Kanye West stirs up controversy with nude celebrities in ‘Famous’

LOS ANGELES - Rapper Kanye West set tongues wagging on Monday with his latest music video that features nude portrayals of high profile celebrities including pop singer Taylor Swift, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump and comedian Bill Cosby.

In this Aug. 30, 2015, file photo, Kanye West accepts the video vanguard award at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The music video for “Famous,” which premiered on E! News, featured low-resolution footage depicting 12 celebrities sleeping next to each other with West situated in the middle, nestled between Swift and his wife, reality star Kim Kardashian.

Other celebrities include former U.S. President George W. Bush, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, rapper Chris Brown, R&B singer Ray

J, transgender reality star Caitlyn Jenner, model Amber Rose and singer Rihanna, who provided vocals for the song.

E! blurred out depictions of breasts and genitals. It is not known if the portrayals are paintings or wax statues, but in some cases it appears to be the actual celebrity posing.

The video ends by pausing on the sleeping faces of Swift, Rihanna and Brown over the audio of heavy

breathing.

Representatives for West, Kardashian, Jenner, Trump and Cosby declined to comment on the video.

Representatives for the other celebrities did not immediately return requests for comment.

E! News host Jason Kennedy said “Kanye wants everyone to know this is not a video. This is an art visual.”

The imagery for “Famous” is inspired by artist Vincent Desiderio’s 2008 painting “Sleep,” which featured people in various states of undress sleeping next to each other.

Desiderio called West’s video “a tableau that was disturbingly familiar, rapturously beautiful and frighteningly uncanny,” in an essay published Monday for W Magazine.

West, known for often embarking on rambling ‘tweetstorms’ on social media, held the first screening of the “Famous” video in Los Angeles late on Friday.

The video quickly became a trending topic online over the weekend especially due to West’s complicated history with Swift.

The rapper famously interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and snatched her microphone award out of her hand. The duo buried the hatchet at last year’s MTV Video Music awards, but the truce did not last long. (rtr)

Teenagers targeted by drug syndicates

In the current era, many threats including drugs can disrupt the next generation of Indonesia.

Drug is a real threat and the number of school and college students becoming the addict to the illicit goods continues to rise. Actually the effects of taking drugs can impair mental and psychology so that disturbs the future of younger generation.

“Facts in the field indicate that children, teenagers, adults, employees and officials get involved in drugs. This threat must be quickly addressed, lest more and more young people will get in involved in drugs,” said Commander of the 163/Wira Satya Military Resort, I Nyoman Cantiasa.

Indonesian court to proceed with trial in cyanide murder

JAKARTA — An Indonesian court decided Tuesday to proceed with the trial of a former resident of Australia accused of murdering a friend by lacing her coffee with cyanide.

The 27-year-old defendant, Jessica Kumala Wongso, was charged with plotting the Jan. 6 poisoning of Wayan Mirna Salihin because of the victim’s advice that she sever her relationship with her troublesome boyfriend. The two were former classmates in Australia.

“The indictment submitted by

the state prosecutors has clearly, accurately and comprehensively explained the murder,” said presiding judge Kisworo. “Therefore the objections of the defense lawyers could not be accepted.”

Wongso’s lawyers have ridiculed the prosecution’s contention that Salihin’s advice that Wongso end her

relationship led to the murder. They said the explanation “could not be accepted by common sense.”

Salihin collapsed and died after drinking coffee at a Jakarta cafe where the two met along with another friend.

Police say laboratory tests showed the drink contained cyanide.

The case has riveted Indonesia for months and attracted attention in Australia because Wongso was a permanent resident and studied in Sydney.

Police have struggled to bring the case to trial as prosecutors deferred it several times due to insufficient evidence. It was accepted after Indonesian investigators gained additional information from the Australian Federal Police.

Wongso is charged with premeditated murder, a capital crime in Indonesia, but Indonesia has promised not impose the death penalty in exchange for the help from Australia, which opposes the death

penalty. The trial is to resume July 12 with the testimony of witnesses presented by prosecutors.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

From page 1 Based on analysis about the many teenage abusers of the illicit goods, he said that the BNN and police authority vigorously conduct raids and arrests.

As a result, the markets or customers drug dealers reduced.

“However, the dealers never give up. They even target children and teenagers to develop their illegal business. On that account, their goods remain in demand,” he said.

In the end, this former deputy assistant of intelligence of general commander of the special force command (Kopassus) further added that other than commercial factor, there may be scenarios by the outsiders to destroy this nation. If the people of Indonesia are foolish, they will easily go in to destroy this nation.

The Indonesian Military (TNI) has already been addressing to this condition by deploying non-commissioned officer making campaign from door to door. In addition, the commander also disseminated information on the

drug hazards with the BNN in each region. Preventive efforts against drug within the circle of the TNI are also aggressively done, including through a urine test.

“We continue disseminating in the face of drug threats that can ruin this nation. We are serving today and the stakeholders will definitely old and die. Our successor is the younger generation. If they are not ready due to drugs, it means that we do not have people being ready to run this nation,” said this military academy graduate in 1990.

Chief of the BNNP Bali, I Putu Gede Suastawa, revealed that to save teens from drug hazards, his agency synergized with the Bali Education Agency to realize the prevention, eradication, drug abuse and trafficking (P4GN) integrated curriculum for junior high, high school and vocational school students. Subject on drug for junior high school will be inserted into religion, civics, Indonesian, social sciences and physical health education. As for high school and vocational school, it will be inserted into the five subjects above

and history.

“This is our effort to carry out prevention ranging from the upstream namely school curriculum. We want to do the prevention early, so that students can understand the hazards of drugs,” he said.

He hoped that school holiday can be filled with extra-curricular activities that contain coaching, mental, physical and spiritual aspect.

Customary village also has to share

with, for example, by holding a short ashram education by utilizing village meeting hall.

In the meantime, Director of Bali Police Drug Investigation, Franky Harianto, promised to hunt down and arrest the drug dealers in Bali.

As a new officer, he requested the support of Balinese people. He promised to devote whole-heartedly in keeping the Island of the Gods from the drug, at least by reducing the num-

The police inspect the indentity of the people enreting Bali through Padang Bai Harbor in Karangasem.

The Head of the Karangasem Population and Civil Registry Office, Wayan Sumitha, admitted in Karangasem that the number of migrants in Karangasem is quite high. His agency routinely conducts a raid against migrants. The raid is conducted in eight subdistricts.

He recognized that many migrants stay in Kubu. They mainly work in quarrying area and stay at boarding house. When conducting a raid last April at Sukadana village, the office encountered 186 people. They did not have identity card. Some were bringing identity card issued in Java but has expired.

“All the migrants having not equipped themselves with identity card were asked to submit a temporary residence card. Ultimately they got temporary residence card. The card was issued based on the guarantee given by the owner of quarrying business or owner of their boarding house,” said Sumitha.

Many other migrants were also found at Amed and Kecicang. At Amed they are working in tourism sector or shrimp ponds, while at Kecicang and neighborhood of Amlapura town such as Bangras they are generally working as scavengers.

Related to next homecoming period, added Sumitha, his agency will increasingly intensify the inspection against identity card at Padangbai Harbor. All this time, he said, the inspection of identity card of migrants is still regularly performed for 24 hours, with three officer shifts.

‘Avatar’ mobile game landing ahead of film sequels

Ding Ting/Xinhua via AP

In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, people in panda costumes pose in front of a Chengdu Airlines ARJ21-700 plane before its first commercial flight at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu in southwestern China’s Sichuan Province Tuesday, June 28, 2016.

First made-inChina jetliner makes debut commercial flight

SHANGHAI — The first regional jet produced in China’s initiative to compete in the commercial aircraft market made its debut flight Tuesday carrying 70 passengers.

The ARJ21-700 jet is one of a series of initiatives launched by the ruling Communist Party to transform China from the world’s low-cost factory into a creator of profitable technology in aviation, clean energy and other fields.

The plane operated by Chengdu Airlines took its passengers from the western city of Chengdu to Shanghai in two hours.

China is one of the biggest aviation markets but relies on foreignmade aircraft. Beijing wants to capture more of those sales. Its major airlines are state-owned,

which gives the ruling party a captive pool of potential customers that can be ordered to buy Chinesemade aircraft.

The ARJ21 — or Asian Regional Jet for the 21st Century — is intended to make its state-owned manufacturer, Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China, a competitor to Bombardier Inc. of Canada and Brazil’s Embraer SA. “The first flight of the ARJ21 marks the beginning of commercial, or passenger, operations for the ARJ21 and signifies the first time a domestically made regional jet has been used by a Chinese air-

line,” said the COMAC chairman, Jin Zhuanglong.

The ARJ21 initiative was launched in 2002. It was scheduled to deliver its first plane in 2007 but that was pushed back due to technical problems.

A full-size jetliner under development by another stateowned company, the C919, is aimed at competing with Boeing Co. and Airbus. After delays blamed on manufacturing problems, the C919 is due to fly this year and enter service in about 2019.

Boeing forecasts China’s total demand for civilian jetliners over the next two decades at 5,580 planes worth a total of $780 billion. (ap)

LOS ANGELES — Before moviegoers return to Pandora, they’ll be able visit the exotic alien world from “Avatar” on their smartphones.

Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox have enlisted game studio Kabam to develop an “Avatar” mobile game for release ahead of the next four film sequels.

“The idea is to extend the world beyond the big screen and create an experience that will be true to what James Cameron did in making the most technologically advanced film of its time,” said Kabam COO Kent Wakeford. “That’s what we want to do with this game.”

The multiplayer strategy game is set for release in 2018 before the second “Avatar” film hits theaters. Wakeford said Kabam plans to update the game as “Avatar” sequels unfurl every other year through 2023.

Kabam previously released mobile games based on such franchises as “Star Wars,” Marvel and “Fast & Furious.” Wakeford said the budget to produce the “Avatar” game will be sustainably more than $14 million, the average cost of Kabam’s previous titles.

The original 2009 film centered on the conflict between the humanled Resources Development Administration and the blue-skinned alien race Na’vi of Pandora. The film sequels will explore Pandora’s other environments and cultures.

“For us, to be able to come out ahead of the movie and start to introduce a whole new set of characters and experiences when the movie releases and then again

and again and again as the new films roll out, it’ll allow us to create a really engaging game,” said Wakeford.

