Lambsdorff befürchtet dramatische Eskalation zwischen Iran und USA

Date:03.02.2020 Nach dem US-Luftangriff in Bagdad fordert Grünen-Politiker Omid Nouripour den sofortigen Abzug der Bundeswehr-Soldaten. Es sei "dringend notwendig, dass die Bundeswehrangehörigen so schnell wie möglich aus dem Irak herauskommen, weil sie dort schlicht nicht mehr sicher sind". Die Region stehe "am Anfang einer massiven militärischen Eskalation am Golf, wie wir sie bisher noch nicht hatten". Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der FDP-Bundestagsfraktion Alexander Graf Lambsdorff hält den Abzug der deutschen Soldaten aus Irak möglicherweise für zwingend. "Es kann sein, dass wir auch sie zurückziehen müssen. Vielleicht verlegen nach Jordanien, um dort die Ausbildung weiterzumachen. Aber natürlich ist die Lage im Irak brandgefährlich", sagte Graf Lambsdorff. FDP-Chef Christian Lindner brachte eine zeitweisen Abzug ins Spiel. Der Großteil der deutschen Soldaten ist im nordirakischen Kurdengebiet stationiert. Für das Ausbildungsprogramm dort gab es nach Angaben des Einsatzführungskommandos der Bundeswehr in Potsdam keine neuen Sicherheitsauflagen. In Erbil seien derzeit etwa 90 Soldaten, während es in Bagdad bis zu fünf seien. In Tadschi seien 27 deutsche Soldaten in einem internationalen Camp. Die Bundesregierung rief dazu auf, durch Besonnenheit und Zurückhaltung zu einer Deeskalation beizutragen. "Das amerikanische Vorgehen ist eine Reaktion auf eine ganze Reihe von militärischen Provokationen, für die der Iran Verantwortung trägt", sagte Vizeregierungssprecherin Ulrike Demmer. Sie verwies auf Angriffe auf Öl-Tanker in der Straße von Hormus und auf eine Öl-Anlage in Saudi-Arabien. "Auch wir sehen die regionalen Aktivitäten des Iran mit großer Besorgnis", sagte Demmer. "Wir sind an einem gefährlichen Eskalationspunkt." Ein Sprecher des Auswärtigen Amtes verwies darauf, dass das Außenministerium seit geraumer Zeit von Reisen in den Irak abrate. Es hielten sich nur sehr wenige Deutsche dort auf. Bei einem US-Luftangriff auf den internationalen Flughafen in Bagdad war der Kommandeur der iranischen Kuds-Brigaden, Kassem Soleimani, getötet worden. (Caption:5027GE-DEUTSCHLAND-LAMBSDORFF_IRAN)

China tightens preventive measures to curb novel coronavirus

Chinese authorities have launched a series of preventive and control measures to curb the spreading of the novel coronavirus-related pneumonia. Scientific research institutions quickly developed the reagent test kits, which sped up disease confirmation. The outbreak started in Wuhan in Hubei Province. By Thursday, more than 800 confirmed cases had been reported in 29 provincial-level regions. Among them 25 people died. The National Health Commission (NHC) has issued a prevention and control plan, which has been continuously updated in accordance with the development of the pneumonia situation. China's Finance Ministry has allocated about 145 million U.S. dollars to support Hubei Province's battle against the deadly novel coronavirus. China's Ministry of Education said education administrations and schools across the country should not hold mass gatherings or examinations during the viral pneumonia outbreak. And in Wuhan, all public transportation, including city buses, subways, ferries and long-distance coaches have been suspended, and outbound channels at airports and railway stations have also been closed until further notice.

Italy "a magnet" for Chinese tourists in 2020: ENIT

Italy promises to be "a magnet" for Chinese visitors in 2020, the National Tourism Board (ENIT), a public entity that promotes the country as a tourist destination, said in a statement on Thursday. "New challenges and new routes will stem from the China-Italy Year -- a beneficial nourishment for the (Italian) peninsula, which is launching new strategies for innovation that place culture centre-stage within the offers dedicated to Chinese travelers," Maria Elena Rossi, ENIT's marketing and promotion director, said in the statement. According to the ENIT Research Department, 84 percent of Chinese tourism operators surveyed by ENIT reported a positive outlook for the first quarter of 2020 in terms of travel to Italy. "Some reported 30-50 percent increases (in bookings in Italy) compared to the same period in 2019," ENIT Executive Director Giovanni Bastianelli said in the statement. Chinese tourism in Italy is on an upward trend, with arrivals up by a whopping 16 percent in January-November 2019 compared to the same period the previous year and with average stays ranging from 9-13 nights, according to ENIT data. Chinese visitors spent over 650 million euros (718 million U.S. dollars) in Italy last year, up 40.8 percent year-on-year. This compares to 40 billion euros spent by all international tourists in Italy between January and October 2019, according to the ENIT. Last year, the preferred destinations by Chinese visitors were the northern Lombardy region, whose capital is Milan, and the central Lazio region, whose capital is Rome. These were followed by Tuscany, whose capital is Florence and the Veneto region, where Venice is the capital. The National Tourism Board also announced that it plans to open two new offices in the Chinese mainland: one in Shanghai and one in Guangzhou, in order to "reinforce the growing interest in Italy." The ENIT currently has offices in Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Mumbai and Tel Aviv, as well as in Europe and North and South America. Also on the drawing board are plans to consolidate ENIT's partnership with the Chinese tourism portal Ctrip, which is a leader in terms of transportation, hotel and package bookings. The ENIT added that along with Italian regional authorities and private stakeholders, it will participate in key travel fairs in China, including the Guangzhou International Travel Fair (GITF) and the annual Global Tourism Economy Forum (GTEF), which is attended by political leaders, tourism ministers, chief executives and sector experts.

