TASMANIA'S new health commission will focus on elective surgery, particularly waiting list and theatre management in the next stage of its state public health system investigation.
The independent commission's preliminary report released earlier this week identified the three-person commission's intention to ensure safety and quality of care in public health services.

(MENAFN) France's highest administrative court has upheld a decision to deny a French passport to an Algerian Muslim who refused to shake hands with officials during her citizenship ceremony, according to a ruling seen by AFP Thursday.
The woman argued that her religious beliefs prevented her from shaking hands with a senior official presiding over the citizenship ceremony in the southeastern Isere region in June 2016, as well as with a local politician.
"After solemnly handing her the naturalization decree, the secretary-general of the prefecture and a local elected representative extended a hand to her as a sign of welcome. But the woman refused these handshakes by invoking her religious beliefs," an official said.

China announces military spending increase amid rising threats
Amid growing tensions with the United States, India, Japan, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Russia, China has announced an increase in military spending.
The country’s leadership has cited increased security threats and the need to maintain its territorial integrity as reasons for the move.
The announcement comes as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout.
The Chinese government has vowed to continue investing in its military despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Analysts have raised concerns over the potential impact of the increased spending on the already strained relationships between China and its neighbors.
The move is likely to escalate tensions further and lead to a renewed arms race in the region.
The announcement has also drawn criticism from some quarters, with many questioning the need for increased military spending at a time when the world is facing multiple crises.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community will be closely watching China’s next moves and their potential impact on global security.


The U.N. in Malawi has launched an urgent appeal for aid to deal with the impact of a record cholera outbreak that has so far killed nearly 1,450 people and infected 45,000.
Local health experts say if urgent action isn’t taken to scale up the response, the number of cases could double in the next few months.
The U.N. says the flash appeal seeks to raise $45.3 million to provide life-saving aid to thousands of people in Malawi devastated by the outbreak.
In a statement released Monday, the U.N. said the appeal aims to assist four million people in Malawi, including 56,000 refugees and asylum seekers who are at the highest risk in the outbreak.
The current outbreak started in March last year and has spread to all 29 districts of Malawi.
Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, the U.N. resident coordinator in Malawi, told reporters Monday that more assistance is needed to stop the outbreak.
“So much work has been done but a lot more needs to be done,” she said. “We have focused on health, we have focused on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene). The two are very important but there are also other sectors like nutrition, protection and even logistics because we need to be able to move supplies from one point to the other.”
Adda-Dontoh said the needed assistance would complement what various donor partners have already contributed.
“The U.N. itself has mobilized already close to $10 million,” she said. “You heard the EU; you heard the U.K. here saying they had already contributed over 500,000 euros for the EU and also over 500,000 pounds for the U.K. Even the government of Malawi is on the ground and already contributed.”
Local media have reported that Malawi needs an additional $40 million for its national plan on cholera response.
Cases of cholera in Malawi have increased since the beginning of January, worsening the country’s largest outbreak in the past two decades.
Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera said last week, when he launched a national anti-cholera campaign, that the country’s health facilities were recording between 500 to 600 cholera cases every day.
The U.N. said that health experts have warned that Malawi could record between 64,000 and 100,000 more cases of cholera within the next three months unless urgent action is taken to scale up the response.

The children of Susan Idoko Okpe, the Benue state COVID-19 index case have taken to social media to beg the federal government and the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), to release their mum who has been in the Abuja Isolation center for 57 days now.
Idoko whom the government allegedly claimed tested positive for coronavirus has been at loggerheads with the government as she has been in isolation for months without showing symptoms of the virus.
She has also insisted that she doesn't have the virus and has not taken any medication.
Reacting to the development, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire on Wednesday said Mrs. Idoko had refused to let the NCDC and other medical personnel
take her samples, so they can do a final test on her before she is discharged.

