(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama)
Moody's rating agency has moved the outlook for four Panama state companies, from stable to negative.
In October Moody's said that the lack of reforms in the CSS denotes weaknesses in policy management and represents a factor that, if not corrected, will materially undermine Panama's credit profile and negatively affect the sovereign credit outlook.
This concern led the rating agency to change its outlook on Tocumen International Airport, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), the Electric Transmission Company (Etesa) and the National Highway Company from stable to negative.

UK PM Says Gov't Now Able To Cut Taxes
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) LONDON, 20 (KUNA) -- UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said his target of halving inflation had been met so taxes would be reduced in "a responsible way", British media reported on Monday.
He refused to comment on "speculation" about changes to individual taxes and said there would be more details in Wednesday's Autumn Statement.
But the PM said the government could now move to "the next phase" of its plan to grow the economy.
Last week the government said it had met its pledge to halve inflation, the rate prices are rising, after the figure fell sharply to 4.6 percent in October.
The decrease was largely due to lower global energy prices. (end)

Diss radio station awarded for services during pandemic
Park Radio has been recognised as a community hero by South Norfolk Council for its broadcasting during the coronavirus crisis.
Last week, the station’s founder, Chris Moyse, accepted a Covid-19 Community Champions Award, which has been given out to local businesses and organisations that have provided invaluable help and support to the community during the pandemic.
Mr Moyse, who also presents a morning show on the station, said the award highlighted how community radio was a crucial asset during times of crisis.
“We didn’t decide to keep going through the pandemic to win an award – we did it because, when it comes to emergencies like this, radio comes into its own,” said Mr Moyse, who founded the station 10 years ago alongside fellow broadcaster John Cross.
“South Norfolk Council didn’t launch the awards until well into the pandemic and, when they were open for nominations, we clearly had a few listeners and advertisers who thought we were doing a good job.”
South Norfolk Council praised the station, which has over 40 people working there, both voluntarily and professionally.
A spokesman for the council said: “We gave them the award for all of the brilliant work they were doing to keep the people of Diss and Harleston informed – they were broadcasting important numbers and websites, and where people who were in need of help could go.”
The team at the station, which operates out of Diss Youth and Community Centre in Shelfanger Road, were presented with a certificate and a badge.

Port Harcourt – The National Youth Council of Ogoni People (NYCOP) has urged the Rivers Government to follow due process in implementing its amnesty programme for repentant cultists and criminals in Ogoni.
NYCOP’s President, Dr Young Nkpah, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Nkpah, who was reacting to the amnesty offer by the state government, said that the government neglected recognised Ogoni institutions in the exercise.
According to him, the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, KaGOTE and NYCOP were never consulted by the representatives of government.
He said that it was crucial for the government to liaise with relevant traditional institutions for the amnesty programme to succeed.
It would be recalled that following the resurgence of violence in Ogoni, the state government recently approved the granting of amnesty to repentant criminal gangs and cultists.
NAN reports that the state government had refused to offer state pardon to repentant cultists in Ogoni due to alleged failure to submit their weapons.
Mr Ken Chindah, head of the state government’s amnesty committee, had said that the weapons submitted were not commensurate with the level of violence in the area.
However, Nkpah said that the process would have been successful if the state government had worked with the people and recognised institutions in Ogoni.
“Now they are saying that arms submitted were not enough and were not proportionate to the level of violence in Ogoni.
“I think that better results would have been achieved if the people were involved, at least, Ogoniland is owned by people,’’ he said.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has said many lives would have been lost yesterday if it were not for the diligence of two officers who were killed during a car explosion outside the Pangani Police station yesterday.
The two were among four people who died when a car they were escorting to the Pangani Police station was blown up last night.
Speaking during a pass out ceremony for GSU officers today, President Kenyatta thanked the two officers and other officers who have lost their lives while protecting Kenyans.
The President reiterated his government's commitment to providing the police force with the necessary tools to enforce the law while also providing for the officers welfare.
He said the government is committed to fighting crime "in whatever form it may take."
The President sought to assure Kenyans that the war against crime is not a war against any community or religion saying that the war is against criminals who seek to harm other Kenyans and those who seek to terrorise and cause fear amongst kenyans.
He further thanked members of the public who have provided information to the police leading to arrest of criminals as well as those who have surrendered weapons stating that they will not be arrested but rehabilitated to ensure that they become "productive rather than destructive members of society."
He said his government is working to ensure youth have jobs so as to improve their lives and ensure they avoid criminal activities.
President Kenyatta also told officers graduating during the ceremony that they "graduate with the full authority to enforce but also obey the law."
He further asked the officers to respect Kenyans while carrying out the duties so that they may work with curbing criminal activities.


When someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, the people nearby often call 911, but those dispatched to the scene are often law enforcement officers and not mental health professionals, and that poses a conundrum for authorities, said Austin police Lt. Brian Jones.
Officers responding to these calls must be prepared for anything, even death. At least two deadly police shootings this year involved individuals who authorities later determined were experiencing mental health crises.
Few in the Austin Police Department would understand these challenging situations better than Jones, who helps oversee the teams of officers trained to respond to mental health emergency calls. He said the department has provided training for several officers on how to interact with people who are mentally ill and has partnered with local mental health agency Austin Travis County Integral Care.
Last year, Austin police fielded about 11,000 mental health calls, and more than 5,000 of those calls resulted in emergency detentions, Jones said. He spoke with the American-Statesman about the ways the Police Department prepares its officers to handle these situations.

Government has said the budget that will be tabled in Parliament will focus on mitigating the impact of food shortages in the country.
Minister of Finance, Goodall Gondwe, will table the 2016/2017 budget in the meeting of Parliament which is expected to start on Friday.
In an interview on Wednesday, Gondwe said because of food shortage in the country, allocations will have to be reduced so that it goes towards that area.
“We have not produced enough food, we have to import food into the country. However, people do not have money. As a result, when we bring the food from outside the country, it will be difficult for people to buy. We will have to find ways of getting money to rural areas, for example. The budget will have to be concerned about that also,” Gondwe said.
He added: “We are going to do something about all these problems. It means also we may reduce some of the things we always do to get food to eat.”
Gondwe said food shortage has affected many parts of Southern Africa.
“Unlike in other times when some neighbouring countries had food, and we were importing from those countries, now we have the surrounding countries also having food challenges. This means we have to go much further and even outside Africa to import food,” Gondwe said.
Business Committee of Parliament is expected to meet on Thursday. However, apart from the national budget, Members of Parliament are expected to tackle bills that were not handled in the last meeting of parliament. One of the most notable bills is Access to Information.
The MPs are also expected to discuss bills that were referred to commi t tees for further scrutiny. One of such bills is Communications Bill.

“It is safe to say that no single country can overcome these challenges alone,” he added, emphasizing the importance for global solidarity and collaboration to fight these difficulties.
“However, in my judgment,” he continued, “the main issue is lack of trust among states.”
Karagoz cited Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu who called this situation “a vicious cycle.”
“He basically said that this lack of dialogue feeds distrust and distrust leads to division and polarization. And these divisions prevent any dialogue again,” Karagoz went on to say. “So we need to break this vicious cycle.”

