Late Mureed Abbas had invested Rs100-120 million in it. ” said the official.

Announcement came during Iraqi prime minister's visit to Tehran
By Syed Zafar Mehdi
TEHRAN – Iran and Iraq on Sunday agreed to abolish mandatory travel visas for their nationals, in a significant confidence-building measure between the two neighbors.
The announcement came during Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi’s visit to Tehran, where he held wide-ranging talks with Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi.
“Visa waiver for citizens of both countries was the prime minister's good news,” Raeisi said at a joint presser, without giving any timeline.
The issue had come up for discussion many times between the officials of the two countries in recent years.
The announcement came a day after the Iraqi government announced that 60,000 Iranian pilgrims would be allowed to embark on the annual Arbaeen pilgrimage in Iraq, starting in two weeks.
Flanked by Kadhimi, Raeisi said the Iraqi premier has promised to “accept as many as possible” pilgrims for Arbaeen, while acknowledging the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The two top officials also agreed to develop Shalamcheh-Basra railway corridor, which they said will be “done quickly”.
Raeisi said the development of relations between the two countries can “strengthen the role of Tehran and Baghdad in regional, global and international relations”.
Kadhimi, for his part, said Iraq attaches importance to expanding ties with Tehran.
According to sources, the issue of potential normalization of ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia also figured in the discussions. Iraq has played a mediator in multiple rounds of Tehran-Riyadh talks in Baghdad recently.
Kadhimi became the first high-ranking foreign official to visit Tehran since the new government took over last month. (Anadolu Agency)

Groups Urge OH Officials to Help Small Farms Survive Pandemic
By Diane Bernard
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Concern over the survival of family farms during the COVID-19 crisis has spurred food policy and farm groups in the state to urge lawmakers to pass policies that would help small and mid-size farmers.
Amalie Lipstreu, policy director at the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association, said one policy move would be to establish clear social-distancing guidelines for farmers’ markets so they can stay open. She also said officials should let farmers sell their unused produce to the emergency food system, which would help provide food for the surge of unemployed folks turning to food pantries.
“There’s an opportunity to keep some of these farmers in business by purchasing products that they don’t have a market for any more,” Lipstreu said. “And we also have the opportunity to redirect those items to the emergency food system, which is under tremendous stress right now.”
She pointed out that Ohio has about 320 farmers’ markets and more than 75,000 farms, and taking steps now will help those businesses survive now and in the months ahead.
On Friday, the Department of Agriculture is expected to announce directives for distributing $9.5 billion in emergency funds for the nation’s agricultural sector through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, Act. Lipstreu said the money is supposed to go to farmers who sell into local and regional food systems and could greatly benefit the Buckeye State.
“We’re hoping that the USDA will offer a transparent and accessible program for the kind of farmers that this funding was directed towards,” she said. “And these are farmers who don’t get other types of federal financial assistance.”
She said aid packages for small businesses are being developed on the state and federal levels, but farmers need clarification as to whether they qualify as businesses that can receive some of that assistance.

“Now is the time for Taliban to take the coronavirus serious and avoid denying it; otherwise, it will be the responsibility of the group,” Sediqqi said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Muslim countries to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
Erdogan announced about this adressing the opening of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul devoted to the issue of Jerusalem on Dec.13.
Erdogan noted that the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel serves the interests of radical trends. The president also thanked the states that condemned the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Previously, US President Donald Trump proclaimed that the US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Israel proclaimed Jerusalem its capital after the end of the War of Independence in 1949. In 1967, after the Six Days War, it seized East Jerusalem and united it with the West Jerusalem, but the UN did not recognize this.
Embassies of countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel are located mainly in Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Ramat Gan.

KARACHI: Sindh Governor Imran Ismail has said the issues between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf as coalition partners in the federal government were getting resolved.
Imran Ismail’s remarks came as he met with lawmakers belonging to both the parties on Tuesday at the Governor House.
Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar of MQM-P was also present on the occasion.
On January 12, the MQM-P gave the PTI federal government a jolt as Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui announced his decision to leave the federal cabinet over “unfulfilled promises”.
Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui had said that they MQM-P had supported the federal government in every difficult phase but “injustice was still being done with Sindh”.
The Sindh governor said that action would also be taken on the leftover issues pending between the two political parties, adding the PTI and the MQM-P had remained and would remain allies and coalition partners.
The governor further said the federal government had decided to immediately release development funds meant for the development projects of Karachi and Hyderabad.
He added that the mayors of both Karachi and Hyderabad cities would be provided resources so that they could carry out development projects in their city areas.
He said that funds to such an effect would immediately be transferred to both mayors.


