Oman to hike fuel prices, taxes as oil revenues fall
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Oman's government will hike fuel prices, charges for public services and corporate taxes in the face of falling oil prices, the official ONA agency reported on Wednesday.
Non-Opec Oman is the latest Gulf state to announce austerity plans amid falling oil revenues that have led to big budget deficits.
"The council of ministers has approved a number of measures to face the consequences from the drop in oil prices and to ensure fiscal sustainability," ONA cited a cabinet statement as saying.
"These measures include reducing government spending and boosting non-oil revenues through raising taxes on corporate profits, increasing charges on some public services and amending fuel prices to be in line with international levels as from mid-January," the statement said.
The cabinet also approved a 2016-2020 development plan and the 2016 budget but provided no details.
Omani oil revenues have dropped by more than 60% as oil prices have plunged from about $100 a barrel to below $40 since mid-2014.
It has projected a budget deficit of $6.5bn for 2015, but the International Monetary Fund has warned the shortfall may be much bigger.
Oman, a member of the energy-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), is a relatively small producer of crude, pumping about 1mn barrels per day.
Saudi Arabia on Monday announced massive hikes to the prices of fuel products, electricity, water and other utilities to face a growing budget deficit as oil revenues have dropped.
The United Arab Emirates earlier liberalised fuel prices and Kuwait and Bahrain have lifted subsidies on diesel and kerosene. Kuwait also plans to end subsidies on petrol soon.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
Brussels, Belgium: NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Saturday urged Ukraine and its allies not to "lose heart" as Russian President Vladimir Putin presses his bloody offensive two years into the war.
"The situation on the battlefield remains extremely serious. President Putin's aim to dominate Ukraine has not changed, and there are no indications that he is preparing for peace," Stoltenberg said in a recorded message to mark the second anniversary of the invasion.
"But we must not lose heart. Ukraine has demonstrated remarkable skill and fierce determination again and again."
The second anniversary of the invasion comes as Ukraine's outgunned troops are struggling to hold the front line and doubts swirl over future support from the United States.
Stoltenberg pointed to recent promises of military aid from NATO states "worth billions of dollars".
"These cover key capabilities like artillery ammunition, air defence, and combat boats. As well as F-16 equipment and spare parts, drones, and demining equipment.
"More support is on the way."
Stoltenberg said Putin had started his war to close the door to eventual NATO membership for Kyiv.
"But he has achieved the exact opposite: Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before," he said.
"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when. As we prepare you for that day, NATO will continue to stand with Ukraine. For your security, and for ours."

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - The Kingdom is expected to yield 33,000 tonnes of olive oil this season, according to Olive Oil Producer and Mill Owner Syndicate Spokesperson Mahmoud Al Omari.
The yield marks an over 30 per cent increase compared with last year's production volume, which reached 25,000 tonnes, he told The Jordan Times.
Omari also noted the Kingdom's 12 million olive trees produced 200,000 tonnes of fruit this season.
The Ministry of Agriculture announced that the 146 licensed olive mills across Jordan will start receiving olive harvests for pressing on October 25, he added.
Omari estimates the price of a 16kg tin of olive oil will range between JD85 to JD90, depending on its quality as well as other factors related to supply and demand.
Director General of the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) Nizar Haddad noted the centre provides both consumers and farmers with free-of-charge analysis to verify the quality of the olive oil.
The 23rd edition of the annual 10-day National Olive Festival and the Rural Products Exhibition, organised by NARC, will take place on November 23 in Mecca Mall in Amman.
“We invite all consumers to come and enjoy cultural events, savour the taste of Jordan's rural cuisine, and buy authentic rural products, most importantly olive oil,” he told The Jordan Times.
Each can of oil sold during the festival will be labelled with a QR-code including all quality assurance information, he added.
NARC's labs will also be providing analysis and quality control services at the festival for all visitors who wish to test olive oil samples, according to Haddad.

