(MENAFN- Daily Outlook Afghanistan) KABUL - The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said at a debate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC on Wednesday, the United States will remain in Afghanistan as long as the Taliban refuse to join the peace process.
'So it is about a commitment, a message to the Taliban and other elements that we're not going anywhere. And so we'll be here as long as it takes for you to change your mind and decide you want to engage with the Afghan government in a reconciliation process and develop a form of government that does suit the needs of the culture of Afghanistan, he said at the debate titled 'Defining Our Relationship with India for the Next Century.
Meanwhile, Tillerson called on Islamabad to take concrete steps against terrorists.
'Pakistan, too, is an important US partner in South Asia. Our relationships in the region stand on their own merits. We expect Pakistan to take decisive action against terrorist groups based within their own borders that threaten their own people and the broader region. In doing so, Pakistan furthers stability and peace for itself and its neighbors, and improves its own international standing, he added.
He also termed India as a strategic partner of Washington in establishing peace in Afghanistan.
'And as we implement President Trump's new South Asia strategy, we will turn to our partners to ensure greater stability in Afghanistan and throughout the region. India is a partner for peace in Afghanistan and we welcome their assistance efforts, he stated.
Tillerson said the US government will destroy terrorist safe havens wherever they are and that it will cut off their financial sources and other chances.
'Our policy, quite simply, on terrorism is that we will deny terrorists the opportunity, the means, the location, the wherewithal, the financing, the ability to organize and carry out attacks against Americans at home and abroad, anywhere in the world, he said. (Tolonews)

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) The number of Asians who were killed in road accidents in the emirate dropped by 11 per cent over the past three years, according to the latest figures released by Abu Dhabi Police.
The figures, released at the recently concluded traffic safety conference, showed that 213 people of Asian nationalities were killed and seriously injured in road crashes during 2016, while 273 fatalities were recorded in 2015 and 239 deaths and serious injuries registered in 2014.
The number of Asians who sustained minor and moderate injuries also dropped by 12 per cent over the past three years, falling to 1,191 injuries in 2016 and 1,377 in 2015 as compared to 1,349 in 2014.
The figures also showed that 108 youths aged between 18 and 30 died in road accidents in Abu Dhabi and 1,108 others were injured - 56 of them seriously - during 2016.
According to police, 83 youths died and 1,184 were injured in road accidents during 2015 while 114 were killed and 1,383 injured in road crashes in 2014.
Traffic authorities said accidents were caused mainly by speeding, negligence, sudden change of lanes, recklessness, poor overtaking and not leaving enough distance between vehicles.
According to Abu Dhabi Police, the force was witnessing a steady decrease in the number of fatalities on Abu Dhabi roads despite an increase in the number of cars and new drivers.
The officer attributed the decline in road fatalities to the measures taken by the traffic police, including increasing safety awareness among drivers and other road users and strict enforcement of laws.
Authorities said the traffic and patrols directorate has carried out a number of safety awareness initiatives, exhibitions and traffic awareness lectures, which have benefited 204,700 people of different nationalities and communities. The initiatives also included awareness for young drivers aged 18 to 30, where 27 lectures were conducted.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Feb 14 (IANS) England captain Ben Stokes has chosen to tread carefully around Virat Kohli's absence from the Test series, emphasizing the importance of respecting Kohli's privacy during this challenging time.
Kohli had initially opted out of just the first two Tests citing personal reasons. However, the BCCI has respected his eventual decision to remain unavailable for the entire series.
In a video shared by the ECB on their website, Stokes addressed the question of Kohli's absence with tact and sensitivity. Refraining from labeling the situation as either advantageous or disadvantageous for England, Stokes highlighted the broader impact on cricket when a prominent figure like Kohli is unable to participate due to personal reasons.
"I don't mean to say anything disrespectful to the question. I think when it's situations like these, when someone is missing a big series and a lot of cricket due to personal reasons, which we are not sure of, we shouldn't label that as positive or negative to our team,” said Stokes to ECB.
"We should just let it be. It's a broader loss for cricket. I wish Virat whatever he is going through all the best, I wish he comes through it. Virat Kohli, on a cricket field, is something that everybody wants to see,” he added.
Indeed, the void left by Kohli's absence has been palpable in the Indian batting lineup, evident in their struggle to assert dominance in the first two Tests. With the additional blow of KL Rahul's absence in the upcoming Test, India finds itself grappling with an inexperienced batting order, where the burden of responsibility falls heavily on the shoulders of younger talents like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

