Beijing, March 7 (IANS) A new survey has revealed that more than 87 per cent of Chinese parents have signed their children up for online tutoring sessions to supplement their education amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the poll conducted by the China Youth Daily, English and math have proven the most popular online courses, respectively attracting 68.7 per cent and 58.5 per cent of the surveyed parents, Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.
Entertaining classes that encourage kids to pursue personal hobbies were ranked third most popular, with the Chinese language coming in fourth.
A total of 1,523 parents took part in the survey.
They mainly attributed the booming online tutoring market in China to the fact that the courses are immune to anti-pandemic measures.
Online courses also spare parents the stress of taking their children to extracurricular training centres and bringing them back home after their classes, according to the respondents.
Most respondents (83.5 per cent) expressed positivity toward the quality of online tutoring, while just 0.5 per cent expressed complete disapproval.
Their biggest concern was the impact of online classes on their children's eye health, with 49.3 per cent of respondents citing this issue.
More than 95 per cent of respondents called on authorities to enhance scrutiny over online training platforms in terms of advertisement content, operation licensing and financial safety.

Egypt’s economy gained 6.2pct in 2021-22 fiscal year
(MENAFN) Egypt’s economy gained 6.2 percent in the 2021-2022 fiscal year that closed on June 30, according to the nation's Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Hala El Said.
The number reflects tougher-than-anticipated financial action in the first nine months of the fiscal year, partially counterweighing the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the last 3 months.
In line with Egyptian Cabinet data, the nation’s economy raised around 8 percent from July 2021 up until March 2022, growing 9.8 percent in the opening 3 months, 8.3 percent in the second quarter as well as 5.4 percent in the third quarter.
A feebler presentation in the fourth quarter was estimated “given the privation of the war, monetary tightening and devaluation”, Mohamed Abou Basha, chief of macroeconomic expert at EFG Hermes Research, voiced to The National.
Russia’s attack on Ukraine at the end of February has put weight on Egypt's food security as the world’s biggest wheat importer.
Heavy rely on food imports and increasing world commodity costs have motivated inflation to double-digit yearly rates.

Kuwait- Arab League chief urges postponement of Kurdistan referendum
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) IRBIL, Sept 9 (KUNA) -- Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Abul-Gheit has implored the Kurdistan government to call off a planned referendum on the region's independence.
The call was made by Abul-Gheit during his talks with Kurdistan President Masoud Barzani in Irbil Saturday. He also urged Kurdistan to give a new chance for dialogue and peaceful coexistence within the Iraqi state, according to a statement by Kurdistan's Presidency Office. For his part, Kurdistan President Barzani told the visiting Arab League chief that it is not the decision of an individual to delay the referendum.
He stressed the decision to hold the independence referendum belongs to the people and political parties of Kurdistan.
He pointed out that the partnership Irbil and Baghdad has failed after agreements were violated and the constitution was not enforced.
Given the past failed experiences, "trust has eroded" between them, Barzani explained, and, therefore, the Kurdistan Region decided to hold referendum and the vote will take place "on time." He said the Kurdistan would pursue the language of peace and dialogue in order to obtain its rights. The Kurdish region plans holding an independence vote on September 25, amid Baghdad's rejection and opposition from neighboring countries, mainly Iran and Turkey. (Pickup previous) sbr.ibi

But climate change leading to extreme weather events remains the biggest concern over the long term, according to the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual survey.
The poll of more than 1,400 global risk experts, policymakers and industry leaders revealed major concerns that false information will be used to further widen societal and political divides.
It comes at a time of conflict in regions including the Middle East and Ukraine, which leaders fear will be worsened by new technologies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to fuel the spread of false news, amid the rise of "deepfake" videos appearing on social media.
The business leaders polled said they thought misinformation and disinformation – the latter of which refers to news deliberately intended to deceive people – is the biggest worldwide risk over the next two years.
It overtakes the cost-of-living crisis as the most urgent threat, according to the analysis by the WEF and compiled with Marsh McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group.
Close to three billion people are expected to face elections in several countries including Bangladesh, India, Mexico, the UK and the US over the next two years, the WEF said.

