(MENAFN) Iran's U20 women's national football team secured a 2-1 victory over Lebanon in a Group A match of the AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup 2024 Qualifiers. Hasti Forouzandeh was the standout performer for the Iranian team, scoring both goals during the game. Despite this win, Maryam Jahan Nejati's squad was unable to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
The Iranian team had a challenging start to the qualifiers, suffering a narrow 3-2 defeat to the hosts, Vietnam, in their opening match. They faced another setback in their second game against Australia, losing 3-0. Despite their best efforts, the team's early defeats proved to be decisive in their bid to progress further in the competition.
Reflecting on the team's performance, Coach Maryam Jahan Nejati expressed her satisfaction with the victory in the final match. However, she acknowledged the team's failure to secure a place in the next stage of the tournament. Jahan Nejati emphasized the importance of more preparatory matches and expressed her hope that the football federation would arrange additional friendly games for the team in the future to aid their development.
The AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup 2024 Qualifiers follow a round-robin format, and the top two teams from each group will earn a spot in the finals of the tournament. These qualifying teams will be joined by Japan, DPR Korea, and South Korea, the top three teams from the 2019 AFC U19 Women's Championship, as well as the host country, Uzbekistan.
The upcoming 2024 AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup is scheduled to be held from March 3 to 16, 2024. The tournament will bring together the best U20 women's national teams from across Asia, competing for the coveted title and a chance to showcase their talent on the international stage.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) Japan appears to be a net gainer from the US-led campaign to“de-risk” high-tech economic relations with China.
On the negative side, the Japanese government said on May 23 that it would restrict exports of advanced semiconductor production equipment. The restrictions, which will take effect on July 23 after a two-month notification period, are likely to have a relatively small impact on Japanese equipment makers – at least in the short run.

(MENAFN) In a surprise move, United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin arrived in Kiev on an unannounced visit, emphasizing Washington's commitment to providing military assistance to Ukraine. The Pentagon issued a statement on Monday, stating that Austin held meetings with Ukrainian leadership to deliver reassurances about continued support. However, despite the visit, no specific details regarding new aid packages for Ukraine were announced.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Austin shared a photo of his arrival at a railway station in Kiev, stating, "I'm here today to deliver an important message – the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine." Later, he revealed that talks were held with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, reaffirming "the United States' steadfast support for Ukraine." Austin also pledged that the US and its allies would address both the Ukrainian forces' "urgent battlefield needs and long-term defense requirements."
Despite the assurances, neither Austin nor the Pentagon disclosed specific commitments regarding new military assistance for Kiev. The focus of discussions, according to the United States Department of Defense, was on ensuring that Ukrainian troops have the necessary "battlefield capabilities" for the upcoming winter and beyond.
The visit comes against the backdrop of concerns raised by the Pentagon two weeks ago, indicating that only approximately USD1 billion remains for military assistance for Ukraine.
Sabrina Singh, the deputy spokeswoman for the Department of Defense, noted that around 95 percent of the allocated funding for Kiev had already been spent. The Pentagon urged Congress to pass a new spending bill for Ukrainian aid to avoid potential rationing of future deliveries. As of now, no such legislation has been adopted.
Austin's surprise visit underscores the delicate balance between the reassurances of continued support for Ukraine and the pressing need for additional funding to meet the country's military requirements. The outcome of ongoing discussions may influence the trajectory of United States-Ukraine relations amid evolving geopolitical dynamics in the region.

(MENAFN - UkrinForm) President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky had a phone conversation with President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili, the Ukrainian president's press service reports.
"The two presidents discussed the escalating security situation in Donbas, emphasizing the dangerous trend towards an increase in the number of ceasefire violations and the number of killed [soldiers]," reads the report .
Zelensky thanked Georgia and personally Salome Zourabichvili for the continued support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. Zourabichvili stressed that Ukraine and Georgia have a historical understanding and support each other in the issue of peace. The presidents emphasized the importance of dialogue and solidarity and discussed practical steps by Ukraine and Georgia in the context of further deepening relations with NATO.

The interlocutors exchanged views on the current security situation in the Black Sea region, in particular in the context of the temporary illegal occupation of the Crimean peninsula.

He expressed hope for Zourabichvili's personal participation in this important event and the active involvement of Georgian partners in the content of the initiative.

