The Swiss Olympic Committee said its position on banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions remains unchanged, a day after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued its own recommendation on the matter. This content was published on March 30, 2023 March 30, 2023 minutes swissinfo.ch/gw
In addition to retaining the ban on athletes, the Swiss body on Wednesday repeated its call that officials from Belarus and Russia be prevented from holding posts in international sports bodies, in line with the position of the Swiss government. It also said Swiss sports federations and their athletes were free to decide whether to participate in international competitions where Russian and Belarusian athletes are included.
The IOC has previously refused to exclude officials from the body, by arguing that members were elected as individuals and did not, according to the Olympic Charter, represent their country in the Lausanne-based organisation.
Swiss Olympic's decision contrasts with the announcement on Tuesday by the IOC that Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed to compete again in international events under a neutral flag. This advice does not include participation at the 2024 Summer Olympics – a separate decision will be taken on this at a later date, President Thomas Bach said.
+ ioc issues recommendations for the gradual return to international competitions of russian and belarusian athletes The IOC had initially sanctioned the athletes after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Bach justified the reversal by pointing to advice from independent human rights experts that excluding athletes based only on their passports would amount to discrimination.

(MENAFN) Josep Borrell, the head of foreign affairs for the European Union, has reaffirmed that the shattered 2015 Iran nuclear agreement is still alive and may be restored.
Borrell said that although the agreement has come to a stop, it is still alive in an interview with Chilean media site Columna Digital.
“The agreement itself, which was that it [Iran] not become a nuclear power in exchange for allowing it to participate in international trade and, in particular, to export its oil, was already practically reconstructed,” the EU foreign policy chief said, as reported by Fars News.
Borrell then lamented previous U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“Trump destroyed it for free. Although it worked well, [the United States] withdrew from the agreement. Afterwards, the substantive agreement was practically finished, although it was not possible to reach the end afterwards,” he added.
Borrell then reiterated Western claims on Iran, stating, “Later, Iran has entered into a dynamic that makes it very difficult to reach agreements of any kind. The repression of internal movements, in particular of women, the application of the death penalty, and the supply of arms to Russia - although they deny that they do so, there is plenty of evidence in this regard - have created an environment in which the nuclear agreement becomes more difficult.”

(MENAFN- The Conversation) A national commissioner for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children will be established by the Albanese government, an initiative long sought by Indigenous advocates.
The commissioner will especially focus on the vexed issue of the high proportion of children in out-of-home care. Indigenous children are almost 11 times more likely to be in out-of-home care than non-Indigenous children.
Delivering the 2023 Closing the Gap Annual Report and the 2024 Implementation Plan, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told parliament:
The government also announced $707 million for a new remote jobs program to deliver 3000 jobs, and initiatives and funding for remote training hubs in Central Australia, justice policy partnerships, Wifi services in remote communities and an expansion of the junior rangers program.
Asked whether the funding announced is new or old money, the government said the jobs and justice commitments were new dollars, with the Wifi and training from existing funds.
Albanese said after then-prime minister Kevin Rudd's Apology to the Stolen Generations 16 years ago, only 11 out of 19 socioeconomic outcomes for Indigenous people were improving.“Just four are on track to meet their targets,” he said.
“What should give us pause is that outcomes have worsened for four critical targets – children's early development, rates of children in out-of-home care, rates of adult imprisonment, and tragically suicide.”
He said the debate before the Voice referendum had“brought into sharp focus the disadvantage and inequality” of Ingenious people.
“This government remains determined to move reconciliation forward and seek better results for Indigenous Australians.”
Albanese indicated the government was still committed to treaty and truth telling which, with a Voice, were key elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. But he did not indicate how it would pursue them, saying simply“As we take the time needed to get Makaratta and truth-telling right, the work of treaty goes on at a state and territory level. There will be a diversity of processes, reflecting the diversity of First Nations across the continent.”
Albanese stressed the importance of listening to Indigenous people.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton again urged a royal commission into the sexual abuse of children in Indigenous communities.
Dutton, replying to the PM, said the findings of such an inquiry“would certainly support the work of this national commissioner”.
Dutton called for the specifics of the jobs program.“From which sectors, industries and employers will these jobs come? What infrastructure is or will be put in place to support these jobs?”

