China claims US veto of Gaza ceasefire decision is ‘hypocrisy’
(MENAFN) The recent United States veto of a United Nation Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has sparked criticism from China, with Zhang Jun, China's ambassador to the United Nations, labeling the move as "hypocritical." The resolution, sponsored by the United Arab Emirates and supported by over 90 nations, aimed to secure a humanitarian ceasefire and the unconditional release of hostages held by Hamas. The United States was the sole vote against the resolution, citing concerns about its alignment with reality and its failure to condemn a Hamas "terrorist attack" on October 7.
Robert Wood, Washington's deputy United Nation ambassador, defended the veto, asserting that the resolution lacked grounding in reality and failed to address the Hamas attack adequately. Wood argued that an unconditional ceasefire would risk allowing Hamas to repeat similar assaults in the future. He emphasized the need for resolutions that encourage humanitarian pauses and lamented the loss of innocent Palestinian lives.
China expressed "great disappointment and regret" over the United States decision, criticizing the justification as "feeble" and highlighting the contradictory nature of supporting continued fighting while expressing concern for the people of Gaza. The veto follows a series of United Nation actions blocking United Nation resolutions calling for a ceasefire since the start of the conflict. The international community continues to grapple with finding a diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis, with differing perspectives on how to address the complex dynamics in the region.

Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley stated this on Wednesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports, referring to cnn .

He added that Russians“are suffering an enormous amount of casualties in the Bakhmut area; the Ukrainians are inflicting a lot of death and destruction.”
“The Ukrainians are doing a very effective area defense that is proven to be very costly to the Russians. For about the last 20, 21 days, the Russians have not made any progress whatsoever in and around Bakhmut. So it's a slaughter-fest for the Russians. They're getting hammered in the vicinity of Bakhmut and the Ukrainians have fought very, very well,” he said.
As reported by Ukrinform, in the past 24 hours, the settlements of Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka remain at the epicenter of hostilities, the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled 48 attacks in these sectors.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Russian passports are issued to people, as well as mobilization notices to men during the sham referendum in Luhansk region.
Serhiy Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, said this on the FREEDOM TV channel, Ukrinform reports.
“It is more like some kind of social survey, although the survey is conducted at gunpoint. Because when some people break into your apartment, and if you don't open it, they threaten to break down the door. You open, they come in and give you a cardboard box: 'You hide behind it and put a check mark.' And there are armed men. If you put 'against', they put your name in some kind of notebook. If you tick 'for' – 'Congratulations!' You will also be issued a passport. And if you are a man, the passport is issued together with a mobilization notice. This is some kind of sur,” Haidai said.
He added that the pseudo-voting is more aimed at mobilization, there are no prepared polling stations, and there are simply no observers. In addition, the cities were closed for entry and exit.
'The budget officials were immediately informed: if you don't come to the 'referendum' or don't participate, you'll be sacked, and then maybe something worse,' Haidai noted.
As reported, on September 20, the leaders of the self-proclaimed 'LPR/DPR' and collaborators in the Russian-occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions announced the holding of pseudo-referenda on accession to Russia and scheduled them for September 23-27.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Jan 27 (KUNA) -- Two Kuwaiti officials on Saturday stressed the significant role of Kuwaiti cultural institutions in the creation of Gulf and Arab intellectual thought.

She pointed out that these cultural agencies had greatly contributed to the promotion of intellectual and cultural opening-up nationwide.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) China has unveiled a super-ship concept, a railgun-armed nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, reviving an old Soviet concept in line with its bastion strategy in the South China Sea. However, it may be more of a prestige weapon than a viable warship design.
This month, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that China's top naval scientist, Ma Weiming, has proposed a futuristic warship that could transform naval fleets into Star Wars-style super-ships. Ma proposed his design in the peer-reviewed journal Transactions of China Electrotechnical Society .
The SCMP notes that the super-ship could carry many aircraft but differs from traditional carriers, as it is heavily armed with electromagnetic weapons such as railguns, coilguns, rocket launchers, laser weapons, and high-powered microwaves.
The source notes that the ship's advanced technology effectively transforms energy from the ship's power source into the electromagnetic energy needed to power high-powered weapons, allowing a single warship to defend against air attacks accurately, engage in anti-submarine warfare, intercept missiles, and deliver precise strikes on both naval and land targets.
The source says the super-ship's comprehensive nuclear-powered electromagnetic system could convert nuclear energy into usable kinetic energy or electricity to drive high-energy weapons systems, such as on-board railguns that could hit targets in near space with guided ordnance at up to seven times the speed of sound.
It also says the electromagnetic-launched projectiles could be automatically reloaded like an automatic rifle, allowing far greater speed and number of projectiles fired than adversaries.

