(MENAFN- Asia Times)
In a recent report, the United Nations warned that surging food prices after Russia's invasion of Ukraine amounted to a“perfect storm” of risk to economic development in Asia.
The UN may be understating the threat.
On any list of descriptions that economists overuse,“perfect storm” is right at the very top. Except, of course, when no other expression will do in a region already reeling from Covid-19-related disruptions.

(MENAFN) Recent data reported by Vedomosti reveals a substantial 41 percent year-on-year increase in Russian pipeline gas supplies to the European Union, reaching 2.52 billion cubic meters in the past month. According to an analysis of Gazprom data, the bulk of this supply, totaling 1.29 billion cubic meters, transited through Ukraine to European Union nations and Moldova. This marks a notable 32 percent increase compared to January 2023. The remaining volumes were transported via the TurkStream pipeline, illustrating the evolving dynamics of Russia's gas transit routes to Central and Western Europe.
As the only two remaining conduits for piped Russian gas to reach these European regions, the transit line through Ukraine and the European arm of TurkStream have become critical components of the energy supply chain. The current five-year transit contract between Russia and Ukraine is set to expire at the end of this year, raising questions about the future of gas transit routes and potential negotiations between the involved parties.
Under the existing agreement, Gazprom committed to delivering 65 billion cubic meters of gas to the European Union through Ukraine in 2020, followed by annual deliveries of 40 billion cubic meters between 2021 and 2024. However, actual delivery volumes have fallen short of the agreed amounts since May 2022, when Ukraine closed the key pumping station at Sokhranovka, responsible for handling a significant portion of Russian gas flowing through the country. Currently, only the station at Sudzha remains in operation, impacting the overall transit capacity.
The surge in Russian gas supplies to the European Union underscores the geopolitical and economic significance of energy transit routes. It also raises crucial questions about the upcoming negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the broader implications for Europe's energy security and the diversification of gas supply routes. As these dynamics continue to evolve, stakeholders in the region will closely monitor developments that could shape the future of Russian gas transit to Europe.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, March 3 (IANS) The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to hear a plea against the Animal Welfare Board India (AWBI)'s decision to withdraw its notification for celebration of the Cow Hug Day on February 14, which is Valentine's Day too.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh said that it cannot give directions and remarked: 'How can the court say that you celebrate cow hug day on Valentine's Day?'
The judge said that it is not fair of her to interfere with Article 226 of the Indian Constitution and that the celebration of any particular event by the AWBI is in the domain of the board and the government only.
This stems back to an appeal issued by AWBI on February 6 urging people to hug cows on Valentine's Day as it would bring happiness and positivity.
The AWBI had said: 'In view of the immense benefit of the cow, hugging with cow will bring emotional richness hence will increase our individual & collective happiness. Therefore, all the cow lovers may also celebrate the February 14 as Cow Hug day keeping in mind the importance of mother cow and make life happy and full of positive energy.'
After the announcement received heavy trolling, the AWBI withdrew it on February 10.
'As directed by the Competent Authority and Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, the appeal issued by the Animal Welfare Board of India for the celebration of Cow Hug Day on 14th February 2023 stands withdrawn,' the AWBI order read.

(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors)- adds detail broker comment share price- Business telecoms supplier AdePT Telecom (LON:ADT) posted another half year of healthy sales and profit growth as May acquisition Centrix chipped in the first time. Sales rose by 23% to £13.9mln in the six months to September with profits 20% ahead at £2.6mln stripping out one-off and acquisition costs. With those included pre-tax profits grew 4% to £1.17mln.

