‘Mother!’ Crumbles With $7.5 Million, ‘It’ Repeats No. 1 LOS ANGELES - “It” continues to post terrifyingly huge numbers, while “Mother!” opens with a thud. “It,” from Warner Bros. and New Line, expects to finish its second weekend with $60 million from 4,103 locations. That would make its domestic gross so far $218.7 million -- a record for the highest earning September release ever. The old record-holder was 1986’s “Crocodile Dundee” with $174.8 million. Broken down by day this weekend, “It” earned $19.4 million on Friday and $26.2 million on Saturday. Sunday’s take is estimated to be about $14.5 million. 389 Imax screens are expected to account for just over $3 million of the film’s take in North America this weekend. Overseas, “It” is pulling in an additional $60.3 million in 56 markets. That raises its international total to $152.6 million and the worldwide tally to $371.3 million. Based on Stephen King’s novel, “It” opened last weekend with an enormous domestic pull of $123.4 million. The R-rated title, reportedly made for about $35 million,

stars Bill Skarsgard as an evil clown named Pennywise who terrorizes children. The rest of the cast includes Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, Nicholas Hamilton, Jaeden Lieberher, and Jackson Robert Scott. Meanwhile “Mother!” is struggling. The Paramount release directed by Darren Aronofsky is expected to earn $7.5 million from 2,368 locations. That’s an all-time low for wide releases starring Jennifer Lawrence. One contributing factor to the movie’s bottom line is that audiences entirely rejected it and bestowed an F CinemaScore. That’s despite a critical split that landed the polarizing movie a generally positive 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. Women made up the bulk of the audience (56%), and slightly more than half of the audience (52%) was over the age of 35. The launch was driven by a marketing campaign that shrouded the R-rated movie in mystery and didn’t give much away regarding plot. In addition to Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, and Michelle Pfeiffer also star. (rtr)

‘Big Little Lies,’ ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ rule at Trump-flavored Emmys

The new U.S. president, who never won an Emmy despite his reality show past, was also the butt of multiple jokes at the ceremony honoring the best of television. “If he (Trump) had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn’t have run for president,” host Stephen Colbert told the A-list audience. “It’s your fault! He never forgave you and he never will. But unlike the presidency, the Emmys go to the winners of the popular vote,” Colbert quipped, referring to the 2016 election result. Alec Baldwin won the comedy supporting actor Emmy for his withering impersonations of Trump for “Saturday Night Live “on the

Comcast Corp’s NBC. After its most-watched season in 23 years, “Saturday Night Live” won nine Emmys, including best variety sketch series, for actress Kate McKinnon and for Melissa McCarthy’s turn as former White House press secretary Sean Spicer. With HBO’s N> medieval series “Game of Thrones” out of the running this year because of a later airdate, there were a slew of new faces among Sunday’s winners. Many of them were for women, who scored with female-centric shows like “Big Little Lies,” “A Handmaid’s Tale” and “Veep,” and rare wins for women directors, writers and producers.

‘MORE ROLES FOR WOMEN’ In the first major awards wins for streaming service Hulu, “The Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss was named best drama actress for playing a woman forced into sexual servitude. The show also won awards for writing, directing and for supporting actress Ann Dowd for a total of 8. Other new faces included Donald Glover, the best comedy actor and also director for his hip-hop themed show “Atlanta.” Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her sixth consecutive Emmy for playing a female egotistical presidential candidate on HBO’s “Veep,” one of the few repeat winners.

Late summer rains, private food supplies limit impact of N.Korea drought

KCNA/via Reuters/File Photo

SEOUL - Late summer rains and the growing importance of privately produced crops mean North Korea will likely avoid acute food shortages this year despite earlier fears of drought and mounting international sanctions, defectors and experts say. The U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) warned in July of the worst drought in 16 years in the country, saying there were “serious concerns” about a lack of rainfall in key cereal-producing areas. “People said they delayed planting because it was too dry in the early spring, but right after that it rained,” said Kang Mi-jin at the Seoul-based Daily NK, a website run by defectors. “Crop conditions are fine now,” said Kang, who said she had cross-checked the news of the harvest with several sources still inside North Korea. Weather data for areas in China that border North Korea’s main crop zones show rains picked up from August, helping to alleviate dry conditions. U.S. Department of

Agriculture satellite images suggest North Korea’s crop yields will be similar to last year, said Kim Younghui, a North Korean defector and a specialist in the country’s economy at Korea Finance Corp in Seoul. North Korea experienced a crippling famine in the 1990s when a combination of bad weather, economic mismanagement and the demise of fuel subsidies from the Soviet Union all but destroyed its state-run Public Distribution System (PDS) of rationing. The FAO report, which de-

scribed the PDS as the “main source of food” for around 70 percent of the population, said increased food imports would be required to ensure adequate food supplies for the most at-risk groups, including children and elderly. FOOD SECURITY IMPROVES However, the rise of privately produced food sold in North Korean markets has slowly overtaken the PDS as the primary distributor of food, a factor which experts say

official U.N. reports overlook. The reports, often produced in conjunction with the North Korean government, may not be able to focus on markets given the political sensitivity of inherently capitalist activity in a state which still outwardly professes to maintain a Soviet-style command economy, experts say. “Many people rely completely on the markets and off-the-books private farming for their food,” said Sokeel Park of Liberty in North Korea, an organisation which aids defectors. “Corrupt officials will also siphon off government supplies and sell them for profit,” said Park. “This means international agencies’ regurgitation of Pyongyang’s official food data should be taken with a pinch of salt”. In the years since the famine, farmers have also been granted increasing

autonomy at local levels to proactively change crops, staving off the risk of food shortages, and reducing the reliance on imports. North Korea’s grain imports totalled $26.5 million in 2016, down from $139.2 million in 2012, according to the state-run Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency. January to June imports this year were just $10.6 million, albeit up sharply on the $3 million over the same period a year go. Continued to page 6

Crack-down on PCC, drugstore raid smust be intensified

INDONESIA is facing an emergency with regards to narcotics as witnessed by the cases of lives lost in Kendari South Sulawesi due to Paracetamol Caffeine Carisoprodol (PCC) tablets. In addition, a total of 12 tons of the raw materials used to make ‘Flakka Zombie powder’ were also recently secured in Bintan, Riau Islands. The entry of such hazardous drugs into Indonesia has made law enforcement officers extra alert about the need to prevent such substances form making their way into Bali.

