‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Opens to Franchise Low $69.1 Million

LOS ANGELES - It seems the “Transformers” franchise is rusty. As of Sunday morning “Transformers: The Last Knight,” the fifth installment directed by Michael Bay, looks to bring in $69.1 million from 4,069 domestic locations during its five-day opening weekend. That’s a franchise low for the sequel from Paramount and Hasbro, behind the first in the modern series, which earned $70.5 million in 2007. “The Last Knight” carries an estimated $217 million production budget. This makes “Transformers: The Last Knight” the latest summer blockbuster to bank on overseas ticket sales to have a shot at turning a profit. In China, the big-budget action sequel made $41 million in its opening day alone. The projected international cume through Sunday is $196.2 million, powered by $123.4 million in China. “The Last Knight” comes at a time when Paramount could have used an all-around hit, following recent misses “Baywatch” and “Ghost in the Shell.” While the latest “Transformers” movie has been advertised as “the final chapter” and Bay’s last go-around, the franchise will continue -- Paramount has at least two more movies slated,

including a spinoff that could star Hailee Steinfeld. The franchise has historically been massively profitable and seen solid multiples for the studio. Together, the first four earned over $1.3 billion domestically and well over $3.5 billion worldwide. The latest take on the series centers on an alliance between Bumblebee, Cade Yeager -- who Mark Wahlberg also played in 2014’s “Age of Extinction” -- and roles played by franchise newcomers Anthony Hopkins and Laura Haddock. Together, the team works together to save the world. Audiences have earned the film a B+ CinemaScore, while critics have mostly dismissed it -- it currently holds a 15% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled” remake from Focus Features played at four theaters

this weekend, and should gross $240,545 with a strong per screen average before it expands to over 500 locations next weekend. “We’re thrilled by this opening,” said Lisa Bunnell, Focus Features’

distribution president. “This is Focus’ third collaboration with Sofia and she’s created an entertaining, atmospheric thriller featuring strong female representation in front of and behind the camera.” (rtr)

Barry Gibb brings Bee Gee’s disco fever to Glasto’s legends slot

GLASTONBURY - Barry Gibb brought some Sunday afternoon fever to the legends slot at Glastonbury Festival when he entertained a huge crowd with Bee Gees hits “Stayin’ Alive”, “How Deep is Your Love”, “Night Fever” and “Tragedy”. The songs all featured on the soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever”, released 40 years, and festival goers at the Pyramid Stage were dressed up and ready to play homage to the movie and music that defined disco. “Stayin’Alive”, the first of a string

of hits Gibbs played from the movie, had the whole field of revellers and the stage’s security team disco dancing in the afternoon sunshine. Gibb formed the Bee Gees in 1958 with his two brothers Robin and Maurice, who have both died. The group has sold more than 220 million records. The Sunday afternoon “legends” slot has become one of the most popular at the festival, and previous occupants including Dolly Parton and Lionel Ritchie have drawn huge audiences and seen record sales surge after appearing.

Gibb dedicated the song “Words” to the people of Manchester and London after terror attacks in both cities and a devastating fire in London in recent weeks. Glastonbury, which is known affectionately as “Glasto”, opened on Friday with a minute’s silence to reflect the events, and many performers have dedicated songs to the victims and those affected. The mood on the Pyramid Stage quickly lightened when Gibb donned a gold lame jacket from an audience member to sing disco hit “Tragedy”. (rtr)

Obama and family go river rafting during Indonesia vacation

BALI — Former U.S. President Barack Obama and his family were seen on a river rafting trip Monday as they vacationed in Indonesia, where he lived for several years as a child. Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, rafted on the Ayung River on the resort island of Bali, where the family arrived Friday. Before, Obama and his family was also visiting Jatiluwih. The place is known for its beautiful rice paddy.

The Manager of Jaliluwih, Nengah Sutirtayasa said on Monday that he was informed that Obama was coming to the place at 10 am. The security is increased during his visit to Jatiluwih. “There are some places that is being sterilized but most of the places are still opened as usual so the guest can stilll come at that time,” he added. Next week, the family is slated to depart for Yogyakarta, where they are expected to visit ancient Borobudur temple. They will spend two days there before flying to Jakarta. Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo had invited Obama to take a holiday in the country after leaving office, and has invited the family to visit the presidential Bogor Palace in West Java during their nine-day trip. The former president is also scheduled to speak at an Indonesian Diaspora Congress in Jakarta on July 1. Obama moved to Indonesia in 1967 at age 6 after his divorced

mother remarried an Indonesian man. She stayed on after the marriage broke up, working as an anthropologist and development aid worker, but Obama returned to Hawaii when he was 10 to live with his grandparents. Many Indonesians felt a strong bond with Obama because of his exposure to Indonesia and its culture, even making him a 2m bronze statue that was placed in his former school. The statue of “Little Barry” - as Obama was known to his Indonesian school friends - depicts the boy Obama dressed in shorts and a T-shirt with a butterfly perched on his hand.(kmb) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Cupu Kembang Dewata art studio

Saron instrumental combined with pooja mantra

DENPASAR —

A temple priest along with ten gamelan players performed on the Angsoka Stage at the Denpasar Art Center on Friday (Jun. 23). The two youngest looking members blew a conch to open the show before the gamelan players sat behind their instruments. Two young players then took their positions to play a bamboo and filigree tingklik gamelan. Other gamelan players held kulkul (split drum), fiddle and conch while

the temple priest focused on the pejati oblations in front of him. The eldest member of the group, 76 year old I Nyoman Jani, held a microphone preparing to makidung or sing psalmody. The first strains of the classical saron gamelan composition then echoed from the Cupu Kembang Dewata classical gamelan art troupe from Gianyar, as the temple priest lit some incense and placed it with the pejati oblation. This action served

as a reminder to begin every activity with a prayer. After a short pause, two young gamelan players then moved on and handed over their instruments to the middle-aged gamelan players. The sound of gamelan music resumed this time with more solemnity. Grandpa Jani’s voice was then heard as he began to sing the Wargasari psalmody. The priest rang his bell, while praying. The audience was transported to a Dewa Yadnya ritual

in a trinity temple. This gamelan composition was then revealed to be the Wargasari gamelan composition. After another brief pause, the Malat gamelan composition replaced the Wargasari gamelan music. The word malat is derived from the word mawilet meaning ‘community participating in maintain harmony, togetherness and kinship.’ The series of this series of ceremonies was then marked with the presentation of metabuh or the pouring of libations. As is the custom in temples, the priest sprinkled holy water, palm wine, rice wine, arrack and water around the stage. The show was closed nicely by Sidakarya gamelan music. The gamelan composer, I Ketut Kenak, said that the entire composition entitled Pancaka Tirta, Panca Swara was inspired by an understanding that all ceremonial and religious procession in Bali have a philosophy related to water and sound. The sanctified water is named tirta and serves as the key point in a ritual, while sound serves as a supporting element commonly known as Panca Gita or Panca Swara. “The composition is indeed de-