Moscow- Russian President Vladimir Putin says insulting Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon Him) is a“violation of religious freedom”, according to Russian News Agency TASS.
Insults to the Prophet are a“violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam,” Putin said in his annual press conference on Thursday.
Putin also criticized the publication of blasphemous sketches of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in French magazine Charlie Hebdo last September, saying that such acts give rise to extremist reprisals.
“Praising artistic freedom in general has its limits and it shouldn't infringe on other freedoms,” the Russian president said.
He said Russia has evolved as a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state, so Russians are used to respecting each other's traditions.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a twitter post, welcomed Putin's statement, saying,“Putin's statement reaffirmed my stance that insulting our Holy Prophet (PBUH) is not freedom of expression.”
The premier urged leaders of the Muslim countries to spread this message to heads of non-Muslim nations to counter Islamophobia.
He also called on the Western world to respect sentiments of the Muslim communities while practicing 'freedom of expression' for the past many years.

Kenny Rogers, the country musician behind such hits as 'The Gambler' and "Lady" over a six-decade career, has died at the age of 81, his family announced early Saturday.
'Rogers passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family,' a statement from SKH Music said.
Rogers' family plans a small private service due to the coronavirus outbreak, the statement said.
Rogers is well-known for hits like 'The Gambler,' "Lady," "Islands in the Stream," "Lucille," "She Believes In Me," and "Through the Years.'
Rogers and county music icon were frequent collaborators. They paired to make some of country music's most enduring duets, including "Islands in the Stream," "Love is Strange," "Real Love," and "You Can't Make Old Friends."
Rogers announced in 2015 that after spending more than 50 years in the business, he planned to retire after his next tour and told NBC's 'Today' then that he was saying goodbye.
'I've done this long enough,' he said, adding that he wanted to spend more time with his children.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) Khalife escaped wearing a chef's outfit.
286Views 0Comment Posted 07/09/2023 Shar
Airports and ferry terminals in the UK have been put on high alert as police fear a terror suspect who escaped from a south London prison on Wednesday may attempt to flee the country.
Justice Secretary Alex Chalk has called for an investigation into what the BBC's Chris Mason calls the“jaw-dropping” circumstances surrounding Daniel Abed Khalife's escape from HM Prison Wandsworth.
The 21-year-old former soldier is believed to have been preparing breakfast for inmates in the prison kitchen when he made a break for it by clinging to the bottom of a delivery truck as it drove out of the jail's grounds.
“Ministry of Justice officials were left red-faced,” said The Telegraph, and police have issued an urgent public appeal for information about Khalife's whereabouts.
An“astonishing sequence of events” unfolded at Wandsworth prison, said Mason. Prison staff realized that Khalife was missing at around 7 a.m., a source told The Times, and“nearly an hour” passed while staff searched the jail before police were informed.
The suspected criminal is thought to have been wearing his chef's uniform of a white T-shirt and red and white checked trousers when he made the escape. It's“as gobsmacking as it is absurd”, said Mason.
Khalife had been charged with breaking the Official Secrets Act and“perpetrating a bomb hoax”, said The Telegraph, to which he pleaded not guilty in January. He was due to stand trial at Woolwich Crown Court in November.

Chisinau: Moldova said Wednesday that it was suffering from widespread blackouts that were caused by a fresh barrage of Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in neighbouring Ukraine.
'As a result of Russia's bombardment on the Ukrainian energy system, within the last hour, we have massive electricity blackouts in the whole country,' Moldovan deputy prime minister Andrei Spinu wrote on Facebook.
He added that the country's national energy provider Moldelectrica was working to restore supplies.
Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu said the blackouts had hit the capital and even the foreign ministry building.
'I instructed that Russia's ambassador be summoned for explanations,' he added in an English-language message on Twitter. Read Also

