ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill on Thursday said that ‘morally’ and ‘financially corrupt’ Zardari-like politics revolved around personal interests. Reacting to the statement of Bilawal Bhutto, he said that the performance of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman also dubious like his election as party head. He said that Zardari’s party which was confined to Sindh province in 2018 was now only limited to Larkana. He said that ‘supporters’ of provincial autonomy also looted in the name of sovereignty. Shahbaz Gill said that PPP had equally destroyed urban and rural areas of Sindh. He said that those who have ruled the province six times and the federal government four times, have only robed the people instead of launching public welfare projects. He said that the PPP chairman’s unwarranted criticism on the federal government was a failed attempt to divert attention from the chaotic situation in Sindh. He said that instead of creating drama in the media every day, the PPP chairman should be held accountable for his corruption. He said that the PPP chairman was also involved in 22 NAB inquiries and six other cases in which former president Asif Ali Zardari was on bail.

PANAJI: North Goa police
have decided to conduct a survey
to identify foreigners involved in crime and residing without valid documents in the state.
With footfalls of overseas tourist set to commence, North Goa police said that they want to act against these foreigners first.
“Legal action will be taken against those foreigners who are involved in crime, residing in the state without documents and overstaying,” North Goa SP Shobhit Saxena said.
To improve safety and security measures for tourists, Goa police have also decided to increase 24-hour pickets in coastal areas where more crimes are reported from.
Police said that they have already mapped such places and that they will review all areas on a monthly basis to check for the crime rate there.
The department has also decided to deploy additional staff where needed, to maintain law and order.
As per the statistics report issued by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) for 2020, the cases of crimes involving foreigners in Goa are around eight times that committed against them.
Goa recorded 11 cases of crimes against foreigners last year as opposed to 80 cases of offences committed by them.
The country as a whole saw a total 127 cases of crimes against foreigners as against 1,754 cases where the foreigners were involved in crime.
NCRB said that there has been a decrease in crimes against foreigners as also crimes committed by foreigners, which Goa Police attributed to the pandemic saying that a negligible number of foreign tourists visited the state during this period.
In 2019, 21 cases of crimes against foreigners were reported as compared to 110 cases of offences committed by them.
In Goa, Russians and Nigerians are mostly involved in narcotics cases.
As there are more foreigners involved in crime, the state government has opened a detention centre for them at Mapusa.
To keep a check on habitual offenders, history-sheeters and to ensure the safety of citizens, Goa police have decided to conduct round-the-clock patrolling in coastal as well as urban areas.
Police said that additional staff have been deployed for beat policing.
Police said that they will also take action against illegal activities in the tourism belt.


FIJI National University's Dean for the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Services, Professor Ian Rouse says there are significant health problems in the country that are being faced around the Pacific and the world.
Prof Rouse said some of those health problems included infectious diseases but the big burden that Fiji was facing were non-communicable diseases.
"We have a lot of cases such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancer which is being well recognised in the Pacific especially in Fiji and is becoming a significant problem," he said.
"The health system on its own cannot cope with such diseases and there are not enough resources. Some key message coming through from agencies like World Health Organisation is that they need everybody in the country to be involved through their communities in addressing issues such as NCDs."
Prof Rouse said communities needed to understand health issues and understand what they needed to do especially working together.

(MENAFN- Famagusta Gazette) Moody's Investors Service has upgraded Cyprus's credit ratings to investment grade for the first time in over 11 years, by raising its status two notches up, from Ba1 to Baa2, according to a statement issued by the agency.
The agency also changed the outlook of the Cypriot economy from stable to positive.
Cyprus's government, in statements by President Nikos Christodoulides and Finance Minister Makis Keravnos, hailed the upgrading as a significant event which will translate into new opportunities and further investments.
Canadian agency DBRS, which was the first to raise Cyprus's ratings to investment grade since September 2021, also upgraded its ratings late on Friday by one notch from BBB (low) to BBB (high), citing the steady drop of the public debt.
Moody's said in its statement that“the two-notch upgrade of Cyprus' ratings to Baa2 from Ba1 reflects broad-based, sustained improvements in its credit profile because of past and ongoing economic, fiscal, and banking reforms.”
Moody's cited as reasons for Cyprus's upgrading significant private and public investments and structural reforms, and also the“material improvement” of its fiscal strength.
Moody's said it expects the Cypriot economy to grow by 2.3 percent in 2023, 2.8 percent in 2024 and by 3.2 percent over 2025 to 2027.
As a result of economic growth, Moody's said that the public debt will be reduced from 86.5 percent in 2022 to 74 percent in 2024 and below 60 percent in 2027. ■

