Vanuatu's president has pardoned the jailed former MP, Paul Telukluk.
State House said the pardon was based on compassionate grounds.
Paul Telukluk is one of 14 former MPs who were convicted and jailed in 2015 for bribery and corruption.
He was returned to prison last year when he was convicted of perverting the course of justice.
That charge also stemmed from 2015 when one of the convicted MPs, who was the Speaker of Parliament, conspired as acting president to pardon the group.
This week, President Obed Moses Tallis legitimately pardoned Mr Telukluk, whose health is understood to be deteriorating.
In March, President Tallis said he was considering pardoning all of the MPs who were involved in the 2015 constitutional crisis.
But RNZ Pacific understands nothing is being done on that for the time being.

Malaysia to aid technology transfer to its businesses
The Malaysian government will help local businesses acquire foreign technology to develop new products, said the country's minister of science, technology and innovation last Thursday (4 August).
Jamaludin Jarjis told the national news agency Bernama that importing overseas technologies, especially from Europe and the United States, would accelerate the development of Malaysia's biotechnology and information technology industries.
The Malaysian government sees both sectors as essential for economic growth.
Jamaludin said Malaysian companies could apply to the ministry for funding to pay for the foreign intellectual property and technologies they need to develop new products.
He said the science ministry would ask the government to increase its research and development budget — currently about 1.5 billion ringgits (US$400 million) — to help cover these costs.
If Malaysia is to meet its target of becoming a developed country by 2020, it must focus on applying existing technologies, rather than undertake the time-consuming process of developing new ones, said the minister.
In this respect, he said, Malaysia should emulate countries such as South Korea, which regularly import technologies from more developed countries.But he added that prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi acknowledged that basic scientific research is also important for the country's economy and emphasised that such research would not be abandoned.

The political divide in America has become quite deep in recent years. It has been fueled by various factors, including polarization of the media, growing income inequality, and increasing cultural and social differences.
The divide has become particularly evident in the way that Americans view their political leaders and the policies they advocate. There is a growing sense of partisanship and polarization, where people are more likely to support policies and politicians based on their party affiliation rather than the merits of the policies or the qualifications of the politicians.
This divide has also been fueled by social media, which has made it easier for people to connect with others who share their views and to consume news and information that reinforces their existing beliefs. This has led to a situation where people on both sides of the political spectrum often live in their own echo chambers and are less likely to engage in meaningful dialogue with those who hold different views.
The political divide has also led to a breakdown in trust in institutions such as the media, government, and even the electoral process. Many Americans now question the legitimacy of elections and the fairness of the electoral process, leading to further division and mistrust.
Overall, the political divide in America has become a significant challenge for the country, and addressing it will require a concerted effort from political leaders, media outlets, and individuals across the political spectrum to bridge the gap and engage in constructive dialogue.

