Newspapers hang for sale at a stand carrying headlines about the former leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike last week, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, May 25, 2016.

Little is known about him, although he is said to be around 60 and a respected religious scholar.

According to AFP, the insurgents struggled to find a successor after the two main contenders backed out of the race. One of them was Sirajuddin Haqqani, a guerrilla commander who is regarded by US officials as the organisation’s most dangerous warlord. A Taliban spokesman said Akhunzada was appointed by “unanimous agreement” in the supreme council, with all members pledging allegiance to him.

The news came as at least 11 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack on a minibus carrying appeal court staff in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out during the morning rush hour. Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said the bomber detonated an explosives vest as he walked past the minibus.

Mr Danish said the dead included court employees and civilians,

and four other people were injured.

In a statement, the Taliban said the bombing was in “revenge for the killing of six innocent prisoners in Kabul”.

This was a reference to the hanging at a Kabul prison earlier this month of six Taliban members convicted of terrorism. The strike against Mansour, which had been authorised by President Barack Obama, took place on Saturday afternoon in a remote area of Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan.

A Pentagon spokesman said Mansour was overseeing plans to target US personnel and troops assisting and training Afghan armed forces. Pakistan has described the drone strike as a “violation” of its airspace and sovereignty.(afp) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Dengue fever prevention

Larva self-monitors formed at school

DENPASAR - Although the larva-free rate (ABJ) at Peguyangan village reaches 95.7 percent, the preventive activities such as monitoring larvae and mosquito nests eradication (PSN) are still being done. Since the adult mosquitoes carrying dengue virus

will produce offspring carrying dengue virus, the simultaneous movement of mosquito nests eradication continues to be intensified.

“We anticipate the eggs because the fogging can only eradicate the adult mosquitoes,” said the headman of Peguyangan, A.A. Gede Darma Agung Putra, recently.

Peguyangan village community is indeed

focused on 3M method (draining, closing and recycling), if there are no cases found after research by the epidemic surveillance of the health agency. If the larvae are found to exceed 5 percent or at least 5-10 containers of positive larvae, the fogging will only be implemented by the health agency.

If found any larvae, his authority will

also summon the hamlet chief of the area and instructed to further improve the sanitation. “When there is a report of simultaneous movement to us, we will use it as reference to take further action,” he said.

COVER STORY Dengue...

From page 1

Chief of the Public Health Center III North Denpasar, A.A. Ngurah Taruma Wijaya, saw that most patient of positive dengue fever belong to school children so that schools need to be encourage to do mosquito nests eradication through mosquito larvae selfmonitoring by involving school children as larva monitor.

“Peguyangan village has established larva self-monitors at the level of kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school / vocational school in the area of Peguyangan,” he said.

The larva self-monitor aims to determine the presence of larvae at least at their home and school.

Self-monitors have been communicated to all the schools, where there are 21 kindergartens as well as 23 elementary and junior high

schools in the region. While the number of larva self-monitors at Peguyangan village reaches 12 people in charge of each hamlet.

Larva self-monitors work every day from 09:00 by visiting 30 families to monitor larvae. “After the intervention, they inform the public about the prevention,” he added.

In May alone there were 25 cases of dengue fever at Peguyangan and but claiming no fatalities.

Admittedly, the handling of dengue patients at the Public Health Center III North Denpasar had no hospitalization, but complete blood (DL) test is available. “If it is positive to dengue fever and the platelets below 100, we refer to inpatient care at Wangaya Hospital,” he added.

According to the Director of the Consumer Protection Foundation (YLPK) Bali, I Putu Armaya, the Public Health Centers in Bali need to provide inpatient treat-

ment. “Government must provide inpatient care at every public health center in the district / town in Bali, although not all of them provide the services but from now on it should be considered for improving the public health center services,” he said. It is based on complaints of many consumers in Bali when they did not get room when going to hospital.

For instance, in the dengue season the number of patients sharply increases and the inpatient treatment is carried out at hospital.

“Due to many patients, the treatment room is fully occupied so that the patients are finally treated in the hospital hallways. This is inhuman and even violates the rights of consumers, the right to comfort and safety in consuming goods and services,” he explained.

Currently, of the 120 public health centers in Bali, only 37 units of them have already provided inpatient services. (kmb42)

To realize child-feasible district

Not all playrooms meet ministerial standards

Gianyar — One of the indicators for the realization of the childrenfeasible district (KLA) is the availability of space for creativity or childfeasible playroom. In each region, there have been many playrooms for children. However, not all of them comply with safety standards. This was disclosed by the Deputy of Child Growth at the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, Lenny Rosalin, in an activity in Ubud, Tuesday (May 24).

Lenny said that the government has been preparing a national policy to create a system based on children’s development. The KLA program is a pathway to the development in an effort to provide maximum protection against the survival of children. One of the targets is the availability of playroom.

She admitted to have developed the concept of a safe and comfortable playroom for children. This concept is formulated by involving researchers from 14 major universities in Indonesia. She expected that all the regions can apply, including Gianyar district.

“Gianyar is one of the districts intensively realizing the KLA. To that end, we are confident that in future Gianyar will be able to realize the feasible playroom for children. We do hope that Gianyar can maximize the ongoing moment,” she said.

In the meantime, Secretary of the Gianyar Women Empowerment and Family Planning Agency Ketut Sutha said that to realize the KLA, the development taking sides in children should be prioritized in various policies.

One of them is through the provision of child-feasible playroom by each relevant agency.

“The provision of child-feasible playroom is very much needed. Currently, according to the ministerial standards, the existing playrooms do not fully comply with the high eligibility standards specified. It needs improvement in some aspects in order to really correspond to the safety of children,” he said.

Furthermore, Sutha conveyed that the regent of Gianyar has planned to build a child-feasible playroom. The plan is expected to be realized ahead of the Children Right Convention 2016 that will take place in Gianyar. (kmb25)

Early exposure to traffic pollution may affect lungs later

STOCKHOLM - Infants exposed to higher levels of vehicular air pollution more often have problems later on in the small airways near the edges of their lungs, according to a new study.

The finding that early life exposure to air pollutants affects the so-called peripheral airways, “has not been reported before,” said lead author Dr. Erica S. Schultz of the Karolinska Institutet Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden.

“The lungs and airways are exposed to different air pollutants throughout life, but as the lungs are not fully developed at birth, young children are considered to be particularly vulnerable to adverse effects,” she said.

Because the effects are small, they may have little impact on healthy people living in areas with little pollution, Schultz and her coauthors write.

But the findings may be relevant in areas with high pollution levels and for people with respiratory conditions.

The researchers studied roughly 2,400 children recruited between 1994 and 1996 in Sweden for whom they had data on air pollution exposure as infants and lung function as teens. In particular, they studied the “resistance” in the teen’s peripheral airways, or how hard it is to get air through those passages.

The researchers focused on nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust and particulate matter from road erosion. They used records of road traffic, meteorological conditions and topography to model pollution levels at residential and school addresses for the kids in the first year of life and for the year prior to their 16th birthdays.

As infant exposure to nitrogen oxides increased by 10 micrograms per cubic meter, teen airway resistance also increased. The association was strongest for boys and for those with

asthma at age 16.

Pollution exposure at ages 15 and 16 was not related to lung function, however.

The authors reported in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology that particulate matter did not have a significant relationship with airway resistance.

“An increasing amount of studies demonstrate the importance of airway periphery for lung health,” Schultz told Reuters Health by email. “What´s concerning is that the effect from first year of life seem to be long-lasting although we yet don’t know the full clinical implication of this effect.”

Most teens would not feel any symptoms of their reduced lung function as the effect was small, she said.

Stockholm has relatively low air pollution levels, she said. For more polluted cities, the effects may be greater and cause conditions like asthma, heart attacks, strokes and early death. (rtr)

Human bones found on beach eroded by coastal abrasion

NEGARA - Human bones, including a skull were found on the beach at Ketapang hamlet in Pengambengan by local residents who were dismantling houses along the shore that has been eaten away by coastal abrasion. The bones were first seen at high tide on Tuesday May 24th.

The healthcare community remains deeply divided over the devices. Some healthcare experts are concerned about how little is known about the potential health risks.

U.S. e-cigarette use stalls as health concerns grow

NEW YORK - Use of electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices has stalled in the United States as more Americans question their safety, according to a new online Reuters/Ipsos poll.

About 10 percent of the 9,766 adults surveyed between April 19 and May 16 use the devices, the same percentage as in a similar Reuters/Ipsos poll in May, 2015. This year, however, a growing percentage of participants expressed negative attitudes toward ecigarettes. Forty-seven percent of respondents said vaping was not healthier than smoking conventional cigarettes compared with 38 percent who felt that way a year ago.

Forty-three percent said they did not believe vaping could help people quit smoking compared with 39 percent who held that view in 2015. A majority of participants - 66 percent - say that vaping can be addictive compared with 61 percent in 2015. Additionally, 49 percent said this year that it could have a similar effect to that of second-hand tobacco smoke compared with 42 percent last year.

The growing concerns about the devices could hit their already slowing sales, especially for smaller e-cigarette and vaping companies. Many of these brands have lost market share to big tobacco companies, such as Altria and Reynolds American Inc. Some do not expect to survive with new U.S. rules to regulate the e-cigarette

market.

“In some ways, a move away from e-cigarettes is actually positive for Altria and Reynolds,” said Morningstar analyst Adam Fleck, pointing out it may help sustain sales of conventional cigarettes, whose margins are much higher.

Sharra Morris, 42, a mental health counselor in Moore, Oklahoma, started using ecigarettes in February despite some misgivings about their safety. She tried vaping to help her quit smoking regular cigarettes.

“The question now is: are they really safe?” said Morris, who likes to vape using liquids flavored to taste like Fruit Loops cereal and Snickerdoodle cookies. “What will they tell us in 20 years?”

E-cigarettes are metal tubes that heat liquids typically laced with nicotine and deliver vapor when inhaled. The liquids come in thousands of flavors, from cotton candy to pizza.