SAN FRANCISCO — More than 10,000 people in the United States are expected to get a flu shot, and that number could rise dramatically as the number of cases continues to drop, a top federal health official said Tuesday.
U.S. health officials are recommending that more than 6 million Americans get a shot, a total of about 15 million people, in the coming months.
A total of 7,000 additional people have been vaccinated in the past month, including those in California and Florida.
The increase in flu shots could be more significant because the virus is already circulating in the air, the official said, and people are already getting more flu shots than they need.
In California, more than 1.1 million people have received shots, but the number could go as high as 2.1, according to the state health department.
California has about 2.5 million people in nursing homes and is expecting to have about 1.3 million by the end of March, which is when the federal vaccine schedule ends, said Dr. Scott Poulsen, California’s health commissioner.
Poulsen said that would put the state well ahead of New York, which has a higher number of people in hospitals and nursing homes.
“We’re not even in the ballpark,” he said.
“We’re getting more people now in our nursing homes than we were a year ago.”
The California government is spending $3.4 billion to vaccinate about 14 million people.
It is also sending more than 2,500 doctors and nurses to help patients get flu shots.


Hailemariam told the BBC that an investigation by Ethiopia's Human Rights Commission was the only way to deal with the issue.
The Ethiopian prime minister (PM) rejected calls by the UN and EU for independent investigations into the deaths of hundreds of people during anti-government protests, over the past year.
PM Hailemariam Desalegn further stated that Ethiopia is able to carry out its own investigations.
Protesters from the Amhara and Oromia regions have been complaining about political and economic marginalization for months. This resulted in the government imposing a state of emergency aimed at halting the protests.
Ethiopia was overtaken by an unusually large number of demonstrations, which began in November 2015. International rights groups have said that hundreds of people have lost their lives in police-protester clashes. The Ethiopian Government has disputed the figures and said that the security forces were responding to "anti-peace forces."
Hailemariam told the BBC that an investigation by the Ethiopia's Human Rights Commission was the only way to deal with the issue. He pointed out that the commission was an independent institution, but admitted that it "lacked capacity" and could be strengthened. The prime minister also explained that the state of emergency had brought back "normalcy" to the country and added that those who were arrested are being held in prison and will face the judicial process.

Mr Chidiebere Nwachukwu, Chairman of Umuahia North Local Government Area, said that the initiative would ensure that primary healthcare centres were put into maximum use.
Nwachukwu added that the execution of the free antenatal care service by the present administration would improve the health of the public in the state.

Dec 22, Colombo: Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa asked the main opposition United National Party (UNP) to unite and form a strong opposition for the country.
Addressing Parliament yesterday evening, the President said the opposition was currently weak.
He called on UNPers to accept the constitutionally appointed party leader and unite. The President also said the UNP should get closer to the people and work towards the benefit of the country rather than working “to please the international community”.
He has said that instead of holding signs and protesting against the budget, the UNP could help by making alternative proposals for the government to consider. Meanwhile, Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne vowed to protect the UNP Leader and its party headquarters at Sirikotha, which was recently attacked.
Referring to comments made by UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe that his life and party were under threat, the Premier said the government would help the party.
Mr. Jayaratne said the UNP headquarters would be protected after the required renovations and money will be allocated from the Presidential Fund to assist the wounded.
“Let’s protect the UNP,” Jayaratne said.


