Russian billions under spotlight Money-laundering claims another blow as hopes of Nov. 12 bailout date fade By Elias Hazou

HE government came under more pressure yesterday following a report in the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel which described Cyprus as a money-laundering haven. Citing a confidential report by Germany’s intelligence agency BND, the magazine said Russian oligarchs who have “parked” their illegal earnings inside the country stand to benefit most from an EU bailout of Cyprus. The article, which the government swiftly dismissed as slander, came just as it looked increasingly clear yesterday that Cyprus is likely to miss a November 12 deadline for having its bailout request approved. In its report, the BND said Russians have deposited some €20 billion in Cyprus banks, an amount greater than the island’s annual gross domestic product. It said these deposits will be guaranteed if European bailout money is paid to shore up the island’s banks. The BND also accused Cyprus of still providing opportunities for money laundering. “The report of the BND shows who will profit most of all from the billions in European taxpayer funds Russian oligarchs, businesspeople and mafiosi who have parked their illegal earnings in Cyprus,” the magazine said. The report was an added embarrassment for the government after the European Commission reiterated yesterday that no date has yet been set for the troika’s return to the island

to finalise talks on a rescue package. A spokesman for the EU’s euro commissioner Olli Rehn told the Cyprus News Agency: “Talks between the troika and Cyprus authorities are ongoing, but we are not in a position yet to announce the date of the next [troika] mission to Cyprus.” German officials seemed to second that view. “A deal before 2013 will likely be difficult,” German finance ministry spokesman Martin Kotthaus said at a press conference yesterday. The government here may have difficulty paying public sector salaries in December unless a bailout deal is clinched and cleared by mid-November. And even if that cut-off date is met, it would then take the parliaments of individual euro-area countries about six weeks to sanction an EU/IMF bailout. The Eurogroup’s November 12 meeting is set to discuss adjustment programmes for Spain, Cyprus and probably Slovenia. Missing that deadline could mean that Cyprus may be “butchered” if international lenders subsequently deal with the country in isolation. Asked by reporters, government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou was unable to shed light on when the troika could be expected back on the island. “We are awaiting the date for the advent of the troika so that direct negotiations [on a bailout deal] can commence. Our contact [with the troika] is on a daily basis,” he said.

TEENS IN COURT AFTER FATAL STABBING OF BRITISH SOLDIER

American amputee climbs 103-storey skyscraper AN American amputee has climbed 103 storeys of a skyscraper using a “bionic” mind-controlled false leg. Zac Vawter, who lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident, scaled around 2,100 steps to the top of Chicago’s Willis Tower. Vawter took part in an annual charity event held by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where he is receiving treatment. “Everything went great,” he said. “The prosthetic leg did its part, and I did my part.” The leg is designed to respond to electrical impulses from muscles in his hamstring. When Vawter thought about climbing, the motors, belts and

chains in his leg synchronised the movements of its ankle and knee. The computerised prosthetic limb weighs about 10 lbs (4.5 kg) and holds two motors. Thought-controlled prosthetic arms have been available for a few years. Knowing leg amputees outnumber people who have lost arms and hands, the Chicago researchers are focusing more on lower limbs. If a bionic hand fails, a person drops a glass of water. If a bionic leg fails, a person falls downstairs. The stair-climbing event was a research project, said Joanne Smith, the Rehabilitation Institute’s chief executive.

“We were testing the leg under extreme conditions. Very few patients who will use the leg in the future will be using it for this purpose. From that perspective, its performance was beyond measure.” Vawter practised on a small escalator at a gym, while researchers spent months adjusting the technical aspects of the leg to ensure that it would respond to his thoughts. “A lot of people say that losing a leg is like losing a loved one,” he said. “You go through a grieving process. You establish a new normal in your life and move on. Today was a big event. It’s just neat to be a part of the research.”

TODAY: A mixture of sunshine and cloud. Temperatures will reach 29C inland, 27C along the coasts and 22C over higher ground OUTLOOK: A little unsettled

DISY leader Nicos Anastasiades maintains an as yet unassailable lead ahead of next year’s presidential elections, the latest survey has shown. The results of the poll, published by Phileleftheros on Sunday, indicated what might happen in a runoff ballot between the two ﬁnalists. It gave Anastasiades a 20 per cent advantage over AKEL-backed candidate Stavros Malas, and a 10 per cent edge over independent Giorgos Lillikas. Should a second round of voting be necessary, the DISY boss would garner 49 per cent of the popular vote,

with Malas left trailing far behind at just 28.2 per cent. Lillikas would fare better than Malas, grabbing 32.5 per cent, compared to Anastasiades’ 43.3 per cent, the poll showed. In both scenarios, the percentage of undecided voters came to slightly over 10 per cent. The rate of abstention ranged from 8.2 per cent (Anastasiades v Malas) to 9.3 per cent (Anastasiades v Lillikas). The presidential elections will be held on February 17, 2013; if no candidate obtains 50 per cent of the vote from the ﬁrst round a second round would follow on February 24. Incumbent president Demetris Christoﬁas has announced that he

will not be seeking re-election. According to the survey’s findings, the public also seems to think Anastasiades is most likely to deliver if elected to office. Forty-seven per cent of those polled expected the DISY leader to more effectively handle the economic crisis, compared to 15 per cent each for Malas and Lillikas. The vote of confidence extends to the handling of the Cyprus problem, with Anastasiades getting 42 per cent, Lillikas 20 per cent and Malas 17 per cent. On reforming public administration, 45 per cent believe Anastasiades can do the job, compared to just 16 per cent each for Lillikas and Malas.

Dog poisonings and injuries mark start of hunting season Hunting ‘turf war’ leads to spate of dog poisonings By Alexandra Anastassiades PROPER safety measures were once again disregarded on Sunday, as the first day of this year’s hunting season saw three people injured and scores of hunting dogs poisoned. The first casualty was a 54-year-old hunter from the Larnaca district who was injured by pellets shot from another hunter early Sunday. He was taken to Larnaca general hospital after sustaining serious injuries to his eye and other parts of his body. The second injury occurred very shortly after in the area near Ayios Mamas in Limassol, where a 30year-old hunter fractured his leg when he slipped and fell into a 50-metre ravine. The Limassol fire and police departments carried out a rescue operation to remove him from the ravine with the help of the police helicopter. He was then transported to Limassol general hospital. The third casualty was injured in the area of Polemi village in Paphos. Under circumstances that are still being investigated, a 55year-old Nicosia resident injured his toe when his

gun accidentally went off. He was taken to Paphos general hospital where the toe had to be amputated. Once again, humans weren’t the only casualties as a large number of hunting dogs were poisoned. The motivation behind these poisonings is thought to be rivalry between groups of hunters and a ‘turf war’ to monopolise certain hunting areas. “Vets from all districts were swamped with cases of poisoned dogs. These cowards poison dogs simply for their own beneﬁt. For them hunting is not a sport, but an opportunity to show off,” Antonis Nicolaides, spokesperson for the Pancyprian Hunting Association, told the Cyprus Mail yesterday. In addition, three people were reported to the Paphos Game Fund for hunting without a licence and in areas where hunting is prohibited. Game Fund spokesperson, Petros Anayiotos, stressed the importance of abiding by the safety regulations that were issued by the Game Fund before hunting season began. “Wearing hunting goggles to protect eyes from pellets, dressing in designated orange gear to increase

The autumn hunting season started on Sunday visibility and ensuring the proper use and transport of guns are all essential meas-

ures that need to be taken in order to avoid such accidents,” he said.

TEN flights carrying around 1,200 passengers to and from Larnaca and Paphos airports will be hit by a Greek air traffic controllers’ strike today. The strike will last for three hours affecting a total of five departures and five arrivals from Larnaca and Paphos airports. The strike will begin

at 10am and finish at 1pm, Adamos Aspris, spokesman for Hermes Airports, said yesterday. “The strike will affect all five departures and five arrivals due to take place to and from Athens, Salonika and Patras Airports. It is expected that 1,200 passengers will be affected,” he said.

He added that the airlines have rescheduled their ﬂights and there should be no cancellations although there could be delays of up to one and a half hours. Aspris recommended that any passengers ﬂying today should get in touch with their airlines or with Larnaca or Paphos airports.

Teens in court after fatal stabbing of British soldier Eleven knives, knuckledusters and drugs found in tourists’ hotel room after arrests By Nathan Morley THREE British tourists appeared at Famagusta District Court yesterday in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old British soldier during a nightclub brawl in Ayia Napa. Fusilier David Lee Collins from Manchester died minutes after being stabbed in the chest after a ﬁght broke out early Sunday morning, and just hours before he was due to be deployed to Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Collins had been clubbing with three other soldiers when they became involved in the brawl with three British holidaymakers from London, but the exact circumstances behind the altercation remain unclear. The suspects, two of Pakistani origin and the third of Somali descent, were taken into custody minutes after the stabbing and kept in separate police stations

before appearing in court yesterday morning looking subdued and dressed in denim jeans and tshirts. They have not been formally charged, but could face possible charges of premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit a crime and possession of an offensive weapon. Magistrate Marinella Miliotou ordered that the men be held in police custody for eight days, whilst police continue their investigation. The court heard that one of the tourists, Mohamed Abdulkadir Osman, 19, told police he stabbed the victim in self-defence when his friends were allegedly assaulted by a group of British soldiers. Osman claimed he waved a knife solely to intimidate them. But one “lunged at him” and as “a result the knife went into the man who was attacking him”, according to a “voluntary statement” Osman made to police on Sunday. Osman appeared in court with a gash on his forehead and his left

hand bandaged. The teenager looked shaken and distressed, only speaking to confirm his name to the magistrate. Osman along with the two other suspects, both 17-years-old, stood in silence as the police report was translated to them. The 17-yearolds, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, admitted that they were at the scene of the crime, but rejected being involved in the incident. During the brief hearing which lasted just ten minutes, police disclosed that they were investigating an allegation that the two groups had arranged to meet at the Black and White nightclub to settle their difference after an argument late on Saturday night. The confrontation is believed to have erupted after taunting related to regional rivalry between London and Manchester, CID officer Stelios Christodoulou told the court.

EARLIER DIFFERENCES George Economou, a police spokesman, said police are investigating information the two groups had arranged to meet at the nightclub to settle earlier differences which police believe were not racerelated. The court heard how after the stabbing Fusilier Collins was given ﬁrst aid outside the nightclub, but succumbed to his injuries before reaching Famagusta General Hospital, with an autopsy concluding he died from a “ruptured heart caused by a sharp instrument”. The tourists will appear in court for a further remand order or to formally face charges next Tuesday and are currently being held at separate police stations in Derynya, Xylofagou and Ayia Napa. If charged with murder, the men could face a life sentence. Police also said the tourists had also been found in possession of cannabis. Economou told the Cyprus Mail that police had discovered eleven knives and a knuckleduster when ofﬁcers searched the tourists’ hotel room hours after the stabbing.

Two of the three suspects, with their heads covered, entering Famagusta court yesterday when they were remanded for eight days (CNA) “They bought the knives in Ayia Napa, but claimed they were presents for their friends back home in London,” he said. He also conﬁrmed that the knife used to stab Fusilier Collins was purchased at an Ayia Napa souvenir shop and found at the scene of the crime. Flick knives, daggers, swords, knuckledusters, baseball clubs and machete blades are widely available in gift shops in Ayia Napa, with police pushing for a scheme to urge shop owners to keep a register of customers buying blades, so far without success. A spokesman for the British Ministry of Defence said: “‘An investigation is being conducted by Cyprus police and it would be inappropriate to comment any further. The family has been informed and our thoughts are with them.”

Bases spokeswoman Connie Pierce said the attack took place in an area of Ayia Napa soldiers have been told to avoid because of previous incidents. According to British media, the stabbing has created an atmosphere of anger at the nearby base in Dhekelia, where troops are stationed as reserves for operations in Afghanistan. “They are not supposed to go to Ayia Napa but it’s got to be wrong that he would have been safer in Afghanistan than in a nightclub in Cyprus,” a source close to the battalion told the Daily Mail. Fusilier Collins’ family told the Manchester Evening News they were “devastated”, while tributes poured in on Twitter and Facebook for the teenage soldier. The British foreign ofﬁce said it was providing consular assistance to the three suspects.