Use of the devices has grown quickly in the last decade, with U.S. sales expected to reach $4.1 billion in 2016, according to Wells Fargo Securities. Sales were down 6 percent in the first quarter of 2016, however.

The healthcare community remains deeply divided over the devices. Some healthcare experts are concerned about how little is known about the potential health risks. They are especially worried about rising teen e-cigarette use, and fear that may get a new generation hooked on nicotine. (rtr)

However when these same residents returned to the site, the bones were gone, perhaps washed away by the large waves. It is assumed the bones emerged because the shore had been eroded by the crashing waves. In this same area, there once stood a lighthouse that had been used by the Japanese army as a headquarters during the war.

Before abrasion ate away the shoreline, barrel shaped foundations had been seen.

“Possibly these were the remains of victims of war”, affirmed Amat, a local resident.

The first person to find the bones on the beach on Tuesday was a local resident named Samsuri who said that he dared not try to collect the bones for fear of the high tide. He explained that there had been an intact human skeleton complete with skull, but that since it was high tide it was only glimpsed for a few moments before being taken by the waves.

Jembrana Police were alerted and went to the beach to investigate, but the bones were already gone. Also many local residents were evacuated to avoid the negative impact of abrasion. A local man named Suena explained that he finally had to face the fact that his home would be taken by the sea, so he had gone to live with his brother after he and his children dismantled their bamboo house and sorted which materials could still be used ot build a new house later.

Suena was not alone, as many of his neighbours faced the same dilemma. Ahmad Ibrahim for example, also had to move in with relatives that live nearby. Ibrahim said he was worried that the increasingly larger waves would inundate his home. “Now, I must evacuate for fear of the house collapsing because the ocean waves are very high” he explained.

After detained for a month in Malaysia Four citizens have not gone home

BANGLI - Four residents of Bangli having been detained in Malaysia since last month as possessing no working permit do not go home yet. In response to this problem, the provincial government of Bali will establish a repatriation team by involving the Labor Agency, the Agency for Service, Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BP3TKI) and police department.

The Head of the Bangli Social and Labor Agency, I Nengah Sukarta, with permission from the regent explained on Monday (May 23) that the residents having been detained in Malaysia since last month, consist of Ni Putu

Trisnayanti, 21, from Srokadan hamlet, Abuan, Susut; Ni Komang Sri Wahyuni, 19, and Ni Putu Maretningsih, 19, from Lateng hamlet, Dausa, Kintamani; and Ni Luh Diana Sari, 21, from Satra village, Kintamani. They were arrested because of having no official working permit.

“They have been working in the country for years. They departed to work through illegal labor agency.

Perhaps they departed by using holiday visa,” he explained accompanied by his secretary I Wayan Sudiarsa.

In response to the problem, Sukarta mentioned that some time ago his agency already

made a joint meeting with provincial government. At that time, it was decided to plan the establishment of a repatriation team by involving provincial and district labor agency, the BP3TKI and police department.

If the team has left for Malaysia, it will be communicated to the concerned families. “It is the result of meeting of the Women Empowerment and Child Protection some time ago. Since it is the issue of Bali, the provincial government then facilitates the efforts,” he explained.

The budget of repatriation will be obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is said that the

four residents are in good condition. Based on the latest information, they are currently in a typical woman safe house. “Our residents remain in good condition. We also have to convey this information to their family during the meeting,” said Sukarta.

Furthermore, this former principal of the SMAN 1 Kintamani high school delivered that when the four residents left for Malaysia, their family only knew if they wanted to find a job, while the labor agency sending them is not known for sure and so are their supporting documents. To anticipate such recurrence, residents wishing to look for job overseas are expected to consult

to the Social and Labor Agency.

“Some of their parents only know if their daughters departed to the country to look for job. However, they do not know who sends and what visa they use. As a result, this raises a concern,” he explained.

In addition to the four residents, the Social and Labor Agency is also informed if there remains another citizen working in Malaysia illegally. To ensure this, his agency will immediately perform a data collection. “We have known where the resident comes from but now we are still collecting data. Hopefully, no problem will arise,” he added.

Chief of the Tabanan Health Agency, Nyoman Suratmika, explained that before having the status as extraordinary event, the actions provided for dengue fever in Tabanan is handling the outbreak case. To that end, though the status has been declared as extraordinary event, the measures taken remain to run as usual.

Regarding the financing for the treatment of dengue patients that should be financed by the government when declared to have the status as extraordinary event, according to Suratmika, currently there has been a health insurance issued by the government.

“Since the presence of Bali

Mandara health insurance (JKBM), free financing is not only given to dengue fever. All other diseases are also covered by this insurance. So, all this time whether it is extraordinary event or not, all the health services have been financed by the government through the JKBM,” he said.

Other than JKBM, there has been other government insurance namely the National Health Insurance either of PBI (contribution recipient) or non-PBI. Suratmika explained even though there has been a death case the fogging measure as well as ULV remain to be carried out on schedule and on location in case there is a positive case of dengue. “Imple-

mentation of the fogging or ULV is only focused on the area where there is positive case,” he said.

The measure promoted in the status of extraordinary event is the increase in the mosquito nests elimination. To that end, it has been issued a circular of the regent to each public health center and coordinated with subdistrict head to regularly perform mosquito nests eradication in the area at least once a week. In the meantime, restriction is made to fogging or ULV because it uses chemical substances being harmful to human health when it is done too often.

Further, Suratmika added that even though there has been death case, actually dengue fever cases in Tabanan has decreased in May. Peak of the case occurred in March and April. Based on the data, dengue cases in January amounted to 104, February (166), March (133), April (109) and May (63). Thus, the total of dengue case in Tabanan is recorded to reach 571 cases. (kmb24)

Obama to Asians worried about U.S. election: Its going to be OK

HO CHI MINH CITY - U.S. President Barack Obama sought on Wednesday to ease growing Asian worries about the raucous election campaign to succeed him which has been dominated by the incendiary rhetoric of mogul Donald Trump, now the Republican Party’s nominee.

“I think other people sometimes look at our election system and say ‘what a mess’,” Obama told a townhall meeting with young leaders in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.

“But usually we end up doing okay because the American people are good people ... Sometimes our politics doesn’t express all the goodness of the people,” he said, without referring specifically to any of the presidential candidates.

Obama made the comments just before ending a three-day trip to Vietnam, whose high point was an announcement that Washington’s ban on sales of lethal weapons to the country - a vestige of the Vietnam War - would be completely lifted.

Obama repeatedly insisted that lifting the embargo was not a re-

sponse to Beijing’s assertiveness in the South China Sea. Critics accused Washington of throwing away a powerful lever it had to press communist-ruled Vietnam for improvements in human rights.

White House officials say the arms move was a natural step to take with a country that, once an enemy, is now a key part of Obama’s strategic ‘rebalance’ towards Asia and an important trade partner as its economy grows apace.

Obama also announced the Peace Corps would begin operating in Vietnam for the first time.

Across Asia, policymakers have been startled by Trump’s “isolationist” foreign policy pronouncements, which have challenged much of the status quo in Washington’s relations with the region.

Many fear Trump will feed insecurity in nations worried about China’s growing power, embolden nationalists and authoritarians, and unravel Obama’s ‘pivot’ to the Asia-Pacific.

At the townhall in Ho Chi Minh City, a young woman who had been an exchange student in Montana asked Obama what he thought of the prospects that Trump or Democratic contenders Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders following him to the White House.

“Usually, eventually the voters make good decisions and democracy works,” replied Obama, whose criticism of Trump has sharpened since he all but clinched the Republican nomination. “Things are going to be ok. I promise.”

Thousands of people lined the streets of Ho Chi Minh City for a second day to cheer enthusiastically and wave mini-flags of Vietnam and the United States as Obama drove by on his way to the airport for a flight to Japan. (rtr)

DAVAO - On May 14, five days after voters in the Philippines chose Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte as their next president, two masked gunmen cruised this southern city’s suburbs on a motorbike, looking for their kill.

Gil Gabrillo, 47, a drug user, was returning from a cockfight when the gunmen approached. One of them pumped four bullets into Gabrillo’s head and body, killing the small-time trader of goods instantly. Then the motorbike roared off.

The murder made no headlines in Davao, where Duterte’s loud approval for hundreds of execution-style killings of drug users and criminals over nearly two decades helped propel him to the highest office of a crime-weary land.

Human rights groups have documented at least 1,400 killings in Davao that they allege had been carried out by death squads since 1998. Most of those murdered were drug users, petty criminals and street children.

In a 2009 report, Human Rights Watch identified a consistent failure by police to seriously investigate targeted killings. It said acting and retired police officers worked as “handlers” for death-squad gunmen, giving them names and photos of targets - an allegation denied by Davao police.

But a four-year probe into such killings by the National Bureau of Investigation, the Philippines’ equivalent of the FBI, hasn’t led to a single prosecution, and one senior NBI agent told Reuters it will probably be shelved now that Duterte is set to become president. The nation’s Justice Secretary last week told reporters the probe may not be able to proceed.

Such impunity, and Duterte’s demands in recent weeks for more summary justice, could embolden death squads across the country, say human rights and church groups. Already there has been a spate of unsolved killings in nearby cities, with other mayors echoing Duterte’s support for vigilante justice.

“We’ve seen it happen in Davao and we’ve seen copycat practices,” Chito Gascon, chairman of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), an independent Philippine watchdog, told Reuters. “Now can you imagine he is president and the national model for crime-fighting is Davao?”

Ask Clarita Alia, 62, who still lives in the Davao slum where her four sons were murdered, and she gives a mirthless chuckle.

“Blood will flow like a river,” she says. (rtr)

Indonesia Today

The typical chief executive in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index made $10.8 million, including bonuses, stock awards and other compensation, according to a study by executive data firm Equilar for The Associated Press. That’s up from the median of $10.3 million the same group of CEOs made a year earlier.

The raise alone for median CEO pay last year, $468,449, is more than 10 times what the typical U.S. worker makes in a year. The median full-time worker earned $809 weekly in 2015, up from $791 in 2014.

