(MENAFN- AFP) Cyprus's recession-hit economy contracted by 0.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, a slight improvement on the 0.9 percent drop in the previous three months, revised official data showed Tuesday.
A flash estimate issued last month had the economy declining 1.0 percent in the fibal quarter versus 1.1 percent in the three months to September.But the 10th successive quarterly decline in the Mediterranean island's economy was milder than predicted by the government and the international lenders who bailed the cash-strapped eurozone country out in March 2013.The latest estimate shows that real GDP, based on seasonally and working-day adjusted data, shrank 5.0 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier. A flash estimate in February put it at a higher 5.3 percent for October to December.In January, the finance ministry had forecast 2013 GDP would fall by 5.5 percent, revising the expected decline from a figure of 8.7 percent anticipated last March when the bailout was secured.International lenders forecast GDP to decline by another 4.8 percent this year before posting one percent growth in 2015.The only bright spot in fourth quarter performance was an improvement in tourism revenue, while construction, manufacturing, electricity, transport, trade, banking and services all declined.Cyprus passed this week its third review by the "troika" of lenders -- the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund -- who granted it a 10-billion euro loan last year to bail out the economy.Once the evaluation is formally approved, Cyprus will be able to receive the next tranche of the loan.

(MENAFN) According to data released by the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO), Iran has produced 206,887 tons of alumina powder during the first 11 months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21, 2022-February 19, 2023). This figure demonstrates a two percent decrease compared to the output produced in the 11-month period of the previous year, which was 211,499 tons.
Aluminum oxide, commonly known as alumina, is an odorless, white, amorphous material that is extensively used in industrial ceramics. Alumina is an essential ceramic material for industrial applications, including construction materials, filling materials, abrasives, and catalysts. In plants and mechanical engineering, alumina ceramics are primarily utilized for wear and corrosion protection.
The particle size distribution of alumina powder considerably determines its application range and quality. Therefore, accurately identifying particle size differences is an essential requirement of the measuring instrument.
Due to the importance of alumina, its production plays a significant role in the Iranian economy. The country has implemented numerous policies to increase production capacity and improve the quality of alumina powder. Iran has vast reserves of bauxite, the primary raw material used in the production of alumina, which gives the country a competitive advantage in the global alumina market.
However, the decline in alumina powder production in the current Iranian calendar year compared to the previous year may be attributed to various factors, including changes in market demand, fluctuations in global aluminum prices, and supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the challenges, Iran remains committed to the development of its alumina industry. The country's alumina powder production is expected to rebound as the global market recovers from the pandemic, and the government continues to invest in the industry's growth.
In conclusion, the production of alumina powder is a vital segment of Iran's economy. The country's policies to enhance production capacity and improve product quality indicate its commitment to the industry's advancement. As the global market recovers, Iran's alumina powder production is expected to grow, contributing to the country's economic growth and development.

(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
DUBAI, 4th May, 2018 (WAM) -- As world powers debate the effectiveness of the Iran nuclear deal amid a fast-approaching deadline for United States President Donald Trump to decide whether the US will pull out of the agreement or not, more examples of Iran's meddling in the region present themselves, a local newspaper has commented.
The revelation emerged when Morocco said it had undisputed evidence of foul play and decided to sever its relations with Iran, a move that was applauded by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE.
"What critics of the nuclear deal have been saying for a long time now is that the deal needs better mechanisms to rein in Iranian adventurism, including tougher restrictions on its ballistic missiles programme, unfettered access to its nuclear sites and pressure to get Iran to stop funding and arming proxy groups in the Middle East. They say the deal has emboldened Iran and encouraged it to spread its tentacles across the Middle East where it wishes to become a regional superpower," the Gulf News wrote in its editorial published today.
While Iran's interference in Morocco has been documented in the past through its support of the Moroccan armed opposition group Chabiba Islamiya during the reign of King Hassan II, the current King Mohammad VI's father, the latest revelations show Tehran's renewed interest in destabilising Morocco. "This escalation needs to be examined carefully when world leaders are ironing out details to toughen the Iranian nuclear deal," the paper added.
In its concluding remarks the Dubai-based English language newspaper said, "It is important that the deal be fixed to address these gaping holes, which allow it to do as it pleases with little or no repercussions from the international community."