The game won’t only rely on the first movie for inspiration. For the past year, the developers at Kabam have been collaborating with artists and others working on the next “Avatar” installments at Lightstorm.

“There might be a creature or RDA aircraft that was not in the first movie that we designed for the sequels that’s part of the texture of the films,” said “Avatar” producer and Lightstorm COO Jon Landau.

“If it doesn’t reveal a story point from the films, why not share that with Kabam and allow them to use it in that space?”

The four sequels are slated to be simultaneously filmed. Landau said screenwriters are close to finishing their scripts and filming with the principal cast, which includes Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, is set to begin in early 2017.

Landau said the mobile game’s plot will be separate from the “Avatar” films and will allow players to align together and make decisions that will affect the narrative.

“I think science fiction can be a great metaphor for the world in which we live,” said Landau. “As people play this game, I want them to have choices, just like they have in life. The choices you make in a game create different experiences for you — some for the better, some for the worse. It’s about engaging people in this world but never losing sight of the ethos of ‘Avatar.’” (ap)

Tree house becomes an icon of Seribu Island

NUSA PENIDA - Nusa Penida is not only famous for its spiritual tourism. However, the beauty and exoticism of its beaches has become the main attraction for local and foreign travelers. One of them is the Seribu Island Beach. It sits in line with Atuh Beach, precisely at Pelilit hamlet, Pejukutan. It is named Seribu Island Beach by local people because amid the beach sit several small islands without inhabitants. admitted that all this time she can only see the beauty of the Seribu

Island Beach and the tree house icon in social media.

“Though located far away, it does not matter. More importantly, I can see the small islands on the beach in person. Besides, I can take pictures at the top of the tree house and look at the vast ocean,” she said while delightfully seeing the exotic view, Sunday (16/6). (kmb)

In addition, towering cliffs also become dazzling attraction embellished with the overlay of white sand on the seashores. However, travelers cannot go down to enjoy the white sand view directly because of the access is quite steep and does not allow people to pass.

Nevertheless, travelers do not have to feel disappointed because, recently a tree house has been built on the Seribu Island Beach having become the icon on the beach.

Besides, a pavilion has also been established on the top of the cliff.

From this pavilion, travelers can enjoy the wide expanse of beautiful and blue ocean directly facing the Lombok Island.

To achieve this Seribu Island Beach, travelers will take about 1.5 hours from the Nusa Penida harbor (roro harbor) toward the east. Admission ticket is relatively inexpensive where local visitor is charged at IDR 5,000 per person, while foreign travelers at IDR 20,000.

It is named Seribu Island Beach by local people because amid the beach sit several small islands without inhabitants.

MANGUPURA - Waste becomes a serious problem faced by the government of Badung due to lack of public awareness of environmental sanitation. This condition is reflected in the emergence of many illegal landfills in the region.

For instance, the illegal landfill is found in the area of mangrove conservation and the area of Mengwi terminal. Lately, waste problem also appears at the border of Denpasar and Badung. Moreover, residents highlighted the condition of illegal landfills on Jalan Bajataki, Kerobokan Kaja, North Kuta whose waste is not transported for months and results in unpleasant sights.

“Repeatedly I pass through the Jalan Bajataki where piles of waste

are found everywhere. Moreover, during rainy season they exude stenches,” said Eka Adi, a motorist passing through at the road section, Monday (Jun. 27).

He deplored that the Badung district having the motto ‘clean, beautiful and blooming’ has been tarnished by numerous illegal landfills at a number of places. “I do hope that relevant agencies having the responsibility for handling this can prohibit people from throwing waste on the road. It’s a pity and because of the waste the reputation of Badung is tarnished,” he said.

Headman of Kerobokan Kaja, Made Adnyana, when confirmed last Monday justified the condition of waste on Jalan Bajataki. He said to have repeatedly underlined that

the residents may not to litter on the road, but they are stubborn without complying with the appeal.

“We find it difficult to get information who has the vacant land currently taken advantage as illegal landfill. Later on, we will be coordinating with the hamlet chief of Batuculung to make a signpost or banner containing a ban of throwing waste in the area,” he said.

He mentioned that the waste polluting the environment is disposed at night so as not to be monitored by village authority. “If knowing the owner of the land taken advantage as illegal landfill, it will be easy for us to coordinate and cooperate with so that he will also prohibit people from throwing waste on the land,” he concluded.

Prison does not guarantee drug addicts to repent DENPASAR - Drug circulation and abuse has been in alarming level, including in Bali. Prisons and rehabilitation do not guarantee people getting involved in the vortex of drugs to repent. Therefore, early prevention must continue to be done.

“Drug abuse throughout 2015 involved the population aged 13 to 49 years,” said the Head of the Bali narcotics agency (BNNP Bali), I Putu Gede Suastawa, after the signature of MoU between the BNNP Bali and Bali Education Agency related to the implementation of the integrated curriculum as well as the commemoration of the international day against drug abuse (HANI) 2016, Sunday (Jun. 26).

When commemorating the HANI, it was announced that 382 drug abusers have been caught by the BNNP and Bali Police with the ranks, while the number of drug prisoners in jail reached 1,500 people. “Prison actually does not guarantee that a person can change.

On that account, we more aggressively attempt the prevention through dissemination at schools, customary villages, communities, organizations and artists. Come together to work and evaluate for better results,” he said.

With the implementation of the curriculum, Suastawa hoped that the knowledge about the drug hazards among students can be made from an early age. In addition, the students will also be invited to the BNNP, Bali Police and district police to know in person about the impacts caused by drug abuse.

In the meantime, the Head of the Bali Education Agency, Tia Kusuma Wardhani, asserted that based on the coordination with the district/municipal government, the anti-drug curriculum is inserted into five lessons for junior high and high school/vocational school, namely religion, social studies, Indonesian, civics and physical health education. “Seeing the increasingly alarming drug abuse, it is not limited to the five lessons only. If there is spare time, teachers will deliver the anti-drug lesson for 15 minutes,” said Tia. In addition to launching the anti-drug curriculum, the event was also filled in with the reward to organizations and individuals including two artists namely Cedil and Dadong Rerod considered to have been consent to disseminate the drug hazards in the community.

ITDC introduce Mandalika Resort in BBTF’s farewell party

NUSA DUA - Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) 2016 that held from 23rd June until 26th June, 2016 become tourism event that always awaited by the tourism industry. The organizers believe the transaction in BBTF reached more than IDR6.8 trillion.

Director of ITDC, Abdulbar M Mansoer, said Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) very proud to host the 2016 BBTF which lasted for three days. In his speech he hoped the participants could have had a great experience during several days stay in Nusa Dua. He expressed his pride on managing ITDC that now reached the age of 41 years and becomes a true world-class destination. “Nusa Dua is one of the best places in Indonesia and in the region as well with more than 5,000 hotel rooms, a variety of facilities and a very impressive of Bali Nusa Dua Convention Centre (BNDCC) where we were lucky to work with all our partners here,”

stated Mansoer during his speech in farewell party that held on Saturday.

He also disclosed that famous brands like Royal Tulip, Pullman, and Club Med will immediately join the ITDC. The ground breaking of these brands will held in 6 to 12 months. At least there will be 1,500-room facilities at the upcoming 2018/2019 year. “We will work on the MICE market and plan build a convention center that can accommodate between 5,000-7,000 delegates,” he explained.

On his speech, he also took the opportunity to introduce and invite participants of BBTF to visit Mandalika Lombok. ”We also hope to

welcome you to Mandalika Resort, our new destination in South Lombok. I believe you have heard a lot about Mandalika and Lombok over the last few days,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chairman of organizing of BBTF 2016, I Ketut Ardana, said that the event managed to bring together 168 sellers from various regions in Indonesia such as Toraja, Flores, Wakatobi, Central Java, East Kalimantan, and others. While there were 222 buyers coming from 30 countries.

It is estimated that the value of transactions during BBTF reached IDR6.8 trillion.

“BBTF 2016 rated better than the previous BBTF, where the sellers assess this year more buyers came as evidenced from meetings scheduled with buyers. Platinum buyers also increased this year. In 2015, we have 17 platinum buyers, whereas this year we have 77 buyers,” he said. (kmb18)

French unions lead labour law protest before meeting PM

PARIS - French riot police deployed in Paris on Tuesday as unions rallied supporters ahead of another street protest against government plans to ease protective labour laws.

The march is the latest in President Francois Hollande’s four-month confrontation with the unions which has divided the governing Socialists and dragged the unpopular leader’s ratings down to new lows 10 months before a presidential election.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls will meet leaders of the hardline CGT and Force Ouvriere (FO) unions on Wednesday. They say it is time the government listened to their demands that core elements of the labour bill the proposes making it easier to hire and fire workers be scrapped.

The Socialist government says the reforms are key to hauling down an unemployment rate stuck at about 10 percent, attracting new

investment and spurring growth.

“If the government is not going to give ground it will be a meeting for nothing,” said FO leader JeanClaude Mailly.

“There’s no point in inviting us to meet if it’s just to tell is ‘get on your way, nothing’s going to change’.”

The government came under fire after it banned a march last Thursday, citing security risks, and then said the demonstration could go ahead along a revised route.

Tuesday’s protest starts at 2 p.m. (1200 GMT) and takes a route prohibited last week, when protesters were limited to a far more restricted space for a demonstration that took place without major violence.

About 2,500 riot police will deploy in an operation to avert the violence that has erupted at some earlier protests, often involving masked youths on the fringes of crowds. Metal fences were erected along the planned route and anyone attempting to shield their faces with clothing or bring in weapons will be arrested on the spot, police said.

The government appears keen to quell tensions with the unions leading the protests which appear to be running out of steam even if French voters still broadly oppose the reforms to liberalise some of the strictest labour laws in the euro zone.

Among the most contentious clauses is Article 2 of the bill which hands companies more power to negotiate pay and working conditions and could weaken the influence of trade unions in the work place. (rtr)

TOKYO - A baby lies in a metal-bar cot drinking from a bottle perched on his pillow in a Tokyo orphanage. There’s no one to hold and feed him or offer words of comfort.