“We from the Denpasar police have made a special warrant to conduct information sessions, inquiries and investigations”, said Chief of Denpasar Police Narcotic Investigation Unit, Wayan Arta Ariawan, on Sunday (Sep. 17). According to Arta, they are particularly targeting such as PCC in Denpasar and Badung. “ We have already given information about this to schools so that they can investigate the circulation of such substances. We also go into schools to to invite students to protect themselves against being seduces by drug syndicates”, he said. In addition, the police will also collaborate with related

agencies such as the Regional Food and and Drug Agency (BBPOM) to conduct raids at drugstores. “We are also monitoringIf anyone has information about such sales, please report it to us so that it can be dealt with immediately” he added. Prof. Dr. Rai Setiabudhi, said that based on the recent case in Kendari, we can see that PCC is a new type of narcotic that can cause horrifying results. “Before this incident, we we not very vigilant, but now we see there is a real need to be aware. We all need to be vigilant and the BBPOM in particualr should be diligent in detecting the circulation of such hazardous drugs”, he said. All related parties need to perform supervision. Any indications that PCC is being circulated should be immediately reported to relevant authorities. Particularly in Bali, officers and the public alike need to participate in searching for possible sources of PCC. The impact of this drug is extremely harmful and can cause severe damage to users, including causing unconsciousness and psychosis, explained Prof Setiabudhi. “We hope that BBPOM Bali will be able to detect and control the distribution of hazardous drugs in the future” he said. Similarly, he hopes that police officers, BNN and the health agency will conduct related supervision and investigation. IF PCC has already entered Bali, such smuggling should

be thoroughly investigated. Through early detection, the circulation of such harmfl substances can be stopped. “We must act now and not wait for their to be casualties”, he said. On that account, early detection should be carried out, in the family environment particularly amongst youngsters. “ We must not let an incident like the one in Kendari occur in Bali. Please realize that drugs are dangerous and should be avoided”, said Prod Setiabudhi. (rah)

Culprits apply similar strategy with drug syndicates suspected of being somehow related to the poltters arrested in Sukawati, Ginayar and other provinces. “These crimes have mostly been perpetrated by citizens of Bulgaris. The culptirs arrested in Lombok are also from Bulgaria”, he said. Have they been in Bali for long? Former Sukawati Police cief Adiputra said that the culprits claim it is the first time they have committed such a crime. Aduputra however suspects that they have visited Bali often as they appear to be quite familiar with the area of Buleleng and even rented their own car to drive around. “They were staying in a rented house in Lovina. Later we will check their passports to see how long they have been in Bali”,he added. As reported, the cyber ??crime team of the Bali Police Special Criminal Investigation, headed by Unit Chief, Wisnawa Adiputra, raided the BNI ATM on Jalan Raya Lovina,

Buleleng, last Saturday (Sep. 16), where the two Bulgarians were arrested for allegedly breaking int othe data of BNI customers through the ATM. Bank customers are advised to be carefully when entering their PIN number because sometimes the culprits install a hidden camera to peek in on the victim’s password. Avoid using ATMs in dim or desolate areas because such areas make it easier for culprits to install skimming devices. Also, bank customers should check their account balances regularly, and if there have been any strange withdrawal these should immediately be report to the bank. Also, avoid using ATMs too often becaue this makes your account more vulnerable to be broken into. Register every bank transaction using two types of authentication. (kmb36)

Dozens of foreign sailors visit Sudaji tourism village SINGARAJA - More than 60 foreign tourists enjoyed their holiday at Sudaji village, Sawan subdistrict, on Sunday (Sep. 17). Foreign sailors from a number of countries arrived by yacht to holiday in Buleleng. More than 68 yachts from aroudn the world docked on Lovina Beach. Coinciding with the arrival of the yachts, the local government of Buleleng organized the Lovina Festival 2017 taking place from September 14-18 featuring traditional gamelan music performed by Sudaji village, yoga, bull race attractions. Other activities that the seafarers enjoyed include trekking to enjoy the rustic atmosphere and some agricultural activities at Sudaji village.

Maritime affairs expert staff of the Ministry of Tourism, Raymond Timotius Lesmana, said that this was the first time that the sailors visited Sudaji village. After the nautical rally this year, many of the sailors become interested in the beauti-

ful countryside, agricultural activities, art performances and sustainable local culture. In addition, the Sudaji village government had cooperated with other components, so Sudaji was chosen to be visited in the voyage of the sailors. The central government alogn with other authorities will arrange for similar visits to other villages in Indonesia. “This event is in line with country mission to develop tourism. After arriving in Bali, the sailors are now vacationing in Lovina. We cooperated with the local tourism awareness group of Sudaji to arrange for a visit. The aim is to promote and develop tourism and motivate the residents of Sudaji with the economic impact of tourism as well as educate students in the village”, he said. Responding to the visit of the international sailors, chief of Sudaji customary village, Jro Nyoman Sunuada, accompanied by tourism activist San San explained that they received many foreign tourists after the village leaders and tourism

activits introduced Sudaji’S potential to the wolrd in 2006. There efforts started to yield results so they followed up by forming the Sudaji village Gadna Meru tourism awareness group. According to Sunuada, the tourism village was developed around the beautiful natural scenery, organic farming and the friendliness of the villagers towards foreign guests. The development of village tourism is believed to be abel to improve the welfare of the local community. “From the moment we had the idea until the tourism village was established, the customary village authorities of Sudaji Village gave their support. Tourism can provide an income to our community. Although there is commecialization of the village, we still maintian desa kala patra (traditional norms related to place, time and condition), so that the development of tourism here will not lead to us deviating from our customs”, he explained.

Currently, the investigators are tracking the syndicate kingpin suspected to be outside Bali. This syndicate applies a drug syndicatelike strategy to protect its men in the field. “They (the suspects—Ed) are still not willing to give any information. In drug syndicates such actors would serve as courriers. In this case, their task is to install ‘skimmers’ in ATMs,. Possibly, the tools in the computer are still working so the investigation needs to involve digital forensics”, said Chief of Cyber Crime Unit, Bali Police Special Criminal Investigation, I Wayan Wisnawa Adiputra, on Sunday (Sep. 17).

Allegedly disposing of waste in River

DLHK warns 17 business owners

Cassini spacecraft ends 13-year odyssey with fiery plunge into Saturn

CALIFORNIA - The U.S. space agency NASA received a final signal from its Cassini spacecraft on Friday as it ended a groundbreaking, 13-year Saturn mission with a meteor-like plunge into the ringed planet’s atmosphere. Cassini, the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn, entered the gaseous giant’s crushing atmosphere at 7:55 a.m. EDT (1155 GMT) at about 70,000 miles per hour (113,000 km per hour), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. “This morning a lone explorer - a machine made by human-kind - finished its mission 900 million miles away,” Cassini project manager Earl Maize said at a news conference on Friday at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “We believe we got every last second of data.” The end of Cassini’s voyage, which began with its launch in 1997 and a seven-year journey to Saturn, was met with applause, hugs and tears from NASA officials after its final transmission was received, according to video footage on the space agency’s website. Officials at the news conference displayed the last set

of images Cassini captured of Saturn as it crashed into the planet. The planet’s lakes and seas near its north pole were visible, along with detailed views of gaps in its massive rings. Maize said Cassini’s data, sent until the final fiery moment, was already being studied by NASA analysts in Arizona. The transmissions are expected to include unprecedented data from the atmosphere’s upper fringe, about 1,190 miles (1,915 km) above Saturn’s cloudtops. The data took 84 minutes to reach NASA antennas in Canberra, Australia, Maize said. The final dive ended a mission that gave scientists a ringside seat to the sixth planet from the sun. The spacecraft’s discoveries included seasonal changes on Saturn, a hexagon-shaped pattern on its north pole and the moon Titan’s resemblance to a primordial Earth. Cassini also found a global ocean on the moon Enceladus, with ice plumes spouting from its surface. Enceladus has become a promising lead in the search for places outside Earth that could support life. The spacecraft has produced 450,000 images and 635

gigabytes of data since it began probing Saturn and its 62 known moons in July 2004. Cassini, a cooperative project between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, was launched into space in October 1997 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. With the spacecraft running low on fuel, NASA crashed it into Saturn to avoid any chance of it someday colliding with and contaminating Titan, Enceladus or another moon that has the potential for indigenous microbial life. Cassini started a series of 22 orbital dives in April, using Titan’s gravity to slingshot itself into the unexplored area between the planet and its rings. The spacecraft studied Saturn’s atmosphere and took measurements to determine the size of the planet’s rocky core. Scientists took to Twitter to share their goodbyes. “Farewell Cassini, how far you’ve come,” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said on Twitter. “On this eve, in fiery death, Saturn & you are one.