(MENAFN- Khaama Press) Netflix surprised the world this week, saying it plans to finally address the rampant practice of password sharing.
More than 100 million households are using a shared password, Netflix said on Tuesday, including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada.
But the video streamer doesn't plan to simply freeze those shared accounts. Instead, the company will likely favor the setting of an extra fee for those accounts being used by multiple people outside of the home.
Netflix's plan to capture that lost revenue would start with an alert being sent to account holders whose passwords are being used by other households.
The company has already started a test of this feature in Peru, Costa Rica and Chile. For accounts that are sharing a password across addresses, Netflix is charging an additional fee to add“sub accounts” for up to two people outside the home. The pricing is different per country - about $2.13 per month in Peru, $2.99 in Costa Rica, and $2.92 in Chile, based on current exchange rates.
The company also allows people who use a shared password to transfer their personalized profile information to either a new account or a sub-account, allowing them to keep their viewing history and recommendations.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton recently gave the state just what the doctor ordered. Seeking to curb rocketing costs in the state budget’s fastest growing category, he ordered HMOs that provide state health care plans to go through a competitive bid process as well as enact rules that would ensure more accountability.
Dayton did this by executive order, and won praise from both Democrats and Republicans.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Jerusalem: Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Wednesday slammed theArgentinanational football team over the cancellation of a planned friendly against Israel in Jerusalem, calling it a surrender to hate.
"It's a shame thatArgentina's footballing nobility did not withstand the pressure from Israeli-hating inciters," he wrote on Twitter in the first response from an Israeli cabinet minister.
The Israeli embassy inArgentinaearlier announced the "suspension" of Saturday's sold-out game because of what it called "threats and provocations" against Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
The World Cup warmup appearance in Jerusalem was hotly opposed by Palestinians, who claim the eastern part of the city, annexed by Israel, as the capital of their future state.
The Jewish state considers the entire city its own "indivisible" capital.
TheArgentinaabout-turn comes at a time of fierce criticism of the Israeli army over the use of lethal force against Palestinian protesters on the Gaza Strip border with the Jewish state.
Gazans have since March 30 been holding border protests demanding the return of Palestinians to land they fled or were expelled from during the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation, now inside the Jewish state.
At least 125 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire on the frontier since March 30.
The sole aim of opponents of the Jerusalem game, Lieberman said Wednesday, was "to strike at our basic right to self-defence and to bring about the destruction of Israel".
"We shall not surrender to a group of anti-semites," he added.

Revision of rates, renewal of licenses among other issues to come up for discussion
Srinagar- Following sealing of more than 100 mutton shops in the Valley by Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Kashmir to control pricing, stakeholders associated with the trade said they are scheduled to meet divisional administration authorities on Saturday to discuss the future course on the sale of mutton.
Kashmir witnessed a brief shortage of mutton after the officials from the enforcement team of FCS&CA intensified the drive against the erring mutton shopkeepers violating the government rate on mutton.
General Secretary all Kashmiri Mutton Dealers Association Mehrajuddin said that they are scheduled to meet the divisional administrative authorities to discuss the revision of mutton rates and renewal of licenses.
“Last time the rate of mutton was revised in 2021 and the price fixed was Rs 535. Though the order was valid for six months only, it was extended later. Now we have prepared a fresh draft and are meeting divisional administration tomorrow”, he said.
Director Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Kashmir Abdul Salam Mir confirmed that a meeting with mutton stakeholders is scheduled tomorrow regarding the revision of the rate and that they will share further details about the meeting tomorrow.
Refuting the reports of mutton shortage in the market, Director Kashmir FCS&CA said that there is no mutton shortage in the market, stating that over the past 10 days around 150- 200 trucks of sheep have arrived in the valley.
“Every day on average 10 sheep-laden trucks reach the valley, but due to inclement weather for the last many days there must be a temporary halt in supply. But there is no mutton shortage in the market as the supply is adequate,” he said. (KNO)

(MENAFN- The Rio Times) In the third quarter of 2023, Chile's economy saw a 0.6% growth compared to the same period in the previous year.
On Monday, the Central Bank announced this as the first increase of the year. The "National Quarterly Accounts" report was the source of this information.
It showed that Chile's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose mainly from mining, personal services, and sectors dealing with electricity, gas, water, and waste management.
The report also pointed out drops in other areas. These include trade, business services, transport, and manufacturing.
Looking at spending, a rise in net exports mainly drove economic activity. This had the biggest impact on boosting the GDP.
Imports, on the other hand, saw a decrease of 10.9%. A lower demand within the country offset this.
Household spending also went down by 3.6%. People spent less on both short-lasting and long-lasting goods.
Exports slightly increased by 0.2% during this period. There were more shipments of chemicals, cellulose, fruits, and tourism services.
But, exports like copper, lithium, wood, and wine saw declines.
The country's overall investment and gross fixed capital formation dropped, particularly in machinery and equipment.
Lastly, the Central Bank updated GDP figures for the first and second quarters.
The first quarter's GDP improved from -0.8% to -0.7%. The second quarter's GDP went from -1.1% to -0.8%.

