NEW YORK - Major television channel NBC has tapped YouTube star Lilly Singh to helm a late-night talk show, making the Canadian the first woman to host on a US broadcast network in more than three decades. The evening talk shows have been a mainstay of American television for more than half-a-century -- but their hosts are generally white men. The late comedian Joan Rivers did host her own show from 1986 to 1988 on Fox, but that channel -- unlike competitors ABC, CBS and NBC -- is not known for its late-night talk programming and no longer uses the format. Comedian Samantha Bee also hosts her own evening satire news show entitled “Full Frontal,” but it airs on the cable channel TBS and has a much smaller audience than the four national broadcast networks. Singh, 30, will take over the last of

NBC’s three slots that is currently hosted by Carson Daly and begins at 1:35 am EST. A Canadian born to Indian parents, Singh gained fame for her YouTube channel “Superwoman,” launched in 2010, which today boasts 14.5 million subscribers and nearly three billion total views. She announced her new gig as host of “A Little Late with Lilly Singh” as a guest on NBC’s “The Tonight Show, the network’s most-watched late-night program that’s hosted by Jimmy Fallon. It will be “kind of like my YouTube channel,” she said, adding that “I think it’s a little awesome for an Indian Canadian woman to be on a late-night show.” (afp)

Jackson fans sue alleged victims for ‘sullying his memory’ ORLEANS - Three Michael Jackson fan groups are suing his alleged victims in France for “sullying his memory” by taking part in the “Leaving Neverland” documentary, the fans’ lawyer told AFP Friday. The Michael Jackson Community -- which claims to be the “official fan club forum” for the “King of Pop” -- and the MJ Street and On The Line groups accuse Robson Wade and James Safechuck of “lynching” the star. The case, which will heard by a court in Orleans in northern France in July, follows reports that Jacksons’ children were also considering taking legal action against the men, who say that Jackson sexually abused them when they were children. Lawyer Emmanuel Ludot, who has previously successfully sued Jackson’s doctor for causing dis-

tress to his fans by giving him the drugs that killed him, said the groups “want to discredit the accusations of paedophilia” that have long dogged the star. He said that the “indignity of the extremely grave accusations” made by Wade and Safechuck in “Leaving Neverland” had sullied the memory of the singer, who died in 2009. Jackson’s image had been affected by the allegations as well as “the whole community of his fans”, the lawyer said. “Leaving Neverland” was first broadcast in the US on HBO earlier this month and has since broken streaming records in Britain. - ‘Traitor’ But the film has outraged some of the late idol’s fans, who have waged an often vicious social media campaign against his ac-

cusers. A number of radio stations, from Australia to Canada have stopped playing Jackson’s music after the documentary was aired, and the creators of “The Simpsons” also shelved one of the animated series’ classic episodes because it featured Jackson’s voice. French luxury brand Louis Vuitton dropped Jackson-themed clothing Thursday from a collection it had shown at Paris fashion week in January, saying it found the “allegations in the documentary deeply troubling and disturbing”. Virgil Abloh, the first black designer to lead a major Paris fashion house, was assailed on social media for the decision by Jackson fans. “Shame on you for removing all items related to Michael Jackson,” one wrote on Instagram, while another accused him of being a “traitor... on the white people side”.

In 2014, French lawyer Ludot won nominal damages of one euro ($0.8) from Jackson’s personal doc-

tor Conrad Murray for the hurt he had caused to his fans for his part in the singer’s death. (afp)

The death toll was expected to rise as emergency services struggled to reach people in hardhit areas, with more than 70 people injured and 4,150 evacuated. The floods -- triggered by torrential rain and landslides on Saturday -- damaged numerous homes in the northeastern town of Sentani, said national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. “The number of casualties and impact of the disaster will likely increase as search and rescue teams are still trying to reach other affected areas,” he said. The waters had receded but of-

ficials were still trying to evacuate people from areas obstructed by “fallen trees, rocks, mud and other material”, Nugroho added. In Doyo, one of the most affected areas, a housing complex was littered with huge rocks believed to have rolled down from a nearby mountain, an AFP reporter at the scene said. Sediment and waste swept by the floods piled up on the pavement. The non-stop wail of ambulance sirens could be heard, as heavy equipment was used to clear the roads. The government has announced a 14-day state of emer-

gency, said Jayapura police chief Victor Dean Mackbon. Video footage showed rescuers administering oxygen to a victim who appeared to be trapped beneath a fallen tree. Officers rescued a five-month-old baby who was trapped for hours under the rubble, Papua military spokesman Muhammad Aidi said. The whereabouts of the parents are unknown. A propeller plane lay partly crushed on a runway at the airport of nearby provincial capital Jayapura. “The rain started last night and went on until around 1:00 am this morning,” said Lilis Puji Hastuti, a 29-year-old mother of two young

children in Sentani. “Our house was flooded with thick mud ... we immediately grabbed our valuables and ran to a neighbour’s (two-storey) house to seek refuge. “It’s hard to get out of the area because many roads are blocked... I’m worried, sad and scared all at once,” she told AFP. In Sentani, tents have been set up to take in flood victims and treat the wounded. Papua shares a border with independent Papua New Guinea on an island just north of Australia. Flooding is common in Indonesia, especially during the rainy season which runs from October to April. In January, floods and landslides killed at least 70 people on Sulawesi

island, while earlier this month hundreds in West Java province were forced to evacuate when torrential rains triggered severe flooding. The Southeast Asian archipelago of some 17,000 islands is one of the most disaster-prone nations on Earth, straddling the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates collide. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common. (afp) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Different market segments, traditional markets believed to still exist

DENPASAR - People upholding bamboo baskets become the characteristic of merchants in traditional markets. A towel rolled around the head is taken advantage as pedestal of their basket. Such a view will not be obtained if you make a visit to modern market. The development of modern markets and online markets having been reachable by the upper middle class as well as lower middle class becomes a challenge for traditional markets. Modern

markets are feared to marginalize traditional markets. However, a socio-economics expert from the Udayana University (Unud), Prof. IGAA Ambarawati, Ph.D. assessed that traditional markets will remain

The entrance to Badung Market

to exist because the segments of the two markets are different. In addition, there is a living culture in the transaction at traditional market so that this culture will keep people from choosing to shop at traditional markets. “When hearing traditional markets, ordinary people will think of a muddy or not well organized market,” she said. In line with the development of the times, tradi-

