Drew Barrymore’s sets new sights for beauty brand

NEW YORK — Hollywood actress, director and author Drew Barrymore may soon add a new title to her resume: international retailer.

Barrymore launched her Flower brand of affordable cosmetics exclusively at Wal-Mart in 2013. Now she says she’s in talks with retailers overseas to sell the cosmetics in such places as China, South America, Australia and the United Kingdom. She’ll also be launching her own e-commerce business later this year.

Last year, she started selling an eyewear collection, also exclusively with Wal-Mart. And Barrymore told The Associated Press earlier this week she wants to expand into clothing, though it’s unlikely it will be with Wal-Mart, even though she said she will always give the Bentonville, Arkansas-based discounter “first right of refusal.” Barrymore didn’t want to use her name for the brand, saying she’s aware of the perils of a slapping celebrity name on a product. “The name of the game is about how you financially succeed fast enough so somebody doesn’t dump you, and grow slowly and thoughtfully so that you are just not a flash in the pan,” said Barrymore, 40, in a onehour address at the annual industry forum sponsored by investment bank Financo on Monday. Her father-in-law Arie Kopelman, the former president of Chanel, led the discussion in a room full of several hundred fashion industry executives. Barrymore, the mother of two toddlers, has found a successful niche in the beauty business. Unlike other cosmetic brands that spend a big portion of their money on advertising, the Flower brand spends most of its money on formulations and packaging. That results in premium makeup quality, she said. Flower Beauty, launched in 1,600 stores, is now in 2,500 stores, according to Wal-Mart spokeswoman Molly Blakeman. Neither Barrymore nor Wal-Mart offered sales volume. The Flower Beauty line, which includes fragrances, ranges from $5 for lip gloss to about $14 for foundation. Barrymore’s message is about self-empowerment and inner beauty, with messages like, “Happiness is the best makeup.” Wal-Mart says that the Flower eyewear is in all its stores that have vision centers, which number close to 3,000. Barrymore said it is the No. 1 brand of eyewear at the discounter, although Wal-Mart could not confirm that publicly. It ranges in price from $39 to $88. Wal-Mart, she said, has been a “great” partner. But, she added, “at the end of the day, it is business. It is not friendship. They will drop us like a hot potato if we are not doing well.” As for her clothing venture, Barrymore, known for her Bohemian chic style, noted she won’t be offering expensive clothes. “It’s not the way I shop,” she said.

Oscar winner Jamie Foxx helps rescue driver from vehicle

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has played super villains and antiheroes on screen. The role of super hero he apparently saved for real life. Foxx and the victim’s father, who met and talked Tuesday, said that Foxx and one other person pulled a man from his burning truck moments before it became engulfed in flames near Foxx’s Southern California home. The California Highway Patrol said the pickup went off the road in unincorporated Ventura County then went into a ditch, rolling over multiple times and becoming engulfed in flames with a male driver trapped inside. Foxx said he heard the crash from his house, called 911, and ran to the scene. He said another man, an off-duty paramedic who was driving by, had large EMT scissors that the two used to break the truck’s window, cut the man’s seatbelt and pull him out. Foxx said “within five seconds” the truck went up in flames. Foxx said he told the man, “You’ve got to help me get you

out, because I don’t want to have to leave you. You’ve got angels around you.” “I don’t look at it as heroic,” Foxx told a group of reporters after meeting with Brad Kyle, the father of the 32-year-old victim Brett Kyle. “I just look at it like, you know, you just had to do something. And it all just worked out.” Brad Kyle said he had been shown surveillance video of the crash scene, and he saw several cars passing by without helping. “I just kept watching it and going ‘My god, my god, he didn’t have to do a thing,’ “ Kyle said, breaking into tears as he spoke. “I think we all hope that we can do something when the time is there. But the question is, do we act or do we fear for our own life? He did not.” Brett Kyle has broken bones and a punctured lung, but he is expected to survive. The CHP couldn’t confirm Foxx’s involvement, but the agency did say two witnesses helped extricate the driver, giving similar details to Foxx’s account. His role in the rescue was first reported by celebrity website TMZ. (ap)

On January 12, 2016, Garuda Indonesia launched a direct flight connecting Shanghai in China with Denpasar in Bali Island. “Recently, additional flights have been started to Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzou,” he added. With a population of over a billion people, China contributes at least 100 million tourists making overseas trips a year. The number of Chinese tourist arrivals in Bali has increased significantly over the past few years, placing China as the second-largest tourist contributor, after Australia. From January to November 2015, Bali received 642 thousand Chinese tourists, up 19 percent from 539,371 tourists recorded in the same period in 2014. Bali has set a target to attract 4.2 million foreign tourists in 2016, a slight increase from four million in 2015.

Alliance of Bali Community Leaders create petition to reject Benoa Bay reclamation

The Benoa Bay reclamation plan continues to be rejected by the majority of Balinese people. However, there are still those who underestimate the number of people who stand in opposition to the proposed project. So, in order to prove that the struggle to reject the reclamation plan indeed involves a great many people Balinese public figures have coalesced into the Alliance of Bali Community Leaders and have created a petition.

The petition that expressly rejects the Benoa Bay reclamation plan, includes five reasons for the rejection. First, the Benoa Bay is a sacred area that includes 60 sacred points that are used by Balinese people to perform various Hindu rituals. Second, Benoa Bay belongs to a conservation area as an ecosystem that serves an important function in maintaining Bali’s natural environment. Therefor the utilization status of this area cannot be arbitrarily changed

simply for the benefit of the reclamation plan’s investors. Third, the Benoa Bay reclamation plan will have negative impacts on the surrounding area, environmentally; flooding, coastal erosion, traffic congestion, losses of beautiful scenery, etc., socio-culturally: influx of migrants, social cohesion and culture will become vulnerable, increased criminality, etc. and economically: loss of the traditional livelihoods of surrounding

communities, loss of business opportunities for local businessmen (because of competition with large investors) and so forth. These negative impacts are evidenced by the results of the study carried out by a team of experts from Udayana University that states that the reclamation plan is not feasible.

