Arab League voices concern over US plans to move embassy to Jerusalem
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Dec 2 (KUNA) -- The Arab League on Saturday voiced deep concern over the reported US Administration's plans to move its embassy from Tel Avivi to Jerusalem, thus recognizing the occupied city as capital of Israel.
"The Arab League is following the details of this issue because if it happens, it will have important ramifications not only on the political situation but security and stability in the area and the world," Secretary General Ahmad Abul Gheit said in a statement to reporters.
"We regret the fact that some are trying to accomplish this step regardless of its dangerous impacts on the stability of the Middle East and the world," he added.
Abul Gheit said they have encouraged the US administration to work on resuming the Israel-Palestinian political settlement track, but moving the embassy would not serve peace but incite "extremism and violence, and this will only benefit one party who is the Israeli government." He said the Arab League was coordinating with the Palestinian government and Arab countries over this issue. (end) mfm.bs

However, figures released yesterday by the Minister for Tourism and Industry in Madrid, show that the Balearics was the single most popular holiday destination for foreign tourists last month.
A total of 1.58 million holiday makers came to the region during June, that was an increase of five percent and, according to the Ministry, the two markets driving the rise in numbers are British and Nordic.
And that appears to be the tone across the country with the British market being the dominating force although significant increases have been reported in the United States and Swiss markets, but it is the British market which is leading the way. Last month, just over a quarter of all foreign visitors who came to Spain were British and came to the Balearics.
The only worry for the tourist industry is that the German market has flat lined slightly and looking ahead to the winter, there are reports that there is going to be a significant reduction in flights while, finally, there will be more winter flights from the UK into the Balearics.
But, how July performs, remains to be seen after the month was overshadowed with threats of strike action by the hostelry sector and coach drivers.
Fortunately they were cancelled, but it will be interesting to see just how much damage the threats did.

LEISURE companies operating in the Balearics, including those providing party and banqueting facilities, are concerned that their staff are going to become unwilling law enforcers after the introduction of a total smoking ban at the start of the New Year.
Pedro Vidal, the President of the Balearic Fiesta Halls Association said yesterday that company staff will be forced into a position where they will have to make a legal complaint against clients who flout the new law. Vidal, who heads an association comprising some 200 members, said that he was very critical of the consequences that the ban will promote in the industry. He said that the anti-smoking law promotes the interests of non-smokers but breaches the rights of those who want to smoke during their leisure time.
Vidal said that prior to the end of last year, he and industry chiefs had held a meeting with the regional Public Health department in which it was agreed to set up a committee to monitor the application and consequences of the new law.
The President warned that leisure companies will be seriously affected during the tourist season when many visitors to the Balearics will make the assumption that they are allowed to smoke in pubs, bars, cafés and discotheques. It is possible that such visitors will withdraw their custom when they discover the ban, said Vidal.

How Alexander Payne Has Proved to be Successful in Managing People
Managing people in a big industry has always remained a complex issue among the individuals who have been given the mandate to run the operations of their organizations. Details consistently highlight how such leaders fail to incorporate some of the basic aspects that involve managing another person. That is why it has emerged that some of the people in various organizations don’t have the actual skills to prove that they have what is needed when it comes to leadership.
Generally, being a leader is all about managing people. This means that one must always have some detailed information on what to offer to such individuals while ensuring that they are not making mistakes in their daily operations. That is why those individuals have to work on the basic properties of a leader, as this is the only way they will be in a position where they can make a difference in their leadership aspects.
In the production and acting industry, there have been some leaders who have already proved that they have what it takes when it comes to being leaders who can manage people. Obviously, this is a huge industry where the person who is actually performing the expected roles must prove that they have the right skills to accomplish their objectives. That is why there have been some huge growth and progress in this sector.
Alexander Payne has proved to be an individual who is aware of the progress that the industry needs by being a leader that everyone wants to have. That is why he has been the person who has consistently shown that he has the skills that can help to change the entire industry. Other leaders who have been in this sector have failed to galvanize the sector and to achieve the desired objectives.
However, as the trends have listed, Alexander Payne has proved that he has the capability to manage the hundreds of thousands of people who have been operating in this industry. This has been an essential aspect that has helped to ensure that the industry is operating as needed and that everyone feels comfortable because their basic operational requirements have been addressed as needed.