Euro zone finance ministers agreed at an informal Cyprus meeting on Friday to give indebted Greece a bigger window to implement spending cuts, as the country struggles to qualify for the next 33.5 billion-euro tranche of its second 130 billion-euro bailout.
Eurogroup, pending a final decision in October, signaled Athens is not likely to receive more money, but probably get a two-year extension to implement economic and structural overhaul, as economic recession cripples Spain`s ability to deliver.
Two days after Germany`s Federal Constitutional Court gave the green light for the bloc`s permanent rescue fund, Eurogroup Chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said the EU and IMF must take a decision by October-end to review the Greek debt-cutting plan.
Juncker added that there was no question of Greece exiting the euro zone. He called on Greek government and international lenders to devise "game changers" and agree on a "set of credible measures to close the fiscal gap between 2013 and 2014".
Troika of European Commission, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, are expected to furnish a report on the state of Greece`s economy, and based of that report, the Eurogroup will discuss Greece`s finances in Luxemburg on October 8.
Spain topped the agenda in the Cypriot capital, where EU finance ministers and officials had discussed Spain`s public finances. Juncker said Spain is sticking to reforms and the ministers were positive that the fiscal target for this year "remains within reach".
Spain will "draw up a National Reform Program by the end of September based on recommendation of the EU with the regular commitments and precise timetables." European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn reportedly said on Friday.
Its remains unclear whether Madrid would tap a full-blown bailout beyond the 100 billion euro it has already requested for its ailing banks. None of the officials made any reference about the matter, and Spain itself has still taken no decision to seek further aid.

(MENAFN) Germany's national railway operator, Deutsche Bahn, experienced significant disruptions on Thursday due to a 20-hour strike initiated by the GDL union. The strike, which commenced at 10 p.m. on Wednesday and concluded at 6 PM on Thursday, resulted in a substantially reduced schedule. Such "warning strikes" are a common strategy in German wage negotiations.
Deutsche Bahn, a state-owned entity, anticipated running only about 20 percent of its regular long-distance services during the strike. While regional and local services were also impacted, the extent varied, as some are operated by private entities not targeted by the strike.
The ongoing dispute between Deutsche Bahn and GDL is proving challenging in its early stages. A key point of contention is the union's demand for a reduction in shift workers' weekly hours from 38 to 35 without a corresponding pay cut—a proposal met with resistance from the company.
GDL is advocating for a monthly raise of 555 euros (USD593) for employees, along with a payment of up to 3,000 euros (USD3,257) to counter inflation. Despite Deutsche Bahn offering an 11 percent raise during negotiations that began last week, the talks hit a roadblock, leading to the strike. Scheduled negotiations for Thursday were canceled by Deutsche Bahn in response to GDL's call for the strike.
This dispute follows the resolution of a previous conflict between Deutsche Bahn and the larger, traditionally less confrontational EVG union earlier this year. Both parties accepted an arbitrator's proposal to settle their differences.

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer)
SRINAGAR- Real Kashmir FC is all set to face defending champions Gokulam Kerala FC in I-League 2022-23 at the EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode, Kerala today, Friday, January 20.
Both teams are on same number of points (18) after 11 matches, with Real Kashmir leading in goals scored (11). The match is slated for kick off at 4:30 pm.
Real Kashmir have been held to two draws against Aizawl and Sudeva Delhi since the start of 2023. Gokulam Kerala, on the other hand, won 1-0 against Churchill Brothers FC and lost 1-2 to TRAU FC in their previous match.
Snow Leopards’ head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo is aware of the fixture’s importance in helping the Srinagar-based side stay in the Top 5 positions of the I-League table and wants his team to win the game against Gokulam.
“If you see the table, there is not much difference between the teams. To stay among the top 4-5 teams, it is imperative that we win tomorrow,” he told I-League.
However, Real Kashmir’s recent dip in form is a cause for concern and Wadoo is hoping for a turnaround in the match against the Kerala outfit.
“Our form has really gone down. Injuries and suspensions have played their part in that, but I do not want to give any excuses. I am particularly not happy with the draws in the last two games. Tomorrow is the day where we should start the turnaround,” Wadoo added.