IBP/kmb

tional markets also developed dynamically. In the past, the market, road access and merchants had not been arranged well, but now the district or city government began to revitalize the markets, including the infrastructure, systems and human resources. When asked, can traditional markets exist? The answer is yes because the segment of traditional market is different from that of modern market. The community still wants a bargaining transaction that can only be done at traditional markets. People entering traditional markets now feel more comfortable. The markets sell all kinds of daily necessities accessible to all people. Traditional markets also sell agricultural commodities and ritual ingredients which are not necessarily sold by modern markets. Traditional markets in Bali in particular are still sustainable because they do not only involve transactions but also living cultures in it. Kreneng Market and Badung Market, for instance, have been arranged in such a way so that they are not eroded by the presence of modern market. “Consumers coming to traditional market have different objectives with those coming to the modern markets. Though the modern markets apply on-stop shopping including entertainment and so on, traditional markets will still exist,” he said. As she sees overseas, in line with the advancement of modern markets, traditional markets are even more maintained. Traditional markets sell local farmers’ commodities so that they help local farmers. Besides, the markets also offers their own pleasure or entertainment such as agrotourism tours. “That’s what I see in big cities overseas like in the United States or Europe,” she said. In Bali, she is confident that similar case can go on because the traditional market is increasingly

well organized, especially in Denpasar supported by the arrangement of riverside area along Tukad Badung for tourist object. As a result, the Tukad Badung located adjacent to the Badung Market becomes a special attraction, where visitors can shop and enjoy the market and river conditions. After being revitalized, a new phenomenon of merchants emerged. The traditional markets in Bali are not only filled by local Balinese merchants but also those from outside the island that sell ingredients for Hindu religious services such as canang or oblation flowers and young coconut leaf. These merchants are very aggressive in looking at the opportunities in Bali. “So, they can take advantage of the opportunities available,” she said. For example, they are selling young coconut leaf or flowers. Balinese merchants have the concept of monotonous sales volume, not develop dynamically. Meanwhile, merchants from outside Bali have a dynamic way of thinking to increase their sales volume and expand market share. “Thus, the competition becomes tighter because they can fill the opportunities that were previously worked on by Balinese people. Now, the opportunities can be filled by people from outside Bali,” she said. These revitalized markets are expected to be maintained sustainably by market operator, merchants and consumers such as through the reduction of plastic waste to carry groceries so that consumers are disciplined. Consumers and merchants are also disciplined to maintain the cleanliness of the traditional market, not to dispose of garbage and waste carelessly that eventually pollutes, makes it muddy and smells bad. Although it is named a traditional market and people’s market, the management also needs to be handled in a modern way to keep up with market developments. (kmb42)

Grabbing foreigner, a Karangasem man sued 1.5 years

DENPASAR - As is already proved to have committed mugging, Komang Kae, aka Patkae from Karangasem, is charged with a 1.5-year criminal sentence. Responding to the demand, the defendant im-

mediately presented a defense and requested a relief of sentence. In the hearing on Friday (Mar. 15), it was revealed that the defendant grabbed a mobile phone belonging to a foreign tourist named

Paola Cannavale. For his action, the defendant is found guilty of violating Article 365 paragraph (2) of the first point of Criminal Code. Public prosecutor Putu Windari Suli added the incriminating con-

sideration is that defendant’s actions can disrupt the image of Bali tourism. The mugging action itself took place on Sunday (Nov. 18) last year at 01:30 on Jalan Dewi Sri, Kuta. At that time, Patkae rode a mo-

torcycle with fake license plates and saw the victim of foreigner Paola Cannavale on an online motorcycle taxi. When the victim was using her mobile phone, Patkae seized it. After that, the perpetrator rushed away. (kmb37)

Iconic Grand Inna Bali Beach hotel gets Rp 2.8trillion renovation

Grand Inna Bali Beach, Bali’s first five-star hotel and one of the island’s most iconic man-made constructions, is getting a massive facelift as its parent company embarks on a Rp 2.8 trillion multi-stage expansion project. The four-year-long project will transform the hotel and its premises into a sprawling and luxurious resort offering several hotels with more than 1,000 rooms and 73 premium villas, including a presidential villa. It will also boast a convention facility that can accommodate up to 10,000 people, a lifestyle art market, an eco-park on 16 hectares of green and forested area, as well as a pier and a helipad. Upon the completion of the project, the area will be rebranded as Kawasan Hotel Indonesia Bali, the largest tourist resort in Sanur. “This is a very historic hotel, the construction of which was initiated by our founding father, President Soekarno, who envisioned Bali as the center of Indonesian tourism. Hopefully, this major revitalization project will bring Sanur, Bali and us closer to his vision,” State-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno said Friday morning in Sanur. A few minutes earlier, Rini officiated the groundbreaking ceremony of phase 1 of the expansion. The ceremony was also attended by Bali Governor Wayan Koster and PT Hotel Indonesia Natour (HIN) president director Iswandi Said. A state-owned enterprise, HIN owns and operates 14 hotels across Sumatra, Java and Bali. Phase 1 will see the construction of two three-star hotels on a 2.4-hectare plot of land on the southern edge of the premises. Bali’s prominent architect Popo Danes is tasked with designing the properties and he will incorporate Sanur’s signature visual elements to the design. “The lobby will be graced with a canopy in the shape of a janggan,” he said, referring to the traditional long-tailed dragon-head kites that rule Sanur’s sky during the windy

months of July and August. The hotels are expected to open in November 2020, with one designed to be a city hotel and another a resort “Once these hotels are ready, staff and workers of the Grand Inna Bali Beach will be transferred to these hotels and we will commence the renovation of the Grand Inna Bali Beach building,” stated Iswandi Said. Built in 1963, the 523-room Grand Inna Bali Beach was one of the first hotels that

graced the white-sandy beach of Sanur, once a quiet village populated by fishermen and Hindu high priest families. Its tall, 10-story building rose to become a visual icon frequently featured in numerous publications and postcards in the 1980s and 1990s. In the late 1970s, the Bali administration issued a building code setting the maximum height of a building at 15 meters, making Grand Inna Bali Beach the tallest and the only 10-story hotel on the island.

“We have carried out a technical review of the structure of Grand Inna Bali Beach and it is still safe. Therefore, much of the planned renovation project will deal with the interior of the hotel,” Iswandi Said added. The revitalization project will be carried out by PT Hotel Karya Indonesia, a consortium of four giant state-owned developers: PT Waskita Realty, PT Hutama Karya Realtindo, PT PP Properti Tbk. and PT Wika Realty Tbk.

City break in Tunis – an overlapping of cultures, religions and history

THINK of a city break and one thinks of Paris, Prague or Rome. Point your compass further south and the Tunisian Capital of Tunis comes sharply into focus. A chance to flirt with the continent of Africa is a mere 2.5 hours flying time from the UK, yet seems a world away from the traditional European offering and still within touching

distance of Italy. The country’s location has been a focus for civilizations that have left their indelible mark on a country strewn with relics from bygone eras. An overlapping of cultures, religions and history makes Tunis well worth a visit. Tunis is recognizably Mediterranean in character, yet bound

together by an Islamic thread and North African climate that hold a seductive charm and mysticism. A century of French colonial rule has created an alluring mix within this part of North Africa. Meandering along Avenue de France, with its’ tree-lined boulevard and pavement café’s set in view of the art deco façade of the Theatre Municipal, one could be forgiven for thinking they were in the South of France. Tunisian men wearing their red Chechiya caps, dark glasses and smoking fruit scented tobacco from their water pipes soon remind you that one has arrived in North Africa. At the far end of the Avenue beyond the Porte de France arch are the winding alleyways of the medina and craft-filled souks leading toward the Ez-Zitoune Mosque at the walled cities core.

cally transformed into a Dar hotel or romantic restaurant. If you can direct yourself out of the maze of winding paths of the medina, then the Tunis beyond has a diverse range of attractions that step even further back to the origins of Tunisia. The Bardo Museum founded in 1882, has one of the world’s greatest collections of Roman Mosaics and is a great starting point to puzzle together many of the archaeological sites that can be visited across Tunisia. The museum was a former Beylical Palace, whose origins date to the 13th century, and the building alone is a masterpiece of Arabian style architecture with domed ceilings, cupolas and majestic galleries to peer over. From here the fashionable suburbs of Tunis are nearby and provide an elevated and alternative vision of the city.

