(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)
Amman, Dec 26 (Petra) –– Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs, Ayman Safadi, and Japanese foreign minister, Taro Kono, on Tuesday discussed developments in the Middle East, including the Palestinian issue, the Syrian crisis and the war on terrorism, in addition to enhancing Jordanian-Japanese ties.
The ministers noted that the two countries had adopted an institutionalized approach to deepen relations and cement cooperation in the economic, trade and investment fields, which proved effective, stressing that all steps should be taken to open wider horizons for cooperation.
The discussion focused on the repercussions of the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move its embassy to the city, with Safadi reiterating that it was a violation of international resolutions and legitimacy, which underlined that East Jerusalem is occupied territory and that Jerusalem is a final status issue whose fate should be decided through direct negotiations and according to the relevant international resolutions.
Safadi stressed the need to abide by international resolutions, which deemed as null and void any unilateral moves to change the legal and historic status quo and impose new facts on the ground.
The minister briefed his Japanese counterpart on Jordan's role to protect Islamic and Christian holy shrines in Jerusalem and preserve the legal and historic status quo in the city, noting the affirmation of His Majesty King Abdullah, the Custodian of the holy sites, that Muslims and Christians have an eternal right in Jerusalem.
Safadi said a collective international endeavour is needed to launch serious and effective efforts to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on the two-state solution that guarantees the setting up of an independent Palestinian state along the 4th of June, 1967, borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, as the only avenue to achieve peace in the region.
He urged the international community to recognise an independent Palestinian on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Japanese foreign minister said his country will not move its embassy to Jerusalem as it considers the city as a final status issue whose fate should be decided through direct negotiation, reiterating support for the two-state solution and the need for effective efforts to achieve that goal.
Kono hailed Jordan's efforts to build peace, security and stability and advance the culture of peace and respect of others. He also valued the Kingdom for hosting and providing aid to Syrian refugees.
Safadi hailed Tokyo's economic aid to Jordan in its development process, and said the Kingdom welcomes a Japanese role to address the region's issues and supports its positive efforts to achieve regional development and peace.
The ministers agreed to pursue joint cooperation and coordination to overcome regional crises and counter terrorism and its dark ideology.

(MENAFN - Gulf Times) Laurent Blanc's Al Rayyan had plenty of chances to score but failed to capitalise as FC Goa, who had limited opportunities upfront, kept their opponents at bay in the AFC Champions League Group E opener on Wednesday.
Blanc cited that Goa showed resilience and the humidity played a part in Al Rayyan's inability to find the net in the goalless draw.
'The weather and humidity played a huge impact on Al Rayyan's level of performance today, said Blanc. 'We did not take advantage of the opportunities at the beginning of the match and that made our task even more difficult.
'Of course that gave Goa the confidence despite we controlling 70 per cent of the match.
'We could have achieved victory, but there was no exploitation of the opportunities we had. We lost two points today, and we have to win against Persepolis.
Despite the points being shared at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Goa head coach Juan Ferrando's charges created history as they announced their arrival into the AFC Champions League group stage.
'We played against a very good team today, against Laurent Blanc, who won the FIFA World Cup in 1998, said Ferrando. 'I'm happy with this point but overall, we need to improve in certain aspects of our game.
'We need to work on our offensive approach. This is the AFC Champions League and it's necessary to prepare ourselves for the best in Asia.
Ferrando has been associated with the Indian football ecosystem for a year and the 40-year-old Spaniard explained the importance of this milestone for Goa and Indian football.
'This is a good moment for us and especially Indian football. Five, six years ago when you're talking about Indian football it was different. We have to go step by step and continue improving. This is not our limit and we have to improve more.
Blanc's men will face Iran's Persepolis tomorrow, while FC Goa will take on UAE's Al Wahda.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatargas has relocated over 12,000 pieces of live coral from nearshore pipelines to offshore protected areas since 2007, including the deployment of over 1,200 artificial reef modules to enrich the local marine environment.