Tank and explosive disposal vehicle deployed to Ubud

Jalan Raya Sayan started to be crowded with police vehicles on Friday morning and a tank and a explosive disposal vehicle were seen driving back and forth in front of the hotel. Police personnel also guarded several nearby intersections. The hotel where the former US president and his family were staying was desolate as only registered guests were aloud to enter. Not even police were permitted to enter the hotel grounds. Chief of the Gianyar Police, Djoni Widodo, explained that Gianyar police personnel were deployed to ring 3 for securing the former US presidents’ visits, with 225 officers on duty. “The number and placement of the police officers was determined base

signed to take the form of a Dewa Yadnya ritual procession”, he said. Kenak also explained that this saron gamelan is a rare classical musical instrument. The three young gamelan players were deliberately involved so as to pass on knowledge of the saron to the next generation. “Hopefully, children are willing to carry on this art form. I do my best to prevent it from disappearing. We must preserve the heritages of our ancestors”, he said. Head of Tegallalang Advisory Council and Cultural Development (Listibya), Wayan Gina, said that the original saron instrument was only a tingklik instrument made from bamboo and filigree. It is quite difficult to play because the rhythms require the player to use both hands is quick succession. As a result most saron enthusiasts are from the older generation. This saron is player to follow the process of temple priests while they perform pooja. It is hard to encourage people to play this instrument because it does not have much market value. “This gamelan is intended to be played as spiritual music particularly for Panca Yadnya ceremonies”, he concluded.

Bulgaria’s first communications satellite launched into orbit

FLORIDA - Bulgaria’s first geostationary communications satellite has been launched into space, operator Bulsatcom said in a statement on Saturday. The BulgariaSat-1 satellite, which will provide television and communication services to Europe and North Africa, was launched by SpaceX from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1910 GMT on Friday. The satellite could be also used in force majeure situations - accidents due to natural disasters - such as earthquakes, storms and floods when land-based networks are not operational. “When we started this space project more than 10 years ago, we clearly knew that what was need to complete it successfully was patience, commitment and a strong team,” said Maxim Zayakov, CEO of Bulgaria Sat and Bulsatcom.

“We launched our BulgariaSat-1, we stepped up a as one of the leading space nations in Europe and opened the path for the development of the related Bulgarian high-tech sectors and talented specialists.” The satellite will be positioned into orbit at 36,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Earth and be operational up to 20 years. Over the next month, the ground control room will carry out the necessary tests and settings to make the satellite operationally ready to broadcast. Bulsatcom has secured financing for the $235 million project from the United States’ Export-Import Bank and a Deutsche Bank-led consortium of European banks. (rtr)

BIRMINGHAM - Researchers at a British University have embarked on a decade-long experiment that will pump a forest full of carbon dioxide to measure how it copes with rising levels of the gas - a key driver of climate change. The Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experiment at the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) will expose a fenced-off section of mature woodland - in Norbury Park in Staffordshire, West Midlands - to levels of CO2 that experts predict will be prevalent in 2050. Scientists aim to measure the forest’s capacity to capture carbon released by fossil fuel burning, and answer questions about their capacity to absorb carbon pollution long-term. “(Forests) happily take a bit more CO2 because that’s their main nutrient. But we don’t know how much more and whether they can do that indefinitely”, BIFoR co-director Michael Tausz told Reuters. The apparatus for the experiment consists a series of masts built into six 30-metre wide sections of woodland, reaching up about 25 meters into the forest canopy. Concentrated CO2 is fed through pipes to the top of the masts where it is pumped into the foliage. Last year the U.N World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced that the global average of carbon dioxide, the main manmade greenhouse gas, reached 400 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere for the first time on record. “The forest here sees nearly 40 percent more CO2 than it sees normally, because that’s what it will be globally in about 2050; a value of 550 parts per million, compared to 400 parts per million now,” Tausz said. With deforestation shrinking the carbon storage capacity of the world’s forests, researchers hope that a greater understanding of their role in climate change mitigation could help policy makers make informed decisions. “We could get a clear idea of whether they can keep helping us into the future by sucking up more CO2,” said Tausz. The remainder of the Norbury Park woodland is open to the public and will not be affected by the experiment. (rtr)

After staging Kar Pang Deen, Rare Kual crowded by its fans

DENPASAR — Rare Kual bondres group from Buleleng successfully drugged the audience of Bali Arts Festival 2017 in Ayodya Stage of Denpasar Art Center on Wednesday (Jun. 21). Not a few spectators thronged the players after staging innovative bondres show entitled Kar Pang Deen. On average they were fans who took photos together. The Rare Kual group consisting of Ngurah Indra Wijaya (Wah Joni), I Made Artana (Made Bojes), Kadek Agus Ria Arnawan (De Slowly), and Made Sukantara Arpin (Ayu Sintya) has been already familiar among the bondres (gag mask show) lovers. They often appear off-air or on air on local television stations in Bali. Finally, Rare Kual was invited to appear in the 15th anniversary of Bali TV some time ago. In the BAF event, Rare Kual showcased the story on a village youth who has a land heritage in the hills adjoining to Lake Tamblingan. The young man was encouraged to sell his heritage land to the boss (played by Dede), but it is ultimately refused. It happens because the land has a historical value that in the past his mother and sister took water at the location by using jun (jar). This story is reinforced with

a multimedia-based visual background. Ngurah Indra Wijaya or Wah Joni said the video about nature in Buleleng was immediately made after the concept of the story was formulated. “I would like to show something, for example, the forest, so that it looks like in the jungle. Thus, it is not just in the imagination. Besides, it is also meant to promote the potentials owned by Buleleng,” he said. Wah Joni added that the story of Kar Pang Deen or ‘let be as it is’ delivers a message to Balinese people so that they will not be too easy to sell their land. Young generation in particular should maintain and preserve this nature without thinking that selling is the final alternative to get capital or open a business. “If it really needs to sell, it will be sold for whom? If necessary, it is for us to do farming. Never do it other than for farming. For example, many people establish a villa, look for the

view. Ultimately, the landowner is no longer Balinese people,” he added. According to Wah Joni, Rare Kual itself has concentrated on environmental issues since six years ago. It also includes in the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. Nothing is wrong if the material of the bondres show is then always filled with messages to preserve Bali. “We feel concerned with Balinese people. We must be able to keep Bali and find the way to pack this joke. For example, if we do it through speeches, lectures or presentation, people will get bored. However, when hearing jokes, people will like to watch, so that we insert a little messages in it,” he concluded. Appreciation to the Rare Kual action in the BAF stage did not only came from the audience, but also from the observer of innovative bondres parade, I Ketut Kodi. He assessed the concept and idea of Rare Kual bondres is very extraordinary and in accordance with the theme of Ulun Danu (preserving water as source of life). “It just now told us about Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan becoming the source of water

