The state TV headquarters, the international airport and a military base in the city were all targeted.
The information minister said the situation was now under control and about 46 attackers had been killed.

On the government’s side, an army colonel was killed when the attackers struck the military base, Mr Mende told the BBC.
He said he understood that two staff members forced to read a statement on TV were safe.
Reuters said the statement appeared to be a political message against President Kabila’s government.
The embassy has also received reports that there are police and military checkpoints and barricades in many places”

Responding to Fawad Chaudhry statement today, Maryam Aurangzaib said that all the political parties wanted electoral reforms except Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Abdi Maalim, director of county’s health services, said that the Mandera hospital received seven bodies and 13 injured people, four of them in a critical condition.
Witnesses quoted by news reports said that gunshots were heard before the explosion.
Meanwhile, the region’s police chief Bunei Rono said that a suspect was arrested with the help of local citizens.
The vehicle was covering the Arabia-Mandera route and the explosion occurred eight kilometers from the destination, before taking the asphalt road.

The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) has termed the move by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to increase valuation rates of immovable properties as grossly excessive and unacceptable.
“The FBR’s move of new market value for immovable property in 40 major cities is tantamount to stalling the country’s economy and suspending business activities”, RCCI President Nadeem Rauf said in a statement.
He said that the valuation rates have been increased by 100 percent to 600 percent through a Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO). He said that with the proposed increase in taxes and valuation, the registry of Rs. 500,000 will now go up to Rs. 2.5 million.
He lamented that the purchasing power of the common man has already run out due to high inflation and the move will make it impossible to run businesses. He said that RCCI has always called for devising policies in consultation with stakeholders.
Rauf further claimed that FBR’s move is also against the government’s ongoing Naya Pakistan Housing Project. He said that construction material has already become expensive and the prices of cement, bricks and sanitary material have also tripled in one year. With the new SRO, the construction industry will decline, he added.
Requesting the government to take immediate notice of the FBR’s decision, he said that the business community has already been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.
The RCCI president further said that the FBR has taken this step to collect more taxes, however, the ground realities are different. According to the FBR’s own data, first-quarter revenues exceeded the target. In such a scenario, the imposition of new taxes is unrealistic, he said.

“Speaking for the US, we fully expect that the two Presidents will continue to meet on a regular basis as they have done recently. Their meetings have helped to move forward the process of a negotiated settlement. We will also continue to meet with the Foreign Ministers, including at the OSCE ministerial in Basel next month. It is important to keep up the dialogue which took place most recently at the Paris summit”, said James Warlick.


J-K BJP general secretary (organisation) Ashok Kaul and other party leaders were also present in the function held at the party headquarter in Jammu.

Kaul hoped that the new entrants will serve the people besides strengthening the party in the region.

Ministry of Fisheries, Marine Resources, and Agriculture has revealed that it has registered over 10,000 fishermen under the fishermen’s registry as part of its work to develop the fisheries sector.
Director of Fisheries Compliance Ahmed Shifaz said that the ministry is working to register all fishermen in the Maldives. He said that the number of fishermen in the country is estimated to be around 17,000 to 18,000.
Furthermore, Shifaz said that the fishermen’s registry has detailed information on those involved in grouper fisheries and skipjack tuna fishing and that the ministry is working to obtain more information on fishermen through an online portal. He said that the portal can be used to gain information on fishermen working on a small scale in the atolls. He added that anyone whose main income comes from fishing will be considered a fisherman.
Additionally, Shifaz said the ministry is also working with the island councils to obtain information on local fishermen. He said that a system will be in place to keep a permanent record of all the fishermen in the Maldives.


Dozens of Jews have postponed their decision to immigrate to Israel because of the threat of war with Iran, Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky said on Sunday morning.
People who had already finalized the details of their move, even including where they would live, told the Jewish Agency they were halting the planned move until things calmed down, Sharansky told Israel Radio.
“When the nuclear war in the Middle East passes we’ll come,” Sharanksy said one of those who postponed their move recently told him.
The fact that the world now sees Iran as a nuclear threat was an achievement won by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s clear statements about Israel’s willingness to act, Sharansky said.
According to a press release by the Jewish Agency, when speaking to potential immigrants its “representatives are often asked to address various questions and concerns regarding the security situation, including the situation with Iran.”

