BAF monotonous, classic arts lack of spectators

DENPASAR - The Bali Arts Festival (BAF) 2016 has entered its third week since it opened on June 11.

Various performances have been presented to the audience, ranging from classical, innovative to ‘reconstructed’ arts. However, most of the performances -especially the classical arts, like the gamelan music composition have only drawn a few spectators. Many say that the performances are monotonous.

“If we provide modern art performances many spectators do not enjoy it, unless they are comedic or humour involved. Audiences are also not very enthusiastic about classical performance like gambuh” said an artist from Bangli, named Ida Bagus Ngurah Made Widiasta, when met at the Denpasar Art Center on Tuesday (Jun. 28).

BEIJING - China said on Tuesday U.S. pop star Lady Gaga’s meeting with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama had unleashed “anger” in the country, as internet users criticised her for meeting a man China condemns as a separatist.

The barrage of angry and critical comments came after the singer posted several photos of herself with the Dalai Lama on Sunday at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in the U.S. city of Indianapolis on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Lady Gaga, known for songs such as “Bad Romance” and “Born This Way”, chatted with the Dalai Lama on topics including generosity to the poor and mental health,

according to video of the event.

China considers the Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet into exile in India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, to be a dangerous “splittist”, or separatist. The Dalai Lama says he only wants genuine autonomy for his remote homeland.

“There is a broad consensus internationally about what kind of person the Dalai Lama is and what he does internationally,” Chinese

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a regular briefing.

“After the relevant incident happened, if you look at comments on the Chinese Internet, their anger has welled up,” he added, referring to Lady Gaga’s meeting.

Lady Gaga has not remarked on the blowback from Chinese internet users on her social media accounts.

Reuters could not immediately reach a representative for comment.

Lady Gaga is popular with many young Chinese but has never held a concert in mainland China, though she has in the Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macau. (rtr)

Islamic State prime suspect after suicide bombers kill 41 at Istanbul airport

ISTANBUL - Turkish investigators pored over video footage and witness statements on Wednesday after three suspected Islamic State suicide bombers opened fire and blew themselves up in Istanbul’s main airport, killing 41 people and wounding 239.

The attack on Europe’s thirdbusiest airport was the deadliest in a series of suicide bombings this year in Turkey, part of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State and struggling to contain spillover from neighbouring Syria’s war.

President Tayyip Erdogan said the attack should serve as a turning point in the global fight against terrorism, which he said had “no regard for faith or values”.

Five Saudis and two Iraqis were among the dead, a Turkish official

said. Citizens from China, Jordan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Iran and Ukraine were also among the 13 foreigners killed.

One attacker opened fire in the departures hall with an automatic rifle, sending passengers diving for cover and trying to flee, before all three blew themselves up in or around the arrivals hall a floor below, witnesses and officials said.

Video footage showed one of the attackers inside the terminal

building being shot, apparently by a police officer, before falling to the ground as people scattered. The attacker then blew himself up around 20 seconds later.

“It’s a jigsaw puzzle ... The authorities are going through CCTV footage, witness statements,” a Turkish official said.

The Dogan news agency said autopsies on the three bombers, whose torsos were ripped apart, had been completed and that they may have been foreign nationals, without citing its sources.

Broken ceiling panels littered the kerb outside the arrivals section of the international terminal. Plates of glass had shattered, exposing the

inside of the building, and electric cables dangled from the ceiling.

Cleanup crews swept up debris and armed police patrolled as flights resumed.

“This attack, targeting innocent people is a vile, planned terrorist act,” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters at the scene in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“There is initial evidence that each of the three suicide bombers blew themselves up after opening fire,” he said. The attackers had come to the airport by taxi and preliminary findings pointed to Islamic State responsibility.

Two U.S. counterterrorism of-

ficials familiar with the early stages of investigations said Islamic State was at the top of the list of suspects even though there was no evidence yet.

No group had claimed responsibility more than 12 hours after the attack, which began around 9:50 p.m. (1850 GMT) on Tuesday.

COVER STORY Art...

From page 1 This man whose stage name is Gus Topok added that staging of classical and traditional shows makes the BAF static and should therefore have innovative aspects added to them with a slightly modern element. He added that the local wisdom inherent in these arts should also be preserved.

“We have asked Balinese people from all over the island to attend BAF performances and give some feedback. But this year’S BAF remains as monotonous as in previous years”, he explained.

His fellow Bondres artist, I Wayan Suda, criticized the quality of the BAF stages saying that the even those that have roofs -like the Angsoka stage, leak when it rains. Likewise, the areas used as back stages by artists to put on their costumes and make-up are also leaked with the heavy rains of the last few days. He added however that there were improvements in terms of having young people involved in almost all of the BAF shows.

“There have been many performances that showed off the creativity of young people and the art studios. As a community, let’s support them because as a tourist destination, Bali relies on the arts and cultural attractions” he said.

Chief of Penggak Men Mersi, Kadek

Wahyudita, said that this year’s BAF performances were the same as every other year and that the conceptual management of the BAF needs to be more innovative. For example, each week could have a specific theme and performances could be better developed, he said.

“Hopefully in the future, we will see shows that have been prepared for more than just three months as well as better quality sound systems, lighting and decoration. We hope that these elements will be given more attention in the future”, he said.

Wahyudita went on to say that he especially noticed that the classical gamelan music compositions free minimal audiences. SUch arts he said should not be left to flounder and fail to draw audiences. These performances he said should be staged during peak hours and should have more innovative staging so as to entice people.

“It’s a pity that the sacred arts are brought in here like this. Sacred arts are part of rituals so people may not be so focused on the aesthetics because they are more concerned with the ritual. But when these arts are brought to the secular stage, they need to take into account the context and provide some added dimension”, he said.

When classical arts are given a place on the major stage, added Wahyudita,

the audience should be selected as well.

For example, each district/municipality could send art teachers and their students on given days as a way to enrich their knowledge of the classical arts. This wold give these performances more value that simple entertainment.

“We need to ask how do we bridge the generation gap? how do we make it fun to watch? what is the interesting point of particular art forms? and so on. There should be some context given like the history and function of a particular gamelan composition” , he suggested.

According to Wahyudita, the purpose of the BAF is not only entertaining even though these is also a part. In fact , each BAF performance should provide other benefits such as providing knowledge. Understanding of the classical arts needs to be created either in the form that it is presented or in the performance itself.

“If a performance is indeed quiet, it should be staged at night and particular audiences should be invited. We should not leave these things to chance but should instead seek to value art as a medium for education. Currently, all the shows are presented as entertainment so people just randomly choose and sit down and will watch as long as it is entertaining. If that is all that we want to provide then we might as well just have it all be Bondres mask performances - to ensure that people are entertained” he concluded. (kmb32)

In fact, the BMKG urged the public to be aware of the increase in wave height in the south of Bali reaching three meters and wind speeds of 8-30 km per hour as well as rain accompanied with lightning.

The Data and Information Division Head of the BMKG for Region III Denpasar, I Nyoman Gede Wiryajaya, explained that the recent rain in Bali is influenced by several factors. For instance, it can be caused by anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indian Ocean in the south of Java,

Activities

Bali to Nusa Tenggara, reaching two degrees Celsius. This condition results in a very strong convection activity.

He added that the MaddenJulian Oscillation (MJO) from the Indian Ocean is active in the western side of Indian Ocean.

Moreover, in the next few days the MJO is predicted to be active in equatorial region of Indonesia.

“And the weak Australian Monsoon has impact on cold air mass from mainland Australia generally occurred during dry Season.

However, lately it did not pass in

the region of Bali and Nusa Tenggara,” said Wiryajaya Further, he explained that La Nina is a global phenomenon whose effects are felt locally and vary in each region. La Nina generally has an impact in the form of increasing rainfall in the regions of Indonesia, including Bali. In dry season in 2016, it is predicted to be wetter than usually. The BMKG also predicted that there is La Nina phenomenon with weak intensity next July.

“During dry season, it does not necessarily mean that there is no rain. It remains to rain but the criteria still belong to dry season.

In the meantime, the rain accompanied with lightning is caused by cumulonimbus clouds,” he concluded. (win)

Survey finds excess health problems in lesbians, gays, bisexuals

NASHVILLE - Gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals reported more health problems than straight men and women, in a large U.S. survey.

For the first time since its launch in 1957, the National Health Interview Survey in 2013 and 2014 included a question about sexual orientation.

With nearly 69,000 participants, the survey revealed that lesbian, gay and bisexual adults “were more likely to report impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol

consumption, and heavy cigarette use, potentially due to the stressors that (they) experience as a result of interpersonal and structural discrimination,” researchers wrote online June 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Overall, 67,150 survey respondents were heterosexual, 525 lesbian, 624 gay and 515 bisexual. The

average age was about 47.

Gilbert Gonzales of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville and colleagues found that compared to heterosexual women, lesbians were 91 percent more likely to report poor or fair health. Lesbians were 51 percent more likely, and bisexual women were more than twice as likely, to report multiple chronic conditions, compared to straight women.

Gay, lesbian and bisexual people were also more likely than hetero-

sexuals to report heavy drinking and smoking.

While gays and lesbians reported worse psychological distress than heterosexuals, bisexual people suffered the most, the survey showed.

For example, about 17 percent of heterosexual men had at least moderate psychological distress, compared to about 26 percent of gay men and about 40 percent of bisexual men.

Similarly, about 22 percent of

heterosexual women had at least moderate psychological distress, compared to about 28 percent of lesbian women and about 46 percent of bisexual women.

Gonzales told Reuters Health that the health disparities are likely due to the stress of being a minority, which is likely exacerbated among bisexual people, who may not be accepted by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

“While there aren’t that many studies focusing on bisexual adults, previous studies have indicated they’re probably at greater risk,” he said.

Other factors too, along with socalled minority stress, may account for health differences between heterosexuals and lesbian, gay and bisexual people, Gonzales said.

For example, he said, survey respondents may not have had access to marriage, which wasn’t legalized at the federal level in the U.S. until 2015.

“It will be interesting to see how legal same-sex marriage will affect these health disparities,” Gonzales said.

In a note published with the study, Dr. Mitchell Katz says the disparities may decrease with the growing acceptance of sexual minority populations.

“Health care professionals can help by creating environments that are inclusive and supportive of sexual minority patients,” writes Katz, who is an editor of the journal.

“In caring for people who have experienced bias and discrimination, support is a very potent medicine,” he writes.