The director of the institution, nurses scurrying busily around him, says he would like extra time and staff to pay more attention to the 70 babies and toddlers under his care, but it’s not going to happen.

“I wish we could hold them in our arms, one by one,” says Yoshio Imada. “Some people call this abuse. It’s a difficult situation.”

Japan last month passed a bill overhauling its 70-year-old Child Welfare Law, recognising a child’s right to grow up in a family setting. It is short on specific, immediate measures, but experts say it’s a first step to making institutions a last resort, rather than the default position.

A staggering 85 percent of the 40,000 children who can’t live with their parents in Japan are institutionalised, by far the highest ratio among rich countries and prompting repeated warnings from the United Nations. Even with the revised law, Japan’s goal isn’t lofty: familybased care for a third of those children by 2029.

The statistics raise the question: where can foster parents be found for tens of thousands of children in need?

“We do the best we can but it’s obvious that a one-on-one relationship that foster parents provide is better,” says Kazumitsu Tsuru, who heads another infant institution in Tokyo.

“All children need someone who is dedicated only to them.”

A major hindrance is a lack of awareness about the fostering system - there are just 10,200 registered foster families, while adoptions are even rarer, at 544 last year. And in a society that treasures uniformity and blood ties, fostered or adopted children are often stigmatised.

A rise in reports of child abuse has also proved a stumbling block.

Welfare workers are too busy taking children out of immediate harm.

Placing them in institutions is faster than finding a foster family.

Too busy with the next victim, welfare workers also have little time to follow up with those children, leaving them to languish for years. (rtr)

Empty houses and jobless maids: Indonesia’s expat exodus gathers pace

5

JAKARTA - Foreign workers are leaving Indonesia at an increasing rate due to the slump in commodity prices that has forced resource companies to slash jobs at a time when the government has also introduced tighter regulations on expatriates in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 30, 2015 file photo, Mongolian children play near a statue of a Mongolian warrior on horseback in front of the Mongolian Parliament House in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Sluggish economy casts shadow over Mongolians elections

ULAANBAATAR — Mongolians vote in parliamentary elections Wednesday with sentiment weighed by a sharp downturn in the landlocked Asian nation’s crucial mining sector, rising unemployment and political disillusionment.

The Democratic Party could lose its majority in parliament, known as the State Great Khural, to the opposition Mongolian People’s Party a year ahead of the 2017 presidential election. But with no major policy offerings on the table and an economy pummeled by the global slump in commodity prices, it’s unclear what options Mongolia has for reviving its fortunes.

The parliamentary elections are the seventh since the country made a peaceful transition to democracy in 1990. Yet disillusionment with the political process in the country — recently dubbed “an oasis of democracy” by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry — is growing among younger voters, whose turnout has steadily declined in recent years.

Amgalan Sukh-Ochir, 30, who works in marketing, said he plans to boycott the elections.

“In the last elections when the DP made all these great promises for prospering, I decided to support them, but look where we are now. I don’t think they’ve achieved much,” he said.

Mongolia’s mining- and animal herding-dependent economy has been dragged down by weak domestic demand and a sharp decline in exports, impoverishing thousands of former herders who had moved to its few cities looking for jobs. Economic growth has slipped from 17.5 percent in 2011 to just 2.3 percent last year in the resource-rich nation of 3 million people, one-fifth of whom live in

poverty.

Both the ruling Democratic Party and its main rival have campaigned on the promise of more jobs.

“The main issue is, No. 1, to revive the economy,” said Bulgantuya Khurelbaatar, secretary of the opposition Mongolian People’s Party. She said the party aims to build 100 factories in 21 provinces that would create about 40,000 new jobs, though she didn’t say how. It’s unclear what measures or resources are available to stimulate the flagging economy.

Coal, copper and other mineral resources make up 94 percent of Mongolia’s exports. But with demand in China weakening as its economy cools, Mongolia’s own growth is forecast to fall below 1 percent this year.

Foreign investment in the country has slowed to a trickle, though mining giant Rio Tinto announced in May the launch of the next stage

of a multibillion-dollar gold and copper mine. Still, critics of government agreements with mining companies complain that too little of Mongolia’s mineral wealth benefits the general public.

Some observers see recent changes to the electoral process as handicapping smaller parties and female candidates.

“They have closed some space for smaller political parties, as majoritarian systems do tend to benefit two main political parties,” said Ashleigh Whelan, country director for the International Republican Institute, a U.S.-based group with the stated aim of promoting democracy globally.

“This can reduce the opportunity for lesser-known candidates, new candidates, youth, women and those candidates who may not be a guarantee in terms of winning,” Whelan said. Her organization does not expect either party to secure an

overwhelming majority.

In its latest National Human Development Report, the United Nations Development Program found that only about 45 percent of Mongolians aged 18-34 have voted in recent elections, compared to an overall turnout of 65 percent in 2012.

Skepticism has grown after the ruling party recently offered citizens 300,000 tugriks ($155) to sell 30 percent of their promised shares in the state-owned coal mine, Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi. So far 1.2 million of 1.65 million shareholders have applied to sell their shares to the government.

“I think it’s illegal to tell you the truth,” said Khurelbaatar of the opposition party. “This is right before elections . it seems to all political parties that they’re actually trying to buy off votes.” The Democratic Party did not respond to requests for comment.(ap)

The number of temporary residential permits issued to foreigners, including renewals, has fallen for the past few years to 171,944 in 2015 from 194,162 in 2013. In the first five months of this year, there were 72,399 issued but many of those who provide services to expats say they expect a further drop over the whole of 2016 as they are seeing very few new arrivals.

As a result, rents on upmarket homes in Jakarta have plummeted and enrolment at international schools has fallen.

“The expat drought has been really noticeable in 2016,” said Deborah Minicola, a Jakarta-based technical advisor at international relocation company Allied Pickfords.

“This time the expat community has been hit from so many angles.”

The outflow is likely to dent higher-end consumption and drive up unemployment, economists say, as big-spending expats tend to hire multiple workers ranging from housemaids and drivers to gardeners and bodyguards. Some workers who recently lost their jobs are finding it difficult to get new employment.

Christiana Ambar Putriani is one example.

She has been looking for a job as a part-time housekeeper in Jakarta after her former bosses left for South America a few weeks ago. She hopes to work for an expat family again as foreigners tend to pay higher wages but it is getting tougher to find such jobs, she says.

The Australian Independent School in Balikpapan, a city in Indonesia’s resourcedependent province of East Kalimantan, expects a 36 percent reduction in its student body this year, said human resources officer Ni Ketut Novia. Three international schools in the city have shut over the past 2-3 years due to the mass layoffs at mining contractors and a drastic cut in expat allowances, she said.

The expat exodus will also create skill shortages that could hold the country back when the commodity downturn is reversed.

Low resource prices and a slowdown in demand from China, one of Indonesia’s top export markets, have reduced the incentive for exploration or production in the oil and gas and mining sectors, forcing companies to hack back on staff costs.

The mining, oil and gas and geothermal sectors accounted for 7.62 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product in 2015, down from 11.81 percent in 2011. Drilling contractors and exploration site surveyors are among the worst-hit, industry experts say.

Oil and gas companies operating in the country include Chevron Corp, Total SA and Exxon Mobil Corp . Total’s Indonesia spokesman said the company has “manpower

Picture taken June 23, 2016. planning which is in line with our evolution of activities.” Chevron, which is selling assets in Asia including some in Indonesia, declined to comment. Exxon also did not comment.

POLICY CONFUSION A PwC survey of 53 firms in the oil and gas sector, released in May, found that almost three-quarters of respondents expected a smaller expat workforce in future, partly because of tighter controls on hiring foreigners.

Indonesia opened up dozens of business sectors recently to foreign investors in a move described by President Joko Widodo as a “Big Bang” liberalization of the economy.

Yet business groups say there are mixed signals from the government, which imposes restrictions apparently under pressure from protectionist voices around the president.

The manpower ministry is encouraging companies to hire more Indonesian workers and is tightening its scrutiny of the work permit applications from foreigners, said Ratna Agustina, a director at a firm that provides services to expats.

The government also sets an age ceiling of 55 years for foreigners employed by oil and gas contractors, downstream businesses and

supporting service providers - with certain exemptions for top executives or those with skills deemed crucial.

“If they are above 55, the assumption is that many have ailments and are less productive,” said Taslim Yunus, a spokesman for the energy regulator.

Adding to the regulatory uncertainty, the government last year introduced requirements for foreigners to be proficient in Indonesian and for companies to hire 10 locals for every expat, only to backtrack less than 12 months later after businesses raised strong protests.

The manpower ministry did not respond to requests for comment. The expat exodus hasn’t hit the rest of the region as hard.

In neighboring Singapore, the number of foreign professionals, managers and executives earning at least S$3,300 ($2,500) a month actually rose 5 percent to 187,900 as of December 2015 from a year earlier, the latest official data show. (http://bit.ly/28VaKsT) Banks are hiring more compliance professionals in the city-state, but many condominium units have been left empty and office vacancy rates are near their highest level in almost a decade, partly due to the departure of expats from the energy and commodities sector, property agents say.

EMPTY HOUSES The gloom is evident on the streets of Kemang, a ritzy neighborhood in south Jakarta where opulent homes are now festooned with “for-rent” signs.

The rental price of one house there, with a garden and swimming pool, has fallen by a third to $3,000 per month, says property broker Julizar. “I’ve been trying to market this house for six months but there has been no taker.”

A British national who provides training for energy executives in Indonesia has been hit by a 60 percent decline in revenue over the past 18 months. This slump, he says, is the most pronounced throughout his 20 years in the industry. He declined to be named, citing company policy.

The long-term impact of the restrictions in hiring foreign workers will be “an exacerbation of an existing acute skills shortage”, said Lin Neumann, managing director of the American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia.

Widodo has taken steps to move the economy away from its dependence on commodity exports and build a manufacturing base, but Neumann said that isn’t enough to offset the shrinkage in mining and oil and gas.(rtr)

Nigel Farage, the leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, holds the British flag as he attends a plenary session at the European Parliament on the outcome of the “Brexit” in Brussels, Belgium, June 28, 2016.

Europe presses Britain for quick exit to limit global fallout

LONDON - Britain faced angry calls from other European leaders to act quickly to resolve the political and economic chaos unleashed by its vote to leave the European Union which the IMF said could put pressure on global growth.

