fortaleza added MalacaÃ±ang has "uncaringly decided to remove the seven billion pesos to 10bn pesos subsidy to millions of train riders, purportedly to re-channel the freed budget to other social services."
But at the same time, MalacaÃ±ang had "resourcefully kept" on increasing the travel budget of public officials by at least 1.5bn pesos every year.

Bengaluru, Jan 15 (IANS) Former champions U Mumba continued to struggle for a win as they were held 32-32 by defending champions Bengal Warriors in Match 57 of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 at The Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, here on Saturday. IN 10 matches, U Mumba have scored only three wins and three losses while four matches have ended in stalemates.
The Mumbai team has desperately sought inspiration from other players with raider V Ajith Kumar injured. Their hope rested on their experienced defence step up against Warriors' star raider Maninder Singh. But that did not work out and the Mumbai team had to be satisfied with a tie on Saturday as they continued to struggle at sixth position in the table with 28 points from 10 matches.
Bengal Warriors are eighth among 12 teams with 25 points from 10 matches.
With Bengal needing a victory to maintain their chances of remaining in contention for a spot in the playoffs, the defending champions opened up a small lead as they went into half-time 19-17 ahead.
Both teams tried their best in the second half but in the end, the score remained tied 32-32.
Maninder Singh led Bengal Warriors as the perfect raider of the match while their star Abozar Mighani was adjudged defender of the match. U Mumba's Abhishek Singh was declared the game changer of the match while Rinku earned the moment of the match award.

(MENAFN- AFP) French energy giant Total is expected to abandon its search for oil and gas off Cyprus, the island's Energy Minister George Lakkotrypis said on Wednesday.
He said the government had been informed last September that Total has failed to locate any targets to test drill in the blocks it is licensed to exploit.
"It has not found any geological structures or targets to continue its obligations," Lakkotrypis told public radio.
"There will be a final decision next week as there are contractual obligations," he added.
The minister said Total's decision to cut its losses was based on "commercial viability" and not Turkish threats to prevent Cyprus developing its offshore energy reserves before a deal is reached to end the decades-long division of the island.
Ankara says it is defending the rights of Turkish Cypriots who declared a breakaway state in the north of the island in 1983, nine years after Turkish troops invaded in response to an Athens-engineered coup aimed at union with Greece.
But Cyprus is unhappy that Turkey is determined to search for oil and gas in the same area of the island's exclusive economic zone where it has already licensed exploratory drilling.
The Greek Cypriot side has suspended UN-brokered reunification talks in protest.
News of Total's likely withdrawal comes after Italian-Korean energy consortium ENI-Kogas said its first test drill had come up dry and puts a new dent in Cyprus's hopes of becoming a regional energy player.
Cyprus has ambitions to become a hub not only for its own gas exports but also for Israeli and even Lebanese ones, but it needs to find more gas reserves to make a proposed land terminal financially viable.
It wants to build a liquefied natural gas plant at Vassiliko on the island's southern coast and has commissioned US firm Noble Energy, with its Israeli partners Delek and Avner, as well as Total, to carry out feasibility studies.
But it now seems there are insufficient reserves to make that option feasible.
Noble made the first find in the Aphrodite field off Cyprus's southeastern coast in 2011. It is estimated to contain 102 billion to 170 billion cubic metres (3.6 trillion to six trillion cubic feet) of gas.

Lucknow, March 29 (IANS) The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has issued non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the principal secretary, Basic Education Department of Uttar Pradesh government.
This has been done because the official failed to appear before the court despite its order.
A single judge bench of Justice Irshad Ali passed the order on the contempt petition filed by the Manyata Prapta Teachers Association.
The charges against the principal secretary, secretary and director of the department were framed last month for not complying with the court order.
Petitioners had pointed out to the court that despite a decade of orders to appoint them in primary schools run by the basic education department was passed, they were yet to be appointed.
The court rejected the application moved by the state counsel seeking exemption of Deepak Kumar, principal secretary, from the court appearance.
"It is very unfortunate that officer of the rank of principal secretary is taking the order of this court in a very casual manner in a contempt proceeding initiated against him. The act of Deepak Kumar, principal secretary, is not acceptable," observed the court.
Accordingly, a non-bailable warrant of arrest for Deepak Kumar was issued.
The court also directed secretary, Pratap Singh Baghel and the then director, Shubha Singh, of the basic education department to appear before it on April 10.
Appearing on behalf of the petitioner in February last in court, senior advocate L.P. Mishra had apprised the court that the petitioner had flouted two orders of the high court passed on February 14, 2013 and July 30, 2014.

(MENAFN) According to Reuters, oil prices were little changed during Asian trade on Friday, but were on track for their first weekly rise in five weeks, supported by a lower US dollar and the chance that OPEC+ may agree to cut petroleum supply when it meets on Oct. 5.
Brent oil futures for November, which expire on Friday, fell 10 cents, or 0.1%, to $88.39 a barrel at 0303 GMT, after falling 83 cents the previous session. The more actively traded December contract remained steady at $87.18.
WTI crude futures in the United States for November delivery increased 0.1%, or 9 cents, to $81.32 per barrel, after sliding 92 cents the previous day.
"A deteriorating crude demand outlook won't allow oil to rally until energy traders are confident that OPEC+ will slash output at the October 5th meeting," Edward Moya, senior analyst with OANDA, stated in a client note.
"The weakness with crude prices is somewhat limited as the dollar softens going into quarter-end."
After reaching nine-month lows earlier in the week, both Brent and WTI are on course to increase by nearly 3% for the week, their first weekly advance since August.
The decline in the dollar from 20-year highs earlier in the week supported oil prices. A weakening dollar makes dollar-denominated oil more affordable to customers holding foreign currencies, increasing demand for the commodity.