The people want more than just celebrity and local local local news. They want information that will help them better understand what is going on in their lives.
According to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the top story subject last year was the economy. And the people have been clamoring for more. What they are asking for is not just the local economic news but also larger economic stories.
Mallary Jean Tenore at Poynter quotes Chris Peacock, executive editor and vice president of CNNMoney.com, saying, “At first, the broad sentiment was that what happened on Wall Street didn’t concern Main Street, but that quickly changed, especially when Main Street lending froze.”
So the people finally saw a connection between Wall Street action and Main Street reaction. And the people made that leap of understanding because of steady and regular reporting about the economic situation the United States and the world has been in for the past four years.
The next step is for the media to do the same with international reporting.
The extra economic reporting has already started more people asking for more reporting about China.
Peacock told Tenore: “What has surprised me most in the last year is that our audience has had an increasingly voracious appetite for understanding China’s economy. Once considered mundane, reports on China’s inflation and manufacturing can now have a strong ripple effect here.”
What editors have to see is that the economic situations around the world are NOT independent of the political situations. That means that reporting on the economic issues MUST also entail reporting on the political and social issues in a country.
That means — follow closely now:
- People want more economic reporting because they see the links between Wall Street and Main Street
- People want more information about the economic and fiscal situation in China because what affects China affects Wall Street. (And what affects Wall Street affects Main Street.)
- Fiscal decisions in China — as in the rest of the world — are as much political as economic.
- Therefore, if people want more information about the Chinese economic situation, they will also need more reporting on the Chinese political and social situation.
We just need for editors to see just beyond what Peacock sees. There are global connections to Main Street in dozens of ways if only they would look for them.

Earlier this month, five employees who used Facebook to voice their displeasure about their job, and were fired for doing so, were told by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to go back to work. The news has further added to the confusion about what people can post about their jobs on Facebook and what measures employers can take to enforce social media policies without breaking the law. There has been a surge of more than 100 complaints filed with the NLRB – most within the past year.
Many businesses still lack social media policies, meaning workers don’t know what they can and can’t do. “Employers are struggling to figure out what the right policies are and what they should do when these cases arise,” US Chamber of Commerce labor law policy director Michael Eastman told CBS News.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats are likely to trust that the news media are giving them "very accurate" information, according to a new survey.
The survey, published Thursday by the Media Insight Project, said that only 31 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of Republicans said they trust the news they consume to be "very accurate."
The numbers were roughly the same when asked whether they trust the information they're receiving "a lot" (30 percent of Democrats to 8 percent of Republicans,) and if they believed the media "keep them very well informed on important issues" (38 percent of Democrats to 20 percent of Republicans).
Perception of media bias was more likely found in Republicans than Democrats.
Asked whether they believed the media they consume contain biases, 33 percent of Republicans said it's "too liberal." Only 12 percent of Democrats said they believed the media they consume is "too conservative."


Often when we get into a conflict, we can be tempted to react right away. The problem is, in the heat of the moment, we rarely understand completely what happened. We don’t have all the information we need to respond wisely.
Part of the problem is that there are often facts that we don’t want to admit to ourselves. Things about the conflict which trigger anger or fear and which we don’t want to look at directly. So we ignore this key information.
Taking the time to feel something fully is taking the time to get to know the situation more — including the parts that are uncomfortable to look at.
Taking the time to feel what we don’t want to feel can help us to get more of the facts before we act.22 May 2022