Generating Revenue through Taxes and Premiums
One of the most significant ways that the government makes money from public health care is through taxes and premiums. We all know that taxes are an inevitable part of our lives, and a significant portion of our income goes to the government in the form of taxes. But did you know that a considerable chunk of these taxes are used to fund public health care services?
Depending on the country and the specific public health care system in place, these taxes can be collected through general taxation, payroll taxes, or even dedicated health care taxes. In some cases, governments may also charge premiums or fees for specific health care services. These funds are then used to support the public health care system, ensuring that everyone has access to essential health care services regardless of their ability to pay.
Investing in Preventive Care
Another way that the government makes money from public health care is by investing in preventive care. Preventive care focuses on keeping people healthy before they get sick, which can ultimately save the government money in the long run. By investing in services like vaccination programs, educational campaigns, and screening initiatives, the government can help reduce the number of people who need expensive medical treatments later on.
Preventive care not only helps to improve the overall health of the population, but it can also lead to cost savings for the government. By reducing the number of people who need medical care, the government can save a significant amount of money on health care costs. This money can then be used to fund other essential services or even be reinvested back into the public health care system.
Fostering Healthy Lifestyles
Encouraging healthy lifestyles among the population is another way that the government can make money from public health care. By promoting healthy habits, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and smoking cessation, the government can help to prevent chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
When people adopt healthier lifestyles, the demand for health care services decreases, which can save the government money. Additionally, a healthier population can lead to increased productivity and economic growth, which in turn can generate more tax revenue for the government. Moreover, some governments have introduced taxes on unhealthy items, such as sugary drinks or tobacco products, to further discourage their consumption and generate additional revenue.
Utilizing Cost-Effective Treatments
The government can also make money from public health care by focusing on cost-effective treatments and interventions. By prioritizing treatments that offer the best outcomes for the lowest cost, the government can ensure that the public health care system is both effective and financially sustainable.
Cost-effective treatments allow the government to allocate resources more efficiently, which can lead to cost savings for the public health care system. These savings can then be used to fund other essential services or be reinvested back into the health care system to improve access to care and the overall health of the population.
Collaborating with Private Sector Partners
Finally, the government can make money from public health care by collaborating with private sector partners. By working together, the government and private sector can share the costs and risks associated with health care services, reducing the financial burden on the government and ultimately leading to cost savings.
Examples of public-private partnerships in health care include contracting out certain services to private providers, collaborating on research and development initiatives, and establishing joint ventures to develop new health care facilities or services. These partnerships can help to improve the efficiency of the public health care system and generate additional revenue for the government.
In conclusion, the government makes money from public health care in several ways, including through taxes and premiums, investing in preventive care, fostering healthy lifestyles, utilizing cost-effective treatments, and collaborating with private sector partners. By leveraging these strategies, the government can ensure that the public health care system remains financially sustainable while continuing to provide essential health care services to everyone who needs them.

Islamabad–Pakistan on Thursday announced that it would take the matter of India revoking special status for Jammu and Kashmir to the United Nations Security Council.
Addressing a press conference here, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the decision had been taken in light of several pre-existing UN resolutions on the Kashmir dispute, Dawn newspaper reported.
The Minister said that Pakistan “rejected New Delhi’s impression that scrapping Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was its internal matter” and called the “claim wrong from a historical, legal and moral perspective”.
Qureshi also questioned India’s stand that the change in the constitutional status was aimed at taking steps for the welfare of Kashmiris, the report said.
He asked that what had stopped New Delhi from taking such measures since Article 370 was inserted into the Indian Constitution seven decades ago.
Noting that as many as thousands of Indian troops had been deployed in Kashmir, Qureshi asked the Indian government whether turning the region into a “virtual jail” was one of its “welfare steps”, according to Dawn.
Challenging India’s stance that the Kashmir move was its “internal matter”, the Minister said former Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had declared “countless times” making at least 14 solemn promises and commitments that “the future of Kashmir is going to be decided finally by the goodwill and pleasure of her people”.

Two members of the Swedish Parliament said their government should demand and hold the Ethiopian regime accountable for the various human rights violations in the country.
Anders Österberg and Maria Andersson Willner both members of the Foreign Affairs Committee said in an opinion published in the Swedish media that “the violations of human rights in today’s Ethiopia can no longer be ignored.”
“If the regime in Ethiopia can hold on to power ignoring the outside world, a full-scale civil war risks breaking out,” the MPs warned.
“We want the Swedish government to ask the Ethiopian government to account for what’s going on in the country.”
“We want Foreign Minister Margot Wallström (S) to explain how she seeks to demand independent investigations of the massacres that have occurred.”
The MPs said the Ethiopian regime has acknowledged for the first time that it held political prisoners. They said the international community has a responsibility to follow up on the promise by the regime to release political prisoners.
The MPs wrote that Sweden should urge legal investigations of the murders that have occurred while the ongoing violations of human rights have to be condemned. They said those who committed the crimes must be brought to justice.

Why do students think they’re entrepreneurs?
I’ve often wondered if the reason that most students think their ideas are so unique is because of the sheer volume of them that they’ve come across in their daily life.
But it’s not just about how many people have a chance to hear them, but how many ideas are there?
The number of new ideas that students have every day has been estimated at more than 4,000.
What’s the reason why we don’t hear about the things that really make the world better?