Road tax charges will soon reflect carbon emissions not engine size By Poly Pantelides

The grounds of the recently restored 14th century Armenian Church of Sourp Asdvadzadzin and monastery

Dismay over plans for Armenian church UNDP unhappy with Turkish Cypriot tender procedure for a holy place aiming to ‘encourage reconciliation’ By Poly Pantelides AN ORGANISATION for religious foundations in the north has leased an historic and beautifully restored Armenian site through an unfair and opaque tender procedure, the United Nations Development Programme -Action for Cooperation and Trust (UNDP-ACT) have said. EVKAF, that oversees religious foundations in the north, leased in August the 14th century Armenian Church of Sourp Asdvadzadzin and Monastery complex (AMD) in the Arabahmet area of northern Nicosia that was renovated with UNDP-ACT funds as part of reconciliation efforts. Turkish Cypriot press re-

ports named the Near East University as the winner of a ten-year tender to turn the monastery into a cultural centre. According to Vartkes Mahdessian, the Armenian representative in parliament, such a move goes against the project’s original intention. “The objective was to have a multi-communal area where communities could come together and for the church to be used as a place of worship by the Armenian community,” he said yesterday. UNDP-ACT echoed Mahdessian’s concerns in a news release yesterday. Stakeholders worked “to restore the site to international standards so that it could encourage peace and

reconciliation between all of the communities in Cyprus,” said the statement from UNDP-ACT and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Although UNDP-ACT and USAID did not name the tender winner, they recently said that they learned that “the site had been leased by EVKAF through a tender process that was neither fair nor transparent.” “We have expressed our serious concerns to EVKAF about this unacceptable result,” the news release said. The Cyprus Mail was unable to speak to the UNDPACT to clarify the news release. USAID and UNDP-ACT put €3.5 million into what they have called a “visionary endeavour” and a “unique conﬁdence building measure” referring to efforts to build trust among the island’s communities. “UNDP and USAID look forward to a speedy resolution of this issue so that

we can continue to support all communities in Cyprus on cultural heritage initiatives,” the news release said. Mahdessian said that the news release “enforces our efforts” adding that they have been meeting with diplomats and representations “and we are waiting for an outcome whereby justice will be restored”. As a ﬁrst step, the tender procedure must be annulled, Mahdessian said. According to the UNDP and USAID, the Turkish Cypriot leadership agreed to investigate the outcome and take action “as appropriate”. The site includes historic buildings partially surrounded by a tall masonry wall and including a Gothic masonry church and part of a monastery complex. It was in poor condition when the decision to ﬁx it was taken. Mahdessian yesterday praised the restoration work, now completed.

A LAW amendment will reduce the road transport department’s yearly income from road licences by €7.2 million but will prevent fines from the European Union (EU), the House finance committee heard yesterday. The bill proposes that owners of vehicles such as cars and vans pay an annual road tax based on their vehicles’ carbon dioxide emissions and not on engine capacity as is done now. Buses - up to now exempt - will also need a road licence. All new vehicle owners will also pay a vehicle registration fee of €150, irrespective of vehicle origin or age. A finance ministry representative said they were due to earn only €3.8 million a year from the proposed registration fees changes, falling short of the €11 million the road transport department calculates it can earn from vehicle registrations, as things stand. Though the finance ministry said it will try to recover the lost income, it would not say whether this would be by increasing taxes, the head of the finance committee Nicolas Papadopoulos said.

“We believe this law proposal will modernise to a large extent the way vehicles are taxed and will harmonise [the law] with today’s European standards which we must follow,” said Papadopoulos. Taxing vehicles based on their engine capacity is no longer relevant, Papadopoulos said. “Engines with a much lower engine capacity may have much better performances and so this novel approach, Europe’s modern approach, is the pursuance of lower carbon dioxide emissions,” he added. Under the proposed changes, road licence fees will be tiered and range from €20 to €1,300 depending on the vehicle’s carbon dioxide emission. The threshold is an emission of over 100 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre while emissions of over 256 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre will be subject to the maximum charge. “The proposed bill can ensure we are compatible with EU legislation, ﬁx weaknesses and give us a more effective fee system for vehicles,” said EDEK’s Nicos Nicolaides. He added that the changes would beneﬁt lower income earners who do not drive large engine capacity cars.

Moni, EAC’s ageing power saviour is back on standby THE electricity company (EAC) has partially shut down the ageing power station at Moni after a unit at the main Vassilikos plant, damaged in the Mari blast last year, became operational once more a week ago. The EAC said it has decommissioned a 30MW steam generator at the Moni station while four others - of a total capacity of 120MW - have been put on standby. The station’s gas turbines, installed in the 1990s will remain available either for production or as backups, depending on demand. Moni will now work with minimum personnel, as excess staff is moved either to Vassilikos or the Dhekelia power station to cover their needs. The EAC said it expects that placing Moni’s steam units on standby would cut the cost of production, due to the use of more efﬁcient units, and reduce the station’s operating cost. Despite their age, the steam units at Moni, the oldest of which have been in operation since 1966, contributed signiﬁcantly to Cyprus’ electricity supply returning to normal after the munitions blast at nearby Mari incapacitated Vassilikos on July 11 last year. The blast, which also killed 13 people, caused rolling power cuts for around a month.

Spotlight on Russian billions Government: Cyprus fully complies with all EU anti-money laundering regulations (Continued from front page) Stefanou declined to comment on whether the delay is because international lenders and Cyprus are reportedly at odds over the scope of the rescue package. Cypriot authorities believe the island needs around €5 billion euros to recapitalise its banks, while the troika puts the ﬁgure at about €10 billion. The German government yesterday neither conﬁrmed nor denied the existence of the intelligence agency report reported by Der Spiegel, but MP Carsten Schneider of Germany’s main opposition Social Democrats told the magazine his party would only accept a rescue

package for Cyprus if certain conditions are met. “Before the SPD can approve loan assistance for Cyprus the country’s business model must be addressed,” Schneider was quoted as saying. “We can’t use German taxpayers’ money to guarantee deposits of illegal Russian money in Cypriot banks.” The German politician went on to say that Cyprus must be ready to adjust its low corporate tax rate - a thorny issue for Nicosia. Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, has to approve the payment of ﬁnancial aid for eurozone countries. Responding to the Der Spiegel story, Stefanou said such reports

were designed to slander Cyprus and damage its status as an investment centre. Cyprus fully complies with all EU anti-money laundering regulations, he said, adding that the island has been favourably rated by the Council of Europe Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures (MONEYVAL) and by the Financial Action Task Force. On corporate tax, Stefanou said the issue was never raised during the government’s discussions with the troika, adding: “Besides, for the government the matter is very clear. There is no such question. Changing the corporate

tax rate would deal a serious blow to the economy.” The spokesman stressed also tax rates are a matter of national sovereignty. With the services sector accounting for over 40 per cent of its GDP, Cyprus is keen to protect its corporate tax regime in a bid to keep its competitive edge. The island is currently the “lowest-tax EU Jurisdiction” that is not offshore, with a standard corporate tax rate of 10 per cent. By comparison, the corporate tax rate in Germany stands at 29.8 on average, and in the UK at 20 per cent for annual proﬁts under £300,000 and 24 per cent for annual

proﬁts over £300,000. Some commentators here have suggested that some foreign countries are putting the squeeze on Cyprus now that the island is in a tight spot. Economist Tasos Yiasemidis told news portal Sigmalive that references to Cyprus’ 10 per cent rate can be misleading. Citing Malta as an example, he said that whereas that country has a corporate tax rate of 35 per cent, authorities there return to the companies up to six-sevenths of that in cases where the proﬁts are distributed as dividends. This means the effective tax rate in Malta comes to just 5 per cent, Yiasemidis said.

Unemployed graduates may help with elections By George Psyllides AROUND 2,400 unemployed university graduates could be employed during the presidential elections next year, it emerged yesterday, as the number of jobless in October rose to nearly 40,000. The matter will be cleared on Wednesday, the deadline given to parties to give their views on the recommendation. “The ﬁrst reaction was positive but some parties wanted to see what procedures we will put in place,” said Demetris Demetriou, head of the elections service. The elections are scheduled for Sunday, February 17

and a runoff vote, if necessary, a week later. Demetriou declined to offer more details regarding the selection criteria before a ﬁnal decision was made. The pledge, he said, is to use unemployed degree holders and those selected would be asked to provide a certiﬁcate from the labour ministry that they are registered as unemployed. Demetriou said the plan was for two jobless degree holders to staff polling centres that need four assistants. According to the island’s statistics service (Cystat), the number of jobless people reached 39,510 in October, a 29 per cent year-onyear rise.

Strange happenings as Turkish flag flies above Greek church RESIDENTS of the village of Kellia in the Larnaca district were left baffled yesterday after finding out that the Greek flag on their church had been replaced with a Turkish one while letters and other items were found in the vicinity. It was around 6.15am when residents discovered that the flag at the church of Ayios Antonis had been replaced with a Turkish one while a squash tied with a chain and a collection of hand-written and printed letters were also left in the vicinity. A sickle was also found near the flagpole. A while later, the head of the community Panayiotis Tyrimou was informed that a Greek flag - with abuse written on it in Turkish - was found at the Ayios Georgios monastery near Troulloi, north of Kellia. The chapel of Profitis Elias in Oroklini was also targeted, with its flag replaced with a black pair of trousers. “It is weird,” Tyrimou said. “The community is distressed … nothing like this has ever happened before.” Police said they are investigating the matter.

JOANNA KOUKOUNIS Lawyer for SARAH LOUISE HOWARD

The rise mainly concerned the sectors of construction, trade, manufacturing, accommodation and food service activities, public administration, as well as to newcomers in the labour market. The rise in the number of jobless has forced the government to transfer cash from the supplementary pensions account to the unemployment allowances fund to cover this year’s expected deﬁcit of between €37 million and €43 million. The labour ministry decided to transfer 50 million to cover beneﬁt needs – a practice that was followed in previous years, according to AKEL MP Andreas Fakontis.

Help at hand for poor children Free breakfasts on offer for Paphos kids By Bejay Browne HUNDREDS of Paphos school children who are no longer able to purchase school breakfasts are being offered assistance by local authorities to ensure they don’t go hungry. President of the Paphos municipality social welfare committee Maria Zavrou said that at the Archbishop Makarios III Lyceum alone, the head teacher told her that there were 25 children there whose parents had no money to give them for school breakfast. Zavrou said the welfare programme would remain in place for as long as was necessary. She said the present crisis was affecting children of all nationalities. “We are going into schools to try and help children whose families are struggling due to the ramiﬁcations of the economic crisis. Because of the economic climate, many parents have lost their jobs,” she said. “This means very little money to make ends meet and they don’t have the funds

to give their children to purchase sandwiches from the school shops or canteens.” According to Zavrou, students are at school from 7.30am until 1.40pm, and usually have a sandwich at break time. “Children can’t go without, this is a long time to go without food,” she said. The education ministry, the local education authority and the heads of schools recognised that there was a problem in Paphos, with many families needing help. Zavrou said: “The parents’ association at this high school, as is the case with other schools, is trying to take measures to help these children. Some are making sandwiches for free and others are paying money to the school shops for these snacks.” A mother of two young boys wishing to identify herself only as Anna told the Cyprus Mail: “We are really struggling as a family and we feel ashamed to ask for help. My husband worked in the building industry but he no longer has any work. I have a job as a cleaner, but this is not enough for us to

live off.” She added “We have already used most of our savings and we lie awake at night worrying about how we can feed our family. My husband looks for work every day but there is nothing for him. What sort of mother am I if I can’t even feed my children?” Zavrou said that of all of the Paphos schools she has visited so far, around 25 to 30 children in each school are facing problems. “We have 34 or so schools in Paphos and numerous nurseries and kindergartens. The smaller children in the ﬁve-year-olds age group are also being affected.” She added that families ﬁnding themselves in this position can contact the head of the school to try and see what help is available. “There is help for everyone, no children will go without.” Zavrou said that the crisis had brought out a caring side in many of the children. “I know that on a daily basis, some of the children are breaking their sandwiches into half and sharing it with the other children,” she said.

Some parents’ associations are subsidising school canteens to help provide food

There’s hard work ahead on green issues, Cousteau’s son warns youth THIS generation as well as those which came before have created so many environmental problems that young people will have to use all the means at their disposal to have any chance of solving them, Pierre-Yves Cousteau, oceanographer and son of the legendary Jacques Cousteau, said yesterday. “We created so many problems - my generation, the generation before me and the generations before - for the environment,” that young people will have to face tomorrow, he told a gathering in Limassol. Cousteau, who was speaking during an event organised as part of the International Sea Festival Nautilus by the Evagoras & Kathleen Lanitis Foundation, in collaboration with the Oceanographic Centre of the University of Cyprus and the ‘Rencontres de la Terre’, to pay tribute to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, noted that with his work his father inspired

In the ﬁnal days, both Obama (right) and Romney have focused on ﬁring up core supporters and wooing the last few undecided voters in battleground states (AFP)

Last push in US White House race Polls show Obama, Romney deadlocked By John Whitesides PRESIDENT Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney were set to make a frenetic dash to a series of crucial swing states yesterday, delivering their final arguments to voters on the last day of an extraordinarily close race for the White House. After a long, bitter and expensive campaign, national polls show Obama and Romney are essentially deadlocked ahead of today’s election, although Obama has a slight advantage in the eight or nine battleground states that will decide the winner. Obama planned to visit three of those swing states yesterday and Romney was to travel to four to plead for support in a fierce White House campaign that focused primarily on the lagging economy but at times turned intensely personal. The election’s outcome will impact a variety of domestic and foreign policy issues, from the looming “fiscal cliff” of spending cuts and tax increases that could kick in at the end of the year to questions about how to handle illegal immigration or the thorny challenge of Iran’s nu-

‘I did not help Vatican butler’ A VATICAN computer worker has denied helping the pope’s butler to leak conﬁdential documents to the media. Claudio Sciarpelletti’s lawyer insisted he had little motive to risk his 20 years in the job. Sciarpelletti is accused of aiding Paolo Gabriele in the theft of papal correspondence and other documents from the pope’s apartment. His lawyer Gianluca Benedetti told the trial in the Vatican that the two were not great friends and that Sciarpelletti would be unlikely to help a person he had no special relationship with.

clear ambitions. The balance of power in Congress also will be at stake today, with Obama’s Democrats now expected to narrowly hold their Senate majority and Romney’s Republicans favoured to retain control of the House of Representatives.

