(MENAFN - Gulf Times) * MoTC programme also plays key role in environment sector
The Smart Qatar Programme (Tasmu), one of the key initiatives led by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC), is a highly valued programme for the health sector in Qatar, a health official has said.
Commenting on the achievements of Tasmu in the healthcare sector, Dr Juliet Ibrahim, eHealth director at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), said: 'Tasmu is a highly valued programme for the health sector in Qatar, as it will provide smart services that aim to improve the timeliness and convenience of healthcare services, as well as support improved health outcomes through innovative digital services and applications.
The MoTC recently stressed that "remarkable achievements" were accomplished by Tasmu in 2020 in terms of smart solution.
In the healthcare sector, working closely with the MoPH and other stakeholders, Tasmu accelerated the implementation of Virtual Consultation service, which ensured that the local community is empowered to curb the Covid-19 pandemic and can access medical advice, diagnosis and prescriptions from the comfort and safety of their homes, the MoTC said in a statement.
The first virtual consultation clinic was launched on March 26, 2020 and 188 clinics had been made available to date across the MoPH, Primary Health Care Corporation, Hamad Medical Corporation and Sidra Medicine. Since then, more than 720,000 voice and video consultations have been conducted with patients from over 100 different nationalities in collaboration with healthcare providers, of which more than 56,000 were done through the Tasmu Virtual Consultation solution.
In the Environment sector, Tasmu's Digital Farmer Community solution has been successfully piloted in collaboration with the Agricultural Affairs department of the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME). Being developed exclusively for the farming community, the solution provides localised agriculture information and crop-specific advice. Leveraging IoT and satellite technology, the solution establishes a national repository of knowledge for all farms in Qatar, helping increase farms' productivity while reducing the usage of fertilisers and pesticides.
In 2020, seven farms participated in the pilot phase, which tested some of the platform features ahead of the full launch planned to take place in 2021 that will grant all farms in Qatar with full access to the smart solution. The sophisticated solution integrated real-time weather data from the Qatar Meteorology Department and high-resolution satellite images from the Centre for Geographic Information System to assist farms with professional advice on production planning, crop best practices, pest and disease management.
The year 2020 also saw the successful completion of phase one of the National Food Security Analytics solution, in collaboration with the Food Security Department of the MME, which acts as a centralised database integrating insightful information from various stakeholders and provides recommendations to government officials and business owners to help safeguard national food security by unlocking the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven decision making. Empowering import diversification and promoting local production, the pilot solution will see the addition of more features in 2021 when it is fully launched.

(MENAFN) The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has ambitious plans to create an innovative city dedicated to space exploration, known as the "Science Fiction Space City" or "Mars War." The initial phase of this project is expected to cost 5 billion Saudi riyals, which is approximately equivalent to 1.3 billion dollars. However, the total cost could potentially surpass 20 billion riyals in its final phase. These plans signify the nation's commitment to advancing space exploration and innovation.
During the "Taif Investment Forum" held in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia, investment contracts worth more than 11 billion riyals, equivalent to 2.9 billion dollars, were inked. One of the prominent investments included the collaborative establishment of the "Science Fiction Space City" with the Chinese Beijing Technology Group. This space-inspired city will serve as a unique tourism project that seamlessly combines technology, science, and the wonder of space, with a particular focus on Mars exploration.
Beyond the "Science Fiction Space City," the investment forum greenlit several diverse projects in various sectors. These encompass the creation of five-star luxury resorts, the development of innovative materials aimed at reducing energy consumption in computers, and the establishment of a facility for rose cultivation and beauty product manufacturing. These ventures align with Saudi Arabia's broader economic diversification initiative, aiming to elevate its status as a leading investment destination with a strong focus on advancing technology and innovation.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Jordan and Germany on Tuesday signed a 30 million euro soft loan agreement to finance the second phase of the Water Resources Management Programme and an 8.5 million euro grant to help meet the water needs of Syrian refugees.
The funds, to be extended by the German Development Bank (KfW), will go towards the construction of a pipeline between Khaou and Zaatari, which is part of the Disi Water Conveyance Project, to supply Zarqa and the northern governorates with water.
Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Jafar Hassan indicated that the soft loan carries a 2.5 per cent interest rate, a grace period of four years and a maturity period of 15 years.
Hassan and Minister of Water and Irrigation Mohammad Najjar signed the agreement with KfW Director for North Africa and the Middle East Wolfgang Reuss in the presence of German Ambassador to Jordan Ralph Tarraf.
The grant signed on Tuesday, meanwhile, will go towards supplying Syrian refugees in Jordan with water and reducing pressure on the water supply in the northern governorates.
Another 1.5 million euro grant will also be extended to Jordan to support planning and management units at the water ministry.
"Germany is one of only a few countries that responded quickly by providing urgent aid to Jordan to help the country in hosting large numbers of Syrian refugees," Hassan said during the signing ceremony.
According to Najjar, part of the grants will be used to reduce energy consumption in the water sector, which consumes nearly 14 per cent of all electricity generated in Jordan.
He noted that the French government will finance the construction of a pipeline between Abu Alanda in south Amman and Khaou in Zarqa, which is the first phase of supplying Zarqa and the northern region with water through the Disi project.
Najjar expected the projects to be concluded in two years.
As Jordan suffers severe water scarcity, it is important for Germany to support the water sector, Tarraf said, adding that the German relief agency has built water networks inside the Zaatari Refugee Camp near Mafraq.
What Germany is offering is small compared to the burden Jordan is bearing by hosting Syrian refugees, he added.
The KfW director noted that more cooperation projects between Amman and the bank are in the pipeline, with some to be concluded in the coming months.