DENPASAR - Following up on the public complaints related to consignment waste resulting in the “snowing” or foaming up of the river flow in the area of Jalan Taman Pancing, Pemogan, Denpasar, the Denpasar Environmental and Hygiene Agency (DLHK) went to the scene to monitor and evaluate the situation first-hand. A total of 17 businesses suspected of dumping their waste into the river were visited by DLHK officers on Saturday (16/9) and given warnings. Based on the findings in the field, a number of business premises that deal with dyeing, screen printing, laundry as well as tempe and tofu factories in the area, turned out to have storage facilitates for their waste. These waste handling systems are clearly not optimal and need to be properly evaluated. “We see the handling and processing of the waste is sufficient, but is a need for re-evaluation, considering there is still waste being discharged into the river. Relevant business owners will be called to sign a statement in which they agree to optimize their treatment of liquid waste and processed it in accordance with existing regulations”, said Head of Pollution Control and Environmental Damage DLHK Denpasar I.B. Putra Wirabawa, while inspecting one of the businesses near japan Taman Pancing. In order for the environmental pollution case not to drag on, Putra Wirabawa said he is inviting all business that have the potential to pollute the environment, to make sure that they do not dispose of their waste directly into the river and instead process it well. “We expect all parties to take an active role and participate in organizing and maintaining the surrounding environment”, he said. Putra Wirabawa added that such inspections will continue to be conducted as a form of early prevention so that the City of Denpasar can be clean and free from disease. He also reminds the public that waste that is discharged int tone river without processing has the potential to render rivers into dens of disease and also makes the environment look shabby and dirty. “Yes, we will intensify investigation on the field so as to reduce the amount of waste that is disposed directly into the river”, he said.

Tourism transport bus bringing tourists into Kintamani using a back-road in Banyunggede in order to avoid paying tourism levy.

BANGLI - Income leakage from the tourism sector is being caused by mischievous drivers using back-roads to avoid paying the levy to enter the Kintamani tourism area. In addition to tightening supervision of all entrances to Kintamani, Bangli’s Regional People’s Representative Assembly (DPRD) has requested that the tourism management agency of Bangli be formed as soon as possible as such an agency will play a strategic role in dealing with various tourism-related issues, including the matter of retribution. Chairman of the Parliament Bangli, Ngakan Kutha Parwata said on Sunday (17/9) that is it

regrettable that potential revenue from the retribution of tourism is evaporating because the collection system and management of the area in general is lacking efficiency. He therefor hopes that the government can accelerate the process of establishing a tourism management agency. ‘’ As long as this governing body has not been formed, the leaks will still exist, especially since these back-roads are not guarded by officers. Clearly drivers who are familiar with the roads that lead to Kintamani while seek to avoid paying levies to the officers. The government needs to take this into consideration”, said chairman Parwata.

As Parwata pointed out, with so many people avoiding paying the tourism levies, the regional income will be affected. He added that if such conditions continue, Disparbud will not be able to meet the set targets. Furthermore, before there were reports from the public after a recent on site operation to catch deviants, tour ticket takers in Kintamani were lazy to conduit their duties. he government was therefore asked to follow-up on complaints from the public. In essence, the regent of Bangli needs to condition these officers as well as those in ASN Bangli to be more assertive in carrying out their duties”, he added. (kmb41)

Municipal police ready to crack down on road parking violators

MANGUPURA — Rampant findings of parking violations on the roads, sidewalks and other facilities in the area of South Badung will be dealt firmly. Coaching period having been given for a month by Badung municipal police is considered sufficient. To that end, in the mid of this September the ranks of Badung municipal police will immediately conduct a curbing and decisive action. Such assertive action is made through repressive action or direct misdemeanor trial. When confirmed recently, Chief of Badung Municipal Police, IGAK Surya Negara, revealed that such curbing is expected to gradually reduce the congestion, mainly in the area of South Badung denoting a tourism area. “We always try to provide preventive measures, namely by inviting and appealing to the public and riders in order to comply with the rules. Now, in accordance with our working plan, starting this mid-September we will take action firmly,” he concluded. He claimed to have collected the data of violations that have been netted so far. If they will be found again in the field, his office does not hesitate to take their identity card. Later on, the violators will be brought in when holding misdemeanor trial by prosecutor and the judges. In accordance with the threat against the violations to public order, the violators will be subject to a maximum penalty of IDR 2.5 million or confinement for three months. “We are given time by a judge on Tuesdays or Thursdays to hold misdemeanor trial, so that we accumulate the violations occurred first. We make data collection of the offense, we raid and hold misdemeanor trial,” he explained. Surya Negara said the priority will be focused on the violators related to parking on the sidewalk and so forth. However, in the future he claimed to be targeting the triggers of the parking violations. He realized that rampant parking violations are often triggered by the merchants or entrepreneurs that do not provide any parking space or run business near sidewalk. However, to target it, he will first make coordination with other related agencies because the problems often involve building permit, business licenses and others. “Right now, we are more focusing on the violations directly, not the triggers. This is done for the sake of smooth traffic. However, in the future we will certainly target the triggers as well,” he stated. In accordance with the instruction of the regent of Badung, the municipal police will continue to enforce the implementation of regional regulation every month. There are eight elements of orderliness that should be upheld, such as the orderly road, orderly environment, orderly buildings, orderly tourism business, social order and others. To start it, the municipal police enforce the orderly road first. (kmb23)

GIANYAR — The problems faced by Ubud tourist object are just like unraveled tangled threads. Allegedly, this condition happened because the government does never take action. As a result, such problems trigger saturation of tourist to visit Ubud.

Rampant parking violations are often triggered by the merchants or entrepreneurs that do not provide any parking space or run business near sidewalk.