Male, March 28 (IANS) The Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a $41 million financing package with the Bank of Maldives (BML) on Tuesday to support locally owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and tourism.
As the sole mandated lead arranger and bookrunner, the Manila-based ADB has arranged, structured, and syndicated the entire financing package, comprising a loan of up to $13 million from the ADB's ordinary capital resources, a parallel loan of up to $13 million from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and a parallel loan of up to $5 million from the Development Bank of Austria, reports Xinhua news agency.
To improve development impact and to address bankability issues relating to blue economy transactions in Maldives, the ADB said it blended the project's debt financing with a concessional loan of up to $9 million from the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia II (CFPS II) and a grant of up to $1 million from the ADB's Asian Development Fund (ADF)-Private Sector Window (PSW).
"The blue economy is crucial to future prosperity in Maldives, as its people and economy are intrinsically linked to the health and wealth of the ocean, coral reefs, beaches and marine life. However, investments in the blue economy, including by SMEs and through climate adaptation projects, have been lacking," ADB Director General for Private Sector Operations Suzanne Gaboury said.
She added the ADB partnership with BML, Maldives' largest bank, will deliver much-needed financing to the tourism sector and support climate projects and locally owned SMEs, including those owned and run by women.
The ADB said at least 60 per cent of the loan package will be earmarked for lending to SMEs, and 5 per cent will be allocated to women-owned or led firms.
The ADB said the CFPS II loan and PSW grant will support BML's capacity to support and promote climate change mitigation and adaptation projects focused on the blue economy.
Maldives is highly vulnerable to natural hazards and extreme climate events due to its fragile ecological profile and low elevation.
Moreover, Maldives lacks domestic conventional energy resources and is dependent on imported fossil fuels.
The ADB said financing from ADB-administered funds will help improve the resilience and sustainability of the economy, especially the tourism sector.

DOHA- When the World Cup draw came out in April, one of the highlights of the group stage was Sunday's match between Spain and Germany at Al Bayt Stadium.
Nearly eight months later, the game between the two former world champions and pre-tournament favorites gained even more prominence thanks to Germany's surprising loss to Japan in its opener in Qatar.
Another setback against Spain this weekend and Germany may be heading home early for the second straight World Cup. A loss — coupled with at least a draw by Japan against Costa Rica in the earlier match Sunday — will mean elimination for the four-time champions.
“We are optimistic,” Germany coach Hansi Flick said Saturday.“We have to be brave and believe in our quality. We want to stick to our game because we have the quality.”
Spain, meanwhile, will be looking to secure its spot in the next stage and reinforce its status as one of the top title contenders following an impressive 7-0 rout of Costa Rica in its opener.
“It's a big test for us,” Spain coach Luis Enrique said.“In such an important event like this, against one of the favourites to win the World Cup, in a complicated situation for them, we want to show that we will not play differently, and that we will try to dominate from the start. And if it works, fantastic. If not, we will congratulate our rival.”

Health Minister Luis Francisco Sucre announced Wednesday that the definition of when a person is in direct or close contact with a person detected positive for Covid-19 is being reviewed again.
“As a country, in the situation, we are in, we considered lowering the isolation period from 14 days to 10 days and we have lowered the quarantine period from 14 days to five or six days, provided that a test is carried out and came back negative, 'he explained.
The minister said that in the latter case the person must immediately return to work.
These types of questions were asked on Tuesday when Sucre met with delegates from the Chamber of Commerce, the National Council of Private Enterprise, and other ministers, to analyze the impact of the fourth wave of Covid-19 in the country.
At the meeting, Sucre was asked if the days of isolation and quarantine could be lowered to seven. The minister indicated that based on the discussion with scientists, epidemiology teams, and public health 'at this time the best thing for the country is to stay for 10 days and five days.'
He added that this may change over time, however, it will remain that way today.
The decision to reduce the isolation and quarantine time was announced by the Health authorities on December 28, eight days after the first case the Omicron variant was reported to the country.
Sucre described as positive the meeting held with the businessmen and various ministers of State. He said that he was consulted about the possibility of applying drastic measures in the face of the increase in cases of Covid-19, a possibility that 'for now' was rejected.

