Director Rian Johnson said “Episode VIII,” due out in theaters in December 2017, will break “a long-standing ‘Star Wars’ tradition” as each of the previous “Star Wars” films has picked up at least a year after the events of its predecessor.

“I didn’t want to skip ahead. That last moment of (Episode) VII, I want to see what happens next,” Johnson

told fans on Sunday gathered for the final day of the three-day Star Wars Celebration in London.

“Episode VIII” is the next installment in Walt Disney Co’s latest “Star Wars” trilogy that kicked off with last year’s “The Force Awakens,” featuring a new generation of characters led by Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn.

ment that sets up these characters and then just out of necessity it’s very natural that in the second film that we start zooming in on the characters,” Johnson said. On Sunday, rising star Alden Ehrenreich, 26, was officially introduced as Han Solo in a franchise spinoff due out in May 2018 that will follow an origin story of the handsome, rogue space smuggler made famous by Harrison Ford.

“As a kid, this character especially, you play make-believe and you kind of imagine what it would be like,” Ehrenreich said.

The biggest applause went to veteran “Star Wars” actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, who played siblings Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in the franchise.

Hamill said fans always ask if he and Fisher have a sibling-like relationship, to which he replies, “Yeah, we fight all the time and we’re not speaking to each other for years at a time.”

Disney is releasing three stand-alone films that will explore new realms and stories outside of the trilogies first set up in George Lucas’ 1977 “Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.”

On Friday, fans were shown exclusive footage from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” out this December, which features a new host of characters. (rtr)

DENPASAR - Agricultural sector in Bali actually has multiple functions. A professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, I Wayan Ramantha, compiled them from A to G. Agriculture functions as an asset (A) to the people of Bali. If the agricultural land is sold, it equally means that Balinese people have sold their asset to others. Then B, the farm is a business, it should not only be interpreted as mud or just planting rice, oranges and so forth.

“What we plant whether rice or tangerine is a commodity of business. There, we then talk about the quality and so on, so that it is easy to do trading in the agricultural sector,” he said in a discussion on agriculture in a series of the Bali Agribusiness Farmers Gathering held by Bali Post Media Group at Bali Banjar Global Shankara, Sanur.

Indonesia says its most wanted militant killed in gunbattle

JAKARTA — Indonesia’s most wanted Islamic militant was killed in a gunbattle with security forces, a top minister said Tuesday, in a victory for the government’s counterterrorism campaign that further tightens the vise on a dwindling band of extremists in the jungles of Sulawesi island.

Abu Wardah Santoso was one of two militants killed in the shootout Monday, Coordinating Minister for Security, Political and Legal Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan told reporters. The other was an extremist known as Mochtar, not Santoso’s deputy Basri, as police had initially thought.

Santoso, who headed the East Indonesia Mujahideen militant group that in 2014 claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group, had eluded

capture for more than five years.

About 2,500 security personnel, including elite army troops, intensified operations this year in Poso, a mountainous district of Central Sulawesi province considered an extremist hotbed, to try to capture Santoso and his followers.

“The strength of this extremist group will definitely weaken after the death of Santoso,” Pandjaitan said. “We will increase our forces to pressure the rest of the members.”

He said the group still has some 19 members. More than 20 were captured or killed in the past year.

The government’s focus on hunting down Santoso was questioned by experts as activity by Islamic State sympathizers increased in Java and other parts of Indonesia. In January, four IS supporters carried out a suicide bombing and shooting in the capital Jakarta in which eight people died, including the attackers.

Santoso was wanted for running a radical training camp in Poso, where a Muslim-Christian conflict killed at least 1,000 people from 1998 to 2002. He has been linked to a number of deadly attacks against police officers and Christians.

Like many other Indonesian extremists, his top enemy became the police following the break-up of a jihadist training camp in a remote part of Aceh in 2010 by the police anti-terrorism squad Detachment 88. Dozens of suspected militants were killed and more than 100 others arrested in the raid.

Santoso vowed revenge attacks and succeeded in killing at least six police officers. Late last year, security was raised at airports, the presidential palace, foreign embassies and shopping centers in Jakarta after Santoso appeared in a video on social media threatening attacks against police and other targets.

The bodies of Santoso and

Mochtar were identified at a police hospital in the capital of Central Sulawesi. National Police Chief Tito Karnavian said Santoso was identified by captured members of his group and others who had known him. Three people escaped from the shootout with security forces on Monday including two women.(ap) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY Agriculture...

From page 1

Ramantha continued that further function of the agriculture is related to culture (C) and demography (D).

Bali tourism is a cultural tourism, while Balinese culture is mostly from agriculture. On that account, when Balinese is speaking about life from tourism, it is essentially agriculture.

“When we want our tourism to last sustainably or if our officials have tourism mindset, the basic capital should be cared for, preserved and promoted so that it is sustainable,” he explained.

Ramantha added that agriculture also has ecological (E) function. In short, when the agricultural land such as paddy field is concretized, Bali will be hit by floods. That is why the agriculture must be maintained in order to avoid such a disaster. Then, there is a food (F) function where all foods must have come from agricultural sector.

“Then G is for God. Goddess Sri abides in paddy fields, so that Balinese people must be willing to farm because of Goddess Sri protects their paddy fields. But currently, for instance, when we ask migrants to work on our agricultural field, Goddess Sri is not willing to abide because Ms. Sri (migrant) has taken over,” he joked.

Ramantha asserted that so many functions of the agriculture must be preserved by all parties, namely the officials, the government in general and the community.

In the meantime, an architect of international kite, Ida Bagus Ugrasena, said that the triumph of Bali in the agriculture must be returned.

When looking back, the agricultural technology has existed in Bali since ancient times. This matter is supported by 3,000 palm-leaf manuscripts in the Documentation Center of the Bali Culture Agency as well as the literatures originating from India,

China and other countries.

“So, the glory of Bali in the agricultural field has occurred in the first century, with the presence of subak irrigation system. Thus, we have actually owned advanced technology in the traditional era and I’ve traveled around the world to introduce the technology through the kites,” he said.

Ugrasena added that Bali also has sunari or bamboo log flute, windmill and scarecrow to repel pests. This traditional technology has even been implemented on one million hectares of land in India. Missions like this continue to be introduced to the whole world with the hope it becomes the icon of Bali. In addition, it is also meant to regain back the heyday of Bali.

“Many Indians learn about agriculture to Tabanan known to have the icon as rice granary. It has been proven that today Bali rice has been in circulation throughout the world, chiefly in

major cities like Paris and New York, where Balinese rice is definitely sold there and I bought IDR 200,000 per plate for rice only,” he added.

On the other hand, the former Director General of Forestry, I Made Subadia, even observed that farmers still like to chime in as they did in the past. If a farmer grows rambutan, the other farmers will also plant rambutan. This condition then causes the price of agricultural commodity to slump during harvest season.

“If we return all of these, actually I have an ideal to build a smart farmer.

By doing so, they will understand about the selection of commodities and technologies. The technology here is in the sense of how to make the harvest can be tailored to the needs,” he said.

Subadia added that here the universities and the government play a very important role. Particularly it is in the making of engineering so that farmers can make a smart choice of

commodities and determine when to harvest, so that they can look for a higher price. “Unlike what they do today, farmers at home consider what they have planted is useless. After waiting for five years, the commodities are valueless when the harvest arrives,” he said.

Former Commander of the IX/ Udayana Military Region, Wisnu Bawa Tenaya, said there should a collaboration to perform farm clustering and soil research to find out appropriate plant and soil as well as the application of simple technology.

For example, farmers can develop herbs, vegetables and rare trees.

“From upstream to downstream is also important to get the attention.

Profit should not only be obtained by collectors, but also by farmers. So, both parties can equally enjoy the profits. It is just like in the same boat where all the sorrows and joys are faced together. A trouble shared is a trouble halved,” he said. (kmb32)

Hundreds of dolphin-shaped ecstasy pills confiscated

DENPASAR - After the Denpasar Police uncovered the case of ecstasy in the shape of penguin doll, then it is the turn for Bali Police Narcotic Investigation to seize 726 ecstasy pills in the shape of dolphin. The evidences worth half a billion were secured from the suspect with the initial Bud on Jalan Pura Demak, West Denpasar, Friday (Jul. 15).

According to a source at the Bali Police on Monday (Jul. 18), the investigator is still investigating the involvement of a Kerobokan Prison inmate, FN, related to the case. FN is a recidivist because previously the Denpasar Police arrested him

and now still undergoing two years of punishment. Allegedly he is a dealer of ecstasy for the suspect Bud. FN is still undergoing two years of punishment in prison.

“The suspect Bud was raided at his boarding house on Jalan Pura

Demak V, room number 4 approximately at 21:00. Reveal of the case was started with the information that a large amount of drug comes in Denpasar,” said a source requesting anonymity.

From the raids at the boarding house of the suspect, the officers secure four large plastic of ecstasy. Having been calculated, it amounted to 726 pills. Hundreds of the illicit goods belong to new kind because they resemble to candy in the shape of dolphin.

When questioned, the suspect sold the ecstasy belonging to FN for IDR 800,000 per item. He argued to need money for the Eid Al Fitr at his home village in Banyuwangi. Furthermore, he borrowed money to FN as much as IDR 4 million. Once the money is transferred, FN then asked the suspect to take ecstasy package at a location. Additionally, FN advised Bud to wait for further instruction.

The package containing hundreds of ecstasy pills were handed over to Bud by motorcycle rider in full-face

helmet. After handing over the package to Bud, the motorcyclist fled.

Bud took home the package. Two hours later, police arrested him.

When confirmed, the Director of the Bali Police Narcotic Investigation, Franky, justified the arrest.