PYONGYANG, May 26 (NNN-KCNA) – The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), yesterday, denounced the establishment of a trilateral information-sharing mechanism, among the U.S., Japan and South Korea, on the margins of the Group of Seven Summit in Hiroshima.
Leaders of the three countries recently reaffirmed the real-time sharing of a (DPRK) missile alert information, a mechanism they were committed to setting up last Nov, proving that“the project of establishing a tripartite information sharing system is being pushed forward at the final stage.”
The United States is keen on forming the trilateral military alliance, an“Asian version of NATO,” in Northeast Asia, as the region witnesses an ever more frequent deployment of U.S. strategic assets and the more publicised occurrence of U.S.-Japan-South Korea joint military exercises.
In Apr, the establishment of the U.S.-South Korea“Nuclear Consultative Group,” which Japan plans to join, proved that,“the triangular military cooperation between the three countries will soon be shaped into a NATO-style nuclear cooperation alliance.” And the addition of real-time tripartite information sharing means,“the emergence of the actual U.S.-Japan-South Korea military alliance, with the single nerve centre in Northeast Asia.”
The report lashed out at Washington, for cooking up the“Asian-version of NATO” to secure its military edge in the Asia-Pacific region, saying,“The U.S. vicious scenario for confrontation is the most serious threat to global peace and security.”– NNN-KCNA

(MENAFN- AFP) Two men have been charged in Singapore with illegally renting out apartments on Airbnb, the first such prosecutions in the city-state under new rules, local media reported Wednesday.
Regulations introduced in May ban homeowners from leasing property for less than three months without approval from authorities, meaning many short-term rentals on Airbnb should be illegal.
Housing policy is tightly controlled in space-starved Singapore, where 80 percent of the population lives in public housing which is subsidised by the government.
Singaporeans Terence Tan En Wei, 35, and Yao Song Liang, 34, appeared in court Tuesday charged with illegally leasing out four apartments in a luxury private condominium in central Singapore, according to court documents seen by AFP.
The Straits Times newspaper reported that they had used Airbnb. They face a fine of up to Sg$200,000 ($148,000) if convicted.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority, which regulates housing, said it would take action against anyone responsible for letting out property for short-term accommodation.
Despite the new rules, California-headquartered Airbnb remains popular in Singapore with the company saying it has over 8,700 listings in the city-state.
An Airbnb spokesman said current rules do not reflect how Singaporeans use their homes and travel, and the company hoped to work with local authorities to find a way forward.
"The current framework also stands in contrast with Singapore's commitment to innovation," the spokesman said.
Airbnb, which allows homeowners to share their homes for a fee by marketing them online, has become a popular and often cheaper alternative to hotels for many travellers.
But the company has faced mounting criticism that it worsens housing shortages and squeezes the long-term rental sector, with cities including New York, Miami and Berlin cracking down on it.
In central Paris, rentals are limited to 120 days a year and apartments must be registered with city authorities. A similar limit applies in London.

Fitch expects to provide financial relief to Egypt with UAE partnership, possible IMF assistance
(MENAFN) In a recent statement, credit rating agency Fitch highlighted the significance of the USD35 billion Ras El Hekma project agreement between Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in alleviating external liquidity constraints for Egypt. Fitch underscored that this collaboration could also pave the way for adjustments in the exchange rate, a move deemed favorable for potential International Monetary Fund (IMF) assistance.
According to Fitch, the adjustment of the exchange rate holds promise in incentivizing the IMF to endorse an enhanced support program for Egypt, a development eagerly awaited by Egyptian authorities. This sentiment was echoed by Kristalina Georgieva, Director of the IMF, who indicated earlier this week that substantial progress had been made in resolving key issues pertaining to the review of a USD3 billion loan program with Egypt. Georgieva expressed optimism regarding the imminent finalization of additional financing arrangements within the coming weeks, as reported by Reuters.
Despite these positive developments, Fitch cautioned that Egypt will continue to grapple with significant economic and financial hurdles, exerting pressure on its credit standing. The agency's report emphasized that Egypt's macroeconomic landscape is poised to remain challenging throughout the fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Challenges are expected to manifest in the form of elevated inflation rates and a relatively subdued growth trajectory, underscoring the need for sustained efforts to navigate through ongoing economic complexities.