Medina of Tunis – UNESCO World Heritage Centre

A solitary column stands upon a plinth of stonework, head and shoulders above the rest of the stone masonry, which is strewn across a site that used to be the Antonine Thermal Baths. The granite column topped by a white capital was one of eight such columns used to support the vaulted roof of the Frigidarium (cool pool). This historical site is part of the city’s Punic-Roman legacy dating back to 814BC in a suburb of Tunis called Carthage. Very few Punic remnants remain, giving a compelling insight into the great tussles for power between the Roman

The medina, much talked and written about, is the heart of the old town. The origins of Tunis grew out from the warren of dark alleyways, markets, palaces and madrasas that along with the Ez-Zitoune Mosque, still remains the focal point of Tunis. And rightly so, as little has changed over the centuries within this UNESCO listed heritage. Each twist or turn reveals another surprise; glimpses of tiled courtyards hidden behind weathered wood studded doors or one of the medina’s residences sympatheti-

Beyond the Presidential Palace further up the hill is the village of Sidi Bou Said, the Monmatre of North Africa, perched high above the city with a bohemian style and artistic soul. The white washed walls and signature blue studded doors resting under arabesque arches, are depicted on canvas within the many local galleries. Alongside Carthage are the chic resorts of Gammarth and La Marsa that boast some of the best fish restaurants in the city and views over the gulf of Tunis. Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Turkish, French, and the native Berber people have all helped define the Tunis of today. The capital is not a dramatic culture shock for visitors, but just enough to feel you have stepped outside of Europe. Whilst many aspects of life is alien exotic and exciting, the French influence in language, architecture and society makes it easy for weekenders to assimilate quickly with the culture. Tunis has a very relaxed and open feel to it, almost unkempt in a refreshing and charming sense making a weekend date with this part of North Africa almost inevitable. (net)

Market revitalization can raise merchants’ turnover

IBP/eka

DENPASAR — Traditional market revitalization program is considered capable of providing a positive impact on the economy of the community. With this program, the turnover of merchants has increased significantly. On that account, the market revitalization program will continue to be carried out to the markets having not been touched by arrangement. Traditional market revitalization program carried out by Denpasar has been successful indicated by the success in winning the best national award. Three public markets in Denpasar received an award from the Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Tuesday (Mar. 12) at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD, South Tangerang, Banten. The award was handed over to Pasar Agung Peninjoan as the Best National Market Management received by the Chief of Pasar Agung, Nyoman

Suwarta, witnessed by the Mayor Rai Mantra. The other two markets are Nyanggelan Panjer Market, and Poh Gading Market receiving the best market award for Indonesian National Standard (SNI) of type IV and first quality throughout Indonesia. The people’s market revitalization program carried out by the Denpasar municipality is an effort to increase the dignity of merchants so that later it can grow the people’s economy. Until now, almost all the people’s markets in the city of

Denpasar have been touched by the revitalization program posing the mandate of the Mayor Rai Mantra to the Denpasar Industry and Trade Agency. Mayor of Denpasar, Rai Mantra, said that market revitalization became an ongoing program in Denpasar City. It does not only revitalize physically, but also pays attention to management including the managerial skills. Until now, his government has revitalized 30 public markets. Acting Head of the Denpasar Trade and Industry Agency, I.B. Anom Suniem, added the number of revitalized markets in Denpasar used funds from regional budget (APBD) and national budget (APBN) for a total of 30 markets. Especially for the revitalization of 11 markets, the government

utilized co-administration fund of the ministry. With the revitalization program, the traditional markets formerly known for being muddy has now become clean, neat and well organized. Moreover, the management of merchants is already well organized so that their turnover increased tremendously. Similarly, he claimed the Waringin Sari Kerta Market will get SNI following the previous three markets namely the Agung Market, Peninjoan, Nyanggelan Market, Panjer, and the Poh Gading Market at Ubung Kaja. Increasing merchants’ turnover The traditional market revitalization program having been carried out so far is considered to have a positive impact on merchants and buyers around the market. Moreover, a number of traditional

markets having carried out this program have showed a significant increase in turnover. For example, the turnover of Agung Market, Peninjoan, Sindu Market, Sanur, and Renon Market, showed increasing development after the markets are revitalized. For instance, before revitalization in 2011 Agung Market had a monthly turnover of IDR 2-3 billion, in 2014 surged to IDR 14 billion and in 2018 returned to surge to IDR 196 billion. Likewise, after being revitalized the turnover of Nyanggelan Market increased from IDR 2.5 billion in 2013 to IDR 6.3 billion in 2014. Then, the Poh Gading Market revitalized in 2013 with additional revitalization in 2015 also showed increased turnover from IDR 3 billion to IDR 3.74 billion. (ara)

Colombian government will visit Bali

DENPASAR — Colombian government in the near future plans to make an official visit to Bali. One of the agendas is to meet with Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, to strengthen relations. This was conveyed by the Ambassador of Colombia, Juan C. Valencia, when meeting the Governor Wayan Koster in his office on Friday (Mar. 15). According to Juan, in March there are 27 mayors of Colombia

planning to do a comparative study in Bali. Then, next April is the turn of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, Maria Angela Holguin, to have a closer look at Bali. Visiting plan of the Colombian Foreign Minister is in line with the policies of the Colombian government driving for the orange economy or creative economy. Bali is considered as one of the regions having succeeded in developing the

creative economy very well. “He (the Colombian Foreign Minister) wants to see Ubud and visit other successful tourist destinations in Bali,” he said. Juan added that Colombian government also wants to learn how to manage eco-tourism. In the future, Bali is also expected to be able to conduct sister city cooperation with one of the mainstay tourist destinations in Colombia, the city of Cartagena. Cartagena is one of the

tourist destinations located in the Caribbean Islands having been famous for its historic buildings. “We want to learn about tourism together,” he explained. In the field of education, continued Juan, the Colombian government also offers to provide free Spanish language courses for four months for Balinese people. Last year, this program was implemented at ITB. If it can be done it in Bali,

certainly it will add the skills of tourism guides on the Island of the Gods. Governor Wayan Koster welcomed the planned arrival of the state guests to Bali. He would be happy to meet with the Colombian Foreign Minister next April. “It is a great honor and I will definitely accept the arrival on this Island of the Gods,” said the governor who is also Chairman of the PDI-P Bali.