“Local government of Gianyar should immediately take action. Many studies have been carried out from the past, but there has been no real breakthrough to resolve traffic problems in Ubud,” said Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati in the discussion on resolving the traffic jam and waste problems related to the preparation of the IMF Annual Meeting 2018 in the convention room of a hotel in Ubud, on Saturday afternoon (Sep. 16). This chairman of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) Bali also conveyed his unrest because many tourists complain about such condition of Ubud that is not as expected. Besides, in the matter of infrastructure, some sidewalk accesses are broken. “Come on local government, take action. How long this condition will be left?” he voiced his anxiety. In the meantime, the Head of the Gianyar Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda),

Gede Widarma Suharta, explained three causes of traffic jams in Ubud, namely the use of roads as parking of public vehicles and SME employees. “Additionally, there is no restriction on vehicles allowed entering Ubud, and other non-technical factors related to traffic,” he said. The government of Gianyar also offers several emergency solutions, such as by providing temporary land for parking space of employees in the east of Melanting Temple of Ubud Market, and in the area of the burned market before being repaired. The local government also teams up with Padang Tegal customary village to take advantage of central parking in Monkey Forest and by providing shuttle to restrict the incoming vehicles. “We will continuously provide dissemination and coaching,” he said. He added that next year (2018) the local government will prepare

several measures for the expansion of central parking area by optimizing the buffer areas of Ubud tourism such as Peliatan village, Mas village, Singakerta village and Goa Gajah. “In accordance with the instructions of the regent, we are asked to quickly form an acceleration team in order to have a single determination to repair Ubud,” said Widarma. In the meantime, Deputy of Tourism Destination Development of the Ministry of Tourism, Dadang Reski Ratman, who also attended the discussion said that ministry of tourism is ready to follow up all the efforts that will be carried out to overcome congestion and environmental issues in Ubud. He said the moment of the upcoming IMF Annual Meeting 2018 should serve as a means of total improvement as well as restoring Ubud from congestion and dirty environment. “All parties must agree and try the best,” he affirmed.

Thai junta and Muslim separatists trade blame over peace steps

BANGKOK - Thailand’s junta and a Malay Muslim separatist faction have blamed each other for a delay in setting up a ‘safety zone’ as a confidence-building measure towards ending a decades-old insurgency. Talks on the zone ended last week in Malaysia without full agreement to be followed by bombings that killed a soldier and a policeman in the Thai south, where more than 6,500 people have been killed since 2004. No group claimed responsibility for the latest attacks. On Monday, the Mara Patani faction said that implementing a safety zone had been “a little delayed”, because some details, “especially from the Thai side”, had not been satisfactorily addressed, but that did not mean talks had failed. “The correct approach is to continue dialogue, not walking away from it,” Abu Hafez Al-Hakim, a leader of the group, said in a statement. At the weekend, Thailand’s chief negotiator had said the insur-

gents were not ready for the safety zone, despite the sincerity of the Thai government. “If the dissidents are not ready, then people’s participation in the process will be delayed,” General Aksara Kerdphol said, adding that talks would continue. The proposed safety zone would be jointly administered by Thai authorities and the separatists in a district of the three southern provinces that formed part of a Malay Muslim sultanate until being annexed by the mostly Buddhist Thai kingdom in 1909. Within the safety zone, neither side would attack the other. “If you want to create peace you have to work with your enemy,” AlHakim told Reuters, saying he was hopeful a safety zone could be set up within three to six months. But the Barisan Revolusi

Nasional (BRN) group, which has greater control over combatants than other factions, has not joined talks. A leader of the group told Reuters last week that the current negotiations were doomed. Pak Fakih said in a rare interview that safety zones could be “a trick by the military in trying to uncover the insurgent networks”. The BRN neither claims nor denies responsibility for any specific attack, but says it is continuing to fight to send a signal to the government. The leader of another insurgent group, Patani United Liberation Organization (PULO), also said he was uneasy about the government’s safety zone plan, but would go along with it in the spirit of cooperation.

MANILA - Philippine troops rescued a catholic priest held hostage for almost four months by Islamic State-linked rebels after an offensive that captured a stronghold of the militants in southern Marawi City, defence officials said on Monday. Marawi’s vicar-general Father Teresito “Chito” Soganub was kidnapped along with other Christians as militants rampaged through the city on May 23, burning churches and schools, releasing prisoners and seizing arms in a well-planned assault. Soganub, flanked by Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and military chief General Eduardo Ano, appeared to be in good health and high spirits when he was presented to the media in Manila. He expressed his thanks but gave no statement. “Our troops gained the upper hand, the terrorists were forced to withdraw to nearby structures on the periphery of the mosque,” Lorenzana told a media briefing in Manila, referring to the Bato mosque held by the rebels for 117 days. “Troops had opportunity to snatch Father Chito...” The appearance of Soganub is some rare good news for a military that has suffered a string of setbacks in Marawi, from deadly accidents during a controversial campaign of air strikes to repeatedly missing deadlines on when the battle would be won. The siege of the city by an alliance of rebels from the island of Mindanao, and numerous foreign fighters, has been the biggest internal security crisis in years for the Philippines, a country used to separatist and communist rebellions. Soganub made an appearance under duress in a militant propaganda video about a week after his capture, urging the government to stop the military operation in Marawi in exchange for sparing lives of hostages. The priest was among scores held by militants at the Bato mosque, one of Marawi’s largest, which troops captured on Saturday afternoon. He was rescued along with another hostage, Lordvin Ocopio. The rebels who laid siege to Marawi are from an extremist faction of the Abu Sayyaf group, led by Isnilon Hapilon, the so-called “emir” of Southeast Asia, and members of the militant Maute family, which has deep clan connections in the lakeside town and surrounding areas. Military chief Ano said about 10 foreigners were still in the battle among some 50-60 rebels, who were holding 45-50 hostages. Hapilon was among those still fighting but several of the Maute brothers were likely dead, Ano added, citing information provided by civilians who escaped and some captured rebels. (rtr)

Less foreign borrowing, longer bonds offset rise in emerging debt levels -BIS

LONDON - A large-scale shift towards domestically issued and longer-dated bonds in emerging markets has helped build resilience to external shocks despite the increase in overall debt levels, the Bank for International Settlements said. The BIS, an umbrella body for global central banks, has warned in the past that developing world risks were entering a new crisis because of a build-up in debt levels, especially in China. But its latest report found that changes in the composition of debt were a mitigating factor. “Borrowing is mostly done in local currencies, at longer maturities and at fixed rates. Taken together, these trends should help strengthen public finance sustainability by reducing currency mismatches and rollover risks,” the BIS wrote. Its quarterly report released on Sunday said emerging market government debt stood at $11.1 trillion, having doubled since end2007. Public debt as a share of gross domestic product had risen to 51 percent, 10 percentage points above end-2007 levels. But only 14 percent of the outstanding debt of 23 of the big developing countries was in foreign currency, its data showed, down from 32 percent at the end of 2001. While foreign borrowing still made up about a third of the total in some countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Poland, such issuance has broadly declined. “The fall in the share of FX-linked debt in the early-2000s may have helped shield emerging economies from the global market turbulence of the 2007–09 crisis and its aftermath,” the study added. The BIS also noted that bond tenors had risen steadily across emerging markets, with an average maturity of 7.7 years for its sample set of 23 countries. This is only slightly below the average of eight years in developed countries. It cited Mexico and South Africa as examples of countries that had extended average maturity to eight and 16 years respectively - well above many advanced nations. This is not entirely without risk, however, the BIS warned. Longer maturities mean higher global bond yields - possibly as developed nations exit years of super-easy credit policies - “could have a greater impact than previously on the market value of debt, potentially increasing rollover risks and other adverse feedback mechanisms,” the report added. That is because interest rate rises tend to fuel a bigger drop in the price of longer-dated bonds than in those with shorter maturities. (rtr)

Indonesia certainly has a staggering array and wealth of creative talent. From music to visual and performing arts, crafts and design to creative business ideas and creative ways of overcoming challenges, there is clearly no shortage of creativity amongst the people of tho country. It is therefor surprising that so little of this creativity has made its way to the global stage or recognized for its due value. The government of Indonesia has created the Creative Economy Agency (BEKRAF) to address the issue of this untapped potential and is taking concrete steps to remedy the situation.