Putin visits Russian-occupied Mariupol in Ukraine for first time as ICC issues arrest warrant
(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the war-torn port city of Mariupol in Ukraine's Donbas region over the weekend, marking his first trip to the Russian-occupied territories of the region since the conflict began. The visit followed Putin's unannounced trip to Crimea on Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of Russia's annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine. This visit comes just two days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Putin has yet to comment on the ICC warrant, but his trips into Ukrainian territory, claimed by Russia, were viewed by some observers as an act of defiance.
Mariupol fell to Russia in May 2014, after one of the war's longest and bloodiest battles, marking Russia's first significant victory in southeastern Ukraine, after its failed attempt to seize Kyiv. The Organization for Security and Cooperation and Europe (OSCE) accused Russia of committing a war crime by bombing a maternity hospital in Mariupol early in the conflict.
Russian news agencies reported that Putin flew by helicopter to Mariupol for "a working trip." He traveled around several districts of the city, making stops and talking to residents. It is the closest Putin has been to the front lines since the year-long war began.

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Beirut, June 27 (Petra)-Jordan is taking part in the 30th ministerial session of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for West Asia (ESCWA), dubbed "Technology for Sustainable Development in the Arab Region, " which began its deliberations in Beirut today under the auspices of the Lebanese President Michel Aoun.
"Sustainable development seeks to save societies from their current problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease while providing a dignified life for future generations," Aoun told the participants of the ESCWA event.
"ESCWA's activity has been outstanding ever since it was established and started functioning in Beirut 44 years ago," Aoun pointed out, and highlighted ESCWA's key role to improve living conditions in Arab communities, a bid achieved through combatting impoverishment and poverty, and boosting education, healthcare, and gender equality with the preservation of the rights of future generations.
"We are proud to welcome the Ministerial Session back to Beirut this year, as the last one organized in Lebanon was in 2012," said Mohamed Ali Alhakim, the Executive Secretary of ESCWA.
"Since the industrial revolutions, technology has acquired an important role in everyday life," Alhakim stressed. "New and emerging technologies are shaping the world as we know it today with leapfrog progress, which requires institutional frameworks and multi-stakeholder cooperation that can support these changes." The Ministerial Session is expected to feature three moderated roundtables to generate discussions with policymakers and civil society leaders. These will address integrating technology and innovation into national development planning; prerequisites for technological change to achieve inclusiveness while preserving natural resources; and policies and regulations governing frontier technologies in Arab countries to address national priorities such as youth unemployment, poverty alleviation and economic diversification.
One of the five UN regional commissions, ESCWA was created in order to fulfil the economic and social goals set out in the UN Charter by promoting cooperation and integration between countries in each region of the world.

(MENAFN) Official data released by Brazil's Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) on Thursday showed that the country's industrial production contracted by 0.3 percent on a monthly basis in January. This figure met market expectations, following a 0.1 percent decline in December 2022. The decline in production was largely driven by a 13 percent month-on-month decrease in the production of pharmaceutical products. The motor vehicle industry also saw a decrease of 6 percent, while food products fell by 2.1 percent.
On an annual basis, Brazil's industrial production grew by 0.3 percent in January, according to the IBGE statement. However, this figure fell short of market expectations, which had predicted an increase of 1.3 percent. Despite the overall decline in production, some sectors showed growth on an annual basis, such as the production of machinery and equipment, which increased by 20.5 percent, and the production of electronic equipment and appliances, which grew by 11.7 percent.
The decline in Brazil's industrial production comes amid a challenging economic environment, marked by high inflation, rising interest rates, and ongoing supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has taken measures to address these challenges, including fiscal reforms and monetary policy adjustments. However, the impact of these measures on the industrial sector remains to be seen.
The decline in industrial production is a cause for concern, as this sector is a key driver of Brazil's economy, accounting for around one-third of the country's GDP. The government will need to continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate measures to support the industrial sector and ensure sustainable economic growth.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
: An Air India flight which departed from Dubai to Delhi was forced to return to Dubai International Airport (DXB) late Tuesday (Jan 30) evening due to a 'technical issue'.
The Boeing 787-8 aircraft landed safely at DXB for precautionary checks.
“AI930 air-returned due to a technical issue detected shortly after take-off,” an Air India spokesperson told Gulf News.“The flight landed safely back at Dubai for precautionary checks in the interest of the safety of passengers and crew,” the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson said that passengers were provided hotel accommodation, alternative flight options, or rescheduling of dates. However, the total number of passengers on board could not be immediately ascertained.
Dense Delhi fog causes delays
Moreover, the dense fog and poor visibility have caused travel chaos in India's capital, Delhi, with dozens of flights affected.
According to the flight tracking app flightradar24, hundreds of departing flights were delayed by 25 minutes on average, and flight arrivals were delayed by eight minutes.
According to Dubai International Airport's website data, multiple flights departing from Dubai to Delhi were delayed on Wednesday and Thursday. Air India flight AI918 from Dubai to Delhi, scheduled for departure on February 1, 1.10 pm, has been delayed by an hour and five minutes.
Spice Jet (SG006) and IndiGo (6E1908), also scheduled for departure from Dubai on Thursday, have suffered delays of over an hour.
Delhi airport authorities issued a flight advisory on Monday, asking passengers to contact their airlines to check for updated flight information.
“While landings and take-offs continue at Delhi airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected,” the advisory read. CAT III runways make it possible for planes to land during poor visibility.