Iran negates Israel’s allegations over chemical weapons violations
(MENAFN) On Friday, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs categorically negated the Israeli regime's allegations that Tehran breached the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Reza Najafi emphasized that engaging in a blame game does not excuse the regime from what he described as its "brutal crimes" against Palestinians over the past seven decades.
Najafi delivered this response during the 28th Session of the Conference of the States Parties, a forum responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. This session, held in The Hague from November 27 to December 1, brought together delegates from every member state of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
In his address, Najafi specifically criticized the Israeli envoy's baseless accusations and underscored Iran's significant historical context as one of the main countries targeted by chemical weapons. He pointedly referred to Saddam Hussein's deployment of chemical weapons against Iranian civilians and military forces during the Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s. This historical perspective was invoked to counter the accusations and highlight Iran's own experience with chemical weapons.
The Iranian envoy made evident that “the child-killing Israeli regime,” which has negated having chemical weapons readily available, it does not have the right to comment on a member state that has been exposed to such fatal weaponry.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) In Mariupol, the invaders will conduct a census of men aged 18 to 50 under the guise of forming a 'labor reserve to clear the rubble,' while these men are most likely to be later drafted into the army to fight against Ukraine's forces.
This was announced on Telegram by the adviser to the Mariupol mayor, Petro Andryushchenko, Ukrinform reports.
“An interesting detail here. Yesterday, a 'working meeting' of the so-called 'Donetsk Republic' NGO (which in fact is their MGB security service) with the chiefs of Denis Pushilin's constituency offices (mostly it's local residents - neighborhood watch members and others) was held in Mariupol.

He noted that his“sources” familiar with the matter reported Russia's plans to begin an open mobilization of all local men as early as this July and August once they obtain passports of the so-called 'DPR' or Russia under a streamlined procedure.
'As a result, we can say that Russia, together with its satellites, has decided to replenish the mobilization reserve of its army at the expense of the Mariupol men in the near future. The tactics of 'women will deliver more' and the use of cannon fodder has remained unchanged in Russia for centuries,' said the mayor's advisor.

(MENAFN- IANS) Lucknow, June 4 (IANS) The government doctors in Uttar Pradesh have been told to prescribe only generic drugs to patients as per the new guidelines issued by the medical health department.
Issued by the department's principal secretary Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma on Saturday, the circular lists a set of instructions that all chief medical superintendents and government hospital directors must adhere to.
"The working status of each equipment in hospitals must be updated on the CARE app every Monday. If equipment is non-functional for long, the hospital shall contact the additional director of the electrical wing. The live monitoring of 108 hospitals in the state from the integrated command control centre will begin soon as CCTV circuits are in place," the circular says.
"Most medicines are available in stores. Doctors will prescribe only generic medicines, even if they are not in stock at hospitals," Sharma said.
Explaining its significance, an expert said generic drugs save patients' money. "Generic drugs cost less in spite of the same good manufacturing practices followed to make them," said Dr Abhishek Shukla, the secretary-general of the Association of International Doctors.
Also, doctors will be subjected to a monthly scrutiny on the basis of their specialty, patients counselled in the outpatient wing, major and minor surgeries performed and the likes, and the data will be uploaded on the Health Management Information System portal.

