City without slums

Quality of settlement needs improving

LONDON - Country music singer LeAnn Rimes says her forthcoming studio album is more spontaneous and organic than her last offering “Spitfire”, describing her new work as “soul-based”.

The Grammy Award winner, who rose to fame aged 13 and is known for hits such as “How Do I Live” and “Can’t Fight The Moonlight”, will put out “Remnants” in October, her first album release on new label RCA UK. “On my last record ... we definitely knew the story we were writing song by song and it was very much in the moment of a lot of heartache and chaos,” Rimes said in an interview in London.

“And this one, this time around, is just coming from a completely different place. And not until we finalised the record did we see this amazing arc that we had written and created and it’s a beautiful record. It’s really soul-based”.

The 33-year-old, who cites gospel and soul as major musical influences growing up, says she turns to her actor husband Eddie Cibrian and step-children for feedback on her work as well as her own “internal cues”.

“Kids are amazing. They will let you know if it sucks and they seem to like it so that’s a good thing,” Rimes said.

“With this record I kept it a secret what it sounded like. My mum heard one song, she still hasn’t heard the album. I’m keeping it very hush hush ... I think that once I’m happy hopefully people will connect with that energy.”

Asked about the international success of female American country stars versus their male counterparts, Rimes said: “We have this other passion. Even though men can bring passion to a song it’s just a different kind of thing.

“I think our songs really talk about real life, heartbreak and love and we are just able to reach people deeply, which is a gift.” (rtr)

DENPASAR - The rapidly increasing urbanzation of Bali has given rise to significantly more slums throughout the city of Denpasar. The population that has grown without the support of space, infrastructure, facilities and utilities.

“In dealing with the problem of slum settlements and poverty in Indonesia –including cities in Bali, effort is required in order to improve the quality of settlements and implement participatory development”, said Deputy Governor of Bali, Ketut Sudikerta, in Denpasar.

Thousands Tackle Deadly Madeira Wildfire

MADEIRA - Three people have died in a wildfire which has torn through the Portuguese island of Madeira, prompting a massive emergency response. A thousand people have been evacuated from homes and hotels near the capital Funchal, where three elderly people died in two separate house fires.

Two people have also been seriously injured and another is missing, according to Portuguese newspaper Publico.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of starting the fire, police have said. Steep hills and woodland are making it difficult to tackle the

firesThe National Civil Protection Service has sent 3,300 firefighters to tackle the blaze, along with 23 water-dumping aircraft.

Fire service officials said the steep hills and dense woodland around Funchal made it difficult to reach the flames. City

mayor Paulo Cafofo said it was “impossible” to calculate how many buildings were caught in the blaze, but told Publico that a five-star hotel and spa had been completely consumed.

Madeira, a popular spot for British holidaymakers, has experienced temperatures of more than 35C since Monday.

Strong winds from North Africa have fanned smoke from the blaze, disrupting flights at Madeira Airport. Britons booked to travel from Madeira to Edinburgh and Glasgow

were left stranded for more than 12 hours on Tuesday, after EasyJet and Jet2.com cancelled flights.

An EasyJet spokeswoman said: “Although this is beyond EasyJet’s control, we would like to apologise to affected customers and thank them for their understanding.”

In mainland Portugal a wildfire forced the closure of a major highway near Viseu, while another blaze cut power lines in nearby Agueda. On Tuesday, Portuguese capital Lisbon was hazy as smoke

from fires in the surrounding region drifted into the city.

Fire chiefs said that some of their firefighters have been battling blazes non-stop since Saturday, when temperatures reached 44C.(ap) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY

Slumps...

From page 1

Participatory development, continued Sudikerta, involves people being treated as the subjects and by building awareness, criticality and encouraging independence so that people can prosper.

“Given the restricted regional and national budgets allotted to dealing with housing issues, the government has made the decision to deal with the problem of slums through the ‘city without slums’ program”, he added.

Sudikerta added that the ‘city without slums’ program was designed by the Directorate General of Cipta Karya who has served

as program organizer of the National Community Empowerment (PNPM) since 2007. He hopes that the problem of slums can be addressed quickly by increasing the synergy between the government and society at large in dealing with housing and settlement programs.

“The ‘city without slums’ program is part of an effort to create livable and sustainable urban neighborhoods through the 100-0100 (hundred-zero-one hundred) initiative, namely by achieving 100 percent access to drinking water. In other words, reducing slums to 0 percent and producing 100 percent access to sanitation for people in Indonesia by the end of 2019” he affirmed. (kmb32)

Case of Satudarah motorcycle club

Kesbangpol to coordinate with immigration

DENPASAR - The Bali National Unity and Politics Agency (Kesbangpolinmas) will be coordinating with immigration authorities in order to deal with the Satudarah motorcycle club that created an incident in Kuta on Monday (Aug. 8). Dozens of Satudarah motorcycle club members flew into a rage at the Pyramid Club Bali located on Jalan Dewi Sri in Kuta because they were forbidden entrance to the club on the grounds that the Pyramid club was about to close. The motocyclists were advised to go home which upset them so much that an uproar ensued that resulted in four Pyramid Club customers and four members of Satudarah ending up wounded.

IBP/net

“They are foreigners and do not present themselves as gangsters but rather a tour group. This incident however could have been avoided.

We will be working with immigration to ensure that visitors to Bali are more closely monitored in the future”, said Head of the Bali National Unity and Politics Agency, I Gede Putu Jaya Suartama, when contacted on Tuesday (Aug. 9).

Related to this issue, Suartama added that immigration officers have the authority to look into the Satudarah motorcycle club. Because the members are foreigners, the motorcycle club is not registered with the Bali National Unity and Politics Agency as a community organization in Bali.

“Law No. 17/2013 only protects Indonesian organizations, so it it falls to immigration authorities to look into the matter”, he explained.

Member of Commission I of the Bali House of Representatives, Nyoman Oka Antara, has asked the police to take immediate decisive action. Such chaotic incidents must not be allowed to negatively impact on tourism in Bali.

“This must be handled decisive decisively. The law must be enforced and the violators must be prosecuted according to prevailing laws. There should be neither discrimination nor favoritism given what these people allegedly commited. All people are equal before the law”, he said.

Although it was foreigners who allegedly committed the crime, continued Oka, Indonesian law applies to all regardless of country of origin.

“Once again, I stress that the law is no game. All relevant parites should be vigilant in maintaining the safety and comfort of Bali as a whole”, he added. (kmb32)

Cargill stops using human antibiotic to prevent disease in turkeys

REUTERS/Michael Dalder

Michael Phelps (USA) of USA is seen with red cupping marks on his shoulder as he competes.

Michael Phelps’ purple blotches spotlight ‘cupping’ trend

NEW YORK - It wasn’t just Michael Phelps’ big win on Sunday that had people talking about the U.S. swimming star.

It was also the dark purple circles on his shoulders.

Phelps, who won the 19th Olympic gold medal of his career on Sunday and helped the U.S. men’s team to victory in the 4x100 meters freestyle relay, is one of a number of Olympic athletes practicing “cupping,” an ancient Chinese healing practice.

During the therapy cups are placed on the section of the body in need of repair to create suction. The method is said to draw out any toxins, mobilize blood flow, soothe sore muscles and even help cure insomnia.

“I have done it for awhile but I haven’t had bad ones (marks) like this awhile though,” Phelps, who in 2015 posted an Instagram photo of himself receiving the therapy, told reporters on Monday.

“That’s where I hurt the most,” he said of the marks on his shoul-

der. “I have done it before pretty much every meet I go to. I just asked for a little cupping yesterday because I was sore.”

The 31-year-old, raising a roar from the crowd on his first competitive appearance at his fifth Games after sitting out the heats, now has an unprecedented 23 medals with two silvers and two bronzes filling out his tally.

On Monday, there were nearly 300 posts per minute mentioning Phelps on Twitter, according to social media analytics firm Zoomph.

U.S. gymnast Alex Naddour, 25, and Belarusian swimmer Pavel Sankovich are also fans of the procedure. Naddour posted a selfie with a big cupping mark on his shoulder last week, while Sankovich, 26, posted a photo on Instagram in June saying, “This

kinda Saturday morning. Cupping is a great recovery tool.”

Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and pop star Justin Bieber have also been photographed with the distinctive large circles on their backs and chest.

However, while the therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures, it has been less popular among more skeptical Western medical societies.

“There is no scientific rationale for expecting any health benefit from cupping,” the American Cancer Society said in a statement on Monday.

However, Jessica MacLean, acting director of the International Cupping Therapy Association, said she has seen a 20 percent increase in purchases of cupping therapy equipment and a 50 percent increase of healthcare practitioners seeking out their cupping certificates over the last three days. (rtr)

CHICAGO - U.S. meat processor Cargill Inc [CARG.UL] has stopped using an important antibiotic for people to prevent disease in most of its turkeys, the company said on Tuesday, the latest food maker to drop the drug over concerns about the impact on human medicine.

Cargill has not used the drug, gentamicin, to prevent disease in turkeys that supply its two biggest brands, Honeysuckle White and Shady Brook Farms, since Aug. 1, the company said.

Gentamicin was the only antibiotic Cargill used to prevent disease in turkeys, and by eliminating it from the brands, 50 million birds will be affected. The company did not remove the drug from its smaller turkey brands because they are produced to meet customers’ specifications, a spokesman said.

A number of food companies and restaurants have stopped using or are looking to curtail their use of certain antibiotics in livestock due to concerns about rising numbers of life-threatening human infections from antibiotic resistant bacteria dubbed “superbugs.”

On Tuesday, Yum Brands Inc investors filed a shareholder proposal encouraging the company to quickly phase out harmful antibiotics from its meat supply. The request came after McDonald’s Corp said last week that it had removed antibiotics important to human medicine from its chicken

months ahead of schedule.

Veterinary use of antibiotics is legal, but as the number of human infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria increases, consumer advocates and public health experts have campaigned to end their routine use in farm animals.

Cargill “weighed the desires of our customers and consumers to ensure the long-term effectiveness of antibiotics for people and animals” when deciding to curb gentamicin use, John Niemann, president of the company’s turkey business, said in a statement.

The company will continue to use antibiotics to treat sick turkeys and to stop the spread of diseases within flocks that include sick birds.

Cargill rival Perdue Farms has said it is raising more than half its turkeys without any antibiotics. Perdue and Tyson Foods Inc, the biggest U.S. meat processor, stopped using gentamicin in chickens in 2014.

Gentamicin is injected into baby birds shortly after they hatch or into their eggs before hatching to prevent disease and death.

Removing it is “a really important step if you want to quit using routine antibiotics in turkey production,” said Steve Roach, food safety program director for advocacy group Food Animal Concerns Trust. In March, Cargill said it was trimming antibiotics from its cattle supply.(rtr)

Farmers of Buleleng are good at producing agricultural products. Unfortunately, their products have not been able to dominate the market.

Agriculture in Buleleng constrained by post-harvest distribution

SINGARAJA — The Head of the Buleleng Cooperative, Trade and Industry Agency, Ketut Soeparto, assessed the agricultural production of Buleleng has high potential to be developed. However, within the past few years it experienced the post-harvest problems. Farmers tend to sell their rice to middlemen. The quality of rice grains produced is often neglected so that this condition leads to unstable price at the market level.