Turkey- Business as usual for Turkish firms in Baghdad
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Turkish investment projects in Baghdad remain underway despite the abduction of 18 Turkish workers in Iraq’s violence-prone capital an Iraqi investment official said Monday.
Early this month 18 Turkish workers were abducted from a Baghdad construction site by members of an armed Shia militia group.
“Turkish companies have continued to carry out their work in Baghdad” Shaker al-Zamli president of Baghdad Province’s investment organization said. “They have not been affected by the abductions especially in light of ongoing security coordination with the [Iraqi] army police and intelligence apparatus.”
Turkish firms are currently carrying out a host of investment projects in Iraq’s housing health and tourism sectors according to al-Zamli who went on to note that some 80 percent of the workers involved in such projects were Iraqis.
The 18 Turkish workers were abducted on Sept. 2 from a construction site in Sadr City a majority-Shia suburb of Baghdad by unidentified gunmen in army uniform.
All those abducted are employees of Nurol Holding a Turkish construction firm.
On Friday a video appeared online purportedly showing the 18 abductees kneeling before five masked men holding guns.
In the video the abductees – who include three engineers and an accountant – give their names and the names of their hometowns.
The subtitled video includes a call on the Turkish government to meet the kidnappers’ demands in order to secure the hostages’ release.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry meanwhile has said it was making every effort to secure the men’s release.
Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic told Anadolu Agency that Turkey was closely monitoring the situation while urging the Iraqi authorities to secure the release of the hostages as soon as possible.
In June 2014 49 Turkish hostages were released by their captors in Iraq after having been abducted by the Daesh militant group when it took over the northern city of Mosul.

(MENAFN) According to Reuters, India dramatically increased its imports of Russian coal in July after switching to non-dollar payments to close deals. Considering the dollar to be "toxic," Moscow is attempting to steer clear of transactions in light of US sanctions.
With coal imports rising by more than a fifth to a record 2.06 million tons in July compared to the previous month, Russia overtook China as India's third-largest coal supplier.
Based on a summary of transactions compiled by a trade source based in India using customs documents, Indian buyers paid for at least 742,000 tons of Russian coal in June using currencies other than the US dollar, which is equal to 44% of the 1.7 million tons of Russian imports that month.
According to customs documents examined by the agency, Indian steelmakers and cement producers recently bought Russian coal using the UAE dirham, the Hong Kong dollar, the Chinese yuan, and the euro.
Last month, 31% of non-dollar payments for Russian coal were made in Chinese yuan, while 28% were made in Hong Kong dollars. Data from the trade source shows that the euro made up less than a quarter of the total and the Emirati dirham about a sixth.

