The southwestern Swiss canton of Valais has become the first to pay producers to film its landscapes and villages.

Valais is ready to pay up to CHF100,000 ($104,000) per project, Swiss public broadcaster RTS reports on Friday. The Valais Film Commission has set aside CHF1.9 million over four years to be featured in films. Two-thirds of the budget is financed by the canton and the rest by the federal government.
Valais Film Commission head Tristan Albrecht told RTS that it was a good investment.“We already estimate a ratio of 1 to 3 between what we give to the production and the direct economic benefits in terms of accommodation, catering and equipment rental in a given region,' he said, pointing to the findings of a study. 'Then there are the indirect spin-offs in terms of image when the film is released.'
Such spin-offs are often cited by public authorities that fund productions, says RTS. For example, one in five tourists still travels to New Zealand because of The Lord of the Rings, while Indian films shot in Switzerland have boosted the number of Indian tourists to the Alpine country.

(MENAFN) Iceland is on high alert as authorities issue warnings of a looming volcanic eruption, with fears escalating due to ongoing seismic activity in an area near the coastal town of Grindavik. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) has raised concerns, indicating that a major eruption could happen with as little as 30 minutes' notice. The situation has prompted evacuations, with approximately 4,000 residents forced to leave Grindavik earlier this month.
Recent seismic data has led scientists to believe that the eruption is imminent, but there is a shift in the anticipated location. While initial concerns centered around the possibility of molten lava bursting directly from a magma tunnel under Grindavik, the IMO now suggests that the eruption is more likely to occur between Sylingarfell, situated a few miles north of Grindavik, and Hagafell, further to the northeast.
The IMO's latest assessment, released on Wednesday, indicates that the probability of a sudden eruption within the town limits of Grindavik has been decreasing. They speculate that the magma in the tunnel beneath Grindavik may be partially solidified, reducing the likelihood of an abrupt breakthrough to the surface within the town limits.
However, scientists caution that the diminishing frequency of earthquakes in the area might indicate that magma is nearing the Earth's surface, heightening the potential for an eruption. Despite the challenges posed by stormy weather and strong waves, which have hindered efforts to closely monitor seismic activity, the IMO reported about 100 earthquakes between midnight and 6 p.m. on Wednesday. This represents a notable decrease from the thousands of daily tremors recorded earlier this month.
As Iceland remains on edge, the evolving situation raises questions about the accuracy of eruption predictions, the effectiveness of evacuation measures, and the broader implications for the safety and preparedness of communities in volcanic-prone regions. Authorities are closely monitoring developments and preparing for any scenario as the nation faces the looming threat of a volcanic eruption.

The Swiss health authorities have called on people over the age of 80 to update their vaccination against the Covid-19 virus.
This content was published on July 5, 2022 - 17:19 July 5, 2022 - 17:19 swissinfo.ch/urs
A government advisory commission and the Federal Office of Public HealthExternal link issued a recommendation also urging people with a weakened immune system to have a further booster jab.
They added that the vaccination recommendation will be extended in autumn to cover the entire population.
Christoph Berger, president of the Federal Vaccination Commission told a news conference on Tuesday that the aim was to provide the booster vaccination at the right moment.
He said it made no sense to vaccinate people in August to protect them from a fresh wave of infections in December.
Céline Gardiol of the health office said the situation in Switzerland was under control, despite a steady rise in new infections. The number of people of Covid patients and deaths caused by the virus remained at a low level, she is quoted as saying.
The health office on Tuesday reported 46,025 confirmed new cases of Covid over the past seven days.
This is up from just over 33,100 cases – an increase of 39% - a week ago.
About 70% of the Swiss population have been fully vaccinated against the virus. Some 44% have also had a booster jab.
Gardiol said most people in Switzerland were still well protected against Covid as a result of a booster vaccination or because they recovered from an infection.

(MENAFN) On Friday, tech billionaire Elon Musk continued to face criticism for a third consecutive day from Jewish leaders, the White House, and major media advertisers, including Disney and Apple. This follows his endorsement earlier in the week of an antisemitic conspiracy theory, marking the latest instance in a longstanding pattern of echoing anti-Jewish bigotry that spans several years.
Musk triggered the backlash with a concise six-word statement he shared on Wednesday afternoon via X, the social media app he acquired a year ago. In response to another user who had accused Jews of harboring animosity towards white people and displayed apathy towards antisemitism, Musk wrote: “You have said the actual truth.”
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, continued his commentary after the initial tweet, directing criticism towards the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization established by Jews to combat antisemitism. Musk's ongoing feud with the ADL, spanning several months, revolves around the organization's initiatives to curb extremism on social media—a campaign Musk claims has adversely impacted ad sales on X.
On Thursday morning, Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the ADL, expressed concern, stating that Musk's actions were posing a danger.
“At a time when antisemitism is exploding in America and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one’s influence to validate and promote antisemitic theories,” he said in a post on X platform, with a photo of Musk’s tweet.
On Friday, as the criticism persisted, the White House joined in condemning Elon Musk's actions, stating that he had endorsed "antisemitic and racist hate," which runs counter to "our core values as Americans."