Financial markets recovered slightly on Tuesday after the result wiped a record $3 trillion off global shares and sterling fell to its lowest level in 31 years, but trading was volatile and policymakers vowed to take all necessary measures to protect their economies.

British finance minister George Osborne, whose attempt to calm markets fell on deaf ears on Monday, said he would have to cut spending and raise taxes to secure fiscal stability after a third credit ratings agency downgraded the country’s debt.

Firms have announced hiring freezes and possible job cuts, dashing voters’ hopes the economy

would thrive outside the EU. European countries are particularly worried about the impact on the rest of the European Union of the uncertainty created

by Britain’s vote to leave, with little idea of when, or even if, the country will formally declare it is quitting.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told the European Parliament he would be urging British Prime Minister David Cameron to “clarify as soon as possible” the British position, but did not expect him to launch the two-year withdrawal process “today, or tomorrow morning”.

“We cannot be embroiled in lasting uncertainty,” he said in a speech which he interrupted to ask British lawmakers who campaigned to leave the EU why they were there.

Cameron, who resigned after it became clear he had failed in his efforts to persuade the country to stay in the EU in the referendum, which he called, says he will leave it to his successor to formally declare Britain’s exit.

His party says it aims to choose a new leader by early September, but those who campaigned for Britain’s leave vote have made clear they hope to negotiate a new deal for the country with Europe before triggering the formal exit process.

European leaders have said that is not an option.

“No notification, no negotiation,” Juncker said. (rtr)

Turkey, Israel sign deal to normalise ties after six years

ANKARA - Turkey and Israel signed a deal on Tuesday to restore ties after a six-year rift, formalising an agreement which U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said sent a “hopeful signal” for regional stability.

The accord, announced on Monday by the two countries’ prime ministers, was a rare rapprochement in the divided Middle East, driven by the prospect of lucrative Mediterranean gas deals as well as mutual fears over growing security risks.

It was formally signed on Tuesday by Turkey’s Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu in Ankara and Israel’s Foreign Ministry Director General Dore Gold in Jerusalem, officials said.

Relations between Israel and what was once its principal Muslim ally crumbled after Israeli marines stormed an activist ship in May 2010 to enforce a naval blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and killed 10 Turks on board.

Under the deal, the naval blockade of Gaza, which Ankara had wanted lifted, remains in force, although humanitarian aid can continue to be transferred to Gaza

via Israeli ports.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said late on Monday the two countries might appoint ambassadors “in a week or two.”

Israel, which had already offered its apologies for the 2010 raid on the Mavi Marmara activist ship, agreed to pay out $20 million to the bereaved and injured. The deal requires Turkey pass legislation indemnifying Israeli soldiers.

“This is an important and hopeful signal for the stability of the region,” Ban said at a meeting with Israel’s president in Jerusalem on Monday.

Visiting a U.N.-run school and a Qatari-built rehabilitation hospital in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, he also called for an end to the Israeli blockade.

“The closure of Gaza suffocates its people, stifles its economy and impedes reconstruction efforts.

It is a collective punishment for which there must accountability,” Ban said.

Israel says the Gaza blockade is needed to curb arms smuggling

by Hamas, an Islamist group that last fought a war with Israel in 2014. (rtr)

Fit-again Federer gets into his stride

LONDON - For the Roger Federer fans on Centre Court and the legions watching on televisions around the world it was a reassuring sight as the Swiss swept past Argentina’s Guido Pella into the second round of Wimbledon on Monday.

Knee surgery and a nagging back injury had restricted the 17-times grand slam champion to 22 matches this season and his no-show at the recent French Open ended a run of 65 consecutive major appearances. Talk of time finally catching up with Federer has been doing the rounds. So all eyes were on the 34-year-old Swiss great as he stepped onto Centre Court where he had held the trophy aloft on seven occasions.

But Federer began his 18th consecutive Wimbledon campaign with a tidy 7-6(5) 7-6(3) 6-3 victory that, while never spectacular, was relatively comfortable.

He offered up not a single break point to the 51stranked Pella, and while he converted only one of the nine that came his way, he found an extra gear when required. Federer’s only real moment of alarm came at 5-6, 0-30 in the second set. But he quickly killed the danger and waltzed through the tiebreak to take a two-set lead. With light fading he made light work of the third set.

Federer’s next appointment will be with British qualifier Marcus Willis, ranked 772nd in the world, on Wednesday.

“It’s a great, great story and I’m very, very excited to be playing him actually. It’s the best story in tennis for a while,” Federer told reporters when asked about playing Willis, a tennis coach who survived six rounds of qualifying.

“It’s going to be a great atmosphere.”

While Federer was more than happy for Willis to take the spotlight after his win over Ricardas Berankis, he was more concerned with his own form and fitness after arriving at Wimbledon without a title in the first six months of the season for the first time since 2000. (rtr)

Ledecky delivers win but no world record

OMAHA - Katie Ledecky delivered everything but the world record everyone had expected, storming to victory in the women’s 400 metres freestyle at the U.S. Olympic

swim trials on Monday and securing her ticket to the Rio Games.

The dominant figure in women’s swimming, Ledecky is a threat to smash a record

Katie Ledecky reacts after the women’s freestyle 400m finals in the U.S. Olympic swimming team trials at CenturyLink Center.

almost every time she dives into a pool and she clearly had her sight set on lowering her own mark in the 400 free.

But the 19-year-old faded badly over the final 200, settling for the third fastest time ever in the event of three minutes, 58.98 seconds.

“I think the last 150 I just kept telling myself, Rio, Rio, Rio, just come on,” said Ledecky. “I just tried to keep myself fired up on that and didn’t really care what the time was.

“I haven’t been 3:58 since 2014 and I’m happy how I swam it.

“I know there are improvements we can make off of it.”

Ledecky, who came into the final having registered eight of the top 10 swims in the event, had looked poised to demolish her own mark of 3:58.37 when she blazed through the opening 200 metres more than two seconds under world record pace.

But the world champion had gone out too fast. Losing time at each split in the final 200, Ledecky paid the price for her searing early pace. She was out of gas and even a delirious soldout crowd of 14,000 at the CenturyLink Center could not lift her to a new record.

Near the end, Ledecky was pushed by Leah Smith, who became the fourth fastest swimmer ever in the event when she touched in 4:00.65.

Entered in every freestyle event from the 50 to the 800 in Omaha, Ledecky will have many more chances at world records.

“I have the rest of the week ahead of me with a lot of big swims,” she said. “I know I need to be fast the rest of the week so I am excited about heading to Rio and hopefully I can tack on a few more events.”

But as always her focus will be on the races in which she has few rivals, the 200, 400 and 800 metres.

She owns the top times in the world in each event this year, and is seeking to qualify in all three and then chase a rare triple gold sweep at the Rio Olympics.

In other finals, Kelsi Worrell won the 100 metres butterfly, charging past 2012 Olympic champion and former world record holder Dana Vollmer to qualify for Rio. Worrell, however, needed the second fastest time of the year to qualify for her first Olympic team, clocking 56.48 while Vollmer, returning to competition after having a baby, touched in 57.21.

Iceland players celebrate at the end of the game

England out of Euro 2016, beaten by Iceland

NICE — After voting to leave the European Union last week, the English left the soccer European Championship in similarly surprising fashion on Monday in what will go down as their most embarrassing loss in a generation.

Iceland, whose population of 330,000 makes it the smallest nation ever to compete at the tournament, pulled off one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history by beating England 2-1 in the round of 16.

“This is probably going to be a day that we will talk about for the rest of our lives,” said Iceland joint-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, who runs a dentist surgery in his spare time.

Iceland’s players danced and sang in front of their joyous fans after earning the biggest victory in their small nation’s history. Next up is an even bigger challenge — host nation France on Sunday — but nothing may top beating England, a team Iceland always used to support in major tournaments.

As for England, the defeat meant more humiliation on the big stage and surely another inquest into why a team of supposedly talented players failed again.

David Cameron stepped down as British Prime Minister after the result of last week’s referendum that unsettled the country and the whole of Europe. England coach Roy Hodgson did the same after overseeing yet another humiliating campaign in a major tournament.

“Now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of

players,” Hodgson said. “They have been fantastic.”

The England fans who jeered the team off the field at halftime and fulltime at the Stade de Nice will likely have a different opinion. This unexpected result for the country that invented the game came two years after England exited the World Cup in disgrace at the group stage.

It all started so well on the French Riviera for England, with captain Wayne Rooney putting the team ahead from the penalty spot in the fourth minute after Raheem Sterling was clipped by Hannes Halldorsson as he prodded the ball past the goalkeeper.

Crucially, Iceland struck back within two minutes through Ragnar Sigurdsson, who volleyed in at the far post after Kari Arnason’s flick-on from a long throw.

It is the third time Iceland has scored a goal from a long-throw routine this tournament.

Kolbeinn Sigthorsson then took advantage of more slack defending by England, getting time and space to shoot from just inside the area after intricate build-up play. England goalkeeper Joe Hart got a hand to the effort but the ball squirmed over the line.

Iceland was relatively untroubled in the second half as England’s passing and touch deserted its team of supposed

Premier League stars, with Rooney especially culpable. The catcalls from England supporters were at their loudest when Harry Kane miscontrolled a pass in the last minutes.

England’s players slumped to the ground in front of their jeering fans after the final whistle, crestfallen and their heads in their hands.

For a soccer nation of England’s standing, its record in major tournaments is woeful. The English have still never won a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts and haven’t won a match beyond the group stage of a major tournament since 2006.

This defeat will probably go down as England’s biggest humiliation since losing 1-0 to the United States in 1950 World Cup. “It’s embarrassing for us,” Rooney said. “We know we’re a better team. You can’t explain it.” Iceland’s reaction at the final whistle was so different.

Its squad and backroom staff raced onto the field in pure joy to celebrate with the team. Iceland captain Aron Gunnarrsson, who plays for Cardiff in the second tier of English football, tore off his shirt off and ran over to fans, leading his teammates in dancing and singing.

Almost 3,000 kilometers away, in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, an estimated 10,000 people watched the match on a giant screen downtown in daylight.

Fireworks erupted and residents danced on their balconies.