COVER STORY Fourth ... From page 1

Fourth, the reclamation plan, utilization, development and management of the territory of Benoa Bay waters as a new tourist attraction is not in accordance with Regional

Bylaw No. 2/2012 on Cultural Tourism in Bali,. This bylaw states that every tourism development plan in Bali should must be in accordance with the principles of Balinese culture that are based on Bali’s local wisdom known as the philosophy ofTri Hita Karana. Fifth, if the image of Bali tour-

ism is disrupted by the new tourism development that is incompatible with the philosophy of Bali tourism, Indonesian tourism will also be negatively affected. The Alliance of Bali Community Leaders appealing to President Joko Widodo to immediately revoke Presidential Regulation No.51/2014 and re-determine Presi-

dential Regulation No. 45/2011 that would reinstate the area of Benoa Bay from a ??utilization area to conservation area. The President is also being asked to maintain the commitment to protect and preserve Bali as part of the assets of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Bali is a tiny island with

Kuta moves to ‘Save Motherland’

Reject Benoa Bay reclamation

THE STRENGTH of The rejection of the reclamation of Benoa Bay, disguised as the revitilazation of Banoa Bay, has been gainning strength as witnessed by the increasing number of groups who have demonstrated against the plan, including; ForBALI, Jalak Sidakarya, Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Baladika Bali, PHRI Badung, and the community of Kuta. Twelve out of Kuta’s fourteen customary hamlets, are behind the statement: “Kuta Moves to Reject Reclamation, Save our Motherland.” The declaration of this statement was made on Sunday (Jan. 17) and involved the brotherhood of customary village chiefs, the hamlet chiefs forum, customary youth clubs across Kuta village and Chairman the LPM Kuta who all expressed their rejection of the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. The

two points underlined in the declaration are; their rejectino of the reclamation plan that is disguised as a plan to revitilaze Benoa Bay and their official request to the President to revoke Presidential Regulation No.51/2014. Action Coordinator, I Nyoman Graha Wicaksana, said that 12 of

the 14 customary hamlets of the community of Kuta have firmly stated and put in writing their rejection of the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. After having studied in great detail the negative impacts that the reclamation plan could have -particularly on Kuta as a buffer zone for the Benoa Bay esturary, the community of Kuta decided to officially reject the reclamation plan. Apart from negative impacts on the local environment, the Benoa Bay reclamation plan would also negatively impact the economy of Kuta. The community of Kuta has therefor united to speak out about

their rejection of the plan that poses as a revitilization project. The community of Kuta hopes that their rejection of the reclamatino plan will reverberate with other communities who may decide to declare their commitment to struggle to secure the Island of Bali. If the Benoa Bay reclamation plan is carried out with the proposed construction of 100,000 rooms in Benoa Bay, the community of Kuta will be hit hard economically with many Kuta hotels going bankrupt as they will not be able to compete with the megaproject. In fact hotels throughout Badung would be affected, causing

massive unemployement. “Today is a historic day for the community of Kuta as we declare our statement of rejection and express our aspirations for Kuta customary village,” said Wicaksana. In response to the declaration of rejection of the Benoa Bay reclamation plan made by the community of Kuta, Kuta customary village chief, I Wayan Suarsa, said that he very much appreciates the community action, however he added that he dares not take a stand on the issue yet. He explained that he will present these aspirations during a meeting with the Kuta customary village. Whatever the outcome is, said Suarsa, it will be communicated to the public and forwarded to President Jokowi. “This stance taken by the community has been building for to years, but only today has an official declaration been made. Now, we will discuss the matter in a customary village meeting and the decision that we reach will be forwarded to the president,” he said. Separately, Chairman of ForBALI, Wayan ‘Gendo’ Suardana, said that the Benoa Bay reclamation plan is an important issue in terms of the dynamics that have been playing out in Bali over the last three years. Along the way, the reclamation plan has been rejected by the majority of Balinese people exponent and component. In addition, the studies conducted by Udayana University have declared that the Benoa Bay reclamation plan is unfeasible. This study should be used as a point of reference by all the components in Bali, because the results of this research -that determines the reclamation plan to be unfeasable, was arrived at through thorough studies made by Bali’s biggest university, by local Balinese people who have a great deal of expertise in their respective fields.

Bomb threat in Bali

Police at monitoring post armed with weapons

GIANYAR - After the emergence of threatening letter in Bali as continuation of the bomb blast at Thamrin, Central Jakarta, some time ago, Gianyar Police officers continue to raise awareness through special patrol and regular inspection against luggage of riders like bags. Police are also planning to increase the number of monitoring posts and services at a number of tourist attractions getting the attention. Moreover, the personnel at each post will be equipped with weapons.

Routinely assigning people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease to physical or occupational therapy offers no improvement to their quality of life, said a British study out Tuesday.

Physical therapy no help for Parkinson’s patients: study

MIAMI - Routinely assigning people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease to physical or occupational therapy offers no improvement to their quality of life, said a British study out Tuesday. The findings, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Neurology, suggest that the current standard of care for early-stage patients may be a waste of time and money. Parkinson’s disease attacks the central nervous system, and affects about seven million people across the world, including about four percent of those over age 80. The randomized trial involved 762 patients with mild to moderate

Parkinson’s disease, recruited from 38 sites in Britain. All the patients were experiencing some difficulties with daily activities such as buttoning shirts or brushing teeth. Half were assigned to physical therapy and the other half to occupational therapy -- both practiced in hour-long sessions that took place several times over the course of the study. Physical therapy tends to focus on diagnosing and treating injuries, while

occupational therapy aims to help patients adapt to injury and improve life skills. After three months, researchers at the University of Birmingham found “no difference between the groups” in their ability to perform daily tasks or in their answers on a health-related quality of life questionnaire. Furthermore, there were “no clinically meaningful short- or mediumterm benefits” from either therapy for those in the study, the researchers added. Therefore, more time should be spent on exploring “the development and testing of more structured and intensive physical therapy programs in

patients with all stages of Parkinson’s disease,” the study said. An accompanying editorial by J. Eric Ahlskog, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, pointed out that doctors for all the patients in the study had already decided they were unlikely to benefit from such therapies. “Thus, one may conclude from this investigation that blanket referrals of all patients with earlier-stage PD for routine physical or occupation therapy appears to be cost-ineffective,” he wrote. But more targeted physical therapies to help exercise immobilized limbs or improve balance can benefit

patients, and these were not the focus of this particular study, Ahlskog said. Currently in Britain, all patients with Parkinson’s are allowed access to both types of therapy. “This shows that there is an urgent requirement to review current guidelines for patients with Parkinson’s disease,” said lead author Carl Clarke, a professor at the University of Birmingham. “The resource that is committed towards these therapies, that do not appear to be effective, could be better used in patients with more severe problems with their Parkinson’s disease.” (afp)