KARACHI - Sindh Minister for Information and Archives and Labour Saeed Ghani and former Senate chairman Mian Raza Rabbani while addressing a press conference on Friday said that after the approval of the 18th Amendment, the provincial autonomy could not be obstructed.
By approving the 18th Amendment, parliament had given a clear message that federal units have their own rights, they said. They said that under clause 2 of the Article 149, the federal government had the authority to intervene in a province’s internal matters before the approval of the 18th Amendment. However, with the approval of the 18th Amendment the federal government had no such authority, they clarified.
They said that now under Article 149 a provincial government could only be instructed, while practically nothing could be done.
Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani said that the Sindh government could resolve all the issues which the federal government wanted to do using Article 149. They said that the impression being given by the federal government that it wanted to take over the provincial headquarter of Sindh was not welcoming at all.
Rabbani said that the purpose of passing the 18th Amendment was to stop whatever was wrong in the past. He said he would never allow anyone to rollback the 18th Amendment. He said that such planners lived in fool’s paradise. He said that Pakistan could not afford the further instability. For God sake do not let the linguistic affairs open out, if its flames spread the whole country would suffer, he added.
He said the federal government did not have a two-thirds majority, so it could abolish the 18th Amendment. He said that the main element of the country’s constitution was the parliamentary system which was not easy to be eliminated.
Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani said that the Karachi committee that the Prime Minister had recently constituted must also work under the constitution. He said that efforts were being made to move the country towards the presidential system. Information Minister said that various TV channels showed specific parts of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s speech under special agenda.
Rabbani said that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in his speech provided an analysis of how the leadership of the PPP strengthened the federation and the country even at the cost of their lives. He made it clear that there was no clause in the Charter of Democracy under which it was stated that there would be an agreement with the MQM as well.
He said that it was the tradition of PTI government that anyone who raised their voice in this country was hushed. Saeed Ghani said that the people of Sindh would never accept the partition of their province. He said that those who were planning to separate Karachi from Sindh should keep an eye on the regional conditions.

Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MP Babul Supriyo slammed West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for allegedly blocking the inter-ministerial central team that has been sent to the state and called it a shameful situation amid the coronavirus crisis.
Joining Republic TV live on Tuesday, Babul Supriyo said that CM Mamata's move was against the Supreme Court and raised questions on why she was trying to block the central team if she did not have anything to hide.
Further, the BJP neta hit out, saying that Coronavirus was not the only virus that West Bengal was fighting and that TMC was a bigger virus to the state. Babul Supriyo said that by suppressing the media or the Centre's team, Mamata was setting a bad precedent for the country and alleged that the CM feared that the Centre was trying to take over the state.

Ebonyi state government yesterday banned the movement of cattle into the state by herdsmen, saying that there is tension in the state over activities of the herdsmen in the country. Governor David Umahi disclosed this during a security meeting with security chiefs in the state at the state Police Command, noting that the state will enact laws that will restrict movement of cattles and other animals such as goat and chicken.
Leaders of Hausa community in the southeast region were also in attendance during the meeting. Umahi added that the old timers who have resided in the state for years and were rearing cattle should do that within a place because movement of cattles from place to place would stop immediately.
He said it has been observed that the herdsmen who moved their cattles from place to place were the ones posing security threat and not the innocent Hausa/Fulani brothers who have settled in the state for years.
He said as the chief security officer of the state, he was concerned about the life of every Nigerian living within and outside the state and had the duty to always strive to protect it including lives of those who are not Nigerians. He said there was need to nip the situation in the bud to prevent an escalation. “Every state must put in place what will guarantee peace for both indigenes and non indigenes.
“So that is a directive this afternoon and I want security agencies to take note because there is high tension now in Ebonyi state”, Gov Umahi said.


This, she said, would help reduce the unemployment rate and promote economic growth and development in the country.
She said this on Tuesday during a presentation on TVET organized by the Ministry of Information on the Fourth edition of the National Policy Summits (NPS) 2018 taking place in Tamale.
The two day programme is to create a platform for explaining government’s policies, plans and programmes, outlining their objectives, scope and specific areas that private capital was required to achieve set goals.
Mrs Archer said it is in the NPP’s government manifesto, page 108, to improve on TVET, and that the Ministry of Education has developed a TVET Directorate that coordinates all the TVET agencies in the country.
She said government as part of reforming TVET, has realigned all the provisions under the Ministry to ensure effective coordination and supervision to enhance productivity and employment to Ghanaians.
She said the government has created and upgraded 23 technical institutions across the regions in the country to enhance technical and vocational education and training.
Madam Archer said government is also making efforts to encourage young people by providing them with the needed support to venture into agriculture through TVET.
She urged the youth to end the perception that TVET was for people who had poor grades or school dropouts, which is a negative way of retarding young people from achieving and realizing their potentials.
During an interaction session, some of the participants suggested that the ministry should lay emphasis on the guidance and counselling units in various schools to help guide students on their carrier choices.
Some said the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) should also be supported to educate the public on the vital role of TVET education in their lives.
They also urged that Technical and vocational institutions should consistently exhibit their products to the public to help attract more people into the TVET institutions.

China advises United Kingdom, United States to handle their own affairs properly
( MENAFN ) Instead of interfering in the domestic affairs of other nations, British parliamentarians and US congressmen should think for the health of their own citizens and handle their own affairs well, a Foreign Ministry official said on Wednesday.
Spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a press briefing when commenting on British and U.S. doubts about the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong" and accusations that China violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration, "Elected by their voters, they have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but are expected to do practical deeds for their own people,"
She claimed that the concept of "patriots administering" has long been a prevalent practice in all countries around the world, noting that the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries have long-established, strict requirements for patriotism and loyalty in their laws, especially for public-official loyalty to the government.
She argued that the British criticism levied against China lacks evidence and reverses the black-and-white divide.

