Prime Minister Oli claims that the president sought to bring the Rajya Sabha to a controversy and bring the monarchy back to the monarchy.
Oli claimed that the reactionists are trying to bring a split between two leaders. Prime Minister Oli also made a lot of efforts to break the unity between the two leaders, even if he did not succeed.
Prime Minister Oli had said that unity among the two leaders who made the country prosperous could not break. Prime Minister Oli also expressed his objection to the intellectuals who were presented in a rare manner, even if they were warned otherwise.
Speaking at a program organized at the party headquarters at Dhumbarahi to integrate the organizations of the UML and Maoist centers of the organization, he mentioned that unity among the two leaders, with the resolution of making the country, was the sampling unity in the world. If Prime Minister Oli joined the constitution, returning to the other side, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, ‘Prachand’, he also criticized that two people would be prime minister.

Wisconsin Republicans Win Recall Battle, 4-2
Democrats won only two of six state Senate seats in Wisconsin on Tuesday, leaving Republicans with control of the Senate, the Assembly and the governor’s office. Put another way, the Dems managed to unseat two Republicans and reduce the GOP majority in the Senate to the smallest possible margin.
It’s not over for the Democrats, who risk two of their own seats next week. — PZS
Wait, before you go…
Republicans may be able to gain back some of the losses next week, when two Democrats face recall elections.
Democrats had hoped to block the Republican agenda by taking control of the Senate in the recall elections, but the GOP should be able to continue to advance its agenda.

West Ham defender James Collins said that he is excited about the new season. He said that the team is buzzing with excitement and that they want to push for a European place at the end of the season.
He said that last season was a bit difficult as they had to get used to their new surroundings especially for the home games but that things have settled down now. He said that it was tough last season as their fans were quite far from the action and that has impacted their performance.
But he feels that this season will be better as both the players and the fans are used to their new surroundings, and he anticipates that there will be a good atmosphere for their home games.
James Collins believes that West Ham has a good squad and that there is no doubt that the manager will be looking to strengthen the team during the transfer window. He said that the objective of the team is to qualify for the European competitions and that they will be hoping that they have a good season.
When asked about transfer rumors, James Collins said that these are only rumors and that there are no contacts that have been made with other clubs. He stated that he is focused on his current contract and that he wants to work hard in training and make sure that he is ready when the club needs him.
He believes that West Ham can have a great season this year and it is up to the players to give their best on the pitch. He said that the manager is always here to listen to their suggestions but it is ultimately the players that play on the pitch and it is up to them to fight for results.


(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette)
India is likely to join the first round of negotiations in the proposed Indo first round of negotiations in the proposed Indo Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) which is scheduled to take place in Brisbane from December 10 to 15.
“The first in-person IPEF ministerial in Los Angeles in September created strong momentum, and after more productive conversations, we are excited to join our partners in Brisbane for the first in-person negotiating round next month. This will be an important opportunity to identify areas of consensus and continue developing the four IPEF pillars,” the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) said in a statement.
A central government official said India is likely to join negotiations in three out of the four pillars of the IPEF. India opted out of the most crucial trade pillar of the IPEF during the first in-person IPEF ministerial in September, attended by trade minister Piyush Goyal citing unclear benefits to member countries through this pillar. However, India agreed to participate in the remaining three pillars–supply chain, clean economy and fair economy. While the USTR is leading discussions on the trade pillar, the US commerce secretary is spearheading discussions on the other three pillars. (Business Standard)

Top U.S. intelligence officials said yesterday that information gleaned from two controversial data-collection programs run by the National Security Agency thwarted potential terrorist plots in the U.S. and more than 20 other countries – and that gathered data is destroyed every five years.
Last year, fewer than 300 phone numbers were checked against the database of millions of U.S. phone records gathered daily by the NSA in one of the programs, the intelligence officials said in arguing that the programs are far less sweeping than their detractors allege.
No other new details about the plots or the countries involved were part of the newly declassified information released to Congress on Saturday and made public by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Intelligence officials said they are working to declassify the dozens of plots NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander said were disrupted, to show Americans the value of the programs, but that they want to make sure they don’t inadvertently reveal parts of the U.S. counterterrorism playbook in the process.

