Kuwait- Paris hosts int'l conf. on Yemen Wed.
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) PARIS, June 26 (KUNA) -- Paris is poised to play host to an international humanitarian conference on Yemen on Wednesday, with the State of Kuwait attending.
The participants will seek to look into the humanitarian situation in Yemen, and to find an end to ongoing fighting in Yemen, the French Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.
The gathering comes at a time when there is a pressing international response to the current major developments in war-hit Yemen, especially in Hodeidah port, the ministry added.
The United Nations (UN) considers the Yemeni conflict one of the most serious crises across the world, given that 8.4 million Yemenis have been suffering from food insecurity, according to the statement.
Wednesday's humanitarian conference on the Yemen crisis takes place while hundreds of thousands of Yemenis risk being trapped in crossfire as fighting escalates in Hodeidah, one of the most densely populated areas of the country. (end) mjz.mt

Kuwait- US troubled by reports of mass graves in Myanmar
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (KUNA) -- The United State is "deeply troubled" by reports of multiple mass graves of Rohingya villagers uncovered in Myanmar, the State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert said Thursday. The graves were uncovered in the Myanmar's Rakhine state, "the exact area where we have seen the Rohingya flee their country for neighboring Bangladesh," she said at a press briefing.
"We are watching this situation very carefully. We remain focused on helping to ensure the accountability for those responsible for human rights abuses and violations," Nauert stressed. Earlier, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the situation unfolding between Myanmar security forces and the Rohingya Muslim-minority constituted ethnic cleansing. "This is something we stand firmly by," she added. This week at least five mass graves were reportedly uncovered containing hundreds of bodies of Rohingya civilians believed to be killed by Myanmar forces.
Since August 2017, more than 655,000 Rohingya have fled what the UN called "textbook genocide" in Myanmar to neighbouring Bangladesh. (end) hy.gb

On Friday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani reopened the al-Shamal refinery at the Baiji Refinery complex.

Athlone Town Council’s final budget heralded sentiment and emotion from councillors and executive members who are sorry to see the end of the local authority.
At Tuesday’s meeting acting county manger Barry Kehoe said the devolution of local government is something the people of Westmeath will have to live with but he said Athlone Town Council has been particularly successful in its work.
He promised that the county will continue to bring a focus to Athlone and he said the new municipal committee, which will be in place from the end of May, will have the added advantage of representing people from outside the town of Athlone who work, spend their money, and socialise in the town.
He said that democratic mandate for the town will remain and it will be served by a large number of council staff who will be committed to maintaining the current level of service to the town.
Cllr Kieran Molloy, who will be stepping aside from local politics after 27 years said he never thought he would see the day when Athlone Town Council would be gone.
The loss of control of water services was described by Cllr Molloy as “bureaucracy gone mad” and he said he sincerely hopes that Athlone’s public reps continue to get their share of the county budget.
He wished those who put their name on the ballot paper for the local elections next May the very best of luck and said he fears greatly for the town which has lost its student grant services and seen a reduction in staff over recent years.
Mayor Gabrielle McFadden closed the meeting by giving Cllr Molloy the opportunity to propose the last budget which he did.

Edward Grefenstette, a research scientist at Meta AI, formerly Facebook AI Research, said to CNBC, “AI algorithms are good at approaching individual tasks, or tasks that include a small degree of variability.”

CUTTING back on austerity across the eurozone would boost growth by 1% next year, consultants Ernst & Young has forecast.
In its summer outlook, the company said the recession across the 17-member bloc will last longer than previously thought.
It said that if the austerity measures currently planned were halved, eurozone GDP would increase by 1% next year.
Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to the Ernst & Young Eurozone Forecast, said that in the short term there is little that can help growth across the countries that have the euro.
"The structural reforms being implemented could take some time to have an impact on GDP," she said. "On the positive side, the relaxation of fiscal austerity means measures that would have otherwise been implemented that could have potentially harmed growth have been avoided. But fiscal policy will remain restrictive."
Ernst & Young said the European Central Bank can do more by easing monetary policy targeted at SMEs. It also said that the delay in the recovery in the eurozone was partly due to the slowing down in emerging markets such as China and Brazil.


