DUBAI (UAE), Dec 4 (NNN-SANEWS) - South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged member countries of the G77+China to“stand together in solidarity, to support each other and to speak with one voice at COP 28”.
The President was speaking at the inaugural G77+China Summit on Climate Change held on the sidelines of the Conference of Parties (COP28) held in Dubai.
“Every region and country represented in this group is already experiencing the impact of climate change and its associated loss and damage. This means that we need to stand together in solidarity, to support each other and to speak with one voice at COP 28. We need to contribute our best efforts and to act with urgency.
“Transformative climate action is taking place alongside our efforts to eradicate poverty and inequality. We should therefore coordinate our positions on the transformation of the global financial architecture and reform of the multilateral development banks so that they can support sustainable development,” Ramaphosa said.
He added that countries who are endowed with mineral resources that are critical for energy transitions need to work together to“ensure that the new economy is fairer, more equitable and offers equal opportunity for all”.
“We should forge a united platform against unilateral coercive and trade distorting measures under the guise of climate action. These include carbon border taxes that have the effect of reversing climate finance flows to the Global North.
“We need to reframe the climate action narrative to better address the realities of developing economy countries, to give appropriate recognition to their rights and to acknowledge their contributions to the global fight against this existential threat,” he said.
The President reiterated South Africa's position that developed countries must support the energy transitions of developing countries.
“Since developing economy countries are the least responsible for climate change but the most affected, it is critical that the enabling means of implementation support is provided by countries with developed economies.
“The G77 and China, representing the overwhelming majority of the world's population who live in developing economies, has the opportunity to infuse this vision into the mandate and scope of the new work programme on Just Transition Pathways,” he said. - NNN- SANEWS

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The real estate and construction market has remained stable over the past four months and not been adversely affected by the unjust blockade imposed on Qatar by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
Experts in the field have stressed that the market has also seen enhancements and improvements during this period, according to local Arabic daily Arrayah.
The main reasons behind this is the strength and solidity of the Qatari economy, cash flow, provision of timely and alternative sources of building materials beyond the siege nations, local manufacturing of some construction raw materials, increased supply of plots ready for building and investment, honouring contracts and its making the country an attractive environment for investments, and the inauguration and operation of Hamad Port, which eased the flow of goods and trade, the daily reported Accordingly, the experts point out that compared to last year, there has been an increase of around 50% in the number of plots assigned for various projects.
This has mainly been driven by a strong liquidity position, high purchasing power and signing of scores of contracts to build new residential and commercial complexes.
In addition, the government has offered the necessary support to enhance the growth of the sector, as hopes are high that further improvements will be seen next year.
Mohamed Shaheen al-Dosari, former member of the Central Municipal Council, said the real estate and construction sector has maintained its stability and continues to be attractive for investors due to the increasing demand for all types of real estate properties, whether residential, or commercial or service-oriented.
Engineer Mohamed Ibrahim al-Mohannadi said real estate prices have stabilised and are quite reasonable, reflecting positively on sale and purchase transaction.
Besides, the availability of building materials has made it possible to speed up the building process and, thereby, rent out or sell such properties expeditiously. This is a major incentive for investors to put money in this sector.
Qatari businessman Ahmed al-Khalaf said immediately after the blockade was imposed, the country was able to provide alternative supplies from Turkey, India, Pakistan, Iran and other nations at competitive rates.
The supplies were swiftly made available in the local market and nobody felt there was any shortage, he added.
Besides, the population remained stable, which indicated that all businesses are continuing as usual.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that threatens to publish or freeze access to data or a computer system until the victim pays a ransom fee to the attacker. Keystone / Ronald Wittek
Cyber-attacks are on the rise in Switzerland with 94 ransomware incidents reported in the first half of the year, according to the Sunday weekly Le Matin Dimanche.
This content was published on December 5, 2021 - 13:00 December 5, 2021 - 13:00 swissinfo.ch/ds
The source of that figure is the network supporting investigations against digital crime (NEDIK) but the president of this network believes that the problem is much larger.
Serdar Günal Rütsche told Le Matin Dimanche that the number of cases needs to be multiplied by 20 to get a realistic figure. That would add up to almost 2,000 ransomware attacks in Switzerland this year.
In October, the Beobachter magazine estimated that 2,700 Swiss firms had fallen victim over the past year. That compares with 4,800 attacks over the past five years as a whole.
While Swiss authorities strongly advise against paying hackers, 30 to 50% of hacked companies pay the requested ransom to recover their data, according to Mathias Fuchs of Zug-based Infoguard told Le Matin Dimanche.
The phenomenon of cyber-attacks began in late 2019. This year saw several high-profile companies and institutions confronting ransom demands from cyber criminals. Experts say the vast majority of such cases are not flagged to the authorities.
The coronavirus pandemic has coincided with a surge of different kinds of cyber crime in Switzerland.
In September, the government said it was planning to boost defences against cyber-attacks. This involves the creation of command centre comprising 575 members of the armed forces who will be trained to protect state data, as well as critical infrastructure and private companies active in fields like telecoms or transport.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) The International Monetary Fund's
June 2023 assessment
of Indonesia's export ban policy has reignited debate on Indonesia's downstream industrial policy.
Advocates emphasize its substantial impact on export revenues and value addition, while critics pinpoint the fiscal cost and the market distortions caused by the policy. A more nuanced assessment suggests the merits of both perspectives.
Indonesia's experiment with downstream industrial policy began with the 2009 Mining Law signed by former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which
mandated the domestic processing
of all mineral commodities mined in the country.
But the policy was only implemented in 2014 for nickel and bauxite amid widespread opposition from the mining sector. It was in nickel that Indonesia found its success.
Before banning nickel ore export in 2014, Indonesia predominantly exported raw nickel ore, which is minimally processed into nickel matte. The country's nickel-related exports were a modest US$6 billion in 2013.
By 2022, this figure had skyrocketed to nearly $30 billion , propelled by the exports of higher value-added products such as stainless steel and battery materials.
The most crucial factor to this success appears to be Indonesia's exploitation of its“market power” in nickel production through an export ban.
Chinese firms that were large players in the downstream nickel-based production had no choice but to expand their operations within Indonesia to
to its abundant nickel resources.
The rapid growth of the nickel sector was facilitated by concessional financing under the Belt and Road Initiative. Chinese state-owned banks financed the construction of coal power plants and basic infrastructure, integral components of the industrial areas that fostered economies of scale and agglomeration.

