Monday, November 14, 2016 (L-R) Cast members Ezra Miller, Katherine Waterston, Faith WoodBlagrove, Eddie Redmayne, Allison Sudol and Dan Fogler attend the premiere of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” in Manhattan, New York, U.S., November 10, 2016.

‘Fantastic Beasts’ fuses dark themes with plea for acceptance

NEW YORK - “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, the “Harry Potter” wizarding spinoff movie, had its world premiere on Thursday night, and the cast said they hoped the film would provide both escapist comfort and a message of acceptance in the real world.

The film, the first of five, takes place 70 years before events in the first Harry Potter books and features a cast of new characters with magical powers. Set in 1926, it centers on Newt Scamander, a “magizoologist” who arrives in New York with a case full of strange creatures that quickly escape.

Just like the Harry Potter books and movies that were rich in themes of good and evil, death and family, author J.K. Rowling infuses

the “Fantastic Beasts” story with darker topics of xenophobia and intolerance.

“There are a few really beautiful and pertinent messages in the film ... There is this fear of the other, this fear of what we don’t understand, a need to blame and segregate. And how hate can grow into something that is just overpowering because of that,” actress Alison Sudol, who plays the mind-reading Queenie Goldstein, told reporters on the red

carpet in New York.

Ezra Miller, whose character Credence Barebone is shy and unloved, said the movie has “the comfort and the escapist wonder that she (Rowling) brings” as well as issues “to take back to our world to get to work on.”

Rowling, who wrote the screenplay for the film, said the story was “partly informed by what I saw as a rise of populism around the world.”

“If you have read the (Harry) Potter books you know this period threatened to become very dystopian. You were looking at the rise of a very dark force,” the British author told a news conference ahead of Thursday’s premiere. (rtr)

Anti-Trump protesters march by tens of thousands nationwide

NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s presidential upset win sparked a fourth day of protests across the United States, with tens of thousands of protesters marching and railing against him.

Saturday protests — held in big cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago as well as smaller ones, such as Worcester, Massachusetts, and Iowa City, Iowa — were largely peaceful, although two police officers were slightly injured in protests in Indianapolis.

Demonstrators rallied at New York’s Union Square before taking their cause up Fifth Avenue toward Trump Tower, where they were held back by police barricades. The Republican president-elect was inside his tower apartment, working with aides on the transition to the White House.

Among those railing against him was filmmaker Michael Moore, who tweeted a demand that Trump “step aside.” Fashion designer Noemi Abad, 30, agreed.

“I just can’t have Donald Trump

running this country and teaching our children racism, sexism and bigotry,” she said. “Out of his own mouth he made this division. He needs to go — there’s no place for racism in society in America.”

Trump’s comments — particularly a 2005 recording of him making lewd comments about women — sparked outrage during his campaign. That spilled over into demonstrations following an election that ended with half of U.S. voters choosing the other candidate, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Demonstrators in Indianapolis on Saturday threw rocks at police, slightly injuring two officers, said Police Chief Troy Riggs. Some protesters began chanting threats including “Kill the Police,” and officers moved in to arrest seven demonstrators.

Police briefly fired pepper balls into the crowd during the confrontation. “We believe that we have some instigators that arrived in our city,” trying to start a riot, Riggs said. Rowdy demonstrators marched through downtown Portland, Oregon, for the fourth night Saturday despite calls from the mayor and police chief for calm.

Several hundred people took to the streets and Portland authorities made multiple arrests after protesters threw bottles and other items at officers in riot gear and blocked streets and light rail lines. The exact number of arrests wasn’t immediately available.

This already narrow road is now also hampered by a construction project, making matters even worse.

In response, Regent of Badung, I Nyoman Giri Prasta, said that he will deploy ranks of the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency to be on guard 24 hours a day.

“There will be two shifts to help maintain traffic fluidity” he said.

Previously, the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency, North Kuta Police and the parliament agreed to a short term cross agency collaboration in order to increase the number of people on duty overseeing traffic smoothness – especially during rush hour and on weekends.

The Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency has a technical implementation unit (UPT) of traffic and land transportation to regulate traffic condition in South Kuta, Kuta and North Kuta subdistrict with a total of 60 personnel. (kmb27)

Dengue increases by 200 percent, endemic to 41 villages

AMLAPURA - Erratic summer weather and occasional heavy rains have apparently caused the Aedes aegypti mosquito to proliferate rampantly as cases of dengue have increased by 200 percent this month. Regent of Karangasem, IGA Mas Sumatri, recently announced that 41 villages in Karangasem are now considered to be endemic for dengue.

On Saturday, Karangasem’s first female regent led a massmosquito nest eradication in Ulakan Sqaure, Karangasem. Since October, a total of 3,092 patients have been diagnosed and treated for dengue. “If people’s awareness about the importance of eliminating mosquito breeding sites remains low, we could see a significant increase in the number of dengue patients by year end. So far the number of cases of dengue has increased two fold compared to 2015 when there were only 790 reported cases”, said Sumatri.

Dengue fever caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito is known to be endemic in 41 of the 78 villages in the district. Most of the affected villages are in remote areas like Kubu but residents of villages in mountainous areas such as Pedahan have also been infected, including a young woman who died of dengue last May. Mosquito larvae can lay dormant until weather conditions favor their activation. Presently 86 percent of Karangasem’s villages are considered to be mosquito larvae-free. The government is targeting 95 percent in order to reduce the likelihood of fatalities.

Head of the Bali Health Agency, Ketut Suarjaya, while providing guidance on mosquito nests eradication (PSN) in Karangasem last Saturday, explained that this year there has been a total of 19,000 cases of dengue in Bali, with 56 fatalies, most of which occured in Karangasem. (013)

Tourism down, prices up to IDR 300,000

Menjangan out of synch

SINGARAJA - The price hike to IDR 300,000 for admission for foreigners into the West Bali National Park (TNBB), that was imposed by the central government last year has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of visitors to Menjagan Island. Many people who are involved in the tourism sector in the area object to this increase, given that tourist numbers are already down and because there have been no improvements made to infrastructure to reflect this price hike.

Museum to Yasser Arafat offers facts, leaves open questions

RAMALLAH - The battle for Palestinian statehood consumed Yasser Arafat’s life and a new museum in his name puts the nature of that fight front and centre - the sub-machine gun on his desk, the AK-47 assault rifle in the corner, the pistol at his side.

Twelve years after his death in Paris at the age of 75, the Yasser Arafat Museum opened its doors in Ramallah on Thursday, attempting to flesh out some of the facts behind a divisive figure who remains something of an enigma long after his demise.

Arranged along four corridors over two floors, the museum takes visitors through a potted history of the Palestinian liberation movement: the exile in Tunisia and

Lebanon, the return to the West Bank, the shared Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and the violent first and second uprisings against Israel.

The corridors lead to the inner sanctum of Arafat’s besieged life in the Muqata, the Palestinian headquarters in Ramallah, where he was holed up for nearly three years in a pokey bedroom. Arafat’s body is now buried in the Muqata compound.

While revered by many Palestinians, Arafat was a thorn in the side of several Arab states and a ruthless killer in the eyes of Israelis. The museum largely lauds his legacy, while spending little time on those who stood by and with him, including his wife, Suha, and his successor, Mahmoud Abbas.

Hanging in the simple wardrobe next to the single bed in his hideout are his khaki military jackets and a pile of black-and-white keffiyehs, the chequered scarves he nearly always wore and which remain a symbol of resistance for Palestinians.

On the desk in his office, a pile of papers held down by a submachine gun, a copy of the Koran, and in a guards’ room an AK-47 leaning against the wall. In a separate display case, the ornate revolver he often wore in a holster on his hip.

The museum begins at the start of the 20th century and charts the rise of Palestinian nationalism, the struggle for international recognition, the confrontation with Zionism and with Israel after the state’s

founding in 1948.

Archival photos and videos mark high and low points: handshakes with then-U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; bulldozers knocking down parts of the Muqata, which Arafat barely left during an Israeli siege from 2002-2004; a landmark 1974 address to the U.N. General Assembly.

Palestinian attacks, including the killing of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, the hijacking of airplanes throughout the 1970s and deadly suicide bombings during the second intifada (uprising), are covered in a purely factual way.

Yet while lots of background and history are provided, several elements of Arafat’s life remain a

conundrum. The museum relates that Arafat was born in the Old City of Jerusalem on Aug. 4, 1929, and was later taken to Cairo.

But historians say the evidence suggests he was born in Cairo and brought to Jerusalem at the age of four, when his mother died. Others believe he was born in Gaza, the Palestinian territory on the Mediterranean coast.

And his death, too, remains somewhat mysterious. French doctors say he died of a haemorrhagic stroke on Nov. 11, 2004, around two weeks after coming down with flu-like symptoms. He was flown to France in a military jet after Egyptian and Jordanian doctors failed to identify the health problem. (rtr)

Head of the Pemuteran Tourism Association, I Ketut Sutrawan, explained that the huge jump in the price of admission has directly resulted in fewer tourists visiting Menjagan Island. Many people in the tourism industry object to the price hike, saying that infrastructure should be improved before raising ticket prices.

The pier of Menjangan Island’s Post II is fractured and changing rooms and toilets are sub-standard.

“We have no choice but to follow government rules. Certainly all tourism-supporting infrastructure needs to be equipped with complete facilities such as toilets and landfills. The damaged pier also needs to be repaired.

Many other facilities also need to be

improved if the price of admission is going to be so high. But this has not been done”, said Suartika.

When contacted separately on Saturday (Nov. 12), member of Commission I of the Bali House of Representatives, I Nyoman Tirtawan, said that the doubling of the price of admission to the National Park has not been accompanied by supporting infrastructure. IN fact the price of admission to West Bali National Park is twice that of admission to Mount Bromo although both places are subject to the same Government Regulation (PP) No.12/2014.

Since last year very few tourists have visited the park. In fact, Tirtawan said that there were 4,0000 fewer visi-

BANGLI - Professional blacksmiths in Bangli are increasingly rare as less and less young people

are interested in inheriting this traditional business. Given the huge amount of manufactured metal

tors this year compared to last year.

TNBB’S revenue of about IDR 8billion a year is submitted to the Ministry of Forestry.

“Why is so much money going to the central government if basic infrastructure is not being repaired? Tour guides who normally accompany visitors from Labuan Lalang poert to Menjangan Island have seen a sharp decrease in their income with so few guests, naturally room occupancy rates in the area is also down”, he said.

If an effort to assist those working in the tourism industry here, Tirtawan suggested that concerned people write to the Ministry of Forestry in objection to the price hike and request that the price hike be reconsidered. “Ideally price of admission should be IDR 150,000, which is already quite high. “In essence, we are saying that it should be the same as admission to other national parks given that the legal basis for the pricing is the same.