BARRINGTON HILLS – For the third year in a row, the Barrington Hills Board of Trustees voted to lower the property tax levy.
The reduction could result in savings to homeowners for the village’s portion of property taxes, according to a news release from the village.
Administrative and departmental restructuring and the consolidation of emergency dispatch services are part of what allowed the requested levy to decrease, according to the news release.
The village requested a $5.3 million levy, compared to the $6.1 million received in 2016, the release said.
The village is operating with a $7.5 million budget, down from the $7.9 million budget last year, and the $8.4 million budget from 2013, according to the release.
Through that time, the village has been able to increase cash reserves and paved more streets than in the past decade, according to the release.
Village President Martin McLaughlin said in the release that he and the board would like to see other taxing bodies – such as the counties, townships, fire districts, school districts and the state – follow the Barrington Hills Board of Trustees’ lead and recognize the need for property tax relief.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Tuesday held talks with Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The two ministers discussed ways to enhance cooperation and coordination within the framework of the Jordanian-European partnership, which is witnessing continuous development in various fields.
On regional issues, the discussions focused on efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution and to ensure necessary support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which suffers from a severe financial deficit. The Kingdom is exerting intensive efforts with international and regional partners to bridge the agency's budget deficit.
Talks also focused on finding a political solution to the Syrian crisis, supporting refugees and host countries, aiding Iraq and fighting terrorism.
On the issue of refugees, Safadi pointed out that the low support for refugees is“worrying”. He praised the important role played by Finland and its contribution to international efforts to provide humanitarian support to refugees and keep their cause on the international community's agenda.
Safadi also expressed appreciation of the Finnish support to UNRWA, indicating that Finland is among the 20 countries that mainly support the agency.
He pointed out that the subject of supporting the agency is at the forefront of the agenda of his current tour, which includes Norway, Finland and Sweden, to ensure that the necessary funding is secured for the agency to continue its vital services to Palestinian refugees.
Safadi voiced his aspiration to meet his Swedish counterpart Wednesday, to move forward with efforts aimed to mobilise international support for the agency.
He added that Jordan and Finland share many values, stressing that Finland is a strong partner of Jordan.
In turn, Haavisto welcomed Safadi, highlighting the depth of the relations between the two countries, pointing to the consensus on many issues, including climate change and human rights.
The Finnish foreign minister stressed that the Kingdom's role is central to efforts to establish peace and stability in the region.
Haavisto touched on the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the economies of many countries in the Middle East, including Jordan.
He underlined his country's readiness to help Jordan in facing the repercussions of the pandemic.
He also praised the levels of cooperation between Jordan and Finland, especially in the areas of innovation and technology.
Haavisto praised Jordan's leading role in hosting refugees, stressing that his country will continue to provide support to UNRWA and organisations specialised in supporting refugees and their human rights.
He also expressed his concern about some developments in the region, especially in Lebanon, and their impact on neighbouring countries and the stability of the region.
In response to a question, Safadi referred to the efforts made by the Kingdom in coordination and cooperation with its partners in the US, Europe and the region to achieve a state of calm during the recent escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories and to stop the Israeli violations in Jerusalem and Al Aqsa Mosque, the aggression on the Gaza Strip as well as prevent the forced displacement of the people of Sheikh Jarrah, which would have constituted a war crime in accordance with international law.
Safadi also stressed that Jordan will continue its constant efforts to maintain calm and progress towards achieving a just and lasting peace on the basis of the two-state solution that ensures the establishment of the independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with Jerusalem as its capital, to live in security and peace alongside Israel in accordance with international law and the Arab Peace Initiative.
He said that Jordan is talking to everyone, including the Israeli government, in order to move towards a just peace to prevent a recurrence of the recent escalation and to stop all measures that undermine the two-state solution and the chances of achieving a just peace.
In response to a question about the issue of sedition, Safadi said that Jordan's stability is solid and sedition was nipped in the bud before it posed any threat to the security of the Kingdom, noting that the issue was dealt with according to the Jordanian approach distinguished by calm and wisdom.
He added that Jordan is now focusing on everything that is basic and necessary for its future and interests, namely the political reform that His Majesty the King formed a Royal committee to advance, as well as the economic reform that addresses economic challenges, ensures better performance of the Jordanian economy, fights poverty and creates job opportunities.

EU health organization cautions of worsening Covid-19 conditions
(MENAFN) On Wednesday, the head of the EU’s public health organization cautioned that the Covid-19 condition is going to worsen in the European Union in the upcoming two months except if the alliance presents new procedures and lifts the inoculation rate.
Based on the recent modeling scenarios from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the delta variant spread is going to force a high load on European communities unless governments present firmer public health procedures and raise vaccination of the whole population.
Andrea Ammon, ECDC Director declared in a statement, “there are still too many individuals at risk of severe COVID-19 infection whom we need to protect as soon as possible. We need to urgently focus on closing this immunity gap, offer booster doses to all adults, and reintroduce non-pharmaceutical measures.”
She stated that about 70 percent of the bloc’s adult population has been immunized which “gives ample room for the virus to spread,” and called on governments to contact people who have not been immunized ahead of the winter festive season.