“With inflation running at less than 2 percent, why?” asks Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware.

The answer is complicated. CEO pay packages now hinge on multiple layers of sometimes esoteric measurements of performance. That’s a result of corporate boards attempting to respond to years of criticism about excessiveness from Main Street America, regulators and even candidates on the presidential trail this year.

One bright spot, experts say, is the rise in the number of companies that tie CEO pay to how well their stocks perform. “There’s progress generally in aligning compensation with shareholder returns,” says Stu Dalheim, vice president of governance and advocacy at Calvert Investments, whose mutual funds look for socially and environmentally re-

sponsible companies. “But I don’t think this compensation is sustainable long term, because the U.S. population is increasingly focused and aware of the disparity.”

PAY BREAKDOWN More than half the median compensation of CEO pay is coming from stock and options, rather than cash. And companies are increasingly meting out those stock and option awards based on performance.

About a quarter of CEO incentive awards in the S&P 500 use total shareholder return as one of their measurements of performance.

That’s more than double the percentage from three years earlier. Companies also use familiar measurements like revenue and wonkier ones like return on invested capital.

The tie to shareholder return is one reason the rise in median CEO pay last year was the second-slowest in the past five years. Of the 341 executives in this year’s pay survey, the median stock returned zero in the latest fiscal year. Last year’s 4.5 percent raise for CEOs was faster than the prior year’s 0.8 percent, but well below the 8.8 percent gain of 2013.

Even though CEO pay was up last year when stock returns were flat, big investors don’t see it as a necessarily bad thing. Many say they take a longer view, similar to how they hope to hold onto their stock investments for many years.

Capital Group, whose American Funds family of mutual funds rank among the country’s biggest, goes back at least three years when considering CEO pay versus performance, says Anne Chapman, vice president of investment operations.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index returned a total of 53 percent in the three years through 2015.

NO. 1 ON THE CHART The top-paid CEO in this past year’s survey, Expedia’s Dara Khosrowshahi, made $94.6 million last year. Most of that came from stock options, which came as part of a new five-and-a-half-year employment agreement and which vest over several years. He’ll get a chunk of those options, currently valued at $30.4 million, only if he’s able to push the stock up to an average of $170 in the run up to his contract’s end in September 2020. Expedia stock closed Tuesday at $113.17.

“This is a great example of a pay-forperformance CEO compensation plan,” says Sarah Gavin, spokeswoman for Expedia.

“He’s really led the company in a turnaround, and this is about him continuing to perform and return real value customers, partners and shareholders over the next five years.” Expedia’s stock returned 47 percent last year.

At Viacom, shareholders lost 42 percent in its latest fiscal year, which ended in September. That’s even though CEO Philippe Dauman made $54.1 million, a 22 percent raise from the prior year.

Much of Dauman’s compensation was due to a contract renewal, which included

Belt-tightening in Brazil aimed at fighting economic crisis

Brazil’s Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles cups his ears to hear a journalist’s question better during a news conference following a meeting on economic measures with Congressional party leaders at Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia, Tuesday, May 24, 2016.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s acting president announced austerity measures Tuesday aimed at pulling Latin America’s largest economy from its worst crisis in decades, warning that a failure to act will mean “extraordinary hardship” for future generations.

Speaking with government leaders in a national televised meeting, interim President Michel Temer, 75, also banged his hand on the table while insisting he was up to the job.

Temer said the government would get an early repayment of about $28 billion from Brazil’s state-run investment bank BNDES and immediately abolish a fund created to channel oil revenues into education.

He also pledged to limit annual growth in government spending to the rate of inflation, currently around 10 percent.

The most aggressive belt-tightening plans will depend on the Congress, and especially the Senate.

Senators must vote in the coming months on whether to return suspended President Dilma Rousseff to office after an impeachment trial or permanently remove

her. The latter would let Temer stay in the presidency through 2018.

Temer, who was vice president, took over this month after Rousseff was impeached by the Senate for allegedly using accounting tricks in managing the federal budget. Rousseff has argued she did nothing wrong and promises to fight permanent removal at her upcoming trial.

Temer was vague about a timeline for introducing legislation on his “No. 1 priority” of reforming Brazil’s pension system. Last week, he appointed a commission to study and negotiate changes. However, two of the country’s largest unions have refused to participate, saying they don’t recognize his government.

“Further down the road, we will sentence the Brazilian people to an extraordinary hardship if we don’t act,” Temer said.

Brazil’s economy, an important engine for many South American nations, is expected to contract around 3 percent this year after a fall of almost 4 percent in 2015.(ap)

Media helps to spread Islamic values

JAKARTA - Indonesian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister A.M. Fachir emphasized that the media was instrumental in spreading Islamic values among nations.

“When we speak about the media, we discuss its role in disseminating Islamic values,” Fachir stated in his opening remarks at the International Conference of Islamic Media here on Wednesday.

The deputy foreign affairs minister opened the conference themed “Islamic Media to Protect Islam and Muslim Interests, Especially Palestine and Al Quds Liberation.”

Fachir affirmed that the media played a role in highlighting the reality, values, and recommendations of the results of international conferences and summits.

The minister also recognized the role of the Islamic media in voicing the concerns of countries, especially Islamic nations, on the liberation of Palestine. The conference specifically addressed the role of the Islamic media in supporting the Palestinian struggle to break

free from Israeli occupation and in defending the Islamic world.

The deputy foreign minister noted that the media had been used for certain purposes of a party to hide the truth. “The basic role of the media is to showcase facts and truth to the world,” he stressed.

Therefore, the Islamic media should play an active role in spreading facts and truth and in voicing the message of peace from every nation. At least 50 representatives from over 17 countries attended the conference.

The attendees comprised chief editors of news agencies in Islamic countries, ambassadors of Islamic countries in Jakarta, experts and practitioners of mass media, organizations of Muslim journalists, leaders of Islamic colleges, non-governmental and community organizations, lecturers, college students as well as community leaders concerned about the Palestinian liberation and protecting Muslims.

The countries participating in

the conference were Australia, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, Libya, the Philippines, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, Sudan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United States, Palestine, Great Britain, and Saudi Arabia.

News Director of ANTARA National News Agency Aat Surya Safaat stated that the media had a role in highlighting Palestinian problems, which had been overshadowed by news on issues in other countries, such as the turmoil in Egypt and Yemen.

“We invited Muslim and nonMuslim journalists to attend the conference as Palestines problem is not about religion but humanity,” he emphasized.

Safaat said the conference could draw an initiative to establish a Muslim journalists association.

“There is a possibility that the conference could be organized periodically. This time, Indonesia hosts the conference, and later, Turkey may host it,” he added.(ant)

The five detainees are Chief of the Kepahiang District Court Janner Purba, ad hoc judge of the Bengkulu Anti-corruption Court Toton, officer of the anticorruption court Bachsin, former deputy finance director of the Regional Public Hospital M. Yunus in Bengkulu Edi Santroni, and the hospitals finance department head Syafri Syafii. The suspects are being detained in Jakarta as of Wednesday morning.

They were caught red-handed by the KPK in Kepahiang in

Bengkulu. The agency seized Rp150 million that was given

by Syafri to Purba, who had also received Rp500 million from Edi on May 17.

The bribe was given to influence the verdict in favor of Edi and Syafri who were being tried in the district court over an embezzlement case.

The suspects have been accused of manipulating the salaries of the hospitals advisory board members. The verdict was due to be read out last Tuesday.(ant)

Indonesian, Turkish attorney generals discuss ISIS issue JAKARTA - Indonesian Attorney General HM Prasetyo and his Turkish counterpart Halil Yilmaz here, Tuesday, held a meeting to discuss issues related to ISIS. Prasetyo told Yilmaz that Indonesian nationals had been recruited at least twice by ISIS through Turkey.

Turkey had helped foil one of ISIS attempts to recruit 16 Indonesians, who had reportedly gone missing, but were, in fact, located in the Turkish border area and were about to join the militant organization.

The Indonesian government has lauded the Turkish authorities for their efforts in preventing the 16 Indonesians from joining the terrorist group.

The two officials explored the possibility of establishing a concrete cooperation agreement on investigation, information exchange, and extradition.

Turkey and Indonesia share a common understanding in dealing with terrorism, illicit drugs, illegal logging, trafficking, and illegal fishing, he noted. “We agree to establish cooperation in fighting those crimes,” Prasetyo remarked.

Turkey has offered to exchange information and share its experiences in dealing with several crimes.(ant)

Euro zone hails “breakthrough” with Greece, IMF debt deal

BRUSSELS - The euro zone gave Greece its firmest offer yet of debt relief in what finance ministers called a breakthrough deal that won a provisional commitment from the IMF to return to taking part in the bailout for Athens, heartening investors.

After talks that lasted into the small hours of Wednesday, Eurogroup finance ministers gave a nod to releasing 10.3 billion euros ($11.5 billion) in new funds for Greece in recognition of painful fiscal reforms pushed through by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s leftist-led coalition, subject to some final technical tweaks.

But a bigger step forward was a deal under which the euro zone agreed to offer Athens debt relief in 2018 if that is necessary to meet agreed criteria on its payments burden. In the meantime, the currency area’s rescue fund was given approval to take steps to smooth out Greece’s debt service path.

However, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble avoided any immediate commitment to rescheduling Greek debt that would have required him to secure approval from a sceptical parliament in Berlin before a general election

next year.

The deal was nevertheless to secure agreement in principle from the International Monetary Fund to rejoin the euro zone in funding the bailout of Greece, subject to its board’s approval.

“We achieved a major breakthrough on Greece which enables us to enter a new phase in the Greek financial assistance programme,” Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister, told a 2 a.m. news conference.

“It was difficult because we are asking a lot of the Greeks, the IMF was asking a lot of us, and we were asking quite a lot of the IMF to step back in,” he told reporters on arrival for Wednesday’s session of all 28 EU finance ministers.