Once such a letter is officially sent on behalf of the local tourism in-

products such as kitchen utensils sand farming tools that are flooding the market, blacksmiths are pushed to the fringes.

Pande hamlet blacksmith, Kawan, Nyoman Wardana, revealed that over time, the number of Bangli residents that pursue the profession of blacksmith has been decreasing. Wardana and another man from Sidembunut are the only two remaining blacksmiths of the seven that formerly worked in the area.

Wardana explained that young people are reluctant to carry on

this tradition partly because it is hard work, but also because many youngster consider the income generated from this line of work to be unstable, as they must rely on orders, instead of a steady income.

Recently Wardana received some orders for knives and machetes, but rarely does he get orders for agricultural tools like hoes and sickles. “In the past, yes, many farmers ordered hoes and sickles. However, since around 2005- 2006 many farmers started using tractors, so my orders started to decrease. Now, people

dustry, I will approach the ministry for reassessment so that the steep price hike can be reviewed as soon as possible”, he said.

Head of the TNBB, Tedi Sutedi, explained that the rules on admission ticket prices are set forth under Government Regulation No.12/2014 concerning the imposition of admission tickets to conservation areas under the jurisdiction of the Ministry

of Forestry. The TNBB has let all relevant tourism workers know. “Ticket pricing is a basic consideration in the control of visitors and the impact of visitors to the national park as a conservation area. This will be taken as a point of reference for hoteliers and tour operators. The pier infrastructure at Post I and II, the toilets and water flow will be repaired this year” he said. (kmb34)

rarely order new hoes, they just repair the ones they have, because they don’t use them as often” he said.

The increase in the number of manufactured farming tools, that are now available, he explained, also contributes to the reduction in the number of orders that Wardana now receives. Wardana also explained that the only way for him to ensure his survival as a blacksmith is to maintain a very high quality in his products. He only uses the best raw materials so that his products last. (kmb40)

Badung develops its agriculture to become self-sufficient MANGUPURA - In order for Badung to become self-sufficient, tourism, agriculture and other sectors need to collaborate. Everyone in Badung should be able to enjoy the income generated by these sectors. Over the last five years however, the development of tourism in Badung has dominated the landscape at the expense of the agricultural sector.

“We are aligning the growth of the agricultural sector with that of that of the tourism sector so that farmers in Badung can eventually become independent and proud to be part of making Badung self-sufficient” said Regent of Badung, Nyoman Giri Prasta, during a talk show

entitled “Proud to be a Farmer” that was held at the Badung Civic Center on Thursday (Nov. 10).

The local government has allocated part of the 2017 regional budget specifically for the agricultural sector. Also, both technical and managerial methods are being designed to held develop agriculture in Badung.

Giri Prasta said that agriculture in Badung will become contemporary, meaning that modern technologies will be applied allowing for higher quality agricultural products.

Udayana University’s Faculty of Agriculture and other related agencies are also being continuously consulted for the development of

engineering technologies including things like selecting seeds according to soil type. The government of Badung also plans to develop a smart city that will also include applications to agriculture.

“Obviously we will work on combining the agricultural sector and the tourism sector. This involves increasing the quality of agricultural products and also transforming farming areas into eco-based tourism attractions like agro-tourism techno-park (ATT).

That way, farmers can receive more income. Aesthetics and cultural tourism in Bali will also surely not be forgotten”, he concluded.

Australia, U.S. announce refugee resettlement deal

SYDNEY - Australia has reached a resettlement deal with the United States for refugees being held in Papua New Guinea and Nauru after attempting to reach Australia by boat, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Sunday.

IBP/kmb40

The decrease in the number of tourist visitors to Kehen Temple over the last few years, has caused nearly all of the 60 nearby souvenir shops to close.

Tourist visits to Kehen Temple slump

Dozens of souvenir shops decide to close shop

BANGLI - The decrease in the number of tourist visitors to Kehen Temple over the last few years, has caused nearly all of the 60 nearby souvenir shops to close. Only 15 remain open today.

Secretary of the Kehen Temple tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis), Nengah Mustika, admitted on Friday (Nov. 11) that shops on the area of Kehen temple have been slowly closing one by one

since the early 2000’s and that they can no longer expect shop owners to persevere under such conditions.

“We have appealed to shop owners to keep their shops open,

but this request has been ignored as many preffer to close their kioks due to lack of visitors”, said Mustika.

Currently, there is an average 50 to 100 visitors per day to Kehen Temple., most of whom are form Europe. IN the 1980’s and 90’s there were about 200 visitors per day, so all the souvenir shops could survive”, he explained.

Mustika explained that there started to be less visitors to Kehen Temple after the price of admission went up form IDR 10,000 to IDR 30,000 in 2015.

“Since the enforcement of the new admission price, less and less visitors have been coming here” he said. He added that the decline in tourist visits to Kehen Temple started with the Bali

bombings in Kuta.

Many hope that Kehen Temple can again become n attractive destination for tourists and that the government of Bangli can make repairs to the toilet and re-arrange the garden. Pokdarwis only receives 40 percent of the revenue from ticket sales, which is not enough to make such repairs and improvements. (kmb40)

Under Australia’s tough border security laws, asylum seekers intercepted trying to reach the country by boat are sent for processing at detention camps on Papua New Guinea’s Manus island and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Nauru.

Some 1,200 people are in detention, with many held for more than three years. The United Nations and human rights groups have criticised the detentions.

“I can now confirm that the government has reached a further third country resettlement arrangement for refugees presently in the regional processing centres. The agreement is with the United States,” Turnbull told a press conference in Canberra.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to ban Muslims from entering the United States and championed anti-immigration policies, raising uncertainty about the resettlement deal. Many of the detainees come for Afghanistan and Iraq.

Amnesty International said it was extremely concerned about the lack of information around the timeline and the number of refugees to be processed. No timeline was given for the process.

“Amnesty International has seen first hand the horrific abuse that is being inflicted on people in Nauru and on Manus island, so we are pleased that for those who may be resettled in the U.S. the abuse will come to an end...,” said Dr Graham Thom, Refugee Coordinator at Amnesty International Australia.

Abdul Aziz, 24, who has spent more than three years on Manus Island after fleeing his home in Sudan in 2013, was very happy.

“All the refugees were smiling and hugging each other. This nightmare is going to end finally, but the main question is when and how and how we get out of here,” he told Reuters.

The agreement, to be administered with the U.N. High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), is available only to those currently in the processing centres and will not be repeated.

Turnbull would not say how many refugees would be resettled in the United States, but that women, children and families would be prioritised. Those who have had refugee applications rejected should return to their countries, he said. (rtr)

Splendor of ten underwater statues at Putri Menjangan

SINGARAJA - Waters in the area of Putri Menjangan, located in Pejarakan village, Gerokgak, has a wealth of mangrove forests and undersea coral reef that are considered a priceless asset to both local and foreign divers. Menjangan Island conservation forum (FKPM) showed their concern for the coral reef here by submerging ten statues in the waters of Putri Menjangan to

serve as support for the coral.

For the occasion of national Heroes Day, some divers submerged more statues and conducted a flag raising ceremony. Founding board member of FPMK, Abdul Hari explained that the idea to submerge statue parts was inspired by the story of Putri Menjangan that is often staged in Calonarang performances, with the message of preserving the

natural environment. “We have gradually submerged ten statuee, one of Putri Menjangan, two statues of mermaids. two statues of ladies, two commanders, two statues of warriors and a grandfather-shaped statue. These statues tell a story of a princess being advised to always care for nature and its contents”, said Hari on Friday (Nov. 11).

Many people were involved in

the lowering of the statues into the 120 cm high, 1.3 quintal weight into a depth of 15 meters below sea level. Also, 30 activists from FKPM, the Biosphere Foundation, American NGO representatives as well as students from Malang’s Brawijaya University Malang contributed to Putri Menjagan conservation efforts, who all contributed to the financing of the IDR

10 million statue.

“Once the statue has been submerged, it will become overgrown with coral within three months.

We also hope that the underwater statue can become a tourist destination attracting divers to the area of Putri Menjagan. We also planted mangroves as a form of direct action environmental preservation”, he said. (kmb34)

Colombia’s FARC lead negotiator Ivan Marquez (C) and Colombia’s lead government negotiator Humberto de la Calle shake hands while Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez looks on, after signing a new peace deal to end their 52-year war in Havana, Cuba, November 12, 2016.

HAVANA - Colombia’s government and the Marxist FARC rebels said on Saturday they agreed on a revised peace deal to end a 52-year war, six weeks after the original was narrowly rejected in a referendum amid objections it was too favorable to the rebels.

The government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which have been holding talks in Havana for four years, said they had incorporated proposals from the opposition, religious leaders and others.

President Juan Manuel Santos hopes to unite the divided nation behind the new deal after the peace process was endangered by its rejection in the October plebiscite.

Colombian voters were deeply split, with many worried the FARC would not be punished for crimes and others hopeful the deal would cement an end to violence.

“We call upon all Colombia

and the international community... to back this new accord and its quick implementation so as to leave the tragedy of war in the past,” the two sides said in a statement. “Peace cannot wait anymore.”

Copies of the new accord will be made public from Sunday. The government has not addressed holding a second plebiscite to approve the deal, though some opposition figures were already demanding one via Twitter.

The new deal will not modify a controversial part of the accord that gives the FARC 10 congressional seats through 2026 or prevent rebel leaders from eventually being elected to political posts.

However, the accord will not be integrated into Colombia’s constitution and the FARC will be required to present a complete inventory of its assets, which are destined for victim compensa-

tion, Santos said in a televised address.

The modified accord also takes foreign magistrates off special peace tribunals, although there will be foreign observers, and stipulates the FARC must turn in exhaustive information about its involvement in the drug trade.

The new deal limits the work of the special tribunals to 10 years and requires any investigations be opened within the first two years.

A key concern among those who voted “no” on the initial deal is that convicted rebels will not serve jail time and will instead remove land mines and do other reparations work.

It seemed unlikely modifications would include prison time, but Santos said the deal would ensure FARC fighters sentenced by the special court will be restricted to certain areas, living arrangements and work hours. (rtr)

BUSINESS Britain’s Brexit firebrand Farage meets Trump in New York

NEW YORK - Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage visited Donald Trump at his home on Saturday, after suggesting he could act as a go-between to help smooth British relations with U.S. president-elect. Prime Minister Theresa May is not expected to meet with the incoming leader until early next year and Farage has suggested her criticisms of Trump in the early days of the campaign could damage ties with Washington.

“We’re just tourists!” Farage, head of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), told reporters as he waited for an elevator in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City.

