"And such work is already actively underway. Our defense industry is already yielding a better result. The production of new types of weapons began, including of Bohdana self-propelled howitzers, e-warfare systems, drones, small arms, etc. We are doing everything possible so that over time, Ukraine becomes as self-sufficient as possible in providing its Defense Forces with all weapons required. At the same time, I emphasize that at the stage of ramping up the development of domestic defense companies, the support from our partners, as well as financial and technological investments are critical. It is important for us to create joint production of weapons and conclude long-term contracts in the format of international consortia," the deputy minister emphasized.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, in January 2024, the Ministry of Defense allowed more than 40 models of Ukrainian and foreign-made weapons and military equipment to be put into service with the Army.

Commenting on the announcement, Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said, "Everyone knows that Dubai is a leader in innovation in various fields. Today, we announce one of its innovations in the field of charity, in line with the #Year of Giving, declared by the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Year of Giving strategy announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. It will be the first charity park in the world and will be a sustainable endowment in the name of the UAE community and a witness to the charity activities deep routed in the UAE."

Incidentally, both the FIRs have been filed at the same Hare Street Police station in central Kolkata.
According to Adhikari, they have chosen to file the FIR for the sake of records knowing that there will be no police action in the matter. "I would like to assure all these offenders that one day all of you will be taken to task for this disrespectful behaviour. Just wait for the day. Till then remember one thing, when you spit at the moon, it falls back on your face!," the he said.
The heavyweight ministers whose names have been included in the FIR by BJP include Firhad Hakim, Aroop Biswas, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Sujit Bose, Birbaha Hansda, Pulak Roy and Bratya Basu among others.
In the FIR, a copy of which is available with IANS, Firhad Hakim, Aroop Biswas and Chandrima Bhattacharya have been named as the principal conspirators in initiating the process of abusing the ministers.

Visa requirements lifted on Cyprus amid peace talks
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) The two administrations on the divided island of Cyprus decided Friday to remove visa requirements as a goodwill gesture amid ongoing negotiations over the island's future.
Visa applications will be lifted effective as of May 16 for people living on the island, said a statement issued Friday by the Interior Ministry of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
The president of the Cyprus Turkish Association of Tourism and Travel Agencies, Orhan Tolun, welcomed the news saying it offers great convenience for them.
He told Anadolu Agency that beginning from Saturday, people will not be forced to long waits at border gates.
The news comes hours after the TRNC President Mustafa Akinci and Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades met Friday to resume peace negotiations over the Cyprus issue. Akinci and Anastasiades met with United Nations Special Advisor Espen Barth Eide at the UN's office in Cyprus.
Peace talks were unilaterally suspended by the Greek Cypriot administration last October after Turkey issued an advisory on behalf of the TRNC for seismic research off the coast of Cyprus.
The island was divided into a Turkish Cypriot government in the northern one third and a Greek Cypriot administration in the southern two-thirds after a 1974 military coup by Greece was followed by the intervention of Turkey as a guarantor state in Cyprus.
Border gates between the TRNC and Greek-administered southern Cyprus were opened on April 2003.

(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Riyadh, Aug 14, 2022, SPA -- Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Turki bin Abdul Mohsen Al Al-Sheikh, launched late Saturday the 92nd Saudi National Day Identity, which falls on September 23 of each year.
The identity came in line with the projects of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, as it consisted of two combined slogans, one verbal and the other artistic, inspired by the ambition, belonging and unity of the people of the Kingdom.
The identity of the National Day takes its verbal slogan from the phrase“It Is Our Home” because of the sincere and deep connotations related to the sentence, as well as touching the conscience of the Saudis who used to describe their homeland as the home in many popular songs and poems that represent part of their heritage and present.
The identity was inspired by its artistic logo from the Kingdom's embrace of all those who are on its territory, and harnessing its capabilities for them. It designed the logo on the country's map, and wrote the phrase“It Is Our home” in the though script on the Saudi flag. The design was supported by a set of colors reflecting a number of meanings associated with the Kingdom such as growth, security, ambition, determination, wisdom and loyalty.
The identity also reflects the role of the National Day in instilling Saudi cultural values in the hearts of generations, celebrating the projects of the wise vision, as well as belonging to a great entity with its passion and determination to make the impossible a tangible reality in the land of the Kingdom.
GEA called on all government and private agencies to use and unify the approved identity for the 92nd National Day, through various applications, by downloading them by entering the following link: --SPA