Financial markets welcomed the agreement, which averted any repeat of last year’s Greek default to the IMF that took it to the brink of exit from the euro area, threatening wider

destabilisation of the 19-nation currency zone.

Greece’s 10-year government bond yield fell to a six-month low of 7.09 percent and 2-year yields slid below 7 percent on the news.

Yields on government bonds issued

by Spain, Italy and Portugal - known as “peripheral” euro zone economies - also dropped as Greece’s progress boosted investors’ willingness to buy other riskier assets.

“The agreement between Greece and its creditors is positive for risk sentiment and in turn peripheral bond markets,” said Rene Arecht, a derivatives market analyst at DZ Bank.

Acknowledging the “political capital” European ministers invested to reach the deal - a nod to strong German objections to debt relief Dijsselbloem called it a “new phase” in a six-year drama to stabilise Greece’s finances that had taken the euro zone to the brink of break-up.

Mutual trust was returning to the talks, he said, nearly a year after Tsipras’s rejection of austerity measures pushed Athens close to be pushed out of the euro. (rtr)

Avigdor Lieberman, head of far-right Yisrael Beitenu party, (L) gestures as he sits next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they sign a coalition deal to broaden the government’s parliamentary majority, at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem May 25, 2016.

Netanyahu signs coalition deal, names far-right Lieberman defence chief

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his choice for defence minister, ultranationalist Avigdor Lieberman, signed a coalition agreement on Wednesday and issued assurances that the most right wing government in Israel’s history would act responsibly.

Once Lieberman is sworn in, Netanyahu will have a government of 66 legislators, widening his current one-seat majority in the 120-member parliament, a goal the Israeli leader has said he has sought since winning a fourth term last year.

Lieberman’s return to office - he was previously foreign minister has raised questions at home and abroad given his past criticism of Israel’s Arab minority, U.S.-sponsored peace talks with Palestinians and regional powers Egypt and Turkey.

At the signing ceremony, in which Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party formally agreed to join Netanyahu’s Likud, both men switched from Hebrew to English to deliver a message to the international community.

“My government remains committed to pursuing peace with the Palestinians, pursuing peace with all our neighbours,” said Netanyahu. “My policy has not changed.

We will continue to pursue every avenue for peace, while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens.”

He said a broader and more stable government would make it easier to “seize new opportunities” in the region, a reference to potential peace moves with Arab states that share Israel’s concern about Islamist militancy and Iran.

Palestinian officials said that with Lieberman, who lives in a

settlement in the occupied West Bank, back in the cabinet as defence minister prospects for reviving statehood negotiations that collapsed in 2014 had grown dimmer.

But also speaking in English, Lieberman, who once famously threatened to bomb Egypt’s Aswan dam and has called for the assassination of Hamas Islamist leaders in Gaza, promised a “responsible and reasonable” policy.

“At the end of the day my intention (is) to provide security and of course all of us we have a commitment, strong commitment, to the peace, to the final status agreement (with the Palestinians),” said the Soviet-born party leader.

Nabil Abu Rdainah, the spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said: “What’s important is deeds not words... “Israel should learn the true lesson from making peace because there can be no peace and no stability in the region unless the Palestinian cause is resolved.”

Netanyahu began negotiations with Lieberman last week after coalition talks failed with the centre-left Zionist Union, the main opposition. The courting of Lieberman came as a surprise as he and Netanyahu have been sharply dismissive of one another.

Several former Israeli defence ministers have criticised Lieberman’s appointment to the sensitive post, citing the politician’s relative lack of military experience.

Yisrael Beitenu has six legislators, but one of them, Orly LeviAbekasis, has said she is leaving the party and would vote independently in parliament, citing what she called its failure to pursue economic and social reforms. (rtr)

Thunder one win from Finals after Game 4 blowout

OKLAHOMA - The Oklahoma City Thunder moved within one victory of the NBA Finals after beating the Golden State Warriors 118-94 in Game Four on Tuesday.

Russell Westbrook collected 36 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City grabbed a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals, thanks in large part to Westbrook’s first triple-double of the postseason.

Defending champions Golden State will attempt to stay alive on Thursday at home in Game 5.

Thunder forward Kevin Durant scored 26 points on 8-of-24 shooting to go with 11 rebounds. Serge Ibaka and Andre Roberson each scored 17 points, while Steven Adams posted 11 points and seven boards.

Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 26 points. League MVP Stephen Curry was held to 19 points on 6-of-20 shooting, and he and Thompson combined to make just six of 21 3-point attempts. Harrison Barnes posted 11 points in the loss.

The Warriors lost back-to-back games for the first time in the postseason after never losing consecutive games in the regular season during their record-setting, 73-win campaign.

They fell by a combined 52 points over the two games in Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Durant came out of the blocks on the attack. Instead of settling for jump shots and 3-pointers, he started the night driving the ball to the rim and forcing the Warriors to foul him. Durant and Westbrook were a combined 12-for-12 from the line in the first half. As a team, the Warriors only attempted 17 free throws in the opening two quarters.

The Warriors, who fell behind by 14, got back into the game without their superstars leading the way. It was the play of Barnes and Festus Ezeli that helped Golden State close the gap to two midway through the second quarter.

Koji Murofushi

IBP/net

TOKYO - Olympic hammer throw gold medallist Koji Murofushi will return after a two-year absence from competition to bid for a place at the Rio de Janeiro Games at the age of 41.

Murofushi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games and bronze at London four years ago, will compete at Japan’s national athletics trials in Nagoya next month, Kyodo news reported.

“As an athlete, I want to keep competing until I no longer can,”

the news agency quoted Murofushi as saying.

“I have to find a way to make the time to work. It won’t be like when I was younger. I have to give it all I’ve got on the day of the meet.

“It’s still there. I just have to find a way to bring it to the fore.”

Murofushi became the field event’s oldest world champion when he won at Daegu in 2011 at the age of 36.

After winning his 20th national title in 2014, he declined to compete last year, citing his hope for a new generation of Japanese throwers to emerge.

He is following in the footsteps of his hammer throwing father Shigenobu Murofushi, a triple Olympian who was flag bearer for Japan at the 1984 Los Angeles Games and competed well into his 40’s.

Shigenobu long held the national record until his son broke it in 1998. (rtr)

Conte: Pirlo and Giovinco paying price for playing in MLS FLORENCE — Andrea Pirlo and Sebastian Giovinco paid the price for choosing to play in Major League Soccer according to Italy coach Antonio Conte, who left the duo out of his preliminary 30-man squad for the European Championship.

Giovinco has impressed since moving to Toronto FC in February 2015. The former Juventus striker scored 22 goals and added 16 assists in his first season, and has a league-high eight goals and five assists in 12 games this campaign.

Pirlo joined New York City FC last July and has not been picked for the national team since September. The veteran midfielder had been a mainstay of the Italy team since his debut in 2002, making more than 100 appearances and helping the Azzurri win the World Cup in 2006.

“I spoke to Andrea,” Conte said on Tuesday. “I sent people to America for seven days to evaluate him and Sebastian. It’s clear that if you make such choices in football then at the end you might pay the consequences. “We had people in Europe and abroad in order to get very clear ideas.”

Conte will name his final 23-man squad for the tournament on May 31. “I have very few doubts, in my head I already have a precise plan,” he said. “There are two, or maximum three, places to decide, but my ideas are very clear and I am fairly calm on that front.”

Conte’s preparations for Euro 2016 have been hampered by injuries to key players such as Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti, who are out of the tournament.

Fellow midfielders Riccardo Montolivo and Thiago Motta were named in the squad but their medical conditions will be examined and a decision made in the next few days.

“I have tried to bring the best,” Conte said. “The choices were made based on what I believe and what we have done in the past few years.

“We will work this week and evaluate the conditions of Montolivo and Motta, it’s a blow that they’re not available. We have to be ready for every eventuality, the injuries to Verratti and Marchisio changed a few things but now there are others.”

Italy is in one of the toughest groups at Euro 2016. It opens against Belgium on June 13, before playing Sweden four days later and Ireland on June 22.

Italy plays Scotland on Sunday and Finland on June 6 in its two final friendlies before the tournament. (ap)

Cristiano Ronaldo OK after injury scare in Madrid practice MADRID — Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid’s training session early after an injury scare on Tuesday, but doctors said the forward is not at risk of missing the Champions League final.

Ronaldo hurt his left leg after colliding with reserve goalkeeper Kiko Casilla while going for a ball crossed into the area near the end of the session. He appeared in pain and stayed on the ground for a few moments as players surrounded him with concern.

After being assisted on the field, the Portuguese forward walked off the pitch on his own and doctors quickly dismissed any serious injuries, saying it was a minor knock to his thigh.

Ronaldo said it was just a

scare and guaranteed he will be fit to play Saturday’s final against Atletico Madrid in Milan.

“I feel good,” he said. “I just had a small problem in the training but in a couple of days I will be 100 percent.”

Ronaldo had already missed a few games late in the season — including the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Manchester City — because of a right-leg muscle problem. In addition to helping Madrid win its 11th European title, Ronaldo will also have a chance to break his own record of 17 goals set in the 2013-14 competition.

“I would like to score again, of course, but the record is already

mine whether I score or not,” he said. “Records must be beaten in a natural way, so I don’t care about that. The important thing is to win, with a goal by Cristiano or without a goal by Cristiano, whatever. I don’t care about that because if we win, we all win and it’s Real Madrid that counts.”

Ronaldo scored the final goal when Real Madrid defeated Atletico 4-1 in extra time in the 2014 Champions League final in Lisbon, Portugal.

He said he still remembers the moment he lifted the trophy two years ago and was looking forward to doing it again on Saturday. “It would be a failure for us if we lost,” Ronaldo said. “But we are going to win it.” (ap)

Liverpool signs goalkeeper Karius from German club Mainz

LIVERPOOL — Liverpool has signed goalkeeper Loris Karius from German club Mainz for $7 million.

Karius will take the No. 1 jersey while current first-choice keeper Simon Mignolet retains No. 22.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp says Karius “will add to the quality we have in this position and I look forward to working with him and

all our players when we return for pre-season.”