The ease with which Iceland saw

out the game was surprising, another ignominy for an England side t h a t finished the match with four strikers on the field but didn’t seriously test Halldorsson.

Hodgson harbored hopes of staying on after Euro 2016.

After this exit and England’s group-stage elimination from the last Wo r l d C u p without winning a game, his legacy will be seriously tarnished.

SAINT-DENIS — Spain’s era of dominance at the European Championship came to an end Monday when Italy beat the twotime defending champion 2-0 in the round of 16. Italy deserved its victory and was impressive from the start at Stade de France, stifling Spain’s attacking intent and creating several scoring opportunities with its slick interplay.

The victory meant Italy avoided a third consecutive elimination at the European Championship to Spain, and secure a quarterfinal clash against another old foe, Germany. That side of the draw also includes France and Iceland — the latter the surprise team of the tournament following its shock 2-1 victory over England on Monday.

“It was definitely a great performance,” Italy coach Antonio Conte said. “They did something fantastic tonight. They are great men and wonderful footballers.”

Giorgio Chiellini, a member of Italy’s resilient defense, put his team ahead in the 33rd minute, when he poked the ball across the line after Spain goalkeeper David de Gea couldn’t hold on to a free kick by Eder.

“There were several games we needed to take revenge for,” said Chiellini, one of four Italians who lost to Spain the last two times. “But we also wanted and deserved this victory.”

In the second half, Spain showed more menace and

came close to equalizing on a couple of occasions. Sergio Ramos nearly scored with a header from close range in the team’s first clear chance of the game, and Buffon had to make a difficult save on a powerful shot by Andres Iniesta in the 76th minute.

Buffon also made another impressive save in the 90th minute when he managed to get down and save Gerard Pique’s close-range strike.

“We waited too long before killing the game off,” Chiellini said. “We deserved to finish it earlier, and we suffered in the last 15 minutes.”

As Spain swept forward in search of the elusive equalizer, Italy counterattacked to put the match beyond doubt. Graziano Pelle sealed the victory — Italy’s first competitive triumph over Spain since the 1994 World Cup — with his second goal of the tournament after a cross by Matteo Darmian in second-half injury time.

“We have to accept the loss and move forward. It wasn’t meant to be,” Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque said. “In sport sometimes the opponent is better but it’s not because we haven’t played without enough hunger.”

It was Italy’s first win over La Roja at the European Championship since it was defeated comprehensively by the Spaniards 4-0 in the

2012 final. Italy had also been eliminated by Spain in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals at Euro 2008.

The result brings an end to Spain’s unprecedented success at the European Championship following its two consecutive victories in 2008 and 2012. Two years ago, defending its 2010 World Cup, Spain was dumped out of the World Cup in Brazil at the group stage.

Spain entered Monday’s game surrounded by doubts after losing 2-1 to Croatia in its final group game, and again it wasn’t able to impose the passing game that’s been behind its recent success.

“We have to accept the disappointment. They were more efficient in the decisive moments,” Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta said. “In the second half we played more like ourselves but we paid the price of also having to be careful on defense.”

Spain will now have to focus on qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, although it’s unclear what the Spanish squad will look like after the elimination in France. Many of the top players who have been with the squad the past few years may not return. It’s also uncertain whether Del Bosque will remain in charge.

Italy arrived in France written off by critics back but it’s now in

the hunt to win its first European Championship since 1968. Italy will play Germany in Bordeaux on Saturday in a rematch of the 2012 semifinal, which it won by 2-1.

It won’t take long before Italy and Spain resume their rivalry as they have been drawn together in the same qualifying group for the World Cup. (ap)

Iceland players celebrate at the end of the game

England out of Euro 2016, beaten by Iceland

NICE — After voting to leave the European Union last week, the English left the soccer European Championship in similarly surprising fashion on Monday in what will go down as their most embarrassing loss in a generation.

Iceland, whose population of 330,000 makes it the smallest nation ever to compete at the tournament, pulled off one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history by beating England 2-1 in the round of 16.

“This is probably going to be a day that we will talk about for the rest of our lives,” said Iceland joint-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, who runs a dentist surgery in his spare time.

Iceland’s players danced and sang in front of their joyous fans after earning the biggest victory in their small nation’s history. Next up is an even bigger challenge — host nation France on Sunday — but nothing may top beating England, a team Iceland always used to support in major tournaments.

As for England, the defeat meant more humiliation on the big stage and surely another inquest into why a team of supposedly talented players failed again.

David Cameron stepped down as British Prime Minister after the result of last week’s referendum that unsettled the country and the whole of Europe. England coach Roy Hodgson did the same after overseeing yet another humiliating campaign in a major tournament.

“Now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of

players,” Hodgson said. “They have been fantastic.”

The England fans who jeered the team off the field at halftime and fulltime at the Stade de Nice will likely have a different opinion. This unexpected result for the country that invented the game came two years after England exited the World Cup in disgrace at the group stage.

It all started so well on the French Riviera for England, with captain Wayne Rooney putting the team ahead from the penalty spot in the fourth minute after Raheem Sterling was clipped by Hannes Halldorsson as he prodded the ball past the goalkeeper.

Crucially, Iceland struck back within two minutes through Ragnar Sigurdsson, who volleyed in at the far post after Kari Arnason’s flick-on from a long throw.

It is the third time Iceland has scored a goal from a long-throw routine this tournament.

Kolbeinn Sigthorsson then took advantage of more slack defending by England, getting time and space to shoot from just inside the area after intricate build-up play. England goalkeeper Joe Hart got a hand to the effort but the ball squirmed over the line.

Iceland was relatively untroubled in the second half as England’s passing and touch deserted its team of supposed

Premier League stars, with Rooney especially culpable. The catcalls from England supporters were at their loudest when Harry Kane miscontrolled a pass in the last minutes.

England’s players slumped to the ground in front of their jeering fans after the final whistle, crestfallen and their heads in their hands.

For a soccer nation of England’s standing, its record in major tournaments is woeful. The English have still never won a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts and haven’t won a match beyond the group stage of a major tournament since 2006.

This defeat will probably go down as England’s biggest humiliation since losing 1-0 to the United States in 1950 World Cup. “It’s embarrassing for us,” Rooney said. “We know we’re a better team. You can’t explain it.” Iceland’s reaction at the final whistle was so different.

Its squad and backroom staff raced onto the field in pure joy to celebrate with the team. Iceland captain Aron Gunnarrsson, who plays for Cardiff in the second tier of English football, tore off his shirt off and ran over to fans, leading his teammates in dancing and singing.

Almost 3,000 kilometers away, in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, an estimated 10,000 people watched the match on a giant screen downtown in daylight.

Fireworks erupted and residents danced on their balconies.

The ease with which Iceland saw

out the game was surprising, another ignominy for an England side t h a t finished the match with four strikers on the field but didn’t seriously test Halldorsson.

Hodgson harbored hopes of staying on after Euro 2016.

After this exit and England’s group-stage elimination from the last Wo r l d C u p without winning a game, his legacy will be seriously tarnished.

“I’m a bit lost for words.

Just very disappointed, upset, sad for England, Roy and us as a team,” Hart said.

“We’re going to have to watch this tournament through our fingers.”(ap)

Fit-again Federer gets into his stride

LONDON - For the Roger Federer fans on Centre Court and the legions watching on televisions around the world it was a reassuring sight as the Swiss swept past Argentina’s Guido Pella into the second round of Wimbledon on Monday.

Knee surgery and a nagging back injury had restricted the 17-times grand slam champion to 22 matches this season and his no-show at the recent French Open ended a run of 65 consecutive major appearances. Talk of time finally catching up with Federer has been doing the rounds. So all eyes were on the 34-year-old Swiss great as he stepped onto Centre Court where he had held the trophy aloft on seven occasions.

But Federer began his 18th consecutive Wimbledon campaign with a tidy 7-6(5) 7-6(3) 6-3 victory that, while never spectacular, was relatively comfortable.

He offered up not a single break point to the 51stranked Pella, and while he converted only one of the nine that came his way, he found an extra gear when required. Federer’s only real moment of alarm came at 5-6, 0-30 in the second set. But he quickly killed the danger and waltzed through the tiebreak to take a two-set lead. With light fading he made light work of the third set.

Federer’s next appointment will be with British qualifier Marcus Willis, ranked 772nd in the world, on Wednesday.

“It’s a great, great story and I’m very, very excited to be playing him actually. It’s the best story in tennis for a while,” Federer told reporters when asked about playing Willis, a tennis coach who survived six rounds of qualifying.

“It’s going to be a great atmosphere.”

While Federer was more than happy for Willis to take the spotlight after his win over Ricardas Berankis, he was more concerned with his own form and fitness after arriving at Wimbledon without a title in the first six months of the season for the first time since 2000. (rtr)

Ledecky delivers win but no world record

OMAHA - Katie Ledecky delivered everything but the world record everyone had expected, storming to victory in the women’s 400 metres freestyle at the U.S. Olympic

swim trials on Monday and securing her ticket to the Rio Games.

The dominant figure in women’s swimming, Ledecky is a threat to smash a record

Katie Ledecky reacts after the women’s freestyle 400m finals in the U.S. Olympic swimming team trials at CenturyLink Center.

almost every time she dives into a pool and she clearly had her sight set on lowering her own mark in the 400 free.

But the 19-year-old faded badly over the final 200, settling for the third fastest time ever in the event of three minutes, 58.98 seconds.

“I think the last 150 I just kept telling myself, Rio, Rio, Rio, just come on,” said Ledecky. “I just tried to keep myself fired up on that and didn’t really care what the time was.

“I haven’t been 3:58 since 2014 and I’m happy how I swam it.

“I know there are improvements we can make off of it.”

Ledecky, who came into the final having registered eight of the top 10 swims in the event, had looked poised to demolish her own mark of 3:58.37 when she blazed through the opening 200 metres more than two seconds under world record pace.

But the world champion had gone out too fast. Losing time at each split in the final 200, Ledecky paid the price for her searing early pace. She was out of gas and even a delirious soldout crowd of 14,000 at the CenturyLink Center could not lift her to a new record.

Near the end, Ledecky was pushed by Leah Smith, who became the fourth fastest swimmer ever in the event when she touched in 4:00.65.