“It’s important that all our federal surveys begin to collect sexual orientation status and gender identity,” said Gonzales. “This kind of work would not be (possible) if the question wasn’t asked.” (rtr)

Raid of the BPOM finds textile dyes used as cake coloring

AMLAPURA - The Denpasar Agency of Food and Drug Control (BBPOM) did a raid for two consecutive days, Monday (Jun. 27) and Tuesday (Jun. 28) to cake merchants at the market. In the examination of cakes or pastries sold at East Amlapura traditional market, it found two types of harmful dyes. A red dye normally used for textile or fabric dye is even used for snacks. It was announced by the Chief of the BBPOM Denpasar, Endang Widowati, after the inspection.

In the meantime, her staff, the Inspection and Investigation Division Head, Eka Ratnata, when met ahead of the meeting with the Head of the Amlapura District Court conveyed that the red dye found belongs to crimson and there is also a yellow dye. The crimson has typical bright red. It is made from artificial coloring. “Red or crimson dye is considered harmful if consumed because it contains Rhodamine B chemical compound. This Rhodamine dye cannot be used at all. Actually there is a type of dye that can be safely used for snack or cake, in liquid form,” he said.

The products with harmful dyes were found in the snacks like jaja mako and jaja gipang.

According to Eka, the Industry and Trade Agency has been asked to submit the findings. “Just now (yesterday—Ed) the Industry and Trade Agency was already asked to come to the location of producers so that they will no longer use such hazardous artificial colorings,” he said.

Related to the finding of jaja mako and jaja gipang made from red dye, the BBPOM already secured the sample. It inspected ten

merchants and the snack samples have been taken. Eka and Widowati expected that people must be careful to consume food of artificial coloring. He also stressed that producers must find the right information about the ingredients of their nacks, so as not to harm consumers in terms of health in the long term. “Such artificial red dye is usually used for dyeing paper or cloth,” said Eka. Widowati said that the BBPOM team coming down to the field last Tuesday consisted of seven people.

In the meantime, the other team is from Karangasem denoting a joint team consisting of the Industry and Trade Agency, Economic Section, Food Security Office and Health Agency.

Widowati conveyed that in the inspection to sample of takjil on Monday afternoon (Jun. 27) at Senggol Market on Jalan Gajah Mada Amlapura found if the takjil ingredients are still safe. She considered that ahead of the feast is prone to circulation of foodstuff that can harm health. In addition, people should watch out expired parcels.

Widowati and Eka told that they have provided coaching for retailers selling snacks with two types of harmful dyes. The merchants admitted not to know if they sell snacks containing Rhodamine B hazardous dye. The merchants admitted if they are only entrusted by the makers at villages.

“In the coaching, we have asked the merchants to no longer sell cakes or snacks containing hazardous dyes. We’ll check again, if they remain to sell the banned products, it will be certainly taken an action,” said Eka. (013)

Binge-eating disorder can be treated with talk therapy or drugs

NORTH CAROLINA - People with recurring episodes of bingeeating can be helped with talk therapy or medication, according to a new review of previous studies.

People with binge-eating disorder have brief, psychologically distressing binge-eating episodes multiple times a week for at least three months. The disorder is linked to mental health problems, chronic pain, obesity and diabetes, the researchers write in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Binge-eating disorder will affect about 3 percent of people in

the U.S. during their lifetimes, according to lead author Kimberly Brownley, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her colleagues.

Brownley’s team analyzed data from nine studies of psychological treatments and 25 studies of medications in patients with bingeeating disorder.

A type of psychotherapy called cognitive behavioral therapy, a class of drugs known as secondgeneration antidepressants and the amphetamine known as lisdexamfetamine, or Vyvanse, all helped

reduce binge-eating, the researchers found.

The medications also reduced obsessions and compulsions related to the disorder.

CBT can teach people to identify thoughts associated with bingeeating, and help them change their behaviors, Brownley said.

Additionally, lisdexamfetamine and second-generation antidepressants can help decrease people’s impulses to eat.

Examples of second-generation antidepressants include citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro),

fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). The study can’t prove whether one second-generation antidepressant is better than the others, however.

Lisdexamfetamine and topiramate (Topamax) also led to weight loss among people with bingeeating disorders.

“We can’t say if any of these treatments is fundamentally better than the other,” Brownley said.

“There have been no head-to-head (comparisons) and that’s really essential.”

The review shows, however, that

treatments are available and people don’t have to suffer through the disorder alone, she added.

In an editorial accompanying the new review, Dr. Michael Devlin, of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City says doctors can have a hard time recognizing binge-eating disorder.

“Greater than expected weight dissatisfaction, large weight fluctuations, and depressive symptoms in individuals of any size all should raise the practitioner’s index of suspicion,” he suggests. (rtr)

Municipal govt issues mayoral regulation on waste management

Waste handling problems have drawn the attention of Denpasar’s municipal government.

DENPASAR - Waste handling problems have drawn the attention of Denpasar’s municipal government. According to Denpasar Mayoral Regulation No.11/2016 on waste management in Denpasar, the Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP) -who previously managed waste, will be now handing over this responsibility to each village to handle independently.

Head of DKP Denpasar, Ketut Wisada, when asked for his confirmation on Tuesday (Jun. 28) said that based on the mayoral regulation, starting on July 1, 2016 people in Denpasar are no longer allowed to put their garbage on telajakan (space between road section and house compound wall), sidewalks or on the street.

Communities are required to independently dispose of their waste in temporary landfills or join independent waste management available at the local village or nearby village. “Violators will be subject to appropriate sanctions as per Regional Bylaw No. 3/2015 on sanitation, namely a maximum fine of IDR 50 million or three months in prison”, said Wisada.

Currently his agency is still disseminating information on the newly-issued mayoral regulation.

“People who live far form the garbage depots are expected to join the independent waste management program, while those living close to the depot are expected to dispose of their garbage directly” he explained.

With this mayoral regulation, hamlet chief and headman will have the additional task of establishing an independent waste management group that will take and transport the waste from temporary landfills by tricycles or cart. The DKP will then take the garbage from these temporary landfills to the final landfill.

Member of Commission III of

the Denpasar House of Representatives, Wayan Suwirya, recently said that he was worried about the hamlet-based waste management program. The main obstacle is the lack of available space for temporary landfills “Although it does not require an extensive land area, if the land is not available, nothing can be done” said this Golkar politician.

A similar opinion was disclosed by member of Commission IV, Wayan Sugiarta. He pointed out that the waste depot on Jalan Pulau Kawe has often been complained about by the local community. Depsite this, it cannot be moved due to lack of space in the area.

Another legislator who also manages a waste depot at Peguyangan Kaja, Wayan Sutama, said that it requires about 500-1,000 square meters for the waste management including sorting plastic and organic garbage.

If however the garbage is only being deposited temporarily in fact less space is required. (kmb12)

The operation centered in front of the office of Sukadana village confiscated a pickup truck with license plate DK 9746 AK. The car driven

by I Gede Murdika, 41, from Bantes hamlet, Bulian, Buleleng was caught carrying a total of 16 jerrycans of alcohol. Each jerrycan contains 30 liters of alcohol belonging to arrack, bringing the total to 480 liters.

After the revocation of regional bylaw governing the alcohol, police then implement the Law No. 36/2009 on Health. In the Article 111 paragraph (6) and paragraph (1) is affirmed that the food and drink for public consumption must comply with the standards and or health requirements. Otherwise, it is not allowed to circulate and must be withdrawn from circulation. Fur-

In addition, Chief Sugeng Sudarso affirmed that police also apply the Law No.8/1999 on Consumer Protection. Thus, the evidence can be destroyed as soon as possible after making coordination with the Prosecutor’s Office and the District Court without going through the court process.

He also added that the follow up of the Law on Health and Consumer Protection regarding the alcohol at a whole will make cooperation with the National Agency of Food and Drug Control (BPOM). (kmb31)

Sudiarta added and non-commissioned officers will come down to the field to give guidance and dissemination indirectly to people at villages. “However, before coming down to the field, the officers should be equipped with knowledge about drug hazards. So, when performing their tasks they can better understand. The community is also easy to understand the messages conveyed. They are expected to avoid drug abuse,” he said. (kmb34)

As Duterte takes over in Philippines, police killings stir fear

MANILA - Two things catch the eye in the office of Joselito Esquivel, a police colonel enforcing a national crackdown on drugs in the Philippines’ most crime-ridden district: a pair of boxing gloves in a display cabinet and an M4 assault rifle lying beside him.

“It’s all-out war,” the Quezon City officer says of a spike in killings of suspected drug dealers by police across the country since last month’s election of Rodrigo Duterte, a tough-talking city mayor, as the country’s president. “Duterte has already given the impetus for this massive operation.”

Duterte has vowed to wipe out drug crime within six months but, according to Chito Gascon, head of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), the aggressive rhetoric behind his promises has already instilled a sense of impunity among the police.

“Basically, you have Mr. Duterte saying: ‘It’s okay, I’ve got your back’,” said Gascon.

On average, at least one person has been shot dead by police or anonymous vigilantes every day since the May 9 election that swept Duterte to power, an escalation from the first four months of the year when the rate was about two a week. Handwritten warning signs have been left on some corpses.

Duterte, who will be inaugurated on Thursday for a six-year term, has cheered the police on: after a druglord was killed in a northern province recently, he travelled there to congratulate them and hand over a reward worth about $6,000.

Critics, including leaders of the

influential Roman Catholic church and human rights advocates, fear a spiral of violence could lie ahead for the Philippines if vigilantism and summary executions become an accepted norm after Duterte takes office.

“My concern is that instead of law and order, what we will see is lawlessness and fear,” said Gascon.

“What will result is an increase in the body-bag count.”

On Monday, Duterte branded as “stupid” human rights groups and lawmakers who have complained about his draconian plans to crush crime and re-introduce the death penalty.

“When you kill someone, rape, you should die,” he told his last public meeting as mayor of Davao City, where death squads have killed hundreds of drug-pushers, petty criminals and even street children since 1998, according to rights groups.

Duterte denies any involvement in the vigilante killings.

A political outsider whose coarse defiance of the traditional ruling class has drawn comparisons with Donald Trump, Duterte has even figured in commentaries on Britain’s vote to leave the European Union as an example of a global trend towards populism triumphing over the establishment. (rtr)

Members of India’s LGBT (Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Transgenders) community hold a rainbow flag during a parade in Gurgaon on the outskirts of New Delhi, India, Saturday, June 25, 2016. The walk was organized demanding social acceptance and equal rights.

NEW DELHI - India’s Supreme Court refused on Wednesday to hear a petition challenging a law criminalising gay sex, a setback for gay rights activists battling in the country’s courts to get the ban overturned.

A number of well-known lesbian, gay and bisexual Indians had argued that Section 377 of India’s penal code, which prohibits “carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal”, undermined their fundamental rights by failing to protect their sexual p7references.

