IN BRIEF PIA chairman quits over plane crash ISLAMABAD―The chairman of Pakistan’s embattled national carrier has resigned following a fatal plane crash that killed 47 people last week, one of the country’s deadliest air disasters. Muhammad Azam Saigol tendered his resignation on Monday due to personal reasons, PIA spokesman Danyal Gilani told AFP, but declined to comment further. Saigol’s resignation came after a Pakistan International Airlines plane crashed into a mountain on the way to Islamabad from the city of Chitral after one of the aircraft’s two turboprop engines failed, killing everyone on board. On Monday PIA grounded its 10 remaining ATR turboprop planes for thorough testing in the wake of the crash and another incident in which a plane was recalled to its parking bay after experiencing a fault just before take off at Multan airport.

2.2m Yemeni children are malnourished SANAA―Nearly 2.2 million Yemeni children are acutely malnourished, victims of the nearcollapse of the health care system during two years of escalating conflict, UN children’s fund UNICEF said on Tuesday. At least 462,000 are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, as food supplies have been disrupted by the devastating war between the Saudi-backed government and Shiite rebels, the agency said. Saada province, a rebel bastion in the far north, has the world’s highest stunting rate among children with eight out of 10 children affected in some areas, it added. “Malnutrition in Yemen is at an all-time high and increasing,” said UNICEF’s acting country representative, Meritxell Relano.

King enthroned in lavish ceremony KUALA LUMPUR―Malaysia on Tuesday installed its 15th king, Sultan Muhammad V, a relatively youthful monarch known for his fondness for four-wheel driving and other extreme sports. In a ceremony steeped in pomp and centuries of tradition, the 47-year-old Sultan, dressed in gold-colored traditional Malay formal wear, took the oath of office in the national palace in Kuala Lumpur. The ceremony, marked by honor guards and Islamic prayers, was televised nationally and attended by Prime Minister Najib Razak and hundreds of guests decked out in Islamic finery.

Over 200 journalists in jail in Turkey PARIS―The number of journalists detained worldwide rose in 2016, an increase related to Turkey where more than 100 journalists and media contributors are in jail, Reporters Without Borders or RSF said Tuesday. “A total of 348 journalists are currently detained worldwide –- six percent more than were detained at this time last year,” RSF said in its annual report. The figure includes bloggers and freelance contributors. “The number of detained professional journalists in Turkey has risen 22 percent after quadrupling in the wake of the failed coup d’etat in July,” it said. The number of women journalists imprisoned more than quadrupled over the period (from five to 21). “This reflects in part the growing role of women in journalism but above all the disastrous situation in
Turkey, which currently accounts for a third of the world’s detained women journalists,” RSF said. “The persecution of journalists around the world is growing at a shocking rate,” RSF secretary general Christophe Deloire said in a statement. “At the gateway to Europe, an all-out witch-hunt has jailed dozens of journalists and has turned Turkey into the world’s biggest prison for the media profession. In the space of a year, the Erdogan regime has crushed all media pluralism while the European Union has said virtually nothing.” Aside from Turkey, between them China, Iran and Egypt account for more than two-thirds of journalists imprisoned, RSF said, calling for the creation of a special representative for the safety of journalists directly attached to the office of the UN secretary general.

The potential showdown between Trump and Capitol Hill could become more contentious after the president-elect announces his pick for the critical secretary of state post on Tuesday, with key Republicans concerned over his expected choice, ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson. The president-elect has dismissed the intelligence reports about Russian interference as “ridiculous,” defying an increasing number of senators from his own party, as well as top Democrats, the Central Intelligence Agency and the outgoing White House president. US media have reported for days on secret CIA findings that Moscow sought to bolster Trump’s election bid, against Democratic former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, by releasing hacked Democratic Party documents. A group of 10 electors who Manila will ratify the election results Standard next weekTODAY -- all but one of them Democrats -- also called for a full briefing on the accusations before the 538-member Electoral College gathers on December 19. “Can you imagine if the election results were the opposite and WE tried to play the Russia/CIA card. It would be called conspiracy theory!” Trump tweeted as he began another day of cabinetbuilding talks. “Unless you catch ‘hackers’ in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn’t this brought up before election?” After the Kremlin dismissed the US intelligence findings as “absolutely unfounded,” a Trump transition spokesman dug in further, saying it was “an attempt to try to de-legitimize presidentelect Trump’s win.” Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, as well as Democrats Chuck Schumer and Jack Reed called for a bipartisan investigation with public hearings to find out what happened and to stop the threats that “cyber attacks conducted by foreign governments pose to our national security.” McCain told CBS television that there was “no doubt” about the hacking. He said the investigation should stretch across armed services, intelligence and foreign relations committees in Congress to get a full picture of the story.
But Mitch McConnell, the powerful Senate majority leader whose wife Elaine Chao is Trump’s nominee for transportation secretary, said the issue should be handled by the Senate Intelligence Committee, whose leader Richard Burr has been silent on the issue since the reports first appeared on Friday. “It’s an important subject and we intend to review it on a bipartisan basis,” McConnell told CNN. Republican Senator Michael McCaul, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said it must be “a top priority to investigate any outside interference aimed at undermining our democratic process.” The White House has also backed a congressional review. Trump has long fanned alarm among some Republicans for calling for closer ties with Moscow, perhaps at their worst since the end of the Cold War, in contrast to received wisdom in Washington that Russia remains a global security threat. American intelligence previously linked Russia to damaging email leaks from the Clinton campaign, but saw it as a broad bid to undermine confidence in the US political process. On Friday, however, The Washington Post reported that the CIA has since concluded that the aim of the cyber intrusions was to help Trump win. The report came on the heels of President Barack Obama’s order to review all cyberattacks that took place during the 2016 election cycle, amid growing calls from Congress for more information on the extent of Russian interference. Trump’s rejection of the CIA conclusions signals a likely rough start to relations with the spy agency when the president-elect takes office on January 20. “He believes that the CIA is a political institution and he’s going to have to learn that it’s not. It is apolitical,” former deputy CIA director Michael Morell told CBS. The hacking scandal raised new questions about whether Trump’s apparent favored choice for US secretary of state will be able to pass Senate confirmation. Tillerson’s extensive dealings on behalf of Exxon with Russian leader Vladimir Putin have raised conflict of interest questions. AFP