The ship will be examined in Istanbul before proceeding to Tripoli, Lebanon.

NABLUS, Palestinian Territories — A rare operation by the Palestinian Authority security forces to arrest a Hamas member sparked clashes in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday, killing one.
A statement from the security forces confirmed the death of bystander Firas Yaish and said they were 'waiting for a medical report', on the circumstances of his killing.
He was killed 'in a place where no security personnel were present', forces spokesman Talal Dweikat said in a statement.
Unrest persisted through the morning, with hundreds of youths hurling rocks at PA armoured vehicles and the sound of gunfire ringing out across the city centre, AFP correspondents reported.
Ahmed, 26, a protester who declined to give his family name citing personal security concerns, told AFP the protesters' anger was fuelled by 'security coordination between the PA and the occupation [Israel]'.
Hamas, historic rivals of the Abbas's secular Fateh movement that controls the PA, condemned the arrest of 30-year-old Musaab Shtayyeh, calling it a“kidnapping... a national crime” and a“stain” on the PA's image.
It demanded the immediate release of Shtayyeh and Ameed Tbaileh, who was arrested with him, and blasted the PA for keeping up security coordination with Israel.
While Abbas's forces maintain security ties with Israel, which has occupied the West Bank since 1967, PA raids targeting Hamas members are not common.
Fateh and Hamas have made various reconciliation attempts in recent years but relations remain tense. Hamas has controlled Gaza since 2007, when it ousted PA forces from the coastal enclave in deadly street battles.
The northern West Bank has suffered near daily Israeli raids in recent months. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in the raids.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Russian invaders do not stop trying to capture Maryinka in Donetsk region - 13 combat clashes have been recorded there in the past day.
Colonel Oleksandr Shtupun, the spokesman for the joint press center of the Defense Forces in the Tavria sector, said this on the air of the United News telethon, Ukrinform reports with reference to ArmiyInform.
"The enemy does not stop trying to capture Maryinka. Over the past day, we have recorded 13 combat clashes by the enemy there, its unsuccessful attempts. They mainly attack in small groups... without equipment. The enemy is also trying to recapture the lost positions in the area of Robotyne,” noted Shtupun. Read also:

According to him, there have been no significant changes in the Shakhtarske sector. "We continue both the counter-battery fight and the destruction of enemy depots. Over the past two days, our troops have destroyed 11 depots of various levels," the spokesman said.
He noted that the occupiers continue to strengthen their positions and build additional ones. "The enemy should not be underestimated. They set up these positions quite competently in terms of engineering, and enhance the defense with anti-tank means, so it is quite difficult to fight with equipment," Shtupun emphasized.
As reported, the Defense Forces eliminated 51 occupiers and injured 120 more in the Tavria sector in the past day.

(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
images have emerged from New Zealand showing millions of once-velvety brown sea sponges bleached bone white, the worst mass bleaching event of its type ever recorded, marine scientists say.
The alarming discovery comes amid a continued rise in ocean temperatures, a trend that scientists say is overwhelmingly due to planet-warming fossil fuel emissions.
New Zealand scientists discovered thousands of bleached sea sponges in May of this year, in cold waters off the country's southwestern coast. Further findings showed the damage was far worse, with millions — possibly tens of millions — of sea sponges affected throughout the Fiordland region.
“This is one of the most abundant sponges in Fiordland, and so it's a really wide-scale event,” said James Bell, a marine biology professor from New Zealand's Victoria University.
Bell, who led the team responsible for spotting the initial bleaching event last month, said that despite the extensive mass bleaching, some sponges were still alive and consuming oxygen.
“This region was so abundant and rich in marine life and it was almost like a white graveyard when we discovered it, it was really devastating and traumatic,” he said.“We are able to conduct experiments on board our boat to try and understand how affected the sponges were by warmer temperatures. Unfortunately a lot of them were already very unhealthy and stressed.”
Sea sponges come in a variety of sizes, colors and textures and play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, providing food and refuge for other marine animals like crabs, algae and fish.
“They pump out large volumes of water and capture tiny particles, bacteria, plankton and algae and also recycle carbon on the sea floor,” Bell said.“They also provide shelter for marine creatures and increase habitat areas of the sea floor. They are very underappreciated creatures.”