“Well, we indeed have arrested a drug dealer and confiscated 726 ecstasy pills. As planned, tomorrow (Tuesday—Ed) we release the case to media,” said the former Director of Papua Police Narcotic Investigation. (kmb36)

Having stomach troubles? Try swallowing an origami robot

Kaushik Raghu, Senior Staff Engineer at Audi, takes his hands off the steering wheel while demonstrating an Audi self driving vehicle on I-395 expressway in Arlington, Va., Friday, July 15, 2016.

Plans for self-driving cars have pitfall: the human brain

WASHINGTON — Experts say the development of selfdriving cars over the coming decade depends on an unreliable assumption by many automakers: that the humans in them will be ready to step in and take control if the car’s systems fail.

Instead, experience with automation in other modes of transportation like aviation and rail suggests that the strategy will lead to more deaths like that of a Florida Tesla driver in May. Decades of research shows that people have a difficult time keeping their minds on boring tasks like monitoring systems that rarely fail and hardly ever require them to take action. The human brain continually seeks stimulation. If the mind isn’t engaged, it will wander until it finds something more interesting to think about. The more reliable the system, the more likely it is that attention will wane.

Automakers are in the process of adding increasingly automated systems that effectively drive cars in some or most circumstances, but still require the driver as a backup in case the vehicle encounters a situation unanticipated by its engineers.

Tesla’s Autopilot, for example, can steer itself within a lane and speed up or slow down based on surrounding traffic or on the

driver’s set speed. It can change lanes with a flip of its signal, automatically apply brakes, or scan for parking spaces and parallel park on command.

Joshua Brown, a 40-year-old tech company owner from Canton, Ohio, who was an enthusiastic fan of the technology, was killed when neither he nor his Tesla Model S sedan’s Autopilot braked for a truck making a left turn on a highway near Gainsville, according to federal investigators and the automaker.

Tesla warns drivers to keep their hands on the wheel even though Autopilot is driving, or the vehicle will automatically slow to a stop.

A similar self-driving system Audi plans to introduce in its 2018 A7 monitors drivers’ head and eye movements, and automatically slows the car if the driver’s attention is diverted.

But Brown’s failure to brake means he either didn’t see the truck in his path or saw it too late to respond — an indication he was

relying on the automation and his mind was elsewhere, said Missy Cummings, director of Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Laboratory. The truck driver said he had heard a Harry Potter video playing in the car after the crash.

“Drivers in these quasi- and partial modes of automation are a disaster in the making,” Cummings said. “If you have to rely on the human to see something and take action in anything less than several seconds, you are going to have an accident like we saw.”

Operators — an airline pilot, a train engineer or car driver — can lose awareness of their environment when they turn control over to automation, said Rob Molloy, the National Transportation Safety Board’s chief highway crash investigator.

He pointed to the crash of Air France Flight 447 into the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Brazil to France in 2007. A malfunction in equipment used to measure air speed caused the plane’s autopilot to disconnect, catching pilots by surprise. Confused, they caused an otherwise flyable plane to stall and fall from the sky, killing 228 people. (ap)

CAMBRIDGE — Has your child swallowed a small battery?

In the future, a tiny robot made from pig gut could capture it and expel it.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are designing an ingestible robot that could be used to patch wounds, deliver medicine or dislodge a foreign object. They call their experiment an “origami robot” because the accordion-shaped gadget gets folded up and frozen into an ice capsule.

“You swallow the robot, and when it gets to your stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds,” said Daniela Rus, a professor who directs MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. “Then, we can direct it to a very precise location.”

It’s still a long way before the device can be deployed in a human or animal. In the meantime, the researchers have created an artificial stomach made of silicone to test it.

Rus said one of the robot’s most important missions could be to save the lives of children who swallow the disc-shaped button batteries that increasingly power electronic devices. If swallowed, the battery can quickly burn through the stom-

ach lining and be fatal.

The robots could seek out and capture the battery before it causes too much damage, pushing it down through the gastrointestinal tract and out of the body.

The robot’s flexible frame is biodegradable, made of the same dried pig intestine used for sausage casing. The researchers scoured markets in Boston’s Chinatown before finding the right material to build an agile robot body that could dissolve once its mission was accomplished.

“They tried rice paper and sugar paper and hydrogel paper, all sorts of different materials,” Rus said.

“We found that sausage casing has the best properties when it comes to folding and unfolding and controllability.”

Embedded in its meaty body — it wouldn’t be hard to make a kosher version, Rus said — is a neodymium magnet that looks like a tiny metal cube.

Magnetic forces control its movement. Researchers use remote-control joysticks to change the magnetic field, allowing the robot to slip and crawl through the stomach on the way to the object it is trying to retrieve or the wound where it must deliver drugs. (rtr)

Many fishermen are still unable to operate GPS that could help them determine the position of the fish that they are looking for.

Fishermen face challenges of new technology

NEGARA - This year a number of fishermen groups in Jembrana received some assistance from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the government of Jembrana, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS). unfortunately many fishermen are still unable to operate these devices that could help them determine the position of the fish that they are looking for.

Chairman of the Indonesia Fishermen Association (HNSI) of Jembrana, I Made Widanayasa, said on Sunday (Jul. 17) that the GPS’ that the Ministry provided need to be accompanied with intensive training so that the

fishermen can actual operate these handy devices. Purse seiner vessels weighing 10-25 GT (gross tonnage) still rely on the captain to determine fishing locations and crews are still using floodlights on the ship to see where the fish are.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs will therefor also be providing submersible lights to facilitate the work of the fishermen.

“We have been relying on spotlights from our vessels so the these submersible spotlights should make it easier for us to spot the fish”, explained Widanayasa.

The 3 GT fibreglass boats that the government of Jembrana has provided to fishermen in the area have been welcomed with open arms and fishermen have found

them easy to accustom themselves to. Head of the Jembrana Marine Fisheries and Forestry, I Made Dwi Maharimbawa, said that this year the government of Jembrana will provide the fishermen groups with an additional 25 boats along with outboard engines and fishing gear. The ministry provided will be providing fish cages through fishermen cooperatives in Candikusuma (2 units), Sumbersari (1 unit) and Gilimanuk (2 units).

The GPS devices were handed out to the fishermen by the Minis-

ter of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, personally during her visit to the Nusantara fishing port (PPN) at Pengambengan not long ago. Fishermen were hopeful that these devices would help them find fish more easily especially with the added information that the Jembrana Marine Research and Observation Institute releases daily in their Regional Fishing Map Forecast (PPDPI). The fishermen however need to learn how to use these devices. (kmb26)

NEGARA - This year a number of fishermen groups in Jembrana received some assistance from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the government of Jembrana. One of them is the Global Positioning System (GPS) used to facilitate fishing vessels in determining the position of fish.

Unfortunately, many fishermen still have not been able to operate the device.

Chairman of the Indonesia Fishermen Association (HNSI)

of Jembrana, I Made Widanayasa, said on Sunday (Jul. 17) that the GPS given by the ministry still needs intensive assistance. It must be realized that most fishermen have not been able to operate the device. All this time, especially the purse seiner weighing 10-25 GT (gross tonnage) still rely on the captain to determine fishing location. The crews of fishing vessel also rely on floodlight of the vessel. On that account, in the near future the Ministry of

Maritime Affairs also provides a help in the form of submersible light used to highlight fish under the water.

“All this time we use the spotlights of the vessel. Thus, with the presence of submersible spotlights we expect to find out fish easier,” he explained.

In addition to GPS, the fishermen group also got the assistance in the form of fiber boat from the government of Jembrana. The fiber boat weighs less than 3 GT is ac-

ceptable to fishermen and has been accustomed to them.

The GPS assistance was previously submitted in person by Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, during her visit to the Nusantara fishing port (PPN) at Pengambengan not long ago. Fishermen hoped the GPS will help them find the position of fish. Moreover, in Jembrana sits a Marine Research and Observation Institute releasing daily Regional Fishing Map Forecast

(PPDPI).

The Head of the Jembrana Marine Fisheries and Forestry, I Made Dwi Maharimbawa, said that this year the government of Jembrana will provide 25 boats along with the outboard and fishing gear. The assistance will be distributed to fishermen groups, while the ministry provided fish cages through fishermen cooperative respectively at Candikusuma (2 units), Sumbersari (1 unit) and Gilimanuk (2 units).

District govt not define yet the target of modern stores

SEOUL - North Korea fired three ballistic missiles on Tuesday which flew between 500 and 600 km (300-360 miles) into the sea off its east coast, South Korea’s military said, the latest in a series of provocative moves by the isolated country.

GIANYAR - The government is still finalizing the continued plan on the implementation of paid plastic bags. A number of related matters will be examined so that the policy is effective and appropriate with the rules. One of the points need to be further formulated is the number of modern stores becoming the object of the policy. This was expressed by the Head of the Gianyar Trade and Industry Agency, I Wayan Suamba, Sunday (Jul. 17).

to determine how many modern stores will implement the paid plastic bag policy.

The problem is that currently there are 115 modern stores. Of these numbers, only 55 of which have been licensed, while 60 others are unlicensed alias illegal.

“We do not know where ever the circular will be addressed to. Similarly, we do not know about the unlicensed modern stores whether or not they will also be sent the circular. This matter still needs to be discussed. Our team will discuss it,” he said. (kmb25)

After Eid Al Fitr, Population operation intensified

NEGARA - A few days after the Eid Al Fitr, the Population and Civil Registry Office along the village authority performed population operation. A number of densely populated areas with migrant became the target of the operations by involving municipal police, rural police and village authority.

Similar operation was also carried out on Monday (Jul. 18) at the BTN housing complex of Baler Bale Agung village. The team coordinated by the Population and Civil Registry Office raided one by one of the houses inhabited by migrant population. From the operations held for two hours, the officers ensnared eight migrants that did not equip themselves with temporary resident letter (SKTS).