Responding to massive ban of BTR activities

ForBALI opens complaint desk DENPASAR — Restrictions against the action of Bali Rejects Benoa Bay Reclamation (BTR) massively occurred lately. Individual police officer is then accused of being actively involved in the restraint efforts. For instance, it can be seen in the incidents of disarming flags and clothes of BTR in the Semarapura Festival, Klungkung, on May 1. Then, it continued with the ban on the use of BTR attributes in the Gianyar Youth Festival. “ForBALI suspects the state apparatus forces and uses the hands of the committee to dispel as well

as prohibit visitors from putting on shirts of rejecting reclamation in the Gianyar Youth Festival. As in Klungkung, police officers were aggressively disarming flags of rejecting Benoa Bay reclamation,” said Coordinator of ForBALI Political Advocacy Division, Suriadi Darmoko, in Denpasar on Wednesday (Jun. 21). Suriadi added that maneuver of police continues to people wishing to submit an event permit. Police authority requires the handling of event permit to be accompanied by a statement not to voice any The post was opened on Thursday (Jun. 22) on Jalan Dewi Madri IV No.2, Renon, Denpasar, around the clock.

rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation on its show. Otherwise, the permit submitted by the event committee will not be issued. “This incident is experienced by the committee of Greatfest 5. The event permit has actually been issued by the Denpasar police. However, since it involved Superman Is Dead (SID) band as a performer, the permit was then revoked and replaced with a recommendation to submit the event permit to Bali Police,” he explained. According to Suriadi, the SID band that all this time is actively campaigning for rejection against the Benoa Bay reclamation was also asked to make a statement. It will not voice the rejection against reclamation when filling in the show in the Greatfest or the committee did not get an event permit. Apart from the three incidents above, the restraint against the BTR activity has been ongoing for a long time. In 2014, there was removal of billboards by police and the Indonesian military (TNI). In 2016, Badung police chief brought chief

of customary village ahead of BTR rally that actually has notified the action in accordance with the procedure. During the opening parade of the BAF in 2016, two ForBALI activists were beaten because of wearing BTR shirts. Last year, the ban on BTR attributes by the apparatus also occurred in the SMAN 1 Tabanan music concert. In early 2017, four billboards in Jembrana were muzzled by local authorities based on instruction of the Bali police chief. “In the past, we could measure the restraint, namely when the president came, officials of central government made a visit, or there was implementation of certain event. Today is different, this kind of incident occurred massively. We see there is one construction wishing to bang between the BTR movement and other civil society. The act of prohibition and seizure also poses a terror by police to create a fear of wearing clothes with the wording ‘Bali rejects reclamation,’” he said. Coordinator of ForBALI Legal Team, I Made ‘Ariel’ Suardana, said that massive restraint efforts on BTR activity then underlie the establishment of Restrain Handling Post of Bali Rejects Reclamation. The post was opened on Thursday (Jun. 22) on Jalan Dewi

Madri IV No.2, Renon, Denpasar, around the clock. It is ready to escort the incoming report and complaints provided that the complainants have the qualification of victim or represent the victim and have sufficient evidence. “Since this has happened continuously and we record almost hundreds of actual events, it is important for us to work together so that people are not confused where to complain. If there is a serious complaint, we ensure this post will follow up in a sequence,” he said. Ariel added that if the perpetrators of restraint are police officer, the mechanism of complaints is done in stages on their superiors. When committed by chief of provincial police, it will be reported to national police chief, national police commission to profession and security division at national police headquarters. He considered the prohibition or appropriation of BTR attributes by police officers is a reckless act having no legal basis. “We challenge them (police— Ed) to mention where the violation of the BTR attribute is, either in the form of pictures, clothes, posters or billboards. Whenever they would like to meet us, we challenge them to explain it,” he said. (kmb32)

Farming in narrow space with container fruit gardening

DENPASAR — Container fruit gardening becomes the choice of farming for Made Sumertana. This man from Singaraja has pursued container fruit gardening (tabulampot) since 2009. At first, he traveled around Indonesia to hunt fruit crops for sale at his Bali Fruit Garden agrotourism. However, two years after that he started producing his own container fruit gardening. When met recently at the Bali Fruit Garden on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, Denpasar, he said that he is not a graduate from agriculture department. He is only a graduate of STT Telkom technical college. “I am retiring early from Telkom because I want to find out a job without stress,” he said. Finally, he chose to make Bali Fruit Garden agrotourism located downtown Denpasar. By studying and figuring out about the techniques, the farming could be mastered. It did not take long time to master the farming techniques because he uses the right brain science. In addition to making his own container, the fertilizer is also his own production. The fertilizer in use is obtained from the lava of Mount Batur. “Every eruption of a mountain, the soil must be very fertile because formation of the lava has been thousands of years,” he explained. Volcanic lava is used as media of the container fruit gardening. When the media is watered, seepage from the lava is going to form fertilizer. Sometimes he uses sand as a medium of planting taken in Malang posing the result of a mountain eruption. He also understands about how to care for plants. “If it is newly planted, apply root fertilizer, if it will grow leaves, apply growth fertilizer. If wishing to stimulate fruits, simply apply fruit fertilizer,” he explained. According to him, farming is a fun and healthy activity. Farming fruit especially in container is more efficient in terms of land use. With the concept of urban farming like container fruit gardening, a onehundred square meters of land can resemble the land of 2,000 square meters. With this container fruit gardening technique, the trees can be moved, the fruits can be arranged, the size of plant can be arranged and even made dwarf, and make a large amount of money. “From container fruit gardening, one could be a millionaire,” he joked. Although he seemed to joke, he has proved based on his experience of selling container fruit gardening. For example, bonsai of tamarind trees is commonly sold for IDR 300,000-IDR 400,000, but with container fruit gardening technique, bonsai of tamarind can be sold for IDR 30 million. “I do not sell trees, but I sell an art,’ he said. He asserted it because the art of container fruit gardening lies in plants with old enough age, dwarf posture and the ability to bear fruit. “Container fruit gardening is a fruit plant dwarfed so that it can bear fruit though being in small posture. Though being old, the size and taste of the fruits is the same. H o w e v e r, t h e number of fruit is a little because the space for the fruit is a little,” he explained. U n t i l n o w, his business has grown well in terms of agro-tourism and the selling of container fruit gardening as well as plant rental and maintenance. He got many projects from hotels wishing the arrangement and maintenance of plants at the hotel. His production is located IBP/kmb42 in Denpasar and Made Sumertana Petang. (kmb42)