Ramallah, Feb 4 (IANS) A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers near the village of Huwara south in the West Bank city of Nablus, according to authorities.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that Abdulla Qalalweh, 24, died after being shot by Israeli soldiers at an army checkpoint near the village, Xinhua news agency.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that a Palestinian driving a car approached the checkpoint, got out of his vehicle, and tried to grab the weapon of a soldier before he was shot dead by other soldiers.
Israeli authorities did not comment on the incident.
The latest development comes amid a series of deadly incidents in the region.
On January 26, Israeli forces raided the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied northern West Bank and killed nine Palestinians and wounded 16 others.
A day later, a gunman opened fire on people near a synagogue at a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem, killing at least seven people.
Since early January, some 35 Palestinians have been killed in the ensuing violence.
More than 170 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank in 2022, and at least 29 have been killed in January this year, according to figures from the Palestinian Health Ministry.
According to the UN, 2022 was the deadliest year for Palestinians since 2006.
The tensions have been further aggravated since Israel's most right-wing government, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, took office in December 2022.

AMMAN — Official cleanup teams are still dealing with remaining traces of an oil spill from a ship that docked at the Aqaba port last week, according to the Commissioner for Tourism and Environment in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) Nidal Majali.
He said that a specialised and equipped team of professionals from the Prince Hamzah Centre for Pollution Control has been working non-stop for the past seven days to clean the dispersed oil spots.
“The amount of oil spilled, which is 11 tonnes and 400 kilos, is manageable. However, air and ocean currents have slowed down the cleaning process and made it more difficult,” Majali told The Jordan Times.
The movement of waves and the tide also caused the majority of remaining oil traces to settle under the container port, which is 1km-long and 30m-deep, he continued.
“We've also received information about small traces of the polluting matter reaching beaches at the three neighbouring countries surrounding the Gulf of Aqaba,” Majali added.
He also noted that an incident report has been submitted to the Regional Organisation for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA).
Techniques used in the cleanup include vacuum systems and artificial wave generation that help move oil spots into reachable areas, according to Majali.
He also noted that ASEZA is cooperating with specialised local Jordanian companies that will be providing the equipment needed for the cleaning process.
“We are working carefully, following a set plan to maintain the safety of workers and ensure no serious environmental damage,” he continued.
The Marine Science Station has confirmed that all collected samples and examined areas have shown that marine life and coral reefs remain unharmed.
Majali also advised“beachgoers, swimmers and divers to exercise caution and care, stay clear of areas affected by the oil spill and report anything unusual to official authorities”.
He added that the involved specialists are preparing a detailed report with a plan and an estimated timetable for the cleanup that will be ready this week.
The preliminary results of the ongoing judicial investigation indicate that the source of the pollution was a technical failure on a Palauan merchant vessel importing fertilisers from Jordan.

(MENAFN) According to a Friday declaration from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), the huge continental shelf of Norway has been found to have significant metal and mineral reserves.
Based on the reports, the significant finding presents one of the largest producers of oil and gas with the opportunity to harvest "substantial" quantities of minerals, including copper and rare earth metals.
Kjersti Dahle, NPD's head of technology and analysis, remarked “of the metals found on the seabed in the study area, magnesium, niobium, cobalt and rare earth minerals are found on the European Commission's list of critical minerals.”
Preliminary estimates indicate that polymetallic sulphides in distant regions of the Norwegian Sea and Greenland Sea contain 85,000 tons of silver, 2,317 tons of gold, 45 million tons of zinc, and 38 million tons of copper, about twice as much as is extracted annually worldwide.
It is anticipated that the 24 million tons of magnesium, 3.1 million tons of cobalt, and 1.7 million tons of cerium, a rare earth metal used in alloys, are hidden behind the manganese crusts that have developed on bedrock over millions of years. They are estimated to also include rare earth elements including neodymium, yttrium, and dysprosium, as well as 8.4 million tons of titanium and 1.9 million tons of vanadium.

