Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Bill Cosby, center, returns to the courtroom after a break in his sexual assault trial inside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pa., Monday, June 5, 2017.

Bill Cosby goes on trial, his legacy and freedom at stake

David Maialetti/The Philadelphia Inquirer via AP, Pool

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby went on trial Monday on charges he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman more than a decade ago, with prosecutors immediately introducing evidence the 79-year-old TV star once known as America’s Dad had done it before to someone else. The prosecution’s opening witness was not the person Cosby is charged with abusing, but another woman, who broke down in tears as she testified that the comedian violated her in the mid-1990s at a hotel bungalow in Los Angeles. Cosby is on trial on charges he assaulted Andrea Constand, a former employee of Temple University’s basketball program, at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004. His good-guy reputation already in ruins, he could get 10 years in prison if convicted. Prosecutor Kristen Feden, in her opening statement, noted the “Cosby Show” star previously admitted under oath that he

gave Constand pills and touched her genitals as she lay on his couch. “She couldn’t say no,” Feden said. “She can’t move, she can’t talk. Completely paralyzed. Frozen. Lifeless.” Cosby attorney Brian McMonagle countered by attacking what he said were inconsistencies in Constand’s story, disputed that Constand was incapacitated and made the case

that she and Cosby had a romantic relationship. He said Constand initially told police that she and Cosby did not speak after their 2004 encounter, when, in fact, phone records show the two talked 72 times, with 53 of those calls initiated by Constand. Constand, 44, of the Toronto area, is expected to take the stand this week and tell her story in public for

the first time. The trial’s first witness was Kelly Johnson, who worked for one of Cosby’s agents at the William Morris Agency. Johnson, of Atlanta, described an encounter she said took place in 1996 at the Hotel Bel-Air when she was in her mid-30s. Prosecutors are trying to show Cosby’s treatment of Constand fit a pattern of predatory behavior. They had wanted to call as many as 13 women who say Cosby sexually assaulted them, out of more than 60 accusers in all. But Judge Steven O’Neill, in a victory for Cosby, said the jury could hear only from Constand and Johnson. Johnson testified that Cosby pres-

sured her to take a large white pill that knocked her out, and when she woke up he put lotion on her hand and forced her to touch his genitals. “My dress was pulled up from the bottom, and it was pulled down from the top, and my breasts were out,” she said, crying. “And I felt naked.” Cosby’s lawyer argued that Johnson was seeking a payout from the TV star. McMonagle said Johnson mixed up the years and other details of her encounters with Cosby, and he grilled her about why she never said anything when she left William Morris. She came forward in 2015 at a news conference with celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred. (ap)

Underwood puts off birthday present for Preds’ Fisher NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mike Fisher’s birthday present will have to wait. Country music superstar Carrie Underwood said she didn’t get Fisher — her husband and the Nashville Predators’ captain — anything for his 37th birthday on Monday. She’s hoping Fisher can

celebrate his birthday on another day — with the Stanley Cup if the Predators beat Pittsburgh for the championship. “I didn’t get him anything,” Underwood said in an interview on NBC with the two teams tied at 1 following the first period. “I’m

terrible.” Underwood said when she performs, there’s no anxiety. When she watches her husband play hockey, she feels much differently. “I’m way more nervous than I ever would be for myself,” she said. (ap)

Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber al-Sabah will meet with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and seek to resolve the worst infighting among the Arab world’s strongest and richest powers in decades. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed relations with Qatar and closed their airspace to commercial flights on Monday. In a sign of the potential consequences for the Qatari economy, a number of banks in the region began stepping back from busi-

ness dealings with Qatar. Saudi Arabia’s central bank advised banks in the kingdom not to trade with Qatari banks in Qatari riyals, sources said. Oil prices also fell on concern that the rift would undermine efforts by OPEC to tighten production. Qatar and the other Arab states fell out over Doha’s alleged support for Islamist militants and Shi’ite Iran -- charges Qatar has called baseless. It said, however, that it would

not retaliate and hoped Kuwait would help resolve the dispute. Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman alThani told Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV that Qatar wants to give Kuwait’s ruler the ability to “proceed and communicate with the parties to the crisis and to try to contain the issue”. Qatar’s leader, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, spoke by telephone overnight with his counterpart in Kuwait and, in order to allow Kuwait to mediate, decided

to put off a planned speech to the nation, the foreign minister said. Qatar has for years parlayed its enormous gas wealth and media influence into a broad influence in the region. But Gulf Arab neighbours and Egypt have long been irked by its maverick stances and support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which they regard as a political enemy. Yemen, Libya’s eastern-based government and the Maldives close allies of Qatar’s adversaries in the spat - also cut ties. The United States, Russia, France, Iran and Turkey have all called for the row to be resolved through dialogue.

BANKS SHUN QATAR, FLIGHTS DIVERTED Tightening pressure, Saudi Arabia’s aviation authority revoked the license of Qatar Airways and ordered its offices to be closed within 48 hours, a day after the kingdom, the UAE and Bahrain closed their airspace to Qatari commercial flights. Continued to page 6

Excessive consumption, Bali faced with water crisis

DENPASAR — Excessive consumption makes the quality and quantity of water in Bali decrease. Inevitably, the water crisis has now become a disaster experienced by the Island of the Gods primarily during dry season. Walhi (The Indonesian Forum for Environment) Bali noted that water crisis spreads in Tabanan, Jembrana, Buleleng, Bangli, Klungkung and Karangasem. “Water crisis causes paddy fields to dry up. At least within the past two years, a total of 1,075 hectares of paddy fields have experienced drought,” said Executive Director of Walhi Bali, Suriadi Darmoko, in Denpasar, on Monday (Jun 5). At the same time, Suriadi continued, the paddy fields experiencing drought are also threatened by land conversion. Drought ending in land conversion in the long run will also become a serious threat to food security. He said that water crisis has been seen in Bali since 1995 when there was a water deficit of

1.5 billion meters per cubic per year. Water deficit due to excessive consumption continues to occur and increase every year. “In 2015 is estimated to increase to 27.6 billion cubic per year. If there is no mitigation and prevention action in response to this water crisis, ecological crisis is estimated to occur in 2020,” he explained. Suriadi added that excessive consumption mainly happens due to tourism industry and the rise of the bottled drinking water industry. It includes the water privatization by municipality waterworks. The data in 2009 indicate the amount of water consumption supplied by municipality waterworks reaching 32,592,544 cubic meters. “In 2013 alone, a bottled drinking water company claimed to have produced at least 1.2 million liters of clean water per day or 432 million liters per year or nearly half a billion liters. Probably, it can be more than this amount. Today, how many bottled drinking water companies are operating in Bali?” he asked. (kmb32)

Appearance of kid game show closed the pre-Bali Arts Festival (BAF) of Karangasem on Saturday night (Jun 3).

