CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – As we mark the 2nd anniversary of the West Virginia floods of 2016, more federal money is coming to help flood victims.
Senator Joe Manchin, (D) West Virginia, says he has secured another $106 million through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
That’s in addition to $150 million that has already been disbursed to flood victims over the past two years.
According to Senator Manchin, the new money has not been published yet in the federal register, but it will be available by the end of the fiscal year in September.
“I hope everything works out. We’re going to assisting in every way possible, but West Virginia will have enough money, to do the job to help people get back their lives. It’s just a shame that it’s taken two years,” said Senator Manchin.
According to Senator Manchin, homeowners who maxed-out on aid from FEMA should qualify for additional federal aid under the new HUD financial disbursements.

Bhubaneswar: Days before the Durga Puja festival, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday urged the people of the State to exercise extreme caution to prevent spread of coronavirus in the State during the Puja celebrations.
Observing that there has been a steady decline in the detection of COVID-19 positive cases during the past two weeks, in a video message Patnaik urged the people to stay home and celebrate Durga Puja.
Thanking the people for the sacrifices they have made to fight COVID-19 pandemic during the past seven months, Patnaik said that the State has succeeded in checking the spread of the coronavirus in the past months. Everyone in the State has extended their cooperation in the fight, he added.
Stating that the people at large are wearing mask and maintaining social distance responding to his request, Patnaik pointed out that some people who are not obeying the restrictions should try to understand the situation.

Citing the case of Ganjam and Gajapati districts where hundreds of COVID-19 cases were being detected two months ago, Patnaik said that the infections in those two districts have decreased drastically with community participation in the fight against the pandemic. The two districts have become inspiration for other districts in the State, he said.
He, however, said that there is nothing to be happy about it since character profile of coronavirus was critical. “We have to stay cautious until medicines and vaccines are available.”

While the number of positive cases was 1,200 in UK on September 1, it had reached 18,000 on October 18. In France, the number of cases was over 3,000 on August 31, had become more than 26,000 on October 10, he pointed out.
Informing that India was second after the US in term of number of COVID-19 infections, Patnaik said that Kerala had also controlled the pandemic very well, but the cases had started increasing again after the celebration of Onam festival in that State.
Stating that experts have opined that COVID-19 is likely to spread further during the winter months, Patnaik urged the people not to gather at public places during the forthcoming Durga Puja and Diwali celebrations.
He further urged the people to worship Maa Durga by staying home and celebrate the festival with the family members. Anyone going out of home should wear mask and maintain social distancing, he said.
Cautioning the people that we would suffer if the infections increase again, Patnaik extended his good wishes to the people for the Puja celebrations and urged them people to take the pledge before Goddess Durga to ensure that the number COVID-19 infections does not increase in the State again.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described as premature the jostling for flagbearership position in the party for the 2024 elections.
The actions of the flagbearer hopefuls, according to the Communications Director of the party, Yaw Boaben Asamoa, have the tendency to divide the party in government.
Barely three months into the second term of President Akufo-Addo, some leading members of the party have declared their presidential ambitions.
Key among them is former Railways Minister, Joe Ghartey. Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen who are seen to be leading contenders but are yet to declare their intentions.
Already, their posters are flying on social media with their supporters campaigning vigorously for them.
Some livid members, including First Vice Chairman of the NPP, Frederick Fredua Antoh, have said the conduct of the presidential hopefuls is unfair to President Nana Akufo-Addo.
In support, Mr Asamoa, on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, said they must hold on to allow the government consolidate its gains.
He explained that the achievements chalked by the Akufo-Addo administration will be the benchmark on which these hopefuls will campaign on, thus, it is only appropriate that they support the government to succeed.
“I think those declaring their intention is premature; they must put their presidential ambitions on hold and support President Akufo-Addo,” he added.
Mr Asamoa was certain the party will streamline things to ensure their activities do not affect government business.

Ghana’s democracy will be sustained
ACCRA, January 10 -- Dr Baafour Agyeman-Duah, Associate Executive Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development, has said democracy would be sustained in Ghana because politicians have learnt enough from past governments to avoid making mistakes which could lead to instability.
Dr Agyeman-Duah, who is also a political analyst, said in an interview with the GNA, that though the military have often derailed smooth transition from one democratically- elected government to another through coups d'?tat, they now appreciate the need not to intervene in governance.
This is because the military have become more professional and fully appreciate the need to abstain from politics. Dr Agyeman-Duah also said Ghanaians now generally believe that the country has outgrown the period of military interventions.
"There is now more awareness among civil society in Ghana," he said. According to Dr Agyeman-Duah, the habit of sweeping off the achievements of past governments by newly installed ones has in the past not helped with political development.
"This new government is not going to sweep away the NDC," he said, adding that there are many achievements of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which the new government could continue with. Dr Agyeman-Duah, however, said the new government could decide to discontinue with policies of the NDC that it finds inappropriate.