Application of paid plastic

Suamba said that to follow up the policy on the application of paid plastic bags the Industry and Trade Agency will issue a circular to retail and modern store entrepreneurs. But so far the agency is still unable to determine when the circular will be issued.

“Recently we just organized an initial meeting to discuss about the follow-up of the ministerial circular. So, there are things remaining to need further discussion,” he said.

Ketut Wiaspada, told journalists that population operation is carried out to anticipate mobilization of migrant after the Eid Al Fitr. Other than to rented houses, the raid also targeted boarding houses used as temporary shelter.

Of the eight migrants, according to him, the handling is handed over to village authority first. Actually the migrants netted last Monday had been reprimanded and signed an agreement to submit their SKTS. So, they were asked to re-sign similar agreement. If neglected, they will be reported to the Population and Civil Registry Office for further action. He said that the operation was deliberately done after the homecoming period when migrants are coming back to their diaspora destination. Other than sudden operation, the agency will also conduct joint operations with various agencies. (kmb26)

The U.S. military said it detected launches of what it believed were two Scud missiles and one Rodong, a home-grown missile based on Sovietera Scud technology.

North Korea has fired both types numerous times in recent years, an indication that unlike recent launches that were seen as efforts by the North to improve its missile capability, Tuesday’s were meant as a show of force.

“This smells political rather than technical to me,” said Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the U.S.-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, California.

“I think the number and distance of the missiles lets them remind the ROK (Republic of Korea) of what they are up against,” she said, referring to South Korea by its official name.

North Korea and the rich, democratic South are technically still at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.

The North regularly threatens to destroy the Japan, South Korea and the South’s main ally, the United States.

The launches came nearly a week after South Korea and the United States chose a site in the South to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system to counter threats from the North, which had prompted Pyongyang to threaten a “physical response”.

“Our assessment is that it was done as a show of force,” a South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff official said at a briefing.

The missiles were launched from an area in the North’s western region called Hwangju between 5:45 a.m. South Korea time (04:45 p.m. EDT Monday) and 6:40 a.m., the South’s military said, an indication that the North was confident they would not crash on its own territory. (rtr)

In this photo provided by Yan Cheng, a policeman and another man try to break the windows of a burning tour bus on the side of a highway in Taoyuan, Taiwan, Tuesday, July 19, 2016.

TAIPEI - A Taiwan tour bus carrying tourists from China crashed into a highway railing en route to the airport on Tuesday and burst into flames, killing all 26 on board, Taiwanese authorities said.

The bus was carrying 24 tourists on an eight-day tour organised by a travel agency in China’s northeastern province of Liaoning, authorities said in a statement. The driver and the tour guide, both from Taiwan, were also killed.

“The fire moved very fast. All 26 died,” Lu Jui-yao, an official with the National Highway Police Bureau, told reporters.

Taiwan is a popular destination for mainland tourists, who provide a major source of tourism revenue for the island. Traffic accidents in Taiwan involving Chinese tourists are not uncommon.

China regards Taiwan as a renegade province and for years travel between the two sides was restricted, but tourist exchanges have deepened over the past two decades, with many Chinese visiting the democratically ruled island for the first time.

The cause of the fire was unclear. Taiwan authorities were investigating.

Taiwan’s cabinet spokesman, Tung Chen-yuan, said government officials dealing with tourism and China affairs had reached out to their mainland counterparts and that they would help arrange for relatives of the victims to come to Taiwan.

The passengers were on their way to Taoyuan, the island’s main airport just south of the capital Taipei, for their flight back to China when the accident happened. (rtr)

President Jokowi receives report about death of Santoso

Exodus of professional workers reshaping Qatar

DOHA - Five years ago Samer Habib left the United Arab Emirates and moved to Qatar where he opened a restaurant that turned a profit serving Lebanese salads and sandwiches to expats. In June, the business folded.

The European lawyers and Indian clerks who for years frequented Habib’s restaurant have been leaving the country in recent months, he said, many laid off in sweeping cuts to public and private companies hastened by a fall in energy prices.

“Customers keep coming to me and saying: ‘Samer, this is my last sandwich’,” he said. “They say it’s been a tough year.”

Like other Gulf states heavily dependent on energy sales, Qatar - the world’s top liquefied natural gas exporter - has sought to cushion the impact of lower oil prices on its finances by raising utility bills and slashing spending.

Many of the foreign workers who make up the bulk of the 2.5 million-strong population have been affected. Companies in Qatar that rely on government contracts are feeling the pinch and are freezing salaries and terminating contracts of expatriate engineers, lawyers and consultants from countries including Britain, France, the United States and India.

This trend risks increasingly polarising the country between wealthy Qataris at the top and Asian blue-collar workers at the bottom.

Businesses that rely on the custom of professional foreign workers with their tax-free salaries and disposable income, including restaurants like Habib’s, private schools, car dealerships and shopping malls, could struggle to survive.

In 2015 state-run Qatar Petroleum let more than 1,000 foreign workers go as part of restructuring, according to the energy minister.

Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite news network owned by Qatar, closed its American channel in April and has laid off 500 staff, most of them in Doha. Vodafone’s Qatar subsidiary said in May it would cut about 10 percent of its workforce.

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo has received a report about a firefight in Poso, Central Sulawesi, which is believed to have killed wanted terrorist suspect Santoso.

In this Monday, July 18, 2016 photo, an Indonesian man shows his smartphone as he plays “Pokemon Go” in Jakarta, Indonesia. The hugely popular game has sparked a frenzy among Indonesian players despite the application is not officially available in the country. “Pokemon Go,” which uses Google Maps and a smartphone to overlay reality with Pokemon creatures, has been a blockbuster hit in the U.S. and other countries where it is available.

“The President has already received a report about it,” presidential spokesman Johan Budi said here on Monday when asked for his confirmation about the issue.

He said coordinating minister for politicsl, security and legal affairs Luhut Pandjaitan has reported about the fire fight in Poso involving the governments Tinombala Task Force.

Johan said five members of the Santodo-led group had been pacified including one similar to Santoso in the fight. “One of the bodies has a mole like that of Santosos,” Johan Budi said.

He said the firefight occurred at around 5pm Central Indonesia Time and the bodies had been taken to Palu for process of identification.(ant)

General Election Commission appoints French woman killed in traffic acciden new chairman

Zaha Hadid Architects/Handout via REUTERS

A computer generated image shows one of two project’s designed by Zaha Hadid – a 70,000sqm building featuring a hotel and residential apartments – which is scheduled for completion in 2020 in Qatar’s Lusail City Marina District.

FACEBOOK GROUP It is unclear exactly how many of Qatar’s 1.6 million foreign workers are departing, and the country’s population is still growing due to an influx of Asian workers building highways and stadiums for the 2022 soccer World Cup. But industry sources, including three company CEOs, told Reuters that job cuts were widespread and tens of thousands of white-collar workers had been laid off in the last two years.

A Facebook group set up in March for departing expatriates in Qatar selling cars and second-hand furniture has over 50,000 members and is updated hourly.

The small country is astonishingly wealthy - one of the richest in the world per capita - but faces a $12.8 billion budget deficit this year, its first in over a decade.

The government in December halved its forecasts for economic growth and last month said it expects to run a deficit for at least three years as low natural gas and oil prices strain revenues. The layoffs could further weigh on the economy.

Hotels, malls and private schools - projects conceived when oil prices were high and Qatar’s winning of the 2022 World Cup was driving infrastructure and population growth - now compete for the custom of a dwindling middle class of professionals.

Mohammed al-Emadi, a real estate tycoon who has developed a $1 billion luxury shopping centre in Doha that will open in September, said the mall’s cafés and fashion boutiques will have no trouble drawing customers.

But he concedes were it not for the project’s eye-catching design - a

marble structure modelled on a 19th century Italian galleria with shops tailored to super-rich Qataris, whose jobs have survived the austerity - his business might be in trouble.

“Ten to 12 malls are currently being built in Qatar and soon they will open,” Emadi said, adding that some mall owners were having to drop rent prices to attract tenants.

“This is not a good sign. In the current economy ... the market can’t handle any more malls.”

‘BUILDING TO DRIVE DEMAND’ Two other malls are set to open later this year - the Doha Festival City and the Mall of Qatar, a building equivalent in size to 50 football pitches with over 500 stores. Both projects have delayed their opening dates.

Hotel owners, too, have concerns

about an oversupply with government spending cuts affecting business tourism and leading to a 19 percent decline in hotel room prices in dollar terms this year, according to Ernst and Young.

Qatari politicians dismiss as scaremongering the notion of a capital flight. They say new facilities, including Doha’s Hamad International Airport, U.S. university campuses, and world-class swimming pools and stadiums, will continue to lure residents and visitors to the country, regardless of oil prices.

“Building will drive demand.

We are thinking long term, beyond 2022 (World Cup), and looking at areas of growth like regional tourism from the Gulf. Of course there is still room for malls and hotels ... these things are encouraging people to visit and work here,” said a Qatari government official.(rt)

JAKARTA - A French woman traveling on a car with her driver was killed in a traffic accident on the Cawang Toll road at 4 am local time on Tuesday, according to traffic police spokesman Commissioner Eko Setio.

“The French woman identified as Degoulange Francine Joelle (38) was killed and her driver was injured when their Avanza car hit a truck from behind,” Eko Setio remarked here on Tuesday.

He said the police had evacuated

the body o Joelle and the injured driver to Atmajaya hospital in Jakarta.

Setio said the driver of the illfated Avanza car was probably dozing off when the collision occurred.(ant)

Vice president lauds performance of Tinombala task force JAKARTA - Vice President Jusuf Kalla has praised the performance of the Tinombala Operations task force in paralyzing the Santoso-led terrorist group in Poso, Central Sulawesi.

The Tinombala operation, involving 2.5 thousand military and police personnel, began in January 2016 in line with President Joko Widodos firm directives to wipe out the terrorist group, which had made Poso a security threat for years.