Attractive kid game of Karangasem ready to compete in BAF AMLAPURA — Appearance of kid game show closed the preBali Arts Festival (BAF) of Karangasem on Saturday night (Jun 3). Featuring the term of ancient Bali Angkaban Barong Somi (literally, snapping of barong made of paddy plant’s dried stem), the games nicely composed by Rendang subdistrict looked attractive and entertaining the audience. Although they are from village, the appearance brought optimism that the kid game show representing Karangasem to Bali provincial level will be able to compete against representatives from other regencies / municipality in Bali. Angkaban Barong Somi is an old Balinese phrase that refers to a greater snapping, but never happens due to such gestures. This story is then presented in the games telling about life complexity of the nation’s children. This is the idea of artist I Dewa Gede Alit Saputra. According to him, the idea of the story is indeed silly. However, this game gives a lesson that people should not be arrogant and may not bully others, let alone do something bad for self-interest. He prepared this game along with choreographer I Dewa Nyoman Putra Ari Natha, gamelan music composer Ida Bagus Made Widnyana and costume designer Kayonan Duo Collections. Appearance of this game is more complete due to the accompaniment of Githa

Yowana Swara kid gong kebyar gamelan troupe from Muku hamlet, Rendang. With the appearance of approximately 40 minutes, this game adequately entertained the audience. In addition to bringing typical jokes of childhood, it also displayed social criticism frequently happens in the life of community. The issue of illegal levy, for instance, was presented easily by children without being seen memorizing. Alit Saputra asserted that the appearance of such attractive kid games is so effective whereas it just took them two weeks for training. It is relatively quick to arrange the work of art involving dozens of children. However, he admitted to have his own method of training the children. According to him, children will quickly understand if the model of exercise given is considered enjoyable just like when they are playing with their friends. Thus, the story idea can be easily captured by each child in accordance with their role. Alit Saputra ensured there are some things needing to be further refined. Especially it has something to do with articulation of speech during the stage and the emphasis of jokes. When and what is the right way to present a joke should match and look natural. The kid game troupe is ready to make performance at the BAF. He hoped to get the best result. (kmb31)

Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing announces the new Apple HomePod during the annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Jose, California, U.S. June 5, 2017.

Apple debuts HomePod speaker to bring Siri into the living room

SAN JOSE - Apple Inc on Monday introduced the HomePod, a voice-controlled speaker that can make music suggestions and adjust home temperatures, taking aim at Amazon.com Inc’s Alexa feature and Echo devices.

The move is the first into a completely new area by Apple for more than two years as the world’s most valuable technology company looks to make up for a dip in iPhone sales and new ways to get customers to use more of its money-making apps and services. Apple’s Siri assistant will be integrated into the $349 speaker, and can make music recommendations that pair with the company’s Apple Music service, send text messages, check news and sports scores and control compatible home gadgets like lightbulbs and thermostats. HomePod users may initially be constrained by Siri’s lack of capabilities as compared to Alexa, which also boasts the ability to order millions of Amazon products as well as food from restaurants like Domino’s. Apple is expected to announce plans this week to make

Wednesday, June 7, 2017

its Siri voice assistant work with a larger variety of apps, but initial changes were expected to add just a small number of capabilities. The HomePod speaker stands just under seven inches (18 cm) tall and is covered in fabric mesh that will come in white or gray. A computer processor will tune sound to the room and beam specific parts of music, like a singer’s voice, toward the listener. Apple will begin shipping the HomePod to the United States, Britain and Australia in December. The speaker, while expected by some industry watchers, marked Apple’s first new product announcement since the Apple Watch in September 2014. As a music-playing device, it will also be a challenger to Sonos, whose wifi-controlled speakers are used by many smartphone users for home entertainment. The Cupertino, California-based company said Siri, which also competes with Alphabet Inc’s Google Assistant, will now work across devices. A new Siri interface on the Apple Watch will also blend users’ calendar information with other useful details, like

airline tickets they may have booked, the company said. Apple shares closed down 1 percent at $153.93, not far below the all-time high set last month.

AUGMENTED REALITY

Apple also used its annual developer meeting in San Jose, California - its largest ever with some 5,000 people attending - to offer hints about so-called augmented reality technology. The technology, a feature of the wildly successfully smartphone game Pokemon Go, overlays digital information on real-world images and is seen as an area in which the keenly awaited 10th-anniversary iPhone can stand out from competitors. New indoor maps of areas like malls and airports indicated that Apple might be laying groundwork to display information over images of those places in the future. The company also rolled out tools for developers to create augmented reality applications for iPhones and iPads. To show the tools off, Apple invited Wingnut AR, the company formed by “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson, on stage. (rtr)

The chairman of GMIS, Mr. Suresh Gobindram Vaswani expressed, I am overjoyed at the progress our school in GMIS, Bali has made in the last 10 years. We,

at Bali are completing our 10 years. Though school is not so big yet we have made progress in academics and in Co- curricular activties. GMIS Bali has the three programmes of IB-PYP, MYP, and DP.

Minimarkets seize traditional market segment

Traditional markets must improve

DENPASAR — Mushrooming minimarkets or modern markets gradually eliminate merchants of traditional markets. Moreover, the minimarkets or modern markets also come down directly to the community and organize lowpriced bazaar. Surely, this will take the market segment of merchants in traditional markets. Therefore, the drafting plan by the ministry of economic affair coordinator regarding the minimarkets that should not enter the settlement is welcomed by the market management. Chief of the Denpasar Market Head Forum, I Nyoman Suwarta, when met on Monday (Jun 5) said if the regulation is truly made, it will be good because there is partiality of government to traditional

market. It is okay for people to do business, but if they make the SME sector and small merchants go bankrupt, certainly it is not good for economic equity. “Never disguise of providing cheap goods by organizing bazaar during feast days. If they (minimarkets) are willing to help SMEs and small merchants, they may be able to provide cheaper stocks of goods in the public market. They may not come down to invade the existence of public market with the reason of helping the community,” he said. Nevertheless, Suwarta, who is also Chief of Pasar Agung of Peninjoan customary village, is trying to make traditional market improve them. Arranging the market, improving sanitation, providing with

training for the merchants have become daily agenda. Secretary of Market Management Forum who is also Chief of Pulakerti Market, I Wayan Agus Indrawan, added that as the market manager he welcomed it but it needs to be proceeded with the lower rules both in the form of regional bylaw and mayoral regulations. He considered the proliferation of the market does not directly affect the existence of the traditional market itself especially when the economic condition is sluggish. Agus observed that market activity has begun to be rather sluggish since 2017. Luckily, minimarket has not touched the merchandise of ritual

paraphernalia. “They are still selling some foods and snacks. Hopefully, the regulation governs about it, such as the type of merchandise so that it can be limited,” he hoped. Public market is characterized by the presence of bargaining process for the items on sale namely ritual paraphernalia. “Hopefully, the ritual paraphernalia would not be sold in minimarkets so that the cultural existence can run,” he added. In the meantime, Acting Managing Director of PD Pasar Denpasar, I Made Westa, has a different opinion. The presence of minimarket has no direct impact on traditional market because the core business is different and their customers are also different.