Entered in every freestyle event from the 50 to the 800 in Omaha, Ledecky will have many more chances at world records.

“I have the rest of the week ahead of me with a lot of big swims,” she said. “I know I need to be fast the rest of the week so I am excited about heading to Rio and hopefully I can tack on a few more events.”

But as always her focus will be on the races in which she has few rivals, the 200, 400 and 800 metres.

She owns the top times in the world in each event this year, and is seeking to qualify in all three and then chase a rare triple gold sweep at the Rio Olympics.

In other finals, Kelsi Worrell won the 100 metres butterfly, charging past 2012 Olympic champion and former world record holder Dana Vollmer to qualify for Rio. Worrell, however, needed the second fastest time of the year to qualify for her first Olympic team, clocking 56.48 while Vollmer, returning to competition after having a baby, touched in 57.21.

Europe presses Britain for quick exit to limit global fallout

LONDON - Britain faced angry calls from other European leaders to act quickly to resolve the political and economic chaos unleashed by its vote to leave the European Union which the IMF said could put pressure on global growth.

Financial markets recovered slightly on Tuesday after the result wiped a record $3 trillion off global shares and sterling fell to its lowest level in 31 years, but trading was volatile and policymakers vowed to take all necessary measures to protect their economies.

British finance minister George Osborne, whose attempt to calm markets fell on deaf ears on Monday, said he would have to cut spending and raise taxes to secure fiscal stability after a third credit ratings agency downgraded the country’s debt.

Firms have announced hiring freezes and possible job cuts, dashing voters’ hopes the economy

would thrive outside the EU. European countries are particularly worried about the impact on the rest of the European Union of the uncertainty created

by Britain’s vote to leave, with little idea of when, or even if, the country will formally declare it is quitting.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told the European Parliament he would be urging British Prime Minister David Cameron to “clarify as soon as possible” the British position, but did not expect him to launch the two-year withdrawal process “today, or tomorrow morning”.

“We cannot be embroiled in lasting uncertainty,” he said in a speech which he interrupted to ask British lawmakers who campaigned to leave the EU why they were there.

Cameron, who resigned after it became clear he had failed in his efforts to persuade the country to stay in the EU in the referendum, which he called, says he will leave it to his successor to formally declare Britain’s exit.

His party says it aims to choose a new leader by early September, but those who campaigned for Britain’s leave vote have made clear they hope to negotiate a new deal for the country with Europe before triggering the formal exit process.

European leaders have said that is not an option.

“No notification, no negotiation,” Juncker said. (rtr)

Turkey, Israel sign deal to normalise ties after six years

ANKARA - Turkey and Israel signed a deal on Tuesday to restore ties after a six-year rift, formalising an agreement which U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said sent a “hopeful signal” for regional stability.

The accord, announced on Monday by the two countries’ prime ministers, was a rare rapprochement in the divided Middle East, driven by the prospect of lucrative Mediterranean gas deals as well as mutual fears over growing security risks.

It was formally signed on Tuesday by Turkey’s Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu in Ankara and Israel’s Foreign Ministry Director General Dore Gold in Jerusalem, officials said.

Relations between Israel and what was once its principal Muslim ally crumbled after Israeli marines stormed an activist ship in May 2010 to enforce a naval blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and killed 10 Turks on board.

Under the deal, the naval blockade of Gaza, which Ankara had wanted lifted, remains in force, although humanitarian aid can continue to be transferred to Gaza

via Israeli ports.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said late on Monday the two countries might appoint ambassadors “in a week or two.”

Israel, which had already offered its apologies for the 2010 raid on the Mavi Marmara activist ship, agreed to pay out $20 million to the bereaved and injured. The deal requires Turkey pass legislation indemnifying Israeli soldiers.

“This is an important and hopeful signal for the stability of the region,” Ban said at a meeting with Israel’s president in Jerusalem on Monday.

Visiting a U.N.-run school and a Qatari-built rehabilitation hospital in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, he also called for an end to the Israeli blockade.

“The closure of Gaza suffocates its people, stifles its economy and impedes reconstruction efforts.

It is a collective punishment for which there must accountability,” Ban said.

Israel says the Gaza blockade is needed to curb arms smuggling

by Hamas, an Islamist group that last fought a war with Israel in 2014. (rtr)

Empty houses and jobless maids: Indonesia’s expat exodus gathers pace

5

JAKARTA - Foreign workers are leaving Indonesia at an increasing rate due to the slump in commodity prices that has forced resource companies to slash jobs at a time when the government has also introduced tighter regulations on expatriates in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 30, 2015 file photo, Mongolian children play near a statue of a Mongolian warrior on horseback in front of the Mongolian Parliament House in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Sluggish economy casts shadow over Mongolians elections

ULAANBAATAR — Mongolians vote in parliamentary elections Wednesday with sentiment weighed by a sharp downturn in the landlocked Asian nation’s crucial mining sector, rising unemployment and political disillusionment.

The Democratic Party could lose its majority in parliament, known as the State Great Khural, to the opposition Mongolian People’s Party a year ahead of the 2017 presidential election. But with no major policy offerings on the table and an economy pummeled by the global slump in commodity prices, it’s unclear what options Mongolia has for reviving its fortunes.

The parliamentary elections are the seventh since the country made a peaceful transition to democracy in 1990. Yet disillusionment with the political process in the country — recently dubbed “an oasis of democracy” by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry — is growing among younger voters, whose turnout has steadily declined in recent years.

Amgalan Sukh-Ochir, 30, who works in marketing, said he plans to boycott the elections.

“In the last elections when the DP made all these great promises for prospering, I decided to support them, but look where we are now. I don’t think they’ve achieved much,” he said.

Mongolia’s mining- and animal herding-dependent economy has been dragged down by weak domestic demand and a sharp decline in exports, impoverishing thousands of former herders who had moved to its few cities looking for jobs. Economic growth has slipped from 17.5 percent in 2011 to just 2.3 percent last year in the resource-rich nation of 3 million people, one-fifth of whom live in

poverty.

Both the ruling Democratic Party and its main rival have campaigned on the promise of more jobs.

“The main issue is, No. 1, to revive the economy,” said Bulgantuya Khurelbaatar, secretary of the opposition Mongolian People’s Party. She said the party aims to build 100 factories in 21 provinces that would create about 40,000 new jobs, though she didn’t say how. It’s unclear what measures or resources are available to stimulate the flagging economy.

Coal, copper and other mineral resources make up 94 percent of Mongolia’s exports. But with demand in China weakening as its economy cools, Mongolia’s own growth is forecast to fall below 1 percent this year.

Foreign investment in the country has slowed to a trickle, though mining giant Rio Tinto announced in May the launch of the next stage

of a multibillion-dollar gold and copper mine. Still, critics of government agreements with mining companies complain that too little of Mongolia’s mineral wealth benefits the general public.

Some observers see recent changes to the electoral process as handicapping smaller parties and female candidates.

“They have closed some space for smaller political parties, as majoritarian systems do tend to benefit two main political parties,” said Ashleigh Whelan, country director for the International Republican Institute, a U.S.-based group with the stated aim of promoting democracy globally.

“This can reduce the opportunity for lesser-known candidates, new candidates, youth, women and those candidates who may not be a guarantee in terms of winning,” Whelan said. Her organization does not expect either party to secure an

overwhelming majority.

In its latest National Human Development Report, the United Nations Development Program found that only about 45 percent of Mongolians aged 18-34 have voted in recent elections, compared to an overall turnout of 65 percent in 2012.

Skepticism has grown after the ruling party recently offered citizens 300,000 tugriks ($155) to sell 30 percent of their promised shares in the state-owned coal mine, Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi. So far 1.2 million of 1.65 million shareholders have applied to sell their shares to the government.

“I think it’s illegal to tell you the truth,” said Khurelbaatar of the opposition party. “This is right before elections . it seems to all political parties that they’re actually trying to buy off votes.” The Democratic Party did not respond to requests for comment.(ap)

The number of temporary residential permits issued to foreigners, including renewals, has fallen for the past few years to 171,944 in 2015 from 194,162 in 2013. In the first five months of this year, there were 72,399 issued but many of those who provide services to expats say they expect a further drop over the whole of 2016 as they are seeing very few new arrivals.

As a result, rents on upmarket homes in Jakarta have plummeted and enrolment at international schools has fallen.

“The expat drought has been really noticeable in 2016,” said Deborah Minicola, a Jakarta-based technical advisor at international relocation company Allied Pickfords.

“This time the expat community has been hit from so many angles.”

The outflow is likely to dent higher-end consumption and drive up unemployment, economists say, as big-spending expats tend to hire multiple workers ranging from housemaids and drivers to gardeners and bodyguards. Some workers who recently lost their jobs are finding it difficult to get new employment.

Christiana Ambar Putriani is one example.

She has been looking for a job as a part-time housekeeper in Jakarta after her former bosses left for South America a few weeks ago. She hopes to work for an expat family again as foreigners tend to pay higher wages but it is getting tougher to find such jobs, she says.

The Australian Independent School in Balikpapan, a city in Indonesia’s resourcedependent province of East Kalimantan, expects a 36 percent reduction in its student body this year, said human resources officer Ni Ketut Novia. Three international schools in the city have shut over the past 2-3 years due to the mass layoffs at mining contractors and a drastic cut in expat allowances, she said.

The expat exodus will also create skill shortages that could hold the country back when the commodity downturn is reversed.

Low resource prices and a slowdown in demand from China, one of Indonesia’s top export markets, have reduced the incentive for exploration or production in the oil and gas and mining sectors, forcing companies to hack back on staff costs.

The mining, oil and gas and geothermal sectors accounted for 7.62 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product in 2015, down from 11.81 percent in 2011. Drilling contractors and exploration site surveyors are among the worst-hit, industry experts say.

Oil and gas companies operating in the country include Chevron Corp, Total SA and Exxon Mobil Corp . Total’s Indonesia spokesman said the company has “manpower

Picture taken June 23, 2016. planning which is in line with our evolution of activities.” Chevron, which is selling assets in Asia including some in Indonesia, declined to comment. Exxon also did not comment.

POLICY CONFUSION A PwC survey of 53 firms in the oil and gas sector, released in May, found that almost three-quarters of respondents expected a smaller expat workforce in future, partly because of tighter controls on hiring foreigners.