Gauteng Premier David Makhura has reassured the public that government will not hesitate to take action against civil servants who continue to fail to deliver services
This comes after officers at the Mamelodi Police Station allegedly failed to assist the family of Katlego Joja, a 10-year-old autistic girl who went missing and was later found dead.
Katlego’s body was found, after being dumped in a river.
Premier Makhura extended his condolences to the family and assured them that action will be taken against officials that failed to assist them during their time of need.
“When a government institution does well, we applaud them and when they fail our citizens it breaks our hearts and we are forced to intervene.
“The way in which Katlego’s family was told to come back after a certain period and was also taken from pillar to post at a time of distress is not the way in which government institutions should operate,” said Premier Makhura.
Premier Makhura also said that he was aware of the grievances launched by the community of Mamelodi regarding the poor service by the police in the area and would like to see immediate change of leadership at the station.
In addition, Premier Makhura said that the Gauteng government will support the family and will honour their wish to see action and accountability taken against those civil servants who did not meet the needs of citizens.
MEC Ramokgopa said that the department has begun working with departments in the social cluster to prioritise the needs of children with special needs.
“We are building special schools for children with autism and other special needs and have also introduced programmes to support children with special needs,” said MEC Ramokgopa.
In addition, Premier Makhura said that the Gauteng government has increased spending on building schools for children with special needs.

However, Fahmi, who is also the Communications and Digital Minister said that there is no guarantee that all six states — Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan — will hold their elections simultaneously.

The Khun Hynñiewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) has demanded that the state government take penal action against five individuals who made allegations that the non-tribal Hindu population in the state is being persecuted.
KHNAM Vice-President Thomas Passah told Highland Post today that the five – Vicky Dey, Prantush Sarkar, Mridul Das, Binayak Roy and Chandan Chatterjee – have been trying to mislead the Meghalaya Governor, Prime Minister and general public by slandering the indigenous people of Meghalaya, the government, district councils and police.
Passah said that pressure groups have been forced to take the lead against the individuals because other political parties have remained silent on the matter.
“We demand the state government immediately initiate legal action against these individuals under IPC 152A and IPC 505 for making statements, speeches or acts which have the effect of disturbing public tranquility or law and order by promoting enmity or creating fear or alarm between classes of people on basis of difference in religion, caste, language or place of birth,” Passah said.
He said these individuals have tried to depict the Khasi community and the state as violent, which could have a negative impact on Meghalaya and its people, including internal harmony.
“Why are the political parties and legislators quiet on the issue? Are they playing the vote bank card? If the government and the legislators remain silent, the situation will turn worse, so we, therefore, demand that immediate and swift action should be taken against these individuals,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) checks at some centres revealed that people were interested in being vaccinated, contrary to speculation that many Nigerians were scared to take the vaccine.
Mr Ferdinand Ode, a government official at the Garki Area two Primary Health Care, told NAN that the centre opens as early as 7:30 a.m. daily to attend to people.

Ode said that priority was being given to the elderly people and other people with special needs.
He emphasised that so far, no side effect of the vaccine had been recorded and advised those residents who still have doubts about the vaccine to come and get vaccinated.

Roachdale Elementary recognized with counseling distinction
ROACHDALE -- The Indiana Department of Education recently announced that 70 schools in the state had been nationally recognized for counseling services they provide to their students.
Roachdale Elementary was the only elementary school in Putnam County to be recognized by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), receiving the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation.
The designation is awarded to schools which deliver a comprehensive, data-driven counseling program that aligns with the ASCA National Model, according to the IDOE in a press statement.
When asked what kinds of programs had been working at Roachdale Elementary, counselor Dan McMurtry said that all fifth-graders have the opportunity to visit a college campus. They also provide programs where students can look into different career paths.
As far as student data goes, McMurtry provided that his office surveys students to determine their top 10 career and social goals, getting them to think earlier on what they might be passionate about.
McMurtry, who has 17 years’ experience as a counselor, believed that the community has embraced the program’s initiatives because they are the ones that have become more involved through a committee.
“What has changed is that we have more buy-in from the community,” he said. “We have community members on the committee who are the stakeholders in how we reach out to students.”
He said that the RAMP designation is a testament to how Roachdale’s counseling program has improved with the support from the community at large.
“It has had a positive impact, McMurtry said. “Our goal is to provide more services to our students, and we’re doing that plus more.”
He said that the addition of these programs has been influenced by how many people are continuing to come into the community and into the North Putnam school system.
This focus on counseling services is reminiscent of the initiatives taken by South Putnam Community School Corporation, which has also been recognized at the state level.
In Roachdale, it is greatly emphasized by engagement and transparency working together in the small town that it is.
“People see the program in action,” McMurtry said. “And they see the attention that we give our students.”