Japan''s Inpex buys Gulf of Mexico oilfield stake
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Japan's largest oil explorer Inpex Corp. said Tuesday it has acquired a 7.2 percent stake in the Lucius project in the deepwater of the US Gulf of Mexico from a subsidiary of US company Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
The oil and gas development project includes portions of Keathley Canyon blocks, the Tokyo-based firm said in a statement.

(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama)
The new car market in Panama is reviving in 2021, with sales that exceed the expectations of the industry itself .
Between 2019 and 2020, the market contracted by 49.7%, after going from 47,866 sales to 24,091. Virtually half as many cars were sold in 2020 as in 2019.
This year, until November 33,920 new vehicles have been sold, according to figures from the Association of Automobile Dealers of Panama (Adap) , a figure that represents an increase of 67% compared to the same period in 2020 and a drop of 23% compared to 2019 data.
The president of Adap, Anthony Salerno, made the caveat that in 2019 the Panama Motor Show car fair was held in person in October and this year it was held virtually between December 1 and 5 .
Taking into account that the average number of cars sold each month in 2021 is 3,084 and the momentum that the fair usually gives, the industry expects to comfortably exceed 37,000 units sold at the end of the year, thus exceeding the previous expectation of 35,000.
If this estimate is met, in one year more than half of the ground lost in 2020 will have been recovered, and the industry would close with some 10,000 fewer cars sold than in 2019, a year that was marked by the slowdown in the economy.
The data reflects that local demand is recovering, while the main concerns of the industry focus, according to Salerno, on the tensions in the supply chain that affect a product of which Panama is an importer.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Demand outpaced supply Abu Dhabi's hospitality industry during October, driven by the World Skills event and the upswing in the tourist arrivals.
According to STR's preliminary figures for Abu Dhabi, both occupancy and average daily rates (ADRs) also witnessed upswings, with per-night rates touching Dh500.
The number of room supply increased 0.5 per cent, while demand grew at a faster pace of 13.2 per cent, pushing occupancy rate up by 12.7 per cent to 80.9 per cent.
"STR analysts point out that significant demand growth was helped by the World Skills competition, which was held on October 15-18. Occupancy was above 90 per cent three times during the event, while ADR was more than Dh500 each night," the consultancy said in a statement.
The average daily rate, meanwhile, increased 2.3 per cent to Dh465.58 and revenue per available room witnessed 15.3 per cent growth to Dh376.88.
According to figures released by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi, the number of hotel guests increased five per cent to 415,985 in emirate's 163 hotels and hotel apartments.
In the first nine months of 2017, the emirate received 3.5 million hotel guests.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Reuters
Dubai: Most stock markets in the Gulf ended higher yesterday, with the Qatari index outperforming the region as it drew support from rising oil prices and strong corporate earnings.
Crude prices, a catalyst for the Gulf's financial markets, rose more than $2 a barrel to settle at $110.01 a barrel on Friday ahead of the coming week's OPEC+ meeting. Sources say it will consider leaving output unchanged.
In Qatar, the index advanced 1.9 percent, with Qatar Islamic Bank rising 2.4 percent and Islamic lender Masraf Al Rayan closing 3.9 percent higher. Among other gainers, Mekdam Holding jumped 3.6 percent, after reporting a rise in first-half profit. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index added 0.4 percent, led by a 3.6 percent gain in petrochemical firm Yansab. The kingdom's gross domestic product rose by 11.8 percent in the second quarter compared with the same period in 2021, initial government estimates found on Sunday, as the world's top oil exporter benefits from higher energy prices.
Growth was largely driven by a 23.1 percent increase in oil activities, the General Authority for Statistics said, while non-oil activities expanded 5.4 percent.
Beyond the Gulf, Egypt's blue-chip index finished 1 percent higher, with Commercial International Bank climbing 1.2 percent.