This is a great post that has helped inform me about some of the news stories that the mainstreet news has covered. I love how the stories are written, and how they are all related to each other.
A great example is this story about a new anti-child pornography law. Here we see how the media has portrayed the new law, which was written to take effect in the summer of 2012, as if it were the next big thing. In reality, the new bill just allows the government to make more arrests and prosecute more offenders. It has a lot of positive effects, but it does come at a price.
The mainstreet news article I read says that the new law may help keep the public safe, but it also allows for the government to arrest more people for child pornography. Of course, that’s not true. The law, in fact, is meant to make the government more effective and efficient and to put more money into the police department. In reality, the new law just gives the government more tools to do its job.
The mainstreet news article also says that the new law will help the police solve more crimes and arrest more offenders, but it also says that it will also help the police to stop more crimes. The article also makes the claim that the new law will increase the chance of a serial killer getting caught.
The article also makes the claim that the new law will increase the chance of a serial killer getting caught. As it turns out, the article is based on a study that found that criminals who are caught by the police are likely to commit more offenses the next year. If that’s true, then the new law will also increase the chances of a serial killer getting caught.
Police said that there are currently no serial killers in the country, but there are people who are highly likely to commit crimes if they are caught. So this new law will not make a difference in the number of crimes being committed by these highly likely serial killers.
The problem is that there are people like this, and that there are many more like them. Our own study of thousands of people found that there is a positive relation between the number of people who have been caught by the police and the likelihood that an individual will commit a crime after his or her arrest.
So if people know that they are extremely likely to commit crimes, they will be more careful in their planning. If the police can track down and arrest more people and arrest more people, they can also arrest more people and arrest more people. As a result, the number of people being arrested will go up.
The reason we have a positive relation is that people who have been caught by police have increased the likelihood of being arrested by people they know and know about. This is what happens when you have a suspect who is known to have committed a crime, but doesn’t know that they are being charged with a crime. It’s not just that the person is caught, it’s that they have a bad handle and a bad luck.
It’s a little bit, but it’s also the reason why people are arrested. Most people who have been arrested by police are not actually arrested by the police. Their arrest is a result of a police officer trying to get rid of their suspect and they have to figure out who exactly they are, and who they are going to go after.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Kuwait has stressed the importance of limiting the hazards of war remnants including unexploded ordnances, Kuwait's Permanent Representative at the UN and International Organizations Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim said.
The official's remarks were made during the ninth meeting of the UN's Protocol V on Explosive Remnants of War (Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons) held in Geneva on Thursday.
Explosives left by war pose great danger on the ecological system around them, said Al-Ghunaim, calling on all countries to thoroughly study the effects on the environment to limit the hazards.
Kuwait, which has joined the convention on 24 May 2013, had started removing the remnants of the Iraqi invasion directly upon the war's end in 1991, said the ambassador, adding that the mines were planted along Kuwait's coast and around its economic bodies and oil facilities.
Meanwhile, he noted that the country faced many challenges in removing these explosives, including the high temperatures in summer that caused many mines to self-explode, the nature of the dessert environment that led the explosives to sink deeper into the sands and the lack of thorough maps on the affected areas.
He also added that the cleaning process cost Kuwait between USD 31,000 to 67,000 per one square klm.
Al-Ghunaim went on to warn against the dangers these remnants pose on the lives and wellbeing of people, as mines had killed or dismembered civilians including children.
Kuwait is providing special care to survivors of unexploded ordnance, including free medical services and physiotherapy, financial aid, social and residency services, education, transportation and specialized workshop for prosthesis, said the ambassador.

OLD What is Farm to ECE?
Farm to early care and education (farm to ECE) has three core elements: local food sourcing, growing food, and learning about food and agriculture.
Farm to ECE furthers the goals and priorities of the early care and education community including emphasis on experiential learning opportunities, parent and community engagement and life-long health and wellness for children, families and caregivers.
Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care and education sites.
Farm to school empowers children and their families to make informed food choices while strengthening the local economy and contributing to vibrant communities.


“Although we were optimistic at the beginning of the year, here we are in October considering what we are going to do about the rating. Our colleagues in Paris are evaluating the situation and we must say that there are concerns [about Romania],” said Ionescu.
He added that the major risks come from Romania's widening current account deficit, which is twice the size of Turkey's, the national currency's depreciation and the reform slowdown. European Union funds might help diminish the current account deficit, but the political instability casts doubt on the authorities' ability to spend them properly, he said. “The political quarrel going on for the past two years does not help improve economic prospects at all,” said Ionescu.