(MENAFN- IANS) Kuala Lumpur, May 30 (IANS) Authorities in Malaysia said a Chinese vessel has been detained over suspicions that it looted two Second World War British shipwrecks.
In a report, the BBC said that the British Royal Navy had dispatched the battleships -- HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse -- to Singapore during the war to shore up the defence of Malaya.
They were sunk by Japanese torpedoes on December 10, 1941.
The strike had occurred just three days after the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on the US fleet in Pearl Harbour.
In a statement, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) said the Fuzhou-registered vessel was detained on Sunday for anchoring 20.1 nautical miles east of Tanjung Siang without permission.
The Chinese vessel failed to submit relevant documents required to anchor in Malaysian waters, the Agency said.
The ship was manned by 32-member male crew comprising 21 Chinese nationals, 10 Bangladeshs and a Malaysian.
Upon inspection, the Malaysian authorities found scrap metal and cannonballs "suspected to be from World War Two", the MMEA noted.
The MMEA added that it is linked to a cache of unexploded artillery, said to be from the two sunken vessels, that police seized from a private scrap yard in Johor state on May 19.
Old shipwrecks are targeted by scavengers for their rare low-background steel, also known as "pre-war steel", the BBC report said.
The low radiation in the steel makes it a rare and valuable resource for use in medical and scientific equipment.
The British vessels, on the bed of the ocean some 100 km off the east coast of Malaysia, had been targeted for decades.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Ukrainian forces, which were encircled in Mariupol for more than ten weeks, inflicted costly losses on Russian invaders while defending the city.
'Despite Russian forces having encircled Mariupol for over ten weeks, staunch Ukrainian resistance delayed Russia's ability to gain full control over the city. This frustrated its early attempts to capture a key city and inflicted costly personnel losses amongst Russian forces,' the UK's Ministry of Defence posted on Twitter .
As noted, in attempting to overcome Ukrainian resistance, Russia had made significant use of“auxiliary personnel”, including several thousand Chechen fighters primarily concentrated in Mariupol and Luhansk sectors. Read also:

'The combat deployment of such disparate personnel demonstrates Russia's significant resourcing problems in Ukraine and is likely contributing to a disunited command which continues to hamper Russia's operations,' the report reads.
As reported, Mariupol experiences one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes caused by Russia's aggression. Russian invaders have destroyed almost all infrastructure facilities and housing, blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid. Read also:

(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) /> Colombo Gazette Home News Sports Business Opinion Advertorial Feature Lifestyle / Events About us Leisure Plus Home News Mangala alarmed by attacks on two Sri Lankan journalists News Mangala alarmed by attacks on two Sri Lankan journalists July 4, 2018 - 23:22 215
Finance and Media Minister Mangala Samaraweera said he was alarmed by the recent attacks on two Sri Lankan journalists who contributed to the New York Times report on massive financial misappropriation linked to the former regime in Sri Lanka.
Samaraweera said that the allegations must be immediately investigated by the relevant authorities and action taken against perpetrators without fear or favour.
"But I am also disturbed with the virulent personal attacks by individuals linked to the JO and the SLPP in a bid to intimidate journalists who worked on the NYT report, attacking them for doing their job in reporting hugely questionable transactions amounting to billions of rupees that occurred under the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime," he said.
Samaraweera said that as Media Minister, he vehemently condemns such practices where journalists are attacked for doing their job.
"There must be an immediate halt to these practices. Further, the SLPP leadership must take full responsibility for these attacks and ensure that there is no repetition of this behaviour," he said.
Samaraweera said that the Government came into power with the promise of media freedom and to break away from the violent tendencies of the previous Government.
"The dark years of the Mahinda Rajapaksa Presidency witnessed the highest number of journalists killed, disappeared, attacked and threatened and media houses attacked. We will not return to those dark years where individuals were targeted for unveiling the truth and reporting facts," he said.
Samaraweera said that the current Government respects fundamental freedoms and civil liberties and upholds media freedom.
He said the Government reiterates its commitment to ensure that all journalists are safe to do their work, even when that means brooking scathing criticism against the current administration by the media. (Colombo Gazette)