Netflix and a number of streaming services will need a license to continue broadcasting in Azerbaijan.
National Television and Radio Council (NTRC) Chairman Ismat Sattarov made the remarks in response to questions whether Oll.tv, Vimeo and other services should receive a broadcasting license in Azerbaijan, and whether they will be obliged to pass registration and open a representative office in Azerbaijan.
Sattarov noted that the activities of these platforms are not regulated by local laws.
“The world has already begun to regulate these platforms, and this is a long process. We are also starting to do this with the draft law 'On the media'. These service platforms will have to obtain a license to operate in Azerbaijan,' he said.
He added that the on-demand streaming provided by the draft law also covers these service platforms. Sattarov also noted that most of these services are currently functioning in Azerbaijan.
The NTRC chairman also commented on the possibility of blocking the service platforms after the adoption of the media bill. He noted that blocking is not the main goal. According to Sattarov, these services participate in the local market and earn money here.
'At least they should have a representative office in Azerbaijan and register as taxpayers. For this reason, the inclusion of these provisions in the bill aims not to block these services in our country, but rather to create a legitimate base in this area and attract these platforms to the Azerbaijani market. This is a stimulating step. We want these service platforms to operate legally in Azerbaijan,' he added.
The new law “On the media” defines the general rules for the organization of media activities, the legal and economic basis of these activities, as well as the receipt, preparation, transmission, production ad distribution of mass information. The document consists of nine chapters and 78 clauses.
The law also puts an end to problems with online media. Although online media have been operating in Azerbaijan for many years, their legal status is recognized for the first time by this law.
The law will also determine the requirements for information published and disseminated in the media, which will be important for increasing the professionalism and social responsibility of journalists.
Additionally, one of the important points of the law concerns the protection of copyrights of information producers and broadcasters.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama)
Shanghai during the months-long lockdown.
283Views 0Comments Posted 25/06/2022 Share
The Chinese city of Shanghai did not register any new covid-19 infections on Saturday for the first time since March, when a strong outbreak linked to the omicron variant broke out that led to a long and severe confinement of its population.
'There were no new confirmed domestic cases of Covid-19 and no new asymptomatic infections in Shanghai on June 24, 2022,' the government of the city of 25 million people said in a statement.
In March, infections began to multiply in the economic capital of the country, which ended up decreeing a severe confinement for two months.
The lockdown, criticized by the population struggling to get food and medical care, was lifted virtually in early June, although the return to normality was hampered by the reinstatement of restrictions in some districts.
Two weeks ago, millions of people were once again temporarily confined as the municipal government launched a mass testing campaign in some areas.
Meanwhile, the capital Beijing closed schools and offices for weeks over another outbreak that authorities say was contained last week.
The municipal education office indicated on Saturday that all elementary and middle school students could return to class starting Monday, although teachers, students, and parents must first undergo a PCR test.
The capital reported just two new infections on Saturday.
For its part, Shenzhen, a large industrial city in the south of the country, announced this Saturday that it will close for three days the wholesale markets, cinemas, and gyms of a downtown district bordering Hong Kong, after in that town detect cases of covid-19.
China is one of the world's largest economies that continues to apply the so-called 'zero covid' strategy to eradicate the virus based on restrictions on international travel, quarantines, massive tests and severe confinements.
authorities insist that the policy is necessary to avoid a collapse of the health care system due to the unequal distribution of medical resources and the low vaccination rates of the elderly.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) AFP
Seoul: North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile on Sunday, Seoul's military said, the fourth show of force in a week as South Korea and the United States stage major military drills.
Seoul and Washington have ramped up defence cooperation in the face of growing military and nuclear threats from the North, which has conducted a series of increasingly provocative banned weapons tests in recent months.
South Korea and the United States are in the middle of 11 days of joint drills known as Freedom Shield, their largest in five years.
North Korea views all such exercises as rehearsals for invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take 'overwhelming' action in response.
'Our military detected one short-range ballistic missile fired from around the Tongchang-ri area in North Pyongan province at 11:05 am (0205 GMT) towards the East Sea,' South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.
The missile flew 800 kilometres (500 miles) and was under analysis by US and South Korean intelligence, the JCS said in a statement, calling the launch 'a serious provocation' that violated UN sanctions.
'Our military will maintain a solid readiness posture based on its ability to overwhelmingly respond to any provocation by North Korea, while carrying out intensive and thorough combined exercises and drills,' it said.
Tokyo also confirmed the launch, with deputy defence minister Toshiro Ino telling reporters Japan had 'lodged a vehement protest to and strongly condemned (North Korea) through our embassy in Beijing'.
The US military's Indo-Pacific Command condemned the launch, saying it highlighted 'the destabilising impact' of North Korea's banned weapons programmes.
South Korea's defence ministry said hours after the launch it had staged joint air drills with the United States featuring at least one US B-1B long-range bomber.
The drills also involved South Korean F-35A stealth fighter jets and US F-16 fighters and took place as part of the Freedom Shield exercise. The exercise had 'greatly enhanced the allies' interoperability... and wartime capabilities', the ministry said in a statement.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Sri Lanka's key inflation rate eased to 50.3 per cent in March from 50.6 per cent in February, the statistics department said on Friday.
The Colombo Consumer Price Index (CCPI) reflected a reduction in food inflation to 47.6 per cent in March from 54.4 per cent in February, but non-food inflation reached 51.7 per cent, the Census and Statistics Department said in a statement.
Sri Lanka has been struggling with soaring prices for over a year, largely caused by its worst financial crisis since it gained independence from Britain in 1948.
The CCPI acts as a lead indicator for broader national prices and shows how inflation is evolving in Colombo, Sri Lanka's biggest city.
Inflation for March was also impacted by a massive 66 per cent power tariff hike in February, analysts said, with inflation likely to moderate faster over the next three months.
"We are likely to see inflation dropping to about 16 per cent in the second quarter because of the high base effect," said Dimantha Mathew, head of research for First Capital.
"But single digit inflation will only be seen towards the end of the year."
The island's central bank is widely expected to hold policy rates next Tuesday after a surprise 100 bps hike earlier this month as part of efforts to finalise a $3 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund.
Sri Lanka's national consumer price inflation, which is released with a lag of 21 days every month, increased slightly to 53.6 per cent in February from 53.2 per cent January after the country changed the base year from 2013 to 2021 last month.