The Tinombala Operations task force has neutralized the wanted terror suspect Santoso, who was killed during a gunfight in Poso on Monday.

“We highly laud the police and soldiers, who have conducted a large-scale operation for months to hunt down the terrorist leader,” the vice president remarked at the Pondok Gede Hajj Dormitory in East Jakarta on Tuesday.

Related to the alleged death of Santoso, the leader of the terrorist group in Poso, Kalla said the government was still awaiting the results of the investigation and identification by the relevant parties.

“If it is confirmed that Santoso is dead, then it means we can solve the problem in Poso. However, we are still awaiting a confirmation

on the result of a DNA test,” Kalla revealed.

Presidential spokesman Johan Budi remarked here on Monday that President Widodo had received a report on a gunfight in Poso, in which terror suspect Santoso was allegedly killed.

Johan said Coordinating Minister for Political, Security, and Legal Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan had reported about the gunfight in Poso that involved the governments Tinombala task force.

Johan noted that during the gunfight, five members of the group had been neutralized, including one bearing similarity to Santoso.(ant)

JAKARTA - Commissioner of the General Election Commission (KPU) Juri Ardiantoro has been appointed as the commissions new chairman to succeed the deceased Husni Kamil Manik. Ardiantoro was elected through a consensus during a closed-door plenary meeting at the KPU office here, Monday evening.

Ardiantoro, chairman of the Jakarta KPU for the 2008-2013 period and a graduate of the Malaya University in Malaysia, will chair the national KPU for eight months.

The plenary meeting was attended by five commissioners of the KPU --- Sigit Pamungkas, Ida Budhiati, Arief Budiman, Ferry Kurnia Rizkyansyah, and Juri Ardiantoro --- among others.

Manik died at the Pertamina Central Hospital in South Jakarta on July 7 while he was undergoing treatment for an infection that had spread across his body, affecting some of his organs.

KPU Commissioner Hadar Nafis Gumay informed Antara here on Thursday evening that Husni had, so far, showed no signs of suffering from any other illnesses or deteriorating health.

“My friends and I had never noticed him looking ill. What we knew is that he was undergoing massage therapy. An infection spread through his body. I do not know all the facts yet, as I have not met his family,” Gumay stated.

Manik was admitted to RSP Pertamina on Thursday morning and was pronounced dead by the doctors at 9:10 p.m. local time. He is survived by his wife and three children.

On July 12, the KPU named one of its commissioners, Hadar Nafis Gumay, as the acting chairman following the demise of Manik.

“The decision to elect (Gumay) has been agreed upon unanimously by all KPU commissioners,” KPU Commissioner Pamungkas noted.

Following the successful implementation of Indonesias first simultaneous and direct regional head elections (Pilkada) last year, the nation is hoping to hold a smooth and peaceful second Pilkada scheduled on February 15, 2017.(ant)

Turkey vows to remove Gulen movement ”by its roots” after failed coup

ANKARA - Turkey vowed on Tuesday to root out allies of the U.S.-based cleric it blames for a failed coup attempt last week, after an already deep purge of the army, police and judiciary, and said it had sent Washington evidence of his wrongdoing.

President Tayyip Erdogan and the government accuse Fethullah Gulen of orchestrating an attempted military takeover on Friday in which at least 232 people were killed, and have called in speeches for his extradition from the United

States.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim accused Washington, which has said it will only consider an extradition request if clear evidence is provided, of double standards in its fight against terrorism. He said the

justice ministry had sent a dossier to U.S. authorities.

Western leaders have expressed solidarity with the government over the coup attempt but also alarm at the sweeping response, urging Turkey to adhere to democratic values.

In a defiant parliament speech, Yildirim said the fact civilians had been targeted in the attempted power grab by a faction in the

military made it unprecedented in the history of Turkey, which last saw a violent coup more than 30 years ago.

“I’m sorry but this parallel terrorist organisation will no longer be an effective pawn for any country,” Yildirim said.

“We will dig them up by their roots so that no clandestine terrorist organisation will have the nerve to betray our blessed people again.”

Around 1,400 people were wounded as soldiers commandeered tanks, attack helicopters and warplanes in their bid to seize power, strafing parliament and the intelligence headquarters and trying to seize the main airport and bridges in Istanbul.

Authorities have suspended or detained close to 20,000 soldiers, police, judges and civil servants in the days since the coup bid. (rtr)

Islamic State flag found in room of German train attacker BERLIN - Police have found a hand-painted Islamic State flag in the room of a young Afghan refugee who attacked passengers on a train in southern Germany with an axe, a state minister said on Tuesday.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said however it was too early to say whether the youth was a member of Islamic State or any other militant group.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, according to its Amaq news agency.

The 17-year-old severely wounded four Hong Kong residents, two of whom are now in

critical condition, on the train late on Monday then injured a local woman after fleeing before police shot him dead.

The attack took place days after a Tunisian delivery man plowed a truck into crowds of revelers in the southern French city of Nice, killing 84. Islamic State has also claimed responsibility for that incident.

The case is likely to deepen worries about so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Europe and could put political pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants to Germany over the past year. (rtr)

BERN - World champion Peter Sagan claimed his third 2016 Tour de France stage victory when he pipped Alexander Kristoff on the line at the end of the 16th stage, a 209-km ride from Moirans-en-Montagne on Monday.

Norway’s Kristoff (Katusha) celebrated after crossing the line, but it was Slovak Sagan (Tinkoff) who actually finished first after throwing his bike in timely fashion, strengthening his grip on the green jersey for the points classification.

Another Norwegian, Sondre Holst Enger (IAM Cycling), took third place.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not spell out whether it would heed growing calls for Olympic bans already imposed on Russia’s track and field athletes and weightlifters to be extended to all its competitors in Rio. However, IOC President Thomas Bach said the independent World AntiDoping Agency (WADA) investigation had revealed “a shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games.

The IOC Executive Board is to hold a telephone conference on Tuesday to take its first decisions, which may include provisional measures and sanctions with regard to the Rio Olympics.

“Therefore, the IOC will not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organisation implicated.”

WADA itself explicitly urged the IOC to consider banning Russia from the Rio Olympics altogether.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who staked his reputation on the Sochi Games, the costliest in history, said the

WADA-backed report was the result of political interference and that the Olympic movement could now split.

The report confirmed allegations made

by Grigory Rodchenkov, former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory.

He told the New York Times two months ago that dozens of Russians had used performance-enhancing drugs in Sochi with the support not only of national sports authorities but even the domestic intelligence service, the FSB. Monday’s report said Russia, a traditional sporting superpower, had been stung into action by its performance at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, where it finished 11th, with only three gold medals.

“The surprise result of the Sochi investigation was the revelation of the extent of State oversight and directed control of the Moscow Laboratory in processing and covering up urine samples of Russian athletes from virtually all sports before and after the Sochi Games,” said the report, unveiled in Toronto.

Pressure to win league title more on new managers - Ranieri Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is not losing sleep over his team’s Premier League title defence and believes the pressure to succeed is more on the new managers of the big-name clubs.

Under Ranieri, 5000-1 outsiders Leicester won their first ever top flight title last season, with Manchester United and Chelsea failing to secure Champions League qualification and Manchester City only just making the top four.

The 2016-17 season will see some of the most prized managers with Jose Mourinho guiding Manchester United, Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Antonio Conte in charge of Chelsea.

Grigg, the Northern Ireland forward who became a cult hero at the European Championship without even playing, finished in joint 25th position. He tallied the same points as Pogba and Giorgio Chiellini.

The 10 candidates also include Madrid’s Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos, who both reached the Euro 2016 semifinals with Wales and Germany, respectively.

“Leicester City? People are just curious.

What will happen with Leicester? What can Leicester do next season? Repeat? “To win is a dream.”

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who played every game of Leicester’s titlewinning campaign, said the team remained equally hungry this season.

“I can assure you the hunger is 100 percent still there. We have to go again, do exactly the same again and see where it takes us. We have never said ‘this is what we are aiming for’,” Schmeichel told the BBC. “We go out, we work hard for each other and do our best. If someone is not pulling their weight - which barely ever happens - then they will be told. Part of being a really good squad is the togetherness and being able to trust each other.

Putin orders officials to speed up WCup stadium construction

In this Tuesday, April 5, 2016 file photo the stadium which will host some 2018 World Cup matches, under construction in St.Petersburg, Russia.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered officials in St. Petersburg to speed up construction of a trouble-plagued stadium which is scheduled to host 2018 World Cup games, including a semifinal.

In a decree published Monday on the Kremlin’s website, Putin said the stadium — provisionally named Zenit Arena — and other infrastructure must be built on time.

The decree said Putin instructed officials to “adopt comprehensive measures to eliminate the gaps” in the stadium’s construction schedule. He gave similar instructions to local authorities in Samara and Kaliningrad where two other World

Cup stadiums are being built.

The stadium in Russia’s secondlargest city has been in construction for almost a decade, and St. Petersburg City Hall announced Friday it had fired the general contractor over alleged cost overruns and delays. The stadium, which was to be completed this year and used for the 2017 Confederations Cup, is set to cost over $620 million.

FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fisher told The Associated Press on Monday that FIFA expects the stadium to be delivered in December.

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko gave assurances last week that the stadium will be built in time to host the Confederations Cup. (ap)

Chilean footballers vote to strike, matches called off

SANTIAGO - Chile’s footballers have voted to go on strike, forcing the start of the league season to be postponed.

The players’ union Sifup is unhappy at a decision to reduce promotion and relegation in the new season, a move which it says has cost 120 players their jobs in the top two divisions. It has also complained about unpaid wages at some clubs.

“The professional players unanimously decided to follow the call to stop the national championship,” said Sifup in a statement.

