This Tuesday, the New Zealand government declared a national state of emergency across the North Island, which has been battered by Cyclone Gabrielle. Many in Auckland were still cleaning up from flooding over recent weeks, and now these same communities have been affected by the latest storm. Across the country thousands of properties have been damaged and hundreds of people have been evacuated from their homes. The devastation across the North Island is extensive, and the full impact of the Cyclone is still unfolding.
Response efforts are continuing across the North Island as volunteers and professional alike help to protect people and property and provide relief to those in need. The task of cleaning up is just beginning and many churches and community groups have been providing practical support to those affected.
Churches and individuals have provided financial assistance and practical support to help those affected. It has been encouraging to hear of the work being done by churches and community groups who have stepped up to provide temporary shelters and food for those in need. Churches have opened their doors to provide a place for people to stay and have also been distributing food and other supplies to those who have been left homeless by the storm. Many have lost everything and face uncertainty about what will happen next.

(MENAFN) Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto has said that Russia may have been suspect for the public burning of Korans in Stockholm, Sweden last week. He also said that the stunt might have been arranged to disrupt the nation’s attempt to become a member of NATO.
On January 21, Rasmus Paludan, an anti-Islam protestor and head of a minor Danish far-right party, Stram Kurs (Hard Line), burned the Muslim holy book outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm. Ankara strongly remonstrated the action, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stating on Monday that Sweden might no longer depend on Türkiye’s support for its entry to NATO.
On Friday, Paludan set copies of the Koran on fire in front of a mosque, the Turkish Embassy, and the Russian Consulate in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Talking to Finnish TV channel Yle on Saturday, Haavisto suggested the idea that Russia might be behind this action. “This matter is under investigation. Various ties in the activist’s circle have been uncovered,” Haavisto added. “I cannot say with certainty … But we have been shown a concept of how to act in order to inflict maximum damage [to the NATO membership bid].”

The government has identified 2,175 villages to be connected to telecommunication services through the Universal Communications Access Fund (UCAF), Communications, Science and Technology Deputy Minister January Mkamba told the National Assembly here yesterday
He was responding to a basic question by Faith Mitambo (Liwale, CCM) who wanted to know when the government will install the planned nine communication towers in Liwale district.
He said that the government through UCAF announced tenders for the earlier projects which would help the government to get correct information on the cost of connecting various areas to the service.
He said unfortunately the tender was not successful because the bidder demanded more money than the amount set aside for the tender.
Makamba who is also Bumbuli Member of Parliament said currently the government is reviewing the entire system of connecting various areas in the country to telecommunication services to speed up the exercise.
“We have identified 2,175 villages which lack the service. In four weeks to come we will know the cost of connecting each village,” he said.
He said the government has secured 45bn/- from the World Bank for implementing the programme.
Makamba said the funds are not sufficient, but that the government will raise money to support the programme.
“We are going to open tenders in September this year and if everything goes well many communication towers will be installed in various areas which lack communication including areas in Liwale District,” he said.
In another basic question a Member of Parliament for Kilombero Abdul Mteketa (CCM) had wanted to know when areas of Msagati and Uchilinde Kimboni will be connected to communication services.
Responding Makamba said that the areas were difficult for telecommunication companies to install towers but that UCAF would subsidise the companies so that they can reach the areas.
He said the government had commissioned a consultant to go to the areas which have no communications to assess implementation of the programme.