Ex-Soviet Moldova, which is wedged between Ukraine and EU-member Romania, also experienced widespread blackouts earlier this month following another barrage of Russian missiles.
Ukraine previously provided for 30 percent of Moldovan electricity demand, with the remaining 70 percent coming from a thermal power station in Transnistria, a small breakaway region.
Russian-backed separatists there have also cut deliveries to the rest of the country, but Romania has stepped in to sell electricity to Moldova at reduced prices.
'Russia left Moldova in the dark,' Moldova's EU-friendly president, Maia Sandu, said Wednesday after the latest round of Russian attacks.
'We can't trust a regime that leaves us in the dark and cold, that deliberately kills people,' Sandu said on Facebook, she said, vowing to restore energy.
Russian energy giant Gazprom this week accused Ukraine of diverting natural gas supplies transiting to Moldova and threatened to cut supplies.
Moldova dismissed the Gazprom allegations, saying 'all the gas delivered to Moldova ends up in our country.'
Sandu has warned that her country of 2.6 million people risks running out of gas and electricity this winter.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Abu Dhabi Police have apprehended a gang of six scammers, who bought cars using dud cheques.
The bogus car buyers deceived unsuspecting car sellers after seeing their posts online. The gang bought the vehicles on dud cheques to the sellers. They then resold the cars at a lower price than their actual market value.
Brigadier Rashid Mubarak Al Mesmari, Director of the Peripheral Areas Police Department of Abu Dhabi police, warned of such fraudulent practices. The gangsters resell the cars and export them via a showroom, which is involved in the crime as well. Al Mesmari said Al Rahba police station received a complaint from somebody, who had reported that he had been the victim of a con game.
The victim told the police officer that he was cheated by some people, who inspected his vehicle and agreed to buy it for Dh90,000. He handed the car over and collected the payment in cheques. However, he later discovered that his car was sold for Dh65,000 in another emirate.
The investigation revealed that the same gang had defrauded other victims in the country, who sold them their cars under names of people they did not know, before they collected the payment that they agreed on.
The investigators managed to identify the criminals, and chalked out a plan to arrest them. Six people have been nabbed.
When confronted, the six gangsters confessed to having committed the crime and other similar crimes in the country. They said they had shared the amount amongst themselves.
The six conmen were referred to public prosecution to undergo further questioning.
Brig Al Mesmari called on the public to be alert and stick to basic security rules while selling and buying cars. He advised the public to collect the amount agreed in cash before handing over the car or relinquishing it to the buyer. The deal must also be made during the time when banks are open so the seller could check if the cheques are valid and could be collectible or not.

TOKYO, Japan – On July 4, Hayashi Yoshimasa, minister for foreign affairs of Japan, held a foreign ministers' meeting and working lunch with H.E. Eduardo Enrique REINA García, minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation of the Republic of Honduras, for approximately 90 minutes.
Minister Hayashi welcomed minister Reina's visit to Japan, expressing his hope to further strengthen relations with Honduras, an important partner sharing fundamental values such as freedom and democracy. In response, minister Reina stated Honduras attaches great importance to the bilateral relationship with Japan, and expressed his hope to further deepen it.
Minister Hayashi expressed his expectation that Japan's cooperation, including emergency support loan and grant aid for bridge reconstruction to Honduras, would contribute to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, smoothing the logistics situation in the Central American region, and economic development in Honduras. Minister Hayashi welcomed the progress made in Japan-Honduras cooperation in the area of space, noting that a microsatellite of the Central American Integration System (SICA), of which Honduras is a member, is to be released from the Japanese Experiment Module“Kibo” of the International Space Station.
Minister Reina also expressed appreciation for Japan's assistance and asked for continued Japanese support with the various needs of Honduras, including health, infrastructure, migrant measures, and education.
Cooperation in the international arena and regional affairs
The two ministers shared the view that they should firmly maintain“the rule of law” and should reject“the rule of force” with regard to the situation in Ukraine and that Japan and Honduras, both countries with shared fundamental values, will work closely to address international issues, such as United Nations (UN) reform, including Security Council reform and strengthening of UN functions.
“The two ministers also exchanged views regarding the situation in East Asia, including response to North Korea's nuclear, missile, and abductions issues, as well as the situation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and concurred to continue coordinating to address these issues,” says the ministry of foreign affairs of Japan.