R Raja approached the court against the decision taken by the Jawaharlal Institute of Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Pondicherry. It is a medical college under the direct administration of the Union Ministry of Health.
The verdict was delivered by a bench comprising Chief Justice SV Gangapurwala and Justice Bharat Chakraborty.
A petition filed by the students against the announcement of a holiday by the Maharashtra government was also rejected. The court also said that there was political interest behind the petition. Four law students approached the court. The court also said that students should spend their time creatively.
The petitioners have alleged that the Maharashtra government has declared a holiday on Ayodhya’s holy day ahead of the parliamentary elections. The petitioners said that this is abuse of power for political purposes. But the court clarified that the policy matters of the government do not come under the purview of the judiciary. The court also criticized the fact that the media came to know about the plea before it reached the court.

Algeria's Sonatrach signs MoU with Statoil, BP to boost cooperation
(MENAFN) A memorandum of understanding to boost ties was confirmed to have been signed by Algerian oil and gas company Sonatrach with the UK's BP and Norway's Statoil.
The MoU appears as part of Sonatrach efforts to strengthen relations with oil giants that began ten months ago when its chief executive position was awarded to Abdelmoumen Ould Kaddour.
The new chief executive has already found resolutions to a number of clashes with international companies, such as rows with Spanish Saipem, Italian Eni and French Total.
The objective behind the MoU is also believed to be pushing further investment and technology to come towards Sonatrach, driving stagnant output boost in oil and gas.

N. Korea apparently conducts nuke test: Seoul
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) TOKYO, Sept 3 (KUNA) -- North Korea seems to have carried out a nuclear test Sunday, South Korea's military said, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The 5.7 magnitude "artificial earthquake" that occurred in the Punggye-ri area at around 12:29 p.m. (0329 GMT) is "presumed" to be from the North's sixth nuclear test, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced.
The JCS said all South Korean troops have been put on high alert, with the North scheduled to commemorate its founding anniversary later this week.
"(We) are closely monitoring the North Korean military's move under South Korea-US coordination," the JCS said. Hours earlier, North Korea claimed that it has developed a hydrogen bomb that can be loaded into a new intercontinental ballistic missile.
The North conducted its first underground nuclear test in 2006 and carried out four others, including two last year, at the Punggye-ri site in the northeastern province. The previous explosion a year ago, presumably with a yield of 10 kilotons, triggered a 5.04 magnitude earthquake. (end).

Seoul, Dec 6 (IANS) North Korea's military said on Tuesday that it has ordered artillery firing into the sea in response to live-fire drills between South Korea and the US near the inter-Korean border.
The General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it detected the South Korean military's firing of artillery from multiple rocket launchers and howitzers in frontline areas from around 9.15 a.m. following similar military actions on Monday, according to a statement carried by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
'We immediately ordered frontline artillery units to launch artillery firing into the sea to issue a strong warning,' Yonhap News Agency quoted a KPA General Staff spokesperson as saying in the KCNA statement.
The official called on the South to immediately stop 'provocative' military actions.
The North appears to be referring to live-fire drills being conducted between South Korea and the US at border units in Cheorwon County, 71 km northeast of Seoul.
The warning shots came a day after North Korea fired some 130 artillery shells into eastern and western maritime 'buffer zones' to protest the allies' live-fire exercise.

SOMERSET — The Somerset Police Department has started a new initiative to track down suspects called "Wanted Wednesday" in which social media will be used to help find those who have allegedly violated the law.
Police Chief George McNeil said photographs and information about two or three suspects will be put on Facebook and Twitter every Wednesday in the hopes that someone will see them and can help the police with the whereabouts of the people they are looking for.
It did not take long for the new initiative to yield results. The day after the department's first Wanted Wednesday last week, one of the suspects was arrested by the State Police Fugitive Unit.on warrants that had charges of sexual conduct for a fee, assault and battery, larceny and shoplifting, Chief McNeil said.
Chief McNeil said that after the photograph and information was put on social media about the woman, the Somerset Police Department received a lot of tips about her whereabouts and a few private messages were sent through Facebook. He said the post had 201 likes on Facebook, reached 16,454 people and 142 people shared the post.
"It's a novel idea way to have the community help us find people who are wanted by the courts, by police, by probation," Chief McNeil said of Wanted Wednesday.
McNeil said the people who will be posted on the social media on Wednesdays will be suspects that have a last known address in Somerset, but he said the exact address will not be given.
Chief McNeil said the Yarmouth Police Department has been using a similar approach to find suspects and he said he is friendly with the police chief in that town who told him about it.
"He said it worked well for them and we tried it, and so far, so good," Chief McNeil said.
Chief McNeil said the suspects that will be posted on social media will have multiple warrants for their arrest.
"I got a lot of compliments on it," Chief McNeil said of Wanted Wednesday. "A lot of people thought it was a great idea."