ECONOMYNEXT – Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Bishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith have met and discussed the current status of the investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks.

Last week President Gotabaya Rajapaksa praised the commission saying important facts had been gleaned by it.
He also lauded the Parliamentary Select-Committee that investigated the incident saying that it had made important recommendations.

Former premier and senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Thursday announced the coalition government is forming a commission to probe the wrong decisions taken by former prime minister Imran Khan which led to massive losses in the petroleum sector.
Addressing a press conference flanked by Planning and Development Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Abbasi said, “A commission will be formed to examine the losses in the petroleum sector and will investigate the wrong decisions taken by the previous government.”
The ex-premier also mentioned that the commission’s investigation will be open to the public and the media, adding that reasons for the increase in circular debt will be bought forward. He said that the body would also help bring forth details of the increase in circular debt and the additional borrowing.
The PML-N leader further said that the flawed decisions made by the Imran-led cabinet had caused billions of losses to the country.
“The government has taken the reins of power two months ago,” he said. “The circumstances in which we took power were identified in November and December last year.”
Expressing his views, Ahsan Iqbal asserted that the previous government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf was directly responsible for the worst electricity load shedding situation prevalent across the country.
He said the then PTI government had failed to make agreements for purchasing cheap liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to which the LNG-based power projects with an installed capacity of over 3500 MW were shut down.
“This summer season is the season of PTI government’s mismanagement and ill planning, while the next summer season would be far better as the government would plan well,” he said while addressing the media here. Iqbal said the current government had to take tough decisions to set the country’s economy in the right direction.
He said it was the former PTI government that had put the economy on the verge of default. “If the PTI government would not have been ousted, the country would have defaulted by now,” he said. He agreed that in the current summer season, the people had to face many difficulties. However, Iqbal said the government was working day and night to minimise their difficulties.
The minister also held the PTI government’s mismanagement and incapability for the prevailing inflation in the country. The minister asked the PTI leadership to seek forgiveness from the nation for their wrongdoings during their four-year tenure.
Meanwhile, Federal Minister for Energy Engineer Khurram Dastgir said the government is working to enhance the energy production and would insert around 5000MW more electricity into the national grid by next year.


Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) vice president and MLC G N Monga Saturday said that youth had been the worst victim of the prevailing political situation in the state and held PDP-BJP alliance responsible for the same.
In a statement issued on Saturday, he said that after the Assembly elections of 2014 people especially youth had lot of expectations with the elected representatives. “However, in less than one year time, Governor’s rule has been imposed in the state twice as PDP and BJP have been playing politics over the miseries of the people,” Monga said.
“The prevailing situation has cost the state both politically as well as economically. Lakhs of educated but unemployed youth of the state had lot of expectations with their elected representatives. But instead of creating employment opportunities for them, the PDP and the BJP are playing politics over the issue of government formation,” the Congress leader said.
Asking both the parties to clear their stand over the issue ofgovernment formation, he said, “Both the parties need to clear their stand over the issue to clear the suspense. The state which has witnessed years of turmoil needed elected government to mitigate the sufferings of the people. However, both the BJP and the PDP failed the people of the state,” the Congress MLC added.
Monga also expressed serious concern over the ration shortage especially remote areas of the state. “People are suffering on account of ration and I appeal governor administration to look into the matter,” he said.

“After this, we will probably have Gaganyaan in 2023, which will undoubtedly place India fourth in the elite club of countries after the US, China and Russia,” he said.
The minister further said that the Gaganyaan program will be different from other manned missions by other countries in the sense that it will be more cost-effective and inclusive.
The program will establish India as a leading nation and improve the country’s capabilities as far as its robotic mission is concerned, he said, adding that it will also inspire youth and start-ups.
The minister said that apart from Gaganyaan, “we are going to do many other missions. We will have a Venus mission by 2023. Soon, we will have a solar mission called ‘Aditya Solar Mission’ for 2022-23.”
Singh said that Chandrayaan was delayed due to the Kovid epidemic and it will probably be launched by next year.
“By 2030, we will probably be able to set up a space station, which will be unique in its kind,” he said. He said that India’s journey to the top has already started from the space route.
When asked whether ISRO has identified 17 technologies for Gaganyaan at a cost less than the start-up, the minister said, “There are going to be several research modules with Gaganyaan and it will involve start-ups and more than 500 industries. Will be included.”
He said that for the first time after India’s independence private industry would be involved in space technology.
“As a result, we are now going to have a number of partnerships that we are trying to put into our mission for nanosatellites in collaboration with ISRO,” he said.
Singh said that a host of technologies can be innovated in a wide range of sectors involving the industry, which paves the way for the emergence of a new economy through space technology.
The Minister informed the Upper House that India has so far launched 42 foreign satellites from 34 countries and earned a revenue of USD 56 million.