Traditional markets sell various cane works, ritual paraphernalia and worship tools including canang (oblations) et cetera. “It means it has no impact. However, if there are traditional markets selling the needs as sold in minimarkets, this may have an impact. Similarly, the minimarket is located next to traditional markets,” he explained. This can be seen from the turnover of merchants, income of PD Pasar Denpasar, and the number of shopper visits to traditional markers that continues to grow. “There is an increase every year known from the amount of parking vehicles. The annual increase reaches 5-10 percent. Moreover, on feast days the increase reaches 40 percent,” he said. (kmb42)

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Google is spearheading an educational campaign to teach pre-teen children how to protect themselves from scams, predators and other trouble. The program announced Tuesday is called “Be Internet Aware.” Google coordinated the curriculum with several online safety groups, including the Family Online Safety Institute , the Internet Keep Safe Coalition and Connect Safely . The lessons are tailored for kids

ranging from eight to 12 years old, a time when many of today’s children are getting their own smartphones and other devices that connect to the internet. To make the experience more fun, Google and its partners developed a game called “Interland” to help teach children about the ins and outs of online safety. Google is encouraging teachers to use elements of its program in their classrooms, too. (ap)

Nowadays, almost all places are granted permission by district / municipal government so that the minimarkets are mushrooming.

Mini market needs regulating in provincial road DENPASAR — The Bali industry and commerce agency supports the central government’s plan to formulate rules related to minimarket restriction plan. One of them does not allow minimarket to enter settlement area though the regulation and permit of minimarket in the region is issued by the district or municipal government. “In the province, we really support what is issued by central government. We strongly support the regulation made for the common good,” said the Head of the Bali Industry and Commerce Agency, Ni Wayan Kusumawathi, when confirmed on Monday (Jun 5). In general, continued Kusumawathi, the minimarket in Bali actually goes hand in hand with traditional market. They respectively have customers. Some people are fond of shopping to minimarket because the price is standard and no need to bargain. However, there are still people preferring to shop in traditional markets. “There are people like me who are fond of going to traditional markets because there is an interaction between the merchants and shoppers. Besides, there are also MSMEs in the traditional market,” she explained. According to Kusumawathi, minimarket has advantages in terms of arrangement of merchandise and zoning. Her agency has been providing guidance for merchants of traditional markets on how to organize merchandise well. Besides, they are also ad-

vised to maintain market sanitation to create comfort for visitors. “Currently there is a traditional market having met Indonesian standard (SNI) namely the Sindu Market in Sanur,” she said. In the meantime, Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the Bali House of Representatives, Tjok Gede Asmara Putra Sukawati, considered it unclear the plan of limiting minimarket in community settlements. Especially it concerns the definition of settlement. If the settlement is housing in urban areas, now there are many villages resembling the city. Meanwhile, if the settlement includes the village area, it means the minimarket is not allowed in Bali considering that almost all areas in Bali are villages. Therefore, minimarkets are better restricted to only in provincial roads. “Nowadays, almost all places are granted permission by district / municipal government so that the minimarkets are mushrooming. If minimarket is only allowed in the provincial road section, it will greatly suppress the existence of minimarket,” said this Democratic politician. He exemplified that minimarkets are mostly found in Kuta or Ubud which are actually denoting a rural area but already like urban area. In other words, the modern stores are located in the district / municipal road sections. That is why the restrictions by using provincial road section will greatly reduce the number of new minimarket. (kmb32)

When visited recently at their home located on the edge of paddy fields, condition of Setiawan and Wiwindari looks unlike other children. They have paralysis since childhood. Nevertheless, behind such condition, these siblings have an advantage becoming an inspiration. Setiawan suffering from paralysis from the age of eight months has actively made graffiti since several years ago. He has created hundreds of very inspirational wise words. “I just type on the computer with my right thumb as the others cannot be moved,” he said. Interestingly, his skill is not obtained from formal school, but from learning autodidactically while killing his time at home. “I do not go to school. I used to study on the ground taught by our father,” he said. The graffiti is not only used as a collection to strengthen his vivacity in living the life. However, it has also been immortalized on clothes produced by entrepreneurs in the

area of Denpasar. “This graffiti is used by friends for their clothing design,” he said. Conversely, Wiwindari has been adept at painting since two years ago. Like her brother, her work is not only used as wall display at home. However, it has been successfully sold. “My brother sells my paintings online through Facebook. It is bought by buyers not only from Bali, but also from Jakarta and some even brought to America,” she said. The price of painting presenting the setting of ancient Bali varies. The smallest size is sold for IDR 1.5 million and the biggest for IDR 5 million. From the sale, Wiwindari is able to become the backbone of her family shortly after her father, Ketut Punia, died three years ago because of illness. “I learn to paint by self-taught. Maybe, this talent passes down from my father. Until now, we are still constrained by marketing. Hopefully, there is a party facilitating it,” she said.

Due to such talent, this whiteskinned woman was invited to appear on Kick Andy TV show. It becomes a pride for her because she can share her stories with others. “I was invited to the show a year ago,” she added. Her mother, Komang Warsiki, said that Setiawan has been sickly since he was eight months old and suffered from paralysis until now. Meanwhile, Wiwindari cannot walk since the age of eight years after stumbling when sweeping at home yard. “It has been consulted to a doctor, but it is said that nothing is wrong. Besides, we have also taken them to alternative healing, but there is no change,” she said. The talent owned by her children becomes the pride of Warsiki. It is considered to be the most beautiful gift of God. From their hands, she and her youngest child, Bunga Eka Lestari, can meet their daily necessities. “They can help provide income for family.

Two days from UK election, May’s record on security in focus after attack

LONDON - Two days from a parliamentary election that has been upended by a van and knife attack that killed seven people in the heart of London, Prime Minister Theresa May’s record on security dominated the campaign agenda on Tuesday. After police named two of the attackers and revealed that one was previously known to security agencies, May’s Conservative Party faced further questions about her record overseeing cuts to police numbers.