(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Afghanistan lies in a seismically active zone, and the country is earthquake-prone because it is located in the Chaman, Hari Rud, Central Badakhshan, and Darvaz faults. These faults are expected to pose the greatest seismic danger of the potentially active faults.
In Afghanistan, more than 7,000 people have died over the past decade due to earthquakes, with an average of 560 deaths yearly.
Among the regions in Afghanistan, the northeastern region faces a high earthquake risk due to the border with Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Among the cities in Afghanistan, Kabul and Jalalabad are among the most vulnerable and at high risk of severe earthquake impacts. Because these two cities are close to the Chaman fault on the one hand, and unplanned, nonstandard rapid urbanization due to population growth in recent years on the other hand.
The German geologist predicted the Turkey-Syria earthquake three days before the catastrophe; if the government had heeded his prediction, the damage could have been minimized.
Over 16,000 people died in the Earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria. On Thursday, more survivors were pulled from the wreckage of collapsed buildings, but hope seemed to be very distant no matter how hard they struggled. Sharefacebook twitter whatsapp linkedin email print tumblr telegram

Italy registered more than 147,000 victims of coronavirus and 11.23 million cases of infection from the pandemic outbreak two years ago.
Many restrictions, including those on transportation and restaurants have already been eased for those vaccinated, while severe restrictions continue to apply to those who are not immunized.
Mask placement is mandatory outdoors.
“In the coming weeks we will continue this path of reopening. “Based on scientific data, we will announce the deadlines for lifting the current restrictions,” Draghi said, according to a statement issued by his office.
The state vaccination campaign is considered successful, as more than 80 percent of people have received two doses, and more than 57 percent have received a booster dose.
Draghi has said that the deadline for the vaccine passport – which indicates that someone has been vaccinated, or has recovered from the disease – will not expire for those who have received the third dose.
The vaccine passport is required to participate in most activities in this state.
The government took the decision on Wednesday to ease the quarantine measure for students who are vaccinated.

One should go into the field to develop the nation without depending on propaganda, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said.
The Prime Minister expressed this sentiment at a ceremony organised to distribute lands in Nikaweratiya.

Loudon’s football team will be hard-pressed to match the 2019 season and their run to the Class 3A state semifinals.
Just don’t tell that to Loudon coach Jeff Harig.
“We feel like we have a chance to stay where we were at last year and compete the way we did,” Harig said. “We’ve got a lot of kids back, especially on offense.”


We might assume that we know what other people think about us but it’s faulty assumption.
People are so in their lives that they just don’t have time to think about us. Sure maybe they want to hear from us but they don’t think about us – once again it’s an assumption.
We can assume that we are special and people use their time to think about us, or we can assume that we’re not so special and people don’t have the time to think about us.
This makes pure sense. Do you think about Brad Pitt? No you don’t even when he’s famous.

According to The Associated Press,”About one-third of Republican voters interviewed as they left their polling places said the most important factor in choosing a candidate was finding someone who could defeat President Barack Obama in the fall. Romney won their support overwhelmingly.”

(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL
'(Taliban argument) misrepresents the reality that tens of thousands of Afghan people are killed and maimed every year in direct confrontations between the Taliban and the government forces,' Tadamichi Yamamoto told the UN Security Council on Thursday.
'All relevant parties, including the Taliban, agree that a negotiated political settlement is the way to bring an end to the conflict,' Yamamoto said.
The UN's top envoy urged the Taliban to engage in direct Afghan-owned talks with authorities in Kabul and start a peace process to bring the suffering of the Afghan people to an end.
'President Ashraf Ghani offered peace to the Taliban without preconditions, and laid out a path for negotiations with a series of concrete proposals to create space for the opening of talks.'
'The offer of negotiation is on the table,' said the head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), referring to the offer made on 28 February at the second Kabul Process conference.
At the huddle, representatives from more than 25 states and international entities endorsed the call for intra-Afghan direct talks to commence without pre-conditions.
Yamamoto, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Afghanistan, went on to say that making peace and reaching out to opponents required resolve, courage and, above all, national unity.
He urged all political leaders to demonstrate statesmanship and to place the national interest above a partisan agenda.
'National unity provides the only basis for the continuation of international support for Afghanistan, and for the implementation of effective reforms,' he said, noting that the upcoming elections provide a further opportunity to ensure that unity and stability prevail.'
The UN envoy touched on several other pressing issues in Afghanistan, including civilian casualties from the conflict, refugees, regional trade developments, and Afghanistan's new penal code, which he called a milestone in the country's criminal justice reform.
Throughout his remarks, Yamamoto referred to the importance of women
He stressed their important role in elections, and noted that the UN is working with the Independent Election Commission to ensure women's participation at all stages, as candidates, campaigners and voters.
In closing, the envoy said that the UN has important tasks ahead this year, including the upcoming elections and the Ministerial Conference on Afghanistan, which he said the United Nations looks forward to hosting with Afghanistan in Geneva on 28 November.