Washington, Aug 8 (IANS) The fourth set of human remains were found in Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in US where the water level has dropped to unprecedented lows amid a 22-year drought, authorities said.
Park Rangers responded to a call about the discovery of the remains at Swim Beach at Lake Mead National Recreation Area on Saturday, the National Park Service said on Sunday.
They were assisted in their investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department dive team, reports dpa news agency.
The skeletal remains are the second set to be found at Swim Beach.
Authorities provided no additional information about the discovery. A spokesperson with the Clark County Office of the Coroner-Medical Examiner could not be reached for comment.
This is the fourth time since May that human remains have been discovered in the lake that provides water to 25 million people and millions of acres of farmland in several states in the Southwest, including California.
The first set of skeletal remains was found in May in a barrel and likely belonged to a gunshot victim killed in the 1970s or 1980s, officials said.
About a week later, another set of remains was found at Callville Bay.
A third set was recovered last month at the lake's Swim Beach.
Authorities believe the region's extreme drought and Lake Mead's dropping water levels will lead them to discover more remains.
None of the remains discovered have been identified.
In addition to human remains, the receding waters have revealed watercraft, including a World War II-era boat that had been put into service at the lake before sinking.

(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
ABU DHABI, 20th July, 2017 (WAM) -- With the conflict in Yemen showing no signs of abating, close to 14 million people in the war-ravaged country are in desperate need of food and supplies. In an editorial published today, a local English language daily says that to make matters worse, the Arab country is witnessing one of the worst cholera epidemics in the world.
The Gulf News went on to say that in the interim, the Iranian-backed Al Houthis, who overran Sana'a in an alliance with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh's forces, have begun to face difficulty in the battlefield. "Latest reports suggest that the frustrated Iranian-backed militias have resorted to disrupting educational facilities with the aim of achieving their control and governance. Efforts have been made to change curricula in Yemen schools to push pro-Iran agenda.
"Already in a severe grip of cholera, which has affected more than 300,000 people since April this year, Yemen appears on the brink. Nearly 5,000 new cases of cholera are reported across the country every day with children making up 40 per cent of the cases. It is a shame that a bacterial infection that can be treated by using oral rehydration solution and vaccination has been allowed to spiral out of control. Yemen needs immediate mobilisation of funds to cover its acute humanitarian needs and stem the epidemic."
The Dubai-based newspaper said that the United Nations must take an active role to prevent the condition in Yemen from deteriorating any further. "The world body must back the internationally-recognised government of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and lean much more heavily and effectively against Al Houthis in order to end the sufferings of Yemenis. Al Houthis must be pressurised to end hostilities and resume peace talks. With rifts between pro-Saleh loyalists and Al Houthis wide open, it is also time for forces loyal to the legitimate government to make a more concerted push towards a military breakthrough."

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) AFP
Colombo: The International Monetary Fund began a review on Thursday of Sri Lanka's bailout programme launched after its worst economic crisis, with Colombo officials hopeful of securing a desperately needed $330 million more in funding.
Last year's economic crash sparked dire food, fuel and medicine shortages, as well as months of civil unrest that eventually toppled then-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The financial agency is reviewing the $2.9 billion four-year bailout programme granted in March.
Sri Lanka's finance minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya said he was "very hopeful of getting the second tranche of $330 million" from the IMF.
Colombo is still in discussion with its private creditors to restructure Sri Lanka's international sovereign bonds. Talks are also underway with bilateral lenders.
China, which accounts for over 50 percent of the island's bilateral debt, has not made its position on debt restructuring known, but has agreed to support Colombo. Read Also