Pakistan’s renowned screenwriter, host, satirist and comedian Anwar Maqsood on Sunday dismissed reports that he was abducted, tortured and threatened by unidentified people a few days ago.
In recent times, such news has been circulating on social media, in which it has been claimed that Maqsood was kidnapped a few days ago. He was threatened, tortured and slapped to prevent him from speaking out against the current government and its “supporters”.
Responding to the reports, Maqsood said, “The news going on about me on social media is baseless.”
Terming it as “fake news”, Maqsood asked his fans to ignore the “baseless” claims.
He said, “I neither have any account on social media nor do I look at social media.”
Maqsood also said that people were informing him about the report through telephone calls.
The renowned screenwriter said, “I not only refute all such news but also condemn those who spread such news without verification.”

PM says water crisis could worsen, wants more money allocated for trucking
Prime Minister Andrew Holness has told Parliament that the corporate area water woes could worsen as inflows to the National Water Commission (NWC) systems continue to decline.
Updating Parliament on the crisis a short while ago, Holness said, now is the time to conserve.
According to him, the NWC's capacity is 63 million gallons per day but only 37 million gallons are available.
This means the daily shortfall is roughly 26 million gallons.
In the meantime, Holness said the government has had "serious" discussions with the NWC to ensure that consumers are updated on water restrictions.
"Even though we have limited water, we have to move the water around so that everybody gets," he said.
"This is a crisis that is going to require all efforts," the Prime Minister said.
He said some $100 million has been allocated for the trucking of water but told the Finance Minister Dr Nigel Clarke that the figure will have to be reviewed.
Holness also said about 500 water tanks have already been distributed by the government and the efforts will continue.
In the meantime, the Prime Minister said the plan for meeting the future water needs include major upgrade of the transmission system and the construction of a 15-million-gallon water treatment plant on the Rio Cobre in St Catherine.
Holness also said the Government will have to find US$160 million to upgrade some water distribution systems in the corporate area.
Opposition Leader Dr Peter Phillips has urged the government to consider reintroducing the Rapid Response programme to address the emergency.


DTA president McHenry Venaani says the regional council and local authority elections will be a contest primarily between his party and Swapo.
He made the remark while addressing a well-attended party rally at Keetmanshoop on Saturday. A fired-up Venaani said the real battle in the upcoming elections will be between the DTA and Swapo, as apparently the other parties are there merely as a formality. “This election is between Swapo and the DTA, the rest of the parties are wasting their time,” he said.
Venaani further stressed that the DTA – the official opposition party – is the only party that can challenge the ruling Swapo Party and remains the only other rational option for the voters.
“All the other parties are dying. Nambinga can say what he wants, RDP is dead, CoD is dead,” he said on the state of affairs among other previously strong opposition parties, whose fortunes seem to be waning.
The DTA leader also called on the government to declare a state of emergency and accelerate drought aid, saying farmers that have sold their livestock are yet to receive their incentives, which are aimed at helping farmers cope with the drought situation.
He also urged government to develop a sound approach to accelerate the Namibian economy to ensure job creation that will benefit the masses, as opposed to the proposed solidarity tax.
Venaani further said that funds could be generated from other sources for the fight against poverty and not necessarily by taxing people twice, saying: “Solidarity tax should be the last option”.
He also took a swipe at government for appointing governors, saying there is nothing democratic about that, stressing that the appointment of governors was introduced by the Swapo-led government as a way to win votes in the Kunene Region, which is a DTA stronghold. Venaani said it’s not acceptable anymore that the government imposes leaders on the people and called for governors to be elected, instead of appointed.
He also called on DTA members to turn out in numbers and vote for the party’s candidates. He claimed there is progress and development in those areas that his party currently governs.