The deputy commissioner, Noman Afzal, while talking to media said that the meeting was arranged with Khasadar force representatives on the directions of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and adviser to the chief minister on tribal areas, Ajmal Wazir.

DC said that their issues will be conveyed to the chief minister. The deputy commissioner also promised them that he will arrange their meeting with CM in Peshawar.
The main issue of the Khasadar force is the non-payment of their salaries due to which they have boycotted the duties as well as polio duty. “I have informed them that the federal government has resolved the salary issue and the cabinet has given the approval,” said The DC. He added that the finance department has to release the fund which will further take up to one week. He expressed the hope the deadlock will be resolved soon.
Noman Afzal said that Khasadar force has ended their polio boycott and will support the government on every forum. DC said that he will also arrange a meeting with Wazir Khasadar force to resolve their problems on a priority basis.
It is worth mentioning here that Khasadar force was not paid salaries for the last 10 months that’s why they had boycott from polio duty and vacated check posts a few days ago. The Khasadar forces representative said that they have been fighting the war against militancy and always remained in the frontline, but the government has failed to recognize their sacrifices. They have also set several protest camps for their demands.


Editor’s note: It has been common phenomena to hear from government-propaganda machines that the regime is foiling attack against top government officials. It appears now that everybody is trying to kill government officials. This tells us how they are hated by the entire Ethiopian people.
APA-Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) Ethiopia said on Wednesday that it has foiled a terrorist attack against top government officials.
The government said that security officers have arrested a number of people belonging to a terrorist group who were preparing to carry out some terrorist attacks against government officials.
“Those arrested were trying to cross to Ethiopia from Eritrea via Sudan in the Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. They were given military training in Eritrea,” said the government statement.
It said the alleged terrorist attack was meant to also disturb the forthcoming national elections in Ethiopia, scheduled to be held in May 2010.
The Ethiopian federal police indicated that those arrested admitted that they were given military training in Eritrea, which is at loggerheads with Ethiopia.
The police said that they have also seized various weapons, which they said were also aimed at destroying major infrastructures in the country.
This is not the first time that Ethiopia has accused neighbouring Eritrea of planning to perpetrate such acts, which Eritrea has always denied.
The two countries are unable to ressolve their border dispute for the past 11 years.

The Ministry of Health says the behaviour of the general public in recent days after easing restrictions has been disappointing.
Speaking at a media briefing today, Director of the Health Promotion Bureau Dr. Ranjith Batuwanthudawa noted that despite repeated calls, the public has been behaving in a reckless manner.
Dr. Ranjith Batuwanthudawa said since the coronavirus virus threat has not diminished, the public should continue to follow health guidelines.
He said they have observed during the past two days, people have blatantly violated health guidelines and gathered in groups in public places.
Dr. Batuwanthudawa also noted that even the mask mandate was disregarded blatantly.
He warned that such behaviour will lead to a spike in COVID-19 cases once again.


Global Strategy Director,mPEDIGREE, who also doubles as the Vice President IMANI Africa, Selorm Brantie, has admonished the government to take a keen interest in blockchain technology.
He stated that blockchain technology has the potential to transform government, but first, we need to build trust.
Speaking on the sidelines at the launch of Centre for Coin Liberty by the Institute for Liberty and Policy Innovation, the tech expert said research has proven that the benefits of blockchain are not limited to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin but have the potential to transform government activities.
The technology he explained can offer new ways of organizing processes and handling information.
Several countries have applied the technology to a wide variety of functions and services, including land registration, educational credentialing, health care, procurement, food supply chains and identity management, among others.
He said despite these achievements, some countries, including Ghana, are monitoring to examine how the technology can achieve significant government transformation.
”We don’t need to rush but take our time and understand what benefits we stand to gain from the technology. Developing solutions for the public sector also requires a clear understanding of blockchain technology. It is therefore important for the government to engage with individuals with expertise and understanding in this area and tap into their experience and how the technology can help in the governance process”.
He further explained that realizing the potential of the technology requires a framework for technology design and implementation and legal backing for the technology.
He said we also need to start thinking first about areas where there is a need to improve social trust.
He was also of the view that we need to initiate pilot projects through the technology so Ghanaians will understand it properly before it is implemented nationwide.