Pence says White House to release Mideast peace plan next week

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence announced Thursday during a visit to Jerusalem that the White House plans to release its plan for peace in the Middle East next week in Washington. In joint statements with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pence said that U.S. President Donald Trump requested him to extend an invitation to Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz to arrive in Washington "to discuss regional issues and the possibility of peace in the Holy Land." SOUNDBITE (English): MIKE PENCE, U.S. Vice President "President Trump asked me to extend an invitation to the Prime Minister Netanyahu to come to the White house next week to discuss regional issues as well as the prospect of peace here in the holy land. As the Prime Minister suggestion, I also extended an invitation to Benny Gantz, the leader of the Blue and White party and he has excepted the invitation to join the Prime Minister with the president at the White House." Netanyahu said he suggested the White House would invite Gantz as well, "because I think it is important that we not lose this historic opportunity with such friends in the White House." "We should get as broad consensus as possible," said Netanyahu. The statements were made ahead of a meeting between Pence and Netanyahu in the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. The unveiling of the long-awaiting peace plan comes as both Netanyahu and Gantz pledged to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank if they win Israel's upcoming national elections on March 2. The move is considered highly controversial among most of the international community and is likely to spark Palestinian protest. Trump has postponed several times the publication of his "Deal of the Century" for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The economic part of Trump's peace plan was unveiled during a U.S.-led conference in Bahrain last June, a convention boycotted by the Palestinians. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas severed ties with the Trump administration in 2017 after the U.S. recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The last round of peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians broke down in 2014 amid Israeli expansion of the settlements in the West Bank. Israel seized the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and has since controlled or blockaded them despite international criticism. The Palestinians wish to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Jerusalem. (XHTV)

UN releases 10 mln USD for aerial spraying against E. Africa locusts

The United Nations has released 10 million U.S. dollars for aerial pesticide spraying in response to the worst locust outbreak in decades to hit East Africa, a UN spokesman said Thursday. The outbreak is affecting the Horn of Africa, Southwest Asia and the Red Sea, said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. He said that Mark Lowcock, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, released the money from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). SOUNDBITE 1 (English): FARHAN HAQ, Deputy spokesperson for UN Secretary-General "This outbreak is affecting the Horn of Africa, Southwest Asia and the Red Sea. It is the worst of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia and the worst Kenya has seen in 70 years. Crops are being wiped out in communities that were already facing food shortages. The outbreak is exacerbating the impacts of climate change already being felt in this region." The allocation will go to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the UN food agency, to fund an increase in aerial pesticide spraying operations, the spokesman told reporters at a daily briefing. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): FARHAN HAQ, Deputy spokesperson for UN Secretary-General "Mr. Lowcock said that we must act now, noting that, if left unchecked, this outbreak has the potential to spill over into more countries in East Africa with horrendous consequences. A swift and determined response to contain it is essential, he has stressed." Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from the UN Headquarters. (XHTV)

Chinese engineer stays on duty on Lunar New Year's Eve in Turkey

One day before the Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve when most families enjoy a dinner gathering at home, Peng Lianghai, an engineer from China, was checking equipment and recording data alone at an energy plant in Turkey's central province of Aksaray.    SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): PENG LIANGHAI, Chinese engineer "It was the fourth year in a row that I spent the Spring Festival in Turkey since I have become the engineer of the Lake Tuz (Salt Lake) Natural Gas Storage project in 2014." Turkey is a country nearly 6,000 kilometers away from his hometown of China's southeastern province of Jiangxi.    "I miss my family very much, but my work needs me to be on duty 24 hours, so duty comes first," he said, adding that he would send his blessings to his family this year via video chatting. Peng works for the Lake Tuz (Salt Lake) Natural Gas Storage project, which was located along the route of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) proposed by China in 2013. It was jointly launched in 2011 by the China National Chemical Engineering Corporation (CNCEC) and Turkey's Petroleum Pipeline Company (BOTAS).    Only 26 kilometers away from the main pipeline network that transfers gas from Russia to Europe, the project can store up to 1 billion cubic meters of natural gas once completed.    According to Peng, the project has one of the biggest storage capacities around the world, as it smartly makes full use of the huge space under the Salt Lake.    "There are rich salt reserves under the lake. We first flood water underground to dissolve it, then we pump out the brine and inject compressed natural gas into the emptied room and store it," he told Xinhua.   The storage will be released for use when Turkey runs short of energy supplies, thus, the project provides an effective solution to the energy deficit in Turkey and will be of strategic importance to Turkey's energy security.    Zhou Shili, a manager of the Tianchen Engineering Company of CNCEC, said the brine that the project generates will be poured into the Salt Lake, which substantially reduces pollution and helps replenish the lake which is reportedly drying every year. Peng, who has come to Turkey to work for the project since 2014, said he has got used to working for more than 24 hours incessantly. "Many of our tasks require us to stay on site for over 24 hours in a row, even if sometimes it is more than 20 degrees below zero outdoors," he said. "When it becomes too freezing to stay outside, we use a container as a temporary shelter." Peng said the project was constructed under the coordination of various international parties, enabling him to gain valuable experience in cooperating with overseas partners. "I feel honored and proud to be part of it."     Over 70 kilometers away from the nearest city of Aksaray, life on the project site is dull and boring. The young Chinese engineer said he and his colleagues would play football, table tennis or chess during their rest time.   "Like previously, for this year's Spring Festival eve, I am planning to make dumplings and watch the traditional TV program with my fellow colleagues," he laughed. Foreign employees also hailed cooperation with their Chinese partners. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): AYDIN BAYAR, Turkish engineer "It's a big job in Turkey. We are good corporation. We are talking about everything. We do interface check level and then sonar survey. Everything is okay, everything is good with Chinese guy with TCC. We are happy."

UNWTO launches initiative to cut down global tourism plastics pollution

The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) had officially announced a Global Tourism Plastics Initiative in Madrid in a bid to reduce plastic pollution in the tourism sector. The goals of the initiative, which was announced in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on Wednesday, are to eliminate "problematic or unnecessary" plastics by putting in place a "clear, concrete roadmap for implementation of this agenda" by 2025, local media reported. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ZURAB POLOLIKASHVILI, UNWTO Secretary-General "We need more private sector with us. Private sector can play a very important role, because without investments, without financial support, and I know that many companies, big ones, small ones, they are investing a lot in  fighting against the plastic." Some 300 million tons of plastic waste is generated every year, and 60 percent of it ended up in either a landfill or the natural environment, according to a United Nations report. Actionable commitments to reduce the production of plastic waste include transitioning from single-use to reusable alternatives, move towards 100 percent of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable and report publicly and annually on progress made towards these targets. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ANNE PLUVINAGE-NIERENGARTEN, Chief of Global Affairs at French Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition "We want to reach 100 percent of recycled plastic for 2025. We also adopted a roadmap for the Circular Economy in linked with the business sector." "Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental challenges of our time, and tourism has an important role to play in contributing to the solution," said Director of UN Environment's Economy Division Ligia Noronha. The initiative is an ambitious project that unites more than 450 businesses, governments and others to take joint action to tackle plastic pollution.