(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) At least 11 Afghan soldiers were killed in a Taleban ambush in western Afghanistan, officials said Monday, as security forces face their first fighting season without NATO combat support.
"The Taleban ambushed a convoy of soldiers in Karukh district of Herat, killing 11 Afghan army soldiers last evening. The soldiers were riding in pickup trucks," Ehsanullah Hayat, spokesman for the governor of the western province of Herat, told AFP.
Najibullah Najibi, a spokesman for the army in western Afghanistan, confirmed the attack and said four soldiers were also wounded.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Taleban militants have increased their attacks on Afghan security forces since launching their annual spring offensive.
The Taleban launched their offensive, named "Azm" (determination), in late April, vowing nationwide attacks in what is expected to be the bloodiest summer in a decade.
Afghan security forces, stretched on multiple fronts and facing record casualties, are struggling to rein in the militants even as the government makes repeated efforts to jump-start peace negotiations.
NATO's combat mission formally ended in December after 13 years, but a small follow-up foreign force has stayed on to train and support local security forces.

Carter Disses Blair and Bush
Former President Jimmy Carter is not a fan of the Bush administration’s approach to international relations, calling it “the worst in history” in a recent interview. While he was at it, Carter took aim at British Prime Minister Tony Blair, calling his compliance with Bush’s policies “a major tragedy for the world.”
Wait, before you go…
Los Angeles Times:
Britain’s support for the war in Iraq was a “major tragedy,” former President Carter said Saturday, as he criticized Prime Minister Tony Blair’s unwavering backing of President Bush.
Asked how he would judge Blair’s support of Bush, Carter said, “Abominable. Loyal. Blind. Apparently subservient.
“And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world,” Carter told BBC Radio.

Facebook, Google, Twitter and others have said they won�t block people posting links to a protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline near Cannon Ball, North Dakota.
But some have already started taking down the posts, and others are still sharing them, according to news reports.
The New York Times reported that Facebook blocked a number of posts, including ones that shared images of protesters and an image of a gas station.
Twitter said that posts containing the words, “We won�re coming back to North Dakota, we’ll take our power back” were not allowed.
Google said that it would not remove posts that include the words “No DAPL.”
The Washington Post reported that Google and Twitter had already removed some of the posts that contained the words.
The Times said that Google, YouTube and Facebook have been taking down posts that contain the words.
“It�s pretty clear that this is not what democracy looks like,” said Marc Rotenberg, a former State Department official who advised President George W. Bush on global climate policy.
“The whole point of having an open marketplace is to let people share ideas, ideas that might help people,” Rotenberg said.
Rotenberg said that the companies� actions were consistent with their own policies and that it was not surprising that they would do that given their strong public statements on climate change.
The companies say they are taking a stand against climate change because they believe it will negatively impact the economy.


Abdullah Abdullah, the Chief Executive of the National Unity Government (NUG) said on Monday at the Council of Ministers meeting that government accepts it has had problems over the past year.
Abdullah says that a year after the establishment of the National Unity Government some distrust by the nation exists and that regaining the people’s trust is a priority for the NUG. He said: “Regaining of the people’s trust is not only the work of two leaders but is the responsibility of all officials to work honestly for the people to improve their morale.”
“All responsible officials have duties to improve the people’s lives and move forward with their effective programs,” Abdullah said.
“We have passed tough days and people face massive problems.”
Abdullah assured the people that the tough days will end and that people’s lives will improve.
He said the government had recorded achievements but said that they have not been able to inform people of all gains made.
On a serious note, Abdullah called on people to stay in Afghanistan and not join the thousands of migrants fleeing the country.
“The youth have studied and their families have developed them … now some of them are leaving the country. Escaping is not the way out and the new generation should have self-confidence and we must also show that we are standing by our commitments to improve the situation,” he said.
This comes as a number of political analysts have criticizing government’s work in the past year.