“SIEC might as well advise the police to investigate into the matter and the case against them (voters).”
The voters registration provisional list that was released last week, bore names of eligible voters. Those whose names were highlighted yellow were the ones registered more than once.
He added that those who registered more than once, only the name that they have first registered with will appear on the final list, but the decision whether to vote or not depends entirely on the registration revision officer.

ISLAMABAD: The divided Kashmiri families organized a protest demonstration in Islamabad against the continued lockdown and other oppressive measures being taken by the Indian troops in occupied Kashmir.
The demonstration held at D-Chowk and was attended by thousands of Kashmiris including women and children.
The demonstration was also aimed at drawing the world attention towards the ongoing siege and humanitarian crisis in occupied Kashmir.
The protesters carried flags of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir as well as placards and banners with slogans denouncing Indian brutalities in occupied Kashmir. They also chanted slogans against India and in favour of freedom of Jammu and Kashmir from Indian occupation.
Addressing the protesters, the speakers said that the Kashmiri people rejected Indian unilateral decision to revoke special status of Jammu and Kashmir, stressing that they would continue their resistance against illegal occupation of their land by India.
They said that scrapping the special status of Kashmir was against the UN resolutions as well as against India’s own constitution.
They demanded of the international community, especially the United Nations to come forward and impress upon India to stop its onslaught against the Kashmiris and settle the Kashmir dispute by allowing them to exercise their right to self-determination.

Johor Fishermen’s Association (Josfa) has been working on the welfare of fishermen during the National Recovery Period (NRP) with the state government.
Its chairman Datuk Mohamad Dolmat said the state’s ongoing food aid supply for affected fishermen was being distributed through the Area Fishermen Association (PNK).
“Before the pandemic, fishermen could sell their catch at affordable prices to all restaurants, especially seafood eateries.
“They could go home with a good income.
“But since the pandemic started and the movement control order was imposed, they have to control what they catch as there are limited restaurants for them to sell the seafood,” he said when contacted.
Mohamad added that Josfa was in touch with its members and those affected would be given food aid.
“We do sympathise with their plight and although the association can only afford to give food aid, we will work with the state government to come up with ways to help them maintain their fishing gear and equipment.
“These are some of the ongoing assistance that we will continue to provide to those in need,” he said, adding that the association would continue to look out for its members during such challenging times.
He added that he was thankful for the Federal Government’s RM300 monthly financial aid given to fishermen under the Welfare Assistance Scheme.
“We hope with the monthly financial and food basket aid, we can ease their burden during the NRP,” he said.
Mohamad shared that Josfa recently allocated RM20,000 for the education and welfare assistance for needy fishermen’s family.
Throughout Johor, there are more than 9,000 fishermen registered with Josfa.

Deputy House Speaker, Elie Ferzli, said on Monday that the budget had reduced the fiscal deficit but lacked a comprehensive economic plan, which is pressingly required for the development of the national economy.
"The state budget will see the light soon. It will be accompanied by bills that could pave the way for an economic plan that will manage the national crises away from any politicization," Ferzli told the Voice of Lebanon radio station.
He finally noted that he was optimistic about a better economic future, but he criticized the protests and strikes that took place whilst protesters were oblivious to the content of the state budget.

Advocates have raised concerns that a new Victorian bill could stop local councils from being able to fight for people in their areas, including the LGBTI community.
The Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (VGLRL) is calling on political parties to protect the right of local councils to advocate in the interests of their local community when reforms to the Local Government Act are debated in parliament.
However, the government’s proposed new Local Government Bill has no specific mention of advocating in the interests of the local community.
Dale Park, co-convenor of the VGLRL, said that during the recent debate on marriage equality in Australia, councils across Victoria passed motions to encourage the federal government to support changes to the Marriage Act.
“Issues such as these do matter to the local community, and local councils can respond by advocating on these issues to other governments,” said Park.
“Local governments are in a position, given their closeness to the community, to listen to the community and advocate in the community’s interests to other governments.
“Advocacy on these issues has provided a positive message to LGBTI people in the local community.”
The VGLRL is calling on political parties to ensure that specific reference to advocating in the interests of the local community is inserted in the bill.
They have made a formal submission to the Local Government Act Review asking for the explicit role of councils to advocate for their communities to be retained.