Two inmates have been set free and another five admitted to bail by the Chief Judge of Abia state.
Uzokwe gave the order during her official visit to the prison.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the freed inmates were males, while those granted bail were a nursing mother, a pregnant teenager and three males.
According to her, there was no pending charge against the two inmates before any court of law since they were remanded in custody in 2014.
Uzokwe explained that the inmates were being discharged on grounds that they had been remanded in custody long enough to have served the terms for the offences they had committed.
She also said that the inmates were discharged due to the absence of any information on their warrant to justify their continued stay in prison.
Uzokwe warned the accused persons against jumping bail, adding that they were expected to make themselves available in court regularly.
She directed the Director of Public Prosecution and the Police to expedite action to ensure that accused persons in prison custody were charged to court.
Uzokwe said that this would aid the quick dispensation of justice and de-congestion of the prisons as well as prevent unlawful detention of accused persons.
NAN reports that the five accused persons allegedly committed crimes such as theft, child trafficking, conspiracy and armed robbery.

Tribune News Service
Dharamsala, October 16
The Congress today made second capital status to Dharamsala as its main issue for the byelection.
Addressing a press conference here today, Congress leaders led by CLP leader Mukesh Agnihotri said the party’s official stand was that Dharamsala was the second capital of the state. The party stands by the notification the Congress government issued during its previous stint in power officially declaring Dharamsala as the second capital. He said if Congress was voted to power, it would give allowances to employees of Dharamsala Secretariat on a par with that of the Shimla Secretariat.
The Congress firmed up its stand over the issue after former CM Shanta Kumar in a press conference held at Dharamsala recently said that there was no need of second capital in a small state like Himachal.
Agnihotri said it was unfortunate that the present BJP government in the state was discriminating against the Kangra and other lower regions of the state. Government offices have been shifted from Kangra district to Mandi. Many development projects going on in the district have also been shifted.
He said the CM himself had admitted that nothing much had been done in Dharamsala region in the last two years. For that the BJP should issue a public apology to the people of Dharamsala.
He also criticised the government was spending crores on the Global Investors Meet being held next month in Dharamsala. Nothing much was likely to come out of it as there was no focus on the sectors in which the government wanted investment.
The government also does not have any stated policy for industry which can attract investment. Earlier it was being projected that private investors would be invited for investors meet but now ongoing investments by public sector units are being shown as investments, he said.
Congress MLA Rajinder Rana demanded that the government should put before people the outcome of police case in the letter bomb case wherein graft was alleged in the Health Department.

Dharamshala, Nov 2 : The public support received by the Congress party in the state by-elections is the result of the anti people policies of the BJP, Congress leader Sapan Sood said on Tuesday.
He said that the strong leadership of the party, high-level media management and the untiring hard work of the party’s workers resulted in a crushing defeat of BJP in one Parliamentary constituency and three assembly constituencies.
Spokesperson of District Kangra Congress Committee, Sapan Sood stated this on Tuesday after the Congress won all the 3 assembly and one Lok Saba seat in the by elections.
He said that the Congress party, which raises its voice for the issues of public interest, is the popular political party of lakhs of people of the state. He said that the party also fulfills its political responsibility by respecting the public sentiments.
He said relentless and selfless service towards the party by the party workers under the guidance of senior leaders of the state Congress has shown in the election results.
With dedication, the Congress has been successful in taking the anti-people policies of the BJP to every nook and corner of the state, Sood said.
Congress leader Sapan Sood while expressing his views said that the people of the state are waiting for the assembly elections scheduled for 2022 to overthrow the BJP government which is sitting blindly on issues of public interest.
He said that by making inflation the main issue in the elections, the party will motivate the women of the state to vote heavily against the BJP. Sapan Sood said that the economic budget of the housewives has been shattered due to the skyrocketing inflation. Spanish said the women were experiencing the pain of rising prices of other food items including pulses, rice, oil and flour lying in the kitchen before burning the stove for two time meals.
He said that the women since the skyrocketing inflation and petrol and LPG Cylender they were suffering of the inflation trauma.

He said that the political ship of BJP has sunk in the state.


