As the second quarter gets underway, the biggest question is when soaring inflation will finally peak.
Federal Reserve minutes and a Reserve Bank of Australia meeting will provide insights on rate setters' thinking. Resilience in stocks and Russia's rouble could be put to the test.
Here's your week ahead in markets from Kevin Buckland in Tokyo, Ira Iosebashvili in New York, Tommy Wilkes, Marc Jones and Dhara Ranasinghe in London.
1/FED UP
Judging by the, albeit brief, inversion of a closely watched part of the Treasury yield curve, U.S. recession risks are rising.
An inverted curve has a solid track record for predicting recessions, but how to interpret recent bond moves presents a conundrum for investors. After the Federal Reserve's March 16 meeting offered a glowing assessment of the economic outlook, stocks are taking the bond selloff in their stride.
2/ WHEN DOVES BUY
The Bank of Japan has put its money where its mouth is, proving its position as the world's most dovish major central bank. Its standing offer to buy benchmark government bonds signals a potent defence of its yield curve control policy .
The effect of that binge is debatable: yields have only eased slightly from six-year highs, and that arguably had as much to do with U.S. Treasury yields declining from multi-year peaks.
And there's a collateral casualty of the BOJ's uber-easing: the yen, which has plumbed depths not seen since 2015. While the BOJ maintains a weaker currency is overall positive for the economy, jawboning by a queue of government officials suggests a differing view.
Australia's central bank meanwhile meets on Tuesday and while a policy change isn't expected, the bank may go further in laying groundwork for a rate hike. Markets expect one around June.
3/ BOUNCEBACK-ABILITY
Two-weeks ago Wall Street's S&P 500 and MSCI's main world stocks index were both down 14% for the year and the Nasdaq was officially in minus 20% "bear" market territory.
Now? Though the war in Ukraine rages on and interest rates are on the up, the S&P 500 is back to within 5% of its all-time high, MSCI World has recovered half of its drop and the Nasdaq is down a more manageable 8%.
Analysts hope that as and when the dust settles, corporate earnings will still look okay, and that the dreaded "stagflation" scenario will be avoided. TINA, or There Is No Alternative, is still alive and well it seems.
The next earnings season is approaching but if the Russia-Ukraine crisis does lead to a new Iron Curtain, it might get harder for stocks to defy gravity.
4/ REBOUND FOR REAL?
The rouble has staged a remarkable recovery from the record lows hit in the days following Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. In onshore, and offshore markets , where Western institutions trade with non-sanctioned Russian entities, the rouble is almost back to where it was in the run-up to the invasion.
The rise is partly down to capital controls that have suppressed rouble selling and artificially inflated the currency. But there is also a genuine improvement in Russia's balance of payments as imports collapse and soaring energy prices increase export revenues.
President Vladimir Putin's demand for rouble payments for gas, and whether European buyers agree, could be the next test for whether demand for the currency is real or engineered.
5/ END OF AN ERA
While the U.S. yield curve inverted, a sea change was taking place in euro zone bond markets with German, French and Dutch two-year debt yields popping above 0% for the first time since 2014.
Yields across the bloc ended March with their biggest monthly surge in around a decade, on expectations the ECB will soon push its minus 0.5% depo rate to 0% and above.
That would be a key moment for negative-yielding debt, global volumes of which surged above $18 trillion in 2020. Savers, banks and pension funds should all benefit; risky corporate debt and emerging markets that gained from investors' "hunt for yield" may lose out.
But calling a trend change in these volatile times is not easy. Coming days could show if yield moves back above 0% are really durable.

On Wednesday, minutes of that Fed meeting should show how policymakers view the outlook. They've already flagged bigger rate hikes to tame inflation, which is at four-decade highs. Also key would be details on how quickly the Fed might reduce its $9 trillion balance sheet, a risk some believe markets are underestimating.

Coming off a messy first month of the season as far as player availability is concerned, Atlanta United manager Gonzalo Pineda will be happy to have some selection headaches as the team rolls into the nation’s capital for Saturday’s match against D.C. United.
There is some bad news, mind you. Pineda will have a tough decision to make concerning his best central defender, Miles Robinson, who is coming off 270 minutes of action over the international break including multiple flights to Mexico, then to Orlando, to Costa Rica, and now rejoining the team in D.C. In addition, the team’s leading goalscorer Josef Martinez is also coming off a busy international break with Venezuela.
However, Thiago Almada seems set for his full debut as a starter in the team this week after plenty of time to train over the last two weeks. And we are likely to see a bigger role for Santiago Sosa after coming off the bench for the first time this season last week against Montreal.
Here’s our lineup prediction for the weekend:
- Ultimately, I think Pineda will opt to rest Miles, especially given that Franco and Campbell would’ve had plenty of time to train together this week, just as they did for a bulk of preseason.
- I think Pineda will be eager to test the 4-2-3-1 shape used against Montreal with a more preferred pair of holding CMs with Sosa coming into the team.
- It seems safe to assume Lennon will play RB after Ronald Hernandez had a poor performance last time out in addition to his missing training while away with Venezuela. The bigger question is who replaces Lennon at RW. My guess is Mulraney, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Rossetto in this lineup — maybe not playing in a traditional RW role but as a wide midfielder.

A particularly peculiar piece of footage from Mexico appears to show a pair of entities descending from the sky and frightening a group of dogs before fleeing the scene. According to a local media report, the very weird video was captured by a security camera in the community of San Vicente Chicoloapan in late February and popped up online late last week. The puzzling footage, which can be seen above, begins with what seems to be two somewhat transparent forms slowly floats down from the night sky until the oddities touch the ground. At that point, a trio of dogs at the location begin frantically reacting to the eerie intrusion while keeping a safe distance from the 'visitors.'

PRAGUE (AP) — This is Radio Ukraine calling.
A new Prague-based internet radio station has started to broadcast news, information and music tailored to the day-to-day concerns of some 300,000 refugees who have arrived in the Czech Republic since Russia launched its military assault against Ukraine.
In a studio at the heart of the Czech capital, radio veterans work together with absolute beginners to provide the refugees with what they need to know to settle as smoothly as possible in a new country.
The staff of 10 combines people who have fled Ukraine in recent weeks with those who have been living abroad for years. No matter who they are, their common goal is to help fellow Ukrainians and their homeland facing the brutal Russian invasion.
Natalia Churikova, an experienced journalist with Prague-based Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty said she couldn’t say no to an offer to become the broadcaster's editor-in-chief.
“It was for my people, for people who really needed help, who really needed support, something that would help them start a new live or restart their lives here after they have lived through very bad things trying to escape from Ukraine,” Churikova said.
Staffer Sofia Tatomyr is one of those who left to escape the war.
The 22-year-old from the western town of Kalush was making plans to move to another city in Ukraine when a friend called one morning: “Sofia, the war has just begun.”
Her parents and older brother opted to stay home, but they wanted her to join her aunt in Prague.
“It happened all of a sudden,” she said. She boarded a bus alone in Cherniutsi and arrived 28 hours later in the Czech capital, a city she’d never visited.
“When I was already abroad, I remember the moment that I was crying and I was trying to buy a ticket and I couldn't spell what ticket I need. It was really difficult,” she said.
Tatomyr worked as graphic designer and singer in Ukraine after getting a degree as a publisher and media editor. Radio broadcasting was part of her courses at the university. To her surprise, her aunt’s brother found an announcement about jobs for a new Ukrainian radio station.
She said she needed “some time to understand that not everybody can be at the frontline at the war and everybody has to do what he or she can do the best."
"So this is how I’m cheering myself up that I’m doing my profession, that I’m doing what I can do the best, and this is the best way I can help our people, I can help Ukraine. This is how I’m thinking about it,“ she said.
Safe in Prague, she was still trying to come to terms with the invasion of her homeland.
“It’s horrible,” she said. “I can’t still find any logical explanation for what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. In the 21st century, a war? Why? We were a peaceful nation living just our lives.”
Another announcer, Marharyta Golobrodska, was working as a copywriter for a software company when she received a call from Churikova, whom she knew from an internship at Radio Free Europe.
“I used to consider those who get up early to be ready to work from 6 a.m. crazy, but that’s what I do now and I thoroughly enjoy it,” Golobrodska said. “That’s what I always wanted to do, to be helpful for my country, even though I live so far away.”
For 12 hours each weekday — and 11 hours on weekends — Radio Ukraine plays Ukrainian and western music while presenting news of Ukraine and the Czech Republic together with information for refugees every 15 minutes. It includes details about where they can get the documents they need from local authorities, how to get a job or medical treatment, or how to find a place for children at schools. Children can listen to Ukrainian fairy tales.
A native of the southern city of Mykolaiv, Golobrodska has lived in the Czech Republic for eight-and-a-half years. After the invasion, she traveled to western Ukraine to meet her mother and 9-year-old sister and drive them to safety. In Prague, she got them involved in her broadcast.
“My mum, for example, told me she’d like to hear what she’s not supposed to do here. For example, that she can’t park the car anywhere she wants to like in Ukraine,” she said.
Bohemia Media, which operates several radio stations in the Czech Republic, came up with the idea to launch the station. It provided a studio and its people cooperated with the Ukrainian embassy, the local Ukrainian community and others to make it reality in three weeks. It also covers the salaries.
Lukas Nadvornik, the owner of the Mediapark, a company that represents Bohemia Media, said the plan is for the station to remain on air as long as it’s needed. The key task for now is to let know as many potential listeners as possible about its existence.
One of them is Sophia Medvedeva. The 23-year old web designer couldn't hold back tears as she talked about the recent six-day drive with her mother and younger brother from Mykolaiv to Krakow, Poland.
But in Prague, she joined her fiancé and Radio Ukraine helped her adapt to a new life.
“I’m so amazed about the chance to listen to Ukrainian music when I’m not in my homeland. I feel that I’m not alone,” she said. Her only recommendation for it is to invite a psychologist to “advise the Ukrainian refugees about how to fight the survivor syndrome and how to fight depression.”

Valley View's baseball team kept its perfect run against in-state competition intact with a near flawless outing on the road Friday.
Slade Caldwell's grand slam in the second inning spearheaded the Blazers to a convincing 13-1 victory over Little Rock Christian on a chilly evening at Warrior Field in Little Rock.
Kannon Jones also had three hits and four RBI for Valley View (13-2), which hasn't been beaten by a team from Arkansas since falling to Brookland 6-5 on April 27, 2021. The Blazers' only two defeats this season were to teams from Alabama during spring break, but they weren't in any serious danger of dropping another one after running out to a 7-0 lead after two innings against Little Rock Christian.
"I was proud of the guys for the way they came out," Valley View Coach Josh Allison said. "Coming 21/2 hours and getting right off the bus, they were ready to go. I thought we set the tone in that first inning when Slade got on, and he used his legs to score us a quick run.
"Then he used his bat in that next inning with that home run, and that was probably the dagger early. And I thought our guys threw it well, too. We did struggle at times throwing strikes, but all in all, I was pleased because we were able to overcome it."
The defending Class 4A champs finished with 10 hits while limiting Little Rock Christian (10-4) to only three, two of which came in the third inning. But Valley View stunned the Warriors quick in the first to put them in a predicament that they had a hard time getting out.
Caldwell drew a game-opening walk, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error before scoring on Grayson Becker's grounder to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead. Valley View, though, erupted for six runs on four hits in the ensuing inning, highlighted by Caldwell's bases-loaded blast over right-center field fence. Jones and Carter Saulsbury had run-scoring hits in the inning as well.
Little Rock Christian did respond by loading the bases in both the second and third but could muster just one run. The Warriors left nine runners on base in the game.
"We were in a couple of jams but got out of them by making pitches when we needed to make them," Allison said. "Obviously we don't want to put guys on, but [Grayson Becker] was working through some mechanical issues there. He was really good early, throwing hard. It was a good step in the right direction for him, though."
Cade Bowman scored on a walk in that third inning to get the Warriors on the board, trimming their deficit to 7-1. Jones would later register an RBI double in the fifth for Valley View until the Blazers put up five runs in the seventh to put the game away.
Jones had a two-run double and Caldwell chimed in with an RBI-single while Becker contributed a sacrifice fly. Kayson Becker also scored on a grounder from Carson Turley.
"This is a big win for us," Allison said. "Honestly, we treated it like any other game, but to come on the road and beat a high caliber Class 5A team is always huge. Of course, we expect to compete with guys like that.
"So now, we'll move on and try to get the next one, keep this thing going."
Bowman had two hits for Little Rock Christian, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.

By- Travellers vaccinated against Covid-19 may with immediate effect now travel without producing a Covid-19 PCR negative test through the country’s borders.
This follows the gazetting of the new regulations by the Minister of Health and Child Care Dr Constantino Chiwenga today.
Under Statutory Instrument 67 of 2022, vaccinated travellers are allowed to enter and leave the country and those who are not vaccinated will have to produce a PCR negative certificate not valid for more than 48 hours.
On Tuesday, Cabinet resolved to scrap PCR test requirements for all returning residents and visitors provided they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
“The Public Health (Covid-19), Prevention, Containment and Treatment (national Lockdown) (No 2) (Amendment) order 2022 (No 40), published in Statutory Instrument 18 of 2022, is amended in section 2…by the repeal of paragraph c and substitution of e for the purpose of Section 8 (power to close ports of entry and exit,” read part of SI 67 0f 2022.
“Provided that this paragraph does not apply to any returning resident or visitor who exhibits to an enforcement officer a valid vaccination certificate to the effect that he or she has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by means of one or more of the vaccines approved by the World Health Organisation for that purpose.”
The restrictions on gatherings were also lifted under the new order pending further review by the responsible minister.

Jailed in Suffolk and north Essex: The criminals locked up this week
- Credit: Suffolk police/Essex police
A man who beat a stranger so badly he was left permanently disabled and five members of an Ipswich drug gang who dealt class A drugs in four Suffolk towns are among those jailed in Suffolk and north Essex this week.
1. Danny Blueyes
Danny Blueyes, 43, was jailed for seven years after beating a stranger so badly he was left permanently disabled.
Blueyes, of Second Avenue, Walton-on-the-Naze, was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.
The 43-year-old attacked a man and abandoned him in a layby on the B1035 near Lawford, in north Essex, in freezing temperatures on the evening of January 2 last year.
The victim was then taken to hospital for treatment, having suffered fractures to his face and arm, broken ribs and a broken leg.
He now suffers from permanent disability and has said he has had "trouble adapting" and "struggled to cope" with life after the attack, Essex Police said.
Witnesses claimed that Blueyes exited the house with a sledgehammer, and continued the assault which was already taking place on the victim by his co-defendants – during which the victim was beaten with metal poles and dumbbells.

2. Lorrian Flowers
Lorrian Flowers, 34, was jailed for 40 months after running a drugs line in Colchester.
Flowers, of Papermill Place, Walthamstow, admitted to being concerned in making an offer to supply cocaine and heroin between September 2021 and February this year and possessing cannabis on February 15 this year.
He was found to be running the “CS Line” over a five-month period and sent out bulk marketing messages to drug users, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
He was arrested on February 15 and when his address in east London was searched police found 32 wraps of crack cocaine and some scales, said David Baird, prosecuting.
The court heard he had been jailed for 28 months for a previous drug offence in 2015.
3. Lamar Dagnon, Shadrach O’Connor, Daniel McCallion, Ishmael O'Connor and Tyrone Clarke
Five men were jailed for a total of 28 years for dealing class A drugs in four Suffolk towns.
The men, who were all members of the “Neno” gang from the Nacton area of Ipswich, operated four drugs lines which sold drugs in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe and Stowmarket, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
Before the court were Tyrone Clarke, 28, of Shackleton Square, Ipswich, Lamar Dagnon, 22, formerly of Nansen Road, Ipswich, and Daniel McCallion, 21, of Gilbert Road, Eastbourne.
They all admitted conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine in Ipswich between December 9, 2018 and March 19 2020.
Dagnon also admitted two offences of possessing a mobile phone in prison.
Clarke and Dagnon were each jailed for seven years and six months and McCallion was jailed for 40 months, but will be eligible for immediate release because of the time he’s spent in custody.
Also before the court were Shadrach O’Connor, 27, of no fixed address, and Ishmael O’Connor, 32, of Alston Road, Ipswich, who both admitted being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
They were each jailed for five years and three months.

