(MENAFN) Former President Donald Trump is facing criminal charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg related to a "hush money" payment made in 2016 to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and claims he never had an affair with Daniels. He is set to surrender to police and appear in court for the first time on Tuesday.
James Trusty, an attorney representing Trump in a separate investigation, believes the former president's legal team will file motions to dismiss the Manhattan case before it reaches trial. Trusty stated that the New York case is "ripe for motions" and predicted that any motions filed by the Trump team will be "well-founded."
Trusty further stated that any charges involving an intent to defraud will be difficult to prove under New York law, and that there will be weaknesses in the case. He believes that the Trump team's motions could knock the case out before any jury ever hears an opening statement.
In an interview with CBS News, Trusty expressed confidence that even legal scholars on the other side of the political aisle will recognize the power of the motions his team plans to file. He believes that the case is weak and that any motions filed will be based on solid legal grounds.
The grand jury investigating the case voted to indict Trump, making him the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. However, Trusty believes that the Trump team's motions to dismiss may be successful in getting the charges thrown out before ever reaching trial.

Sharjah Police have busted a fake 'massage parlour' gang that lured in unsuspecting people with the promise of services and then robbed them at knifepoint.
The gang consisted of five Asians who distributed 'business cards' offering massage or spa therapy sessions. The gang would then blackmail the clients at knifepoint and extort money from them.
Colonel Omar Abu Zoud, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at the Sharjah Police, explained that the authority received a tip-off about one of the suspects distributing cards in the Rolla area.
Specialised security teams proceeded to identify and raid the suspect's residence. After searching the place, the police found several boxes of business cards advertising massage services. They also found a number of white weapons (knives) of various sizes.
Further investigations led the cops to the rest of the gang members, who were promptly arrested. All the accused admitted to the crime and their roles in the racket. They were then handed over to the relevant authorities for prosecution.

(MENAFN) In February, US consumer confidence experienced a decline following three consecutive months of increases, primarily driven by household apprehensions regarding the labor market and the domestic political climate. The Conference Board reported on Tuesday that its consumer confidence index dropped to 106.7 this month, down from a downwardly revised 110.9 recorded in January. Economists, who were surveyed by Reuters, had anticipated only a slight alteration in the index to 115.0 from the previous reading of 114.8.
Dana Peterson, the chief economist at the Conference Board in Washington, highlighted that responses collected in February underscored shifting concerns among consumers. While overall inflation remains a significant worry, particularly amidst the ongoing economic landscape, consumers exhibited reduced apprehensions regarding food and gas prices, which have demonstrated a decline in recent months. However, there has been a notable increase in concerns surrounding the labor market conditions and the prevailing political environment within the United States.
One notable aspect revealed by the data is the decline in consumer price inflation expectations, which fell to 5.2 percent in February, marking the lowest level observed since March 2020. This decrease, from 5.3 percent recorded in January, reflects a shift in consumer perceptions amidst evolving economic dynamics. Despite the lingering concerns regarding inflation, the moderation in price expectations may signify a recalibration of consumer sentiment in response to recent economic trends.

(MENAFN) A group representing a noticeable Christian denomination in Türkiye on Wednesday criticized the burning of a copy of Islam’s holy book the Quran in Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
"I consider the burning of the Quran in Sweden an act to provoke and humiliate the Muslim world. We do not approve of this act, we condemn it in the strongest possible terms,” Pastor Ertan Cevik, chief of the Protestant Baptist Churches Association of Türkiye, informed media in the western Izmir province.
Stressing the importance of peaceful coexistence, he stated such an invasion, no matter what faith it seeks to harm, is “purely provocation.”
“Many books were burned and destroyed in medieval Europe, and at the same time, many Jewish books were burned in the streets during the Nazi era,” he added.
Underlining that Christians are very upset regarding this provocation in Sweden, he stated that they do not find it right that it was permitted.
“This provocative act has stirred up outrage in terms of all faiths... We condemn (such acts) because they are disrespectful to democracy and human rights and beliefs,” he continued.

