São Paulo – Brazil has regulated the use of drones in the agribusiness. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) published on Friday (24) in the Federal Gazette an ordinance establishing rules for operating remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs), or drones, in the application of pesticides and the like, adjuvants, fertilizers, inoculants, improvers and seeds.
MAPA reported that the goal is streamlining procedures and adapting legal requirements to the specificities of the technology, as it differs in several aspects from manned aircrafts. For example, the regulation provides that those working with drones make an automated registration with MPA and have a professional trained with a specific course referred to as an aerial applicator. In some cases, a technical manager such as a forest or agronomic engineer is required to coordinate activities.

Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azim Mattoo – File Photo
Srinagar- Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) Mayor Junaid Azim Mattu has alleged that some corporators were involved in corruption and taking bribes to facilitate illegal constructions in the city.
“Lakhs of rupees in bribes have been found to be deposited electronically into the bank account of an elected representative in SMC over the course of the last two years.
The amount is roughly 1.4 crores with individual transactions running into lakhs,” Mattu said in a series of tweets late on Tuesday.
He said multiple witnesses have come forward, narrating“horrific tales” of extortion and brazen corruption. Three citizens have recorded statements before the officials in this regard, he added.
“A @JKACB investigation is underway and the @JmuKmrPolice Crime Branch and @SrinagarPolice has also taken cognizance,” Matu said
He said the matter has been officially brought to the notice of the administration, seeking removal of the elected representative from a position of authority immediately, pending the final outcome of the investigation.
“Multiple witness statements have been recorded in the presence of Commissioner SMC, Srinagar Police officials and representatives of investigative agencies over the last two weeks. Documents and details sought from SMC have been promptly submitted to @JKACB – as sought,” he said.
The Mayor said a“symbiotic eco-system that has thrived on corruption, forgery and extortion” is trying to distract attention from the investigation.
“That won't happen. There will be absolutely no compromise on corruption. The law will take its toll!” he said.
Mattu said he would prefer the dissolution of the corporation and fresh elections than suppress the“scam”.
“And let this be a one-time, LOUD and CLEAR message to those two-bit, lumpen elements trying to pressurize me into suppressing this scam it is FAR better for me to seek the dissolution of SMC and fresh elections than to compromise with corruption and extortion,” he said. Mattu,, however, did not name any corporator.
The elections to the SMC are due next year.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a meeting with the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan on Monday to prevent the rupee's uncontrolled fall in the aftermath of diminishing foreign reserves and inflows taking longer than planned to sustain the exchange rate.
According to a report published by Dawn on Monday, the dollar was valued at Rs 182.3 when the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), aka PML-N-led, coalition government assumed power on April 11, and the currency has lost Rs 11.4 or 6.2 per cent of its value since then.
Malik Bostan, the chairman of Environment Consultants Association of Pakistan (ECAP), told the prime minister,“It is the open market or exchange companies that increase the dollar rates. In fact, the commercial banks have been increasing the rate,” at the meeting.
Due to the unstable exchange rate, importers are opening more Letter of Credits, while exporters are submitting fewer export revenues, resulting in a dollar shortfall, he added.
Representatives of exchange companies advocated banning all imports save essential items in a previous meeting with the financial adviser last Saturday. Experts and researchers have stated in their studies that attempting to repeat the past mechanism to lower dollar prices would be harmful to the economy.
According to the head of research, the currency rate should be determined by market forces, and the government should avoid using any artificial mechanisms to boost the rupee's value.
During the conference, it was also suggested that all markets around the country be shut down before sundown, saving a significant amount of energy, lowering the import oil bill, and restoring supply to the public, according to Dawn.
Pakistan is expecting a loan from the International Monetary Fund, a $2.3 billion rollover from China, and assistance from Saudi Arabia. However, due to the Pakistan's weak external accounts, the prospect of raising dollars from the foreign market through the issuance of Sukuk bonds is failing.
Oil import bills have already risen as a result of higher oil prices, while overall imports have also reached new highs. In July, Pakistani inflation surpassed the single-digit for the first time in over six years.