WHO says "too early" to declare coronavirus outbreak in China a global emergency

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that it was "too early" to declare the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in China a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the announcement at a press conference after a closed-door meeting of the Emergency Committee. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): TEDROS ADHANOM GHEBREYESUS, WHO Director-General "I am not declaring a public health emergency of international concern today. As it was yesterday, the Emergency Committee was divided over whether the outbreak of novel coronavirus represents a PHEIC or not. Make no mistake, this is though an emergency in China. But it has not yet become a global health emergency. It may yet become one." Tedros added that WHO's risk assessment is that the outbreak is a very high risk in China, and a high risk regionally and globally. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): TEDROS ADHANOM GHEBREYESUS, WHO Director-General "I wish to reiterate that the fact I am not declaring a PHEIC today should not be taken as a sign that WHO does not think the situation is serious, or that we are not taking it seriously." The UN health agency extended its Emergency Committee discussions on whether to declare a PHEIC from Wednesday to Thursday. The PHEIC is defined by the WHO as an extraordinary event that is determined to constitute a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response. Tedros said that 584 cases have now been reported to WHO, including 17 deaths. A total of 575 of those cases and all of the deaths have been reported in China, with other cases reported in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam. Tedros said China has taken measures it believes appropriate to contain the spread of coronavirus in Wuhan and other cities and WHO hoped that they will be both effective and short in their duration. He thanked the Chinese government for its cooperation and transparency. The government has been successful in isolating and sequencing the virus very quickly and has shared that genetic sequence with the WHO and the international community. For the moment, WHO does not recommend any broader restrictions on travel or trade, and recommends exit screening at airports as part of a comprehensive set of containment measures. All countries should have in place measures to detect cases of coronavirus, including at health facilities, Tedros said. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Geneva, Switzerland. (XHTV)

Chinese culture fascinates more and more Argentineans

Argentina is tens of thousands of miles away from China, but locals are still excited to welcome the Lunar New Year. Nowhere is more apparent than at the An Mo School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Buenos Aires. The school opened with just 35 students in 2012, and that number has grown exponentially over the last 8 years. SOUNDBITE 1 (Spanish): MARCELO GALLARDO, Director of An Mo School of Traditional Chinese Medicine "I think that the interest that Argentineans, the Argentinean community has in not only learning but being treated with traditional Chinese medicine is because it is a preventive and natural medicine." The school offers courses in areas ranging from acupuncture, Tui Na massage, and nutrition. Just a short drive away is the Argentinean Chinese Cultural Association, where students come to study Mandarin and Chinese culture. SOUNDBITE 2 (Spanish): CLAUDIO GONZALEZ, Mandarin teacher "We have little knowledge in Argentinean society of what Chinese culture is. Things like Fina Fu, the Chao Fan, are around us, but we don't have a real idea, or at least I didn't have one, and I know of many who didn't have one until they started to seriously study the language." The Confucius Institute at the University of Buenos Aires is the top institution for Mandarin language instruction in the country, but it is also a place where students come to learn martial arts. SOUNDBITE 3 (Spanish): ANDRES LUCAS VALDES, Martial arts teacher "I think that teaching, spreading Tai Chi is very important, not only because martial arts in general are a treasure trove of Chinese culture but mainly because in the same way that it has contributed to improving the health, in general, of the Chinese people. We also want it to do it in that sense with Argentineans who wish to integrate into this type of practice." This lunar new year is the Year of Rat, and people across the world, including those in Argentina, will welcome it on January 25, with hopes for luck and prosperity.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said Kenya is optimistic of strong ties with United Kingdom post BREXIT period and the BREXIT presents an opportunity for Kenya and the UK to forge deeper trade ties. He made the remarks while speaking during a meeting between Kenyan and UK business executives. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): UHURU KENYATTA, Kenyan President "I must admit that some of us are not keen on a BREXIT situation but I must also say we are glad that it has happened, and indeed the manner in which the British government is aggressively pursuing new opportunities. I think this might end up being a blessing in disguise for all of us. And I think there is huge potential". According to Kenyatta, the move by UK to aggressively seek new opportunities outside Europe could be advantageous to Kenya and the rest of Africa. On the Big Four Agenda, President Kenyatta said the four areas of affordable housing, food security, manufacturing and universal health present huge investment opportunities and partnership for both Kenyan and British investors. The President urged the Kenyan and British business executives to use the meeting as a platform for creating new business linkages, strengthening existing partnerships and promoting investments. He noted that UK is one of Kenya's key strategic trade partners and ranks as the 5th largest export destination for Kenyan exports. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): UHURU KENYATTA, Kenyan President "Kenya has established a market niche in the United Kingdom for some of its leading products such as tea, coffee, flowers, fruits and vegetables. We, on the hand, have never lost faith in UK manufactured goods including motor vehicles, printed materials, machinery, and chemicals". Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Nairobi.

ADB to help Mongolian capital recycle food waste with 3-mln-USD fund

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed a grant agreement worth 3 million U.S. dollars with the Mongolian government to improve food waste recycling in local communities, the bank said on Wednesday. Implemented jointly with the government, the grant will help improve the living conditions in Ulan Bator by introducing participatory food waste recycling practices. Around 1.2 million tons of solid waste is generated annually in Ulan Bator, but less than 20 percent of them is recycled. Food waste is typically dumped in formal or informal landfills.