(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Turkey to facilitate the release of a specific person from Ukrainian detention, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, commenting on a prisoner exchange arranged by Turkey.
Erdogan, the Turkish president, stated amid speaking to reporters, “One of the names was repeated many times by Mr. Putin. We have already sent this person to Russia.”
Turkey acted as a go-between for a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine earlier this week. Some of the Ukrainian fighters released by Russia will remain in Turkey as "guests," according to Erdogan.
While Erdogan did not name the person transferred to Russia, whose fate he stated was of great interest to Putin, some media sources assumed that he was talking to Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk.
According to officials in Kiev and the Russia-allied Donetsk People's Republic, the lawmaker was granted release as part of the deal (DPR).
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated that his country had provided 200 fighters for the individual, whom he referred to as a "fan of Russia." He also indicated that five senior members of the Azov battalion, a unit with openly neo-Nazi ideology among its members, will remain in Turkey.
Denis Pushilin, the DPR's leader, credited Medvedchuk with mediating many prisoner exchanges between DPR militia and Kiev in the past, which explains why the Ukrainian national was included in this week's trade.

(MENAFN) In order to prevent Tehran from gaining nuclear weapons, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that penalties and military threats are the preferred methods of dealing with Iran.
Three days after a drone strike generally thought to be by Israel damaged a military installation in the Islamic Republic, Netanyahu addressed CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday, “if you have rogue regimes that are [intending to get] nuclear weapons, you can sign 100 agreements with them, it doesn’t help.”
He also mentioned that “I think the only way that you can stop or abstain from getting nuclear weapons is a combination of crippling economic sanctions, but the most important thing is a credible military threat.”
The attack on Saturday, which apparently used three tiny drones carrying explosives and fired from a nearby site, reportedly struck a military structure in the city of Isfahan in central Iran.
Tehran has refrained from officially claiming responsibility for the blast and has played down the incident, saying it caused only minimal damage. It was an Israeli operation, according to United States and Israeli media, and it was reportedly a huge success. Netanyahu declined to either confirm or deny his government’s involvement.

Gas leaks at Nord Stream 1, 2 pipelines “are not a coincidence”
(MENAFN) European Union foreign policy head Josep Borrell stated on Wednesday that the gas leaks at the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines "are not a coincidence" and that Brussels would assist any probe "aimed at getting full clarity."
He made a statement without mentioning the potential perpetrators, “all available information indicates those leaks are the result of a deliberate act.” He continued by promising "to take further steps to increase our resilience in energy security" because such disasters harm the entire European Union.
Borrell cautioned, “any deliberate disruption of European energy infrastructure is utterly unacceptable and will be met with a robust and united response.”
His remarks follow Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde's suggestion that sabotage could have been involved in the disclosures; an inquiry into the case is still ongoing.
On Twitter, she posted, “Gas leaking from Nord Stream 1 & 2 in [Swedish and Danish] exclusive economic zones are consequences of detonations, probably caused by sabotage. We continue to collect information and do not rule out any cause, actor or motive.”