Individuals with and without autism share more in common. Thus, increasing awareness of autism may be critical to help patients overcome stigma and live a better life, said experts on World Autism Day.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a collection of disorders defined by issues such as social interaction and communication difficulties. In addition, children with autism frequently exhibit behaviours such as difficulties transitioning from one task to another, a focus on minutiae, and unexpected reactions to stimuli.
Autism is the world's third most common developmental disability, a neurological illness that usually manifests by the age of three.
While several studies blame environmental and genetic reasons behind autism, Dr. Madhukar Bhardwaj, Senior Consultant, Neurology, Aakash Healthcare, Dwarka stated that "having an autistic immediate family member, mutations in the genes, fragile X syndrome and other genetic disorders, low birth weight, metabolic imbalances, exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins, viral infections in pregnant mothers are some of the other suspected risks of this disease".
Bhardwaj said that although detecting autism in children under the age of one year is challenging, a diagnosis can be made by the age of two if the signs are appropriately diagnosed.
"A quarter of children with autism spectrum condition will have a regression in language or social abilities, most commonly between the ages of 18 and 24 months," he noted.
Lack of awareness about the early signs such as exhibiting abnormal behaviours, often stigmatises the disorder. In their growing years, such children are often subjected to bullying, filthy remarks, and humiliation. The fact that the illness is frequently misdiagnosed as mental retardation or even schizophrenia contributes to the delay in diagnosis.
A landmark study from the universities of Bath, Cardiff, Manchester, and King's College London found that fundamental psychological systems are not impaired in autistic people as once thought.
In the largest study of its kind, involving over 1,000 people, the researchers tested the link between autism and 'quick' intuitive and 'slow' rational thinking.
In three experiments, they analysed the link between autistic personality traits and thinking style. In the fourth, they compared 200 autistic and over 200 non-autistic people. Overall, their results showed that autistic people think as quickly and as rationally as non-autistic people.
Even as there is yet no cure for this disease, "genetic testing for people with ASD is now being requested by developmental paediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists, as well as primary care doctors", said Dr Gauri Agarwal, Founder & Director, Genestrings Diagnostics and Seeds of Innocence.
"ASD is a complex condition for which genomic testing can give patients, families, and healthcare providers valuable clinical information. Whole Genome Sequencing will go hand-in-hand with microarrays as the standard of care genomic test for ASD in the not-too-distant future," she added.

Mental Health Horror: Girl Announces Gender Surgery Because Some of Her Identities Are Male
When conservatives raise concerns about cultural rot, radical gender ideology and the influence of social media, it’s with tragic victims like this in mind.
In a video shared to the Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok on Monday, a young woman with a private TikTok account @searogue laid out the struggle she’s having beginning her gender transition to bedcome a male — but not for the reasons one might think.
The young woman is torn because, as she claims, she is “cis-gendered” while many of the 30 or so other personalities she shares her body with are male.
It seems this is an alarming mental illness wrapped in a woke worldview that makes it worse.
WARNING: This video contains language some will find offensive.
She’s getting gender reassignment surgery because some of her identities are male. We have a serious mental health crisis in this country. pic.twitter.com/Hq2Tl7pgTd
— Libs of Tik Tok (@libsoftiktok) March 28, 2022
“I’m a member of a DID system and for me, right now, that means that in the coming months, I’m going to be able to watch some of my best friends and some of my closest companions get the body of their dreams that matches their gender, that makes them feel happy,” the young woman began.
“And in exchange, I’m going to have to give up my own,” she said of her female body.
For the uninitiated, this young woman is just one of the many users on social media who claim to have dissociative identity disorder — colloquially known as having multiple personalities — which is defined as a “person’s identity fragmenting into two or more distinct personality states,” according to Psychology Today.
“I’m cis-gendered, the majority of my headmates aren’t, and we’ve decided to transition,” the young woman explained. “Which means that as happy as I am for the men in my system, I am about to have to watch myself go through the wrong puberty.”
“And it’s going to be permanent,” she added in a panicked tone and on the verge of tears.
Since the true identity of this woman is unknown, it’s impossible to verify whether she is actually experiencing this disorder or whether the medical community considers her fit for so-called gender affirmation surgery — but would it be so hard to believe if it were all true?
We now inhabit a world where Dr. Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary of health in the Department of Health and Human Services who happens to be a biological male, was recently named one of USA Today’s “Women of the Year.”
We are alive at a time when the Walt Disney Company, long synonymous with wholesome children’s entertainment, has publicly objected to a bill aimed at shielding grammar school children from being groomed into the transgender ideology — among other things.
And our kids are becoming a generation enslaved by social media algorithms that serve up one perversion after the next in an endless stream of content made to have them addicted to it.
The plight of this young woman is plausible, and perhaps, she’s just one of the countless young people caught up in the perfect storm of moral and cultural destruction currently being unleashed on them — a deluge of delusion pouring in on them from all around.
“This isn’t my body. These aren’t my reactions or my memories. I have like 30 people living in my brain, and everything I do belongs to us, as a group,” the young woman lamented.
“That’s what so hellish about this disorder. My parents f***ed me up, and now I will never have full bodily autonomy,” she claimed before telling followers to congratulate the “men in my system because they get to transition.”
Young people today are being bombarded with this kind of confusion in schools, on social media, in their peer groups and even in their own families — and nobody is allowed to speak the truth to them.
Instead of experiencing the usual growing pains that run their course, these children are becoming fractured and fragmented as the society around them is no longer willing or able to provide the stability and firm reality they need.
There is nothing out there to guide them, no person to lead them to discover order and maturity because the left has worked diligently to dismantle all of the framework that used to help people like this young woman.
What she needs is not surgery or validation from the faceless bots on social media. This young woman needs the adults around her to gently guide her through her struggles until she is safely on the other side.
Instead, she is no doubt being met with people willing to nurture her delusions and encourage her to mutilate her body, so they can feel like the virtuous ones while they participate in the destruction of a young life.
She needs help, but the places young people used to count on to find it are becoming just as corrupted and warped as their young minds.
It’s clear from this issue that the divide between the left and right has never been wider — and leftists are all too eager to push our children into the bottomless pit of despair while we look on helplessly.

LONDON — Canada will make the case for Britain to accept imports of hormone-treated beef with "vigor and conviction," a top Canadian official has said, as the two sides try to strengthen their post-Brexit trade ties.
Ralph Goodale, the Canadian high commissioner to the United Kingdom, said improved market access for the controversial treated meat was “legitimate and appropriate and should be forthcoming" as the two sides discuss a bilateral trade deal plus Britain's wider ambitions to join a highly-prized Pacific trade bloc.
Hormone beef, which sees cows given growth hormones to boost meat production, is controversial with animal welfare advocates and some opposition politicians in the U.K. Britain maintained an EU ban on hormone beef imports after Brexit, but Canada, whose farmers do use growth hormones in farming, argue that ban lacks a clear scientific basis.
London insists it will never compromise on its food standards as part of new trade deals, while observers do not expect the Canadians to win on the issue. Instead, the expectation is it will be a point of leverage to squeeze other wins out of the U.K.
In an interview with POLITICO at the end of the first round of talks between London and Ottawa on an updated free-trade deal, Goodale made clear that the Canadian negotiators expect the U.K. to lift its longstanding ban on hormone-treated beef. "Canadian food products, including beef and meats of all kinds, are among the highest quality and safest anywhere in the world,” he declared.
He said of improved market access for the beef: “It's a very legitimate argument and we will make it with vigor and conviction.”
Goodale meanwhile hinted that Canada could play hardball over Britain's accession to the 11-nation Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) — of which Canada is a member — unless the U.K. gives ground on the separate bilateral agreement.
He said the two negotiations are distinct and that he did not expect one to be an “impediment” to the other. But he conceded there could be some political cut-across, with "factors or issues that arise in one that would inform or have an impact on the other.”
Britain and Canada launched the talks to replace the EU-Canada deal that was rolled over for the U.K. after Brexit. Ottawa comes to the bilateral talks from a position of relative strength, because the current rollover deal was negotiated while the U.K. was a member of the EU — a massive trade bloc with significant clout.
Goodale insisted Canada would not think of the U.K. as a “weaker partner” despite its size difference with the EU.
Now Britain is negotiating alone, the Canadians might seek to roll back some of the measures in the current trading arrangements. But Goodale said the updated agreement was being looked at as “an expansion not a contraction” of the existing deal, and said Canada would not seek to take advantage of Britain.
Rather, he said negotiating with the U.K. alone could be a benefit because a smaller, more nimble nation might be more flexible and creative than the EU.
"It will be interesting to see what dynamics come to the table, when you've just got two specific countries that are, in the case of the UK, in a position to be perhaps more flexible, more novel, more innovative than they could have been when it was the entire EU, which is a large and and sometimes a bit of a cumbersome apparatus,” he argued.
Battles to come
Nevertheless, Goodale made clear Canada will fight hard on some of its most protected sectors. For example, he offered little hope for U.K. farmers that Ottawa will liberalize restrictions on British cheese imports to Canada.
Under the terms of the EU rollover deal, the U.K. has an allowance on tariff-free cheese exports to Canada that is set to tighten in 2024 unless a new arrangement is agreed with the EU.
Goodale said Britain would have to battle Brussels to get its portion of the EU quota on cheese exports to Canada handed over on a permanent basis — something the EU might be unwilling to discuss.
"This is one of the lingering consequences of Brexit,” he said, stressing that Canada will not be increasing its quota for tariff-free cheese imports overall. “The U.K. share is included in the EU number and therefore that's an issue that really does need to be resolved with the EU.”
However, Goodale struck a more positive tone on other issues. He suggested Canada would allow the U.K. to continue considering imported EU parts as home-made, in order to be eligible for tariff-free trade under domestic production rules, assuming the arrangements were reciprocal.
And he said Canada would be open to some form of visa arrangements with the U.K. provided an agreement was reciprocal. However, the issue of visas is politically charged in the U.K. so London may attempt to avoid discussion of easing long-term access for Canadian workers.

TOPEKA, (KSNT)— The Kansas House passed a plan to legalize sports betting in the state around midnight, after an overnight session Friday.
A conference committee report on Senate Bill 84 was adopted in a vote of 63 to 49.
The House and Senate Federal and State Affairs conference committee finalized an agreement on the bill, including provisions to restrict greyhound racing, address gambling addiction and attract new sports teams to come to the state.
This comes as there’s been talks of a potential Kansas City Chiefs move.
In conversations on the House floor, some lawmakers speculated a new stadium may be built in Kansas with the money set aside in the bill to recruit sports teams through the “Attracting Professional Sports to Kansas Fund.”
While the sports betting measure has gained support on both sides of the aisle, some expressed concerns over whether the plan was being rushed.
“I don’t know what happened in the majority party’s caucus, but I know that in my caucus, there wasn’t any mention ever about 80% of the money going to build a new sports stadium, presumably in the Wyandotte or Johnson County area,” said Rep. John Carmichael, a democrat from Wichita. “There wasn’t any discussion whatsoever about this new fourth branch of government called the LCC being in charge of making that decision…sadly, I feel like someone was pulling a fast one on me…”
Some republicans stood in opposition to the bill, as they spoke about the future impact of sports gambling.
“Sports betting in Kansas is estimated to be a three-quarter of a billion dollar to a billion and a quarter dollar annual amount of wagering. You literally with this bill would be doubling the amount of betting in Kansas in one swoop,” said Rep. Paul Waggoner, R-Hutchinson.
The Senate adjourned around 1 a.m. before taking up the plan. They could still bring it up when lawmakers return from a three-week break.
Veto session begins when they reconvene April 25, where they can decide to override vetoes on proposals rejected by the governor.

Judge upholds Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction
NEW YORK — A U.S. judge refused to throw out Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction Friday, despite a juror’s failure to disclose before the trial began that he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse.
Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted in December of helping the millionaire Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse several teenage girls.
U.S. Judge Alison J. Nathan declined to order a new trial weeks after questioning the juror under oath in a New York courtroom about why he failed to disclose his personal history as an abuse survivor on a questionnaire during the jury selection process.
The juror had said he “skimmed way too fast” through the questionnaire and did not intentionally give the wrong answer to a question about sex abuse.
“I didn’t lie in order to get on this jury,” he said.
In her opinion, Nathan said the juror’s failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate.
The judge also concluded the juror “harbored no bias toward the defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror.”
Maxwell's lawyers had said they potentially could have objected to the man’s presence on the jury on the grounds that he might not be fair to a person accused of a similar crime.
The U.S. attorney’s office declined comment. Messages were left with Maxwell’s attorneys.

Los Lotharios are on a mission. They may not have a spot at WrestleMania 38 this year, but they will be backstage watching closely. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, they revealed their state of mind heading into The Show of Shows.
The Los Lotharios duo has been a success, even if it hasn't directly resulted in championship glory. They have been entertaining since their move to SmackDown and have crossed paths with The New Day, The Viking Raiders, Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs, to name a few.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Jose G, Angel of Los Lotharios said that it isn't as much about pressure now as it is the compromise that he and Humberto have to face:
"It's going to always be pressure. We always feel like we have our legacy on our shoulders and that we're carrying our family. Right now we feel as if we're carrying the torch. [At some point] We're going to have to say that we're done and that the next generation is coming. But right now, it's not pressure, but compromising. [We remember] all that our parents and family taught us - work hard every single day, don't worry about what we did. Do your thing, and do what you can." (0:27-1:35)
Humberto added that Los Lotharios are used to the pressure and are striving to work harder and get better:
"I think we're used to that pressure because back in Mexico we were carrying that legacy on our shoulders, now it's a little bit more of a compromise like my cousin said. But we like to work under pressure and work hard to get better and better."
Given their talents, it shouldn't be surprising to know that they come from a prestigious family of wrestlers. There is undoubtedly a big chip on their shoulders.
Check out the result from this week's SmackDown here.
Can Los Lotharios achieve tag team glory?
It's always hard to tell whether a tag team will stick around in WWE like The Usos and The New Day have. As a faction, none have had the long tenure of The New Day. The Usos, too, have been together for over a decade now.
Los Lotharios have a chance at enjoying tag team title glory, whether it's on RAW or SmackDown. It will be interesting to see how their position evolves or if they will be split and turned into singles superstars.
Would you like to see the duo remain together or for the pair to go their separate ways? Sound off in the comments below.

US ‘clearly distanced’ itself from Pakistan, says former military chief Mike Mullen
International 2022-04-02, Comments Off 0WASHINGTON: The United States has ‘clearly distanced’ itself from Pakistan, former US military chief Mike Mullen said as the White House and the State Department publicly reject claims of their involvement in Pakistan’s domestic politics.
“It is difficult, difficult to say,” said Admiral Mullen when asked to describe Washington’s relations with Pakistan, which was once a close US ally in the war against terror and during the cold war.
“I think we have clearly distanced ourselves from Pakistan over the last decade and Pakistan has more and more fallen under the umbrella of China,” he told VOA Urdu Service in Washington this week.
Admiral Mullen, who was chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 2007 to September 2011, was also named in the so-called Memogate controversy, which revolved around a memorandum, ostensibly seeking US support for preventing a feared military takeover in Pakistan that never happened.
He noted that China was not only Pakistan’s neighbour but it “has been supportive of Pakistan” as well.
This closeness, he said, “suits China’s global ambition” because Beijing would prefer to have a neighbor “closer to them and not close to the US”.
For these reasons, the US-Pakistan relationship “is going to… be tense for quite some time,” he added.
Asked if he believed Pakistan helped the Taliban take over Kabul in August last year, Admiral Mullen said: “They did not do much to stop it for sure.”
He recalled that as the US army chief he had told a congressional hearing that Pakistani intelligence agencies were active in Afghanistan “and I still believe … that connectivity is there. It sort of cuts both ways.”
The former US military chief reiterated a complaint that’s often heard in Washington that Pakistan “played on both sides (the US and the Taliban)” in Afghanistan.
On Thursday afternoon, the White House and the US State Department publicly addressed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s claim that foreign powers were supporting the attempt to unseat him.
During a regular press briefing, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, however, rejected this claim as incorrect.
“Absolutely no truth to that allegation,” she said, responding to a question.
At the State Department, spokesperson Ned Price also responded to a question about the alleged US involvement in Pakistan’s domestic politics.
“We are closely following developments in Pakistan, we respect and support Pakistan’s constitutional process and rule of law,” Mr Price said. “However, when it comes to that allegation, there is no truth to it.”__Dawn.com

Comedy Central to Premiere New Animated Series LIGHTNING WOLVES
The series will be launching on Friday, April 15th at 12pm ET across Comedy Central Animated YouTube and Comedy Central Animated Facebook.
Today, Comedy Central announced the premiere date for "Lightning Wolves," the new 8-episode series that tells the story of a team of half-Wolf, half-humanoid creatures tasked with protecting the Omniverse from the sinister Keeper of Spells, Moom and his EXTREMELY underwhelming group of lackeys. Wolfi-O, Wolfette, Wolfro, Manitoba, Dingo, and White Wolf must come together to form The LIGHTNING WOLVES, all while becoming better Wolf-people through communication, introspection, and of course, slowly spiraling out of control as they realize they are actually just TOYS and nothing really matters.
The series will be launching on Friday, April 15th at 12pm ET across Comedy Central Animated YouTube and Comedy Central Animated Facebook.
"Lightning Wolves is an homage to all those cartoons from the 80's we loved as kids," says creator and executive producer Bobby Moynihan. "THUNDERCATS, HE-MAN and SHE-RA, G.I. JOE, VOLTRON, SILVERHAWKS - cartoons that were packed full of important life lessons while secretly selling toys to children. But this one has lots of cursing."
The animated series features voice talent from Eugene Cordero, Donald Faison, Sofia Gonzalez, Taran Killam, Will McLaughlin, Bobby Moynihan, Griffin Newman, Lennon Parham, Nicole Parker, Connor Ratliff, Ben Schwartz, Jimmi Simpson, and Cobie Smulders.
"Lightning Wolves" is directed, written, executive produced and created by Bobby Moynihan. The series is produced by Big Breakfast, with Luke Kelly-Clyne, Kevin Healey and Drew Buckley as executive producers, and Kids at Play, with Jason Berger and Amy Laslett as executive producers. Animation for the series is by LowBrow Studios. Sachi Ezura, Taylor Kowalski, Lisa Kleinman and Steve Elliott are executive producers for MTV Entertainment Group.