The latest opinion poll, by Survation for ITV, showed the Conservatives’ lead narrowing to just one point from six points in the same poll a week earlier. Police disclosed late on Monday that 27-year-old Khuram Butt, a British citizen born in Pakistan, was known to police and domestic spy agency MI5 but with resources scarce had not been deemed enough of a threat to warrant close monitoring. Butt had appeared in a documentary called “The Jihadis Next Door”, broadcast last year by Britain’s Channel 4, as part of a group of men who unfurled an Islamic State flag in a park. In Britain’s third Islamist attack in as many months, Butt and two others rammed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge on Saturday evening before running into the bustling Borough Market area where they slit throats and stabbed people. All three were wearing fake explosive belts. They were shot dead at the scene by officers within eight minutes of police receiving the first emergency call. A Canadian, a French national and a Briton were among the dead, while other French people, a Spaniard, Australians and a New Zealander were among the 48 who were injured in what Prime Minister Theresa May called “an attack on the free world”. As interior minister from 2010 to 2016, May oversaw a drop of 20,000 in the number of police officers in England and Wales, which her main opponent, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said should never have happened and warranted her resignation. May hit back that Corbyn himself was weak on the issue of ter-

He has been criticised for voting against counter-terrorism legislation and expressing reservations about police responding to attacks with “shoot-to-kill” tactics. Police arrested 12 people on Sunday in Barking, east London, but said late on Monday all had been released without charge. Police were searching an address in Ilford, also in the east of the city, on Tuesday morning. No one had been detained. “ALMOST EUPHORIC”

The other attacker who has been named was 30-year-old Rachid Redouane, who also went by the alias Rachid Elkhdar and claimed to be Moroccan or Libyan, police said.

He and Butt both lived in Barking. One of Butt’s neighbours, Ikenna Chigbo, told Reuters he had chatted with Butt - known locally as “Abz” - just hours before the attack on Saturday and said he appeared “almost euphoric”. “He was very sociable, seemed like an ordinary family man. He would always bring his kid out into the lobby,” said Chigbo. Another neighbour, Michael Mimbo, told Reuters that Butt supported the north London football team Arsenal. One of the dead attackers has been pictured wearing an Arsenal shirt. Mimbo said Butt had grown a longer beard and worn traditional Islamic dress more often over the two years he had known him, but

showed no sign of radicalisation. “As an individual he was a cool, calm guy. One of my friends would let Abz babysit his daughter,” Mimbo said. The men’s rampage followed a suicide bomb attack which killed 22 adults and children at a concert in Manchester two weeks ago, and an attack in March when five people died after a van was driven into pedestrians on London’s Westminster Bridge. Police said they had to prioritise resources on suspects who were believed to be preparing an attack or providing active support for one. Butt did not fall into that category when they last investigated him. May did not answer repeated questions

from reporters on Monday on the police cuts she oversaw but said counter-terrorism budgets had been protected and police had the powers they needed. The Conservatives’ lead over Labour has narrowed markedly from 20 points or more when May called the election in April to a range between one and 12 points now, although they are still widely expected to win a majority. The narrowing in the polls started before the Manchester and London attacks and appeared to be largely linked to an unpopular policy announcement regarding care for the elderly. The trend has continued since the two attacks, most polls suggest. (ap)

After Hamas decade, Gaza short on freedom, jobs, electricity AP Photo/Adel Hana

BEIT LAHIYA — Grim records mark the 10th anniversary of Hamas rule in Gaza — the longest-ever daily electricity and water cuts, 60 percent youth unemployment, and a rising backlog of thousands waiting for a rare chance to exit the blockaded territory. Unable to offer a remedy, the Islamic militant group has been doubling down on oppression. It has jailed the few who dare complain publicly, including the young organizers of a street protest against power cuts and an author who wrote on Facebook that “life is only pleasant for Hamas leaders.” Qatar reportedly asked several Hamas leaders-in-exile to leave. Hamas also faces financial pressure by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose forces it drove from Gaza a decade ago. Fed up with failed reconciliation efforts, the West Bank-based Abbas has warned he would cut more Gaza subsidies, such as electricity payments. Hamas spokesman Salah Bardaweel dismissed suggestions Hamas should step aside, but acknowledged a deal to improve Gaza’s lot is unlikely as long as the 82-yearold Abbas, who runs autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, remains in power. He said Hamas was never given a chance to govern. “How do you hold someone accountable for a failure he did not create?” he said, referring to the blockade. Bardaweel was recently skewered on social media after asserting Gaza will remain “steadfast.” Local writer Abdullah Abu Sharekh landed in jail after writing on Facebook that “people are not steadfast.” “They cannot do anything because you (Hamas)

In this Sunday, June 4, 2017 photo, sheep graze near a lake of sewage close to the idled Gaza power plant in the central Gaza Strip. Grim records mark the 10th anniversary of Hamas rule in Gaza, including the longest-ever daily electricity cuts, 60 percent youth unemployment, tens of thousands dreaming of leaving the blockaded territory and the jailing the few who dare to complain publicly.

Polls show almost half the people would leave altogether if they could, but that support for the group, despite three short, devastating wars with Israel, is steady at around a third. With potential opponents crushed, there is no obvious path to regime change. Meanwhile, for most of Gaza’s 2 million people, life is bound to get worse. The international isolation of Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel, will likely continue — and with it the border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the group seized Gaza in June 2007. A new political program that Hamas hoped would mollify the West and Arab nations instead underscored its ideological rigidity; while softer in tone, the manifesto reaffirms a call to armed struggle and the creation of an Islamic state in historic Palestine, including what is now Israel. There are also signs that one of Hamas’ remaining foreign backers, Qatar, is in trouble. On Monday, four Arab countries cut ties with the Gulf nation, in part over its support of Islamist groups, such as Hamas.

rule Gaza with iron and fire ... you brought Gaza back to the Middle Ages,” he wrote. After his release Saturday, he wrote that he was deprived of sleep for five days and forced to stand for long periods or sit on small chairs. Stirrings of unrest are quashed. A trio of unemployed friends in their 20s from the town of Beit Lahiya said Hamas has harassed them since they mobilized thousands in a rare street protest against chronic power cuts in January. They said they’ve been detained, beaten and repeatedly summoned to security compounds. Activist Mohammed al-Taluli, 25, said pressure built again several weeks ago as daily rolling power cuts worsened, with four hours of electricity followed by outages of 14 to 18 hours. Al-Taluli said he and his friends received death threats to deter them from protesting, and that it was effective because no one can protect them from Hamas. “People are asking us every day if we are planning a new demonstration,” al-Taluli said, speaking in a room decorated with photos of revolutionary idols like Che

Guevara. “But ... we are afraid.” Palestinian rights groups say Hamas practices mirror those of its West Bank rivals. Both governments have carried out arbitrary arrests and mistreated detainees, and both monitor social media and civil society to silence dissent. Hamas leaders often tolerate criticism by well-known figures, but strike back when they detect a threat to their rule, said Samir Zakout of the Gaza rights group alMezan. Over the past decade, Hamas has also executed 28 people, most of them alleged informers, after trials widely condemned as a sham. This includes three men executed last month, after a field tribunal tried them in less than a week. The three had been accused of involvement in killing a Hamas leader, Mazen Faqha, near his apartment building in March. Hamas violently interrogated dozens of people and claimed this netted dozens of informers. Relatives of one of the three who were killed, 38-year-old Abdullah al-Nashar, said they believe he had indeed collaborated with Israel, lured by an Israeli exit permit from Gaza. But Al-Nashar’s father, Ahmed, said his son had nothing to do with the Faqha killing and didn’t deserve to die. Hamas’ rise to power was fueled by frustration with corruption during the rule of Abbas’ Fatah movement.

