The 60,000-capacity venue will be the largest stadium used during the FIFA Arab Cup and will also host the tournament's final match on December 18, when Qatar will also celebrate its National Day.
On the significance of the design, Al Hajri said it was inspired by bayt al sha'ar the traditional tents used by people across the region. He said the design illustrates Qatar's history, culture and heritage. He highlighted that the design represents not only Qatar but also the wider region.
On sustainability features the stadium has, he said that the project used solar energy for lighting around the stadium, took care to recycle waste and used recycled water for irrigation.
“We also recycled some of the materials found during the drilling phase. For instance, we used the rocks found during drilling in the construction of the two large restaurants surrounding the stadium. We also used telephone poles from Ooredoo during the construction of the restaurants, while other materials were recycled and used for sculptures in and around the stadium,” he added.
On the stadium's legacy, He said that the stadium is currently one of the biggest of the world.
However, he noted that following the conclusion of the World Cup next year, 30,000 seats will be removed and the vacated area will be turned into exhibition and wedding halls, to serve the needs of the Al Khor and Al Thakhira communities.
“It really is a one-of kind development in the world. It has superb facilities, including a hotel with 96 rooms. Post-2022, the hotel will have two cinema theatres, a shopping mall and a recreation and food hall,” he said.

(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan and Scotland are all set to open their World Cup qualifying campaign in Zimbabwe today (Sunday), with both sides looking determined to win.
On the eve of the qualifier for next year's ICC Cricket World Cup, which will be played in England, Afghanistan chief coach Phil Simmons sounded optimistic.
In an interview, he dispelled the impression that Afghanistan were the favourites to win the match. Afghanistan are placed in Group B along with Scotland, Hong Kong, Nepal and Zimbabwe.
"I am not putting the 'favourites' tag on me. We have just come here to play cricket, we need to play proper cricket and win this tournament," Simmons said in an ICC statement.
The 54-year-old, who played in 26 Tests and 143 ODIs for the West Indies, said he wanted to win all the time. And the more they would win, the easier it would become for them in the Super Six stage.
"You win the Super Six stage, you are in the World Cup as well as in the final. That's how we look at it," he said ahead of the Afghan-Scot encounter at the Bulawayo Athletic Club.
The two teams finding their way to the final will earn spots at the 2019 World Cup, hosted by England and Wales.
For his part, Scotland head coach Grant Bradburn said: "Preparations have gone really well and we are really looking forward to getting stuck into game one.
€œAfghanistan are a good team, with match-winners, so we'll have huge respect for them. But we've done our homework and we'll certainly have no fear. We've beaten them before.
Group A consists of Ireland, the West Indies, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and Papua New Guinea.

The statement has been posted on the official website of the Department of State, Ukrinform reports.
'Fourteen years ago today, Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Georgia,' the statement said.
It added that since 2008, the United States remembers those killed and injured by Russian forces.

The people of Georgia know all too well how Russia's aggressive actions, including disinformation, so-called 'borderization,' and mass displacement cause untold hardships and destruction,' Blinken said.
He added that Russia must be accountable to the commitments it made under the 2008 ceasefire – withdrawing its forces to pre-conflict positions and allowing unfettered access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance. In addition, he noted that Russia must reverse its recognition of Georgia's Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) AFC - The Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine against Covid-19 is "safe" and "tolerated" by children aged 5 to 11 years, to whom the adapted dose generates a "robust" immune response, according to the results of a study announced Monday.
The vaccines administered to this group contain a lower dose, but generate a reaction "comparable" to that observed in patients between 16 and 25 years of age, they indicated in their statement.
They also stated that they will send this data to the authorities "as soon as possible."
This is the first clinical data for this age group.
The drug regulatory agencies of the European Union and the United States had licensed Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, both based on messenger RNA technology, for 12 years.
Due to the spread of the delta variant, "since July, pediatric cases of Covid-19 had increased 240% in the United States, signaling the need for vaccination," said Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer.
The doses of the drug in this group are 10 micrograms per injection, instead of the 30 given to older groups.
Its side effects are "generally comparable" to those seen in people ages 16 to 25, the labs noted.
They are partial results of a study carried out on 4,500 children between 6 months and 11 years old in the United States, Finland, Poland and Spain.
The two companies expect to publish in the fourth quarter the results of the range between 2 and 5 years and 6 months to two years, which received injections of 3 micrograms.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Sana'a: A car bomb near a mosque in Yemen's capital yesterday killed two people, as Saudi-led warplanes bombarded second city Aden, after peace talks in Geneva ended without agreement.
The explosion in Sana'a, controlled by Iran-backed Shia Houthi rebels, went off outside Kobbat Al Mehdi mosque as Shias emerged from noon prayers, witnesses and security sources said.
Sixteen were wounded, medical officials said. The blast damaged the entrance of the mosque and shattered the windows of a nearby house. The Islamic State claimed responsibility, SITE Intelligence Group reported, the latest in a series that has targeted Sana'a the Houthi rebels seized in September.
Since then they have expanded control to other parts of Sunni-majority Yemen, including Aden in the south, forcing president Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi and his government to flee to Saudi Arabia.
The car attack came hours after Saudi-led warplanes launched 15 strikes against Houthi targets in the port city of Aden.
A pro-government military source said the dawn strikes pounded the northern, eastern and western approaches to Aden to isolate the Houthis and support forces loyal to Hadi. "The aim is to close the noose around the Houthi rebels in Aden and assist the Popular Resistance Committees," said the source. Anti-rebel forces comprising pro-government fighters, Sunni tribes and southern separatists are referred to as Popular Resistance Committees.