Indonesia opened up dozens of business sectors recently to foreign investors in a move described by President Joko Widodo as a “Big Bang” liberalization of the economy.

Yet business groups say there are mixed signals from the government, which imposes restrictions apparently under pressure from protectionist voices around the president.

The manpower ministry is encouraging companies to hire more Indonesian workers and is tightening its scrutiny of the work permit applications from foreigners, said Ratna Agustina, a director at a firm that provides services to expats.

The government also sets an age ceiling of 55 years for foreigners employed by oil and gas contractors, downstream businesses and

supporting service providers - with certain exemptions for top executives or those with skills deemed crucial.

“If they are above 55, the assumption is that many have ailments and are less productive,” said Taslim Yunus, a spokesman for the energy regulator.

Adding to the regulatory uncertainty, the government last year introduced requirements for foreigners to be proficient in Indonesian and for companies to hire 10 locals for every expat, only to backtrack less than 12 months later after businesses raised strong protests.

The manpower ministry did not respond to requests for comment. The expat exodus hasn’t hit the rest of the region as hard.

In neighboring Singapore, the number of foreign professionals, managers and executives earning at least S$3,300 ($2,500) a month actually rose 5 percent to 187,900 as of December 2015 from a year earlier, the latest official data show. (http://bit.ly/28VaKsT) Banks are hiring more compliance professionals in the city-state, but many condominium units have been left empty and office vacancy rates are near their highest level in almost a decade, partly due to the departure of expats from the energy and commodities sector, property agents say.

EMPTY HOUSES The gloom is evident on the streets of Kemang, a ritzy neighborhood in south Jakarta where opulent homes are now festooned with “for-rent” signs.

The rental price of one house there, with a garden and swimming pool, has fallen by a third to $3,000 per month, says property broker Julizar. “I’ve been trying to market this house for six months but there has been no taker.”

A British national who provides training for energy executives in Indonesia has been hit by a 60 percent decline in revenue over the past 18 months. This slump, he says, is the most pronounced throughout his 20 years in the industry. He declined to be named, citing company policy.

The long-term impact of the restrictions in hiring foreign workers will be “an exacerbation of an existing acute skills shortage”, said Lin Neumann, managing director of the American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia.

Widodo has taken steps to move the economy away from its dependence on commodity exports and build a manufacturing base, but Neumann said that isn’t enough to offset the shrinkage in mining and oil and gas.(rtr)

Prison does not guarantee drug addicts to repent DENPASAR - Drug circulation and abuse has been in alarming level, including in Bali. Prisons and rehabilitation do not guarantee people getting involved in the vortex of drugs to repent. Therefore, early prevention must continue to be done.

“Drug abuse throughout 2015 involved the population aged 13 to 49 years,” said the Head of the Bali narcotics agency (BNNP Bali), I Putu Gede Suastawa, after the signature of MoU between the BNNP Bali and Bali Education Agency related to the implementation of the integrated curriculum as well as the commemoration of the international day against drug abuse (HANI) 2016, Sunday (Jun. 26).

When commemorating the HANI, it was announced that 382 drug abusers have been caught by the BNNP and Bali Police with the ranks, while the number of drug prisoners in jail reached 1,500 people. “Prison actually does not guarantee that a person can change.

On that account, we more aggressively attempt the prevention through dissemination at schools, customary villages, communities, organizations and artists. Come together to work and evaluate for better results,” he said.

With the implementation of the curriculum, Suastawa hoped that the knowledge about the drug hazards among students can be made from an early age. In addition, the students will also be invited to the BNNP, Bali Police and district police to know in person about the impacts caused by drug abuse.

In the meantime, the Head of the Bali Education Agency, Tia Kusuma Wardhani, asserted that based on the coordination with the district/municipal government, the anti-drug curriculum is inserted into five lessons for junior high and high school/vocational school, namely religion, social studies, Indonesian, civics and physical health education. “Seeing the increasingly alarming drug abuse, it is not limited to the five lessons only. If there is spare time, teachers will deliver the anti-drug lesson for 15 minutes,” said Tia. In addition to launching the anti-drug curriculum, the event was also filled in with the reward to organizations and individuals including two artists namely Cedil and Dadong Rerod considered to have been consent to disseminate the drug hazards in the community.

BBTF 2016 delegates and organizing committee take picture during the farewell party that held on Saturday.

A man shouts in front of French CRS riot police during a demonstration against plans to reform French labour laws near the Place de la Bastille square in Paris, France, June 23, 2016.

French unions lead labour law protest before meeting PM

PARIS - French riot police deployed in Paris on Tuesday as unions rallied supporters ahead of another street protest against government plans to ease protective labour laws.

The march is the latest in President Francois Hollande’s four-month confrontation with the unions which has divided the governing Socialists and dragged the unpopular leader’s ratings down to new lows 10 months before a presidential election.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls will meet leaders of the hardline CGT and Force Ouvriere (FO) unions on Wednesday. They say it is time the government listened to their demands that core elements of the labour bill the proposes making it easier to hire and fire workers be scrapped.

The Socialist government says the reforms are key to hauling down an unemployment rate stuck at about 10 percent, attracting new

investment and spurring growth.

“If the government is not going to give ground it will be a meeting for nothing,” said FO leader JeanClaude Mailly.

“There’s no point in inviting us to meet if it’s just to tell is ‘get on your way, nothing’s going to change’.”

The government came under fire after it banned a march last Thursday, citing security risks, and then said the demonstration could go ahead along a revised route.

Tuesday’s protest starts at 2 p.m. (1200 GMT) and takes a route prohibited last week, when protesters were limited to a far more restricted space for a demonstration that took place without major violence.

About 2,500 riot police will deploy in an operation to avert the violence that has erupted at some earlier protests, often involving masked youths on the fringes of crowds. Metal fences were erected along the planned route and anyone attempting to shield their faces with clothing or bring in weapons will be arrested on the spot, police said.

The government appears keen to quell tensions with the unions leading the protests which appear to be running out of steam even if French voters still broadly oppose the reforms to liberalise some of the strictest labour laws in the euro zone.

Among the most contentious clauses is Article 2 of the bill which hands companies more power to negotiate pay and working conditions and could weaken the influence of trade unions in the work place. (rtr)

TOKYO - A baby lies in a metal-bar cot drinking from a bottle perched on his pillow in a Tokyo orphanage. There’s no one to hold and feed him or offer words of comfort.

The director of the institution, nurses scurrying busily around him, says he would like extra time and staff to pay more attention to the 70 babies and toddlers under his care, but it’s not going to happen.

“I wish we could hold them in our arms, one by one,” says Yoshio Imada. “Some people call this abuse. It’s a difficult situation.”

Japan last month passed a bill overhauling its 70-year-old Child Welfare Law, recognising a child’s right to grow up in a family setting. It is short on specific, immediate measures, but experts say it’s a first step to making institutions a last resort, rather than the default position.

A staggering 85 percent of the 40,000 children who can’t live with their parents in Japan are institutionalised, by far the highest ratio among rich countries and prompting repeated warnings from the United Nations. Even with the revised law, Japan’s goal isn’t lofty: familybased care for a third of those children by 2029.

The statistics raise the question: where can foster parents be found for tens of thousands of children in need?

“We do the best we can but it’s obvious that a one-on-one relationship that foster parents provide is better,” says Kazumitsu Tsuru, who heads another infant institution in Tokyo.

“All children need someone who is dedicated only to them.”

A major hindrance is a lack of awareness about the fostering system - there are just 10,200 registered foster families, while adoptions are even rarer, at 544 last year. And in a society that treasures uniformity and blood ties, fostered or adopted children are often stigmatised.

A rise in reports of child abuse has also proved a stumbling block.

Welfare workers are too busy taking children out of immediate harm.

Placing them in institutions is faster than finding a foster family.

Too busy with the next victim, welfare workers also have little time to follow up with those children, leaving them to languish for years. (rtr)

‘Avatar’ mobile game landing ahead of film sequels

Ding Ting/Xinhua via AP

In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, people in panda costumes pose in front of a Chengdu Airlines ARJ21-700 plane before its first commercial flight at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu in southwestern China’s Sichuan Province Tuesday, June 28, 2016.

First made-inChina jetliner makes debut commercial flight

SHANGHAI — The first regional jet produced in China’s initiative to compete in the commercial aircraft market made its debut flight Tuesday carrying 70 passengers.

The ARJ21-700 jet is one of a series of initiatives launched by the ruling Communist Party to transform China from the world’s low-cost factory into a creator of profitable technology in aviation, clean energy and other fields.

The plane operated by Chengdu Airlines took its passengers from the western city of Chengdu to Shanghai in two hours.

China is one of the biggest aviation markets but relies on foreignmade aircraft. Beijing wants to capture more of those sales. Its major airlines are state-owned,

which gives the ruling party a captive pool of potential customers that can be ordered to buy Chinesemade aircraft.

The ARJ21 — or Asian Regional Jet for the 21st Century — is intended to make its state-owned manufacturer, Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China, a competitor to Bombardier Inc. of Canada and Brazil’s Embraer SA. “The first flight of the ARJ21 marks the beginning of commercial, or passenger, operations for the ARJ21 and signifies the first time a domestically made regional jet has been used by a Chinese air-

line,” said the COMAC chairman, Jin Zhuanglong.

The ARJ21 initiative was launched in 2002. It was scheduled to deliver its first plane in 2007 but that was pushed back due to technical problems.

A full-size jetliner under development by another stateowned company, the C919, is aimed at competing with Boeing Co. and Airbus. After delays blamed on manufacturing problems, the C919 is due to fly this year and enter service in about 2019.

Boeing forecasts China’s total demand for civilian jetliners over the next two decades at 5,580 planes worth a total of $780 billion. (ap)

LOS ANGELES — Before moviegoers return to Pandora, they’ll be able visit the exotic alien world from “Avatar” on their smartphones.

Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox have enlisted game studio Kabam to develop an “Avatar” mobile game for release ahead of the next four film sequels.

“The idea is to extend the world beyond the big screen and create an experience that will be true to what James Cameron did in making the most technologically advanced film of its time,” said Kabam COO Kent Wakeford. “That’s what we want to do with this game.”