After last eruption of Mt. Agung

Panca Wali Krama still runs, pilgrims throng Besakih for worship

AMLAPURA - On Friday night (Mar. 15), Mount Agung returned to erupt by releasing a puff of smoke up to 1,000 meters high on the summit. Nevertheless, the eruption did not affect the implementation of the Panca Wali Karama ritual at Besakih Temple. On Saturday (Mar. 16), pilgrims still looked crowded to say prayers to the Besakih Temple. Chairperson of the Ritual Committee, Jro Mangku Widiartha, said on Saturday (Mar. 16) that it is true that Mount Agung erupted again last Friday. However, the eruption had no effect on the implementation of Panca Wali Krama ritual at Besakih. “There is no effect even though it erupts again. The community is accustomed to seeing the eruption of Mount Agung, so the implementation of the ceremony continued as usual. In the past, people might be easily panic when seeing the volcano erupting,” he said. Widiarta added that after the eruption last Friday, on Saturday adequately crowded pilgrims still came to make a prayer. Likewise, the other ceremonial activities stayed to run normally. “Even though there is eruption, the pilgrims are still crowded to worship. The eruption of last Friday has no impact,” he said. For this reason, he appealed to all the Hindus wishing to come and worship at Besakih in a series of the ritual are welcomed. Pilgrims do not need to worry too much because Besakih is still 7-7.5 kilometers from the summit. So, it remains safe if pilgrims wish to say prayers. Meanwhile, in accordance with the directions of the PVMBG, activities are

not allowed to be carried out within a radius of 4 kilometers. “Don’t be afraid. Moreover, the prayer to ask for salvation is welcomed,” said Jro Widiartha. As reported previously, after being quiet for a few days, Mount Agung returned to erupt on Friday (Mar. 15). At this time, the eruption is quite large because the column of ash released reaches a height of 1,000 meter above the crater shaft. Nevertheless, VONA is still orange and has not disrupted flight activities at Denpasar’s Ngurah Rai International Airport. Volcano Sub-Division Head for Eastern Region, Devy Kamil Syahbana, stated that Mount Agung had indeed experienced a small scale eruption. He also added the eruption occurred at 06:27 with the height of the ash column observed reaching 1,000 m above the top of the crater. “The eruption is over. The ash column is observed gray with a medium intensity that tended to flow westward. This eruption is recorded on a seismogram with a maximum amplitude of 23 mm and duration of 1 minute 23 seconds. The VONA is still orange so that it does not disrupt the flight activities in the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar,” he said. (kmb41)

Eradicating in a roundup, effective way to eradicate rat attack BANGLI - Bangli Agriculture, Food Security and Fisheries Agency (PKP) already deployed Plant Pest Organism Control (POPT) officers to the field to directly observe rat pest attacks on agricultural land in Susut subdistrict. According to the Head of the PKP Bangli, Wayan Sukartana, the

only most effective way to eradicate rat attacks on farming fields is by eradication in a roundup. “The only solution is indeed by eradication in a roundup because they hide in their burrows. Even though one to two heads can be killed with poisons, in their burrow still live some broods that give birth to mouse pups,” said

Sukartana on Friday (Mar. 15). He explained that such raid is a technique to eradicate rats by fumigating with poison and killing them directly from their nests. So far, this method has been applied to control rat pests in several subak groups in Bangli. If based on the officers’ observations later the raid techniques are needed to eradicate rat pests in three subak areas at Abuan village, namely Subak Piting, Subak Umadesa, and Subak Dauh Setra, the method will be carried out again with local farmers. Responding to the existence of farmers at Subak Piting that surrendered to dealing with rat pests by abandoning their fields, Sukartana said that such a thing should not be necessary to happen. Pests and plant diseases are commonplace for farmers. Nevertheless, he also acknowledged the disappointment felt by farmers due to crop failure. According to Sukartana, rather than being frustrated and allowing the land to be idle, farmers are advised to change their cropping pat-

terns. Farmers are also expected to always synergize with agricultural field extension (PPL) officers. “If the land is left idle, farmers will surely suffer losses,” he said. In addition to direct extermination efforts, to overcome rat pests that attack agricultural land, farmers are also advised to take niskala (psychical) endeavor by organizing ceremony. As previously reported, the rat attack at Subak Piting, Abuan village, Susut, is very disturbing to farmers. Malignant rat attacks have caused farmers to frequently experience crop failures. Due to facing rat attack, a number of farmers are desperate and now choosing to abandon their fields. One of the local subak farmers, Nengah Sadia, revealed that Subak Piting is one of the few subak groups at Abuan village facing the most violent attack from rats. The rat pest attack is felt to have occurred during three harvest periods. From the 0.32 hectare of paddy fields he cultivated, lately he was unable to get any crops because

his paddy plants were attacked by rats. Necessarily, from such land area he should be able to get up to 35 sacks of grain. “From the three harvest times, only the first harvest could result in grain. Moreover, the produce was only one sack,” he regretted. He said the rats tend to attack rice plants of two months old, when rice plants produce grains. Not infrequently, the rat pests also attack rice plants remaining one and a half months old. After failing to plant rice, he once tried replacing it with other types of plants such as cassava and garden balsam. Unfortunately, the results remained nil as the plants were also damaged by rats. To overcome the attack of rats, he claimed to have tried to make various efforts ranging from providing rat poisons to carrying out ceremonies to expel them. But the results remained nil. The population of rats stays a lot. “Now, I am forced to leave my land empty. It will be useless if planted, there’s no result,” he added. (kmb40)

‘Horror & anger’ in Christchurch hospital as medics battle to save lives CHRISTCHURCH - In a city battered by quakes, Christchurch’s medics were tragically well-schooled in tackling mass casualty events -- but none could have prepared for the injuries unleashed by a white supremacist with assault rifles bent on mass murder.

Doctors, surgeons and nurses have been working around the clock at Christchurch Hospital since Friday’s mass shooting at two mosques, frantically trying to stem bleeding, patch up shattered bodies and save lives. On Sunday, 34 patients remained in the hospital in Christchurch, twelve of them still in critical condition. Another of the injured -- fouryear-old girl Alin Alsati -- was in intensive care at a specialist children’s hospital in Auckland. Greg Robertson, the chief surgeon at Christchurch Hospital, spoke on Sunday of the sheer magnitude of Friday’s massacre. “Horror, stunned, anger,” he said, describing how his team of doctors, nurses and surgeons felt as the wounded poured in -- initially in private cars and then in an everincreasing stream of ambulances. This is not the first time the city has dealt with mass casualties. A series of earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 killed more than 180 people and left many more injured, honing the medical skills of the city’s doctors to deal with a sudden influx of complex wounds. “I don’t think there’s any doubt the earthquake did have a bearing on it -- the old adage practice makes perfect works on a lot of things and that’s part of our processes,” he said. But he admitted the horrifying,

man-made nature of the latest tragedy had a much greater psychological impact on staff. “The earthquake was something that we couldn’t control,’ he said. “It’s the fact that someone has done this to our people, our friends, our colleagues, this is just unbelievable.” - Brutal ammunition The kind of injuries surgeons were facing this time around were also particularly horrifying. Robertson said his teams do sometimes encounter gunshot wounds but never on such a scale. New Zealand usually witnesses only 50 murders a year. Suddenly one town had that many people murdered in a single day and dozens more wounded -- some struck by multiple bullets. Many of those brought to the hospital have been in and out of operating theatres multiple times, as surgeons prioritise the worst parts of the injuries -- such as stemming the bleeding, clearing blocked airways, trying to save limbs -- before dealing with the less severe wounds. First responders and paramedics played a crucial role. “I guess that’s reflected in the fact we’ve had only one death in a patient that arrived at the hospital. Those who got here, have a chance,” Robertson said. It is likely Pakistani national