Chief of Gianyar Police, Farman, said on Tuesday (Jan. 19) that he knew the emergence of a threatening letter to Bali alleged to be the continuation of the incidents occurred at Thamrin, Jakarta. All the ranks of Gianyar Police are now instructed to increase vigilance, where one of them is by holding regular inspection with specific target such as luggage. “Our inspection is getting more intensive in all areas with the emphasis on examination for people with luggage or riders,” he said. Besides, he also ordered all the subdistrict police across Gianyar to establish monitoring posts at each tourist attraction visited by travelers. It must also be accompanied by the placement of special personnel. As a result, when tourists visit is bustling, police personnel are always ready at location for the whole day. “Essentially each monitoring post will be guarded by at least two personnel, consisting of quick response and tourism police,” he said. He added that the monitoring post will be established not permanently

but he could not ensure how long it will last at each tourist attraction. “Clearly, the monitoring post will be

valid until unspecified time. In my opinion, as long as still required, the post will be there,” he said. Further, he explained the personnel in charge of monitoring post will be equipped with weapons. In other words, at least there is an armed police officer at each monitoring post. “So, this monitoring post will continue to glare at the situation of each attraction. Monitoring post will be built in the area of Gu-

with a fault in the BRIP1 gene,” said a statement from Cancer Research UK, whose researchers led the research. The fault inhibited tissue cells from properly repairing their own DNA, causing genetic damage to build up over time, and leading to cancer, said the team. The rare but deadly disease, with few early symptoms, is often diagnosed at a very advanced stage, hence its reputation as a silent killer. About 60 percent of patients die within five years.

There is no standard or routine test for early detection of ovarian cancer -- a process known as “screening” to boost survival chances by allowing for treatment to begin as soon as possible after disease onset. The study compared the genes of over 8,000 European women -- including a group diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a healthy group, and a third with a family history of the disease. They found that women who carried the BRIP1 mutation were more likely to be diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, at a later

stage and at an older age. “Our work has found a valuable piece of the puzzle behind ovarian cancer and we hope that our work could eventually form the basis of a genetic test to identify women at greatest risk,” said Paul Pharaoh, a cancer epidemiology professor at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. “Finding these women will help us prevent more cancers and save lives. This would be important in a disease like ovarian cancer, which tends to be diagnosed at a later

stage when the chances of survival are worse.” Women with a mutation on the BRCA1 gene, for example, carry a very high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Those diagnosed with the variant is found, can opt to surgically remove their breasts and ovaries in order to lower their risk. Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women worldwide, with 239,000 new cases diagnosed in 2012, according to the World Cancer Research Fund International. (afp)

objects. Nevertheless, he ensured that enhanced security will still be carried out. “So far, we have not received any information about unfavorable things. Even so, we will still increase our patrol and the number of personnel, including improving coordination with customary security guard like pecalang and military authorities that we have requested to participate in maintaining the security,” he said.

Penglipuran village to build a bamboo museum

Study quantifies faulty gene’s role in ovary cancer risk PARIS - Women who carry an inherited fault in the BRIP1 gene are three times more likely to develop ovarian cancer than those without it, researchers said Tuesday. The gene variant had already been linked to cancer of the ovaries, but the size of the additional risk has now been quantified in a study in the Journal of the US National Cancer Institute. “Around 18 women in every 1,000 develop ovarian cancer, but this risk increases to around 58 women in every 1,000 for women

BANGLI - As a region that has fairly extensive bamboo forests, Penglipuran village plans to build a bamboo museum. The museum will serve as means of preserving various species of Balinese bamboo but will also function as a tourist attractions and education facility. Operations Manager of Penglipuran tourism village, Nengah Moneng, said that Penglipuran village that is known for its unique houses, and that received a Kalpataru award, also has 45 hectares of bamboo forest that they plan to preserve through the establishment of a museum. “The plan for the museum is being carried out by academics, the Trade Agency, the Culture and Tourism Agency and the people of Penglipuran,” he explained. According to plans, the museum will display various kinds of bamboo, and a variety of handicraft products made from bamboo. The

museum, will also serve to educate the public about bamboo. Moneng explained that Penglipuran village has prepared 2,000 sqaure meters of land for the museum that will be built just west of the local Bale Agung Temple. According to the direction of Senator Wedakarna who recently visited Penglipuran traditional village, a foundation should be established and a proposal should be submitted to the central government. “So far, we have prepared the land for the museum, while the establishment of a foundation and the proposals have not been made yet,” said Moneng. In order that the bamboo museum be realised as soon as possible, the chief of the customary village will establish a foundation and submit proposals as the village representative. “Submission of the proposal will be made by the public together with the government,” he said.

During drought

Arrack makers only earn IDR 80,000 a week

Gunmen kill at least 19 after storming Pakistan university

SEMARAPURA - Perhaps many people do not know that apart from Karanasem, Klungkung district is also a producer of arrak (palm wine). In the hamlet of Abah Hill, Besan village, Dawan, there are 20 families who work as professional arrak makers.

However, recently they have not been able to produce as much arrak as usual due to the declining stocks of palm sugar, from which they make arrak. According to 28 years old Abang Hill arrak maker, Darma, the declining stocks of palm sugar is due to the prolongued dry season which has made many coconut trees unable to be tapped for much sap. “Usually we can get 14 liters, but now we only get 4 liters,” said Darma. The process of making palm wine, explained Darma takes some time, so currently he can only produce 14 bottles of palm wine a week. This obviously means a dramatic decrease in his income, and he now only makes IDR 80,000 a week. “It depends on the alcoholic content, sir. For 10 percent alcohol I can produce 14 bottles and make IDR 80,000 but higher alcohol content requires more time to produce,” he said. Under current conditions, Darma -whose only source of income is as an arrack maker, is having a hard time supporting his three kids. who are all in elementary school. He is often forced to borrrow money from his neighbours, just to make ends meet. “My wife has started working doing road construction on Abang Hill, but when we do not have enough money to provide for our daily needs, I have no choice but to borrow money,” he said.