(MENAFN) In a significant move, the United States has once again exercised its veto power at the United Nations Security Council, blocking a resolution that called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The draft, put forward by Algeria, received support from 13 out of the 15 Security Council members, with the United States casting the lone "no" vote, while Britain chose to abstain.
United States Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield argued that demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire without an agreement requiring Hamas to release hostages would not contribute to a "durable peace." This marks the third time the United States has used its veto power to thwart ceasefire proposals, emphasizing its stance on the matter.
Thomas-Greenfield had previously indicated opposition to the new ceasefire effort, expressing concerns that it could jeopardize negotiations between the conflicting parties. The United States delegation has been adamant that any ceasefire agreement should include provisions for the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
The latest draft resolution, while not directly linking the ceasefire to the release of hostages, did call for the unconditional release of individuals captured during Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel in October 7. The Algerian United Nations envoy, Amar Bendjama, framed supporting the resolution as backing the Palestinians' right to life, while opposing it would be seen as an endorsement of the violence and collective punishment inflicted upon them.
The repeated use of the United States veto in the United Nations Security Council underscores the challenges in reaching a consensus on the situation in Gaza and raises questions about the effectiveness of international diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict. The divergent perspectives within the Security Council members highlight the complexities of navigating the path to a sustainable and lasting peace in the region.

Srinagar- Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday hoisted the national flag at the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' camp site here and followed it with a fun snowball fight with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Donning a white T-shirt and a sleeveless jacket, the former Congress chief hoisted the flag at the camp site in Panthachowk to the tunes of the national anthem played to mark the culmination of the yatra, amid a fresh snowfall in the city.
In a brief address to the 'Bharat Yatris', Gandhi thanked them for their love, affection and support through the 136-day foot march, which began in Kanyakumari on September 7 last year.
The Gandhi siblings later joined Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and scores of other party leaders at the Pradesh Congress Committee office on the Maulana Azad Road where another flag hoisting ceremony was held. The national anthem was playing after this.
The local administration had made stringent security arrangements for the programme as Lal Chowk was off limits for vehicular traffic for the second consecutive day.
Thousands of office goers had to foot the distance of around a kilometre or more to reach their work places in Lal Chowk and the adjoining areas.
Gandhi had on Sunday unfurled the national flag at the iconic clock tower in Lal Chowk to mark the end of the foot march of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, Jan 7 (IANS) Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently holidaying in Egypt, said that with her visit, she has“blessed” the cursed Tomb of Tutankhamun.
Sonakshi took to Instagram, where she shared a string of pictures of herself from Luxor, Egypt. She is seen flaunting a perfect golden glow and is dressed in a simple White salwar kameez and uses her dupatta as a headgear.
She captioned the images:“Luxor, Valley of the kings and the temple of queen Hatsheput.”
The actress also posed in front of a sign which read:“Tomb of Tutankhamun.”
In the comment section, actress Richa Chadha cautioned Sonakshi by writing:“The Tomb of Tutankhamun as a curse, beware.”
To which, Sonakshi hilariously replied:“@therichachadha now its blessed after my visit.”
Actress Aditi Rao Hydari dropped a comment praising Sonakshi.
She wrote:“You Byoot (beautiful).”
Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt, in the Valley of the Kings. His tomb consists of four chambers and an entrance staircase and corridor.
Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by excavators led by Howard Carter.
The death of Carter's patron, the Earl of Carnarvon, in the midst of the excavation process inspired speculation that the tomb was cursed.

New Delhi, Dec 1 (IANS) In view of prescribing a consistent uniform to all interns of different associations, the Delhi High Court on Thursday put a hold on the Shahdara Bar Association's (SBA) recent resolution of a dress code for law interns.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh asked the Bar Council of Delhi to hold a meeting of all bar associations in the national capital and other stakeholders to reach a consensus on what uniform law interns should wear.
'Considering a large number of interns, a uniform policy ought to be arrived at with the consent of all stakeholders. A consistent uniform should be prescribed because if different associations prescribe different uniforms then the interns will be inconvenienced,' she said.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has also been asked to join the meeting.
The petition was filed by a second-year law student through advocates Ujwal Ghai, Shivek Rai Kapoor, Sanchit Saini, and Arpit Sharma.
In order to distinguish interns from lawyers, the SBA passed a decision on November 24 restricting interns from wearing black coats in Delhi's Karkardooma courts. They were told to wear a white shirt, blue coat, and trousers from December 1 onwards.
The SBA in its resolution had said that the interns would not be allowed to attend courts if they fail to adhere to the prescribed dress code.