Apart from the meeting in which Bengal will be among other states to discuss how to tackle the coronavirus in the coming days, there will be a separate meeting on the vaccine.
The Prime Minister will address the vaccine issue with chief ministers of all states, and Banerjee will attend this meeting from Bankura.


Asking elderly to self-isolate is ‘very complicated’, French government says
Issued on: Modified:
Asking older people to self-isolate to protect themselves and help fight the wider Covid-19 pandemic – a proposal put forward by France’s Scientific Council yesterday – seems "very complicated", government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Friday.
"We have to see what it corresponds to and if it is effective," he said on France 2, noting however that the efficacy of such a measure has yet to be shown. He also noted that there is "no country in the world that confines only one generation and not the others.”
Isolating the elderly
These people "are already the most confined people in the country, they already have reduced their interactions. In some cases, they have not seen their children, their grandchildren for a year. So, we have to see what additional steps mean: does it mean not going out shopping...no longer receiving home help? It seems very complicated," Attal said.
Members of the Scientific Council, which guides the government in its management of the epidemic, believe that we should no longer insist on confinement but opt for a "social contract" between generations where the oldest and most fragile would accept to be self-isolated.
Asked about the period during which the 6pm curfew will remain in force, Gabriel Attal said that the measure "has helped stabilise the health situation", that "it is important that it remains in place and continues to be respected".
He said that last week, more than 420,000 checks were carried out on individuals and 10,000 on establishments, giving rise to some 50,000 fines, an increase of 11 percent over the previous week.
The objective is to provoke a "decrease" in the epidemic, which while it hasn’t happened yet is still stable for the moment and “is not massive". But with "the vaccination that continues to be deployed", "we can hope that in the coming weeks and months, we can begin to ease the restrictions," he said.

JANAKPURDHAM, Oct 7: Chief Minister of Province No. 2 Lalbabu Raut has said that budget implementation and operation of the public administration of the Province No. 2 was affected due to lack of cooperation from the federal government.

Mr Dominic Nitiwul, Minister of Defence has revealed that 10,000 national service personnel would be selected to embark on six months of military training as part of their national service next year.
According to him, officials of the National Service Scheme (NSS) have already written to the military to inform them about the exercise.
[contextly_sidebar id=”aoH4ph48rL90LU3rxQM8l93UoftxCa7T”]Mr Nitiwul made the revelation when he spoke to the media after appearing before the Public Account Committee (PAC) over the 2015 Auditor General’s Report.
The PAC is currently holding public sittings on the Report of the Auditor General for the Public Accounts of Ghana for the year ended 31st December, 2015.
Mr Nitiwul also stated that the law to allow service personnel to do military training already existed.
He explained that the National Service Act allows service personnel to do two years of national service and six months of military training.
He said the reason why for a long time the country could not undertake this programme was as a result of lack of capacity.
Mr Nitiwul also noted that the military has given a positive response to the officials of the National Service Scheme that the exercise was feasible.
He said despite some logistical constrains in terms of training facilities, however, this year the government was making available resources to ensure that the training facilities for the Army, Navy and the Air force were rehabilitated to enable them start the exercise.
He said the discipline that came with the military training for the service personnel would be important for the country’s development, adding that this would also instil a bit of nationalism into the people.
Mr Nitiwul also announced that the Anti-Galamsey Taskforce deployed to the various mining areas were working very well.
He rejected claims that members of the taskforce were trigger-happy, saying though there have been skirmishes between the taskforce and some illegal miners which has resulted in some deaths, however these were regrettable incidents.
He said the taskforce were properly trained for the exercise and their operations have been successful in controlling the activities of the illegal miners.
Mr Nitiwul appealed to Ghanaians especially those in mining communities to cooperate with taskforce to ensure that things went smoothly.
He said it was not the intention of the government to stop mining but to put in place proper measures to ensure that mining was done properly.
He said though some people have made suggestions that the number of the taskforce was not enough for the exercise, he however stated that the current figure was doing a good job and that the public must give them time to perform.