Hamas also rejected Fatah’s attempt to negotiate Palestinian statehood on lands Israel captured in 1967, including Gaza. In 2006, months after Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas defeated Fatah in parliamentary elections. Subsequent failed attempts to negotiate a power-sharing deal and Hamas-Fatah street fighting culminated in the June 2007 Hamas takeover of Gaza. Ahmed al-Nashar, 63, said he had voted for Hamas hoping “they would do something good in the name of religion,” but has concluded “there is no future here with these people.” Hamas said it was sabotaged from the start. Israel and Egypt, citing security concerns, enforced a crushing border blockade, banning most movement and exports. Three Israel-Hamas wars, in part triggered by a Hamas arms buildup, further devastated the territory and its economy. Meanwhile, the international community stuck to its initial conditions for dealing with Hamas, including renouncing violence, even as it called for lifting the blockade. This leaves Gazans in a miserable limbo. “Our life is just a long series of waiting,” said Abed Meqdad, a teacher. “You wait for electricity to come, for the crossing to reopen, for the situation to improve, and nothing gets done.” (ap)

Illegal MC owner embezzles IDR 1.3 billion DENPASAR — As planned, the suspect Liauw Djung Mi alias Hendra Lion, 62, from Pontianak, established an illegal money changer (MC) office on Jalan Gatot Subroto Barat, Denpasar. Together with his employees, Umar and Rini, the suspect Liauw has now become a fugitive carrying off USD 100,000 or IDR1,339,376,000 owned by Ni Made Suwitri, 42. A total of USD 60,000 was spent on gambling in Singapore. “It happened on March 10 and the suspect was arrested on May 25 at 02:00 at Taman Palm Lestari residence in Jakarta. When arrested, the suspect had time to fight,” said Chief of West Denpasar Police, Gede Sumena, accompanied by Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit, Aan Saputra, on Monday (Jun 5). Chief Sumena explained the suspect just operated in Bali for six days. He contracted the shop and made it into his office on Jalan Gatot Subroto Barat, Denpasar, named CV Agung Jaya Mandiri. “However, the signboard is placed inside because it is not licensed or illegal. It is just camouflage,” Aan added. He searched for prey in one of the money changers in Sanur areas and was then directed to his office. The victim was lured by the suspect so that she exchanged her money there. “The first exchange ran smoothly when the victim exchanged USD 40,000 into Australian dollars. The victim immediately believed,” Sumena said. On March 10, the victim accompanied by Ni Ketut Nuriati came to the scene to exchange American dollars. In fact, the employees of her partners PT Suman Dinar Valuta from PT Prawira Valas, I Komang Sugiarta and Wayan Purnama, were already in the office. They were served by

Umar and Rini. As they sat in the office, unwittingly the front door was locked from inside and the key was brought away by the suspect. In addition, the cash of USD 100,000 placed on the table was immediately taken by the suspect and brought into his room on the grounds he would like to take banknotes of Australian dollar. “In fact, the suspect along with his employees escaped through the back door. They rode a motorcycle directly to Ngurah Rai Airport, Tuban, while the victim and her friend were locked inside the office. Finally, they could get out,” he said. In the meantime, the three suspects directly flew to Jakarta. Upon arrival, the suspect took USD 60,000, while the remaining USD 40,000 was handed over to Umar and Rini. Alleged to be afraid of being arrested, the suspect then fled to Singapore. There, he splurged and played casino gambling. After the money ran out, he just returned to Jakarta. “Almost for three months our personnel have hunted him down. When getting information if he already returned from Singapore, the suspect was arrested at his home,” he added. The arrest did not run smoothly because the perpetrator fought back. Moreover, he damaged the hand phone usually used for his communications to customers with the intent of eliminating evidence. After being showed the evidence brought by the officers, he surrendered and was immediately taken to Bali. “We appeal to the public to be selective in choosing money changer. Please check first its permit, whether it is legal or illegal. We are still hunting two other perpetrators,” said this one-jasmine-ranked officer from Buleleng. (kmb36)

Indonesia tobacco bill would open tap for ads aimed at kids, health official says

JAKARTA - A proposed Indonesian tobacco law will roll back regulations to discourage smoking in a country that already has one of the highest smoking rates in the world and open the floodgates to advertising aimed at teenagers, a health ministry official said. If the bill initiated by the parliament is passed, companies will no longer have to put grim pictures on cigarette packs of lung cancer or other diseases linked to smoking, said Mohammad Subuh, director-general of disease prevention and control at the health ministry.

Foreign delegations meet in Afghan capital after bloody week KABUL - Afghan leaders met officials of two dozen foreign governments and institutions on Tuesday, launching a so-called Kabul Process aiming to set the stage for peace talks and clinch an international pact to end “cross-border terrorism”. After a week of violence that included the deadliest ever attack on the capital of Kabul, President Ashraf Ghani said the meeting would be more than a ceremonial effort.

But with domestic tension high, international plans in flux, and the insurgency as powerful as ever, starting any peace process may be an uphill battle. Underscoring the volatile situation, at least one rocket struck an Indian diplomatic compound in Kabul, as the delegations met a few blocks away. Speaking to the diplomats, Ghani said the attacks in Afghanistan were part of the violence that had struck foreign cities around the world, most recently in London, where three militants drove a van into pedestrians on Saturday before attacking people with knives. Afghanistan is on the front line of a global war against such violence, he said. “We’re fighting 20 transnational terrorist groups on your behalf,” Ghani said. “What we need is an agreement on regional security.” Since the international military mission

declared an end to its combat mission in 2014, the Taliban have made steady gains. As of late last year, the Taliban contested or controlled about 40 percent of the country, according to U.S. government estimates, leading some observers to doubt the group would be willing to negotiate any time soon. Ghani said if the Taliban did not soon begin negotiations, he would seek new sanctions against the group as a sponsor of terrorism. “This is the last chance, take it or face the consequences,” he said. Afghanistan accuses elements in Pakistan, worried about old rival India gaining influence in Afghanistan, of providing support for militant groups like the Taliban, an accusation Pakistan denies. “What will it take to convince Pakistan that a stable Afghanistan helps them and helps our region,” Ghani said. MORE U.S. TROOPS?