A man looks at flowers left in tribute to victims outside the entrance of the hospital in Christchurch on March 16, 2019, after a shooting incident at two mosques in Christchurch the previous day. Mohammed Amin Nas only survived because of the paramedics. His son Yasir Amin told AFP they encountered the alleged assailant -- Australian national Brenton Tarrant -- driving outside the Al Noor mosque. “He took out this big gun and just shot at us as we were running,” Yasir said. His father was struck four times. Yasir called emergency services who spent 10 minutes treating his father where he lay before rushing him to hospital. He has been into surgery three

times and remains in intensive care. On a normal day, Christchurch would have three acute surgery theatres operating. On Sunday, seven were up and running with people working around the clock. Tarrant appears to have chosen ammunition designed to cause maximum trauma, Robertson said. “These are not something that goes through,” he said, referring to the type of bullets. “We’ve got a lot of fragments, shotgun injuries.” He said those treating patients would inevitably have their own

traumatic memories. “There will undoubtedly be, as we saw after the earthquakes, a delayed mental stress type response to this whole thing.” For now, he said, people were focused on saving lives. But colleagues would keep a close eye on each other in the weeks ahead. “Most people are coping with things pretty well when you’re doing things,” he said. “It’s when you go home and you think about it, that’s when the issues start to declare themselves.” (afp)

New Zealand gunman’s family ‘shattered’ by his deeds

SYDNEY - The family of the Australian man arrested for the slaughter of 50 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand said Sunday they were stunned and “shattered” by his horrific deed. “We’re all gob-smacked, we don’t know what to think,” Brenton Tarrant’s grandmother, Marie Fitzgerald, told Australia’s Channel Nine network. “It’s just so much... to take in that somebody in our family could do anything like this,” Fitzgerald said from her home in New South Wales state. Tarrant grew up in the small town of Grafton and showed no signs he would later become enthralled with white nationalist ideology while

travelling in Europe and then turn that hatred into violence. “It’s only since he travelled overseas I think that the boy has changed, completely,” she said, adding that as a teen, Tarrant was interested mainly in computer games. He began travelling after his father died several years ago, and has been living in recent years in the southern New Zealand city of Dunedin. But he returned home a year ago for the birthday of his sister, and Fitzgerald said there were no signs he had undergone a transformation. “He was just his normal self,” she said.

Tarrant’s sister and mother, who still live in the area, have been placed under police guard and even family members can’t contact them, she said. “The police will do their duty and keep them protected, which is what they need, and no phone contact, they’ve said you can’t contact them,” she said. Tarrant’s uncle, Terry Fitzgerald, said they learned of his role in the massacre at two mosques in Christchurch from the television. “First up I said, ‘No it couldn’t be’, but then I saw his photo,” he said. “Now everybody’s just devastated... shattered, that’s the word,” added Marie Fitzgerald.

BUSINESS UK unveils new tariff regime in event of ‘no-deal’ Brexit

ness and consumers while protecting vulnerable industries.” The plan is controversial because Britain has enjoyed free trade with the European Union for more 40 years. The proposed tariffs could lead to higher prices for goods such as cars, clothes, beef, chicken and pork imported from the continent. The Bank of England has estimated that inflation could rise from around 2 percent now to almost 7 percent within months of a disorderly “nodeal” Brexit. For example, whole fresh chicken would be subject to a tariff of 19.60 euros (16.83 pounds) per 100 kilograms. That would increase the price of a whole chicken by about 7.8 percent, based on the current advertised price at Tesco, Britain’s biggest supermarket chain. But the tariff plan is full of anomalies. British sheep farmers would be protected by tariffs, but vegetable growers would not. Finished cars will face tariffs, but car parts won’t as trade officials seek to protect the supply chains of British carmakers. Interest groups of all kinds reacted with outrage, even those who had succeeded in securing some measure of safeguard. Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said the announcement does not resolve the devastating effect that no deal would have on the industry. “No policy on tariffs can come close to compensating for the disruption, cost and job losses that would result from no deal. It’s staggering that we are in this position with

new laws will be introduced to crack down on anyone trying to exploit the system. Authorities don’t plan to introduce checks or controls at Irish Sea ports, but will rely on intelligence to police tariff dodgers. But underlying the complex nature of trade matters, businesses in Northern Ireland cried foul, arguing that the tariff measures made the playing field uneven. Colm Shannon, CEO of the Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade, said EU companies would be able to get access to the U.K., but companies in Northern Ireland could potentially face tariffs if they try to export into the EU. “It is an unfair advantage to EU

companies wanting to export into Northern Ireland,” he said. “Our little companies will suffer.” Even as the government prepared for the worstcase scenario, Treasury chief Philip Hammond warned that the economy would be placed at risk if the country crashed out without a deal. “We are not where I hoped we would be today,” Hammond said while delivering his Spring Statement, a budget spending snapshot. “Our economy is fundamentally robust, but the uncertainty that I hoped we would lift last night, still hangs over us. We cannot allow that to continue: It is damaging our economy and it is damaging our standing and reputation in the world.” (ap)

Fed to hold fire on interest rates as world economy slows

There is virtually no chance the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the coming week, since policymakers have all but promised to hold their fire as the global economy slows. With inflation still tame as US economic growth decelerates in 2019, economists also say Fed officials will once again lower the number of rate hikes they expect

this year, from the two projected in December. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is due to announce the second policy decision of the year on Wednesday by the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee. The benchmark interest rates is now in a range of 2.25 to 2.5 percent and futures markets see no more rate hikes in 2019. And investors now put the odds at

Gig is a traditional means of transportation taking advantage of the horse power. To be able to enjoy the atmosphere of Denpasar city through gig rides for free, just come on Saturday and Sunday at the office of the BPPD Denpasar. This attraction starts at 9:00 until 15:00. However, passengers should fill out the participant’s log book put at the entrance of the office. When riding a gig, guests can invite their sister, brother or parents. By all means, there are eight gigs that always line up while waiting for the public or tourists to enjoy the atmosphere of the city. A gig must not be ridden by more than four people. After getting enough passenger, the driver of the gig then drive to the center of the Bali’s capital. “My children are very happy to be invited to ride a gig,” said Ni Made Suparmi, a mother of 2 sons from Karangasem living at Penatih. The route in the city of Denpasar is passed through for around 18-20 minutes. The journey starts from the office of the Regional Tourism Promotion Board (BPPD), moving towards the left via Jalan Surapati, turn right towards Jalan Kapten Agung, turn right towards Jalan Baliton and then turn right towards Jalan Udayana. The journey continues to pass in the area of ??the Catur Muka Statue, go to Jalan Veteran at Inna Bali Hotel and then move towards Jalan Gatot Kaca, turn left passing Jalan Arjuna and then enter Jalan Gajah Mada. After crossing the area of ??the Catur Muka statue, passengers are taken to return to the BPPD Building. “Foreign tourists also often ride a gig, but not on Sundays,” said one of the coaches commonly called Pak Ketut (rejecting to mention his surname).

Britain says it won’t impose new checks and controls on goods that cross the land border between the Republic of Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland. As a result, the proposed tariffs won’t apply to products crossing the border. Though there are fears that Northern Ireland will become the back door for EU goods to enter the U.K.,

And Fed Governor Lael Brain-

ard said it was time for “a period of watchful waiting” on policy. Her remarks marked a significant change: Six months earlier, Brainard -- known as a “dove” who is less aggressive on raising rates -- suggested the Fed would continue raising rates through 2019, not pausing to stop at “neutral,” the rates that neither stimulates nor slows the economy.

