Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.
Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the city’s special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense. Weiner is one of the health care law’s biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.

"There are no shortcuts. We can break the chain of COVID-19 transmission only when we apply all available measures at once." Al-Mandhari noted.
He further added:"We must quickly and effectively scale up vaccination coverage and simultaneously apply all other preventative health and social measures, including maintaining physical distancing, handwashing, avoiding crowded and closed spaces, and mask-wearing."
"Ahead of potential COVID-19 surges, we continue to work closely with countries in the Region to upgrade their surveillance, sequencing, and testing mechanisms to prevent and better respond to these surges," he emphasized.
Al-Mandhari called for solidarity and equitable access to vaccines, to move towards the target of all countries protecting 10% of their population by September, 40% by the end of this year and 70% by mid of next year.
"While we know that the targets for 2021 will not be met in all countries, we must do our absolute best to come as close as possible and then to accelerate our efforts further in the months ahead," Al-Mandhari explained.

Social Democrat MP Indrek Saar said that the European Parliament Elections in May will be taken more seriously in Estonia than they were four years ago, as the union is currently in the process of setting its goals for the future.

IRL's Margus Tsahkna said that the European People's Party, which has the highest number of seats, including the IRL MEPs, could lose out to the Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

Condemning Dr Singh’s statement in which he mentioned Pakistan as the epicentre of ‘terrorist activities’, Sallah-u-Din has alleged that the former Indian Army chief ‘confession that India is behind all terrorist activities taking place in Pakistan, Baluchistan and Afghanistan’ must act as an eye opener for the Indian leadership.
The UJC chief further mentioned that the people of Kashmir are striving for their birth right since 1947 and Pakistan is to the party to Kashmir cause. “It is however unfortunate that Pakistan has limited its support to Kashmir cause and on the other side India is engaged in widening its occupation in the Kashmir region.”

Ontario to increase base funding for public health agencies
Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones said Tuesday that the province will increase base funding for public health units by one per cent a year over the next three years, also adding that Ontario will also return to sharing 75 per cent of the share of public health costs with municipalities.
Ontario will restore $47 million in provincial annual base funding for public health units from January 1, 2024, that will return the province to taking up 75 per cent of the share of public health costs, reversing a cut in health spending the government introduced in 2019 that moved the ratio for public health cost-sharing formula with municipalities from 75-25 to 70-30.
Speaking at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in London, Jones also said the province will offer a one-time funding to public health units that agree to merge voluntarily, an idea proposed by the government in 2019 to consolidate the province’s public health units that was later put on hold in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Public health agencies that voluntarily merge to streamline would receive funding and resources, as a way for the province to reduce overlap of services and reinvest back into expanding programs and services.
Our government is investing in a stronger public health sector.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) The Congress on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "showing his back to the people of Manipur" which criticising him over the killing of two students in the strife-torn state which has sparked protests.
The Congress also slammed the Prime Minister for not visiting Manipur and demanded sending an all-party delegation to the northeastern state, while also demanding the resignation of Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, Congress' Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi questioned PM Modi "how long will it take him to awake up to the crisis in the troubled state?"
"The Chief Minister repeatedly says that he has spoken to Home Minister Amit Shah. So we want to know from the Prime Minister what he is doing? Why has the country made you Prime Minister, just for publicity, just to flag off trains? When a part of the country is burning, isn't it your responsibility? Is that not your job? So we would like to know from the Prime Minister how many times he himself talked to the Chief Minister of Manipur in the last five months?" Gogoi questioned.
He also criticised the Prime Minister "for showing his back to the people of Manipur and the country".
He said that even after five months, "the Prime Minister has not bothered to visit Manipur".
"Our opinion is clear... Prime Minister Modi, please stop turning your back on Manipur and the country and face this challenge. We are moving forward the proposal of sending an all-party delegation. There are about 4,000 sophisticated weapons in the hands of people even today, and there is an atmosphere of tension. It is our collective responsibility to end this," he said.
He also said the Manipur Chief Minister should be removed before anything else as "he has completely failed".

UK: Controversial medical records database suspended
Kate Devlin reports:
The project triggered anger when it was revealed that information could have been logged on the system without patients’ knowledge.
The British Medical Association (BMA) warned that many people were not even aware of the scheme, let alone the fact that they could ‘opt out’.
In some cases letters informing patients of their rights had gone missing.
Although records will continue to be uploaded in some early adopter areas, Government plans to roll out the scheme across the country have been effectively halted.
The Department of Health said that uploading of data would begin again only when public awareness had been raised.