Gaza, Dec 4 (IANS) A senior official of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has announced that a new round of Palestinian dialogue for inter-factional reconciliation would be held in Algeria at the end of December.
Khalil Al-Hayya, Deputy Chief of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, on Saturday made the remarks during a conference among the Palestinian factions on ending their internal division, which was held simultaneously in Gaza and the West Bank city of Ramallah.
'Algeria will host a new session of the national dialogue for the Palestinian factions at the end of December to resume the Palestinian efforts for achieving reconciliation and end the internal division,' he was quoted by a Hamas statement as saying.
Al-Hayya added that Hamas wants to restore national unity, not based on the needs of the residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but rather on a programme and vision of resistance that stems from being a liberation movement that wants to end the division, Xinhua news agency reported.
'There is a need for a Palestinian vision capable of achieving the right of return and liberation of the occupied lands and how to lead this activity,' he said, adding that all factions are partners, and the homeland is not preserved by any party.'
In mid-October, 14 Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Fatah, signed the Algeria Declaration of National Reconciliation after a two-day dialogue hosted by Algeria, agreeing to hold legislative and presidential elections within a year.
Algeria has been working for months to mediate the reconciliation deal.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) QNA
Doha: The Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, H E Eng. Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi, has revealed that three international partners have joined the North Field South expansion project, in addition to the partner that has been announced recently.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, Eng. Al Kaabi noted that the new partners will be announced at the appropriate time.
The minister said that the eastern north field projects, the southern north field projects, and Golden Pass will add 48 tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually, emphasizing that Qatar alone will produce the majority of the new LNG supply during the period from 2025 to 2027.
Speaking about the value of the international partnerships fostered by QatarEnergy in these ambitious projects, Eng. Al Kaabi said, 'The partnership model adopted by QatarEnergy has been very successful and made us what we are today, and granted us the ability to upgrade the best competencies, abilities, techniques, and marketing. QatarEnergy is indebted to all its partners who have been operating in tandem with it until we reached where we are today.''
With regard to zero emissions, the minister noted that several countries have announced the goals that can be achieved during a certain period. However, they have neither the plan nor the willingness to put commitment into action.
'Due to this, coal burning has become more powerful than ever and has pushed us many years back,' he said.
Eng. Al Kaabi highlighted the role Qatar is undertaking to reduce gas emissions and carbon footprints, pointing out that Qatar will soon open a solar power plant in Al Kharsaah with a capacity of 800 megawatts that will supply Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) with 10 percent of the local demand, which is a great achievement for a major producer of natural gas.
'Qatar is the largest country in the Middle East and North Africa in terms of injecting carbon dioxide as part of the efforts dedicated to carbon capture and sequestration. Qatar is currently injecting 2.5 million tons and will grow to over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide annually by the year 2035,' he said.
Commenting on the transition to low carbon energy, Eng. Al Kaabi called for a responsible transition in which LNG will be a fundamental and permanent fuel, combined with carbon capture and sequestration techniques as well as the reduction of methane emissions.