LONDON - Business leaders reacted with fury Wednesday after the British government unveiled a temporary tariff regime that could see higher prices on an array of imports ranging from cars to butter, if the country crashes out of the European Union later this month without a deal. The tariffs, which would last for up to 12 months, were published hours before lawmakers are expected to vote against the possibility of the country leaving the EU on the scheduled Brexit date of March 29 without a deal. Lawmakers are expected to reject that proposition, a day after they overwhelmingly voted against Prime Minister Theresa May’s divorce agreement for a second time. “What we are hearing is the biggest change in terms of trade this country has faced since the mid-19th century being imposed on this country with no consultation with business, no time to prepare. This is no way to run a country,” said Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the Confederation of British Industry. “This is a sledgehammer for our economy.” The tariff proposals come amid concerns that a “no-deal” Brexit would have a catastrophic impact on the British economy, driving up costs for businesses, reducing investment and threatening jobs. The government said the plan actually represents a “modest liberalization” of trade rules, with no tariffs on 87 percent of imports by value. Though a large chunk of products won’t be facing any extra cost, officials in the Department for International Trade are proposing tariffs and quotas on some goods to help British industries that are currently protected by high EU tariffs or face unfair trading practices, such as state subsidies. In a statement, the department said the tariff regime is “designed to minimize costs to busi-

700 Participants from 12 Countries, Enliven 101 Bali Travel Sketch International Edition

About 700 participants from 12 countries around the world participated in the 101 Travel Sketch Bali International Edition. The event held by PHM Hospitality was centered in Bali and lasted for three days (Mar. 1-3). The event began at The Haven Suites Bali Berawa with the Travel Sketch program on the beautiful Berawa Beach, Perancak Temple and Fishermen Village and sharing sessions followed by dinner and the opening of 101 Travel Sketch. On the second night, it was held a gala dinner at Puri Lukisan Ubud, the oldest and most inspiring art museum in Bali. But before that, sketchers freely chose their own activities, such as exploring and sketching the serene Ubud villages, joining workshops in extraordinary places, such as Ubud Palace, Ubud Art Market,

Saraswati Temple, Puri Lukisan Museum, and Subak Juwuk Manis (Sawah Ubud). The 101 Travel Sketch is a continuous activity having full support from the Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf) and the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia which also supports and sponsors this 101 Travel Sketch event. “This event supports the unity in the arts and creates strong ties and friendship among all parties involved,” said Budi Tirtawisata, CEO of Panorama Group, recently. Budi Tirtawisata stated the event supported by The Haven Suites Bali Berawa, The Haven Bali Seminyak, Frii Bali Echo Beach and Fontana Hotel Bali, a PHM Collection, is quite challenging, especially on an international scale. On that account, he was proud as it had run successfully. He hoped the 101 Travel

Sketch will continue to inspire and develop in the coming year. “This 101 Travel Sketch attracts sketch communities from many countries in the world to come to Bali,” he added. Dewa Ayu Laksmiadi, Head of the Marketing Division at the Bali Ministry of Tourism who attended the event representing Deputy Governor of Bali said that she was happy and very much believed in the original and unique events like the 101 Travel Sketch needed to be supported. With such high enthusiasm, her party will continue to support the 101 Travel Sketch Bali International Edition as an annual event in Bali. The 101 Travel Sketch program was then ended with a Fun-Auction and Sketch Exchange program at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. A total of 5 sketches

were auctioned and could collect fund as much as IDR 19 million. The funds were donated to Smile Train Indonesia, an organization that focuses on helping children

Bucking the crisis, Greek microbreweries bubble to the fore

EVIA - Bent over a barrel, Greek microbrewer Sophocles Panagiotou lovingly draws a measure of his Septem Red Ale into a glass cylinder and expertly transfers it to a glass. A decade ago at the start of the financial crisis, the chemistry

graduate and former winemaker took a chance on building his

Septem microbrewery in a family field on the island of Evia, some

200 kilometres (120 miles) east of Athens. “It was a crazy idea. At the time, they looked at me as if I were an alien,” Panagiotou told AFP, in his fully-automated factory and bottling plant, which now produces 12 different beer labels. Tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises were obliterated by the economic crisis in 2010 that brought Greece to its knees and sent unemployment soaring. But the microbrewery sector managed to grow amid the ruins, as local products benefited from a fall in imported goods. Greece had fewer than a dozen breweries 10 years ago. Today, there are 45 microbreweries, said Panagiotou, recently elected president of the Union of Greek Breweries, which represents both micro and bigger firms. - Change in habits -

ARIS MESSINIS / AFP

Greek microbrewer Sophocles Panagiotou fills a glass with beer on February 28, 2019, on the island of Evia, some 200 kilometres (124 miles) east of Athens.

The financial crisis, which saw Athens granted a eurozone bailout in return for swingeing austerity measures, helped spur the microbrewery sector. Foreign suppliers began demanding upfront cash payments that many Greek companies could not meet. “Habits changed during the crisis,” says Yannis Kefalas, a beer enthusiast and brewer. “Demand is now centred on local products as a way to help the Greek economy.”

The departure of the Philippines follows the court being hit in recent years by high-profile acquittals and moves by several nations to drop out. Manila moved to quit after the body launched a preliminary examination in 2018 into President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug crackdown that has killed thousands and drawn

international censure. Duterte’s drug war is his signature policy initiative and he defends it fiercely, especially from international critics like Western leaders and institutions which he says do not care about his country. However, court officials have said the preliminary probe launched by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda in February 2018 into possible crimes against humanity in the drug war would continue. Under the court’s rules, any matter under consideration before a nation leaves the court is still under its jurisdiction. (afp)

- Wine, ouzo, then beer -

Given that Greece is more commonly associated with wine and spirits and does not have a major beer culture, the rise of microbreweries is perhaps even more surprising. The country consumes and exports wine and there is also strong demand for traditional alcoholic beverages such as ouzo and tsipouro. Greece is among the bottom three beer consumers in the European Union, with an annual average of 35 litres (74 US pints) drunk per person, just above France and Italy. While microbeers are becoming more popular, the most widely consumed beers are produced by Athinaiki, one of Greece’s biggest breweries. It makes more than five different brands of mostly lagers and imports around 10. (afp)

Perusing the supermarket shelves for local beers, Spyros Paraskevopoulos said that microbeers offered “extraordinary taste”. “They are all so different, depending on the region they come from,” he enthused. Three years ago, Kefalas decided to quit Athens and relocate to his home island of Ikaria, where he opened his microbrewery, named Ikariotissa after the island. He now exports to Germany and aims also to tap markets in Sweden, Canada and the United States.

Orangutan recovers after shot with 74 airgun pellets in Indonesia

An orangutan is slowly recovering after being shot with 74 airgun pellets in Indonesian, an official said Saturday. The 30-year-old female was found severely wounded in Aceh province last Sunday after officials received a tipoff from villagers. She was found in critical condition with her one-month baby under a jackfruit tree on a plantation owned by a villager. “The orangutans came to a villager’s plantation and they were considered as threats by the owner who then attempted to expel the animals,” said Sapto Aji Prabowo, chief of Aceh Conservation Agency. Officials immediately rescued the animals but the baby died from malnutrition. Almost a week later, officials say the ape, who’s been given the name Hope, is slowly recovering. “Hope is getting better, she’s

starting to... eat,” Sapto Aji Prabowo told AFP. Orangutans are critically endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with only about 100,000 worldwide. Plantation workers and villagers are sometimes known to attack what they consider a pest, while poachers capture the animals to sell as pets. “We will investigate whether this was just an incident or (if) a mafia has been involved,” said Jefrizal, the law enforcement head of Aceh Conservation Agency, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. A string of fatal attacks on the apes have been blamed on farmers and hunters. Last year, four Indonesian men were arrested over the killing of an orangutan shot some 130 times with an air rifle.