“The Supreme Court refused to hear the matter and asked the petitioners to approach the Chief

Justice of India,” Arvind Dattar, a lawyer for one of the petitioners, told Reuters.

India’s chief justice is already hearing a separate case to strike down the ban, and India’s top court has previously argued that only parliament has the power to change Section 377.

The decision is the latest setback India’s gay community has faced in its fight to get a prohibition on homosexual sex overturned ever since the Supreme Court reinstated a colonial-era ban in late 2013.

That ban ended a four-year period of decriminalisation that had helped bring homosexuality increasingly out into the open in a

deeply conservative society.

Discrimination faced by homosexual communities across the world was thrown into sharp relief again this month after a gunman slaughtered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida.

Some Western countries have pressured India to overturn its ban on gay sex and respect human rights regardless of sexual orientation.

This month U.S. Ambassador Richard Verma’s residence in New Delhi’s leafy diplomatic quarter was lit in the colours of the rainbow in a gesture of solidarity towards victims of the Orlando massacre.

Violation of the Indian law on gay sex can result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years. (rtr)

Division, confusion as EU rethinks future without Britain

BRUSSELS — EU leaders met Wednesday without Britain for the first time to rethink their shaken union, make it more relevant to citizens and keep it from disintegrating after Britain’s unprecedented vote to leave — but conflicting visions of Europe’s future are complicating the highstakes summit.

British Prime Minister David Cameron left Brussels on Tuesday night without any clear divorce plan, fending off pressure for a quick exit and punting the complex departure negotiations to his successor.

In Britain, nominations opened Wednesday for a new Conservative leader to replace him after his devastating political miscalculation in calling last week’s referendum.

With Britain’s fate in Europe uncertain, the 27 remaining presidents, chancellors and prime ministers meeting in Brussels are focusing Wednesday on what to do about the rest of the continent.

There’s a widespread sense that the post-war project to foster peace via trade has become a bureaucratic, undemocratic behemoth with little meaning for its 500 million citizens.

“We all need to wake up and smell the coffee,” Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said.

“We have to show that Europe brings a real added value that can be felt by our fellow citizens,” Belgian’s Prime Minister Charles Michel said.

They all seem to agree that something must change after frustrations built up to the point that Britain quit, but disagree about how. The initial EU founding nations in the west lean toward a tighter, closer union while newer nations in the east want to keep more control with national governments — notably of their borders.

Other EU countries are now facing calls, especially from the nationalist far right, for referendums on quitting the bloc. Popular French far-right leader Marine Le Pen pressed unpopular President Francois Hollande in a weekend meeting for such a vote in France, but his government has rejected the idea.

The 27 remaining EU members are especially divided over how to

French President Francois Hollande, center, arrives for a round table meeting at an EU summit in Brussels on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. European Union leaders are meeting without Britain for the first time since the British referendum to rethink their bloc and keep it from disintegrating after Britain’s unprecedented vote to leave. deal with migration, a major issue in Britain’s vote last week. Central European nations led by Hungary refuse to accept imposed EU refugee quotas, and countries further north have all tightened border controls in response to the arrival of more than 1 million migrants last year.

Britain is more concerned about EU immigration, since its strong economy draws hundreds of thousands of workers from other EU nations.

Britain’s departure will also shift the balance of power within the EU, handing more weight to Germany’s Merkel and emboldening eastern countries such as Poland that want a greater voice in the EU. The bloc depends on consensus, so has long relied on trade-offs and compro-

mise between countries with very different approaches to what they want out of Europe.

The shock British vote has roiled markets and had impact on Europe and beyond, and overshadowed all the discussions Wednesday in Brussels, because it will rob the EU of its richest financial market, biggest military power and a diplomatic giant. It could also prompt an unraveling of the UK. Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon met Wednesday in Brussels with European Parliament President Martin Schulz and is meeting later with the leader of the EU executive, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Scottish voters overwhelmingly chose to remain in the European Union but were drowned out by English vot-

ers. Sturgeon has indicated there may be a new referendum on Scottish independence.

“It was a good opportunity for me to set out Scotland’s position and Scotland’s desire to remain within the European Union and to protect our relationship with the European Union,” Sturgeon said after meeting Schulz, but added, “I don’t underestimate the challenges that lie ahead for us seeking to find a path.”

Watching Britain’s turmoil, Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said, “With a disunited United Kingdom, we need a united Europe more than ever.”

In London, nominations opened Wednesday to replace Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party, with Work and Pensions Secretary

Stephen Crabb the first official contender. Former London Mayor Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Theresa May are also expected to run.

At Tuesday night’s summit dinner, EU leaders rejected Cameron’s pleas for favorable conditions for Britain once it leaves, insisting there would be no cherry-picking of advantageous trade conditions without respecting the free movement of people.

Merkel dismissed suggestions that Cameron’s successor might not start the formal EU withdrawal process because of the financial turmoil prompted by the vote and wide confusion about how to extract a country from the EU. “I see no way to reverse it,” Merkel said.

She said this is not the time for “wishful thinking.”(ap)

The police have not received a report of Indonesians falling victim to the blast, chief of the National Polices public relations division Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar stated here on Wednesday.

Boy said the police will inform the public of the condition of Indonesian citizens in Turkey based on a report from the Foreign Ministry.

The Indonesian embassy in Turkey had

earlier called on Indonesian citizens in the country to increase vigil in the wake of the bomb attack.

Indonesian citizens should continue to carry out their routine activities and avoid crowded places to anticipate subsequent bomb attacks.

Nearly 728 Indonesians currently live in Turkey, of which 310 are students, while the

rest are migrant workers.

Reuters reported that three suicide bombers had opened fire before blowing themselves up at the entrance to the main international airport in Istanbul on Tuesday, killing 28 people and wounding dozens more, the provincial governor stated.

The police fired shots in an attempt to stop two of the attackers just before they reached a security checkpoint at the arrival hall at Ataturk airport, Europes third-busiest, but they blew themselves up, the news agency quoted a second Turkish official as saying.(ant)

Indonesia’s Parliament passes new tax amnesty bill JAKARTA — Indonesia’s Parliament passed a tax amnesty law on Tuesday aimed at drawing billions of dollars from wealthy Indonesians abroad and from tax evaders at home to help finance infrastructure and boost economic growth.

The law, which takes effect next month, grants special tax rates of 2 percent to 10 percent to tax evaders who declare their past earnings, compared to normal personal income tax rates of 5 to 30 percent.

Enterprises with up to 10 billion rupiah ($757,700) in assets will enjoy a 0.5 percent rate, while those with greater assets will be levied a 2 percent rate. Normal business tax rates are as high as 25 percent.

People and companies that declare their earnings and pay the special taxes will not be penalized for having failed to declare them before.

Those with wealth abroad who repatriate it from July to September will enjoy a 2 percent tax rate, those who return it by December will receive a 3 percent rate, and those who return it

by March 31, 2017, a 5 percent rate.

Those declaring assets abroad without repatriating them to Indonesia will be levied 4 percent, 6 percent and 10 percent tax rates for the same periods.

Indonesia, a country of more than 250 million people, has only about 30 million registered taxpayers.

Bank Indonesia, the country’s central bank, has estimated that Indonesians have about $43 billion in undeclared assets overseas.

Minister of Finance Bambang Brodjonegoro said the tax amnesty is expected to draw about 165 trillion rupiah ($12.5 billion) for the government.(ap)

Indonesia to step up oil exploration, fishing in South China Sea waters

JAKARTA - Indonesia’s president on Wednesday ordered an expansion of offshore oil exploration and commercial fishing in the waters near the Natuna Islands, the latest in a new campaign to assert sovereignty over the area in the South China Sea. Indonesia has taken unprecedented steps in the past week to lay claim to the remote island chain, whose gas-rich waters Beijing recently said were subject to “overlapping claims”.

President Joko Widodo travelled to Natuna for the first time last week

to hold a cabinet meeting aboard a warship, in what Indonesian officials described as the strongest message that has been given to China.

“Out of 16 blocks around Natuna, only five are producing,” Widodo said before a cabinet meeting to discuss development of the area. “We want to push so that they enter production stage sooner.”

The East Natuna gas field, being co-developed by state-owned Pertamina, Exxon Mobil Corp, Total SA and PTT Exploration and Produciton, is believed to hold one

of the world’s largest untapped gas reserves.

ConocoPhillips and Chevron Corp also hold stakes in the nearby South Natuna Sea Block B, but are looking to sell their stakes.

“Essentially, we want the Natuna area to be a hub for gas processing and related industries,” said Rizal Ramli, coordinating minister for maritime affairs.

The government also wants to develop Indonesia’s commercial fishing industry in Natuna, whose waters are regularly trawled by vessels from Vietnam, the Philippines,

China and other nearby nations.

Widodo said current fishing production around Natuna was only around 9 percent of its potential.

Indonesia’s navy has stepped up patrols around the islands after a series of face-offs between Indonesian naval vessels and Chinese fishing boats in the area.

Parliament on Tuesday approved a near 10 percent hike in defence spending to fund, among other things, major upgrades to military facilities in Natuna, located off the northwest coast of Borneo island.

Jakarta objects to Beijing’s in-

clusion of waters around the Natuna Islands within China’s “nine-dash line”, a demarcation line used by Beijing to show its claims.

“We do not recognise China’s nine-dash line and its claims of a traditional fishing zone,” said Chief Security Minister Luhut Pandjaitan.

“Natuna is our territory. We want stability in the area.”

China claims almost the entire South China Sea, where about $5 trillion worth of trade passes every year. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.(rtr)

EU’s Juncker to meet Scottish leader after UK says leaving EU

BRUSSELS - Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon made a dash to Brussels on Wednesday to tell the EU that Scots were intent on staying in the bloc, hours after David Cameron told a summit that Britain was pulling out.

“This is very much an initial meeting, a series of meetings in Brussels today, so that people understand that Scotland, unlike other parts, of the United Kingdom does not want to leave the European Union,” Sturgeon told reporters after meeting European Parliament President Martin Schulz.

“I don’t want to underestimate the challenges that lie ahead.”

Schulz said he had “listened and learned”.

Later in the day, the pro-independence Scottish leader will meet the head of the EU executive, European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, and may try to probe the -- hitherto flimsy -- options a breakaway Scotland might have to

somehow remain in the European Union once the United Kingdom completes its Brexit.

Juncker’s decision to roll out the red carpet for her on the day the 27 other EU leaders held their first meeting without Britain was seen by some diplomats as an attempt to pressure London to hand in its formal notice to quit.

There were no immediate plans for Sturgeon to meet of the national leaders still gathered at the summit after Cameron left overnight and European Council President Donald Tusk, the summit chairman, pointedly declined her request to meet him.