Cuttack, May 26 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday charged Odisha’s Biju Janata Dal government with misleading the people on Mahanadi water dispute with Chhattisgarh.
Addressing a gathering in Cuttack on completion of four years of his government, he said the Odisha government is responsible for the Mahanadi issue, having admitted on the floor of the Assembly that over half of the surplus Mahanadi water flows unused into the sea.
“In the Assembly, the state government has accepted that more than 50 per cent of Mahanadi water drains into the sea. The state government failed to utilise the surplus and unused Mahanadi water for the benefit of the farmers,” he said, hitting out that the Naveen Patnaik government for not harnessing the state’s other five major rivers for the state’s benefit.
He said the Central government tried to resolve the Mahanadi issue, but the state government did not cooperate.
Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari had tried to resolve the water sharing dispute and the proposal to constitute a tribunal was also discarded, said Modi.
Modi said that several irrigation projects were delayed for so long.
“Why the state government has delayed various irrigation projects and pushed up the project costs by 4 to 5 times? Why have the farmers of Odisha been left in the lurch? However, the Central government has taken the responsibility of bringing a change for farmers and ensuring water reaches their farmland,” he asked.
He also attacked the BJD government for lack of health facilities in the state.
Holding the Patnaik government responsible for farmers’ plight, Modi said his government is relentlessly working for the development of farmers across India but the Odisha government has failed in its part to do the same.


Nearly 18 days since the Centre's decision to scrap Article 370 and 35A, a central team comprising Intelligence officials reached out to the regional leaders including former Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti who have been under detention since the announcement.
Sources said that the team comprising senior IB and RAW officials met the leaders. They also said that the special team camped in Srinagar for two days and returned back on Friday.
The discussion largely focused on easing the leaders back into the Valley. While Omar Abdullah is in Hari Niwas Palace, Mehbooba Mufti has been put up in Chashme Shahi. According to the reports, while the leaders will be allowed to meet their relatives, they will be allowed to meet political leaders later.
Sources said the Centre's move and stated position have been at completely different.
When the decision was announced, the regional leaders had said that J&K will face adverse consequences as a result of the abrogation. However, the state has largely remained peaceful since the announcement.
Sources said that while the Centre has not allowed mainstream leaders to visit Kashmir, citing law and order situation and prohibitory orders, the decision to finally ease-out regional leaders has been taken, keeping in view the important international developments in the next one-two months.
A top source said the upcoming address of PM Narendra Modi in the United Nations assembly may not have a direct impact on FATF meetings but India does not want to give the platform to Pakistan to raise the issue.
On the international front, India is conscious of the ramification of holding the leaders for too long. Even the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have been refrained from going to the Valley.

ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Finance, Rana Muhammad Afzal Khan said Monday that the situation regarding domestic borrowing is not alarming.
Responding to a motion under Rule 218 in Senate sponsored by PPPP Senator lawmaker Sherry Rehman, on increases in domestic debt of the country, the minister said that efforts were underway to control the trade deficit.
The minister said that there was a mechanism on debt management that limits domestic debt to certain percent of GDP, adding that the government has to tell the Parliament if the debt exceeds that particular limit.
He recalled that the domestic debt was higher in 2013 when the incumbent government came into power. Borrowing decreased in the tenure of the current government while foreign reserves doubled compared to what the government had inherited in 2013.
He further elaborated that an ideal situation is when the value of imports and exports match, and that Pakistan needs some time to get to that position.
The minister said that the economy was improving and efforts were underway to control inflation.

Community Development Mother and Child Health Deputy Minister, Dorothy Kazunga says her ministry will work with the community in the setting up of the Cash Transfer Scheme to help families of street children.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today, Ms Kazunga said the scheme cannot work without the help of the community as they are the ones who know the children who roam the streets and the homes they come from.
She said this would also discourage parents from sending their children to the streets so they can benefit from the scheme.
Ms Kazunga said she is optimistic the scheme will be a success as her ministry already has the structure that will help in achieving the goals the program hopes to achieve.
She also said that even though some of the street kids would still go back to the streets, government would have done its part in helping its people have a better life.
The Deputy Minister disclosed that the scheme will be launched as soon as funds are received and proper mechanism is established.
The aim of the scheme is to better the lives of street children and ease the burden on the families they come from.