Lebaran homecoming traffic

Crossing increases, water police intensify marine patrol

AMLAPURA — In the series of Lebaran homecoming traffic, the crossing situation around the waters of Karangasem is also crowded. To anticipate the moment from being used by perpetrators of crime, water police unit of Karangasem police continuously patrol the sea around the waters of Karangasem. As was done on Friday (Jun. 23), several passing ships had been searched. Besides, the loading and unloading activities at the Padangbai traditional harbor also continued to be highlighted by the officer of Karangasem water police. Chief of Karangasem police unit, I Made Wartama, said on Friday that he and his seven personnel regularly conduct patrols in the middle of the sea from 08:00. The officers use C2 type boat to comb the waters of Karangasem every day. Lastly, the boat of Karangasem water police stopped the voyage of one of the ships, Kapal Pulau 08, crossing Karangasem from Benoa Harbor. The boat of water police immediately intercepted and inspected the ship. The ship with the skipper Dwi Wibowo sailed from Benoa to Borneo to take and transport fish to Benoa. “After we searched, there was nothing suspicious. Having been ascertained, all the letters have qualified, so that we allowed

it to resume its voyage,” he said. Other than the Kapal 08, the officers also intercepted the VlieVi ship and directly inspected the ship with the skipper Mawadi from Southeast Sulawesi. When inspected by the officers, the ship’s captain said to sail from Ambon to Benoa, Bali. The ship crossing the waters of Karangasem with five crews was immediately inspected by the officers in the middle of the sea. After being examined, no hazardous items were found. “The sailing administration is also complete, so we let it continue to Benoa,” he said. The marine patrol is considered an important security aspect by police in order to maintain the security of Bali amid the

high homecoming traffic. Do not let the moments of homecoming traffic is also used by certain groups to smooth their malicious intent that threatens the security of Bali. In addition to targeting ships passing through the waters of Karangasem, the Karangasem water police also keep monitoring the movement of fast boats in Padangbai traditional harbor. Moreover, recently the crossing traffic is also reported to continuously increase after entering holiday season. “So far, from our regular patrols, the situation is still safe, no suspicious things are found. However, we will continuously intensify the patrols at sea by working with fishermen,” he affirmed. (kmb31)

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte supporters gather during a vigil backing the anti-drugs crackdown at the Luneta park in metro Manila, Philippines February 25, 2017.

More blood but no victory as Philippine drug war marks its first year

MANILA - Launched a year ago, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs has resulted in thousands of deaths, yet the street price of crystal methamphetamine in Manila has fallen and surveys show Filipinos are as anxious as ever about crime. Duterte took power on June 30 last year, vowing to halt the drug abuse and lawlessness he saw as “symptoms of virulent social disease.” Thanks to his campaign, government officials say, crime has dropped, thousands of drug dealers are behind bars, a million users have registered for treatment, and future generations of Filipinos are being protected from the scourge of drugs. “There are thousands of people who are being killed, yes,” said Oscar Albayalde, Metro Manila’s police chief told Reuters. “But there are millions who live, see?” A growing chorus of critics, however, including human rights activists, lawyers and the country’s influential Catholic Church, dispute the authorities’ claims of success. They say police have summarily executed drug suspects with impunity, terrorising poorer communities and exacerbating the very lawlessness they were meant to tackle. “This president behaves as if he is above the law - that he is the law,” wrote Amado Picardal, an outspoken

Filipino priest, in a recent article for a Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines publication. “He has ignored the rule of law and human rights.” The drug war’s exact death toll is hotly disputed, with critics saying the toll is far above the 5,000 that police have identified as either drugrelated killings, or suspects shot dead during police operations. Most victims are small-time users and dealers, while the masterminds behind the lucrative drug trade are largely unknown and at large, say critics of Duterte’s ruthless methods. If the strategy was working the laws of economics suggest the price of crystal meth, the highly addictive drug also known as ‘shabu’, should be rising as less supply hits the streets. But the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency’s own data suggests shabu has become even cheaper in Manila. In July 2016, a gram of shabu cost 1,200-11,000 pesos ($24-$220), according to agency’s figures. Last month, a gram cost 1,000-15,000 pesos ($20-$300), it said.

The wide ranges reflect swings in availability and sharp regional variations. Officials say Manila’s street prices are at the lowest end of the range. And that has come down, albeit by just a few dollars. “If prices have fallen, it’s an indication that enforcement actions have not been effective,” said Gloria Lai of the International Drug Policy Consortium, a global network of non-governmental groups focused on narcotics. The problem is, according to Derrick Carreon, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency’s spokesman, that while nine domestic drug labs have been busted, shabu smuggled in from overseas has filled the market gap. “Demand needs to be addressed because there are still drug smugglers,” Carreon said. While smuggled shabu has kept the price down in the capital, the official data shows the price has gone up in the already substantially more expensive far-flung regions, like the insurgency-racked southern island of Mindanao. Duterte declared martial law in Mindanao last month after militants inspired by Islamic State stormed Marawi City, and the army’s failure to retake the city quickly has dented the president’s image as a law-and-order president.

made by his predecessor, Barack Obama. Trump broke off what was supposed to be an hour-long call after 25 minutes and later tweeted that the refugee deal was “dumb”. When the two leaders met faceto-face in New York in May, Trump said that their first phone call “got a little bit testy” but they now “get along great”. Last week, the White House brushed off news a leaked video of Turnbull making fun of Trump during a news media ball in the Australian capital Canberra that was supposed to have been off the record.

China’s Xi to visit Hong Kong for 20th anniversary of handover

BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Hong Kong from June 29 to July 1 to mark the 20th anniversary of the handover of the Asian financial hub from British colonial rule to the mainland, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday. Hong Kong was handed back to China under a “one country, two systems” formula, promising a high degree of autonomy on July 1, 1997. Xi’s visit comes at a time when many Hong Kong residents see China as increasingly interfering in city affairs. Of particular concern were the abduction by mainland agents of some city booksellers who spe-

cialised in critical material and Beijing’s efforts in disqualifying two pro-independence lawmakers elected to the city legislature. An annual protest to press for full democracy in the city is expected to take place after Xi’s departure on the afternoon of July 1. During Xi’s first visit to Hong Kong as China’s president, he will oversee the swearing in of new Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam. Lam, chosen as chief executive by an electoral college stacked with Beijing loyalists, has promised to heal divisions in the city and improve the government’s relationship with the opposition and the public.