(MENAFN) As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, investment in clean energy is experiencing a significant surge and is projected to surpass USD1.7 trillion in 2023, as stated by the International Energy Agency (IEA). In its latest report, the IEA highlighted that the global energy sector is expected to witness a total investment of around USD2.8 trillion this year, with approximately 60.7 percent directed toward clean technologies.
The report predicts that as concerns regarding security and affordability arising from the ongoing global energy crisis gain prominence, spending on clean energy technologies will surpass investments in fossil fuels. Clean energy encompasses a broad spectrum of sustainable technologies, including renewables, electric vehicles, nuclear power, low-emission fuels, efficiency improvements, and heat pumps.
According to the IEA, the remaining global energy investments of slightly over USD1 trillion will be allocated to coal, gas, and oil. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol emphasized the rapid progress of clean energy, stating that it is advancing at a faster pace than many realize. He highlighted the investment trends, which clearly indicate the growing dominance of clean technologies over fossil fuels. Birol noted that for every dollar invested in fossil fuels, approximately USD1.7 is now being channeled into clean energy. Just five years ago, this ratio stood at one-to-one.
The report further predicts that in 2023, spending on solar power will surpass USD1 billion per day or reach USD382 billion for the year. In contrast, investment in oil production is expected to amount to USD371 billion. Over the period from 2021 to 2023, annual investments in clean energy are projected to increase by 24 percent, driven by the growth of renewables and electric vehicles. In comparison, investments in fossil fuels during the same timeframe are expected to experience a 15 percent increase.
The findings of the IEA report highlight the accelerating transition towards clean energy sources, reflecting the increasing global recognition of the urgency to combat climate change. The significant rise in investments in clean technologies demonstrates a growing confidence in their long-term viability, cost-effectiveness, and potential to reduce carbon emissions. As the world moves towards a more sustainable energy future, these investment trends pave the way for further advancements in renewable energy infrastructure, technology innovation, and the decarbonization of the global economy.