COLOMBO: Shops opened in Sri Lanka's capital city Colombo amid tight security on Saturday - the first day after a
state of emergency was declared to tackle growing unrest amid an unprecedented economic crisis.
In an order late on Friday, President
Gotabaya Rajapaksa invoked tough laws that allow the military to arrest and detain suspects. The state of emergency was necessary to protect public order and to maintain essential supplies and services, he said in a proclamation.
Angered by shortages of fuel and other essential items, hundreds of protesters on Thursday clashed with police and the military outside Rajapaksa's residence as they called for his ouster and torched several police and army vehicles.
Police arrested 53 people and then imposed a curfew in and around Colombo on Friday to contain other sporadic protests.
Reacting to the state of emergency, American ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung said: "Sri Lankans have a right to protest peacefully - essential for democratic expression."
"I am watching the situation closely, and hope the coming days bring restraint from all sides, as well as much needed economic stability and relief for those suffering," she tweeted.
The island nation of 22 million people is grappling with rolling blackouts for up to 13 hours a day as the government scrambles to secure foreign exchange to pay for
fuel imports.
The crisis - the result of economic mismanagement by successive governments - has been compounded by the
Covid-19 pandemic, which has hit tourism and remittances.
The government has said it is seeking a bailout from the
International Monetary Fund while asking for fresh loans from India and China.
Indian traders have started loading 40,000 tonnes of rice for prompt shipment to Sri Lanka in the first major food aid since Colombo secured a credit line from New Delhi.

The buzz went on for a week after President Biden whacked a hornets nest by telling a crowd of Poles that Russian President Vladimir Putin had to go.
"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," Biden said.
Those words were still hanging in the air when the White House began issuing clarifications and European allies started scrambling to distance themselves.
That's not the policy, White House aides said. Regime change in Moscow is not the goal in Ukraine, they said, nor is it the agreed-upon posture of NATO. And indeed it was not.
But that's familiar territory for Biden. Sometimes he just says what he thinks. And he's not the first U.S. president to do so — or to pay a price for it. When it comes to relations with Russia, you could say problematic presidential pronouncements have been a pattern for decades.
Talking about Russia was a major distraction in the presidential term of Donald Trump. Before that, communicating with Putin, or his stand-in Dmitry Medvedev, was at times awkward for Barack Obama.
Even George W. Bush, with all his preoccupation with other world conflicts, still managed to stir a Russia controversy. In 2001 he said he had looked Putin in the eye and found him "very straightforward and trustworthy," adding: "I was able to get a sense of his soul."
Ten years later, Biden would say he didn't think Putin even had a soul – and be taken to task for that utterance as well.
Whether these words were momentary outbursts, planned provocations or ill-advised asides, they have often roiled the relationship with Russia or provoked angry reaction in the U.S. At times, they have done both.
It was a pattern through the long night of the Cold War, which lasted four decades after World War II. And it has been a pattern since.
A potent alliance long since gone awry
The U.S. and Russia had been allies in World War II, if only because the two countries had a common enemy in Nazi Germany. When Hitler invaded Russia in 1941, the U.S. sent food and weapons to help the Russians resist.
Later that year, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. joined the war against all the Axis powers. Americans were then encouraged to think of the Russians as plucky and indomitable partners in the global struggle against fascism.
Hollywood was recruited to aid in this attitudinal shift. One film in particular, Mission to Moscow, portrayed Franklin Roosevelt's ambassador to Russia, Joseph E. Davies, as a forceful visionary. It also depicted Soviet leaders sympathetically. Even the totalitarian dictator Joseph Stalin appeared on screen as a pipe-smoking "Uncle Joe" – full of concern for his countrymen. (The film was a lot to swallow in 1943, and it rarely appears now without drawing gasps and laughs.)
When the war ended, Stalin and the Soviets continued to occupy or dominate the countries of Eastern and Central Europe they had seized from the Nazis. The U.S. and its allies in Western Europe tacitly accepted this reality, which would remain a thorny topic for every president from Harry Truman onward.
As late as 1976, when debating his Democratic challenger Jimmy Carter, President Gerald Ford told a national TV audience he did not think the Poles felt dominated by the Soviets who had been occupying the country for 30 years.
Ford knew what he meant by that remark, but many in the audience and the media did not. Portrayed as a gaffe, the statement dominated much of the debate coverage. Some believed it slowed Ford's comeback at a crucial moment and contributed to his narrow loss to Carter.
From 'evil empire' to a ray of hope
Toward the end of the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan had referred to the Soviet Union as "an evil empire," drawing a rebuke from the Kremlin and from many in the U.S. as well.
Some critics found it unhelpful to cast the superpower rivalry in such morally simplistic terms. Others found the language bracing and inspirational.
But it was not, for the moment, a path toward a more positive relationship.
Then there was that unguarded moment in 1984 when Reagan was recording one of his Saturday radio addresses. Knowing the broadcast was not live, the president joked about having just signed into law legislation to "outlaw the Soviet Union forever." "We begin bombing in five minutes," he said. While not broadcast live, the joke was recorded and later leaked and widely heard.
Soviet officials protested at the time, but there were few serious consequences. That may have been because they were already consumed with the internal battles that would in fact soon bring the Soviet era to a close.
Back in the U.S., Reagan's idea of a joke left many unamused. Some saw it as an indication of Reagan's mental decline. But it did not slow Reagan's reelection momentum: He carried 49 states that fall. And within a few years, the last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, was effecting far-reaching reforms in his home country and redefining its role in the world. He even negotiated a nuclear disarmament treaty with Reagan.
By the end of his second term, Reagan could stand near the ultimate symbol of the Cold War in the city of Berlin and say "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." And soon thereafter, while George H.W. Bush was in office, the citizens of Berlin finally brought that wall crashing down.
An enemy, a rival or something else?
After the Cold War ended, the relationship with Russia entered a far more ambiguous phase. Was the post-Soviet Russia an enemy, or merely a rival? Was its new government a democracy, or had it become an autocracy by another name?
And should the U.S. maintain an attitude of implacable hostility to a country that was no longer devoted to its Communist ideology — or might there be another way to co-exist with the second largest nuclear arsenal on the planet?
Bill Clinton, fortunate in his timing in office, benefited from the Soviet collapse and the resulting "peace dividend" — a lessening of global tension and the burdens of the arms race.
Yet Clinton had his share of awkward moments dealing with Boris Yeltsin, the one Russian leader ever elected in truly free, multi-party elections. Yeltsin was a colorful but erratic figure who emerged in the sudden bloom of political and media freedom Russia experienced in the early 1990s.
He and Clinton hit it off and maintained a remarkable rapport well into the decade. But as a war in the Balkans intensified that year, the two found themselves on opposite sides. The NATO bombing of Serbia in that conflict inflamed an anti-Western swing in Russian popular opinion, and may have contributed to Yeltsin's choice of a successor. That choice, made to appeal to the rising nationalist sentiment, was Vladimir Putin.
A 'hot mic' moment
For more than 20 years now, the challenge of Russia has been the problem of Putin. He could position himself as a kind of ally in the years of the War on Terror, as American fears after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 had a parallel in Putin's animus toward Muslims in the breakaway province of Chechnya.
Putin stepped aside for his selected successor, Medvedev, in 2008, but the move was soon understood to be temporary. When Medvedev met with Obama in March 2012 at a conference part of their conversation was overheard on a "hot mic." Obama said he would "have more flexibility" after that year's U.S. election. Medvedev replied that he would "transmit this information to Vladimir."
Putin reclaimed the presidency just two months later and has since arranged to make himself de facto president for life. While often at odds with Obama, Putin was even more implacably opposed to the idea of Hillary Clinton as president — given her history of denouncing Russian policy in general and Putin in particular.
That led to some of Putin's allies in and outside the government staging a prolonged campaign of interference in the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. – a campaign documented in the 2019 report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the 2020 report of the U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence.
Neither Mueller nor the Senate committee charged Trump with direct involvement with the Russians in this regard, as he has long maintained in his denials of any "collusion" with Russia.
But if Biden has seemed unable to resist denouncing Putin, Trump at times seemed bent on courting him — and prompting ferocious pushback from opponents in Congress. Trump himself sometimes described Democrats' response to his first two years in office as "Russia, Russia, Russia."
Much of that stemmed from the Mueller probe, but the theme was still alive in Trump's first impeachment. That process, which dominated much of the year 2019 in Washington, stemmed from a phone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Trump urged the Ukrainians to investigate "the Bidens." (A reference to then-candidate Biden and his son Hunter.)
A salient feature of Trump's presidency was his penchant for praising Putin. The two had encountered each other in the world of business, as Trump located a beauty pageant in Moscow and negotiated for a Trump-branded hotel there. In the 2016 campaign year, Trump famously urged Russia to hack into U.S. computers and find Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's missing emails. Trump said he wasn't serious.
When U.S. intelligence reported that Russia had been interfering with the 2016 election (hacking Democratic campaign communications and flooding social media with phony messages), Trump said Putin denied it and he accepted the Russian's word on it. "I don't see why it would be Russia," he said, standing next to Putin at a news conference in Helsinki in 2018. "I can tell you President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."
And even now, in his post-presidency, Trump keeps the Russia connection in the news by asking Putin to "release" information he might have about a payment the wife of the mayor of Moscow allegedly made to Hunter Biden.

- ESG scoring has become part of the credit rating considerations
- Climate change is increasingly impacting the lending and risk management practices at global banks
- sustainability standards and practices are increasingly present in all our discussions with investors
- Launching Sustainable Financing Framework is a culmination of NBK’s progress in the ESG area
- “Weyay” is one of NBK’s key achievements in the environmental and social sides over the past period
- Today, our board of directors includes a female and 4 independent members; one of which holds extensive experience in sustainability
- The progress achieved on ESG practices helped improve our ratings and listings on several ESG indices
National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) strives to enhance its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices and related disclosure, with a focus on communicating with various stakeholders on the latest developments and achievements related to that topic. In this context, NBK organized a seminar with media representatives themed “Sustainability… A Roadmap for Implementing ESG Strategy,” in which Mr. Amir Hanna, Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications at National Bank of Kuwait lectured the attendees on the topic.
During the seminar, Hanna highlighted how the sustainability concept evolved over the years and stressed on the growing global emphasis on ESG practices.
“The term Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has recently became the focus of capital markets, and increasingly discussed across different sectors,” he explained.
Environmental and Social assets
Hanna proceeded to enumerate the reasons for the accelerating emphasis on ESG practices saying: “There are overlapping factors that have developed rapidly creating many challenges for the business sector at all levels. These factors mainly include reputational risk, the pressures exerted by activists and shareholders, the growing interest from capital markets participants, as well as regulatory requirements.”
He pointed out that capital markets are witnessing successive developments as to embedding ESG considerations into their decisions, in light of reviewing asset managers’ strategies, and credit rating agencies’ endeavors to include ESG scores in credit rating criteria.
As part of capital markets’ response to these developments, ESG assets under management witnessed continuous growth over recent years, as Bloomberg estimates that they are on track to exceed $53 trillion by 2025, representing more than a third of the $140.5 trillion in projected total AUMs.
Successive developments
Hanna indicated that: “There is an increasing support extended by shareholders in all institutions to the decisions and initiatives related to disclosure practices, the gender diversity of work team, and adherence with human rights principles and practices, noting that major companies are actively engaged in communication and interaction with environmental activists.”
He also highlighted that the world is witnessing significant developments in ESG-related regulatory requirements to the extent of requiring companies to disclose sustainability practices and commitments while adhering to unified reporting standards in this regard.
Hanna explained that the impact of climate change has become strongly present in the lending and risk management practices of financial institutions globally. In addition to existing risks, organizations are now exposed to climate change risks, where financed assets or other assets used as collateral, may be prone to physical risks including floods, hurricanes and forest fires or transition risks as countries’ policies and direction change to address the climate change topic.
NBK’s proactive approach
Hanna moved to NBK’s adoption of ESG practices saying: “Following our usual approach to act proactively, we, at NBK, started to set an organizational structure and lay the foundations back in 2016 for improving our reporting, in conjunction with our solid commitment in the CSR area. We released our first sustainability report in 2016, underscoring our endeavors to achieve more transparency and maximize the benefit for all stakeholders and aligning it with GRI reporting framework.”
“Our sustainability report covers the main trends, as well as a number of ESG-related disclosures, given our role as an active capital markets participant. NBK also launched many initiatives in this regard which helped achieve significant progress and contributed to improving the bank’s ESG ratings, and listing on several ESG indices,” he added.
Hanna continued: “Today, our board of directors includes a female and 4 independent members; one with extensive experience in the sustainability area, which makes us stand out as one of the leading institutions in adopting related governance and social standards.”
NBK has also started implementing automated systems to measure compliance with corporate governance standards and operational risk, as well as increasing ESG considerations for the different board committees, he indicated.
Unique example
Hanna mentioned that NBK has a market-leading position in ESG compliance. Key achievements in this regard include females representing almost 45% of the total work force, achieving a national labor ratio of 75%, and delivering 41,000 training hours to employees.
He pointed out that despite the financial sector’s low direct impact on the environment, NBK has presented a unique example, as environment-friendly institution through its new headquarters, which received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification, as well as the Bank’s setting of internal goals to reduce operational emissions by 25 % by 2025.
Moving to the digital side, Hanna pointed out: “Weyay bank, the first digital bank in Kuwait, is one of NBK’s milestones in the sustainability area, given its direct impact on promoting financial inclusion, in addition to the indirect environmental impact as one of the digital solutions that contribute to reducing emissions.”
Hanna said: “NBK appreciates the role of finance in addressing environmental challenges and driving the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy. In this context, NBK’s efforts in the ESG area were reinforced by recently launching its Sustainable Financing Framework. The Framework is aligned with the principles of the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) and the Lending Market Association (LMA), confirming that the “Use of Proceeds”, “Process for Project Evaluation and Selection”, “Management of Proceeds” and “Reporting” are all aligned with the applicable principles.”
It is worth mentioning that NBK was the first banking institution in Kuwait to issue a dedicated sustainability report highlighting the Bank’s social, economic and environmental initiatives and the implementation of corporate governance principles in accordance with the standards of Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The Bank’s efforts in this regard over the past years were recognized by inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index and the Refinitiv AFE Low Carbon Select Index in MENA, in which NBK ranked first among regionals banks and Kuwaiti companies in terms of the index’s weight.