(MENAFN- AFP)Initial claims for US unemployment benefits rebounded in the latest week, posting the biggest increase in three months, but the average remains near the historic low, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
The data for the week ended December 16 -- collected during the survey week for the key monthly jobs report -- has reporting gaps for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands that are still recovering from hurricane damage.
New jobless benefit claims jumped 20,000 to 245,000 last week, snapping a streak of four consecutive weeks of declines, according to the report.
The result far surpassed the increase expected by economists, who projected a more modest rebound to 236,000.
However, the less volatile four-week average rose very slightly to 234,750.
Jobless claims have now held below 300,000 for 146 weeks, or nearly three years, the longest streak since 1970.
Though they can see big swings from week to week, jobless claims are used to gauge the prevalence of layoffs and the health of labor markets.
And despite the overall increase, several states reported declines of more than 1,000 during the week due to fewer layoffs in many sectors.
"Through the volatility, the data continue to signal more than enough strength in employment growth to keep the unemployment rate trending down," said economist Jim O'Sullivan of High Frequency Economics.
The Federal Reserve has for several months noted the widespread reports of labor shortages around the country, as employers face difficulty filling vacant positions with qualified workers.
And as RDQ Economics said in a client note the claims data "continues to point to extreme reluctance on the part of employers to sever workers."

United States officials have reported that the attacks launched on Saudi oil fields were launched from Iran.
According to The BBC:
The US has reportedly identified locations in Iran from which drones and cruise missiles were launched against the Saudi oil facilities on Saturday.
Senior officials told CBS News that the locations were in southern Iran, at the northern end of the Gulf.

Iran has denied being involved in the attacks which disrupted about 5 percent of the global oil supply.

(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) –Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena says the Government has already undertaken a development program that will promote long-term development and eradicate poverty among the poor equally benefitting all the people in the country.
The President said that the government’s development program is not something that satisfies a section of the people temporarily but it is a program that will recognize the pulse of the people and enable them to rise with self-esteem to face the world as a developed nation.
The President expressed his views at the inauguration of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Polonnaruwa Electorate board on Sunday (24) in Polonnaruwa.
President Sirisena said the Grama Shakthi People’s Movement initiated for poverty alleviation has become an island wide project and similarly the new ‘Gamperaliya’ program launched will also become an island wide program that will transform the rural department empowering the villages and the people.
He further said that to uplift the local entrepreneurs, the government has taken measures to introduce a new credit scheme which will provide a solution to the unemployment problem and a new impetus to the local production.
The President also said the government through the National Economic Council is focusing broad attention to economic development of the country as well as addressing the livelihood issues of the people.
President Sirisena stressed that the current government policy is to give greater value to local products and services.
Considering the issues faced by the local fruit farmers, the government has decided to raise the taxes on fruit imports and the measure will be implemented from next month.
The President further said the government, in order to give more value to the local fruits, expects to initiate a measure to ban cutting of all fruit trees identified by the Department of Agriculture and relevant specialists without a permit.


STALKERS across the region are being given the chance to work with police to change their behaviour as part of a new project funded by the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner.
Following the rise in reported cases of stalking a new initiative is being trialled that it is hoped will help tackle the problem.
The scheme will see people who have been identified as exhibiting stalking behaviours referred to a forensic psychologist who will help the perpetrators to change their behaviours before they escalate to more dangerous levels.
They will have six sessions with a forensic psychologist who will attempt to ‘turn off’ the cycle of abuse.
The £200,000 programme is being funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster, after being developed by West Midlands Police Detective Inspector Cate Webb-Jones and leading forensic psychologist Rachael Wheatley.
The service will specifically target stalking that takes place between people who have been in an intimate relationship as cases of that kind have risen by 59 percent in the last year.
The people targeted are those who are committing acts associated with stalking, but haven’t yet been sent to prison for their crimes.
There will also be support for victims as part of the programme.
The stalking intervention programme is to be trialled until August next year.
Detective Inspector Cate Webb-Jones, said: “Stalking victims need the stalking behaviours to stop because it creates such psychological damage and affects every aspect of their lives.
“Criminal justice outcomes alone don’t stop or change a perpetrator’s behaviour, which is where this new programme comes in.
“We have worked hard to develop a programme which seeks to change the mind-set of the perpetrator, many of whom are fixated and obsessed.
“By changing their behaviours we can prevent further harm for the victim or future victims and break that cycle of abuse.”
