The Samagi Jana Balawegaya says the government will be able to control the pandemic through self isolation, even though it is not willing to impose a lockdown in the country considering the present situation.
Speaking to media in Kandy, National Organiser of the party Tissa Attanayake said the government’s efforts to control the pandemic have failed.
The MP blamed the country’s situation on the government ignoring expert medical advice.
He also recalled that the World Health Organisation pointed out certain protocols to be implemented and curb the community spread, including social distancing, and prompt vaccinations.
The MP called on the public to appreciate efforts of certain traders and residents to self isolate themselves during this time even though the government has refused to impose a lockdown.
He assured Sri Lankans can escape the pandemic if we take care of ourselves and self isolate.
Media also questioned the Parliamentarian over investigations conducted into the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
In reply the Parliamentarian said the government came into power promising justice for the victims, but has not done anything to resolve the issue.
Parliamentarian Attanayake said the present administration stressed that they will ensure national security, but are now trying to shun responsibility.


Ranchi: State BJP president Deepak Prakash said that the central government was providing all possible medical and economical assistance to the state governments in the fight against Coronavirus.
He said that during the start of the lockdown itself a sum of Rs 273 crore was given to the Jharkhand government and apart from that the mineral fund awarded to different districts has been also allowed to be used in the fight against Coronavirus. He said that the Centre not only gave money in Jan Dhan Accounts and Kissan Samman Rashi on the other hand also allocated foodgrains for three months which the state government has failed to ensure proper distribution.
He said that the state government should tell as to how much it has spent from the state's exchequer in this battle as the Chief Minister had announced that the government has set aside Rs 200 crore to battle Coronavirus in the state. He said that by demanding economic package the state government wanted to hide its failures.

Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh today said that police will go tough against militants and their supporters in Kashmir to keep the “prevailing peaceful atmosphere” intact.
He also said that police and the other government forces won’t allow the situation to deteriorate in the wake of Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of his visit to District Police Lines (DPL) Bandipora, Singh talked about the growing number of militant supporters in Kashmir, saying police will act strictly against them including the Over Ground Workers (OGWs).
“It is the OGWs who carry a pistol to do selective killing and throw grenades to target innocent civilians,” he said. “We are going very tough against them.”
On the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the police chief said the prevailing situation in Kashmir won’t be allowed to deteriorate. “The present situation in Kashmir is peaceful and it will remain so,” he said.
The DGP said Bandipora is on a “peaceful track” and the situation has improved here. “In the past few weeks, many top commanders of various militant outfits were killed in encounters, especially the Lashkar-e-Toiba/TRF chief Abbas Sheikh and his aide Saqib in Srinagar,” he said.
He said people heaved a sigh of relief after the killing of the LeT/TRF chief.
“Abbas and his associate were involved in so many activities. After their killing, people are feeling relieved,” the DGP said, adding that the situation is peaceful in other districts too and people are enjoying the “peaceful atmosphere”.
The DGP said that due to the Covid-19 situation, meetings with police officers had slowed down a bit and now that the cases are slowing down, the interactions have once again picked up.


Sen Dems Delay Climate Bill
Both hippies and people who enjoy clean air alike will be dismayed at the news from Senate Democrats that they will wait until September to pursue the broad climate change legislation that has been on the Democrats’ “to-do” list since the 2008 election. –JCL
WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO…
U.S. Senate Democrats said on Thursday they will wait until September at the earliest to take up broad climate-change legislation, a potentially fatal blow to the White House push to curb greenhouse gases.
The delay means Democrats have little time to advance the complex legislation amid intense political pressure in the weeks before November congressional elections.
It also could derail global climate change initiatives, as the world’s major economies and greenhouse gas emitters insist the United States play a leading role.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he plans to bring up a narrower energy bill next week that would revamp offshore oil drilling rules in the wake of the BP oil spill while returning to the broader legislation sometime after senators return from their summer recess in September.

Employees working more with lesser benefits
With the danger of recession and lay offs looming large, more and more employees are delaying their retirement and working more even with lesser benefits.
According to recent surveys, around 59 percent of people who have been surveyed said that there has been a tendency among the Americans to delay their retirement plans. More people are trying to stick to their jobs due to the uncertainty about their future. Around 43 percent of the people said that they were adding to their loans and hardship withdrawals for the retirement savings plan of their company.
The medical plans have also taken a hit due to the recession. More and more companies are also cutting their medical benefits to cope up with the losses of the falling market.