(MENAFN) On Monday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made an announcement that cryptocurrency trading platform Binance, along with its founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao, is being sued for alleged violations of several US securities laws. The SEC has brought forth a total of 13 charges against Binance entities and Zhao, including accusations of operating unregistered exchanges, broker-dealers, and clearing agencies. Additionally, the charges involve claims of misrepresenting trading controls and oversight on the Binance.US platform, as well as the unregistered offer and sale of securities.
The SEC alleges that despite public claims made by Zhao and Binance that American customers were prohibited from conducting transactions on Binance.com, they secretly circumvented their own controls to allow high-value US customers to continue trading on the Binance.com platform. Furthermore, the regulator asserts that although Zhao and Binance publicly presented Binance.US as a separate and independent trading platform exclusively for American investors, they exerted covert control over the platform's operations.
In a statement, SEC Chair Gary Gensler expressed the extent of the allegations against Zhao and Binance, citing an intricate web of deception, conflicts of interest, lack of disclosure, and deliberate evasion of the law. The SEC's legal action underscores its commitment to enforcing securities regulations within the cryptocurrency space and holding individuals and entities accountable for any violations.
The lawsuit against Binance and its CEO comes amid a growing focus on regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry. As cryptocurrencies continue to gain prominence and attract a larger investor base, regulatory bodies are intensifying their efforts to ensure compliance and protect investors. The outcome of this case will not only have implications for Binance and Zhao but may also serve as a precedent for the broader cryptocurrency market, influencing regulatory frameworks and investor confidence in the sector.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) IANS
Consuming soy foods such as soy milk and tofu and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbages, kale and broccoli may help reduce common side effects of treatment in breast cancer survivors, researchers say.
Treatments designed to prevent breast cancer recurrence often inhibit the body's production or use of oestrogen—the hormone that can fuel breast cancer growth.
As a result, such patients often experience hot flushes and night sweats, among other side effects that are commonly post menopause.
Phytochemicals, or bioactive food components, such as isoflavones in soy foods and glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables may be the source of the benefit, the researchers said.
While isoflavones bind to oestrogen receptors and exert weak oestrogenic effects, glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables influence levels of metabolising enzymes that can modulate inflammation and levels of oestrogen, possibly attenuating treatment-related symptoms.
The study addresses an important gap in research on the possible role of lifestyle factors, such as dietary habits, in relation to side effects of treatments, said lead author Sarah Oppeneer Nomura from the University's Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
For the study, published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, the team included 173 non-Hispanic white and 192 Chinese Americans.
Women who consumed more soy foods also showed suggestive associations with lower reporting of other symptoms, including joint problems, hair thinning/loss and memory, but these associations did not reach statistical significance.
Thus, until more study is conducted, breast cancer patients should not suddenly start eating soy, if they have not consumed it before, the researchers warned.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Residential rents and sales prices in Abu Dhabi are expected to see further moderate declines in 2018 owing to the continuous delivery of new supply, says real estate consultancy Asteco.
Average apartment and villa rents declined by 10 per cent and seven per cent in 2017 in comparison to 2016, whilst apartment and villa sales prices declined 10 per cent and four per cent year on year.
While rents for one-bedroom apartments decreased by an average of Dh10,000 per annum, the larger two- and three bedroom units dropped by an average of Dh16,500, says Asteco in its Q4 2017 market update.
Limited economic growth continued to translate into job cuts, reduction of staff allowances and limited new employment opportunities. This, coupled with the increase in new supply, resulted in a drop in sales prices and rents across all asset classes. The decline was most prominent for high and mid-quality properties, the report adds.
"Approximately 9,000 residential units, including 6,200 apartments and 2,800 villas and townhouses are anticipated for completion this year, predominantly within the districts of Reem Island, Al Raha Beach and Yas Island," said John Stevens, managing director, Asteco.
"Based on previous years, the delivery of some of this inventory may be postponed until 2019 such as the delayed office buildings Omega Towers on Reem Island and the ADIB HQ on Airport Road, which were due for delivery in 2017 but are now expected for handover in 2018," Stevens continued.
Around 2,800 apartments and 750 villas and townhouses were delivered in 2017.
While transaction activity for completed properties slowed compared with previous years, newly launched off-plan quality projects came with attractive payment plans and discounts.

(MENAFN) King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla arrived in Berlin on Wednesday for their first overseas state visit. The royal couple was received with military honors by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Budenbender at the capital's landmark Brandenburg Gate. The ceremony was attended by hundreds of people who lined up at the historic center of the city, carrying German and British flags. Charles shook hands and had short conversations with crowds standing behind the barricades, and many people took photographs of the rare encounter.
Later in the evening, Steinmeier hosted a state banquet at Bellevue Palace in honor of the royal guests. In his speech, Steinmeier underlined the importance of the close ties between the two countries, particularly in the face of new challenges in Europe and Russia's war on Ukraine. He stressed that the German-British friendship would remain significant and firm, no matter what lies ahead. Steinmeier also noted that Germany and the UK, along with their Western partners, would continue their support for Ukraine, and they would meet with the German-British Battalion in Brandenburg and visit an arrival center for Ukrainian refugees in Tegel.
The royal visit comes at a time when the UK and the EU are seeking closer ties, three years after Britain's exit from the bloc.