Expo 2020 came to a close on Thursday, leaving behind innovations and technologies that will redefine the way we live.
As part of the mega event’s legacy, a $100 million (Dh367 million) grant will continue to support and fund social entrepreneurs with creative projects that are making a difference across the world.
Under Expo Live, a social innovation programme, 140 mission-oriented individuals from 76 countries received between $100,000 (Dh367,000) to $500,000 (Dh1.8 million) to expand their life-changing projects and maximise their outreach in vulnerable communities.
From nets turning fog into water in dry regions, a cooling backpack carrying vaccines to remote areas, and an app that connects the visually impaired to sighted volunteers, the social start-ups are providing innovative solutions to real-world problems.
“Before Expo 2020 started, we embarked on a search for purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are making the world a better place. The aim was to find them, fund them, and show them to the world,” said Yousuf Caires, Senior Vice-President at Expo Live.
Selected from 11,000 applications from 184 countries in a quest that started in June 2016, the winning entrepreneurs showcased their projects in a multi-sensory interactive experience inside ‘The Good Place’ pavilion at the world’s greatest show.
With Expo 2020 coming to an end, the programme, Caires noted, will create a community of innovators from all over the world who are working towards building a better future.
“As part of the legacy project, we will continue investing the $100 million to find more changemakers and grow their positive influence in the community.”
Besides using the convening power of Expo to inspire visitors with the impactful innovations, Caires said the grant aims to redefine the concept of entrepreneurship.
“Instead of generating large sums of money with a little corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the side, making money and doing good should go hand in hand,” noted Caires.
“We wanted to make sure Expo 2020 was full of innovations, but also of people who are creating a positive impact on society.”
Here are some innovators receiving support to carry on their mission of improving lives:
Be My Eyes
Hans Jorgen from Denmark developed ‘Be My Eyes’ app that connects the visually impaired with sighted volunteers to make everyday tasks easier.
Dubbed “Crowdsourcing eyes to those in need,” the app empowers the visually impaired to see through the eyes of sighted individuals and boost their independence on the long run.
Transporting vaccines to rural areas
Kitty Liao, founder of Ideabatic in the UK, developed a low-cost ‘SMILE’ carrier that has a cooler to keep vaccines and life-saving medicines alive during long journeys to remote rural areas. Here is a 3D simulation of a woman carrying a backpack:
“Around 85 per cent of vaccines are ruined by heat during transportation, often in the last mile,” said Liao. Through the smart cooling system, Liao aims to deliver vaccinations to 20 million children worldwide.
Smart communication platform for special needs
When their grandmother was unable to speak after late-stage Alzheimer’s, Carlos and Hector Costa from Argentina created Ottaa, an artificial intelligence communication platform, to help individuals with mental disabilities communicate through images.
The smart technology is empowering 50,000 people with Alzheimer’s, Down syndrome and autism in 11 countries to express themselves in real-time through pictures. In the photo below, a visitor is seen in front of the platform:
The brothers combined their professional skills in biomedical engineering and communications to develop the digital tool that builds vocabulary and forms sentences through images and verbalizes them aloud.
“The predictive algorithms understand the user’s preferences and agenda, and builds up images they may need to communicate at this moment, depending on the surrounding context,” said Carlos
“When you give people the ability to communicate, you are opening up the world for them,” said Carlos.
Harvesting water from fog
Over 100 families living in dry regions of the Morocco’s Anti-Atlas Mountains now have direct access to clean water, thanks to the technology-powered cloud nets that turns fog into water developed by Dr Jamila Bargach.
With the smart technology that harnesses nature, young local girls no longer have to trek long distances in search for clean water, and can invest their time instead in studying, developing their vocational skills and enhancing their community life.
Empowering women in Africa
Inspired by his mother’s experience, Martin Sanago from Tanzania is empowering women to monetise their families’ cow milk in a culture where the cattle are owned by men.
The Institute for Orkonerei Pastoralists Advancement is providing improved transport to dairy processing plants and teaching women to make yogurt and cheese to maximize their income and become financially independent.
Cultivating the desert
From Norway, Atle Idland, founder of Desert Control startup, established a new technology called ‘Liquid NanoClay’ (LNC) to boost agriculture in the desert. The agri-technology converts unusable soil into arable land using less water to grow plants in dry regions and increase food security among poor communities.

Maguire must silence the boo boys with better Man Utd performances
Ralf Rangnick has been pretty straight when it comes to answering journalists’ questions in press conferences during his four months at Manchester United.
But there was one question on Friday lunchtime, at the club’s Carrington training base, that the German manager did not have an explanation for.
He, along with many others, could not understand why Harry Maguire was booed while playing for England over the international break.
Editors' Picks
- England, Brazil and the winners and losers of the 2022 World Cup draw
- 'It's a brilliant time to be in my shoes' - Grealish ready for Man City's treble charge
- Takuma Asano: Ex-Arsenal wonderkid compared to Hazard now heading for Qatar with Japan
- Ukraine crisis: How to help people affected by Russia invasion
Three Lions' boss Gareth Southgate was strong in his condemnation of the fans' reaction and Maguire’s international team-mates have all come out to back the Man Utd captain.
“I can’t get my head around what has happened at Wembley tonight,” Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson wrote on Instagram.
“Harry Maguire has been a colossus for England. Without him, the progress made at the last two tournaments would not have been possible. To be booed at his home stadium, for no reason? What have we become?
"What happened tonight was just wrong. As someone who wants to win with England, I feel fortunate to share a dressing room with him. We all feel the same!”
The bemusement for most came because Maguire’s performances in an England shirt cannot really be faulted. He was named in the Euro 2020 team of the tournament and was a key figure in helping Southgate’s side reach the final.
He has played for England 14 times since October 2020, with 12 wins, no defeats, 10 clean sheets and has scored six goals. They have only conceded five goals in his last 19 appearances in an England shirt.
It was only nine months ago his name was being sung down Wembley Way as fans basked in the excitement of reaching the Euro final.
Yet here we were back at the same venue less than a year later and he was being booed.
We don’t know why some of those inside Wembley decided to boo him during the game against Ivory Coast on Tuesday night.
Presumably it is because he has been in poor form for United recently and the fans felt like he didn’t deserve his place in Southgate’s latest squad.
Based on performances this season United fans do indeed have reason to be aggrieved with the centre-back’s displays but not England fans.
The Old Trafford supporters are expected to show their support for the 29-year-old when they host Leicester at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.
“I speak regularly with him since I came here and he knows my position towards him, he's been a very valuable player and the captain of the team and the club,” Rangnick said on Friday.
“I didn't understand what was going on at Wembley but I’m pretty sure it won't happen in our stadium with the Red Army behind the team and the club and the captain.
"He's a very important player and he’s been playing well for Manchester United and England in the last couple of years.”
Club supporters are fiercely loyal to their players and Maguire will discover that when he leads the team out on Saturday afternoon. But their loyalty isn’t blind and, while they are expected to vocally back the defender, there is an acceptance that performances do need to improve.
The reverse fixture against Leicester was one of Maguire’s worst displays of the season. He was rushed back into the starting XI after injury and he looked slow, rusty and generally poor as he was jeered by the home supporters at the King Power Stadium.
His inclusion in that line-up also caused issues in the United dressing room and more questions were raised over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s management.
Rangnick does not have the same loyalty to Maguire as Solskjaer did. He is not afraid to drop him and has left him out of the team on three occasions since he arrived in December.
Maguire has discovered that he is not undroppable despite the captain’s armband and the club privately acknowledge that there is room for improvement in his displays of late.
For all the criticism thrown at the £80 million ($105m) man, a lot of which has been justified, there is the feeling that while his on-field displays can be critiqued his actions off it cannot.
Online cynics suggest he has undertaken certain tasks as ‘good PR’ after some poor performances but his recent behaviour is in keeping with what he has done since he joined.
He has always retained a keen interest in helping the younger players at the club and asked if he could speak to the under-18s ahead of their FA Youth Cup semi-final at Old Trafford before cheering them on from the stands last month.
More recently he has met with the families of some of the U18s players when they signed their first professional contract.
His help for Paul Woolston, the 23-year-old who was forced into early retirement due to injury, has also been commended. Maguire met with him for half an hour on the day he found out he had to hang up his boots to offer a range of opportunities that the goalkeeper is going to explore.
That was a classy touch and not something to detract away from his own displays. But no number of nice gestures will distract from poor performances on the pitch. The only way to silence the boo boys and those doubting his ability is to up his level on the pitch.

The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust says its membership “neither supports nor has confidence in” the Ricketts family’s bid to buy the Blues.
The influential CST conducted a snap survey of members, with 77 per cent of those polled claiming not to support the Ricketts’ bid to buy Chelsea.
The Chicago Cubs-owning Ricketts are among the final four bidders aiming to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
Cubs chiefs and siblings Tom and Laura Ricketts front the family’s candidacy to take over at the west London club.
Chelsea fans have organised a protest against the Ricketts’ candidacy to take place before Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brentford at Stamford Bridge.
Father Joe Ricketts, who has no role at the Cubs or in the bid to buy Chelsea, branded Muslims “my enemy” in leaked emails from 2019.
Chelsea fans have voiced concerns consistently on social media, and now the CST has added further weight to those worries.
“At present, it is clear that our membership neither supports nor has confidence in the Ricketts family’s bid for the club,” read a CST statement.
“This is reflective of wider concerns articulated by large, vocal sections of Chelsea’s supporter base.
“The CST Board is guided by our membership, and thus we do not currently believe it is in the best interests of our members for the Ricketts family’s bid to succeed.
“We await further public detail from the Ricketts family on concrete steps they will take to address the well-documented concerns of Chelsea supporters.
“Should the Ricketts publicly set out clear and detailed plans on how they will address support concerns, we may survey our members again in the next week.”
Tom Ricketts has built bridges with the Muslim community in Chicago ever since his father’s 2019 comments, and continues to apologise for his father’s comments.
The Ricketts have been adding advisory partners in fine-tuning their bid ahead of the April 11 deadline for improved offers, but their bid is understood to be funded entirely by cash.
Hedge fund supremo Ken Griffin has added his significant personal financial clout behind the Ricketts’ bid for Chelsea.
Blues supporters continue to raise fears over the Ricketts’ candidacy to buy the club, however, with those issues crystallised in the CST survey.
“Last week, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust stated that the Ricketts family must urgently and publicly address supporter concerns – especially with regard to inclusivity, given both past and recent statements by members of the family,” read the CST statement.
“We also committed to surveying our members as to their confidence and support in the Ricketts family’s bid for Chelsea FC.
“Yesterday we conducted a snap survey of our membership. We asked our membership whether, based on information in the public domain as of April 1, they had confidence that the Ricketts family would run an inclusive and successful club, and we asked whether they supported the Ricketts family’s bid.
“Our members have given a clear message in this regard: 72 per cent of those who responded do not currently have confidence that the Ricketts family would run an inclusive and successful club, with five per cent of respondents believing they would.
“Similarly, 77 per cent of members who responded do not support the Ricketts family’s bid for Chelsea FC and three per cent of respondents are in support.
“It is essential that the new owners of Chelsea FC have the confidence of the supporter base and demonstrate an understanding of the values that we stand for.”
Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale on March 2, amid Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine.
The 55-year-old was then sanctioned by the UK Government on March 10, with Downing Street claiming to have proven his links to Vladimir Putin.
Chelsea have been granted a special Government licence to continue operating, though under strict terms.
Abramovich cannot profit from Chelsea’s sale, but had already vowed to write off the club’s £1.5billion debt.
LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly and British business titan Jonathan Goldstein, Sir Martin Broughton and Lord Sebastian Coe, the Chicago Cubs-owning Ricketts family and Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca are the four remaining contenders.

An occupational therapist’s job is to help our clients be as independent as possible with the tasks of daily life. In a rural state like Vermont, that includes driving. Rutland Regional Medical Center is one of two hospitals in the state that offers a driving rehabilitation program that can help clients either return to driving, continue driving or make the difficult decision to stop driving.
A driving evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of a client’s fitness to drive. We conduct an interview, physical and cognitive assessments, and if appropriate, an on-road evaluation. At the end of the evaluation, we sit down and create an individualized plan that considers the needs of the client and the safety of other road users. Rutland Regional’s driver rehab program is a registered driving school run by therapists who are certified driving instructors. Our primary goal is to maximize our client’s independence by keeping them on the road if possible.
People of all ages may benefit from a driving evaluation if they have had an illness or injury that has affected their ability to drive. Our therapists are skilled in assessing and treating clients who have had a stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, as well as clients with a variety of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia, or neuropathy. Sometimes our clients may not have a specific diagnosis but they or their family members have noticed some red flag warning signs such as:
— Increased difficulty managing medications, bills, appointments.
— Worsening memory.
— Falls.
— A car crash, ticket or getting lost while driving.
If you or a loved one have had an illness or injury that impacted your fitness to drive or you are wondering whether you are still fit to drive, Rutland Regional Medical Center’s driver rehab program is here to help! We want to keep you on the road as long as possible while also keeping you and other road users safe. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions: 802-747-1840.
This week’s Health Talk was written by Erich Parent, an occupational therapist in Rehabilitation Services at Rutland Regional Medical Center.

Here are the latest coronavirus updates from around the world.
➡️ Shanghai struggles under lockdown
In Shanghai, authorities are struggling to meet requirements for a lockdown on many of the city’s 26 million residents — the largest such undertaking by China since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019. Shanghai is implementing a two-stage, eight-day lockdown, but many of those on the eastern, or Pudong, side of the city who should have been free to leave their compounds on Friday have remained in isolation. Authorities have meanwhile placed the other half of the city, Puxi, under isolation with non-essential businesses and public transport brought to a stop and roads cleared of cars and people. A total of 14 million Puxi residents were tested on Friday, according to state media.
➡️ Italy ends Covid-19 state of emergency, curbs to be lifted gradually
Italy on Friday began to phase out its Covid-19 restrictions, ending a state of emergency public authorities declared more than two years ago that allowed it to bypass bureaucracy and swiftly impose rules via decrees. The state of emergency was introduced on January 31, 2020, but Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government announced plans in March to return to normal after deciding not to extend it. It officially ended on Thursday.
➡️ South Korea likely to lift outdoor mask mandate, most Covid curbs this month
South Korea said on Friday it would further relax its social distancing rules next week and possibly scrap most pandemic-related curbs later this month, including an obligation to wear masks outdoors. From April 4, a curfew on eateries and other businesses will be pushed back to midnight from 11 pm, and private gatherings of up to 10 people will be allowed, Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol said.
➡️ Deliberate infection trial finds Covid symptoms don’t indicate viral shedding
The world’s first “human challenge” trial in which volunteers were deliberately exposed to the coronavirus has found that symptoms had no effect on how likely an infected person is to pass the disease on to others. The findings underscore the difficulty in preventing community infections as the Word Health Organisation (WHO) warns of a rise in cases.
➡️ Canada says hospitals could manage Covid impact as cases rise
Canada’s health care system could withstand the impact from an anticipated rise in hospitalizations due to Covid-19 in the coming weeks, health officials said Friday, as signs emerge of a resurgence in infections in the country. Canada is in a transition period and could still see “bumps along the way”, including a resurgence in cases this spring as well as later in the year, the officials said.
➡️ Vaccination after Covid improves immunity; ivermectin fails in major trial
The following is a summary of some recent studies on Covid-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review. Vaccination after Covid-19 improves immunity
➡️ England’s Covid-19 prevalence hits record high – ONS
The prevalence of Covid-19 among people in England rose to its highest since the pandemic began in 2020, data from Britain’s Office for National Statistics showed on Friday. One 1 in 13 people were believed to have the coronavirus in the week ending March 26, the fourth consecutive increase and higher than 1 in 16 recorded in the previous week. The ONS estimated 4.1 million people in England had Covid-19.
➡️ US FDA approves Gilead cell therapy for earlier lymphoma
The US Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved expanded use of Yescarta, a cell therapy made by Gilead Sciences Inc’s Kite unit, as a first option after chemotherapy for adults with an advanced, aggressive form of blood cancer. The one-time treatment was initially approved in 2017 for patients with large B-cell lymphoma who did not respond to at least two previous rounds of therapy.
➡️ China reports 2,129 new Covid cases for April 1 vs 1,827 a day earlier
Mainland China reported 2,129 new Covid-19 cases on April 1, up from 1,827 cases a day earlier, the country’s national health authority said on Saturday. The National Health Commission said in a statement 2,086 of the new cases were local infections, compared with 1,787 a day earlier.
➡️ Russia’s total number of Covid-related deaths hits nearly 778,000
Russia’s total number of Covid-related deaths have reached almost 778,000 since the start of the pandemic in April 2020, Reuters calculations based on new data from the Rosstat state statistics service showed on Friday. Rosstat said that 43,201 people had died from Covid or related causes in February, up from 35,807 in January.
➡️ With carrot and stick, China presses ahead with Covid vaccinations for elderly
In China’s southern Guangdong province, a teacher was told by her school that she must somehow find four unvaccinated individuals aged 60 or older and get them to take Covid shots to help boost the district’s elderly inoculation rate. Otherwise, her performance review would be affected.
➡️ Hong Kong health authorities report 116 new Covid-19 deaths
Hong Kong health authorities reported 116 new Covid-19 deaths on Saturday. Daily infections in recent days have continued a steady decline and authorities began easing some of the city’s stringent Covid-19 measures.