(MENAFN - UkrinForm) Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he is ready to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Moscow, but the issue of ending the war in eastern Ukraine can be discussed only after the Ukrainian authorities hold talks with "DPR and LPR leaders."
Putin said this at a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, April 22, according to the Izvestia news site.
According to Putin, if Zelensky wants to discuss bilateral relations, he invites him to Moscow, but if Zelensky wants to discuss the "problems of Donbas," Putin proposed that he do so with "DPR and LPR leaders."
"If it's about discussing the problems of Donbas, then, first of all, the Ukrainian leadership should meet with the leaders of 'republics,' 'LPR' and 'DPR,' and only then discuss these problems with representatives of third countries, which is Russia in this case," Putin said.
At the same time, according to him, if the issue concerns the development of bilateral relations, Russia is ready to "receive the president of Ukraine in Moscow at any time convenient for him." Putin also believes that "the current Ukrainian leadership has recently taken many steps that are destroying relations between the two countries." Putin said that this concerns a number of issues in bilateral relations, the attitude to the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as to the Russian language.
Zelensky addressed Putin on April 20, inviting him to meet "in any part of the Ukrainian Donbas where war is ongoing."

An Abu Dhabi court has awarded Dh250,000 in compensation to a worker after he was severely injured when a heavy pump fell on him while on duty. The worker was repairing the pump when the incident took place and sustained multiple fractures to his spine and ribs.
Official court documents stated that the man filed a lawsuit against the company owner that employed him demanding Dh500,000 in compensation for the physical, moral and material damages he suffered as a result of the incident.
The plaintiff said he was on duty repairing a pump at the workshop owned by the defendant when the pump fell on him. In his lawsuit, the worker said he sustained multiple fractures to the spinal code and the back ribs.
Investigations confirmed that the accident resulted from the company's negligence and lack of safety measures to protect the workers.
The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court had earlier convicted the company's owner for negligence and flouting safety measures. The company owner was fined Dh10,000 and ordered to pay Dh60,000 temporary compensation to the worker.
The worker then filed a civil lawsuit against the company owner, demanding compensation.
The man said the injuries affected him so badly that he can no longer stand to perform any task for a prolonged duration, yet he's the sole breadwinner for his family.
The Abu Dhabi Civil Court of First Instance had earlier instructed the owner of the company to pay Dh250,000 to the worker in compensation for the damages.
The employer challenged the ruling in the appeals court, which upheld the verdict by the lower court.
The company owner will also pay for the worker's legal expenses.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President of Poland Andrzej Duda considers that it is very important for global food security to unblock the port in Odesa so that Ukraine will be able to export food to countries that need it.
Duda said this at a joint press conference with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
As Duda stressed, not only Ukraine needs the support of the world, but the world also needs Ukraine, which is a powerful food producer. He noted that there are countries that depend on Ukraine in this sense, so the world should help them get, for example, Ukrainian grain and sunflower oil traditionally exported there.
'It is a very important question how to unlock the port in Odesa so that Ukraine will be able to export its food, and how to export it, for example, to Egypt or other African countries,' Duda said.
He said that he had discussed these issues in detail with President Zelensky and they would soon be raised at an intergovernmental Polish-Ukrainian conference.
As reported, on May 12, EU Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean presented in Brussels“Solidarity Lanes” – an action plan to help Ukrainian food exports. Under this project, 20 million tonnes of grain will be shipped from Ukraine using EU infrastructure in less than three months.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine warned consumer countries that batches of grain sold by Russia may partially or completely contain grain stolen by Russian invaders in Ukraine. Russia's theft of Ukrainian grain is confirmed by numerous testimonies of Ukrainian farmers and documentary evidence.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times)
Britain reported the highest number of Covid-19 deaths in almost a year yesterday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government considers relaxing measures introduced to reduce the spread of Omicron variant.
Britain reported 438 new deaths from Covid-19, the highest daily total since Feb 24 last year. Health minister Sajid Javid earlier told parliament he was optimistic that Covid-19 measures introduced to reduce the spread of Omicron will be scaled back next week as cases and hospitalisations look to have peaked.
The government is considering phasing out England's remaining pandemic restrictions, including working from home guidance and the use of vaccine passports, British media have reported. Despite infections reaching record highs in recent weeks, the rapid roll-out of booster shots and the lesser severity of Omicron has meant hospitalisations and deaths have not risen as sharply compared with earlier waves of the pandemic.
Britain has reported 152,513 deaths from Covid-19 in total, the seventh highest death total in the world, with the vast majority of deaths occurring in the first year of the pandemic. Scotland yesterday announced it was easing coronavirus restrictions as case numbers, which hit record numbers over Christmas during the Omicron wave, continued to fall. The move came as Wales also began lifting Covid restrictions and England said it would likely do the same next week.
Nightclubs will reopen and the requirement for table service in premises serving alcohol will no longer apply, said Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Guidance asking people to stick to a three household limit on indoor gatherings will also be lifted, she added. Limits on attendances at outdoor of public events were lifted on Monday. But infection levels remained high, warned Sturgeon.“So to minimise the risk of getting the virus, it would be sensible for all of us to remain cautious in our social interactions at this stage,” she added.
There will be no extension of the coronavirus vaccine passport scheme but people will still be asked to work from home whenever possible. UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said that he was“cautiously optimistic” that Covid restrictions in England could be“substantially reduced” from next week.“We have already reached the peak of the case numbers of hospitalisations,” Javid told MPs. The Welsh government has said a decline in Covid cases in intensive care means it will scale down its alert level from two to zero in coming weeks. The number of people who can attend an outdoor event in Wales rose from 50 to 500 at the weekend.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Congress has officially authorized US President Barack Obama's plan to provide training and send weapons to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), following a 78-22 vote of approval in the Senate. The House of Representatives, late on Thursday, put the plan through one day earlier, despite the lack of specifics and the lack of a budget for the operation. "These Syrian opposition forces are fighting both the brutality of ISIL terrorists and the tyranny of the Assad regime," Obama said in remarks after the vote. "We had already ramped up our assistance, including military assistance, to the Syrian opposition. With this new effort, we'll provide training and equipment to help them grow stronger and take on ISIL terrorists inside Syria." In a statement, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel called the vote a "key element of the president's comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIL.
"While it will take time to strengthen the moderate Syrian opposition forces, they and the Iraqi Security Forces and Kurdish forces are central to confronting ISIL," he said. "The U.S. military will work closely with regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, to recruit and vet the opposition forces, and we will continue to build and sustain a broad coalition to implement our strategy." Obama explained that "this is in keeping with a key principle" of the US strategy not to include boots on the ground. "[The military's] mission is to advise and assist our partners on the ground," he said.
He further noted that Congressional approval for his plan "shows the world that Americans are united in confronting the threat from ISIL, which has slaughtered so many innocent civilians."

