TikTok to be banned forever in US
(MENAFN) US Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican and China hawk, announced on Tuesday that he would put a bill to forbid TikTok in the United States.
TikTok, whose parent is the Chinese company ByteDance, already faces a restriction that would stop federal staffs from using or downloading TikTok on government-owned devices.
“TikTok is China’s backdoor into Americans’ lives. It threatens our children’s privacy as well as their mental health,” he shared on Twitter. “Now I will introduce legislation to ban it nationwide.”
Hawley did not state when the decision would be applied.
TikTok further declared that Hawley was taking the wrong approach.
“Senator Hawley’s call for a total ban of TikTok takes a piecemeal approach to national security and a piecemeal approach to broad industry issues like data security, privacy and online harms,” on the words of spokeswoman Brooke Oberwetter. “We hope that he will focus his energies on efforts to address those issues holistically, rather than pretending that banning a single service would solve any of the problems he’s concerned about or make Americans any safer.”

What might be more important to study is why we are still debating where to point the finger of responsibility. –JCL

Modi government is anti-farmer: Yogendra Yadav
Addressing reporters on completion of the Modi government's two years in power, Yadav said the ruling BJP at the Centre has been anti-farmer since the time it came to power.
"The BJP, in its election manifesto, had promised to serve farmers in many ways but when the party came to power, it failed to deliver on its promises," he said.
Commenting on the union budget, Yadav said it is aimed to favour industrialists and not farmers.
Yadav also told reporters that the government is not keen to resolve the drought problem, or it would have declared the affected states as drought-hit and taken adequate measures.
Referring to the Land Acquisition Bill, he said the Modi government has shown undue haste in wanting to pass the bill in parliament, which he said, clearly goes to show that the government is anti-farmer.


The Chairperson of the Select Committee on Health and Social Services, Ms. Maurencia Gillion, has praised the government for its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Ms. Gillion said the pronouncement on Monday by president Cyril Ramaphosa on the 21-day lockdown will curtail the spread of Covid-19. South Africa has 709 people who have tested positive for the virus to date.
However, Ms. Gillion said with the escalation of Covid-19, the main concern is vulnerable communities and employees, such as farm workers, factory workers in the agricultural sector who are working without the required protection, and local government workers in waste removal.
Despite these concerns, the committee said it welcomes the government’s efforts to ensure that old age pension and other grants will be paid so that those who depend on these grants will not be affected.
Ms. Gillion also said that the government’s response to Covid-19 should ensure that vulnerable and impoverished communities are protected, as people living in these areas find it difficult to self-isolate effectively.

He said that Pakistan is facing both economic and security problems. He added that it was important to daignose a problem correctly to be able to deal with it effectively.
He said that he wonders if the cognizance of the problmes he has gained is shared by other major players in society as well.

He also said that while protests continued in many cities over electricity bills, the same cities also had cases of electricity theft.
Kakar said that the economy was in shambles because non-productive sectors had been incentivised while they contributed nothing to the economy.
He said that narratives were being created in mainstream and digital media that promoted despndency and painted a picture that the Pakistani society was about to collapse.
He added that even the security challenges being faced by pakistan were shown through a distorted lens.
Kakar said that no terrorist organisation had the power to take over Pakistani territory and were limited to hit-and-run and sabotage events only.

KUCHING: The Sarawak government has paid RM350 million to Putrajaya as part of the RM1 billion loan repayment so that dilapidated schools in the state can be repaired but it seems unlikely that the project will commence any time soon.
Sarawak Education, Science and Technological Research Minister Michael Manyin had earlier said the state Public Works Department had suggested that the repair work should start with at least five schools this month.
However, at a press conference today, Manyin said that when he brought up the matter during a meeting with Education Minister Maszlee Malik last week, Maszlee told him they could not proceed until they received a directive from the finance ministry.
Manyin said the state government had already submitted the list of schools, which had been prioritised based on the severity of their condition, to the education ministry.
“The tender is not out because Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has not given the instruction yet,” he said.
Last month, Lim said the federal government was ready to disburse RM350 million to repair and upgrade dilapidated schools in Sarawak as soon as the state government repaid that amount, part of the federal government loan it had taken.
It was also reported that Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen had persuaded Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) to speed up the repayment of the RM350 million so that the repairs for dilapidated schools could commence.
Now that the Sarawak government had paid the money to Putrajaya, Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg had said he hoped the federal government would keep its promise.

It is a highly prestigious and historic project.He explained that the Karnataka people are proud of this project.