(MENAFN) According to a recent report by S&P Global Ratings, Saudi Arabia's banking sector has experienced rapid growth in recent years, primarily propelled by mortgages and continued government support. The Saudi government has played a pivotal role in facilitating the expansion of banks' mortgage portfolios and improving the structure of their balance sheets, aligning with the objective of achieving a 70 percent home ownership rate outlined in Vision 2030.
S&P Global Ratings emphasized that the government has created the necessary infrastructure to enable banks to divest their mortgage portfolios and enhance the quality of their balance sheets. This strategic move aims to increase access to affordable housing and promote home ownership, which are critical components of the country's long-term development goals.
The report highlighted the growth disparity between private sector deposits and deposits from the government and its related entities. Over the past five years, private sector deposit growth averaged around 5 percent, while government deposits experienced significant growth of 14 percent. At the end of 2022, the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) held substantial deposits from the government amounting to SR637.5 billion (USD170 billion).
S&P Global Ratings pointed out that this significant government deposit base with SAMA provides the potential for easing liquidity constraints. In response to liquidity stress in 2022, SAMA intervened by injecting SR50 billion into the banking system. The agency expects that SAMA will continue to provide liquidity support to the banking sector when needed.
Dr. Mohamed Damak, Senior Director and Head of Islamic Finance at S&P Global Ratings, emphasized the continued importance of the Saudi banking system in financing Vision 2030 projects. He projected high single-digit percentage loan growth in the coming years, highlighting that banks can achieve this by mobilizing additional resources through deposits or local and international issuances.
The report's findings indicate the positive outlook for Saudi Arabia's banking sector, as it continues to serve as a crucial source of funding for the ambitious projects outlined in Vision 2030. The government's support in enhancing the structure of banks' balance sheets, coupled with the potential for increased liquidity through government deposits, bodes well for the sector's ability to meet the financing needs of key developmental initiatives.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, believes that England has unearthed a "world-class superstar" in the young off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who has the potential to replicate the success of India's Ravichandran Ashwin.
Despite England's recent defeat in Ranchi, the 20-year-old Bashir, playing only his second Test, showcased his talent with an impressive match haul of eight wickets, including a noteworthy five-wicket performance in the first innings.
Ashwin, a stalwart off-spinner in Test cricket, recently achieved the milestone of 500 wickets and is poised for his 100th Test in Dharamsala against England.
Describing Bashir as the "new Ravi Ashwin," Vaughan expressed excitement about the emergence of this potential superstar in English cricket. Despite India securing the series win, Vaughan is optimistic about England's performance in the upcoming Test in Dharamsala, anticipating a victory given the team's best XI and favourable cold conditions.
"One of the great weeks, celebrating another world-class superstar that we've unearthed, Shoaib Bashir. That's what we're celebrating. Second Test match, eight wickets, he's the new Ravi Ashwin, and we've unearthed him.
"So, we're celebrating a new superstar in English cricket," Vaughan said on Club Prairie Fire's YouTube channel.
"They will go with their best XI. It's going to be cold in Dharamsala and it will suit England. I expect England to win," Vaughan said.

Decrease in oil costs before OPEC supply conference
(MENAFN) In anticipation of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' (OPEC) meeting and its decision on supply for August, oil costs declined on Thursday.
Benchmark Brent oil costs were USD112.23 a barrel at 06:55 GMT, down 0.20 percent from the prior session's ending cost of USD112.45 per barrel.
American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI), which finished the previous session at USD109.78 per barrel, was exchanging at USD109.44 a barrel at the same time, down 0.31 percent.
Investors are waiting for the OPEC+ meeting later today to see how much oil is going to be produced throughout the summer. A drop in demand owing to concerns about the state of the world economy caused oil costs to decline in the prior session.
Markets are anticipating an OPEC decision to potentially raise supplies in order to allay fears over a tight supply. Additionally, rising fear of a recession as well as a downturn in the global economy keep the cost of oil under pressure.
Based on the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in contrast to the market estimate of a reduction of 110,000 barrels, United States commercial crude oil stocks dropped by 2.8 million barrels to 415.6 million barrels’ previous week.

(MENAFN) One year after Boeing’s crashed 737 Max got back to work, as it experienced the biggest grounding in the history of aviation, most of the industry believes that the airplane is safe and secure as any other plane.
Aviation safety consultant and NBC News analyst John Cox, reported in a meeting with CNBC’s “American Greed,” “The question I get asked most frequently is, ‘Would you get on a Max?’ And the answer to that is yes, without question, and I would put my family on one.”
The big question is will Boeing be able to evade the severity of faults, shortcuts and management deficits which resulted in the death of 346 persons in two 737 Max smashes in 2018 and 2019 — the plane’s flight-control system was blamed for it.
U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon, mentioned in a meeting, “I had hoped that this would be a major reckoning.” He added, “They would bring in someone new and they would say, ‘No, we’re going to go back to being what we were — the best aerospace engineering company in the world, and we’re not going to watch the daily stock price.’ But that didn’t happen.”