Seoul, June 27 (IANS) North Korea's state weather agency issued a heavy rain alert Monday for most of the country's regions this week, as state-controlled media have called for thorough measures to prevent damage from summer downpours.
The State Hydro-Meteorological Administration issued the warning, effective from Monday afternoon through Thursday, in all areas across the nation, except for the northeastern provinces of Ryanggang and North Hamgyong and the northern border city of Rason, Yonhap news agency reported, citing the Korean Central Broadcasting Station.
It added the western provinces of South and North Hwanghae and the city of Kaesong near the inter-Korean border are forecast to see up to 300 millimeters of rain until Thursday.
The previous day, the North's media reported that heavy rains and strong winds had pounded Pyongyang and other western parts of the nation. Heavy rains in the impoverished North often cause huge damage to its agricultural and other sectors largely due to poor drainage, deforestation and dilapidated infrastructure.
This year's summer rainy season is expected to begin this week in the country amid speculation that it may also affect the secretive regime's schedule for another underground nuclear test in the northeastern mountainous area of Punggye-ri.
'(We) need to prevent damages from floods and heavy rain in all sectors of the people's economy and take thorough measures to normalise production,' the country's main newspaper Rodong Sinmun stressed in a front-page editorial.

"As far back as Woodrow Wilson's presidency there were already almost as many members of the national legislature -- 531 -- as there are today. Since the admission to statehood of Hawaii and Alaska in 1959, there have been 535. It is difficult to precisely quantify the increase in the business -- and the busy-ness -- of Congress since then. It is, however, reasonable to assume that the increase is at least fifty-fold. The federal budget has increased much more than that."

BT also said that 20 percent of UK businesses are to support forums, Twitter and blogs to market their business and attract and retain customers. Last year social media hardly featured on small businesses' agenda.
Mick Hegarty, strategy director at BT Business, said: "The small business community has fought bravely to survive the downturn".
"We can also see that now more than ever technology has a critical role to play in the future success of these businesses, helping them to find new customers, market themselves more effectively and reduce costs. Investing in better technology is emerging as a measure of success in the future for many businesses."


We give ourselves a goal and set out to reach it. That’s one way to progress.
We see opportunities and take them up. That’s another way to progress.
We do what we are being asked to do. It’s also a way to progress.
The only way to realize progress is to remain aware of the place we started from, the position we are in now and the goal we aim to achieve.
Progress is relative.
The distance defined by the place we started from to the place we want to reach is the distance of achievement.
Progress is between what we have done until now and what still needs to be done.
And yet, the tension between both will not always be the same.

“Over the years, Texas has fallen farther and father behind on that rate,” Kibbe said. “Even while health care becomes more expensive and the labor market gets more difficult.”
How has the Medicaid rate affected central Texas?

ISLAMABAD: Joint ventures in film, production and broadcast were indispensable and strong mediums to communicate values, cultural moorings and stories of friendship between the people of Poland and Pakistan.
These views were expressed by State Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb, while talking to the Polish Ambassador Piotr Opalinski, who called on her on Thursday.
Both sides reiterated their resolve to further enhance collaboration in the areas mutually beneficial for the people of both the countries.
The minister said that films had been one of the powerful medium in reinforcing cultural values and promoting the language of love, peace and co-existence among the people belonging to different communities, races and cultures.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the policies pursued by the present government had greatly improved the security situation in the country, which had created an enabling environment not only for economic growth but also for revival and expansion in the domestic tourism.
The government was also making strenuous efforts to project art, cultural diversity and heritage of the country with a view to promoting its softer image, she added.
The minister said that the armed forces and law enforcing agencies had made unprecedented sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
Ambassador Piotr Opalinski emphasised the need for formal engagements by signing memorandums of understanding in the field of information and culture and said that culture was one of the powerful and softer tools, which allowed nations to grow and survive.