He later tweeted a photograph of himself with Trump standing in front of a pair of golden doors and smiling broadly, the presidentelect giving the camera a thumbs-up. “It was a great honor to spend time with @realDonaldTrump,” Farage said on Twitter. “He was relaxed and full of good ideas. I’m confident he will be a good President.”

Trump’s election campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said: “I think they enjoy each other’s company, and they actually had a chance to talk about freedom and winning and what this all means for the world.”

In a separate photograph posted on Twitter, UKIP donor Arron Banks, Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam, and Gerry Gunster, an American whose advocacy firm worked on the Brexit campaign, were also pictured with Trump and Farage.

May - who spoke to Trump by phone on Thursday - and her predecessor David Cameron last year described Trump as “divisive” and “wrong” over his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States. At that time he was not considered likely to win the presidency.

While the British government has congratulated Trump on his election, the head of the opposition, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said he should “grow up” on the immigration issue and recognise that the U.S. economy depends on migrant workers.

“The treatment of Mexico by the United States just as much as its absurd and abusive language towards Muslims is something that has to be challenged and should be challenged,” Corbyn, whose wife is Mexican, told the BBC on Sunday.

“IRRELEVANCE”.

UKIP, which has only one member of parliament in London, said Farage and Trump spent more than an hour discussing Trump’s victory, global politics and Brexit.

A party official has suggested Farage be the next ambassador to the United States but British media reported May’s office rejected any the idea of any involvement by Farage, citing unnamed sources describing him as an “irrelevance”.

A day after Trump’s election victory, Farage called on the real estate mogul to reverse “loathsome” Barack Obama’s policy by making Britain his top priority.

Farage said he had been pleased at Trump’s “very positive reaction” to the idea that a bust of former British prime minister Winston Churchill be put back in the Oval Office.

He has also joked about sexual assault allegations against Trump, urging him to “schmooze” May but not touch her. He said he could attend any meeting to be the “responsible adult to make sure everything is OK.” Farage, who spoke at a Trump rally during the election campaign, had predicted the former reality TV host would tap into the same dissatisfaction among voters that led to Britain deciding on June 23 to leave the European Union.

Trump made repeated references to Brexit during his campaign, saying it had highlighted the desire for change among voters frustrated with traditional politics.(rtr)

NEW DELHI - Anger intensified in India on Saturday as banks struggled to dispense cash following the government’s decision to withdraw large denomination notes in an attempt to uncover billions of dollars in undeclared wealth. Tempers frayed as hundreds of thousands of people queued for hours outside banks for a third day to swap 500 and 1,000 rupee bank notes after the notes were abolished earlier in the week.

The banned bills made up more than 80 percent of the currency in circulation, leaving millions of people without cash and threatening to bring much of the cash-driven economy to a halt.

“There’s chaos everywhere,” said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a rival of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the premier of wreaking havoc on poor and working Indians while the wealthy found ways to skirt the new rules.

Customers argued and banged the glass doors at a Standard Chartered branch in southern Delhi after security guards blocked the entrance, saying there were too many people inside already. Others turned on Modi, criticising his ongoing visit to Japan while ordinary people suffered at home.

“He is taking bullet train rides in Japan and here you have old people knocking on bank doors for cash,” said Prabhat Kumar, a college student who said he had spent six hours in the queue. “He has made a terrible mistake.” Modi said he would

pursue the fight against corruption and tax dodgers even if it meant scanning decades-old records.

“If unaccounted money is found out during the current clean up drive, accounts of tax evaders dating back to the country’s independence in 1947 will be checked. If required I will hire people for this task,” Modi told the Indian community in Kobe.

He said he recognised people faced difficulties as the transition to the new series of bank notes takes place but was confident they would stand by the decision as part of the war against corruption and to rid India of endemic poverty.

TRADERS STRUGGLE AS CASH CRUNCH BITES Nearly half of India’s 202,000 ATMs were shut on Friday and those that operated quickly ran out of the new notes as scores of people descended upon them. Finance minister Arun Jaitley said ATMs had not been adjusted to handle new currency notes prior to the announcement in

order to keep it under wraps. “Recalibration of ATMs will be completed within two weeks,” he added.

Referring to inconvenience caused to public, Jaitley said there could be some, short-term disruptive cost to the economy due to the demonetisation drive but this would prove positive in the longer term.

Traders in Delhi’s vegetable market said they were considering shutting down the market as cash was running out and banks were dispensing a limited amount.

“We might have to close down until the situation stabilises,” said Metharam Kriplani, president of the Chambers of Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Traders. People in Mumbai said grocers were charging 10 times the price of salt in return for accepting the old cash notes.

The government has asked people to exchange the old 500 and 1,000 rupees notes by Dec. 30. The central bank said there was enough cash available with banks and that it had made arrangements to deliver the new bank notes across the country.

Modi’s move was aimed at shrinking the “black economy”, the term widely used to describe transactions that take place outside formal channels and which could be as high as 20 percent of gross domestic product, according to investment firm Ambit.(rtr)

JAKARTA - Immigration personnel at the SoekarnoHatta International Airport (SHIA) debarred two Moroccan women, identified as FZE (22) and SEM (21), from entering Indonesia on Saturday (Nov. 12).

“Both (the women) failed to show enough evidence of they intended to bear their cost of living,” head of public relations and general affairs of the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, Heru Santoso, stated in a press release received here on Saturday.

The two women hailing from Morocco who arrived on board the Emirates Airlines flight EK-356 were being questioned by immigration officials about immigration related documents.

Heru further noted that both had claimed to have come as tourists for a three weeks stay in Indonesia but could not show enough evidence about the cost of living.

Both also could not provide clear information as to what was their destination after having landed in Indonesia. “(The women) are allegedly involved in a prostitution ring,” Heru disclosed.(ant)

Four children injured in suspected militant attack on Indonesia church

JAKARTA - Indonesian authorities on Sunday arrested a suspected militant who threw an explosive device at a church in the eastern island of Borneo and injured four children. Police in East Kalimantan province said the attacker had been imprisoned on terrorism charges in the past.

“A suspected low-impact bomb was thrown...Four children were injured and four motorcycles were damaged,” East Kalimantan police spokesman Fajar Setiawan said, adding police were looking into links with radical networks.

The attack took place at 10am in the parking lot of Oikumene church

in the town of Samarinda. Indonesia has seen a string of Islamic State-linked attacks this year, the biggest of which was a gun and bomb assault in the capital Jakarta that killed four people.

Authorities are concerned about a resurgence in radicalism and say there are hundreds of Islamic State

sympathizers in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation. President Joko Widodo said he had ordered an investigation into the attack.

“I have ordered the police chief to take firm action and thoroughly investigate the perpetrator,” Widodo said in a statement.(rtr) The police and bomb squad are inspecting the crime scene where the explosion happen in Samarinda, East Borneo.

President Jokowi promises to build inward infrastructure

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has said while Indonesia has been focusing on physical infrastructure, the government will also work towards ensuring that the citizenry is mentally and emotionally strong. He called it “inward infrastructure,” vis-a-vis the physical infrastructure.

“Currently, we are focusing on physical development, but the inward infrastructure is also important (to build),” the president stated before thousands of people at a prayer event in Ancol, North Jakarta, on Saturday.

The President admitted that such “inward infrastructure” develop-

ment is required as a foundation for developing sound and accomplished human resources in the country. Therefore, he appreciated all those who have been pursuing the goal of national character while the government was focusing on improving the physical infrastructure.

He reiterated the importance of physical infrastructure development, being carried out as part of the five-year program of the government of Joko Widodo and M. Jusuf Kalla (Jokowi-JK). “ I want to say that our focus is now on physical development,” reminded the president.

Under the leadership of Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla, Indonesia has switched from the Java-centric development pattern and shifted focus a more even development across Indonesia. The objective is to unite the Indonesian nation that is made up of thousands of islands, from Sabang to Merauke.

“We have built toll roads from Lampung to Aceh, and work has been going on for two years. All this development should not remain confined to in Java but must be pursued outside Java. Such development needs to take place from Balikpapan to Samarinda and from Manado to Bitung. Thank God that

everything has been running well.

Now, people should wait for the completion of these projects,” he counselled.

The infrastructure development achieved by the government is now expected to bring down the cost of transportation, and the president hopes that as a consequence, commodity prices will be more affordable in the country. “The physical infrastructure is indeed expected to lead to cheaper transportation costs,” he explained.

On the occasion, the President also expressed his gratitude to the scholars, especially of the National Awakening Party (PKB), which has

initiated the program of “Nusantara Mengaji” or Quran recitation initiatives throughout Indonesia. It is seen as being in line with the vision of the Indonesian government that wants to build a model Indonesian citizen.

Several cabinet ministers attended the event, including Minister/State Secretary Pratikno; Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Imam Nahrawi; and Manpower Minister Hanif Dhakiri, who hails from the PKB. PKB General Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar also attended the event, which was a national friendly gathering of ulemas and the people.(rtr)

Sarkozy courts “silent majority” in French presidential race

PARIS - Hours after Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory, a close political ally of French presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy hailed the moment as “a beautiful day”. While the result aroused anxiety among much of Europe’s political mainstream, French legislator Philippe Meunier drew cheers as he warmed up a crowd of conservative faithful before Sarkozy arrived for a rally near the city of Lyon.

“I was woken up this morning to good news from the United States and salute the determination of Americans who were faced with those who lecture us about what to think, and for whom to vote,” he said. At the time, western leaders were offering to work with Trump but making clear their apprehension over his campaign threats on issues ranging from NATO solidarity to the Iran nuclear deal and climate change.

But with France holding its own presidential election next spring,

the Sarkozy camp appears to have no such fears. Sarkozy, who did not support Trump’s campaign, said the U.S. election result was a rejection of “conformist thinking”. The conservative is pursuing a search for votes that has taken him fishing in the waters of the far-right National Front party.

Meunier told Wednesday’s rally that the U.S. result exposed a frustration voters felt toward an establishment that was entrenched across the West, including in France.

He set the stage for Sarkozy,

who railed against an elite in France that he said had turned a deaf ear to citizens under socialist President Francois Hollande.

Sarkozy, who as president between 2007-2012 was himself part of that elite, said he was listening, less than two weeks before a primary contest for the centre-right presidential ticket.

Against the backdrop of a wave of bloody Islamist militant attacks in France and Europe’s immigration crisis, the 61-yearold promises to get tough on immigration, defend France’s secular values and revive national pride. “There is an anger among the people. They are living in a reality which is no longer recognised by many politicians,” Sarkozy said a day later in a television interview.

“Someone who asks the

question about immigration is not feeble. Someone who says France needs its borders is not a nationalist. And someone who expresses his anger at the ballot box is not a populist.”