AD BARRAGE In a race where the two candidates and their party allies raised a combined $2 billion, the most in US history, both sides have pounded the heavily contested battleground states with an unprecedented barrage of ads. The close margins in state and national polls suggested the possibility of a cliffhanger that could be decided by which side has the best turnout operation and gets its voters to the polls. In the final days, both Obama and Romney focused on firing up core supporters and wooing the last few undecided voters in battleground states. Romney reached out to dissatisfied Obama supporters from 2008, calling himself the candidate of change and ridiculing Obama’s failure to live up to his campaign promises.

“He promised to do so very much but frankly he fell so very short,” Romney said at a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday. Obama, citing improving economic reports on the pace of hiring, argued in the final stretch that he has made progress in turning around the economy but needed a second White House term to finish the job. “This is a choice between two different versions of America,” Obama said in Cincinnati, Ohio. Obama was to close his campaign yesterday with a final blitz across Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa - three Midwestern states that, barring surprises elsewhere, would be enough to get him more than the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. Polls show Obama has slim leads in all three. His final stop yesterday night was to be in Iowa, the state that propelled him on the path to the White House in 2008 with a victory in its first-in-the nation caucus. Romney was to visit his must-win states of Florida and Virginia - where polls show he is slightly ahead or tied - along with Ohio, before concluding in New Hampshire, where he launched his presidential run last year.

Rwanda genocide indictment SWEDEN has charged a man of Rwandan origin with taking part in the killings of thousands of people during the 1994 genocide in his homeland, the prosecutor’s ofﬁce said yesterday, the ﬁrst such case in the Nordic country. The man, an ethnic Hutu from Rwanda who is now a Swedish citizen, was named only as MS by prosecutors. A trial is to start on November 16 when the charges will be read in court. The man has denied the allegations. He is alleged to have shot, macheted and thrown hand grenades at ethnic Tutsis in several attacks in Kibuye province in west Rwanda and to have recruited young men to take part in massacres. “Genocide is the most serious crime that there is and it can bring a sentence of up to life in prison,” special prosecutor Magnus Elvin told Reuters. Some hearings in the trial will be held in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, in late November and up to the middle of December. The proceeding is expected to last until May next year, he said.

Shamed Bo stuck in a legal limbo Shamed China politician has no trial date By Sui-Lee Wee TWO lawyers for disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai said yesterday they had no idea when his trial might start and that he was stuck in legal limbo, despite the opening of a formal criminal investigation into accusations of graft and abuse of power. Bo, once a contender for top leadership in the world’s second largest economy, was ousted in China’s biggest political scandal in two decades. His wife, Gu Kailai, and his former police chief, Wang Lijun, have both been jailed over a scandal that stems from the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood while Bo was Communist

Party chief of the southwestern city of Chongqing. The government has accused Bo of corruption and of bending the law to hush up the murder. Prosecutors formally began a criminal probe into Bo last month but have yet to announce charges. Two lawyers hired by Bo’s family, Li Xiaolin and Shen Zhigeng, told Reuters that nearly two weeks after the official announcement of the criminal investigation, they had not been given permission to either see him or represent him. “Of course not,” Shen said, when asked whether he had seen Bo. “The confirmation (I can represent Bo) hasn’t been verified. So how can we see (him)?” Shen said the trial will be

The Chinese government has accused Bo (above) of corruption and of bending the law to cover up murder ple’s Court in Beijing. “There’s no evidence for it,” Li said by telephone. Li said he was waiting for the state prosecutor, or the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, to approve his application to represent Bo. “Who knows if (they will) agree or not agree, we have to

see what the higher ups say,” Shen said. As China’s prosecutors and courts come under Communist Party control they are unlikely to challenge the accusations against Bo. The trial of Gu lasted only seven hours, while the trial of Wang lasted two days.

Five bomb blasts rip through Bahrain capital, two killed FIVE bombs exploded in the heart of the Bahraini capital Manama yesterday, killing two Asian street cleaners, ofﬁcials said, and prompting mutual accusations from activists and a government trying to put down a mostly Shi’ite pro-democracy uprising. The Interior Ministry said the bombs were homemade and described the blasts as “terrorist acts” - its term for violence by opposition activists. But an opposition politician and a rights activist said the attacks, which came days after the government said it had banned all rallies and opposition gatherings to ensure public safety, could have been the work of government forces trying to justify the ban or a further crackdown. Injuries to protesters or police are relatively common in the 21-month-old uprising, but attacks on the public have been rare on the Gulf island, where the Sunni Muslim Al Khalifa dynasty rules over a majority Shi’ite population. The explosions took place between 4.30 and 9.30am

(0130-0630 GMT) in the Qudaibiya and Adliya districts of Manama, the BNA agency said, citing a police ofﬁcial. It described the explosives as “locally made bombs” and said a third Asian worker had been wounded. One of the attacks took place outside a cinema, where one of the street cleaners died when he kicked a package that blew up. A witness said that blast caused little material damage, suggesting it had not been large. Police say they have been the target of numerous attacks with homemade bombs since April, including one that killed a policeman last month, as the government has stepped up efforts to quell an uprising that has crippled the economy. Britain condemned the attack and called for all sides to enter into a dialogue without any pre-conditions to resolve the tension, the Bahrain News Agency reported. “There is no place in Bahraini society for such acts of violence,” Alistair Burt, Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, was quoted by BNA as saying.

50 die in Syria bombing By Mariam Karouny and Tom Perry AN Islamist suicide car bomber killed at least 50 Syrian security men in Hama province yesterday, an opposition group said, in what would be one of the bloodiest single attacks on President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in the 20-month-old uprising. Another day of relentless violence in Syria coincided with more unity talks in Qatar among opposition factions. Syrian state media initially reported that a “terrorist” suicide bomber had targeted a rural development centre in Sahl al-Ghab in Hama province,

Islamist attacker targets Syrian security men in Hama putting the death toll at two. Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the centre was used by security forces and pro-Assad militia as one of their biggest bases in the area. “A ﬁghter from the Nusra Front drove his car to the centre and then blew himself up,” he said. “A series of explosions followed. At least 50 were killed.” The Nusra Front, an al Qaeda-inspired group of ul-

tra-orthodox Salaﬁ Muslims, has claimed responsibility for several suicide bombings in Damascus and elsewhere in the past. It operates mostly independently of other rebel factions, some of which have criticised it for indiscriminate tactics. Syrian ofﬁcials often blame foreign-backed Islamist militants for the anti-Assad revolt, in which about 32,000 people have been killed since it began in March 2011. In Damascus, a car bomb

exploded in the mostly Alawite western district of Mezzeh 86, killing 11 people and wounding dozens more, including children, state media and the Syrian Observatory reported. An Islamist group calling itself Seif al-Sham claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted a meeting point for the army, police and pro-Assad militia. Warplanes, tanks and artillery battered rebel-held parts of southern Damascus in what one Western diplomat said was an escalation in the government campaign to crush the insurgency. Opposition activists said at least 10 people were killed there.

Business New Greek austerity push due

G20 seeks breathing room over cuts

GREECE’S government presented a new austerity package to parliament yesterday as a week of strikes and protests kicked off over proposals that lawmakers must approve if the country is to secure more aid and stave off bankruptcy. Parliament is expected to vote on Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ 13.5 billion euros ($17 billion) package of cost cuts and tax hikes tomorrow along with measures making it easier for firms to hire and fire workers. Despite public exasperation at four years of belt-tightening that has helped wipe out a fifth of the economy and leave a quarter of Greeks jobless, the package and a tough budget slated for a vote on Sunday are expected to scrape through parliament. Greece’s powerful main public and private sector unions will launch a 48 hour strike against the legislation today and plan marches in the centre of Athens. Journalists, doctors, transport workers and shopkeepers also planned stoppages. Approval of the reforms and the passage of the 2013 budget are crucial to unlocking 31.5 billion euros in aid from an International Monetary Fund and European Union bailout that has been on hold for months. “These will be the last cuts in wages and pensions,” Samaras said in a speech aimed at galvanising the members of his centre-right New Democracy party. “We promised to avert the country’s exit from the euro and this is what we are doing. We have given absolute priority to this because if we do not achieve this everything else will be meaningless.” Without the aid, Greece will not be able to redeem a 5- billion euro treasury bill falling due on November 16.

THE world’s leading economies will give themselves more wiggle room to meet their own targets for cutting budget deficits rather than risk aggravating a slowdown in many countries, chief among them the United States. Policymakers from the Group of 20 countries are worried that their target to halve the budget shortfalls of advanced economies by the end of next year might hurt the struggling global economy. “We will ensure the pace of fiscal consolidation is appropriate to support growth,” said a draft communique, drawn up for top G20 finance officials meeting yesterday in Mexico. The target was agreed by G20 leaders at a summit in Toronto in 2010, when the global economy seemed to be on the road to recovery from the financial crisis in the previous two years. It now looks out of reach for many economies, including the United States, as growth has slowed. The US budget gap surpassed $1 trillion for the fourth year in a row in the fiscal year 2012. The deficit was equivalent to 7.0 per cent of the country’s economic output. While the United States needs to bring its deficits under control, many G20 countries want it to avert a barrage of tax hikes and spending cuts from January 1 that were pencilled in last year to show the country could tackle its fiscal problems. Those measures, dubbed a “fiscal cliff”, could push the US economy back into recession unless Congress can reach a deal quickly after the presidential and congressional elections today. “There may have to be some modification with respect to the deficit targets,” said Canada’s finance minister, Jim Flaherty. “That may not be compatible for the Americans with their fiscal cliff solution, whatever it is, so there may have to be more time there,” he told reporters late on Sunday, stressing countries need to show they can eventually fix their fiscal problems over time. The draft communique said G20 members would ensure that public finances are on a sustainable path, in line with the medium-term commitments made in 2010.

European shares dip ahead of US elections By David Brett EUROPEAN shares dipped lower by midday yesterday as investors took shelter in safer havens ahead of the US election and banks fell after HSBC announced a hit to third-quarter proﬁts. By 1200 GMT, the FTSEuroﬁrst had fallen 6.75 points, or 0.6 per cent to 1,108.44, having risen 1.6 per cent last week to near early September highs of 1,020 fuelled by better economic data in Asia and the US. This week will be dominated by political and economic developments which will increase investor uncertainty, with the once-a-decade power transfer in China and Greece’s attempt to gain political support for measures to obtain further aid in focus. But the main event will be the US presidential election today. “Equities will remain range

Banks knocked as HSBC takes third-quarter profit hit bound until after the elections,” Jawaid Asfar, trader at Securequity, said. “An Obama victory looks priced in, but a Romney victory may cause shares to rally further as his pledge to keep taxes low would help the well-off and business alike,” Asfar said, adding pharmaceuticals may perform better on an Obama victory and ﬁnancials on a Romney win. Evidence that investors were being cautious was seen in the near two-month high for the dollar index, while volumes were a paltry 20 per cent of their 90-day average on the FTSEuroﬁrst. “We continue to see investors sit on their hands,” James Humphreys, senior investment manager at Duncan Lawrie Private Bank, said. “Those who are making

investment decisions risk missing out if they’re sitting in cash and fixed interest rather than being prepared to buy equities even though the valuations are quite reasonable,” he said. Against the murky economic and political backdrop, however, investors continue a flight towards quality assets and desert miners and banks - assets which tend to underperform in an uncertain economic environment. Miners weakened in tandem with copper prices after downbeat China service sector data took the gloss off the previous week’s encouraging PMI figures. Banks shed 1.1 per cent with heavyweight lender HSBC proving a major drag on the sector, down 1.2 per cent after its third-quarter

profit was dented by US fines for anti-money laundering rule breaches, which could cost the company more than $1.5 billion. Some 48 per cent of European companies have missed profit expectations so far in the third-quarter, lagging a far better performance from US peers, according to Thomson Reuters data. With sentiment depressed ahead of the US elections and against the uncertain earnings backdrop, perceived quality names in healthcare and food and beverages outperformed. A 10 per cent jump in firsthalf profit and raised guidance propelled Irish low cost airline Ryanair 6.6 per cent higher, helping lift peer Easyjet and the broader travel and leisure sector. Weir climbed 5.7 per cent after the firm assuaged concerns over the outlook for engineers by saying it was on track to meet expectations for the full year.

Fitch credit ratings agency upgrades Turkey to investment grade FITCH Ratings upgraded Turkey to investment grade yesterday, a move long coveted by Ankara, citing underlying strengths and an easing in near-term risks for the economy. The credit ratings agency highlighted a moderate and declining government debt burden, a sound banking system, favourable medium-term growth prospects and a relatively wealthy and diverse economy.

The upgrade prompted a rally in Turkish ﬁnancial markets, which had been anticipating the move in recent weeks, with the lira ﬁrming against the dollar, while the benchmark bond yield fell to a near record low of 6.8 per cent from 6.98 per cent. Fitch’s decision was likely to boost the Turkish economy, Europe’s fastest growing last year, but slowing sharply this year, making the

country more attractive to foreign investors. “It’s important to know that credit markets have been trading Turkey like an investment grade credit for some time,” said Manik Narain, emerging markets strategist at UBS. “But at the end of the day this will create actual investment inﬂows and lower borrowing costs even though it was partially priced in.”