San Francisco, Aug 4 (IANS) Due to high demand, tech giant Microsoft has paused free trials of its recently launched cloud PC Windows 365 service.
Windows 365 introduces a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11 (when it's generally available later this calendar year) for all types of workers, from interns and contractors to software developers and industrial designers.
"Following significant demand, we have reached capacity for Windows 365 trials," the company wrote on Twitter.
"We have seen unbelievable response to Windows 365 and need to pause our free trial program while we provision additional capacity," said Scott Manchester, director of Windows 365 program management.
The Cloud PC draws on the power of the Cloud to provide a powerful and secure full Windows 10 or Windows 11 experience that you can use to empower your workforce, regardless of location or device.
"Your organisation can start to experience the power, simplicity and security of a Cloud PC today through Windows 365. And we have a lot of resources to help you to get started!" the company said recently.

Customs officers at Dubai International Airport seized about six kilograms of marijuana, which a passenger from an African nation tried to smuggle into the country.
Ibrahim Al Kamali, Director of Passenger Operations Department at Dubai Customs, pointed out that Dubai Customs successfully detected a qualitative amount of narcotic after the officers suspected something odd about a passenger's bag while it was passing through the X-ray machine.
During a manual inspection, six packages of peanut butter were recovered stuffed with marijuana weighing 5.95 kilograms.
Al Kamali added that Dubai Customs at Dubai Airports contributes to the application of the highest levels of efficiency in carrying out tasks to protect society. The system is based on qualified human cadres and smart monitoring systems. It also uses artificial intelligence and modern technologies, supported by advanced devices during the inspection.