POPULIST VOTE

Beyond winning the primary contest, Sarkozy wants to ensure that Marine Le Pen, leader of the euro-sceptic, anti-establishment National Front, does not pull off a Trump-style win in the 2017 presidential election. Opinion polls show Le Pen performing strongly in the first round, backed by disenchanted voters who feel ignored by Paris.

In campaign speeches, Sarkozy vows to ban the Islamic burkini swimsuit, has ruled out special school lunches for Muslim children - saying they should fill up on a double portion of chips when pork is on the menu - and told migrants gaining citizenship that their ancestors were Gauls.

Nicolas Sarkozy, former French President and candidate for the French conservative presidential primary, attends a rally as he campaigns in Meyzieu, near Lyon, France, November 9, 2016.

The gathering came after a news conference Saturday in which Mayor Charlie Hayes and Police Chief Mike Marshman urged restraint after several days of violent marches that damaged property and left one person shot.

Friday night, police used flash-bang grenades to disperse a crowd of hundreds in the downtown area. Seventeen people were arrested and one man was shot and suffered non-life-threatening injuries in what police described as a confrontation with gang members. Two people were arrested on attempted murder charges.

In Los Angeles, an estimated 8,000 people marched through downtown streets Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump’s hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women. Jennifer Cruz, 18, of Ventura, California, carried a sign that asked: “Legalize weed but not my Mom?” — a reference to Californians’ Tuesday passage of a measure legalizing recreational marijuana use.

Cruz said her parents have

mannered former prime minister Alain Juppe, calls Sarkozy’s campaign strategy “suicidal”.

Sarkozy says Juppe would be too cautious on reforms.

Sarkozy is favourite among Republican party supporters to win the primary votes on Nov. 20 and 27. However, these are open to all centre-right parties; anyone who pays two euros ($2.17) and says they adhere to the centreright’s values can vote.

A Nov. 3 poll by Elabe of centrist and conservative voters showed Juppe with 39 percent backing in the opening round, with Sarkozy trailing 12 points behind. It then showed Juppe romping home in the primary run-off, and a number of polls suggest Sarkozy’s strategy has alienated middle-ground voters.

But after Britain voted to leave the European Union and Trump defied pollsters to win the White House, Sarkozy and his allies say he is reading the mood of voters right. (rtr)

been in the United States illegally for 30 years, although her mother has spent years seeking citizenship. She called the possibility of their deportation terrifying.

Meanwhile, several dozen Trump supporters gathered at his vandalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to urge the protesters to give him a chance. One person held a cross that read “All lives matter to me.” In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. Evening marches disrupted traffic in Miami and Atlanta.

Trump supporter Nicolas Quirico was traveling from South Beach to Miami. His car was among hundreds stopped when protesters blocked Interstate 395. “Trump will be our president. There is no way around that, and the sooner people grasp that, the better off we will be,” he said.

“There is a difference between a peaceful protest and standing in a major highway backing up traffic for 5 miles. This is wrong.” Protests also were held in Detroit; Minneapolis; Kansas City, Missouri; Olympia, Washington, Iowa City and more. (ap)

This temple, one of the oldest on Bali, has its origins in the great 14th- and 15th-century Javanese Majapahit Empire when Hinduism was first introduced to Bali. The massive statues of Batara Bayu and Garuda guard the split gateway. On the imposing facade is a pantheon of carved demons and deities, including Yama and Indra. Heavily damaged in the 1917 quake, the earliest, nowrestored buildings are in the back. Look for the terra-cotta statues. (IBP/net)

In a non-title fight scheduled for 10 rounds, Garcia, stopped Vargas in the seventh round Saturday night at Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Afterward, Garcia climbed through the ropes and stood at the edge of the ring, yelling and pointing at Thurman, who was below him ringside at the television broadcast table. The two then stood toe-to-toe in the ring.

“I just had to tell Keith he’s next,” Garcia said. “I’m gonna whoop him. There’s not much more to say. He got what he asked for and now he’s going to face a real big dog.”

After dominating nearly every round, Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), who was barely hit throughout the night, pinned Vargas (25-3-1) against the ropes late in the seventh round and landed a few power shots, which led referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight.

Garcia, wearing tiger-striped trunks, dropped Vargas to the canvas in the second round with a big right hook after ducking under a punch attempt. Vargas barely made it to his feet before Rosato counted to 10 just before the bell sounded to end the round.

“It was just a well-timed shot,” Garcia said.

Garcia landed power punches in every round. A powerful combination nearly ended the fight late in the fourth round, but Vargas was again saved by the bell.

“I felt a little rusty,” said Garcia, who last fought in January when he defeated Robert Guerrero to win the WBC title. “But I started putting my punches together and came out victorious.

Next up is the biggest fight of his career.

Garcia and Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) will unify their belts March 4, 2017, at a location still to be determined.

“They said that he wanted a tune-up,” Thurman said.

“Now he’s ready to come see me.” (ap)

France’s Caroline Garcia plays a shot to Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova.

STRASBOURG - Caroline Garcia stunned Petra Kvitova 7-6(6) 6-3 to pull France level at 1-1 with champions Czech Republic in the Fed Cup final after Karolina Pliskova won an epic first singles earlier on Saturday.

Garcia produced an aggressive performance to down Kvitova and the Czech threatened a comeback in the second set but the Frenchwoman was too hot and closed it out on her second match point.

World number six Pliskova had overcome Kristina Mladenovic’s stubborn resistance to put the visitors ahead with a thrilling 6-3 4-6 16-14 win.

Mladenovic will take on double Wimbledon champion Kvitova while world number 23 Garcia will play Pliskova in Sunday’s reverse singles as the Czech look to claim

a fifth title in six years.

After surrendering the first set in a tiebreak, world number 11 Kvitova fell further behind as she trailed 4-1 in the second set.

She did close the gap to 4-3 before Garcia held her nerve to break again and wrap up victory with a forehand winner.

The highlight of the show, however, was earlier.

In one of the competition’s finest rubbers, U.S. Open finalist Pliskova wore down Mladenovic in a nail-biting third set which was the longest ever played in a Fed Cup final.

Pliskova appeared to be cruising towards victory after breezing through the first set but then lost her focus in the second to allow Mladenovic back in the contest.

The Czech served for the match

at 5-3 in the decider but lost her composure, Mladenovic breaking back with a forehand winner before levelling for 5-5.

The world number six earned two match points on Mladenovic’s serve while leading 9-8, but the Frenchwoman served an ace on the first while Pliskova’s forehand flew wide on the second.

Play was interrupted as the Frenchwoman had her left thigh strapped by the trainer before captain Amelie Mauresmo took over the massaging duties at each change of ends.

Pliskova saved a break point at 10-10 but sent a backhand long to concede what had appeared a decisive break in the 23rd game.

Yet she broke back immediately with Mladenovic serving for the match. (rtr)

Sp rt Aduriz becomes Spain’s oldest scorer in Macedonia rout

BARCELONA - Aritz Aduriz became the oldest man to score for Spain in an international, netting the final goal in their 4-0 victory over Macedonia in the World Cup qualifying Group G match on Saturday.

At 35 years and 275 days, the Athletic Bilbao striker was 50 days older than the previous record holder Jose Maria Pena, who had set the mark in 1930 when scoring against Portugal.

Spain had to overcome resistance from a dogged Macedonia

side before running out easy winners with a strong second-half display to remain top of the group.

An own goal by Darko Velkovski broke the deadlock at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium in Granada in the 34th minute after Julen Lopetegui’s side survived a

couple of early scares, and Vitolo doubled the lead in the 63rd.

Nacho Monreal and substitute Aduriz struck in the space of a minute late on to turn what at times was a testing encounter game into a thrashing.

Spain top the group on 10 points, level with second-placed Italy, who won 4-0 at Liechtenstein on Saturday. Macedonia’s preparations were hit right before the game as goalkeeper Igor Aleksovski got injured in the warm up.

He was replaced by Stole Dimitrievski, although it was his opposite number David de Gea who made the first intervention, repelling a close range header from Daniel Mojsov. Spain were let off the hook again in the first half when Genoa forward Goran Pandev glanced a header wide, although the home side monopolied possession and soon settled into the game.

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata was thwarted twice by Dimitrievski and David Silva had a goalbound shot headed off the line.

Spain owed their breakthrough to a mishap from Velkovski, who tried to glance Dani Carvajal’s cross over the bar but instead nodded past Dimitrievski and into the top corner of his own net.

Spain defender Marc Bartra nearly gifted an equaliser away at the start of the second half with a misplaced pass to Enis Bardhi but made amends by blocking the midfielder’s shot.

Julen Lopetegui’s side tightened their grip on the game when Vitolo arrived at the far post to head in from close range, aided by sloppy goalkeeping from Dimitrievski.

That effectively signalled the end of Macedonia’s resistance, and Monreal and Aduriz showed no remorse.

The Arsenal defender curled Carvajal’s cutback into the bottom corner in the 84th minute and a moment later Aduriz grabbed the fourth, turning in Silva’s low cross from close range. (rtr)

Brozovic double gives Croatia 2-0 win over Iceland

ZAGREB - Croatia stayed on course to reach the 2018 World Cup after two superb strikes by midfielder Marcelo Brozovic gave them a 2-0 home win over Iceland in a Group I qualifier played behind closed doors in Zagreb on Saturday.

The result left the Croatians, who had Ivan Perisic sent off in the 93rd minute, top of the group with 10 points from four games, three more than Iceland who missed several clear-cut chances at the Maksimir stadium.

Serving a crowd ban after their fans committed a series of racist offences in Euro 2016 qualifying,

Croatia were fortunate not to fall behind after Johan Gudmundsson and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson came close in the opening 12 minutes.

With instructions from both benches echoing round the empty ground, Brozovic fired the home side ahead in the 15th minute with a fierce shot with his weaker left foot from 20 metres.

Iceland captain Aron Gunnarsson had a shot blocked after a solo run before visiting keeper Hannes Halldorsson parried an Ivan Perisic effort shortly before halftime.

Bodvarsson squandered Iceland’s best chance on the hour, slicing his shot wide from five

metres after a flowing move down the right carved open the home’s team defence.

Croatia playmaker Luka Modric, who came on as a halftime substitute for Real Madrid team mate Mateo Kovacic, saw a longrange effort parried by Halldorsson as the visitors started to run out of steam on a difficult pitch.

Brozovic sealed Croatia’s win at the start of stoppage time, hitting the bottom left corner with another fine effort from outside the penalty box which left Halldorsson clutching thin air. Perisic received his red card for a reckless challenge in the final moments. (rtr)

Wales’ Gareth Bale sustains an injury

We’re so disappointed, says Bale after Wales draw

Wales were desperately unhappy to concede a late goal in Cardiff on Saturday, said talisman Gareth Bale after the home team were held 1-1 by Serbia in World Cup qualifying. The draw left Euro 2016 semi-finalists Wales third in Group D with six points from four games, four behind leaders Ireland and two adrift of second-placed Serbia.