Chennai, Jan 11 (BPNS)
AIADMK coordinator and former Chief Minister, Edappadi K. Palaniswami has said that the DMK government was indulging in loot under the pretext of providing Pongal gift hampers. He was speaking to reporters at the AIADMK office on Tuesday.
He said that the items were overpriced and procured from North India even though they were abundantly available in Tamil Nadu. He said that most of the ration card owners had not received all the 21 items promised in the gift hamper.
The senior leader who is also the leader of Opposition in the Tamil Nadu assembly said that corruption to the tune of Rs 30 crore had taken place in the procurement of Sugar Cane for the gift hampers and added that the bags given with the gift hampers cost a maximum of Rs 30 but the pricing of the government was Rs 60.
The AIADMK leader charged that not all rice cardholders are receiving all the items promised in the gift hampers. He said that while some were receiving 15 items, others were getting 18 items, and rarely were getting all the 21 items. He also said that the procurement of the items to be included in the gift hampers was purchased from North Indian businessmen for the sake of commission.
Edappadi Palaniswamy also said that Chief Minister Stalin was interested only in publicity and was craving for that. He said that while Chief Minister was cycling, 500 policemen were on guard and the same was the situation when he was visiting a tea shop. Palaniswami also said that Stalin was not the only political leader who was cycling and visiting tea shops.
The AIADMK leader said that the state government was taking undue credit for the 11 Government Medical colleges that are to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister and said that 60 percent of work of these Medical colleges was completed during the period of the previous government.


The Turkish prime minister said on Thursday that Turkey would be affected from the economic crisis the least.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he had not said that Turkey would not be affected from the global economic crisis.
"We have said that Turkey would be affected at the least level thanks to its strong structure and the measures it had taken," Erdogan told reporters when making public the new incentives and employment package.
Erdogan said that there were not so many market fluctuations thanks to intensive efforts, and expectations were more positive.
"The stagnation in production and employment has slowed down," he said.
Erdogan said that the world had started to overcome the global economic crisis, and so had Turkey.
The prime minister said that his government had taken measures and implemented reforms for six and a half years, which had helped Turkey stand firm on its feet despite national and international uncertainties.
Also, Erdogan said that the government had taken several measures after the global economic crisis erupted, and enumerated some of them as the Value Added Tax (VAT) and luxurious consumption tax rates cut, limit on employment loss and helping unemployed citizens make use of opportunities of the labor agency, and providing small and medium scale enterprises with low-interest loans.

Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, will be connecting dots — whether prosecutors can link gifts and loans from businessman Jonnie R. Williams Sr. to the former first couple's efforts to win state help for the free-spending executive's business.