There has been a surge in sympathy around Europe for the 5.5 million Scots after nearly

International

two-thirds of them voted in last week’s UK referendum to stay in the EU, only to see the English, ten times more numerous, vote 52-48 percent for Brexit.

But EU officials have stressed, as they did before Scots voted against independence in a referendum in 2014, that Scotland could not apply to, let alone join, the Union until it had become a sovereign state. Senior officials have dismissed the notion that Scotland could take over the empty British chair at the European Council table.

With the EU facing years of uncertainty in negotiating the withdrawal of its second-biggest economy, the Scottish factor is a complication most governments would rather avoid. Spain wary of encouraging its own Catalan separatists, and some other states could block any Scottish accession. (rtr)

The migrant ship that sank off Sicily last year with an estimated 700 people onboard is being recovered by the Italian Navy, Tuesday, June 28, 2016. The navy says it’s raised the boat toward the surface from a depth of more than 1200 feet. The wreck is being kept in a refrigerated transport structure for the trip back to land, where forensic experts will begin trying to identify the victims.

Italy raises wreck of migrant boat that sank, killing hundreds, in 2015

ROME - Italy has begun raising the wreck of a fishing boat that sank in April 2015, drowning hundreds of migrants packed on board, its navy said on Wednesday.

The disaster is feared to have killed up to 800 people, making it one of the deadliest shipwrecks in decades of seaborne migration from North Africa towards Europe. The navy has recovered 118 bodies, but hundreds of corpses are believed to be trapped below deck, where survivors said migrants including many women and children were locked.

Navy video footage showed a large yellow frame-like apparatus attached to a ship being lowered into the water to a depth of about 370 metres (1,200

feet), where it gripped on to the wreck.

Recovery coordinators applauded from their control room as the raising began.

The hulk will now be placed in a 30-metre-long refrigerated structure while emergency services start recovering bodies from inside. Experts will examine and try to identify the victims.

The vessel sank about 135 km (85 miles) north of Libya, from where it departed, and will be taken to the port of Augusta in eastern Sicily.

Public outrage at the disaster, in which only 28 people are known to have survived, prompted the European Union to restore rescue operations in the Mediterranean. (rtr)

“He was wearing all black. His face was not masked ... We ducked behind a counter but I stood up and watched him. Two explosions went off shortly after one another. By that time he had stopped shooting,” Roos told Reuters.

“He turned around and started coming towards us. He was holding his gun inside his jacket. He looked around anxiously to see if anyone was going to stop him and then went down the escalator ... We heard some more gunfire and then another explosion, and then it was over.”

The attack bore similarities to a suicide bombing by Islamic State militants at Brussels airport in March that killed 16 people. A coordinated attack also targeted a rush-hour metro train, killing a further 16 people in the Belgian capital.

Islamic State militants also claimed gun and bomb attacks that killed 129 people in Paris last November “In Istanbul they used a combination of the methods employed in Paris and Brussels. They planned a murder that would maximize fear and loss of life,” said Suleyman Ozeren, a terrorism expert at the Ankara-based Global Policy and Strategy Institute.

Turkey needs to work harder on “preventative intelligence” to stop militants being radicalised in the first place, he said. (rtr)

Istanbul’s position bridging Europe and Asia has made Ataturk airport, Turkey’s largest, a major transit hub for passengers across the world. The Istanbul governor’s office said 109 of the 239 people hospitalised had since been discharged.

“There were little babies crying, people shouting, broken glass and blood all over the floor. It was very crowded, there was chaos. It was traumatic,” said Diana Eltner, 29, a Swiss psychologist who was travelling from Zurich to Vietnam but had been diverted to Istanbul after she missed a connection.

Delayed travellers were sleeping on floors at the airport, a Reuters witness said, as some passengers and airport staff cried and hugged each other. Police in kevlar vests with automatic weapons prowled the kerbside as a handful of travellers and Turkish Airlines crew trickled in.

The national carrier said it had cancelled 340 flights although its departures resumed after 8:00 am (0500 GMT). Paul Roos, 77, a South African tourist on his way home, said he saw one of the attackers “randomly shooting” in the departures hall from about 50 metres (55 yards) away.

Number one golfer Day withdraws over Zika

SYDNEY - World number one Jason Day became the latest top golfer to withdraw from August’s Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games because of the Zika virus on Tuesday.

Golf is returning to the Olympics for the first time since 1904, but a number of big names, including four-times major champion Rory McIlroy, Fiji’s Vijay Singh and Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, have also pulled out due to Zika concerns.

The mosquito-borne Zika virus, which the World Health Organization says is spreading rapidly in the Americas, can cause crippling defects in babies and has been linked to the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre in adults.

“The reason for my decision is my concerns about the possible transmission of the Zika virus and the potential risks that it may present to my wife’s future pregnancies and to future members of our family,” Australian Day, 28, said in a statement.

“While it has always been a major goal to compete in the Olympics on behalf of my country, playing golf cannot take precedent over the safety of our family. I will not place them at risk.”

The decision mean Australia’s top three golfers have now withdrawn their names from consideration for the Games with world number eight Adam Scott blaming his busy schedule and Marc Leishman, who is ranked 39th in the world, also citing Zika.

“We respect Jason’s decision,” the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) said in a statement. “He is a family man and he has put his family first.”

Ireland’s Shane Lowry, the world number 25 who finished joint runner-up in this month’s U.S. Open, also withdrew on Tuesday and said his decision was based on firm medical advice.

“While I am bitterly disappointed to be missing out on that experience and the opportunity to win an Olympic medal for Ireland, on this occasion I have to put my family’s welfare first,” said Lowry who recently married.

Ireland Olympic golf team captain Paul McGinley said the withdrawals were not good for the image of the sport.

“I agree it doesn’t particularly reflect well on golfers when they seem to be the only ones withdrawing but when it is for their own personal reasons, we have to respect that,” he told national Irish broadcaster RTE. “The risk is very, very, very small but ultimately it’s a risk they’re not willing to take.”

The Rio Olympics, the first in South America, take place from Aug.5-21. (rtr)

SYDNEY - Australia’s Olympic sprint hurdles champion Sally Pearson said she was ‘gutted’ after a hamstring tendon tear she picked up in training forced her to pull out of the Rio de Janeiro Games on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old, who won gold in the 100 metres hurdles at the London Olympics, had battled back after being sidelined for a year by a shattered wrist only to suffer the hamstring injury training at her base on the Gold Coast.

“It’s a hard time for me at the moment. I’m disappointed and I’m gutted,” Pearson told AusREUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett/File Photo tralia’s Nine Network on Wednesday.

Sally Pearson of Australia celebrates after winning the gold medal in the “Unfortunately, it is the biggest sporting event women’s 100m hurdles at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, in the world that I am going to be missing out on and I can’t be a part of.

can’t be at Rio as the Olympic champ.”

Pearson’s hopes of defending her title at the Aug. 5-21 Games had looked slim after a fall at the Golden Gala meeting in Rome last year shattered her wrist so badly, she feared her left forearm might need to be amputated.

The 2011 world champion, who also won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, missed the back end of the 2015 season as a result of the fall and only returned to racing in Europe early this month.

Her results in three races in Birmingham, France and Oslo were disappointing, however, and she returned for a period of intense training in the warmer climes of her hometown on the Queensland coast. (rtr)

Sp rt From president to social media, Argentina wants Messi back

BUENOS AIRES — The president of Argentina said Tuesday he hopes to meet Lionel Messi next week and convince him to return to the national team.

Macri said he told Messi to “ignore some of the nonsense because, truth be told, we are all very happy” with how the Barcelona star has played for Argentina. Messi, who moved to Barcelona at age 13, has often faced tough criticism in Argentina because

he has failed to deliver the country a major title — in contrast to his repeated success at Barcelona.

He is often compared unfavorably to Maradona, who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title. Macri said he didn’t understand the criticism of Messi. “The truth is that it’s good

Children stand by the statue of soccer star Lionel Messi shortly after it was unveiled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, June 28, 2016. Fans, players, and even Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri and the country’s greatest player Diego Maradona have asked Messi to reconsider his decision to resign from the national team after losing the Copa America final to Chile.

fortune, a joy, a gift from God to have the best player in the world in a country like ours that is so footballcrazy,” said Macri, a former president of Argentine club Boca Juniors.

Macri’s lobbying could be helped by a gathering planned Saturday at the obelisk in central Buenos Aires, the city’s most famous landmark.

Support for Messi has been overwhelming on social media with sports figures, artists and politicians urging him to return. Billboards and signs across the city are also asking him to stay. In the midst of the turmoil, the Buenos Aires city hall unveiled a statue of Messi — with a football at his foot — alongside other national sports stars.

In another show of support, some members of Argentina’s 1986 World Cup team posed for a photograph that contained a written plea: “Don’t Go Lio.” Maradona, the biggest star on that team, was not in the photo.

TV commentators have speculated that Messi spoke out in frustration after Sunday’s 4-2 loss on penalties to Chile following a scoreless draw.

“The national team is over for me,” Messi told Argentine network TyC Sports. “It’s been four finals, it’s not meant for me. I tried. It was the thing I wanted the most, but I couldn’t get it, so I think it’s over.”

It didn’t help that Messi himself lifted Argentina’s first penalty kick over the crossbar, setting the stage for another final defeat. Messi and Argentina lost to Brazil in the 2007 Copa final and to Germany in extra time in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil. They lost last year’s Copa final to host Chile on penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw. (ap)

Montella named as new AC Milan manager

AC Milan have appointed former Fiorentina and Sampdoria boss Vincenzo Montella as their new manager on a two-year contract, the Serie A club said on their website on Tuesday.

The 42-year-old will begin work with the Italian side from July 1 and will replace Cristian Brocchi, who took charge on an interim basis after Sinisa Mihajlovic was sacked in April. The former striker has also managed at Catania after a playing career that took him to

Empoli, Genoa, Sampdoria and AS Roma, as well as a brief loan spell at English side Fulham in 2007.

Montella, who took over at Sampdoria last November and led them to 15th in Serie A, represented Italy 20 times between 1999 and 2005, scoring three times for his country.

“It is the belief of the club that the style of play of the new Rossoneri coach will be the basis of an important, fruitful and positive collaboration,” the club said in a

statement on their website (www. acmilan.com).

“Heartfelt thanks to Cristian Brocchi for the enthusiasm, preparation and intensity with which he approached his career as Milan coach with the youth sides and the first team.”

Milan, who lost to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final last month, finished seventh in the league last season and will miss out on Europe for a third successive campaign. (rtr)

Hodgson reluctantly faces music after seismic Iceland loss CHANTILLY — The day after the night before, the confusion and pain from the seismic defeat that cost Roy Hodgson his job as manager of England was still written large on his craggy face.