The Chilean FA (ANFP) has ruled that only one team will relegated and one team promoted between the top tier, known as the Primera Division, and second tier, known as the Primera B, at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Meanwhile, there will be no promotion or relegation at all between the second and third tier, known as the Segunda.

Sifup said the decision had “reduced the competitiveness of the domestic tournaments, where the clubs, who do not see themselves as threatened in case of a poor campaign, have drastically cut the costs of their squads.”

It said that 120 players had seen their contracts terminated in the top two tiers and 300 in the third tier.

The ANFP confirmed that the start of the season at the weekend would be postponed and said that the reduced promotion and relegation was for the upcoming season only.

“We regret Sifup’s decision to ratify the strike, a situation which will have negative efforts on the championship, the fans, the players and the sport in general,” it said. (rtr)

“Leicester City? People are just curious.

What will happen with Leicester? What can Leicester do next season? Repeat? “To win is a dream.”

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who played every game of Leicester’s titlewinning campaign, said the team remained equally hungry this season.

“I can assure you the hunger is 100 percent still there. We have to go again, do exactly the same again and see where it takes us. We have never said ‘this is what we are aiming for’,” Schmeichel told the BBC. “We go out, we work hard for each other and do our best. If someone is not pulling their weight - which barely ever happens - then they will be told. Part of being a really good squad is the togetherness and being able to trust each other.

Leicester begin their title defence at Hull on Aug. 13. (rtr)

Putin orders officials to speed up WCup stadium construction

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered officials in St. Petersburg to speed up construction of a trouble-plagued stadium which is scheduled to host 2018 World Cup games, including a semifinal.

In a decree published Monday on the Kremlin’s website, Putin said the stadium — provisionally named Zenit Arena — and other infrastructure must be built on time.

The decree said Putin instructed officials to “adopt comprehensive measures to eliminate the gaps” in the stadium’s construction schedule. He gave similar instructions to local authorities in Samara and Kaliningrad where two other World

Cup stadiums are being built.

The stadium in Russia’s secondlargest city has been in construction for almost a decade, and St. Petersburg City Hall announced Friday it had fired the general contractor over alleged cost overruns and delays. The stadium, which was to be completed this year and used for the 2017 Confederations Cup, is set to cost over $620 million.

FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fisher told The Associated Press on Monday that FIFA expects the stadium to be delivered in December.

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko gave assurances last week that the stadium will be built in time to host the Confederations Cup. (ap)

Chilean footballers vote to strike, matches called off

SANTIAGO - Chile’s footballers have voted to go on strike, forcing the start of the league season to be postponed.

The players’ union Sifup is unhappy at a decision to reduce promotion and relegation in the new season, a move which it says has cost 120 players their jobs in the top two divisions. It has also complained about unpaid wages at some clubs.

“The professional players unanimously decided to follow the call to stop the national championship,” said Sifup in a statement.

The Chilean FA (ANFP) has ruled that only one team will relegated and one team promoted between the top tier, known as the Primera Division, and second tier, known as the Primera B, at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Meanwhile, there will be no promotion or relegation at all between the second and third tier, known as the Segunda.

Sifup said the decision had “reduced the competitiveness of the domestic tournaments, where the clubs, who do not see themselves as threatened in case of a poor campaign, have drastically cut the costs of their squads.”

It said that 120 players had seen their contracts terminated in the top two tiers and 300 in the third tier.

The ANFP confirmed that the start of the season at the weekend would be postponed and said that the reduced promotion and relegation was for the upcoming season only.

“We regret Sifup’s decision to ratify the strike, a situation which will have negative efforts on the championship, the fans, the players and the sport in general,” it said. (rtr)

BERN - World champion Peter Sagan claimed his third 2016 Tour de France stage victory when he pipped Alexander Kristoff on the line at the end of the 16th stage, a 209-km ride from Moirans-en-Montagne on Monday.

Norway’s Kristoff (Katusha) celebrated after crossing the line, but it was Slovak Sagan (Tinkoff) who actually finished first after throwing his bike in timely fashion, strengthening his grip on the green jersey for the points classification.

Another Norwegian, Sondre Holst Enger (IAM Cycling), took third place.

“I thought I was second, really,” said Sagan, who now has 405 points to Briton Mark Cavendish’s 291 and looks set to win a fifth green jersey in Paris.

Briton Chris Froome (Team Sky) retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey after finishing in the leading pack in a twisting course finale in the Swiss capital.

“There was never a quiet moment, it’s good to have another day ticked off,” said Froome, who leads Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) by 1:47 and fellow Briton Adam Yates (Orica-Bike Exchange) by 2:45.

Fans, officials and riders observed a minute’s silence at 1200 local time, shortly before the start of the stage, in memory of the victims of the Bastille Day attack in Nice. (rtr)

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not spell out whether it would heed growing calls for Olympic bans already imposed on Russia’s track and field athletes and weightlifters to be extended to all its competitors in Rio. However, IOC President Thomas Bach said the independent World AntiDoping Agency (WADA) investigation had revealed “a shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games.

The IOC Executive Board is to hold a telephone conference on Tuesday to take its first decisions, which may include provisional measures and sanctions with regard to the Rio Olympics.

“Therefore, the IOC will not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organisation implicated.”

WADA itself explicitly urged the IOC to consider banning Russia from the Rio Olympics altogether.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who staked his reputation on the Sochi Games, the costliest in history, said the

WADA-backed report was the result of political interference and that the Olympic movement could now split.

The report confirmed allegations made

by Grigory Rodchenkov, former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory.

He told the New York Times two months ago that dozens of Russians had used performance-enhancing drugs in Sochi with the support not only of national sports authorities but even the domestic intelligence service, the FSB. Monday’s report said Russia, a traditional sporting superpower, had been stung into action by its performance at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, where it finished 11th, with only three gold medals.

“The surprise result of the Sochi investigation was the revelation of the extent of State oversight and directed control of the Moscow Laboratory in processing and covering up urine samples of Russian athletes from virtually all sports before and after the Sochi Games,” said the report, unveiled in Toronto.

Turkey vows to remove Gulen movement ”by its roots” after failed coup

ANKARA - Turkey vowed on Tuesday to root out allies of the U.S.-based cleric it blames for a failed coup attempt last week, after an already deep purge of the army, police and judiciary, and said it had sent Washington evidence of his wrongdoing.

President Tayyip Erdogan and the government accuse Fethullah Gulen of orchestrating an attempted military takeover on Friday in which at least 232 people were killed, and have called in speeches for his extradition from the United

States.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim accused Washington, which has said it will only consider an extradition request if clear evidence is provided, of double standards in its fight against terrorism. He said the

justice ministry had sent a dossier to U.S. authorities.

Western leaders have expressed solidarity with the government over the coup attempt but also alarm at the sweeping response, urging Turkey to adhere to democratic values.

In a defiant parliament speech, Yildirim said the fact civilians had been targeted in the attempted power grab by a faction in the

military made it unprecedented in the history of Turkey, which last saw a violent coup more than 30 years ago.

“I’m sorry but this parallel terrorist organisation will no longer be an effective pawn for any country,” Yildirim said.

“We will dig them up by their roots so that no clandestine terrorist organisation will have the nerve to betray our blessed people again.”

Around 1,400 people were wounded as soldiers commandeered tanks, attack helicopters and warplanes in their bid to seize power, strafing parliament and the intelligence headquarters and trying to seize the main airport and bridges in Istanbul.

Authorities have suspended or detained close to 20,000 soldiers, police, judges and civil servants in the days since the coup bid. (rtr)

Islamic State flag found in room of German train attacker BERLIN - Police have found a hand-painted Islamic State flag in the room of a young Afghan refugee who attacked passengers on a train in southern Germany with an axe, a state minister said on Tuesday.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said however it was too early to say whether the youth was a member of Islamic State or any other militant group.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, according to its Amaq news agency.

The 17-year-old severely wounded four Hong Kong residents, two of whom are now in

critical condition, on the train late on Monday then injured a local woman after fleeing before police shot him dead.

The attack took place days after a Tunisian delivery man plowed a truck into crowds of revelers in the southern French city of Nice, killing 84. Islamic State has also claimed responsibility for that incident.

The case is likely to deepen worries about so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Europe and could put political pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants to Germany over the past year. (rtr)

President Jokowi receives report about death of Santoso

Exodus of professional workers reshaping Qatar

DOHA - Five years ago Samer Habib left the United Arab Emirates and moved to Qatar where he opened a restaurant that turned a profit serving Lebanese salads and sandwiches to expats. In June, the business folded.

The European lawyers and Indian clerks who for years frequented Habib’s restaurant have been leaving the country in recent months, he said, many laid off in sweeping cuts to public and private companies hastened by a fall in energy prices.

“Customers keep coming to me and saying: ‘Samer, this is my last sandwich’,” he said. “They say it’s been a tough year.”

Like other Gulf states heavily dependent on energy sales, Qatar - the world’s top liquefied natural gas exporter - has sought to cushion the impact of lower oil prices on its finances by raising utility bills and slashing spending.

Many of the foreign workers who make up the bulk of the 2.5 million-strong population have been affected. Companies in Qatar that rely on government contracts are feeling the pinch and are freezing salaries and terminating contracts of expatriate engineers, lawyers and consultants from countries including Britain, France, the United States and India.

This trend risks increasingly polarising the country between wealthy Qataris at the top and Asian blue-collar workers at the bottom.

Businesses that rely on the custom of professional foreign workers with their tax-free salaries and disposable income, including restaurants like Habib’s, private schools, car dealerships and shopping malls, could struggle to survive.

In 2015 state-run Qatar Petroleum let more than 1,000 foreign workers go as part of restructuring, according to the energy minister.

Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite news network owned by Qatar, closed its American channel in April and has laid off 500 staff, most of them in Doha. Vodafone’s Qatar subsidiary said in May it would cut about 10 percent of its workforce.