(MENAFN- The Peninsula) BANGKOK: Thailand has received more than 100,000 visitors after launching a scheme earlier this month that allowed vaccinated tourists to skip quarantine, an official said on Friday, nearly as high as the number of arrivals in the first ten months combined.
From next month, Thailand plans to deploy rapid antigen tests rather than PCR tests to shorten wait times for tourists, said coronavirus taskforce spokesman Taweesin Wisanuyothin, in a move hoped to further boost the vital sector.
But numbers still remain far below the norm - Thailand received 40 million arrivals in 2019 - and some businesses and returning tourists have complained about virus restrictions that remain in place.
Health officials are working with these business to implement measures including testing staff every three days that could allow them to reopen in the future, he said.
Thailand has reported a total of nearly 2.1 million infections and 20,645 COVID-related fatalities, the majority of them since April.

Posted October 05, 2018 11:03:55 The hunt, which is being held in Shawangunk, in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast region, has seen more than 50 animals killed over the past two weeks.
The man who is part of the group has said he is inspired by his father, who was a conservation officer and bushfire manager.
He is one of more than 100 members of the Australian Society of Mammalogists and Crocodilians (ASMCC) who have taken part.
“It is not only the hunting of animals, it is also the conservation of them, the preservation of them and the education of them about what they can do to help the environment,” Mr Langley said.
“I have always believed that the environment is more important than money.”
He said the hunt was being held to raise funds for the ASMCC and the organisation’s conservation programs.
“People don’t realize that the vast majority of our species are threatened with extinction and that we are in a crisis,” Mr Sangley said, according to the ABC.
“We are at a tipping point, the world is turning, and I think we have a chance of turning things around.”
There are so many ways we can do this and we need people to take a risk, he said.
It’s about helping the environment and being a part of it.

Twice as many Americans say the justice system is “not tough enough” on crime rather than “too tough” — but the gap has narrowed considerably, a new survey released Monday reveals.
The Gallup Poll found that 41 percent of respondents said the criminal justice system is not tough enough compared to 21 percent who said it’s too tough. The remaining 35 percent said the justice system was “about right” in addressing crime.
The results are a far cry from a generation ago, when violent crime was a more pressing issue.
In 1992, 83 percent of Americans said the justice system wasn’t tough enough on crime. In 2000, 70 percent of respondents said the system wasn’t tough enough. But a variance by political party and race persists.
In the current survey, 58 percent of Republicans said the justice system wasn’t tough enough compared to just 25 percent of Democrats who believed the same.
Meanwhile 45 percent of white respondents said

Claiming that the demands of the protesting students are being met, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner Monirul Islam on Thursday (2 August) urged them to return their homes.
“Already the implementation process of their demands has been started,” said Monirul, also the head of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit, while briefing reporters at DMP media centre in the afternoon.
He also expressed deep shock on behalf of DMP to the families of the victim students who were killed in the Sunday’s road crash.

Already, an owner, two drivers and two helpers of the buses linked to Sunday’s tragic accident, have been arrested, said the police official.
There was a previous direction to traffic police against irregularities on the roads and highways, and they have been working accordingly, which he said has reduced mismanagement on the roads and highways.

When his attention was drawn about police drivers operating without licenses, the CTTC chief claimed that all of the policemen, who are involved in driving police vehicles, have licenses. He said only police and BRTA have the authority to examine driving license and as police usually check the license, many of the police drivers do not carry licenses.
Monirul said many police drivers have kept their licenses in the transport section of the police. “We are now considering to keep driving license with respective holder’s possession,” Monirul added.


Government has failed to provide good governance, alleges Patil
Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council S R Patil has said that the BJP government is involved in series of corruption, favouritism and illegal activities and has failed to provide good governance to the people of the state.
Addressing media persons at Kadur on Wednesday, he said despite receiving grants from the Central government, the State government is blaming it on the Centre for the lack of development work in the State. It is ridiculous to hear the Chief Minister making such statements.
“The NDA government during its regime had granted Rs 30,000 crore to the State, while UPA government has released Rs 89,000 crore to the State in the last four years. Congress leaders will have to keep these statistics before the public to bring out the truth. Thousands of crores released by the Centre under MGNREGS has remained unutilised.Predicting the forth coming Assembly election results, he claimed that the Congress will come back to power in next assembly elections and the BJP will be dethroned. The infights in the BJP will be an advantage to the Congress.People of the State will also reject the JD(S) which has turned out to be a party ruled by a family," said Congress leader.

He said that the hospital is preparing another section for intensive care in case it is required.
Dr Zarb Adami said that yesterday there was an adequate supply of blood at the blood bank, but there was always a need for more blood.
On his part, the Parliamentary Secretary for Health Chris Fearne praised the medical staff, saying that the work of the Emergency Department had continued as usual. He said that in the last few months, the number of cubicles had been doubled which was why the department was able to function normally.
Mr Fearne also paid tribute to all the Red Cross volunteers for their immediate assistance during the panic which arose yesterday when the super car crashed into the crowd.
He thanked all those who yesterday went to donate blood and will continue to donate blood today due to the number of operations which need to be carried out.