But, to his credit, Hodgson didn’t hide away. Feeling “very fragile,” Hodgson reluctantly appeared for one last England news conference on Tuesday, against his better instincts.

All that Hodgson wanted to say about his team’s 2-1 loss to Iceland the previous night in the European Championship round-of-16 had been said, he felt, in his resignation statement immediately after the defeat that sent England out of a major tournament early, yet again.

But he also didn’t want anyone to think that he was frightened to face the music. So he roused himself for the TV cameras and assembled journalists at the chateau north of Paris where England, briefly, set up base.

“I don’t really know what I’m doing here,” Hodgson said. “But I was told that it was important for everybody that I appear and I guess that is partly because people are still smarting from our poor performance.” “I suppose someone has to stand and take the slings and arrows,” he added.

While critics agreed that England played appallingly, they disagreed on just how badly the defeat ranked in England’s sorry history of underperforming at major tournaments. For some, it was the worst loss ever. For others, just the worst in a generation. “I’m very fragile today. It wasn’t a good night, for anyone,” Hodgson said.

“I was not forced to come here. I did so because I have never shirked

a press conference, because I have never run away from anybody,” he said. “So much is going to be written about our failure to get to the quarterfinals that nothing I can say would do anything other than fuel the flames, possibly.”

He insisted, however, that his players showed “good signs of good football” in three group stage games before they melted — Hodgson called it a “one-off” — against Iceland’s team drawn from a tiny pool of professional players among the island’s 330,000 people.

“One particularly bad game has caused a lot of damage,” Hodgson said, adding that the loss could weigh on England’s young team going forward. “They’ve got a major bridge to repair,” he said.

The England Football Association’s CEO, Martin Glenn, said the post-failure inquest, the latest of many, must fathom out why the nation that invented the laws of football repeatedly stalls early, with the World Cup in 1966 its only major tournament win.

“It’s a national imperative that we become more resilient,” he said.

“England seem brittle and we need to understand why.”

Glenn, too, clutched at positives, saying England became “a much stronger team” during Hodgson’s

four years in charge. “Iceland is not your epitaph,” he told Hodgson.

And he rejected the idea that England’s players didn’t care enough to win. Glenn said he

visited the England dressing room after the defeat and “the scene was devastation and personal grief.”

“This hurts,” he said. “This is not about a lack of passion.” (ap)

Number one golfer Day withdraws over Zika

SYDNEY - World number one Jason Day became the latest top golfer to withdraw from August’s Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games because of the Zika virus on Tuesday.

Golf is returning to the Olympics for the first time since 1904, but a number of big names, including four-times major champion Rory McIlroy, Fiji’s Vijay Singh and Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, have also pulled out due to Zika concerns.

The mosquito-borne Zika virus, which the World Health Organization says is spreading rapidly in the Americas, can cause crippling defects in babies and has been linked to the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre in adults.

“The reason for my decision is my concerns about the possible transmission of the Zika virus and the potential risks that it may present to my wife’s future pregnancies and to future members of our family,” Australian Day, 28, said in a statement.

“While it has always been a major goal to compete in the Olympics on behalf of my country, playing golf cannot take precedent over the safety of our family. I will not place them at risk.”

The decision mean Australia’s top three golfers have now withdrawn their names from consideration for the Games with world number eight Adam Scott blaming his busy schedule and Marc Leishman, who is ranked 39th in the world, also citing Zika.

“We respect Jason’s decision,” the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) said in a statement. “He is a family man and he has put his family first.”

Ireland’s Shane Lowry, the world number 25 who finished joint runner-up in this month’s U.S. Open, also withdrew on Tuesday and said his decision was based on firm medical advice.

“While I am bitterly disappointed to be missing out on that experience and the opportunity to win an Olympic medal for Ireland, on this occasion I have to put my family’s welfare first,” said Lowry who recently married.

Ireland Olympic golf team captain Paul McGinley said the withdrawals were not good for the image of the sport.

“I agree it doesn’t particularly reflect well on golfers when they seem to be the only ones withdrawing but when it is for their own personal reasons, we have to respect that,” he told national Irish broadcaster RTE. “The risk is very, very, very small but ultimately it’s a risk they’re not willing to take.”

The Rio Olympics, the first in South America, take place from Aug.5-21. (rtr)

SYDNEY - Australia’s Olympic sprint hurdles champion Sally Pearson said she was ‘gutted’ after a hamstring tendon tear she picked up in training forced her to pull out of the Rio de Janeiro Games on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old, who won gold in the 100 metres hurdles at the London Olympics, had battled back after being sidelined for a year by a shattered wrist only to suffer the hamstring injury training at her base on the Gold Coast.

“It’s a hard time for me at the moment. I’m disappointed and I’m gutted,” Pearson told AusREUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett/File Photo tralia’s Nine Network on Wednesday.

Sally Pearson of Australia celebrates after winning the gold medal in the “Unfortunately, it is the biggest sporting event women’s 100m hurdles at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, in the world that I am going to be missing out on and I can’t be a part of.

can’t be at Rio as the Olympic champ.”

Pearson’s hopes of defending her title at the Aug. 5-21 Games had looked slim after a fall at the Golden Gala meeting in Rome last year shattered her wrist so badly, she feared her left forearm might need to be amputated.

The 2011 world champion, who also won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, missed the back end of the 2015 season as a result of the fall and only returned to racing in Europe early this month.

Her results in three races in Birmingham, France and Oslo were disappointing, however, and she returned for a period of intense training in the warmer climes of her hometown on the Queensland coast. (rtr)

EU’s Juncker to meet Scottish leader after UK says leaving EU

BRUSSELS - Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon made a dash to Brussels on Wednesday to tell the EU that Scots were intent on staying in the bloc, hours after David Cameron told a summit that Britain was pulling out.

“This is very much an initial meeting, a series of meetings in Brussels today, so that people understand that Scotland, unlike other parts, of the United Kingdom does not want to leave the European Union,” Sturgeon told reporters after meeting European Parliament President Martin Schulz.

“I don’t want to underestimate the challenges that lie ahead.”

Schulz said he had “listened and learned”.

Later in the day, the pro-independence Scottish leader will meet the head of the EU executive, European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, and may try to probe the -- hitherto flimsy -- options a breakaway Scotland might have to

somehow remain in the European Union once the United Kingdom completes its Brexit.

Juncker’s decision to roll out the red carpet for her on the day the 27 other EU leaders held their first meeting without Britain was seen by some diplomats as an attempt to pressure London to hand in its formal notice to quit.

There were no immediate plans for Sturgeon to meet of the national leaders still gathered at the summit after Cameron left overnight and European Council President Donald Tusk, the summit chairman, pointedly declined her request to meet him.

There has been a surge in sympathy around Europe for the 5.5 million Scots after nearly

International

two-thirds of them voted in last week’s UK referendum to stay in the EU, only to see the English, ten times more numerous, vote 52-48 percent for Brexit.

But EU officials have stressed, as they did before Scots voted against independence in a referendum in 2014, that Scotland could not apply to, let alone join, the Union until it had become a sovereign state. Senior officials have dismissed the notion that Scotland could take over the empty British chair at the European Council table.

With the EU facing years of uncertainty in negotiating the withdrawal of its second-biggest economy, the Scottish factor is a complication most governments would rather avoid. Spain wary of encouraging its own Catalan separatists, and some other states could block any Scottish accession. (rtr)

The migrant ship that sank off Sicily last year with an estimated 700 people onboard is being recovered by the Italian Navy, Tuesday, June 28, 2016. The navy says it’s raised the boat toward the surface from a depth of more than 1200 feet. The wreck is being kept in a refrigerated transport structure for the trip back to land, where forensic experts will begin trying to identify the victims.

Italy raises wreck of migrant boat that sank, killing hundreds, in 2015

ROME - Italy has begun raising the wreck of a fishing boat that sank in April 2015, drowning hundreds of migrants packed on board, its navy said on Wednesday.

The disaster is feared to have killed up to 800 people, making it one of the deadliest shipwrecks in decades of seaborne migration from North Africa towards Europe. The navy has recovered 118 bodies, but hundreds of corpses are believed to be trapped below deck, where survivors said migrants including many women and children were locked.

Navy video footage showed a large yellow frame-like apparatus attached to a ship being lowered into the water to a depth of about 370 metres (1,200

feet), where it gripped on to the wreck.

Recovery coordinators applauded from their control room as the raising began.

The hulk will now be placed in a 30-metre-long refrigerated structure while emergency services start recovering bodies from inside. Experts will examine and try to identify the victims.

The vessel sank about 135 km (85 miles) north of Libya, from where it departed, and will be taken to the port of Augusta in eastern Sicily.

Public outrage at the disaster, in which only 28 people are known to have survived, prompted the European Union to restore rescue operations in the Mediterranean. (rtr)

“He was wearing all black. His face was not masked ... We ducked behind a counter but I stood up and watched him. Two explosions went off shortly after one another. By that time he had stopped shooting,” Roos told Reuters.

“He turned around and started coming towards us. He was holding his gun inside his jacket. He looked around anxiously to see if anyone was going to stop him and then went down the escalator ... We heard some more gunfire and then another explosion, and then it was over.”

The attack bore similarities to a suicide bombing by Islamic State militants at Brussels airport in March that killed 16 people. A coordinated attack also targeted a rush-hour metro train, killing a further 16 people in the Belgian capital.

Islamic State militants also claimed gun and bomb attacks that killed 129 people in Paris last November “In Istanbul they used a combination of the methods employed in Paris and Brussels. They planned a murder that would maximize fear and loss of life,” said Suleyman Ozeren, a terrorism expert at the Ankara-based Global Policy and Strategy Institute.

Turkey needs to work harder on “preventative intelligence” to stop militants being radicalised in the first place, he said. (rtr)

Istanbul’s position bridging Europe and Asia has made Ataturk airport, Turkey’s largest, a major transit hub for passengers across the world. The Istanbul governor’s office said 109 of the 239 people hospitalised had since been discharged.

“There were little babies crying, people shouting, broken glass and blood all over the floor. It was very crowded, there was chaos. It was traumatic,” said Diana Eltner, 29, a Swiss psychologist who was travelling from Zurich to Vietnam but had been diverted to Istanbul after she missed a connection.

Delayed travellers were sleeping on floors at the airport, a Reuters witness said, as some passengers and airport staff cried and hugged each other. Police in kevlar vests with automatic weapons prowled the kerbside as a handful of travellers and Turkish Airlines crew trickled in.

The national carrier said it had cancelled 340 flights although its departures resumed after 8:00 am (0500 GMT). Paul Roos, 77, a South African tourist on his way home, said he saw one of the attackers “randomly shooting” in the departures hall from about 50 metres (55 yards) away.