(MENAFN- AFP) Denmark said Wednesday that it had stopped the first exploratory drilling for shale gas in the country a day after it began, accusing French company Total of using an unauthorised chemical.
"They used a product that was not part of those authorised" for the procedure, Ture Falbe-Hansen, a Danish Energy Agency spokesman told AFP.
According to Danish public broadcaster DR, the product known as Null Foam -- used in the so-called fracking process to extract shale gas -- was considered to be an environmental hazard.
Henrik Nicolaisen, who leads the drilling project for Total, said the chemical was not illegal and was left off the initial list of products used at the site "because we did not expect it would be a problem".
"We have been in dialogue with both the municipality and the Danish Energy Agency since February and we felt that we had a common understanding that the substance could be used," he told DR.
Total was given the go-ahead to start test drilling for shale gas in Vendsyssel in the far north of Denmark in July.
Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is a process used to extract shale gas by blasting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to release hydrocarbons trapped between layers of rock.
Environmentalists argue that the process may contaminate ground water and even cause small earthquakes.
Denmark is one of the few European countries alongside Britain, Poland and Romania that allows fracking, which is widely used in the US, contributing to the country's burgeoning oil and natural gas production.
Last month the German government proposed new rules to narrowly restrict fracking, citing environmental and public health concerns.

London : London's Heathrow airport, one of the world's busiest, will not need to cap passenger numbers for the Christmas peak as it works to minimise the impact of strike action at the airport ahead of the holiday season, it said recently.
Hundreds of workers at the airport are set to walk out in the run-up to the soccer World Cup in Qatar this month over demands for better pay, British union Unite said last week.
Heathrow, which had temporarily capped passenger numbers this year after it struggled to cope with a post-covid rebound in travel, had last month said it was unlikely to return to pre-pandemic demand for several years except at peak times.
However, it said it is on track to return to pre-pandemic employment levels before the summer holiday period in 2023 thanks to strong recruitment rates in 2022.
Passenger numbers in October reached 84 per cent of pre-covid-19 levels, supported by a rise in leisure travel during the school half-term break and a gradual return of business travellers.
About 5.9 million passengers travelled through the airport in October, compared with nearly 5.8 million in September and about 3 million in October last year.
The rise in travellers at its airport in 2022 was higher than at any other airport in Europe, said Heathrow, which had lost its status as Europe's busiest airport during the pandemic.
Heathrow is planning investment of over USD 4.70 billion in the coming years, focusing on new security lanes and a new baggage system, and is proposing changes to its landing charges in 2023 to support more connections to the UK's regions and other countries.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) ANKARA, Feb 13 (KUNA) -- Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras discussed by phone on Tuesday the ways to defuse the tensions between their two countries in the Aegean Sea.
During the conversation, Yildirim said that Turkey expects Greece to take the necessary measures to lower the tensions, Turkey's Anadolu Agency reported, citing sources at the Prime Minister's office.
The two leaders agreed to solve the problems through dialogue and to convene a meeting by the military top brass of the two countries, if necessary.
Despite the differences between the two countries, the conversation was held in a "positive atmosphere," the source said.
According to the Greek news agency AMNA, a Turkish patrol boat rammed into a Greek Coast Guard patrol boat near the Kardak islets in the southeastern Aegean last night.
Meanwhile, spokesman of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hami Aksoy said the Greek side "has distorted the facts as is always the case." "In fact, the Undersecretary of our Ministry has called the Secretary General of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the incidents caused last night by the Greek Coast Guard boats through their dangerous maneuvers in the vicinity of the Kardak rocks, which are under Turkish sovereignty," Aksoy said in a statement.
"The Undersecretary has clearly stated that the hostile actions of the Greek military forces are continuing in air and at sea, of which we will not tolerate, and that increasing tension in the Aegean Sea does not serve to the interests of the two countries." On January 28, the Turkish Coast Guard blocked Greece's Defense Minister Panos Kammenos from approaching a pair of Turkish islets in the Aegean.
Coast guard officers warned off Kammenos, who was heading to the Kardak islets in an assault boat to lay a wreath there. Following the warning, the Greek boat left Turkey's territorial waters.
A decades-long dispute between Turkey and Greece over the uninhabited Aegean islets brought the two countries to the brink of armed conflict in 1996 and led to renewed tensions this year. (end) rs.gb

As reported by Ukrinform, the center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine announced this on Telegram.
The Russian media claimed that 'the Ukrainian authorities have calculated how much money is needed to restore the energy infrastructure...