United Development, an Islamic party, is among a string of parties backing Widodo’s April 17 re-election bid in the world’s biggest Muslim majority country. The president’s campaign team spokesman expressed surprise

that one of his closest confidantes was arrested, but insisted the charges were unrelated to next month’s polls. “Of course we were shocked to hear this and we’re concerned,” Fikri Satari told broadcaster Kompas TV. “But this is not related to the presidential election. It’s a personal case,” he said. “It’s evidence of the government’s commitment to upholding justice, especially in corruption cases.” The Southeast Asian nation is riddled with corruption at all levels of society and its parliament is widely viewed as one of its most graft-hit institutions. In 2018, ex-parliamentary speaker Setya Novanto was jailed for 15 years for accepting bribes and millions of dollars in kick-

backs. The arrest of Romahurmuziy, 44, marked the second time the head of the Islamic party has been arrested in a corruption case. In 2014, then United Development chairman Suryadharma Ali, who was also religious affairs minister, was arrested for helping relatives skip a long waiting list to go on the annual Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. He was later sentenced to six years in prison. Some 8,000 people are vying for seats in parliament and regional councils, with about 192 million registered voters eligible to cast a ballot next month. Widodo is leading polls in the race for the presidency against challenger Prabowo Subianto, a former military general. (afp)

‘Best race ever’: Bottas upstages Hamilton at Australian Grand Prix

MELBOURNE - Valtteri Bottas upstaged his Mercedes world champion team-mate Lewis Hamilton Sunday to win the season-opening Australian Formula One Grand Prix in a sizzling performance that he called his “best ever”.

The flying Finn started second on the grid but got a jump on the polesitting Briton at the first corner and never looked back, scorching round the Albert Park circuit to take the chequered flag a massive 20.9 seconds ahead of Hamilton. Red Bull’s precocious Max Verstappen came third to join them on the podium after audaciously overtaking Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel midway through the race. “How about that! Yes!” said Bottas over the team radio after also taking the new bonus point for the fastest lap. “I don’t know what just happened. I don’t know what to say. It was definitely my best race ever,” he said after. “I felt so good and the car was so good. Four-time world champion Vettel had to settle for fourth, trailing in 57.1 seconds behind Bottas. Ferrari partner Charles Leclerc was fifth, with Kevin Magnussen in a Haas sixth.

Turtle breeding at Deluang Sari

TANJUNG BENOA - Deluang Sari, a little delta overgrown by mangrove forests with coastal white sand and calm waves, is situated overlooking the sea recreation center of Benoa Harbor. Since it has an intact ecological system, clean beaches and lush mangrove forests, this place was then developed for breeding sea turtles. At

low tide, we can get there on foot in the sidelines of the mangrove trees of Tanjung Benoa, while at high tides we have to cross by boat from Benoa Harbor for about 10 minutes. Aside from seeing turtle breeding, visitors coming here can also see different types of fighting cocks, animals and wild birds as well as a small temple.

As a tourist destination, this small island has also been equipped with restaurants, souvenir shops and animal attractions. There is a pond or tank provided to treat a turtle from hatching to adulthood. Turtles here are aged up to seventy years. Tourists who come here can directly hold, feed, take

pictures or enter the breeding pond area and play with the turtles. In addition to seeing the turtle breeding places, tourists can see various kinds of fighting cock, bat, iguana, foxes and wild birds in cages contained in Deluang Sari. The beginning of the area used as a breeding center because

turtles are animal protected and they do not have another place for breeding plus again with the rise of turtle meat traded by irresponsible people. To preserve the turtles through Tanjung Benoa organizations assisted by the World Wildife Fund (WWF) and the government, then the location was chosen as the local breeding because it has an intact ecological system, clean and sandy sloping beaches, so it is suitable for turtle spawn. This location radius from Denpasar city roughly 27 miles and approximately 35 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport using a motor vehicle by first crossing utilize the motorboat from the port of Benoa. To support tourism, the place featured restaurant, souvenir shops and animal show attraction. If you come to Bali, the breeding animals in Deluang Sari could be one of recommended place to be visited. (IBP/net)

- Frustrated Hamilton Bottas, whose last triumph was at the Abu Dhabi season finale in 2017, was overshadowed last year by Hamilton, failing to win a race, hampered by mechanical problems and bad luck but was fast in qualifying and only narrowly edged out of pole position. “In the beginning it was all about managing the race and building the gap,” Bottas said. “I knew I could do it, I’ve done it before, it was about being at my best level.” Bottas, now in his third year with Mercedes, knows he must perform with promising Frenchman Esteban Ocon, 22, waiting in the wings as the team’s reserve driver. He delivered in spades on Sunday for his fourth Grand Prix win in his 119th race. “It’s a good weekend for the team,” said Hamilton. “Valtteri drove an incredible race today so he deserved it. “We have some work to do, (but) it is more than we could have hoped for as a team.” Starting on soft tyres on a fine day, Bottas got an electric

DALLAS - Errol Spence Jr. solidified his status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world with 12-round masterclass performance over challenger Mikey Garcia on Saturday. The 29-year-old Spence easily beat Garcia by a unanimous decision to retain his International Boxing Federation title in a welterweight homecoming bout in front of 47,500 fans. Spence dominated Garcia throughout with a stinging jab and a barrage of combinations and his hometown crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas cheered wildly as he used his size and reach advantage to put on a boxing clinic. “My motivation was fighting in front of my hometown crowd,” Spence said. “This is where I started it from a pup. From the amateurs all the way up. “This is my core fan base. I felt

good and I wanted to put on a great performance.” The fight was hyped as a showdown of two unbeaten boxers but it didn’t turn out that way with one judge scoring it 120-107 for Spence. The other two had it 120108 and 120-108. Garcia never landed more than 10 punches in a single round. Spence landed 375 total punches to just 75 for Garcia, who was fighting for the first time as a welterweight after moving up two divisions. Spence has been avoided by most of the top fighters in the division but this victory appears to have set up a future showdown with Filipino Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao appeared in the ring after the final bell and said he was willing to face the much younger Spence. “I am looking at the winner of this fight. Spence wants to fight

me,” said Pacquiao. “I am hoping to be back here, soon.” Spence said he also wants to fight Pacquiao. “He is a legend of the sport. It would be my honour to fight him next.” Spence improved to 25-0 but failed to get the knockout he wanted against Garcia in his third defence as his KO streak was stopped at 11 fights. This is just the fourth time in his career that the former 2012 US Olympian didn’t knock out his opponent. “People said I couldn’t box,” said Spence. “You saw it today. I can box, I can move my head. I can do it if I want to.” Garcia, who was trying to win a title in his fifth different weight class, dropped to 39-1 with 30 KOs. “He is the truth. He is for real. He came out with a game plan, kept his distance. I couldn’t make adjustments,” Garcia said. (afp)

Wolves shock ‘poor’ Man United to reach FA Cup semis

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted Manchester United produced the poorest performance of his reign as Wolves sent them crashing out of the FA Cup on Saturday with a 2-1 quarter-final win.

possession and we never put their keeper under pressure or their defenders under pressure.”