Klungkung district is also a producer of arrak (palm wine). In the hamlet of Abah Hill, Besan village, Dawan, there are 20 families who work as professional arrak makers. Another arrak maker, 42 year old Nengah Pujana, is in a similar position. Pujana’s family has been making arrak for generations, though he admitted that the income form this line of work is seldom very much. To meet the needs of his fam-

ily, he also works as a laborer or chainsaw operator. Presently he can only produce 2.5 bottles of arrack a day. “It’s very little, sir, I only make IDR 25,000 a day form selling arrak,” he said. The majority of Abah Hill’s residents earn

their living by producing arrak, with a toal of 20 families working as arrak makers. Previously many had tried to produce hard candy from palm sugar, but they suffered great losses, so they turned instead to arrak making as a more lucrative business. (kmb)

Mixed Rice of Balinese Style

IBP/kmb

Mixed rice has become a part of the Hindu community in Bali. As the name implies, the rice has mixed side dishes in terms of ingredients or preparation. The menu of side dishes usually consists of pork, chicken, tempeh, tofu, eggs, eel and green vegetables. Various types of dough are then sprinkled over the rice. Interestingly, the types of menu served are prepared in various ways. One type of meat can be processed by frying, steaming and boiling. For example, pork can be made into shredded meat, be genyol, be kecap, crackers, sausage, lawar, spiced pork cooked in bamboo and pepes. It can be imagined, mixed rice has various delicious menus. Likewise the vegetables are made from a variety of ingredients remaining fresh and green.

Nevertheless, the mixed rice sold by merchants is not the same. It highly depends on their habits because each merchant has their own specialty. More interestingly, related to such uniqueness, in most cases, they are named after the merchant or their region. Understandably, the name of mixed rice merchants was given by their customers. For example, the rice merchant Men Sukin (Mrs. Sukin) at Marga village being famous for her be kecap is then named Dagang Nasi Men Sukin, then Men Suma is famous for her delicious be sisit (shredded meat), Dagang Nasi Lukluk famous for its typical pork menus and so forth. In tourist areas like Sanur, Denpasar, Ubud and other areas, visitors may easily get mixed rice offering that is no less delicious.

In Bali developing into a tourist destination of the world, mixed rice is not only favored by local people and domestic travelers but also by foreign travelers. Travelers staying at a tourism village will definitely pick this menu because this culinary serving can be appetizing. In fact, according to some tour guides, travelers also order this kind of food via online. In the past, people were just enough by saying that they would like to eat and the merchant was then ready to serve them with mixed rice. But today, people must order the menus to be chosen because there are so many options. When ordering mixed rice, consumers must mention the menus selected because there are a lot of menu options tailored to the taste. On average, each portion is sold for IDR 15,000. (kmb)

Coconut trees are no longer considered trees in Indian state

PANAJI, India — Coconut trees are no longer considered trees in the tropical Indian state of Goa, where authorities have reclassified them in order to allow farmers to more easily cut them down. Officials said they dropped the cocus nucifer from Goa’s official list of trees in order to help coconut farmers cull old or ailing stands without having to deal with red tape. But environmentalists and the state’s opposition lawmakers are incensed, and accuse the state of catering to industry and developers. “The move will not benefit farmers as much as it will help real estate and corporate interests chop coconut groves for development of plots and setting up industrial units,” opposition legislator Vijai Sardesai said. The state’s forest minister, Rajendra Arlekar, defended the decision to amend a 1984 law forbidding the felling of certain trees without permission, saying coconut trees should never have been on the list. “We have only corrected the anomaly in the act,” Arkelar

told state assembly members last week. Goa produced more than 1 million coconuts in 2013 from groves sprawling over 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) in the western resort state, a holiday hotspot known for its sandy beaches lined with the iconic, swaying palms. Even before the coconut tree became a background fixture for tourist photos it was considered an important part of local lore thanks to its many valuable uses that helped earn it the Sanskrit name of kalpvruksha, which means “a tree that fulfils all desires.” Pulp scraped from coconut shells is an essential ingredient in the region’s traditional fish curries and meat stews. The sap from the trunk, known as toddy, is a popular drink, while fermented toddy is used as a yeast substitute in baking, and distilled toddy is a favored local

brew. “If permission is not needed to cut coconut trees, then naturally there will be more concrete,” environment activist Claude Alvares said. Environmentalists along with several local media outlets demanded that the state’s coalition government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party, reverse the decision. In an editorial Tuesday, Goa’s Herald newspaper accused Modi’s party of being “lost in the woods” and said those who will benefit most from the reclassification “are those who want to build huge housing estates and hotels and establish breweries and beer factories.” The state’s highest elected official, Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar, said he was not worried about coconut groves disappearing from the state. “We Goans love coconut trees. We will never cut them,” he told the Associated Press. “Those who are opposing the amendment ... are resorting to emotional blackmail.” (ap)

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A group of militants stormed a university in volatile northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least 19 people and wounding dozens as the army hunted for any gunmen still holed up on the campus, officials said. A security official said the death toll could rise to as high as 40 as the army cleared out student hostels and classrooms. A spokesman for the rescue workers, Bilal Ahmad Faizi, said 19 bodies had been recovered including students, guards, policemen and at least one professor. Firing had ended after several hours and four militants had been killed, the army said, in an attack that comes a little over a year after Taliban gunmen killed 134 students at a military-run school in nearby Peshawar. A senior security officer at the scene told Reuters 90 percent of the campus had been secured and that 51 people were wounded. The militants, using the cover of thick, wintry fog, scaled the walls of the Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, before entering buildings and opening fire on students and teachers in classrooms and hostels, police said. The gunmen attacked as the university prepared to host a poetry recital on Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the death anniversary of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a popular ethnic Pashtun independence activist after whom the university is named. Vice Chancellor Fazal Rahim told reporters that the university teaches over 3,000 students and was hosting an additional 600 visitors on Wednesday for the recital. Police inspector Saeed Wazir said 70 percent of the students had been rescued. “All students have been evacuated from the hostels, but militants are still hiding in different parts of the university and some students and staff are stuck inside,” he said before the firing had stopped, adding that it was unclear how many gunmen were involved. Television footage showed soldiers entering the campus as ambulances lined up outside the main gate and anxious parents consoled each other. Shabir Khan, a lecturer in the English department, said he was about to leave his university housing for the department when firing began. “Most of the students and staff were in classes when the firing began,” Khan said. “I have no idea about what’s going on but I heard one security official talking on the phone to someone and said many people had been killed and injured.” Pakistan, which has suffered from years of jihadist militant violence, has killed and arrested hundreds of suspected militants under a major crackdown launched after the massacre of school children in December 2014 in Peshawar. The school attack by six Pakistani Taliban gunmen hit a raw nerve in Pakistan and was seen as having hardened Pakistan’s resolve to fight militants along its lawless border with Afghanistan. “We are determined and resolved in our commitment to wipe out the menace of terrorism from our homeland,” Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in a statement after Wednesday’s attack.