(MENAFN) Shared mobility is steadily establishing itself in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, as the automotive industry, like other sectors, adapts to the sharing economy. The global trend of embracing resource and service sharing instead of ownership, seen in the rental of office spaces, Airbnb accommodations, and even special occasion attire, is gaining traction.
Companies across various industries are reshaping their business models to leverage the ongoing shift towards a sharing economy, and the transport sector is no exception. In line with this trend, the car-sharing segment is projected to see a substantial increase in users worldwide, with a report by Germany-based data-gathering platform Statista estimating the number of car-sharing users to reach 62.11 million by 2027.
In the GCC region, car-sharing providers such as Udrive and ekar have emerged as dominant players, offering customers an alternative to traditional rental options in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh. Nicholas Watson, co-founder and CEO of Udrive, acknowledged the significant demand for this type of service in the region.
Car-sharing represents a fully digital experience that minimizes human interaction. The streamlined access to vehicles allows for flexible parking anywhere within the city. The methodology and business model behind car-sharing resonate with customers, providing a convenient and efficient means of transportation.
As shared mobility gains traction in the GCC region, these car-sharing companies are poised to capitalize on the increasing demand for flexible, digitally-enabled transportation options. With their emphasis on convenience and accessibility, car-sharing services are transforming the way people commute, promoting sustainability, and contributing to the evolution of the regional transport industry.

ISLAMABAD:Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Food Security Jamshed Iqbal Cheema has said the government will provide sugar to the people at 80 rupees per kg.

The SAPM said the farmers will also get good price of their produce. He said subsidy has been given to farmers on seed, fertilizer and pesticides.