(MENAFN) Renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk has reiterated his belief that Ukraine is gradually growing weaker in its conflict with Russia, emphasizing that each passing day of hostilities is diminishing Kiev's standing in potential peace talks. In a recent statement on X (formerly Twitter), Musk expressed his observation that panic is setting in among Ukraine's supporters in the United States, particularly with Republicans in the House of Representatives blocking over USD60 billion in additional aid for Kiev.
Musk engaged in a conversation started by his former PayPal colleague, David Sacks, asserting that some individuals see the ongoing conflict as their last opportunity for significant gains and are willing to make any statements to secure it. Amid the discourse, Musk emphasized the need for a ceasefire and peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, contending that Ukraine has, in his view, lost the war, and no amount of American aid will alter this outcome.
Responding to a comment from the Wall Street Silver account, which predicted that American aid, even if provided, would not change the course of the conflict, Musk concurred. He acknowledged that the crucial question is how many lives will be lost before accepting the reality that Ukraine has lost the war. Musk emphasized that a peace deal should have been reached a year ago, lamenting the thousands of lives lost since then and asserting that Ukraine's position is growing weaker with each passing day.
The discussion sheds light on Musk's perspective on the geopolitical landscape and the urgent need for diplomatic solutions to mitigate the human cost of the conflict. Musk's observations underscore the complexity of the situation and the impact of geopolitical decisions on the lives of those directly affected by the ongoing hostilities.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) On February 27 – finally, almost two years after Sweden's NATO application – Hungary, as the last member country, approved Sweden's membership in the Western defense alliance.
For Sweden, it was truly a historic day, as it was for the four other Nordic countries, all of them now NATO members.
With that, the military and security situation in northern Europe has radically changed. Russia is now facing a united NATO front along its western border, and the Baltic Sea is on all sides surrounded by NATO-members, with the narrow inlet to the Russian city of St Petersburg and the small Russian enclave of Kaliningrad as the only exceptions.
That's most likely not the outcome Vladimir Putin desired, or even foresaw, when he launched his war on Ukraine two years ago. That invasion, and that war, became the final straw for neutral Sweden and Finland to join NATO.
“A historic day,” said Sweden's prime minister Ulf Kristersson. The comment was repeated by many and not only in Sweden, which now has joined the Western defense alliance after 200 years of neutrality – a policy that saved the country from being drawn into World War II in contrast to all its Nordic neighbors.
“We are more secure now as a member of NATO,” said opposition leader Magdalena Anderson, of the Social Democrats. Anderson, then as prime minister, started the membership application process shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine –“a war,” she said on Tuesday, that“Russia must not win.”