The German government has announced an additional 50 million euros in relief for those affected by the recent earthquake that hit the region. The announcement was made by Chancellor Angela Merkel in a press conference on Monday.
The earthquake, which struck on February 15th, has caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure, and has left many people without basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter. The German government has been providing aid to the affected areas since the earthquake hit, but this additional funding will help to further support the recovery effort.
“The devastation caused by this earthquake is immense, and we are committed to doing all that we can to help those who have been affected.”
The additional funding will be used to provide emergency relief to those who have been impacted by the earthquake, including shelter, food, and medical assistance. It will also be used to support the longer-term recovery effort, including rebuilding homes and infrastructure that have been damaged.
The German government has also called on other countries to support the relief effort. “This is not just a German issue, but an international one,” said Chancellor Merkel. “We must all come together to support those who have been affected by this tragedy.”
The earthquake, which had a magnitude of 6.3, struck in the early hours of February 15th and was felt across a wide area. At least 30 people have been confirmed dead, and hundreds more have been injured.
The relief effort is expected to be ongoing for several months as the affected areas work to recover from the devastation caused by the earthquake. The German government has committed to providing ongoing support throughout the recovery process, and has urged other countries to do the same.

The U.S. is taking a two-pronged approach toward its goal of implementing a worldwide minimum tax for corporations as it progresses through negotiations with a global consortium, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Tuesday. Getting countries around the world to implement a bottom level tax that all companies pay has been a goal the White House has set to stop firms from relocating their home operations to countries with cheaper rates.
A few countries have stated publicly that they endorse the global minimum tax idea, though it remains unpopular in some quarters. U.S. companies have long engaged in ''offshoring'' practices where they establish domiciles in low-tax countries, even though they conduct much of their business domestically. The Trump administration slashed the corporate tax rate to 21%, which President Joe Biden wants to raise to 28%. In addition, the 2017 tax cuts provided incentives for companies to repatriate profits they had stored overseas.
At an appearance earlier in the day, Yellen said the tax cuts did little to spur investment and instead sparked share buybacks and dividend issuance for investors. Yellen said the administration is looking for ways to discourage companies from deducting tax payments they make to tax-haven nations. Ultimately, she said companies will pay more taxes in the U.S., but she said the revenues are necessary to help fund the expansive spending programs on the administration's agenda.
Yellen says U.S. pushing to end global ''race to the bottom'' on corporate taxes, CNBC, May 5

The Lagos State House of Assembly has passed a resolution to transmit a petition from coalition of civil society groups to the Federal Government.
The petition, which was an aftermath of a recently organised National Day of Mourning, will also be transmitted to the National Assembly.
The House made the resolution through a voice vote conducted by the Speaker, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, during plenary on Tuesday in Lagos.
Addressing the house, Mr Sanni Okanlawon, (APC-Kosofe I), said that on Friday, during the public hearing, some protesters, who had declared a day of national mourning diverted the attention of the hearing.
The lawmaker said the rights activists, who were not happy about the insecurity in the country, presented their grievances through a petition to the House.
Okanlawon said the Deputy Speaker, Mr Wasiu Eshilokun-Sanni, addressed them by telling them that the House shared their concerns, apparently to douse the tension.
“Among the coalition’s requests was that the government at the centre should double its efforts to bring peace to the country.
“Also, the protesters urged the House of Assembly to help them call the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state of insecurity in the country,” he said.

The speaker also commended the CSOs for the peaceful way they conducted themselves during the protest that took place on Friday.
Obasa noted that the House had earlier joined its voice to the call on the government at the centre to urgently find solutions to the rising insecurity in some part of the country.
The speaker, therefore, directed the Clerk of the House, Mr Lekan Onafeko, to transmit the petition to government and the national Assembly


Netflix Stock Falls 20% On Slower Subscriber Growth
Streaming giant Netflix's (NFLX) stock is down 20% in premarket trading after the company warned of slowing subscriber growth when announcing its latest quarterly earnings.
Netflix said it expects to add just 2.5 million subscribers this quarter, a number that falls short of Wall Street's estimates and would mark the slowest start to a new year for the company in a decade.
Shares of Netflix fell as much as 20% to $406.12 U.S. in after-hours trading, erasing about $45 billion U.S. in market value as investors adjust to a new era of slower growth for the company.
Netflix said it added just 18.2 million customers in 2021, down 50% from the record year before when people were locked down with the pandemic.
The company is forecasting that the slowdown will continue, at least for another quarter, with the outlook for the current period missing Wall Street's projection for 6.26 million new subscribers.
Netflix reiterated its confidence in the long-term prospects for its business but said growth“has not yet re-accelerated to pre-COVID levels.”
The company ended last year with two strong quarters. Netflix signed up 8.28 million customers in the fourth quarter of 2021, beating Wall Street estimates, though shy of its own forecast of 8.5 million subscribers.
Europe and Asia were Netflix's most important markets in 2021. The company added 7.14 million customers in Asia and 7.34 million in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
In the fourth quarter, Netflix's earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.33 U.S. pared to $0.82 U.S. expected by analysts. The company's Q4 revenue matched the $7.71 billion expected by Wall Street.
Netflix announced last week that it is raising prices for its monthly subscriptions in the U.S. and Canada as its subscriber growth plateaus in the North American market.