But United’s interim manager was remarkably upbeat despite his side’s flat performance, saying they had plenty more to fight for as they aim for a top-four finish in the Premier League and look forward to a Champions League last-eight tie against Barcelona. United were well beaten by an eager Wolves side who scored two goals in the space of six minutes in the second half through Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota, with Marcus Rashford’s injury-time effort a consolation. Solskjaer had presided over a run of just two defeats in 18 games

But Solskjaer delivered a positive message to fans. “We’re in a great position in the league, we’ve got the Champions League,” he said. “You can’t sulk for too long. We’ve got so much to play for. Man United in April and May always find their form. We can’t wait for the challenge when Barcelona come.” Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo was delighted after his side reached the club’s first FA Cup semi-final for 21 years. “It means a lot of course. The FA Cup is the oldest competition and we played

since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the FA Cup. But they now go into the international break with back-to-back defeats after losing to Arsenal last week, with Rashford’s goal their only real chance of the game. “Today was the poorest performance we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Solskjaer. “It was a big step backwards. There was a lack of urgency going forwards and a lack of forward passing and a lack of regains. “We felt too comfortable in

well,” he said. “We achieved it with the amazing support of our fans believing in us and the noise was fantastic. “When we achieved it, we achieved it together. Now we have to prepare for the next one.” Wolves had the best chance of the first half, two minutes before the break. Ruben Neves sent Jota galloping clear for a one-on-one with Sergio Romero, but the United goalkeeper beat his curling shot away. After the break Romero kept United in the game with two superb saves to deny a bullet header from Jimenez and a rising chip from Joao Moutinho as Wolves got on top. Wolves scored the goal they had been threatening in the 70th minute. Jimenez was forced backwards with his back to goal after being

crowded out following a superb run by Moutinho, who breezed through three challenges cutting in from the left. But the Mexican swivelled 180 degrees after getting a lucky bounce off Paul Pogba and drilled a low shot past Romero. Six minutes later Wolves put the tie beyond United when Neves sent Jota racing clear on the counter and the Portuguese left Luke Shaw in a heap before firing an unstoppable left-foot drive inside Romero’s near post. Referee Martin Atkinson showed United defender Victor Lindelof a red card for lunging in on Jota but it was overturned by VAR. Rashford pulled one back with a shot on the turn in the fifth minute of the five added one, but it was too little, too late. (afp)

Rooney bags first MLS hat trick in D.C. romp

Former England star Wayne Rooney scored three goals on Saturday night to lead D.C. United to a crushing 5-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. Rooney registered his first three goals of the new season and also his first hat trick since signing on with Major League Soccer in July 2018. He now has five multi-goal games. Lucas Rodriguez and Ulises Segura also scored for host D.C. United, who peppered the Salt Lake goal with 22 shots. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid made two stops to earn his third straight shutout as D.C. United is the lone team to have not allowed a goal this season. Rooney scored on a penalty kick in the 34th minute and then added another with a chip shot over the goalkeeper in the 41st minute. He completed the hat trick with a perfectly-timed sliding score at the 65th minute of the second half. Elsewhere, Uruguay international Nicolas Lodeiro set up one goal and scored an audacious penalty as the Seattle Sounders maintained their 100 percent start to the season with a 4-2 victory at Chicago Fire. The Sounders made it three wins out of three after taking control of the game with two unanswered goals in the opening 15 minutes at

Chicago’s SeatGeek Stadium. Spanish winger Victor Rodriguez fired Seattle into the lead after eight minutes, tucking away a low finish at the far post after good work down the right by Jordan Morris. Lodeiro then created Seattle’s second, splitting open Chicago’s defence with a sublime pass to Morris. The US international striker still had plenty to do, but adjusted his body position brilliantly to steer a finish beyond Chicago goalkeeper David Ousted to make it 2-0. Seattle extended their lead early in the second half when Rodriguez was bundled over in the area on 49 minutes, allowing Lodeiro to step up and chip a Panenka penalty in off the underside of the bar. Chicago hit back with goals from Raheem Edwards and Fabian Herbers but Raul Ruidiaz’s late goal made the game safe for Seattle, who now lead the Western Conference standings with a maximum of nine points. Minnesota, who have also taken maximum points from their opening two games, can draw level later Saturday with a win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. Los Angeles FC, the only other team to make a perfect start to the season, face New York City FC on Sunday. (afp)

Ranieri’s Champions League ambitions dented by SPAL

Claudio Ranieri’s Roma fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at struggling SPAL on Saturday, missing a golden opportunity to close the gap on Champions League rivals Inter Milan and AC Milan. Milan are third, one point ahead of Inter, with Roma in fifth three points back in the battle for elite European football next season, ahead of Sunday’s Milan derby. Ranieri had won his first match after taking over from sacked Eusebio Di Francesco -- 2-1 against Empoli -- but his side fell to their relegation-threatened hosts, leaving Roma’s season in the balance after their Champions League elimination at the hands of Porto and 3-0 beating by city rivals Lazio. “I expected more. Our opponents were a team and we weren’t,” said Ranieri of Roma, who also lost the reverse fixture 2-0 in October. “There’s a plan in place if Roma get into the Champions League,” he warned his players. “If we don’t, quite a few of these guys could change clubs. “We lost to a team who earn less than us, who are more humble than us, more determined than us, who are up to their necks in it, and they showed all that today.” - Roma under threat -

Algerian international Mo-

hamed Fares nodded SPAL ahead after 22 minutes, and Ranieri introduced 19-year-old rising star Nicolo Zaniolo after the break to immediate effect. Edin Dzeko ran on to a 53rdminute Zaniolo through-ball and was fouled by Thiago Cionek in the area, before Diego Perotti converted the penalty. But seven minutes later Andrea Petagna scored the winner for SPAL from the spot following a foul by Roma defender Juan Jesus. SPAL held on for just their sixth win of the season and first home victory since September, which moved them up to 15th place, five points above the drop zone. “It was a great performance, we found ourselves again this evening,” said SPAL coach Leonardo Semplici. Roma are now under threat from Atalanta, who are three points behind them ahead of their game against bottom club Chievo on Sunday. Torino missed the chance to pull level on points with Ranieri’s stuttering outfit when they fell to their first defeat in two months, 3-2 to lowly Bologna. Bologna’s Erick Pulgar scored both for and against his club. His sixth-minute own goal had put Torino ahead before substitute Andrea Poli headed in the equaliser after

half an hour in Turin. Pulgar then scored from the penalty spot after 34 minutes with Ricardo Orsolini adding a third after 65 minutes. Armando Izzo pulled a goal back a minute from time for Torino, who drop out of the Europa League places. Both teams finished with 10 men with Lyanco and Ola Aina both sent off late for two yellow cards. “After an unbeaten run of eight games, we caused most of the problems ourselves,” said Torino coach Walter Mazzarri. “We made naive mistakes and were unlucky too. “I had hoped to get at least a point out of it, but every time we lost the ball, we conceded a goal.” Sampdoria beat Sassuolo 5-3, with Serie A top scorer Fabio Quagliarella, 36, scoring his 21st goal of the season days after being recalled to the Italy team. Sampdoria are ninth, two points off the Europa League places with Sassuolo a further 10 points behind. Title-holders Juventus return to domestic duty against Genoa on Sunday, looking to build on their 18-point lead at the top. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo will be rested for the game after his Champions League hattrick fired Juventus into the quarterfinals. Second-placed Napoli host Udinese. (afp)