He described the rice produced by farmers in Buleleng tends to pursue the acceleration of agricultural growth rather than quality.

Composition of fertilizer, irrigation and cropping patterns have not been fully considered. The

agricultural constraint then arises regarding the post-harvest yield, where should it bring to? Soeparto assessed that farmers in Buleleng need to understand that the quality of rice affect the price of rice in the market.

“Post-harvest handling is needed to help our farmers in Buleleng. It is recognized that this constraint is now experienced at post-harvest, both the post-harvest in the broader sense and in the SMEs,” he explained, Monday (Aug. 8).

He did not deny that farmers of Buleleng are good at producing agricultural products. Unfortunately, their products have not been able to dominate the market.

For instance, agricultural commodities like rice are required to have particular moisture content and quality of grain. “So, many

of our farmers sell their grain directly to middlemen. The price of rice or grain is determined based on the area of paddy field. This means that farmers only seek the paddy growth until it is ready to harvest, not even pay attention to the quality of grain produced,” he added.

With the Buleleng Agriculture and Livestock Agency, Soeparto will improve the cooperation to pioneer farmers in producing quality rice. In addition, the distribution in the future will not merely take advantage of the sales to middle-

men through wholesale system.

The agricultural products such as fruits from rural to urban areas should also be escorted by government. Cooperation of farmers cannot be done independently. The sales need cooperation to set the same selling price.

“The government also prevents the declining prices of fruits. To avoid the fruits produced by farmers from perishing can be done by opening more widely selling market and the fruits must not be stored too long,” he explained. (kmb34)

To take water of lake

Residents of Batu Meyeh spend hundreds of thousands each month

IBP/rtr

BANGLI — Clean water crisis remains to be a classic problem faced by hundreds of residents in Kintamani, mainly those living in the area behind the hills. One of them is the resident of Batu Meyeh hamlet, Songan. For daily consumption, local residents are still taking advantage of water from Lake Batur accommodated in

reservoir. Not only that, to take up the water from the lake, each family head has to pay up to hundreds of thousands of rupiahs per month.

Hamlet chief of Batu Meyeh, Ketut Sarma, revealed that his hamlet territory is not only remote, but also dry.

To meet the water needs of residents at his village, the residents still utilize water taken from Lake Batur. This

must be done because there is no other water source that can be utilized.

Other than for consumption, the lake water is also used by residents to meet the needs of livestock.

Sarma said that to be able to use the water from Lake Batur, all this time his residents should take up with the help of engine-driven pump considering the distance

and terrain of Lake Batur to Batu Meyeh is quite far reaching 10.5 km and steep. From the lake, the water taken up using the engine is drained through pipeline to be further accommodated into a reservoir.

“Currently we have two reservoirs.

They are the assistance of a foundation. Actually two reservoirs are still considered not enough,” he

explained.

He added that to fill in the water availability in the reservoir the residents must take up the lake water approximately every five days. Due to using engine power, the residents inevitably spend operating costs.

He said that each family head must spend up to IDR 200,000 each month. (kmb40)

Increase coastal tourist visit through regatta

HONG KONG - Vietnam has discreetly fortified several of its islands in the disputed South China Sea with new mobile rocket launchers capable of striking China’s runways and military installations across the vital trade route, according to Western officials.

The Head of the Buleleng Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Made Arnika, explained that traditional regatta will be held on Tuesday (Aug. 9). The number of participants reached 103 teams dominated by coastal fishermen in the area of Buleleng. “A total of 103 teams will be involved in this event. This regatta is held annually. It is a means to introduce the marine tourism owned by Buleleng to local and foreign travelers,” she said, Monday (Aug. 8).

Coastal route to be covered is from Kerobokan to Lovina Beach. Both beaches have been well known to Buleleng society. Moreover, it is frequently used as an alternative destination for the family to unwind.

With the convening of the regatta, more and more visitors are expected to throng the beaches.

“Safety of all the participants is guaranteed because we make cooperation with the BPJS insurance. Hopefully, many spectators will come to watch and they can better love the coastal areas owned by Buleleng.

Moreover, tourism has been increasing in Buleleng.

IBP/kmb34 The regatta committee has prepared cash prize worth tens of millions,” she said. (kmb34) The number of participants reached 103 teams dominated by coastal fishermen in the area of Buleleng.

Madiun inmates alleged to control drugs in Bali admitted to keep crystal meth package on the refrigerator in his room put in candy wrapper.

“We got evidence in the form of two packages of crystal meth weighing 1.62 grams.

This was the first time arrest for the suspect,” said Djoko.

In addition, the team led by Djoko also arrested crystal meth trafficker with the initials KAP, 36, on Jalan Drupadi, East Denpasar.

When arrested, the suspect was sleeping while the door was open. As result of the search, the officers found a package of crystal meth in the pocket of jean pants used by the suspect, a package in the wallet and another package in the Zebo crease used by the suspect.

Police then searched the room of the suspect and could secured 11 packages of crystal meth under the TV shelf, electric scales, a bong, lighter, a bundle of clear plastic clip, a pair of scissors and other object.

All the evidences have been recognized to be owned by the suspect. For the crystal meth, the suspect admitted to have purchased from Kerobokan Prison inmate, Ry. “The system is the same, where the suspect ordered crystal meth to Ry through mobile phone and the money was transferred to the account of Ry. Then, Ry asked his man to stick the crystal meth package ordered by KAP somewhere.

So, the suspect KAP did not directly meet Ry but only having contact via mobile phone,” he said. (kmb36)

Vietnam moves new rocket launchers into disputed S.China Sea

SINGARAJA — Coastal tourist attraction of Lovina Beach is boosted by local government through the Buleleng Fisheries and Maritime Affairs. Such an action was carried out in the form of the traditional regatta among the local fishermen. Generally foreign travelers from Asia and Europe like to watch such traditional attraction as having unique value.

MANGUPURA - Other than the Kerobokan Prison inmates, in fact the inmates of Madiun Prison, East Java, are alleged to have controlled drug business in Bali. This was revealed after the personnel of the Badung Police Narcotic Investigation Unit arrested the debt collector with the initials EP, 31, due to serving as drug dealer, Saturday (Aug. 6). The suspect admitted to order the illicit goods from an inmate at Madiun Prison with the initials Km and the money was transferred to his account.

“We arrested the suspect on Jalan Tukad Badung III, South Denpasar. The truth of suspect’s testimony needs to be further explored,” said the Chief of Badung Police Narcotic Investigation Unit, Djoko Hariadi, with permission from the Chief of Badung Police, Ruddy Setiawan, Tuesday (Aug. 9).

Based on public information, he added, in addition to be a debt collector, the suspect also has side job as dealer of crystal meth.

When the suspect was sitting on his motorbike, the officers immediately arrested.

The search was conducted on the body and clothing of the suspect but nothing was found.

After that, the officer searched in the suspect’s motorcycle and finally found the crystal meth package. In addition, this tattooed suspect also

Diplomats and military officers told Reuters that intelligence shows Hanoi has shipped the launchers from the Vietnamese mainland into position on five bases in the Spratly islands in recent months, a move likely to raise tensions with Beijing.

The launchers have been hidden from aerial surveillance and they have yet to be armed, but could be made operational with rocket artillery rounds within two or three days, according to the three sources.

Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry said the information was “inaccurate”, without elaborating.

Deputy Defence Minister, Senior Lieutenant-General Nguyen Chi Vinh, told Reuters in Singapore in June that Hanoi had no such launchers or weapons ready in the Spratlys but reserved the right to take any such measures.

“It is within our legitimate right to self-defence to move any of our weapons to any area at any time within our sovereign territory,” he said.

The move is designed to counter China’s build-up on its seven reclaimed islands in the Spratlys archipelago. Vietnam’s military strategists fear the building runways, radars and other military installations on those holdings have left Vietnam’s southern and island defences increasingly vulnerable.

Military analysts say it is the most significant defensive move Vietnam has made on its holdings in the South China Sea in decades.

Hanoi wanted to have the launchers in place as it expected tensions to rise in the wake of the landmark international court ruling against China in an arbitration case brought by the Philippines, foreign envoys said.

The ruling last month, stridently rejected by Beijing, found no legal basis to China’s sweeping historic claims to much of the South China Sea. Vietnam, China and Taiwan claim all of the Spratlys while the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei claim some of the area. (rtr)

People carry the coffin of a victim of Monday’s suicide bomb attack at a hospital for burial in Quetta, Pakistan, August 9, 2016.

QUETTA - Pakistani mourners flocked to funerals on Tuesday for 74 victims, most of them lawyers, of the bombing of a hospital in the southwestern city of Quetta, and legal organisations staged a nationwide strike in protest.

Monday’s suicide bombing, which struck grief-stricken colleagues crowding around the body of the slain head of the provincial bar association, was the deadliest jihadist attack in Pakistan this year.

Shreds of black cloth from slain lawyers’ trademark dark suits still littered the ground on Tuesday at the Civil Hospital in Quetta, where glass from shattered windows remained and blood stained the walls.

Medical staff said up to 60 of those killed were lawyers who had gathered to mourn the assassination

earlier that day of the president of the Baluchistan Bar Association, Bilal Anwar Kasi.

“We cannot understand who did it and why ... We have no personal enmity of any kind with anyone,” said Shoaib Kasi, 42, Bilal Kasi’s younger brother and himself a lawyer at the Baluchistan High Court.

Abdul Hamid Khokher was speaking to his brother, lawyer Rashid Khoker, on the phone just moments before the blast. “I tried to contact him again, but we could not reach him,” the grief-stricken 67-year-old said at his brother’s funeral.

“I took his son Tayyab with me, and we went ... and all we could see were bodies. We started looking for my brother and at the end, we found him, he was lying there. We found his body.” (rtr)

Novartis CEO Joe Jimenez believes drugmakers must develop value-for-money pricing models, like the performance-based deal the Swiss drugmaker recently struck with two U.S. insurers for its new heart failure drug.

Under that deal, payments for Novartis’ Entresto pill are to be calculated in future based on the proven reduction in the proportion of the insurers’ patients admitted to hospital for heart failure, not on the number of pills they consume.

The aim is a flexible pricing system that rebates healthcare providers when a drug doesn’t work as planned and charges more when it works well.

EUROPE IN VANGUARD Europe is in the vanguard of such moves. Britain agreed an early performance-based deal for a Johnson & Johnson blood cancer drug back in 2007 and Italy also uses patient data to pay for cancer drugs based on actual patient responses.

GSK CEO Andrew Witty sees this outcomes-based approach slowly becoming the norm in more disease areas and geographies.

“Whoever wins the election in the U.S., and also in Europe, we will see those conversations play out over the next few years,” he told Reuters. “I am not particularly expecting anything dramatic in 2017.

I would say it is worth keeping an eye open for evolution of change, probably in ‘18 and ‘19.”