The US has expressed concern over Saudi Arabia’s human rights records, saying the recent mass execution of political and religious leaders shows that the Kingdom is not doing enough to address the international community’s legitimate concerns. “Carrying out mass executions I think is a prime example of a government that is not doing enough to address the legitimate concerns that have been expressed by the international community about the human rights situation inside their own country,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said yesterday.
The US has raised significant concerns about the human rights environment in Saudi Arabia, he said. “The State Department put out a report detailing the long list of concerns that the US has with Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, and certainly mass executions would rate highly in that list of concerns and we certainly would condemn,” he said.
Observing that there is no denying the US has a much stronger and more effective relationship with Saudi Arabia than with Iran, Earnest said but there’s also no denying that Saudi Arabia’s human rights record is something that has been the source of significant concern on the part of the Obama administration and previous administrations as well.
“Those are concerns that have been relayed directly by President (Barack) Obama to the two Saudi Arabian leaders – the two Saudi leaders that he has dealt with in his tenure as President, but these are also concerns that have been relayed to Saudi Arabia through a variety of channels,” he noted.
“I would say that our concerns about Saudi Arabia’s actions in this regard are related both to concerns that we have about the impact that these actions have on Saudi Arabia’s national security but we also have concerns about the impact that this has on US interests in the region,” he said.
Kirby said the US has been very clear about its concerns about the legal process in Saudi Arabia. “It’s something that we have talked to Saudi officials about before. We will continue to do so. We continue to call on the Government of Saudi Arabia to respect and protect human rights and to permit the peaceful expression of dissent and to work together with all community leaders to defuse tensions.
“What we want to see is for Saudi Arabia to respect and protect human rights and to ensure a fair and transparent judicial process,” Kirby added.


Mrs Josephine Obi, the new Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Oyo State, has assumed office with a pledge to clamp down on drug traffickers in the state.
Obi, who recently took over from Mr Ralph Igwenagu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ibadan that she was determined to improve the surveillance activities of the command.
She also said the NDLEA in the state would embark on massive enlightenment to sensitise the youths and members of the public on the effect of illicit drugs.
“It is lack of knowledge that makes people consume things that will endanger their health.
“We appeal to members of the public to provide useful information that will assist the command in ridding the state of drug traffickers.
“NDLEA will continue to do its part by discouraging people from consumption of hard drugs in order to reduce crime in Oyo State and Nigeria in general,” Obi said.
She further said that the command would partner with relevant stakeholders to get maximum support to prosecute the drug war.
Obi also said that the command had been equipped while NDLEA officers were undergoing training and retraining on intelligence gathering and investigation strategies among others to enhance their professionalism.
She commended the state government for the vehicle recently donated to the command and called on other organisations to assist the command.
“We need more vehicles and funds to be able to cover Oyo State because information gathering is very expensive,” Obi said.

PARENTS and teachers at Sunshine Primary School are hoping for a better future.
This was after Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane visited the school in Mbazwana, Umhlabuyalingana, last week.
For almost 20 years the school has been using shacks for classrooms.
SGB chairman Lihle Mnguni said Mkhwebane’s visit has given them hope.
“Two days before Mkhwebane’s visit, the education department brought two temporary classrooms.
“I suspect it’s because they knew the public protector was coming,” said Mnguni.
KZN education spokesman Kwazi Mthethwa said: “The department has sent a delegation led by the district director to the school.
“ The school has now been prioritised.
“The damage caused by the recent storms has forced the department to redirect funds from planned to emergency projects.
Cleopatra Mosana, spokeswoman for the office of the public protector, said: “We can confirm that the public protector visited the school and saw the plight of the pupils at the school.
“The education department has promised to deliver more mobile classrooms.

Diversification results will soon manifest – Dogara
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has said results of the government’s efforts at diversifying the economy would soon yield results.
Speaking when he received the Africa Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Matsidiso Rebecca Moeti, in Abuja yesterday, Dogara said based on the recent engagements the House had with some ministers, the diversification efforts had gone far.
“Obviously when that effort begins to yield results, there will be funds that we can set aside for the health sector. And we hope that in a no distant time that will be the outcome of ongoing efforts by all the arms of government especially the executive and the legislature.
“So if that one happens, we will be able to raise the budget but for now we have to make do with what is available”, he said.
Dogara also said the House was ready to consider a bill to support funds for health emergencies such as Ebola. Earlier, Dr Moeti expressed delight that the current government was giving priority to health to ensure socio-economic development of the country and assured that WHO would provide technical support to the country’s agenda of health development in universal health coverage and some priority projects of sustainable development.