The royal couple's visit is expected to provide a symbolic boost to the relationship, particularly as the EU and the UK seek to improve their ties. The visit is also an opportunity for King Charles to engage with German leaders and highlight the importance of continued cooperation and friendship between the two countries.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) RABAT, Sept 20 (KUNA) -- The 26th session of the Conference on Archeology and Cultural Heritage in the Arab World commenced Wednesday in the Moroccan city of Fez with a participation of a Kuwaiti delegation.
The conference is organized by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, under the slogan 'cultural heritage in the national policies of Arab countries'.
Kuwait is represented in the conference by a delegation from the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, headed by Director of the NCCAL's Department of Antiquities and Museums and Department of External Cultural Relations Mohammad Abdel-Khaleq bin Reda.
ALECSO Director-General Mohamed Ould Amar pointed out that this session "will inevitably enable us to listen to decision-makers and policy makers in Arab countries regarding heritage and various programs related to it, exchange experiences, ideas, and benefit from the competence of our experts and knowledge of the programs of our partners in international and regional organizations in order to promote and protect the Arab heritage".
He regretted the fact that despite the interest that Arab countries pay to cultural heritage the number of Arab sites included on the World Heritage List remains very small.
"Almost a quarter of them are registered on the list of cultural heritage in danger," he said, calling for intensifying efforts and cooperation to change this situation, especially with the presence of more than 200 cultural sites on the UNESCO guidelines list awaiting the completion of their files.
Over two days, the conference will discuss a number of key issues that focus on cultural heritage in the national policies of Arab countries such as the policy of managing archaeological and cultural heritage in Arab countries, mechanisms for protecting cultural sites in the Arab world, experiences in preserving and rehabilitating cultural heritage in Arab countries, international cooperation in the field of cultural heritage in Arab countries and the challenges and future vision of cultural heritage in the Arab world.
The conference aims to present the various national experiences and policies in the Arab countries in the field of cultural heritage management.
It also reviews the major Arab initiatives to save, rehabilitate and restore the cultural archaeological sites and cities as well as the updated legal and regulatory mechanisms to protect cultural heritage.
The conferee will also study methods and mechanisms for improving the policies framed for preserving, rehabilitating and promoting cultural heritage, and for combating illicit trafficking in cultural properties. (end)

(MENAFN) In an interview with CNBC, former US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin opposed the Group of Seven (G7) plan to control the price of Russian oil.
The measure, which is due to be executed early next month, is “not only not feasible, I think it’s the most ridiculous idea I’ve ever heard,” Mnuchin stated.
The former official asserted that “the market is going to set the price. So, if you put sanctions on at higher prices, in a way you’re just making the situation worse.”
The G7 countries, which include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan, had already agreed to put a fixed price cap on Russian oil. The law goes into effect on December 5. While the exact price is unknown, sources suggest it will be approximately $60 per barrel. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, is now trading at roughly $86 per barrel.
Western corporations will be barred from providing some services for shipments of Russian oil acquired at a price higher than the ceiling, according to the plan. Insurance and payment facilitation are among the services offered. The Washington-proposed method is meant to reduce Russia's earnings from energy exports, which the West believes Moscow uses to support its military campaign in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Moscow has expanded oil supplies to non-Western nations, mainly China and India, in recent months by giving discounts to secure buyers.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Other Countries to Form Naval Coalition in Northern Indian Ocean
(MENAFN) In a significant development, Iranian Navy Commander Shahram Irani announced on Saturday the formation of a naval coalition in the northern Indian Ocean. This coalition will include Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Iraq, Pakistan, India, and other countries in the region. The aim of this coalition is to enhance maritime security in the northern Indian Ocean, which is a strategically important area. The involvement of these nations signifies a collaborative effort to address common security concerns and maintain stability in the region.
In a parallel development, the UAE recently declared its withdrawal from a U.S.-led naval force. The Emirati foreign ministry's website stated on Wednesday that Abu Dhabi has decided to leave the Joint Maritime Forces operating in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The decision to quit the naval coalition was made after a comprehensive evaluation of the UAE's security needs.
Analysts suggest that Abu Dhabi's decision to withdraw from the U.S.-led force aligns with its goal of diversifying its security relationships. The UAE aims to explore alternative avenues for safeguarding its maritime interests and forging partnerships that cater to its specific security requirements. This move highlights the UAE's pursuit of an independent and flexible foreign policy approach in navigating the complex dynamics of the region.