(MENAFN - Baystreet.ca) Oil prices have moved above $67 U.S. a barrel, gaining for a fifth consecutive day as signs of economic recoveries in China and the United States fuel stronger demand.
China's first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) rose 18.3% year-over-year, while the U.S. reported a strong rise in retail sales and a drop in unemployment claims.
Brent crude oil responded to the strong economic data by rising 26 cents U.S., or 0.4%, to $67.20 U.S. a barrel, positioning it for a weekly gain of 7%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 16 cents U.S., or 0.3%, to $63.62 U.S. per barrel.
New U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia, one of the world's top oil producers, over alleged election interference and hacking could also support oil prices in the near-term.
Also helping the current oil rally, the International Energy Agency and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) each made upward revisions to their oil demand growth forecasts for 2021.
Figures on Wednesday also showed U.S. crude inventories fell by 5.9 million barrels.
Oil has recovered from pandemic-induced lows seen last year, helped by record cuts to oil output by OPEC and its allies, a group known as OPEC+. Some of the OPEC+ cuts will be eased from May, with the group meeting on April 28th to consider further changes to their supply pact.

Durban, Jan 21 (IANS) Pretoria Capitals ran riot at Kingsmead in the SA20 league as they defeated Durban's Super Giants by eight wickets to earn a bonus point victory to cement the top spot in the standings.
Quinton de Kock won the toss for the Super Giants and chose to bat first at a humid Kingsmead, but things did not go according to the plan for the home team on Friday night.
Capitals skipper Wayne Parnell wasted no time drawing first blood with the opening ball of the innings to dismiss West Indies' Kayle Mayers for a duck. The home side's innings continued to collapse when Wiaan Mulder (5) and De Kock (13) followed Mayers shortly afterwards.
The tournament's leading run-scorer Heinrich Klaasen tried valiantly to keep his team afloat with 31 off 24 balls but had no support with Player of the Match Senuran Muthusamy (3-12), Anrich Nortje (2-15) and Eathan Bosch (2-10) following their skipper Wayne Parnell's (2-12) lead. The Super Giants folded for just 80 in 18.1 overs.
The visitors' chase was dented by the early loss of the in-form Phil Salt off the first ball, but his fellow Englishman Will Jacks steered the Capitals ship with a rapid 56 off just 25 balls (5x4, 4x6). He was supported by Theunis de Bruyn with his undefeated 21.