The government will build new Siamelie market in Ma’ufanga after negotiations with land lord, Lord Fakafanua, said Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pōhiva.
Hon. Pōhiva said he talked to the noble, who is also the Speaker of Parliament, early this month about government leasing the land in which Lord Fakafanua agreed.
The Prime Minister said the new market was one of the much-needed projects the government has projected over the next four years.
He said there were too many sellers for Talamahu, Tong’s only national market.
As Kaniva News reported in 2015, the government moved vendors who used to sell their agricultural produce on footpaths in Maʻufanga to Siamelie open air market.
The market place was described by the government at the time as “temporal”.
Last week Kaniva News visited the Siamelie market and noticed there were no sellers there. The vendors had moved back to the roadsides.
The Prime Minister said works initiated at the time to build the market came to a hold because the government did not own the land.
As we reported at the time, not all vendors immediately vacated the roadsides after government announced that it was a breach of law if people continued to put their stalls there.
Some vendors complaint the roadsides were more convenient, easy for trading and it was free to use.
The government made the decision to shift vendors from the roadsides after it received information from the public citing lack of public toilets, sanitations and road congestion.
Hon. Pōhiva said the new market was planned to meet vendors’ needs.

Tokyo: Hundreds of thousands of residents in Japan were urged to evacuate on Friday as tropical storm Mawar brought heavy rain and caused several rivers to overflow.
The eye of the storm, which has weakened from a typhoon, was 170 kilometres (105 miles) east of the country's southern Amami island by the afternoon.
A non-compulsory evacuation order was issued to more than 410,000 people in Toyota in central Aichi region, as well as in other parts of western and central Japan.
The highest evacuation alert -- which urges residents to immediately secure safety -- was issued to some 130,000 people in Toyohashi, also in Aichi, according to public broadcaster NHK.
Western Wakayama region saw several rivers burst their banks, and NHK footage showed a brown-coloured river in a Wakayama town covering railway tracks.
"We urge residents (in the affected areas) to be extremely vigilant against landslides, flooding and rising and overflowing rivers," top government spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters.
"Extremely heavy rainfall with thunderstorms are expected over a wide area from western to eastern Japan over the next three days" due to the storm, he added.
Shinkansen bullet trains were suspended between Tokyo and Osaka, according to Japan Railway.
NHK said more than 200 flights were cancelled in the afternoon.
Scientists say climate change is intensifying the risk of heavy rain in Japan and elsewhere, because a warmer atmosphere holds more water.
Strong rain in 2021 triggered a devastating landslide in the central resort town of Atami that killed 27 people.
And in 2018, floods and landslides killed more than 200 people in western Japan during the country's annual rainy season.
Earlier this week, Mawar -- then a typhoon -- passed just north of the Pacific island of Guam, uprooting trees and leaving tens of thousands of homes temporarily without power.

The Kwale County government has announced disinfection against Covid 19 in markets, bus parks, hotels and shopping centres.
The county will also scale down on many areas of service delivery and offer only the essential ones.
Area Governor Salim Mvurya who announced the measures contends it is part of efforts to fight the pandemic and also rid public spaces of bacteria and viruses.
He said other places which would also be covered were public parks, funeral grounds, public toilets and county and national government offices.
“The most important prevention is the individual themselves. Police officers cannot be everywhere to make sure people wear masks, keep social distance or wash hands. It is you as an individual to take first care of yourself even though the county will do everything to fulfill its obligation,” said the governor.
Mvurya told the press on Sunday that the large scale disinfection exercise will make public spaces safe for trading and other activities.
He ruled out the closing down of markets as happened during past similar exercises but said that after disinfection traders could go back and resume operation.
The county undertook a similar exercise in April and May which saw the disinfection, fumigation and clean-up of public places and public service vehicles.
The Governor who was accompanied by his deputy Fatuma Achani and area County Commissioner (CC) Karuku Ngumo said the disinfection exercise would be carried out regularly to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We hope the disinfection campaign to be spearheaded by the public health department will go a long way in reducing the number of Covid-19 cases in the region” said Mvurya who co-chairs the county covid-19 emergency response committee with the County Commissioner.
The governor also called for support from all quarters to ensure that the exercise was successfully carried out.
He also pointed out that the county public health department will intensify sensitization campaigns on the pandemic at the grassroots level.
“We need the support of each and every one and strictly adhere to the Covid-19 safety protocols if we are to defeat this deadly virus,” said Mvurya.
The governor said that in the past three days Kwale has reported 53 cases of Covid-19 infections. “In the past three days two people have also succumbed to the virus bringing the total cases of death to four in the past two weeks,” he said, while stressing on the need for a concerted effort to fight the highly infectious disease.
On his part, Ngumo appealed to area residents to comply with all the health instructions such as hand washing, physical distancing and wearing facemasks which were aimed at managing the spread of the virus among the populace.
The county commissioner revealed that last week several bars were closed indefinitely and over 200 people arrested for violating Covid-19 health protocols.
Ngumo reiterated that security agencies and the county enforcement teams will continue to vigorously enforce Covid-19 protocols and urged the public to strictly observe the measures established by the authorities to stop the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ambassador of Israel to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, has strongly said no to the idea of stopping the fighting.
He said to the UN that a ceasefire makes Hamas stronger in Gaza and shows that Hamas is forgiven for their terrible actions.