THIS month council submitted to the State Government to have the Longreach Show as a public holiday next year.
This comes after the great turnout to the Longreach Show this year and is due to the fact the Westech Field Days event will not be held next year.
Show Society President Tony Jackson said after the Longreach Show had been given the Friday as a public holiday, the event had seen overwhelming support from the community.
“We turned the show into a two-day show,” he said.
“Traditionally the show has always been on the Saturday, but we took the decision to extend the show.
“We had the main day on the public holiday and carried over to the Saturday with events as well.”
Next year, Mr Jackson said the committee had plans to expand the Saturday program and turn the day into a genuine two-day show.
“This year was the first time for a fair few years since we had the Friday as a public holiday,” he said.
“In the past, people thought the Friday public holiday, people were making that a long weekend and they were leaving town.
“However with the advent of COVID people aren’t moving around as they would do in the past, so this year we had over 3,000 people in attendance.”
He said that was in part to the added holiday but also due to the fact the show didn’t run in 2020.
“We’ll just continue to do what we’ve been doing and with that show on the Friday, one of the obstacles will be in finding suitable entertainment for the show,” Mr Jackson said.
“We went with monster trucks this year, and we have a fair few things for next year as well.”

The government should consult with the private sector when formulating policy: Senior Vice President Dhakal
3rd Oct, 2021 | Tourism Mail Crew
KATHMANDU, Oct 03: Senior Vice President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Chandra Prasad Dhakal has said that the industrialists are facing problems as the government is making policy by excluding the private sector.
He said that the policy should be formulated in consultation with the private sector to solve the problems of the country's industry and business sector. Addressing the second General Assembly of the Jeetpur Simra Municipal Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bara on Saturday, Dhakal claimed that some of the provisions made in the replacement budget brought by the government were not private sector friendly. Dhakal said, "Some of the policies brought by the government through the budget have not helped the private sector but are creating more difficulties for private sector."
Dhakal said that hundreds of containers of Nepali businessmen have been stranded at the border due to the recent arrangements made by the government for the import of plastic sheets. He also urged the government to consult with the concerned parties while formulating any policy related to the private sector. He said, "Since the policy to be formulated by the government has long-term significance, it should be formulated in consultation with the concerned parties, so that the country's industry and business can flourish and also benefit the private sector."
Dhakal said that the government should change its attitude towards the private sector as the private sector is contributing to the work of the government through its social responsibility. "Every entrepreneur is helping the government in its social responsibility, but the government is only discouraging the sector instead of encouraging it," he said.
Dhakal said that the government should be serious in the protection and development of industries in the Birgunj-Pathlaiya Industrial Corridor. He said that it was unfortunate that the state did not pay attention to the development of minimum infrastructure such as roads and sewerage required for the industries of the Birgunj-Pathlaiya corridor, which would contribute significantly to the total revenue of the country.
Speaking on the occasion, Ganesh Lath, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, said that there was always a dispute between the locals and the industrialists as the government did not recognize the Birgunj-Pathlaiya area as an industrial corridor. He complained that the government had to separate the industrial area and the residential area.
Lath said that the government did not appreciate the contribution made by the industry to the country's revenue and employment. The general assembly starting today will elect a new leadership. According to the constitution of the Municipal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Senior Vice President Mohan Sharma Lamichhane will be President while the election process has started for the selection of Senior vice president and other office bearers.

The controversial letter from the DPP Leaked by the DEC was meant to embarrass President Hakainde Hichilema and in the process cast doubt at Government”s commitment to the fight against corruption.
And now an intensive internal investigation has been launched to identify the person responsible, which person must have been aware of the discussions taking place at various levels.
Sources at Drug Enforcement Commission said nothing was being left to chance to identify the person responsible for this and many other leakages that had characterized operations of the institution.
“Clearly someone was not happy with what was going on with regard to the Milingo negotiations and decided to leak the letter to scuttle the plan.” The source said.
The controversial letter written by Director of Public Prosecutions Lillian Siyuni to Director General of the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) Mary Chirwa, sough an explanation for the re-arrest of KCM Liquidator against whom she had entered a Nolle.
UPND Lusaka Province deputy youth chairperson Anderson Banda however said the letter was leaked by Patriotic Front (PF) surrogates aimed at embarrassing President Hakainde Hichilema,
Mr Banda said that it was evident that PF surrogates at the DEC probably meant to divert the attention of the incompetence of the DPP.
He said that the president was nowhere near that letter and that people were just trying to undermine his authority.
“For me it’s evident that the masterminds maliciously leaked that letter to implicate State House as being part and parcel of the Milingo Lungu debacle,” he said.
Mr Banda said that even if the DPP had given a nolle to Lungu if fresh charges arose the DEC had the authority to rearrest him again.
He said the president had so many important issues to deal with rather than focus on the issue of the DPP who had been compromised.
“I’m sure that letter was fabricated by Milingo, the same DPP and their friends to twist the attention of the people of Zambia,” he said
He said some criminals had regrouped and were trying to fight the president and that they had also compromised the DPP who was on their side.
But Republican Party President Wright Musoma has charged that the person that leaked the letter was a UPND cadre who was not happy with the deal that had been struck by the state and former Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) Liquidator Milingo Lungu.
He said that most members of the UPND were not happy with the deal hence they were forced to leak the letter for the country to see what was going on behind closed doors.
“It’s obvious that the people that leaked the DPP letter are UPND members, some of whom are at the DEC because they failed to stomach the betrayal at the hands of the state,” he said.