Mignolet’s status has not been threatened since arriving three years ago despite some unconvincing performances.

Ronald said Everton had not contacted his brother about the vacant manager’s job at Goodison Park but he would find an offer from the club difficult to result should it arise.

“Frank is keen (on managing

Everton),” Ronald de Boer told the Liverpool Echo. “Everton are a big club and it would be a challenge, but I know for sure he would take the job if offered. But he hasn’t spoken to Everton.”Everton finished 11th in the league table and Martinez was sacked on May 12. (rtr)

Conte: Pirlo and Giovinco paying price for playing in MLS FLORENCE — Andrea Pirlo and Sebastian Giovinco paid the price for choosing to play in Major League Soccer according to Italy coach Antonio Conte, who left the duo out of his preliminary 30-man squad for the European Championship.

Giovinco has impressed since moving to Toronto FC in February 2015. The former Juventus striker scored 22 goals and added 16 assists in his first season, and has a league-high eight goals and five assists in 12 games this campaign.

Pirlo joined New York City FC last July and has not been picked for the national team since September. The veteran midfielder had been a mainstay of the Italy team since his debut in 2002, making more than 100 appearances and helping the Azzurri win the World Cup in 2006.

“I spoke to Andrea,” Conte said on Tuesday. “I sent people to America for seven days to evaluate him and Sebastian. It’s clear that if you make such choices in football then at the end you might pay the consequences. “We had people in Europe and abroad in order to get very clear ideas.”

Conte will name his final 23-man squad for the tournament on May 31. “I have very few doubts, in my head I already have a precise plan,” he said. “There are two, or maximum three, places to decide, but my ideas are very clear and I am fairly calm on that front.”

Conte’s preparations for Euro 2016 have been hampered by injuries to key players such as Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti, who are out of the tournament.

Fellow midfielders Riccardo Montolivo and Thiago Motta were named in the squad but their medical conditions will be examined and a decision made in the next few days.

“I have tried to bring the best,” Conte said. “The choices were made based on what I believe and what we have done in the past few years.

“We will work this week and evaluate the conditions of Montolivo and Motta, it’s a blow that they’re not available. We have to be ready for every eventuality, the injuries to Verratti and Marchisio changed a few things but now there are others.”

Italy is in one of the toughest groups at Euro 2016. It opens against Belgium on June 13, before playing Sweden four days later and Ireland on June 22.

Italy plays Scotland on Sunday and Finland on June 6 in its two final friendlies before the tournament. (ap)

Cristiano Ronaldo OK after injury scare in Madrid practice MADRID — Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid’s training session early after an injury scare on Tuesday, but doctors said the forward is not at risk of missing the Champions League final.

Ronaldo hurt his left leg after colliding with reserve goalkeeper Kiko Casilla while going for a ball crossed into the area near the end of the session. He appeared in pain and stayed on the ground for a few moments as players surrounded him with concern.

After being assisted on the field, the Portuguese forward walked off the pitch on his own and doctors quickly dismissed any serious injuries, saying it was a minor knock to his thigh.

Ronaldo said it was just a

scare and guaranteed he will be fit to play Saturday’s final against Atletico Madrid in Milan.

“I feel good,” he said. “I just had a small problem in the training but in a couple of days I will be 100 percent.”

Ronaldo had already missed a few games late in the season — including the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Manchester City — because of a right-leg muscle problem. In addition to helping Madrid win its 11th European title, Ronaldo will also have a chance to break his own record of 17 goals set in the 2013-14 competition.

“I would like to score again, of course, but the record is already

mine whether I score or not,” he said. “Records must be beaten in a natural way, so I don’t care about that. The important thing is to win, with a goal by Cristiano or without a goal by Cristiano, whatever. I don’t care about that because if we win, we all win and it’s Real Madrid that counts.”

Thunder one win from Finals after Game 4 blowout

OKLAHOMA - The Oklahoma City Thunder moved within one victory of the NBA Finals after beating the Golden State Warriors 118-94 in Game Four on Tuesday.

Russell Westbrook collected 36 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City grabbed a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals, thanks in large part to Westbrook’s first triple-double of the postseason.

Defending champions Golden State will attempt to stay alive on Thursday at home in Game 5.

Thunder forward Kevin Durant scored 26 points on 8-of-24 shooting to go with 11 rebounds. Serge Ibaka and Andre Roberson each scored 17 points, while Steven Adams posted 11 points and seven boards.

Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 26 points. League MVP Stephen Curry was held to 19 points on 6-of-20 shooting, and he and Thompson combined to make just six of 21 3-point attempts. Harrison Barnes posted 11 points in the loss.

The Warriors lost back-to-back games for the first time in the postseason after never losing consecutive games in the regular season during their record-setting, 73-win campaign.

They fell by a combined 52 points over the two games in Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Durant came out of the blocks on the attack. Instead of settling for jump shots and 3-pointers, he started the night driving the ball to the rim and forcing the Warriors to foul him. Durant and Westbrook were a combined 12-for-12 from the line in the first half. As a team, the Warriors only attempted 17 free throws in the opening two quarters.

The Warriors, who fell behind by 14, got back into the game without their superstars leading the way. It was the play of Barnes and Festus Ezeli that helped Golden State close the gap to two midway through the second quarter.

However, the Thunder kept pounding the

That included Adams getting to a loose ball outside the 3-point arc and firing a fastball pass to Roberson under the goal for a layup.

Koji Murofushi

IBP/net

TOKYO - Olympic hammer throw gold medallist Koji Murofushi will return after a two-year absence from competition to bid for a place at the Rio de Janeiro Games at the age of 41.

Murofushi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games and bronze at London four years ago, will compete at Japan’s national athletics trials in Nagoya next month, Kyodo news reported.

“As an athlete, I want to keep competing until I no longer can,”

the news agency quoted Murofushi as saying.

“I have to find a way to make the time to work. It won’t be like when I was younger. I have to give it all I’ve got on the day of the meet.

“It’s still there. I just have to find a way to bring it to the fore.”

Murofushi became the field event’s oldest world champion when he won at Daegu in 2011 at the age of 36.

After winning his 20th national title in 2014, he declined to compete last year, citing his hope for a new generation of Japanese throwers to emerge.

He is following in the footsteps of his hammer throwing father Shigenobu Murofushi, a triple Olympian who was flag bearer for Japan at the 1984 Los Angeles Games and competed well into his 40’s.

Shigenobu long held the national record until his son broke it in 1998. (rtr)

Euro zone hails “breakthrough” with Greece, IMF debt deal

BRUSSELS - The euro zone gave Greece its firmest offer yet of debt relief in what finance ministers called a breakthrough deal that won a provisional commitment from the IMF to return to taking part in the bailout for Athens, heartening investors.

After talks that lasted into the small hours of Wednesday, Eurogroup finance ministers gave a nod to releasing 10.3 billion euros ($11.5 billion) in new funds for Greece in recognition of painful fiscal reforms pushed through by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s leftist-led coalition, subject to some final technical tweaks.

But a bigger step forward was a deal under which the euro zone agreed to offer Athens debt relief in 2018 if that is necessary to meet agreed criteria on its payments burden. In the meantime, the currency area’s rescue fund was given approval to take steps to smooth out Greece’s debt service path.

However, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble avoided any immediate commitment to rescheduling Greek debt that would have required him to secure approval from a sceptical parliament in Berlin before a general election

next year.

The deal was nevertheless to secure agreement in principle from the International Monetary Fund to rejoin the euro zone in funding the bailout of Greece, subject to its board’s approval.

“We achieved a major breakthrough on Greece which enables us to enter a new phase in the Greek financial assistance programme,” Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister, told a 2 a.m. news conference.

“It was difficult because we are asking a lot of the Greeks, the IMF was asking a lot of us, and we were asking quite a lot of the IMF to step back in,” he told reporters on arrival for Wednesday’s session of all 28 EU finance ministers.

Financial markets welcomed the agreement, which averted any repeat of last year’s Greek default to the IMF that took it to the brink of exit from the euro area, threatening wider

destabilisation of the 19-nation currency zone.

Greece’s 10-year government bond yield fell to a six-month low of 7.09 percent and 2-year yields slid below 7 percent on the news.

Yields on government bonds issued

by Spain, Italy and Portugal - known as “peripheral” euro zone economies - also dropped as Greece’s progress boosted investors’ willingness to buy other riskier assets.

“The agreement between Greece and its creditors is positive for risk sentiment and in turn peripheral bond markets,” said Rene Arecht, a derivatives market analyst at DZ Bank.

Acknowledging the “political capital” European ministers invested to reach the deal - a nod to strong German objections to debt relief Dijsselbloem called it a “new phase” in a six-year drama to stabilise Greece’s finances that had taken the euro zone to the brink of break-up.

Mutual trust was returning to the talks, he said, nearly a year after Tsipras’s rejection of austerity measures pushed Athens close to be pushed out of the euro. (rtr)

Avigdor Lieberman, head of far-right Yisrael Beitenu party, (L) gestures as he sits next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they sign a coalition deal to broaden the government’s parliamentary majority, at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem May 25, 2016.

Netanyahu signs coalition deal, names far-right Lieberman defence chief

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his choice for defence minister, ultranationalist Avigdor Lieberman, signed a coalition agreement on Wednesday and issued assurances that the most right wing government in Israel’s history would act responsibly.

Once Lieberman is sworn in, Netanyahu will have a government of 66 legislators, widening his current one-seat majority in the 120-member parliament, a goal the Israeli leader has said he has sought since winning a fourth term last year.

Lieberman’s return to office - he was previously foreign minister has raised questions at home and abroad given his past criticism of Israel’s Arab minority, U.S.-sponsored peace talks with Palestinians and regional powers Egypt and Turkey.

At the signing ceremony, in which Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu party formally agreed to join Netanyahu’s Likud, both men switched from Hebrew to English to deliver a message to the international community.

“My government remains committed to pursuing peace with the Palestinians, pursuing peace with all our neighbours,” said Netanyahu. “My policy has not changed.