(MENAFN) Early trading in the United States on Monday witnessed a surge in oil prices, driven by expectations of dwindling supplies and heightened concerns over potential disruptions to shipping routes. Brent crude futures experienced an increase of 54 cents, or 0.66 percent, reaching USD82.17 per barrel by 16:17 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose by 69 cents, or 0.9 percent, to USD77.18.
The upward momentum in oil prices was partly attributed to reports from the US Central Command indicating a near-miss incident involving a tanker flying the American flag, allegedly targeted by the Houthis in Yemen over the weekend. This incident follows a recent attack on another vessel by the Houthis, which resulted in the ship being stranded in the Red Sea and observed leaking fuel. These events have heightened concerns about potential disruptions to oil shipping routes, contributing to market uncertainty.
Analysts, including Phil Flynn from Price Futures Group, suggest that the focus is shifting back to supply dynamics, as robust demand continues to underpin market sentiment. Flynn emphasized the importance of the supply-demand balance, stating, "Demand is very strong, and in the end, it comes down to supply and demand." Additionally, market observers anticipate a potential uptick in refinery production capacity starting in March, following the completion of scheduled maintenance operations in American refineries. The US Energy Information Administration reported last week that refinery utilization rates in the United States reached 80.6 percent of capacity over the past two weeks, signaling a potential increase in supply in the near future.
Overall, the combination of supply concerns, heightened geopolitical tensions, and the anticipation of refinery capacity restoration has contributed to the recent uptick in oil prices. Market participants continue to closely monitor developments in both supply and demand dynamics, as well as geopolitical events, for further insights into the trajectory of oil prices in the coming weeks.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) A real example of tolerance, which transcends ideas and slogans to become a practical reality. Members of Christian churches in Abu Dhabi on Thursday reacted favourably to the renaming of a mosque in the capital in an example of mutual tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Mosque in Al Mushrif area was renamed to 'Mariam Umm Eisa' mosque, which translates from Arabic as 'Mary Mother of Jesus' (read detailed report here).
The move was ordered by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, as a gesture to promote the social connections between the followers of different religions and strengthen the common characteristics between the divine religions.
Speaking to WAM, Rev. Yousuf Farajallah, Pastor of the Evangelical Arab community in Abu Dhabi, said that the gesture reflects the spirit of Christian and Muslim brotherhood, and the principles and values of interfaith coexistence in the UAE.
Rev. Farajallah added that the gesture is "unprecedented", and reflects the eminence and originality of the UAE's leadership, which is respected by all.
Also expressing his thoughts was Rev. Bishoy Fakhri, Pastor of the Cathedral Church in Abu Dhabi, who said, "The UAE sets a real example of tolerance, which transcends ideas and slogans to become a practical reality and reaching the stage of social harmony." Rev. Fakhri added that the move is a unique gesture and demonstrates the true image of Islam and of peaceful coexistence.
Rev. Ibrahim Farouk, Patron of the Pope Tawadros Christian Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt in Abu Dhabi, told WAM that the UAE is always leading the world in the field of religious tolerance, brotherhood and peace, strengthened through its laws.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Alexandra Evangelista |The Peninsula
Doha, Qatar: Space enthusiasts across the globe can remotely witness the much-awaited total solar eclipse as it moves across North America on Monday, April 8, 2024.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely covering the Sun and revealing its outer atmosphere called the corona. The solar eclipse will be visible to millions of people along the path of totality which stretches from Texas to Maine in the United States.
Ahead of the solar eclipse, NASA has laid out several options for viewers to marvel at the highly anticipated celestial event online.
Hundreds of viewers are already on standby in the official broadcast feed of NASA which will include conversations with astronauts, experts, and telescope views of the eclipse from several sites along the eclipse's path. The live broadcast will begin at 8pm Doha Time.
A separate telescope feed will broadcast the total solar eclipse from several locations across its path, including the partially eclipsed Sun in different wavelengths of light. The live broadcast will begin at 8pm Doha Time.
Launch of Sounding Rockets
During the eclipse, NASA will be launching three sounding rockets for the 'Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path' mission. This is meant to study how the sudden drop in sunlight affects the Earth's upper atmosphere during the eclipse.
The sounding rockets will be launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia during the launch window set from 2:40pm EDT (9:40pm Doha Time) to 4:05pm EDT (11:05pm Doha Time). The rockets will be launched at a 45-minute interval.
Ahead of the event, Canada's Niagara region has already declared a state of emergency to prepare for an influx of solar eclipse viewers. The city is in the path of totality, and Niagara Falls was declared by National Geographic as one of the best places to witness it.

Qatar - Google faces lawsuits over location-tracking
(MENAFN- Gulf Times)
Texas, Indiana and the District of Columbia sued Alphabet Inc's Google yesterday over what they called deceptive location-tracking practices that invade users' privacy.
“Google falsely led consumers to believe that changing their account and device settings would allow customers to protect their privacy and control what personal data the company could access,” Washington, DC Attorney-General Karl Racine's office said in a statement.“The truth is that contrary to Google's representations it continues to systematically surveil customers and profit from customer data. Google's bold misrepresentations are a clear violation of consumers' privacy.”
Washington state Attorney-General Bob Ferguson also said his office is filing a lawsuit against Google.
Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda responded that the“attorneys-general are bringing a case based on inaccurate claims and outdated assertions about our settings”.
“We have always built privacy features into our products and provided robust controls for location data,” he said.“We will vigorously defend ourselves and set the record straight.”
Texas Attorney-General Ken Paxton alleged that Google misled consumers by continuing to track their location even when users sought to prevent it.
Google has a“Location History” setting and informs users if they turn it off“the places you go are no longer stored”, Texas said.
Google“continues to track users' location through other settings and methods that it fails to adequately disclose”, Texas said.
Ferguson noted that in 2020, Google made nearly $150bnfrom advertising.
“Location data is key to Google's advertising business. Consequently, it has a financial incentive to dissuade users from withholding access to that data,” his office said in a statement yesterday.
In May 2020, Arizona filed a similar lawsuit against Google over its collection of location data of users.
That lawsuit is pending.