(MENAFN- Daily Forex) Oil prices were broadly higher on Monday morning after Iraqi troops advanced towards Kirkuk, an oil-rich region in Kurdistan that recently declared independence from Baghdad. Also fueling the price increase were renewed fears that there will be fresh U.S. sanctions against Iran. The Iraqi national army has already taken control of nearby areas claimed by the Kurds without notable opposition thus far.
U.S. WTI was trading up 0.84 percent to $51.88 per barrel as of 2:03 p.m HK/SIN, and Brent crude futures were up 1.08 percent to $57.79 per barrel.
Kurdish-controlled areas of Iraq are among the most productive in the country and they control much of Iraq's producing infrastructure. Traders are concerned that continued fighting over these regions could impact production and harm the critical infrastructure.
Likewise, traders are now looking towards the potential of new U.S. sanctions against Iran to push oil prices higher after U.S. President Donald Trump refused on Friday to formally certify that Tehran is complying with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal even though international inspectors have confirmed that Iran is fully compliant. According to U.S. law, the president must certify Iran's compliance to Congress every 90 days. After Trump's refusal to provide this certification, the U.S. Congress will now have 60 days to decide whether to impose new sanctions on Tehran.
Kuwait's oil minister, Essam al-Marzouq, said on Sunday that there were no signs of oil supply disruptions as a result of Trump's hardened stance or from the conflict in Iraq. 'Until now there are no indications (of an impact on oil production) whether from the actions against Iran or in Iraq's Kurdistan, al-Marzouq told reporters in Kuwait City.
Also weighing on on Monday was an explosion overnight at an oil rig in Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain in which at least six people were injured.

Morocco- Moroccan Man Brings Muslims and Jews Together in NYC
(MENAFN- Morocco World News) When Moroccan Simo El Aissaoui arrived as an immigrant in the US eight years ago, he was surprised to find a divide between Muslims and Jews.
In his country, Muslims and Jews enjoyed a long harmonious history together and he wanted to show Americans that it could be that way here too. El Aissaoui partnered with an advocate for NYC''s Jewish community and began to bring together Moroccan Muslims and American Jews in a social club in NYC. ''What’s amazing about it is that there’s no political agenda, El Aissaoui said. ''It’s nice to see people from different backgrounds get together and understand each other.'' Irina Tsuckerman, a human rights lawyer and advocate for the Jewish community in NYC, agrees on taking advantage of ''what is possible when people see the humanity in one another.'' ''Nurturing warm ties between people who have historically lived together in harmony is important as an example for others to see what is possible when people see the humanity in one another,'' Tsuckerman said. The monthly meetings began in January with only 12 attendants, according to El Aissaoui. But the most recent meetings have seen up to 24, which he says is a fairly even split between young Muslim and Jewish professionals. He stresses the meet-ups are meant to be social in nature so people can simply ''get to know each other.'' ''Everybody has their own faith and everyone needs to respect,'' El Aissaoui said.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Reuters
Harare: Astral Foods expects a 90% plunge in mid-year profit, the poultry processor said on Wednesday, citing rolling power cuts in South Africa that have hit production and hiked costs.
One of South Africa's largest poultry firms, Astral processes nearly six million chickens per week and accounts for about a quarter of the country's broiler meat production.
The company supplies chicken meat to major fast-food brands in the country, as well as wholesale and retail outlets.
It expects headline earnings per share (HEPS) - the main profit measure in South Africa - to drop to 1.42 rand ($0.0828) in the six months to March 2023, from 14.20 rand during the same period a year earlier.
'The poultry division has experienced severe operational disruptions through 1Q2023 due to Eskom load shedding. This has continued and led to abnormal additional costs as well as substantial production cutbacks of at least 12 million broiler placements for the 1H2023,' Astral Foods said in a trading update.
Ageing coal-fired power stations, corrupt coal procurement deals and criminal sabotage have impacted utility Eskom's capacity to supply adequate electricity to South African businesses and households, which are having to go for as long as 10 hours without power.
Erratic electricity supplies affect poultry ventilation systems, slaughter schedules and chicken processing. Delayed slaughter schedules also lead to additional feeding costs.

(MENAFN) Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has boldly declared that the West will not emerge victorious in the proxy war it has unleashed in Ukraine against Russia. In a speech to the country's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Orban emphasized Ukraine's dependence on its Western supporters for war supplies, asserting that without this external assistance, Ukraine would be incapable of challenging Russia. According to Orban, it is "obvious" that the West will not win this proxy war, as he categorizes the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Orban's remarks underscore the pivotal role of external support in shaping the dynamics of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He highlighted that Ukraine relies on foreign sources for its war supplies, signaling a strategic dependence on Western backers. The prime minister categorically labeled the current state of affairs as a proxy war, stating that this perception is shared widely.
The Hungarian leader proposed that the only viable solution to the conflict lies in initiating peace negotiations, expressing hope that such discussions will occur sooner rather than later, with the active involvement of the United States. Orban has consistently placed the responsibility for resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict in the hands of the United States, Kiev's primary supporter.
Orban's stance on the conflict has been consistent, with previous statements emphasizing Hungary's belief in the importance of a ceasefire and the commencement of peace negotiations between Moscow and Kiev. Notably, Hungary has diverged from other NATO members by opposing sanctions on Russian energy, challenging Western policies on Ukraine, and advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis.
The article explores Orban's critique of Western strategies in Ukraine, citing his belief that European nations have failed to localize the conflict and missed crucial opportunities to broker a peace agreement. Orban's perspective sheds light on Hungary's unique position within NATO, as it stands out for its dissenting views on the ongoing conflict and its emphasis on diplomatic solutions over punitive measures.