It is a well-known fact that the Greek coalition government has some serious deficiencies. The main reason is that two of the three parties that compose it – socialist PASOK and Democratic Left – have chosen to participate in a manner that allows them to take on less than their share of responsibility for decisions made and also to exercise criticism of policy. The second factor dogging the government is that party politics continue to play a leading role in the public administration.
On a practical level, this means that all three party leaders have to compromise, with the most recent example being the replacement of high-ranking tax officers. What the government has failed to look at is the simplest solution: meritocracy.
On issues such as these, rather than stumbling over their own feet, the parties of the coalition should simply agree to replace executives who have failed at their jobs and keep those who have succeeded.

News Social Impact Prize Workshop 17.03.2022
On Thursday lunchtime the students taking part in the Social Impact Prize attended a workshop with Mr Carroll to help them meaningfully shape and and develop their ideas.
First off, students were asked to think about the problem that their idea is trying to solve and the supporting context and research, as well as thinking about their target audience and who their programme will directly benefit. Students considered the key features and benefits and how their idea will add value to people’s lives and what will really grab people’s attention about their project and encourage people to support it.
Finally students were asked to consider the costs and funding and the time frames for the launch and running of their programmes as well as how they are going to measure the impact and success of their projects.
We are now really excited to see how the individuals and groups of students will develop their ideas ready for their final presentations later in the year.


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The explosions in western Crimea, where a Russian military base is located, significantly degraded the capability of the Russian Black Sea Fleet's naval aviation in the region.
“The fleet's naval aviation capability is now significantly degraded. The incident will likely prompt the Russian military to revise its threat perception. Crimea has probably been seen as a secure rear-area,” the UK's Ministry of Defence posted on Twitter .
However, as noted, the loss of eight combat jets represents a minor proportion of the overall fleet of aircraft Russia has available to support the war.
“Saky was primarily used as a base for the aircraft of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet,” the Ministry explained.
As reported, the occupying 'authorities' of Crimea confirmed the explosions in the area of Novofedorivka, where a Russian military base is located, on August 9. The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation stated that 'aviation munitions detonated' at the airfield.

Poll: Pessimism hits 15-year high
Americans are more pessimistic about where the economy will be a year from now than they have been at any time in almost the last 15 years, a new poll Monday showed.
In all, 59 percent of those surveyed for a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said they expect economic conditions in the United States to be poor a year from now, while 40 percent expect conditions to be good. That’s the highest percentage since CNN began asking the poll question in October, 1997
Twenty-nine percent of those surveyed said they expect the economy to be “very” poor a year from now, while 30 percent said they think it will be “somewhat” poor. At the same time, just four percent of those surveyed said they think the economy will be in “very” good shape next year, while 36 percent said they think it will be “somewhat” good.
Negative outlooks have hit the 50 percent mark or higher only once before, when half of those surveyed in September 2005 said they thought the economy would be in poor condition a year later.
Views of where the economy stands right now are even more negative. Eighty-four percent of those surveyed said they think the economy is in poor condition, while just 16 percent said it is in good shape.
When it comes to assigning blame for the bad economy, Americans’ views depend on how the question is asked.
Half of those surveyed by CNN were asked whether Democrats or Republicans were more responsible for the economy’s current economic problems, and 38 percent of them pointed to Democrats, while 35 percent pointed to Republicans and 22 percent said both parties were to blame.
By contrast, when asked whether the policies of President Barack Obama and the Democrats or President George W. Bush and the Republicans were more responsible for the economy’s current condition, 29 percent pointed to Obama while 57 percent pointed to Bush.
The poll also asked Americans about their views on the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but most of those surveyed – 80 percent – said they don’t know enough to be able to express an opinion about the agency, which officially launched last week. Eleven percent said they have positive views of the agency, while nine percent said they have negative ones.
The poll was conducted July 18-20 and surveyed 1,009 adults. The error margin is plus or minus three percentage points.