Kolkata, Aug 15 (IANS) BJP Lok Sabha member from Bishnupur constituency in Bankura district of West Bengal, Saumitra Khan, on Monday claimed that several Trinamool Congress insiders including senior office bearers are informing central agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) of the financial embezzlements carried out by different party leaders.
Khan specially named Trinamool Congress' state general secretary and the party spokesman, Kunal Ghosh, who had recently been censured by his party leadership about commenting on any issue to the media.
'There are Trojan horses within Trinamool Congress only. Kunal Ghosh met the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan. Since then, he had been passing on information to ED and CBI. When Kunal was arrested by the West Bengal police earlier in connection with the Saradha Ponzi scam, senior Trinamool Congress leaders like Partha Chatterjee celebrated. So now it is time for him to enjoy the show. But Ghosh is not alone. There are several other Trinamool Congress insiders who are supplying regular information to the central agencies,' Khan said.
Reacting to such comments, Ghosh said that Khan is speaking like a 'circus clown'.
'If he has definite clues in support of this claim he can email it to chief minister Mamata Banerjee and the party's national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee. Actually, I was responsible for persuading Khan's wife Sujata to joint Trinamool Congress last year. He is now taking revenge for that,' he said.
However, Ghosh, a former Rajya Sabha member of Trinamool Congress, did not deny his meeting with Dharmendra Pradhan.
'But that meeting happened in the presence of many other people. Such allegations by Khan are baseless,' he said.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Since the middle of 2023, Russia has begun to supplement Iran's Shahed one-way attack UAVs with components manufactured at domestic factories. Now the Russians are trying to make improvements to the design based on operational experience.
The British Ministry of Defense reported this on the X social network with reference to intelligence data, Ukrinform saw.
According to intelligence, late November 2023 the reports came that the downed Russian UAV was equipped with a Ukrainian SIM card and a 4G modem. This is likely a Russian improvised modification to improve real-time navigation using cell towers to reduce reliance on satellites.
It is likely that this is also an attempt to hamper Ukraine's electronic warfare efforts. Some other Russian-made UAVs have been painted black, making it difficult to visually identify the drones at night. Read also:
Forty-one enemy drones
downed over Ukraine last night
Russia is increasingly using one-way attack UAVs in mass strikes, trying to exhaust Ukrainian air defenses. However, Ukraine continues to successfully intercept most of them, the agency concludes.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) previously warned that Russian troops had begun to attack Ukrainian infrastructure using new Italmas drones.
Russian Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov claimed almost all imported drones that Russia employs today had been delivered from China.

President COP28 Sultan Al Jaber
DUBAI, Dec 11 (NNN-KBC) - Oil rich Azerbaijan will host the next conference of the United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP29) in 2024, after days of marathon lobbying by the Eastern European nation.
The country managed to wither strong competition from Armenia, which was also bidding to host the 2024 round of the climate talks.
The development comes amid a stiff stalemate at the ongoing COP28 in Dubai, with only four days before the meet closes here in the United Arab Emirates.
Speaking in Dubai, the COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber urged countries to come out of their comfort zones and soften their hard stances.
“I need you to step up and come out of your comfort zones. I kindly ask you all to be flexible and to truly and genuinely engage in deliberations and discussions.“ Jaber urged.
There are two thorny issues that are remaining to thrash out by the ministerial sessions one being the issue of fossil fuels and the other one on climate adaptation.
The Country Director Trees For The Future Vincent Mainga spoke to Channel 1 at the sidelines of the conference saying Kenya is looking at accelerated action in-terms of working towards the global commitments in achieving climate action goals.
“We are looking forward from moving from top, from policy and accelerating the action in terms of ambition in terms of mitigation, adaptation and action towards achieving some of the commitments that have been put forward in the previous Conference of Parties.“
Adding that:“ Climate adaptation is the in thing in Africa, most of our communities rely largely in natural resources. We are delighted that we are moving towards adaptation mechanisms that are locally adapted to suit our situation in Africa.“ - NNN-KBC