A man suspected of flying a drone over the Swedish king’s residence near Stockholm has been arrested, Trend reports citing Euronews.
The suspect was arrested on Sunday afternoon near Drottningholm Palace, one of Sweden’s royal palaces, police said.
The man is suspected of breaking the law on the protection of sensitive places, such as the private residence of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
“We are not confirming the nationality of this person, we are just confirming the arrest of a man,” Stockholm police spokesman Ola Österling told AFP.
The investigation was partly entrusted to the Swedish internal intelligence agency, Säpo.
The arrest comes as Sweden investigates a series of reports of unknown drones spotted in various parts of Sweden.
Earlier this month, several drones were reportedly spotted over Swedish nuclear power plants and other sensitive locations.
A “military drone” was also reported in mid-January flying over the Swedish parliament and government buildings and the royal palace in central Stockholm.
Swedish police said they were not yet able to prove the suspect drones were deployed by a foreign country, despite nearly 200 reports.

(MENAFN) The latest data released by the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) revealed that Iran's fishery exports surged in the first 11 months of the previous Iranian calendar year, spanning from March 21, 2023, to February 19, 2024. During this period, Iran exported over 186,000 tons of fishery products, amounting to a total value of USD337.7 million. An Iranian news agency reported that these exports marked a notable increase of 6.5 percent in terms of value and 15.3 percent in terms of weight compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Iran's aquaculture industry has been witnessing significant progress, earning the country recognition for its achievements in the production of various fishery products. According to the head of the Iran Fisheries Organization (IFO), the country achieved remarkable success by exporting USD600 million worth of fishery products in the Iranian calendar year 1401. Hossein Hosseini highlighted a positive balance of USD520 million in that year and emphasized the potential for further expansion, citing a capacity of up to USD2 billion in exports for Iran's fishery industry.
The growth and development of Iran's aquaculture sector have positioned the country as a model for the region and the world. Recognizing Iran's responsible and central role in the fishing and aquaculture industry, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has praised Iran as a model for other countries in the region. This acknowledgment underscores Iran's significant contributions to the advancement of the fishing and aquaculture sector, solidifying its position as a leader in the field.

(MENAFN- Baystreet) Dow Crawls as Bonds Hit Heights
Stocks fell Tuesday as traders kept an eye on rising Treasury yields, which hit a 16-year high.
The Dow Jones Industrials descended 167.45 points to start Tuesday at 33,265.90.
The S&P 500 index sagged 31.89 points to 4,256.48.
The NASDAQ index waned 134.16 points, or 1%, to 13,173.61.
Stocks moved to their lows of the session as yields spiked further following the release of the August job openings survey, which signaled a still tight jobs market. The survey showed 9.6 million open roles in the month. Meanwhile, economists polled by Dow Jones had anticipated 8.8 million jobs.
Seasoning and spice manufacturer McCormick & Company led the broad market index's losses on Tuesday, falling nearly 10% after announcing its quarterly earnings. Kellogg declined by 8%, followed by Veralto's 4.1% loss and Airbnb's decline of 3.4%.
Investors are hoping to turn the page on a disappointing September for stocks. All three major indexes closed the month and the third quarter lower. The S&P 500 alone lost nearly 5% in September.
That means key economic reports - such as last month's payroll reports, due Friday - and the kickoff of earnings reporting season next week are back in focus.
Prices for the 10-year Treasury swooned, raising yields to 4.73% from Monday's 4.69%. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