By Nosa Akenzua, Asaba
Delta state government has waded into Sapele market crisis and urged stakeholders to honour the council management resolution which warned against fetish and lawless activities.
Sapele ultramodern market had been engulfed in crisis of confidence and its related activities in the past one year while efforts to resolve the situation had been unsuccessful following the alleged fetish and lawless measures to press home their grievances by the stakeholders.
But the state government through the Special Adviser on Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, Chief Edwin Uzor at a media Conference in Asaba on Tuesday, said that the state government had invested much in ensuring that peace prevailed for sustainable development, adding that it was the only way development can be meaningful.
According to him,’” Sapele Traders Association had earlier written a Petition to the Governor Dr Ifeanyi Okowa over the issue of store allocation in the market and some Persons took the shops and resold them at exorbitant prices as against the N3,000 fee approved rent by the government which irritated the Council and as mediators what we have done today is to ensure peaceful coexistence and we have advised both parties involved in the revocation done by the council should stand pending when we go to the market to be able to ascertain the claims made that some persons are re renting out the shops at exorbitant prices.”
He, however, appealed to the petitioner to give peace a chance by allowing the decision of the council authorities to stand and all parties to be involved in peaceful coexistence, and warned that the state government would deal decisively with anyone causing trouble at the market.
In his remarks, Sapele Council Chairman, Eugene Inoaghan said that the market was handed over to the Council by the state Governor Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, stressing that he was surprised when he discovered that the stores were not being put into proper use because the traders could not afford the cost.
He said:”when the market was built, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa did say that it was built for the masses, and not for somebody to procure the shops to resell at higher rates, but I am surprised that some Persons are taking laws into their hands and are doing the wrong things contrary to what the Governor said.”

When tech stocks fail, it’s time to step up
Tech stocks have been suffering a lot this year, but that doesn’t mean that the tech industry’s fortunes are bad.
In fact, a recent report by a financial-technology firm called Speco Technology found that the industry’s stock market performance has been stronger than it has in the past few years.
Speco, which was founded in 2004 and now counts among its customers Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Yahoo!, said that tech stocks had been “slightly underperforming” in the prior six months due to the fact that a number of these companies were unable to grow fast enough to support the market.
However, Speco said that the “resilience of the market” has since increased.
The tech industry is facing a number different challenges in the coming years, including the emergence of new services and an aging workforce.
Specs, for example, has been losing money as its market cap has shrunk in recent years.
Additionally, many companies are being acquired by companies with more resources, like Facebook, Google, and Apple.
But the biggest challenge to the tech sector right now is the growing importance of the internet.
In addition to its own social media presence, Speciate also has a massive presence on the Internet, which is why it is a great place for companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft to reach out to consumers.
This growth in the role of the Internet has also created a market opportunity for tech companies to compete against each other, and the technology industry is poised to make up a lot of the growth.
But there is still a long way to go for the tech market to truly recover.

Ukraine requests Turkey to detain Russian-flagged cargo ship
(MENAFN) According to a Ukrainian official and a letter seen by Reuters, Ukraine has asked Turkey to hold the Russian-flagged cargo ship Zhibek Zholy, which is transporting grain confiscated from the Russian-occupied port of Berdyansk.
According to a Ukrainian foreign ministry source citing information from the country's marine administration, the Zhibek Zholy loaded the first cargo of around 4,500 tons of grain from Berdyansk, which the official claimed belonged to Ukraine.
Ukraine's prosecutor general's office separately stated in a letter dated June 30 to Turkey's justice ministry that the Zhibek Zholy was involved in the "illegal export of Ukrainian grain" from Berdyansk and was headed to Karasu, Turkey, with 7,000 tons of cargo - a larger cargo than cited by the official.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on the arrival of the Zhibek Zholy.
The Kazakh-based KTZ Express confirmed ownership of the Zhibek Zholy, but stated it was taken on a bareboat charter by the Russian business Green Line, which was not sanctioned.
KTZ Express also stated that it was talking with all parties concerned and that it would comply with any fines and limitations.

Former head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, yesterday said that insecurity in the northern part of Nigeria is gradually destroying the economy of the region and therefore, urged those who have grievances against the government to embrace dialogue and give peace a chance.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Swedish authorities announced today that they will summon the Russian Ambassador following his statements in which he threatened Sweden by saying that it would become a "legitimate target" once it joins the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato).
Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom said in a statement that the Foreign Ministry will summon the Russian Ambassador to clearly denounce his remarks, which are totally unacceptable and prejudicial to Sweden's sovereignty.
The Russian Ambassador in Stockholm Viktor Tatarintsev reaffirmed in a text published on the website of his country's mission in Sweden, that after Finland and Sweden join NATO, the total length of the borders between Russia and NATO will increase by almost double, warning that if some parties still think that this will somehow improve the security of Europe, let them be sure that the hostile bloc's new members will become a legitimate target for Russian reprisals, including those of a military nature.
Sweden and Finland signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with Turkiye last June regarding their accession to Nato, after they pledged to respond to Ankara's demands regarding cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
All Nato members must approve accession requests, whilst Finland's request is still subject to the approval of Turkiye and Hungary.