We will continue to pursue every avenue for peace, while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens.”

He said a broader and more stable government would make it easier to “seize new opportunities” in the region, a reference to potential peace moves with Arab states that share Israel’s concern about Islamist militancy and Iran.

Palestinian officials said that with Lieberman, who lives in a

settlement in the occupied West Bank, back in the cabinet as defence minister prospects for reviving statehood negotiations that collapsed in 2014 had grown dimmer.

But also speaking in English, Lieberman, who once famously threatened to bomb Egypt’s Aswan dam and has called for the assassination of Hamas Islamist leaders in Gaza, promised a “responsible and reasonable” policy.

“At the end of the day my intention (is) to provide security and of course all of us we have a commitment, strong commitment, to the peace, to the final status agreement (with the Palestinians),” said the Soviet-born party leader.

Nabil Abu Rdainah, the spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said: “What’s important is deeds not words... “Israel should learn the true lesson from making peace because there can be no peace and no stability in the region unless the Palestinian cause is resolved.”

Netanyahu began negotiations with Lieberman last week after coalition talks failed with the centre-left Zionist Union, the main opposition. The courting of Lieberman came as a surprise as he and Netanyahu have been sharply dismissive of one another.

Several former Israeli defence ministers have criticised Lieberman’s appointment to the sensitive post, citing the politician’s relative lack of military experience.

Yisrael Beitenu has six legislators, but one of them, Orly LeviAbekasis, has said she is leaving the party and would vote independently in parliament, citing what she called its failure to pursue economic and social reforms. (rtr)

Indonesia Today

The typical chief executive in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index made $10.8 million, including bonuses, stock awards and other compensation, according to a study by executive data firm Equilar for The Associated Press. That’s up from the median of $10.3 million the same group of CEOs made a year earlier.

The raise alone for median CEO pay last year, $468,449, is more than 10 times what the typical U.S. worker makes in a year. The median full-time worker earned $809 weekly in 2015, up from $791 in 2014.

“With inflation running at less than 2 percent, why?” asks Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware.

The answer is complicated. CEO pay packages now hinge on multiple layers of sometimes esoteric measurements of performance. That’s a result of corporate boards attempting to respond to years of criticism about excessiveness from Main Street America, regulators and even candidates on the presidential trail this year.

One bright spot, experts say, is the rise in the number of companies that tie CEO pay to how well their stocks perform. “There’s progress generally in aligning compensation with shareholder returns,” says Stu Dalheim, vice president of governance and advocacy at Calvert Investments, whose mutual funds look for socially and environmentally re-

sponsible companies. “But I don’t think this compensation is sustainable long term, because the U.S. population is increasingly focused and aware of the disparity.”

PAY BREAKDOWN More than half the median compensation of CEO pay is coming from stock and options, rather than cash. And companies are increasingly meting out those stock and option awards based on performance.

About a quarter of CEO incentive awards in the S&P 500 use total shareholder return as one of their measurements of performance.

That’s more than double the percentage from three years earlier. Companies also use familiar measurements like revenue and wonkier ones like return on invested capital.

The tie to shareholder return is one reason the rise in median CEO pay last year was the second-slowest in the past five years. Of the 341 executives in this year’s pay survey, the median stock returned zero in the latest fiscal year. Last year’s 4.5 percent raise for CEOs was faster than the prior year’s 0.8 percent, but well below the 8.8 percent gain of 2013.

Even though CEO pay was up last year when stock returns were flat, big investors don’t see it as a necessarily bad thing. Many say they take a longer view, similar to how they hope to hold onto their stock investments for many years.

Capital Group, whose American Funds family of mutual funds rank among the country’s biggest, goes back at least three years when considering CEO pay versus performance, says Anne Chapman, vice president of investment operations.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index returned a total of 53 percent in the three years through 2015.

NO. 1 ON THE CHART The top-paid CEO in this past year’s survey, Expedia’s Dara Khosrowshahi, made $94.6 million last year. Most of that came from stock options, which came as part of a new five-and-a-half-year employment agreement and which vest over several years. He’ll get a chunk of those options, currently valued at $30.4 million, only if he’s able to push the stock up to an average of $170 in the run up to his contract’s end in September 2020. Expedia stock closed Tuesday at $113.17.

“This is a great example of a pay-forperformance CEO compensation plan,” says Sarah Gavin, spokeswoman for Expedia.

“He’s really led the company in a turnaround, and this is about him continuing to perform and return real value customers, partners and shareholders over the next five years.” Expedia’s stock returned 47 percent last year.

At Viacom, shareholders lost 42 percent in its latest fiscal year, which ended in September. That’s even though CEO Philippe Dauman made $54.1 million, a 22 percent raise from the prior year.

Much of Dauman’s compensation was due to a contract renewal, which included

Belt-tightening in Brazil aimed at fighting economic crisis

Brazil’s Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles cups his ears to hear a journalist’s question better during a news conference following a meeting on economic measures with Congressional party leaders at Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia, Tuesday, May 24, 2016.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s acting president announced austerity measures Tuesday aimed at pulling Latin America’s largest economy from its worst crisis in decades, warning that a failure to act will mean “extraordinary hardship” for future generations.

Speaking with government leaders in a national televised meeting, interim President Michel Temer, 75, also banged his hand on the table while insisting he was up to the job.

Temer said the government would get an early repayment of about $28 billion from Brazil’s state-run investment bank BNDES and immediately abolish a fund created to channel oil revenues into education.

He also pledged to limit annual growth in government spending to the rate of inflation, currently around 10 percent.

The most aggressive belt-tightening plans will depend on the Congress, and especially the Senate.

Senators must vote in the coming months on whether to return suspended President Dilma Rousseff to office after an impeachment trial or permanently remove

her. The latter would let Temer stay in the presidency through 2018.

Temer, who was vice president, took over this month after Rousseff was impeached by the Senate for allegedly using accounting tricks in managing the federal budget. Rousseff has argued she did nothing wrong and promises to fight permanent removal at her upcoming trial.

Temer was vague about a timeline for introducing legislation on his “No. 1 priority” of reforming Brazil’s pension system. Last week, he appointed a commission to study and negotiate changes. However, two of the country’s largest unions have refused to participate, saying they don’t recognize his government.

“Further down the road, we will sentence the Brazilian people to an extraordinary hardship if we don’t act,” Temer said.

Media helps to spread Islamic values

JAKARTA - Indonesian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister A.M. Fachir emphasized that the media was instrumental in spreading Islamic values among nations.

“When we speak about the media, we discuss its role in disseminating Islamic values,” Fachir stated in his opening remarks at the International Conference of Islamic Media here on Wednesday.

The deputy foreign affairs minister opened the conference themed “Islamic Media to Protect Islam and Muslim Interests, Especially Palestine and Al Quds Liberation.”

Fachir affirmed that the media played a role in highlighting the reality, values, and recommendations of the results of international conferences and summits.

The minister also recognized the role of the Islamic media in voicing the concerns of countries, especially Islamic nations, on the liberation of Palestine. The conference specifically addressed the role of the Islamic media in supporting the Palestinian struggle to break

free from Israeli occupation and in defending the Islamic world.

The deputy foreign minister noted that the media had been used for certain purposes of a party to hide the truth. “The basic role of the media is to showcase facts and truth to the world,” he stressed.

Therefore, the Islamic media should play an active role in spreading facts and truth and in voicing the message of peace from every nation. At least 50 representatives from over 17 countries attended the conference.

The attendees comprised chief editors of news agencies in Islamic countries, ambassadors of Islamic countries in Jakarta, experts and practitioners of mass media, organizations of Muslim journalists, leaders of Islamic colleges, non-governmental and community organizations, lecturers, college students as well as community leaders concerned about the Palestinian liberation and protecting Muslims.

The countries participating in

the conference were Australia, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, Libya, the Philippines, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, Sudan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United States, Palestine, Great Britain, and Saudi Arabia.

News Director of ANTARA National News Agency Aat Surya Safaat stated that the media had a role in highlighting Palestinian problems, which had been overshadowed by news on issues in other countries, such as the turmoil in Egypt and Yemen.

“We invited Muslim and nonMuslim journalists to attend the conference as Palestines problem is not about religion but humanity,” he emphasized.

Safaat said the conference could draw an initiative to establish a Muslim journalists association.

“There is a possibility that the conference could be organized periodically. This time, Indonesia hosts the conference, and later, Turkey may host it,” he added.(ant)

The five detainees are Chief of the Kepahiang District Court Janner Purba, ad hoc judge of the Bengkulu Anti-corruption Court Toton, officer of the anticorruption court Bachsin, former deputy finance director of the Regional Public Hospital M. Yunus in Bengkulu Edi Santroni, and the hospitals finance department head Syafri Syafii. The suspects are being detained in Jakarta as of Wednesday morning.

They were caught red-handed by the KPK in Kepahiang in

Bengkulu. The agency seized Rp150 million that was given

by Syafri to Purba, who had also received Rp500 million from Edi on May 17.

The bribe was given to influence the verdict in favor of Edi and Syafri who were being tried in the district court over an embezzlement case.

The suspects have been accused of manipulating the salaries of the hospitals advisory board members. The verdict was due to be read out last Tuesday.(ant)

Indonesian, Turkish attorney generals discuss ISIS issue JAKARTA - Indonesian Attorney General HM Prasetyo and his Turkish counterpart Halil Yilmaz here, Tuesday, held a meeting to discuss issues related to ISIS. Prasetyo told Yilmaz that Indonesian nationals had been recruited at least twice by ISIS through Turkey.

Turkey had helped foil one of ISIS attempts to recruit 16 Indonesians, who had reportedly gone missing, but were, in fact, located in the Turkish border area and were about to join the militant organization.

The Indonesian government has lauded the Turkish authorities for their efforts in preventing the 16 Indonesians from joining the terrorist group.

The two officials explored the possibility of establishing a concrete cooperation agreement on investigation, information exchange, and extradition.