56 of French People Would 'React Badly' if Their Daughter Married a Muslim
(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Fifty-six percent of French people said they would 'react badly' if heir daughter married a Muslim man.
The study published by French magazine Le Journal Du Dimanche covered a wide range of issues regarding cultural diversity in the country including racism Islamophbia and Anti-Semitism. Commissioned by the Foundation of French Judaism the survey took place over the course of 18 months and sought 1000 participants including respondents from Muslim and Jewish communities alongside members of the general population. Questions included 'Does immigration benefit France?' to which 54 percent answered 'no' and 'Are there too many Muslims in France?' to which 18 percent answered 'yes.' thirty percent of respondents t agreed that racism can be justified and 56 percent said they would 'react badly' if their daughter married a Muslim. One particular question that asked whether survey participants had 'ever personally encountered problems' with people of either the Islamic or Jewish faiths as well as people originating from sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb caused the most controversy. Criticism on social media was fierce with people claiming that the questions forced participants to make generalizations about large groups of people based on their beliefs or origins. Critics also claimed that the survey blurred the lines between geographical descent and religious ideology. Republican lawmaker Gerald Darmanin expressed his disbelief at the questioning on Twitter writing 'Being Muslim Jewish or Catholic is not a 'type of person' it's a belief!' Others sought to defend the questionnaire. Ariel Goldmann president of the Foundation of French Judaism said that it played an important role in 'understanding what is happening' and to 'monitor and analyze tensions across France.' Nevertheless the results of this survey indicate high levels of suspicion and mistrust between communities in the country and reflect the increasing hostilities facing Muslims in France following two major terrorist atrocities carried out by ISIS last year. These attacks have lead to a surge in popularity of far-right party Front National which following the November 13 terrorist attacks saw its support rise to 40 percent according to a poll by Ipsos/Sopra Steria.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dubai: Emirates is gearing up to launch the world's first 'biometric path' which will offer its customers a smooth and truly seamless airport journey at the airline's hub in Dubai International airport.
Utilising the latest biometric technology – a mix of facial and iris recognition, Emirates passengers can soon check in for their flight, complete immigration formalities, enter the Emirates Lounge, and board their flights, simply by strolling through the airport.
The latest biometric equipment has already been installed at Emirates Terminal 3, Dubai International airport. This equipment can be found at select check-in counters, at the Emirates Lounge in Concourse B for premium passengers, and at select boarding gates.
Trials for the Smart Tunnel, a project by the General Directorate of Residence and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai (GDRFA) in collaboration with Emirates, was launched on 10 October. It is a world-first for passport control, where passengers simply walk through a tunnel and are 'cleared' by immigration authorities without human intervention or the need for a physical passport stamp.
Once its internal tests are completed, Emirates will shortly launch trials for biometric processing at the other key customer points at the airport – check-in, lounge, and boarding gate – and subsequently at transit counters/gates, and for its chauffeur drive services.
Adel Al Redha, Emirates' Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer said: 'We are now satisfied with the preliminary work we have carried out and are ready to commence live trials of the world's first biometric path at Emirates Terminal 3. '
Emirates' 'biometric path' will improve customer experience and customer flow through the airport with less document checks and less queuing. Eventually, the 'live' passenger tracking capability will also improve security and the airline's ability to deliver even better and more personalised services. For instance, enabling the Emirates airport team to locate and assist 'late' customers who would otherwise miss their flights.
The airline's 'biometric path' will cover departures, arrivals, transit, chauffeur drive connections, and lounge access in Dubai.

Bengaluru, March 13 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has ruled out defections from the ruling BJP in the state.
'There is no question of any one from BJP defecting to other parties. Neither earlier, nor now,' Bommai said on Sunday.
Speaking to media persons here, he said, 'I can tell you categorically that no one from our party will defect to other parties. As for any one from other parties hopping into BJP, just wait and see.'
Following the results of the assembly elections in five states, the political situation is beginning to warm up again in Karnataka. With four vacancies remaining in the state cabinet, speculations are rife on a cabinet expansion soon. However, replying to a question on cabinet expansion, Bommai said that he would visit Delhi when he gets the call from the party top brass to discuss the issue.
The Chief Minister ruled out the possibility of an early election in the state.

Companies selling shampoo, food, and other products wrapped in plastics have a decade to cut down on their use of the polluting material if they want their wares on California store shelves.
Major legislation passed and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday aims to significantly reduce single-use plastic packaging in the state and drastically boost recycling rates for what remains. It sets the nation's most stringent requirements for the use of plastic packaging, with lawmakers saying they hope it sets a precedent for other states to follow.
“We're ruining the planet and we've got to change it,” Sen. Bob Hertzberg, a Democrat, said before voting on the bill.
What the bill has to say about the use of plastics
Under the bill, plastics producers would have to reduce plastics in single-use products by 10% by 2027; increasing to 25% by 2032. That reduction in plastic packaging can be met through a combination of reducing package sizing, switching to a different material, or making the product easily reusable or refillable. Also by 2032, plastic would have to be recycled at a rate of 65%, a massive jump from today's rates. It wouldn't apply to plastic beverage bottles, which have their own recycling rules .
Efforts to limit plastic packaging have failed in the Legislature for years, but the threat of a similar ballot measure going before voters in November prompted business groups to come to the negotiating table. The measure's three main backers withdrew it from the ballot after the bill passed, though they expressed concern the plastics industry will try to weaken the requirements.