BUSINESS Slowdown in Chinese growth risks global collateral damage

PARIS - Slowing growth in the Chinese economy carries major risks for emerging markets, and a drop in global trade could harm Europe and the United States as well, analysts warn. Hours after Chinese authorities reported Tuesday that the economy grew by 6.9 percent in 2015, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned of “spillover effects” from a sharper-than-expected slowdown in Chinese trade as it trimmed its global growth forecasts for 2016. China grew last year at the slowest rate in a quarter century, according to the official figures, yet that pace was in fact a bit higher than what many analysts had been expecting. It also lies within Beijing’s target range as it looks to recalibrate

the economy to a more sustainable model. That helped calm markets, which have plunged in recent weeks on fears about the ability of Chinese authorities to manage the economy after poor handling of a meltdown on its stock exchanges. “Meeting the economic growth target for 2015 goes some way to offset concerns that Chinese authorities’ mismanagement of the stock market would spill over into their management of the economy in 2016,” said analyst Jasper Lawler at CMC Markets UK.

But overall the outlook for the Chinese economy is for further slowdown. The IMF did not cut its forecast for China, which sees it slowing to 6.3 percent growth this year. The slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy, and the largest consumer of commodities, has caused the prices for raw materials to plunge, hammering nations which rely heavily on their production and export. “Raw-material producing nations are already paying a high price” for the Chinese slowdown and the plunge in commodities prices this has caused, said Christine Rifflart, author of a study on emerging markets at the French

Economic Observatory. “The marked slowdown in China has caused collateral damage, resulting in very sharp recessions in raw-material exporting countries,” she said. “We are much more concerned about the perspective of emerging markets besides China, in particular the countries which produce raw materials” than China itself, said Jean-Michel Six, chief economist for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Standard and Poor’s rating agency. The IMF’s chief economist, Maurice Obstfeld, also warned of the “large spillover effects” caused by the plunge in commodity prices.

His colleague Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti, the deputy director of the IMF’s research department, called for more attention to the “repercussions” of China’s slowdown. “And of course for the emerging world we have to watch very carefully what is happening in countries facing difficult economic situations, Brazil and Russia come to mind.” The French Economic Observatory’s Rifflart pointed out that many commodity-exporting nations and companies have “very little margin for manoeuvre”. Many loaded up with debt in recent years when credit was cheap, often to meet higher Chinese demand. (afp)

Indonesia Today

International

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo is considering a regulation that would prohibit Indonesians from joining radical groups overseas, in an effort to prevent a deadlier attack than last week’s militant assault on Jakarta.

At a meeting on Tuesday at the palace, top political and security officials agreed to review anti-terrorism laws, which currently allow Indonesians to freely return home after fighting with Islamic State in Syria. Security forces fear that returning jihadis could launch a much more calculated attack than the amateurish assault militants launched on Thursday using two pistols and eleven low-yield homemade bombs. Eight people were

killed in the attack, including the four attackers. “We’ve agreed to review the terrorism law to focus on prevention,” parliamentary speaker Zulkifli Hasan told Reuters. “Currently there is nothing in the law covering training. There is also nothing currently covering people going overseas (to join radical groups) and returning. This needs to be broadened.” Proposed revisions would also tighten prison sentences for terror-

ism offences, he said. Chief security minister Luhut Pandjaitan told reporters the new regulation would allow suspects to be temporarily detained. “The point is to give police the authority to preemptively and temporarily detain (a suspect) while they get information to prevent future incidents,” Pandjaitan said, adding the detention could last up to two weeks. Widodo said discussions on the new regulation, which would be a stop-gap measure until parliament can revise its anti-terrorism law, were still at “an early stage”. “This is very pressing. Many people have left for Syria or re-

turned,” he said, but did not say when a decision would be made. Roughly 500 Indonesians are believed by authorities to have travelled to the Middle East to join Islamic State. About 100 are believed to have returned, most of whom did not see frontline combat. Indonesian Police Chief Badrodin Haiti told Reuters in an interview Monday that the country was bracing for the return of these more experienced fighters, who may be capable of carrying out far more sophisticated operations than last week’s attack, which was hampered by poor training and weapons. Thursday’s bombings and shootings in the heart of Jakarta were the

US crude falls below $28 as IEA warns market could ‘drown in oil’

SINGAPORE - US crude tumbled below $28 a barrel in Asia on Wednesday, hitting new 12-year lows, after the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that the oil market could “drown in oversupply”. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US benchmark, fell to levels last seen in September 2003, striking $27.55 a barrel at one point. At around 0500 GMT, the contract was trading at $27.68, down 78 cents, or 2.74 percent. WTI had closed at $27.13 on September 23, 2003, after hitting an intra-day bottom of $27.10. Brent crude -- which briefly fell below $28 on Monday to levels not seen since November 2003 -- was 48 cents lower at $28.28. “The IEA report played a big part in the price decline,” said Phillip Futures analyst Daniel Ang, adding that this underscored the current “bearishness in the market”. He also said the WTI February contract was due to expire later in the week, which could have prompted traders to roll over their positions to the March contract. The IEA said Tuesday oil prices are set to fall further this year as supply vastly exceeds demand, with major oil exporter Iran’s return to the market offsetting any production cuts from other countries. “Can it go any lower?” the IEA said. “Unless something changes, the oil market could drown in oversupply. So the answer to our question is an emphatic yes. It could go lower.” The market has been awash with supplies owing to high production levels in the United States and in the OPEC cartel, which last year rejected calls to slash output as it looks to maintain its market share. Prices have crashed about 75 percent since mid-2014, hit by a perfect storm of a supply glut, weak demand, a slowing global economy and a strong dollar. The oil crisis has caused ructions across global markets, wiping trillions of dollars off valuations, with weak demand for the commodity signalling weakness in economies. The tumbling prices have also led to major energy firms scaling back or cancelling investment and projects, and laying off thousands of workers. (afp)

JAKARTA - Jakarta is seeing a growing number of transportation services catering exclusively to women, offering better security and comfort when compared to packed public buses and trains in the Indonesian capital of 10 million people. Ladyjek and Sister Ojek, the most recent entrants to the female-only taxi services, have seen business take off less than four months after starting operations in the predominately Muslim nation. “In other public transportation such as public minivans, there are too many men in such a tight space, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. However, I feel safe if it’s Ladyjek because the bikers are also women,” Uki Pratiwi told

Reuters before hopping on a motorcycle driven by a Ladyjek employee. Since its launch in October, the Ladyjek mobile app has been downloaded about 50,000 times and hundreds of Indonesians use its services each day, said Ladyjek founder Brian Mulyadi. The company employs about 2,400 drivers, mostly housewives or students, and hopes to soon expand outside the capital. Dozens of motorcycle-sharing companies have set up in Indonesia in the past year or so, seeking to emulate the success of Go-Jek, the first firm in Jakarta to use smartphones to tap into the country’s millions of traditional motorcycle taxis, known as ojeks.