Abu Dhabi will plant one million mangrove trees in its efforts to achieve the net zero target and also counts on the role of the private sector to meet the target, a senior official said on Wednesday.
“We will be planting one million mangroves trees by 2030 to capture carbon emission as this is a good natural solution,” said Abdulla Al Remeithi, Director - Integrated Environmental Policy and Planning, Environment Agency Abu Dhabi, during the panel discussion at The Journey to Net Zero forum hosted by Khaleej Times.
The forum was sponsored by sustainability partner Accenture, Gold Sponsor Trane Technologies, Silver Sponsor Fugro and supported by Clean Energy Business Council, Middle East Solar Industry and Energy Industries Council Mena. The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy officially endorsed by the forum.
Scientists say that mangroves are powerful carbon sinks as they can store carbon many times more than forests
“Climate change is one of the main risks globally and the UAE was one of the first countries in the Mena region to adopt and sign the Paris Agreement. The UAE was also the first country in the region to commit to net zero. Since the 1970s, our late founders had a target for sustainability. Though terminology has changed but the concept remains the same,” he said.
Al Remeithi said the private sector is also involved in initiatives taken related to net zero.
“We are counting on the private sector because it plays an important role in climate targets and it is a shared responsibility.”
He praised Egypt for their efforts at the Cop27 summit held recently as the country pushed for different agendas. The Cop28 will be held in the UAE next year.

(MENAFN) During Wednesday's trading, natural gas prices in Europe experienced an upward trajectory, registering a 4.4 percent increase in the price of standard futures contracts. Bloomberg News Agency reported on the market dynamics, highlighting meteorological forecasts pointing to abnormal temperature drops in the latter half of the month. This comes despite the current return to moderate weather conditions in the near term.
The recent decline in gas prices to their lowest levels in approximately two months has spurred heightened usage in some power plants. Gas is becoming a more economically viable alternative to coal, prompting a shift known as the "conversion level." At this point, electricity companies transition to using gas instead of coal in their generation plants due to the cost-effectiveness of gas, as noted by analysts at the Energy Scan Research Foundation, affiliated with Engie Energy.
Despite the stabilization in the European energy market attributed to near-record natural gas inventory levels and relatively mild weather, the market remains susceptible to potential disruptions in supply. The region's vulnerability underscores the importance of monitoring supply levels closely, given the potential repercussions on market stability.
In the trading landscape, Dutch gas prices saw a notable 3.6 percent increase, reaching 39.50 euros per megawatt-hour for delivery in the coming month. Simultaneously, British gas prices also rose by 3.2 percent, signaling the ongoing impact of market dynamics on energy prices in the region.

Boris Johnson: Putin warned him with missile attack in pre-war call
(MENAFN) Ukraine is pushing its partners for faster weapons supplies as intense fighting continues in the eastern Donetsk region.
After a weekend of invasions on the cities of Kharkiv and Kherson and current fights around Bakhmut in Donetsk, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Sunday that “Russia hopes to drag out the war, to exhaust our forces. So we have to make time our weapon. We must ... speed up the supply and opening of new necessary weaponry options for Ukraine.”
Ukraine’s partners agreed last week to supply the nation with heavy battle tanks, with Kyiv then pressing for fighter jets as well. One Ukrainian administration advisor was reported saying Saturday that “negotiations” were happening over the chance of sending more aircraft.
Germany’s President Olaf Scholz claimed over the weekend that fighter planes would not be sent to Ukraine, on the other hand, informing a German newspaper that “the question of combat aircraft does not arise at all,” Scholz updated the Tagesspiegel newspaper in an interview published Sunday.

(MENAFN- AFP) US stocks headed about one percent higher in early trade Wednesday, only partly erasing Tuesday's steep losses as worries about China's economy persisted.
About 30 minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 179.59 points (0.99 percent) at 16,237.94.
The broader S&P 500 gained 17.80 (1.12 percent) at 1,931.65, and the Nasdaq Composite added 46.44 (1.00 percent) at 4,682.54.
Volatility remained the theme of the day in global markets, with economists saying China's downturn will hit global economic growth, and with the Federal Reserve's path to an interest rate hike still clouded.
Market players remain concerned about "the possibility of the Federal Reserve making a policy mistake in an environment that is riddled with angst about slowing economic growth, falling earnings estimates, and rising interest rates," said Patrick O'Hare of Briefing.com.
The 30 Dow blue chips were all higher, led by banks, which were heavily sold in Tuesday's rout that saw the overall market down nearly three percent.
JPMorgan Chase gained 1.6 percent, and Goldman Sachs 1.1 percent. Wells Fargo, not included in the Dow, surged 1.9 percent and Bank of America 1.6 percent.
In tech stocks, Apple pushed up 1.9 percent, Comcast 1.7 percent and chip-maker Intel, 1.6 percent.
Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury rose to 2.19 percent from 2.17 percent Tuesday while the 30-year pushed to 2.95 percent from 2.93 percent. Bond prices and yields move inversely.