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt)
Italian Eni will start commercial production of the 14th well in the Mediterranean's Zohr gas field next week, bringing the total production capacity of the project to about 2.3bn cubic feet per day (scf/day).
Eni had completed the implementation of the Zohr deep-water development ahead of schedule, which contributed to increasing gas reserves locally, surpassing market needs, a source at the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) told Daily News Egypt.
The gas consumption of the electricity sector represents 61% of the total consumption in Egypt, while other sectors, including industry, household, fuel, and others, get 39%.
The source added that the production of the field was reduced to about 2.5bn scf/day, due to low consumption and export.
He pointed out that the Ministry of Petroleum meets the full needs of electricity, factories, cars, and homes of natural gas, so it does not need more gas quantities in the current period, in light of the decline in gas consumption of power stations by about 1.2bn scf/day.
The source pointed out that the average production of each well in Zohr field ranges between 150-250m scf/day.
About 58% of gas production in Egypt is obtained from deep-water fields in the Mediterranean, equivalent to about 4bn scf/day in the past fiscal year (FY) 2018/19.
He said that the concession areas of natural gas in the Delta account for 20% of production locally, equivalent of 1.38bn scf/day, according to reports of production rates in FY 2018/19.
The production capacity of the gas fields in the concession areas of the Western Sahara was 1.38bn scf/ day, equivalent to 20% of the total domestic production.
The source added that 2% of Egyptian gas production is obtained from the fields of the Gulf of Suez, Sinai, and the Eastern Desert.

Doha: Hamad Medical Corporation's (HMC) Clinical Imaging Service has turned to entertainment technology to help patients undergoing MRI examinations overcome their anxiety and fear of the narrowness of the MRI device or the duration of the examination.
The new technology will help ensure MRI procedures are performed with ease and reduce the number of patients choosing to undergo MRI examinations under anaesthesia.
Mashael Al Ajeel, Assistant Executive Director of Clinical Imaging Services at HMC said this technology is an innovative solution to introduce entertainment into medical procedures and is considered the latest in the region.
Al Ajeel said that the new technology uses a screen integrated into the MRI machine to enable the patient to watch their favourite programme or listen to music during the examination.“They can use special headphones to reduce the noise of the device and at the same time allow the patient to clearly receive instructions from the MRI technician during the examination.
“Using the latest technological solutions and providing them to our patients has always been a priority for us as we continuously strive to improve their experience during MRI by introducing entertainment during the procedure. This technology is the latest of its kind in the region,” added Al Ajeel.
Asmaa Al Hadhrami, Operations Manager of MRI at HMC, said the new entertainment technology has been introduced into MRI devices at HMC's Ambulatory Care Center, Al Wakra Hospital, and Al Khor Hospital.
“The new technology aims to increase patients' feelings of psychological comfort while they are inside the MRI machine as it creates a sense of spaciousness,” she said.“This technology will also reduce the number of patients resorting to general anesthesia to perform the examination and will reduce the risk of procedure cancellation or no-show cases.”

(MENAFN) In reaction to Moscow’s military campaign in neighboring Ukraine, which began in late February, only a tiny fraction of German and Japanese companies apparently intend to completely suspend their activities in Russia.
Only 4% of the 1,050 member companies surveyed who had previously worked in the sanctioned country expressed a desire to leave, according to the most recent data released on Sunday by the Russian and German Chamber of Commerce.
The business lobby said “the others plan to either continue operating in the market without any changes, or partially abandon new projects or change their structure.”
Less than 3% of Japanese companies said they intended to leave Russia following events in Ukraine, according to a Kyodo News article published earlier today.
According to a study by Teikoku Databank, published by the media, a significant number of Japanese companies were reluctant to exit the Russian market, with many simply halting operations in hopes of returning in the future.

(MENAFN) According to a recent report by The Telegraph, officials in Brussels are considering imposing trade restrictions on certain Central Asian countries due to suspicions that they are aiding Russia in circumventing Western sanctions related to its military activities in Ukraine. The report cites a confidential paper, which alleges that officials monitoring trade flows to Moscow have observed an increase of up to 80% in consumer goods turnover between European Union member states and Central Asian countries.
This increase is reportedly linked to the export of goods from the European Union containing "dual-use" technologies, which can be utilized for both military and civilian purposes. Such items include washing machines, used cars, and cameras, all of which are among the European Union's prohibited items for export to Russia. The bloc has threatened to restrict market access for Central Asian nations that maintain ties with Russia if evidence is found that they are re-exporting goods to the sanction-hit country.
This development has significant implications for the European Union's ongoing efforts to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine. While the bloc has already imposed sanctions on Russia, the alleged assistance from Central Asian countries could undermine these efforts and prolong the conflict. As such, the European Union is likely to take a tough stance on any country found to be assisting Russia in circumventing sanctions. This could lead to increased tensions between the European Union and Russia, as well as between the European Union and Central Asian nations.