The British Columbia government has added more money to its grant program to fund fairs, festivals and other events in the province to help tourism recovery.
Melanie Mark, the minister of tourism, arts and culture, says COVID-19 and recent natural disasters have had devastating impacts on events and tourism, and expanding the program to nearly $30 million is a way to help communities safely resume activities.
The government will give one-time grants to cover as much as 20 per cent of the event’s budget, up to $250,000, for operational costs, health and safety measures, venue rental, marketing, wages and promotion.
“We’re thrilled that people can once again safely enjoy their local fairs, festivals and events with their families and friends,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “We heard overwhelmingly from event organizers that grants, not loans, were key to keeping their doors open to the public and workers employed. Our government answered their call to action, as we know the major impact these community gatherings have on our mental health and local businesses around them.”
A task force was appointed by the government last year to identify what could be done to help the province’s tourism industry recover.
In response to their calls to action, the ministry had announced a $12.9-million event fund in August, but Mark says they received so many applications for funding that the government will now more than double the fund.
Mark says this means the Fairs, Festivals and Events Recovery Fund grant will now help cover costs for more than 680 events in 134 communities.


BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday alleged that the government has hired lobbyists to protect the human rights violators by spending public money.
“The authoritarian illegitimate government has appointed lobbyists by spending public money to hush up the actions taken by the USA which is acknowledged by the statement of the foreign minister," he said.
According to the foreign minister, Fakhrul said, the government has hired lobbyists to restore the image of the government. "How can the government spend public money in the name of protecting its image by taking the responsibility of the persons involved in crimes like killings and enforced disappearances?”
Speaking at a press conference at BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office, he also said their party thinks that the government has exposed its involvement in serious crimes like human rights violations by hiring lobbyists with public money to save those who have violated human rights.
Fakhrul also said had the government been not engaged with such activities, it would have brought the seven officials to justice and put them under trial.
He alleged that prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajeeb Wazed Joy had spent US$ 9 million against the then BNP government in between 2005 and 200 and all evidence is available on the official websites of the US government."
“What was the source of that money of Sajeeb Wazed Joy. How was that money taken to the USA from Bangladesh?” Fakhrul said.
He said the ruling party has carried out a false campaign that BNP appointed lobbyists against the country.
He said their party can write letters to the development partners informing them about the country’s human rights situation and the violation of human rights and the government’s misdeeds. “My letters to foreigners aren’t a matter of hiring a lobbyist, but a call to international development partners to protect human rights.”

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has used the COVID-19 to speak to economic expert and former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan. Here Raghuram Rajan said that it is necessary to help the poor at this time, for which the government will spend about 65 thousand crores.
Former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said that India can play a big role on the global stage, India can make its place in the new world order.
Regarding the economy at the global level, Raghuram Rajan said that I think something is wrong in the global economic system, people do not have jobs, those who have jobs have further concerns, uneven distribution of income is the opportunity. Must deliver correctly.
When asked by former Congress President about the questions among the mind of people regarding economy and work, Raghuram Rajan replied that with reducing the impact of Corona, we should also think about the employment of people.
Regarding reopening of the economy, the former RBI governor replied that implication of second lockdown itself means that the government did not prepare in the first lockdown. If we keep thinking that the economy can be reopened only after the cases cease to zero, then we are greatly mistaken.
Regarding testing, he said that the number of testing should be increased, if we want to open the economy soon. He added that such situations in the world history are rare, but it has given an opportunity to a country like India to take its industries to the world and establish a communication with its people.
He also added that we should adopt stern steps to reopen economy as soon as possible, because our economic conditions are not as good as other countries of the world. As per the CMIE report, about ten crore people are going to loose their jobs which is a grave concern.
Raghuram Rajan has been the Governor of the Reserve Bank from 2013 to 2016, on many occasions he has also been criticizing the economic policies of the Modi government.

Alleging that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's third front proposal was just a drama to hoodwink the people, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Chief Minister had started this new act as the people were disillusioned with his "total failure" during the last four years.
Reddy sought to know why, after extending his full support to the BJP on GST, demonetization, and the presidential and vice-presidential elections, KCR was suddenly opposing the BJP now. He also asked why the Chief Minister had failed to wage a movement against the Centre to achieve the state's share as per the AP Reorganization Act.

KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 10
Nepal reported zero deaths from Covid-19 in the past 24 hours.
Today, 134 new coronavirus cases have surfaced after which Nepal's total cases of infection have reached 272, 349.
Globally, 2.3 million people have lost their lives to Covid-19 while over 107 million people have been infected by the novel coronavirus.
On Tuesday, two fatalities were reported which took the country-wide death toll to 2,047.


A study conducted by MAK Consultancy, which surveyed 10,800 people in 30 cities, has revealed that the reputation of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) was hurt by the Oct. 6-7 Kobani protests.
The survey indicated that support for the HDP has dwindled as a result of their call for street protests on Oct. 6-7. In the presidential election on Aug. 10, the percentage of the vote for the HDP was 9.76, but the survey now reports that support appears to have dropped to 5.3 percent.
When asked who was responsible for the Kobani protests, which morphed into violent clashes between pro and anti-PKK groups, 24 percent of the surveyed people said that the HDP was accountable for the violent clashes while 23 percent claimed that the outlawed PKK was behind the protests. Another 22 percent accused the main opposition, the Republican People's Party (CHP), of being responsible for the clashes.
A total of 32 percent of those surveyed said that the top priority for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) is to fight against terrorist activities in Turkey and 56 percent of those surveyed believe that the violent clashes that were triggered by the Kobani protests were conducted in order to undermine Turkey's stability.
Violent demonstrations in support of Kobani erupted across Turkey, especially in southeastern and eastern cities and claimed dozens of lives, where pro-PKK demonstrators accused the government of not helping the people of Kobani in the fight between Kurdish forces and Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militants.
When asked whether Turkey needs a new political party, 42 percent of surveyed people said "yes" while 38 percent believe that there is no need for a new political party and 20 percent were undecided. The 42 percent who believed that a new political party should be formed indicated they think the current opposition leaders and cadres are incapable of bringing about change.

Ever since Shehbaz Sharif has taken over the charge of Pakistan’s Prime Minister, there’s a buzz all-around over his decisions. On Tuesday he said that in the budget for the 2022-23 fiscal, the government decided to redistribute the economic burden on the poor by taxing the rich, media reports said.
“The policy we have formulated in the budget is that we have decided to redistribute the burden on the poor. We will tax affluent citizens so the poor are assured the government is giving them relief by taking different measures and is also taxing the rich,” said Sharif.
The Prime Minister hoped that those who are privileged would “gladly” lend their support to the country at this critical juncture and demonstrate a spirit of “sacrifice”.
However, he asserted that the government would take more difficult decisions in the future if need be, Dawn reported.
“We will not hesitate to take any step which could help strengthen the economy,” he said.
Sharif said that the government had no other option than to take tough decisions, as he lashed out at the PTI for “violating” the agreement it had signed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).


ISLAMABAD: Minister for SAFRON Lt Gen (r) Abdul Qadir Baloch said that Balochistan’s resources should be utilised for the development and prosperity of the province.
While talking to a private news channel, he said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government and valiant armed forces of the country had almost restored peace in the province.
The minister said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project should also be utilised for the betterment and economic stability of the province besides the country as the mega project would bring economic revolution in the region.
He said that the provinces were massively empowered through 18th constitutional amendment and National Finance Commission Award but more focus should be given to Balochistan in that regard.
Responding to a question, he said that the continuity of democratic process was essential to take the country to the new heights of progress and prosperity.


Austria launches probe on UN peacekeepers in Golan Heights ambush
(MENAFN) Austria has launched an investigation into whether its UN peacekeepers allowed Syrian police to drive into a fatal ambush in the Golan Heights in 2012, the defense ministry said on Saturday, inviting the UN to also take part in the probe.
Austrian weekly Der Falter published a leaked video Friday that was apparently filmed by the United Nations peacekeepers from Austria in September 2012 and shows Syrian smugglers ambush the police.
In a statement, the defense ministry said it was only made aware of the "dimension of the incident" by the images and video leaked to Falter.
Defense Minister Mario Kunasek says "the incidents will have to be meticulously and completely cleared up."
Discussions in the clip suggest that the peacekeepers knew they were letting the Syrian forces enter a trap, with one telling the other that "you should really tell them." Austria withdrew its UN peacekeepers from the area in 2013, citing worsening security.

Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home G. Kishan Reddy said youth in Kashmir will be given employment opportunities.
He told Deccan Chronicle: “Government of India will provide employment opportunities. Youth in the valley will soon be visible going to office rather than becoming stone-pelters. Separatist ideology has to be changed and we will do it.”
The minister said that people of Jammu and Kashmir were welcome to come forward and contribute to build the nation by working for the country rather than following the separatist ideology.
Mr Reddy said the Kashmir issue was “India’s internal matter and no country can interfere. Articles 370 and 35 is India’s decision, the UN or any country has nothing to do with internal issues.”
He said the government will bring peace through development.
Asked how the Centre hoped to bring peace by deploying guns in the Valley, the minister said, “Section 144 has been eased in most areas. Not guns but the development in the Valley will bring peace and trust amongst the people. People of Jammu and Kashmir are supporting us, as now they will be able to enjoy their rights like people enjoy across the country.”

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — The Jordan Tourism Board on Monday organised a workshop in preparation for the AdventureNEXT Near East (ANNE) conference by the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) in Jordan to be held in May 2018.
The workshop titled 'Adventure Connect' aimed to enhance cooperation among stakeholders in adventure tourism sector, and raise awareness about the importance of hosting the event.
The conference will see the participation of dozens of tourism professionals from North Africa, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and southern Europe to look into ATTA's multi-year plan and its vision on the region, in cooperation with USAID's Jordan Local Enterprise Support Project (LENS), and the JTB.
ATTA CEO Shannon Stowell said that 'the success of the conference depends on the participants' positive presence and their eagerness to work with new partners'.
ANNE aims to enhance partnership between international tourism stakeholders and their regional counterparts. It will also focus on the empowerment of partnerships, Arab hospitality and the importance of the relations created through dealing with the region's people and their impact on tourist destinations, the JTB said.
According to a LENS study, Jordan can create 500 new jobs in the sector through investing in the adventure tourism that would generate around $10 million annually for the national economy.
During the workshop, Tourism Minister Lina Annab said that the 2017's conference, which was held in Jordan, was the first meeting specialised in adventure tourism in the Middle East.
Adventure tourism has a direct economic impact on local communities, which are not usually realised through traditional tourism and it enhances the tourism sector, which is a main pillar of the Jordanian economy, the minister added.
For his part, JTB Director Abed Al Razzaq Arabiyat said that the board continuously supports the private sector through cooperation with international organisations that are able to connect the local tourism sector with the international bodies.
He highlighted the JTB's efforts to attract more tourists through diversifying the tourism sector, including the adventure type.
Arabyiat told The Jordan Times that partnership with the local communities is essential as it enhances the success of this type of tourism by facilitating the flow of trips and benefiting the local communities.
He stressed the role of media in supporting adventure tourism and its promotion in the Kingdom.
The ATTA has 1,000 members globally with a vision to support and benefit from the creation of sustainable adventure travel markets.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt's military said on Sunday four soldiers and 10 extremists were killed in a military operation in Sinai against Daesh group extremists.
The deaths raise military casualties to at least 16 dead, along with more than 100 extremists, since the start of the operation on February 9, according to previous army tolls.
The army launched the campaign after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, who is standing in elections for his second term this month, gave them a three month deadline to crush Daesh in Sinai.
Sisi issued his ultimatum in November after suspected Daesh gunmen massacred more than 300 worshippers in a Sinai mosque associated with Muslim Sufi mystics.
Daesh in Sinai has been among the group's most resilient affiliates, killing hundreds of soldiers, policemen and civilians in Sinai and elsewhere in Egypt.
It has killed scores of Christians in church bombings and shootings, and bombed a Russian airliner carrying tourists from an Egyptian resort in 2015, killing all 224 people on board.
The military says it has evidence Daesh has sought to move members to Sinai following its defeats in Iraq and Syria.