Health authorities in Chiengi district have disclosed that government’s efforts to curb the outbreak of Cholera in the area were being hampered by villagers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) side.
Chiengi District Clinical Officer Thomas Tembo said government has put in place mitigation measures on the Zambian side but these were hampered by villagers across the border.
Mr. Tembo said one of the measures which the Zambia side was implementing was burying all people who die as a result of cholera within 24 hours after their demise.
He said this was however not working well across on the DRC as most of the ethnic groups and tribes there were finding it abominable not to mourn their dead cholera victims.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Tembo said this when Deputy Minister of Health Christopher Mulenga and his delegation toured the district last week.
So far 100 cases of cholera have been recorded in the district and two people have since died.
He said the first two cases that were detected were from DRC and Nchelenge district, respectively, which are both cholera endemic areas.
Mr. Tembo said four environmental health teams were already in place to curb any case of cholera while community sensitizations were ongoing.
He added that village and sanitary inspections in affected areas have been put in place while water sampling and testing were also being applied.
Mr. Tembo has since suggested that Zambia should send a team of health personnel to neighbouring DRC where he said that the United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was already applying a preventive method of adding chlorine to water.
And government has hailed the District Health Management Team (DHMT) in the area for its efforts towards bringing the spread of cholera under control.
Deputy Minister of Health Christopher Mulenga said during the same meeting that government was happy with the control measures employed so far by the District Commissioner’s office in collaboration with the DHMT.
And Mr. Mulenga has told the local leadership in the area that Chiengi district will have its own district hospital with qualified medical personal and equipment to provide quality health services to the people.
Meanwhile, Chiengi District Council Secretary Bryson Kamuchima said the district was calm despite the cholera outbreak in the area.
Mr. Kamuchima however expressed concern at the dilapidated state of the Nchelenge-Chiengi road which he said needed government’s attention urgently.

One of the programs will provide $4 million in tuition support via scholarships and student loan relief to help students pursuing careers in nursing and other health professions, Democratic Gov.

Having Guatemala’s claim to Belizean territory adjudicated at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) — which was endorsed by the majority of Belizean voters through a “yes” vote in the national referendum held yesterday, May 8 — is a lengthy process that will take quite a few years before the court hears the case and make its final determination, which will be binding on both countries.
It could take up to ten years before the ICJ hands down its ruling on the case between Belize and Guatemala.
Today, at a press conference at the Belize City Civic Center, Prime Minister Dean Barrow explained the process that has to be followed for both countries to take the case to the ICJ.
Barrow said that by next week, there will be a meeting of the House of Representatives, at which the government will amend the Maritime Areas Act.
Belize signed the Maritime Areas Act into law as part of its negotiating strategy when it decided to accept a 3-mile limit to its territorial sea, instead of the 12-mile limit that it is entitled to under the Law of the Sea.
Barrow said that the Maritime Areas Act was passed to aid in the negotiations with Guatemala. Now that we are going to court, there is no need for the MAA to continue, he said.
After the Maritime Areas Act is amended, Barrow said, the government will formally inform the ICJ of the referendum results, essentially telling the court that the case is indeed being brought before them.
“We have months to do that,” Barrow said.
After Belize informs the court that the process of submitting the case is in effect, Guatemala will have one year to put forward their “memorialization,” or claim.
Belize will also have one year to put forward their memorialization, after Guatemala has submitted theirs.
Following that, both sides will have an additional six months to reply to each other’s case.
Barrow stressed that the amendment to the Maritime Areas Act will be done so that Belize has its full entitlement to territory that is covered under the 1859 Treaty.
Barrow said that he would have liked to go to the House with the amendment to the MAA next week, but he has to give the Opposition enough time to study the proposed amendment.
Barrow was also asked if the government would try to work out a Sarstoon Protocol.
Barrow said that he raised that issue when the Guatemalan president, Jimmy Morales, visited Belize for the SICA Conference, and that he told him that “we should try to come to some arrangement.”
Nothing was agreed upon by the two countries, however.
Barrow was also asked whether the Belizean public will be made aware of the details of Guatemala’s claim after they have submitted that claim to the court.
Barrow said he is not sure, but he plans to find out.
In addition, he was asked exactly what is it that Guatemala wants from Belize.
“As soon as we know, we should communicate that,” Barrow replied.
Barrow said that the government has hired three firms to work on Belize’s case. The Prime Minister, however, could not say exactly how much money it will cost to take Belize’s case to the ICJ.Amandala

: During the February 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O’Reilly suggested that the United States “hand over everything to the Iraqis as fast as humanly possible” because “[t]here are so many nuts in the country — so many crazies — that we can’t control them.” O’Reilly then claimed that the “big mistake” was actually “the crazy-people underestimation.”

About 5,000 children have lost a parent to COVID-19, and impacts from the pandemic on the youngsters are worse than the tsunami tragedy, according to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Rajanagarindra Institute (Camri).
Dutsadee Juengsiragulwit, the institute director, said the Department of Mental Health is mobilising efforts to support bereaved children whose number is expected to rise as infections soar.
She said each child will be interviewed by experts to determine their mental health and the support they need to make sure their grieving does not also hinder their education and their future.
She said the pandemic has affected children in other ways as they have been forced to switch to online classes and many have seen their parents lose their jobs.
Isolation and economic hardship during the pandemic can cause stress and take a heavy toll on mental health, said Dr Juengsiragulwit.
Supatcha Suthipol, director-general of the Department of Children and Youth, said four agencies are working to provide support to the children.
These agencies have joined hands with Unicef in setting up a support centre with assistance and support being extended to children who have lost a parent to the virus, she said.
She said the department provides 2,000 baht in support to foster families who are their relatives, but children who have no families will be placed in department care homes that can accommodate 1,935 people.
She said the department is also upgrading its mobile Khrumkhrong Dek (protecting children) application to boost help for children who have lost a parent.
Nicola Brandt, child protection specialist at Unicef, said the agency is ready to support efforts to reach out to the young, and welcomed investments in services to support children’s health, safety, and well-being.

Rejecting the Afghan Taliban’s statement that India has been playing a negative role in the country for the past 40 years, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gran Hewad, said that Afghanistan’s relations with India are within international frameworks and based on mutual respect.