BUSINESS Policy ponder: central banks head for the Portuguese hills LONDON - The cool shade of the hills above Lisbon will offer leading central bankers an escape from the summer heat in the coming week, but there is little they can do to get away from their differing monetary policy conundrums. As the global financial crisis slowly fades from the rearview mirror, the world’s biggest central banks are struggling to decide how and when and what speed they can begin returning their monetary policy settings to something like normality. The highlight of the European Central Bank’s “Forum on Central Banking” in Sintra -- the old getaway of Portuguese monarchs -- is likely to be Wednesday’s panel discussion including the heads of the European, British, Japanese and Canadian central banks. For the ECB, the main issue over the next few months, after giving up its bias towards more rates cuts earlier this month, is whether to extend or start winding down its bond-buying programme. With euro zone growth picking up and inflation slowly moving in the right direction, as price data at the end of the week may show, the idea of extending the programme will be anathema to the bank’s more hawkish members, Germany in particular. The 2.3 trillion euro programme, designed to revive inflation, is set to run until the end of 2017, and a gradual withdrawal known as tapering would carry it well into next year. On top of the economic arguments over whether to extend the programme, there is a technical

Betel Nut Box, a Tradition of the Elderly when Receiving Guests

Nampin or chewing betel leaves is one of the traditions that remains strong amongst Balinese elders. According to one respected elder named Ni Ketut Darma, who still chews betel leaves everyday, tradtionally the ingredients for betwel chewing are kept in a special betel nut box called pabuan or pecanangan. “When we use this box at home we call it pabuan, but when we serve guests we call this penginangan, using more refined language” she explained. According to Grandma Darma, the betel nut box is made of wood in the long side shape where it generally consists of some compartments containing lime, betel leaves, gambier, betel nut,

betel nut mortar and pestle or panyawisan, small knife, and caket (used to halve areca nut). She said that in the past the betel nut box was the first thing to be served to guests who came or when visiting

other people’s homes. “Presenting betel nut box and nampin has become a tradition in the life of Balinese people, until now this tradition remains to be implemented especially by parents

like me,” she said. She added the betel nut box is not only served at home, but also at temple with a different designation. At temple, it is called pacanangan, functioned as the offerings presented to deities. Pabuan and pacanangan is basically not the same. Pabuan served at home usually contains lime, gambier, betel leaf, betel nut, betel nut mortar and pestle, small knife, and caket, while the pecanangan at temple has

the same contents with additional ingredients like thread, money and fruits. When asked about how she feels when doing nampin, she just claimed to be accustomed to doing it. Men and women of her age usually do it. It is tasteless but the lips feel abrasive. It feels nothing due to the mixture with lime. “Our lips are abrasive, but I have been accustomed to the taste,” she said. (kmb)

A figure decorates a street in downtown Sintra October 7, 2014. problem: the growing scarcity of German government bonds available for the ECB to buy. Sources with direct knowledge of the discussion told Reuters this will be a key consideration for the bank when it discusses the bond-buying programme. Data from Germany’s Ifo economic institute on Monday is expected to show only a slight fall in business morale this month from

last month’s record high, which may strengthen the resolve of those opposed to yet more money printing by the central bank. “Our base case is that in September the ECB will announce a reduction of monthly purchases, starting in January 2018,” Credit Suisse analysts said in a weekly note to investors. BOE, BOJ, BOC The Bank of England, meanwhile, is caught between rising inflation and a 30-year high in factory orders on the one hand and weak wages, political instability and the complex process of extricating the country from the European Union on the other. The Bank voted 5-3 last week to keep borrowing costs unchanged - a closer outcome than expected - and on Wednesday its chief economist surprised investors by saying he was close to voting for a rate hike, too.

Part of the reason for the narrow split is inflation has hit its highest level in nearly four years, pushed up by the slump in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote. Overall, analysts seem unconvinced that the Bank will vote in favour of increasing borrowing costs anytime soon. “We find it hard to see why the BoE as a committee will risk a rate hike as the country heads into the Brexit negotiations in an environment of high political and economic instability,” Credit Suisse wrote. While the Bank of England and European Central Bank wrestle with their policy problems, however, spare a thought for the Bank of Japan and its bondbuying hangover. After years of snapping up bonds in a bid to revive inflation, the BOJ holds assets equivalent to more than 90 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. And

still inflation remains far below its 2 percent target rate, as a raft of data due out on Friday are expected to show. Nevertheless, with the economy showing signs of recovery, talk is emerging about how the BOJ can begin preparing an exit strategy. It faces a tricky balancing act: It must convince the markets it has a game plan, but if it reveals too much too quickly, investors could dump their bonds, sending yields sharply higher and destabilising the market. The Bank of Canada, meanwhile, shocked markets recently when it raised the prospect of hiking rates sooner than had previously been anticipated. But data on Friday showed the country’s inflation rate cooled more than expected in May, reducing the odds of an early rate rise. So it too finds itself in the need of a bit of a Portuguese getaway.(rtr)

Buleleng Siobak a Very Delicious Food

Foodies may already be familiar with this delicacy made of boiled pork in thick gravy that is called siobak. The district of Buleleng is well known for its rich varety of culutre – including its special foods. In fact a visit to Buleleng would not be complete without indulging in some of its culinary treasures such as its popular Siobak. Siobak can be found in a variety of places in Buleleng ranging from street vendors to fine restaurant. Aye Syobak is the name of one of the street stalls that is quite popular in Buleleng. Manager Ketut Utama explained that he inherited his Siobka recipes from his biological grandmother and that he grew up learning how to run a the family

food stall, so when Ketut got married, he dicided to continue the family business. Ketut also explained that they always use selected pork and in order to eliminate the pungent odor of pork they first boil the meat with spieces and soy sauce. This boiling process also yields the tasty gravy for which they are famous while the sauce soy sauce gives that special sweetness. They also use pork skin, fatty meat, offal and head of pork. “ Actually it is easy to make siobak, you just need meat and seasoning” he added. People from all over Buleleng and other parts of Bali come to enjoy this 62 year old man’s special siobak. “We often have customaers from Malaysia and other foreign

countries who stop by when visitiing Buleleng”, said Ketut. The distinctives foods of Buleleng are clearly not just popular with locals but with people from all over. Since siobak there are more and more people serving siobak in Bulelelng, Ketut needs to keep his recipie fine tuned in order to remain competitive. “Since my mother’S time our flavour has remained the same. It feels original without adding extra ingredients” he said. According to Ketut Utama, it is important to keep the authenticity of Buleleng siobaks’ flavour. Aye Syobak which was first established in 1975 is located near the former harbor of Buleleng, at 38 Jalan Surapati.(kmb)