Already, there is outrage at the step motherly treatment being given to Karnataka in several spheres by the union government.
He said that the move would have adverse effects on the consolidation of the federal system in the country.

Opposition NAREP youths have announced that they will embark on a nationwide campaign to demand for the release of the new constitution.
NAREP deputy national chairperson Ezra Ngulube has said that it was unfair to the people of Zambia that President Michael Sata had decided to betray them by not delivering the constitution as promised.
Ngulube said the youths that voted for the President Sata and the PF had been betrayed because they had hope that they would have a new constitution and because of this betrayal they would continue to ‘yap’ because it was their right to ‘yap’ for what belonged to them.
He said his party wanted the draft constitution released immediately and that the campaign would be to sensitize Zambians especially in rural areas about the importance of having a new constitution.
“We as NAREP youths are embarking on this campaign and we shall tell the people to continue yapping as the constitution contains the bills of rights and other important pieces of legislation. Because of the present bad constitution that the President is claiming to be fine a lot of money has been spent on needless exercises at the expense of the Zambian tax payer.
“The people that the PF used to get into office like the mini bus drivers have now become criminals as they are being persecuted on a daily basis for various traffic offences. This government is busy talking about road construction, will people eat roads? As it is now the PF leadership is only concentrating on making roads but as a country we need a balanced development programme and these roads are not sustainable,” he said.
The youth leader charged that the PF administration had taken Zambian backwards in terms of development and that as far as the people of this country were concerned they will continue reminding President Sata on the need for a new constitution.
Ngulube said his party during the countrywide tour will tell the people to vote the PF out of power in 2016.

Beefing up its vigil against corruption, the Delhi government has set up a team of officials to monitor corruption in offices under the Delhi administration. The team will report directly to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, said government sources Thursday.
On Thursday, the team — which has been active for a few weeks — brought two cases of corruption to the government’s attention following which a Motor Licence Officer (MLO) at Sheikh Sarai and a sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) at Kapashera have been ‘removed’ from their position, government sources confirmed.
The team has constantly been monitoring various Delhi government offices. According to sources, the team learnt that the MLO was getting kickbacks through juniors officials, who have also been brought under the scanner. The SDM, sources said, had been receiving bribes through lawyers and deed writers at the sub-registrar’s office.

Bulawayo City Councillors have complained over the delayed roads rehabilitation in the wards considering the fact that they were the most potholed areas.
Councillor Charles Moyo raised concern on Ward 9 which had been listed as one of the wards where pothole patching had commenced and yet there was no work in progress.
“It was now over a month since he had submitted names of people who were willing to work,” he said.
He sought clarification on the matter.
Councillor Silas Chigora in response, said that this could have been a genuine mistake that the ward had been indicated as having commenced pothole patching.
He said that the progress might have stalled due to shortage of materials, and this was due to the economic crisis in the country compounded by lack of forex.
He felt that the programme should have started but it had been realised that there were not enough materials.
Councillor M. V. Chunga said that this could have been a mistake but there was need to communicate and put the record straight because the residents might think that there was indeed something going on.


(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Malacanang slammed the Human Rights Watch (HRW) for accusing the Rodrigo Duterte administration of not making any 'genuine efforts to hold accountable those responsible for alleged abuses in the government's war against illegal drugs.
In a statement yesterday, Palace Spokesman Harry Roque said the HRW has 'refused to acknowledge the efforts of the Philippine government to take responsibility for the questionable deaths linked to the anti-drug operations of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
'HRW has a penchant for playing blind, deaf and dumb, refusing to acknowledge the efforts of the administration in addressing alleged abuses of scalawag policemen, Roque said.
'Perhaps this HRW must be reminded that an entire police force in Caloocan was relieved because of alleged abuses, and the PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) was designated to be the lead agency in the government anti-drug operation, he added.
Last week, President Rodrigo Duterte brought back the PNP to the drug war but only in support of PDEA, which would remain the lead agency in the campaign.
The Palace official was responding to a statement by HRW, through International Justice Programme Associate Director Param Preet-Singh, saying that the Philippine government failed to prosecute or convict any policeman who carried out the brutal crackdown against drug personalities.
Singh issued the statement last week, noting that Duterte even committed to reinstate or pardon police officers involved in the killings of thousands of alleged drug suspects during the illegal drug operations.
With this, Roque, a former human rights lawyer, also branded the HRW's claims as 'off track.
'The latest remarks of the Human Rights Watch (HRW) that the Philippine government has not made genuine efforts to seek accountability on alleged abuses in our anti-drug campaign are simply off track, he said.
'Lest we forget, as much as due process governs the cases of alleged victims, the same must likewise be accorded to state agents accused of being perpetrators, he said.
Based on the records of the PNP, some 3,800 alleged drug suspects were killed in the middle of the police's anti-drug operations since Duterte assumed office in July 2016.
But local and international human rights groups claimed to have recorded more than 10,000 deaths from the campaign.