The Suhail star is expected to be seen over the southeastern horizon in the UAE and central Arabia, starting from the dawn of August 24, according to a UAE astronomer.
The Suhail star (or the Canopus) is the most-anticipated star in the Arab world because according to the folklore it finally signals the end of summer and the gradual beginning of cooler days in the desert.
During this period, temperatures begin to fall from this date, because of the Earth's distance from the sun, after hitting highs of 50°C in some parts of the region.
Ibrahim Al Jarwan, member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, said on Twitter that the Suhail star marks a shift in weather and many people in the Arabian Gulf wait for the appearance of this giant star.
“The emergence of the Suhail star coincides with mild weather and low temperatures with high humidity southeasterly winds blowing, forming low clouds along the eastern slopes of Hajar Mountains in Oman and the UAE, which may be accompanied by drizzle,” he said.
He explained that since the ancient times, people of the Arabian Peninsula had keen interest in looking at the stars because they are related to their daily life at night and during the day.
“People learn through the starts, the start of the seasons of the year, the times of rain, and the period of hot and cold weather,” said Al Jarwan.
In the UAE, Emiratis believe that the appearance of Suhail is a harbinger of abundance and everything good.
UAE people from the past based their fishing, pearl hunting, and farming activities on the rise of the Suhail star.

Chennai, June 9 (IANS) The Core Banking System (CBS) of a bank should be configured in such a way that the bank staff are able to inform the family members of deceased account holders about the existence of an insurance policy, said a top leader of All India Bank Employees' Association (AIBEA).
In a letter to Sunil Mehta, Chief Executive, Indian Banks' Association (IBA) C.H.Venkatachalam, General Secretary, AIBEA said: "You are aware that the Government's Schemes - Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana are being extended to the account holders of the Banks."
Banks do auto debit from the accounts of the account-holders towards the premium payable for these policies.
Under these policies, the family of the victims are eligible to claim the insurance Aamount in case of death, or death due to accidents or even loss of limbs in such accidents.
"Since separate Insurance Policies are not being issued to the account holder who are members of these Schemes, the family members are mostly unaware that the deceased person had subscribed to these Insurance Schemes and hence are eligible to claim the insured amount. Hence these benefits will remain unclaimed," Venkatachalam said.
Venkatachalam urged Mehta to have the banks put in place a system whereby a special alert can be made available in the Bank account in the CBS system so that when the nominee/family of the deceasedAperson comes to the bank to wind up the account or to delete their namesAfrom the joint account, the alert would help the Branch staff to inform the nominee/ claimants about the existence of an insurance policy.
This will enable the nominee/legal heir to initiate the process to claim the insurance amount, Venkatachalam added.

Baikonur (Kazakhstan): A US astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS) yesterday on a Russian-operated flight, in a rare instance of co-operation between Moscow and Washington.
The Russian space agency Roscosmos and Nasa both distributed live footage of the launch from Kazakhstan and commentators speaking over the feed said it was stable and that“the crew is feeling well”.
Nasa's Frank Rubio and Russia's Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin make up the crew that launched from the Russia-leased Baikonur cosmodrome at 1354 GMT.
Rubio is the first US astronaut to travel to the ISS on a Russian Soyuz rocket since President Vladimir Putin sent troops into pro-Western Ukraine on February 24.
In response, Western capitals including Washington have hit Moscow with unprecedented sanctions and bilateral ties have sunk to new lows.
Space remained an outlier of cooperation between the two countries.
Russia's only active female cosmonaut Anna Kikina is expected to travel to the orbital station in early October aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon.
She will become only the fifth professional woman cosmonaut from Russia or the Soviet Union to fly to space, and the first Russian to fly aboard a spacecraft of SpaceX, the company of billionaire Elon Musk.
Russian cosmonauts and Western astronauts have sought to steer clear of the conflict that is raging back on Earth, especially when in orbit together.
A collaboration among the United States, Canada, Japan, the European Space Agency and Russia, the ISS is split into two sections: the US Orbital Segment, and the Russian Orbital Segment.
At present, the ISS depends on a Russian propulsion system to maintain its orbit, about 250 miles above sea level, with the US segment responsible for electricity and life support systems.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — The Committee of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Tuesday organised a conference titled 'ASEAN and the Middle East: Trajectories for future relations' in Amman, in collaboration with the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy (JID) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The lecture was delivered by Philips Jusario Vermonte, executive director of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies Jakarta and expert in political science, and conducted by JID Director Lina Arafat and Indonesian Ambassador Andy Rachmianto.
The event, aimed at enhancing the mutual understanding about the geo-political and geo-economic situation in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, was attended by several government officials, ambassadors, businesspeople, scholars and stakeholders.
During the lecture, Vermonte noted that the Middle East and Southeast Asia share a common ground in their religious beliefs, and highlighted the importance of maintaining internal and regional peace and security, and the richness in people-to-people relationships.
The expert also pointed out that countries in both regions have established several cooperations related to security and the fight against terrorism, including the exchange of defence equipment and expertise.
'On the economic side, the trade cooperation between ASEAN and the Middle East has been long established through a multi-commodity, trade-based economy and the food for oil trade framework, as well as the expanded cooperation between the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League with ASEAN,' Vermonte said.
'But the economic cooperation can only be strengthened if there are strong practical needs and political will,' the expert continued, noting that Jordan 'showed a friendly gesture towards the cooperation with ASEAN countries by appointing its ambassador to ASEAN in 2015'.
However, Vermonte criticised the fact that only Morocco and Egypt have signed the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, pointing out that this agreement is 'fundamental' to all ASEAN countries.