Turkey’s Erdogan says Arab demands on Qatar unlawful

ISTANBUL - President Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday dismissed calls for Turkey to close a military base in Qatar and said a wider list of demands issued by four Arab states was an unlawful intervention against the Gulf state’s sovereignty. In his strongest statement of support for Qatar in the nearly three-week-old crisis centred on the Gulf state, Erdogan said the call to withdraw Turkish forces was disrespectful and that Doha - which described the demands as unreasonable - was taking the right approach. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain imposed a boycott on June 5 on Qatar and issued 13 demands including closing Al Jazeera television, curbing relations with Iran, shutting the Turkish base and paying reparations. Doha said it was reviewing the list, but said it was not reasonable or actionable. “We approve and appreciate the attitude of Qatar against the list of 13 demands,” Erdogan, speaking outside a mosque in Istanbul, said. “...This approach of 13 demands is against international law because you cannot attack or intervene in the sover-

eignty of a country.” Bahrain’s foreign minister said on Sunday that outside interference would not solve the problem. “It is in the interest of these powers to respect the existing regional order which is capable of solving any issue that may arise,” Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa said in a message on Twitter, without naming Turkey. The 13 demands are apparently aimed at dismantling Qatar’s interventionist foreign policy which has incensed conservative Arab peers over its alleged support for Islamists they regard as threats to their dynastic rule. Qatar along with Turkey, whose ruling AK Party has its roots in Islamist politics, backed a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt before it was overthrown in 2013. The Arab states have demanded Qatar cut any links to the Brotherhood and other groups they deem to be terrorist, ideological or sectarian. (rtr)

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gestures during a session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russia, June 2, 2017.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold their first face-to-face meeting in Washington on Monday, seeking to boost U.S.-Indian relations despite differences over trade, the Paris climate accord and immigration. Their White House session promises less pomp than Modi’s previous visits to Washington, which included former President Barack Obama taking him to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in 2014. But Trump administration officials have pointed to both leaders’ impact on social media - each has more than 30 million Twitter followers - as proof that they are cut from the same cloth, and predicted the two would get along well. Trump built a Trump Tower property in Mumbai and spoke warmly of India during his presidential campaign last year. “The White House is very interested in making this a special visit,” said one senior official. “We’re really seeking to roll out the red carpet,” Modi will try to strengthen ties that have appeared to loosen. In-

dian officials, noting both men’s tendency to speak their mind, were anxious to see how they get along. They will have one-on-one talks followed by statements to the news media without taking questions. They will then have a working dinner, the first time Trump has played host to a foreign dignitary at a White House dinner. “If the chemistry is good, everything else gets sorted,” said an Indian official. “The only way is up. How much up we go depends on the leaders. If they click, we go up higher.” While progress is expected in defense trade and cooperation, there are frictions elsewhere. Trump, who campaigned on an “America First” platform, has been troubled by the growing U.S. trade deficit with India. He has called for reform of the H-1B visa system that has benefited Indian tech firms. He set the United States on a path to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and accused India of negotiating unscrupulously for the accord in order to walk away with billions of dollars in aid.

Muslim women and children attend an Eid al-Fitr mass prayer to mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan at Sunda Kelapa port in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 25, 2017.

Indonesian policeman killed in knife attack by suspected militants JAKARTA - An Indonesian police officer was stabbed and later died of his wounds in an attack by suspected Islamist militants in the city of Medan, a police spokeswoman said on Sunday. Police shot dead one suspect and one was arrested after the attack on a police post in the capital of North Sumatra province, police spokeswoman Rina Sari Ginting said by telephone. The perpetrators had scaled the fence of the police post near police headquarters and shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) before stabbing the officer, said Ginting. The attack will compound fears about rising militancy in Indone-

sia, which has the world’s biggest Muslim population. Islamic State sympathizers have carried out a series of mostly low-level attacks in Indonesia over the past few years. National police spokesman Setyo Wasisto said authorities were investigating whether the attackers were inspired by Islamic State and acting on the instructions of Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian who went to fight for the militants in Syria. There are fears across Southeast Asia that as Islamic State loses ground in the Middle East, it will seek footholds elsewhere. Indonesian authorities have tightened security for this weekend’s Eid al-Fitr holiday

marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Last month, a suicide bomb attack by Islamic State-inspired militants at a bus station in the capital, Jakarta, killing three police officers. President Joko Widodo has urged parliament to accelerate plans to tighten anti-terrorism laws to meet new dangers, including giving police powers to detain suspects without trial for longer and to arrest people for hate speech or for spreading radical content and joining proscribed groups. National police chief Tito Karnavian said last week about 40 suspected militants had been detained in recent weeks.(rtr)

The wife of the arrested man told police her husband had spent six months in Syria in 2013, said police spokeswoman Rina Sari Ginting, adding this was still being investigated. Police believe the men were part of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), an umbrella organization on a U.S. State Department “terrorist” list which supports Islamic State and has hundreds of Indonesian followers. “We can see from the pattern of their attack that it is likely they belong to the JAD network,” said Ginting. There is concern about a rise of militancy in Indonesia, which has the world’s biggest Muslim population. Islamic State sympathisers have carried out a series of mostly lowlevel attacks over the past few years, and there are fears about the return of hundreds of Indonesians

who have gone to Syria to support Islamic State. The books aimed at children found at the home of the arrested man were written in Indonesian and included pictures and messages supportive of dying in jihad, or holy war, Ginting said. They appeared to be designed and printed by the suspect, she said. Police believe the suspects had intended not only to kill police during Sunday’s knife attack but also to seize their guns. Out of 12 people being questioned in connection with the attack, one had been made a suspect and is alleged to have helped the attackers by surveying the police headquarters, she said. Police were also investigating whether the attackers were linked to three suspected militants who were arrested on June 6 in the area by anti-terrorism police.(rtr)

alive. He was making great progress. He nailed it. “He was very consistent over those final 20 laps, found a great rhythm and was able to bring it home and close the race out. I think I aged about 10 years. There was every emotion you could imagine in that race. “We’re desperately disappointed to have lost Max but to get a win on this type of circuit is nothing we could have imagined. Max will be impatient but he’s had great pace and can see the car getting stronger. “Luck evens itself out. Daniel has had four podiums and a race win but I’m sure a big race is around the corner

for Max.” After retiring in Bahrain, Spain and Canada, Verstappen has not hidden his frustrations with Red Bull’s recent technical issues, complaining after qualifying that the unreliable engine was limiting his progress. Ricciardo, who has largely avoided the mechanical issues that have affected his team mate, was able to spare a thought for Verstappen. “We’re still not perfect yet,” the Australian driver said. “We got one car to victory lane but we haven’t had two cars finishing strongly since China. That’s a target for the team to get both close if not on the podium soon. “Max’s misfortune will turn around. We’re at that point in the season where, give it another couple of races, we’ll get closer and closer.” (rtr)