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Jan 15 (Petra) –– Anti-narcotics Department (AND) officers raided a laboratory in an East Amman industrial facility, which clandestinely manufactured drug pills, and arrested eight people in the first-of-its-kind case in the Kingdom, according to the Public Security Directorate.
The Department of Public Relations and Information at the directorate said that AND agents had for months been tracking information they had received about a person and other accomplices, who were preparing and processing materials, using special equipment, to produce the Captagon drug pills.
It said in a statement that special drug enforcement teams began surveillance and monitoring of the movements of the suspects to identify those involved and the locations of production and storage.
After the monitoring and information gathering, investigators have obtained preliminary information that one person had imported chemicals used to manufacture detergents and had sought help from foreign nationals to process these chemicals and extract substances to synthesize Captagon (fenethylline) pills, it said.
Having pinpointed the location of the narcotics-producing facility in a hangar in an East Amman industrial area, which was hired by the primary suspect, who claimed it was to produce cleaning materials, anti-drug teams moved in, seizing tons of various chemicals and industrial equipment used to make the pills and arresting the man, it said.
The statement added that other officers raided an apartment in Amman, which was used as a store, found about two million psychostimulant pills inside and apprehended one person.
Six other suspects, including a foreign national, were nabbed elsewhere, and an investigation was still going on, it said.
It pointed out that the narcotics seized were the first consignment produced and that the suspects had planned to smuggle them outside the country, adding that the chemicals confiscated were enough to make over 100 million drug pills.

Six COVID-19 hotspots in Athens have been noted as the state numbers continue to climb.
The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee made up of chief health officers stated that 83 per cent of new coronavirus cases reported in Australia in the past week were recorded in Victoria. Eighty seven of the cases were via community transmission and 29 were found in returned travellers. The state’s case numbers are the highest they have been in more than two months, whereas more than half of new cases since the end of April came from family members spreading the virus to their relatives.
As a result of the spike in numbers, cafes, restaurants and pubs which were set to increase the number of their patrons from 20 to 50 people today, have been required to put their plans on hold.
Gyms, cinemas, indoor sports centres and concert venues will reopen but will need to have a 20-person limit.
The AHPPC have pinpointed a number of hotspots in Victoria. these include the government areas of Hume, Casey, Brimbank, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin.
Active cases according to areas are as follows:
City of Melbourne – 23 people

Hume – nine
Casey – nine
Cardinia – six

Darebin – three
Moonee Valley – three

A statement issued by the AHPPC yesterday discouraged travel to and from these areas.
Victoria’s Health Minister Jenny Mikakos announced a state of emergency extension through to 19 July.


Taxation has been an issue. Many states have their sources of income tax. However, the national government, in its quest to raise more revenue for the country’s agenda, has instituted numerous mechanisms that enable it to get a large share of the tax that states collect. It has enabled the national government to suppress the federal government as its needs increase day in day out.
Controversial issues such as abortion and same-sex marriages have allowed the national government to influence states. It is not clear what laws, especially pertaining to such controversial issues should be followed. However, national laws have prevailed in the country concerning such controversial issues as individual states continue to deliberate on the way forward.
The process of nationalization is justified, because in the current world, globalization has led to a seemingly smaller world. Hence, the country’s agenda should be one as opposed to that of each state, which will ensure that the nation prevails on its soil and in the global

The number of "verbal assaults" suffered by Cornwall Council staff is on the rise.
Councillors were given information about health and safety incidents which had been reported at the council at a briefing on Friday (June 15).
Sean Oates, the council's health, safety and wellbeing manager, said that while the number of verbal assaults had increased, it could be because the council is encouraging staff to report such incidents.
The number of health and safety incidents overall reported to the council has increased over the past three years, from just over 200 in 2015/16 to 315 in 2017/18.
Councillors heard that the council was doing more work around verbal assaults to encourage staff to report them.
Mr Oates said: "We are doing a huge amount of work to change the attitude to verbal assault.
"Some areas of the council see verbal assault as part of the job. We are trying to change that culture and increase the level of reporting."
Councillors also heard that the reporting system for health and safety incidents was also changing so that any staff can report them - at present only certain members of staff can log incidents, which is discouraging people from reporting them.
The council is also encouraging more reporting of "near misses" which Mr Oates said were as important as actual incidents.
Mr Oates told councillors in the all-member briefing that the council had lost 2,500 work days due to accidents in the past year, which he said was "quite a significant loss to the council".
He explained that having good health and safety practices in place would save the council money as well as improving the safety and wellbeing of staff.
In addition to incidents involving staff the council also records incidents involving service users.
Mr Oates said: "We had 370, unfortunately, reported to us where incidents involved service users. Those were predominantly in maintained schools."
Councillors heard that a lot of incidents involving staff were from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service due to the dangerous nature of the work and the physically demanding training that staff have to take part in.
Mr Oates explained that social care staff were also affected regularly as their jobs can involved lifting and carrying.
The briefing heard that there were 27 serious incidents which had to be reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Mr Oates explained that these were mainly "trips, slips and falls" where staff were off work for more than seven days.
All the cases were independently investigated but none resulted in any enforcement from the HSE.