(MENAFN) The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Georgia have signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two countries. The agreement will see the reduction of tariffs and the removal of other barriers to trade, paving the way for increased bilateral trade and investment. The deal was signed by the UAE’s foreign trade minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi and Georgia’s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Levan Davitashvili.
The UAE and Georgia have seen significant growth in their trade and investment ties in recent years, with bilateral non-oil trade increasing by 110 percent year-on-year in 2022, totaling USD468 million. The UAE is now the largest trading partner for Georgia among Arab countries, accounting for more than 63 percent of its total trade volume. Additionally, the UAE is the sixth largest global investor in Georgia, with its funding representing 5 percent of Georgia’s total foreign direct investments.
Al Zeyoudi sees the agreement as a major step forward for both countries' private sectors, opening up new opportunities for trade and investment. He emphasized the UAE's commitment to building a global network of trade partners in strategically important parts of the world. Al Zeyoudi also highlighted Georgia's promising economic potential for UAE exporters and investors, particularly in priority sectors such as agriculture, transportation, tourism, renewable energy, and digital trade.
Davitashvili echoed Al Zeyoudi's optimism, stating that concluding the negotiations in only three rounds is a testament to the dedication of both parties to strengthen their already well-established bilateral relationship. He believes that the establishment of a free trade regime between Georgia and the UAE will benefit both countries. Georgia's strategic location and business environment make it an ideal gateway for UAE companies to the region, while the FTA will provide extended opportunities to promote and develop different industries in Georgia and increase and diversify Georgian exports.
The signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is expected to further boost trade and investment ties between the UAE and Georgia, enhancing their economic cooperation and driving growth for both countries. The agreement also reflects the UAE's continued efforts to expand its trade partnerships globally and establish itself as a key player in the global economy.

(MENAFN- AFP) The interest rate which Spain must pay to borrow money for 10 years rose sharply to more than 5.0 percent in early trading on Monday to the highest level since the beginning of April.
The yield, or interest rate, on 10-year debt bonds rose to 5.065 percent from 4.912 percent late on Friday.
The rate on 10-year Italian date also rose sharply to 4.731 percent from 4.619 percent.
The bond borrowing rate is of critical importance, particularly to countries such as Spain and Italy which have come under strong pressure on the debt market in the last two years over the high level of their public debt.
Interest rates on bonds issued by many emerging countries and by eurozone countries in difficulties have risen in recent weeks on signs that the US Federal Reserve central bank might soon begin winding down its special easy-money measures which have supported the US economy and also US investment abroad.
Last week the Fed sent a clear message that it would indeed begin winding down its policy and this pushed stock markets down and bond yields up further, notably on US treasury bonds.
Yields on bonds issued by eurozone countries under pressure such as Greece, Ireland, Spain and Italy had fallen markedly since the end of last year.
This had sharply reduced tension over the eurozone debt crisis, owing to a commitment by the European Central Bank to support such bonds if necessary, albeit on tough conditions requiring reforms.
Governments finance their public deficits and debt by issuing bonds, or debt instruments, for fixed periods at a fixed interest rate for the life of the bond.
If the perceived risk attached to the bond then changes, for example rises, some investors sell the bonds and depress the price. The fixed interest automatically rises relative to the new lower price.
The new rate signals the interest which the government will have to pay when it next wants to borrow.
It was this process which put Spain and Italy, for example, at risk of having to pay unsustainably high interest rates to finance their public spending and debt repayments.

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer)
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, left, speaks during a joint statement with Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, at the Knesset, Israel's parliament
Jerusalem- Israel's parliament voted Thursday to dissolve itself and send the country to the polls in November for the fifth time in less than four years.
Yair Lapid, Israel's foreign minister and architect of the outgoing coalition government, will become the country's caretaker prime minister just after midnight on Friday. He will be the 14th person to hold that office, taking over from Naftali Bennett, Israel's shortest serving prime minister.
The government collapsed just over a year after it was formed in a historic move that saw longtime leader Benjamin Netanyahu ousted after 12 years in power by a coalition of ideologically diverse parties, the first to include an Arab faction.
The motion to dissolve passed with 92 lawmakers in favour, and none opposing, after days of bickering by coalition and opposition lawmakers over the date of new elections and other last minute legislation.
New elections will be held on November 1.
The move brings a formal end to a political experiment in which eight parties from across the Israeli spectrum tried to find common ground after a period of prolonged gridlock in which the country held four elections in two years. (AP)