Opinion

LETTER to the Editor

All eyes on the Mitt Romney is ‘dangerously US elections irresponsible’ and out of touch NO PRESIDENTIAL or parliamentary elections interest the rest of the world as much as those held every four years in the United States. After all, the identity of the president of the biggest economy and most powerful nation has a direct impact on what happens in the rest of the world, especially in terms of the world economy and security. Critics of the US often put forward the argument that a change of guard in the White House made little difference as American strategic interests and objectives around the globe, which were defined by the military, intelligence and diplomatic elite, did not change. Overall objectives may remain largely the same, but the president decides the way these are pursued, something that could make a big difference. If Mitt Romney defeats President Barack Obama in today’s election, which opinion polls suggest will be a very close contest, there will be a change of US policy with regard to Iran’s nuclear plans. Both Obama and Romney want to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons, but the president has been pursuing a diplomatic solution, opposing a near-term military strike by US or Israel on Iranian nuclear facilities. Romney, in contrast, has been saying that military action remained on the table, and has been seen “to present a clearer military threat to Iran;” he plans to send US Navy ships to patrol the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. His presidency could increase the risks of war In the Middle East. The big differences between the candidates however, relate to the economy and are consistent with the beliefs of their respective parties – the Democrats stand for big government, high state spending and high taxes, while the Republicans have always supported a smaller state, lower federal expenditure and cuts in taxation. Obama’s $768 billion package of moderate tax cuts and investment in education, health, infrastructure etc failed to trigger the recovery of the US economy. Romney plans across the board tax cuts and relaxation of banking and Wall Street regulations, which, he claimed stifled economic growth. The recovery of the US economy would benefit the rest of the world, particularly Europe, which has been badly hit by the global economic stagnation coupled with the euro crisis. Of course, what worked for the US in the ‘80s – President Reagan’s tax cuts and big deficits led to an economic boom – might not have the same effects in 2013, assuming Romney wins today’s election and embraces what had been labelled as Reaganomics. President Obama’s economic policies might not lead to a recovery as fast, but his more measured and cautious approach to foreign policy makes the world a safer place; that is a pretty important objective. How the American people will vote today remains to be seen, with pollsters claiming that the outcome could be decided by the turnout. If Obama’s ‘core constituencies’, which put him in the White House in 2008, but, reportedly, felt let down by his presidency, show up to vote, pollster believe, he will earn a second term.

MITT Romney is devoting the final days of his campaign to an old lie - his position on the bailouts of car manufacturers of GM and Chrysler. Romney famously said in a New York Times opinion piece four years ago “Let Detroit go bankrupt”, arguing that a managed bankruptcy that allows private investors to take over and restructure a struggling firm is far more efficient than a government takeover. While that may be the case in normal circumstances, the economic crisis of 2008 was the most severe in 80 years. The financial markets were nearly paralysed, with all of the major banks and financial institutions at risk of meeting the same fate as Lehman Brothers-the investment bank that was allowed to failwith catastrophic consequences because it was judged to be beyond saving. None of the major financial institutions, even the relatively healthy ones like Goldman Sachs, were willing to extend credit lines to businesses and enterprises that were booming until that September, because of the drain in capital and the huge losses they endured from the subprime mortgage disaster and the utter collapse of confidence in all banks as a result of Lehman Brothers’ failure. Capitalism itself was at risk of collapse into a crisis far worse than the Great Depression that led to WWII. Any investment banker would have bluntly refused to provide the funding needed to help a private equity consortium [like Romney’s Bain] to temporarily take over General Motors and Chrysler and their billions of dollars of liabilities when their own bank’s future was unclear-especially when the private equity option has failed before in the case of Chrysler. President Obama’s $80 billion of the car industry was amongst rescue his wisest decisions, in that it saved an iconic American industry, prevented middle class automobile executives and factory workers from losing their jobs and their future prospects en masse, saved the suppliers and car dealerships that would have gone bust, and indirectly saved Ford Motors, which, although it didn’t need a bailout [it had already ditched the practices that nearly destroyed the

Romney ‘out of touch with reality’ other two], would have struggled to survive should the autoparts supply network have been destroyed as a result of the extinction of GM and Chrysler. It has revived communities throughout Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, by creating and maintaining jobs and created local income tax revenue that could build new knowledge economies for the cities and towns in those states. GM is now enjoying record profits, and by being forced to retool its manufacturing and production line, is actually selling more cars abroad leading to an American revival in exports. Furthermore, the car companies have been forced to finally produce cars that actually contribute, to not only lowering carbon emissions, and to lowering reliance [and the oil price] on oil from unstable and unpleasant regimes like Saudi Arabia, who accept our oil dollars with one hand and fund the likes of Bin Laden with the other. Chrysler has been restructured to a state that the US Government was able to attract Fiat, the Italian car manufacturer, to buy it, giving America a way back into the European market, new ideas about how to approach emerging markets and a window into Italian expertise. So when Romney is saying the auto-bailout was a failure and “crony capitalism at its worst” because it benefited only unions, he is lying, or living in cloud cuckoo land with his ideologi-

cal opposite, Cyprus’ President Christoﬁas. In fact, American unionised auto-workers, although they can still be a stubborn bunch, were a lot more reasonable than workers in other countries would be in the same situation. On top of his earlier lie, he has invented a new one that has deeply xenophobic, and ideologically inconsistent undertones. In a new attack ad in swing states, his campaign is claiming, that far from saving American car manufacturing jobs, Obama has duped the simple auto-workers and displayed a lack of patriotism by selling Chrysler to shifty Europeans, who intend to close down Jeep factories in Ohio so that they can outsource to China, where they will then reexport cars back to the States. Firstly, Fiat-Chrysler is considering opening a new plant in China. But it is not some sinister scam. It is so that they can manufacture Jeeps there so that they can sell to the booming Chinese market without having to pay transport costs and have their products be priced out by high Chinese import tariffs. What Fiat-Chrysler is doing is trying to make the American car industry a fully globalised, savvy industry. Secondly, the same Ohio plant that Romney’s ad claims the Italians and Chinese are trying to close in cahoots with Obama is about to hire 1,100 more work-

ers to produce more Jeeps for American consumers. Thirdly, as a potential President of the United States, you do not trash investments from foreigners in your industries, especially when those foreigners had every rational reason to give the US auto-industry and the US economy as a whole a wide berth at the time. It is reckless and irresponsible populism that needlessly alienates the business community around the world and damages relation with a major partner like Italy. You are also not supposed to portray the Chinese, whatever their flaws [intellectual property rights violations, an artificially weak currency and therefore artificially cheaper Chinese goods exported to America with artificially more expensive American goods exported to China], as engaged in an economic war on American workers and America as a whole, giving the more left wing and hawkish members of the ruling elite an excuse to take economic, diplomatic and military actions hostile to US interests. Fourth, as an ardent believer in the free market and globalisation, who as a leading figure in private-equity, invested in scores of struggling companies which were then restructured with jobs being shipped off abroad-to China no less. while leaving American workers with limited benefits that would tide them over until they get back on their feet, you shouldn’t be running around bashing similar practices for votes, and you shouldn’t be claiming that your opponent, the President of the United States, is engaged in those practices when he is innocent, thereby cheapening American democracy as a result and destroying what trust people have left in their institutions and what little bipartisan spirit still exists in Washington DC. Lastly, when the CEOs of General Motors and Chrysler make statements rebutting your lies, you don’t act like they are liars or fools - essentially mocking people who play a pivotal role in the economy you hope to preside over. Romney is dangerously irresponsible, and rivals Christofias when it comes to being out of touch with reality. Timothy Spyrou, Limassol

The end of the Third Battle of Ypres when British and Canadian troops capture the infamous Passchendale Ridge.

President Kyprianou has repeated his opposition to any suggestion about an evolutionary settlement. “It is totally groundless that Turkish troops staying in Cyprus could withdraw after a settlement and it is equally groundless to believe that we could secure basic freedoms, safeguards and effective guarantees later if we do not secure them now”, the President said.

Wreck-It Ralph hammers box office, sails over Flight Highest-grossing opening weekend in Disney animation history By Piya Sinha-Roy and Ronald Grover WRECK-IT RALPH, Disney’s animated film about a videogame character who destroys everything in his path, scored the highestgrossing opening weekend in Disney animation history with $49.1 million, as box office attendance picked up in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. The tally for Wreck-It Ralph, which features the voices of John C. Reilly and Jane Lynch, hammered the Denzel Washington film Flight, which generated ticket sales of $25 million at US and Canadian theatres, according to studio estimates on Sunday. After a quiet box office last weekend with the US East Coast preparing for superstorm Sandy, there was a jump in movie attendance this week in areas hit by the storm. Dave Hollis, executive vice president of film distribution at Walt Disney Studios, told Reuters that movie attendance in affected areas was “very healthy,” boosted by school closures on Friday, which saw a bounce in matinee showings. “In a nice way, Wreck-It Ralph, in areas affected by the storm, ended up actually becoming an opportunity to relieve yourself from the reality that might be going on around you, we saw the theatre business around areas affected by the storm very healthy,” Hollis said. “The storm and its impact - I don’t know if it was a function of cabin fever or just escaping by getting into

The film was produced by

the same team behind Disney’s animated ﬁlm Tangled, which earned the previous highest opening weekend gross with $48.8 million in 2010. Wreck-It Ralph was forecast to generate sales in the mid-$40 million range, according to Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box ofﬁce division of Hollywood.com. New release Flight, in

which Washington stars as an airline captain who saves his plane from crashing but is accused of drinking before the flight, beat industry analysts’ $13 million forecast. The film, produced by Viacom’s Paramount Pictures unit, was made on a $31 million budget. Unlike Wreck-It Ralph, Flight did not experience the same benefit from school

closures in parts of the East Coast, according to Don Harris, president of distribution at Paramount Pictures. “The Disney movie would beneﬁt from school being out in a large number of big urban and suburban eastern markets, they were always going to have a very good opening, I think they got a little help on Friday,” Harris said.

Pitbull a ‘dirty, nasty gentleman’

THE Pop band No Doubt was forced to remove a new Wild West-themed music video and issue an apology after getting complaints from the Native American community, saying its intention was “never to offend, hurt or trivialise” their culture or history. The Southern California band - made up of lead singer Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young - posted an apology on their ofﬁcial website over the weekend following the release of their latest video for the single Looking Hot. “As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialise Native American people, their culture or their history,” the band said. The video, which debuted on Friday, featured Stefani dressed in tribal garments as a Native Indian princess captured by Young and Dumont dressed as cowboys, while Kanal played a tribe chief who rescues Stefani. Some users took to social media platforms to criticise the band’s use of tribal imagery, leading No Doubt to remove the video online, adding that “being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are.” “Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realise now that we have offended people ... We sincerely apologise to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video,” they said.

The rapper spoke out about how he likes to treat women

THE 31-year-old rapper whose real name is Armando Pirez - believes the best way to treat a girlfriend is to be attentive and protective, while also be open about sex. He said: “I’ve a very solid oldschool mentality; the woman orders ﬁrst, I open doors for women. But I’m like a dirty, nasty gentleman. A woman wants to feel protected and provided for, but at the same time she wants to feel like a woman when you’re making love to her. Foreplay or whatever. “It’s best to have a relationship with someone where it’s open, where you can say, ‘What’s your fantasy tonight? More than a girlfriend or a wife, I want a friend.’ “ The rap star also defended some of his outrageous lyrics, insisting it is important to be entertaining. He explained to Q magazine: “You don’t want a rap that goes, ‘I’ll meet you at nine o’clock and we’ll do it missionary, done by nine ﬁfteen.’ You don’t want that s**t.

Sharon Osbourne has double mastectomy SHARON Osbourne has revealed she has undergone a double mastectomy after taking the agonising decision to opt for surgery as a precaution against further cancer. The former X Factor judge, who has already battled colon cancer a decade ago, made her choice after ﬁnding she carries a gene which increased the risk of developing breast cancer. In an interview with Hello! magazine, she said: “As soon as I found out I had the breast cancer gene, I thought: ‘The odds are not in my favour’.” Sharon, 60, went on: “I’ve had cancer before and I didn’t want to live under that cloud: I decided to just take everything off, and had a double mastectomy.” It has been a rollercoaster year for Sharon, who has had highs such as becoming a grandmother for the ﬁrst time to baby Pearl and the marriage of son Jack, but she has also had the upset of Jack’s diagnosis with multiple sclerosis at the age of 26. She underwent a 13-hour operation but refuses to feel sorry for herself.

NO-BRAINER “For me, it wasn’t a big decision, it was a no-brainer,” she said. “I didn’t want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me. I want to be around for a long time and be a grandmother to Pearl. I didn’t even think of my breasts in a nostalgic way, I just wanted to be able to live my life without that fear all the time. “It’s not ‘pity me’, it’s a decision I made that’s got rid of this weight that I was carrying around.” Prior to the surgery she also learned her breast implants had leaked into her stomach wall, which has now put her off cosmetic surgery. “Sometimes I’ll see a photo and I’ll think, ‘My face looks plastic’; it can look so unnatural from certain angles. Now I am deﬁnitely, deﬁnitely done,” said Sharon, who posed for the magazine in a photoshoot in Hawaii. “You can’t buy your youth back, no matter how much money you’ve got. I won’t be going under the knife again.”

Wet UK summer ‘increases flood risks’ By Ben Mitchell THE wet summer in the UK has left the country with a higher risk of ﬂooding this autumn and winter, the Environment Agency and Met Ofﬁce have warned. The wettest April to June on record, and further wet weather in July, September and October, has left river levels full, the ground saturated and groundwaters in some ar-

eas exceptionally high. Emergency responders as well as householders are being advised to be prepared for flooding, which, due to the saturated conditions, could occur with relatively small amounts of rain. Paul Mustow, head of flood incident management at the Environment Agency, said: “This year our flood defences have protected over 119,000 properties, but we cannot prevent flooding entirely.” He said

one in six homes were at risk of flooding. The Environment Agency and Met Office are warning that: •The South West of England is of particular risk of flooding from rivers in November and December with northern and western parts of England at Wales at increased risk after recent heavy rainfall. •Unseasonably high groundwater

levels mean there is increased risk of ﬂooding in the south and east of England with Devon, Dorset and Hampshire particularly at risk. •Flooding from surface water, where the amount of rainfall overwhelms the drainage network, is more likely as the ground is already saturated. •The risk of coastal ﬂooding also increases at this time of year, especially during periods of high spring tides from November 12-18 and and December 12-18.