“The other online motorbike taxi services are very convenient but there’s no service to take care of the safety and comfort of women. That’s why I created Ladyjek,” Mulyadi said. Other companies similar to Ladyjek include Ojesy or Ojek Syari, which offers hijab-wearing drivers. The rape of a woman in a public minivan sparked uproar in Jakarta last June, but critics say the government has done little to prevent future cases. “The government hasn’t really done much. Even when there are passengers who felt they were harassed and reported it to authorities, the police are often confused about how to tackle the problem,” transportation analyst Azas Tigor Nainggolan said.

first attack in Indonesia attributed to Islamic State. The last major militant attacks in the country were in 2009, when suicide bombers struck two luxury hotels in the city. Even if the new revisions are imposed, Indonesia would still have weaker anti-terrorism laws than some of its neighbours. Malaysia last April passed a law reintroducing detention without trial, three years after a similar measure was revoked. Australia has in recent years passed measures banning its citizens from returning from conflict zones in Syria and the Middle East, while making it easier to monitor domestic communications. (rtr)

More than 1,200 flee as Mount Egon spews ash, gas

KUPANG - More than 1,200 people have been evacuated from their homes to escape a gurgling volcano in eastern Indonesia spewing clouds of ash and toxic gas into the air. Officials said Tuesday they had distributed thousands of gas masks to villagers around Mount Egon in eastern Flores island as the choking fumes from the volcano intensified. All residents within three kilometres (1.9 miles) of the volcano were ordered to evacuate and roads were also closed. Authorities said they were prepared to issue a wide-scale evacuation order if the situation deteriorates further. “We are on a high alert and ready to evacuate any time,” disaster mitigation official Silvanus Tobi told AFP Tuesday. The volcano began rumbling last month but has become more active in recent days, sending villagers fleeing from their homes. During its last serious eruption in 2008, Mount Egon blasted smoke and volcanic material nearly six kilometres into the atmosphere. It is one of 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which sits on the Ring of Fire, a belt of seismic activity running around the basin of the Pacific Ocean. (afp)

Russia shows military might in Syria ahead of peace talks

HEMEIMEEM AIR BASE — Russian warplanes were taking off Wednesday from their base in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, which was bustling with activity as Moscow pressed its air blitz days before scheduled peace talks. A pair of Su-25 jets flew past, returning from a mission shortly after sunrise, and air force crews readied combat jets for more missions. Two heavy transport plans were parked near the main terminal as soldiers toting assault rifles stood guard. Since Russia launched its air campaign in Syria on Sept. 30, its warplanes have flown nearly 6,000 missions. The number is impressive for a compact force comprising just a few dozen warplanes. The Russian military brought a group of Moscow-based reporters to the base on Wednesday to see the operations. Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Tuesday that over the previous four days Russian warplanes had flown 157 sorties striking 579 targets in six Syrian regions. The Russian military has said it was targeting the Islamic State group and other extremists and has angrily dismissed Western

accusations of hitting moderate rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad. Moscow also has rejected claims that its aircraft have hit civilians, saying they only target military facilities away from populated areas. The Syrian government and the opposition are set to sit down for talks in Geneva, scheduled for Monday. The negotiations are meant to pave the way for a political settlement with a new constitution and elections in a year and a half, but hopes for their success are dim. International negotiators, including the United States and its allies and Assad’s backers, Russia and Iran, have failed to reach common

ground on which of the myriad Syrian militant groups should be considered extremists and fair game for strikes and which should be part of political talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry were meeting in Switzerland on Wednesday to try to resolve the differences over who is eligible to join the U.N.-mediated peace talks. Meanwhile, the relentless Russian air campaign has helped the Syrian army recover and regroup after a series of failures last year and score significant battlefield gains in recent weeks. Some believe that a string of military successes would likely encourage Assad’s government to take a tough stance in the talks. The Syrian conflict, which began in early 2011 with protests against Assad’s rule, has turned into an all-out war that has killed a quarter of a million people and displaced millions in nearly five years of fighting.

Greenpeace: Air in China 10 percent less polluted last year

BEIJING — Greenpeace East Asia says average concentrations of air particulates in 189 Chinese cities fell by 10 percent in 2015, a sign of decreasing pollution overall even as catastrophic levels of smog this winter in northern China effectively shut down schools and roads. Overall pollution levels in Beijing were down for the second consecutive year but skyrocketed in December, when a thick gray soup

Kerry visits Switzerland for talks with Russian counterpart ZURICH — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Switzerland for talks with Russia’s foreign minister on Syria and Ukraine. Kerry arrived in Zurich early Wednesday and is hoping to resolve differences with Russia on who is eligible to join U.N.-mediated peace talks for Syria that are due to begin next week. Kerry will also be pushing for more progress on resolving conflict in eastern Ukraine between the government and Russia-backed rebels. After seeing Sergey Lavrov, Kerry will go to Davos to attend the World Economic Forum and then travel on to Saudi Arabia, Laos, Cambodia and China. Russia and Iran, which back Syrian President Bashar Assad, have severe differences with Saudi Arabia, other Arab states, the United States and Europe over which opposition groups should be considered terrorists and not allowed to be part of an 18-month political transition process that the U.N. has endorsed. One dispute is over the groups Ahrar-as-Sham and Jaish al-Islam, which Russia and Syria consider “terrorists” but Saudi Arabia, the United States and others view as legitimate opposition groups. The dispute is threatening to delay the planned Jan. 25 start of U.N.-meditated peace talks. “We’re not unmindful of the fact that there still remains differences

of opinion, and that this is a complicated process and that there is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done to get the meeting to occur,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday. “But it’s our hope that this can continue to move forward, and that we can have this meeting on the 25th.” On Monday, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon urged countries supporting opposing sides in the Syrian conflict to redouble efforts to reach agreement on the list of eligible opposition groups. Ban’s appeal came as the U.N. special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, briefed the Security Council on his efforts to get the talks started and the leaders of Russia and Qatar met in Moscow to try to narrow their differences. U.N. officials say they remain focused on starting the talks on Jan. 25 as planned, but they say they can’t send out invitations until the key countries agree on an opposition list and have hinted at a possible delay. In Washington, U.S. officials echoed those sentiments on Tuesday. One official said the talks had not yet been delayed, but that it was possible they could slip by a week or more. In Moscow, meanwhile, a top Russian diplomat said he hoped the Lavrov-Kerry meeting would produce an agreement on the list. (ap)