(MENAFN - ING) Manufacturing bounces, but not as much as hoped
US industrial production for March was softer than expected, rising only 1.4% month-on-month versus the consensus 2.5% prediction. February data was revised down to show a contraction of -2.6% from the initial -2.2% reading. The details show manufacturing rose 2.7% MoM versus expectations of a 3.6% gain while mining rose 5.7% and utilities output fell 11.4% as the weather normalised and the demand for heating fell after a bitterly cold February.
February's bad weather had also heavily impacted supply chains, thereby disrupting manufacturing production processes, so a bounce-back in March manufacturing was always widely expected. The scale of that bounce is a little disappointing though given what manufacturing surveys, such as the ISM release, have been reporting and highlights the negative impact the global semi-conductor chip shortage is having, particularly on auto output.
US manufacturing output and the ISM index
Fundamentals suggest vigorous growth is coming
However, with order books looking full and customer inventory levels at historically low levels according to the Institute for Supply Management, when the semi-conductor position improves the output numbers will grow strongly.
Indeed, payrolls growth was very strong in March, which suggests ongoing optimism in the sector and with the $2tn+ Build Back Better infrastructure investment plan gaining traction this should offer additional opportunities for US manufacturing firms.
Levels of industrial output versus 2007 peak
Commodity prices to continue support mining
Rising commodity prices should also provide support over the next few months with Baker Hughes data showing there were an average of 408 oil and gas rigs working in March, up from 397 in February. Already mid-way through April we are up at 432, suggesting strong output gains in this and coming months.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)
Oil giant Saudi Aramco on Sunday unveiled record profits of $48.4 billion in the second quarter of 2022, after the Ukraine crisis and a post-pandemic surge in demand sent crude prices soaring.
Net income leapt 90 per cent year-on-year for the world's biggest oil producer, which clocked its second straight quarterly record after announcing $39.5 billion for Q1.
'While global market volatility and economic uncertainty remain, events during the first half of this year support our view that ongoing investment in our industry is essential - both to help ensure markets remain well supplied and to facilitate an orderly energy transition,' said Aramco president and CEO Amin H Nasser.
'In fact, we expect oil demand to continue to grow for the rest of the decade, despite downward economic pressures on short-term global forecasts.'
Net income rose 22.7 per cent from Q1 in 'strong market conditions', Aramco said. Half-year profits were $87.9 billion, up from $47.2 billion for the same period of 2021.
Aramco paid an $18.8 billion dividend in Q2 and will disburse the same amount in Q3.
The quarterly profits, the highest since Aramco's flotation in late 2019, beat analyst forecasts of $46.2 billion.
Aramco was priced at 40.8 riyals ($10.9) ahead of the Saudi stock exchange's opening on Sunday.
Aramco floated 1.7 per cent of its shares on the Saudi bourse in December 2019, generating $29.4 billion in the world's biggest initial public offering.