Qatargas presented its marine biodiversity projects to a wide range of stakeholders during a workshop jointly hosted with Qatar University at the Aquatic Fisheries Research Center (AFRC) in Ras Matbakh in February 2023.
Locally fabricated, these reef modules use an environmentally friendly low pH concrete mix; they were installed at recipient sites following comprehensive Marine Environmental Assessments.
Qatargas' multi-year coral management programme also includes long-term, post-relocation monitoring with handover of all relocation zones to the regulatory authorities for incorporation into Qatar's protected natural reserve.
The forum provided a unique opportunity to share biodiversity expertise and best practices from environmental and marine scientists, researchers, and practitioners from the Ministry of Municipality, QatarEnergy, Qatargas, Qatar University, AFRC and other key energy sector companies including ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, North Oil Company, Shell, and Ras Laffan Olefins Company.
Qatargas showcased its environmental initiatives dedicated to preserving Qatar's marine biodiversity, including a range of projects focused on the essential role of coral in protecting the country's vulnerable coastline while providing a sustainable habitat for vibrant populations of fish, sea urchins, algae, and varied flora and fauna.
The workshop also focused on Qatargas' collaborative partnership with Qatar University on a first of its kind coral nursery inaugurated in 2021 at AFRC in Ras Matbakh.
The latest insights and results from coral propagation at the coral nursery were presented and discussed with technical experts and the wider audience, including the potential for the Qatargas coral nursery to be utilised as a national coral bank, thereby contributing to future marine biodiversity and coral protection projects, both in Qatar and the region.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Feb 13 (IANS) The Delhi High Court on Tuesday called for the formation of an expert committee to effectively handle the problem of inadequate infrastructure and manpower at the government hospitals to treat critical care patients.
The division bench of acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora was dealing with a suo motu PIL initiated in 2017 regarding the availability of ICU beds and ventilator facilities at the government hospitals in the national capital.
The court has been stressing for the medical infrastructure to keep pace with the city's population.
On Tuesday, the bench said that the expert committee would come up with ways to augment manpower and infrastructure at the state-run hospitals, and shall submit its first report to the court in four weeks.
“The court is of the opinion that huge investment as well as structural reforms in the functioning of government hospitals without entering into blame game is the need of the hour,” the bench said.
It added:“We deem it expedient to appoint a committee of experts to make recommendations. (The committee would) suggest ways for optimising the existing resources in hospitals in Delhi owned and run by the Centre, Delhi government and MCD.”
In January, the court had questioned the AAP government about the apparent mismatch between demand and available resources. The bench had directed the Delhi government to disclose the amount spent on enhancing the health sector in the last five years.
In December last year, the bench had directed the Delhi government to file a status report outlining its plans to address this issue.
The recent application filed by Amicus Curiae advocate Ashok Aggarwal brought up an incident where a critically injured man, who was reportedly refused treatment at several government hospitals, died after jumping from a moving PCR van.
An official said that the injured man was transferred from one hospital to another, where the unavailability of beds or equipment ultimately led to his death.
The 47-year-old man, Pramod, reportedly died after being denied admission by the Jag Pravesh Chandra (JPC) Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, and Lok Nayak Hospital (LNJP).
During the hearing earlier, the court had questioned how it was possible that no beds were available in four government hospitals, suggesting a shortage of overall bed capacity.
The court had also expressed concern about budget allocation for healthcare getting diverted to other funds and directed the government to explore the feasibility of setting up a central portal indicating real-time information about bed availability in all city hospitals.

(MENAFN- IANS) Kiev, June 7 (IANS) Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes after the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam in southern Ukraine, which Kiev said was "blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive".
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts, The Guardian reported.
Eighty towns and villages may be flooded after the destruction of the dam at Nova Kakhovka, Zelensky, who blamed on Russia for the collapse, was quoted by the BBC as saying.
Water is surging down the Dnipro river, and is said to pose a catastrophic flooding risk to the city of Kherson.
Russia has denied destroying the dam - which it controls - instead blaming Ukrainian shelling, the BBC reported.