(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Oman's new visa rules for certain countries is sure to boost tourism, particularly in markets such as China - the number one in international outbound tourism and overseas spending.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Omani-Chinese Tourism Companies Forum held in collaboration with Oman-China Friendship Association on Thursday, Salim al Mamari, director general of tourism promotion at the Ministry of Tourism (MoT), said penetrating into the Chinese market is high on Oman's agenda.
'China is world's largest outbound tourism market. The number of outbound tourists from China increased to 135mn in 2016 and international tourism expenditure also rose to US$261bn. They are high-end tourists. And I think now Oman is ready to welcome them,' he said.
He said that new visa rules will boost Chinese arrivals. 'In 2016, 16,500 tourists visited Oman, registering a growth of 19.5 per cent. We are not into numbers, but we are also looking at high-end tourists.
'Chinese are very sensitive tourists who need special services, such as Chinese guides, Chinese cuisine. Our growth has to be steady.'
Oman and China had signed an MoU earlier. 'We are planning to have a representative in China, maybe next year to boost Oman among Chinese tourists.'
Mamari also said air connectivity is not a problem as other airlines are also promoting Oman in China. 'We have a facilitation agreement with Dubai and Doha. We want to be different from other countries. Strategies have to be different for different markets. We have Omanis who speak Chinese and we have to be prepared,' he said.
The forum witnessed the participation of 16 major travel and tourism Chinese companies, as well as Omani companies in the tourism sector.
Sayyid Adil al Busaidi, advisor on Tourism Affairs, MoT said, 'This gathering gives us the opportunity to discuss Oman's new tourism attractionsand Chinese investors' interests.'
Zhanlin Jin, deputy director of China Association of Travel Services in China said the forum threw light on what Oman has to offer. 'Oman has what Chinese tourists want. It just lacked marketing but the forum will help in making Oman known in China,' he said.

Analysts had been expecting July to see a steep downturn following June's spike in sales at aircraft giant Boeing. But the decrease was more than enough to reverse the gains recorded in June.
Durable goods orders have now been down for three of the last four months, possibly weighing on economic growth.
Total orders for durable goods fell 6.8 percent from June to $229.2 billion, the biggest one-month drop since August of 2014. Analyst had been expecting a fall of only six percent.
Year-to-date, however, orders were still five percent above the first seven months of 2016.
Civilian aircraft fell 70.7 percent for the month, after June's 129.3 percent gain.
Excluding the volatile transportation segment, however, orders rose 0.5 percent, the third monthly gain in a row.
The defense sector was July's strong point. Excluding defense goods, orders fell an even steeper 7.8 percent.
Orders for military aircraft rose 47.8 percent while defense capital goods gained 14.7 percent.
Pointing to a continuing recovery in the oil drilling sector, non-defense capital goods orders rose 0.4 percent.
Computers and electronic products also had their strongest sales in a year, adding 1.6 percent.
But sales of cars and car parts, which have had a weak first half of 2017, fell 1.2 percent, the largest monthly decrease since May of 2016.

(MENAFN) Piyush Goyal, the Trade Minister of India, has communicated to Agence France-Presse that his nation will refrain from finalizing any new agreements during the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Conference unless the United States ceases to impede the negotiation of a resolution regarding the dispute settlement mechanism. Goyal made these remarks while attending the Thirteenth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization in Abu Dhabi. Although he did not explicitly mention the United States, it is widely understood that his statement alludes to the country's actions. Washington's suspension of the organization's trade dispute settlement mechanism in 2019, following years of hindrance in appointing new judges to the Court of Appeals, remains a significant point of contention.
Goyal's arrival in the UAE capital on Tuesday evening preceded his comments, underscoring the importance of the issue at hand. He expressed a belief that the World Trade Organization's operations have effectively reached a standstill, emphasizing the urgent need to address the impasse. Specifically, he stressed the necessity of reinstating an appeals body, implicitly referencing the United States' role in obstructing this process.
The lack of progress in the dispute settlement system, according to Goyal, poses a threat to the potential ratification of new agreements within the organization. Given the requirement for full consensus among the 164 member states, as per the WTO's internal regulations, any impasse in the dispute resolution mechanism could significantly hinder the advancement of crucial agreements. Goyal's stance underscores India's firm commitment to resolving the deadlock surrounding the dispute settlement mechanism and ensuring progress within the framework of the World Trade Organization.