Terming the imposition of toll tax on south Kashmir highway as “fleecing”, the Kashmir Economic Alliance, Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Khan has demanded its immediate revocation.
In a statement, Khan, who also head the Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation, said at a time when toll tax has been declared invalid even on expressways in metropolitans like that connecting New Delhi with Noida, the imposition of such uncalled for tax in turmoil-hit south Kashmir would further choke Kashmir’s economy.
Khans said the imposition of such tax within one region was injustice with the people who have been bearing the brunt of turmoil.
He said such measures would add to the alienation among the people in general and business community in particular.
“At a time when the government is expected to provide incentives to the people for the revival of economic activities, such taxes will only add to miseries through such fleecing,” he said.
Khan said such tax was also detrimental for the tourism sector and would send a bad signal in the industry.
Khan has appealed Governor SP Malik to personally look into the matter and get it revoked.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
TOKYO - Olympics organisers are grappling with a shortage of COVID-19 testing kits needed for their daily testing programme, with competitors staying at the athletes' village in Tokyo not tested as scheduled due to the shortfall, broadcaster NHK reported.
Athletes who arrived at the village on Monday were not tested as planned, NHK reported on Friday citing unnamed sources. The broadcaster quoted organisers as saying that more testing kits have since arrived and are being distributed.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — The Ministry of Water and Irrigation only secured 19 per cent of funds required to sustain water and wastewater services to Syrian refugees and local communities hosting them this year, a senior government official said on Sunday.
A total of $220 million has been allocated for this year's water and wastewater projects, under the 2015-2017 Jordan Response Plan for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Minister of Water and Irrigation Hazem Nasser said.
"… However, until today, the ministry has only received 44 million dollars of the allocated funds for this year. This is affecting the level of services provided to host communities, as well as to Syrian refugees," Nasser told reporters during a press meeting.
In 2016, a total of $275 million were allocated to the ministry under the plan, dubbed by ministry officials as "a resilience plan for the water sector".
Nasser said that, while the international community has other priorities due to events in Yemen and Libya, among other countries in the region, it must not "turn its back on Jordan".
The ministry launched its $750 million water, sanitation and hygiene response plan for Syrian refugees and host communities in 2015, with the aim of enhancing the capacity of the government and host communities to meet the increased demand for water and sanitation services.
Jordan is hosting 1.4 million Syrians, of whom some 650,000 are refugees and 85 per cent live among host communities, according to the response plan.
It indicated that the addition of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees to an 'already-vulnerable' water, sanitation and hygiene situation has resulted in 'severe pressure' on the entire system of these services in Jordan.
Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, demand for water has increased by 40 per cent, while supply remains scarce, according to the ministry.

The victory is the second for the Moroccan team which got the better of Central African Republic on Friday with a 76-66 win.

Citing the examples of industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, the two leaders alleged that they quit the Congress owing to its top leadership’s hatred for the state and Gujaratis, in addition to being neglected by the leaders in the decision-making process.
Raval, who was one of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) delegates from Gujarat, was also the former state industry minister. He was also the leader of the opposition in the Assembly during the 2002 riots and had been with the Congress for 40 years.
Parmar, on the other hand, was a three-time Rajya Sabha member who was also a member of the National Commission for Scheduled Caste.
The two former Congress leaders were welcomed to the BJP by Paatil in the presence of hundreds of party workers.
Parmar said the current Congress is not the party which it used to be. He alleged that in the current Congress dispensation, only two to four people are taking decisions without consulting senior leaders.
Without naming anyone, Parmar alleged that the Congress was giving preference to newcomers while ignoring senior leaders committed to the party’s ideology.
When asked about the Congress’s claim that the leaders quit despite being rewarded with so much, the two leaders said that whatever they got was because of their merits and hard work for the party.

Parties, MPs went back on their word on Telangana issue: Ghulam Nabi Azad
Azad said it was unfortunate that many parties and MPs, even from Congress, who had initially supported the creation of the new state later began opposing it.
"It is most unfortunate even our MPs, while I was having discussions with them, those who are now opposing and those who have been suspended, they were saying we leave it to the high command. Whatever they will decide, we will go by that. But once we decided, everybody went back," he said.
The minister said the confusion over the issue was because many parties and individuals had given wrong assurances.
"It is not our fault. It is the fault of those people who had given wrong assurances to us and after a decision was taken by Congress and the Cabinet, they had gone back (on their word)," he said.
Azad said that Congress had committed itself to creation of the new state.


Seven journalists were killed in Colombia last year, and attacks on media workers were almost double the number that occurred over the previous four years combined, says the annual report of the Colombian Federation of Journalists.
More than half of the press freedom violations were committed by the government, though paramilitary and guerrilla groups were also responsible for many attacks.
Colombia's attorney general, Viviane Morales, has responded to the report by announcing that her office will strengthen its unit that investigates crimes against journalists.
She said that in 2010 there were 50 threats against media workers in Colombia, none of which were solved.