It is time to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict this problem must be solved, and justice for Azerbaijan must be restored, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Erkan Ozoral said on December 23.
He made the remarks at the international symposium 'The future of the region: Geopolitical challenges and perspectives in Baku, APA reports.
Ozoral noted that Azerbaijan has been suffering a great injustice for a long time: 'Armenia occupied Azerbaijani lands, and as a result more than 1 million people became refugees and internally displaced people.
The envoy added that Turkey has always supported and will support the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
Armenia broke out a lengthy war against Azerbaijan laying territorial claims on its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities.

Tunis/Tunisia — The Ennahdha movement denounced on Sunday the defamatory media campaigns and unfair electoral competition based on denigration and pressure on justice.
In a statement issued on Sunday on the occasion of the 8th anniversary of the Revolution, the party pointed out that Tunisians need a political and media discourse that restores their trust in the state, its institutions and the political class and encourages them to follow events on the national scene.
The political achievements made have not obscured the challenges facing the country and the need to work to achieve the socio-economic objectives and development of the revolution, according to the same source.
Ennahdha invokes the imperative to establish social peace and to seek consensual solutions between the government and the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) that meet the workers' demands and take into account the State's financial difficulties.
The movement calls the government to step up efforts to ease social tension through the improvement of the purchasing power and fight against smuggling, speculation and rising prices.
It also calls for a national dialogue on the economic and social situation to lead to efficient solutions likely to achieve economic and social transition, commending the President of the Republic's role to reconcile positions and insist that the next elections will be held on schedule.
The Ennahdha movement also hailed the security and military institutions for their dedication to fighting terrorism, pointing out the need to speed up the process of establishing constitutional authorities, including the Constitutional Court and the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE), and to continue the transitional justice consecration process.
Moreover, Ennahdha reiterates support for the just causes in the world, including first and foremost the right of the Palestinian people to found their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital and the return to stability in Libya, Syria and Yemen.

Napa County residents who have already received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine may have to wait a little longer than anticipated to receive their second shot because the county is running out, according to health officials.
Front-line healthcare workers and people 75 and older will still be prioritized to receive the second dose of vaccine on time, said Dr. Karen Relucio, the county’s public health officer. But others who are eligible for the vaccine may have to wait two more weeks for their second shots.
First-dose clinics have been paused as the county catches up on giving second doses, Relucio said.
“Although it’s amazing that the vaccine is here now, we just don’t have enough of it,” Relucio said. “Supplies are unpredictable. We’re running on thin margins.”

(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Canada's population has increased by more than a million people for the first time in history in 2022, mainly due to a surge in immigration and temporary residents, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.
It is reported that the total population grew by a record 1.05 million people in the past twelve months to January 1, 2023. According to the statistic agency, 96 percent of the rise was due to international migration to Canada.
With 39.57 million populations, Canada remains the fastest-growing G7 country in the world. The 2.7 percent increase rate in the country's total population translates that Canada's population would be doubled in about 26 years, the agency said.
After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took power in 2015, his liberal movement surged immigration to Canada, which has undoubtedly helped its economy and supported an aging population.
Meanwhile, Ottawa has initiated certain schemes to help people move to Canada affected by geopolitical crises, like the Ukraine war, instability in Afghanistan, or the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
Such schemes have been the driving forces behind an unprecedented rise in migration to Canada in the recent past. in 2022, Canada welcomed 437,180 immigrants and the number of non-permanent residents increased by 607,782 people, indicating the highest level on records.
Immigration accounts for almost 100% of Canada's labor force growth and by 2036 immigrants are projected to be about 30% of Canada's population, up from 20.7% in 2011, according to Canada's immigration ministry. Sharefacebook twitter whatsapp linkedin email print tumblr telegram