Turkey and Indonesia share a common understanding in dealing with terrorism, illicit drugs, illegal logging, trafficking, and illegal fishing, he noted. “We agree to establish cooperation in fighting those crimes,” Prasetyo remarked.

Turkey has offered to exchange information and share its experiences in dealing with several crimes.(ant)

Chief of the Tabanan Health Agency, Nyoman Suratmika, explained that before having the status as extraordinary event, the actions provided for dengue fever in Tabanan is handling the outbreak case. To that end, though the status has been declared as extraordinary event, the measures taken remain to run as usual.

Regarding the financing for the treatment of dengue patients that should be financed by the government when declared to have the status as extraordinary event, according to Suratmika, currently there has been a health insurance issued by the government.

“Since the presence of Bali

Mandara health insurance (JKBM), free financing is not only given to dengue fever. All other diseases are also covered by this insurance. So, all this time whether it is extraordinary event or not, all the health services have been financed by the government through the JKBM,” he said.

Other than JKBM, there has been other government insurance namely the National Health Insurance either of PBI (contribution recipient) or non-PBI. Suratmika explained even though there has been a death case the fogging measure as well as ULV remain to be carried out on schedule and on location in case there is a positive case of dengue. “Imple-

mentation of the fogging or ULV is only focused on the area where there is positive case,” he said.

The measure promoted in the status of extraordinary event is the increase in the mosquito nests elimination. To that end, it has been issued a circular of the regent to each public health center and coordinated with subdistrict head to regularly perform mosquito nests eradication in the area at least once a week. In the meantime, restriction is made to fogging or ULV because it uses chemical substances being harmful to human health when it is done too often.

Further, Suratmika added that even though there has been death case, actually dengue fever cases in Tabanan has decreased in May. Peak of the case occurred in March and April. Based on the data, dengue cases in January amounted to 104, February (166), March (133), April (109) and May (63). Thus, the total of dengue case in Tabanan is recorded to reach 571 cases. (kmb24)

U.S. President Barack Obama attends a town hall meeting with members of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) at the GEM Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam May 25, 2016.

Obama to Asians worried about U.S. election: Its going to be OK

HO CHI MINH CITY - U.S. President Barack Obama sought on Wednesday to ease growing Asian worries about the raucous election campaign to succeed him which has been dominated by the incendiary rhetoric of mogul Donald Trump, now the Republican Party’s nominee.

“I think other people sometimes look at our election system and say ‘what a mess’,” Obama told a townhall meeting with young leaders in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.

“But usually we end up doing okay because the American people are good people ... Sometimes our politics doesn’t express all the goodness of the people,” he said, without referring specifically to any of the presidential candidates.

Obama made the comments just before ending a three-day trip to Vietnam, whose high point was an announcement that Washington’s ban on sales of lethal weapons to the country - a vestige of the Vietnam War - would be completely lifted.

Obama repeatedly insisted that lifting the embargo was not a re-

sponse to Beijing’s assertiveness in the South China Sea. Critics accused Washington of throwing away a powerful lever it had to press communist-ruled Vietnam for improvements in human rights.

White House officials say the arms move was a natural step to take with a country that, once an enemy, is now a key part of Obama’s strategic ‘rebalance’ towards Asia and an important trade partner as its economy grows apace.

Obama also announced the Peace Corps would begin operating in Vietnam for the first time.

Across Asia, policymakers have been startled by Trump’s “isolationist” foreign policy pronouncements, which have challenged much of the status quo in Washington’s relations with the region.

Many fear Trump will feed insecurity in nations worried about China’s growing power, embolden nationalists and authoritarians, and unravel Obama’s ‘pivot’ to the Asia-Pacific.

At the townhall in Ho Chi Minh City, a young woman who had been an exchange student in Montana asked Obama what he thought of the prospects that Trump or Democratic contenders Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders following him to the White House.

“Usually, eventually the voters make good decisions and democracy works,” replied Obama, whose criticism of Trump has sharpened since he all but clinched the Republican nomination. “Things are going to be ok. I promise.”

Thousands of people lined the streets of Ho Chi Minh City for a second day to cheer enthusiastically and wave mini-flags of Vietnam and the United States as Obama drove by on his way to the airport for a flight to Japan. (rtr)

DAVAO - On May 14, five days after voters in the Philippines chose Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte as their next president, two masked gunmen cruised this southern city’s suburbs on a motorbike, looking for their kill.

Gil Gabrillo, 47, a drug user, was returning from a cockfight when the gunmen approached. One of them pumped four bullets into Gabrillo’s head and body, killing the small-time trader of goods instantly. Then the motorbike roared off.

The murder made no headlines in Davao, where Duterte’s loud approval for hundreds of execution-style killings of drug users and criminals over nearly two decades helped propel him to the highest office of a crime-weary land.

Human rights groups have documented at least 1,400 killings in Davao that they allege had been carried out by death squads since 1998. Most of those murdered were drug users, petty criminals and street children.

In a 2009 report, Human Rights Watch identified a consistent failure by police to seriously investigate targeted killings. It said acting and retired police officers worked as “handlers” for death-squad gunmen, giving them names and photos of targets - an allegation denied by Davao police.

But a four-year probe into such killings by the National Bureau of Investigation, the Philippines’ equivalent of the FBI, hasn’t led to a single prosecution, and one senior NBI agent told Reuters it will probably be shelved now that Duterte is set to become president. The nation’s Justice Secretary last week told reporters the probe may not be able to proceed.

Such impunity, and Duterte’s demands in recent weeks for more summary justice, could embolden death squads across the country, say human rights and church groups. Already there has been a spate of unsolved killings in nearby cities, with other mayors echoing Duterte’s support for vigilante justice.

“We’ve seen it happen in Davao and we’ve seen copycat practices,” Chito Gascon, chairman of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), an independent Philippine watchdog, told Reuters. “Now can you imagine he is president and the national model for crime-fighting is Davao?”

Ask Clarita Alia, 62, who still lives in the Davao slum where her four sons were murdered, and she gives a mirthless chuckle.

“Blood will flow like a river,” she says. (rtr)

Early exposure to traffic pollution may affect lungs later

STOCKHOLM - Infants exposed to higher levels of vehicular air pollution more often have problems later on in the small airways near the edges of their lungs, according to a new study.

The finding that early life exposure to air pollutants affects the so-called peripheral airways, “has not been reported before,” said lead author Dr. Erica S. Schultz of the Karolinska Institutet Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden.

“The lungs and airways are exposed to different air pollutants throughout life, but as the lungs are not fully developed at birth, young children are considered to be particularly vulnerable to adverse effects,” she said.

Because the effects are small, they may have little impact on healthy people living in areas with little pollution, Schultz and her coauthors write.

But the findings may be relevant in areas with high pollution levels and for people with respiratory conditions.

The researchers studied roughly 2,400 children recruited between 1994 and 1996 in Sweden for whom they had data on air pollution exposure as infants and lung function as teens. In particular, they studied the “resistance” in the teen’s peripheral airways, or how hard it is to get air through those passages.

The researchers focused on nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust and particulate matter from road erosion. They used records of road traffic, meteorological conditions and topography to model pollution levels at residential and school addresses for the kids in the first year of life and for the year prior to their 16th birthdays.

As infant exposure to nitrogen oxides increased by 10 micrograms per cubic meter, teen airway resistance also increased. The association was strongest for boys and for those with

asthma at age 16.

Pollution exposure at ages 15 and 16 was not related to lung function, however.

The authors reported in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology that particulate matter did not have a significant relationship with airway resistance.

“An increasing amount of studies demonstrate the importance of airway periphery for lung health,” Schultz told Reuters Health by email. “What´s concerning is that the effect from first year of life seem to be long-lasting although we yet don’t know the full clinical implication of this effect.”

Most teens would not feel any symptoms of their reduced lung function as the effect was small, she said.

Stockholm has relatively low air pollution levels, she said. For more polluted cities, the effects may be greater and cause conditions like asthma, heart attacks, strokes and early death. (rtr)

Human bones found on beach eroded by coastal abrasion

NEGARA - Human bones, including a skull were found on the beach at Ketapang hamlet in Pengambengan by local residents who were dismantling houses along the shore that has been eaten away by coastal abrasion. The bones were first seen at high tide on Tuesday May 24th.

The healthcare community remains deeply divided over the devices. Some healthcare experts are concerned about how little is known about the potential health risks.

U.S. e-cigarette use stalls as health concerns grow

NEW YORK - Use of electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices has stalled in the United States as more Americans question their safety, according to a new online Reuters/Ipsos poll.

About 10 percent of the 9,766 adults surveyed between April 19 and May 16 use the devices, the same percentage as in a similar Reuters/Ipsos poll in May, 2015. This year, however, a growing percentage of participants expressed negative attitudes toward ecigarettes. Forty-seven percent of respondents said vaping was not healthier than smoking conventional cigarettes compared with 38 percent who felt that way a year ago.

Forty-three percent said they did not believe vaping could help people quit smoking compared with 39 percent who held that view in 2015. A majority of participants - 66 percent - say that vaping can be addictive compared with 61 percent in 2015. Additionally, 49 percent said this year that it could have a similar effect to that of second-hand tobacco smoke compared with 42 percent last year.

The growing concerns about the devices could hit their already slowing sales, especially for smaller e-cigarette and vaping companies. Many of these brands have lost market share to big tobacco companies, such as Altria and Reynolds American Inc. Some do not expect to survive with new U.S. rules to regulate the e-cigarette

market.

“In some ways, a move away from e-cigarettes is actually positive for Altria and Reynolds,” said Morningstar analyst Adam Fleck, pointing out it may help sustain sales of conventional cigarettes, whose margins are much higher.

Sharra Morris, 42, a mental health counselor in Moore, Oklahoma, started using ecigarettes in February despite some misgivings about their safety. She tried vaping to help her quit smoking regular cigarettes.

“The question now is: are they really safe?” said Morris, who likes to vape using liquids flavored to taste like Fruit Loops cereal and Snickerdoodle cookies. “What will they tell us in 20 years?”