That's according to Mykhailo Podolyak , an advisor to the chief of the Ukrainian President's Office.
“To talk with RF, you need to have the right negotiating position. It has 4 simple components: 1. Long-range artillery, MLRS and ACTAMS to destroy Russian logistics. 2. Air defense to protect cities. 3. Shock drones – the best hunters. 4. Armored vehicles for counter-offensives,” Podolyak tweeted on Thursday, August 5. Read also:

Modi commissions submarine INS Kalvari, dedicates it to the nation
14 Dec 2017
PM Narendra Modi has commissioned INS Kalvari, the first of six French-designed Scorpene-class diesel-electric attack submarines, into the Indian Navy in Mumbai.
He said the submarine, which was constructed by Mazgaon Docks Limited (MDL) in Mumbai "is a fine example of the fast-growing strategic partnership between India and France."
The state-of-the-art stealthy submarine gives a much-needed boost to the Navy's dwindling submarine arm.
Modi hails Navy's role in securing India's maritime boundaries
"I thank all those workers associated with INS Kalvari," said Modi.
"Today is a day of pride. I would like to congratulate all the citizens of this country on this historic occasion."
He said the 21st century is "Asia's century" and that the continent's development will go through India.
He hailed the Navy's role in fighting terrorism, piracy, smuggling and other illegal activities.
INS Kalvari named after India's first-ever commissioned submarine
The state-of-the-art INS Kalavari, means Tiger Shark, comes with superior stealth and the ability to launch attacks on enemy ships and submarines using precision torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.
It derives its name from India's first submarine, the INS Kalvari, a Soviet Foxtrot-class vessel commissioned by the Navy on December 8, 1967.
Recently, the Indian Navy's submarine arm celebrated its golden jubilee.
Scorpene-class submarines to boost India's dwindling submarine arm
The INS Khanderi, the second Scorpene-class submarine, is undergoing sea trials and will be inducted soon. MDL will deliver the rest to the Navy by 2020.
Currently, the Navy has just 15 submarines, including the four of the German HDW Shishumar-class, nine of the Russian Kilo-class, one nuclear-powered Russian Akula-class attack submarine and the indigenous nuclear-powered INS Arihant ballistic missile submarine.

In his opening speech, Hneifat stressed that Jordan is aware about the importance of cultivating certain varieties of dates with high economic returns, such as Medjool and Barhi dates.
Additionally, the ministry seeks to encourage non-traditional crops that meet the needs of local and international markets in accordance with quality and food safety standards.

Its production constitutes about 14 per cent of global production, noting that the ministry is looking forward to reaching one million Medjool date palms.
UAE Ambassador to Jordan Ahmed Al Balushi said that the festival confirms the depth of historical relations among the countries and their close cooperation.
KIAAI Secretary General Abdel Wahab Zayed highlighted the role of the partnership between the award organisers and the concerned authorities in Jordan and international organisations in this festival's success.