(MENAFN - The Peninsula) QNA
Texas A and M University at Qatar has concluded its Engineering Explorers STEM enrichment program with the participation of 36 students in grades 7 through 9 from eight local schools across Qatar.
The four-day program aimed to familiarise young students with engineering and the science behind it. The program included science activities, hands-on engineering projects and contests to challenge students' math and science skills.
Students learned about science concepts, design, teamwork and creativity through interactive activities conducted in Texas A and M at Qatar's STEM Hub, funded by Qatar National Research Fund.
The workshops during Engineering Explorers STEM enrichment program were designed to interest students in pursuing engineering and science career paths to develop the scientific workforce Qatar needs to reach the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.
Built around the engineering design and fabrication processes, Engineering Explorers teaches students how to solve problems systematically and understand how to implement science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) basics into their future science projects.

Canadian firms record decrease in revenues in 3rd quarter
(MENAFN) Canadian corporations recorded a plummet of 8.1 percent, or USD12.1 billion, in net revenue before taxes (NIBT) in the July-September period, based on official figures issued on Wednesday.
The decrease was because of a decline in both the economic sector with 11.6 percent and the non-economic sector with 6.7 percent, as stated by Statistics Canada.
NIBT of oil and natural gas extraction fell 3.4 percent to USD14.1 billion as a result of less energy cost in the mentioned period.
Costs of crude energy goods plummeted 10.6 percent in the same quarter, as read by the declaration.
"The decline of crude oil exports to the United States in part caused a decrease in the profitability of the oil and gas sector, as the United States increased their supply by releasing more barrels of oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve," it added.
While the sales of refined petroleum went down by 8 percent, NIBT of petroleum and coal product manufacturing saw a big decrease of 61.7 percent, or USD5 billion, in the same months.

Kuwait- Lavrov calls on Syrian parties to OK ceasefire parameters
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) MOSOCW, Feb 26 (KUNA) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday called on all parties in Syria to approve parameters of a ceasefire envisaged by a UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution on a 30-day ceasefire in Syria.
Speaking at a joint news conference with his visiting Portuguese counterpart Augusto Santos Silva, Lavrov said UNSC Resolution 2401 could not be applied to terrorist groups, mainly the so-called Islamic State (IS) and Al-Nusra Front.
He added that the truce becomes effective, once warring parties reach an agreement on how to put it in place in all Syrian territories.
The Russian foreign minister criticized recent reports on the Syrian forces' use of chemical weapons in Eastern Ghouta as "provocative".
The UN Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted a draft resolution presented by Kuwait and Sweden to establish a 30-day humanitarian truce in Syria.
The resolution will pave way for the delivery of humanitarian aid for the areas under siege in Syria. (end) as.mt

(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
NASA is funding research to develop tiny, swimming robots that could search these darkened depths for marine extra-terrestrials.
Plumes of liquid water erupt into space through fissures in Enceladus's frozen surface and when NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew through that cosmic mist, it detected interesting molecules that are often associated with the presence of life, like methane.
NASA engineer Ethan Schaler has developed a concept involving an ice-melting probe and a school of cell phone-size aquatic drones to explore such eerie environments. It's called Sensing With Independent Micro-Swimmers (SWIM), and it has recently received funding to create and test 3D-printed prototypes.
“With a swarm of small swimming robots, we are able to explore a much larger volume of ocean water and improve our measurements by having multiple robots collecting data in the same area,” Schaler said in a statement.
The project has recently received $600,000 in a second round of funding from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program. Known as SWIM, the project was also previously awarded $125,000 in phase one NIAC funds to conduct a feasibility study and come up with a design.
The triangular swimming robots could be loaded into a larger“cryobot” design that tunnels its way through the ice by melting it, perhaps using radiation. Cryobot concepts are currently in development through other NASA programs.