(MENAFN- AFP) Greece's four top banks are expected to need an extra capital injection of about five billion euros, local media said Sunday as the country's international lenders prepared for a new audit of Greek finances.
The Bank of Greece is currently evaluating the restructuring plans of the country's four main lenders -- National Bank, Alpha Bank, Piraeus Bank and Eurobank -- before releasing stress test results that will show whether they can absorb possible future shocks from bad loans.The Ethnos newspaper reported that the central bank's preliminary estimates put the banks' capital needs at around five billion euros ($6.8 billion), while the weekly Realnews said it would be between 4.5 to 4.8 billion euros. The central bank said official results would be published by early March.Officials from the European Union, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund are set to begin their latest audit of Greek finances that will decide whether a new tranche of aid will be released on Monday. The so-called troika of lenders will also meet with Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras.In January Bank of Greece governor George Provopoulos had warned of rising bad loans, saying the "late repayment of loans could lead to a reduction of banks' capital and the need for (new) capital to pay high commissions".The Greek banking sector underwent radical restructuring and consolidation last year under the terms of the country's bailout deal with the EU, IMF and the ECB.The four top banks were recapitalised as part of the terms included in the latest EU-IMF bailout deal.A period of consolidation of the banking sector followed, with the big four rapidly acquiring smaller rivals and the subsidiaries of foreign banks who had pulled out.A sum of 50 billion euros from the EU-IMF rescue loans was earmarked for the recapitalisation of banks following the heavy losses they suffered by taking part in a write-down of privately-held Greek government bonds in 2012.

Russia Expresses Willingness to Import Technologies, Expertise from Saudi Arabia
(MENAFN) During a high-profile forum in Riyadh focused on enhancing economic relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia, Alexey Gruzdev, the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, expressed Russia's willingness to import and acquire advanced technologies and expertise from its partners. Gruzdev highlighted the importance of imports for Russia and encouraged Russian companies to explore the wide range of opportunities offered by Saudi Arabia.
The two-day event, titled "Made in Russia + Innoprom," serves as a platform to strengthen the commitment of both nations towards mutually beneficial partnerships and sustained growth. Gruzdev emphasized the significance of Russian companies visiting Saudi Arabia to gain insights into the experiences and capabilities of local producers, as well as to explore potential imports of materials, components, and services from Saudi Arabia to Russia.
When asked about measures taken by Russia to address the trade imbalance with Saudi Arabia, Gruzdev stated that their presence at the forum aimed to assess the substantial turnover between the two countries and find ways to enhance it further. He emphasized that although Russia is a producing country, they embrace a modern model that encompasses not only global supply but also the readiness to import and acquire valuable technologies and expertise from their partners.

The project is expected to be completed in November 2019.
The Inclusive Regulations for Microfinance project aims at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at the rate of 60% of the fund, and supporting the development of the financial sector with the rate of 40% of the fund.