Serena Williams, Federer into 3rd round at Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams has had so much success for such a long time that even in a second-round match she can set a record at the season’s first Grand Slam event. The six-time and defending champion beat No. 90-ranked Hsieh Su-wei 6-1, 6-2 on Wednesday at Rod Laver Arena, an alltime record 79th main draw match at the Australian Open. She closed with an ace, her seventh, finishing in precisely an hour. “It all started here — this is where I played my first Grand Slam right on this court and I’m still going, it’s such an honor,” said Williams, who has a 70-9 win-loss record at Melbourne Park since her debut in 1998. “I love it every time I come here.” She hit 26 winners, including one around the post that she thought may have been a first for her, at age 34. “My first one I think,” she said. “I was like, “Yay. Never too late.” Williams’ next opponent will be 18-year-old Russian Daria Kasatkina, who beat Croatia’s Ana Konjuh 6-4, 6-3, and she faces a potential quarterfinal match against 2015 finalist Maria Sharapova, who reached the third round with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich. Williams was on course for a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015 with wins here and at the French Open and Wimbledon before a semifinal loss at the U.S. Open to

Roberta Vinci of Italy. Asked, by an Italian journalist, if she’d watched a replay of that match, Williams gave a touchy response: “Yeah, I watch it every day. Every night to get ready.” No. 13 Vinci beat Irina Falconi 6-2, 6-3 to advance in the opposite quarter of the same half of the draw. Roger Federer extended his streak by reaching the third round for the 17th straight Australian Open, and registered his 299th match win at a major. Federer, playing his 65th consecutive major, advanced 6-3, 7-5, 6-1 over Alexandr Dolgopolov. He lost in the third round in his first two trips to Melbourne Park in 2000 and ‘01 and again last year — in between he won the title four times and lost one final during a run of reaching the semifinals or better in 11 straight years. “I hope to keep it up as long as I choose to play tennis,” he said. “I mean, it’s the least I expect to be in the third round of a Slam, obviously, so I’m pumped up, playing well,

feeling good. “But there’s always a danger, you know. Like last year the third round was the end for me, so I hope to go further this time.” He may have to meet Grigor Dimitrov, who plays with a style that has been compared with Federer’s, in the third round. Seventh-seeded Kei Nishikori, the 2014 U.S. Open finalist, advanced with a 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3 win over Austin Krajicek and No. 6 Tomas Berdych beat Mirza Basic 6-4, 6-0, 6-3 to advance along with No. 15 David Goffin and No. 19 Dominic Thiem. Sharapova, the 2008 champion and four-time finalist at Melbourne Park, dropped two service games in the first set, including once when serving at 5-1, but was otherwise consistent except for some over-hit ground strokes. “To come back here and play my first match on Rod Laver is always very special as you always get those first little jitters out of the way.” No. 12 Belinda Bencic had a 6-3, 6-3 win over Timea Babos and 92nd-ranked Kateryna Bondarenko earned one of her biggest wins since returning from retirement after having a baby in 2013, beating two-time major winner and No. 23-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 7-5.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant reacts after hitting a 3-point basket against the Denver Nuggets late in the second half of an NBA basketball game Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016, in Denver. The Thunder won 110-104.

DENVER — Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each had double-doubles to lead the Thunder to a 110-104 win at Denver on Tuesday, stretching their lead in the NBA’s Northwest Division to a dozen games. The Thunder improved to an impressive 31-12 while every other team in the lopsided division has more losses than wins. Elsewhere, Milwaukee was too good for an undermanned Miami, and Indiana held on against a fastfinishing Phoenix to extend the Suns’ dismal run to 14 defeats in 15 games. Oklahoma City’s Durant finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds while Westbrook scored 27 points and added 12 assists but fell five rebounds shy of a third successive triple-double. Danilo Gallinari

scored 27 points but only seven after halftime for the Nuggets. Milwaukee clamped down on a below-strength Miami to win 91-79 on the road. Khris Middleton scored 22 points and Greg Monroe added 15, who have won their past five against the Heat. Chris Bosh scored 23 points for Miami, which went in without four injured players, including point guards Goran Dragic and Luol Deng, while Dwyane Wade played through shoulder pain and had only two points. Phoenix came from 20 points down in the third quarter to get within three of Indiana but ran out of time to overrun the Pacers. New Orleans overcame an early 17-point deficit to beat Minnesota 114-99, led by 35 points from Anthony Davis. (ap)

Iraq to back Prince Ali in FIFA election

The Iraq Football Association (IFA) have pledged their support for Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein in next month’s FIFA presidential election, the Jordanian royal said on Wednesday. Ali will stand against Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, former FIFA deputy general secretary Jerome Champagne of France, South African businessman and politician Tokyo Sexwale and UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino in the Feb. 26 vote. “The FA has endorsed Prince Ali in a letter to FIFA,” IFA president Abdul Khaliq Masood said in a statement published by Ali’s bid team. “We have decided that Iraq’s vote will go to Prince Ali because Prince Ali has always supported the development of football in Iraq, Jordan and our region.” Ali hosted a delegation from Iraq including Masood and Iraq Minister of Sports and Youth Abdul Hussein Abtan on Monday as he attempts to drum up support ahead of the election to decide who will succeed Sepp Blatter as president of the scandal-hit body. Blatter, who beat Ali in the most recent FIFA presidential election last May, and UEFA President Michel Platini were both handed eight-year bans from soccer last month for ethics

violations. Both deny any wrongdoing but their absence has left the global game leaderless as it tries to dig itself out of a slew of corruption cases, with criminal investigations under way in the United States and Switzerland. Ali returned to Jordan at the start of the week to meet the Iraqi delegation after campaigning in Africa and the Caribbean, where his team said he “picked up private commitments of support from several other nations”. Rival Infantino said previously he had major support in the Caribbean region, which has 25 votes in the 209-member election being held in Zurich. Salman is expected to win the bulk of support among the AFC’s 46 members after the regional body’s executive committee passed a resolution in November urging all Asian representatives to vote for the Bahraini. Abtan, though, told Iraqi state television that his country would back Ali. “We are very pleased to support Prince Ali. He is the best man for the job. We greatly appreciate everything Jordan has done to support Iraqi sports and youth over the years,” he told Iraq state television. Ali said he had held discussions with Abtan and Masood over the lifting of a ban that prevents Iraq from hosting home international matches. (rtr)