However, Riyad Mansour said at the meeting that the Israeli’s goal was clear and that it was to make people leave.
He said Israel will make Gaza so difficult for people to live in, that they will have to leave.

JUI-F was offered Balochistan government, reveals Fazlur Rehman
DERA ISMAIL KHAN (92 News) – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has claimed that he had rejected the offer to become the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor and the Senate chairman. Talking to the media on Thursday, he said that the PML-N got a partial relief through Azadi March. “The roots of the government have been cut and its trunk has to be brought down,” he said. “During the sit-in, I was offered to form the Balochistan government, But I rejected the offer,” he said. Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that Azadi March is not a party, but a congregation from across the country. “Prime Minister Imran Khan is a victim of nervousness. Those terming the others as thieves are fleeing from accountability,” he said. He said that their movement would now extend to bazaars. “Protest demonstrations will be staged in each district. The government writ has ended and the institutions have also accepted the point,” he said. The JUI-F said that they have adopted the democratic norms. “Our protest was peaceful. We rescued where an accident occurred,” he said. He said that the country’s economy had destroyed. “The rulers do not know under which circumstances the poor are living,” he said.

Almost nine out of ten IT professionals say their main priority now is to boost their digital defences, according to new research from Hitachi ID.
Having polled 131 high-level IT executives, the researchers said that 89% said cybersecurity is now a main priority. Moreover, 70% said that their focus had shifted since the start of the year because of Covid-19. In fact, 72% of those who said that their top priority was cybersecurity said that their focus had shifted since January.
The second biggest concern for these professionals was to enable remote working, with 82% of people citing that as a goal and 80% wanted to make their technology stack more flexible for remote and on-premises workers.
Of those surveyed, 86% said they wanted to give their security standards a sharper edge and 75% wanted to keep their solutions up to date.
It’s hardly surprising that the pandemic has upped the pressure on IT professionals to keep their cybersecurity up to date.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, cyber criminals around the world have used the health crisis to launch more hack attacks and other schemes.
Covid-19 has also forced more companies to embrace flexible working. However, increased adoption of remote working has increase the risk of breaches. So it was encouraging to hear a few weeks ago that the majority of Australian professionals working from home has improved their cybersecurity awareness during lockdown.

But the families say they have still not been told anything by the health authority.
Every year, about 30 cases are reported to health authorities.
Several more days can pass before cases are reported to public health authorities.
It is certainly what the health authorities seem to want us to do.
The health authority plans to spend £66.5m on hospital and community services in 1993/94.
Local health authorities will play an important part in the new system which comes into effect from April 1991.
The center was closed by the local health authorities in 2012.
Any concerns should be brought to the attention of the local health authorities.
The government has already decided to bring special health authorities into the internal market.
Because of them, public health authorities pay closer attention to the disease.