Tanzania’s government says is teaming up with Mozambique to launch a joint operation against violent attacks by Islamist militants along their shared border. But some opposition parties and rights groups are raising concerns about how the Tanzanian government plans to tackle the threat.
Several recent attacks blamed on Islamist extremists have targeted the border village of Ktaya in Tanzania’s Mtwara region.
Police say more than 175 houses were set on fire and some people were killed by assailants, who, authorities say, fled into neighboring Mozambique.
Tanzania has already increased security along the border and it is now joining forces with Mozambique to contain what it calls terrorists.
Simon Sirro, Tanzania’s police commander, says there will be a joint operation because the attackers come from Mozambique and they have much information to make sure that we catch those terrorists. Sirro adds that the big thing that we ask Tanzanians especially for is those who live in the neighboring villages to make sure they give us information. He also says there are many things that they have agreed that he can’t say, but all is to help to catch those criminals.
But Tanzanian opposition politicians worry about how the government will go about handling the threat. Boniface Jacob is a former Dar es Salaam mayor and member of the opposition Chadema party.
He says maybe the governments have taken and are still taking measures to fight terrorists but he is dissatisfied with the level of sharing of information, because it’s everything. He cites that, contrary to other countries, Tanzania has been secretive regarding terrorism, something that limits public information on the matter.
Video has circulated recently on social media showing Ktaya villagers being killed by the alleged terrorists, who the government believes are aligned with the militant group Islamic State.
Human rights groups say that the government should be honest in providing information related to the attacks. Kumbusho Dawson is a rights activist.
He says Tanzania police have been quiet. Information came out on social media but police remained quiet. The United States embassy issued a travel warning advising Americans about the threat in the south. Later police spoke out. He adds that he thinks police should provide more information to the public about the terrorist acts taking place.
Some citizens say it’s scary hearing about the attacks but they have hope that a government effort that works with local residents will deter terrorism.
Saidi Mussa, a Dar es Salaam resident, says the video that was circulating on social media was not taken by the government. It’s the citizens who took and share them. He adds that they are the ones that have the primary information, therefore the government has to make sure that they work together with the citizens.
Authorities say the attacks started in October, when insurgents beheaded more than 20 resident of Ktaya.
The government insists that it will succeed in its mission because it understands the motives of the insurgents.

The chairman of Seko, the Union of Service and Communication Employees, Janne Rudén, said that the theme running through the budget was taking from the poor to give to the rich. In a press release he said that he was surprised by the “tough and right-leaning policies”.
“I think this is a big insult to all the people who thought they were voting for a new workers’ party,” said Rudén, who added that he was disappointed as he had been led to believe that the government would enter into a dialogue with the unions and that tax cuts would benefit those on lower incomes.
“Now they’ve done precisely the opposite and begun the union dialogue in a war zone.”
Wanja Lundby Wedin, the chairman of LO, Sweden’s biggest union organisation, was also critical. She said that insecurity would increase for all employees, while only a few would gain financially.
“The proposals will put a downward pressure on salaries. It’s also significant that the government has weak job policies. Unlike the conservatives, we believe that unemployment depends on a lack of jobs – and not a lack of will to seek jobs,” she said in a press statement.
On the other hand, the government’s planned investment in more old people’s homes was welcomed by the Swedish Pensioners’ Association, which had pushed the issue before the election.
“Those who feel alone and unsafe should not be forced to live at home,” said the association’s Ann Lindgren.
The chairman of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, Urban Bäckström, emphasised that the budget proposal was a return to “the classic model”, where partners took responsibility for the development of the labour market.
In a press release, he said that political interference in the job market had led to a massive and growing army of isolated unemployed over the last 30 years.