Ghani said Afghanistan had provided its preconditions for negotiations to the Taliban, but it remains unclear whether the group’s leaders represented all factions. A spokesman for the Taliban said he was not prepared to make immediate comment on the conference. The militants have said no talks are possible until all foreign troops leave.

With an estimated $335 billion of assets in its sovereign wealth fund and its gas exports earning billions of dollars every month, Qatar, however, has enough financial power to protect its banks. Qatar’s stock market rebounded in early trade on Tuesday after plunging the previous day but the Qatari riyal fell against the U.S. dollar. Kuwait’s emir, who has spent decades as a diplomat and mediator

in regional disputes, hosted Sheikh Tamim last week as the crisis began brewing. Monday’s decision forbids Saudi, UAE and Bahraini citizens from travelling to Qatar, residing in it or passing through it, instructing their citizens to leave Qatar within 14 days and Qatari nationals were given 14 days to leave those countries. The measures are more severe than during a previous eight-month rift in 2014, when Saudi Arabia, Bahrain

The last significant peace effort foundered in 2015 when news broke that long-time Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had died. The push for a new peace process comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has yet to announce his plans for the region, with at least 8,400 American troops training Afghan forces and conducting counterterrorism operations. Another 6,000 foreign troops contribute to the advising mission. U.S. military commanders have proposed sending 3,000 to 5,000 more advisers to Afghanistan in a bid to break the “stalemate”. U.S. Charge d’Affaires Hugo Llorens, who is overseeing the American embassy as no new ambassador has been nominated by Trump, said the conference was a chance to send the message that “the enemies of Afghanistan cannot win”. “The conference will be a visible reminder to all those who seek to harm Afghanistan that the Afghan people are never alone, especially in the wake of last week’s attack,” Llorens said in a statement. But some analysts were sceptical that the Kabul Process meetings would lead to peace talks. “Signing mutual non-interference or anti-terror support agreements won’t change anything,” said Thomas Ruttig, co-director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network, noting that similar accords had been signed in the past. (ap)

and the UAE withdrew their ambassadors from Doha, again alleging Qatari support for militant groups. The United Arab Emirates said Qatar needed to carry out specific confidence-building measures and change its behaviour. “After previous experiences with the brother state, we need a frame for the future that will consolidate the security and the stability of the region,” UAE Foreign Minister Anwar Gargash wrote on

Twitter overnight. “We need to rebuild trust after broken pledges, we need a guaranteed roadmap,” he wrote. But Qatari state TV broadcast images of Sheikh Tamim embracing the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi -- whose stay in Doha has for years irked Gulf states - as part of an annual Ramadan reception with Islamic clerics on Monday. (rtr)

Under existing regulations, 40 percent of the front and back of a cigarette pack must contain a “health warning” in the form of pictures and text. Under the tobacco bill, reviewed by Reuters, cigarette packs would not be required to have a specific portion dedicated to health-related pictures. Cigarette businesses that put up advertisements, either in electronic, printed or outdoor media, do have to include a health warning that is “written with clear alphabets, easily read and proportionate.” School and playground areas would be designated as “no- cigarette-smoke zones” instead of “no-cigarette zones”, which would allow cigarettes to be sold or displayed there, Subuh said. “Indonesia is the most liberal country for the tobacco industry,” said Subuh, who oversees the health ministry’s tobacco control efforts. “Let’s not open again the opportunities for the industry to lure teenagers to party with cigarettes. It’s like jumping from a helicopter without a parachute,” he said in an interview.

OUTPUT INCREASE

Last year, 54.8 percent of males between 15 and 19 years old were smokers in Indonesia, more than double the percentage of smokers in 2001, according to the health ministry. The price of a pack of cigarettes in Indonesia can be less than $2. A shocking video of a toddler reportedly puffing up to

40 cigarettes a day on the island of Sumatra went viral around seven years ago, firing up anti-tobacco activists who said it underscored the problem of underage smoking in Indonesia. “Indonesia is terrifying because it has among the most baby smokers in the world. From elementary school until high school, the smoking rate is also one of the highest,” the health ministry’s Subuh said. Indonesia is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has yet to ratify or be a party to the World Health Organisation’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), which seeks to protect against the harmful consequences of smoking. The tobacco bill mainly aims to sharply increase cigarette output in Indonesia, already the world’s fourth-biggest producer, at a time when other Asian countries are taking measures to curb smoking. Proponents of the bill say it would safeguard a vital economic sector that employs millions of people and contributes nearly 10 percent of state revenues. “We don’t mind some regulations, as long as they are not excessive,” said Abdus Setiawan, a board member at the Indonesia Tobacco Growers’ Association. Setiawan said he already considers emblazoning cigarette packs with the message that “smoking kills” to be “excessive.” To become law in Indonesia, the tobacco bill has to be agreed between the government and the

parliament. President Joko Widodo agreed in March to start discussions on the bill with the parliament, but it is unclear when the president will make a decision. $17 BILLION INDUSTRY

Indonesia, a country of 250 million and the biggest economy in Southeast Asia, is attractive for major cigarette companies at a time when growth is slowing in more developed markets. Indonesia produced 269.2 billion cigarettes in 2015, while the total market was valued at 231.3 trillion rupiah ($17.3 billion), according to research firm Euromonitor International. Philip Morris International Inc and British American Tobacco PLC have controlling stakes in local cigarette makers PT Hanjaya Mandala Sampoerna Tbk and PT Bentoel Internasional Investama Tbk, respectively. Other major domestic players include PT Gudang Garam Tbk and privately held Djarum Group. Regulations for the industry have been poorly enforced and some companies target young Indonesians with new products such as fruit-flavored cigarettes or clever advertising, activists say. “A lot of advertisements here send the message that if you don’t smoke, you’re not macho, you’re not cool,” Muhammad Khanavi, a 14-year-old student, said on the sidelines of an anti-smoking event to mark World No Tobacco Day on Wednesday.