The pharmaceutical industry’s European trade association is already discussing ways to shift to outcomes pricing, following price curbs in Germany that have caused some companies to pull products off the market, and effective rationing in Britain, where strict cost-effectiveness rules apply.

Authorities in Asia’s two biggest markets, China and Japan, are also intervening in new ways to cap runaway costs.

least with the arrival of gene and cell therapies. These could cure diseases like haemophilia and certain cancers, but at a cost of hundreds of thousands or even $1 million a patient. “Pay for performance is going to become much more relevant,” he said.

Still, the obstacles are formidable. Drug companies and healthcare providers will need to work together to develop systems that capture and prove a medicine’s clinical value, ideally using computerised systems that are only just emerging.

There are also potential legal pitfalls, given the need to establish clear-cut clinical outcomes for patients and determine how much of an effect should be attributed to the medicine or other healthcare inputs.

“Overall, it is the right direction but there are many practical difficulties,” said Helen Roberts, a specialist in healthcare at law firm BonelliErede. “There may well be legal challenges if there is disagreement as to whether an outcome has actually been achieved.”(rtr)

Full-day school needs to be tried out in certain area: VP Kalla

Future of drug pricing: paying for benefits not per pill In the United States, both parties are promising fresh action on drug prices whoever wins the White House. In Europe, economies are stalled, squeezing state health budgets. And in China and other Asian markets, governments are getting tougher with suppliers.

Pricing drugs based on clinical outcomes is one way to ensure that limited funds bring the most benefits to patients now and pay for the most promising medical advances in future. Some experiments in pricing have already been made.

But shifting the overall industry to a new model requires improvements in data collection and a change in thinking, say drug pricing experts.

“Eventually, we are going to get there,” said Kurt Kessler, managing principal at ZS Associates in Zurich, which advises companies on sales and marketing strategies.

“But it is a long, tough slog because it’s difficult to get the right data and agree on what the right outcomes are to measure.”

In the past, governments and insurers made room in their budgets for new drugs by switching to cheap generics as patents expired on older drugs. But today generics already account for nearly nine out of every 10 prescriptions in key markets like the United States, and fewer big drugs are going off patent.

That leaves little headroom for pricey new medicines for cancer and other hard-to-treat diseases, even as they come to market in growing numbers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already approved 16 new drugs this year.

Investors got a wake-up call on the issue last Friday when $10 billion was lopped off the market value of Novo Nordisk as the world’s biggest diabetes firm warned of falling U.S. prices.

Indonesian capital’s airport opens $560 million terminal

JAKARTA — The Indonesian capital’s airport opened a new terminal Tuesday after years of operating at far above its passenger capacity.

Domestic flights for national carrier Garuda began operating in the morning from Soekarno-Hatta airport’s steel and glass $560 million Terminal 3. Its international flights will shift to the new terminal next month.

Other airlines will gradually move their flights to the terminal and the airport company plans to start refurbishing two old terminals, built in 1984 and 1992, later this year.

Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 250 million people, is one of world’s fastest growing air travel markets.

But many international airlines bypass the capital Jakarta in favor of modern, high-capacity airports at Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur for their Southeast Asian stopovers.

The airport operator and government hopes the new terminal, and a third runway that is under develop-

ment, will change that.

Budi Karya Sumadi, Indonesia’s transport minister and former president of the airport company, said “this terminal was built to change the image of the capital Jakarta.”

Soekarno-Hatta airport will be able to handle 62 million passengers a year once the renovated terminals are fully operational again in early 2018. The airport handled about 54 million passengers last year, making it the 18th busiest in the world, according to Airports Council International. An electric train from the airport to the city is slated for completion in early 2017.(ant)

JAKARTA - Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla has said he agreed on a discourse on issue of full-day school implementation, but it must be tried out first in a particular area.

“It must be tried out first in a particular area and if it is successful, it can be implemented gradually in other regions because I am sure that not all schools in the regions are ready to implement it,” Kalla remarked here on Wednesday.

The vice president explained that the full-day school was not new because many private schools have applied it.

But to implement it, he said certain conditions such as good cafeteria and good room to play must be fulfilled.

Therefore, the vice president stated that the full-day school must be adjusted to the areas that really need to apply it, because in farm areas the children must help their parents after school.

Earlier, Culture and Education Minister Muhadjir Effendy introduced the full-day school system for basic education, both for private and state elementary and lower secondary schools. Students will remain at school during the hours their parents are at work in offices.

The full-day school system will help develop the character of children, instead of leaving them free to indulge in any unsavory activity when parents are not home to supervise, Minister Effendy stated at a function in Malang, East Java, on Sunday.

However, many quarters considered it important that implications of any such idea be studied thoroughly.(ant)

Galela Airport remains closed due to Mt Dukono`s ash

JAKARTA - Galela Airport in North Maluku Province has remained closed due to volcanic ash emitted by Mt Dukono located in North Halmahera.

The erupting volcano spewed ash to a height of up to 800 meters from its crater on Tuesday evening, spokesman of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho stated here, Wednesday.

The airport has been shut down since Monday (Aug. 8) at 8:30 a.m. local time but is expected to become operational on Wednesday noon if the ash disperses.

Mt Dukono has erupted since Saturday (Aug. 6), spewing ash in the northern direction towards the sub-districts of North Tobelo and Galela, North Halmahera District, North Maluku Province.

Popilo (with a population of 1,686 people), North Popilo (543), Kokotajaya (917), Ruko (889), and Luari (1,652) are among the villages in North Tobelo affected by Mt Dukonos eruption.

In Galela, the affected villages include Mamuya (2,296 people), Pune (883), Soasio (1,590), Towards (823), Barataku (1,097), Toweka (734), and Simau (924).

The North Halmera disaster mitigation office has distributed a total of 10,650 face masks, while the Indonesian Red Cross has handed out six thousand face masks to the local inhabitants.

Mount Dukonos emergency status is at the second alert level. The public is not allowed to conduct any activity within a two-kilometer radius of the crater. No evacuation of refugees has, so far, been carried out.(ant)

17,845 national flags to be raised along Indonesia-Malaysia border

PONTIANAK - The Tanjungpura Military Command plans to raise 17,845 national flags along border of Indonesia (West Kalimantan) and Malaysia to commemorate Indonesias 71st Independence Day on August 17.

“The number of flags symbolize the Indonesian independence achieved on

August 17 in 1945,” Tanjungpura Military Command Spokesperson Colonel Tri Rana Subekti said here on Tuesday.

The flags will be installed at a predetermined point, starting from Temajuk Village, Sambas District, to Nanga Badau, Kapuas Hulu District.

“The flag raising ceremony will be carried out at the border security post,” Tri said.

Community figures, youth, religious and traditional leaders will declare a statement on defending the state during the ceremony.

“The statement will be handed over to the commander,” Tri remarked.

He pointed out that the flag-raising will start on August 13 and continue till August 17. The ceremony will also involve trail

bike lovers, who come from the island of Java. The group will join the community trail bike in West Kalimantan.

“The community trail bike will gather at Temajuk Village on August 12,” he added.

“The lifting will involve 350 people and 600 military personnel serving in the border regions,” Tri concluded.(ant)

Trump’s remarks on gun rights, Clinton unleash torrent of criticism

WILMINGTON - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that gun rights activists could act to stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from nominating liberal U.S. Supreme Court justices, igniting yet another fire storm of criticism just as he sought to steer clear of controversy.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” Trump said at a rally. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know,” he continued.

The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear firearms.

Before the remark, Trump had been emphasizing his case against Clinton, who is leading in national opinion polls in the race for the Nov. 8 election. Some in the audience in North Carolina who were seated behind Trump could be seen wincing when he made the comment.

Clinton’s campaign called the remark “dangerous.”

“A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any

way,” it said.

When asked to clarify what Trump meant, his campaign said he was referring to getting supporters of the Second Amendment to rally votes for Trump in the election.

“It’s called the power of unification - 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” the Trump campaign said in its statement.

Immediately after Trump made his comment, many on social media accused him of effectively calling for Clinton’s assassination. In just three hours, 2nd amendment became the top trending topic on Twitter, with more than 60,000 posts mentioning the term.

Introducing Trump later at an-

other rally in North Carolina, in Fayetteville, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused the news media of taking the remark out of context to help Clinton get elected.

“What he meant by that was you have the power to vote against her,” Giuliani said to cheers. “You have the power to speak against her.

You know why? Because you’re Americans.”

“It proves that most of the press is in the tank for Hillary Clinton,” he added. “They are doing everything they can to destroy Donald Trump.”

The U.S. Secret Service, which provides security details for both Trump and Clinton and rarely comments on political matters, when asked for a response on Trump, said: “The Secret Service is aware of the comment.”

Trump later told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” program that “nobody in that room” thought he meant anything other than to rally support against Clinton. (rtr)

Brazil Senate meets to indict suspended President Rousseff

BRASILIA - Brazil’s Senate met on Tuesday to vote on whether to indict President Dilma Rousseff on charges of breaking budget laws, in the long-awaited start of the trial phase of impeachment proceedings against her.

With Brazil’s attention focused on the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, senators in the capital Brasilia began to decide the country’s political future in a raucous session presided over by Chief Justice Ricardo Lewandowski that could run into Wednesday.

The impeachment of Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla and the first woman to lead Brazil, has paralyzed Brazilian politics since the start of the year, deepening a crisis set off by a massive kickbacks and bribery scandal at state-led oil company Petrobras.

The outcome of the vote is a foregone conclusion because opponents of Rousseff, who was suspended in May, need only a simple majority in the 81seat Senate to put her on trial.

A final verdict expected at the end of the month would require two-thirds of the votes. Media surveys of the Senate point to defeat for Rousseff and the end of 13 years of her Workers Party rule.

“We know we won’t win tonight.

We are focusing efforts on the final judgment by trying to win over undecided senators,” Workers Party Senator Regina Sousa told reporters.

Conviction on charges of manipulating government accounts and spending without congressional approval would definitively remove her from office and confirm interim President Michel Temer, who would serve out the rest of her term through 2018.

Temer’s aides are confident that 60 senators will vote to proceed with a trial, which is six more than needed to eventually convict her.

Uncertainty over Brazil’s political future has hampered efforts by Temer to plug a fiscal crisis inherited from Rousseff who is blamed for driving the economy into what could be its worst recession since the 1930s.

Temer, Rousseff’s conservative former vice president who took over when the Senate suspended her on May 12, has asked senators to wrap up the trial quickly so he can advance with reforms to cap public spending and rework an overly generous pension system.

Investor expectations that Rousseff would be ousted and replaced by the more business-friendly Temer have strengthened Brazil’s currency and driven up shares on the Sao Paulo stock market by over 30 percent since January, placing them among the world’s best performing assets.

Rousseff has denied any wrongdoing and denounced her impeachment as a right-wing conspiracy to illegally remove a government that improved the lot of Brazil’s poorer classes, by using an accounting technicality as a legal pretext.

Rousseff’s impeachment has stirred criticism outside Brazil, including from former U.S. presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders, who said she was being put on a political trial not a legal one. “To many Brazilians and observers the controversial impeachment process more closely resembles a coup d’état,” Sanders said in a statement issued on Monday.