Somalia, UN agencies seek 1.03 bln USD to help 3 mln people

Somalia, the UN and humanitarian agencies on Wednesday launched the 2020 Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), seeking 1.03 billion U.S. dollars to provide life-saving assistance and livelihood support to three million people. The plan aims to provide food assistance monthly to 2.1 million people, support access to education for more than 300,000 children, provide health assistance to 2.5 million people, deliver safe water to more than 1.2 million people and non-food items to 1.24 million people, and address conflict-related protection concerns including the risk of gender-based violence. According to the HRP, more than half of Somalia's population live below the poverty line, noting that huge food and nutrition gaps exist among poor agro-pastoral, marginalized and displaced communities. Hamza Said Hamza, minister of humanitarian affairs and disaster management, expressed the government's commitment to working with all humanitarian agencies operating in the country to implement the HRP. SOUNDBITE 1 (English)：HAMZA SAID HAMZA, Somalia's Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management "This plan demonstrates the commitment of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management on behalf of the Federal Government of Somalia, our coordination partner UNOCHA and the international Community to the people of Somalia. It is also a clear and positive gesture of the strong and reliable partnership between us, the international humanitarian community and the government of Somalia". SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ADAM ABDELMOULA, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia "As we launch this plan, we must reflect on the nature of the humanitarian crises that Somalia continues to suffer. Just a couple of months ago, more than half a million people were affected by floods that inundated large areas of the country. While most of those who were affected have returned home, many continue to struggle to rebuild their lives. The floods struck amid a drought response triggered by delayed and erratic rains. We have now been hit by the worst locust infestation in 25 years. At the same time, we are concerned that the Jiilal dry season may lead to water shortages, decrease food stocks, and reduce crop production." The HRP aims to reduce the prevalence of acute malnutrition and health needs, meet the basic needs of people across 74 districts, strengthen protection, right to safety and dignity, and enhance the capacity of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and non-IDPs to cope with significant shocks. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): NASRA ISMAIL, Director of Somalia NGO "In the last decade we have witnessed tremendous strides in humanitarian system responding to people affected by devastating threats – cyclical drought, famine, flood and displacement due to conflict and violence. In a context with few guarantees, two things are certain, however: One, that without the humanitarian system in place with diverse actors from UN, the NGO community and Government agencies, Somalis people would be far worse off without humanitarian system in place. That is clear. Two, as the trends of the last five years indicate, we must sustain the same level of urgency and commitment to ensure the gains made since 2015 are protected".

SOUNDBITE 5(English) James Zhan, Director of Investment and Enterprise of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) STORYLINE Sustainable development is the key theme this year at Davos, with efforts to combat climate change at the heart. SOUNDBITE 1(English): BORGE BRENDE, President of the World Economic Forum "I think China is now on the right path, as committed to the Paris Protocol, as also wants to decouple growth economic from CO2, wants then to stabilise CO2 emissions and then start to reduce; and what China has contributed to when it comes to making renewable energy cheaper is incredible. Ten years ago solar panels were ten times as expensive as today. Today, its one tenth of the price and in many places in the world solar is now compatible with for example Coal and other more traditional energy sources. " SOUNDBITE 2(English): BORGE BRENDE, President of the World Economic Forum "If you go back the last decades, we have seen more people lifted out of extreme poverty in China, maybe 800 million people. We have never seen that amount of people lifted out of extreme poverty ever before in the history of mankind, so this is a great achievement of China." SOUNDBITE 3(English): MARCO LAMBERTINI, Director General of WWF International "There is a chance this year for China to continue to show leadership by pioneering ambition during the Ocean treaty, there will be a treaty this spring during the biodiversity summit that will be held in Kunming and by the Glasgow conference on Climate that will be held too." As the largest developing country on earth, China has long charted its development towards a path of inclusiveness to deliver a life of prosperity to all the Chinese people, particularly those struggling to make a better living, in line with the SDGs.

At a time of rising protectionism and unilateralism, China's consistent stance on the key issues of the world is seen as a steady hand. SOUNDBITE 5(English) James Zhan, Director of Investment and Enterprise of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) "We just released our global investments trends monitor and that’s the regular issue that we launched - the first issue of the year on the eve of the Davos annual meeting and in that report China remains the second largest FDI recipient - followed the United States and remains the largest development economies in attracting FDI. What is interesting is that China accumulated establishment of foreign enterprises reached one million entities. That is quite significant. This is very impressive in the world.

Four looming threats endanger 21st-century progress: UN chief

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday said that four looming threats endanger 21st-century progress and imperil 21st-century possibilities. "I see 'four horsemen' in our midst -- four looming threats that endanger 21st-century progress and imperil 21st-century possibilities," Guterres said at the informal briefing of the UN General Assembly about UN work priorities for 2020. "Four horsemen" refer to four figures in the Book of Revelation who symbolize the evils to come at the end of the world. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "The first horseman comes in the form of the highest global geostrategic tensions we have witnessed in years. Devastating conflicts continue to cause widespread misery. Terrorist attacks take a merciless toll. The nuclear menace is growing. More people have been forced from their homes by war and persecution than at any time since the Second World War. Tensions over trade and technology remain unresolved. The risk of a Great Fracture is real." "Second, we face an existential climate crisis," he said. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "Rising temperatures continue to melt records. The past decade was the hottest on record. Scientists tell us that ocean temperatures are now rising at the equivalent of five Hiroshima bombs a second. One million species are in near-term danger of extinction. Our planet is burning." "The third horseman is deep and growing global mistrust," said Guterres. SOUNDBITE 3 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "Disquiet and discontent are churning societies from north to south. Each situation is unique, but everywhere frustration is filling the streets. More and more people are convinced globalization is not working for them. As one of our own reports revealed just yesterday, two of every three people live in countries where inequality has grown. Confidence in political establishments is going down. Young people are rising up. Women are rightly demanding equality and freedom from violence and discrimination. At the same time, fears and anxieties are spreading. Hostility against refugees and migrants is building. Hatred is growing." "The fourth threat is the dark side of the digital world," he said. SOUNDBITE 4 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "Technological advances are moving faster than our ability to respond to - or even comprehend - them. Despite enormous benefits, new technologies are being abused to commit crimes, incite hate, fake information, oppress and exploit people and invade privacy." "We are not prepared for the profound impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the labor market and the very structure of society. Artificial intelligence is generating breathtaking capacities and alarming possibilities. Lethal autonomous weapons - machines with the power to kill on their own, without human judgement and accountability - are bringing us into unacceptable moral and political territory," he added. SOUNDBITE 5 (English): ANTONIO GUTERRES, UN Secretary-General "These four horsemen - epic geopolitical tensions, the climate crisis, global mistrust and the downsides of technology - can jeopardize every aspect of our shared future."