Caterpillar reported a drop in profits Tuesday as higher costs and the drag from the strong dollar offset the lift from buoyant demand in industrial markets.
This manufacturer of machine equipment for the construction, resource and energy sectors saw continued healthy demand across its businesses.
But executives cited increased materials costs amid lingering supply chain problems as a drag, while also pointing to a hit from higher freight costs.
Net profits for the fourth quarter came in at $1.5 billion, down 31.4 percent from the year-ago period, while revenues rose 20.3 percent to $16.6 billion.
Company officials described broad progress on supply chain shortfalls, but with some areas still problematic.
"All it takes is one component to prevent you from shipping an engineering machine," Chief Executive Jim Umpleby said on a conference call with analysts.
"It's very different product by product."
The said it company expects cost pressures to moderate throughout the year. Caterpillar is looking for opportunities to pass on higher costs to consumers, while weighing what's feasible.
"Certainly we take into account the increases from our suppliers in cost," Umpleby said. "We also pay very close attention to the competitive market ... we're managing the balance."
Shares fell 3.3 percent to $252.76 in afternoon trading.

Dhaka: Bangladesh has the potential to become an aviation hub due to its geographic location, said Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman, Chairman of Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh on December 2.
'Capacity building of the airlines, infrastructural development and skilled manpower are crucial to make it happen,' said CAAB Chief at a seminar titled 'Aviation and Tourism opportunity: Connecting Bangladesh with the world' at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the capital.
The seminar was held on the sidelines of the Bangladesh International Travel and Tourism Expo organised by the Association of Travel Agents of Bangladesh (Atab) at BICC.
Presenting the keynote at the seminar, Mafidur Rahman said Bangladesh is important for geographic reasons as all South Asian countries can be reached within two hours from here.
Besides, any country in Asia can be reached in four hours and all European countries in about six hours. Hence, Bangladesh has the potential to become an aviation hub, he added.
'We have to increase the capacity of our airports. The government has taken several mega projects for the development of this sector. Construction of the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is underway in full swing. A massive 'Export Cargo Complex' is being constructed at Osmani International Airport in Sylhet and the runway extension work of Cox's Bazar Airport is also in progress,' he said.
Even though the number of flights is increasing every year, providing cheap fuel has become the biggest challenge at the moment, noted CAAB Chairman, adding that the Russia-Ukraine war is creating a negative impact on the aviation sector.
'Another big challenge is to keep pace with the latest technology as aviation is a technology-dependent sector. We need to create skilled manpower for expanding this sector,' Mafidur Rahman said.
At the seminar, SM Nazmul Anam, Regional Officer of Flight Safety at the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), said country branding and developing infrastructure are necessary for Bangladesh to be an aviation hub.
Bangladesh Tourism Board Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abu Tahir Muhammad Zaber and Atab President SN Manzur Murshed also spoke in the seminar chaired by Civil Aviation and Tourism Secretary Md Mokammel Hossain.

Riyadh – Asdaf News:
Visitors can experience a vivid representation of Emirati heritage and traditions at the Heritage Village, which is one of the Sheikh Zayed Festival's events.
A replica of each of the four primary environments where the Emirati civilization settled and thrived can be found in the Heritage Village, which is central to the Sheikh Zayed Festival grounds. These environments are the marine environment, the desert environment, the mountain environment, and the agricultural environment. Visitors are given glimpses into early UAE life through each reproduction thanks to life-size mock-ups that were made to accurately represent those locations.
The Heritage Village was created using the distinctive traditional architecture and bears the inscription“Hayakom,” which in Emirati dialect means“Welcome.” The gates are replicas of military structures from antiquity that acted as barriers against outside dangers.
With its mud and palm leaf buildings that induce nostalgia and pique curiosity in the UAE's cultural heritage, the Heritage Village is a remarkable stop that transports visitors away from the modern world and into the simplicity of life in earlier times.
The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, Emirates Falconers Club, Abu Dhabi's Arabian Saluki Centre, Emirates Heritage Club, and Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club all worked together to create the Heritage Village as a result of their shared desire to preserve and promote Emirati culture to the general public. The Heritage Village has a UAE Heritage Studio where tourists and guests can take priceless pictures while dressed in traditional Emirati attire, both for women and men. The studio has a historic grocery store called“Al Dukan,” which stocks a variety of antiquated foods that Emiratis find nostalgic, as well as a henna tinting station where guests may observe the usage of the oldest and most popular cosmetic product still in use today.
To familiarize the general public with the manner of life of their Emirati ancestors, the Heritage Village offers a wide range of arts and crafts options, including ceramics, cutting-edge tools, and traditional clothing.