Division, confusion as EU rethinks future without Britain

BRUSSELS — EU leaders met Wednesday without Britain for the first time to rethink their shaken union, make it more relevant to citizens and keep it from disintegrating after Britain’s unprecedented vote to leave — but conflicting visions of Europe’s future are complicating the highstakes summit.

British Prime Minister David Cameron left Brussels on Tuesday night without any clear divorce plan, fending off pressure for a quick exit and punting the complex departure negotiations to his successor.

In Britain, nominations opened Wednesday for a new Conservative leader to replace him after his devastating political miscalculation in calling last week’s referendum.

With Britain’s fate in Europe uncertain, the 27 remaining presidents, chancellors and prime ministers meeting in Brussels are focusing Wednesday on what to do about the rest of the continent.

There’s a widespread sense that the post-war project to foster peace via trade has become a bureaucratic, undemocratic behemoth with little meaning for its 500 million citizens.

“We all need to wake up and smell the coffee,” Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said.

“We have to show that Europe brings a real added value that can be felt by our fellow citizens,” Belgian’s Prime Minister Charles Michel said.

They all seem to agree that something must change after frustrations built up to the point that Britain quit, but disagree about how. The initial EU founding nations in the west lean toward a tighter, closer union while newer nations in the east want to keep more control with national governments — notably of their borders.

Other EU countries are now facing calls, especially from the nationalist far right, for referendums on quitting the bloc. Popular French far-right leader Marine Le Pen pressed unpopular President Francois Hollande in a weekend meeting for such a vote in France, but his government has rejected the idea.

The 27 remaining EU members are especially divided over how to

French President Francois Hollande, center, arrives for a round table meeting at an EU summit in Brussels on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. European Union leaders are meeting without Britain for the first time since the British referendum to rethink their bloc and keep it from disintegrating after Britain’s unprecedented vote to leave. deal with migration, a major issue in Britain’s vote last week. Central European nations led by Hungary refuse to accept imposed EU refugee quotas, and countries further north have all tightened border controls in response to the arrival of more than 1 million migrants last year.

Britain is more concerned about EU immigration, since its strong economy draws hundreds of thousands of workers from other EU nations.

Britain’s departure will also shift the balance of power within the EU, handing more weight to Germany’s Merkel and emboldening eastern countries such as Poland that want a greater voice in the EU. The bloc depends on consensus, so has long relied on trade-offs and compro-

mise between countries with very different approaches to what they want out of Europe.

The shock British vote has roiled markets and had impact on Europe and beyond, and overshadowed all the discussions Wednesday in Brussels, because it will rob the EU of its richest financial market, biggest military power and a diplomatic giant. It could also prompt an unraveling of the UK. Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon met Wednesday in Brussels with European Parliament President Martin Schulz and is meeting later with the leader of the EU executive, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Scottish voters overwhelmingly chose to remain in the European Union but were drowned out by English vot-

ers. Sturgeon has indicated there may be a new referendum on Scottish independence.

“It was a good opportunity for me to set out Scotland’s position and Scotland’s desire to remain within the European Union and to protect our relationship with the European Union,” Sturgeon said after meeting Schulz, but added, “I don’t underestimate the challenges that lie ahead for us seeking to find a path.”

Watching Britain’s turmoil, Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said, “With a disunited United Kingdom, we need a united Europe more than ever.”

In London, nominations opened Wednesday to replace Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party, with Work and Pensions Secretary

Stephen Crabb the first official contender. Former London Mayor Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Theresa May are also expected to run.

At Tuesday night’s summit dinner, EU leaders rejected Cameron’s pleas for favorable conditions for Britain once it leaves, insisting there would be no cherry-picking of advantageous trade conditions without respecting the free movement of people.

Merkel dismissed suggestions that Cameron’s successor might not start the formal EU withdrawal process because of the financial turmoil prompted by the vote and wide confusion about how to extract a country from the EU. “I see no way to reverse it,” Merkel said.

She said this is not the time for “wishful thinking.”(ap)

The police have not received a report of Indonesians falling victim to the blast, chief of the National Polices public relations division Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar stated here on Wednesday.

Boy said the police will inform the public of the condition of Indonesian citizens in Turkey based on a report from the Foreign Ministry.

The Indonesian embassy in Turkey had

earlier called on Indonesian citizens in the country to increase vigil in the wake of the bomb attack.

Indonesian citizens should continue to carry out their routine activities and avoid crowded places to anticipate subsequent bomb attacks.

Nearly 728 Indonesians currently live in Turkey, of which 310 are students, while the

Indonesia’s Parliament passes new tax amnesty bill JAKARTA — Indonesia’s Parliament passed a tax amnesty law on Tuesday aimed at drawing billions of dollars from wealthy Indonesians abroad and from tax evaders at home to help finance infrastructure and boost economic growth.

The law, which takes effect next month, grants special tax rates of 2 percent to 10 percent to tax evaders who declare their past earnings, compared to normal personal income tax rates of 5 to 30 percent.

Enterprises with up to 10 billion rupiah ($757,700) in assets will enjoy a 0.5 percent rate, while those with greater assets will be levied a 2 percent rate. Normal business tax rates are as high as 25 percent.

People and companies that declare their earnings and pay the special taxes will not be penalized for having failed to declare them before.

Those with wealth abroad who repatriate it from July to September will enjoy a 2 percent tax rate, those who return it by December will receive a 3 percent rate, and those who return it

by March 31, 2017, a 5 percent rate.

Those declaring assets abroad without repatriating them to Indonesia will be levied 4 percent, 6 percent and 10 percent tax rates for the same periods.

Indonesia, a country of more than 250 million people, has only about 30 million registered taxpayers.

Bank Indonesia, the country’s central bank, has estimated that Indonesians have about $43 billion in undeclared assets overseas.

Minister of Finance Bambang Brodjonegoro said the tax amnesty is expected to draw about 165 trillion rupiah ($12.5 billion) for the government.(ap)

Indonesia to step up oil exploration, fishing in South China Sea waters

JAKARTA - Indonesia’s president on Wednesday ordered an expansion of offshore oil exploration and commercial fishing in the waters near the Natuna Islands, the latest in a new campaign to assert sovereignty over the area in the South China Sea. Indonesia has taken unprecedented steps in the past week to lay claim to the remote island chain, whose gas-rich waters Beijing recently said were subject to “overlapping claims”.

President Joko Widodo travelled to Natuna for the first time last week

to hold a cabinet meeting aboard a warship, in what Indonesian officials described as the strongest message that has been given to China.

“Out of 16 blocks around Natuna, only five are producing,” Widodo said before a cabinet meeting to discuss development of the area. “We want to push so that they enter production stage sooner.”

The East Natuna gas field, being co-developed by state-owned Pertamina, Exxon Mobil Corp, Total SA and PTT Exploration and Produciton, is believed to hold one

of the world’s largest untapped gas reserves.

ConocoPhillips and Chevron Corp also hold stakes in the nearby South Natuna Sea Block B, but are looking to sell their stakes.

“Essentially, we want the Natuna area to be a hub for gas processing and related industries,” said Rizal Ramli, coordinating minister for maritime affairs.

The government also wants to develop Indonesia’s commercial fishing industry in Natuna, whose waters are regularly trawled by vessels from Vietnam, the Philippines,

China and other nearby nations.

Widodo said current fishing production around Natuna was only around 9 percent of its potential.

Indonesia’s navy has stepped up patrols around the islands after a series of face-offs between Indonesian naval vessels and Chinese fishing boats in the area.

Parliament on Tuesday approved a near 10 percent hike in defence spending to fund, among other things, major upgrades to military facilities in Natuna, located off the northwest coast of Borneo island.

Jakarta objects to Beijing’s in-

clusion of waters around the Natuna Islands within China’s “nine-dash line”, a demarcation line used by Beijing to show its claims.

“We do not recognise China’s nine-dash line and its claims of a traditional fishing zone,” said Chief Security Minister Luhut Pandjaitan.

“Natuna is our territory. We want stability in the area.”

China claims almost the entire South China Sea, where about $5 trillion worth of trade passes every year. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.(rtr)

Seize thousands of liters of alcohol

Police apply health and consumer protection law

AMLAPURA - Police authority seems never to run out of strategies when handling the issue of illegal alcohol. After the regional bylaw governing it was revoked, police implement the Law on Health and Consumer Protection in order to crack down on the illegal alcohol.

However, police have not dared to take action against the alcohol at the production centers that are not surely safe for consumption without registration in the Agency of Food and Drug Control (BPOM) Bali.

Chief of the Karangasem Police, Sugeng Sudarso, said on Tuesday (Jun. 28) that in creating condition

operation before the Eid his institution confiscated at least 1,030 liters of alcohol belonging to arrack.

Such evidence was obtained from the creating condition operation by Karangasem Police Drug Investigation on the Ababi-Budakeling road section, Wednesday (Jun. 15). At that time, precisely at Ababi village police secured a pickup truck with license plate DK 9652 SU carrying 22 jerrycans. One jerrycan contains approximately 25 liters.

Thus, police secured a total of 550 liters of alcohol from the pickup. As planned, the alcohol would be distributed to Denpasar by I Nyoman

From similar creating condition operation, Kubu Police also successfully carried out its operation.

The operation centered in front of the office of Sukadana village confiscated a pickup truck with license plate DK 9746 AK. The car driven

by I Gede Murdika, 41, from Bantes hamlet, Bulian, Buleleng was caught carrying a total of 16 jerrycans of alcohol. Each jerrycan contains 30 liters of alcohol belonging to arrack, bringing the total to 480 liters.

“So far, the results having been

secured reach 1,030 liters of alcohol belonging to arrack. This operation will continue until next July 25,” said Sugeng Sudarso accompanied by chief of Drug Investigation Agus Widarma Putra.

After the revocation of regional bylaw governing the alcohol, police then implement the Law No. 36/2009 on Health. In the Article 111 paragraph (6) and paragraph (1) is affirmed that the food and drink for public consumption must comply with the standards and or health requirements. Otherwise, it is not allowed to circulate and must be withdrawn from circulation. Fur-

thermore, it will be destroyed in accordance with statutory provisions.

In addition, Chief Sugeng Sudarso affirmed that police also apply the Law No.8/1999 on Consumer Protection. Thus, the evidence can be destroyed as soon as possible after making coordination with the Prosecutor’s Office and the District Court without going through the court process.