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo has received a report about a firefight in Poso, Central Sulawesi, which is believed to have killed wanted terrorist suspect Santoso.

In this Monday, July 18, 2016 photo, an Indonesian man shows his smartphone as he plays “Pokemon Go” in Jakarta, Indonesia. The hugely popular game has sparked a frenzy among Indonesian players despite the application is not officially available in the country. “Pokemon Go,” which uses Google Maps and a smartphone to overlay reality with Pokemon creatures, has been a blockbuster hit in the U.S. and other countries where it is available.

“The President has already received a report about it,” presidential spokesman Johan Budi said here on Monday when asked for his confirmation about the issue.

He said coordinating minister for politicsl, security and legal affairs Luhut Pandjaitan has reported about the fire fight in Poso involving the governments Tinombala Task Force.

Johan said five members of the Santodo-led group had been pacified including one similar to Santoso in the fight. “One of the bodies has a mole like that of Santosos,” Johan Budi said.

He said the firefight occurred at around 5pm Central Indonesia Time and the bodies had been taken to Palu for process of identification.(ant)

General Election Commission appoints French woman killed in traffic acciden new chairman

Zaha Hadid Architects/Handout via REUTERS

A computer generated image shows one of two project’s designed by Zaha Hadid – a 70,000sqm building featuring a hotel and residential apartments – which is scheduled for completion in 2020 in Qatar’s Lusail City Marina District.

FACEBOOK GROUP It is unclear exactly how many of Qatar’s 1.6 million foreign workers are departing, and the country’s population is still growing due to an influx of Asian workers building highways and stadiums for the 2022 soccer World Cup. But industry sources, including three company CEOs, told Reuters that job cuts were widespread and tens of thousands of white-collar workers had been laid off in the last two years.

A Facebook group set up in March for departing expatriates in Qatar selling cars and second-hand furniture has over 50,000 members and is updated hourly.

The small country is astonishingly wealthy - one of the richest in the world per capita - but faces a $12.8 billion budget deficit this year, its first in over a decade.

The government in December halved its forecasts for economic growth and last month said it expects to run a deficit for at least three years as low natural gas and oil prices strain revenues. The layoffs could further weigh on the economy.

Hotels, malls and private schools - projects conceived when oil prices were high and Qatar’s winning of the 2022 World Cup was driving infrastructure and population growth - now compete for the custom of a dwindling middle class of professionals.

Mohammed al-Emadi, a real estate tycoon who has developed a $1 billion luxury shopping centre in Doha that will open in September, said the mall’s cafés and fashion boutiques will have no trouble drawing customers.

But he concedes were it not for the project’s eye-catching design - a

marble structure modelled on a 19th century Italian galleria with shops tailored to super-rich Qataris, whose jobs have survived the austerity - his business might be in trouble.

“Ten to 12 malls are currently being built in Qatar and soon they will open,” Emadi said, adding that some mall owners were having to drop rent prices to attract tenants.

“This is not a good sign. In the current economy ... the market can’t handle any more malls.”

‘BUILDING TO DRIVE DEMAND’ Two other malls are set to open later this year - the Doha Festival City and the Mall of Qatar, a building equivalent in size to 50 football pitches with over 500 stores. Both projects have delayed their opening dates.

Hotel owners, too, have concerns

about an oversupply with government spending cuts affecting business tourism and leading to a 19 percent decline in hotel room prices in dollar terms this year, according to Ernst and Young.

Qatari politicians dismiss as scaremongering the notion of a capital flight. They say new facilities, including Doha’s Hamad International Airport, U.S. university campuses, and world-class swimming pools and stadiums, will continue to lure residents and visitors to the country, regardless of oil prices.

“Building will drive demand.

We are thinking long term, beyond 2022 (World Cup), and looking at areas of growth like regional tourism from the Gulf. Of course there is still room for malls and hotels ... these things are encouraging people to visit and work here,” said a Qatari government official.(rt)

JAKARTA - A French woman traveling on a car with her driver was killed in a traffic accident on the Cawang Toll road at 4 am local time on Tuesday, according to traffic police spokesman Commissioner Eko Setio.

He said the police had evacuated

the body o Joelle and the injured driver to Atmajaya hospital in Jakarta.

Setio said the driver of the illfated Avanza car was probably dozing off when the collision occurred.(ant)

Vice president lauds performance of Tinombala task force JAKARTA - Vice President Jusuf Kalla has praised the performance of the Tinombala Operations task force in paralyzing the Santoso-led terrorist group in Poso, Central Sulawesi.

The Tinombala operation, involving 2.5 thousand military and police personnel, began in January 2016 in line with President Joko Widodos firm directives to wipe out the terrorist group, which had made Poso a security threat for years.

The Tinombala Operations task force has neutralized the wanted terror suspect Santoso, who was killed during a gunfight in Poso on Monday.

“We highly laud the police and soldiers, who have conducted a large-scale operation for months to hunt down the terrorist leader,” the vice president remarked at the Pondok Gede Hajj Dormitory in East Jakarta on Tuesday.

Related to the alleged death of Santoso, the leader of the terrorist group in Poso, Kalla said the government was still awaiting the results of the investigation and identification by the relevant parties.

“If it is confirmed that Santoso is dead, then it means we can solve the problem in Poso. However, we are still awaiting a confirmation

on the result of a DNA test,” Kalla revealed.

Presidential spokesman Johan Budi remarked here on Monday that President Widodo had received a report on a gunfight in Poso, in which terror suspect Santoso was allegedly killed.

Johan said Coordinating Minister for Political, Security, and Legal Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan had reported about the gunfight in Poso that involved the governments Tinombala task force.

Johan noted that during the gunfight, five members of the group had been neutralized, including one bearing similarity to Santoso.(ant)

JAKARTA - Commissioner of the General Election Commission (KPU) Juri Ardiantoro has been appointed as the commissions new chairman to succeed the deceased Husni Kamil Manik. Ardiantoro was elected through a consensus during a closed-door plenary meeting at the KPU office here, Monday evening.

Manik died at the Pertamina Central Hospital in South Jakarta on July 7 while he was undergoing treatment for an infection that had spread across his body, affecting some of his organs.

KPU Commissioner Hadar Nafis Gumay informed Antara here on Thursday evening that Husni had, so far, showed no signs of suffering from any other illnesses or deteriorating health.

“My friends and I had never noticed him looking ill. What we knew is that he was undergoing massage therapy. An infection spread through his body. I do not know all the facts yet, as I have not met his family,” Gumay stated.

Manik was admitted to RSP Pertamina on Thursday morning and was pronounced dead by the doctors at 9:10 p.m. local time. He is survived by his wife and three children.

On July 12, the KPU named one of its commissioners, Hadar Nafis Gumay, as the acting chairman following the demise of Manik.

“The decision to elect (Gumay) has been agreed upon unanimously by all KPU commissioners,” KPU Commissioner Pamungkas noted.

District govt not define yet the target of modern stores

SEOUL - North Korea fired three ballistic missiles on Tuesday which flew between 500 and 600 km (300-360 miles) into the sea off its east coast, South Korea’s military said, the latest in a series of provocative moves by the isolated country.

GIANYAR - The government is still finalizing the continued plan on the implementation of paid plastic bags. A number of related matters will be examined so that the policy is effective and appropriate with the rules. One of the points need to be further formulated is the number of modern stores becoming the object of the policy. This was expressed by the Head of the Gianyar Trade and Industry Agency, I Wayan Suamba, Sunday (Jul. 17).

to determine how many modern stores will implement the paid plastic bag policy.

The problem is that currently there are 115 modern stores. Of these numbers, only 55 of which have been licensed, while 60 others are unlicensed alias illegal.

“We do not know where ever the circular will be addressed to. Similarly, we do not know about the unlicensed modern stores whether or not they will also be sent the circular. This matter still needs to be discussed. Our team will discuss it,” he said. (kmb25)

After Eid Al Fitr, Population operation intensified

NEGARA - A few days after the Eid Al Fitr, the Population and Civil Registry Office along the village authority performed population operation. A number of densely populated areas with migrant became the target of the operations by involving municipal police, rural police and village authority.

Similar operation was also carried out on Monday (Jul. 18) at the BTN housing complex of Baler Bale Agung village. The team coordinated by the Population and Civil Registry Office raided one by one of the houses inhabited by migrant population. From the operations held for two hours, the officers ensnared eight migrants that did not equip themselves with temporary resident letter (SKTS).

Ketut Wiaspada, told journalists that population operation is carried out to anticipate mobilization of migrant after the Eid Al Fitr. Other than to rented houses, the raid also targeted boarding houses used as temporary shelter.

Of the eight migrants, according to him, the handling is handed over to village authority first. Actually the migrants netted last Monday had been reprimanded and signed an agreement to submit their SKTS. So, they were asked to re-sign similar agreement. If neglected, they will be reported to the Population and Civil Registry Office for further action. He said that the operation was deliberately done after the homecoming period when migrants are coming back to their diaspora destination. Other than sudden operation, the agency will also conduct joint operations with various agencies. (kmb26)

The U.S. military said it detected launches of what it believed were two Scud missiles and one Rodong, a home-grown missile based on Sovietera Scud technology.

North Korea has fired both types numerous times in recent years, an indication that unlike recent launches that were seen as efforts by the North to improve its missile capability, Tuesday’s were meant as a show of force.

“This smells political rather than technical to me,” said Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the U.S.-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, California.

“I think the number and distance of the missiles lets them remind the ROK (Republic of Korea) of what they are up against,” she said, referring to South Korea by its official name.

North Korea and the rich, democratic South are technically still at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.

The North regularly threatens to destroy the Japan, South Korea and the South’s main ally, the United States.

The launches came nearly a week after South Korea and the United States chose a site in the South to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system to counter threats from the North, which had prompted Pyongyang to threaten a “physical response”.