(MENAFN) The US alerted of "catastrophic consequences" if Moscow used nuclear weapons in Ukraine, following Russia's foreign minister's statement that regions holding widely criticized referendums would be fully protected if annexed.
On Sunday, votes in four eastern Ukrainian regions aimed at annexing territory taken by force mostly since Russia's invasion in February were held for a third day. Within days, the Russian parliament could vote to formalize the annexation.
By trying to incorporate the four areas of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia into Russia, Moscow could portray retaking them as an attack on Russia itself, a warning to Kyiv and its Western allies.
Because Ukrainian troops are using Western weapons, the Russian annexations raise the prospect of a direct military confrontation between Russia and NATO.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Sunday that if Russia used nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the US would respond decisively, and that the US had warned Moscow of the "catastrophic consequences."
“If Russia crosses this line, there will be catastrophic consequences for Russia. The United States will respond decisively,” Sullivan informed a news agency.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Gold prices in Dubai and worldwide rose on Wednesday morning as a bigger-than-expected rise in US inflation boosted bullion's appeal as a hedge and weighed on the dollar and Treasury yields.
Global spot gold prices rose 0.6 per cent to $1,743 per ounce by 9.15am UAE time, while US gold futures were steady at $1,747.40 per ounce.
Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group data showed that 24K retail gold price rose to Dh211.25 per gram on Wednesday morning as compared to Dh210.50 on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, 22K, 21K and 18K prices rose to Dh198.25, Dh189.25 and Dh162.25, respectively.
Consumer prices in the US soared by the highest in more than 8 1/2 years in March, setting off what most economists expect to be a fleeting spell of higher inflation.
The US dollar also fell to three-week lows, making gold cheaper for holders of other currencies, while benchmark 10-year Treasury yields also inched down.
Concerns posed by a suggestion of US health officials to delay the use of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine also supported safe-haven gold.

(MENAFN) The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, announced on Saturday the establishment of a media monitoring unit aimed at documenting and exposing Israeli crimes and violations in Gaza.
Taha made this announcement during the opening speech of a meeting of OIC information ministers held in Istanbul. The purpose of the unit is to ensure that accurate information regarding the "Palestinian crisis" is made available to the international community.
Emphasizing the importance of closely monitoring Israel's attacks on Gaza through news outlets, Taha highlighted that the content produced by the media monitoring unit will be accessible from the OIC website. He asserted that Israel is attempting to conceal the truth and the crimes it has committed in the region while seeking to silence journalists to keep the reality of the situation hidden from the international community.
The Israeli offensive on Gaza, initiated after a cross-border attack by resistance Palestinian group Hamas on October 7, has resulted in a significant loss of life, with more than 29,600 people reported killed and widespread destruction and shortages of essential supplies. The conflict has forced 85 percent of Gaza's population into internal displacement, exacerbating shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while 60 percent of the enclave's infrastructure has suffered damage or destruction, according to UN reports.
Moreover, Israel is facing accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, with an interim ruling issued in January directing Tel Aviv to cease genocidal acts and ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza.

New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) Almost a month after its formation, the Joint Committee of Parliamentarians has invited suggestions from people on the Biological Diversity (Amendment) Bill, 2021 that was introduced in the Lok Sabha last month.
The Joint Committee put out a notice in public domain, including advertisements in main newspapers, on Sunday inviting 'memoranda containing views/suggestions from the public in general and NGOs/experts/stakeholders and institutions in particular.'
The deadline given is 15 days from the publication of the advertisement.
The Committee is expected to submit a report by the last day of the first week of next Session, which would mean before or by February 6. Lok Sabha member Dr Sanjay Jaiswal (BJP) is the chairperson of the Joint Committee.
Earlier, Rajya Sabha Member and Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Bhupender Yadav had moved that the Bill be referred to the Joint Committee of the two Houses on December 20.
Yadav had introduced the Bill in the Lok Sabha on December 16 amid din by the opposition members. There was no debate on the issue and the House was soon adjourned. The government then sent the Bill to a Select Committee. A day after that, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had expressed 'strongest possible protest' that the government had referred the Bill to a Select Committee and not to the Parliamentary Standing Committee.
Apart from Dr Jaiswal, members of the Committee from the Lok Sabha are Diya Kumari (BJP), Dr Heena Vijaykumar Gavit (BJP), Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), Raju Bista (BJP), Pallab Lochan Das (BJP), Santosh Pandey (SP), Prathap Simha (BJP), Jugal Kishore Sharma (BJP) and others.