(MENAFN) Demonstrators conflicted with Israeli law enforcement outside Premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in Jerusalem on Tuesday`s late hours as they asked for him to resign his position, based on press statements.
Thousands of protestors assembled outside the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, to voice their anger at Netanyahu’s misconduct of the conflict in Gaza, which has till now murdered almost 33,000 humans. They were asking for the freeing of captives as well as instant elections.
The protest started with a sequence of addresses given by family members of captives being detained by Hamas in Gaza, also anti-administration activists, as well as previous premier Ehud Barak – a vocal critic of Netanyahu.
The third day of a four-day anti-administration protest speedily inclined into mess as demonstrators carrying torches spread through residential areas in Jerusalem, going to the Premier`s house. Thousands of protestors filled the raods of the rich Rehavia residential area, where the Netanyahus reside, yelling slogans as well as requesting he quitting. Some protestors allegedly attempted to rip away barriers outside, based on regional press.
Pictures of the happening displayed law enforcement charging into the masses to prevent them from breaking through, also using water cannons to scatter demonstrators, many of whom held Israeli flags. Israeli law enforcement depicted this phase of the protest an “unbridled riot.”

The Israeli navy yesterday attacked Palestinian fishermen offshore Rafah city in the southern besieged Gaza Strip.
According to Palestine News Agency, Israeli navy ships fired heavy machine gunfire at and surrounded three Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Rafah, forcing the fishermen to flee for their safety.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers stationed along Gaza's northern frontier, north of Beit Hanoun town, fired many live rounds at Palestinian farmlands near a landfill, causing property damage.
No casualties were reported though.
Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave's infrastructure.
Gaza's 2-million population remains under“remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace. Meanwhile, Israel upholds very few of its responsibilities as the occupying power, failing to provide for the basic needs of Palestinian civilians living in the territory.
Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza is a refugee from lands inside what is now Israel. That government forbids them from exercising their right to return as enshrined in international law because they are not Jews.

According to the prime minister, Ukraine needs to help until the end of the war, and that is why he found, after consultations with President Klaus Iohannis, an option to license export-import of Ukrainian grain.
"But we did not go for the ban because it would be a signal that we would send to the democratic world that we do not want to help Ukraine. And this is not true and very wrong. This is not a war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. This is not a war between Putin and Zelensky. This is a war between a dictator and the democratic world," Ciolacu emphasized.

(MENAFN- The Conversation) One of the key findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) synthesis report is that there are solutions available right now, across all sectors of the economy, that could at least halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
“The problem is getting worse,” explains Greg Nemet, a Canadian renewable policy expert and IPCC author.“But we've got solutions now that are so much more affordable than they were.”
After studying advances in solar technology, which has seen rapid expansion and price reductions, he's optimistic about our capacity to avert the worst possible climate outcomes.
In this week's episode of our climate podcast Fear and Wonder, we speak to Greg about the pace of change in the solar industry and whether it can be replicated for other technologies.

Gurugram, Apr 22 (KNN) Garment Exporters & Manufacturers Association (GEMA) has appealed Prime Minister Narendra Modi that government should pay wages for workers engaged in the sector for April and May as the community is battling to deal with the lockdown due to Covid-19.

'We humbly wish to inform that we are not in a position to pay wages for the months of April and May despite our best intention," said GEMA president Vijay Jindal.
'We request the government to come forward and stand by the apparel export industry to pay wages for workers for the months of April and May," he added.