(MENAFN- GetNews) Furnifity products focus on design and functionality by combining general furniture concepts with household solutions
Furnifity, an FBA business with offices based across the USA and Vietnam, is about to expand to D2C Market due to the rising demand for smart household solutions. Its main brand includes Airify Max, which pursues the image of a safe and natural odor-removing furniture product, keeping both the planet and people healthy.
Established as a modern online furniture company in 2020, it produces a range of products including AirHero charcoal odor absorber on Kickstarter, AirifyMax , Faux & Natural Pampas Grass, and DIY Candle Kit.
Design products like no others
Their top-selling product, Airify Max, uses natural materials with smell and humidity adsorption capabilities unique to the strongest charcoal in the market. Each piece can be fit virtually anywhere, from the closet, the cabinet, inside the car to use as a shoe deodorizer, and inside the gym bag. Not to mention, the coconut activated charcoal proves it is safe to use as a pet odor eliminator compared to any harmful air fresheners.
The team made a mission to replace the bamboo charcoal simply because coconut husks produce the least amount of carbon emissions and are biodegradable and widely abundant as leftovers.
AirifyMax is on a discount only available for a limited time.
After the successful sales on Amazon, Furnifity foresees itself taking a significant share of the global market so it has plans to extend to Direct-to-customers and Crowdfunding this November.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Marija Pejčinović Burić, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, emphasizes that the atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine confirm that the move to expel Russia from the Council of Europe was correct.
That's according to the top official's speech at a foreign ministerial in Turin on Friday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
Noting that she visited Ukraine last week, the CoE Secretary General emphasized:“I have seen with my own eyes the destruction and suffering caused by Russia's brutal aggression, which, unfortunately, is continuing. I will never forget Borodyanka and Irpin. The history of violence is appalling: it is nothing but the rape, torture, and killing of civilians and combatants, women and men, girls and boys. All this confirms to us that the decision to expel Russia from the Council of Europe was the right one. Not only has this country violated the Charter of our organization – it also rejects the values and principles that it must defend.' Read also:

At the same time, Pejčinović Burić stressed that supporting Ukraine is a top priority for the Council of Europe.
She announced the resumption of work of the CoE's office in Kyiv.
'We are also determined to help member states guarantee the fundamental rights of Ukrainian refugees, both through the financial support from our Development Bank and through the assistance provided by my Special Representative for Migration and Refugees,' the Council of Europe Secretary General added.
As Ukrinform reported, a meeting of foreign ministers of Council of Europe member states took place in Turin (Italy) today, where the participants condemned Russia, reaffirmed assistance to Ukraine, and set further priorities for the organization.

(MENAFN) In order to minimize its dependence on Russian energy, the United States granted exemptions to Spanish and Italian oil companies to acquire Venezuelan crude.
According to media on Sunday, the US State Department granted exemptions to Repsol SA of Spain and Eni SpA of Italy to resume transporting Venezuelan oil to Europe.
Venezuela is demanding the money from the two companies for work that was not completed as a result of US sanctions imposed on Caracas.
According to sources, the two oil companies, which were forced by the United States to end their oil-for-debt deals in mid-2020, will now begin operations as early as next month.
The US State Department secretly wrote letters to Repsol and Eni last month suggesting that Washington “would not oppose” if the oil giants pursued oil-for-debt deals and moved the oil to Europe, where countries are facing rising energy prices.

(MENAFN) Billionaire Harvard alumnus Bill Ackman has accused Harvard University of discriminatory practices against white males, as well as Asian and Indian men, arguing that the prestigious institution has "lost its way." In a recent address to Harvard President Claudine Gay, Ackman criticized the university's alleged bias, stating that anti-Semitism serves as an indicator of broader discriminatory practices at Harvard.
Ackman gained attention in October when he urged President Gay to release the names of students who had signed a letter attributing blame to Israel for the violence following a Hamas attack. The CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management contended that disclosure of these names would help executives avoid hiring individuals associated with such views.
In his recent communication, Ackman asserted that Harvard's discrimination extends beyond issues related to Jews and Israel. He claimed that straight white males face discrimination in recruitment and advancement at Harvard, and this bias is also directed, to a somewhat lesser extent, at men of Asian or Indian origin.
According to Ackman, Harvard's Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (OEDIB) views the world through a framework of oppressors and the oppressed, where the oppressor class includes white males, Asians, Jews, and individuals perceived as successful and powerful.
Ackman strongly emphasized that this discrimination is not only illegal but also detrimental to the nation's competitiveness, particularly in a world marked by growing geopolitical conflict and turmoil.
The allegations by Ackman bring attention to the broader debate around diversity and inclusion on university campuses and raise questions about the impact of such practices on academic environments. Harvard University has not yet responded publicly to these specific allegations.