Iran Agrees to Talks With U.S.
An Iranian security official announced today that Iran has accepted our request to engage in a discussion of Iraq’s political future. It seems that the White House has turned, hat in hand, to its latest “boogeyman” to save our bacon in Iraq.
: It would be the first public dialogue since the 1979 hostage crisis, after which the nations broke off ties, correspondents say.
Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said Tehran would agree to talks to “resolve Iraqi issues” and help establish an independent government.
The White House said the US would talk about Iraq, but not about Iran’s controversial nuclear programme.Wait, before you go…

Wrangell’s public health services are receiving additional changes for the new fiscal year. There will now be age restrictions on some services.
Southeast Public Health Nurse Manager Sarah Hargrave said the cuts were made due to $5.4 million in budget cuts over the past two years.
“In addition to the position eliminations, there’s some individual services we had to change, and the reason for that is because we have fewer staff. We can’t do the same amount of work with 25 percent less staff. It’s not feasible,” said Hargrave.
Immunization and reproductive health services will now be only provided to people younger than 29 years old, the highest risk group without access to additional care said Hargrave. She public health services will help women who don’t meet the age restrictions transition to other providers.
“For women who we’ve been seeing for reproductive health services, we’re being really cognizant of helping them transition to other care. So we will continue to see them for the next couple of months to help them get care elsewhere,” said Hargrave.
She said they can easily help patients find immunization services over the phone and that other services will continue as they have in the past.
“We will continue to provide community education, community collaboration as we always have, as well as our infectious disease work will continue,” said Hargrave.
The restrictions come after Wrangell’s public health nurse and health assistant positions were eliminated earlier this spring and the public health building closed its doors. Petersburg’s public health nurse has been providing itinerant services in Wrangell for several months.
Hargrave said the frequency of those visits will continue to be based off community need.

MELODY MUPETA, Kitwe
OVER 650 people on the Copperbelt are currently receiving treatment for sickle-cell anaemia at the Kitwe Teaching
Hospital, senior consultant paediatrician Jerome Sulubani has said.
In 2015, the hospital launched the Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) club to help raise awareness and educate patients on how to manage the disease, which is hereditary.
Dr Sulubani said in an interview in Kitwe that the number of people seeking treatment for sickle cell at the health institution keeps increasing because of random tests conducted on people suspected to have it.
Dr Sulubani, who is also SCD president, said there is need to raise awareness on the disease because a lot of people still lack information on sickle-cell anaemia.
“We expect to see an increase in the number of people accessing treatment for sickle cell at our institution. Some people we attend to think they have malaria but when we do the tests, we find that they have sickle cell,” he said.
Dr Sulubani said the number of sickle-cell patients receiving treatment at the health institution is likely to increase with more sensitisation being conducted.
He said the purpose of the SCD club, which has also been opened in Ndola, Lusaka and Livingstone, is to help ascertain the number of people living with the disease in Zambia.
He said the number of people born with the disease can be reduced once people are sensitised on its causes and effects.
Dr Sulubani has since called on the public, especially couples that are about to get married, to get tested for the disease to ascertain if they are carriers of sickle-cell.


Auditor General Hassan Ziyath has stated that Maldivians in the auditing sector needs to increase.
The Auditor-General was speaking at the Accountants Forum when he stated that the sector of auditing and accounting was dominated by foreigners when the country was introduced to the sector and that it is still the case today.
He also stressed that since a lot of Maldivians are studying accounting and auditing in the country, the sector needs to be overhauled with Maldivians. The Auditor General's office was also conducting efforts to enhance the capabilities of auditors in the country, according to Auditor General Ziyath. He also highlighted the fact that higher education opportunities were presented to train individuals in the sector.
Ziyath also revealed his hope to form a Chartered Accountants organization in the country.
The Auditor-General also expressed his gratitude for the support received for the forum from industry professionals. This is the third year that the Accountants forum is being held by the Auditor General.


Government pays 45 percent of health costs
A U.S. government study in Washington has suggested the federal government currently pays 45 percent of the nation's health costs.
The study, which comes amid increasing agitation for the government to pay more of the country's health costs, said the amount paid by the government is expected to increase to 50 percent within the next 10 years, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The study authors said the government's increasing healthcare costs can be attributed to Medicare's prescription drug program, the growth of the State Children's Health Insurance Program and other similar initiatives, cutbacks in employer-sponsored coverage and increased spending by Medicaid users.
They said the findings support claims that the United States is slowly moving towards a single-payer system.
"We are moving incrementally away from traditional sources of insurance, such as employer-based coverage, to a system comprising more federal and state government-provided healthcare," said the study's authors, who work for the agency that runs Medicare.