'Even the apparel manufactured against the order are also lying in the factories because of the ban on movement/transport. The situation has become grave as they have yet not got any receipt of payment from the buyers,' he added.
Jindal feared that the recent advisory of the government that wages must be paid by employers even during the lockdown period will push the apparel industry deeper into the crisis. The garment exporters somehow managed to pay full wages in March, but can't afford to pay the wages for the month of April.
'The government should pay wages from the funds available in the Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana (ABVKY) Scheme, which has, "as understood, huge reserves, he suggested
ESI and labour Funds can also be used to pay the wages for Employees covered under these schemes, he said.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times)
Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe should be 'significant' in the next five to seven years, according to HE the Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida al-Kaabi.
In an interview to the Energy Intelligence, he highlighted that production from the Golden Pass LNG project in the US, where QatarEnergy partners with Exxon Mobil, is due on stream in 2024 and is 'already earmarked for Europe.”
'There is not much Qatar can do to alleviate Europe's gas crisis in the short term due to contractual commitments, but further out, in five to seven years, new Qatari LNG exports to Europe should be significant,' he said.
'I think 10-15-year deals are probably what are most acceptable to both sides. But for us, the long-term deal, it's not just about duration, it's about price,” he said with regard to contract durations with the prospective customers.
On attracting foreign investors to the country's North Field expansion, he said an investment in Qatar is really an important downside-risk revenue maker” for partners.
The $29bn North Field East (NFE) expansion, the single largest project in the history of global LNG industry, has seen QatarEnergy joining hands with four global energy companies – TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Eni and ConocoPhillips.
The four partners of QatarEnergy in the prestigious project were chosen through a competitive process that started in 2019, which will expand Qatar's LNG export capacity from the current 77mn tonnes per year (tpy) to 110mn tpy by 2026.
The multi-billion dollar North Field expansion, the largest LNG development in global history, will generate substantial revenues for Qatar and hugely contribute to the country's GDP, al-Kaabi noted.
'From an overall value chain, Qatari LNG will be the least carbon footprint LNG you can get,” he said, adding 'we think that our buyers, and our investors that have joined us in [North Field East expansion], see this as the Rolls-Royce of projects', he told the Energy Intelligence.
QatarEnergy had last year unveiled its Sustainability Strategy, which establishes several targets in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. It mandates the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage facilities to capture more than 7mn tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum in Qatar.
The strategy also sets a direction towards cutting down the emissions intensity of the country's LNG facilities by 25% and of its upstream facilities by at least 15%, while also reducing flare intensity across upstream facilities by over 75%.

(MENAFN- Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA))
São Paulo – Saudi Arabia has lifted the ban on beef imports from five beef plants in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) told ANBA. The clearance came into force on Thursday (16), the Ministry said.
The Ministry reported that Saudi Arabia had announced the ban on September 6 following an atypical case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease, in the state. But ten days later the ban was lifted, Saudi health authorities told MAPA.
Earlier this month, the ministry detected two atypical cases of mad cow disease, one in the state of Mato Grosso and the other in Minas Gerais. The Ministry released a press statement explaining that the atypical cases occur spontaneously and sporadically and are unrelated to the ingestion of contaminated food and pose no risk to human or animal health. There have never been any records of classic mad cow diseases in Brazil, MAPA said.
According to Brazilian beef exporting group Abiec, Saudi Arabia was the ninth largest international destination of beef from Brazil year to date through August. The country purchased 25,400 tonnes for USD 117 million. Egypt and the United Arab Emirates buy even larger volumes from Brazil, but, when asked by ANBA on suspensions from other Arab countries, MAPA reported none besides the Saudi ban.

Foreign Minister Ali Sabry has defended the decision to allow his son to attend meetings at the UN as part of the Sri Lanka delegation.
Issuing a statement, the Foreign Minister said that in addition to his responsibilities in assisting President Ranil Wickremesinghe with his high-level engagements, as the Foreign Minister he also maintains a demanding schedule during his visits to the UNGA and Washington D.C.
This itinerary comprises delivering ten interventions and speeches, engaging in three public events, and participating in numerous bilateral and multilateral meetings, he said.
The Foreign Minister said that the extensive workload necessitates thorough research, writing, and meticulous preparations.
“To support Ministers in fulfilling their respective duties, each of us benefits from a Minister's bureau, comprising both paid and voluntary contributors. He has assisted me as a research assistant and a draft writer on an ad hoc, voluntary basis at my request for a period of time,” the Foreign Minister added.
The Foreign Minister said that during the UNGA, as he currently pursues his studies in the United States, his son volunteered to join to contribute his time and expertise for a few days.
“I am pleased to acknowledge that his contributions assisted me in preparing me for these crucial engagements. Importantly, neither the Foreign Ministry nor the Government of Sri Lanka has expended a single rupee on his behalf, either for his involvement in these engagements or at any other time. His contribution has been entirely voluntary, entailing zero cost to the taxpayer,” the Foreign Minister said.
The Foreign Minister said that he firmly believes that the public has every right to seek accountability from their representatives, and he is committed to providing the facts for an informed judgment. (Colombo Gazette)