Food may cause a third of greenhouse emissions

Rising sea forces islanders to mainland

Cuts are needed, from fertilisers to transport says new study

By Lomi Kriel

By Alister Doyle FOOD production accounts for up to 29 per cent of manmade greenhouse gases, twice the amount the United Nations has estimated comes from farming, a new study said. Looking at emissions across the food system - including forest clearance, fertiliser production and transport - rather than just farming itself - agriculture research organisation CGIAR said much more work was needed to cut climate change emissions from food. Its report, Climate Change and Food Systems, estimated food production was responsible for between 19 and 29 per cent of mankind’s total greenhouse emissions, far above UN estimates of 14 per cent based on a narrower definition of farming. “From a food point of view (the UN approach) doesn’t make sense,” said Bruce Campbell, who heads the CGIAR research programme on climate change, agriculture and food security. Many countries could make big cost savings by cutting emissions, he said. “There are good economic reasons to improve efficiency in agriculture, not just to cut greenhouse gas emissions.” China, for instance, could sharply reduce emissions with more efficient manufacture of fertilisers. Britain could cut emissions by consuming lamb transported from more efficient farms in New Zealand rather than raising its own sheep. Global changes in diet,

Climate change is likely to hit the world’s three biggest crops

shifting towards vegetarianism from meat, would also help. Growing crops to feed to cows, pigs or sheep takes up far more land and emits more greenhouse gases than producing crops for human consumption. A separate report by the CGIAR climate programme indicated that climate change is likely to reduce yields of the three biggest crops judged by calorie pro-

duction - maize, wheat and rice - in developing nations in coming decades. That could force some farmers to make radical shifts to growing more heat, ﬂood or drought-tolerant crops, according to the report, Recalibrating Food Production in the Developing World. More resilient crops including yam, barley, cowpea, millet, lentils, cassava and bananas could ﬁll in the gaps

caused by declining harvests of more sensitive crops, it said. “The world’s agricultural systems face an uphill struggle in feeding a projected nine to ten billion people by 2050. Climate change introduces a signiﬁcant hurdle in this struggle,” it said. The world population is now just above seven billion. The study also said that global warming, blamed by

a UN panel of climate experts mainly on the burning of fossil fuels, meant risks to food production far beyond ﬁelds. “Every step of the food chain - from the seed to the farm to the cooking pot - is at risk,” it said. Higher temperatures or ﬂoods could make it harder to store and transport food, for instance, meaning more outbreaks of food-borne illnesses.

New Zealand carbon scheme put on hold as prices plunge By Gyles Beckford JUST TWO years after expanding a scheme that was feted as the world’s only emissions trading scheme outside of Europe, New Zealand has effectively put the scheme on hold, just as other nations step into the carbon trading arena. The government says it can comfortably meet its 2008-12 emissions target under the UN Kyoto Protocol climate pact and will gauge the need for tougher action when it sees what other countries commit to in talks for

a new UN pact from 2020. New Zealand has said it would opt for emissions cuts of between 10 and 20 per cent from 1990 levels by 2020 depending on the ambition of the next pact. In the meantime, the government says the local carbon price should be kept as low as possible. “This means the emissions trading scheme will continue to deliver a price signal that falls far short of what is required to achieve any emission reductions at all,” said Lizzie Chambers of New Zealand online trading platform Carbon Match. Parliament is expected to approve

amendments within weeks to allow the unlimited ﬂow of cheap UN-based carbon offsets to New Zealand that have driven down the price of domestic pollution permits to a tenth of what they were last year. The proposals also extend indeﬁnitely a sweetener for polluters to submit one permit for every two tonnes of emissions. New Zealand is the only country to offer the scheme, which halves carbon costs and was due to end in late 2012 or early 2013. The result is that New Zealand polluters can meet their emissions obligations at a fraction of the cost paid

by their competitors in Europe and Australia. Cheap carbon costs give businesses little incentive to invest in ways to cut emissions. “Hollowing it out like this makes a farce of our climate change commitments,” independent Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Jan Wright, said in a recent statement, referring to the amendments. The government is under little pressure from voters to toughen a scheme launched in 2008 by a previous administration, unlike neighbouring Australia where voters have mandated tougher action on climate change.

EVERY rainy season, the Guna people living on the Panamanian white sand archipelago of San Blas brace themselves for waves gushing into their tiny mudfloor huts. Rising ocean levels caused by global warming and decades of coral reef destruction have combined with seasonal rains to submerge the Caribbean islands for days on end. Once rare, flooding is now so menacing that the Guna have agreed to abandon ancestral lands for an area within their semi-autonomous territory on the east coast of the mainland. “The people know this isn’t normal,” said Francisco Gonzalez, 38, the school principal on Carti Sugdub. “When the water comes in, they can’t do anything but wait.” It is the largest of the Guna’s 45 inhabited islands, and its planned evacuation is among the first blamed largely on climate change. Scientists say worldwide sea levels have risen about 3mm a year since 1993. Recent research suggests they could rise as much as 2m by 2100. The phenomenon threatens low-lying communities around the world. Central America, a strip of land between two oceans, is particularly vulnerable. In western El Salvador, rising tide has swallowed up at least 300m of mangroves separating residents of La Tirana from the Pacific. “It’s another example that climate change is here, and it’s here to stay,” said Hector Guzman, a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. The Guna have accelerated change by mining surrounding coral reefs to build up the islands. From 1970-2001, nearly 80 per cent of the peripheral coral disappeared as the Guna population more than doubled, Guzman and other Smithsonian researchers found. They say the dilemma faced by the Guna is a harbinger of what might happen to other low-lying lands protected by reefs. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide makes oceans more acidic, killing off coral.

Don’t Forget Dance Intuition breaks form Look out for the latest dance performance by .pelma. entitled IntuNition Early last week, IntuNition premiered in Limassol at the Rialto Theatre and proved a resounding success amongst audiences. For those of you unable to attend, be sure not to miss tomorrow’s ﬁnal performance at the new THOC theatre (central stage). In this new creation by .pelma., the dancers dare to enter unknown territory by using intuition as their only guide, to creating movement in the moment. IntuNition is all about breaking away from a traditional

On The Scene Theatre Baring the female psyche A spirited theatre community strives to offer a range of productions for theatregoers in the capital during this autumn/winter season; this week, however, there lies an alternative dramatic universe waiting to be discovered. Audiences willing to take a chance on delving into something less conventional can prepare for a mix of comedy and drama as XMAS productions presents a showcase entitled So What? In this showcase, Athena Xenidou directs nine dedicated amateur actresses in a variety of excerpts from works known and unknown that probe and reveal the female psyche. Hilarious and heartbreaking scenes alternate, creating a patchwork of monologues and dialogues that aim to provoke and stimulate the audience. While the human psyche is too complex to reach a concrete conclusion, different aspects of each performance endeavour to strike a chord with each audience member. Works by Michael Freyn, Jean Cocteau, Neil Simon, Chrysa Spilioti and others make up the material. A total of three shows are due to take place at Theatro Ena in Nicosia. The première tonight is now sold

contemporary dance aesthetic and taking the spectator into a world where energy becomes more powerful than form. The dancers’ actions and the spectators’ presence are all part of the same movement ritual; they are the embodied performance experience. For the uninitiated, .pelma. is a creative structure that supports, produces and presents performing and performance art that challenges, redeﬁnes and helps evolve dance and physical expression today. Founded in 2003 by choreographer Lia Haraki, it has been a major driving force behind the development of contemporary dance in Cyprus.

Bergman’s powerful script, After the Rehearsal, originally written for the screen in 1984, offers a window into the inherently complex process of staging a play, tearing down the illusion of the polished final piece and unveiling the intricate technical course behind its makings. As part of Theatro Ena’s 25th anniversary, what could only be termed an impressive ‘first reading’ of this influential material by a cast of well-versed professional actors, is on offer for the next two weeks in Nicosia and Limassol. The play depicts the complex relationship between Henry (Manolis Michaelides), a 60something director sitting pensively on the set of his latest production, and Anna (Penny Foiniri), the young girl he has cast as his lead actress, who lingers behind with the excuse of a lost bracelet. This simple scene instantly sparks expectations of flirtatious innuendo, yet

Tomorrow Music Around the world in one evening

Celebrated Dutch trombonist llja Reijngoud has put together a musical project along with the young and talented Elizabeth Simonian

Promoting the album Around the Word, Ilja Reijngoud and Elizabeth Simonian will be performing live on the Rialto Theatre stage tomorrow evening for a one-night only extravaganza. The album, which was released last summer, will form a basis for part of the concert which moves between Greek and Armenian folk music and Scandinavian Jazz. Music and sounds are enhanced by Swedish poetry, traditional songs and inﬂuences of the Mediterranean, coupled with personal compositions by Ilja Reijngoud. Both artists

disappointingly, the chemistry between these two promising characters exists only within the written lines. Fortunately, the one hour, 40 minute show is temporarily rescued by actress Erica Begeti, in the role of Henry’s deceased former star and lover (she appears in a reverie), who also happens to be Anna’s mother. Begeti takes full advantage of the opportunities offered by her role as a mentally unstable adulteress, bringing the stage to life with her colourful interpretation of insanity. As the action returns to the living, it again becomes clear that the show’s direction has paid little attention to the spoken lines themselves, for had they heeded the in-depth analysis included in the text of how to stage a theatre play, they may have been equipped to take it slightly further than a simple ‘reading’. Of course, the script does also advise that, should an actor be at a will be accompanied by Dutchman Thierry Castel on piano and Cypriot musicians, Andreas Rodosthenous on fretless electric bass and Stelios Xydias on drums. As one of Holland’s foremost trombonist/composers, Reijngoud began playing trombone at the age of 12, graduated cum laude from the Hilversum Conservatory in Holland in 1996 and was later hired by the conservatory to teach. In 1998, Reijngoud and his former teacher Bart van Lier founded an exclusive trombone department at the Rotterdam Conservatory. In recent years, he has taught clinics and workshops throughout Europe, as well as in Los Angeles and New Orleans. He has appeared on more than 30 recordings with such jazz luminaries as Clark Terry, Toots Thielemans, Kenny Werner, George Coleman, David Murray, Tom Harrell, and many others. He is a member of the Dutch Jazz Orchestra, the Houdinis, the Cubop

loss, he may dictate the lines ‘simply and clearly’, which, were this the intended direction, it was well met, particularly by the show’s protagonist, Manolis Michaelides. The lack of realism and authenticity in a setting that promises so much, cannot but ultimately disappoint, yet if one were to assume the absence of direction or creativity in the overall staging of this production was purposely intended to allow the script itself to take the limelight, then I must once again commend the company for accomplishing their mission.

Born in Cyprus to a Swedish mother and Armenian father, Simonian found her way to Holland to study music where she graduated with honours from the Rotterdam Conservatory last year. Her music, like her rich and diverse background, brings a unique atmosphere that merges jazz, pop and world music into intoxicating melting pot.

Greek ‘tax cheat’ list suicide, no o conviction Austerity measures: Greeks walk in central Athens

Anti-corruption journalist charged while corrupt go free report Renee Maltezou and Dina Kyriakidou

EONIDAS Tzanis, a Greek provincial lawyer and former government minister, went down to his basement garage in the city of Volos last month, tied a TV cable to a metal beam and hanged himself. Friends and family say Tzanis died because he was on a list, one of several hinting at financial crimes which are dominating Greek headlines and filling a vacuum created by the state’s failure to act decisively on tax evasion and corruption. Shortly before his suicide, the 57-year-old told a friend he could no longer bear the humiliation of seeing his name on a published list of politicians allegedly under investigation for offences ranging from tax evasion to amassing illegal wealth. “Half of me died with him,” said his brother Mihalis, 67, a retired taxi driver in Volos. “We come from a poor family and he was a self-made man. He was very sensitive and the list really affected him.” The list published by Greek website zougla.gr in late September named 36 politicians, past and present, who it says were being investigated by the financial crimes squad. It is just one of at least five lists that have driven Greek political gossip and headlines for the past couple of months. In the middle of a national crisis, and in the absence of effective action against tax cheats and the corrupt, the

lists occupy the ground somewhere between libellous rags and public charge sheets. Passed around by email, they are used by activists and journalists alike as a means of pressuring opponents. In the feverish atmosphere, some believe that good people are being pulled down with the bad. “The corrupt must be punished but innocent people are being dragged through the mud,” said parliamentary deputy Mihalis Karhimakis. He came to the defence of Tzanis, a fellow socialist. “I don’t believe he was implicated but some people are in the business of manufacturing guilty parties. How will they face God?” said Karhimakis, who appeared on the same list.