ASSEN - Yamaha’s Italian great Valentino Rossi made history and returned to the top of the MotoGP podium for the first time in more than a year on Sunday after winning the Dutch TT at Assen by a fraction of a second. The evergreen 38-year-old beat compatriot Danilo Petrucci, on a nonworks Octo Pramac Ducati, to second place by a mere 0.063 with rain midway through the race making conditions tricky. Triple world champion Marc Marquez was third for Honda. Rossi has now been a winner across all classes for longer than any other rider in the history of motorcycling, Sunday’s victory coming 20 years and 313 days since his first in what was then the 125cc category. Fellow Italian Andrea Dovizioso finished fifth for Ducati to take over at the top of the standings, four points clear of Yamaha’s Spaniard Maverick Vinales who crashed out after starting in 11th place. Rossi is now third overall and seven points off the lead. He now has 115 grand prix wins across all classes, second only to compatriot Giacomo Agostini’s 122 victories between 1964 and 1977. “This place is always special,” said Rossi of a circuit known as the ‘Cathedral’ of motorcycling. “I am so happy for me and my team because I’m back in first place after one year and it was a great race.” The victory was Rossi’s 10th at Assen but first since the Catalan Grand Prix in Barcelona on June 5 last year. bThe Italian took the lead with 15 laps to go after starting fourth, with French Yamaha Tech3 rider Johann Zarco on pole for the first time, but was then overtaken by Petrucci with five remaining after rain began to fall. Rossi hit back on the following lap and held on to the finish. Zarco fell out of contention after pitting to swap bikes with seven laps to go and then being caught speeding in the pitlane. Vinales had made his way to fifth place before crashing at the chicane. “I can’t explain what happened, because I don’t even know why I crashed,” he said. “I was pushing myself over the limit, trying to bring the Yamaha to the top and I think that if I hadn’t crashed I could have reached the riders in front. “It was everything or nothing and finally I got nothing.” (rtr)

SACRAMENTO - Rising star Christian Coleman’s weekend of disappointment continued on Sunday as he lost the 200 metres at the U.S. nationals and world championships trials to Ameer Webb. Coleman, beaten by Olympic silver medallist Justin Gatlin in the 100 metres on Friday, was pipped by 0.01 seconds by Webb who closed quickly to win in 20.09 seconds. “It’s been a long weekend,” said

Coleman, the year’s fastest man at 9.82 seconds in the 100 metres. “I felt my legs tighten up near the end, but no excuses. “It was a pretty successful week, qualifying for the team in two events.” Co-favorite Noah Lyles’s world championship hopes ended when he withdrew from the semi-finals with a hamstring strain. Upsets also struck in the men’s 110m hurdles and women’s 200 on

the final day of the selection meet for August’s world championships in London. Former American indoor champion Aleec Harris surprised world record holder Aries Merritt in the hurdles, running 13.24 to Merritt’s 13.31. “We were running into a headwind, and that’s tough for a guy who only weighs 160 pounds,” Merritt said. “I haven’t done any speed work yet and I’m running

really fast. I’m excited about what’s to come this summer.” Collegian Deajah Stevens took down Olympic bronze medallist Tori Bowie in the women’s 200, also run into a headwind. Stevens won in 22.30 seconds, followed by Kimberlyn Duncan (22.59) and Bowie (22.60), all making the U.S. team. “I have never been to London so that is going to be fun,” said Stevens. “There are so many great

American sprinters, it is great competition running with them.” Olympic gold medallists Dalilah Muhammad and Ryan Crouser provided the brightest moments for established athletes, both claiming 2017’s bests. Muhammad won perhaps the most impressive women’s 400 metres hurdles race ever, blazing 52.64 seconds as three women dipped under 53 seconds in the same race for the first time in history. (rtr)

Sp rt FIFA’s video review system under scrutiny again in Russia SOCHI — FIFA’s new video review system is bringing turmoil to the Confederations Cup, with technology designed to deliver quick, clear decisions agitating players and leaving coaches and fans confused. Perhaps even worse for FIFA, the latest controversy on Sunday — exactly one week after four goal reviews in that day’s two matches — made one of the world’s highest-rated referees look hesitant and wrong. Wilmar Roldan sent off a Cameroon defender more than three minutes after a high tackle on a German opponent and only after his own case of mistaken identity. The Colombian official arrived at what was arguably the correct decision following two visits to the touchline to consult video replays and first showing only a yellow card, then a red card, to the wrong Cameroon player. “I think everyone is confused, including me,” Cameroon coach Hugo Broos said of referee Roldan after a 3-1 loss in Sochi that eliminated his team. “He and he alone can explain what happened there in that moment.” Cameroon was also involved in two video decisions last Sunday, when possible Chile goals were reviewed for offside rulings. The first goal was disallowed, the second counted in Chile’s 2-0 victory. Portugal had most to complain about one week ago when a potential opening goal in a 2-2 draw with Mexico was ruled out by an offside judged in an earlier phase of play. FIFA stressed last week that all decisions proved ultimately correct, and the controversies were simply inevitable overreactions as world football gets used to a new system being put to its highest-profile tests. Indeed,

FIFA President Gianni Infantino felt confident to proclaim video review was “the future of football” and still on track to be approved by the guardians of the game’s laws before the 2018 World Cup. Human error by Roldan seemed the biggest problem Sunday though it added to the perception that video review is capable of causing as much controversy as it solves. FIFA has certainly pulled back from its prediction last year that game-changing decisions — goals scored, penalty kicks awarded, red cards, mistaken identity — could be reviewed and resolved in as few as six seconds. Accuracy is more important than speed, has become the mantra in Russia. Neither were in evidence Sunday in Sochi as Cameroon defender Ernest Mabouka eventually left the field around three minutes after his boot connected with Emre Can of Germany. Mabouka’s teammate Sebastien Siani had sarcastically applauded the referee when he was wrongly sent from the field. Eventually Siani’s slate was wiped clean and he completed the match. Still, the image of a top referee being openly disrespected will not please FIFA.

Confederations Cup volunteer Mathilde Molla smiles at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, Sunday, June 25, 2017. She has been at the World Cup, European Championship, Olympic Games and Confederations Cup. It’s not some extraordinary player or coach.