10,000 campers in France forced to flee forest fire
(MENAFN- The Peninsula) French officials evacuated 10,000 people from three different campsites Monday as hot winds fanned fires in drought-hit Provence in the middle of the summer holiday season, officials said.
Three fires broke out in the southeastern Var region, spreading quickly as strong winds whipped the area, which is parched due to a lack of rain and high temperatures.
Thirty mobile homes went up in flames in one camping site in Frejus, about 40 kilometres west of Cannes, and 10 in another, local government said in a statement, adding over 200 firemen and 50 firetrucks were battling the blaze.
Four water-bomber aircraft and two helicopters were deployed to fight a fire in a village near the Gorges du Verdon - a river canyon that is a major tourist attraction in the region.
Meanwhile a forest fire raging since Friday in southwestern France has now ravaged some 580 hectares (1,433 acres) of pine forest on the western edges of the city of Bordeaux.
With much of France affected by drought, President Francois Hollande visited the Var area on Monday - before the fires broke out there - to observe an exercise in fighting forest fires.
"Unfortunately weather conditions are favourable to the fire starting up again (near Bordeaux), with the wind and the drought. We must be vigilant all over France," he said.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) A retired Indian diplomat, Deepak Vohra, has made outlandish claims about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent visit to India for the G20 Summit. Speaking on a news channel, Vohra asserted that Trudeau's plane was "full of cocaine" and that the Canadian leader "didn't come out of his room for two days," missing G20 events.
He further claimed that sniffer dogs detected cocaine on Trudeau's plane and suggested that Trudeau's behavior indicated he had "freaked out" and was trying to portray himself as a "Canadian Rambo."
New FCRA rules demand transparency: NGOs must share asset details from foreign funds
During the discussion, Vohra questioned whether Trudeau had a brain and referred to him as a "tiny infant." He also mentioned that his wife had seen Trudeau looking "troubled" upon arrival at Delhi airport.
The news channel host, Deepak Chaurasia, did not challenge Vohra's claims but simply responded with "Theek hai" (Alright) and moved on to the next topic.
It's worth noting that Vohra has previously made controversial statements, including referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping as "ping pong ting ling ting ling" on national television.
Additionally, he is under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a case related to "financial bungling" during his tenure as ambassador to Sudan from 2007 to 2009.