Euro crisis over, Portugal’s investment grade comeback cuts bond yields

LONDON - Portugal’s 10-year bond yield hit its lowest level since January 2016 on Monday, driven by the country regaining an investment grade credit rating after 5-1/2 years, effectively drawing a line under its debt crisis. Standard & Poor’s on Friday became the first of the big three credit rating agencies to lift Portugal back to investment grade, citing its improving economy and public finances. Portugal lost the investment grade rating, which widens the investor base for a country’s bonds, at the height of its debt crisis in January 2012. Standard & Poor’s, which had rated the country at BB+ with a stable outlook, shifted its position by one notch to BBB-, the lowest investment grade mark, again with a stable outlook. With the exception of Greece, which is still in a bailout programme, and Cyprus, all euro zone member states are rated investment grade by at least one of the big three rating firms. Since ratings agencies often change the outlook on a country before they change the ratings, S&P’s move took markets by surprise. Investors reacted by pushing shares and bond prices -- which move in the opposite direction to the yield -- up sharply. “The ratings upgrade is a move we agree with -- it is clear that the economy has recovered significantly and progress made by policy makers has been beneficial to the recovery,” said Peter Chatwell, head of euro rates strategy, at Mizuho. Portugal’s 10year bond yield slid over 25 basis points to 2.51 percent, its lowest level since January 2016. The yield was on track for its biggest one-

day fall since February 2016 and was by far the biggest outperformer in euro zone bond markets. Spanish and Italian yields fell 3-4 basis points each , dragged down by Portugal, while most other yields were flat to a touch lower. The sharp drop in Portuguese yields left the gap over top-rated German Bund yields at around 209 basis points, its tightest level since January 2016. Portuguese stocks also outperfomed their peers with the PSI 20 up 1.5 percent. Financials provided the biggest lift to the index, with Bank BCP Millenium up 6 percent. NEXT STEP? The upgrade is likely to attract more portfolio investment and has sparked speculation about Portugal’s inclusion in major investment grade bond indices. “Now the markets are looking at a formal entry into bond market indices and some of these need two investment grade ratings,” said Patrick O’Donnell, an investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management. “At this stage, we’re getting close to pricing that reflects a return to these indices.”

Portuguese government bonds have been among the euro zone’s best performing markets this year, marking a turnaround from jitters about Portugal’s rating outlook at the end of last year. An economic recovery and efforts to lower the country’s budget deficit have boosted sentiment -- just as the positive impact of the European Central Bank’s asset-buying programme is subsiding. Lisbon last year chalked up its smallest budget shortfall since 1975, and in June the European Council ended a disciplinary process against Portugal, which only emerged from a three-year international bailout in 2014, over its excessive deficit. “There are investors who simply could not buy Portuguese debt before (the upgrade) due to investment rules, even when it behaved strongly in terms of returns,” Portuguese Finance Minister Mario Centeno told Reuters. “And now they will be able to buy it, which is very good as it is will be a decisive help toward the ongoing government effort of diversifying the investor base.”(rtr)

Although there is no lack of creativity, what has been lacking are things like formal channels for distributing creative products, marketing strategies, systems, networks and development capital. Looking to South Korea for inspiration in terms of the way they developed branded and exported Kpop to the world over, BEKRAFis looking to do something similar here is Indonesia. Starting with a workshop in Bali that took place on September 13th14th and that will be held again in several cities throughout Indonesia over the next month, BEKRAF is looking to support Indonesian musicians. The workshop entitled ‘WrockSHOP: Production and Promotion of Indonesian Music in the Digital Era”, took place at Kuta’s Central Park Hotel was organized by The Indonesia Music Forum and involved several Indonesian industry insiders sharing their knowledge with younger aspiring rockers about everything from sound engineering to networking and promotion. Over the course of two days, 10 successful Indonesian musicians, producers, and organizers shared both their experience and enthusiasm with the workshop participants. Guitarist singer songwriter Robbi from Bali’s famed rock band Navicula, for example gave a rousing talk about the importance of reaching out to a wider global network calling on the youngsters to be proud of their talent and not shy away from introducing themselves to the vast global network of festivals and venues that have money to spend on such talent. There was also information

shared about things like all the people involved in creating a specific sound for a band as well as the all important sound engineers who go unseen but play a central role in the quality of the end product. In terms of overall branding of Indonesian music, IMF’s Buddy Ace shared some background about what has informed and defined the sound of British rock vs. American rock. Explaining that Britain’s music scene grew up in large old venues with a lot of resonance and thus influenced the way that audiences heard the music. British sound engineers tend to emphasize this spatial quality by recording all the instruments of a band at the same level and then adding resonance to them all as a way to reflect this environment. Whereas in America where rock music was first played in small square spaces with little resonance and with audiences being very close to the musicians, audiences tended to focus on one particular instrument or on the vocals. This has translated into an ‘American Sound’ that prioritizes one instrument or voice with the rest of the band backing this up. These are subtle yet distinct differences that define the character British rock vs. American rock, for example and serve to create a kind of national brand for the music of these two contties. He added that these defining characteristics are more easily seen from the outside, because both American and British musicians take for granted that this is the best way to record and present their music and the audiences of these two con tries are used to hearing this particular nuance. Therefore Indonesia’s defining

sound, explained ACE explained, is also bound to be informed by the particular circumstances from which rock music here emerges. This distinctive sound however is will likely be more identifiable to non- Indonesians because they are not emmersed in it and so they can hear the aspects of it that are different than the music of where they come from. This he said, makes it important to have contact with musicians from other parts of the world -as a way to better know ourselves, he said. The WrockSHOP was then followed by a concert that was open to the public, held at Taman Garuda Pancasila Kertalanggu, Denpasar on the night of September 14th entitled:, Garda Rock Bali A.I.R.S (ALL Indoneisa Rock Star).

Jaja Gina Misi Tape

Have you ever enjoyed jaja gina misi tape or gina cake served with fermented rice? Gina is the name of cake, a traditional Balinese cake. On the celebration of Galungan, jaja gina misi tape always graces the offerings of the Hindu community to be presented to God. It is rarely found because it is just made on certain days or certain Hindu holidays. Having been presented to God, it can then be consumed.