The multiplayer strategy game is set for release in 2018 before the second “Avatar” film hits theaters. Wakeford said Kabam plans to update the game as “Avatar” sequels unfurl every other year through 2023.

Kabam previously released mobile games based on such franchises as “Star Wars,” Marvel and “Fast & Furious.” Wakeford said the budget to produce the “Avatar” game will be sustainably more than $14 million, the average cost of Kabam’s previous titles.

The original 2009 film centered on the conflict between the humanled Resources Development Administration and the blue-skinned alien race Na’vi of Pandora. The film sequels will explore Pandora’s other environments and cultures.

“For us, to be able to come out ahead of the movie and start to introduce a whole new set of characters and experiences when the movie releases and then again

and again and again as the new films roll out, it’ll allow us to create a really engaging game,” said Wakeford.

The game won’t only rely on the first movie for inspiration. For the past year, the developers at Kabam have been collaborating with artists and others working on the next “Avatar” installments at Lightstorm.

“There might be a creature or RDA aircraft that was not in the first movie that we designed for the sequels that’s part of the texture of the films,” said “Avatar” producer and Lightstorm COO Jon Landau.

“If it doesn’t reveal a story point from the films, why not share that with Kabam and allow them to use it in that space?”

The four sequels are slated to be simultaneously filmed. Landau said screenwriters are close to finishing their scripts and filming with the principal cast, which includes Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, is set to begin in early 2017.

Landau said the mobile game’s plot will be separate from the “Avatar” films and will allow players to align together and make decisions that will affect the narrative.

“I think science fiction can be a great metaphor for the world in which we live,” said Landau. “As people play this game, I want them to have choices, just like they have in life. The choices you make in a game create different experiences for you — some for the better, some for the worse. It’s about engaging people in this world but never losing sight of the ethos of ‘Avatar.’” (ap)

In addition, towering cliffs also become dazzling attraction embellished with the overlay of white sand on the seashores. However, travelers cannot go down to enjoy the white sand view directly because of the access is quite steep and does not allow people to pass.

Besides, a pavilion has also been established on the top of the cliff.

From this pavilion, travelers can enjoy the wide expanse of beautiful and blue ocean directly facing the Lombok Island.

MANGUPURA - Waste becomes a serious problem faced by the government of Badung due to lack of public awareness of environmental sanitation. This condition is reflected in the emergence of many illegal landfills in the region.

For instance, the illegal landfill is found in the area of mangrove conservation and the area of Mengwi terminal. Lately, waste problem also appears at the border of Denpasar and Badung. Moreover, residents highlighted the condition of illegal landfills on Jalan Bajataki, Kerobokan Kaja, North Kuta whose waste is not transported for months and results in unpleasant sights.

“Repeatedly I pass through the Jalan Bajataki where piles of waste

are found everywhere. Moreover, during rainy season they exude stenches,” said Eka Adi, a motorist passing through at the road section, Monday (Jun. 27).

He deplored that the Badung district having the motto ‘clean, beautiful and blooming’ has been tarnished by numerous illegal landfills at a number of places. “I do hope that relevant agencies having the responsibility for handling this can prohibit people from throwing waste on the road. It’s a pity and because of the waste the reputation of Badung is tarnished,” he said.

Headman of Kerobokan Kaja, Made Adnyana, when confirmed last Monday justified the condition of waste on Jalan Bajataki. He said to have repeatedly underlined that

He mentioned that the waste polluting the environment is disposed at night so as not to be monitored by village authority. “If knowing the owner of the land taken advantage as illegal landfill, it will be easy for us to coordinate and cooperate with so that he will also prohibit people from throwing waste on the land,” he concluded.

COVER STORY Drug...

From page 1 Based on analysis about the many teenage abusers of the illicit goods, he said that the BNN and police authority vigorously conduct raids and arrests.

As a result, the markets or customers drug dealers reduced.

“However, the dealers never give up. They even target children and teenagers to develop their illegal business. On that account, their goods remain in demand,” he said.

In the end, this former deputy assistant of intelligence of general commander of the special force command (Kopassus) further added that other than commercial factor, there may be scenarios by the outsiders to destroy this nation. If the people of Indonesia are foolish, they will easily go in to destroy this nation.

drug hazards with the BNN in each region. Preventive efforts against drug within the circle of the TNI are also aggressively done, including through a urine test.

“We continue disseminating in the face of drug threats that can ruin this nation. We are serving today and the stakeholders will definitely old and die. Our successor is the younger generation. If they are not ready due to drugs, it means that we do not have people being ready to run this nation,” said this military academy graduate in 1990.

Chief of the BNNP Bali, I Putu Gede Suastawa, revealed that to save teens from drug hazards, his agency synergized with the Bali Education Agency to realize the prevention, eradication, drug abuse and trafficking (P4GN) integrated curriculum for junior high, high school and vocational school students. Subject on drug for junior high school will be inserted into religion, civics, Indonesian, social sciences and physical health education. As for high school and vocational school, it will be inserted into the five subjects above

and history.

“This is our effort to carry out prevention ranging from the upstream namely school curriculum. We want to do the prevention early, so that students can understand the hazards of drugs,” he said.

He hoped that school holiday can be filled with extra-curricular activities that contain coaching, mental, physical and spiritual aspect.

Customary village also has to share

with, for example, by holding a short ashram education by utilizing village meeting hall.

In the meantime, Director of Bali Police Drug Investigation, Franky Harianto, promised to hunt down and arrest the drug dealers in Bali.

High migrants, Many of them have no temporary residence card

IBP/file

The police inspect the indentity of the people enreting Bali through Padang Bai Harbor in Karangasem.

The Head of the Karangasem Population and Civil Registry Office, Wayan Sumitha, admitted in Karangasem that the number of migrants in Karangasem is quite high. His agency routinely conducts a raid against migrants. The raid is conducted in eight subdistricts.

He recognized that many migrants stay in Kubu. They mainly work in quarrying area and stay at boarding house. When conducting a raid last April at Sukadana village, the office encountered 186 people. They did not have identity card. Some were bringing identity card issued in Java but has expired.

“All the migrants having not equipped themselves with identity card were asked to submit a temporary residence card. Ultimately they got temporary residence card. The card was issued based on the guarantee given by the owner of quarrying business or owner of their boarding house,” said Sumitha.

Many other migrants were also found at Amed and Kecicang. At Amed they are working in tourism sector or shrimp ponds, while at Kecicang and neighborhood of Amlapura town such as Bangras they are generally working as scavengers.

Related to next homecoming period, added Sumitha, his agency will increasingly intensify the inspection against identity card at Padangbai Harbor. All this time, he said, the inspection of identity card of migrants is still regularly performed for 24 hours, with three officer shifts. The officers involved a team of the Population and Registry Office in cooperation with the Indonesian Army (TNI), National Police and National Unity and Politics Agency. (013)

Kanye West stirs up controversy with nude celebrities in ‘Famous’

LOS ANGELES - Rapper Kanye West set tongues wagging on Monday with his latest music video that features nude portrayals of high profile celebrities including pop singer Taylor Swift, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump and comedian Bill Cosby.

In this Aug. 30, 2015, file photo, Kanye West accepts the video vanguard award at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The music video for “Famous,” which premiered on E! News, featured low-resolution footage depicting 12 celebrities sleeping next to each other with West situated in the middle, nestled between Swift and his wife, reality star Kim Kardashian.

Other celebrities include former U.S. President George W. Bush, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, rapper Chris Brown, R&B singer Ray

J, transgender reality star Caitlyn Jenner, model Amber Rose and singer Rihanna, who provided vocals for the song.

E! blurred out depictions of breasts and genitals. It is not known if the portrayals are paintings or wax statues, but in some cases it appears to be the actual celebrity posing.

The video ends by pausing on the sleeping faces of Swift, Rihanna and Brown over the audio of heavy

breathing.

Representatives for West, Kardashian, Jenner, Trump and Cosby declined to comment on the video.

Representatives for the other celebrities did not immediately return requests for comment.

E! News host Jason Kennedy said “Kanye wants everyone to know this is not a video. This is an art visual.”

The imagery for “Famous” is inspired by artist Vincent Desiderio’s 2008 painting “Sleep,” which featured people in various states of undress sleeping next to each other.

Desiderio called West’s video “a tableau that was disturbingly familiar, rapturously beautiful and frighteningly uncanny,” in an essay published Monday for W Magazine.

West, known for often embarking on rambling ‘tweetstorms’ on social media, held the first screening of the “Famous” video in Los Angeles late on Friday.

The video quickly became a trending topic online over the weekend especially due to West’s complicated history with Swift.

The rapper famously interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and snatched her microphone award out of her hand. The duo buried the hatchet at last year’s MTV Video Music awards, but the truce did not last long. (rtr)

Indonesian court to proceed with trial in cyanide murder

JAKARTA — An Indonesian court decided Tuesday to proceed with the trial of a former resident of Australia accused of murdering a friend by lacing her coffee with cyanide.

The 27-year-old defendant, Jessica Kumala Wongso, was charged with plotting the Jan. 6 poisoning of Wayan Mirna Salihin because of the victim’s advice that she sever her relationship with her troublesome boyfriend. The two were former classmates in Australia.

“The indictment submitted by

the state prosecutors has clearly, accurately and comprehensively explained the murder,” said presiding judge Kisworo. “Therefore the objections of the defense lawyers could not be accepted.”

Wongso’s lawyers have ridiculed the prosecution’s contention that Salihin’s advice that Wongso end her

relationship led to the murder. They said the explanation “could not be accepted by common sense.”

Salihin collapsed and died after drinking coffee at a Jakarta cafe where the two met along with another friend.

Police say laboratory tests showed the drink contained cyanide.

The case has riveted Indonesia for months and attracted attention in Australia because Wongso was a permanent resident and studied in Sydney.

Police have struggled to bring the case to trial as prosecutors deferred it several times due to insufficient evidence. It was accepted after Indonesian investigators gained additional information from the Australian Federal Police.

Wongso is charged with premeditated murder, a capital crime in Indonesia, but Indonesia has promised not impose the death penalty in exchange for the help from Australia, which opposes the death

penalty. The trial is to resume July 12 with the testimony of witnesses presented by prosecutors.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