OPEC+ intends to prolong oil output cuts amid market support, geopolitical tensions
(MENAFN) According to three sources within the OPEC+ alliance who spoke with Reuters, there are deliberations underway regarding the extension of voluntary oil production cuts into the second quarter of 2024. The purpose of such an extension would be to offer additional support to the oil market, which has seen price fluctuations amidst various geopolitical tensions. Notably, two of the sources indicated that there's a possibility these cuts could be prolonged until the end of the year.
This move follows the agreement made in November, where OPEC+ members committed to voluntary cuts amounting to approximately 2.2 million barrels per day throughout the first quarter of the current year. Noteworthy among these commitments was Saudi Arabia's decision to prolong its voluntary reduction in production.
One of the factors buoying oil prices this year has been the escalation of geopolitical tensions, notably highlighted by the Yemeni Houthi movement's attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. These incidents have contributed to the market's volatility, with Brent crude hovering around USD83 per barrel as of recent trading sessions.
An unnamed source within OPEC+, speaking to Reuters under the condition of anonymity, suggested that extending production cuts into the second quarter appears "likely." Furthermore, there's speculation among two of the sources that extending these cuts until the end of the year remains a viable option.
As of the beginning of April, the total production cuts under the current agreement are set to reach 3.66 million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia has indicated its willingness to continue these cuts beyond the first quarter if deemed necessary.
However, it's worth noting that despite these discussions among sources within OPEC+, the matter has not yet been officially addressed within the alliance.

(MENAFN- Robotics & Automation News) An electric field is used to store electrical energy in capacitors, which are essential circuit board components. They are widely used in electronic devices.
We call this phenomenon capacitor leakage when energy leaks from these devices. There's a problem with capacitor leakage, especially in applications where accurate electrical energy control is crucial.
Potential reliability issues and performance inefficiencies in circuits may result from this phenomenon.
With the help of electronic component search engines such as Partstack, you can find top-notch capacitors that are designed to work reliably and last a long time in all kinds of electronic devices.
To keep capacitors operating at their best, we'll examine preventative strategies and the reasons for capacitor leaking in this blog post.

(MENAFN- ING) Hungary: Economic activity is gradually improving
In Hungary, next week is about economic activity data as the Statistical Office is releasing the December figures of retail sales and industrial production. The December manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) provided a significant upside shock and despite the year-end holiday season, we see an improving performance in industry. This will be complemented by rising retail sales. Despite month-on-month growth being moderate, in our view, last year's low base will help to nudge the yearly base reading higher. Eventually, with these positive outcomes in December, the 4Q21 GDP growth could provide a nice upside surprise.
Turkey: Inflation spiral continues
In January, significant adjustments in administrative prices including electricity, natural gas, tobacco and alcohol, and gasoline, as well as continuing pass-through from recent large currency volatility already point to another sharp increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Accordingly, we expect annual inflation to rise further up to 45.2% (8.5% on a monthly basis) from 36.1% in December.

(MENAFN) The disruption of two critical global trade routes, the Panama and Suez canals, is posing a threat to worldwide supply chains, as reported by a UK-based news agency on Friday, citing ship owners and operators.
The Panama Canal, a 50-mile-long waterway connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, is grappling with the impact of drought, resulting in a diminished water level and a consequent reduction in the canal's throughput capacity.
In contrast to the 238 vessels that traversed the canal during the first week of December 2022, this year saw only 167, according to trade analysis group MarineTraffic.
Many ships experienced delays of up to two weeks, leading to a bottleneck and prompting some vessels to take detours spanning thousands of miles to avoid costly delays, as reported by the canal authority.
“That drought in the Panama Canal is a serious concern,” Rolf Habben Jansen, chief of German group Hapag-Lloyd, the fifth biggest owner of container ships in the whole world, reported to the news network. The firm previously declared that it would reroute more than 42 of its ships away from the waterway.
Simultaneously, there are growing concerns about the Suez Canal, which links the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. In the wake of heightened hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Houthi rebels based in Yemen launched attacks on cargo vessels in the Red Sea, located just 11,500 kilometers from the canal, as a demonstration of support for Hamas. Although the attacks are purportedly targeting only ships associated with Israel, experts caution that they could potentially disrupt the canal's operations.
“If the passage through the Suez would become more difficult [as well], that could cause serious disruptions [to global supply chains],” Hapag-Lloyd’s Jansen declared. Analysts observe that any disruptions to shipping would inevitably result in a surge in prices.