(MENAFN - Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY, Jan 30, (KUNA): Kuwait government has been carrying out a multi-faceted plan for four years now to address budget deficit and diversifying national income, against the backdrop of low oil prices. Drop in oil prices since mid-2014 created a critical economic and financial reality, which aroused serious questions about post-oil income and sectors that could be a source of national income.
The government, in a bid to tackle financial challenges, issued international bonds worth $8 billion last March. This issue was coupled by domestic treasury bonds which increased overall bonds issue to KD 13.3 billion ($44.2 billion) in 2017, against $32.5 billion the year before. The 2016-17 budget suffered around $29.5 billion defi- cit, and Finance Ministry put the 2017-18 deficit at $21.6 billion.
The Finance and Economy Committee at the National Assembly approved, beginning of this year, a bill that allowed the government to raise debt ceiling to KD 25 billion ($83 billion) and extended lending period to 30 years. Kuwait also started financial and economic reforms, aimed at boosting role of private sector in development, diversifying income, increasing non-oil revenues, cut public spending and improving government performance.
The government is pushing for a solid partnership with the private sector (PPP) to achieve economic and financial sustainability. There were, however, some positive signs despite the tough economic and financial conditions. Kuwait stock exchange was classified by the FTSE Russel last year as one of the promising markets.
The PPP was fruitful via the operation of Zour power station. Kuwait also attracted international technology companies to work in the country. Kuwait development plans specified the promising economic sectors to diversify income, including logistics, financial services, tourism, industry, petrochemicals, exports and re-exports, said Dr Khaled Mahdi, Secretary General of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development.
Speaking to KUNA, Mahdi said the financial sector has great burden to diversify the economy, while services needed knowledge-based economic tools in addition to the small and medium-size enterprizes. Mahdi said diversifying income relied on a major element, talented human resources.
The youth in Kuwait are talented by nature and have 'excellent minds and sophisticated tools coping with the fourth industrial revolution,' said Mahdi, which enabled them to have a commercial state of mind. Dr Abdulaziz Al-Turki, an expert in administration, planning and development, said people with bright ideas were transforming their ideas into profits and capitals. Speaking to KUNA, Al-Turki said creativity and the creative people 'are our genuine wealth and our human capital … They are the pillars of sustainable development and key to production and economic diversification.' He called for appointing those talented youth into managerial positions and to consult them during the planning phase, in order to benefit from their creativities to the development of curricula and improving environment work. Abdullah Al-Ajmi, CEO of K-Net automated financial services company, said financial services have a major role in diversifying income. He said Kuwaiti youth excelled in ecommerce in recent years, and many of them expanded their businesses to the Gulf and internationally.

Union Budget fails to address challenges faced by Tea Industry
Kolkata, Feb 3 (KNN) The Tea industry are disappointed with the Union Budget 2023-24 as the central government has failed to address the major challenges faced by the sector.
Expressing his disappointment, Darjeeling Tea Association (DTA)'s principal advisor S. Mukherjee said that the tea sector was probably the only industrial segment which was not spared even a word as regards to any industry stimulation package or subsidy.
He pointed out that even the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Commerce & Industry for a one-time package for the revival of the tea sector in Darjeeling were ignored.
“ The long standing demand of the planters, especially those from the Darjeeling, Terai and Dooars region regarding the hike in the import duty on tea from Nepal was also neglected,” Director (operations & plantations) of Chamong Tea, Indranil Ghosh said.
Ghosh pointed out that a number of bought-leaf factories are importing tea from Nepal and selling them in the market. This is possible because the production cost of tea in Nepal is one-third of that in India.
However, this issue was not at all addressed in the Budget speech on Wednesday,” said Ghosh.
According to veteran tea industry observer Nandini Goswami, another long-standing demand from the sector was that the Union government should implement an effective police mechanism to restrict circulation of spurious Darjeeling tea in the market.
“However, to my surprise the Budget speech was totally silent on this issue,” she said.
She also pointed out the ultimate effect of the ailing nature of the Indian tea sector on the plantation workers, especially those associated with the smaller tea gardens.
Goswami highlighted that the Tea industry for a long time has been pushing for agricultural farmer's status for small planters and agricultural workers for the workers employed in smaller tea gardens. The Union Budget also failed to address this issue.

