(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) A lightweight, above ground rail system, which costs two to three times less to construct than current rail transport systems, could be the next big thing in travel in the UAE.
The driverless Unibus, from Belarus-based engineering company SkyWay (if brought to the UAE), could mean passengers no longer have to waste minutes waiting for the next train or metro.
"Our transport systems can meet a wide range of demands. In the UAE, because the passenger footfall is huge, the Unibus would work as the perfect model for urban transport," Svetlana Voloshyna, deputy head of business projects, told Khaleej Times.
Confirming that it is "in talks" with several transport entities within the country, Voloshyna said the electromechanical system can travel at speeds of up to 150kmph with the energy consumption equal to 2.2 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers.
Compared to current transport facilities here like the Dubai Metro, which serves a good purpose for intercity, commuting passengers, Voloshyna said the Unibus is "lighter and more affordable" and can be easily implemented into a city's infrastructure to allow for emirate to emirate travel.
"The cost to construct 1km length of track and a transport module is two to three times lesser than most current public transport modules. When passengers currently wait minutes for a train, the SkyWay innovation could reach passengers every two seconds," she said.
More than one year ago, SkyWay built the test facility in Belarus for what they call 'string transport' and Voloshyna said it could well become the transport of the future in the UAE.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) ANKARA: The mayor of the Turkish capital of Ankara said on Monday he had approved re-naming a street outside the U.S. Embassy as "Olive Branch", the name Turkey uses for its ongoing military campaign in Syria.
Ankara has been infuriated by Washington's alliance in Syria with forces led by the Kurdish YPG militia, which Turkey is targeting in its offensive.
President Tayyip Erdogan has promised to sweep the militia from Turkey's southern border, a move that could put Turkish troops in confrontation with U.S. forces on the ground in Syria.
"We have signed the necessary proposal to change the name of the Nevzat Tandogan Avenue in front of the U.S. Embassy to 'Olive Branch'. May it go well, may the souls of our saintly martyrs rejoice," Ankara Mayor Mustafa Tuna tweeted.
The proposal will be presented to the municipal parliament later on Monday, he said. It will most likely be approved, just days before U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is due to visit Ankara on Thursday.
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara and the Ankara mayor's office were not immediately available for comment.
According to a poll published on Monday by the Center for American Progress, 83 percent of Turks view the United States unfavourably, and 46 percent think their country should do more to confront it.
Tuna had ordered the re-naming of the street where the United Arab Emirates mission is located to that of the Ottoman former governor of Medina, following a row between the two countries about the state of the holy city under Ottoman rule . (Writing by Ali Kucukgocmen)

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A large car bomb struck the central Syrian city of Homs on Saturday, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens, state media said.
The blast struck the city's Al-Zahraa neighbourhood, where most residents are Alawite, the same sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
Syria's state news agency SANA said eight people were killed and 25 wounded.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave the same death toll but said at least 35 were wounded, "some of them in a critical condition."
The monitoring group said a second blast was heard in the city, but its cause was unclear.
"The explosion was terrifying. Body parts were on the ground... It was one of the biggest explosions to hit Homs," a 28-year-old woman working in a neighbourhood coffee shop told AFP.
"The blast left a huge crater, and people were running in every direction in fear of more explosions," she added.
Provincial governor Talal Barazi said the car had been carrying at least 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of explosives.
The attack comes just three days after hundreds of rebel fighters and civilians were evacuated from the city after a deal with Syria's regime.
The deal, overseen by the United Nations, would see Homs' last rebel-held neighbourhood, Waer, turned over to government forces in exchange for humanitarian aid for besieged residents.
Once known as the "capital" of Syria's revolution, the city will be under the full control of the regime by the end of the January.
The Britain-based Observatory and local activist groups said a UN convoy carrying humanitarian aid was due to enter Waer on Saturday morning, but there was no confirmation from UN representatives in Damascus.
More than 250,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict since it erupted in March 2011.