The hall of the hotel for the event was decorated with Chinese traditional knots as the red color symbolizes goodness, blessing, happiness for the Chinese people. The event was attended by more than 600 overseas Chinese in Kuwait, with Chinese musical and folklore dances performed by actors wearing the traditional Chinese costume.

WHO says China coronavirus outbreak not yet a global health crisis

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that it was "too early" to declare the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in China a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference after a closed-door meeting of the Emergency Committee that he is not declaring a public health emergency of international concern, as the Emergency Committee was divided the day before over whether the outbreak of novel coronavirus represents a PHEIC or not. "Make no mistake, this is though an emergency in China. But it has not yet become a global health emergency," Tedros said, adding that WHO's risk assessment is that the outbreak is a very high risk in China, and a high risk regionally and globally. The WHO chief also reiterated that the fact he is not declaring a PHEIC should not be taken as a sign that WHO does not think the situation is serious, or that they are not taking it seriously. The UN health agency postponed its Emergency Committee discussions on whether to declare a PHEIC from Wednesday to Thursday. The PHEIC is defined by the WHO as an extraordinary event that is determined to constitute a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response. Tedros said China has taken measures it believes appropriate to contain the spread of coronavirus in Wuhan and other cities and WHO hoped that they will be both effective and short in their duration. And he thanked the Chinese government for its cooperation and transparency. "The government has been successful in isolating and sequencing the virus very quickly, and has shared that genetic sequence with WHO and the international community. This outbreak was detected because China had put in place a system specifically to pick up severe lower respiratory infections. It was that system that caught this event," he said. Tedros said that among those infected, one quarter of patients have experienced severe disease; most of those who have died had underlying health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular disease that weakened their immune systems. And there is human-to-human transmission in China, but for now it appears limited to family groups and health workers caring for infected patients. Thus, he said, for the moment, WHO does not recommend any broader restrictions on travel or trade, and recommends exit screening at airports as part of a comprehensive set of containment measures. All countries should have in place measures to detect cases of coronavirus, including at health facilities. Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO Health Emergencies Program, said that China's rapid identification of the virus is the biggest advantage in controlling the epidemic. "There are many things that are giving us an advantage, but our disadvantage is the unknowns in not fully understanding the disease, not fully understanding its severity, not fully understanding its transmission. And that is what the director general spoke to in bringing the global community to work with China to ensure that we have the right evidence, the right knowledge, to be able to react appropriately to this disease," he said. China's National Health Commission on Friday announced that 830 confirmed cases has been reported in 29 provincial-level regions in the country by the end of Thursday, including 25 deaths.

China allocates 1 bln yuan, ensures supply for coronavirus control

Chinese authorities offered financial support for treating patients with novel coronavirus-caused pneumonia and launched emergency coordination of mask production to meet the growing demand for masks due to the novel coronavirus spread. China's Finance Ministry has allocated a total of one billion yuan (about 145 million U.S. dollars) to support Hubei Province's battle against the deadly novel coronavirus. In addition, under a working mechanism of major infectious diseases control, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is working with authorities in Chinese cities to coordinate local mask manufacturers to speed up production in all provincial regions. "Mask-manufacturing enterprises that have resumed production here can produce more than eight million pieces a day, and the maximum capacity of mask production at the present time can reach 20 million pieces a day. The capacity has now recovered to almost 40 percent. More and more enterprises will resume production in the following days," said Miao Wei, Chinese Minister of Industry and Information Technology. Miao said more than 30 mask manufacturers in north China's Tianjin Municipality have resumed production during the Spring Festival holiday, in efforts to ensure mask supplies for pneumonia prevention. "All the workers in our company, including the managers, are producing masks around the clock and will not stop during the Spring Festival holiday [from Jan. 24 to 30]. We will try our best to ensure the supply of masks and put them into the market," said Song Xiao, a mask manufacturer. The MIIT is also making efforts to ensure production and supply of medicine and materials needed for disease prevention and control.

新型コロナウイルスによる武漢市封鎖により困る人々

This is supposed to be the most festive time of year in China. But in Wuhan, the city at the center of the deadly coronavirus outbreak, holiday spirit has been eclipsed by an atmosphere of unease. On Thursday, authorities suspended all means of transport in and out of Wuhan at the peak of the Chinese New Year travel rush, putting the central Chinese city of 11 million people on a lockdown. The highways remained open initially but were ordered to close a few hours later. Local transportation, including buses, subway and taxis are also halted. The city has set up a command center for disease control which issued its first notice early Thursday announcing the transportation shutdown. At the provincial level, Hubei Province has also set up a command center to address the current situation, which the government described as "complicated and severe." The mood in Wuhan has notably changed in the last three days as the number of reported cases and deaths jumped. Armed police officers have made their presence known outside the city's Hankou Railway Station. Many stranded passengers are left with few options but to wait for further notice, while a loudspeaker repeatedly announces the transportation shutdown. A young man outside the station said he was traveling to Jingzhou, also in Hubei Province, about an hour away taking the high-speed train. "I can't go anywhere because sales of all tickets have been suspended," he said. A migrant worker said he arrived at the station to catch a train home when he learned that transportation had been suspended. "When I came here to catch a train in the morning, the train has already stopped. They ask us to wait for the notice, but no one knows how long it will take," he said. A local woman who lives near the station said that she feels for those who are unable to return home for the holiday. "This morning I saw Wuhan buses and subways were suspended and the city was on lockdown. And a lot of people had no way to get home. I really feel for them. Because I can understand what's like for people that have been working away from home for a year. Everyone looks forward to being together with their family. But in this situation, there's nothing we can do," she said. She also urged everyone affected by the epidemic to stay positive and not let fear take over their lives, adding that confidence is very important if they want to beat this disease. In addition to suspended public transportation, all planned celebrations and activities in the city have also been canceled. People have also canceled reservations of New Year's Eve banquets at restaurants, which no longer have a reason to stay open. Some residents said they haven't gone outside except to take out the trash. And those do go out are all wearing face masks, as now required. Many are also asking the government to provide more supplies, especially with a shortage of face masks and rising food prices. The command center issued more notices later on Thursday. One reassures residents that their grocery shopping needs will be sufficiently met. A 24-hour hotline has been established to collect donations of medical supplies and protective equipment, which are in need in large quantities.