(MENAFN- IANS) Belagavi (Karnataka), Dec 11 (IANS) Karnataka BJP MLAs staged a protest on the floor of the Assembly on Monday demanding the sacking of state minister and B.Z. Zameer Ahmad Khan for a remark he made during campaigning for recently-held Assembly elections in Telangana.
Khan had reportedly said that the Congress government in Karnataka had compelled all the BJP MLAs to salute a Muslim Speaker (U.T. Khader), stirring a controversy in the southern state.
Leading his party MLAs to the Well of the House, leader of opposition R. Ashoka demanded that Khan should be sacked for his 'insulting' remark involving the position of the Speaker.
“We don't know in which country we are living. Is this Pakistan? Khan should be sacked for showing BJP leaders in poor light,” Ashoka said.
However, Speaker U.T. Khader did not pay heed to the ruckus and instead commenced a question and answer session.
“The opposition leaders should be ashamed for not bothering to discuss about the Central government's apathy towards the state government over the drought situation,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
"During drought and flood situations, the employment guarantee scheme could be extended to 150 days as per the law. But the Central government is not bothering to respond, and the shameless BJP leaders don't want to discuss the issue. Instead, they are protesting over a useless matter," he added.
Meanwhile, Khan maintained that there was nothing wrong in his statement.
“I had stated that everyone should convey their respect to the Speaker, what's wrong with that," he asked.
Khader, meanwhile, said that he had already responded to the statement of Khan made in another state.
“Assembly is run for the benefit of the people. Discussions should be held on drought and north Karnataka region. If the session is interrupted, Rs 20 crore spent on it would be useless,” Khader said.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) Repercussions from Hamas' October 7 attack continue to reverberate beyond Israel's borders. In Syria, skirmishes between Iranian-backed militias, Israeli forces, and American troops are complicating
efforts to contain the fighting .
But as diplomats from
race to prevent a wider war, Russia, a key Syrian ally, has been conspicuously quiet. For Moscow, chaos may be a means to an end.
After decades of relative calm, fighting along Syria's southern border with Israel has returned. Initial clashes involved the
exchange of mortar fire , but tensions escalated significantly on November 10, when an armed drone reportedly flew more than 400 kilometers from southern Syria across Jordan to
hit an Israeli school
in the city of Eilat.
In response, Israel targeted not only the
perpetrators of the attack
– without naming them – but also
two Syrian airports
believed to serve as transit hubs for weapons to Iranian-backed militias throughout the region.
While concerns are mounting that these escalations could turn Syria into a new front in the Israel-Hamas war, Moscow's attempts to defuse the situation carry little clout, experts say.

(MENAFN) Gold prices experienced a notable increase on Monday, attributed to mounting tensions in the Middle East that intensified demand for the precious metal as a safe haven amid limited market activity. In instantaneous transactions, gold rose by 0.4 percent, reaching USD2,025.99 per ounce as of 04:03 GMT. Concurrently, US gold futures saw a 0.4 percent uptick, settling at USD2,025.20.
The uncertainty in the Middle East has kept investors keen on gold as a reliable safe-haven asset, according to Tim Water, Chief Market Analyst at KCM Trade. The recent drone attack near the Syrian border, resulting in the death of three American soldiers, has heightened geopolitical concerns, prompting investors to turn to gold for security.
In addition to geopolitical tensions, market sentiment is also influenced by anxieties surrounding the Chinese company Evergrande, which has been ordered to liquidate. Tim Water noted that this development impacts risk appetite, and while the immediate upside is temporarily on hold, attention is directed towards the impending meeting of the US central bank.
The Federal Reserve’s meeting, scheduled for January 30-31, has heightened anticipation among investors. Markets are expecting the central bank to maintain the current interest rates, and investors are keenly awaiting statements from the Federal Reserve Chairman for clarification on the matter.
In the broader spectrum of precious metals, silver saw a 0.5 percent increase in spot transactions, reaching USD22.91 per ounce. However, platinum experienced a 0.2 percent decline, settling at USD911.18, and palladium recorded a 0.3 percent drop, reaching USD952.33. The dynamics in the precious metals market reflect a delicate balance between geopolitical uncertainties and the forthcoming guidance from central banks.