The report found that small glaciers like the Pizol in the east near Liechtenstein had“practically disappeared” Keystone / Gian Ehrenzeller
Switzerland's glaciers are melting like never before, an academic study released on Wednesday shows, with their ice volume declining by 6% in a“disastrous” 2022 amid rising concerns about global warming and a summer heatwave that swept across Europe.
This content was published on September 28, 2022 - 12:29 September 28, 2022 - 12:29 Reuters/ts
The Swiss Academy of Sciences reports that the shrinkage of ice in glaciers in Switzerland – which has the greatest volume of glaciers of any country in Europe – has topped a previous record retreat nearly a generation ago.
“2022 was a disastrous year for Swiss glaciers: all ice melt records were smashed by the great dearth of snow in winter and continuous heatwaves in summer,” the academy said in a statement, basing its report on data collected by Glamos, the Swiss glacier monitoring network.
The report chronicles in detail the damage across the Swiss Alps. Over six metres of ice melted this year on the Konkordiaplatz summit in the Great Aletsch Glacier in the south, near the Italian border. Small glaciers like Pizol in the east near Liechtenstein, Vadret dal Corvatsch near St Moritz in the southeast, and Schwarzbachfirn in central Switzerland have“practically disappeared”, the team said.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Baku, Azerbaijan, March 10
By Ilkin Shafiyev – Trend:
The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project will help promote regional cooperation and diversify gas import sources of several ADB member countries, Head of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Azerbaijan Office Nariman Mannapbekov said in an interview with Trend and Azernews .
"One of ADB's key mandates is to support the development of regional cooperation among its members, including those with energy security issues. The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project perfectly espouses this mandate, as it will help promote regional cooperation and will help diversify gas import sources of several ADB member countries. We believe that the project can generate additional revenue for the government. This can be used to implement social programs or new measures for economic diversification. It will also provide employment for many people – at least 1,800 permanent jobs are expected upon the project's completion," he said.
To date, the ADB has already approved funds in the amount of $1 billion for the Southern Gas Corridor CJSC.
The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority projects for the EU and provides for the transportation of 10 billion cubic meters of Azerbaijani gas from the Caspian region through Georgia and Turkey to Europe.
At an initial stage, the gas to be produced as part of the Stage 2 of development of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field is considered as the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor projects. Other sources can also connect to this project at a later stage.
As part of the Shah Deniz Stage 2, the gas will be exported to Turkey and European markets by expanding the South Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) and Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).
ADB was founded in 1966 and 67 states are its members. The bank's headquarters is located in Manila, Philippines.
Azerbaijan became an ADB member in 1999. The country's share in the bank's capital is 0.5 percent.

(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) By Easwaran Rutnam
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says Sri Lanka has not made any request for financial support.
IMF's Mission Chief for Sri Lanka Masahiro Nozaki told Daily Mirror in an email that a staff team from the IMF is scheduled to visit Colombo from December 7–20.
Responding to a question posed on the visit, the IMF Mission Chief said that the delegation will be in Colombo to conduct 2021 Article IV consultations with Sri Lanka.
Under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds regular bilateral discussions with all member countries to review economic developments and policies; following approval by IMF Management the IMF's Executive Board discusses a Staff Report based on these discussions.
“The IMF has not received a request for financial support from Sri Lanka recently, but the staff stands ready to discuss options if requested,” Masahiro Nozaki said.
United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe was quoted as telling Parliament this week that Sri Lanka is bound to go for a dialogue with the IMF under section four of the UN Monetary and Financial Conference in December this year.
He had requested the Government to present the details of this dialogue to Parliament saying Parliament has the right to know details of the agreement to be reached. (Courtesy Daily Mirror)

(MENAFN) According to the ZEW Economic Research Institute's latest report on Tuesday, German investor confidence experienced a notable uptick in February. The institute's index measuring confidence in the economy rose to 19.9 points, up from 15.2 points in January, surpassing expectations set by analysts polled by Reuters, who had anticipated a reading of 17.5 points. This positive shift in sentiment suggests a growing optimism among investors regarding Germany's economic prospects.
However, the assessment of the current economic situation in Germany painted a less favorable picture, declining more than anticipated to negative 81.7 points from negative 77.3 points in the previous month. This drop was below the expectations of analysts, who had forecasted a reading of minus 79.0 points. Achim Wambach, the head of the institute, expressed concerns over the state of the German economy, noting that survey participants' assessment of the current economic situation had reached its lowest level since June 2020.
The report comes amidst challenges faced by the German economy, as highlighted by the Federal Statistics Office's announcement last month. The German economy contracted by 0.3 percent in 2023, attributed to ongoing inflationary pressures, elevated energy prices, and subdued foreign demand. These factors continue to pose significant hurdles to Germany's economic recovery and may have contributed to the pessimistic assessment of the current economic situation among investors. Despite the improvement in investor confidence, the data underscores the persisting challenges and uncertainties confronting the German economy in the face of global economic headwinds.