E-cigarettes are metal tubes that heat liquids typically laced with nicotine and deliver vapor when inhaled. The liquids come in thousands of flavors, from cotton candy to pizza.

Use of the devices has grown quickly in the last decade, with U.S. sales expected to reach $4.1 billion in 2016, according to Wells Fargo Securities. Sales were down 6 percent in the first quarter of 2016, however.

The healthcare community remains deeply divided over the devices. Some healthcare experts are concerned about how little is known about the potential health risks. They are especially worried about rising teen e-cigarette use, and fear that may get a new generation hooked on nicotine. (rtr)

However when these same residents returned to the site, the bones were gone, perhaps washed away by the large waves. It is assumed the bones emerged because the shore had been eroded by the crashing waves. In this same area, there once stood a lighthouse that had been used by the Japanese army as a headquarters during the war.

Before abrasion ate away the shoreline, barrel shaped foundations had been seen.

“Possibly these were the remains of victims of war”, affirmed Amat, a local resident.

The first person to find the bones on the beach on Tuesday was a local resident named Samsuri who said that he dared not try to collect the bones for fear of the high tide. He explained that there had been an intact human skeleton complete with skull, but that since it was high tide it was only glimpsed for a few moments before being taken by the waves.

Jembrana Police were alerted and went to the beach to investigate, but the bones were already gone. Also many local residents were evacuated to avoid the negative impact of abrasion. A local man named Suena explained that he finally had to face the fact that his home would be taken by the sea, so he had gone to live with his brother after he and his children dismantled their bamboo house and sorted which materials could still be used ot build a new house later.

Suena was not alone, as many of his neighbours faced the same dilemma. Ahmad Ibrahim for example, also had to move in with relatives that live nearby. Ibrahim said he was worried that the increasingly larger waves would inundate his home. “Now, I must evacuate for fear of the house collapsing because the ocean waves are very high” he explained.

After detained for a month in Malaysia Four citizens have not gone home

BANGLI - Four residents of Bangli having been detained in Malaysia since last month as possessing no working permit do not go home yet. In response to this problem, the provincial government of Bali will establish a repatriation team by involving the Labor Agency, the Agency for Service, Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BP3TKI) and police department.

The Head of the Bangli Social and Labor Agency, I Nengah Sukarta, with permission from the regent explained on Monday (May 23) that the residents having been detained in Malaysia since last month, consist of Ni Putu

Trisnayanti, 21, from Srokadan hamlet, Abuan, Susut; Ni Komang Sri Wahyuni, 19, and Ni Putu Maretningsih, 19, from Lateng hamlet, Dausa, Kintamani; and Ni Luh Diana Sari, 21, from Satra village, Kintamani. They were arrested because of having no official working permit.

“They have been working in the country for years. They departed to work through illegal labor agency.

Perhaps they departed by using holiday visa,” he explained accompanied by his secretary I Wayan Sudiarsa.

In response to the problem, Sukarta mentioned that some time ago his agency already

made a joint meeting with provincial government. At that time, it was decided to plan the establishment of a repatriation team by involving provincial and district labor agency, the BP3TKI and police department.

If the team has left for Malaysia, it will be communicated to the concerned families. “It is the result of meeting of the Women Empowerment and Child Protection some time ago. Since it is the issue of Bali, the provincial government then facilitates the efforts,” he explained.

The budget of repatriation will be obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is said that the

four residents are in good condition. Based on the latest information, they are currently in a typical woman safe house. “Our residents remain in good condition. We also have to convey this information to their family during the meeting,” said Sukarta.

Furthermore, this former principal of the SMAN 1 Kintamani high school delivered that when the four residents left for Malaysia, their family only knew if they wanted to find a job, while the labor agency sending them is not known for sure and so are their supporting documents. To anticipate such recurrence, residents wishing to look for job overseas are expected to consult

to the Social and Labor Agency.

“Some of their parents only know if their daughters departed to the country to look for job. However, they do not know who sends and what visa they use. As a result, this raises a concern,” he explained.

In addition to the four residents, the Social and Labor Agency is also informed if there remains another citizen working in Malaysia illegally. To ensure this, his agency will immediately perform a data collection. “We have known where the resident comes from but now we are still collecting data. Hopefully, no problem will arise,” he added.

COVER STORY Dengue...

From page 1

Chief of the Public Health Center III North Denpasar, A.A. Ngurah Taruma Wijaya, saw that most patient of positive dengue fever belong to school children so that schools need to be encourage to do mosquito nests eradication through mosquito larvae selfmonitoring by involving school children as larva monitor.

“Peguyangan village has established larva self-monitors at the level of kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school / vocational school in the area of Peguyangan,” he said.

The larva self-monitor aims to determine the presence of larvae at least at their home and school.

Self-monitors have been communicated to all the schools, where there are 21 kindergartens as well as 23 elementary and junior high

schools in the region. While the number of larva self-monitors at Peguyangan village reaches 12 people in charge of each hamlet.

Larva self-monitors work every day from 09:00 by visiting 30 families to monitor larvae. “After the intervention, they inform the public about the prevention,” he added.

In May alone there were 25 cases of dengue fever at Peguyangan and but claiming no fatalities.

Admittedly, the handling of dengue patients at the Public Health Center III North Denpasar had no hospitalization, but complete blood (DL) test is available. “If it is positive to dengue fever and the platelets below 100, we refer to inpatient care at Wangaya Hospital,” he added.

According to the Director of the Consumer Protection Foundation (YLPK) Bali, I Putu Armaya, the Public Health Centers in Bali need to provide inpatient treat-

ment. “Government must provide inpatient care at every public health center in the district / town in Bali, although not all of them provide the services but from now on it should be considered for improving the public health center services,” he said. It is based on complaints of many consumers in Bali when they did not get room when going to hospital.

For instance, in the dengue season the number of patients sharply increases and the inpatient treatment is carried out at hospital.

“Due to many patients, the treatment room is fully occupied so that the patients are finally treated in the hospital hallways. This is inhuman and even violates the rights of consumers, the right to comfort and safety in consuming goods and services,” he explained.

Currently, of the 120 public health centers in Bali, only 37 units of them have already provided inpatient services. (kmb42)

To realize child-feasible district

Not all playrooms meet ministerial standards

Gianyar — One of the indicators for the realization of the childrenfeasible district (KLA) is the availability of space for creativity or childfeasible playroom. In each region, there have been many playrooms for children. However, not all of them comply with safety standards. This was disclosed by the Deputy of Child Growth at the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, Lenny Rosalin, in an activity in Ubud, Tuesday (May 24).

Lenny said that the government has been preparing a national policy to create a system based on children’s development. The KLA program is a pathway to the development in an effort to provide maximum protection against the survival of children. One of the targets is the availability of playroom.

She admitted to have developed the concept of a safe and comfortable playroom for children. This concept is formulated by involving researchers from 14 major universities in Indonesia. She expected that all the regions can apply, including Gianyar district.

“Gianyar is one of the districts intensively realizing the KLA. To that end, we are confident that in future Gianyar will be able to realize the feasible playroom for children. We do hope that Gianyar can maximize the ongoing moment,” she said.

In the meantime, Secretary of the Gianyar Women Empowerment and Family Planning Agency Ketut Sutha said that to realize the KLA, the development taking sides in children should be prioritized in various policies.

One of them is through the provision of child-feasible playroom by each relevant agency.

“The provision of child-feasible playroom is very much needed. Currently, according to the ministerial standards, the existing playrooms do not fully comply with the high eligibility standards specified. It needs improvement in some aspects in order to really correspond to the safety of children,” he said.

Furthermore, Sutha conveyed that the regent of Gianyar has planned to build a child-feasible playroom. The plan is expected to be realized ahead of the Children Right Convention 2016 that will take place in Gianyar. (kmb25)

Newspapers hang for sale at a stand carrying headlines about the former leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike last week, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, May 25, 2016.

Little is known about him, although he is said to be around 60 and a respected religious scholar.

According to AFP, the insurgents struggled to find a successor after the two main contenders backed out of the race. One of them was Sirajuddin Haqqani, a guerrilla commander who is regarded by US officials as the organisation’s most dangerous warlord. A Taliban spokesman said Akhunzada was appointed by “unanimous agreement” in the supreme council, with all members pledging allegiance to him.

The news came as at least 11 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack on a minibus carrying appeal court staff in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out during the morning rush hour. Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said the bomber detonated an explosives vest as he walked past the minibus.

Mr Danish said the dead included court employees and civilians,

and four other people were injured.

In a statement, the Taliban said the bombing was in “revenge for the killing of six innocent prisoners in Kabul”.

This was a reference to the hanging at a Kabul prison earlier this month of six Taliban members convicted of terrorism. The strike against Mansour, which had been authorised by President Barack Obama, took place on Saturday afternoon in a remote area of Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan.

A Pentagon spokesman said Mansour was overseeing plans to target US personnel and troops assisting and training Afghan armed forces. Pakistan has described the drone strike as a “violation” of its airspace and sovereignty.(afp) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Dengue fever prevention

Larva self-monitors formed at school

DENPASAR - Although the larva-free rate (ABJ) at Peguyangan village reaches 95.7 percent, the preventive activities such as monitoring larvae and mosquito nests eradication (PSN) are still being done. Since the adult mosquitoes carrying dengue virus

will produce offspring carrying dengue virus, the simultaneous movement of mosquito nests eradication continues to be intensified.

“We anticipate the eggs because the fogging can only eradicate the adult mosquitoes,” said the headman of Peguyangan, A.A. Gede Darma Agung Putra, recently.

Peguyangan village community is indeed

focused on 3M method (draining, closing and recycling), if there are no cases found after research by the epidemic surveillance of the health agency. If the larvae are found to exceed 5 percent or at least 5-10 containers of positive larvae, the fogging will only be implemented by the health agency.

If found any larvae, his authority will

also summon the hamlet chief of the area and instructed to further improve the sanitation. “When there is a report of simultaneous movement to us, we will use it as reference to take further action,” he said.