Scott Steiner's nephew came out victorious in a category that included Jade Cargill, Hook, Cora Jade, and Tony D'Angelo. The 24-year-old superstar was elated to have received the honor and wished to continue his ascend in WWE:
"It's cool, man. It's an honor, and I think it's pretty cool that the fans think highly of me in that regard. It's an honor for me, and it's pretty cool, and I hope I continue to win people over and people continue to watch me and enjoy what I'm doing," said Bron Breakker. [3:15 - 3:40]
Bron Breakker will face Dolph Ziggler at NXT Stand & Deliver
Bron Breakker's NXT Championship reign ended at the 63-day mark when he lost the title in a Triple Threat match featuring Tommaso Ciampa and Dolph Ziggler at NXT Roadblock.
Ziggler's surprise title win set the stage for WWE to build towards a rematch as Bron Breakker challenged the new champion on the March 15th episode of NXT.
As of this writing, Breakker is the odds-on favorite to win back the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver, which is scheduled to kick off at 1:00 PM ET on April 2nd at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

The countdown is on to Census night. In fact, it's almost over as it actually takes place tomorrow evening.
Yes on Sunday the 3rd of April, millions of people across Ireland are required to fill out the form, which is a count and account of everyone in the country on that night.
There are 11 household questions and 33 questions to be completed for up to six individual people who are present in the household on census night. Topics include age, marital status, gender, place of birth, occupation, and housing characteristics.
The Census happens every five years. It was supposed to take place last year but was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A Census Enumerator has already delivered forms to homes and they are due to return to collect it between April 4 and May 6. Everyone is legally obliged to complete or be included in the Census form.
The Statistics Act, 1993 is the basic legislation covering all surveys carried out by the Central Statistics Office, including the Census.
Section 25 of the Act enables the Taoiseach to make Orders requiring people to provide information under the Act, while Sections 26 and 27 of the Act provide for the Director-General of the CSO to require people to complete and return a form, following the making of such an Order by the Taoiseach.
A major warning has been blatantly written on the front of the Census 2022 form, alerting people that they could be fined up to €44,440 in certain circumstances.
The 'Legal obligation to participate' section, reads: “This is a Notice under Section 26 of the Statistics Act 1993. The Census is being taken under the Statistics Act 1993 and the Statistics (Census of Population) Order 2020.
“Under Sections 26 and 27 of the Statistics Act 1993, you are obliged by law to complete and return this form.
“Only the Time Capsule section of this form is voluntary, under Section 24 of the Statistics Act 1993. This means that you are not obliged to complete that section.
“Any person who fails or refuses to provide this information or who knowingly provides false information may be subject to a fine of up to €44,440.”
Below are the mistakes to avoid if you don't want to end up with a hefty fine.
- Fail to provide information requested in a statutory inquiry (Section 36)
- Prevent an Officer of Statistics (i.e. a CSO staff member or field officer) carrying out her/his duties (Section 37)
- Obstruct the Director General or an Officer of Statistics in the exercise of her/his functions under the Act (Section 40)
- Wilfully destroy, damage or falsify any document or record issued for the collection of statistics for a statutory inquiry (Section 42)
- Provide information, written or oral, or deliver a document, knowing it to be false, in purported compliance with a requirement under the Act (Section 43)
Anyone found guilty of an offence under the Act is liable on summary conviction to a fine up to €2,500, or on conviction on indictment to a fine up to €44,440.

NEW DELHI (AP) — Nepal’s prime minister met his Indian counterpart on Saturday during a three-day trip to New Delhi and signed a slew of agreements to enhance their ties, as the Himalayan nation also deepens relations with India’s rival China.
Sher Bahadur Deuba met Narendra Modi in his first foreign trip since becoming Nepal’s prime minister last year after the fall of a Communist government in Kathmandu.
The leaders discussed the bilateral relations and later virtually waved flags at the inaugural run of passenger train services between the neighbors. They said at a joint news briefing they planned to deepen their cross-border engagement.
The visit comes amid growing concerns among India’s strategic experts that New Delhi is losing influence over the Himalayan country to rival China, which has been showering Nepal with investments in infrastructure development and helping with millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic.
It is tradition for Nepalese prime ministers soon after taking over office to visit the southern neighbor India, which has always had major political and economic influence over Nepal.
The visit is seen as an opportunity for Deuba to renew relations with Indian leaders and also for Indian leadership to try regain their clout.
Deuba’s trip comes on the heels of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Kathmandu and approval by Nepal of a contentious half-billion-dollar aid grant from the United States, apparently to counter Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Nepal is surrounded on three sides by India with open borders allowing traffic into each other’s territories without passports or visas. Landlocked Nepal imports most of its food, supplies and oil from India.

PARIS (AP) — As French President Emmanuel Macron prepares to hold his first big rally Saturday in his race for re-election, his campaign has hit a roadbump.
It’s been dubbed “the McKinsey Affair,” named after an American consulting company hired to advise the French government on its COVID-19 vaccination campaign and other policy. A new French Senate report questions the government's use of private consultants, and accuses McKinsey of tax dodging. The issue is mobilizing Macron’s rivals and dogging him at campaign stops ahead of the April 10 first-round vote.
His supporters hope he can rev up his campaign and drown out his detractors at Saturday’s rally in a huge arena west of Paris. Macron, a centrist who has been in the forefront of diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine, has a comfortable lead in polls so far over far-right leader Marine Le Pen and other challengers.
But the word “McKinsey” is becoming a rallying cry for those trying to unseat him. Critics describe the government’s 1 billion euros in spending on consulting firms like McKinsey last year as a sort of privatization and Americanization of French politics, and are demanding more transparency.
The French Senate, where opposition conservatives hold a majority, published a report last month investigating the government’s use of private consulting firms. The report found that state spending on such contracts has doubled in the past three years despite mixed results, and warned they could pose conflicts of interest. Dozens of private companies are involved in the consulting activities, including giants like Ireland-based multinational Accenture and French group Capgemini.
Most damningly, the report says McKinsey hasn’t paid corporate profit taxes in France since at least 2011, but instead used a system of “tax optimization” through its Delaware-based parent company.
McKinsey issued a statement saying it “respects French tax rules that apply to it" and defending its work in France, but didn’t elaborate.
McKinsey notably advised the French government on its COVID vaccination campaign, which got off to a halting start but eventually became among the world’s most comprehensive. Outside consultants have also advised Macron’s government on housing reform, asylum policy and other measures.
The Senate report found that such firms earn smaller revenues in France than in Britain or Germany, and noted that spending on outside consultants was higher under conservative former President Nicolas Sarkozy than under Macron.
Budget Minister Olivier Dussopt said the state money spent on McKinsey was about 0.3% of what the government spent on public servants’ salaries last year, and that McKinsey earned only a tiny fraction of it. He accused campaign rivals of inflating the affair to boost their own ratings.
“We have nothing to hide,” said Amelie Montchalin, the government’s minister for public service.
The affair is hurting Macron nonetheless.
A former investment banker once accused of being “president of the rich,” Macron saw his ratings resurge when his government spent massively to protect workers and businesses early in the pandemic, vowing to do “whatever it takes” to cushion the blow. But his rivals say the McKinsey affair rekindles concerns that Macron and his government are beholden to private interests and out of touch with the concerns of ordinary voters.
Everywhere Macron goes now, he’s asked about it.
“The campaign should be about purchasing power, how to settle security problems, how to end the war (in Ukraine),” he told voters Thursday. “Don’t make it about a false issue.”
On a talk show last Sunday, he said defensively, “If there is proof of manipulation, let them take it to court.”
A woman who lost her father to COVID-19 filed a lawsuit Friday accusing McKinsey and other consulting companies of misusing public money when they were hired to advise the government on mask and vaccine supplies. Julie Grasset now runs a support group for people who lost loved ones in the pandemic.
“It’s a serious issue. We are talking about public health,” Grasset told The Associated Press.
The financial prosecutor’s office did not comment. It could take weeks for prosecutors to decide whether to take up the case, one of several Grasset and others have filed involving the government’s handling of the pandemic.

I almost can’t believe that I’m about to say what I’m about to say, but I believe it to be true.
If you’re looking for guidance on how to live an interesting and moral life, you will find great inspiration in the lives of comedians.
This thought came to me after recently finishing Bob Odenkirk’s memoir, “Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama.” While Odenkirk today is most known for his role as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman in “Better Call Saul” (premiering its final season April 18), the bulk of the book, as the title indicates, is about his years pursuing his passion for making comedy.
What struck me is that, despite myriad setbacks along the way, Odenkirk has had an interesting and fulfilling professional life, combined with the pleasure of having a loving and supportive group of family and friends, while even promoting some good along the way.
Odenkirk’s story was reminiscent of the animating spirit of another recently released book, “All About Me!: My Remarkable Life in Show Business” which covers Mel Brooks’ 70-year romp through the comedy landscape. Looking at my shelves, I saw echoes in a bunch of other books: Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” (2011), Amy Poehler’s “Yes Please” (2014), Steve Martin’s “Born Standing Up” (2007) and Marc Maron’s compilation of interviews, “Waiting for the Punch: Words to Live by from the WTF Podcast” (2017).
How can people who get famous for putting an arrow through their head (Martin) or staging an epic scene of flatulent cowboys around a campfire (Brooks) possibly be exemplars for living a happy and productive life?
My theory:
Start small, with whoever will have you.
Mel Brooks’ first performing work was in the military at the end of WWII, while entertaining the troops. Odenkirk wrote sketches for his Southern Illinois University campus radio station. Martin’s first time performing was part of a gig selling souvenirs at Knott’s Berry Farm theme park. To describe the beginnings as humble is an understatement.
Surround yourself with the like-minded.
Another consistent theme is the benefit of working with a community of others trying to achieve the same ends. For Brooks, it was on “Your Show of Shows” where he first met Carl Reiner. For Odenkirk and Fey, it was Second City in Chicago. For Poehler, Chicago’s iO Theater. Being among people you think are talented helps with believing you might be talented too. Laughing all day while you’re at work also helps.
Keep working with those talented people.
Steve Martin and Martin Short. Fey and Poehler, Odenkirk and David Cross, and Brooks and Reiner are all comedy soul mates. Brooks and Reiner had dinner together almost nightly up to Reiner’s death. How great is it to produce great work with your closest friends?
Say yes, and …
The core of improv on stage is saying “yes, and” to keep building on another’s suggestion, which must create a high tolerance for risk and new challenges. Brooks went from comedy to producing serious films like “The Elephant Man.” Fey tried her hand in at writing a Broadway musical version of “Mean Girls.” Odenkirk is now an action star after his butt-kicking turn in “Nobody.”
Failure only makes you stronger.
Fey, who would go on to perhaps the most impactful impression in the history of “Saturday Night Live” as Sarah Palin, was initially rejected as a performer on the show. Martin would do club shows for zero laughter. Brooks, even once established, as a writer/director/producer thought it was a good idea to put Jami Gertz and Jason Patric on roller skates in all-time turkey, “Solarbabies.”
If you can survive “Solarbabies.” You can survive anything.

Book recommendations from the Biblioracle
John Warner tells you what to read based on the last five books you’ve read
1. “The Last Confessions of Sylvia P.” by Lee Kravetz
2. “Lost & Found: A Memoir” by Kathryn Schulz
3. “H is for Hawk” by Helen Macdonald
4. “Play It as It Lays” by Joan Didion
5. “Slow Days, Fast Company” by Eve Babitz
— Stephanie K., Lake Forest
I’m looking for a book that combines the intersection of the exploration of a subject, with the personal, human experience of the author. There’s a risk that Stephanie will have read this, but “Lab Girl” by Hope Jahren feels like the perfect fit.
1. “Bewilderment” by Richard Powers
2. “Three Girls from Bronzeville: A Uniquely American Memoir of Race, Fate, and Sisterhood” by Dawn Turner Trice
3. “Klara and the Sun” by Kazuo Ishiguro
4. “The Sympathizer” by Viet Thanh Nguyen
5. “Harlem Shuffle” by Colson Whitehead
— Denise T., Chicago
I recently unearthed a bag of books I’d taken from an office at school that I’d packed up and stuffed in a closet, which cut me off from the visual reminders of a bunch of titles that are truly special reads. One of those is Toni Cade Bambara’s challenging, but highly rewarding, “The Salt Eaters.”
1. “Einstein’s Dreams” by Alan Lightman
2. “Slaughterhouse-Five” by Kurt Vonnegut
3. “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
4. “The Risk Pool” by Richard Russo
5. “Portnoy’s Complaint” by Philip Roth
— Nick T., Urbana
Nick tells me every single one of these books is a reread, so I’m going to try hard to give him something new, another favorite from that school office pile, “Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer 1943-1954 by Jeffrey Cartwright” by Steven Millhauser.

TOP WRAP 5-Red Cross plans fresh evacuation effort from Ukraine's Mariupol
A Red Cross convoy will try again to evacuate civilians from the besieged port of Mariupol on Saturday as Russian forces looked to be regrouping for new attacks in southeast Ukraine.
A Red Cross convoy will try again to evacuate civilians from the besieged port of Mariupol on Saturday as Russian forces looked to be regrouping for new attacks in southeast Ukraine. Encircled since the early days of Russia's five-week old invasion, Mariupol has been Moscow's main target in Ukraine's southeastern region of Donbas. Tens of thousands are trapped there with scant access to food and water.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) sent a team on Friday to lead a convoy of about 54 Ukrainian buses and other private vehicles out of the city, but they turned back, saying conditions made it impossible to proceed. "They will try again on Saturday to facilitate the safe passage of civilians," the ICRC said in a statement on Friday. A previous Red Cross evacuation attempt in early March failed.
An advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he was hopeful about the Mariupol evacuations. "I think that today or maybe tomorrow we will hear good news regarding the evacuation of the inhabitants of Mariupol," Oleksiy Arestovych told Ukrainian television.
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to humanitarian corridors during the war to facilitate the evacuation of civilians from cities, but have often traded blame when the corridors have not been successful. Seven such corridors were planned for Saturday, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said, including one for people evacuating by private transport from Mariupol and by buses for Mariupol residents out of the city of Berdyansk.
After failing to take a major Ukrainian city since it launched the invasion on Feb. 24, Russia says it has shifted its focus to the southeast, where it has backed separatists since 2014. In an early morning video address, Zelenskiy said Russian troops had moved toward Donbas and the heavily bombarded northeastern city of Kharkiv.
"I hope there may still be solutions for the situation in Mariupol," Zelenskiy said. CIVILIANS IN HOSPITAL
In Chuhuiv, a city in Kharkiv province, two young women sat on neighbouring hospital beds, limbs bandaged and pinned in metal braces, survivors of an attack on a bus that they said was carrying around 20 civilians. Speaking to Reuters Television on Friday, Alina Shegurets remembered her own screams, and pointed to her wounded legs and hip.
"Windows started to shake. Then I saw something that looked like holes. Then bullets started to fly above. Powder, smoke... I was screaming and my mouth was full of it," Shegurets said. The other woman, who identified herself only as Yulia, said eight people died in the attack.
The war has killed thousands, uprooted a quarter of Ukraine's population and devastated cities such as Mariupol. Russia denies targeting civilians in what President Vladimir Putin calls a "special military operation" aimed at demilitarising and "denazifying" Ukraine.
Ukraine calls it an unprovoked war of aggression and Western countries have imposed sweeping sanctions in an effort to squeeze Russia's economy. British military intelligence said on Saturday that Ukrainian forces continued to advance against withdrawing Russian forces near Kyiv, and that Russian troops had abandoned Hostomel airport in a northwest suburb of the capital, where there has been fighting since the first day.
The British daily assessment also said Ukrainian forces had secured a key route in eastern Kharkiv after heavy fighting. Russia has depicted its drawdown of forces near Kyiv as a goodwill gesture in peace negotiations. Ukraine and its allies say Russian forces have been forced to regroup after suffering heavy losses.
MISSILE STRIKES In the early hours on Saturday, Russian missiles hit two cities - Poltava and Kremenchuk in central Ukraine, Dmitry Lunin, head of the Poltava region, wrote in an online post.
He said infrastructure and residential buildings were hit in the region east of Kyiv, but he had no casualty estimates. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. In the Dnipro region in southwestern Ukraine, missiles hit an infrastructure facility, wounding two people and causing significant damage, Valentyn Reznichenko, head of the region, said in an online post.
Russia's defence ministry said high-precision air-launched missiles had disabled military airfields in Poltava and Dnipro. Before dawn on Saturday, as sirens sounded across Ukraine, the Ukrainian military reported Russian air strikes on the cities of Sievierodonetsk and Rubizhne in Luhansk.
In that eastern region and neighbouring Donetsk, pro-Russian separatists declared breakaway republics that Moscow recognised just before its invasion. The Ukrainian military also said defenders repulsed multiple attacks in Luhansk and Donetsk on Friday and that Russian units in Luhansk had lost 800 troops in the past week alone. Reuters was unable to verify those claims.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe spent an entire season relentlessly chasing and pulling down seemingly every rebound that came his way — and plenty that didn’t, too.
“I want to be the greatest rebounder I can be,” Tshiebwe said.
The 6-foot-9, 255-pound junior put up better rebounding numbers than anybody in Division I in decades. And it’s a big reason why he is The Associated Press men’s college basketball national player of the year.
Tshiebwe was the clear choice for the award announced Friday, receiving 46 of 60 votes from AP Top 25 voters. Johnny Davis, a 6-5 sophomore who averaged 19.7 points and led Wisconsin to a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, was second with 10 votes. Iowa sophomore Keegan Murray (three) and Illinois big man Kofi Cockburn (one) also earned votes.
Tshiebwe, a West Virginia transfer and native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,is only the second player in the history of the storied history of the Wildcats program to win the AP’s top honor. The other was one-and-done star Anthony Davis, who led Kentucky to its eighth NCAA title a decade ago before becoming the No. 1 NBA draft pick.
“It is amazing to be join somebody like Anthony Davis,” Tshiebwe said. “And that gives me confidence and gives me more help for my future, too, for what I’m trying to do and what I’m trying to accomplish. I’m just putting God first because God knows what I need, and he has great plans for me.”
Tshiebwe thrived all seasonwhile averaging 15.1 rebounds, the highest per-game output in Division I since 1980. He had five games of at least 20 rebounds this season and three games with at least 10 boards on the offensive glass alone.
The highlight came when he hada Division I high of 28 rebounds in a December win against Western Kentucky.
He also worked to expand his offensive game, adding range on a developing jumpshot to go with his relentless board work. Tshiebwe averaged 17.4 points and shot 60.6% from the floor, a big step forward from his freshman season when he averaged 11.2 points and 9.3 rebounds with the Mountaineers before transferring after 10 games.
Tshiebwe said the rebounding success is a product of studying his opponents closely, playing the odds on where the ball is headed and the determination not to “let anybody move you.”
“First of all, it’s the position,” he said. “You have to place yourself where you don’t need to work too hard for the basketball just to come in your hands. You’ve got to read it. … If somebody’s shooting this angle, probably 75% it’s going that way because the ball’s coming in this way, 25% it’s coming this way. You have to know that.”
Rick Mancino watched Tshiebwe learning those rebounding lessons as his high school coach at Kennedy Catholic in Pennsylvania. First it was Mancino telling Tshiebwe to embrace his “knack for the ball,” only to have to walk it back a touch so that Tshiebwe didn’t get in foul trouble chasing literally every loose ball.
“I just think he realized how big rebounding is in the game, where with a lot of kids, it’s not a glamorous job,” Mancino said. “He loves it because I think he knows he’s good at it. I think the extra incentive is he realizes people love it, and they appreciate it, and his teammates appreciate it.”
Tshiebwe said he shed about 10 pounds to get a little faster and studied to make sure he knew the plays to be ready for an immediate impact this season for the Wildcats,who were coming off a nine-win season that stood as the program’s worst in nearly a century. The Wildcats regrouped by winning 26 games and earning a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament before falling in an upset to Saint Peter’s in the opening round.
Now Tshiebwe — who had 30 points and 16 rebounds in the final loss— is mulling whether to return to Kentucky or jump for his goal of playing in the NBA. If he returns, at least the Wildcats will know they’re set on the glass.
“I knew I was going to help this team because my dad always used to tell me if you don’t have a vision about what you’re trying to do as this year is coming, then you’re in the wrong business,” he said.
“You’ve got to know a year from today, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to accomplish? You’ve got to write (it) down, you’ve got to have a good vision. You’ve got to know what I’m here for.”