Serena eliminated in third round upset

Other teams can only marvel at U.S. dominance

RIO DE JANEIRO - Olympic champion and world number one Serena Williams was bundled out of the Rio de Janeiro tennis tournament in the third round of the singles on Tuesday after a shock 6-4 6-3 defeat to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina.

The defeat by the 20th-ranked Svitolina ends Williams’ Olympic tournament, having also suffered a surprise loss in the doubles with older sister Venus on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Williams, who is not entered in the mixed doubles, cut short her media commitments after the loss, speaking only to the official broadcasters before she returned to the changing rooms.

Svitolina, who will face Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova in the quarter-finals, was over the moon with her first victory in five meetings over the 22-times grand slam singles winner.

“It’s an unreal feeling for me. This is just a perfect moment,” said Svitolina.

Williams grew increasingly frustrated during the match as she struggled to find her range, making 37 unforced errors compared to 17 by the 21-year-old Ukrainian.

Late in the second set, Williams served five double faults in a single game, which drew gasps from a shocked audience.

She took out her frustrations on her racquet, slamming it into the court surface on at least two occasions.

Williams’ defeat came hours after third seed and French Open champion Garbine Muguruza was upset by Puerto Rico’s Monica Puig.

Germany’s world number two Angelique Kerber, who beat Williams in the final of the Australian Open in January but lost the Wimbledon final to the American, is now the favourite for gold.

Williams had won three doubles Olympic titles with Venus. Their first round loss to Czech duo Barbora Strycova and Lucie Safarova was their first Olympic loss in the doubles.

They won the title in Sydney, did not pair up for Athens due to an injury to Serena but reclaimed the title in Beijing then defended it in London.

They have also won 14 women’s doubles grand slam titles. (rtr)

So commanding and consistent were the U.S. performances that members of the silver and bronze medal teams said they were essentially competing for the second place.

“We were trying for silver. That’s what we were aiming for,” said China’s Shang Chunsong, who won the bronze.

Asked about Biles in particular, Shang could only marvel: “I think she’s amazing, and she’s like a legend. She’s so strong.”

Russian gymnast Aliya Mustafina, who won the gold medal on the uneven bars at the 2012 London Games, said her team also entered the competition knowing they probably could not beat the Americans.

“We competed with the under-

standing that the U.S. team were stronger than us. So we understand - they won,” Mustafina said.

After Biles finished her powerpacked floor exercise, the scoreboard showed that the United States had amassed 184.897 points, an eightpoint gap over silver medal-winning team Russia, and the largest margin in the history of the event.

As a team, the United States scored higher than any other team on each of the four apparatuses: floor, uneven bars, vault and balance beam.

Biles and two other U.S. gymnasts, Aly Raisman and London all-around gold medal winner Gabby Douglas, had finished with the three highest all around scores in the qualifying event on Sunday.

Douglas, however, will not compete in the all around final in Rio, since the rules state that each country is only allowed to enter its top two qualifiers.

Not since the golden era of the Soviet Union, which won eight successive women’s team golds between 1952 and 1980, has one team been so superior.

Raisman, who also won two golds four years ago, said there was nothing unusual about the performances the team turned in.

“I know we make it look easy, but we work very hard in the gym,” Raisman told reporters.

Marta Karolyi, who helped turn her native Romania into a gymnastics powerhouse in the 70s with her husband Bela long before becoming head coach of the American team, said the quality of the U.S. program, and its dynasty, stacks up against those dominant Eastern European programs of the past. (rtr)

For happy Habte, it’s all about being different

RIO DE JANEIRO - If some swimmers consider second place to be first of the losers, spare a thought for Ethiopian Olympic debutant Robel Kiros Habte.

By the time the chubby 24-yearold had emerged for air from his opening dive off the blocks in the 100 metres freestyle heats, he was already

almost a body length behind and it did not get any better.

The only one of the 59 entrants in the heats not to complete the distance in under a minute, Habte touched the wall with a time 17 seconds slower than Australian pacesetter Kyle Chalmers who clocked 47.90.

Habte’s only rivals in the three-

man opening heat, Thibaut Danho of the Ivory Coast and Johnny Perez Urena of the Dominican Republic had removed their caps and were leaning on the lane markers as he trailed in more than 12 seconds behind.

The crowd, recognising a valiant effort, raised a cheer for a man whose land-locked compatriots are consider-

ably better known for long-distance running feats than any exploits involving water.

Habte acknowledged he had swum faster, his personal best being 59.08 seconds, and suggested morning training had left him feeling strained.

But he told Reuters he was de-

lighted anyway.

“I am so happy because it is my first competition in the Olympics,” said the Ethiopia-based university student, whose entry for Rio was secured on a special invitation from world body FINA extended to athletes from under-represented countries. (rtr)

Sp rt ‘Super-coach’ era arrives in cash-laden Premier League

MANCHESTER — Awash with more cash and global appeal than ever before, the English Premier League is still struggling to lure or retain the elite players in world football like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez. Here, for the moment, the Galacticos are the managers.

The era of the super-coach has arrived in England’s top division. Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Antonio Conte and Juergen Klopp make up possibly the most outstanding group of managers seen in this country at one time.

It means some huge reputations are going to take a battering during another highly anticipated Premier League campaign, which begins Saturday with no obvious title favorite and with predictions warped

by Leicester’s improbable surge to the championship last season. “It’s a world championship of managers,” said Wenger, the 66-year-old Arsenal manager.

For drama, it may pay to check out the coaches’ technical area as much as the field of play. No more so than when Mourinho and Guardiola renew their rivalry as the new managers of Manchester United and Manchester City, respectively.

The Manchester clubs have hogged the limelight this offseason because of the coaching arrivals and their heavy spending in the transfer market that reached $400 million on Tuesday with the signings of Paul Pogba (for a world-record $116 million) and John Stones. Most British bookmakers make the teams the two favorites for the title this season. Of course, the

bookies can get it wrong. Take last season, for example.

Leicester started out as a 5,000-1 shot to win the Premier League and ended up romping home to finish 10 points clear, delivering one of the biggest underdog triumphs in any sport. Chelsea started out as defending champion and favorite, and limped home in 10th place in the worst title defense seen in the Premier League.

This time round, City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham (in that order) are expected to be the main contenders in what is probably the most open field in years.

Champion Leicester is still only the seventh favorite.

A record injection of TV money, split evenly between England’s 20 top-flight teams, is leveling out the Premier League and increasing competition. This is the first season of a new three-year broadcasting deal for domestic and international rights worth a record 8.3 billion pounds ($10.8 billion) — 71 percent above the previous deal — and clubs have used that windfall to spend around $1 billion this offseason.

The likes of West Ham, Swansea, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have broken their transfer records over the last two months and the so-called lesser teams have no compulsion to

sell their top players, given the cash they are raking in. There are unlikely to be many easy victories gained this season. Guardiola said as much after joining City.

“To find a team to win four, five, six games in a row is not easy,” said Guardiola, a coach for whom losses were rare in trophy-laden spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich since 2008. “All the managers that have more experience than me in England talk about that. Maybe that is the challenge.”

It might be time to redefine the parameters of the word “success” this season. Wenger has been criticized by some footballing romantics for saying that qualifying for the Champions League is tantamount to winning a trophy, but few will argue this season.

Two or three big teams could easily finish outside the top four.

Eight teams start the season with new managers — none more highprofile than Guardiola, who makes his debut in the English game as a player or coach.

Making John Stones the world’s second most-expensive defender ever at $62 million took City’s spending to $200 million, building on an alreadystrong squad that underperformed in the Premier League last season but reached the Champions League semifinals. Like in his previous coaching jobs, Guardiola probably has the strongest team — but the depth of competition is far greater than he’s ever experienced.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho lines up with the Premier League trophy before the match Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Mourinho is often a quick starter at clubs. Chelsea, under the master tactician Conte, has added marauding midfielder N’Golo Kante for what could be the most inspired signing of the lot this offseason. Arsenal and Tottenham have been quiet but have more strength in depth. Liverpool should improve in its first full season under Klopp and could be more dangerous with no European distractions, just like Chelsea.

Few would feel confident predicting Leicester’s final position. A first season in the Champions League is a wonderful reward for a club still on a high from last season, but might prevent the team backing up winning the title with a top-four finish. Watch

out for pacey striker Ahmed Musa, Leicester’s club-record signing, causing defenses problems this season.

Elsewhere, David Moyes makes his Premier League return at Sunderland after sobering spells with United and then in Spain with Real Sociedad, Everton could threaten the top teams again with Ronald Koeman as coach and a more ambitious owner (Farhad Moshiri) in the boardroom, and West Ham might be a danger to the top four if the club adapts to life as a tenant at the Olympic Stadium.

Promoted clubs Hull, Middlesbrough and Burnley have recent Premier League experience so don’t expect them to be overawed, although they will start among the favorites for the drop. (ap)

BARCELONA — Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza has traveled to Spain in an effort to convince Lionel Messi to stay on the national team.

Messi, a record five-time world player of the year, said in June that “the national team is over for me” following Argentina’s loss in the Copa America final. That was Argentina’s third straight loss in a final, including the 2014 World Cup. Bauza says on his arrival to Bar-

celona “I have come to talk about football, so (Messi) can tell me his frustrations that made him say those words.” Bauza says “our talk will then lead to a decision.”

Bauza took over as Argentina coach after Gerardo Martino stepped down following the Copa America.

Messi will start the season Sunday, when Barcelona plays the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla. (ap)

Spanish soccer player Jese Rodrigez, holds his new Paris Saint Germain jersey as he poses with his companion Aurah Ruiz, right, at Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, Monday, Aug. 8, 2016. French champion Paris Saint-Germain bolstered its attack by recruiting Spanish forward Jese on a five-year deal from Real Madrid.

PARIS — With its star striker gone and a new coach at the helm, Paris Saint-Germain begins a new era in the French league — one likely to be marked by much more domestic success.

Even without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left for Manchester United after becoming PSG’s alltime leading scorer, the Parisian club looks stronger last season when it won a fourth consecutive French league title as well as both domestic cups.

PSG’s dominance last season removed any drama or suspense from the title race. The club finished with a record 96 points in the league, 31 more than secondplace Lyon, and scored 102 goals in 38 league matches, conceding only 19, two below Marseille’s previous defensive record of conceding 21 goals in the 199192 season.

PSG picked up where it left off, claiming the Champions Trophy — the traditional curtain-raiser to the French season — for a fourth straight year with a 4-1 win over Lyon last weekend.

“I said before that we would try to reduce the gap, but it remains too big between PSG, us and the other teams,” Lyon coach Bruno Genesio acknowledged after the loss. PSG starts the defense of its league title on Friday at Bastia.

“It’s too early to say that we are very strong, but we are very optimistic,” PSG president Nasser

Al-Khelaifi said. “I’ve plenty of confidence in my coach and players. I’m convinced that we are stronger this season.”