*EXCLUSIVE* Tony Rock Says Harry and Meghan are White Version of 'Coming to America'

*EXCLUSIVE* - **USA AND CANADA CLIENTS MUST CALL FOR RIGHTS** Tony Rock has another nickname for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to trade their Royal Family roles for life in Canada -- think "Coming to America" sequel ... but lighter. The comedian was in Bev Hills Wednesday night when we asked him about "Megxit" ... he tells us it's like a real-life version of the 1988 Eddie Murphy flick where he gives up his life as a prince to find true love. Tony describes it a little differently for Harry and Meghan, but still ... it's an apt comparison. Chris' younger brother also tells us he doesn't think Meghan's going to get her wish for more privacy for their son, Archie ... because the kid's just way too famous. Once again, he hilariously evokes a scene from "Coming to America" to make his point. As for the actual sequel to the classic comedy -- scheduled to open wide in theaters in December 2020 -- Rock reveals he's not involved in the project at all ... and it seems like he feels a bit snubbed. Probably won't stop him from seeing it, though ... along with the rest of America, and Meghan and Harry. **MANDATORY CREDIT: TMZ/BACKGRID**

*PREMIUM-EXCLUSIVE* - **USA AND CANADA CLIENTS MUST CALL FOR RIGHTS** Joycelyn Savage handled some legal issues in her battery case, but the real drama was outside the courthouse ... where her mother ran up and begged to talk to her. R. Kelly's girlfriend had a hearing in Chicago Thursday morning, and pled not guilty to battery for allegedly attacking and injuring Azriel Clary -- Kelly's ex and Joycelyn's former roommate. As Savage left the courthouse, she was flanked by a couple of girls who we're told are her younger sisters -- and they were trying to get Joycelyn's attention while she's on the phone. Then, Joycelyn's mother approaches and yells she needs to talk to her ... but gets shut down. Joycelyn hurries away and hops in a car with a woman believed to be her lawyer. As she's getting in, it sounds like one of the sisters urges Joycelyn to "look at the documentary," and adds ... "He's been lying!" Seemingly, this is in reference to R. Kelly and the latest Lifetime docuseries on Kelly. **MANDATORY CREDIT: TMZ/BACKGRID**

Santana and Metcalfe arrived hand in hand and posed on the black carpet at the The Art of Elysium's 13th Annual Celebration - Heaven at Hollywood Palladium on Jan. 4. However now actress and model Santana was 'completely blindsided' by reports that her fiancé Metcalfe appeared intimate with other females in mid January. The 35-year-old designer and actress was nowhere in sight as Jesse stepped out with a pretty blonde after holding hands with Hungarian model Livia Pillman. Cara and Jesse have been engaged for nearly five years after he popped the question in August 2016 following more than half a decade of dating. Metcalfe actively refused to speak to media on the night of the charity event. The couple were in great spirits as they watched Dave Grohl reunite surviving members of Nirvana. The 41-year-old former Dallas and Desperate Housewives actor was spotted with his arms wrapped around a tall blonde woman outside of a bar in the San Fernando Valley, just hours after he was out and about, holding hands with Livia Pillmann. country : United States of America location : Los Angeles

China takes preventive, control measures against new coronavirus pneumonia

Chinese health authorities announced Wednesday that 440 confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) had been reported in 13 provincial-level regions in the country by the end of Tuesday. The cases had resulted in nine deaths, all in central China's Hubei Province, said Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Commission (NHC), at a press conference. Altogether 149 new confirmed cases were reported Tuesday, Li added. Overseas, one case has been confirmed in Japan, three in Thailand, and one in the Republic of Korea. A total of 2,197 close contacts have been traced, figures from the commission show. Among them, 1,394 are under medical observation while 765 others have been discharged. The cases of infection have been on the rise recently, which is possibly due to improved diagnostic methods and advanced reagents for confirming the new coronavirus-related pneumonia, Li said. Experts also said that respiratory transmission is the main path of contagion and the virus is likely to mutate, which will increase the risks of it spreading. The commission has been releasing daily reports on the number of confirmed cases and suspected cases since Jan. 20. Experts called for being alert as there will be increased population mobility amid Chinese Lunar New Year. Strict measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the virus. A total of 15 thermal detectors have been set up in the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport, and 20 thermal detectors have been installed in three major railway stations of the city. The city will also strictly monitor and control the farmer's markets as well as the supermarkets and restaurants, as well as toughen crackdowns on wild animal trade, Li said. He added that public gatherings will be restricted, and unnecessary entry and exit trips to Wuhan will be called off. "We should be strictly on guard against the pneumonia situation spreading outside Wuhan," Li said. Gao Fu, head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said there is no evidence so far showing that a super-spreader, or a highly contagious virus carrier, has emerged. He added that, based on current evidence, the virus was originated from wild animals sold at a seafood market of Wuhan. In accordance with laws and regulations, quarantine measures are being taken on entry and exit ports, Li Bin said. As of Jan. 20, China had shared information with the World Health Organization (WHO), related countries and local authorities in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan on 15 occasions, Li noted. The NHC has organized four meetings with experts from the WHO and invited them to Wuhan for first-hand information on the outbreak, according to Li. "We are maintaining close communications with our counterparts in Thailand, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United States and other countries and their respective embassies in China, sharing the latest information while helping with diagnostic verification," Li said. The NHC has provided free diagnostic kits to health authorities in Hong Kong and Macao on request, he added. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Beijing. (XHTV)

World's oldest captive giant panda celebrates Spring Festival

The world's oldest captive giant panda Xinxing and her four "great-grandchildren" celebrated the upcoming Spring Festival at a zoo in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality Tuesday. The 37-year-old celebrity "granny panda," her age equivalent to more than 100 human years, was treated with carrots, apples, bamboo shoots and leaves in the panda house decorated with lanterns and streamers. The food was carried to the dining area by the four panda cubs in baskets on their back as gifts for their "great-grandmother" to mark the occasion of their first meeting. The celebrity panda is in good physical condition, except occasional high blood pressure, according to Zhang Naicheng, head of the panda house. She weighs 97 kg and eats 30 kg of bamboo shoots and 1 kg of bamboo leaves each day. Xinxing, born in Sichuan Province in 1982, is the world's oldest captive giant panda. She is the matriarch of a huge family of 137 pandas. Her offsprings are spread across the globe in more than 20 countries and regions including the United States, Canada and Japan. Xinxing was brought to the Chongqing Zoo at the age of one. She visited Calgary, Canada during the 1988 Winter Olympics where she attracted over 1 million visitors.