“Our assessment is that it was done as a show of force,” a South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff official said at a briefing.

The missiles were launched from an area in the North’s western region called Hwangju between 5:45 a.m. South Korea time (04:45 p.m. EDT Monday) and 6:40 a.m., the South’s military said, an indication that the North was confident they would not crash on its own territory. (rtr)

In this photo provided by Yan Cheng, a policeman and another man try to break the windows of a burning tour bus on the side of a highway in Taoyuan, Taiwan, Tuesday, July 19, 2016.

TAIPEI - A Taiwan tour bus carrying tourists from China crashed into a highway railing en route to the airport on Tuesday and burst into flames, killing all 26 on board, Taiwanese authorities said.

The bus was carrying 24 tourists on an eight-day tour organised by a travel agency in China’s northeastern province of Liaoning, authorities said in a statement. The driver and the tour guide, both from Taiwan, were also killed.

“The fire moved very fast. All 26 died,” Lu Jui-yao, an official with the National Highway Police Bureau, told reporters.

Taiwan is a popular destination for mainland tourists, who provide a major source of tourism revenue for the island. Traffic accidents in Taiwan involving Chinese tourists are not uncommon.

China regards Taiwan as a renegade province and for years travel between the two sides was restricted, but tourist exchanges have deepened over the past two decades, with many Chinese visiting the democratically ruled island for the first time.

The cause of the fire was unclear. Taiwan authorities were investigating.

Taiwan’s cabinet spokesman, Tung Chen-yuan, said government officials dealing with tourism and China affairs had reached out to their mainland counterparts and that they would help arrange for relatives of the victims to come to Taiwan.

Having stomach troubles? Try swallowing an origami robot

Plans for self-driving cars have pitfall: the human brain

WASHINGTON — Experts say the development of selfdriving cars over the coming decade depends on an unreliable assumption by many automakers: that the humans in them will be ready to step in and take control if the car’s systems fail.

Instead, experience with automation in other modes of transportation like aviation and rail suggests that the strategy will lead to more deaths like that of a Florida Tesla driver in May. Decades of research shows that people have a difficult time keeping their minds on boring tasks like monitoring systems that rarely fail and hardly ever require them to take action. The human brain continually seeks stimulation. If the mind isn’t engaged, it will wander until it finds something more interesting to think about. The more reliable the system, the more likely it is that attention will wane.

Automakers are in the process of adding increasingly automated systems that effectively drive cars in some or most circumstances, but still require the driver as a backup in case the vehicle encounters a situation unanticipated by its engineers.

Tesla’s Autopilot, for example, can steer itself within a lane and speed up or slow down based on surrounding traffic or on the

driver’s set speed. It can change lanes with a flip of its signal, automatically apply brakes, or scan for parking spaces and parallel park on command.

Joshua Brown, a 40-year-old tech company owner from Canton, Ohio, who was an enthusiastic fan of the technology, was killed when neither he nor his Tesla Model S sedan’s Autopilot braked for a truck making a left turn on a highway near Gainsville, according to federal investigators and the automaker.

Tesla warns drivers to keep their hands on the wheel even though Autopilot is driving, or the vehicle will automatically slow to a stop.

A similar self-driving system Audi plans to introduce in its 2018 A7 monitors drivers’ head and eye movements, and automatically slows the car if the driver’s attention is diverted.

But Brown’s failure to brake means he either didn’t see the truck in his path or saw it too late to respond — an indication he was

relying on the automation and his mind was elsewhere, said Missy Cummings, director of Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Laboratory. The truck driver said he had heard a Harry Potter video playing in the car after the crash.

“Drivers in these quasi- and partial modes of automation are a disaster in the making,” Cummings said. “If you have to rely on the human to see something and take action in anything less than several seconds, you are going to have an accident like we saw.”

Operators — an airline pilot, a train engineer or car driver — can lose awareness of their environment when they turn control over to automation, said Rob Molloy, the National Transportation Safety Board’s chief highway crash investigator.

He pointed to the crash of Air France Flight 447 into the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Brazil to France in 2007. A malfunction in equipment used to measure air speed caused the plane’s autopilot to disconnect, catching pilots by surprise. Confused, they caused an otherwise flyable plane to stall and fall from the sky, killing 228 people. (ap)

CAMBRIDGE — Has your child swallowed a small battery?

In the future, a tiny robot made from pig gut could capture it and expel it.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are designing an ingestible robot that could be used to patch wounds, deliver medicine or dislodge a foreign object. They call their experiment an “origami robot” because the accordion-shaped gadget gets folded up and frozen into an ice capsule.

“You swallow the robot, and when it gets to your stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds,” said Daniela Rus, a professor who directs MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. “Then, we can direct it to a very precise location.”

It’s still a long way before the device can be deployed in a human or animal. In the meantime, the researchers have created an artificial stomach made of silicone to test it.

Rus said one of the robot’s most important missions could be to save the lives of children who swallow the disc-shaped button batteries that increasingly power electronic devices. If swallowed, the battery can quickly burn through the stom-

ach lining and be fatal.

The robots could seek out and capture the battery before it causes too much damage, pushing it down through the gastrointestinal tract and out of the body.

The robot’s flexible frame is biodegradable, made of the same dried pig intestine used for sausage casing. The researchers scoured markets in Boston’s Chinatown before finding the right material to build an agile robot body that could dissolve once its mission was accomplished.

“They tried rice paper and sugar paper and hydrogel paper, all sorts of different materials,” Rus said.

“We found that sausage casing has the best properties when it comes to folding and unfolding and controllability.”

Embedded in its meaty body — it wouldn’t be hard to make a kosher version, Rus said — is a neodymium magnet that looks like a tiny metal cube.

Magnetic forces control its movement. Researchers use remote-control joysticks to change the magnetic field, allowing the robot to slip and crawl through the stomach on the way to the object it is trying to retrieve or the wound where it must deliver drugs. (rtr)

Many fishermen are still unable to operate GPS that could help them determine the position of the fish that they are looking for.

Fishermen face challenges of new technology

NEGARA - This year a number of fishermen groups in Jembrana received some assistance from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the government of Jembrana, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS). unfortunately many fishermen are still unable to operate these devices that could help them determine the position of the fish that they are looking for.

Chairman of the Indonesia Fishermen Association (HNSI) of Jembrana, I Made Widanayasa, said on Sunday (Jul. 17) that the GPS’ that the Ministry provided need to be accompanied with intensive training so that the

fishermen can actual operate these handy devices. Purse seiner vessels weighing 10-25 GT (gross tonnage) still rely on the captain to determine fishing locations and crews are still using floodlights on the ship to see where the fish are.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs will therefor also be providing submersible lights to facilitate the work of the fishermen.

“We have been relying on spotlights from our vessels so the these submersible spotlights should make it easier for us to spot the fish”, explained Widanayasa.

The 3 GT fibreglass boats that the government of Jembrana has provided to fishermen in the area have been welcomed with open arms and fishermen have found

them easy to accustom themselves to. Head of the Jembrana Marine Fisheries and Forestry, I Made Dwi Maharimbawa, said that this year the government of Jembrana will provide the fishermen groups with an additional 25 boats along with outboard engines and fishing gear. The ministry provided will be providing fish cages through fishermen cooperatives in Candikusuma (2 units), Sumbersari (1 unit) and Gilimanuk (2 units).

The GPS devices were handed out to the fishermen by the Minis-

ter of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, personally during her visit to the Nusantara fishing port (PPN) at Pengambengan not long ago. Fishermen were hopeful that these devices would help them find fish more easily especially with the added information that the Jembrana Marine Research and Observation Institute releases daily in their Regional Fishing Map Forecast (PPDPI). The fishermen however need to learn how to use these devices. (kmb26)

NEGARA - This year a number of fishermen groups in Jembrana received some assistance from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the government of Jembrana. One of them is the Global Positioning System (GPS) used to facilitate fishing vessels in determining the position of fish.

Unfortunately, many fishermen still have not been able to operate the device.

Chairman of the Indonesia Fishermen Association (HNSI)

of Jembrana, I Made Widanayasa, said on Sunday (Jul. 17) that the GPS given by the ministry still needs intensive assistance. It must be realized that most fishermen have not been able to operate the device. All this time, especially the purse seiner weighing 10-25 GT (gross tonnage) still rely on the captain to determine fishing location. The crews of fishing vessel also rely on floodlight of the vessel. On that account, in the near future the Ministry of

Maritime Affairs also provides a help in the form of submersible light used to highlight fish under the water.

“All this time we use the spotlights of the vessel. Thus, with the presence of submersible spotlights we expect to find out fish easier,” he explained.

In addition to GPS, the fishermen group also got the assistance in the form of fiber boat from the government of Jembrana. The fiber boat weighs less than 3 GT is ac-

ceptable to fishermen and has been accustomed to them.

The GPS assistance was previously submitted in person by Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, during her visit to the Nusantara fishing port (PPN) at Pengambengan not long ago. Fishermen hoped the GPS will help them find the position of fish. Moreover, in Jembrana sits a Marine Research and Observation Institute releasing daily Regional Fishing Map Forecast

(PPDPI).

The Head of the Jembrana Marine Fisheries and Forestry, I Made Dwi Maharimbawa, said that this year the government of Jembrana will provide 25 boats along with the outboard and fishing gear. The assistance will be distributed to fishermen groups, while the ministry provided fish cages through fishermen cooperative respectively at Candikusuma (2 units), Sumbersari (1 unit) and Gilimanuk (2 units).

COVER STORY Agriculture...

From page 1

Ramantha continued that further function of the agriculture is related to culture (C) and demography (D).

Bali tourism is a cultural tourism, while Balinese culture is mostly from agriculture. On that account, when Balinese is speaking about life from tourism, it is essentially agriculture.