TEHRAN (Basirat) : Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the country has successfully dealt with the pressure of sanctions, stressing that the US and Israeli plots to harm the Islamic Republic have been defeated.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Rouhani said the Iranian administration and nation have succeeded in riding out the storm of sanctions over the past 18 months.
“We can firmly announce today that the plots by the US, the global arrogance, Zionism and the regional reactionary (regimes) for doing serious harm (to Iran) have ended (in failure),” he said, adding that the adversaries acknowledge that the Islamic Republic has gotten through the critical conditions.
Asked about the European states’ obedience to the US government and the prospect of Iran’s ties with the UK and France, Rouhani said the three European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal (the UK, France and Germany) have failed to fulfill their promises.
The president also pointed to Iran’s decision to reduce commitments to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), saying the homegrown IR-7 and IR-9 centrifuge machines are going to spin soon.
He also reiterated that Tehran will reverse its decisions about reducing commitments to the JCPOA as soon as the other parties rectify their behavior.
Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the JCPOA after the US withdrawal, but the three EU parties to the deal (France, Britain, and Germany) have failed to ensure Iran’s economic interests.
However, the EU’s inaction forced Tehran to stop honoring certain commitments to the nuclear deal, including a rise in the stockpile of enriched uranium.
Iran maintains that the new measures are not designed to harm the JCPOA but to save the accord by creating a balance in the commitments.


According to a new report we are starting to see the devastating impact of what we already knew about financial vulnerability among Indigenous people.
The Centre for Social Impact (CSI) and First Nations Foundation released a new policy response to the COVID-19 disease to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are kept financially safe over the coming months.
Lead researcher Dr Megan Weier said that while COVID-19 has already had significant impacts on Australians, it is those most vulnerable including Indigenous communities that will feel the effects the most.
“Crisis measures such as social distancing, business closures and worldwide economic stresses have led to an increase in unemployment - but it’s Indigenous people who are already experiencing high levels of financial stress who are going to be hardest hit by an economic recession,” Dr Weier said.
“Stimulus packages should consider the impact of location when allocating stimulus payments. Where possible, community leaders and financial counsellors should be consulted to determine the priorities for government spending to help reduce economic stress.

ISLAMABAD: FATA four senators, while announcing their support to the ruling alliance’s move to impeach the President, said that the president’s resignation before the process of impeachment would be in the interest of the nation.

The statement further said that innocent persons including the key-personalities and tribal Maliks were killed due to his wrong policies.

IT was added incentive for members of the Vodafone Fiji under-20 side that qualified for the FIFA U20 World Cup to be held in New Zealand next year.
The Fiji Football Association promised the players and officials would share $50,000 but instead they were given about $65,000 during a gala dinner night on Saturday.
The players and officials also received the medals for their victory at the Ming Du Restaurant in presence of their parents, friends and club reps.
Fiji FA president Rajesh Patel said the players and their parents deserved the honour.
"We thank the players for the hard work on the field and we thank their parents for their support and sacrifice," he said.
"It's a very special and wonderful occasion and we have to reward the people who deserve it.
"That is the reason we did it professionally this year instead of just calling them and giving them their rewards."
Team coach Ravinesh Kumar said the gesture from Fiji FA was wonderful and the players would definitely be motivated by it.
"It's something that the players didn't expect but it's something they deserve," he said.
He said the onus was on the players now to improve on their fitness and skill levels for the upcoming tours and games.


- Premier says federal govt will increase already announced relief package for the flood-affected areas
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday announced maximum relief to the people affected by recent torrential rains in various parts of the country, Aaj News reported.
Addressing a National Assembly (NA) session in the federal capital, he said the federal government will increase the already announced relief package for the flood-affected people.
He said a meeting has been convened tomorrow (Thursday) to discuss the provision of relief to the affected people.
The premier said that the federal government, through the National Disaster Management Authority, will work with provincial governments to help the farmers who suffered losses due to rains.
The premier also assured the lawmakers that their recommendations will be given due consideration in taking decisions at tomorrow’s meeting.
During his address, the prime minister also talked about the country's faltering economy and the troubles that the government faced in its effort to rectify the situation.
The premier said that the 1973 constitution will continue to guide and strengthen Pakistan in the years to come.
Talking about the 2018's elections, PM Shehbaz said that those polls were the worst in the country's history. "Those polls imposed a government through the process of rigging," he added.
"The Results Transmission System (RTS) was closed at night and the counting of votes was stopped by the order of the former chief justice," he added.
The premier further said that the coalition government was focused on "saving the state rather than focusing on political point-scoring."
"I was offered to become the prime minister by a president in 1992; Musharraf also offered me the PM's post, and when Nawaz Sharif offered me the premiership, I chose to serve Punjab instead to complete the mega projects," the premier said.