It was the third time Chris Coleman’s side had squandered a lead in the campaign, having been held to a 1-1 home draw by Georgia and a 2-2 draw in Austria.

“We are so disappointed at the moment. We played great in the first half but then faded,” said Bale who fired his team in front on the half-hour and struck the woodwork moments before Serbia’s equaliser.

“It’s one of those things, you go so close at one end and then they go up and score,” the Real Madrid forward told the BBC. “It’s two points lost. We believe we can still do it, we just need to

keep working hard.” Midfielder Joe Ledley said: “We are proud of our performance. It’s Ireland away next and that’s a must-win.”

Bale hit the post in the 85th minute and Serbia levelled 45 seconds later when Aleksandar Mitrovic continued his fine run of form with a well-taken header.

Visiting captain Branislav Ivanovic said his side were pleased with the outcome.

“It’s a very important goal for us,” said the Chelsea defender. “We gave a lot of energy and we can be more than happy with a point.

“Wales are very difficult to play, very strong on the counter attack and they scored an early goal.

When you miss the chance to kill the game with a second goal it happens so often that you concede.”

Serbia’s next game is against second from bottom Georgia on March 24 when Wales visit Ireland and fourth-placed Austria host Moldova. (rtr)

Sp rt Aduriz becomes Spain’s oldest scorer in Macedonia rout

BARCELONA - Aritz Aduriz became the oldest man to score for Spain in an international, netting the final goal in their 4-0 victory over Macedonia in the World Cup qualifying Group G match on Saturday.

At 35 years and 275 days, the Athletic Bilbao striker was 50 days older than the previous record holder Jose Maria Pena, who had set the mark in 1930 when scoring against Portugal.

Spain had to overcome resistance from a dogged Macedonia

side before running out easy winners with a strong second-half display to remain top of the group.

An own goal by Darko Velkovski broke the deadlock at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium in Granada in the 34th minute after Julen Lopetegui’s side survived a

couple of early scares, and Vitolo doubled the lead in the 63rd.

Nacho Monreal and substitute Aduriz struck in the space of a minute late on to turn what at times was a testing encounter game into a thrashing.

Spain top the group on 10 points, level with second-placed Italy, who won 4-0 at Liechtenstein on Saturday. Macedonia’s preparations were hit right before the game as goalkeeper Igor Aleksovski got injured in the warm up.

He was replaced by Stole Dimitrievski, although it was his opposite number David de Gea who made the first intervention, repelling a close range header from Daniel Mojsov. Spain were let off the hook again in the first half when Genoa forward Goran Pandev glanced a header wide, although the home side monopolied possession and soon settled into the game.

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata was thwarted twice by Dimitrievski and David Silva had a goalbound shot headed off the line.

Spain owed their breakthrough to a mishap from Velkovski, who tried to glance Dani Carvajal’s cross over the bar but instead nodded past Dimitrievski and into the top corner of his own net.

Spain defender Marc Bartra nearly gifted an equaliser away at the start of the second half with a misplaced pass to Enis Bardhi but made amends by blocking the midfielder’s shot.

Julen Lopetegui’s side tightened their grip on the game when Vitolo arrived at the far post to head in from close range, aided by sloppy goalkeeping from Dimitrievski.

That effectively signalled the end of Macedonia’s resistance, and Monreal and Aduriz showed no remorse.

The Arsenal defender curled Carvajal’s cutback into the bottom corner in the 84th minute and a moment later Aduriz grabbed the fourth, turning in Silva’s low cross from close range. (rtr)

Brozovic double gives Croatia 2-0 win over Iceland

ZAGREB - Croatia stayed on course to reach the 2018 World Cup after two superb strikes by midfielder Marcelo Brozovic gave them a 2-0 home win over Iceland in a Group I qualifier played behind closed doors in Zagreb on Saturday.

The result left the Croatians, who had Ivan Perisic sent off in the 93rd minute, top of the group with 10 points from four games, three more than Iceland who missed several clear-cut chances at the Maksimir stadium.

Danny Garcia stops Samuel Vargas in seventh round

PHILADELPHIA - The WBC welterweight champion vowed not to overlook Samuel Vargas with a major matchup against WBA champion Keith Thurman looming in March, and he didn’t in front of his hometown crowd.

Maospahit Temple

DENPASAR - Maospahit Temple is an important temple for its a unique and archaeologically, located in a small alley in the middle of the city off Jl. Sutomo. Enter through a door in the alley. This temple, one of the oldest on Bali, has its origins in the great 14th- and 15th-century Javanese Majapahit Empire when Hinduism was first introduced to Bali. The massive statues of Batara Bayu and Garuda guard the split gateway. On the imposing facade is a pantheon of carved demons and deities, including Yama and Indra. Heavily damaged in the 1917 quake, the earliest, nowrestored buildings are in the back. Look for the terra-cotta statues. (IBP/net)

In a non-title fight scheduled for 10 rounds, Garcia, stopped Vargas in the seventh round Saturday night at Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Afterward, Garcia climbed through the ropes and stood at the edge of the ring, yelling and pointing at Thurman, who was below him ringside at the television broadcast table. The two then stood toe-to-toe in the ring.

“I just had to tell Keith he’s next,” Garcia said. “I’m gonna whoop him. There’s not much more to say. He got what he asked for and now he’s going to face a real big dog.”

After dominating nearly every round, Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), who was barely hit throughout the night, pinned Vargas (25-3-1) against the ropes late in the seventh round and landed a few power shots, which led referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight.

Garcia, wearing tiger-striped trunks, dropped Vargas to the canvas in the second round with a big right hook after ducking under a punch attempt. Vargas barely made it to his feet before Rosato counted to 10 just before the bell sounded to end the round.

“It was just a well-timed shot,” Garcia said.

Garcia landed power punches in every round. A powerful combination nearly ended the fight late in the fourth round, but Vargas was again saved by the bell.

“I felt a little rusty,” said Garcia, who last fought in January when he defeated Robert Guerrero to win the WBC title. “But I started putting my punches together and came out victorious.

Next up is the biggest fight of his career.

Garcia and Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) will unify their belts March 4, 2017, at a location still to be determined.

“They said that he wanted a tune-up,” Thurman said.

“Now he’s ready to come see me.” (ap)

France’s Caroline Garcia plays a shot to Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova.

STRASBOURG - Caroline Garcia stunned Petra Kvitova 7-6(6) 6-3 to pull France level at 1-1 with champions Czech Republic in the Fed Cup final after Karolina Pliskova won an epic first singles earlier on Saturday.

Garcia produced an aggressive performance to down Kvitova and the Czech threatened a comeback in the second set but the Frenchwoman was too hot and closed it out on her second match point.

World number six Pliskova had overcome Kristina Mladenovic’s stubborn resistance to put the visitors ahead with a thrilling 6-3 4-6 16-14 win.

Mladenovic will take on double Wimbledon champion Kvitova while world number 23 Garcia will play Pliskova in Sunday’s reverse singles as the Czech look to claim

a fifth title in six years.

After surrendering the first set in a tiebreak, world number 11 Kvitova fell further behind as she trailed 4-1 in the second set.

She did close the gap to 4-3 before Garcia held her nerve to break again and wrap up victory with a forehand winner.

The highlight of the show, however, was earlier.

In one of the competition’s finest rubbers, U.S. Open finalist Pliskova wore down Mladenovic in a nail-biting third set which was the longest ever played in a Fed Cup final.

Pliskova appeared to be cruising towards victory after breezing through the first set but then lost her focus in the second to allow Mladenovic back in the contest.

The Czech served for the match

at 5-3 in the decider but lost her composure, Mladenovic breaking back with a forehand winner before levelling for 5-5.

The world number six earned two match points on Mladenovic’s serve while leading 9-8, but the Frenchwoman served an ace on the first while Pliskova’s forehand flew wide on the second.

Play was interrupted as the Frenchwoman had her left thigh strapped by the trainer before captain Amelie Mauresmo took over the massaging duties at each change of ends.

Pliskova saved a break point at 10-10 but sent a backhand long to concede what had appeared a decisive break in the 23rd game.

Yet she broke back immediately with Mladenovic serving for the match. (rtr)

Sarkozy courts “silent majority” in French presidential race

PARIS - Hours after Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory, a close political ally of French presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy hailed the moment as “a beautiful day”. While the result aroused anxiety among much of Europe’s political mainstream, French legislator Philippe Meunier drew cheers as he warmed up a crowd of conservative faithful before Sarkozy arrived for a rally near the city of Lyon.

“I was woken up this morning to good news from the United States and salute the determination of Americans who were faced with those who lecture us about what to think, and for whom to vote,” he said. At the time, western leaders were offering to work with Trump but making clear their apprehension over his campaign threats on issues ranging from NATO solidarity to the Iran nuclear deal and climate change.

But with France holding its own presidential election next spring,

the Sarkozy camp appears to have no such fears. Sarkozy, who did not support Trump’s campaign, said the U.S. election result was a rejection of “conformist thinking”. The conservative is pursuing a search for votes that has taken him fishing in the waters of the far-right National Front party.

Meunier told Wednesday’s rally that the U.S. result exposed a frustration voters felt toward an establishment that was entrenched across the West, including in France.

He set the stage for Sarkozy,

who railed against an elite in France that he said had turned a deaf ear to citizens under socialist President Francois Hollande.

Sarkozy, who as president between 2007-2012 was himself part of that elite, said he was listening, less than two weeks before a primary contest for the centre-right presidential ticket.

Against the backdrop of a wave of bloody Islamist militant attacks in France and Europe’s immigration crisis, the 61-yearold promises to get tough on immigration, defend France’s secular values and revive national pride. “There is an anger among the people. They are living in a reality which is no longer recognised by many politicians,” Sarkozy said a day later in a television interview.

“Someone who asks the

question about immigration is not feeble. Someone who says France needs its borders is not a nationalist. And someone who expresses his anger at the ballot box is not a populist.”

POPULIST VOTE

Beyond winning the primary contest, Sarkozy wants to ensure that Marine Le Pen, leader of the euro-sceptic, anti-establishment National Front, does not pull off a Trump-style win in the 2017 presidential election. Opinion polls show Le Pen performing strongly in the first round, backed by disenchanted voters who feel ignored by Paris.

In campaign speeches, Sarkozy vows to ban the Islamic burkini swimsuit, has ruled out special school lunches for Muslim children - saying they should fill up on a double portion of chips when pork is on the menu - and told migrants gaining citizenship that their ancestors were Gauls.

Nicolas Sarkozy, former French President and candidate for the French conservative presidential primary, attends a rally as he campaigns in Meyzieu, near Lyon, France, November 9, 2016.