The government has not acknowledged the validity of any of the lists and nobody named has been charged with any wrong-doing. This has cemented Greeks’ belief that a corrupt and incompetent ruling class has led the nation into crisis. Both the conservative New Democracy and socialist PASOK parties, which have ruled Greece for decades, have repeatedly campaigned on anti-corruption tickets. Challenged on their failure to deliver results, they say it takes time to cure a chronic ill which is now in the hands of judicial authorities. “It is up to the justice system to investigate and the Greek government does not interfere,” a government ofﬁcial said on condition of ano-

The Samaras government has made no ofﬁcial comment on the list

Anti-austerity: more and more measures have seen more and more people out on the streets demonstrating

nymity. So far, the only other obvious casualty has been journalist Costas Vaxevanis, who was detained for publishing the ‘Lagarde List’, naming over 2,000 Greeks who held HSBC bank accounts in Switzerland. He was cleared by a court on Thursday of charges of breaching data privacy laws. Another list allegedly includes 50,000 Greeks who sent more than €100,000 abroad, a fourth carries those who moved out over €300,000 and a ﬁfth names people who bought property in cities such as London, Paris and New York in the last decade. Karhimakis, who has raised several scandals in parliament in recent years, said he had heard he was being investigated over what he says are false accusations that he owned three hotels, probably in revenge for his anti-corruption campaigning. Like several others on the list, he said he took legal steps to expunge his name and said he secured public assurances from ﬁnancial prosecutors that he is not being investigated. Karhimakis said Greek legal authorities were sometimes erratic, doing little to investigate the circumstances of Tzanis’ death or major cor-

ruption cases, but rushing to arrest Vaxevanis. “We have a two-speed justice system,” he said. The government says the judicial system is independent. In an uncommonly swift judicial move, the editor of the Hot Doc weekly magazine has already been tried for publishing the Lagarde List, which French authorities passed to Greece in 2010. Before his equally rapid acquittal on charges that carried up to two years in jail, his case had caused an uproar among press and rights groups abroad. Vaxevanis said three ministers had sat on the list for years and done nothing to bring tax dodgers to justice. “Various lists are circulating around newsrooms, creating a sick political climate and being used for blackmail,” said Vaxevanis, who said he received the list from an anonymous sender. “It’s time for authorities to stop telling the public fairy tales and start a real investigation into wrongdoing,” he said before the trial ended. “They are covering up for those responsible, the politicians behind this.” The published list of 2,059 names includes dozens of prominent Greeks such as shipping tycoons and two

politicians. It also names a painter, an actress and many listed as architects, doctors, lawyers and housewives. It does not include amounts. Greek ofﬁcials say the list originates from wide-ranging data stolen by a former HSBC employee, Herve Falciani, which the French authorities obtained. George Papaconstantinou, who was Greek ﬁnance minister at the time, has said he received the list

Vaxevanis said thre on the list for years to bring tax dod from Christine Lagarde, then his counterpart in Paris and now head of the International Monetary Fund. Lagarde and French ofﬁcials have not responded to requests for comment. Greek politicians have offered a variety of scenarios of what happened after the list arrived in Athens, but no full explanation of why authorities did not follow up on anything. Papaconstantinou testiﬁed to parliament last week that he received the list from La-

garde and passed about 20 names to the financial crimes squad for checks. Drawing jeers from MPs, Papaconstantinou said he then handed a CD with the data to an aide who appeared to have misplaced it. Evangelos Venizelos - who succeeded Papaconstantinou as finance minister and now leads the socialist party - said the squad’s chief gave him a USB flash drive containing a

e ministers had sat s and done nothing dgers to justice list, but he was not sure if this was the original or had any value. Venizelos delivered the drive to conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras a few weeks ago when he realised no other copy existed. The government has made no ofﬁcial comment but a source said the list was now in the hands of the justice system. In contrast to Greece, which kept the list in drawers for years, other authorities around Europe have used Falciani’s data to pur-

sue cases of suspected tax evasion. Athens has also been slow in clinching a deal with Swiss authorities on taxing money stashed away by wealthy Greeks in secret accounts. According to a May 2009 study by Helvea, Greeks held an estimate $27 billion in Switzerland. Britain and Germany have already signed agreements with Switzerland but Greek officials said preliminary talks launched last year were continuing and there was no progress to report. Swiss officials have not commented publicly on what is holding up the negotiations. Reuters contacted more than 20 of the more prominent figures on the Lagarde list. Most declined or were unavailable to comment, but some have come forward to defend themselves. Journalist Yiorgos Trangas said he ended up with a Swiss account by accident after HSBC bought Britain’s Midland Bank, where he had an account at its Athens branch. Trangas said he cut his ties with the bank 12 years ago. Businessman Lavrentis Lavrentiadis, who was charged by a Greek public prosecutor for fraud over a scandal that has led to the demise of the small Greek bank Proton,

told Reuters his Swiss account was part of legitimate business activities. He is awaiting trial on charges of defrauding the government and embezzling funds from Proton Bank, where he was a major shareholder, but he denies any wrongdoing. “There is nothing grey and nothing illegal,” said Lavrentiadis about his Swiss account. “The account for which I am listed has less than €50,000.” The Lagarde list, which was also published by the major daily Ta Nea last Monday with extensive disclaimers about its validity, has so far produced no obvious leads into tax evasion. Experts estimate that Greece’s shadow economy amounted to more than a quarter of annual output in 2011, the highest level in the European Union and up slightly from 2009. A June study by the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago found that tax evasion cost the Greek state €28 billion in 2009. This equated to 31 per cent of the budget deﬁcit that year, and it said the prime evaders were outwardly respectable professionals such as doctors and lawyers. The researchers did not need to count the yachts moored in expensive marinas

Obvious casualty: journalist Costas Vaxevanis

or the mansions with swimming pools on Greek islands to make their point. Gaining access to data at a top Greek bank, they found that professionals had debt repayments that almost exceeded the income they declared to the tax authorities. The self-employed earned 1.92 times the amount they reported, they said. In a recent crackdown on tax dodgers meant to show the public some action is being taken, police arrested 1,114 Greeks in the ﬁrst nine months of the year - from doctors to shop owners - but with little ﬁnancial gain for

the state. Deputy Finance Minister Yiorgos Mavragannis told parliament in October that Greece had gathered just €19 million out of the €13 billion it is owed in uncollected taxes. Financial crime units have bitterly complained in the past about cracking cases and arresting suspects only to see them get off on technicalities after several years in the justice system. A 2009 promise to create special tax courts has remained in the planning stages. Court ofﬁcials deny accusations they are chasing journalists who expose corrup-

tion while dragging their feet on prosecuting tax cheats. One official said the first published list, which prompted Tzanis’ suicide, did not bring arrests because it named public figures not private citizens. This lack of action is fanning anger among a public which is often turning to extremist parties to protest waves of salary cuts and tax increases sweeping away their standard of living. With none of the politicians implicated in a series of scandals convicted, the whole political class is held responsible and prominent figures are often heckled or attacked on the street. In Volos, where in Greek mythology Jason and the Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece, some local people had little sympathy for Tzanis. “If I were clean, I wouldn’t be afraid of any list,” said sales clerk Yannis Spyropoulos, 35. One local resident said Greece’s crisis has claimed many more victims than Tzanis. “This death shook me,” said neighbour Aspa Theodorou, 42, a housewife. “But I am moved more by the innocent, anonymous citizens who kill themselves because they are victims of this crisis.”

Television PICK OF THE DAY Game Change (LTV, 21.00) With some movies, you take out pretty much what you brought in. That’s the challenge facing Game Change, a star-studded, fast-moving, generally entertaining film about Sarah Palin, John McCain and the 2008 election. No matter how hard screenwriter Danny Strong and director Jay Roach (previously teamed for Recount) may have tried to be fair to Palin — and reasonable people will disagree over how hard they tried — their work will be filtered through viewers’ perceptions. If you like Palin and think she’s of presidential calibre, you’ll find her portrayal as a well-meaning but ill-prepared, poorly educated, overambitious politician to be deeply offensive. On the other hand, if you just read that description and nodded in agreement, you won’t find the film revelatory but are primed to enjoy it. That’s not to say viewers with a negative impression of Palin won’t be surprised by anything in Julianne Moore’s portrayal of the vice presidential candidate. Much of it is makeup and mimicry, but there are times she may make even the most vehement Palin critic feel for her. In one scene, as Palin watches Tina Fey mock her on Saturday

Night Live, she brings home the pain that seeing yourself ridiculed for a national audience must provoke. Yet in many ways, the movie is less about Palin, who did not co-operate with the filmmakers, than it is about McCain’s co-campaign manager Steve Schmidt, who did. Played by Woody Harrelson in one of the movie’s strongest performances, Schmidt, who has dedicated heart and soul to McCain (Ed Harris, also excellent), occupies the moral centre as the man who chooses Palin in hopes she can revitalise the campaign and comes to regret it. What follows is a rhythmic pattern: Palin being adored in public by evergrowing crowds and ridiculed in private by evermore concerned advisers. Is the film fair? The filmmakers insist they were following the book, but even if you accept the book as accurate, a movie is more than facts. An inflection here, a look there, the entire meaning of a sentence can change. Pleasure, you may get out of Game Change. Truth will be in the eye of the beholder. Made in 2012.

The Caine Mutiny (Novacinema3, 18.50) Always a bit surprising when they stick an oldie on the schedules - but I’m pretty sure this is the 50s classic with Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg (there’s a madefor-TV remake, but that has a slightly different title), second only to Captain Bligh in the annals of villainous sea-captains. Actually, Queeg is even worse, not just a martinet like Bligh but a coward, and possibly insane as well. The men of the USS Caine - a rather dilapidated warship during WW2 - put up with his surly manner and general unpleasantness for a while, but eventually things come to a head and the ship’s Executive Officer (Van Johnson) relieves the Captain of his command, leading to a court-martial for mutiny. A big fi lm of its time, based on a big bestseller and Broadway play, and it’s rather charmless - none of the characters are very likeable, least of all a bland young Ensign who acts as our identification figure - yet it works really well, building up a sense of oppressive pettiness. Made in 1954.

Happythankyoumoreplease (Novacinema2, 20.15) Funnytitlemakesnosense - but then neither do the lives of our five heroes, late 20-somethings in bohemian New York. Sam (Josh Radnor, who also wrote and directed) is a struggling writer who semi-adopts a lost little boy he fi nds on the subway; Mailin Akerman is Annie, who suffers from alopecia (aka baldness) but is trying to be thankful; Kate Mara is a singer, Zoe Kazan a girl who’s unhappy with her boyfi rend (Pablo Schreiber). “With very little modification, the relationship woes in this self-absorbed indie could be reworked into episodes of TV’s How I Met Your Mother,” wrote Entertainment Weekly - maybe because Radnor plays Ted on that show - and it does give off that plastic sitcom vibe, it’s trendy people turning out to be basically hollow. OKthankyougoawaynow. Made in 2010.

Everybody Wins (Capital, 21.00) Everybody wins - yet in fact everybody lost with this quirky neo-noir, a fi lm that flopped dismally despite being written by legendary playwright Arthur Miller and starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger. Nick’s a private eye, Debra an ex-hooker who wants him to investigate a murder case; a prominent doctor has been killed, and his nephew convicted of the crime. Debra insists there’s been a miscarriage of justice and “everybody” knows who the real killer is - but is this moody, volatile woman really trustworthy? “She’s out of control, and Winger makes her irrationality passionately real,” wrote Pauline Kael, one of the few who raved about the fi lm (calling it “slyly funny” and a potential “minor classic”); 22 years later, it may be time for a second look. Made in 1990.

HOROSCOPE

Across

ARIES March 21 - April 20

LEO July 23 - August 22

SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 21

The temptation of fun pursuits may be strong, but could also potentially, prove disappointing. A plan or a friend may not be what you think. On a similar note, communication with a loved one may fall short of your expectations. Be patient, avoid the temptation “to tell”, or to rock the boat. However, if diplomacy might help, do embrace it.

It helps to connect with inﬂuential people and to keep your conﬁdence high. You have a natural instinct when it comes to knowing who can help you advance your goals, and who may prove a hindrance. Business deals may be worth looking into, but as Mercury rewinds, don’t expect immediate results. Real progress will take time.

You may have to deal with people whose scope and vision is not as expansive as yours, which means you could be a target of criticism. Let it roll off your back and don’t worry. Pursue goals and ambitions, but don’t be in too much of a hurry. Mercury retrograde may cause a few delays, but in time you’ll see it could work for rather than against you.

TAURUS April 21 - May 21

VIRGO August 23 - September 23

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 20

A job or career sacriﬁce may have you feeling anxious, or perhaps a household repair or issue may see you on edge. Someone close to home though can have good news, and you’ll recognise the timely information they bring. Putting energy into your job and routine chores pays off. The more people around, the better your chances of success.

Good fortune may come to domestic affairs and family conditions. This may be where you feel most comfortable today. Yet what others have to say or contribute may be at odds with your feelings. However, your mind and emotions seem to be working together and you’ll be quick to let others know what you need. Try to relax a little more.

You may be full of good ideas and have a constructive impact on people that you come into contact with today. You’ll do ﬁne as long as spending isn’t involved, as your judgment may be off in this regard. You are usually very astute when it comes to handling money, but there’s a risk you may be led astray. Stay clear of get-rich-quick schemes.

GEMINI May 22 - June 21

LIBRA September 24 - October 23

AQUARIUS January 21 - February 19

Mercury turns retrograde today, so you may encounter misunderstandings or mixed signals in your relationships with others. Deals or contracts may be tricky and there may be glitches. However, there’s a chance that you’ll feel a lot more inspired, and may come up with ideas that are right out of the box. Plus, a sudden romantic hope can emerge.