Cavaliers weigh moving Shumpert into starting lineup The Cleveland Cavaliers, down 2-0 after blowout losses to the Golden State Warriors, may switch up their starting lineup for Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue is considering starting Iman Shumpert in place of JR Smith in the backcourt for Wednesday’s game in Cleveland, according to ESPN. Shumpert experienced cramping in the second half of the Cavs’ 132-113 Game 2 loss on Sunday night and required intravenous fluids after the game, a team source told ESPN. Shumpert finished with six points, four rebounds and three steals in 22 minutes off the bench, shooting only 1 of 6 from the field. But the Cavs may go with Shumpert in the starting lineup because of his defense in trying to slow down Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. On Sunday, Curry and Durant teamed up to get the Warriors within two victories of another championship. Curry recorded his first career postseason triple-double with 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, while Durant -- seeking his first ring -- had 33 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and five blocks. Smith has been a non-factor in the two losses with just three points on 1-of-4 shooting in 28 minutes in Game 1 and had zero points in Game 2 on 0-of-2 shooting and four fouls in 14 minutes. Lue said the Cavaliers must improve their defense to have a chance in Game 3. “Having awareness, can’t relax, can’t fall asleep,” Lue said after Sunday’s loss. “This team, their offense is constant movement, so you got to be locked in. “You can’t take a peek somewhere else and lose your man. So they make you pay. And they have a lot of guys who are great passers, so you got to be alert at all times.”(rtr)

UBUD - Shop in the jungle, bamboo designed home of sustainable luxury, visiting one of the world’s most famous, Baliborn jewellery brands that is proudly and uniquely inspired by the time-honoured traditions of Bali’s past. Not to name names, but if Cara D is the biggest fan of this Bali jewellery brand, then we want to go there! Literally – visit it all. Because it’s not every day that purchasing an exquisite, handcrafted, silver or gold bangle, necklace or ring from the Bamboo Collection of arguably Bali’s most well-known, international jewellery company comes with a complimentary planting of bamboo tree, or three… all in your honour. Not to mention an organic lunch, and personal workshop tour. This is just one part of John Hardy’s inspiring story that sets the Bali company apart from most luxury brands today. And now, in a Store Snoop story with a difference, venture to where it all began: you can go direct to the home of the brand right here in Bali, personally watching the pieces being made by hand in

their Ubud workshop, enjoying a beautiful lunch hosted by the design team and then shop away at their bamboo, open-air showroom in the jungle. Why visit? Well, from their Balinese, artisan craftsmanship, their commitment to employing local artisans in hand-making each piece whilst respecting their time-honoured traditions – not to mention their sustainable bamboo program, or even shopping under the most giant bamboo sails you may ever see – buying a piece of John Hardy in Bali isn’t a typical retail exchange. The brand was created in the seventies when Canadian artist John Hardy (now pioneering his sustainable love of bamboo design with the Green Village and Green School) and his wife Cynthia discovered the inspiring tradition of artistry among the Balinese, and their skill for hand-

crafting jewellery that dated back to the goldsmiths of the ancient Balinese courts. Embracing the challenges of living and working in the jungle from the early days, the brand strives to protect the spirit of Bali by sourcing reclaimed metals and runs a global initiative to plant sustainable bamboo on a global scale, through their “Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo” program – ensuring seedlings are planted as part of every purchase from the Bamboo collection. They’ve planted more than 1 million seedlings to date.

But beyond John Hardy’s inspiring standards, workplace, environmental consciousness and commitment in protecting Bali’s hand-craftmanship skills, they design just beautiful pieces of jewellery. Stunning. With such a lovely legacy. They may now be internationally famous with boutiques and fans from Rodeo Drive to Russia. But only in Bali can you explore the world of John Hardy and visit where every piece of jewellery is conceived, designed and produced in their design center, workshop and showroom.

The John Hardy Ubud Workshop & Showroom Tour is an inspiring experience: visit the open-air design center and workshop and see the master artisans at their craft; learn about Bali’s renowned creative traditions; explore the property’s organic farm and kitchen; savour a traditional Balinese lunch alongside the artisans and designers, served at a long table under the shade of Banyan trees; view current and vintage collections, and finish with a shop at the Kapal Bambu Boutique.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert (4) drives against Golden State Warriors forward David West (3) during the first half in game two of the 2017 NBA Finals at Oracle Arena.

The sixth seed’s single-handed backhand ranks as one of the best shots in men’s tennis but so far it has been feeble against Djokovic who he has scraped one set against in five matches and who thrashed him 6-1 6-0 in the Rome semi-finals. He was also beaten in straight sets by Djokovic in last year’s semifinals at Roland Garros -- his best run at a slam. “I have to change something compared to the last matches,” Thiem, the youngest of the quarter-

finalists, said. “I will talk to my coach, to my team. Then maybe change something up and hope I play a good match.” Second seed Djokovic’s progress has been troublesome in comparison, being stretched to five sets by Diego Schwartzman in round three -- but the battle-hardened Serb is well-versed in the business end of slams and usually raises his game. Former champion Mats Wilander thinks 23-year-old Thiem’s easy run

could actually work against him. “Of course, it’s good to have conserved your energy, but for Thiem I think I’d have liked to see him answer a few more questions,” the Swede, in Paris as a presenter for Eurosport’s daily flagship show “Game, Set and Mats”, told Reuters. “For someone like Thiem it’s vital to have energy left. But at the same time when you are standing up against Novak Djokovic it’s just a different animal in terms of pressure.” (rtr)

US adjusting to Arena’s system as World Cup qualifier looms

Tiote died in hospital after training collapse - China club

BEIJING - Former Ivory Coast international Cheick Tiote died in hospital on Monday after collapsing during a training session, his Chinese club Beijing Enterprises said. The Chinese second flight club confirmed his death at the age of 30 on its Weibo social media account, saying the former Twente Enschede and Newcastle United midfielder had “fainted without any warning” during training. “He was rushed to hospital immediately. However, all revival measures proved ineffective and he died around 7pm on June 5, 2017. The club has already contacted his family,” it read.

“Since joining the team, he had made an outstanding contribution to the club and won praise from the club, the coaching team and his team mates with his superb skills and professionalism. “Beijing BG football club expresses our deepest sorrow following Mr Tiote’s passing.” Former team mates and managers took to social media to mourn the loss of the latest high-profile African player to have collapsed and died while playing football. Newcastle United, where Tiote played for seven years before moving to China, said the club was “devastated” at the news, while manager Rafa Benitez spoke of his “sadness” at the death of “a true professional ... and above all, a great man”. Former England manager Steve McLaren, who coached Tiote at Twente and Newcastle, spoke of Tiote’s competitiveness. “I knew him first as a young player at Twente. He was the toughest player I’ve ever seen,” he told the BBC.