The Kakhovka dam, downstream from the huge Kakhovka reservoir, is crucial to the region. It provides water to farmers and residents, as well as to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. It is also a vital channel carrying water south to "Russian-occupied" Crimea, the British news broadcaster said.
Ukraine's state-owned hydropower plants administrator Ukrhydroenergo warned that the peak of a water spill downstream from the emptying reservoir was expected on Wednesday morning.
It said this would be followed by a period of "stabilisation", with the water expected to rapidly recede in four to five days.
There are concerns about the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant - Europe's largest - which uses reservoir water for cooling.
The situation there is said to be under control and there is "no immediate nuclear safety risk" for the plant, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

(MENAFN - AFP) Canada's central bank maintained its key lending rate at 0.5 percent Wednesday in hopes of bolstering lagging business investment, while forecasting an uptick in global growth this year and next.
Financial market volatility and "heightened concerns" about a lack of momentum in the Canadian export-driven economy "appears to be abating," the Bank of Canada said, but the oil rout continues to dampen growth and investments in oil producing nations such as Canada, which is ranked the fifth largest oil producer in the world.
The central bank noted a rebound in commodity prices and the Canadian dollar, from a 12-year low, in recent weeks.
US expansion remains on track, and non-energy exports are picking up, it said.
As a result, Canadian employment has remained strong despite massive job losses in resource-rich regions, notably Alberta province.
However, business investment is still "very weak" due to retrenchment in the resource sector, the bank said.
Household spending continues to underpin domestic demand.
Analysts expected the bank to wait until next month before announcing a change in its monetary policy. On Wednesday the Bank of Canada signaled it wanted to measure the impact of the Canadian government's stimulus budget on March 22 before updating its projections.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned on pledge to spend tens of billions of dollars to spur growth.
"The Bank of Canada tried to say as little as possible today as it waits to see what stimulus the federal budget delivers," commented Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at CIBC Economics.
"So there wasn't much concern expressed here about the rebound in the Canadian dollar and its impact on export growth, but nor was there more than a short nod to growth coming in above expectations in Q4 and likely headed that way in Q1," he added.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Scientists are providing a fuller understanding of the essential role that sleep plays in brain health, identifying an abrupt transition at about 2.4 years of age when its primary purpose shifts from brain building to maintenance and repair.
Researchers on Friday said they conducted a statistical analysis on data from more than 60 sleep studies. They looked at sleep time, duration of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, brain size and body size, and devised a mathematical model for how sleep changes during development.
There are basically two types of sleep, each tied to specific brain waves and neuronal activity. REM, with the eyes moving quickly from side to side behind closed eyelids, is deep sleep with vivid dreams. Non-REM sleep is largely dreamless.
During REM sleep, the brain forms new neural connections by building and strengthening synapses - the junctions between nerve cells, or neurons - that enable them to communicate, reinforcing learning and consolidating memories. During sleep, the brain also repairs the modicum of daily neurological damage it typically experiences to genes and proteins within neurons as well as clearing out byproducts that build up.
At about 2.4 years of age, the findings showed, sleep''s primary function changed from building and cutting connections during REM sleep to neural repair during both REM and non-REM sleep.
"It was shocking to us that this transition was like a switch and so sharp," said Van Savage, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and of computational medicine who is a senior author of the research published in the journal Science Advances.

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post)
The West Bengal government on Thursday verbally moved the chief justice's bench at the Calcutta High Court, seeking permission to file a petition challenging a single bench order that directed the state police not to register any FIR against BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari without permission of the court.
The move came after the Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea of the state government to lodge an FIR against Adhikari in connection with the stampede at a blanket distribution programme in Paschim Bardhaman district's Asansol on Wednesday.
The division bench presided by Chief Justice Prakash Shrivastava allowed the state's verbal prayer seeking leave to file an appeal against a single bench order of December 8 which gave the leader of opposition protection from the filing of further FIRs against him without permission of the high court.