(MENAFN- P&S Intelligence) Germany is the first nation in the world to authorize semi- and fully autonomous driving features. In December 2016, the federal government announced its support for the development of autonomous driving infrastructure in the nation. In January 2017, the country amended the Road Traffic Act to allow drivers to transfer the control of vehicles to fully automated driving systems and permit these vehicles to be used on public roads. This amendment has allowed the public usage of level 3 autonomous features. Similarly, in February 2021, the government adopted a draft bill to allow level 4 features-enabled automobiles on public roads.
Additionally, the government is also offering grants, subsidies, and other financial benefits to producers and customers of semi- and fully autonomous vehicles. Owing to the surging government support, the German autonomous vehicles market will accelerate at a CAGR of 20.2% during 2023–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market is expected to reach $28.0 billion by 2030. The financial support and favorable policies are encouraging major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and technology providers to work on level 4 and level 5 autonomous vehicles.
The rising preference for autonomous vehicles in Germany can also be credited to the surging need for efficient and safe driving options. As road congestion is escalating at a considerable rate and causing numerous road accidents, which result in grave injuries and fatalities, the requirement for autonomous systems has significantly increased in the country. Since road accidents are mostly caused due to human errors, such as inappropriate speed, failure to pay attention while driving, and unsafe distance from the automobile moving ahead, automakers are increasingly offering advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)-equipped semi-autonomous vehicles.
Thus, the rising government support and growing focus on vehicle safety are supplementing the development and production of autonomous vehicles in Germany.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Honda Motor has revealed that it is developing a flying car. He plans to make the vehicle capable of relatively long-haul flights using the technologies he has accumulated in his business jet project, Trend reports citing NHK.
Honda says it has developed electric vertical take-off and landing, or eVTOL, planes with the goal of launching it in 2030 or later. Flying cars are gaining attention as a new generation mode of transportation.
The Japanese company claims that many similar vehicles currently being developed by other domestic and foreign companies have a flight range of around 100 kilometers.
But Honda says its eVTOL will offer a range of 400 kilometers and allow transportation between cities.
Honda says it will develop the vehicle by leveraging the expertise it has gained in its plan to create a compact business jet known as the HondaJet. He says the know-how will include electrification technologies for a gas turbine hybrid power unit.
Honda plans to conduct test flights of its eVTOL in the United States as early as 2023.
The company also says it will develop avatar bots with which their users can perform tasks and experiment with things remotely.
He says he is also developing small rockets with the aim of using them as launch vehicles for satellites in low earth orbit. He says he aims to make rockets reusable by allowing at least some of their components to land on Earth after they are launched.
Honda president and R&D director Ohtsu Kenji told a press conference that the company hopes to expand into new areas by creating technologies and products based on existing core technologies it owns. .

Chinese FM urges for comprehensive, lasting cease-fire in Gaza
(MENAFN) On Wednesday, China's foreign minister urged for a "comprehensive and lasting cease-fire" in Gaza, and expressed optimism that the ongoing humanitarian pause is not going to be a "hiatus before a new round of offensive"
"We should work for a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire with the greatest urgency there is no safe area under gunfire and letting the fighting drag on would only bring more deaths and damage," Wang Yi stated while addressing a UN Security Council meeting on the condition in the Middle East.
Wang observed that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in a significant loss of innocent lives, an unparalleled humanitarian crisis, as well as the ongoing emergence of "spillover effects."
"China strongly hopes that the past days of pause will not be a hiatus before a new round of offensive but rather the beginning of further diplomatic efforts for a comprehensive and lasting cease-fire," he declared.
Any act that breaches international law, and specifically international humanitarian law, must be denounced, Wang stated.
"China reiterates our opposition to the collective punishment of people in Gaza and our opposition to the forced transfer targeting Palestinian civilians," he further mentioned.
Wang underlined the necessity to "revitalize the political prospects of the two-state solution with stronger determination."
According to Wang, China promotes the idea of convening a more extensive and impactful international peace conference and backs Palestine's aspirations to attain full membership in the United Nations.