The gathering came after a news conference Saturday in which Mayor Charlie Hayes and Police Chief Mike Marshman urged restraint after several days of violent marches that damaged property and left one person shot.

Friday night, police used flash-bang grenades to disperse a crowd of hundreds in the downtown area. Seventeen people were arrested and one man was shot and suffered non-life-threatening injuries in what police described as a confrontation with gang members. Two people were arrested on attempted murder charges.

In Los Angeles, an estimated 8,000 people marched through downtown streets Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump’s hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women. Jennifer Cruz, 18, of Ventura, California, carried a sign that asked: “Legalize weed but not my Mom?” — a reference to Californians’ Tuesday passage of a measure legalizing recreational marijuana use.

Cruz said her parents have

mannered former prime minister Alain Juppe, calls Sarkozy’s campaign strategy “suicidal”.

Sarkozy says Juppe would be too cautious on reforms.

Sarkozy is favourite among Republican party supporters to win the primary votes on Nov. 20 and 27. However, these are open to all centre-right parties; anyone who pays two euros ($2.17) and says they adhere to the centreright’s values can vote.

A Nov. 3 poll by Elabe of centrist and conservative voters showed Juppe with 39 percent backing in the opening round, with Sarkozy trailing 12 points behind. It then showed Juppe romping home in the primary run-off, and a number of polls suggest Sarkozy’s strategy has alienated middle-ground voters.

But after Britain voted to leave the European Union and Trump defied pollsters to win the White House, Sarkozy and his allies say he is reading the mood of voters right. (rtr)

been in the United States illegally for 30 years, although her mother has spent years seeking citizenship. She called the possibility of their deportation terrifying.

Meanwhile, several dozen Trump supporters gathered at his vandalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to urge the protesters to give him a chance. One person held a cross that read “All lives matter to me.” In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday. Evening marches disrupted traffic in Miami and Atlanta.

Trump supporter Nicolas Quirico was traveling from South Beach to Miami. His car was among hundreds stopped when protesters blocked Interstate 395. “Trump will be our president. There is no way around that, and the sooner people grasp that, the better off we will be,” he said.

“There is a difference between a peaceful protest and standing in a major highway backing up traffic for 5 miles. This is wrong.” Protests also were held in Detroit; Minneapolis; Kansas City, Missouri; Olympia, Washington, Iowa City and more. (ap)

BUSINESS Britain’s Brexit firebrand Farage meets Trump in New York

NEW YORK - Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage visited Donald Trump at his home on Saturday, after suggesting he could act as a go-between to help smooth British relations with U.S. president-elect. Prime Minister Theresa May is not expected to meet with the incoming leader until early next year and Farage has suggested her criticisms of Trump in the early days of the campaign could damage ties with Washington.

“We’re just tourists!” Farage, head of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), told reporters as he waited for an elevator in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City.

He later tweeted a photograph of himself with Trump standing in front of a pair of golden doors and smiling broadly, the presidentelect giving the camera a thumbs-up. “It was a great honor to spend time with @realDonaldTrump,” Farage said on Twitter. “He was relaxed and full of good ideas. I’m confident he will be a good President.”

Trump’s election campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said: “I think they enjoy each other’s company, and they actually had a chance to talk about freedom and winning and what this all means for the world.”

In a separate photograph posted on Twitter, UKIP donor Arron Banks, Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam, and Gerry Gunster, an American whose advocacy firm worked on the Brexit campaign, were also pictured with Trump and Farage.

May - who spoke to Trump by phone on Thursday - and her predecessor David Cameron last year described Trump as “divisive” and “wrong” over his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States. At that time he was not considered likely to win the presidency.

While the British government has congratulated Trump on his election, the head of the opposition, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said he should “grow up” on the immigration issue and recognise that the U.S. economy depends on migrant workers.

“The treatment of Mexico by the United States just as much as its absurd and abusive language towards Muslims is something that has to be challenged and should be challenged,” Corbyn, whose wife is Mexican, told the BBC on Sunday.

“IRRELEVANCE”.

UKIP, which has only one member of parliament in London, said Farage and Trump spent more than an hour discussing Trump’s victory, global politics and Brexit.

A party official has suggested Farage be the next ambassador to the United States but British media reported May’s office rejected any the idea of any involvement by Farage, citing unnamed sources describing him as an “irrelevance”.

A day after Trump’s election victory, Farage called on the real estate mogul to reverse “loathsome” Barack Obama’s policy by making Britain his top priority.

Farage said he had been pleased at Trump’s “very positive reaction” to the idea that a bust of former British prime minister Winston Churchill be put back in the Oval Office.

He has also joked about sexual assault allegations against Trump, urging him to “schmooze” May but not touch her. He said he could attend any meeting to be the “responsible adult to make sure everything is OK.” Farage, who spoke at a Trump rally during the election campaign, had predicted the former reality TV host would tap into the same dissatisfaction among voters that led to Britain deciding on June 23 to leave the European Union.

Trump made repeated references to Brexit during his campaign, saying it had highlighted the desire for change among voters frustrated with traditional politics.(rtr)

NEW DELHI - Anger intensified in India on Saturday as banks struggled to dispense cash following the government’s decision to withdraw large denomination notes in an attempt to uncover billions of dollars in undeclared wealth. Tempers frayed as hundreds of thousands of people queued for hours outside banks for a third day to swap 500 and 1,000 rupee bank notes after the notes were abolished earlier in the week.

The banned bills made up more than 80 percent of the currency in circulation, leaving millions of people without cash and threatening to bring much of the cash-driven economy to a halt.

“There’s chaos everywhere,” said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a rival of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the premier of wreaking havoc on poor and working Indians while the wealthy found ways to skirt the new rules.

Customers argued and banged the glass doors at a Standard Chartered branch in southern Delhi after security guards blocked the entrance, saying there were too many people inside already. Others turned on Modi, criticising his ongoing visit to Japan while ordinary people suffered at home.

“He is taking bullet train rides in Japan and here you have old people knocking on bank doors for cash,” said Prabhat Kumar, a college student who said he had spent six hours in the queue. “He has made a terrible mistake.” Modi said he would

pursue the fight against corruption and tax dodgers even if it meant scanning decades-old records.

“If unaccounted money is found out during the current clean up drive, accounts of tax evaders dating back to the country’s independence in 1947 will be checked. If required I will hire people for this task,” Modi told the Indian community in Kobe.

He said he recognised people faced difficulties as the transition to the new series of bank notes takes place but was confident they would stand by the decision as part of the war against corruption and to rid India of endemic poverty.

TRADERS STRUGGLE AS CASH CRUNCH BITES Nearly half of India’s 202,000 ATMs were shut on Friday and those that operated quickly ran out of the new notes as scores of people descended upon them. Finance minister Arun Jaitley said ATMs had not been adjusted to handle new currency notes prior to the announcement in

order to keep it under wraps. “Recalibration of ATMs will be completed within two weeks,” he added.

Referring to inconvenience caused to public, Jaitley said there could be some, short-term disruptive cost to the economy due to the demonetisation drive but this would prove positive in the longer term.

Traders in Delhi’s vegetable market said they were considering shutting down the market as cash was running out and banks were dispensing a limited amount.

“We might have to close down until the situation stabilises,” said Metharam Kriplani, president of the Chambers of Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Traders. People in Mumbai said grocers were charging 10 times the price of salt in return for accepting the old cash notes.

The government has asked people to exchange the old 500 and 1,000 rupees notes by Dec. 30. The central bank said there was enough cash available with banks and that it had made arrangements to deliver the new bank notes across the country.

Modi’s move was aimed at shrinking the “black economy”, the term widely used to describe transactions that take place outside formal channels and which could be as high as 20 percent of gross domestic product, according to investment firm Ambit.(rtr)

JAKARTA - Immigration personnel at the SoekarnoHatta International Airport (SHIA) debarred two Moroccan women, identified as FZE (22) and SEM (21), from entering Indonesia on Saturday (Nov. 12).

“Both (the women) failed to show enough evidence of they intended to bear their cost of living,” head of public relations and general affairs of the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, Heru Santoso, stated in a press release received here on Saturday.

The two women hailing from Morocco who arrived on board the Emirates Airlines flight EK-356 were being questioned by immigration officials about immigration related documents.

Heru further noted that both had claimed to have come as tourists for a three weeks stay in Indonesia but could not show enough evidence about the cost of living.

JAKARTA - Indonesian authorities on Sunday arrested a suspected militant who threw an explosive device at a church in the eastern island of Borneo and injured four children. Police in East Kalimantan province said the attacker had been imprisoned on terrorism charges in the past.

“A suspected low-impact bomb was thrown...Four children were injured and four motorcycles were damaged,” East Kalimantan police spokesman Fajar Setiawan said, adding police were looking into links with radical networks.

The attack took place at 10am in the parking lot of Oikumene church

in the town of Samarinda. Indonesia has seen a string of Islamic State-linked attacks this year, the biggest of which was a gun and bomb assault in the capital Jakarta that killed four people.

Authorities are concerned about a resurgence in radicalism and say there are hundreds of Islamic State

sympathizers in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation. President Joko Widodo said he had ordered an investigation into the attack.

“I have ordered the police chief to take firm action and thoroughly investigate the perpetrator,” Widodo said in a statement.(rtr) The police and bomb squad are inspecting the crime scene where the explosion happen in Samarinda, East Borneo.

President Jokowi promises to build inward infrastructure

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has said while Indonesia has been focusing on physical infrastructure, the government will also work towards ensuring that the citizenry is mentally and emotionally strong. He called it “inward infrastructure,” vis-a-vis the physical infrastructure.

“Currently, we are focusing on physical development, but the inward infrastructure is also important (to build),” the president stated before thousands of people at a prayer event in Ancol, North Jakarta, on Saturday.

The President admitted that such “inward infrastructure” develop-

ment is required as a foundation for developing sound and accomplished human resources in the country. Therefore, he appreciated all those who have been pursuing the goal of national character while the government was focusing on improving the physical infrastructure.

He reiterated the importance of physical infrastructure development, being carried out as part of the five-year program of the government of Joko Widodo and M. Jusuf Kalla (Jokowi-JK). “ I want to say that our focus is now on physical development,” reminded the president.

Under the leadership of Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla, Indonesia has switched from the Java-centric development pattern and shifted focus a more even development across Indonesia. The objective is to unite the Indonesian nation that is made up of thousands of islands, from Sabang to Merauke.

“We have built toll roads from Lampung to Aceh, and work has been going on for two years. All this development should not remain confined to in Java but must be pursued outside Java. Such development needs to take place from Balikpapan to Samarinda and from Manado to Bitung. Thank God that

everything has been running well.

Now, people should wait for the completion of these projects,” he counselled.