Stevan Jovetic and Adem Ljajic scored in the last 20 minutes to send Inter into the semi-finals while Napoli had Dries Mertens sent off late in the game for diving. Serie A leaders Napoli rested topscorer Gonzalo Higuain but Inter’s Samir Handanovic was still the busier goalkeeper, making several last-ditch saves to keep Napoli at bay. But Inter went ahead when Jovetic curled in a right-foot shot from 20 metres from a counterattack in the 74th minute. Mertens was given a second yellow card for a theatrical fall in the penalty area as Napoli pressed for an equaliser, before Ljajic broke clear from the halfway line to score Inter’s second in stoppage time. Mancini did not see the goal as he became involved in a heated exchange with the fourth official and then Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, and was ordered from the touchline. The row appeared to begin after the fourth official mistakenly indicated nine minutes of added time REUTERS/Stefano Rellandini before changing his mind and indicating five instead.

Sampaoli resigns a Chile national team coach

SANTIAGO — Jorge Sampaoli has resigned as Chile’s national team coach, departing just six months after his club won the Copa America. Andres Fazio, a vice president of the Chilean federation, confirmed Samapoli’s departure on Tuesday.

Sampaoli has said for several weeks he wanted to leave the team, and said he was angry that details of his contract had been disclosed in the press. Fazio said Sampaoli, an Argentine, would lose bonus money from

winning the South American championship and would also have to pay a portion of any new contract to the Chilean federation. His original contract stipulated he would need to pay a $6 million penalty if he broke the contract. (ap)

Villa put league troubles aside to advance in FA Cup

LONDON - Aston Villa forgot their Premier League woes and moved into the fourth round of the FA Cup with an unconvincing 2-0 win over fourth tier Wycombe Wanderers in their third round replay at Villa Park on Tuesday. A 75th minute header from Ciaran Clark and a last minute strike from Idrissa Gueye settled the tie as Villa, beaten finalists last season but currently bottom of the Premier League, won for only the fourth time this season to set up a home meeting with Manchester City. West Bromwich Albion, the only other Premier League team in action, were also made to battle for victory over lower league opposition, seeing off Championship (second tier) strugglers Bristol City 1-0 at Ashton Gate. The home side, who sacked man-

ager Steve Cotterill last week, kept the Baggies out until the 52nd minute when Venezuela international Salomon Rondon, West Brom’s record 12.0 million pounds ($17.00 million) signing, trapped the ball on his chest before sweeping it home. West Brom will face third tier Peterborough United at home in the next round. Like Villa, debt-ridden Bolton Wanderers are another club whose glory days seem long gone but they also enjoyed a much-needed win. Four-times FA Cup winners Bolton, struggling at the bottom of the Championship and facing a fight for survival with debts of 172.9 million pounds, won their replay against minor league Eastleigh 3-2 at the Macron Stadium. Eastleigh, who play in the fifth tier National League, gave Bolton an early scare when

they took the lead after 11 minutes through fullback Joe Partington. Bolton, who face a winding-up order from the tax authorities at the High Court next month, came back by scoring twice in four minutes through Gary Madine and Dean Moxey just before halftime. The visitors equalised through Kaid Mohamed before the break before Darren Pratley, who scored the late equaliser in the original tie, scored what proved to be the winner after 52 minutes. Bolton now face Leeds United at home in the next round. There was also joy for Portsmouth, now playing in the fourth tier but FA Cup winners as recently as 2008, who saw off second tier Ipswich Town 2-1 at Fratton Park. They now face south coast rivals Bournemouth. (rtr)

Holder PSG beats Toulouse 2-1 to reach last 16 of French Cup

PARIS — Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a last-gasp penalty as defending champion Paris SaintGermain rallied to beat Toulouse 2-1 and reach the last 16 of the French Cup on Tuesday. Ibrahimovic scored a late header when PSG won 1-0 at Toulouse in the league last weekend, and his winner this time came in the 89th minute after Toulouse defender Uros Spajic clumsily tripped left back Layvin Kurzawa just inside the penalty area. Ibrahimovic sent goalkeeper Mauro Goicoechea the wrong way from the spot to prompt relieved celebrations at Parc des Princes. Toulouse outplayed PSG in the first half, and took the lead when defender Francois Moubandje swapped passes with midfielder Adrien Regattin and slotted past goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. Center half David Luiz headed PSG level after halftime. Despite fielding a weakened side and keeping top-scorer Wissam Ben Yedder on the bench, Toulouse — which is 19th in the French league — took the game to PSG. “It was a difficult game. They played really well and we didn’t have much intensity,” Luiz said. “We were too slow in attack and defense. The second half was better.” Goicoechea, Toulouse’s thirdchoice goalie, saved Luiz’s curling shot, and pushed away Kurzawa’s attempt just before the interval as PSG finally clicked.

from the edge of the penalty area. PSG equalized following a poor passage of play from Toulouse. Several players failed to play the ball out from midfield and it was eventually played back to Spajic, whose fluffed clearance went behind for a corner. Luiz met Ezequiel Lavezzi’s corner with a powerful header into the top right corner. Ibrahimovic thought he scored with his first touch after coming on in the 65th when he followed up Luiz’s shot. But the linesman correctly flagged that Luiz was offside on his initial shot. “Once again we’re frustrated, because even though we cause them trouble they still manage to win,” Regattin said. “We’ve got one chance left to beat them.” The sides meet again next week in Paris, this time in the League Cup semifinals. In other matches, striker Khalid Boutaib scored a hat trick to take his tally to five goals in the past three matches as Corsican side Gazelec Ajaccio beat Guingamp 3-0 at home. Bordeaux won 2-1 at Angers, and striker Raphael Caceres scored in the fifth minute of injury time as second-division Sochaux won 2-1 at Bastia, and there was another upset as Rennes lost 3-1 at home to second division Bourg-Peronnas. Marseille’s home game against Montpellier is the pick of Wednesday’s French Cup games. (ap)