To compensate for the departure of Ibrahimovic and right back Gregory Van der Wiel, PSG has hired five new players this summer: midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak (Sevilla), forward Jese (Real Madrid), defender Thomas Meunier (Club Brugge), winger Hatem Ben Arfa (Nice) and attacking midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, who will remain with Argentine club Rosario until the end of December.

Spanish coach Unai Emery, who guided Sevilla to its third straight Europa League title last season, also replaced Laurent Blanc as coach.

The reinforcements should be enough for PSG to continue its dominance in a league lacking competition and real financial power. They are also expected to help PSG make a new step toward winning the Champions League,

which has turned into an obsession for Al-Khelaifi.

Despite leading PSG to backto-back domestic trebles, Blanc fell short in Europe as the club failed to get beyond the quarterfinals in four straight seasons.

Emery has been brought to PSG to make that change.

“This is our big goal, but we want to progress with the team before that,” Al-Khelaifi said.

“The style of play, trust, there are many details, and Unai Emery is working very hard to correct (that). We saw that in the Champions League, it’s the details that count if we want to go far and this is what the coach is doing.”

In addition to Emery’s Europa League successes, PSG’s new players are also bringing valuable European experience into the rejuvenated team. The 23-year-old Jese won the Champions league twice with Madrid while Krychowiak, 26, lifted the Europa League with Sevilla over the past two seasons.(ap)

Sp rt ‘Super-coach’ era arrives in cash-laden Premier League

MANCHESTER — Awash with more cash and global appeal than ever before, the English Premier League is still struggling to lure or retain the elite players in world football like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez. Here, for the moment, the Galacticos are the managers.

The era of the super-coach has arrived in England’s top division. Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Antonio Conte and Juergen Klopp make up possibly the most outstanding group of managers seen in this country at one time.

It means some huge reputations are going to take a battering during another highly anticipated Premier League campaign, which begins Saturday with no obvious title favorite and with predictions warped

by Leicester’s improbable surge to the championship last season. “It’s a world championship of managers,” said Wenger, the 66-year-old Arsenal manager.

For drama, it may pay to check out the coaches’ technical area as much as the field of play. No more so than when Mourinho and Guardiola renew their rivalry as the new managers of Manchester United and Manchester City, respectively.

The Manchester clubs have hogged the limelight this offseason because of the coaching arrivals and their heavy spending in the transfer market that reached $400 million on Tuesday with the signings of Paul Pogba (for a world-record $116 million) and John Stones. Most British bookmakers make the teams the two favorites for the title this season. Of course, the

bookies can get it wrong. Take last season, for example.

Leicester started out as a 5,000-1 shot to win the Premier League and ended up romping home to finish 10 points clear, delivering one of the biggest underdog triumphs in any sport. Chelsea started out as defending champion and favorite, and limped home in 10th place in the worst title defense seen in the Premier League.

This time round, City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham (in that order) are expected to be the main contenders in what is probably the most open field in years.

Champion Leicester is still only the seventh favorite.

A record injection of TV money, split evenly between England’s 20 top-flight teams, is leveling out the Premier League and increasing competition. This is the first season of a new three-year broadcasting deal for domestic and international rights worth a record 8.3 billion pounds ($10.8 billion) — 71 percent above the previous deal — and clubs have used that windfall to spend around $1 billion this offseason.

The likes of West Ham, Swansea, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have broken their transfer records over the last two months and the so-called lesser teams have no compulsion to

sell their top players, given the cash they are raking in. There are unlikely to be many easy victories gained this season. Guardiola said as much after joining City.

“To find a team to win four, five, six games in a row is not easy,” said Guardiola, a coach for whom losses were rare in trophy-laden spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich since 2008. “All the managers that have more experience than me in England talk about that. Maybe that is the challenge.”

It might be time to redefine the parameters of the word “success” this season. Wenger has been criticized by some footballing romantics for saying that qualifying for the Champions League is tantamount to winning a trophy, but few will argue this season.

Two or three big teams could easily finish outside the top four.

Eight teams start the season with new managers — none more highprofile than Guardiola, who makes his debut in the English game as a player or coach.

Making John Stones the world’s second most-expensive defender ever at $62 million took City’s spending to $200 million, building on an alreadystrong squad that underperformed in the Premier League last season but reached the Champions League semifinals. Like in his previous coaching jobs, Guardiola probably has the strongest team — but the depth of competition is far greater than he’s ever experienced.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho lines up with the Premier League trophy before the match Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Mourinho is often a quick starter at clubs. Chelsea, under the master tactician Conte, has added marauding midfielder N’Golo Kante for what could be the most inspired signing of the lot this offseason. Arsenal and Tottenham have been quiet but have more strength in depth. Liverpool should improve in its first full season under Klopp and could be more dangerous with no European distractions, just like Chelsea.

Few would feel confident predicting Leicester’s final position. A first season in the Champions League is a wonderful reward for a club still on a high from last season, but might prevent the team backing up winning the title with a top-four finish. Watch

out for pacey striker Ahmed Musa, Leicester’s club-record signing, causing defenses problems this season.

Elsewhere, David Moyes makes his Premier League return at Sunderland after sobering spells with United and then in Spain with Real Sociedad, Everton could threaten the top teams again with Ronald Koeman as coach and a more ambitious owner (Farhad Moshiri) in the boardroom, and West Ham might be a danger to the top four if the club adapts to life as a tenant at the Olympic Stadium.

Promoted clubs Hull, Middlesbrough and Burnley have recent Premier League experience so don’t expect them to be overawed, although they will start among the favorites for the drop. (ap)

BARCELONA — Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza has traveled to Spain in an effort to convince Lionel Messi to stay on the national team.

Messi, a record five-time world player of the year, said in June that “the national team is over for me” following Argentina’s loss in the Copa America final. That was Argentina’s third straight loss in a final, including the 2014 World Cup. Bauza says on his arrival to Bar-

celona “I have come to talk about football, so (Messi) can tell me his frustrations that made him say those words.” Bauza says “our talk will then lead to a decision.”

Bauza took over as Argentina coach after Gerardo Martino stepped down following the Copa America.

Messi will start the season Sunday, when Barcelona plays the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla. (ap)

Spanish soccer player Jese Rodrigez, holds his new Paris Saint Germain jersey as he poses with his companion Aurah Ruiz, right, at Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, Monday, Aug. 8, 2016. French champion Paris Saint-Germain bolstered its attack by recruiting Spanish forward Jese on a five-year deal from Real Madrid.

PARIS — With its star striker gone and a new coach at the helm, Paris Saint-Germain begins a new era in the French league — one likely to be marked by much more domestic success.

Even without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left for Manchester United after becoming PSG’s alltime leading scorer, the Parisian club looks stronger last season when it won a fourth consecutive French league title as well as both domestic cups.

PSG’s dominance last season removed any drama or suspense from the title race. The club finished with a record 96 points in the league, 31 more than secondplace Lyon, and scored 102 goals in 38 league matches, conceding only 19, two below Marseille’s previous defensive record of conceding 21 goals in the 199192 season.

PSG picked up where it left off, claiming the Champions Trophy — the traditional curtain-raiser to the French season — for a fourth straight year with a 4-1 win over Lyon last weekend.

Serena eliminated in third round upset

Other teams can only marvel at U.S. dominance

RIO DE JANEIRO - Olympic champion and world number one Serena Williams was bundled out of the Rio de Janeiro tennis tournament in the third round of the singles on Tuesday after a shock 6-4 6-3 defeat to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina.

The defeat by the 20th-ranked Svitolina ends Williams’ Olympic tournament, having also suffered a surprise loss in the doubles with older sister Venus on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Williams, who is not entered in the mixed doubles, cut short her media commitments after the loss, speaking only to the official broadcasters before she returned to the changing rooms.

Svitolina, who will face Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova in the quarter-finals, was over the moon with her first victory in five meetings over the 22-times grand slam singles winner.

“It’s an unreal feeling for me. This is just a perfect moment,” said Svitolina.

Williams grew increasingly frustrated during the match as she struggled to find her range, making 37 unforced errors compared to 17 by the 21-year-old Ukrainian.

Late in the second set, Williams served five double faults in a single game, which drew gasps from a shocked audience.

She took out her frustrations on her racquet, slamming it into the court surface on at least two occasions.

Williams’ defeat came hours after third seed and French Open champion Garbine Muguruza was upset by Puerto Rico’s Monica Puig.

Germany’s world number two Angelique Kerber, who beat Williams in the final of the Australian Open in January but lost the Wimbledon final to the American, is now the favourite for gold.

Williams had won three doubles Olympic titles with Venus. Their first round loss to Czech duo Barbora Strycova and Lucie Safarova was their first Olympic loss in the doubles.

They won the title in Sydney, did not pair up for Athens due to an injury to Serena but reclaimed the title in Beijing then defended it in London.

They have also won 14 women’s doubles grand slam titles. (rtr)

So commanding and consistent were the U.S. performances that members of the silver and bronze medal teams said they were essentially competing for the second place.

“We were trying for silver. That’s what we were aiming for,” said China’s Shang Chunsong, who won the bronze.

Asked about Biles in particular, Shang could only marvel: “I think she’s amazing, and she’s like a legend. She’s so strong.”

Russian gymnast Aliya Mustafina, who won the gold medal on the uneven bars at the 2012 London Games, said her team also entered the competition knowing they probably could not beat the Americans.

standing that the U.S. team were stronger than us. So we understand - they won,” Mustafina said.

After Biles finished her powerpacked floor exercise, the scoreboard showed that the United States had amassed 184.897 points, an eightpoint gap over silver medal-winning team Russia, and the largest margin in the history of the event.

As a team, the United States scored higher than any other team on each of the four apparatuses: floor, uneven bars, vault and balance beam.

Biles and two other U.S. gymnasts, Aly Raisman and London all-around gold medal winner Gabby Douglas, had finished with the three highest all around scores in the qualifying event on Sunday.

Douglas, however, will not compete in the all around final in Rio, since the rules state that each country is only allowed to enter its top two qualifiers.

Not since the golden era of the Soviet Union, which won eight successive women’s team golds between 1952 and 1980, has one team been so superior.

Raisman, who also won two golds four years ago, said there was nothing unusual about the performances the team turned in.

“I know we make it look easy, but we work very hard in the gym,” Raisman told reporters.

Marta Karolyi, who helped turn her native Romania into a gymnastics powerhouse in the 70s with her husband Bela long before becoming head coach of the American team, said the quality of the U.S. program, and its dynasty, stacks up against those dominant Eastern European programs of the past. (rtr)

For happy Habte, it’s all about being different

RIO DE JANEIRO - If some swimmers consider second place to be first of the losers, spare a thought for Ethiopian Olympic debutant Robel Kiros Habte.

By the time the chubby 24-yearold had emerged for air from his opening dive off the blocks in the 100 metres freestyle heats, he was already

almost a body length behind and it did not get any better.

The only one of the 59 entrants in the heats not to complete the distance in under a minute, Habte touched the wall with a time 17 seconds slower than Australian pacesetter Kyle Chalmers who clocked 47.90.

Habte’s only rivals in the three-

man opening heat, Thibaut Danho of the Ivory Coast and Johnny Perez Urena of the Dominican Republic had removed their caps and were leaning on the lane markers as he trailed in more than 12 seconds behind.