I find it ironic and more than a bit hypocritical when those who have worked their entire adult life for the federal (big) government, and are now reaping the benefits of a federal pension and health care, now make a call to support policies that limit big government.
Are they willing to give up those retirement benefits as part of the solution to federal spending? If not, now that they have theirs, they shouldn’t cast stones in glass houses.

ISLAMABAD, May 20:Following the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision of de-seating 25 dissident members belonging to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said the decision does not affect the Punjab government.
While addressing a press conference at the Press Information Department (PID) along with Pakistan People’s Party leader Faisal Karim Kundi, the information minister criticised the PTI and said that the party Chairman Imran Khan was earlier hurling abuses at the commission and was asking his followers to attack its office, but now – after receiving a decision in his party’s favour – he is all praises for the ECP.
She emphasised that the decision was “only for the 25 dissident PTI members”.She said that the de-seating of these 25 members does not affect Chief Minister Punjab Hamza Shahbaz, elections, and the Punjab government as the allied parties already have the votes of 177 members.
Berating the former, PTI-led government, the PML-N leader said that “these are the people who want to cling on to power no matter how much they hurt the country’s situation”. Marriyum Aurangzeb further said that the dissident members are those who showed a lack of confidence in their party’s decision and decided to vote for someone else, adding that the PTI’s defecting parliamentarians voted against Khan publicly.
The information minister went on to say that these members are eligible to cast their votes for the no-confidence motion. “They knew about the consequences and voted against their party and in favour of the nation,” she said. – SABAH

The impact of the pandemic was more severe in the country than on most world economies because of the landlocked economy, according to Finance Minister Namgay Tshering.
“The main sources of revenue for the government were the hydropower and tourism sectors. We faced a lot of problems in terms of revenue after the Covid-19,” he said.
The finance minister, who was on Bhutan Broadcasting Service’s (BBS) live discussion yesterday, said that he was hoping the pandemic would become endemic in the near future and that the economy would improve. “The only solution to curb the Covid-19 situation for now is to impose lockdowns.”
He said that the booster dose would help avoid people get ill. “As a finance minister of the country, I have a big concern about the economy.”
Lyonpo Namgay Tshering said that he had submitted his recommendations and ideas to the prime minister on how to improve the economy.
He said that the livelihoods were in the economy. “We never thought that the pandemic would happen when we finalised the 12th Plan.”
The government, he said, was working on how the private sector could be leveraged with better economic and monetary policies. “The possibilities of reducing interest rates should be looked into.”
This comes at a time when one of the issues in the country is the high interest rates for borrowers, according to investors and the government.
Lyonpo Namgay Tshering said that the government was prepared to tackle the next variant of the Covid-19 given the evolving nature of the virus.
He said that economic contingency plans have been worked out to deal with any situation the country could face due to the pandemic. “The government had rolled out economic programmes including the Build Bhutan Project.”
He said that about Nu 800 million (M) had been rolled out under the credit guarantee scheme in the 20 dzongkhags to improve the economy. “It consisted of about 2,000 projects.”
The finance minister said that imprisoning all the loan defaulters would not solve the non-performing loan issue.
He said that businesses could function within the protocol despite the endemic. “The manufacturing sector would be allowed to operate within the protocol.”
He said it would have been difficult for many people to survive in the pandemic had it not been for the gracious kidu support. “The government would work towards a prosperous private sector.”
The finance minister said that a worst-case scenario had been worked out to resolve the non-performing loans (NPL). He said that some of the shops and industries were allowed to operate to help the private sector.
“One of the issues we have is in the construction sector. We are trying to resolve the issue.” He said that the private sector would be one of the priorities of the governments.
He said that the government would ensure economic prosperity for the people and the country.