(MENAFN- IANS) Madrid, June 10 (IANS) Real Madrid confirmed the return of left back Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano for the next four seasons.
The 23-year-old defender has agreed a four-year contract until the end of June 2027, as Real Madrid paid five million euros for his services after conserving 50 percent of his rights when he joined Rayo in 2020, reports Xinhua.
Garcia returns to the club where he began his career after an excellent season with Rayo, playing over 3,400 minutes in the season which has just finished.
He will help cover the position of left back after Marcelo left the club in 2022 and with Ferland Mendy likely to leave this summer after a campaign badly affected by injury.
When asked about Garcia in a press conference last week, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said the defender "has a lot of energy, he is very fast and attacks very well. He has a good profile to play in Real Madrid and he will be with us."
Garcia is Real Madrid's second signing for the 2023-2024 season after confirming the arrival of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of 103 million euros plus possible add-ons.
Garcia isn't the only player to leave Rayo this summer, with Osasuna on Friday confirming the signing of central defender Alejandro Catena on a free transfer after the conclusion of his contract with the club from the south of Madrid.

(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, a move seen as a warning to the West as it steps up military support for Ukraine. Putin said the decision was triggered by Britain's decision to provide Ukraine with armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium, which he falsely claimed had nuclear components.
Tactical nuclear weapons are intended for use on the battlefield, and Russia plans to maintain control over the ones it stations in Belarus. Putin did not disclose how many nuclear weapons Russia would keep in Belarus, but the US government estimates that Russia has about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons.
In a state television interview broadcast on Saturday night, Putin argued that Russia was following the lead of the United States by stationing its tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. He noted that the US has nuclear weapons based in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
The announcement raises concerns about the escalating tensions between Russia and the West and the potential for a nuclear arms race. The international community must work towards promoting greater dialogue and cooperation to prevent the escalation of conflicts and the use of nuclear weapons.
The deployment of nuclear weapons on the battlefield poses a significant risk to both troops and civilians, and any use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic consequences. The international community must work towards promoting disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons to ensure international peace and security.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) The number of registered Syrian refugees in Jordan has passed 30,000, the UN has announced, as relief agencies continue to struggle to raise funds to provide basic services to the vulnerable community.
The number of documented Syrian refugees rose to 31,000 after over 3,000 Syrians registered with the UN over the past week: the single largest increase in a seven-day time span since the start of the 18-month-old crisis, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
The bulk of the newly registered refugees originate from Daraa, which has been the epicentre of fresh clashes between government and rebel forces that sparked an exodus of over 6,000 Syrians into Jordan last week.
The UN acknowledges that the number of registrations is unrepresentative of the total number of vulnerable Syrians in Jordan, which various official estimates place at 50,000 and which the UNHCR expects to reach 70,000 by year-end.
The UN agency attributes the recent spike in registrations to growing expectations among the refugee community of an extended stay in Jordan and a desire to secure the benefits that come along with registration: basic healthcare, food aid and cash assistance.
The rising demand for basic services, however, comes amid an ongoing funding shortfall, relief officials say, with the UN reporting that it has secured less than 30 per cent of an $84 million regional fund launched in March to support Syrian refugee host countries, and 10 per cent of the $40 million earmarked for Jordan.
In addition to the basic needs of vulnerable Syrians, relief agencies also face the additional costs of opening and operating the Kingdom's first Syrian refugee camp, which is currently being built on the outskirts of Mafraq, 80 kilometres north of Amman, and whose establishment is expected to further stretch already-limited resources.
Although government officials have refused to disclose the cost of the camp, to be jointly funded by the UN and donations secured by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation, relief officials estimate that the facility will require some $1 million each month in cash and in-kind assistance.
In light of the widening humanitarian impact of the ongoing crisis, the UNHCR increased its international aid appeal in May to some $192 million in order to continue providing services to the 98,000 registered Syrian refugees across the region.
The UN is currently preparing a third aid appeal should the Syrian refugee exodus continue.
Government officials have repeatedly highlighted the stress the growing refugee community is placing on the Kingdom's scarce resources, with the presence of over 140,000 Syrians spurring a housing shortage, rising food prices and a costly spike in water demand.
Despite the burden, Amman continues to follow an open-border policy, providing refuge as well as access to public education and healthcare services to all Syrians who enter the country.

