JCF losing cops to foreign recruiters, says Montague
National Security Minister Robert Montague has said the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is losing members to neighbouring Caribbean countries.
Addressing members of the Standing Finance Committee of Parliament last night, Montague said the officers are being offered lucrative salaries abroad.
He said representatives of a particular Caribbean country have approached the government requesting 10 officers to work in their jurisdiction.
Montague argued that while the force was being impacted by severe attrition, the recruitment of local officers is an indication of the calibre of personnel that work within the JCF.
At the same time the minister said the government was training more than 300 recruits.
Last year, 524 police personnel left the JCF including persons who retired.

Just like most people, we also believe that like everything else in the world, the game must also be given the time to nurture and come out stronger.

With times being difficult due to the coronavirus restrictions, local and community groups have been stepping in to assist families in their time of need.
From food pantries to those helping others to shop, it takes a village to keep things going.
Fortunately, two organizations in Lawrence County received some much needed help in their missions last week.
First, the Ironton-Lawrence County CAO received more than $60,000 from the federal government, U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio announced.
The CAO has been a force assisting many low-income families in the area, so these funds will be much appreciated.

More than $80,000 is in the fund, which will be distributed to local groups on a fast-track basis.

They continue to be active while schools are closed and are helping to continue food services to children, as well as making their pantry available to the community.
The United Way’s grant will help them to replenish these efforts and keep things going in coming months.
Both of these announcements were much appreciated news and we know the funds will be put to good use.

SRINAGAR: The arrival of 200 companies of paramilitary forces has sparked “apprehension” on social media that the Centre
is contemplating “administrative division” of J&K districts and will “alter” the status of the Union Territory
once again, a “speculation” squarely refuted by IGP-Kashmir range Vijay Kumar.
The rumour was first floated by a junior National Conference
leader, Tanveer Sadiq, on social media that the government of India is contemplating “something big, vis-à-vis Kashmir” and also threw a question: “When is the government planning to detain politicians like in 2019?”
“Some political leaders who were detained after the special status of the state was revoked have expressed apprehension that they feared they could be detained once again,” said Sadiq, who was detained last year.
IGP Kumar, however, said, “The troops arriving are those who went on election duty to West Bengal and other states. They are being re-inducted. It’s not new deployment.”
Some local leaders too have raise concerns, saying this is for the first time that J&K is seeing such a big build-up since August 2019, when J&K’s special status was abrogated and the state was divided into two Union Territories — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Last year, official sources had said that 200 companies were pulled out from J&K and sent to other parts of the country after protests broke out against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

Professor Yvonne Kelly, director of UCL's International Centre for Lifecourse Studies, said the findings suggested a link between “the amount of time young people spend on social media and their levels of literacy”.
Both boys and girls who were heavier users were affected the same. “We looked at whether the more time young people spend on social media, the less time they have for the things that might improve their literacy such as reading for enjoyment and doing homework,” said Professor Kelly.
She said it was now time for the government to consider setting official “healthy” time limits on children’s social media use outside school. Her research also showed heavy users of social media – and particularly girls – were more likely to be depressed.

Schools were torched in the two areas while communities were protesting over a demarcation stalemate.

She was speaking at a gala dinner organised by the Masia traditional council near Vuwani on Monday night.
“Government has approved through the province that we should get initial funding to start work in Malamulele and Vuwani and also at storm damaged schools. The President felt that there are a lot of schools damaged, five years back that we have not been able to respond to some of them. We have initially requested 300 million but they said for now it’s more than 150 million.”
Traditional leaders from the Vuwani area in Limpopo have thanked the Minister for Basic Education for supporting Grade 12 learners who were affected by a prolonged protest action last year.

Pakistan condemns missile attacks on Saudi Arabia
March 26, 2018
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned the Houthi ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia that took place last night. Pakistan commends the Government of Saudi Arabia for destroying the missiles and limiting the casualties, said a statement issued by Foreign Office here. It said government and people of Pakistan reiterate their full support and solidarity with the leadership and the government and people of Saudi Arabia against any threats to its territorial integrity and against the Haramain Sharifain.


Forty-eight percent of voters who watched the vice presidential debate think that Rep. Paul Ryan won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC International nationwide poll conducted right after Thursday night’s faceoff. Forty-four percent say that Vice President Joe Biden was victorious. The Republican running mate’s four point advantage among a debate audience that was more Republican than the country as a whole is within the survey’s sampling error.
Half of all debate watchers questioned in the poll said the showdown didn’t make them more likely to vote for either of the candidates’ bosses, 28% said the debate made them more likely to vote for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and 21% said the faceoff made them more likely to vote to re-elect President Barack Obama.
According to the survey, 55% said that the vice president did better than expected, with 51% saying that the congressman from Wisconsin performed better than expected.
By a 50%-41% margin, debate watchers say that Ryan rather than Biden better expressed himself.
Seven in ten said Biden was seen as spending more time attacking his opponent, and that may be a contributing factor in Ryan’s 53%-43% advantage on being more likable. Ryan also had a slight advantage on being more in touch with the problems of average Americans.


Pakistan Today Editor and senior anchorperson Arif Nizami on Tuesday said that the real objective of the government’s new measures of establishing media tribunals was to pressurise the media into towing the government’s line.
Commenting on the development during his prime time show on Channel 92, Nizami said that Prime Minister Imran Khan needed to realise that he – in his capacity as the President of the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) – along with other members of the press had devoted years of struggle for media freedom.
He added that it was owing to his efforts as the CPNE president that the draconian Press and Publication Ordinance was brought down.
Under the new regulations, the media would not be allowed to criticise or question any public office holder.
He said that despite Firdous Ashiq Awan’s statement that all major media stakeholders were taken on board, none of those “stakeholders” were mentioned in her statement.
Nizami said that he was not contacted by any government representative regarding the implementation of the new policy despite being the CPNE president. He added that the media was not opposed to regulation but would resist unnecessary pressure.
He said the CPNE is meeting in Karachi on Thursday in which the government’s new measures would be discussed.
Nizami said that media bodies such as the CPNE. Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA), All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) and press clubs would also be formulating a joint policy to oppose the government’s measures.
He said the media was facing a host of problems. On the one hand, it was having to face prohibitions imposed by the government and on the other hand commercial pressure was being exerted which was causing serious financial hardships to employees and media persons.


Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday called upon the media to create awareness among people against the use of violence in the country.

According to a government statement, he also urged the state’s Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to “deal firmly with political violence in the state”.
To Keralites, who recently braved the worst floods to hit the state in decades, the Union Minister said the government is committed to helping mitigate their sufferings, and to rehabilitate flood victims and reconstruct the state.
He said that an inter-ministerial central team has completed its visit to the state and it would soon submit its report for consideration, according to the statement.
The Union Home Minister also lauded the role of fishermen who saved hundreds of lives during the Kerala floods.

People have shown the red light to the Government for not taking appropriate action against those who plundered public funds, Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake said yesterday.
Mr. Ramanayake, who was voicing his opinion on the outcome of the 2018 Local Government elections, said the people had shown a red light as it did not keep its word on taking action against the corrupt personalities.
“The Government did not arrest anyone who engaged in robbing public funds during the earlier regime, during the last three years and the people have protested against it. Those who were accused in the Bond Scam were arrested but that was too late as it was done in the last stages of the elections,” he added.
Mr. Ramanayake said the results would have been different if all those who had been found to have robbed public funds and abused their powers were put behind bars. (Yohan Perera)

Floods bring members to SES groups
FLOODS across the state have taken a terrible toll on victims and put volunteers through the wringer – but they have also been a good advertisement for the incredible work done by groups such as the SES.
SES controllers in the region said their organisations relied on strong membership to be effective and, after facing the devastation and clean-up of the floods, interest in their work was at an all-time high.
“Membership is pretty strong in Bundaberg, with just over 200 members,” Bundaberg district controller Bill Daniells said.
“Since the floods, we have received a lot of expressions of interest, but we won’t know (how many we get) until February, when the next round of training starts.”
Mr Daniells said there had been a lot of positive feedback from the public and local businesses since the floods.
Childers SES senior training officer Elise Cottam said it was important to have a strong group of reliable members during a crisis.
“We have 15 die-hard members who live and breathe SES,” she said.
“There are also members who only come in when a crisis hits because not all of them can do it every week.”
She said SES membership in Childers had been steady in the past 12 months, with increased interest in the past month.
“Numbers have increased since the recent floods and we have two new members about to start,” she said.
Mrs Cottam said the floods were a good advertisement for local SES branches.
“When things like this happen, it’s a tragedy, but it’s also a positive thing because people realise this stuff can happen,” she said.

Opposition Members of Parliament are planning to force government to issue a statement on the matter of the presidential armoured cars which President Michael Sata claimed were missing.
The Zambian government procured four armoured 4×4 Lexus motor vehicles at K3.6 billion fromGermanyfor presidential escorts.
Two of the vehicles were delivered to State House while the other two are still inGermany, according to police contacts.

The weather in Columbus, Mississipi this January has been unusually wet and rainy, which is a departure from the usual cold and dry conditions. Chief Meteorologist Isaac Williams mentioned that the month usually sees about three or four inches of rain, but the recent week alone brought around 7 and a half inches. This has caused some local flooding, with rivers and smaller bodies of water swelling. However, the rain has also helped alleviate the drought situation that the area had been facing since last year, reducing the risk of fires and eliminating the need for burn bans that were previously in effect. Lowndes County Emergency Services Director Cindy Lawrence also stated that the rain has had a positive impact on the drought and is expected to reduce the number of grass fires that have been occurring. Overall, while the weather has presented some challenges such as flooding, it has also brought important relief from dry conditions and reduced the risk of fires.

The league will also start providing a Facebook Live video feed that will be available to fans in 2018-19.
Players will be able to post comments and photos to their Facebook accounts on the new platform.

The Chintan Shivir of the Telangana Congress saw some members raising the issue of respect for seniority, which they claimed was lacking in the party, and won’t do any good if the issue was not addressed too seriously.
Some leaders raised the issue in the Committee on Organisation that discussed the ongoing party activities and the utilisation of human resources. Questions were also raised on the functioning of the Disciplinary Committee, which they said needed to be more open and unbiased. Ignorance of district level leaders was also a huge concern, some members argued, as they were key in strengthening the party at the district level.
Later, briefing the media, CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka said that healthy discussions at the Chintan Shivir would pave the way for dethroning the KCR government in Telangana, which was “pushed into a debt trap by the Chief Minister”.
He said that the meeting discussed how the BJP was trying to destroy the country with its “divisive policies and stoking communal feelings among people in Telangana for political gains”. He said that everyone has a role to play in ensuring that the Constitution of India was saved as the BJP was hell-bent on destroying it.
He also said that the six committees formed on various issues had fruitful discussions with the members giving their feedback. The outcome of these committees will be discussed further and resolutions would be passed.
The committees will lead to serious discussions and the outcome will result in the Congress policy for the next elections in Telangana.
The outcome of the AICC Chintan Shivir held at Udaipur will give the roadmap for the formulation of Telangana policy with issues specific to the State. The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) will also discuss the reports before taking them to the people.
AICC in-charge of Telangana Manickam Tagore, and AICC secretaries Bose Raju and Sreenivas Krishnan were present.