Despite his controversial history, Vohra has been invited to comment on international relations and has appeared on various Indian media channels to discuss India's relations with Canada in recent weeks.

(MENAFN) According to recent reports, the production of red meat in Iran has fallen by 24 percent in the eleventh month of the current Iranian calendar year (January 21-February 19) compared to the same period last year. The total production of red meat during this month was 38,974 tons. Beef and veal had the highest share in the country's red meat output during this period, accounting for 20,563 tons. Lamb and mutton followed with 14,986 tons, while goat meat and red meat from other livestock contributed 2,554 and 871 tons, respectively.
The decrease in red meat production has also led to a five percent drop in the amount of red meat supplied in the official slaughterhouses of the country during the same period. Iran is known to be one of the leading consumers of red meat in the West Asia region, with lamb being the most popular type. However, per capita consumption of red meat in Iran is only about a third of what is typically seen in countries like the United States and Australia, mainly due to the prohibition of pork in Islamic law.
Despite being a major consumer of red meat, Iran also imports a significant amount of this product from other countries. Brazil is one of the primary sources of red meat imports to Iran, where Iranian supervisors directly control culling methods to ensure compliance with religious regulations.
The decrease in red meat production in Iran is a cause for concern as it may lead to an increase in prices of this product, which could have an impact on the country's economy. Furthermore, it may also affect the dietary habits of Iranians who rely heavily on red meat as a source of protein. It remains to be seen whether the government will take measures to address this issue and boost red meat production in the country.

(MENAFN) Michelin, the renowned French tire manufacturer, anticipates an uptick in worker wages amidst a backdrop of diminishing energy prices and logistical expenses throughout the current year, notwithstanding geopolitical tensions in regions like the southern Red Sea. Yves Chapeau, the company's chief financial officer, conveyed in a telephone interview with Bloomberg News Agency that the potential downturn in transportation and energy expenditures could offset the impact of wage hikes over the entirety of the current year.
In a bid to enhance employee compensation, Michelin aims to implement a 5 percent wage increase for its workers in France during the ongoing year. Concurrently, the company is optimistic about the prospect of reduced energy, transportation, and certain raw material costs. Despite concerns surrounding the navigation crisis in the Red Sea, with ships rerouting around Africa due to heightened risks, Michelin remains relatively unfazed. Chapeau noted that while this crisis may prolong journey times by 10 to 12 days for ships traveling between Asia and Europe, its impact is projected to be minimal, accounting for approximately 4 percent of the company's total production or raw material consumption.
It is worth noting that numerous international navigation and maritime transport firms have opted to avoid the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait due to security risks posed to commercial vessels. Chapeau emphasized that the current maritime transport crisis pales in comparison to the supply chain disruptions witnessed globally in late 2021 and early 2022.
Additionally, Chapeau underscored Michelin's readiness to pursue merger and acquisition opportunities, both within the tire manufacturing sector and in other domains. Responding to inquiries regarding the company's willingness to engage in acquisition deals exceeding one billion euros, Chapeau asserted, "We can consider any opportunity based on the deal size and its potential benefits." Michelin's openness to strategic acquisitions reflects its commitment to growth and diversification in alignment with evolving market dynamics.