Czech Republic's President Supports Lowering Voting Age, Increasing Salaries for Academics
(MENAFN) The president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, has expressed his support for lowering the minimum age for voters from 18 to 16. According to local media reports, Pavel made the announcement during a recent visit to the eastern Frydek-Mistek province. He argued that young people have sufficient knowledge about developments in the country and that their involvement in elections would not pose a security risk. This proposal is part of a broader trend across Europe towards expanding voting rights for young people and increasing their participation in the democratic process.
In addition to his support for lowering the voting age, Pavel also expressed his solidarity with academics protesting for higher salaries. Specifically, he called for an increase in the salaries of academics teaching at philosophical faculties. This statement comes amid ongoing protests by Czech academics, who have been calling for higher salaries and better working conditions. The protests have gained momentum in recent months, with thousands of academics staging walkouts and demonstrations across the country.
Pavel's support for these issues reflects his commitment to promoting greater participation and fairness in Czech society. By advocating for the rights of young people and academics, he is sending a message that the government is committed to addressing the concerns of all citizens. These proposals are also in line with broader trends in Europe towards greater inclusivity and social justice, as governments seek to address the needs of marginalized groups and ensure that all citizens have a voice in the democratic process.
Overall, Pavel's statements on lowering the voting age and increasing salaries for academics are significant developments in Czech politics. These proposals have the potential to reshape the country's political landscape and create a more inclusive and democratic society. As the government continues to grapple with these issues, it will be important to ensure that all voices are heard and that policies are implemented in a way that benefits all citizens.

(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) The Sri Lanka Navy initiated a far-reaching conservation project to plant 5,000 Mangrove Trees in the Jaffna peninsula.
The project launched under the aegis of Commander of the Sri Lanka Navy Vice Admiral Nishantha Ulugetenne, aims to plant mangrove saplings around the coastal lagoons in Jaffna and Kilinochchi Districts, reinstating their commitment to preserve the country's marine and coastal environment. Tokyo Cement Group extended support to this great initiative by supplying over 3,500 mangrove saplings raised at their mangrove nursery in Trincomalee.
Symbolizing the longstanding partnership between the two champions in marine conservation Mr. S. R. Gnanam, Managing Director of Tokyo Cement Company (Lanka) PLC and Mr. K. Mahesan, Government Agent/District Secretary of Jaffna graced the mangrove planting event organized by the Commander of the Northern Naval Area, Rear Admiral Priyantha Perera, at the Ponnalei causeway at the entrance to Karainagar Island. Key representatives of Jaffna fisheries communities were also present at this occasion to extend support to this remarkable endeavour by the Navy.
The Sri Lanka Navy is an esteemed, long-term partner in two successful environmental conservation projects spearheaded by the Tokyo Cement Group.
Their deep engagement in Tokyo Cement's Coral Reef Conservation and the Mangrove Reforestation initiatives has helped extend the reach and impact of the programs.
The Navy has so far planted over 20,000 mangrove trees propagated at Tokyo Cement Group's Mangrove nursery in Trincomalee, along the Eastern and Northern costal belts. Supporting the Sri Lanka Navy in this farsighted initiative to restore the natural mangrove forest in the Jaffna peninsula strengthens this valuable partnership, further reiterating Tokyo Cement Group's commitment to enrich the country, its people, and the environment.

(MENAFN- Arab Times) Eight of the 10 men supposedly convicted and jailed for attempting to murder Pakistani schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai were actually cleared, officials said Friday. Malala was shot in the head in October 2012 by Pakistani Taleban militants who boarded her school bus in an attack that also wounded two of her friends and shocked the world.
In April, legal and security officials announced that a court had sentenced 10 men to life imprisonment over the attack, following a trial in Malala's hometown of Mingora, in Pakistan's northwestern Swat district.
The suspects had been detained by the army during a major anti-militant offensive and the existence of the trial was kept secret until after its conclusion. No media were present for any hearings. Salim Khan Marwat, the Swat district police chief, said that contrary to the earlier announcement, the antiterrorist court had cleared all but two of the suspects. "Two of them were sentenced to life imprisonment while eight others were acquitted," he told AFP. "I have no knowledge where the eight persons are now - either in military custody or released." Azad Khan, the deputy inspector general of police for Malakand division, of which Swat forms a part, confirmed the details and said the trial had been held under military supervision.
A senior court official with close knowledge of the case also confirmed the news, which emerged in a report in Britain's Mirror newspaper. "Two of them were convicted and eight others were acquitted because of insufficient evidences and no proofs," the official told AFP. "The two, Israrullah and Izhar were sentenced to 25 years jail term, which is equivalent to life imprisonment."