Sometimes this cake is deliberately made as the main menu served to guests when making a visit to the home of the newlywed couple. It has become a tradition, if there are people carrying out wedding ceremony before Galungan, the other communities will give offerings as congratulation. As the exchange of the gift presented is jaja gina misi tape. This cake has a very sweet taste, but do

There was also a special collaborative performance with the legendary Jegog group SUARAGUNG and some of the rockers that in many ways exemplified the potential of this nation. The rich cultural heritage of Indonesia can drawn on, elaborated on, collaborated with or simply serve as inspiration for the creation of a truly distinctive contemporary sound. The collaborative performance, though strongly guided by the rhythm and power of the Jegog

However, the fermented rice should not be let for too long because its wine will melt. When let for long time, it will not taste good. Typically, the fermented rice has a good taste after three days from the making. Jaja gina is a dry cake denoting an ancestral heritage where not everyone can make. It is almost required every day to fill in the offerings and is also good to accompany morning coffee. This can be preserved to be practically used when necessary. To pre-

Because Indonesia’s rock scene has evolved independently and managed to create a strong network, the Indonesia Music Forum drew on this expertise for these events, however the mission applies to all music genres. Along with providing information and inspiration to the worksop participants and audience of the performance, these BEKRAF events and those that will follow in other cities are also meant to serve as a way to let aspiring musicians across the archipelago know that BEKRAF is ready to support musicians who are interested in putting Indonesia on the musical map of the world.(kmb)

Britain proposes new security treaty with EU after Brexit

LONDON - Britain will propose on Monday signing a new security treaty with the European Union after Brexit to maintain and intensify cooperation to thwart “ever-growing and increasingly cross-border threats”.

In its sixth policy paper setting out its vision for ties with the EU after it quits the bloc in March 2019, the government will say the new treaty “would be underpinned by our shared principles and should make sure our partnership has the agility to respond to the ever-changing threats we face”. The proposal comes just days after a blast on a packed commuter underground train injured 30 people in west London, the fifth major attack this year. “We already have a deep level of collaboration with the EU on security matters and it is in both our interests to find ways to maintain it,” Brexit minister David Davis said in a statement. “A new security treaty with the EU would be underpinned by our shared principles, and should make sure our partnership has the agility to respond to the ever-changing threats we face.”

Britain has published a series of “future partnership” policy papers to try to nudge talks with the EU forward, after they have stalled over the divorce settlement, especially over the so called Brexit bill. Security cooperation is seen by government officials as one of their strongest arguments to gain leverage in the complicated talks to unravel more than 40 years of union. Amber Rudd, the interior minister, said Britain was one of the leading EU contributors to a range of measures, such as data and evidence sharing, extradition measures and to the EU’s policy agency Europol. “Recent events in the UK and across Europe have shown the criminal and terrorist threats we face are varied and increasingly international. The long-standing collaboration we have with our European partners allows us to jointly address these threats and keep our citizens safe,” she said. “As we prepare to leave the EU it is therefore vital that we agree a new way to ensure continued security, law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation.” (rtr)

Prices in North Korean markets have remained relatively stable and continue to be a reliable source of food, according to defectors who closely monitor North Korean market prices and activity. The U.N.’s World Food Programme (WFP) said there was still very little direct information available on how important markets are for household food access. WFP was consulting with the North Korean government to carry out more detailed studies on food security later this year, it said

in an emailed response to questions. Another threat to North Korea’s food security was an increase in U.N. sanctions following the country’s sixth and largest nuclear bomb test earlier this month. The U.N. Security Council unanimously agreed to a range of new measures including imposing a ban on the country’s textile exports and capping imports of crude oil and fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices rose sharply since the nuclear test, market data analysed by Reuters on Monday showed. The sanctions were likely to hit essential items such as oil, sugar, salt, vinegar and milk powder, which are imported, controlled

centrally and distributed via state shops at subsidized prices, the WFP said. But in contrast to more developed countries, agriculture in North Korea relies much more on mass-mobilisation of workers rather than mechanisation such as harvesters and tractors. So while a lack of oil would likely slow the harvest, the overall impact would not be significant, according to Linda Lewis of the American Friends Service Committee, an NGO running farm projects in North Korea. “Fuel shortages are not a new problem, and North Korean farmers are quite resourceful,” Lewis said.

Soldiers from the 602nd Area Support Medical Company wait on a beach for a Navy landing craft as their unit evacuates in advance of Hurricane Maria, in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands September 17, 2017.

Hurricane Maria seen strengthening into major hurricane in next two days FLORIDA - A second powerful storm in as many weeks was bearing down on a string of battered Caribbean islands, with forecasters saying Maria would strengthen rapidly into a major hurricane as it ripped into the Leeward Islands on Monday night. Maria’s strength was building as it approached the Lesser Antilles, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, estimating its winds near 90 miles per hour (145 kph). “Maria is expected to become a major hurricane as it moves through the Leeward Islands,” the forecaster said, marked by “rapid strengthening” during the next 48 hours. Maria is approaching the eastern Caribbean less than two weeks after Irma hammered the region before overrunning Florida. That storm, one of the most powerful ever recorded in the Atlantic with winds up to 185 miles per hour (298 kph), killed at least 84 people, more than half of them in the Caribbean. As of 2 a.m. (0600 GMT Monday), the center of the storm was about 90 miles (145 km) northnortheast of Barbados and about 170 miles (270 km) east-southeast of the Leeward island of Dominica, moving to the west-northwest at about 13 mph (20 kph). Hurricane conditions were expected for Guadalupe, Dominica, Martinique and St. Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat, and the hurricane center warned Puerto Rico to monitor the storm. The British Virgin Islands and St. Martin, which was devastated

by Hurricane Irma, were under a hurricane watch, as were the U.S. Virgin Islands and Anguilla. More than 1,700 residents of Barbuda, where Irma damaged nearly every building, braced for Maria on neighbouring Antigua, now under a tropical storm watch, said Ronald Sanders, the country’s ambassador to the United States. Puerto Rico has already begun preparations for Maria, which by Tuesday was expected to unleash powerful winds on the U.S. territory, already dealing with a weakened economy and fragile power grid. Damage to Puerto Rico could also disrupt the disaster relief supply chain to other islands that were hit by Irma. “Puerto Rico is our lifeline,” said Judson Burdon, a permanent resident of Anguilla who has helped coordinate supply shipments to the island. “We had two volunteer flights cancel because of the weather that is coming.” The planned deliveries consisted of plywood, power tools and screws to close up windows and doors that remain open on the island, where 90 percent of structures were damaged. The hurricane center also issued a tropical storm watch for portions of the U.S. mid-Atlantic and New England coast by Tuesday as a second hurricane, Jose, moved slowly north from its position in the Atlantic Ocean about 315 miles (510 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The eye of Jose, with top sustained winds of 90 miles per hour (145 kph), should remain off the U.S. East Coast, the NHS said. (rtr)

JAKARTA - Students at an Islamic school that Indonesian authorities have linked to Islamic State returned home after villagers nearby demanded its closure, a school spokesman said on Sunday. A Reuters investigation published this month found at least eight staff and four students from the Ibnu Mas’ud school in Sukajaya, West Java either travelled or tried to travel to Syria to join the jihadist group between 2013 and 2016.

interviewed counter-terrorism police, donors and former militants. MEMORISING THE KORAN

School head Agus Purwoko told reporters last week it only taught pupils “how to read and memorise the Koran.” “So Ibnu Mas’ud, in a way, is a childcare. There are also parents who send their kids here because they are divorcing, going to jail, or facing other problems.” Sukajaya village chief Wahyudin Sumardi told Reuters in July that residents

had been concerned about activities at the school for years. Local resentment ignited when a member of the school’s staff allegedly burned a red and white banner in the village celebrating Indonesia’s Independence Day on Aug. 17. Irate residents rallied outside the school, according to police, village chief Wahyudin and school spokesman Jumadi. Jumadi agreed the next day to move or close the school in a month. But school head Agus and some rights activists said he signed

documents under duress and the school should not be closed on the basis of minor damage to patriotic bunting. “We asked the police to prevent the mass protesters taking the law into their own hands and to separate the activities of the children from allegations of involvement in terrorism,” said Usman Hamid, director of Amnesty International Indonesia. Hamid said the school’s closure would increase the students’ chances of being radicalised. (rtr)