Expanding "Gold and Silver Road" in new era |Stories shared by Xi Jinping

In his first trip overseas in 2020, Chinese President Xi Jinping came to the southeast Asian country, Myanmar. Prior to the visit, Xi shared the story of the "Gold and Silver Road" in a signed article published in Myanmese newspapers. Xi says, as early as the 4th century B.C., our ancestors began to trade with each other through the "Gold and Silver Road," linking China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces with Myanmar and India. In the early 9th century, Myanmar's Prince of Pyu led a troupe of dancers and musicians on a visit to Chang'an, capital of China's Tang Dynasty. Their enchanting performance was celebrated by Bai Juyi, a famed Chinese poet, in an ode to music from the kingdom of Pyu. The literature was a good illustration of the depth of ties between China and Myanmar in ancient times. And in the present era, the "Gold and Silver Road" has extended further thanks to efforts by the two countries. Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Myanmar was the first of countries with a different social system to recognize New China. In Dec. 2009, then Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping paid a visit to Myanmar, putting forward proposals to upgrade relations with the country. In recent years, leaders of Myanmar have visited China multiple times, which helped promote "Paukphaw" (fraternal) friendship between the two peoples. During Xi's latest visit to Myanmar, the two countries agreed to work together to build a community with a shared future. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): Xi Jinping, Chinese President "I visited a photo exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Myanmar. Among them is a photo of Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai during his visit to Myanmar from June 28 to 29, 1954. At that time, China issued two joint statements respectively with India and Myanmar, jointly advocating the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. This was a major initiative in the history of international relations." SOUNDBITE 2 (English): U KO KO HLAING, Chairman of Center for Strategic and International Studies of Myanmar "President Xi's visit to Myanmar is very significant for both countries. I think this trip will open a new chapter in our bilateral relationship between the two countries." Kyaukpyu is located at the southwestern end of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC). It's also the starting point of the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipelines. SOUNDBITE 3 (Myanmar): THEIN SOE, Driver in Kyaukpyu "I am now working as a driver in the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project. We used to make a living by farming and fishing. After this project started, we were surprised to see the significant progress being made here." The oil and gas pipeline project is a pilot project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Under the BRI, the "Gold and Silver Road" is bringing more tangible benefits to the two peoples in the new era. SOUNDBITE 4 (Myanmar): NYEINN CHANN MAUNG, Local resident "I know about the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. It offers a very good opportunity for us to connect with the world. This is something really worth celebrating." For years, Chinese doctors have been offering cataract surgeries to patients in Myanmar. Mei Yan from Yunnan Province is one of them. SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): MEI YAN, Vice president of First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, China At that time, we were offering free treatments under the "Bright Journey" program. Each medical staff took every Myanmar patient seriously. When we saw the smiles on the faces of Myanmar patients, when they got to see things again, we Chinese doctors became truly aware of the significance of the "Bright Journey." In the past three years, Chinese doctors have conducted more than 6,000 cases of free cataract surgeries across Myanmar. They are not only seen as envoys of light, but also of friendliness. This year marks the 70th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties, as well as the China-Myanmar Year of Culture and Tourism. The "Gold and Silver Road" of the new era has also become a path of people-to-people connectivity. SOUNDBITE 6 (Chinese): WANG YUZHU, Researcher, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences More exchanges will bring families and friends closer together. President Xi Jinping's state visit to Myanmar, his first overseas trip this year, has opened a new chapter in China-Myanmar relations, jointly deepening friendships with heart, seeking development with sincerity, and establishing a future with perseverance. This year marks the 70th anniversary of China-Myanmar ties. At this new starting point, the two countries will take the opportunity to build a China-Myanmar community of a shared future, and further expand the China-Myanmar "Gold and Silver Road" in the new era.

Syrians find safe stress reliever in Yoga

After eight years of civil war, many Syrians who are suffering from stress and depression have started practicing yoga to alleviate negative emotions. The Yoga in Syria has been around since 2003, but it wasn't immensely popular. However, rather than using drugs to treat depression and anxiety disorders, many Syrians are now embracing yoga as an alternative therapy. In a sports club in Damascus, dozens of people routinely practice yoga on a biweekly basis. They greet each other with a bow of respect, like in the ancient times. Some of them even bring their yoga mats and start doing yoga gestures, known as Mudras, and stretching exercises. At first, many assumed that these yoga practitioners were doing basic things. However, upon closer observation, it became evident that the moves were advanced and take time to master. Certified yoga instructors teach these people and Indian music is played and candles are lit to create a peaceful environment. Abir Maya is a schoolteacher who was first introduced to yoga through a free course that is offered to schoolchildren. Maya told Xinhua that Yoga has helped her manage her emotions during the horrors of war. SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): ABIR MAYA, Trainer "Yoga has benefited all of its practitioners, as we have learned to control our emotions particularly now during the war because we all have suffered from sadness, anger and pain. We learned to be balanced in our emotions and to control them and be able to deal with them. We also learned to focus with all the noise inside of us we learned how to think quietly." Her yoga classmate, Salam al-Khatib, was also introduced to the practice during her humanitarian work and she said that the practice has helped her handle stress. SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): SALAM AL-KHATIB, Trainer "Yoga is very good because it raises our awareness, regarding our bodies and our breathing because sometimes we breathe wrong. Yoga also helped us to synchronize our movement with our breathing, which gives us a lot of relief and relaxation. This relaxation helps us to deal with the stress and pressure in our lives and the hasty rhythm of life around us. So, all of these factors have pushed me to learn and practice yoga." Abu al-Kheir al-Khatib is a pharmacist who has been practicing and teaching yoga for years. Despite his profession, al-Khatib said that dealing with depression and stress through medication is not beneficial. Hence, he advises those who suffer from the stress of war to consider yoga as a healthy alternative. SOUNDBITE 3 (Arabic): ABU AL-KHEIR AL-KHATIB, Coach "During the crisis in Syria, the treatment of stress and depression is not only through medication, but through mental means, such as yoga. Many of the elderly people who came here to practice yoga have been healed from different health issues, mainly the psychological ones.” Another coach, Wafa Shadid, said yoga has helped many people with symptoms of depression and anxiety, particularly during the war. Shadid also noted that more people are now attending classes. SOUNDBITE 4 (Arabic): WAFA SHADID, Yoga Coach "We have worked on using yoga to heal the sickness that is related to stress and anxiety, particularly during the war. Therefore, we have worked a lot on the subject of healing through yoga so many of the sicknesses have been dealt with through yoga, such as depression and stress and back pain. Yoga is very useful to deal with the stress-originated illness that many people have suffered from through the crisis." Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Damascus. (XHTV)