ASK IRA: Could Heat, Erik Spoelstra roll with 10 in playoff rotation?
Q: We have 10 players who have contributed greatly all season long. So, who is the odd man out in a nine-player rotation? As we know, Erik Spoelstra likes to tinker (due, I think, to his years as the Heat video coordinator). If he stays with the players who got the team into a top team, then he will tinker among those 10, and I would not be surprised to see Duncan Robinson as occasionally the odd man out. What I am suggesting is sometimes the Heat can go 10 deep and the sky will not fall. — Roland, Borrego Springs, Calif.
A: And Erik Spoelstra well could go 10 deep (or deeper), but that more likely would be the result of foul trouble or an injury. As important as maximizing depth can be, so is allowing your leading men to get into a rhythm. And you can’t get into a rhythm if the stints are shortened or you’re constantly looking over to see if you are about to get subbed out. Beyond that, there are ample rest days during the playoffs, so it’s not as if you are saving your players. For now, I’m not sure you can make any assessment of where the rotation is headed until we see what Spoelstra does with a healthy Caleb Martin. Yes, Duncan Robinson could be an odd man out. But it also could possibly be Gabe Vincent. Or Caleb. In those three cases, it very well could become situational.
Q: Omer Yurtseven was tearing it up on the boards and around the hoop while Bam Adebayo was recovering. As you know, his numbers were exceptional. Now, nada, not even scrub time often enough. What’s on Erik Spoelstra’s mind? — Gene, Coral Gables.
A: That he is getting his playoff-ready players to be playoff ready. For all that Omer Yurtseven has accomplished, and there has been plenty, his defense is nominally NBA level, if that, let alone not anywhere close to playoff level. With the Heat featuring shaky perimeter defenders such as Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, it is particularly important that the back line can compensate, as is the case with Bam Adebayo, P.J. Tucker and Dewayne Dedmon. Omer’s time eventually will come, and should come, just likely not in the playoff race or in the playoffs. And Dewayne certainly had his moments in Boston before fouling out.
Q: Tim Hardaway was a monster during his playing days. Only thing missing was the championship. Other than that, he was one of the best during his Warriors/Heat playing days. Feared no one. Happy for Timmy. — Douglas.
A: Agreed, and Hall of Fame worthy, albeit belated. If not for Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning, who knows when/if the Heat would have gotten on this path to enduring success.

Mike Preston: Stability is the key to making consistent championship runs, and the Ravens have it | COMMENTARY
Soon after Steve Bisciotti assumed full ownership of the Ravens in 2004, he declared that he wanted his team to be a stable, consistent franchise like the Pittsburgh Steelers that competed for a championship every year.
The Ravens have achieved that goal, and Bisciotti ensured several more years of stability this week when he announced John Harbaugh had agreed to a contract extension that will keep him as the head coach until 2025.
Bisciotti also expressed optimism about quarterback Lamar Jackson’s future, new team president Sashi Brown, an improved training and conditioning program and, maybe most importantly, his desire to maintain ownership into the foreseeable future.
There will be some critics, and rightfully so, who will point to Harbaugh’s poor clock management, last season’s slew of injuries and Jackson’s lone playoff win in four seasons. But those are only small pieces of the big picture.
Few organizations have been better than the Ravens, who have won two Super Bowl titles since moving to Baltimore in 1996.
The Ravens have also reached the playoffs in nine of the past 14 years under Harbaugh and advanced to the AFC championship game in 2008, 2011 and 2012. That puts them right up there with other top organizations in the league, such as the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks.
It could be so much worse. The Ravens could be the Cleveland Browns, who have had 12 head coaches, eight general managers and three owners since returning to the NFL in 1999.
The rumors have been rampant about Bisciotti selling this team for almost three years now. Every time there are additions to M&T Bank Stadium, there is an assumption that Bisciotti is preparing to sell.
He dismissed that speculation this week during an interview with local reporters, and at one point said he would sell the team before making threats about relocating. That should calm Baltimore fans who experienced the Colts’ move to Indianapolis nearly 40 years ago.
The doubts about Brown, 45, are understandable, especially since he is replacing long-time president Dick Cass. Brown was the lead counsel for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2005 to 2012 before becoming executive vice president and later general manager for the Browns from 2013 to 2017.
Those are two of the NFL’s worst-run franchises. But the saving grace is that Brown was basically hired by Cass, who is well respected throughout the NFL. According to former Ravens general manger Ozzie Newsome, now an executive vice president, Cass did 95% of the work in hiring Brown before presenting him to Bisciotti for final approval.
As for Harbaugh, his extension was expected. His overaggressive philosophy in crunch time cost the Ravens a playoff berth last season, and his clock management isn’t so great either, but the bottom line is he wins games. Harbaugh has a 137-88 career record — a .608 winning percentage — in 14 seasons in Baltimore and nine playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl win in 2012. His only two losing seasons came in 2015 (5-11) and 2021 (8-9), and both featured injuries to his starting quarterback.
Harbaugh has evolved from being the virtual cheerleading college coach (remember the 53 mighty men jackets?) to one who can actually accept high-maintenance players like cornerback Marcus Peters.
It’s too early to evaluate general manager Eric DeCosta. He needs to be treated like a draft pick and get a three- or four-year window to develop before a sound judgment can be made.
So far, DeCosta’s three drafts have been solid, but lacking game-changing players. His four first-round selections have been with the No. 25, No. 28, No. 27 and No. 31 overall picks, which have netted the Ravens receivers Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman and linebackers Patrick Queen and Odafe Oweh.
Some will say that elite players must be taken in the top 10 overall, but the Ravens selected linebacker Ray Lewis at No. 26, tight end Todd Heap at No. 31, safety Ed Reed at No. 24 and Jackson at No. 32.
That’s why DeCosta deserves more time, and maybe that will help some of his offseason free-agent acquisitions improve as well.
As far as Jackson, I’ve been saying for nearly a year now that there is no rush to sign him. The Ravens picked up his fifth-year option for $23 million this season and can place the franchise tag on him for two more years afterward.
If he improves and gets the Ravens deep into the postseason, then show him the money. If not, show him the door. The idea of having a running quarterback is nothing new, but since the Ravens have already built their offense around him they might as well see the project to completion. And they can do it without paying the going rate of about $40 million per season.
To me, it’s all part of the franchise’s stability and consistency without pushing too far against the salary cap.
The only major difference for the Ravens is really addressing offseason injuries, which Harbaugh said they have done. Besides the team hiring a new trainer in Adrian Dixon, Harbaugh is making some adjustments to his coaching game plan.
It’s all part of him evolving as a coach.
“The only benefit of it is it forces you to tear things down to the base and kind of rebuild them,” Bisciotti said of last season’s injuries. “I think it was a good exercise to have to torn down and looked at. John’s looking at the way he practices and the way he ramps up training camp. He was doing the same thing that he was doing for years and years without us leading the league in injuries. It doesn’t mean that we can’t do this better and this better and this better.
“If we change everything that we think we need to change this year and it happens again, then everyone is going to go, ‘They have the worst luck in the world.’ And if we don’t [have injuries] again, then people are going to say, ‘Well it wasn’t all bad luck. They changed a lot of their practices to get to this point.’ We’ll take that, too. I believe we’re a better organization because we were forced to address it.”
This is one time where change is good, but again you have to look at the overall picture. If the Ravens get healthy again with players like Peters, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards and left tackle Ronnie Stanley returning, the foundation is in place.
Then it’s only a matter of getting some help in the draft or through free agency. That’s the way good, stable organizations work.
The Ravens are one of them.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A flurry of summits this week across Dubai addressed the threat of climate change, or at least acknowledged that a pivot away from fossil fuels toward cleaner sources of power is needed to keep temperatures from rising.
The glaring fault lines, however, lie on when and how to achieve this. For fossil fuel producers, like the United Arab Emirates, which hosted the gatherings, more investments, not less, are needed in oil and gas.
“We definitely at this time need to include all available resources,” UAE Minister of Energy, Suhail al-Mazrouei, said at an energy forum in Dubai.
“We cannot ignore or say we are going to abandon certain production. It’s just not the right time, whatever reason you have,” he said, adding that doing so would make prices too high for millions around the world.
It was a drumbeat echoed throughout the week in Dubai, reflecting the prominent voice fossil fuel producers are seeking to have in the global climate change conversation. It rang out at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum, the World Government Summit and a UAE-sponsored climate week in partnership with the United Nations.
OPEC Secretary-General Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo said that in the upcoming U.N. climate talks, known as COP27, in Egypt and next year’s COP28 in the UAE, producers can address issues around “inclusiveness to ensure no sector is left behind, to address the issue of investment in the industry and to reassess the conversation.”
He said limiting global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) and the role of oil and gas “are not mutually exclusive.” That amount of warming compared to pre-industrial times is a benchmark and scientists say warming beyond it will expose people worldwide to far more extremes.
To drive home the argument, proponents of more fossil fuel investments pointed repeatedly to current high oil and gas prices as reminders of the global demand for oil. There was near derision at times thatcountries like the United States, the U.K. and others are calling for fossil fuel use to ramp down in the long term but also pleading for more oilto bring down prices for consumers.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other international bodies have said that to address climate change there should not be new investments in fossil fuel infrastructure and that the fuels, which are mostly responsible for climate change, must phase out over time.
That was reiterated in a 350-page report this week by The International Renewable Energy Agency that said the world must take “radical action” by investing $5.7 trillion each year through 2030 to shift away from fossil fuels. IRENA, which happens to be headquartered in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi, said investments of $700 billion should be diverted away from the fossil fuel sector each year.
“The energy transition is far from being on track and anything short of radical action in the coming years will diminish, even eliminate, chances to meet our climate goals,” said Francesco La Camera, the director-general of IRENA, when the report came out.
OPEC, weighted by Saudi Arabia, projects that more oil will be needed through 2040 and beyond, particularly in Asia.
Brent crude stands at $105 a barrel, the highest in eight years. The prices are not only good for the oil-driven economies of Saudi Arabiaand the UAE, but also Russia, helping Moscow offsetsome of the pain from U.S.-led sanctions related to the war in Ukraine.
“Look at what is happening today. Who’s talking about climate change now? Who’s talking about attending to energy security, first and foremost?,” Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said in suggestive but careful remarks at the World Government Summit in Dubai.
Without energy security, countries will lose the means to tackle climate change, he said.
Recent data show that despite rapid growth in renewable energy, total emissions of the gases that allow the Earth to warm are going up, not down, amid rising energy demand and the expansion of fossil fuel use.
The International Monetary Fund’s Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva encouraged advanced economies to meet the goal of providing $100 billion a year in climate finance to developing countries. She made the remarks this week at Dubai’s World Government Summit, where she unveiled an IMF paper titled “Feeling the Heat,” about adapting to climate change in the Middle East.
The argument made repeatedly by Sultan al-Jaber, who is both the UAE’s Special Envoy for Climate Change and Managing Director of Abu Dhabi’s state-owned oil company, is that the energy transition will take time. And in that period of time, he says, the world will need more oil and gas.
“Put simply, we cannot and we must not unplug the current energy system before we have built the new one,” he said at the energy forum.
At the U.N.-backed climate week event, which took place at the opulent Altantis hotel,he said the push to divest from hydrocarbons has led to a supply crunch.
In his dual roles as climate change envoy and head of ADNOC, the state-owned oil and gas firm, al-Jaber symbolizes the two paths the UAE is taking. On one hand, the country has committed to net-zero emissions within its own borders by 2050. On the other, it is committing to more oil and gas production for export. The country’s commitments do not apply to the emissions from burning that fuel.
Al-Jaber summed up this dual track, saying the UAE is expanding production capacity of what he dubbed “the world’s least carbon-intensive oil to over 5 million barrels per day” and its natural gas capacity by 30%. Simultaneously, the UAE has plans to invest $160 billion in renewable energy to achieve its net-zero pledge.
Saudi Arabia, which pledged to have net-zero emissions by 2060, is similarly cutting emissions domestically while vowing to keep pumping oil until the last drop. The production capacity increases come asGulf Arab countries experiencerising temperatures and humidity, as well as water scarcity, threatening food security and life across the Middle East.
At the U.N. climate week event, environmentally conscious participants sipped on coffee and tea and feasted on buffet lunches in between panels and workshops on everything from food sustainability to water scarcity to carbon-credit swaps.
It left Yara Wael, 23, from Alexandria, Egypt, excited for her country’s turn at hosting this year’s major global climate summit, but she was also left baffled. She works with Egypt’s Banlastic, which aims to end single-use plastic, and this was her first trip outside Egypt.
She pointed out how the paper cups for coffee and tea could have been biodegradable or reusable, and questioned where all the leftover food from the buffet was going.
“When we hold an event on the environment or climate change, we have to think about ourselves and what we’re doing now,” she said.

Susan Bartels Reid Bridgers
August 15, 1955 – March 23, 2022
Susan Bartels Reid Bridgers, 66, loving wife of Joseph Britt Bridgers, died on March 23, 2022, after a courageous four-year battle with cancer.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, on Aug. 15, 1955, Susan was a daughter of Ms. Doris Lang Lubker of Greenville and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lee Bartels of Smyrna, Georgia. As a teenager, Susan moved to Greenville, South Carolina, with her family. She graduated from JL Mann High School and the University of South Carolina. Susan was well-known for raising five sons and being a mother figure to many others. Her dinner table was always packed. With their many friends, her sons spent time at most every house in Greenville, making Susan uniquely familiar with the local housing market. It was only fitting that Susan later became a successful real estate agent with CB Caine.
Susan was a generous friend and constantly gave back to her church and community. She was a member of countless organizations throughout her lifetime, including serving as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees at her church and being a leader with the Greenville High School Booster Club. In the last several years, Susan served on the Advisory Board of Clement's Kindness, an organization very near and dear to her heart. Susan was an active member of Buncombe Street United Methodist Church for many years. In recent years, her faith in Christ grew even stronger and she loved attending St. Paul's Anglican Church with her husband and BSUMC's Trinity Campus with her mother.
Susan had an unmatched energy for life and was never content to sit still, even up until her final days. From sunrise walks with friends to open houses, Susan's days were also spent caring for her mother and spending quality time with her grandchildren, who lovingly called her Susu.
Susan was preceded in death by her first husband, Mr. Thomas Preston Reid. Surviving in addition to her husband and parents are her five sons, Jacob Preston Reid (Harley) of Greenville, Bennett Bartels Reid of Pittsburgh, Thomas Hunt "Hunter" Reid (May), Patrick John Reid (Casey) and William Kelsey Reid (Bailey), all of Greenville; stepdaughters, Rachel Lyle Bridgers of Greenville, Sherrod Bridgers Law (Jeremy) of Columbia, South Carolina, and Ellis Hutchison Bridgers of York, England, UK; a sister, Jeri Bartels Blair (Lee) of Weaverville, North Carolina; sisters-in-law, Anne Bryan Hanson (Phillip) of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Mary Sherrod Abrahamson (Kent) of Chicago; brothers-in-law, Grover Eugene "Raz" Reid Jr. (Kerry) of Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Kenneth Andrew Reid (Jane) of Greenville; 12 grandchildren, Annabelle, Hudson, Bennett, Davis, Miller, Bruce, Andrew, Leila, Kathryn Belle, Eliza, Kemp and Charlie Reid; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held on Monday, March 28, at Buncombe Street United Methodist Church in Greenville, South Carolina. Those that were unable to attend in person may view a live stream of the service at https://www.buncombestreetumc.org/funerals. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Clement's Kindness, 630 E Washington St, Suite A, Greenville, SC 29601 or www.clementskindness.org. Condolences may be expressed at www.thomasmcafee.com.