(MENAFN- Cyber Knight Technologies) Dubai, UAE — March 2nd, 2021: CyberKnight has extended its relationship with one of its technology partners - Stealthbits to become sole Middle East distributor for Netwrix, following Stealthbits’ recent merger with Netwrix, a company that makes data security easy. This partnership will enable CyberKnight customers to address challenges related to identifying and detecting data security risk as well as protecting, responding, and recovering from cybersecurity attacks.
Gartner predicts that "through 2024 80% of information governance programs that do not include unstructured, semi-structured and structured data into the same governance program will fail, up from 30% today." In addition, fragmented solutions in the data security market prevent organizations from building comprehensive security strategies to protect their sensitive and regulated data.
“We are thrilled about a strategic partnership with the combined entity of Netwrix and Stealthbits, now part of Netwrix. Their solutions will empower our regional customers to identify and classify sensitive information with utmost precision, reduce exposure to risk and detect threats in time to avoid data breaches – all while achieving and proving compliance”, commented Vivek Gupta, Co-Founder & COO at CyberKnight.
“Solutions often overlap in functionality, which means that organizations have to pay twice for the same features. Having merged together, Netwrix and Stealthbits are able to offer to their partners a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions. We are confident that we will continue to drive customer value with CyberKnight through their deep-rooted channel partnerships, enterprise and government customer advisory relationships, strong cybersecurity expertise and local presence across the region,” said Rob Billington, Channel Manager, EMEA at Netwrix and Stealthbits.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The so-called referendum on joining Russia, which is held these days particularly in occupied Mariupol, has an extremely low turnout. Organizers have to resort to certain conditions.
'Mariupol. Current situation. 'Referendum'. Yesterday evening, the occupation administration got scolded for the extremely low turnout. Therefore, the morning began with forced voting. 'Mobile brigades' were waiting for workers at their workplaces with a simple condition: vote or lose your job and salary,' Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to Mariupol mayor, posted on Telegram .
According to him, several tents were set up in places of concentration of people, but there were few people willing to vote.
'The next propaganda video shows an 'unbelievable queue' of 10 people and empty transparent ballot boxes. Many people are actively avoiding the vote, including by simply leaving the city and going to the coast,' Andriushchenko informed.
As reported, on September 23-27, the aggressor holds 'referenda on joining Russia' in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. The leaders of Western countries have already declared that Russian sham referenda in Ukraine will be illegitimate. At the same time, Russian president Vladimir Putin said on September 21 that Russia recognized the results of the 'referenda'.
Meanwhile, the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in August 2022 show that the vast majority of respondents in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are sure that their region should be an integral part of Ukraine, and their well-being and security have significantly deteriorated since the occupation.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — Friday marks the 41st anniversary of the death of Her Majesty Queen Alia, who passed away on February 9, 1977.
The late Queen, who was born in Cairo on December 25, 1948, died in a helicopter crash while returning from an inspection trip to Tafileh Hospital in southern Jordan.
Queen Alia, born Alia Baha Uddin Toukan, married His Majesty the late King Hussein in 1971.
They had two children: Their Royal Highnesses Princess Haya and Prince Ali. In 1972, they adopted Abeer Moheisen.
Active in charity and social work, Queen Alia represented Jordanian women at many international conferences, serving as a model for Arab women in supporting their causes and their participation in socioeconomic development.
In memory of Queen Alia, Princess Haya, wife of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, set up Tkiyet Um Ali, which provides assistance to underprivileged families.
Launched in 2006, the project was originally an idea introduced by the late Queen who wanted to help underprivileged families.
The term 'tkiyet' dates back to the Ottoman days, when prominent families opened facilities on their estates to offer food to the poor and homeless.