The infrastructure development achieved by the government is now expected to bring down the cost of transportation, and the president hopes that as a consequence, commodity prices will be more affordable in the country. “The physical infrastructure is indeed expected to lead to cheaper transportation costs,” he explained.

On the occasion, the President also expressed his gratitude to the scholars, especially of the National Awakening Party (PKB), which has

initiated the program of “Nusantara Mengaji” or Quran recitation initiatives throughout Indonesia. It is seen as being in line with the vision of the Indonesian government that wants to build a model Indonesian citizen.

Several cabinet ministers attended the event, including Minister/State Secretary Pratikno; Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Imam Nahrawi; and Manpower Minister Hanif Dhakiri, who hails from the PKB. PKB General Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar also attended the event, which was a national friendly gathering of ulemas and the people.(rtr)

Australia, U.S. announce refugee resettlement deal

SYDNEY - Australia has reached a resettlement deal with the United States for refugees being held in Papua New Guinea and Nauru after attempting to reach Australia by boat, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Sunday.

The decrease in the number of tourist visitors to Kehen Temple over the last few years, has caused nearly all of the 60 nearby souvenir shops to close.

Tourist visits to Kehen Temple slump

Dozens of souvenir shops decide to close shop

BANGLI - The decrease in the number of tourist visitors to Kehen Temple over the last few years, has caused nearly all of the 60 nearby souvenir shops to close. Only 15 remain open today.

Secretary of the Kehen Temple tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis), Nengah Mustika, admitted on Friday (Nov. 11) that shops on the area of Kehen temple have been slowly closing one by one

since the early 2000’s and that they can no longer expect shop owners to persevere under such conditions.

“We have appealed to shop owners to keep their shops open,

but this request has been ignored as many preffer to close their kioks due to lack of visitors”, said Mustika.

Currently, there is an average 50 to 100 visitors per day to Kehen Temple., most of whom are form Europe. IN the 1980’s and 90’s there were about 200 visitors per day, so all the souvenir shops could survive”, he explained.

Mustika explained that there started to be less visitors to Kehen Temple after the price of admission went up form IDR 10,000 to IDR 30,000 in 2015.

“Since the enforcement of the new admission price, less and less visitors have been coming here” he said. He added that the decline in tourist visits to Kehen Temple started with the Bali

bombings in Kuta.

Many hope that Kehen Temple can again become n attractive destination for tourists and that the government of Bangli can make repairs to the toilet and re-arrange the garden. Pokdarwis only receives 40 percent of the revenue from ticket sales, which is not enough to make such repairs and improvements. (kmb40)

Under Australia’s tough border security laws, asylum seekers intercepted trying to reach the country by boat are sent for processing at detention camps on Papua New Guinea’s Manus island and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Nauru.

Some 1,200 people are in detention, with many held for more than three years. The United Nations and human rights groups have criticised the detentions.

“I can now confirm that the government has reached a further third country resettlement arrangement for refugees presently in the regional processing centres. The agreement is with the United States,” Turnbull told a press conference in Canberra.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to ban Muslims from entering the United States and championed anti-immigration policies, raising uncertainty about the resettlement deal. Many of the detainees come for Afghanistan and Iraq.

Amnesty International said it was extremely concerned about the lack of information around the timeline and the number of refugees to be processed. No timeline was given for the process.

“Amnesty International has seen first hand the horrific abuse that is being inflicted on people in Nauru and on Manus island, so we are pleased that for those who may be resettled in the U.S. the abuse will come to an end...,” said Dr Graham Thom, Refugee Coordinator at Amnesty International Australia.

Abdul Aziz, 24, who has spent more than three years on Manus Island after fleeing his home in Sudan in 2013, was very happy.

“All the refugees were smiling and hugging each other. This nightmare is going to end finally, but the main question is when and how and how we get out of here,” he told Reuters.

The agreement, to be administered with the U.N. High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), is available only to those currently in the processing centres and will not be repeated.

Turnbull would not say how many refugees would be resettled in the United States, but that women, children and families would be prioritised. Those who have had refugee applications rejected should return to their countries, he said. (rtr)

Colombia, rebels agree revised peace deal to end 52-year war

Splendor of ten underwater statues at Putri Menjangan

SINGARAJA - Waters in the area of Putri Menjangan, located in Pejarakan village, Gerokgak, has a wealth of mangrove forests and undersea coral reef that are considered a priceless asset to both local and foreign divers. Menjangan Island conservation forum (FKPM) showed their concern for the coral reef here by submerging ten statues in the waters of Putri Menjangan to

serve as support for the coral.

For the occasion of national Heroes Day, some divers submerged more statues and conducted a flag raising ceremony. Founding board member of FPMK, Abdul Hari explained that the idea to submerge statue parts was inspired by the story of Putri Menjangan that is often staged in Calonarang performances, with the message of preserving the

natural environment. “We have gradually submerged ten statuee, one of Putri Menjangan, two statues of mermaids. two statues of ladies, two commanders, two statues of warriors and a grandfather-shaped statue. These statues tell a story of a princess being advised to always care for nature and its contents”, said Hari on Friday (Nov. 11).

Many people were involved in

the lowering of the statues into the 120 cm high, 1.3 quintal weight into a depth of 15 meters below sea level. Also, 30 activists from FKPM, the Biosphere Foundation, American NGO representatives as well as students from Malang’s Brawijaya University Malang contributed to Putri Menjagan conservation efforts, who all contributed to the financing of the IDR

10 million statue.

“Once the statue has been submerged, it will become overgrown with coral within three months.

We also hope that the underwater statue can become a tourist destination attracting divers to the area of Putri Menjagan. We also planted mangroves as a form of direct action environmental preservation”, he said. (kmb34)

Colombia’s FARC lead negotiator Ivan Marquez (C) and Colombia’s lead government negotiator Humberto de la Calle shake hands while Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez looks on, after signing a new peace deal to end their 52-year war in Havana, Cuba, November 12, 2016.

HAVANA - Colombia’s government and the Marxist FARC rebels said on Saturday they agreed on a revised peace deal to end a 52-year war, six weeks after the original was narrowly rejected in a referendum amid objections it was too favorable to the rebels.

The government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which have been holding talks in Havana for four years, said they had incorporated proposals from the opposition, religious leaders and others.

President Juan Manuel Santos hopes to unite the divided nation behind the new deal after the peace process was endangered by its rejection in the October plebiscite.

Colombian voters were deeply split, with many worried the FARC would not be punished for crimes and others hopeful the deal would cement an end to violence.

“We call upon all Colombia

and the international community... to back this new accord and its quick implementation so as to leave the tragedy of war in the past,” the two sides said in a statement. “Peace cannot wait anymore.”

Copies of the new accord will be made public from Sunday. The government has not addressed holding a second plebiscite to approve the deal, though some opposition figures were already demanding one via Twitter.

The new deal will not modify a controversial part of the accord that gives the FARC 10 congressional seats through 2026 or prevent rebel leaders from eventually being elected to political posts.

However, the accord will not be integrated into Colombia’s constitution and the FARC will be required to present a complete inventory of its assets, which are destined for victim compensa-

tion, Santos said in a televised address.

The modified accord also takes foreign magistrates off special peace tribunals, although there will be foreign observers, and stipulates the FARC must turn in exhaustive information about its involvement in the drug trade.

The new deal limits the work of the special tribunals to 10 years and requires any investigations be opened within the first two years.

A key concern among those who voted “no” on the initial deal is that convicted rebels will not serve jail time and will instead remove land mines and do other reparations work.

It seemed unlikely modifications would include prison time, but Santos said the deal would ensure FARC fighters sentenced by the special court will be restricted to certain areas, living arrangements and work hours. (rtr)

Tourism down, prices up to IDR 300,000

Menjangan out of synch

SINGARAJA - The price hike to IDR 300,000 for admission for foreigners into the West Bali National Park (TNBB), that was imposed by the central government last year has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of visitors to Menjagan Island. Many people who are involved in the tourism sector in the area object to this increase, given that tourist numbers are already down and because there have been no improvements made to infrastructure to reflect this price hike.

Museum to Yasser Arafat offers facts, leaves open questions

RAMALLAH - The battle for Palestinian statehood consumed Yasser Arafat’s life and a new museum in his name puts the nature of that fight front and centre - the sub-machine gun on his desk, the AK-47 assault rifle in the corner, the pistol at his side.

Twelve years after his death in Paris at the age of 75, the Yasser Arafat Museum opened its doors in Ramallah on Thursday, attempting to flesh out some of the facts behind a divisive figure who remains something of an enigma long after his demise.

Arranged along four corridors over two floors, the museum takes visitors through a potted history of the Palestinian liberation movement: the exile in Tunisia and

Lebanon, the return to the West Bank, the shared Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and the violent first and second uprisings against Israel.

The corridors lead to the inner sanctum of Arafat’s besieged life in the Muqata, the Palestinian headquarters in Ramallah, where he was holed up for nearly three years in a pokey bedroom. Arafat’s body is now buried in the Muqata compound.

While revered by many Palestinians, Arafat was a thorn in the side of several Arab states and a ruthless killer in the eyes of Israelis. The museum largely lauds his legacy, while spending little time on those who stood by and with him, including his wife, Suha, and his successor, Mahmoud Abbas.

Hanging in the simple wardrobe next to the single bed in his hideout are his khaki military jackets and a pile of black-and-white keffiyehs, the chequered scarves he nearly always wore and which remain a symbol of resistance for Palestinians.

On the desk in his office, a pile of papers held down by a submachine gun, a copy of the Koran, and in a guards’ room an AK-47 leaning against the wall. In a separate display case, the ornate revolver he often wore in a holster on his hip.

The museum begins at the start of the 20th century and charts the rise of Palestinian nationalism, the struggle for international recognition, the confrontation with Zionism and with Israel after the state’s

founding in 1948.

Archival photos and videos mark high and low points: handshakes with then-U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; bulldozers knocking down parts of the Muqata, which Arafat barely left during an Israeli siege from 2002-2004; a landmark 1974 address to the U.N. General Assembly.

Palestinian attacks, including the killing of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, the hijacking of airplanes throughout the 1970s and deadly suicide bombings during the second intifada (uprising), are covered in a purely factual way.

Yet while lots of background and history are provided, several elements of Arafat’s life remain a

conundrum. The museum relates that Arafat was born in the Old City of Jerusalem on Aug. 4, 1929, and was later taken to Cairo.

But historians say the evidence suggests he was born in Cairo and brought to Jerusalem at the age of four, when his mother died. Others believe he was born in Gaza, the Palestinian territory on the Mediterranean coast.