It could be a fun kind of day, spent with friends who are very easy to get along with. An afternoon ﬁlm may be the focus of the day. Your communication zone suggests you could do research, study, stay at home and enjoy reading, or have people over for a nice meal. You can strengthen a budding relationship tonight if you’re prepared for that talk.

Heart-to-heart talks can do much to improve a relationship. Why? Well Mercury begins a retreat today, and this may be a great time to clear the air and make a fresh start. A friend’s input could be a valuable resource, as they may be able to help resolve an ongoing difﬁculty. Be progressive, modern and cutting edge where money matters ﬁgure.

CANCER June 22 - July 22

SCORPIO October 24 - November 22

PISCES February 20 - March 20

An ability to get ideas across and communicate your feelings pays off at work and within relationships. Be willing to give more than you expect to receive, and you may ﬁnd communications ﬂow smoothly as a result. The focus today may be on health. Overindulgence could take its toll - so do take it easy. However, some gentle exercise can help.

Pursue studies and make enquiries this morning. It may be necessary to strike a balance between giving too much or too little. You may have to cut someone some slack, but certainly not to the point of being taken advantage of. Carefully reﬂect on news, paperwork, information and communications or anything to do with managing ﬁnances.

Be realistic in making choices involving your career or health in order to avoid problems. Keep things simple and by doing so, you’ll ﬁnd it easier to get ahead. Today, a window of opportunity may open, helping your career to move along. The outcome may not manifest immediately, but if you are patient you may be rewarded in the near future.

Sport Murray recovers to beat Berdych at ATP Tour Finals

IN BRIEF Poulter champion in China

Brit’s first home match since US Open win By Martyn Herman U.S. Open champion Andy Murray recovered from a faltering start to beat Tomas Berdych in his first match on home soil since winning his maiden grand slam title as the ATP World Tour Finals began in London’s Docklands yesterday. Murray, the world number three, was greeted on court at the cavernous O2 Arena like a returning hero, but the atmosphere was subdued as Berdych took the first set before the Scot turned things round to win 3-6 6-3 6-4 in the opening Group A clash. World number one Novak Djokovic, the man Murray conquered to win his first grand slam title less than two months ago in New York, opened against JoWilfried Tsonga late last night. Murray’s inability to convert the numerous break points he engineered almost cost him against Czech Berdych. The Olympic champion was 15-40 ahead on Berdych’s serve in the opening

game and was 0-40 up in fifth game but was frustrated as Berdych produced some brutal attacking tennis to stay on terms. The first set then swung Berdych’s way with a spurt of 13 points out of 15, including a crucial service break in the sixth game when a Murray yanked a forehand low into the net. Berdych had to save another break point as he served for the first set at 5-3 but again Murray could not convert his chance and Berdych sealed the opener when a Murray forehand flicked the net tape and sailed long.

TURNING POINT Murray saved two break points at 1-1 in the second set and finally achieved a service break, at the 11th attempt, in the following game despite Berdych again battling back from 0-40. That proved the turning point as Murray, with the 20,000 crowd finally coming to life, fired himself up and began to dominate the baseline exchanges.

After levelling the match he gained a decisive break of serve in the third game of the decider against a becalmed Berdych and held on for victory, only his fourth in eight matches against Berdych, sealing it when his opponent slapped a backhand into the net. “It was very tough from the start,” Murray told BBC Sport after the match. “Berdych has had a great year. I have played him a few times this year and every time it has been tough. “I have played some big matches in London this year and the support right throughout has been great. “It’s one last push for the end of the year and having so many people watching helps with the adrenaline. “If you can you need to treat it like a knockout event because if you win the first two matches you usually go through.” Defending champion Roger Federer begins today against world number nine Janko Tipsarevic, who qualified for the eight-man finale in the absence of the injured Rafael Nadal.

Joy: Andy Murray opened the prestigious event in London with a tough win over Tomas Berdych

Raikkonen wins Abu Dhabi thriller By Alan Baldwin

The victory was Kimi Raikkonen’s ﬁrst since 2009 and Lotus’ ﬁrst since 1987

KIMI Raikkonen won an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix thriller for Lotus on Sunday while Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel defended his Formula One championship lead by fighting sensationally through the field from last place to third. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso finished runner-up, just 0.8 seconds behind the Finn after reeling him in with a string of fastest laps, to close the gap with Vettel to 10 points with two races remaining. On an evening with a huge crash, two safety car interludes and a string of retirements including McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton while leading from pole position, the floodlit Yas Marina circuit hosted one of the sport’s great races and kept the stewards busy. The victory was Raikkonen’s first since 2009 when the 2007 world champion won in Belgium, the 19th of his career, and made him the eighth different driver to triumph in 18 races so far this season. He stopped just once.

Vettel, who had to start from the pit lane due to a fuel irregularity and ﬁnally set the fastest lap of what he called a ‘crazy race’, now has 255 points to Alonso’s 245 and can clinch a third successive title in Austin, Texas, in two weeks if results go his way. “I went to see Sebastian before the race and he said ‘I’ll see you on the podium’,” said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner of a race in which Vettel’s run of four successive wins come to an end but added considerably to his reputation as a true champion. “I think it’s one of the best of his career. He really went for it. To go from pit lane to podium is phenomenal.” Red Bull could have clinched the constructors’ championship for the third year in a row on Sunday but were made to wait after Australian Mark Webber crashed out. They now have 422 points to Ferrari’s 340 with 86 remaining to be won. Vettel, who had led every lap of the last three races, and Alonso are the only drivers still in contention for the

title with Raikkonen third overall but 57 behind Red Bull’s 25-year-old German. Raikkonen, a man who has always done his talking on the track, swigged from his bottle of fizzy non-alcoholic rose water on the podium as the other two sprayed theirs at him. Asked in front of the crowd by retired McLaren team mate David Coulthard what it was like to win again, the 33-year-old Finn replied in the deadpan fashion his myriad fans have come to love: “Not much really. “Last time you guys were giving me grief because I didn’t smile enough but I’m happy for the team. It’s been a hard season and not easy times lately,” he added. “Hopefully this will give everyone belief and turn the tables so we can win more races, if not this year then next year.” The win was the first since 1987 by a car racing under the Lotus name, although the new Lotus is effectively the old championship-winning Renault outfit that Alonso took his two titles with.

IAN Poulter carded a final round of 65 to seal a twoshot victory in the HSBCWGC Champions Tournament at Missions Hills on Sunday, becoming the first Englishman to win two World GolfChampionships events. Poulter started his final round four shots behind joint leaders Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood, but clawed his way to the top after matching the seven-under-par 65 he shot a day earlier to finish on a combined 21 under. Poulter, who also won the 2010 WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, finished two strokes ahead of South African Ernie Els (67) and US trio Jason Dufner (64), Scott Piercy (65) and Phil Mickelson (68), who had a chance to finish second on his own but missed a five-foot putt on the last. Westwood and Oosthuizen finished tied for sixth, three shots adrift, after carding matching level par 72s. Poulter conceded he thought the tournament was Oosthuizen’s to lose after the South African burst to the top of the leaderboard at 16 under after the second round. He could only look on as Lee Westwood fired a 61 and Brandt Snedeker flirted with a 59 in the third round before finally carding a course record 60. Poulter, however, refused to go away, and carded backto-back seven under 65s on Saturday and Sunday to take the title.

Broad adds to injuries ENGLAND fast bowler Stuart Broad has suffered a bruised left heel and his progress will be observed over the next couple of days, the country’s cricket board (ECB) said yesterday. The 26-year-old, leading the tourists in the second warm-up game against Mumbai A in place of the rested Alastair Cook, felt discomfort in his left ankle on Sunday and did not bowl after tea. The tourists are already sweating over the fitness of paceman Steven Finn, who limped off the field on the opening day of England’s first warm-up match with a right thigh strain. England will play their final warm-up match from Thursday against Haryana before the four-Test series against India starts in Ahmedabad on November 15.

Sport Ayew brothers on target for Marseille

Impressive Inter end Juve’s record unbeaten run

BROTHERS Andre and Jordan Ayew grabbed a goal apiece as Marseille joined Paris St Germain on top of Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win at AC Ajaccio on Sunday. Andre was in the middle of a packed goalmouth when he poked the ball home 10 minutes into the second half. His younger brother and fellow Ghana forward Jordan added the second goal three minutes from time as Marseille moved up to second place with 22 points, trailing PSG on goal difference. “It is never easy to come and win here. We did not play a good ﬁrst half but after the break we were rewarded for our efforts,” winger Mathieu Valbuena told TV channel BeIN Sport. “The most important thing is that we closed the gap on Paris. It’s a good morale boost.” Marseille also have a game in hand on PSG who lost 2-1 at home to St Etienne on Saturday. Lyon are one point behind in third place after they beat Bastia 5-2 in a game where two players were sent off. Toulouse are fourth on 19 points after they slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Girondins Bordeaux who moved up to seventh spot on 18.

Napoli fail to close on the Serie A leaders INTER Milan head coach Andrea Stramaccioni relished the opportunity to make Juventus director general Beppe Marotta eat his words as the Nerazzurri ended the Serie A champions’ unbeaten run over the weekend with a 3-1 victory. A brace from Diego Milito and a final coup de grace from Rodrigo Palacio were enough for Inter to overcome Arturo Vidal’s early goal and deny Juve the chance to go 50 league games without defeat. The Milan club also closed the gap at the top of the table to a single point, and Stramaccioni admitted Marotta’s pre-match mindgames had steeled his resolve to oversee a victory. The Juve chief had accused Stramaccioni of being tactically naive before the game, but a victorious Stramaccioni told Gazzetta.it: “I think we deserve respect. “What Marotta said before the game troubled me. He made a sarcastic comment about our lack of preparation. “We work very hard and that’s clear, we made it difficult for a team that has been the strongest in Italy for the last two years.” Juve remain first in the standings, nevertheless. “This result doesn’t change much, but it was a show of force. We haven’t achieved anything yet.” Vidal had the hosts ahead within just 18 seconds at a

sold-out Juventus Stadium, but if anything, the setback steeled Stramaccioni’s men and they steadily began to dominate the game. Marotta, speaking on behalf of suspended Bianconeri boss Antonio Conte, said: “Inter made the most of the chances they created, and we didn’t. “Unfortunately we lost, the fact that it was against Inter hurts a bit. “We are still proud of these lads, who didn’t lose for 49 games, but now we must look forward. “The Nerazzurri will compete at the top right until the end, we accept this defeat and we’re not going to make any bones about it. “The loss represents an opportunity to improve, we will watch the video of the game and evaluate what went wrong.” Elsewhere, a blunder by defender Salvatore Aronica allowed Torino to score a stoppage-time equaliser to draw 1-1 at third-placed Napoli after the hosts had led for 85 minutes through Edinson Cavani’s early strike. The Torino goal, converted by Gianluca Sansone, ended Napoli’s 100 per cent home record and prevented them taking full advantage of Juventus’ defeat. Juve lead the way with 28 points from 11 games followed by Inter on 27, Napoli on 23 and Fiorentina on 21. Uruguay forward Cavani re-

turned for Napoli after missing two games through injury and made an immediate impact as he turned Marek Hamsik’s pass into the net in the sixth minute. On a wet afternoon at a halfempty San Paolo, sloppy Napoli wasted chances to seal victory especially when Hamsik rounded Jean Gillet and shot into the side-netting ﬁve minutes from time. Aronica’s lazy back pass was then intercepted by Sansone who rounded Morgan De Sanctis to equalise for Torino. Coach Walter Mazzarri missed the shambles leading up to Torino’s equaliser as he had been sent off for protesting seconds earlier. Roma substitute Mattia Destro meanwhile scored a goal and was sent off in 60 eventful seconds on Sunday in his erratic team’s 4-1 win over Palermo. Roma, who have the best goals total (26) and second worst defensive tally (20) in the league, led 2-0 at halftime through Francesco Totti and Pablo Osvaldo, a scoreline that was bound to test the frayed nerves of their supporters. Zdenek Zeman’s wildly unpredictable team, sixth in the table on 17 points, have twice squandered 2-0 leads and lost 3-2 at home this season but this time went on to add a third of their own through Erik Lamela in the 69th minute.

Panathinaikos edge AEK in tense derby Two goals from Diego Milito helped Inter Milan stop Juventus’ unbeaten run at 49 games

Barca equal best La Liga start By Iain Rogers

A resurgent David Villa (right) was on target for the unbeaten Catalan giants

BARCELONA equalled the La Liga record for the most points after ten games and moved three clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of the table thanks to a 3-1 win at home to Celta Vigo over the weekend. A resurgent David Villa netted himself and also created a goal for Jordi Alba after Adriano had opened the scoring at the Nou Camp as Tito Vilanova’s unbeaten side moved on to 28 points, matching the previous best set by arch rivals Real Madrid. However, Atletico’s undefeated run ended when they lost 2-0 at Valencia after Roberto Soldado’s stunning 20th-minute volley and a clever finish from substitute Nelson Valdez in the fifth minute of added time. Valencia, who climbed to seventh on 14 points, finished with 10 men after

Ricardo Costa was sent off late on for a second yellow card. Champions Real, recovering from a shaky start to the campaign, climbed above Malaga into third thanks to a 4-0 home win over Real Zaragoza. The club’s Argentina team mates Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria and new signings Michael Essien and Luka Modric were all on the scorsheet. Real, who looked far from their best despite the lopsided scoreline, have 20 points, eight behind Barca. Barca’s win means that Vilanova, who stepped up from assistant coach to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of last season, has made a better start to the La Liga season than any of his predecessors at the club. Dutchman Louis van Gaal held the previous Barca record after his side won eight of their opening 10

matches in the 1997-98 campaign, when they went on to win the title. “The points that we have are more important than the record,” Vilanova told a news conference. “More than a record it’s a sign of the desire this team has.” Real’s win at home to Zaragoza was Jose Mourinho’s 100th since he took over in 2010. However, the scoreline was harsh on the visitors, who conceded two late goals, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s eight-game scoring streak came to a frustrating end. Mourinho said he was pleased with the performances of Essien and Modric, who started in central midﬁeld in place of the suspended Xabi Alonso and the injured Sami Khedira. “The two who replaced them did a job that was not easy,” Mourinho told a news conference. “The amount of work they put in meant they were also able to score.”