(MENAFN) In a significant development, the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) announced on Friday the commencement of operations at the fourth station of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant. This milestone was confirmed through a statement released by the Abu Dhabi Media Office, marking a significant step forward in the UAE's nuclear energy endeavors.
Operating under the umbrella of ENEC, the subsidiary Nawah Energy Company has been entrusted with the responsibility of managing and maintaining the operational activities of the Barakah plants. The initiation of operational activities at the fourth station reactor signifies the onset of the nuclear fission process, a pivotal stage where heat is generated to drive steam turbines, thereby producing electricity, as outlined in the official statement.
In the forthcoming weeks, the fourth station is slated to be integrated into the UAE's electricity grid, contingent upon reaching a predetermined level of reactor power. Subsequent to this, a series of tests will be conducted in tandem with the progressive elevation of the reactor's power level, ultimately culminating in the attainment of maximum power capacity. Following rigorous testing and calibration processes, commercial operations are expected to commence within the span of several months.
Notably, each Barakah station has been operated with increasing efficiency compared to its predecessor, leveraging insights, knowledge, and experiences gleaned from prior stations. This iterative approach has led to notable time savings in the commissioning process, with the third station becoming operational four months sooner than the second station and five months ahead of the first station. This underscores the strategic advantage of implementing a phased approach to developing multiple stations, facilitating continuous improvement and streamlined operational efficiency.
The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant project stands as the inaugural multi-station nuclear energy initiative in the Arab world to enter the operational phase. Notably, the project has adhered to a meticulously planned timeline, with the commencement of operations at one plant annually since the inception of operations in 2020, underscoring the UAE's commitment to advancing its nuclear energy capabilities with precision and efficacy.

(MENAFN) Novak Djokovic is renowned for his successes on the tennis court, but the Serbian has also received accolades for his excellent language abilities, which he exhibited this week at the Astana Open.
Djokovic is making his debut at the ATP 500 indoor hard-court tournament in Kazakhstan, and he quickly won against Chile's Cristian Garin on Wednesday.
Grabbing the microphone, the Serbian star began his post-match interview in Russian, one of the country's official languages along with Kazakh.
“Hi, Kazakhstan!” stated Djokovic in Russian, receiving loud cheers from the audience.
“It’s very nice to be here with you. Thank you for your support,” noted the Serbian ace, faltering slightly but earning full praise for his efforts – before saying the Kazakh phrase for ‘thank you’ just for good measure.
Djokovic's linguistic abilities are widely renowned. In addition to his native Serbian, the 35-year-old is fluent in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, and is learning a variety of other languages.
Djokovic also pleased Kazakh fans on court, easily defeating Chile's Garin in straight sets, 6-1 6-1.

(MENAFN- IANS) Kolkata, April 4 (IANS) West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on Thursday recommended the removal of state Education Minister Bratya Basu from his chair with immediate effect over charges of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violation.
According to sources in the Raj Bhavan, the Governor has taken note of Basu's presence at a convention of Trinamool Congress at the Gour Banga University in North Bengal on March 30, which amounted to a violation of the MCC.
On March 30, a convention of the Trinamool-affiliated West Bengal College & University Professors' Association (WBCUPA) was held at the Gour Banga University where Education Minister Basu, who is also the WBCUPA President, was present.
However, this action of Basu was considered a violation of the MCC by the Governor's office, which has now recommended his immediate removal from the Education Minister's chair.
Reacting to the development, Basu called the Governor's recommendation 'hilarious', stating that had he violated the MCC, the matter should have been brought to the notice of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
“It is the prerogative of any political party to bring any such matter to the notice of the ECI, which can take appropriate action. By raising such an accusation, the Governor has misused his Constitutional post and showed his political identity,” Basu said.
He also claimed that as per the provisions of the Constitution, the authority for appointing or recommending the removal of any member of the state Cabinet rests with the Chief Minister.
“He (the Governor) has not only shown his true colours, but has also exceeded his Constitutional limit,” Basu said.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) BRUSSELS, Oct 26 (KUNA) -- The EU police agency Europol announced Thursday the dismantling of a major migrant smuggling network operating across Europe.
Europol supported a joint Investigation team, consisting of investigators and judicial authorities from five different EU Member States; Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Netherlands, and UK, it said in a press statement.
Law enforcement authorities carried out 42 searches across Europe and arrested 26 individuals; 8 in Belgium, 7 in Bulgaria and 11 in the UK, it said.
The arrested individuals are suspected of being part of the network that was facilitating unlawful immigration from countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, into the European Union.
Authorities estimate that over 48 illegal journeys since June 2016 have already taken place, allowing around 400 migrants to gain illegal entry into Europe via this organized crime group.
The organized crime group is believed to have transported migrants in specially adapted vehicles, passing through various EU Member States, with the UK as final destination.
The leader of the ring was a wheelchair-bound disabled man from Afghanistan, who is based in the UK.
"This operation, the biggest 2017 operation from the European Migrant Smuggling Centre," Robert Crepinko, Head of the European Migrant Smuggling Centre at Europol, said.
The operation clearly shows that migrant smuggling is an international crime that calls for international cooperation in law enforcement, said Crepinko. (end) nk.ma