The crowd, recognising a valiant effort, raised a cheer for a man whose land-locked compatriots are consider-

ably better known for long-distance running feats than any exploits involving water.

Habte acknowledged he had swum faster, his personal best being 59.08 seconds, and suggested morning training had left him feeling strained.

But he told Reuters he was de-

lighted anyway.

“I am so happy because it is my first competition in the Olympics,” said the Ethiopia-based university student, whose entry for Rio was secured on a special invitation from world body FINA extended to athletes from under-represented countries. (rtr)

Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump attends a campaign rally at Crown Arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina August 9, 2016.

Trump’s remarks on gun rights, Clinton unleash torrent of criticism

WILMINGTON - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that gun rights activists could act to stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from nominating liberal U.S. Supreme Court justices, igniting yet another fire storm of criticism just as he sought to steer clear of controversy.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” Trump said at a rally. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know,” he continued.

The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear firearms.

Before the remark, Trump had been emphasizing his case against Clinton, who is leading in national opinion polls in the race for the Nov. 8 election. Some in the audience in North Carolina who were seated behind Trump could be seen wincing when he made the comment.

Clinton’s campaign called the remark “dangerous.”

“A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any

way,” it said.

When asked to clarify what Trump meant, his campaign said he was referring to getting supporters of the Second Amendment to rally votes for Trump in the election.

“It’s called the power of unification - 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” the Trump campaign said in its statement.

Immediately after Trump made his comment, many on social media accused him of effectively calling for Clinton’s assassination. In just three hours, 2nd amendment became the top trending topic on Twitter, with more than 60,000 posts mentioning the term.

Introducing Trump later at an-

other rally in North Carolina, in Fayetteville, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused the news media of taking the remark out of context to help Clinton get elected.

“What he meant by that was you have the power to vote against her,” Giuliani said to cheers. “You have the power to speak against her.

You know why? Because you’re Americans.”

“It proves that most of the press is in the tank for Hillary Clinton,” he added. “They are doing everything they can to destroy Donald Trump.”

The U.S. Secret Service, which provides security details for both Trump and Clinton and rarely comments on political matters, when asked for a response on Trump, said: “The Secret Service is aware of the comment.”

Trump later told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” program that “nobody in that room” thought he meant anything other than to rally support against Clinton. (rtr)

Brazil Senate meets to indict suspended President Rousseff

BRASILIA - Brazil’s Senate met on Tuesday to vote on whether to indict President Dilma Rousseff on charges of breaking budget laws, in the long-awaited start of the trial phase of impeachment proceedings against her.

With Brazil’s attention focused on the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, senators in the capital Brasilia began to decide the country’s political future in a raucous session presided over by Chief Justice Ricardo Lewandowski that could run into Wednesday.

The impeachment of Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla and the first woman to lead Brazil, has paralyzed Brazilian politics since the start of the year, deepening a crisis set off by a massive kickbacks and bribery scandal at state-led oil company Petrobras.

The outcome of the vote is a foregone conclusion because opponents of Rousseff, who was suspended in May, need only a simple majority in the 81seat Senate to put her on trial.

A final verdict expected at the end of the month would require two-thirds of the votes. Media surveys of the Senate point to defeat for Rousseff and the end of 13 years of her Workers Party rule.

“We know we won’t win tonight.

We are focusing efforts on the final judgment by trying to win over undecided senators,” Workers Party Senator Regina Sousa told reporters.

Conviction on charges of manipulating government accounts and spending without congressional approval would definitively remove her from office and confirm interim President Michel Temer, who would serve out the rest of her term through 2018.

Temer’s aides are confident that 60 senators will vote to proceed with a trial, which is six more than needed to eventually convict her.

Uncertainty over Brazil’s political future has hampered efforts by Temer to plug a fiscal crisis inherited from Rousseff who is blamed for driving the economy into what could be its worst recession since the 1930s.

Temer, Rousseff’s conservative former vice president who took over when the Senate suspended her on May 12, has asked senators to wrap up the trial quickly so he can advance with reforms to cap public spending and rework an overly generous pension system.

Investor expectations that Rousseff would be ousted and replaced by the more business-friendly Temer have strengthened Brazil’s currency and driven up shares on the Sao Paulo stock market by over 30 percent since January, placing them among the world’s best performing assets.

Rousseff has denied any wrongdoing and denounced her impeachment as a right-wing conspiracy to illegally remove a government that improved the lot of Brazil’s poorer classes, by using an accounting technicality as a legal pretext.

Rousseff’s impeachment has stirred criticism outside Brazil, including from former U.S. presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders, who said she was being put on a political trial not a legal one. “To many Brazilians and observers the controversial impeachment process more closely resembles a coup d’état,” Sanders said in a statement issued on Monday.

LONDON - Global pressure on health spending is forcing the $1 trillion-a-year pharmaceutical industry to look for new ways to price its products: charging based on how much they improve patients’ health, rather than how many pills or vials are sold.

Passengers wait for their flights on the first day of operation of the new terminal of SoekarnoHatta International Airport in Tangerang in the outskirt of Jakarta, Indonesia, early Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016. The Indonesian capital’s airport opened its $560 million, steel and glass Terminal 3 Tuesday after years of operating at far above its passenger capacity.

A customer waits at the counter of a CVS Pharmacy store in Pasadena, U.S., May 2, 2016. pushing back hard by excluding some drugs deemed too expensive - including Novo’s - leading to a crunch in areas like diabetes, a disease that now accounts for 12 percent of global healthcare spending.

The Danish group has an unusually high exposure to the U.S. market, but it is not alone in signalling tough times ahead.

The chief executives of Novartis, Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline have all warned recently that pricing will become increasingly challenging across the board.

Accounting for 40 percent of global drug sales, the fate of the U.S. market is front and centre in the minds of drug company executives, some of whom privately admit to preparing for a “confrontational” period in relations with politicians.

Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have suggested new measures to curb prices, including allowing imports from lower-cost countries, while individual U.S. states, starting with Vermont, are working on transparency legislation

that would require firms to disclose costs to justify drug prices.

Novartis CEO Joe Jimenez believes drugmakers must develop value-for-money pricing models, like the performance-based deal the Swiss drugmaker recently struck with two U.S. insurers for its new heart failure drug.

Under that deal, payments for Novartis’ Entresto pill are to be calculated in future based on the proven reduction in the proportion of the insurers’ patients admitted to hospital for heart failure, not on the number of pills they consume.

The aim is a flexible pricing system that rebates healthcare providers when a drug doesn’t work as planned and charges more when it works well.

EUROPE IN VANGUARD Europe is in the vanguard of such moves. Britain agreed an early performance-based deal for a Johnson & Johnson blood cancer drug back in 2007 and Italy also uses patient data to pay for cancer drugs based on actual patient responses.

GSK CEO Andrew Witty sees this outcomes-based approach slowly becoming the norm in more disease areas and geographies.

“Whoever wins the election in the U.S., and also in Europe, we will see those conversations play out over the next few years,” he told Reuters. “I am not particularly expecting anything dramatic in 2017.

I would say it is worth keeping an eye open for evolution of change, probably in ‘18 and ‘19.”

The pharmaceutical industry’s European trade association is already discussing ways to shift to outcomes pricing, following price curbs in Germany that have caused some companies to pull products off the market, and effective rationing in Britain, where strict cost-effectiveness rules apply.

Authorities in Asia’s two biggest markets, China and Japan, are also intervening in new ways to cap runaway costs.

Dani Saurymper, manager of the AXA Framlington Health fund, believes the issue is going to move up the agenda for investors, not

least with the arrival of gene and cell therapies. These could cure diseases like haemophilia and certain cancers, but at a cost of hundreds of thousands or even $1 million a patient. “Pay for performance is going to become much more relevant,” he said.

Still, the obstacles are formidable. Drug companies and healthcare providers will need to work together to develop systems that capture and prove a medicine’s clinical value, ideally using computerised systems that are only just emerging.

There are also potential legal pitfalls, given the need to establish clear-cut clinical outcomes for patients and determine how much of an effect should be attributed to the medicine or other healthcare inputs.

“Overall, it is the right direction but there are many practical difficulties,” said Helen Roberts, a specialist in healthcare at law firm BonelliErede. “There may well be legal challenges if there is disagreement as to whether an outcome has actually been achieved.”(rtr)

Full-day school needs to be tried out in certain area: VP Kalla

Future of drug pricing: paying for benefits not per pill In the United States, both parties are promising fresh action on drug prices whoever wins the White House. In Europe, economies are stalled, squeezing state health budgets. And in China and other Asian markets, governments are getting tougher with suppliers.

Pricing drugs based on clinical outcomes is one way to ensure that limited funds bring the most benefits to patients now and pay for the most promising medical advances in future. Some experiments in pricing have already been made.

But shifting the overall industry to a new model requires improvements in data collection and a change in thinking, say drug pricing experts.

“Eventually, we are going to get there,” said Kurt Kessler, managing principal at ZS Associates in Zurich, which advises companies on sales and marketing strategies.

“But it is a long, tough slog because it’s difficult to get the right data and agree on what the right outcomes are to measure.”

In the past, governments and insurers made room in their budgets for new drugs by switching to cheap generics as patents expired on older drugs. But today generics already account for nearly nine out of every 10 prescriptions in key markets like the United States, and fewer big drugs are going off patent.

That leaves little headroom for pricey new medicines for cancer and other hard-to-treat diseases, even as they come to market in growing numbers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already approved 16 new drugs this year.

Investors got a wake-up call on the issue last Friday when $10 billion was lopped off the market value of Novo Nordisk as the world’s biggest diabetes firm warned of falling U.S. prices.

Indonesian capital’s airport opens $560 million terminal

JAKARTA — The Indonesian capital’s airport opened a new terminal Tuesday after years of operating at far above its passenger capacity.

Domestic flights for national carrier Garuda began operating in the morning from Soekarno-Hatta airport’s steel and glass $560 million Terminal 3. Its international flights will shift to the new terminal next month.

Other airlines will gradually move their flights to the terminal and the airport company plans to start refurbishing two old terminals, built in 1984 and 1992, later this year.

Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 250 million people, is one of world’s fastest growing air travel markets.

But many international airlines bypass the capital Jakarta in favor of modern, high-capacity airports at Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur for their Southeast Asian stopovers.

The airport operator and government hopes the new terminal, and a third runway that is under develop-

ment, will change that.

Budi Karya Sumadi, Indonesia’s transport minister and former president of the airport company, said “this terminal was built to change the image of the capital Jakarta.”

Soekarno-Hatta airport will be able to handle 62 million passengers a year once the renovated terminals are fully operational again in early 2018. The airport handled about 54 million passengers last year, making it the 18th busiest in the world, according to Airports Council International. An electric train from the airport to the city is slated for completion in early 2017.(ant)

JAKARTA - Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla has said he agreed on a discourse on issue of full-day school implementation, but it must be tried out first in a particular area.

“It must be tried out first in a particular area and if it is successful, it can be implemented gradually in other regions because I am sure that not all schools in the regions are ready to implement it,” Kalla remarked here on Wednesday.