Spokesman Jumadi told Reuters the school was empty after the local police chief said failure to comply with the closure demands would lead to a “big demonstration” by residents from five surrounding districts. The school denies it supports IS, or any other militant groups. It also says it does not advocate a violent or extreme version of Islam. Jumadi, who goes by only one name, said the police warning prompted the school to call parents to pick up the roughly 250 students. Police could not be immediately reached for comment. One of the four students, Hatf Saiful Rasul, left for Syria when he was 11 and died fighting with IS a year later in September 2016. His father, imprisoned militant Syaiful Anam, wrote that his son was inspired to travel by teachers and students of the school who had joined IS. During the school’s decade of operation in Depok, outside Jakarta, and then at Sukajaya, at least another 18 people with links to it have been convicted or are now under arrest for militant plots and attacks in Indonesia, Reuters reported. They include former students, teachers, parents, founders and donors. During its investigation, Reuters reviewed court documents, deeds of entitlement and interrogation reports, and FILE PHOTO: Police guard the scene of an explosion in Jakarta, Indonesia May 24, 2017.

Indonesia will not remain silent over Muslim problems: President SOLO - President Joko Widodo said that Indonesia will not remain silent but seek solutions to problems being faced by Muslims in various countries. “We also never stand idly by the problems that occur in Muslim countries because we hold the constitutional mandate that we are obliged to maintain world order based on freedom, peace and social justice,” said President Joko Widodo at the Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java on Sunday. President Joko Widodo together with Peoples Consultative Assembly (MPR) Chairman Zulkifli Hasan, Minister/Cabinet Secretary Pratikno, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and other officials attended the National Meeting of the Tafsir Al Quran

Assembly. “The fact is that Palestine has not yet gained its independence; Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya are still haunted by wars and conflicts; and Afghanistan has not yet fully recovered. We are obliged to contribute and provide solutions to realizing the world peace, providing solutions for the benefit of Muslims in the world,” added the President. The President pointed out that in 2016 Indonesia has opened an honorary embassy in Ramallah, Palestine. “At the request of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Indonesia held an extraordinary summit on Al-Quds Al-Sharif Palestine in Jakarta in 2016. A lot of people have forgot our activities among Muslim

countries,” said the President. Furthermore, in Afghanistan, Indonesia has also built an Islamic Center for the education of children there. “We are also building an Indonesian mosque in Kabul 2016. Soon we invite the Afghan clerics to Indonesia to learn from each other, sharing each other to build Islam as a religion of rahmatan lil alamin (Islam as a religion that brings mercy and prosperity). “In December, First Lady Rula Ghani, wife of the President of Afghanistan, will visit Indonesia to discuss women and children program,” said President. Regarding the Rohingya ethnic issues in Rakhine State, Myanmar, President said the violence should be stopped.

“Our stance is that the violence in Rakhine State should be stopped immediately, that is our firm stance. I have sent the foreign minister not once or twice to come to meet Aung San Suu Kyi and the Myanmar military so that violence can be stopped,” said President. In January-February 2017, Indonesia has sent 10 containers of drugs and food. “Last week we sent 4 Hercules airplanes carrying blanket, food and other medicines to our brothers who fled on the border of Myanmar and Bangladesh. This week, Indonesia willl send assistance again, either by a plane or (by other means) to our brothers on the border of Myanmar and Bangladesh,” added the President. (ant)

Forty types of medicine prepared at Tamba Waras temple

TABANAN - Various strange and mystical incidents occurred at this temple. However, not all people have the capability of experiencing them. Probably, only ‘selected’ people can experience this spiritual sensation. The Tamba Waras Temple or commonly known as the Tambo Waras holds its pujawali or festival every six months namely on Buda Umanis Perangbakat. At that time, many pilgrims come here to say prayers. Nowadays, they are not only coming from Bali but also from outside Bali. It is surely meant to invoke safety. There are two types of medicine

provided here, one medicine to be drunk and another to be scrubbed at location of the pain. Actually, there are approximately 40 types of medicine made in this temple area.

The honey is not taken from anywhere but from the chamber shrine where the bees make their nests. Likewise, there is lungsir pancawarna or multicolored sea snail. People who suffer from diseases of the eye, this medicine can be invoked at the Batu Coblong spring shrine. Another shrine is called swine shrine where people can invoke medicine for their livestock.

thing of a miracle. “I don’t know why but it’s not sinking in just yet,” he said of the 60th win of his Formula One career. “And also the gap, it’s kind of hard to believe. “I definitely went into today thinking it was about damage limitation, it was trying to minimise the loss somehow. So, to come out the complete other direction, for sure it’s a shock.” Singapore offered Vettel the best chance of striking a blow against Hamilton and the four times champion knows Mercedes are unlikely to be so far off the pace at upcoming circuits. The German may come to look back on Singapore as the defining moment of a campaign that has already had several flashpoints. With six races remaining, Hamilton could before long find himself in a position where he doesn’t need to win another race this season. “Championship-wise it’s a big step forward,” said Wolff, who expressed some sympathy for Ferrari’s plight. “You can kind of feel for Ferrari. I’ve been in the situation of losing both cars, and you can relate how awful that feels for them. But I guess we’re not here to take prisoners.” (rtr)

Hamilton’s seventh win of the season fell into the Mercedes driver’s lap after title rival Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari team mate Kimi Raikkonen collided with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the start. With six races remaining, and seven wins in 14 now under his belt, the Briton is the clear favourite to take a fourth title this year. But he also knows, as much as Vettel, how fickle the championship can be. Last year Hamilton was leading from pole in Malaysia - the race after Singapore - when his car’s engine expired. The triple champion went on to win four of the last five races but the damage was done and nowretired German team mate Nico Rosberg won the championship by five points. “We mustn’t drop the ball,” team boss Toto Wolff told reporters on Sunday. “We just need to continue and get on with the job,” added the Austrian. “There’s lots of time for cheering when we’ve actually done it.” That said, even Hamilton found it hard to come to terms with the dramatic twist that turned damage limitation -- after he qualified fifth with Vettel on pole -- into some-

LILLE - France won a place in the Davis Cup final when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Dusan Lajovic 2-6 6-2 7-6(5) 6-2 to give the hosts a 3-1 victory over Serbia on Sunday. Playing on clay at Lille’s Pierre Mauroy stadium in front of an 18,000 crowd, France did not have it easy in their semifinal against a team deprived of former world number one Novak Djokovic as they set up a final at home against Belgium. France were the heavy favourites against Serbia and they delivered despite unexpectedly losing the first point when Lucas Pouille lost to Lajovic on Friday. French number one Tsonga, however, played solid tennis against Laslo Djere and Lajovic to give Les Bleus two points while grand slam champions Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert won their doubles against Filip Krajinovic and Nenad Zimonjic. “It was an exciting tie and the mindset was perfect,” said France team captain Yannick Noah. “There were ups and downs but let’s enjoy it. Being in the final was a dream.”