He also added that the follow up of the Law on Health and Consumer Protection regarding the alcohol at a whole will make cooperation with the National Agency of Food and Drug Control (BPOM). (kmb31)

Sudiarta added and non-commissioned officers will come down to the field to give guidance and dissemination indirectly to people at villages. “However, before coming down to the field, the officers should be equipped with knowledge about drug hazards. So, when performing their tasks they can better understand. The community is also easy to understand the messages conveyed. They are expected to avoid drug abuse,” he said. (kmb34)

As Duterte takes over in Philippines, police killings stir fear

MANILA - Two things catch the eye in the office of Joselito Esquivel, a police colonel enforcing a national crackdown on drugs in the Philippines’ most crime-ridden district: a pair of boxing gloves in a display cabinet and an M4 assault rifle lying beside him.

“It’s all-out war,” the Quezon City officer says of a spike in killings of suspected drug dealers by police across the country since last month’s election of Rodrigo Duterte, a tough-talking city mayor, as the country’s president. “Duterte has already given the impetus for this massive operation.”

Duterte has vowed to wipe out drug crime within six months but, according to Chito Gascon, head of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), the aggressive rhetoric behind his promises has already instilled a sense of impunity among the police.

“Basically, you have Mr. Duterte saying: ‘It’s okay, I’ve got your back’,” said Gascon.

On average, at least one person has been shot dead by police or anonymous vigilantes every day since the May 9 election that swept Duterte to power, an escalation from the first four months of the year when the rate was about two a week. Handwritten warning signs have been left on some corpses.

Duterte, who will be inaugurated on Thursday for a six-year term, has cheered the police on: after a druglord was killed in a northern province recently, he travelled there to congratulate them and hand over a reward worth about $6,000.

Critics, including leaders of the

influential Roman Catholic church and human rights advocates, fear a spiral of violence could lie ahead for the Philippines if vigilantism and summary executions become an accepted norm after Duterte takes office.

“My concern is that instead of law and order, what we will see is lawlessness and fear,” said Gascon.

“What will result is an increase in the body-bag count.”

On Monday, Duterte branded as “stupid” human rights groups and lawmakers who have complained about his draconian plans to crush crime and re-introduce the death penalty.

“When you kill someone, rape, you should die,” he told his last public meeting as mayor of Davao City, where death squads have killed hundreds of drug-pushers, petty criminals and even street children since 1998, according to rights groups.

Duterte denies any involvement in the vigilante killings.

A political outsider whose coarse defiance of the traditional ruling class has drawn comparisons with Donald Trump, Duterte has even figured in commentaries on Britain’s vote to leave the European Union as an example of a global trend towards populism triumphing over the establishment. (rtr)

Members of India’s LGBT (Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Transgenders) community hold a rainbow flag during a parade in Gurgaon on the outskirts of New Delhi, India, Saturday, June 25, 2016. The walk was organized demanding social acceptance and equal rights.

NEW DELHI - India’s Supreme Court refused on Wednesday to hear a petition challenging a law criminalising gay sex, a setback for gay rights activists battling in the country’s courts to get the ban overturned.

A number of well-known lesbian, gay and bisexual Indians had argued that Section 377 of India’s penal code, which prohibits “carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal”, undermined their fundamental rights by failing to protect their sexual p7references.

“The Supreme Court refused to hear the matter and asked the petitioners to approach the Chief

Justice of India,” Arvind Dattar, a lawyer for one of the petitioners, told Reuters.

India’s chief justice is already hearing a separate case to strike down the ban, and India’s top court has previously argued that only parliament has the power to change Section 377.

The decision is the latest setback India’s gay community has faced in its fight to get a prohibition on homosexual sex overturned ever since the Supreme Court reinstated a colonial-era ban in late 2013.

That ban ended a four-year period of decriminalisation that had helped bring homosexuality increasingly out into the open in a

deeply conservative society.

Discrimination faced by homosexual communities across the world was thrown into sharp relief again this month after a gunman slaughtered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida.

Some Western countries have pressured India to overturn its ban on gay sex and respect human rights regardless of sexual orientation.

This month U.S. Ambassador Richard Verma’s residence in New Delhi’s leafy diplomatic quarter was lit in the colours of the rainbow in a gesture of solidarity towards victims of the Orlando massacre.

Violation of the Indian law on gay sex can result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years. (rtr)

Survey finds excess health problems in lesbians, gays, bisexuals

NASHVILLE - Gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals reported more health problems than straight men and women, in a large U.S. survey.

For the first time since its launch in 1957, the National Health Interview Survey in 2013 and 2014 included a question about sexual orientation.

With nearly 69,000 participants, the survey revealed that lesbian, gay and bisexual adults “were more likely to report impaired physical and mental health, heavy alcohol

consumption, and heavy cigarette use, potentially due to the stressors that (they) experience as a result of interpersonal and structural discrimination,” researchers wrote online June 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Overall, 67,150 survey respondents were heterosexual, 525 lesbian, 624 gay and 515 bisexual. The

average age was about 47.

Gilbert Gonzales of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville and colleagues found that compared to heterosexual women, lesbians were 91 percent more likely to report poor or fair health. Lesbians were 51 percent more likely, and bisexual women were more than twice as likely, to report multiple chronic conditions, compared to straight women.

Gay, lesbian and bisexual people were also more likely than hetero-

sexuals to report heavy drinking and smoking.

While gays and lesbians reported worse psychological distress than heterosexuals, bisexual people suffered the most, the survey showed.

For example, about 17 percent of heterosexual men had at least moderate psychological distress, compared to about 26 percent of gay men and about 40 percent of bisexual men.

Similarly, about 22 percent of

heterosexual women had at least moderate psychological distress, compared to about 28 percent of lesbian women and about 46 percent of bisexual women.

Gonzales told Reuters Health that the health disparities are likely due to the stress of being a minority, which is likely exacerbated among bisexual people, who may not be accepted by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

“While there aren’t that many studies focusing on bisexual adults, previous studies have indicated they’re probably at greater risk,” he said.

Other factors too, along with socalled minority stress, may account for health differences between heterosexuals and lesbian, gay and bisexual people, Gonzales said.

For example, he said, survey respondents may not have had access to marriage, which wasn’t legalized at the federal level in the U.S. until 2015.

“It will be interesting to see how legal same-sex marriage will affect these health disparities,” Gonzales said.

In a note published with the study, Dr. Mitchell Katz says the disparities may decrease with the growing acceptance of sexual minority populations.

“Health care professionals can help by creating environments that are inclusive and supportive of sexual minority patients,” writes Katz, who is an editor of the journal.

“In caring for people who have experienced bias and discrimination, support is a very potent medicine,” he writes.

“It’s important that all our federal surveys begin to collect sexual orientation status and gender identity,” said Gonzales. “This kind of work would not be (possible) if the question wasn’t asked.” (rtr)

Raid of the BPOM finds textile dyes used as cake coloring

AMLAPURA - The Denpasar Agency of Food and Drug Control (BBPOM) did a raid for two consecutive days, Monday (Jun. 27) and Tuesday (Jun. 28) to cake merchants at the market. In the examination of cakes or pastries sold at East Amlapura traditional market, it found two types of harmful dyes. A red dye normally used for textile or fabric dye is even used for snacks. It was announced by the Chief of the BBPOM Denpasar, Endang Widowati, after the inspection.

In the meantime, her staff, the Inspection and Investigation Division Head, Eka Ratnata, when met ahead of the meeting with the Head of the Amlapura District Court conveyed that the red dye found belongs to crimson and there is also a yellow dye. The crimson has typical bright red. It is made from artificial coloring. “Red or crimson dye is considered harmful if consumed because it contains Rhodamine B chemical compound. This Rhodamine dye cannot be used at all. Actually there is a type of dye that can be safely used for snack or cake, in liquid form,” he said.

The products with harmful dyes were found in the snacks like jaja mako and jaja gipang.

According to Eka, the Industry and Trade Agency has been asked to submit the findings. “Just now (yesterday—Ed) the Industry and Trade Agency was already asked to come to the location of producers so that they will no longer use such hazardous artificial colorings,” he said.

Related to the finding of jaja mako and jaja gipang made from red dye, the BBPOM already secured the sample. It inspected ten

merchants and the snack samples have been taken. Eka and Widowati expected that people must be careful to consume food of artificial coloring. He also stressed that producers must find the right information about the ingredients of their nacks, so as not to harm consumers in terms of health in the long term. “Such artificial red dye is usually used for dyeing paper or cloth,” said Eka. Widowati said that the BBPOM team coming down to the field last Tuesday consisted of seven people.

In the meantime, the other team is from Karangasem denoting a joint team consisting of the Industry and Trade Agency, Economic Section, Food Security Office and Health Agency.

Widowati conveyed that in the inspection to sample of takjil on Monday afternoon (Jun. 27) at Senggol Market on Jalan Gajah Mada Amlapura found if the takjil ingredients are still safe. She considered that ahead of the feast is prone to circulation of foodstuff that can harm health. In addition, people should watch out expired parcels.

Widowati and Eka told that they have provided coaching for retailers selling snacks with two types of harmful dyes. The merchants admitted not to know if they sell snacks containing Rhodamine B hazardous dye. The merchants admitted if they are only entrusted by the makers at villages.

“In the coaching, we have asked the merchants to no longer sell cakes or snacks containing hazardous dyes. We’ll check again, if they remain to sell the banned products, it will be certainly taken an action,” said Eka. (013)

Binge-eating disorder can be treated with talk therapy or drugs

NORTH CAROLINA - People with recurring episodes of bingeeating can be helped with talk therapy or medication, according to a new review of previous studies.

People with binge-eating disorder have brief, psychologically distressing binge-eating episodes multiple times a week for at least three months. The disorder is linked to mental health problems, chronic pain, obesity and diabetes, the researchers write in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Binge-eating disorder will affect about 3 percent of people in

the U.S. during their lifetimes, according to lead author Kimberly Brownley, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her colleagues.

Brownley’s team analyzed data from nine studies of psychological treatments and 25 studies of medications in patients with bingeeating disorder.

A type of psychotherapy called cognitive behavioral therapy, a class of drugs known as secondgeneration antidepressants and the amphetamine known as lisdexamfetamine, or Vyvanse, all helped

reduce binge-eating, the researchers found.

The medications also reduced obsessions and compulsions related to the disorder.

CBT can teach people to identify thoughts associated with bingeeating, and help them change their behaviors, Brownley said.

Additionally, lisdexamfetamine and second-generation antidepressants can help decrease people’s impulses to eat.

Examples of second-generation antidepressants include citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro),

fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). The study can’t prove whether one second-generation antidepressant is better than the others, however.

Lisdexamfetamine and topiramate (Topamax) also led to weight loss among people with bingeeating disorders.

“We can’t say if any of these treatments is fundamentally better than the other,” Brownley said.

“There have been no head-to-head (comparisons) and that’s really essential.”