In the past, a great engine was paramount to a performance car. It was - and in a lot of respects still is - the beating heart of these fun models.
However, as more of us become aware of the crisis facing our planet and take action, there has been an increasing number of performance EVs coming to market, with manufacturers thinking of clever ways of keeping us entertained behind the wheel, even without the sound of an engine.
So, what are the best performance electric cars on the market today?
Porsche Taycan
If ever there was a firm that could make an electric car fun to drive, it would be Porsche. And this German sports car brand did just that with its Taycan, which launched in 2020. It really is brilliant behind the wheel, handling in a similar manner to the firm's 911, while feeling remarkably agile considering its heavy weight. Choose the flagship Turbo S and it's stupendously fast - 0-60mph takes under three seconds.
The Taycan also looks stunning, while has a top-notch interior that perfectly blends quality with technology. You can also choose it as a saloon, or more spacious Cross and Sport Turismo body styles, that bring estate car practicality.
Tesla Model 3 Performance
Tesla was an early pioneer in showing electric cars could pack some serious pace, and its range of cars remain fun to drive, particularly where rapid acceleration is concerned. Choose the brand's Model 3 - the second most popular car in the UK in 2021 - in 'Performance' form and it really is rapid, with 0-60mph possible in just 3.1 seconds.
In this Performance guise, the Model 3 also handles better than most electric cars, with quick and precise steering making it good fun to drive. This Tesla is also brimmed with technology, while even this sporty version offers a claimed range of up to 340 miles.
BMW i4 M50
You know things are getting serious with electric cars when established brands' performance divisions start working on EVs - and that's exactly the case with BMW and its new i4 M50. It's a direct rival to the Tesla Model 3 Performance, with its twin motors serving up 536bhp, and allowing for a 0-60mph time of 3.6 seconds.
While not quite as nimble as BMW's traditional M cars, the i4 is still excellent to drive, while offering a higher-quality interior and greater practicality than the Tesla.
Audi RS e-tron GT
The Audi RS e-tron GT was always set up to succeed, as it's underpinned by the same setup as the Porsche Taycan, and though it might be more angled towards comfort than sportiness (unlike the Porsche), it's still a superb performance car.
In this RS guise, it uses a slightly different powertrain to the Porsche, but still puts out a vast 589bhp, or 636bhp in overboost mode - meaning a 0-60mph sprint time of 3.3 seconds is possible. The e-tron GT is arguably one of the best-looking EVs on the market too, while its interior is superb for both quality and practicality.
Ford Mustang Mach-e GT
It was always a bold move for Ford to use the 'Mustang' name for its Mach-e electric SUV, but in the recent 'GT' guise it's spawned, it now feels deserving of the moniker. Ford's Performance division have even worked on this car, with its twin electric motors developing a huge 480bhp - making it by far the brand's most powerful five-seater car to date.
That standout performance figure equates to a 0-60mph time of just 3.5 seconds, while other tweaks include a bespoke MagneRide suspension setup and Brembo brakes.
Lotus Evija
Our last choice is a bit of a wildcard, as it's a car we've not actually driven yet. But given Lotus' reputation for making sensational drivers' cars, we have high hopes for this electric hypercar. Yes, electric.
You only need to look at some of the facts and figures - 2000bhp and a 200mph-plus top speed, with Lotus expecting it to be the lightest electric hypercar on the market. The downside? It's expected to cost in the region of £2m...

It shouldn’t be comfy. When it rains, the water comes inside. We get scared that the mud construction will collapse at some point, particularly since it has been raining a lot.
The household has electrical energy however they battle with water, Kegomoditswe added.
“We fetch water from a communal tap in the community.”
Often, she mentioned, it is not obtainable.
While campaigning as an impartial ward councillor throughout the municipal elections, native politician Boikhutso Seemela met the household.
“I saw Tshose’s home but I never approached them because it would have seemed as if I was looking for votes. At that moment, I promised myself that I would help them whether or not I win or lose .”
“After the elections, the results came out and unfortunately, I did not win, but I still went to her home and I told her I want to help her build a house irrespective of the outcome of the elections,” he mentioned.
The politician co-founded the Motlhalerwa Tota Foundation which organised a three-day biking occasion from Park Station, Johannesburg to Makosheng in March.
In addition to the funds raised from the weekend biking occasion, Seemela mentioned a belief account was open to the general public to donate in the direction of the initiative.

They managed to boost about R3 000. They count on a R10 000 donation from a funeral group in April.
“I am hoping that by September, the house will be done,” Seemela added.
Tshose mentioned she tried a number of instances to use for an RDP home over the previous few years however at all times reached a lifeless finish.
“I have applied multiple times, and every time I am rejected, and I keep filling in forms. I have watched them build these RDP houses while I continued to live in a shack.”
Kegomoditswe, who’s unemployed, added: “It’s hurtful to see other people moving into RDP houses while my mother has been applying and struggling for years.”
The household mentioned they’re at all times given excuses.
Kegomoditswe mentioned:
The final time we utilized, my mom didn’t get a home as a result of they mentioned she submitted her marriage certificates alongside along with her husband’s dying certificates. The dying certificates said that when the person died, he was single.
The household claims a person named Hendrick helped them with their paperwork. It is unclear whether or not Hendrick labored for the Department of Human Settlements or if he was a group consultant.
When News24 reached out to the Department of Human Settlements, it mentioned Tshose was not on the system.
According to North West Department of Human Settlements spokesperson Dineo Lolokwane, this implies they haven’t any file to indicate that Tshose utilized for a home.
The division, nonetheless, advised News24 that it could attain out to the household to advise them on a manner ahead.
In the meantime, the group could possibly be the household’s saving grace.

‘Maple syrup heist’ thief has to pay victims C$9m (US$7m) or serve six more years in jail (representative image). Photograph:( Twitter )
Canada’s supreme court on Thursday ruled Vallières needs to pay back the full amount of the syrup he stole and then sold, not just the profits of the crime. “The Great Canada maple syrup heist”, a C$17 million caper, led to a huge investigation and a Hollywood screenplay
Infamous ‘maple syrup heist’ thief has a new challenge now. Richard Vallières, who was the mastermind behind the crime, has to pay victims C$9m (US$7m) or serve six more years in jail.
Wondering what it is all about? Well, a man in Canada stole the maple syrup reserve in Quebec province and then sold the illicit product.
Vallières could not succeed for long as the police got the tip, and he and his accomplices landed in jail. His plan to make millions of dollars went awry.

Canada’s supreme court on Thursday ruled Vallières needs to pay back the full amount of the syrup he stole and then sold, not just the profits of the crime.
“The Great Canada maple syrup heist”, a C$17 million caper, led to a huge investigation and a Hollywood screenplay.
In 2011, a group of thieves stole syrup from thousands of white metal barrels in warehouses rented by the Federation of Maple Syrup Producers.
The thieves knew barrels were inspected only once a year in the strategic reserve. So, they replaced the syrup with water and transported it to the province of New Brunswick. Syrup was packaged and sold to different buyers.

In 2012, an inspector noticed that some barrels were empty while others were lighter than usual. On investigation, the Federation realised that 9,571 barrels, worth nearly C$18m, were stolen.
In police raids, 16 people were held, and Vallières was identified as the group’s leader.
He was found guilty of fraud, trafficking and theft and sentenced to eight years in prison. The criminal was also fined C$9.4m, the value of the syrup sold.
Vallières was given 10 years to pay the amount or face a six-year prison term.
In an appeal, the amount was reduced to only C$1 million as Vallières claimed the amount had been the profit on his theft. But on Thursday, Canada’s top court restored the original fine.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies are back in the NCAA title game for the first time in six years after getting through one of the most difficult seasons of the Hall of Fame coach’s career.
Paige Bueckers scored 14 points and UConn advanced to the national championship game with a 63-58 win over defending champion Stanford on Friday night.
“We didn’t play our A-game on the offensive end, but we did the things we needed to do when we had to do them,” Auriemma said. “We came up big. Don’t know what more I can say about this group than we have been saying. pretty remarkable to be honest with you.”
The Huskies will face South Carolina for the national championship on Sunday night. The Gamecocks beat Louisville 72-59 in the first game of the national semifinals. UConn and South Carolina met in November in the championship game of a tournament in the Bahamas, and the Gamecocks used a strong fourth quarter to win.
It’s UConn’s first trip to the championship game since 2016, when the Huskies won the last of four straight titles. Since then, the team has suffered heartbreaking defeats in the national semifinals, losing twice in overtime.
“I’ve gone into other games at this time and lost and felt a sense of really took me a long, long time to get over some losses in this particular game,” Auriemma said. “This one I didn’t think it would take a long time since we gave it everything we had and it might not be enough. Fortunately, Stanford didn’t have its best.”
UConn (30-5) is seeking its 12th national championship, and the Huskies have never lost in an NCAA title game.
“We know everybody in the world doesn’t think we’re going to win, so we’re like, we might as well just prove everybody wrong and prove ourselves right. We’ve got one more game, we’re not satisfied with this,” Bueckers said. “We’re just trying to win a national championship and leave everything out on the line and it’s our last game of the season, so we have nothing left to give.”.
They had to work to get to the finals. Leading by 52-44 with 1:26 left, Stanford made a furious rally thanks to a few costly UConn turnovers.
Cameron Brink’s layup with 18.4 seconds left got the Cardinal within 60-58. UConn was able to work seven seconds off the clock before Christyn Williams was fouled with 11 seconds left. The senior guard calmly swished both free throws to restore a two-possession lead.
Ashten Prechtel completely missed a tough contested 3-pointer from the wing with 5.4 seconds left and the Huskies held on for the win.
Haley Jones led the Cardinal (32-4) with 20 points.
“We didn’t play very well tonight,” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. “We really struggled running our offense. There was some self-inflicted wounds with what we did out there. It was disappointing. Thought our defense worked really hard.”
The Huskies advanced to the title game after overcoming having eight players sit out at least two games this season with injury or illness, including Bueckers, who missed nearly three months with a left knee injury suffered in early December.
In the fourth quarter, Bueckers came up grimacing when she went down hard going for a defensive rebound. She left the game for a few minutes, and every time she hit the floor, she seemed to check on her knee. She said after the game she was fine.
This was the latest matchup on the biggest stage between the Hall of Fame coaches, who are first and second on the all-time wins list in women’s basketball. Their two teams met 27 years ago in Minneapolis to the day in the national semifinals and the Huskies also won that one. They went on to win their first title that year.
The game got off to a slow start as neither team really could find its shooting touch. UConn led 12-9 after one quarter and was up 27-26 at the half. The teams combined to shoot 36% (23 for 64) in the opening 20 minutes.
NOSE ISSUES
Lexie Hull had to leave the game a few times in the first half to deal with a bloody nose. She left in the first quarter after getting fouled on a drive. Stanford couldn’t get the blood all cleared up from Hull, so Anna Wilson took the two free throws for her. Hull re-entered the game later on with gauze in her left nostril, but had to leave again just before the half when she stared bleeding again. She played the entire second half without further issues.
HOMECOMING
The game served as a homecoming for Bueckers, who grew up 10 miles from Minneapolis and had many friends and family at the game. She played several times in high school in the state tournament in the Target Center.
HEALING HUSKY
UConn post Dorka Juhasz flew in to join her team two days after she had surgery on her fractured left wrist. She suffered the injury in the Huskies’ double-OT win over N.C. State in the regional final Monday. Juhasz sat on the bench in sweats, her arm in a sling.

Only Odua Republic can save Yorubas from Nigeria’s quagmire – Pastor Giwa
A popular Nigerian cleric, Pastor Adewale Giwa, has disclosed that for the Southwest region to be free from the series of challenges facing Nigeria, Odua Republic must be actualised.
The cleric also revealed that as witnessed during the era of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, when the western region was already competing with some countries in terms of development, the Odua Republic will be greater than the United States of America.
According to Pastor Giwa who stated this on Saturday in Akure, Ondo State, everyone will have input in the constitution, unlike the one that was foisted on Nigerians by the military.
“Odua republic will be far better than the United States. The region will be a tourism destination for foreigners.
“We witnessed it before when Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a leader in the southwest region. The region witnessed social development. History will repeat itself if we southwest separates from Nigeria.
“The crisis facing the region will disappear because the Odua republic will have its own constitution that will be entirely different from the military constitution that we rely on in Nigeria.
“The military constitution has continued to cause division among the people. So if the Yoruba nation should leave Nigeria, it will definitely have its own constitution. Everyone will contribute to the constitution in the form of a referendum. So we will have a new constitution.
“When we practised regionalism in Nigeria, there was massive development. Other countries that pulled out that took the bold step years back are doing wonderfully well.
“So if Yoruba should go today, I can assure you that the region will witness a massive development.”

LONDON (AP) — Inflation in Europe soared to another record, according to new EU figures released Friday, in a fresh sign that rising energy prices fueled by Russia’s war in Ukraine are squeezing consumers and adding pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates. Consumer prices...