“I’m feeling good,” the Frenchman said, beaming. “It’s unbelievable for my team. I mean, it’s great to take your country and put them on top of the world. It’s good, it’s always nice.” France played their last final in 2014, losing in Lille to Roger Federer’s Switzerland. In the same arena, Tsonga was broken in the first game and he wasted a break point in the sixth game as Lajovic went 4-2 up in the potentially decisive reverse singles match. Tsonga kept misfiring and he dropped serve again in the seventh game with Lajovic bagging the first set easily. Lajovic, however, was a little shaky in the second set and handed Tsonga a break when he double faulted. Tsonga sealed the set on his opponent’s serve to level the match. The Frenchman, 18th in the ATP rankings, served well in the third, just like world number 80 Lajovic, and the set was decided in a tiebreak. Tsonga opened up a 6-3 lead and clinched the set with a service winner. (rtr)

United thrash Rooney’s Everton with late flurry of goals

Wayne Rooney suffered a miserable return to Old Trafford as his old club Manchester United thrashed Everton 4-0 with a flurry of late goals to go joint top of the Premier League on Sunday. Rooney, who went back to his boyhood club in July after 13 years with United in which time he scored a club-record 253 goals, wasted two good chances to cancel out Antonio Valencia’s stunning early strike for the hosts. He was substituted late on and then watched United add three more goals through Henrikh Mkhitaryan, former Everton striker Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial. A rather flattering victory lifted United level at the top with Manchester City. Both sides have 13 points from five games and have scored and conceded the same amount of goals. Everton, who had dominated much of the second half despite having little recovery time from Thursday’s Europa League defeat by Atalanta, dropped into the bottom three with four points. “I think the performance was very good, especially in the first 30 to 35 minutes,” United manager Jose Mourinho said. “It was probably our best performance of the season. “There was a moment were I felt we did not kill it so we have to make it solid with Ander Herrera. The second goal went in, then game over.”

Everton manager Ronald Koeman said his side’s third heavy defeat in eight days was undeserved. “Sometimes in football you get more than you deserve but today we deserved more than we got,” he said. “What I saw today of my team made me happy.” United took the lead after three minutes with a goal of stunning quality. Nemanja Matic played a crossfield pass and as the ball zipped off a rain-soaked surface, Valencia connected with a right-foot shot that flew past Jordan Pickford into the net. Rooney was given a warm ovation before kick off from the United fans, some of whom held up banners saying “Red Legend”, but it was not a memorable afternoon for the 31-year-old former England skipper. After 20 minutes he slid a left-foot shot wide of the post and in the second half he shot straight at United keeper David de Gea from close range, while Gylfi Sigurdsson was also denied by the Spaniard. Juan Mata struck the post for United with a left-foot free kick before Lukaku, who wasted a good chance in the first half, set up Mkhitaryan after 83 minutes to slide in United’s second -- the move stemming from a mistake by Ashley Williams. Lukuku joyfully rammed home his fifth league goal of the season as the game moved into stoppage time before former United player Morgan Schneiderlin handled in the area and substitute Martial tucked away the penalty.

MADRID - Zinedine Zidane asked Gareth Bale to step up his game ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with Real Sociedad on Sunday and the Welshman responded with a goal in the champions’ 3-1 win at Anoeta. With Cristiano Ronaldo suspended and Karim Benzema injured, the onus was on Bale to deliver as Madrid ended a blip which saw them draw two league games in a row and slip seven points behind rivals and league leaders Barcelona. Zidane’s side were excellent against Sociedad, with 20-yearold forward Borja Mayoral scoring one and prompting Kevin Rodrigues to score an own goal, while Bale’s strike was the icing on the cake. Asked about the midweek jeers and whistles from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu which prompted Zidane to say Bale had more to give, the winger said he would try to ignore them. “It’s normal, it happens in football. For me obviously I just have to try to keep my head down and keep working hard, and that’s all I can do,” Bale told Movistar. “I can’t control what goes on, I can only control how hard I work on the pitch. You go through ups and downs in your career, and it’s how you bounce back.” Bale’s 61st-minute goal helped Madrid to kill the game against dangerous opponents who had been

unbeaten this season. He raced on to Isco’s long, lofted ball, charged through on Geronimo Rulli’s goal and dinked the ball over him for his sixth goal in five matches at Anoeta. “It’s always great to score but the most important thing was to get the three points for the team, to get back to winning ways,” said Bale. “It was a great goal but the most important thing was to get the goal for the team, to get the win and close the gap at the top.” Bale helped Madrid to move up to fourth place, four points behind Barcelona, ahead of a run of league games which on paper look comfortable for the champions until they visit local rivals Atletico Madrid on Nov. 19. Zidane was pleased with how Bale, who has been plagued by injury for much of the year, responded to the criticism made of him by supporters and the Spanish media. “I’m very happy for him. They talk a lot about him but he showed the player he is, you have to have patience with him,” said the French coach. “I’m glad he scored because he needed it. It’s not easy, after running 70 metres, he finished very well technically and I’m happy for him. “For me he’s not at his best yet, I know that we will find that bit by bit, but you have to have patience.” (rtr)

Top sides will make Newcastle pay for missed chances

Newcastle United came away with a 2-1 win over Stoke City despite wasting several chances in front of goal and manager Rafa Benitez has warned his players such profligacy will be punished by the Premier League’s top teams. Benitez was back in the dugout on Saturday after a recent health scare but under orders to remain calm and a goal from Christian Atsu put a smile on his face after

19 minutes. However, his mood darkened as striker Joselu wasted three chances to increase their lead before Stoke equalised through Xherdan Shaqiri in the 57th minute. While skipper Jamaal Lascelles saved the day by scoring the winner with 20 minutes left to give Newcastle a third straight victory, Benitez was far from pleased at his side’s wastefulness.

“If we play against a top side and make the kind of mistakes we did here, we will pay for that,” he said in comments published by The Telegraph. “You have to believe that you can win against certain teams. “The team is believing in themselves, but there are still a lot of things to improve. “The main thing for me is to see the team working as hard as they were working. There were a lot of

Redknapp says his managerial career may be over Harry Redknapp said there is “every chance” he will never manage another football club again after being sacked by Birmingham City on Saturday. The 70-year-old, who joined the Championship club in April and helped them to avoid relegation last season, was sacked after losing 3-1 to Preston North End at the weekend, his sixth defeat in a row. “I doubt very much whether it will happen again now,” Redknapp told the BBC when asked if he would ever return to management. “I’m a realist. If I could help someone somewhere, help a young manager, I’d love that. I did it at Derby for a couple of months with Darren Wassall — we had a great time. “I’ve left (Birmingham) with a squad that will

excite the fans and take them one day hopefully where they deserve to be and that is back in the Premier League.” Birmingham have just one win and four points after eight games so far, and are second-bottom in the Championship table. Redknapp said failures in the transfer window had cost him, but backed the team to improve as the season wore on. “I still don’t think they’ll be far away from the play-offs,” he added. “This year has been a bit of a slog, trying to change the squad and getting people in. We couldn’t get the deals done we were trying to do and we got turned down for two work permits on two fantastic players. They’d have made a massive difference.” (rtr)