- Asian stocks fall on nagging Fed rate hike worries
Earlier this month, the International Energy Agency said global oil demand would rise more than previously forecast this year as heatwaves and soaring gas prices prompt countries to switch fuels for power generation.
Oil prices have dropped by $30 per barrel from a peak in June due to growing supplies, but remain close to $100.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Ukraine's State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure and the European Investment Bank, the bank of the European Union, have signed an EU grant agreement for over EUR 50 million to support critical infrastructure and build temporary bridges in the affected regions.
Mustafa Nayyem, the head of the agency, announced this on facebook , according to Ukrinform.
"This is a huge contribution to the restoration of logistics in the Ukrainian regions hardest hit by the war, and I am sincerely grateful to our partners for such support. The destruction of road bridges leads to partial or complete isolation of communities. For our team, the restoration of such structures during the war is a primary task for quickly ensuring transport services with the affected settlements," he said.
Nayyem recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 85 temporary bridges have been built to establish transport routes to the affected settlements, including 78 bridges last year, seven this year, and three more currently under construction.
"The temporary structures will help overcome the problems that arose as a result of the Russian attacks, including restoring the access of our citizens to vital humanitarian, medical aid and basic public services," he added.
As many as 346 bridges have been destroyed across Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion of the country in February 2022.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)
Published: Tue 9 Aug 2022, 3:16 PM
Traffic accidents and deaths in Sharjah decreased by a whopping 40 per cent in the first three months of 2022 as compared to last year. Reason: A shift to a shorter working week.
As the rest of the UAE transitioned into a 4.5-day workweek at the beginning of the year, Sharjah adopted a three-day weekend of Friday, Saturday and Sunday for government staff.
A study presented during a meeting of the Sharjah Executive Council on Tuesday highlighted how the shorter work week has boosted productivity and positivity among employees. In addition to a decrease in traffic accidents and casualties, the move also resulted in a significant drop in the emission of gases like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
The new work system contributed to improving the financial performance of government agencies. This came after the study assessed finances and expenses, revenues and other factors.
The shorter workweek also boosted employees' productivity and improved their work quality, efficiency and speed. As a result, customer satisfaction also increased.
The study was based on experiences from the policing, environment, human resources and financial sectors.
The council chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, issued directives to follow up on the study. The aim is to strengthen the positives and develop measures to counter the negatives.

(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
Manama, Rabi'I 21, 1439 H., December 09, 2017, SPA -- The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, affirmed that the security and stability of the region face many serious challenges, particularly the spread of terrorists, whether supported by some countries or sponsored by violent non-governmental organisations in the region.
In his address to the Manama Dialogue at its 13th session, held in the Bahraini capital of Manama today, the Minister added that the coup militias in the Republic of Yemen have refused to play any positive role in the building of Yemen, have turned against the legitimate regime and sought to establish a terrorist state subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which must not be allowed.
He also praised the important role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in providing and facilitating assistance to the affected areas through the Riyadh-based King Salman Centre for Relief and Humanitarian Aid.
The Minister referred to Hezbollah's terrorist activities in the Lebanese Republic, as it provides a model for what might happen if a terrorist organisation takes control of the political decision, where it does not respect Lebanon's laws and customs and does not abide by the will of the Lebanese people but receives its orders from Iran, which he said was the main reason for the continuation of the Syrian crisis.
This is in addition to the smuggling of weapons and explosives and training terrorists to carry out terrorist operations in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Kuwait and other countries. Shaikh Khalid stressed that this party cannot remain in its terrorist practices everywhere without deterrence.
He said that the decisions taken by the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the Arab Republic of Egypt on the boycott of Qatar came after decades of country's practices that targeted the security and stability of their countries as well as attempts to undermine national security and social peace in the Kingdom of Bahrain and overthrow the regime with the assistance of associated parties, in addition to the financing of terrorist operations in other countries.

This Top Dividend Stock Is Trading at 52-Week Lows
Friday was a rough day on the markets after a new COVID variant spooked investors, sending the Dow Jones down more than 900 points to its worst day of the year. But with the selloff come opportunities for investors to buy some quality stocks on the dip.
One healthcare stock to consider is medical device maker Medtronic (NYSE:MDT). Its shares are now trading around 52-week lows as investors worry that a lack of a recovery in the healthcare industry could impact the number of hospital procedures, and thus, demand for Medtronic's devices.
However, the company is still in solid shape. Medtronic released its most recent quarterly results on Nov. 23, reporting sales of $7.8 billion for the period ending Oct. 29. Even though the company says it was negatively impacted by COVID-19 its sales still managed to rise 3% year over year. For longer term investors, it could make for a great recovery stock; CEO Geoff Martha calls the business,“one of the best positioned companies in healthcare” as it launched new products to help fuel its growth.
The company anticipates that for fiscal 2022 (the current fiscal year), its adjusted diluted EPS will come in at around $5.70. That's more than double the $2.52 it pays out in dividends over the course of the year. Its current dividend yield of 2.2%, is above the S&P 500 average of 1.4%.
The stock is down more than 17% over the past three months and now could be an excellent time for dividend investors to load up on Medtronic.