Chile’s relentless style taking toll in Russia MOSCOW - Chile’s high-octane style of play has made them one of the world’s most entertaining teams to watch but coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has admitted that it comes with a price. Pizzi said that such a relentless style involved an enormous physical effort, raising questions as to whether an ageing squad will be able to maintain it at next year’s World Cup, should they qualify. Chile press high, try to win possession deep in the opposition’s half and, when they have the ball, throw players forward in numbers in a manner which former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque once said was like “facing 11 kamikazes”. The system was first adopted under the leadership of coach Marcelo Bielsa, who took them to the 2010 World Cup. It was continued by Jorge Sampaoli who led them to their first major title, the 2015 Copa America, and now by Pizzi, who

took over at the start of last year. When it works, it makes the South American champions an almost irresistible force, as Australia coach Ange Postecoglou commented following Sunday’s 1-1 draw in the Confederations Cup. “The most important thing was not to let Chile dominate the game because when that happens, it’s almost impossible to beat them,” he said. But Pizzi, whose side face Portugal in the semi-finals on Wednesday, acknowledged that it had taken its toll. “Our style of play is very demanding, the players have to put in a great effort,” he said. “Our opponents know this and they often have a different way of playing (against us), they tend not to take the initiative. “We always want to win back the ball and this needs a lot of effort and sacrifice,” he added. “There’s no doubt that this causes wear and

tear and when the games are as close together as they are in this tournament, there is no doubt that the players feel it.” That could be even more of a concern given Chile’s age -- the Confederations Cup squad has an average age of 28.6 -- with several key players, including midfielder Arturo Vidal and defender Gary Medel, already over 30. Only two members of the squad are under 23. It was clear in the draws against Germany and Australia that Chile began to run out of steam in the second half. Pizzi, however, has made it clear that Chile’s style is also what makes them such a competitive team and he is not prepared to change it. “The team’s character and temperament is to always try and create scoring chances,” he said before the start of the tournament. “We have show that our style makes us competitive against any opponents.”(rtr)

Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan watches a monitor next to the pitch, during the Confederations Cup, Group B soccer match between Germany and Cameroon, at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi, Russia, Sunday, June 25, 2017. Roldan arrived at the Confederations Cup trying to rebuild a reputation that was damaged at the 2014 World Cup. There, he was chosen for the second game of the tournament, and incorrectly ruled out two Mexico goals. FIFA did not pick him for another refereeing duty in Brazil. To further damage

Roldan’s standing, Germany coach Joachim Loew said neither he nor Can believed the tackle merited even a yellow card. “I didn’t have the impression that it was a mean foul with the intent to hurt the opponent. It was not intentional,” Loew said through a translator at the post-match news

conference. Loew, whose Germany team will defend its World Cup title next year, still thinks video review can benefit the game — with one condition. “I think it can be finetuned over time so that decisions can be made more quickly,” the German coach said. “That would be great.”(ap)

Brazilian super-volunteer is back _ at her 2nd Confed Cup MOSCOW — She has worked at the World Cup, European Championship, Olympic Games and the Confederations Cup. A high-ranking sports official? More like a supervolunteer. Mathilde Molla, a 54-year old Brazilian photography professor, developed a passion for volunteering at international tournaments after her first event in the 2013 Confederations Cup in her native country. She was back at it a year later at the World Cup in Brazil, volunteered at the 2014 South American Games in Santiago, Chile, the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, the 2016 Euros in France and is now in Russia for her second Confederations Cup. “First, I love football. I love it,” said Molla, who teaches at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. “Volun-

teering is also an opportunity to get to know other cultures, other people, and it’s amazing to be able to share with people from all over the world.” Molla said she met two Russian volunteers at the Euros in Paris and fell in love with their culture. She is now rooming with one of them at the lodging provided for the volunteers by the local organizing committee. “I came here first and foremost because of the football, and also to know the country and its culture. And I am delighted,” she said. Fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, English and French, and now learning Russian, Molla said she uses her savings to travel to the events, since volunteers are typically not paid. In Russia, she and the other volunteers — usually college students younger than her —

are given hotel accommodations if needed and daily meals. She says she spent around $1,500 total on her Russia trip. And her logic to pay for these experiences is simple: “If I came as a tourist, I would also have to spend the money.” Her goal is to eventually change career path to focus on sports management, and she considers these events as a good opportunity to meet people and network. She also hopes to be back in Russia next year for her second World Cup. Few would compare the funloving Brazilian culture to the more stoic Russian, but Molla sees many similarities. “In the beginning, the Russians do not smile, they can be a little closed (off),” she said. “But, after some contact, they become very warm people and they joke, they smile.”(ap)

HONG KONG - Guangzhou Evergrande manager Luiz Felipe Scolari believes midfielder Paulinho’s proposed move to Barcelona is unlikely to happen as the Chinese Super League’s transfer regulations make it too expensive to find a replacement. The Brazilian’s form for the six-time Chinese champions has been impressive since signing for the club two-and-a-half years ago and the 28-year-old admitted last week that the Catalan club had expressed an interest in taking him to Spain. Scolari, however, dampened speculation that his fellow Brazilian was set to head back to Europe due to the difficulty his club would have to fill the gap left should he leave. “His release clause is 40 million euros ($44.80 million and none of the Chinese clubs will let their key players go because it would be difficult and expensive to find a replacement due to the new rules,” the Brazilian coach told reporters. Those new regulations see clubs charged a 100 percent levy by the Chinese Football Association on transfer fees of more than 45 million yuan ($6.58 million) for foreign players,

with the additional fee redirected into youth development. As a result, the summer transfer window -- which opened last Monday -- has been unusually quiet, with no new foreign signings joining the country’s top flight sides after a glut of purchases in previous windows. Chinese clubs have broken the Asian transfer record on three occasions over the last 18 months, with Jackson Martinez’s move to Guangzhou from Atletico Madrid setting a new benchmark last January. That was surpassed by Shanghai SIPG last June with the signing of Hulk from Zenit St Petersburg for 55 million euros before the same club purchased Oscar from Chelsea for

60 million euros in January. Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paulinho, meanwhile, admitted to Brazilian publication Globo Esporte that the Catalans had been in contact with his representatives. “(Barcelona) contacted my agent,” he was quoted as saying at the weekend. “There is an offer, but in life and also in my career I find myself at a very happy stage now. When you are at such a stage, it’s difficult to make a decision. “I need to weigh many things and then make up my mind. One of the critical factors is my happiness. I think firstly my wife and I are very happy in China, we like it here and we like the people.”(rtr)