Palestine to turn economy ministry to first e-ministry

In hopes of increasing future investments in Palestine, Palestine's Ministry of National Economy Portal is taking steps to become the first e-ministry in the country, a Palestinian official said during a recent interview with Xinhua. Palestine's Ministry of National Economy Portal currently provides at least 60,000 services annually to a wide array of businesses in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including official registrations, import and export licenses, current assets, registrars and inquiries. The ministry is working on full automation of its services, through two main projects that aim to digitalize all services that the ministry handles and create investor-friendly processes online. SOUNDBITE 1 (English): KHALID AL-ESSEILY,Palestinian Minister of National Economy "I initiated this idea to have an e-ministry because I believe in it and I know what it means to the business community and also what it means to doing business, because we want to develop our rank in doing business." Coming from a background in private sector, al-Esseily began this process shortly after he assumed office, inspired by the successful atomization of services of the first Palestinian municipality 10 years ago, when he served as mayor of Hebron, the largest Palestinian city south of the West Bank. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): KHALID AL-ESSEILY,Palestinian Minister of National Economy "With a one-stop-shop for all investors, locals or coming from abroad, within two weeks’ time, he can get his license without having to go from ministry to ministry as it is done today. This would be a first in Palestine." SOUNDBITE 3 (English): KHALID AL-ESSEILY,Palestinian Minister of National Economy "We will have an automation for all the registration of the companies, so you can register your company online. You don’t need to come to the ministry to register. Business reengineering is another project to make the life of all the investors easy, where all the regulations that are not mentioned in the law. We will do them through a program with the GIZ (German development agency.) So, hopefully, we will have a portal for the ministry and everything will be online for our investors; new investors or anyone who needs any service from the ministry." Ministry officials told Xinhua that the process to issue a license previously took up to two weeks, but now takes no more than half an hour, reducing tiring paperwork and reducing the archives. They said the facilitation of processes are reflected in an increase in business registrations, although the automation is still not fully completed. SOUNDBITE 4 (Arabic): AYMAN ANU HUSSEIN, Database Administrator of the Ministry of National Economy "By the end of this year, all services provided by the ministry of economy will be automated. However, the connection with services outside of the ministry are still in the early stages." Al-Esseily said that the government's strategy is to change the current situation, where the "the trade balance is not in our favor and has to be changed." The minister explained that Palestinians import about 7 billion U.S. dollars, whereas their exports do not exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars. The Palestinian government is working to increase demand for national products by encouraging more people to invest and produce high-quality products with modern machinery, said al-Esseily. Meanwhile, the strategy will encourage Palestinian exports, by signing more international trade agreements. However, al-Esseily noted that Palestinians still lack control over border crossing, which limits exports and imports. He accused Israel of not respecting Paris' Protocol on Economic Relations, the agreement signed between Palestine and Israel in 1995 to govern economic relations between the two sides. A few months ago, the Palestinian government announced its plans to disengage economically from Israel, in light of the current impasse that is hindering peace negotiations. The plan is being implemented by reaching agreements with neighboring countries in the fields of health, agriculture and energy to decrease its dependency on Israel.

*EXCLUSIVE* Lori Loughlin's daughter Isabella Rose grabs a drink to-go in Hollywood, CA

*EXCLUSIVE* - Lori Loughlin's daughter Isabella Rose was in a shy mood this afternoon while out grabing a drink to-go. The former “Fuller House” actress has been told that federal prosecutors in Massachusetts will use 21-year-old Isabella Rose and 20-year-old Olivia Jade Giannulli “as star witnesses in hopes of securing a conviction,” a source told Us Weekly. Loughlin, 55, asked if there was anything that could be done to keep the girls from testifying — but was told the only solution would be to change her plea to guilty, the source told the magazine. Both she and her 56-year-old fashion designer husband have pleaded not guilty to allegations they forked over a $500,000 bribe to get their daughters into the University of Southern California as bogus rowing recruits.

*EXCLUSIVE* Dr. Oz Scoffs at Testicles 'Taste Challenge' on TikTok

*EXCLUSIVE* - **USA AND CANADA CLIENTS MUST CALL FOR RIGHTS** Dr. Oz doesn't get testy when it comes to TikTok's latest so-called "Taste Challenge" ... he just laughs it off for what it is -- RIDICULOUS!!! We got the doc out Wednesday in NYC and wanted to get his take on the new craze taking over the social media platform ... where guys are -- we're not kidding -- dipping their testicles into soy sauce to prove whether testes have taste receptors. You gotta see Dr. Oz's reaction ... it's what you'd expect from any decent human being, especially one with a medical license. In fact, the good doctor dropped some knowledge on us about the dangers of pulling off the stunt. He also clowns whoever came up with the idea. BTW, our camera guy tells Oz there are bigger ramifications we must face after this TikTok craze, and ... we agree. **MANDATORY CREDIT: TMZ/BACKGRID**