The fourth round of a seven-hour-long marathon meeting ended between the government and farmers, without much headway on Thursday. After the meeting, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that the government has given assurance to the farmers that MSP will continue and the fifth round of meeting will take place on Saturday.
The marathon meeting was not without its moments when the farmers refused to eat food provided by the government and instead their own food from the langar was brought in an ambulance inside the Vigyan Bhawan where the meeting was taking place.
Farmers’ unions stuck to their demand that the farm laws should be repealed and there is no getting away from that. After the meeting, Harjinder Singh Tanda of the Azaad Kisan Sangarsh Committee said that talks have made little progress. In the first half, it seemed that today’s meeting will yield no result, but in the second half it seemed that there was pressure from the farmers’ agitation on the government. He further added that the government will have to take back the law and he is hopeful that “it will be finalised in the meeting day after tomorrow”.
Baldev Singh Sirsa, a farmer leader, said: “We have told the government that we don’t want amendments, but withdrawal of laws. We demanded that MSP be implemented and law should be made for it.” After the meeting, the Sanyukt Kisan Morch issued a press release and said that the farmers pointed to all the lacunae in the three farm laws and the government had no answer to this.
After the meeting, Union minister Tomar said that the government has no ego and it is discussing all the issues with the farmers with an open mind. Farmers are concerned that the new laws will end APMCs. “We will contemplate and ensure that the APMCs are further strengthened. It was also raised in the meeting that if trade takes place outside the purview of mandis, it will be done on the basis of a PAN card which anyone can get. So, we will ensure that the trader gets registered. The government will also consider their demand that farmers should be allowed to go to the court as they feel that SDM is a lower court.’ Tomar also added that the farmers also expressed their concerns over an Ordinance on stubble burning and the Act on electricity. The government is open to consider and discuss this as well, he said.
Farmer leaders have said that they will hold a meeting on Friday at 11am in which discussion will take place on the road ahead. The fifth round of meeting between the government and the farmers will be on Saturday.

The Kaduna State Government has temporarily relaxed the restriction of movement which was imposed throughout the state to check the spread of COVID-19.
The Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, who announced this in a statewide broadcast on Wednesday, said the curfew will be eased from 3:00pm on Wednesday to 12 midnight on Thursday.
She said the decision to relax the curfew “is to enable people to stock up on food and other essentials’’.
‘’Subsequently, the restriction of movement will be lifted every Tuesday and Wednesday. Traders in food and other essentials will open their shops on these two days,” she said.
She apologised for the inconvenience that the restriction of movement has caused, stressing that the decision was taken because of the extraordinary times which was brought about by COVID-19.
The deputy governor appealed to the people of the state to ensure the observance of social distancing, avoid crowded places and to wash their hands regularly.
The state government had on Thursday last week imposed a 24-hour curfew to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Residents of the state had been groaning under serious difficulties as a result of the shortage of food items and essential commodities following the curfew.
There had been agitation by members of the public for the curfew to be relaxed.


A proposal to move the vote on extending the state of emergency and expanding the power of the government to Tuesday has been rejected by the Parliament, according to a report by news site Index.hu.
Scheduling a vote on the bill requires a deviation from house rules, which needs the support of at least four-fifths of MPs, however the opposition parties earlier announced being against both the deviation and the bill itself.
Some 137 MPs voted in favor, while 52 voted against the motion.
Now, a vote on the bill is expected to take place next Tuesday. It will only require a two-thirds majority, which the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition possesses, to pass.


ZUMA URGES FORGIVENESS
ANC president Jacob Zuma celebrated his birthday by preaching forgiveness and reconciliation to more than 30000 congregants of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) on Easter Sunday at Zuurbekom on the West Rand.
Zuma said he felt spiritually blessed to share his 67th birthday with the IPHC and its leader Glayton Modise.
Zuma said that forgiveness and reconciliation were important in building society.
"This nation was founded on reconciliation in 1994. Dwelling on the past will not solve anything," he said.
He said the ANC did not demand retribution for the systematic killings of people and brutal executions of ANC cadres.
He told the congregation that the ANC remained the only party in the country that can unite society in building the country.
Zuma said he was proud of government institutions and that society needed to support these institutions because they were bulwarks against the abuse of power.
"We have built democratic institutions that serve the interests and safeguard the rights of all South Africans," Zuma said.
Referring to his case that was withdrawn last week by the National Prosecuting Authority, he said recent events had shown the capacity of the institutions to effectively perform their constitutional mandate in the face of heated political and legal disputes.
The church's spokesperson, Oupa Mosalakae, said the church has always had a relationship with the ANC since the era of Nelson Mandela.
"As an institution we are comfortable with the ANC-led government, but our members can vote for whoever they want to. Their vote is their secret," he said.
He said every political party was welcome at the church but had to follow procedure before showing up at its gatherings.
"Cope did not follow procedure last year, they gate-crashed," he said.