“When we want our tourism to last sustainably or if our officials have tourism mindset, the basic capital should be cared for, preserved and promoted so that it is sustainable,” he explained.

Ramantha added that agriculture also has ecological (E) function. In short, when the agricultural land such as paddy field is concretized, Bali will be hit by floods. That is why the agriculture must be maintained in order to avoid such a disaster. Then, there is a food (F) function where all foods must have come from agricultural sector.

“Then G is for God. Goddess Sri abides in paddy fields, so that Balinese people must be willing to farm because of Goddess Sri protects their paddy fields. But currently, for instance, when we ask migrants to work on our agricultural field, Goddess Sri is not willing to abide because Ms. Sri (migrant) has taken over,” he joked.

Ramantha asserted that so many functions of the agriculture must be preserved by all parties, namely the officials, the government in general and the community.

In the meantime, an architect of international kite, Ida Bagus Ugrasena, said that the triumph of Bali in the agriculture must be returned.

When looking back, the agricultural technology has existed in Bali since ancient times. This matter is supported by 3,000 palm-leaf manuscripts in the Documentation Center of the Bali Culture Agency as well as the literatures originating from India,

China and other countries.

“So, the glory of Bali in the agricultural field has occurred in the first century, with the presence of subak irrigation system. Thus, we have actually owned advanced technology in the traditional era and I’ve traveled around the world to introduce the technology through the kites,” he said.

Ugrasena added that Bali also has sunari or bamboo log flute, windmill and scarecrow to repel pests. This traditional technology has even been implemented on one million hectares of land in India. Missions like this continue to be introduced to the whole world with the hope it becomes the icon of Bali. In addition, it is also meant to regain back the heyday of Bali.

“Many Indians learn about agriculture to Tabanan known to have the icon as rice granary. It has been proven that today Bali rice has been in circulation throughout the world, chiefly in

major cities like Paris and New York, where Balinese rice is definitely sold there and I bought IDR 200,000 per plate for rice only,” he added.

On the other hand, the former Director General of Forestry, I Made Subadia, even observed that farmers still like to chime in as they did in the past. If a farmer grows rambutan, the other farmers will also plant rambutan. This condition then causes the price of agricultural commodity to slump during harvest season.

“If we return all of these, actually I have an ideal to build a smart farmer.

By doing so, they will understand about the selection of commodities and technologies. The technology here is in the sense of how to make the harvest can be tailored to the needs,” he said.

Subadia added that here the universities and the government play a very important role. Particularly it is in the making of engineering so that farmers can make a smart choice of

commodities and determine when to harvest, so that they can look for a higher price. “Unlike what they do today, farmers at home consider what they have planted is useless. After waiting for five years, the commodities are valueless when the harvest arrives,” he said.

Former Commander of the IX/ Udayana Military Region, Wisnu Bawa Tenaya, said there should a collaboration to perform farm clustering and soil research to find out appropriate plant and soil as well as the application of simple technology.

For example, farmers can develop herbs, vegetables and rare trees.

“From upstream to downstream is also important to get the attention.

Profit should not only be obtained by collectors, but also by farmers. So, both parties can equally enjoy the profits. It is just like in the same boat where all the sorrows and joys are faced together. A trouble shared is a trouble halved,” he said. (kmb32)

Hundreds of dolphin-shaped ecstasy pills confiscated

DENPASAR - After the Denpasar Police uncovered the case of ecstasy in the shape of penguin doll, then it is the turn for Bali Police Narcotic Investigation to seize 726 ecstasy pills in the shape of dolphin. The evidences worth half a billion were secured from the suspect with the initial Bud on Jalan Pura Demak, West Denpasar, Friday (Jul. 15).

According to a source at the Bali Police on Monday (Jul. 18), the investigator is still investigating the involvement of a Kerobokan Prison inmate, FN, related to the case. FN is a recidivist because previously the Denpasar Police arrested him

and now still undergoing two years of punishment. Allegedly he is a dealer of ecstasy for the suspect Bud. FN is still undergoing two years of punishment in prison.

“The suspect Bud was raided at his boarding house on Jalan Pura

Demak V, room number 4 approximately at 21:00. Reveal of the case was started with the information that a large amount of drug comes in Denpasar,” said a source requesting anonymity.

From the raids at the boarding house of the suspect, the officers secure four large plastic of ecstasy. Having been calculated, it amounted to 726 pills. Hundreds of the illicit goods belong to new kind because they resemble to candy in the shape of dolphin.

When questioned, the suspect sold the ecstasy belonging to FN for IDR 800,000 per item. He argued to need money for the Eid Al Fitr at his home village in Banyuwangi. Furthermore, he borrowed money to FN as much as IDR 4 million. Once the money is transferred, FN then asked the suspect to take ecstasy package at a location. Additionally, FN advised Bud to wait for further instruction.

The package containing hundreds of ecstasy pills were handed over to Bud by motorcycle rider in full-face

helmet. After handing over the package to Bud, the motorcyclist fled.

Bud took home the package. Two hours later, police arrested him.

When confirmed, the Director of the Bali Police Narcotic Investigation, Franky, justified the arrest.

“Well, we indeed have arrested a drug dealer and confiscated 726 ecstasy pills. As planned, tomorrow (Tuesday—Ed) we release the case to media,” said the former Director of Papua Police Narcotic Investigation. (kmb36)

Persons wearing Star Wars costumes are seen during the Metropoli (Media Culture and Entertainment Festival) parade in Gijon, northern Spain July 3, 2016.

Director Rian Johnson said “Episode VIII,” due out in theaters in December 2017, will break “a long-standing ‘Star Wars’ tradition” as each of the previous “Star Wars” films has picked up at least a year after the events of its predecessor.

“I didn’t want to skip ahead. That last moment of (Episode) VII, I want to see what happens next,” Johnson

told fans on Sunday gathered for the final day of the three-day Star Wars Celebration in London.

“Episode VIII” is the next installment in Walt Disney Co’s latest “Star Wars” trilogy that kicked off with last year’s “The Force Awakens,” featuring a new generation of characters led by Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn.

ment that sets up these characters and then just out of necessity it’s very natural that in the second film that we start zooming in on the characters,” Johnson said. On Sunday, rising star Alden Ehrenreich, 26, was officially introduced as Han Solo in a franchise spinoff due out in May 2018 that will follow an origin story of the handsome, rogue space smuggler made famous by Harrison Ford.

“As a kid, this character especially, you play make-believe and you kind of imagine what it would be like,” Ehrenreich said.

The biggest applause went to veteran “Star Wars” actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, who played siblings Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in the franchise.

Hamill said fans always ask if he and Fisher have a sibling-like relationship, to which he replies, “Yeah, we fight all the time and we’re not speaking to each other for years at a time.”

Disney is releasing three stand-alone films that will explore new realms and stories outside of the trilogies first set up in George Lucas’ 1977 “Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.”

On Friday, fans were shown exclusive footage from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” out this December, which features a new host of characters. (rtr)

DENPASAR - Agricultural sector in Bali actually has multiple functions. A professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, I Wayan Ramantha, compiled them from A to G. Agriculture functions as an asset (A) to the people of Bali. If the agricultural land is sold, it equally means that Balinese people have sold their asset to others. Then B, the farm is a business, it should not only be interpreted as mud or just planting rice, oranges and so forth.

“What we plant whether rice or tangerine is a commodity of business. There, we then talk about the quality and so on, so that it is easy to do trading in the agricultural sector,” he said in a discussion on agriculture in a series of the Bali Agribusiness Farmers Gathering held by Bali Post Media Group at Bali Banjar Global Shankara, Sanur.

Indonesia says its most wanted militant killed in gunbattle

JAKARTA — Indonesia’s most wanted Islamic militant was killed in a gunbattle with security forces, a top minister said Tuesday, in a victory for the government’s counterterrorism campaign that further tightens the vise on a dwindling band of extremists in the jungles of Sulawesi island.

Abu Wardah Santoso was one of two militants killed in the shootout Monday, Coordinating Minister for Security, Political and Legal Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan told reporters. The other was an extremist known as Mochtar, not Santoso’s deputy Basri, as police had initially thought.

Santoso, who headed the East Indonesia Mujahideen militant group that in 2014 claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group, had eluded

capture for more than five years.

About 2,500 security personnel, including elite army troops, intensified operations this year in Poso, a mountainous district of Central Sulawesi province considered an extremist hotbed, to try to capture Santoso and his followers.

“The strength of this extremist group will definitely weaken after the death of Santoso,” Pandjaitan said. “We will increase our forces to pressure the rest of the members.”

He said the group still has some 19 members. More than 20 were captured or killed in the past year.

The government’s focus on hunting down Santoso was questioned by experts as activity by Islamic State sympathizers increased in Java and other parts of Indonesia. In January, four IS supporters carried out a suicide bombing and shooting in the capital Jakarta in which eight people died, including the attackers.

Santoso was wanted for running a radical training camp in Poso, where a Muslim-Christian conflict killed at least 1,000 people from 1998 to 2002. He has been linked to a number of deadly attacks against police officers and Christians.

Like many other Indonesian extremists, his top enemy became the police following the break-up of a jihadist training camp in a remote part of Aceh in 2010 by the police anti-terrorism squad Detachment 88. Dozens of suspected militants were killed and more than 100 others arrested in the raid.

Santoso vowed revenge attacks and succeeded in killing at least six police officers. Late last year, security was raised at airports, the presidential palace, foreign embassies and shopping centers in Jakarta after Santoso appeared in a video on social media threatening attacks against police and other targets.

The bodies of Santoso and

Mochtar were identified at a police hospital in the capital of Central Sulawesi. National Police Chief Tito Karnavian said Santoso was identified by captured members of his group and others who had known him. Three people escaped from the shootout with security forces on Monday including two women.(ap) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