And his death, too, remains somewhat mysterious. French doctors say he died of a haemorrhagic stroke on Nov. 11, 2004, around two weeks after coming down with flu-like symptoms. He was flown to France in a military jet after Egyptian and Jordanian doctors failed to identify the health problem. (rtr)

Head of the Pemuteran Tourism Association, I Ketut Sutrawan, explained that the huge jump in the price of admission has directly resulted in fewer tourists visiting Menjagan Island. Many people in the tourism industry object to the price hike, saying that infrastructure should be improved before raising ticket prices.

The pier of Menjangan Island’s Post II is fractured and changing rooms and toilets are sub-standard.

“We have no choice but to follow government rules. Certainly all tourism-supporting infrastructure needs to be equipped with complete facilities such as toilets and landfills. The damaged pier also needs to be repaired.

Many other facilities also need to be

improved if the price of admission is going to be so high. But this has not been done”, said Suartika.

When contacted separately on Saturday (Nov. 12), member of Commission I of the Bali House of Representatives, I Nyoman Tirtawan, said that the doubling of the price of admission to the National Park has not been accompanied by supporting infrastructure. IN fact the price of admission to West Bali National Park is twice that of admission to Mount Bromo although both places are subject to the same Government Regulation (PP) No.12/2014.

Since last year very few tourists have visited the park. In fact, Tirtawan said that there were 4,0000 fewer visi-

BANGLI - Professional blacksmiths in Bangli are increasingly rare as less and less young people

are interested in inheriting this traditional business. Given the huge amount of manufactured metal

tors this year compared to last year.

TNBB’S revenue of about IDR 8billion a year is submitted to the Ministry of Forestry.

“Why is so much money going to the central government if basic infrastructure is not being repaired? Tour guides who normally accompany visitors from Labuan Lalang poert to Menjangan Island have seen a sharp decrease in their income with so few guests, naturally room occupancy rates in the area is also down”, he said.

If an effort to assist those working in the tourism industry here, Tirtawan suggested that concerned people write to the Ministry of Forestry in objection to the price hike and request that the price hike be reconsidered. “Ideally price of admission should be IDR 150,000, which is already quite high. “In essence, we are saying that it should be the same as admission to other national parks given that the legal basis for the pricing is the same.

Once such a letter is officially sent on behalf of the local tourism in-

products such as kitchen utensils sand farming tools that are flooding the market, blacksmiths are pushed to the fringes.

Pande hamlet blacksmith, Kawan, Nyoman Wardana, revealed that over time, the number of Bangli residents that pursue the profession of blacksmith has been decreasing. Wardana and another man from Sidembunut are the only two remaining blacksmiths of the seven that formerly worked in the area.

Wardana explained that young people are reluctant to carry on

this tradition partly because it is hard work, but also because many youngster consider the income generated from this line of work to be unstable, as they must rely on orders, instead of a steady income.

Recently Wardana received some orders for knives and machetes, but rarely does he get orders for agricultural tools like hoes and sickles. “In the past, yes, many farmers ordered hoes and sickles. However, since around 2005- 2006 many farmers started using tractors, so my orders started to decrease. Now, people

dustry, I will approach the ministry for reassessment so that the steep price hike can be reviewed as soon as possible”, he said.

Head of the TNBB, Tedi Sutedi, explained that the rules on admission ticket prices are set forth under Government Regulation No.12/2014 concerning the imposition of admission tickets to conservation areas under the jurisdiction of the Ministry

of Forestry. The TNBB has let all relevant tourism workers know. “Ticket pricing is a basic consideration in the control of visitors and the impact of visitors to the national park as a conservation area. This will be taken as a point of reference for hoteliers and tour operators. The pier infrastructure at Post I and II, the toilets and water flow will be repaired this year” he said. (kmb34)

Bangli Blacksmith increasingly scarce

rarely order new hoes, they just repair the ones they have, because they don’t use them as often” he said.

The increase in the number of manufactured farming tools, that are now available, he explained, also contributes to the reduction in the number of orders that Wardana now receives. Wardana also explained that the only way for him to ensure his survival as a blacksmith is to maintain a very high quality in his products. He only uses the best raw materials so that his products last. (kmb40)

Badung develops its agriculture to become self-sufficient MANGUPURA - In order for Badung to become self-sufficient, tourism, agriculture and other sectors need to collaborate. Everyone in Badung should be able to enjoy the income generated by these sectors. Over the last five years however, the development of tourism in Badung has dominated the landscape at the expense of the agricultural sector.

“We are aligning the growth of the agricultural sector with that of that of the tourism sector so that farmers in Badung can eventually become independent and proud to be part of making Badung self-sufficient” said Regent of Badung, Nyoman Giri Prasta, during a talk show

entitled “Proud to be a Farmer” that was held at the Badung Civic Center on Thursday (Nov. 10).

The local government has allocated part of the 2017 regional budget specifically for the agricultural sector. Also, both technical and managerial methods are being designed to held develop agriculture in Badung.

Giri Prasta said that agriculture in Badung will become contemporary, meaning that modern technologies will be applied allowing for higher quality agricultural products.

Udayana University’s Faculty of Agriculture and other related agencies are also being continuously consulted for the development of

engineering technologies including things like selecting seeds according to soil type. The government of Badung also plans to develop a smart city that will also include applications to agriculture.

“Obviously we will work on combining the agricultural sector and the tourism sector. This involves increasing the quality of agricultural products and also transforming farming areas into eco-based tourism attractions like agro-tourism techno-park (ATT).

That way, farmers can receive more income. Aesthetics and cultural tourism in Bali will also surely not be forgotten”, he concluded.

In response, Regent of Badung, I Nyoman Giri Prasta, said that he will deploy ranks of the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency to be on guard 24 hours a day.

“There will be two shifts to help maintain traffic fluidity” he said.

Previously, the Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency, North Kuta Police and the parliament agreed to a short term cross agency collaboration in order to increase the number of people on duty overseeing traffic smoothness – especially during rush hour and on weekends.

The Badung Transportation and Infocom Agency has a technical implementation unit (UPT) of traffic and land transportation to regulate traffic condition in South Kuta, Kuta and North Kuta subdistrict with a total of 60 personnel. (kmb27)

Dengue increases by 200 percent, endemic to 41 villages

AMLAPURA - Erratic summer weather and occasional heavy rains have apparently caused the Aedes aegypti mosquito to proliferate rampantly as cases of dengue have increased by 200 percent this month. Regent of Karangasem, IGA Mas Sumatri, recently announced that 41 villages in Karangasem are now considered to be endemic for dengue.

On Saturday, Karangasem’s first female regent led a massmosquito nest eradication in Ulakan Sqaure, Karangasem. Since October, a total of 3,092 patients have been diagnosed and treated for dengue. “If people’s awareness about the importance of eliminating mosquito breeding sites remains low, we could see a significant increase in the number of dengue patients by year end. So far the number of cases of dengue has increased two fold compared to 2015 when there were only 790 reported cases”, said Sumatri.

Dengue fever caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito is known to be endemic in 41 of the 78 villages in the district. Most of the affected villages are in remote areas like Kubu but residents of villages in mountainous areas such as Pedahan have also been infected, including a young woman who died of dengue last May. Mosquito larvae can lay dormant until weather conditions favor their activation. Presently 86 percent of Karangasem’s villages are considered to be mosquito larvae-free. The government is targeting 95 percent in order to reduce the likelihood of fatalities.

Head of the Bali Health Agency, Ketut Suarjaya, while providing guidance on mosquito nests eradication (PSN) in Karangasem last Saturday, explained that this year there has been a total of 19,000 cases of dengue in Bali, with 56 fatalies, most of which occured in Karangasem. (013)

‘Fantastic Beasts’ fuses dark themes with plea for acceptance

NEW YORK - “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, the “Harry Potter” wizarding spinoff movie, had its world premiere on Thursday night, and the cast said they hoped the film would provide both escapist comfort and a message of acceptance in the real world.

The film, the first of five, takes place 70 years before events in the first Harry Potter books and features a cast of new characters with magical powers. Set in 1926, it centers on Newt Scamander, a “magizoologist” who arrives in New York with a case full of strange creatures that quickly escape.

Just like the Harry Potter books and movies that were rich in themes of good and evil, death and family, author J.K. Rowling infuses

the “Fantastic Beasts” story with darker topics of xenophobia and intolerance.

“There are a few really beautiful and pertinent messages in the film ... There is this fear of the other, this fear of what we don’t understand, a need to blame and segregate. And how hate can grow into something that is just overpowering because of that,” actress Alison Sudol, who plays the mind-reading Queenie Goldstein, told reporters on the red

carpet in New York.

Ezra Miller, whose character Credence Barebone is shy and unloved, said the movie has “the comfort and the escapist wonder that she (Rowling) brings” as well as issues “to take back to our world to get to work on.”

Rowling, who wrote the screenplay for the film, said the story was “partly informed by what I saw as a rise of populism around the world.”

“If you have read the (Harry) Potter books you know this period threatened to become very dystopian. You were looking at the rise of a very dark force,” the British author told a news conference ahead of Thursday’s premiere. (rtr)

Anti-Trump protesters march by tens of thousands nationwide

NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s presidential upset win sparked a fourth day of protests across the United States, with tens of thousands of protesters marching and railing against him.

Saturday protests — held in big cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago as well as smaller ones, such as Worcester, Massachusetts, and Iowa City, Iowa — were largely peaceful, although two police officers were slightly injured in protests in Indianapolis.

Demonstrators rallied at New York’s Union Square before taking their cause up Fifth Avenue toward Trump Tower, where they were held back by police barricades. The Republican president-elect was inside his tower apartment, working with aides on the transition to the White House.

Among those railing against him was filmmaker Michael Moore, who tweeted a demand that Trump “step aside.” Fashion designer Noemi Abad, 30, agreed.

“I just can’t have Donald Trump

running this country and teaching our children racism, sexism and bigotry,” she said. “Out of his own mouth he made this division. He needs to go — there’s no place for racism in society in America.”

Trump’s comments — particularly a 2005 recording of him making lewd comments about women — sparked outrage during his campaign. That spilled over into demonstrations following an election that ended with half of U.S. voters choosing the other candidate, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Demonstrators in Indianapolis on Saturday threw rocks at police, slightly injuring two officers, said Police Chief Troy Riggs. Some protesters began chanting threats including “Kill the Police,” and officers moved in to arrest seven demonstrators.

Police briefly fired pepper balls into the crowd during the confrontation. “We believe that we have some instigators that arrived in our city,” trying to start a riot, Riggs said. Rowdy demonstrators marched through downtown Portland, Oregon, for the fourth night Saturday despite calls from the mayor and police chief for calm.

Several hundred people took to the streets and Portland authorities made multiple arrests after protesters threw bottles and other items at officers in riot gear and blocked streets and light rail lines. The exact number of arrests wasn’t immediately available.