The recent killings in Nasarawa State between the police and the traditionalists of the Ombatse group appears yet unresolved as the top police boss in the country, M. D. Abubakar along with the Governor of the State, Malam Al Makura made failed attempts at calming the fast rising tensions within the communities and the protesting police widows who had pointed blame at the Governor.
Information available to 247ureports.com through a source within the traditionalists of Ombatse indicates that the elders of the group will be making a formal appearance before the press to make official their stance to the general public – on the killings of police officers and the killings of their community members by the police.
The decision to address the press came following a visit yesterday by the police top boss – where he made the pledge to fish out the people responsible for the killing of the Nigerian police officers. He also revealed that the Ombatse people were still holding four police officers alive as hostages – and that the police force is determined and is working to set the four hostages free. He also assured the protesting police widow of security and succor.


NASA warns of ice shelf disappearing in Antarctica
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) One of the last remaining sections of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf is dramatically weakening, according to a new NASA study.
The study predicts that what remains of the once-prominent ice shelf, a thick floating platform of ice, most likely will "disintegrate completely" before the end of this decade.
Ice shelves are extensions of glaciers and function as barriers. Their disappearance means glaciers potentially will diminish more quickly, as well, increasing the pace at which global sea levels rise.
The collapse of the Larsen B Ice Shelf seems to have been caused by a series of warm summers on the Antarctic Peninsula, which happen during what in the Northern Hemisphere are winter months. Those trends built up to a particularly warm summer in 2002, according to NASA.

Former advisor to Ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, has suggested that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, like late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, must openly recognise that Nigeria’s electoral process has to be fixed.
Recall that the late Yar’Adua conceded that the 2007 election that elected him was flawed.
Akande also stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should do more to rebuild public trust.
The Labour Party and its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi had alleged that INEC failed to timeously transmit election results as promised.
But the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal ruled that the commission was not compelled by the Electoral Act to transmit results electronically.
Commenting on the issue on Channels TV, Akande emphasised the need for electoral reforms.
He said, “We have seen in this election that we were promised that we would have the report (results) on the IREV although the law didn’t say so.
“So (that is) why INEC has been able to explain to the justices and said that look we are not compelled by the law to transmit the results.
“So INEC still has the work to do to try and rebuild the trust and they ought to be at the fore front of pushing of reform.
“The president himself at the end of the day ought to also come out just like President Yar’Adua did to say that look I understand that we have to fix the electoral process and I think a lot of what we should do at the end of the day is to come back and look at the reforms.”

'BJP on victory move from Karnataka to Kashmir'
JAMMU: Claiming that the party was on a victory move from Karnataka to Kashmir in the country, BJP on Saturday urged its youth wing to address the major problems confronting the nation.
"The country is beset with major problems like terrorism, price rise and farmer suicides and BJP especially its youth has to play the major role in addressing these burning issues," said BJP national general secretary Anant Kumar, addressing the first session of a two-day national executive council of Bhartiya Yuva Morcha (BJYM) here.
Accusing Congress-led UPA government of failing to tackle the issues, he said this was one of the reasons that people rejected Congress party in the recent polls.
He said that the bugle has already been sounded and in another three to six months people were likely to witness more changes on political scene from Kashmir to other parts of India with victory for BJP.
Referring to Jammu and Kashmir, Kumar said that very wrong signals were going across with People's Democratic Party (PDP), the junior partner in the coalition government,pleading for using Pakistani currency in the state, while its another major partner (congress) was helplessly watching the situation.
Stating Jammu and Kashmir as an integral part of India, Kumar said that the steps need to be taken to ensure that Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) becomes part of this state.
Party President Rajnath Singh, former Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Shanta Kumar and BJP national secretary Smriti Irani were also scheduled to address the session.a