At least 18 persons including five journalists were wounded on Monday after the forest eviction drive launched by the Forest department turned violent in the upper reaches of Zampathri area of south Kashmir’s Shopian district.

A video of a brutally beaten-up Gujjar man was also viral on social media after the violence. People from Gujjar community said that they aren’t the permanent residents of the area, saying they have been erecting temporary sheds here for living to graze the cattle.“However, without serving any notice, the forest department officials reached the spot and started an eviction drive. We have insisted to the officials that we leave the area every year and there was no need to evict us,” they said.
The officials started beating them with whatever came in their way and injured three among them including two women, they alleged, saying that instead of extending a helping hand to the people amid the pandemic, the government is pushing them to the wall.
They urged the government higher-ups to look into the matter.However, forest officials said that once the eviction drive was started, the people from the whole Gujjar community assembled and made officials as well as journalists hostage in a fenced area of PHE and were not allowing us to come out.
Officials said that at least 10 forest employees and five journalists were injured during the resistance by the Gujjar community.The journalists who received minor injuries include Aijaz Ahmad Dar (Zee news), Irshad Ahmad (News18), Shahid Tak (ETV Bharat), Nazir Wani (Punjab Kesari) and Firdous Ahmad (News Nation).
District Forest Officer (DFO), Mohammad Ayoub told KNO that the people from the Gujjar community attacked them during a routine eviction drive.He said that the community was already asked to prove their claim if land belonged to them, however, they failed and accordingly the drive was started.
Ayoub said that besides officials, the journalists who had come to cover the drive, were taken hostage and were rescued by the timely action of the police.He said that they have sought an FIR against the community in this regard—(KNO)

Petros Kausiyo Deputy Sports Editor
ZIMBABWE Rugby Union president Aaron Jani believes establishing a domestic Sevens league is key to strengthening the player base from which the Cheetahs can draw talent.
Jani made the remarks after observing the battling qualities of a largely locally-based Cheetahs and the Goshawks teams at the Kwese International Sevens at the Harare Sports Club last weekend.
The ZRU president said the reigning African Champions, who are bidding for a place at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, could build on the Kwese tourney, which was their season-opening event.
Hosts Zimbabwe finished as runners-up after blowing a 14-7 lead at the break to fall 19-14 to Georgia in the final.
“What we also realised, if you look at Goshawks, is that there is a lot of talent and what it pointed out is that we don’t have a domestic league for the Sevens.
“So, going forward, we are going to ensure that that there is a domestic league in the country where the Cheetahs can draw from and, in terms of game time, the players will be guaranteed that,’’ Jani said.
The Cheetahs next assignment is the Hong Kong tournament on April 5.
Jani also acknowledged that the absence of continental Sevens heavyweights Kenya and Uganda had somewhat dampened the profile of the tournament but explained that a host of African countries were currently facing problems related to financial resources.
“What was very apparent was that we are having challenges in terms of resources throughout Africa and two of the main teams that we expected to grace the event, Kenya and Uganda, failed to make it because of resource restraints.
“We also look at those who were much closer to us, which is Lesotho and Botswana, they also had challenges in terms of resources and it is one of the major problems that have come to the fore.
“Having said that we were very honoured to have Georgia coming through and they were given good competition.
“We would have wanted to win it but they won and, obviously, they would have to come back next year to defend their title,’’ Jani said.
Jani also noted that the tournament had played second fiddle to the crunch African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Warriors and the Congo Red Devils across town at the National Sports Stadium.
“We would have wanted to have the crowds but were competing with soccer and they had higher profile game but the crowds that came through gave us a lot positive feedback.’’
Jani is also confident that participation in the domestic Super Six League and the SuperSport Challenge in South Africa will help the Sables in the Africa Gold Cup this year.