The vice president explained that the full-day school was not new because many private schools have applied it.

But to implement it, he said certain conditions such as good cafeteria and good room to play must be fulfilled.

Therefore, the vice president stated that the full-day school must be adjusted to the areas that really need to apply it, because in farm areas the children must help their parents after school.

Earlier, Culture and Education Minister Muhadjir Effendy introduced the full-day school system for basic education, both for private and state elementary and lower secondary schools. Students will remain at school during the hours their parents are at work in offices.

The full-day school system will help develop the character of children, instead of leaving them free to indulge in any unsavory activity when parents are not home to supervise, Minister Effendy stated at a function in Malang, East Java, on Sunday.

However, many quarters considered it important that implications of any such idea be studied thoroughly.(ant)

Galela Airport remains closed due to Mt Dukono`s ash

JAKARTA - Galela Airport in North Maluku Province has remained closed due to volcanic ash emitted by Mt Dukono located in North Halmahera.

The erupting volcano spewed ash to a height of up to 800 meters from its crater on Tuesday evening, spokesman of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho stated here, Wednesday.

The airport has been shut down since Monday (Aug. 8) at 8:30 a.m. local time but is expected to become operational on Wednesday noon if the ash disperses.

Mt Dukono has erupted since Saturday (Aug. 6), spewing ash in the northern direction towards the sub-districts of North Tobelo and Galela, North Halmahera District, North Maluku Province.

Popilo (with a population of 1,686 people), North Popilo (543), Kokotajaya (917), Ruko (889), and Luari (1,652) are among the villages in North Tobelo affected by Mt Dukonos eruption.

In Galela, the affected villages include Mamuya (2,296 people), Pune (883), Soasio (1,590), Towards (823), Barataku (1,097), Toweka (734), and Simau (924).

The North Halmera disaster mitigation office has distributed a total of 10,650 face masks, while the Indonesian Red Cross has handed out six thousand face masks to the local inhabitants.

Mount Dukonos emergency status is at the second alert level. The public is not allowed to conduct any activity within a two-kilometer radius of the crater. No evacuation of refugees has, so far, been carried out.(ant)

PONTIANAK - The Tanjungpura Military Command plans to raise 17,845 national flags along border of Indonesia (West Kalimantan) and Malaysia to commemorate Indonesias 71st Independence Day on August 17.

Increase coastal tourist visit through regatta

HONG KONG - Vietnam has discreetly fortified several of its islands in the disputed South China Sea with new mobile rocket launchers capable of striking China’s runways and military installations across the vital trade route, according to Western officials.

The Head of the Buleleng Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Made Arnika, explained that traditional regatta will be held on Tuesday (Aug. 9). The number of participants reached 103 teams dominated by coastal fishermen in the area of Buleleng. “A total of 103 teams will be involved in this event. This regatta is held annually. It is a means to introduce the marine tourism owned by Buleleng to local and foreign travelers,” she said, Monday (Aug. 8).

Coastal route to be covered is from Kerobokan to Lovina Beach. Both beaches have been well known to Buleleng society. Moreover, it is frequently used as an alternative destination for the family to unwind.

With the convening of the regatta, more and more visitors are expected to throng the beaches.

“Safety of all the participants is guaranteed because we make cooperation with the BPJS insurance. Hopefully, many spectators will come to watch and they can better love the coastal areas owned by Buleleng.

Moreover, tourism has been increasing in Buleleng.

IBP/kmb34 The regatta committee has prepared cash prize worth tens of millions,” she said. (kmb34) The number of participants reached 103 teams dominated by coastal fishermen in the area of Buleleng.

Madiun inmates alleged to control drugs in Bali admitted to keep crystal meth package on the refrigerator in his room put in candy wrapper.

“We got evidence in the form of two packages of crystal meth weighing 1.62 grams.

This was the first time arrest for the suspect,” said Djoko.

In addition, the team led by Djoko also arrested crystal meth trafficker with the initials KAP, 36, on Jalan Drupadi, East Denpasar.

When arrested, the suspect was sleeping while the door was open. As result of the search, the officers found a package of crystal meth in the pocket of jean pants used by the suspect, a package in the wallet and another package in the Zebo crease used by the suspect.

Police then searched the room of the suspect and could secured 11 packages of crystal meth under the TV shelf, electric scales, a bong, lighter, a bundle of clear plastic clip, a pair of scissors and other object.

All the evidences have been recognized to be owned by the suspect. For the crystal meth, the suspect admitted to have purchased from Kerobokan Prison inmate, Ry. “The system is the same, where the suspect ordered crystal meth to Ry through mobile phone and the money was transferred to the account of Ry. Then, Ry asked his man to stick the crystal meth package ordered by KAP somewhere.

So, the suspect KAP did not directly meet Ry but only having contact via mobile phone,” he said. (kmb36)

Vietnam moves new rocket launchers into disputed S.China Sea

SINGARAJA — Coastal tourist attraction of Lovina Beach is boosted by local government through the Buleleng Fisheries and Maritime Affairs. Such an action was carried out in the form of the traditional regatta among the local fishermen. Generally foreign travelers from Asia and Europe like to watch such traditional attraction as having unique value.

MANGUPURA - Other than the Kerobokan Prison inmates, in fact the inmates of Madiun Prison, East Java, are alleged to have controlled drug business in Bali. This was revealed after the personnel of the Badung Police Narcotic Investigation Unit arrested the debt collector with the initials EP, 31, due to serving as drug dealer, Saturday (Aug. 6).

Diplomats and military officers told Reuters that intelligence shows Hanoi has shipped the launchers from the Vietnamese mainland into position on five bases in the Spratly islands in recent months, a move likely to raise tensions with Beijing.

The launchers have been hidden from aerial surveillance and they have yet to be armed, but could be made operational with rocket artillery rounds within two or three days, according to the three sources.

Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry said the information was “inaccurate”, without elaborating.

Deputy Defence Minister, Senior Lieutenant-General Nguyen Chi Vinh, told Reuters in Singapore in June that Hanoi had no such launchers or weapons ready in the Spratlys but reserved the right to take any such measures.

“It is within our legitimate right to self-defence to move any of our weapons to any area at any time within our sovereign territory,” he said.

The move is designed to counter China’s build-up on its seven reclaimed islands in the Spratlys archipelago. Vietnam’s military strategists fear the building runways, radars and other military installations on those holdings have left Vietnam’s southern and island defences increasingly vulnerable.

Military analysts say it is the most significant defensive move Vietnam has made on its holdings in the South China Sea in decades.

Hanoi wanted to have the launchers in place as it expected tensions to rise in the wake of the landmark international court ruling against China in an arbitration case brought by the Philippines, foreign envoys said.

The ruling last month, stridently rejected by Beijing, found no legal basis to China’s sweeping historic claims to much of the South China Sea. Vietnam, China and Taiwan claim all of the Spratlys while the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei claim some of the area. (rtr)

People carry the coffin of a victim of Monday’s suicide bomb attack at a hospital for burial in Quetta, Pakistan, August 9, 2016.

QUETTA - Pakistani mourners flocked to funerals on Tuesday for 74 victims, most of them lawyers, of the bombing of a hospital in the southwestern city of Quetta, and legal organisations staged a nationwide strike in protest.

Monday’s suicide bombing, which struck grief-stricken colleagues crowding around the body of the slain head of the provincial bar association, was the deadliest jihadist attack in Pakistan this year.

Shreds of black cloth from slain lawyers’ trademark dark suits still littered the ground on Tuesday at the Civil Hospital in Quetta, where glass from shattered windows remained and blood stained the walls.

Medical staff said up to 60 of those killed were lawyers who had gathered to mourn the assassination

earlier that day of the president of the Baluchistan Bar Association, Bilal Anwar Kasi.

“We cannot understand who did it and why ... We have no personal enmity of any kind with anyone,” said Shoaib Kasi, 42, Bilal Kasi’s younger brother and himself a lawyer at the Baluchistan High Court.

Abdul Hamid Khokher was speaking to his brother, lawyer Rashid Khoker, on the phone just moments before the blast. “I tried to contact him again, but we could not reach him,” the grief-stricken 67-year-old said at his brother’s funeral.

“I took his son Tayyab with me, and we went ... and all we could see were bodies. We started looking for my brother and at the end, we found him, he was lying there. We found his body.” (rtr)

Cargill stops using human antibiotic to prevent disease in turkeys

Michael Phelps (USA) of USA is seen with red cupping marks on his shoulder as he competes.

Michael Phelps’ purple blotches spotlight ‘cupping’ trend

NEW YORK - It wasn’t just Michael Phelps’ big win on Sunday that had people talking about the U.S. swimming star.

It was also the dark purple circles on his shoulders.

Phelps, who won the 19th Olympic gold medal of his career on Sunday and helped the U.S. men’s team to victory in the 4x100 meters freestyle relay, is one of a number of Olympic athletes practicing “cupping,” an ancient Chinese healing practice.

During the therapy cups are placed on the section of the body in need of repair to create suction. The method is said to draw out any toxins, mobilize blood flow, soothe sore muscles and even help cure insomnia.

“I have done it for awhile but I haven’t had bad ones (marks) like this awhile though,” Phelps, who in 2015 posted an Instagram photo of himself receiving the therapy, told reporters on Monday.

“That’s where I hurt the most,” he said of the marks on his shoul-

der. “I have done it before pretty much every meet I go to. I just asked for a little cupping yesterday because I was sore.”

The 31-year-old, raising a roar from the crowd on his first competitive appearance at his fifth Games after sitting out the heats, now has an unprecedented 23 medals with two silvers and two bronzes filling out his tally.

On Monday, there were nearly 300 posts per minute mentioning Phelps on Twitter, according to social media analytics firm Zoomph.

U.S. gymnast Alex Naddour, 25, and Belarusian swimmer Pavel Sankovich are also fans of the procedure. Naddour posted a selfie with a big cupping mark on his shoulder last week, while Sankovich, 26, posted a photo on Instagram in June saying, “This

kinda Saturday morning. Cupping is a great recovery tool.”

Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and pop star Justin Bieber have also been photographed with the distinctive large circles on their backs and chest.

However, while the therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures, it has been less popular among more skeptical Western medical societies.

“There is no scientific rationale for expecting any health benefit from cupping,” the American Cancer Society said in a statement on Monday.

However, Jessica MacLean, acting director of the International Cupping Therapy Association, said she has seen a 20 percent increase in purchases of cupping therapy equipment and a 50 percent increase of healthcare practitioners seeking out their cupping certificates over the last three days. (rtr)

CHICAGO - U.S. meat processor Cargill Inc [CARG.UL] has stopped using an important antibiotic for people to prevent disease in most of its turkeys, the company said on Tuesday, the latest food maker to drop the drug over concerns about the impact on human medicine.

Cargill has not used the drug, gentamicin, to prevent disease in turkeys that supply its two biggest brands, Honeysuckle White and Shady Brook Farms, since Aug. 1, the company said.