Islamabad, May 24 (IANS) Slamming former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan over his planned long march to Islamabad on Wednesday, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif said that the people of the country cannot be left at the 'mercy of a group of miscreants'.
'The people cannot be left at the mercy of a group of miscreants who have already brought unimaginable poverty, inflation, and unemployment on them,' Sharif said in a tweet after attending a PML-N meet virtually.
The meet, chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, was held in Lahore with Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah also in attendance, Geo News reported.
Nawaz, who was elected as the country's Prime Minister three times, said that the country 'cannot reach its true destination without countering these elements'.
'We have to stop these miscreants as a nation,' he stated.
In the meeting, the PML-N supremo approved the party's unanimous decision to not leave the government immediately.
According to sources, the two Sharif brothers also discussed the ongoing talks between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Pakistan.

Renault has scrapped plans to revitalise the sporty Alpine brand, chief operating officer Patrick Pelata has told Autocar.
"It's a casualty of the [economic] crisis," said Pelata, hinting that the decision to not bring Alpine back was permanent.
Plans for the rear-wheel-drive sports car were thought to have been well advanced. It was said to have shared a platform with a new Nissan 200SX, which is also believed to have been scrapped.
Pelata also admitted that the current recession also means that Renault has shelved plans to move production to Chenai in India.
The next Nissan Micra will be made there and the new Clio, expected next year, was thought to be joining it. However, Pelata did not rule out Renaults being built in India in the future.


Opposition has strongly criticized the government for sacking Pakistan Steel Mills employees and going back on its promise to not privatize the entity on Friday.
PML-N’s Senator Mushahidullah said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had said in the past that he would demonstrate to everyone how the steel mills can be properly run.
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Senator Siraj ul Haq criticised the government and questioned how it could sack employees of the steel mills when it had promised to provide one million jobs to the people.
Federal Minister of Industries and Production Hammad Azhar said that the Pakistan Steel Mills couldn’t be revived or privatized during the PPP and the PML-N’s tenures. He said that Rs35bn had been paid during the past five years from the taxpayers’ pockets to the steel mills employees.
Earlier, terming the Pakistan Steel Mills as a “white elephant”, Azhar had said that the government had decided to privatize it as it had become a burden on the national exchequer.
He had said that the PSM employees had not been working for the last many years and now they would get a financial package of around Rs2.3 million per employee as compensation. Besides, he said, employees could also contribute to productivity in the private sector.
Azhar said that the PSM turned from a profit-making institution to one that was running in losses in the 2008-09 tenure of the PPP government and its operational works were shut down during the PML-N government.
The minister had further said that with this decision, the government would save Rs700 million of the people’s hard-earned taxes a month. He said that the Supreme Court also wondered why the government was paying the workers of a closed mill.

NC President Deuba also urged developed countries who have pre-booked COV- ID-19 vaccines with drug companies to provide Nepal the vaccines from their booked quantity.
Meanwhile, CPN-Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal also issued a press release stating that the government was busy inaugurating and laying the foundation stones of new projects instead of strengthening the health system and tackling the COV- ID-19 crisis.

Dahal urged the government and the private sector to provide relief to the poor who bear the brunt of the pandemic the most.

The Indian government on Thursday said that the COVID-19 infection in the country was slowing down to ‘flatten the curve’ adding that the spread of coronavirus was losing its steam during the nationwide lockdown. The announcement by senior functionaries from the Indian government and the Indian Council of Medical Research(ICMR) said that the situation on the coronavirus spread had been ‘currently stable’ and the growth of the deadly virus was more or less linear and not exponential.
ICMR Director-General Dr. Balram Bhargava said in the daily press briefing that the situation was ‘currently going stable.’ He added, “You can even say that we have been able to flatten the curve. However, it is difficult to say if the peak will come.”
India is currently going through a nationwide lockdown, which is expected to end on 3 May. The 40-day lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in two stages after he extended the 21-day lockdown by another 19 days on 15 April.
The government also said that while the testing had increased 24-fold, the percentage of positive cases was not rising in a similar proportion.
The total number of COVID-19 deaths in India reached 686 on Thursday.