(MENAFN) In response to a remarkable surge in luxury car exports from the United Kingdom to Azerbaijan, the British Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has vehemently denied any connection to Russia or sanctions circumvention. As cited by Sky News, the SMMT refutes previous suggestions that the exponential growth in vehicle sales to the South Caucasus nation is a result of sanctions evasion tactics or linked to Russia's geopolitical landscape.
Sky News had previously reported a staggering 2,000 percent increase in car exports to Azerbaijan compared to the five-year period preceding 2022. This surge coincided with the United Kingdom's ban on car imports exceeding EUR42,000 (USD53,300) to Russia following Moscow's military intervention in Ukraine, as well as restrictions on "dual use" items sales to the country.
In light of analysis conducted by Sky News revealing a corresponding rise in car exports from Azerbaijan to Russia during the same timeframe, the SMMT spokesperson rebuffed any insinuation of illicit dealings. The spokesperson emphasized that Azerbaijan stands as a thriving market independently and underscored the lack of evidence indicating that vehicles destined for the country were ultimately bound for Russia.
The SMMT further elucidated that the surge in United Kingdom vehicle exports to Azerbaijan is a reflection of various factors, including the country's burgeoning economy, introduction of new vehicle models, and pent-up consumer demand. These dynamics, according to the SMMT, contribute to the overall increase in United Kingdom vehicle exports to Azerbaijan, mirroring trends observed in global markets.
Sky's analysis revealed that Azerbaijan continued its significant vehicle imports from the United Kingdom, amounting to USD51 million in the first month of the current year alone. Notably, Azerbaijan had not previously ranked among the top 75 export destinations for British-made cars, underscoring the sudden and substantial emergence of the South Caucasus nation in this domain.
As discussions surrounding international trade dynamics persist, the SMMT's assertion stands in contrast to speculation regarding the motivations behind the surge in luxury car exports to Azerbaijan. Amidst geopolitical tensions and economic considerations, the narrative surrounding the expansion of United Kingdom-Azerbaijan trade relations continues to evolve, with implications for both regional and global markets.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) BAKU, Azerbaijan, Sept.8
By Chingiz Safarli - Trend:
A water taxi can become an alternative mode of transport in Baku, an expert in the field of transport Elmaddin Muradly told Trend on Sept.8.
According to Muradly, water taxis can play an important role in passenger transportation in the city, but it's necessary to determine their cost-effectiveness.
"The issues of the functioning of a water taxi, the construction of bridges in the water area of Baku, the use of boats for passenger transportation have been discussed for a long time,” he said.“At the same time, it should be kept in mind that Baku is a city of winds. We need to learn the opinion of specialists of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and other spheres. If this is about passenger transportation in general, we, as transport workers, support the proposal to introduce a water taxi.”
“This is an alternative mode of transport that is used in many countries. The water taxi is also a factor that enhances the tourist potential. Its profitability, the level of interest of passengers in it, the issues of using a sea taxi not only in Baku but also in the water area of the Absheron Peninsula, in the northern and southern directions should be analyzed," Muradly noted.
The expert also reminded the continuing decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea.
"At present, this type of transport may seem relevant, but what will happen if the level of the Caspian decreases even more? Then the invested millions will be lost. So, the issue of using water taxis should be comprehensively studied," he concluded.

(MENAFN) Greece's Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has announced that the country will raise its minimum wage for the third time since the conservative government took office in 2019. The minimum monthly wage will increase from €713 (USD758) to €780 (USD829), equating to a 9.4 percent increase, effective from April 1. Mitsotakis noted that while this increase does not solve the problem, it provides significant relief and indicates the government's intention to upgrade salaries in both the public and private sectors.
According to Mitsotakis, the rise represents the maximum limit of what the country can afford, highlighting that the minimum wage in 2019 was €650. The conservative government's first increase was 2 percent, with a monthly gross minimum wage of €663 in January 2022, while another increase of 9.7 percent raised the monthly gross minimum wage to €713 in May 2022.
Meanwhile, a recent poll conducted by Pulse company on behalf of Skai TV projected that the New Democracy party, led by Mitsotakis, is slightly ahead of the left-wing opposition SYRIZA. The poll revealed that New Democracy is leading SYRIZA by 4 percent, with Mitsotakis polling at 35 percent as the most suitable prime minister, while opposition leader Alexis Tsipras received 27 percent.
The poll also revealed that New Democracy is projected to receive 30 percent of the vote, with leftist SYRIZA following closely with 26 percent. Center-left PASOK is expected to receive 10 percent of the vote, followed by the Greek communist party KKE with 6 percent, Greek Solution with 4 percent, and radical leftist MeRA25 with 3.5 percent. The poll found that undecided voters make up 13 percent of the electorate.
Overall, the increase in Greece's minimum wage for the third time since the conservative government took office is a significant development, demonstrating the government's commitment to improving the country's economic situation. The poll results suggest that Mitsotakis and his New Democracy party are still leading in popularity, despite the challenges of governing during a pandemic and economic crisis.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Rabat - The number of people who were killed on roads in Morocco decreased by 2.62 percent in 2017, State Secretary for Transport Mohammed Najib Boulif said on Monday in Rabat. During a Road Security Standing Committee meeting, appropriately marking National Road Safety Day, Boulif shared initial statistics, which reveal that 3,499 fatalities were recorded in 2017 against 3,593 in 2016. According to Boulif, the number of fatalities due to road accidents recorded in urban areas last year reached 943 accidents, representing a 4.17 percent year-on-year decrease. More than 2,550 other people were killed in rural areas, recording a 2.03 percent decrease. In 2017, 89,998 traffic accidents were reported, representing 9.99 percent rise compared to 2016.