Adhikari's lawyer had told the court of Justice Rajasekhar Mantha that 26 FIRs were filed against him and that it was an orchestrated bid to prevent him from performing any function as a people's representative at the instance of the ruling dispensation in the state.
Directing the state police not to register any more FIRs against the petitioner without the high court's permission, Justice Mantha had stayed all the FIRs referred to in the petition by Adhikari.
At least three persons died and five others were injured in the stampede that happened when people rushed towards the dais in an attempt to get blankets after Adhikari left the venue.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Feb 23 (IANS) Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have accused Google of running "racist, anti-civilisational programming" with its artificial intelligence (AI) models.
This comes after Google paused the ability for Gemini AI to generate images of people, as controversy erupted over inaccuracies in AI-generated historical images.
"I'm glad that Google overplayed their hand with their AI image generation, as it made their insane racist, anti-civilisational programming clear to all," Musk wrote on X.
The controversy erupted when images generated by Gemini AI depicted specific white figures (like the US 'Founding Fathers') Nazi-era German soldiers as“people of colour”.
In an earlier statement, the company said it was aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions.
“Gemini's AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that's generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it's missing the mark here,” the company had admitted.
The Tesla billionaire also targeted Gemini's product lead, Jack Krawczyk.
Krawczyk stated on Wednesday that Gemini's image-generating skills are designed to "reflect our global user base."
"I'm not picking on some rando. This nut is a big part of why Google's AI is so racist & sexist," Musk wrote.
In addition, the tech billionaire stated that he did a Google search on his phone and noticed that the "top two choices are pro-censorship."
Google started offering image generation via its Gemini (formerly Bard) AI platform earlier this month.

Turkish captain says Greek coast guard fired on his ship
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The captain of a Turkish freight ship on Monday said the Greek coast guard opened fire on his vessel after he refused an order to dock at a port in the Aegean Sea.
Sami Kalkavan, captain of the M/V ACT freight ship told broadcaster CNN Turk the coast guard ordered him to dock at the Greek island of Rhodes for inspection, and opened fire after he failed to comply, leaving 16 bullet holes in the vessel.
"The coast guard asked for the ship to be docked at the port at Rhodes immediately, and we did not accept this. They wanted to check (the ship), and we didn't accept that," he told the broadcaster. "They said they would fire if we didn't stop, they did what they said."
Kalkavan did not say why he didn't want the ship to be inspected. He said there was no risk of water intake from the bullet holes.
An official from the Greek shipping ministry confirmed that the coast guard tried to inspect the ship's cargo, adding that the vessel did not cooperate and then moved back to Turkish waters. The official did not comment on whether the coast guard opened fire.
The Greek coast guard declined to comment.
Broadcaster NTV reported that two ships belonging to the Turkish coast guard were at the scene, and it quoted Turkey's foreign ministry as saying it was in contact with the relevant authorities.
Kalkavan confirmed the ship, which had set off from Turkey's southeastern city of Iskenderun near Turkey's Syrian border, had returned to Turkish waters.

(MENAFN) During the third quarter of this year, global oil prices experienced a substantial surge, increasing by nearly 30 percent when compared to the previous quarter. This surge can be attributed to supply constraints resulting from production cuts agreed upon by OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and its allies, with Russia being a prominent member of this alliance.
In particular, Brent crude, which is a widely used benchmark for global oil prices, saw a minor decrease of nearly 0.1 percent to reach USD95.31 per barrel on Friday. However, when looking at the broader picture, it becomes evident that Brent crude had a robust week, with a 2.2 percent increase. Furthermore, it marked an impressive 9.7 percent monthly gain and an astonishing 27.3 percent surge for the quarter.
On the other hand, November West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, another significant indicator of oil prices, saw a one-percentage-point dip, settling at USD90.79 per barrel. Despite this minor setback, it secured a respectable 0.8 percent gain for the week, an 8.6 percent increase for the month, and an extraordinary 28.5 percent surge for the quarter. These substantial price increases are a testament to the impact of production cuts on the global oil market.