Gentamicin was the only antibiotic Cargill used to prevent disease in turkeys, and by eliminating it from the brands, 50 million birds will be affected. The company did not remove the drug from its smaller turkey brands because they are produced to meet customers’ specifications, a spokesman said.

A number of food companies and restaurants have stopped using or are looking to curtail their use of certain antibiotics in livestock due to concerns about rising numbers of life-threatening human infections from antibiotic resistant bacteria dubbed “superbugs.”

On Tuesday, Yum Brands Inc investors filed a shareholder proposal encouraging the company to quickly phase out harmful antibiotics from its meat supply. The request came after McDonald’s Corp said last week that it had removed antibiotics important to human medicine from its chicken

months ahead of schedule.

Veterinary use of antibiotics is legal, but as the number of human infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria increases, consumer advocates and public health experts have campaigned to end their routine use in farm animals.

Cargill “weighed the desires of our customers and consumers to ensure the long-term effectiveness of antibiotics for people and animals” when deciding to curb gentamicin use, John Niemann, president of the company’s turkey business, said in a statement.

The company will continue to use antibiotics to treat sick turkeys and to stop the spread of diseases within flocks that include sick birds.

Cargill rival Perdue Farms has said it is raising more than half its turkeys without any antibiotics. Perdue and Tyson Foods Inc, the biggest U.S. meat processor, stopped using gentamicin in chickens in 2014.

Gentamicin is injected into baby birds shortly after they hatch or into their eggs before hatching to prevent disease and death.

Removing it is “a really important step if you want to quit using routine antibiotics in turkey production,” said Steve Roach, food safety program director for advocacy group Food Animal Concerns Trust. In March, Cargill said it was trimming antibiotics from its cattle supply.(rtr)

Agriculture in Buleleng constrained by post-harvest distribution

SINGARAJA — The Head of the Buleleng Cooperative, Trade and Industry Agency, Ketut Soeparto, assessed the agricultural production of Buleleng has high potential to be developed. However, within the past few years it experienced the post-harvest problems. Farmers tend to sell their rice to middlemen. The quality of rice grains produced is often neglected so that this condition leads to unstable price at the market level.

He described the rice produced by farmers in Buleleng tends to pursue the acceleration of agricultural growth rather than quality.

Composition of fertilizer, irrigation and cropping patterns have not been fully considered. The

agricultural constraint then arises regarding the post-harvest yield, where should it bring to? Soeparto assessed that farmers in Buleleng need to understand that the quality of rice affect the price of rice in the market.

“Post-harvest handling is needed to help our farmers in Buleleng. It is recognized that this constraint is now experienced at post-harvest, both the post-harvest in the broader sense and in the SMEs,” he explained, Monday (Aug. 8).

He did not deny that farmers of Buleleng are good at producing agricultural products. Unfortunately, their products have not been able to dominate the market.

For instance, agricultural commodities like rice are required to have particular moisture content and quality of grain. “So, many

of our farmers sell their grain directly to middlemen. The price of rice or grain is determined based on the area of paddy field. This means that farmers only seek the paddy growth until it is ready to harvest, not even pay attention to the quality of grain produced,” he added.

With the Buleleng Agriculture and Livestock Agency, Soeparto will improve the cooperation to pioneer farmers in producing quality rice. In addition, the distribution in the future will not merely take advantage of the sales to middle-

men through wholesale system.

The agricultural products such as fruits from rural to urban areas should also be escorted by government. Cooperation of farmers cannot be done independently. The sales need cooperation to set the same selling price.

“The government also prevents the declining prices of fruits. To avoid the fruits produced by farmers from perishing can be done by opening more widely selling market and the fruits must not be stored too long,” he explained. (kmb34)

To take water of lake

Residents of Batu Meyeh spend hundreds of thousands each month

IBP/rtr

BANGLI — Clean water crisis remains to be a classic problem faced by hundreds of residents in Kintamani, mainly those living in the area behind the hills. One of them is the resident of Batu Meyeh hamlet, Songan. For daily consumption, local residents are still taking advantage of water from Lake Batur accommodated in

reservoir. Not only that, to take up the water from the lake, each family head has to pay up to hundreds of thousands of rupiahs per month.

Hamlet chief of Batu Meyeh, Ketut Sarma, revealed that his hamlet territory is not only remote, but also dry.

To meet the water needs of residents at his village, the residents still utilize water taken from Lake Batur. This

must be done because there is no other water source that can be utilized.

Other than for consumption, the lake water is also used by residents to meet the needs of livestock.

Sarma said that to be able to use the water from Lake Batur, all this time his residents should take up with the help of engine-driven pump considering the distance

and terrain of Lake Batur to Batu Meyeh is quite far reaching 10.5 km and steep. From the lake, the water taken up using the engine is drained through pipeline to be further accommodated into a reservoir.

“Currently we have two reservoirs.

They are the assistance of a foundation. Actually two reservoirs are still considered not enough,” he

explained.

He added that to fill in the water availability in the reservoir the residents must take up the lake water approximately every five days. Due to using engine power, the residents inevitably spend operating costs.

He said that each family head must spend up to IDR 200,000 each month. (kmb40)

Participatory development, continued Sudikerta, involves people being treated as the subjects and by building awareness, criticality and encouraging independence so that people can prosper.

“Given the restricted regional and national budgets allotted to dealing with housing issues, the government has made the decision to deal with the problem of slums through the ‘city without slums’ program”, he added.

Sudikerta added that the ‘city without slums’ program was designed by the Directorate General of Cipta Karya who has served

as program organizer of the National Community Empowerment (PNPM) since 2007. He hopes that the problem of slums can be addressed quickly by increasing the synergy between the government and society at large in dealing with housing and settlement programs.

“The ‘city without slums’ program is part of an effort to create livable and sustainable urban neighborhoods through the 100-0100 (hundred-zero-one hundred) initiative, namely by achieving 100 percent access to drinking water. In other words, reducing slums to 0 percent and producing 100 percent access to sanitation for people in Indonesia by the end of 2019” he affirmed. (kmb32)

Case of Satudarah motorcycle club

Kesbangpol to coordinate with immigration

DENPASAR - The Bali National Unity and Politics Agency (Kesbangpolinmas) will be coordinating with immigration authorities in order to deal with the Satudarah motorcycle club that created an incident in Kuta on Monday (Aug. 8). Dozens of Satudarah motorcycle club members flew into a rage at the Pyramid Club Bali located on Jalan Dewi Sri in Kuta because they were forbidden entrance to the club on the grounds that the Pyramid club was about to close. The motocyclists were advised to go home which upset them so much that an uproar ensued that resulted in four Pyramid Club customers and four members of Satudarah ending up wounded.

IBP/net

“They are foreigners and do not present themselves as gangsters but rather a tour group. This incident however could have been avoided.

We will be working with immigration to ensure that visitors to Bali are more closely monitored in the future”, said Head of the Bali National Unity and Politics Agency, I Gede Putu Jaya Suartama, when contacted on Tuesday (Aug. 9).

Related to this issue, Suartama added that immigration officers have the authority to look into the Satudarah motorcycle club. Because the members are foreigners, the motorcycle club is not registered with the Bali National Unity and Politics Agency as a community organization in Bali.

“Law No. 17/2013 only protects Indonesian organizations, so it it falls to immigration authorities to look into the matter”, he explained.

Member of Commission I of the Bali House of Representatives, Nyoman Oka Antara, has asked the police to take immediate decisive action. Such chaotic incidents must not be allowed to negatively impact on tourism in Bali.

“This must be handled decisive decisively. The law must be enforced and the violators must be prosecuted according to prevailing laws. There should be neither discrimination nor favoritism given what these people allegedly commited. All people are equal before the law”, he said.

Although it was foreigners who allegedly committed the crime, continued Oka, Indonesian law applies to all regardless of country of origin.

“Once again, I stress that the law is no game. All relevant parites should be vigilant in maintaining the safety and comfort of Bali as a whole”, he added. (kmb32)

City without slums

Quality of settlement needs improving

LONDON - Country music singer LeAnn Rimes says her forthcoming studio album is more spontaneous and organic than her last offering “Spitfire”, describing her new work as “soul-based”.

The Grammy Award winner, who rose to fame aged 13 and is known for hits such as “How Do I Live” and “Can’t Fight The Moonlight”, will put out “Remnants” in October, her first album release on new label RCA UK. “On my last record ... we definitely knew the story we were writing song by song and it was very much in the moment of a lot of heartache and chaos,” Rimes said in an interview in London.

“And this one, this time around, is just coming from a completely different place. And not until we finalised the record did we see this amazing arc that we had written and created and it’s a beautiful record. It’s really soul-based”.

The 33-year-old, who cites gospel and soul as major musical influences growing up, says she turns to her actor husband Eddie Cibrian and step-children for feedback on her work as well as her own “internal cues”.

“Kids are amazing. They will let you know if it sucks and they seem to like it so that’s a good thing,” Rimes said.

“With this record I kept it a secret what it sounded like. My mum heard one song, she still hasn’t heard the album. I’m keeping it very hush hush ... I think that once I’m happy hopefully people will connect with that energy.”

Asked about the international success of female American country stars versus their male counterparts, Rimes said: “We have this other passion. Even though men can bring passion to a song it’s just a different kind of thing.

“I think our songs really talk about real life, heartbreak and love and we are just able to reach people deeply, which is a gift.” (rtr)

DENPASAR - The rapidly increasing urbanzation of Bali has given rise to significantly more slums throughout the city of Denpasar. The population that has grown without the support of space, infrastructure, facilities and utilities.

Thousands Tackle Deadly Madeira Wildfire

MADEIRA - Three people have died in a wildfire which has torn through the Portuguese island of Madeira, prompting a massive emergency response. A thousand people have been evacuated from homes and hotels near the capital Funchal, where three elderly people died in two separate house fires.

Two people have also been seriously injured and another is missing, according to Portuguese newspaper Publico.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of starting the fire, police have said. Steep hills and woodland are making it difficult to tackle the

firesThe National Civil Protection Service has sent 3,300 firefighters to tackle the blaze, along with 23 water-dumping aircraft.

Fire service officials said the steep hills and dense woodland around Funchal made it difficult to reach the flames. City

mayor Paulo Cafofo said it was “impossible” to calculate how many buildings were caught in the blaze, but told Publico that a five-star hotel and spa had been completely consumed.

Madeira, a popular spot for British holidaymakers, has experienced temperatures of more than 35C since Monday.

Strong winds from North Africa have fanned smoke from the blaze, disrupting flights at Madeira Airport. Britons booked to travel from Madeira to Edinburgh and Glasgow

were left stranded for more than 12 hours on Tuesday, after EasyJet and Jet2.com cancelled flights.

An EasyJet spokeswoman said: “Although this is beyond EasyJet’s control, we would like to apologise to affected customers and thank them for their understanding.”

In mainland Portugal a wildfire forced the closure of a major highway near Viseu, while another blaze cut power lines in nearby Agueda. On Tuesday, Portuguese capital Lisbon was hazy as smoke

from fires in the surrounding region drifted into the city.

Fire chiefs said that some of their firefighters have been battling blazes non-stop since Saturday, when temperatures reached 44C.(ap) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