(MENAFN - Saudi Press Agency)
Riyadh, February 25, 2021, SPA -- The National Debt Management Center has announced the receipt of subscriptions from investors for its second international issuance under the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Global Note Program in Euro, during which the issuance was more than 3 times oversubscribed with total orders amounting to more than 5 billion Euro.
His Excellency the Minister of Finance and Acting Minister of Economy and Planning, Mr. Mohammed Al-Jadaan, said that the euro-denominated issuance comes within the framework of the Center's efforts to secure the Kingdom's financing needs in accordance with the objectives of the fiscal policy and the public debt strategy. He pointed out that the center took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Euro market, the second largest after the U.S. Dollar market, by issuing debt instruments with negative returns, making it the largest tranche issued with a negative return outside the European Union.
Al-Jadaan indicated that the high demands proved the strength of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's capability to enter different markets without affecting the debt prices in the long term, as well as the economic and financial powers of the Kingdom and the possibility of consolidating and building strategic relationships with investors in different countries of the world.
Al-Jadaan affirmed that the National Debt Management Center, in light of its borrowing strategy, seeks to diversify financing instruments between the local and external markets, with a focus on developing and deepening local debt markets, in addition to seeking access to global debt markets as part of its risk management strategy and obtaining fair prices.
The alternative government financing methods have recently been utilized as part of the Ministry of Finance's plan to support the continuity and completion of major development projects in the Kingdom in order to achieve the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, Al-Jadaan concluded.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) NEW DELHI, Nov 25 (KUNA) -- India on Friday asserted that free, open and rules-based Indo-Pacific is important for the economic development of the region and the wider global community.
Indian Ministry of Defense reported quoting Defense Minister Rajnath Singh while addressing the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi that India stands for free and rules-based Indo-Pacific as it is crucial for economic development of the region and wider global community.
The Indian minister also stressed that dialogue is the only civilised mechanism for resolving disputes and disagreements, and creating regional or global order.
Singh urged the international community to adopt trade and connectivity, capacity building and infrastructural initiatives as ways of working together since they are capable to function as bridges of friendship and ensure mutual benefit.
'I reiterated that it has always been India's endeavour to work with its partners in constructive engagements in the Indo-Pacific region,' Singh said and shed light on the 'Indo-Pacific Ocean Initiative' launched during the East Asia Summit held in Thailand.
He also highlighted the Indian initiatives he announced during the India-ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting held in Cambodia as an effective conflict resolution and lasting peace through a more humane approach.
Singh stressed human equality and dignity, and moral responsibility to strive towards building a secure and just world and exhorted the international community to consider security as a truly collective enterprise in order to create a global order, which is beneficial to all.
'Singh reiterated India's belief in a multi-aligned policy realised through diverse engagements with multiple stakeholders, stressing that addressing the concerns of all is the only way which can lead to shared responsibility and prosperity,' a statement by the ministry said.
He also stressed that India does not believe in a world order where few are considered superior to others. The Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue is an annual international outreach program of the Indian Navy aimed at exchanging ideas and promote deliberations on maritime issues relevant to the Indo-Pacific.
The three-day event saw participation from senior officials from the Indian Armed Forces, Ministry of Shipping, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, senior representatives from Indian industry, diplomatic representatives from missions in India, academia, eminent scholars and experts from abroad.

(MENAFN) The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women has urged the public and private sectors to significantly increase investment to bridge the gender digital divide and promote gender equality in emerging scientific and technological fields. In a document approved by consensus after all-night negotiations at the end of a two-week meeting, the commission expressed grave concern over the interrelation between offline and online violence, harassment, and discrimination against women and girls. It called for a range of efforts to combat these issues and urged zero tolerance for gender-based violence and harassment online.
The Commission on the Status of Women emphasized the need to remove barriers to equal access to digital technology for all women and girls. It called for new policies and programs to achieve gender parity in emerging scientific and technological fields. The document was approved following an intense two-week meeting, which saw UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlight the importance of the commission’s focus, as women and girls are being left behind as technology races ahead.
Sima Bahous, executive director of UN Women, praised the document as “game-changing” for promoting a blueprint for a more equal and connected world for women and girls. However, she noted that the challenge is now to turn the blueprint into a reality for all women and girls.

(MENAFN- Baystreet.ca) Gold Prepares for Worst Week in 5 Months

China's net gold imports via Hong Kong jumped to the highest since June 2018 in October, as buyers in the top consumer stocked up on the metal as a cushion against rising inflation.

Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the region's military administration, announced this on Telegram , Ukrinform reports.
"Four more children from the Kherson region managed to be returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine. This is a 14-year-old girl with a disability, a 12-year-old boy and two 15-year-old boys," the message reads.
The children were forced to attend a Russian school, and their parents were forced to obtain passports of the aggressor country. Teenage boys were put on the military register so that they could be drafted into the occupation army later. This became a good reason for their families to escape from the occupation and return to their homeland.
According to the military administration, the children were returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory with the assistance of the Verkhovna Rada's human rights commissioner.
Since the beginning of 2024, it has been possible to return 52 children from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region.