'We have not encouraged or guided them, it has been based on their will. We are in Syria based on the request of Syrian government, Bahrami said. 'We have had advisory role there and we are doing this with the agreement of Syrian government.
The official, meanwhile expressed hope that the Afghan security forces earn that capability to defend their country with no support of international forces. (ATN)

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has ratified the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Some 291 MPs voted in favor of a draft law on ratifying document No.0125, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
According to an explanatory note to the document, the purpose of the Nagoya Protocol is to share the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources in a fair and equitable way, including by ensuring proper access to and proper transfer of relevant technologies, taking into account all rights to those resources and technologies, as well as through adequate funding, thus contributing to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components.
It is noted that Ukraine's membership in the protocol requires payment from the state budget of an annual contribution to its Trust Fund in the amount of about 3,000 U.S. dollars. Thus, it is established that the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine will be the central executive body responsible for fulfilling the obligations arising from Ukraine's membership in the Nagoya Protocol, including the payment of an annual fee.
It is expected that the implementation of the protocol will stimulate the conservation of natural resources in Ukraine as a source of income and improve the human environment, raise investment attractiveness and improve the international image of the state as one for which environmental protection is a priority.

Nataliia Humeniuk, the head of the joint press center of Ukraine's Operational Command South, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reports.
"The left bank [of the Dnipro River] in the Kherson Region is a complex part of our zone of responsibility. And work there is, of course, ongoing. Combat work is ongoing. But not everything cannot be made public, even under the conditions that we have already been able to make some part public. There is a big difference between the terms 'have entrenched themselves' and 'are entrenching themselves.' We continue the combat work, and the marine units work powerfully. Using all available forces and assets, we are trying to fulfill the main task - to push back the enemy units as far as possible in order to make life easier, first of all, on the right bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region," Humeniuk said.
She noted that the enemy was trying to compensate for this by using tactical aircraft. According to her, the enemy is adding unmanned attacks to tactical aircraft.
"Today's nighttime activity of Shahed drones and the activity of FPV drones in our sector is quite high," Humeniuk added.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said earlier that in the Kherson region, Ukraine's defense forces had established themselves on several bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River and continued to hold the achieved lines.

Belarus justifies nuclear negotiations with Russia

In his Independence Day speech in the nation's capital, Minsk, Lukashenko declared that “this topic with the President of Russia appeared after the Poles turned to the Americans and asked them to bring nuclear weapons to Poland. Then I told President Putin: ‘Why are we pretending that nothing is happening?’”
Lukashenko clarified that his discussions on the subject with Putin must not be interpreted as "nuclear blackmail." He asserted that following extensive deliberation, it was decided that Minsk should be prepared to respond defensively to possible hostile action "within 24 hours." " To do this, we need to prepare. And we will prepare. We do not threaten anyone, we do not blackmail anyone,” he noted.

US intel head: Fighting in Russia’s conflict in Ukraine runs at a “reduced tempo”
(MENAFN) The chief of US intelligence states fighting in Russia’s conflict in Ukraine is running at a “reduced tempo” and proposes Ukrainian troops might have brighter predictions in next months.
Avril Haines mentioned past claims by some that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s advisers might be shielding him from bad news — for Russia — about conflict changes, and stated he “is becoming more informed of the challenges that the military faces in Russia.”
“But it’s still not clear to us that he has a full picture of at this stage of just how challenged they are,” the US director of national intelligence announced late Saturday at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California.
Looking ahead, Haines added, “honestly we’re seeing a kind of a reduced tempo already of the conflict” and her team anticipates that the two sides will look to refit, resupply, and re-form for a likely Ukrainian counter-offensive in the spring.
“But we actually have a fair amount of skepticism as to whether or not the Russians will be in fact prepared to do that,” she continued. “And I think more optimistically for the Ukrainians in that timeframe.”