A GOAL from Spanish striker Toche earned Panathinaikos a 1-0 victory over AEK Athens in a nervy Athenian derby on Sunday as the Greens moved into the top six of the Super League. Toche guided home Lazaros Christodoulopoulos’ precise left-wing cross from close range after 24 minutes to clinch three vital points for Jesualdo Ferreira’s stuttering side, who have endured a slow start to the season. Panathinaikos had goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis to thank after the Greece international pulled off a string of saves in the second half to deny the visitors an equaliser. The result saw Panathinaikos move into sixth spot with 12 points from nine games, while struggling AEK remain bottom of the 16-team table with just ﬁve points. Leaders Olympiakos Piraeus have maintained a ﬁve-point advantage over second-placed PAOK Salonika after a 2-0 home win over OFI Crete. Leonardo Jardim’s men remain unbeaten, having won eight of their nine matches to collect 25 points.

Anorthosis and AEK march on, AEL and Omonia drop points By Nemanja Bjedov

Luis Suarez was at his brilliant best against Newcastle, but his seventh league goal still wasn’t enough for all three points

Rodgers aiming to help super Suarez in January Liverpool boss admits Reds have an over-reliance on striker By Carl Markham LIVERPOOL manager Brendan Rodgers admits his team have an over-reliance on Luis Suarez when it comes to scoring goals but he hopes to rectify the situation in the January transfer window. The Uruguay international was at his brilliant best in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle, producing a superb equaliser to cancel out Yohan Cabaye’s opener just before half-time. His constant running and teasing of the Magpies defence also led to visiting captain Fabricio Coloccini being sent off late on for a foul on

the 25-year-old. Suarez has scored seven league goals this season - in his last nine matches - which is more than half the team’s tally for the campaign. “It was a brilliant goal for Luis and a terriﬁc performance and it bodes well for us going forward,” said Rodgers. “It doesn’t worry me. He gets picked to score goals but of course I would want them to be more spread out. “Everyone knows that is the key feature for us. We need to get goals from other areas but I can’t complain when we play to that level. “Once we get that type of player in that is really going to ﬁnish off a lot of great

work for us. “We play Suarez in that false nine role. He’s not a traditional number nine who’s up there, stood, static. “That’s why when we get a number of players in who can work off his qualities, that’s going to make us a real threat. “I ask him to get on the move and get defenders out of their positions. “His cleverness and movement at the moment is world class. It’s then important that we’ve got men running in off that. “If we can add to the group, you can see the excitement in our team.” Liverpool dominated throughout but their failure

to take chances would have cost them had it not been for their mercurial South American forward. Cabaye’s goal was good, taking one touch to control Hatem Ben Arfa’s cross before smashing a half-volley past Brad Jones just before half-time. But Suarez’s control in bringing down Jose Enrique’s 50-yard ball with his shoulder and shimmying past goalkeeper Tim Krul was sublime. Even Newcastle manager Alan Pardew had to agree. “Suarez is a top player. He caused us problems and when he plays the game in the right spirit he is a fantastic player,” he said.

QPR’s Djibril Cisse equalised against Reading - but both sides are still winless

MARK Hughes insists it is just a matter of time before QPR’s season turns around despite watching them rack up a tenth Barclays Premier League match without victory. Sunday’s clash at Loftus Road between Rangers and Reading pitted the only two teams in the league without a win this season against each other, and it remained that way as they played out a 1-1 draw. Former QPR defender Kaspars Gorkss put Reading ahead in the 16th minute after Sean Morrison had hit the bar from a corner but the hosts improved as the match went on and Djibril Cisse equalised 24 minutes from time. Rangers looked the more likely to win it and would have but for a brilliant save from Alex McCarthy, who had earlier pushed an Esteban Granero free-kick on to the bar, to deny Adel Taarabt in the 83rd minute. The result lifted QPR above Southampton

on goals scored at the bottom but they remain ﬁve points from safety, with Reading a point better off. Much was expected from Rangers this season after their summer spending spree and the frustration of the home fans was audible throughout the match. Hughes said: “We’re disappointed because we didn’t get the three points we wanted but you’ve got to give credit to the opposition. “In the ﬁrst half we knew what they were going to do, we’ve prepared for it all week and it shouldn’t have been a shock to us. But we came back. “I think the vast majority of fans understand the team was trying really hard not to just sit on a 1-1 draw, and they appreciated that. We’re working exceptionally hard on a daily basis to turn this around and we’ll get there, we know that. “The sooner it turns around the better”

side have yet to concede a goal this season “AEP had their chances to score, but they did not take them and eventually we prevailed. I will give my players two days off in order to rest and regroup as we have difficult matches ahead of us,” Ben Shimon added. AEL meanwhile could only draw 1-1 draw against Ethnikos Achnas at the Tsirion Stadium in Limassol. Dosa Junior put the defending champions ahead two minutes into first half injury time, but his goal was cancelled out by Marco Paixao just after the hour mark. Apollon are fifth with 13 points after beating Alki 3-1 in Larnaca, while Omonia are sixth with ten points after another disappointing performance in a 1-1 draw against Doxa Katokopia at the Ammochostos Stadium. Toni Savevski’s men took the lead through Andre Alves’ penalty 20 minutes from time, but they were denied their first back-toback victories of the season by Ricardo Fernandes deep into injury time. Elsewhere, Olympiakos Nicosia managed to put the financial problems surrounding the club out of sight, at least temporarily, with a 2-1 victory away from home against Enosis Neon Paralimni. In the final game of Round 8 last night, APOEL went top of the table after thrashing Ayia Napa 4-1 at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia.

ANORTHOSIS and AEK recorded victories over the weekend to stay unbeaten after eight league matches, while defending champions AEL and Nicosia giants Omonia each dropped two points as they had to settle for 1-1 draws. “We expected a difficult match as opponents raise their game against us,” said Anorthosis coach Ronny Levy after his team narrowly defeated Nea Salamina 1-0. The only goal of the match came in the 64th minute courtesy of a Juliano Spadacio penalty. “I am pleased with our overall performance, but it was obvious that we still have plenty of room for improvement. However, it is important that we managed to win. It is difficult to play against opponents who are defensively very well-organised,” Levy added. AEK left it late to sink AEP 3-0 in Paphos, only breaking the deadlock fifteen minutes from time through Gorka Pintado. Tom Daemen doubled his side’s lead ten minutes later, while Pintado set up the final score in the last minute with his second goal of the day. “I want to congratulate my players. We had a good game against a good opponent away from home which makes our win even more important,” said coach Ran Ben Shimon whose AEK

M Champ: Nasser Al-Attiyah (right) loves racing in Cyprus, having scored numerous wins in the island’s motorsport events

Al-Attiyah charges to Cyprus Rally victory AFTER a gripping weekend’s action, Qatar’s Nasser Al-Attiyah charged to a flying victory in the Cyprus Rally on Sunday. Displaying the skill that has seen him score numerous wins in Cyprus motorsport events, including victory at the 2010 Cyprus Rally, Al-Attiyah and co-driver Giovanni Bernacchini steered their Ford Fiesta RRC to a memorable 3 minute 35.3 second victory over closest rival and last year’s winner Andreas Mikkelsen of Norway. Mikkelsen won’t be feeling too distraught, however, as he’s still crowned the 2012 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) champion – making him the first driver to defend an IRC title. The final round of the 2012 IRC and the penultimate round of this year’s FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC), this year’s Cyprus Rally has delivered action and drama from the off, with Mikkelsen scoring a plethora of fastest stage times, including taking the early event lead on Friday night in his Skoda Fabia S2000, winning the thrilling Super Special Stage in downtown Paphos that got the event underway in dramatic style. Things changed on Saturday morning though, when puncture woes slowed Mikkelsen on the first stage of the day and allowed London 2012 Olympic medalist Al-Attiyah to charge to the head of the field in his Ford. Mikkelsen continued to show blistering pace through the rest of the day, but it wasn’t enough to catch Al-Attiyah, who managed to clock up a 1m 30.2s overnight lead, with Mikkelsen second and Qatar’s Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari 3rd in his MINI JCW. Al-Kuwari crashed out in his MINI on Sunday’s first stage, however, and Al-Attiyah’s win here this weekend puts him at the head of the MERC leadership

board (with 68 points) with just one event to go in Dubai, later this month. Sunday morning saw the crews exit the Paphos Service Park under the heat of the Cyprus sun and Mikkelsen quickly showed he was in no mood for taking prisoners, delivering fastest times on each of the morning’s three stages. By lunchtime, Al-Attiyah had done enough to retain his overall event lead, but Mikkelsen was pressing hard and had reduced the gap between the two to 49 seconds. Al-Attiyah was fastest out of the gate on the first of the afternoon’s repeat loop of stages, storming through the predominantly gravel Prodromi 2 stage (SS11) far faster than he managed earlier in the day. Mikkelsen’s chances of overall event victory were effectively scuppered on SS11 when a puncture caused him a huge delay, losing a full 1 minute 55.1 seconds against his Qatari rival. Andreas Aigner came through the stage 2nd fastest. Al-Attiyah continued to stamp his authority on the all-gravel Gialia stage, widening the gap between him and 2nd fastest Mikkelsen by a further 5.6 seconds. Sepp Wiegand and Andreas Aigner managed third and fourth fastest, while Toshi Arai continued to show category-leading pace in 5th, followed by Jarkko Nikara. Al-Attiyah finished the event in style, flying through the final stage of the day – the all-tarmac SS13 Stavros 2 – faster than the rest of the field. Arai finished the stage third fastest, behind Nikara. Arai’s performance was enough to see him finish the event in third place overall and first among the IRC Production Cup drivers. The 2012 Cyprus Rally saw crews cover a total of 694.76km. Visit the official event website at www. cyprusrally.com.cy

ANCHESTER City’s millions of dollars will count for precious little if they lose to Ajax Amsterdam and crash out of the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium tonight. Roberto Mancini’s expensively-assembled English champions face elimination from the group stages for the second successive season following two defeats and a draw from their opening three Group D matches. Their latest European adventure ended in a conclusive 3-1 defeat in Amsterdam two weeks ago and that result, together with a 3-2 defeat at Real Madrid and a 1-1 home draw with Borussia Dortmund, has left their future in the competition dangling by a thread. Dortmund lead the way with seven points followed by Real who have six and Ajax (three). City (one) will need to improve their game significantly to overtake the sides ahead of them and reach the last 16 - and that is if other results go in their favour. City have also looked unimpressive in their last three Premier League games against West Bromwich Albion, Swansea City and West Ham United where they drew 0-0 on Saturday and although they are the only team still to lose in the top ﬂight, they have rarely played like champions. Mancini said after the goalless draw at Upton Park that his team needed to recapture the attacking verve which helped them clinch last season’s league title. “We missed so many chances against West Ham and when you miss these kinds of chances you cannot expect to win,” he explained. “We have improved our defensive play but we need to start scoring like last year and I think we need to improve our offensive play.” Mancini has already said his side need “a miracle” to qualify from their group. Elsewhere, Barcelona, Manchester United, Porto and unlikely contenders Malaga can book their tickets to the knockout stages by winning this week. The quartet have all won the opening three group games and if they win a fourth will take their places in the last 16 with two matches to

On the brink: the big-spending English champs face elimination from the group stages for the second straight season spare. Schalke and Shakhtar Donetsk could also take a big stride towards qualiﬁcation with victories while champions Chelsea and former winners Juventus are under severe pressure. “The Champions League is reaching a critical phase and we cannot afford any more mistakes,” said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. “But this group of players is strong, we have belief and we go to Schalke on Tuesday believing we can get a good result there.”

IN THE BALANCE After beating Montpellier and Olympiakos in their opening two Group B games, Arsenal lost 2-0 at home to Schalke two weeks ago and another defeat in Germany would put their hopes in the balance. Things look far rosier for United who, without playing particularly well, have won their three Group H matches and go to Portugal’s Braga tomorrow in good spirits having gone top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Arsenal at the weekend. Barcelona can guarantee a place in the last 16 by winning at Celtic tomorrow, as can Porto with a victory at

Dynamo Kiev. Malaga need to triumph tonight at AC Milan to qualify. The Italians have only won six of their last 27 Champions League matches. Chelsea, who have made an ordinary start to the defence of their crown with a win, a draw and a defeat, cannot afford another reverse at home to Shakhtar tomorrow after losing in Ukraine two weeks ago. That victory put Shakhtar top of Group E with seven points, three ahead of Chelsea who are a point clear of Juventus and three in front of Danish newcomers Nordsjaelland. Since losing at home to Barcelona in the knockout round in 2006, Chelsea have lost just two of 34 Champions League matches at Stamford Bridge but a run of six successive wins there ended when Juventus secured a 2-2 draw in September. Juve have drawn a record nine successive European games.