The review shows, however, that

treatments are available and people don’t have to suffer through the disorder alone, she added.

In an editorial accompanying the new review, Dr. Michael Devlin, of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City says doctors can have a hard time recognizing binge-eating disorder.

“Greater than expected weight dissatisfaction, large weight fluctuations, and depressive symptoms in individuals of any size all should raise the practitioner’s index of suspicion,” he suggests. (rtr)

Municipal govt issues mayoral regulation on waste management

Waste handling problems have drawn the attention of Denpasar’s municipal government.

DENPASAR - Waste handling problems have drawn the attention of Denpasar’s municipal government. According to Denpasar Mayoral Regulation No.11/2016 on waste management in Denpasar, the Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP) -who previously managed waste, will be now handing over this responsibility to each village to handle independently.

Head of DKP Denpasar, Ketut Wisada, when asked for his confirmation on Tuesday (Jun. 28) said that based on the mayoral regulation, starting on July 1, 2016 people in Denpasar are no longer allowed to put their garbage on telajakan (space between road section and house compound wall), sidewalks or on the street.

Communities are required to independently dispose of their waste in temporary landfills or join independent waste management available at the local village or nearby village. “Violators will be subject to appropriate sanctions as per Regional Bylaw No. 3/2015 on sanitation, namely a maximum fine of IDR 50 million or three months in prison”, said Wisada.

Currently his agency is still disseminating information on the newly-issued mayoral regulation.

“People who live far form the garbage depots are expected to join the independent waste management program, while those living close to the depot are expected to dispose of their garbage directly” he explained.

With this mayoral regulation, hamlet chief and headman will have the additional task of establishing an independent waste management group that will take and transport the waste from temporary landfills by tricycles or cart. The DKP will then take the garbage from these temporary landfills to the final landfill.

Member of Commission III of

the Denpasar House of Representatives, Wayan Suwirya, recently said that he was worried about the hamlet-based waste management program. The main obstacle is the lack of available space for temporary landfills “Although it does not require an extensive land area, if the land is not available, nothing can be done” said this Golkar politician.

A similar opinion was disclosed by member of Commission IV, Wayan Sugiarta. He pointed out that the waste depot on Jalan Pulau Kawe has often been complained about by the local community. Depsite this, it cannot be moved due to lack of space in the area.

Another legislator who also manages a waste depot at Peguyangan Kaja, Wayan Sutama, said that it requires about 500-1,000 square meters for the waste management including sorting plastic and organic garbage.

If however the garbage is only being deposited temporarily in fact less space is required. (kmb12)

COVER STORY Art...

From page 1 This man whose stage name is Gus Topok added that staging of classical and traditional shows makes the BAF static and should therefore have innovative aspects added to them with a slightly modern element. He added that the local wisdom inherent in these arts should also be preserved.

“We have asked Balinese people from all over the island to attend BAF performances and give some feedback. But this year’S BAF remains as monotonous as in previous years”, he explained.

His fellow Bondres artist, I Wayan Suda, criticized the quality of the BAF stages saying that the even those that have roofs -like the Angsoka stage, leak when it rains. Likewise, the areas used as back stages by artists to put on their costumes and make-up are also leaked with the heavy rains of the last few days. He added however that there were improvements in terms of having young people involved in almost all of the BAF shows.

“There have been many performances that showed off the creativity of young people and the art studios. As a community, let’s support them because as a tourist destination, Bali relies on the arts and cultural attractions” he said.

Chief of Penggak Men Mersi, Kadek

Wahyudita, said that this year’s BAF performances were the same as every other year and that the conceptual management of the BAF needs to be more innovative. For example, each week could have a specific theme and performances could be better developed, he said.

“Hopefully in the future, we will see shows that have been prepared for more than just three months as well as better quality sound systems, lighting and decoration. We hope that these elements will be given more attention in the future”, he said.

Wahyudita went on to say that he especially noticed that the classical gamelan music compositions free minimal audiences. SUch arts he said should not be left to flounder and fail to draw audiences. These performances he said should be staged during peak hours and should have more innovative staging so as to entice people.

“It’s a pity that the sacred arts are brought in here like this. Sacred arts are part of rituals so people may not be so focused on the aesthetics because they are more concerned with the ritual. But when these arts are brought to the secular stage, they need to take into account the context and provide some added dimension”, he said.

When classical arts are given a place on the major stage, added Wahyudita,

the audience should be selected as well.

For example, each district/municipality could send art teachers and their students on given days as a way to enrich their knowledge of the classical arts. This wold give these performances more value that simple entertainment.

“We need to ask how do we bridge the generation gap? how do we make it fun to watch? what is the interesting point of particular art forms? and so on. There should be some context given like the history and function of a particular gamelan composition” , he suggested.

According to Wahyudita, the purpose of the BAF is not only entertaining even though these is also a part. In fact , each BAF performance should provide other benefits such as providing knowledge. Understanding of the classical arts needs to be created either in the form that it is presented or in the performance itself.

“If a performance is indeed quiet, it should be staged at night and particular audiences should be invited. We should not leave these things to chance but should instead seek to value art as a medium for education. Currently, all the shows are presented as entertainment so people just randomly choose and sit down and will watch as long as it is entertaining. If that is all that we want to provide then we might as well just have it all be Bondres mask performances - to ensure that people are entertained” he concluded. (kmb32)

In fact, the BMKG urged the public to be aware of the increase in wave height in the south of Bali reaching three meters and wind speeds of 8-30 km per hour as well as rain accompanied with lightning.

The Data and Information Division Head of the BMKG for Region III Denpasar, I Nyoman Gede Wiryajaya, explained that the recent rain in Bali is influenced by several factors. For instance, it can be caused by anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indian Ocean in the south of Java,

Activities

Bali to Nusa Tenggara, reaching two degrees Celsius. This condition results in a very strong convection activity.

He added that the MaddenJulian Oscillation (MJO) from the Indian Ocean is active in the western side of Indian Ocean.

Moreover, in the next few days the MJO is predicted to be active in equatorial region of Indonesia.

“And the weak Australian Monsoon has impact on cold air mass from mainland Australia generally occurred during dry Season.

However, lately it did not pass in

the region of Bali and Nusa Tenggara,” said Wiryajaya Further, he explained that La Nina is a global phenomenon whose effects are felt locally and vary in each region. La Nina generally has an impact in the form of increasing rainfall in the regions of Indonesia, including Bali. In dry season in 2016, it is predicted to be wetter than usually. The BMKG also predicted that there is La Nina phenomenon with weak intensity next July.

“During dry season, it does not necessarily mean that there is no rain. It remains to rain but the criteria still belong to dry season.

In the meantime, the rain accompanied with lightning is caused by cumulonimbus clouds,” he concluded. (win)

BAF monotonous, classic arts lack of spectators

DENPASAR - The Bali Arts Festival (BAF) 2016 has entered its third week since it opened on June 11.

Various performances have been presented to the audience, ranging from classical, innovative to ‘reconstructed’ arts. However, most of the performances -especially the classical arts, like the gamelan music composition have only drawn a few spectators. Many say that the performances are monotonous.

“If we provide modern art performances many spectators do not enjoy it, unless they are comedic or humour involved. Audiences are also not very enthusiastic about classical performance like gambuh” said an artist from Bangli, named Ida Bagus Ngurah Made Widiasta, when met at the Denpasar Art Center on Tuesday (Jun. 28).

Lady Gaga caught in bad romance with China after meeting Dalai Lama REUTERS/Chris Bergin

BEIJING - China said on Tuesday U.S. pop star Lady Gaga’s meeting with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama had unleashed “anger” in the country, as internet users criticised her for meeting a man China condemns as a separatist.

The barrage of angry and critical comments came after the singer posted several photos of herself with the Dalai Lama on Sunday at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in the U.S. city of Indianapolis on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Lady Gaga, known for songs such as “Bad Romance” and “Born This Way”, chatted with the Dalai Lama on topics including generosity to the poor and mental health,

according to video of the event.

China considers the Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet into exile in India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, to be a dangerous “splittist”, or separatist. The Dalai Lama says he only wants genuine autonomy for his remote homeland.

“There is a broad consensus internationally about what kind of person the Dalai Lama is and what he does internationally,” Chinese

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a regular briefing.

“After the relevant incident happened, if you look at comments on the Chinese Internet, their anger has welled up,” he added, referring to Lady Gaga’s meeting.

Lady Gaga has not remarked on the blowback from Chinese internet users on her social media accounts.

Reuters could not immediately reach a representative for comment.

Lady Gaga is popular with many young Chinese but has never held a concert in mainland China, though she has in the Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macau. (rtr)

Islamic State prime suspect after suicide bombers kill 41 at Istanbul airport

ISTANBUL - Turkish investigators pored over video footage and witness statements on Wednesday after three suspected Islamic State suicide bombers opened fire and blew themselves up in Istanbul’s main airport, killing 41 people and wounding 239.

The attack on Europe’s thirdbusiest airport was the deadliest in a series of suicide bombings this year in Turkey, part of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State and struggling to contain spillover from neighbouring Syria’s war.

President Tayyip Erdogan said the attack should serve as a turning point in the global fight against terrorism, which he said had “no regard for faith or values”.

Five Saudis and two Iraqis were among the dead, a Turkish official

said. Citizens from China, Jordan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Iran and Ukraine were also among the 13 foreigners killed.

One attacker opened fire in the departures hall with an automatic rifle, sending passengers diving for cover and trying to flee, before all three blew themselves up in or around the arrivals hall a floor below, witnesses and officials said.

Video footage showed one of the attackers inside the terminal

building being shot, apparently by a police officer, before falling to the ground as people scattered. The attacker then blew himself up around 20 seconds later.

“It’s a jigsaw puzzle ... The authorities are going through CCTV footage, witness statements,” a Turkish official said.

The Dogan news agency said autopsies on the three bombers, whose torsos were ripped apart, had been completed and that they may have been foreign nationals, without citing its sources.

Broken ceiling panels littered the kerb outside the arrivals section of the international terminal. Plates of glass had shattered, exposing the

inside of the building, and electric cables dangled from the ceiling.

Cleanup crews swept up debris and armed police patrolled as flights resumed.

“This attack, targeting innocent people is a vile, planned terrorist act,” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters at the scene in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“There is initial evidence that each of the three suicide bombers blew themselves up after opening fire,” he said. The attackers had come to the airport by taxi and preliminary findings pointed to Islamic State responsibility.

Two U.S. counterterrorism of-

ficials familiar with the early stages of investigations said Islamic State was at the top of the list of suspects even though there was no evidence yet.

No group had claimed responsibility more than 12 hours after the attack, which began around 9:50 p.m. (1850 GMT) on Tuesday.