(MENAFN - Newsroom Panama) Returning to her chair in the capital's Vice Mayor's Office - after having served for a few months as governor of the province of Panama - was not without obstacles for journalist and politician Judy Meana.
What should have been an expedited procedure suddenly turned into an absurd power struggle, despite the fact that the official won the position vote by vote, as did the mayor or the councilors.
Still, Meana suffered the humiliation of having to leave before she could enter her office, as the municipal guard prevented her from doing so. The Mayor, with all cordiality, gave trivial explanations. But what is at the bottom, without a doubt, is the process that Meana opened to the mayor of the capital when she was governor, since the official was caught in an alleged violation of quarantine. And that is something that José Luis Fábrega does not forget and does not seem to have any intention of doing so, because, after all, he sees himself as one of the gods of Olympus, where mere mortals cannot reach him, and less someone who , hierarchically, was his subordinate before she was governor.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Bloomberg
South Africa's state-owned port and rail company Transnet SOC Ltd. is gauging interest from developers to rejuvenate a half-century-old building that is also one of Africa's tallest.
The Carlton Centre, which opened in the 1970s and includes a 223-meter (732 feet) high office tower, indoor ice skating rink, shopping center, and a 663-room hotel, is located in the center of Johannesburg. The complex, built by Anglo American Properties Ltd., was designed by the architecture firm and skyscraper specialist Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
Transnet 'wishes to assess the availability of potential property developers, investors, funders, and financiers” for plans to redevelop the property 'as part of its corporate strategy to optimize portfolio returns,” the company said in a statement on Monday.
Transnet bought the landmark in 1999 from Anglo American Properties for 32 million rand ($1.9 million) to use as its headquarters.
The deterioration of the Carlton Centre has been documented in local reports. The abandoned indoor ice rink was found to have car skid marks on its skating surface.
The Carlton Hotel, closed since 1998 after receiving guests including Whitney Houston and Margaret Thatcher, was photographed by a pair of artists on an exchange program that found some areas preserved as a time capsule, according to a 2018 article in the Johannesburg-based Sunday Times.
The sale is in line with efforts by the state to refurbish unused buildings or invite the private sector to take over government properties. Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. is making land available near its coal-fired plants to investors for renewable electricity generation.
Applications regarding Transnet's request for information are due August 31.

The talks centered around the fraught situation in Ukraine, with the US accusing Russia of threatening behaviour by increasing troops on the border. Russia, for its part, accused the US and western European countries of undermining its national security by interfering in Ukraine's affairs.
“The conversation was difficult, but very professional, profound and concrete,” said Ryabkov on Monday evening.“I would say: no, we have not been able to improve the situation.”
Sherman said the discussions had been“open and direct” but neither side had been prepared to move from their previous positions. She said that Ukraine must be allowed to join NATO should it wish.
“This week, Russia will hear a unified message from the United States and our allies and partners that it is up to Russia to de-escalate tensions so that we have a real chance of finding diplomatic solutions.”
The Geneva talks will be followed by a Russia-NATO meeting in Brussels on Wednesday and one in Vienna on Thursday of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), of which Ukraine is also a member.
Both sides had dampened expectations in the run-up to the meetingExternal link , with the US calling for Moscow to de-escalate on Ukraine and Russia saying it will make“no concessions”. A US government spokesperson told the press that no firm commitments should be expected from the exploratory talks.

(MENAFN- QNA) The second residential session for the 2014-15 WISE Learners' Voice Program, which kicked off on June 1 in Madrid will conclude on Friday.
Part of a year-long executive education program, the session engages a group of 33 learners, including a number of Qataris, in a series of dynamic workshops on social entrepreneurship and disruptive thinking led by faculty from Babson College in Boston, and the Madrid-based Studio Banana. The WISE Learners' Voice Program is supported by Banco Santander, through Santander Universities, whose headquarters is in Madrid. The first residential session in the 2014-15 WISE Learners' Voice Program took place earlier this year in Doha.
In a key component of the program, the learners form teams to conceive and design grass-roots projects that address critical education challenges. The students collaborate with the Learners' Voice team and visiting faculty to support the development of their projects. This year, the projects address challenges as diverse as accessibility and special needs education to character-building and mobile learning methods.
The program brings the perspectives of young people to the challenge of rethinking education, and equips them to take on leading roles in their fields and in the world of education.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) In June, the volume of gas transit through the Ukrainian gas transmission system reached a historical minimum since 1991, amounting to a mere 1.25 billion cubic meters.
This was reported by the press service of Gas TSO of Ukraine on Friday, July 1, as seen by Ukrinform.
'Against May 2022, the volume of transit through Ukraine dropped by 37%, and in June of the previous year, gas transit volumes were higher by almost three times. Gazprom used only 38% of the reserved capacities (3.29 billion cubic meters) under the long-term contract,' the report says. Read also:

Gazprom continues to refrain from using the reserved and paid capacity at the Sudzha entry point, which is 77.2 million cubic meters per day.
'The Russian monopoly took no advantage of the opportunity to transfer Sokhranovka point's capacities and neither do they participate in capacity reservation auctions,' the press service added.
It is indicated that, together with the restriction of transit through the Nord Stream pipeline, this leads to the 'draining' of the EU gas market and price hikes. In particular, since early June, gas prices in Europe have increased by almost 42%.
Earlier, Minister of Economy and Vice Chancellor of Germany, Robert Habeck called the significant reduction of Russian gas supplies to Europe an 'economic attack' by Putin. Russia, according to Habeck, has weaponized energy, limiting supplies through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, which is the main transit route into Germany. He emphasized that 'such a strategy must not see success.'

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — The Association of Owners of Clearance and Transport Companies has demanded the cancellation of fees on trucks transporting goods between Syria and Jordan at the Jaber border crossing.
The association's president, Daifallah Abu Aqouleh, said that the truck fees have prevented a number of trucks, loaded with goods, from reaching Syria. Other trucks have faced delays in procedures, which have caused“confusion” at the Jaber border crossing and increases in transport costs.
“The memorandum of understanding between Jordan and Syria sets certain fees for truck drivers in both countries, where the equivalent of $150 is paid in each country,” Abu Aqouleh told The Jordan Times on Wednesday over the phone.
He added that when the Jaber border crossing reopened, fees were imposed based on the size and weight of the truck, which posed very high costs for the drivers.
Trucks heading from Syria to Jordan to load goods have to follow certain procedures. For instance, they must not be empty when they leave their country. They must also obtain a permit and pay fees, instead of an entry permit.
Abu Aqouleh said that these procedures are“very complicated”. They require waiting at the Jaber border crossing for several days to obtain the permit from the Transport Ministry.
He called on the Jordanian and Syrian authorities to implement“clear mechanisms“, ease procedures, cancel fees imposed on trucks, and reimplement the memorandum of understanding (MoU) and previous agreements between the countries. He noted that only a part of the MoU is now actually implemented.
He stressed that the continuation of fees and procedures would reduce the trade volume between the countries.
“The application of the previous agreements would facilitate and enhance the trade volume between the countries. This was applied for a long time and there were no objections or complaints from both sides in the past,” he added.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Another outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Ukraine is expected to start in late January, peak in February and last until April, according to Ihor Kuzin, Deputy Minister of Health and Chief State Sanitary Doctor.
He stated this in an interview with BBC News Ukraine , Ukrinform reports.
'According to our forecasts, another outbreak will start at the end of January. There will be more Omicron cases at this time. The cases will peak in February and gradually decline until April,' Kuzin said.

Regarding the COVID-19 mortality rate, Kuzin said it would depend on the number of vaccinations. 'According to scientific research, vaccination protects against severe disease and death.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov in an interview with cbc , an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

(MENAFN – IANS)
San Francisco, June 25 (IANS) Hinting an expansion of its podcast footprint, Amazon has announced that it is acquiring a major podcast hosting and monetisation platform Art19.
The company didn”t disclose the price of the deal, but it did say the acquisition will allow Amazon to “expand our offerings and even better serve your podcasting needs”.
In addition to hosting podcasts, Art19 also operates an ad marketplace that allows for companies to target and place ads within shows, AppleInsider reported.
The acquisition could allow Amazon to host podcasts and sell ads against them.
The move hints that Amazon is getting more serious about bringing podcasts to its platforms.
It first offered podcasts on Amazon Music in September 2020. Later that year, the company announced that it had acquired Wondery, a startup behind many popular podcasts, such as “The Shrink Next Door” and “Dirty John.”
Amazon appears to be on a similar trajectory as competitors like Apple and Spotify.
Back in 2019, Spotify acquired podcast production studio Gimlet and podcasting tool platform Anchor. In 2020, it acquired Megaphone, an Art19 competitor.
Apple was once a clear market leader in the podcasting industry but has since lost ground to Spotify and other rivals.
Market forecasts suggest that Spotify’s podcast offerings could overtake Apple Podcasts by the end of 2021.
However, the Cupertino tech giant in 2021 launched a premium podcast subscription service allowing listeners to directly support content creators.
Spotify eventually followed suit with its own podcast subscription platform.