“On the field and in training he was such a competitor. He wanted to win every game, kick every player and win every tackle. “He was a winner. I just can’t believe it. Some days we would have to pull him out of training because he was such a ferocious competitor, such a winner. He was a warrior and could play too.” Tiote grew up playing football barefoot on the streets of his hometown of Yamoussoukro before moving to Europe with Belgian club Anderlecht in 2005. He moved to Twente in 2008 and was part of the side which won the Eredivisie title in 2010. He played at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup and was a member of the Ivory Coast squad which won the 2015 African Cup of Nations.A combative defensive midfielder, Tiote’s more than 130 appearances for Newcastle featured many yellow cards but only one goal. It was a spectacular effort, though, a left-footed volley from well outside the penalty area two minutes from time which secured Newcastle’s comeback from 4-0 down to secure a 4-4 draw against Arsenal in February 2011. Tiote’s move to Beijing earlier this year was his second attempt to cash in on the riches on offer in the Chinese Super League after holding talks with Shanghai Shenhua in 2016. McLaren said Tiote’s motivation was to provide for an extended family which, he told one interviewer, included nine brothers and sisters. “It was his dream to play in China and I was so delighted for him when it happened,” McLaren added. “He loved playing football to look after his family. All the relatives, uncles, aunts, grandparents, they all relied on him to look after them.” (rtr)

COMMERCE CITY — U.S. coach Bruce Arena looked at the rosy side of a surprise draw with Venezuela in an exhibition game over the weekend. “Good exercise for us,” he said Monday. The Americans are still getting used to Arena’s system, along with playing at a higher altitude. But there’s not much time left, with a World Cup qualifier on Thursday in Commerce City against Trinidad and Tobago. Neither team has margin for error, with the U.S. currently in fourth place in the six-team standings with four points and Trinidad and Tobago last with three points. The top three teams qualify, with the fourth-place squad going to a playoff against Asia’s No. 5 nation. “They have to understand the things we’re trying to do, and I don’t think we’re already there,” said Arena, whose team settled for a 1-1 draw with Venezuela on Saturday in Sandy, Utah. “The examples of Saturday’s game is good, to show some of the issues we have and correct them and be ready for Thursday.” The team elected to switch things up Monday, going with an afternoon practice instead of being put through its paces in a morning session. Anything to that? “We just wanted to have a meeting in the morning,” Arena said. “Meeting, practice, have lunch and off the rest of the day. Wasn’t rocket science.” Figuring out what system the Americans may utilize could be, though. At times against Venezuela, the squad employed a 4-4-2 formation. At other times, it was a different alignment. “It’s better for us if the opposition doesn’t know how we’re going to play, how we’re going to start the game,” midfielder Fabian Johnson said. “It’s positive for us that we have two systems that we can also switch during the game.” Now, they just need everyone healthy. Central defender

John Brooks left Saturday’s game with a bruised quadriceps muscle. Arena doesn’t know if he will be available Thursday, let alone three days later when the team plays in Mexico. But there’s also this: Forward Jozy Altidore is getting up to speed after reporting late to training camp because of his brother’s wedding. Arena has gradually increased the tempo at practice to get his team acclimatized to the higher elevation. It’s 5,200 feet in Commerce City and a lung-searing 7,820 feet at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The elevation for the exhibition game was around 4,450 feet. “Of course, it’s hard to breathe, to run,” said Johnson, who recently extended his contract with Borussia Moenchengladbach. “The first couple of days, you can tell in warmups and stuff. You’re breathing hard. But you get used to it.” Arena certainly liked the play of 18-year-old Christian Pulisic on Saturday as the midfielder scored the tying goal for the Americans in the 61st minute. Asked how he’s come along over the last six months, Arena responded: “Six months older.” “He’s stronger physically, mentally,” Arena said. “The young ones make more improvement. I don’t think (DaMarcus) Beasley and (Clint) Dempsey are going to get much better in six months.” Johnson met with Arena several times in Germany to discuss what’s expected of him. Johnson likes his responsibilities in the midfield, a position that’s relatively unsettled. Sebastian Lletget started against Honduras in March, scoring the opening goal, but injured his left foot in the 6-0 home win and will be sidelined four to six months. “We have to create more chances, use the space a little bit better,” Johnson said. “That’s what we’re going to try to do on Thursday.” (ap)

Russia beats Hungary 3-0 in friendly but Zobnin injured

BUDAPEST — Russia cruised past Hungary 3-0 in a warmup for the Confederations Cup, but lost a key midfielder to injury on Monday. Roman Zobnin was taken off on a stretcher in severe pain after 33 minutes with what team staff suspected was a knee ligament injury. Zobnin recently became a regular starter for Russia and was a central figure in Spartak Moscow’s run to the Russian Premier League title this season. If he isn’t fit for the tournament, he’ll join fellow midfielder Alan Dzagoev and forward Artyom Dzyuba among the hosts’ injury absentees. Hungary put up little resistance, with no repeat of its all-action performances from last year’s European Championship, and went behind after 20 minutes. Forward Fyodor Smolov picked up the ball on the right flank, beat two Hungarian defenders as he cut inside, then hit the ball past goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. Hungary’s Marton Eppel gifted Russia its second with a 40th-minute own goal at a corner. Substitute Dmitry Poloz made it 3-0 in the 89th with a deflected shot. There was another injury scare for Russia late on

when defender Georgy Dzhikiya, making his debut, limped off with what coach Stanislav Cherchesov called a minor injury. (ap)

SEOUL — England and Italy finished their matches with 10 men and still advanced to the semifinals of the Under-20 World Cup on Monday. The English held on to beat Mexico 1-0 at Cheonan Stadium while Italy rallied to defeat Zambia 3-2 in extra time in Suwon. England and Italy will meet in the semifinals on Thursday. Striker Dominic Solanke scored the only goal for England, which was wearing armbands for the second time in the tournament following Saturday’s attack in London. Solanke received the ball from Lewis Cook just inside the area and shot past Abraham Romero in the 47th minute. Joshua Onomah picked up his second yellow card in the 72nd minute, forcing England to finish the match with 10 men. “All the players have realized we have a real opportunity to go and make history,” coach Paul Simpson said after England reached a first Under-20 World Cup semifi-

nal in 24 years. “They are putting in performances that we knew they were capable of and we’re delighted with.” Earlier, Luca Vido headed in the winning goal for Italy in the 111th minute. Italy played a man down for much of the match after Guiseppe Pezzella was sent off in the first half. Still, the Italians twice came from behind. Patson Daka scored from inside the area to give Zambia the lead in the fourth minute, but Riccardo Orsolini equalized in the 50th. Zambia again went ahead in the 84th, getting a goal from Fashion Sakala, but Federico Dimarco curled home a free kick in the 88th to force extra time. Pezzella was ejected for bringing down Edward Chilufya on the edge of the area. Venezuela and Uruguay have also reached the semifinals and play on Thursday. The final is set foJune 11 in Suwon, and the tournament is guaranteed a first-time champion. (ap)