Lahore: Ameer, Jamaat e islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has said that if the courts and the parliament failed to control corruption, the masses would have no option except to come on roads.
Talking to a delegation of MPAs and district government officials from Azad Kashmir in Islamabad on Thursday, he said that during the last seventy years, the corrupt elite had been plundering public money and assisting each other in loot. The present ruling system was essentially a system of exploitation and injustice.
He said that the feudal lords and capitalists took the general public simply as insects and after coming to power through public votes, they never looked back towards the poor voters.
Sirajul Haq said that the JI was continuing a drive to wipe out corruption. It had also held rallies, public meetings and moved the judiciary. He said the masses were united against the corrupt and desired their accountability. He said that since the parliament had disappointed the masses in this regard, the people should unite and join the JI campaign against the plunderers.


The vote on the development at O’Devaney Gardens is being deferred
The vote on the development at O’Devaney Gardens has been deferred.
It had been scheduled to take place at a Dublin City Council meeting tonight.
The controversial project is a mix of private, social and affordable units, but some members have criticised the prices at the new build.
A meeting with the Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy on the issue is now scheduled to take place as soon as possible.
Dublin Lord Mayor Paul McCaullife says the motion will be deferred for a month.


The Yuba City Unified School District governing board voted Tuesday during a special meeting to implement a five-day-per-week in-school model for the upcoming school year.
Doreen Osumi, superintendent of YCUSD, said the board was also presented with hybrid models which would have combined in-classroom education and virtual learning due to COVID-19.
However, the board voted to implement a more traditional model with guidelines in place.
Osumi said she believes that the board was concerned about the issue of childcare for working parents as well as instructional time that was lost during this last school year with distance learning.
She said while they are planning on going back to a five-day-per-week model, the district will need to make sure guidelines are being followed – such as social distancing and wearing facial coverings when that’s not possible.
“It is definitely going to need to be more controlled,” Osumi said. “... It’s not traditional as in how we were a year ago. With COVID-19 and all the precautions, (keeping) students and staff safe is our number one priority.”
She said one of the challenges is that there would be more students on campus compared to the hybrid models.
“That poses a challenge with safety,” Osumi said.
She said distance learning will be available for families whether it’s for health reasons or based on comfort level – more information is available on the district’s website.
Osumi said more information on reopening will be coming soon.

Doha: The United Nations has called the rich countries of the world responsible for the difficult lives of the people of other poor countries.
In this regard, while addressing the meeting regarding the development of poor countries in Doha, the capital of Qatar, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, blamed the rich countries as the main cause of poverty in the world. The Secretary General of the United Nations said that there are more than 40 countries in the world that are suffering from extreme poverty.
He said that the rich countries are putting pressure on the poor countries and harassing them with different tactics. Rich countries and big energy companies are putting pressure on developing and poor countries to increase interest rates, their action is highly condemnable.
According to Antonio Guterres, this is a vicious cycle in which the economies of poor countries are trapped and which hinders efforts to improve health and education in these countries.
The Secretary General of the UN said that the poor countries are going through the worst period of poverty, yet the behavior of the rich countries is not correcting. It seems that the rich countries designed the global financial system only for their own benefit.
He emphasized that rich countries should provide 500 billion dollars annually to help other countries so that they can come out of difficulties and their education, health and economic system can be improved.
He said that nothing has been done for the countries suffering from the disaster due to global climate change and the aid given to them is also negligible.
He further said that fuel related companies are making huge profits while millions of people in the world do not even have two meals a day.