A few months before she died in February at age 27, Hanna Wilt was living at her mom's home on the New Jersey shore.
"I'm tired and I'm very very bloated," she said. "I get fluid buildup in my belly."
It was a sunny morning, the living room filled with light that caught in Wilt's yellow hair, but she was having a tough day.
She sat in a big stuffed chair, hunched forward holding her stomach. "Essentially you starve to death, is the nature of this disease," Wilt said.
Wilt was a college athlete, a CrossFit instructor and an avid horseback rider. Then at age 22 she felt the first symptoms of an aggressive form of cancer called mesothelioma.
"It was really, really weird," Wilt recalled. "I started not being able to walk right."
Now, after years of unsuccessful treatment, she was terrified by the rapid advance of her illness. But along with the fear, Wilt also voiced outrage and frustration.
Her lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, the company she blamed for making her sick, had been abruptly blocked a few weeks earlier.
"What I see is who can play the game best," Wilt said. "Big corporations trying to work the system in a way that they don't have to take full responsibility is nothing new."
Johnson & Johnson, which is headquartered in New Jersey, is valued at more than $400 billion. But in October 2021, the company used a controversial legal maneuver in bankruptcy court to freeze Wilt's case along with thousands of others.
The company had faced some 38,000 lawsuits claiming that trace amounts of asbestos contamination in Johnson's baby powder caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
"I would use it every day, sometimes a couple times a day to be comfortable in the summer," Wilt said of J&J's talcum powder.
In her lawsuit filed in January 2020, Wilt accused company executives of knowing about the risk for decades and keeping the information from customers.
She pointed to the FDA's announcement in October 2019 that it had found asbestos in one sample of Johnson's baby powder.
"There's definitely an aspect of justice" in suing J&J and wanting her day in court to hold the company accountable, Wilt said.
"This powerful group of people, they lied and were able to potentially ruin so many people's lives."
A $400 billion company pulls the bankruptcy trigger
J&J pulled its iconic Johnson's baby powder off the shelves in the U.S. in 2020, but the company says it took that step only because bad publicity had hurt sales.
Company executives, who declined NPR's repeated requests for an interview, have long denied the product is contaminated or caused anyone's cancer.
"The overwhelming scientific evidence proves Johnson's baby powder is safe and does not cause cancer," said Allison Brown, a company attorney, in a statement J&J sent to NPR.
Normally this is the kind of dispute civil lawsuits are meant to settle. A judge or jury would look at the evidence in a case like Hanna Wilt's and decide whether J&J did anything wrong.
In recent years, Johnson & Johnson has successfully defended itself against many of these baby powder claims but has also lost on occasion.
After one baby powder trial in Oklahoma in 2018, J&J was eventually forced to pay 22 women with ovarian cancer more than $2 billion. That award survived an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
But with most of the cases — including Wilt's — still pending, the company found a way to stop the legal process in civil court, using a complex bankruptcy strategy known in legal circles as the "Texas two-step."
Cancer patients and the Texas two-step
Here's how the maneuver worked. First, last October, J&J spun off a subsidiary in Texas called LTL.
Then, using a wrinkle in Texas state law, J&J was able to transfer all of the potential liability linked to the tsunami of baby powder asbestos claims into the shell of the new company, while keeping valuable assets separate.
LTL then quickly filed for bankruptcy in North Carolina. That move immediately halted the baby powder cases, which could remain on hold for months or years.
Speaking on a public conference call with investors in October, one of J&J's top executives defended the strategy.
"There's an established process that allows companies ... to resolve claims in an efficient and equitable manner," said J&J Chief Financial Officer Joseph Wolk. "It's really the bankruptcy courts that will ultimately decide this."
But for families seeking compensation from J&J, the move by one of the wealthiest corporations in the U.S. sparked anger and dismay.
"It's heartless; it's ruthless," said Hope Schiller Wilt, Hanna's mother. "It's disgusting that for monetary gain they will stop at nothing."
"It is so expensive being sick," added Hanna Wilt. "I can't work, so I'm not providing an income. My Mom can't work. She's taking care of me."
A separate justice system for "Bankruptcy Grifters"?
Legal experts tell NPR that a growing number of wealthy companies, organizations and individuals accused of serious wrongdoing are using similar bankruptcy tactics, hoping to delay or permanently block lawsuits.
They've found openings in state and federal law that allow them to leverage the sweeping power wielded by bankruptcy judges when cutting deals.
But they're not being forced to endure the financial pain and exposure that comes with actually filing for bankruptcy.
Often this means creating a new subsidiary and pushing it into bankruptcy, as in the J&J case. In other instances, wealthy companies or organizations are able to "piggyback" on the bankruptcies of other companies that are actually insolvent.
"I think the level of concern [over this strategy] is high and it's going higher and higher," said Lindsey Simon, who teaches bankruptcy law at the University of Georgia.
Simon was one of the first to raise alarm about the practice in a legal paper called "Bankruptcy Grifters" that was widely circulated before being published this month in the Yale Law Journal.
"These 'bankruptcy grifters' act as parasites," Simon wrote. They get many of the benefits of actual bankruptcy while experiencing "only a fraction of the associated burdens."
These bankruptcy maneuvers have quietly reshaped some of the most important legal cases of recent years.
Members of the Sackler family who own Purdue Pharma aren't themselves bankrupt. But they're expected to piggyback on the bankruptcy of their insolvent drug company.
Under terms of the deal, they would pay roughly $6 billion in exchange for sweeping protections from lawsuits that accused them of marketing OxyContin in ways that fueled the opioid epidemic.
Critics say that payment, while substantial, doesn't achieve the kind of justice and accountability that many victims of OxyContin hoped for.
The settlement, which is still pending, requires no apology from the Sacklers, who have long denied any wrongdoing. It will also leave much of the $10 billion in revenue the family earned from opioid sales untouched.
In the end, if the deal is finalized, those harmed by OxyContin addiction will be forced to forfeit any right to sue the Sacklers, while often receiving only a few thousand dollars in compensation.
The Koch brothers, billionaires known for funding a wide range of conservative political organizations, also used a bankruptcy maneuver to freeze asbestos-related lawsuits linked to one of their companies, Georgia-Pacific.
In that case, also still pending, Georgia-Pacific spun off a new subsidiary in 2017 called Bestwall that quickly filed for bankruptcy. Georgia-Pacific offered to pay $1 billion into a compensation fund.
But no payments have yet been made. People attempting to sue over cancer claims in that case have seen their lawsuits frozen for nearly five years.
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee and the Boy Scouts have also used complex bankruptcy maneuvers to shield themselves and their affiliate organizations from lawsuits linked to claims of child sexual abuse.
Critics, including Republican and Democratic members of Congress, point out that these legal maneuvers are available only to those wealthy enough to pay large sums as part of bankruptcy settlements.
"There's a justice system for rich people, powerful corporations and then there's a justice system for everybody else," said U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., in a recent speech on the Senate floor decrying these bankruptcy deals.
"Many days it seems the gulf between these two systems is just getting wider and deeper."
Is this even legal?
The U.S. Justice Department's bankruptcy watchdog division has also condemned settlements of this type, describing them as unconstitutional.
In legal filings last year made after Purdue Pharma filed for bankruptcy, the DOJ argued that such deals force people who have filed lawsuits to "involuntarily settle" even if they prefer to have their case heard in court, effectively denying them due process rights.
In a statement in December 2021, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said "the bankruptcy court did not have the authority to deprive victims of the opioid crisis of their right to sue the Sackler family."
That settlement deal, along with several others involving non-bankrupt players, is now being challenged. Some legal scholars believe they will eventually be declared improper nationwide by federal appeals courts.
"I think if you really look closely at what bankruptcy code allows, it's not altogether clear this is permitted," Simon said.
"I think there's a realistic chance that at some point a court will say it's not allowed."
Congress is also considering bipartisan legislation that would sharply limit these bankruptcy deals.
Opening the floodgates
But for now, a relatively small number of bankruptcy judges are allowing and even encouraging wealthy companies and individuals accused of wrongdoing to use this kind of maneuver.
After J&J offered to create a fund worth billions of dollars through the bankruptcy court to compensate cancer victims, the bankruptcy judge presiding over the case praised the proposed arrangement.
"Justice will best be served by expeditiously providing critical compensation through a court-supervised, fair, and less costly settlement trust arrangement," wrote Judge Michael Kaplan in February.
Kaplan acknowledged concern that "allowing this case to proceed will inevitably open the floodgates to similar machinations" by other companies. He then added, "maybe the gates indeed should be opened."
During a hearing on the J&J matter this week, Kaplan also acknowledged this case is both controversial and precedent-setting and therefore warrants review by the federal appeals court.
"I'm being blamed for a lot," Kaplan said. "Clearly ... this impacts decisions and restructurings or potential restructurings beyond what's being litigated in this court."
But bankruptcy maneuvers of this kind, involving non-bankrupt companies and individuals, do have supporters.
Some judges, legal scholars and corporate executives see bankruptcy court as an efficient way to simplify and reach closure on complex litigation, even in cases where the main players aren't insolvent.
They argue that companies sometimes wind up paying victims and creditors faster.
Even some critics, including Simon, say these kinds of settlements should be available to bankruptcy courts as a tool in rare, carefully regulated situations.
Caught in a legal maze as time ran out
But individuals caught in this legal maze say it feels unfair and baffling to find their lawsuits sidelined because of bankruptcy maneuvers carried out by wealthy companies.
In cases involving ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, there's a high likelihood people will die while waiting for these maneuvers to play out.
"I'm a young girl, my entire life has been dramatically changed," Hanna Wilt said before her death on Valentine's Day. "I'm angry and I think there's a lot of sadness."
"For her to see justice would have not saved her life," said her mother, Hope. "But she would have felt like a company like this couldn't get away with doing what they've done and causing such horrible heartache."
Wilt's family said they do plan to continue her lawsuit — "It's what she wanted," her mother said — but the case could remain stuck in bankruptcy court for months or years.
It's not clear how a court will rule in any of the tens of thousands of remaining baby powder cases, if they are eventually allowed to move forward.
What is clear, according to legal experts, is that this Johnson & Johnson case is being watched and studied as a test case.
If this bankruptcy maneuver works for Johnson & Johnson, even more wealthy companies and individuals are likely to use bankruptcy court to delay or permanently block lawsuits when accused of wrongdoing.

In Michael Kinsley's immortal definition, "A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth -- some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say." By that standard, the term would definitely apply to Joe Biden's recent condemnation of Vladimir Putin.
"For God's sake," Biden blurted out, "this man cannot remain in power."
An international coalition of Nervous Nellies and lunchroom monitors pronounced themselves aghast. You'd think the president had intentionally broken wind at a state dinner, or proclaimed a Supreme Court justice's wife as crazy as an outhouse rat.
No sooner had he made the remark at the end of a powerful speech expressing the West's determination to resist Russian aggression -- Biden warned Putin not to advance "on one single inch of NATO territory" -- than White House staff began walking it back. "Regime change" in Russia, they emphasized, is not American policy.
A hand-wringing Washington Post headline read: "Biden's Putin remark pushes U.S.-Russia relations closer to collapse."
People are also reading…
Not Putin's manifest crimes against humanity, mind you, but Biden's outburst. Might it not push Putin's imagined paranoia over the edge?
On the Sunday talk shows, Republican politicians competed with Kremlin spokesmen to express their shock. On NBC's "Meet the Press," GOP Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio worried that Biden's indignation "plays into the hands of Russian propagandists and plays into the hands of Vladimir Putin."
Kremlin mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov said it wasn't up to Biden to decide who the Russian president should be. Somewhat laughably, he insisted that was up to the "Russian people," whose say-so is entirely theoretical, given Putin's practice of having political rivals jailed or murdered. Indeed, the Little Czar's reign resembles nothing so much as a series of footnotes to Dostoyevsky's prophetic 1872 novel "The Possessed." Suffice it to say that Russia has never experienced democracy, instead lurching periodically from one form of dictatorship to another.
Even so, America's imaginary determination to conquer Russia is a major feature of the Putin regime's propaganda, despite the U.S. having restrained itself from trying since 1945. Anybody familiar with Russian suffering in World War II can understand a degree of national paranoia, although Biden was surely correct to say that Putin's pledge to "de-Nazify" Ukraine is both "cynical" and "obscene."
Nevertheless, to many Russians, it plays.
That said, and much to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's dismay, everything about President Biden's strong but measured approach to Ukraine's agony has demonstrated extreme U.S. reluctance to go to war in Russia's backyard. First Napoleon and then Adolf Hitler long ago proved the futility of doing so.
And that was before Russia acquired nuclear weapons.
Even so, God forbid that the Russian dictator should get his little feelings hurt. Why, he might do something crazy, such as bomb Ukrainian apartment buildings, hospitals and orphanages.
War crimes, all.
Even French President Emmanuel Macron of France, a stalwart NATO ally, expressed a degree of concern with Biden's outburst. "I wouldn't use this kind of words," Macron said in a television interview. He said that he hoped to broker a cease-fire and a Russian withdrawal by diplomatic means. "If we want to do this," Macron added, "we mustn't escalate, neither with words nor with actions."
Down at the police station, this tactic is known as the good cop/bad cop approach to dealing with recalcitrant suspects. And cops use it because it works. Do you want to cut a deal with the very angry American president, or the more understanding French one?
Italy's foreign minister, Luigi Di Maio, put it another way. President Biden, he said, had used words "that must make Putin clearly understand that he has to stop." The American president, he added, made "a very clear speech, he used resolute words ... But let's remember that on the other side, Putin uses bombs."
Was Ronald Reagan wrong to call the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire"? Was it a terrible gaffe by a doddering old man to personalize the Cold War when Reagan urged "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"? Many thought so at the time, but few would say so now.
In his Warsaw speech, Biden cast the Ukraine crisis as a new Cold War, a generational conflict: "a new great battle for freedom: a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression, between a rules-based order and one governed by brute force."
Like blogger Kevin Drum, I doubt Biden's spontaneous remark will send Putin over the edge. "Quite the opposite," Drum wrote: "The fact that Biden is obviously very sincere in his loathing of Putin makes it clear that the U.S. and NATO are unlikely to back down in Ukraine." Putin would be well advised to find a pathway to retreat from a disaster of his own creation.
Good cop/bad cop.
Biden himself now says he never meant to endorse a policy of "regime change," but had an emotional reaction to meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
That's good enough for me.

Please remember that you must meet all the exigences supplémentaires d'entrée covid, and this includes applying for a Thailand Pass to enter Thailand as well.
You will be directly connected to this hotel via email, and they will collect your documents, and request payment.
We only offer Instant Confirmation Letters, and guarantees for our INSTANT CONFIRMATION hotels listed HERE.
Designed by architectural guru Bill Bensley, The Siam Hotel is a singular display of pure spectacle done in the most serene taste with an approach from the river on its own beautiful boat. Ancient Thai houses have been reassembled on the river’s edge as intimate restaurants. Behind them, the enormous property opens up via wide pathways and stairs. You walk past luxury villas with their own private courtyards and bathing pools through to the main inner covered court. Here, three tiers of beautifully appointed rooms rise up around a huge reflecting pool with enormous banana trees. There is a massive Moroccan-style, sunken courtyard surrounded by a spa and treatment rooms of princely portions. Scale, in fact, is the theme here, as it is in most Bensley-designed hotels. The public area takes up far more space than the residential with only 39 rooms in this entire property. All the various buildings are studded with antique details that have been incorporated into the design. Ancient doors, pillars, window-frames, screens, door-handles, and so on are all functional parts of the design, as are one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture, sculptures, and extremely rare free-standing pieces just there to blow your mind. If you’re looking for Asian-inspired hospitality, look no further than The Siam Hotel.

New Delhi [India], April 2 (ANI): Emphasising the Centre's developmental feat in the northeastern region of the country, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said that the Northeast has become the mainstream of the country.
Union Minister Kiran Rijiju expressed pride and satisfaction while addressing the media today on AFSPA.
Briefing the mediapersons, Rijiju said, "I am addressing you with a sense of pride and satisfaction. For the first time, it feels that the Northeast has become the mainstream. We always used to hear that the Northeast has to be connected to the mainstream. Today, I can say it is already in the mainstream in the country."
He further said, "After Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the manner in which importance has been given to the Northeast to take it forward and the manner in which 'Look East' has been turned into 'Act East' and action began, this Northeast has entered into a transformational mode."

The Union Minister hails the Centre's decision to withdraw the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from major areas of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur.
Rijiju said, "The recent decision to withdraw AFSPA from major areas of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur is a revolutionary decision. When AFSPA is withdrawn, it means that peace has returned to that area."
"I want to tell the country that people were earlier afraid to visit the northeast. They used to ask me if it was safe to visit the Northeast? Now everybody can go there and spend time. There is no disturbance there," he added.
In a major step taken after decades, the Centre on Friday reduced disturbed areas under AFSPA in the states of Nagaland, Assam and Manipur; and kept it effective in a few districts and areas falling within the jurisdiction of some police stations in these states for next six months. (ANI)

Louisville basketball team have nothing to hang heads about after Final Four run
MINNEAPOLIS — Emily Engstler has only been at Louisville for 10 months, but she embodies the women's basketball program has come to stand for.
The Syracuse transfer is as competitive as anybody on the roster, but also smart, caring and understanding. She left the court with five fouls with 4:56 left in Friday's NCAA Tournament Final Four in the Target Center, in Minneapolis, sat on the bench and put her head in her knees, crying.
Then she grabbed a towel, wiped her face off and went to meet her team in the timeout huddle. In the postgame press conference after the team's 72-59 loss to South Carolina, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, Engstler had the remnants of tears but talked with pride for Louisville's fourth Final Four team.
Louisville finished the season 29-5, but coach Jeff Walz likes to say 30-5 due to the Virginia forfeit. And despite the loss, Louisville went out the exact way it got to Minneapolis for the Final Four — fighting.
How they got here:'Coach them hard, love them harder': How Jeff Walz built a Louisville basketball powerhouse
"We lost this game, but I don't think we gave up, not on one play," said Engstler, who finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and four fouls. "I think we should all leave this arena and Minneapolis with our heads held very high."
When South Carolina went up 11-2 in the first four minutes of the game, Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley knew the Cardinals were going to answer. And they did, going on a 12-0 run to take a 3-point lead in the second quarter.
"We could never put them away because of their fight and their competitiveness and their ability to hang in there and defend and score and turn us over," Staley said. "They created a great environment for all of women's basketball fans to be excited about."
Louisville fought back even in the second half.
South Carolina opened the half on a 10-2 run and pushed its lead to 15 points, but Louisville cut back into it. The Cardinals trailed by six with 46 seconds left in the third quarter. It was within striking distance until national player of the year Aliyah Boston converted an and-1 in the final seconds of the quarter.
Biggest fan:U of L basketball, Hailey Van Lith have a fan in Jazz star, former Card Donovan Mitchell
The Cardinals never cut the lead to less than nine points the rest of the way.
All season Louisville showed a level of grit and intensity in keeping with the program's identity. It's what got the Cardinals to its first Final Four in three years. It was on display again in Friday's loss.
Walz was adamant afterward no changes are coming in the program. Four Final Fours in 15 years, two in four years — the Cardinals are a program here to stay, he said.
"We're not going to change anything. I don't think there's any reason to change anything. We've been to four Final Fours in 15 years. I don't think that's too shabby," Walz said. "Do we want to win a national championship? Of course we do. But again, I'm just telling you, you've got to get lucky. You've got to get a few breaks to go your way."
Losing Engstler, Kianna Smith, who had 14 points, and Chelsie Hall will not be easy for the program. Kianna Smith had a case to be named an all-conference player, Engstler is a pending first-round WNBA pick and more. Louisville will dip back into the transfer portal to fill those holes.
More on Engstler:In blessing Emily Engstler's addition, Mykasa Robinson enabled Louisville's Final Four run
But there is talent returning to this squad next year.
Hailey Van Lith, despite scoring just nine points, looks like a future All-American. She impressed Walz all season long and is an obvious cornerstone for 2022-23.
"I thought her leadership really just took off this season. She's really embraced that. She does a great job of being able to communicate with all of her teammates," Walz said. "She'll just continue to get better and better because she puts the work in."
The Cardinals have also seen growth from Olivia Cochran this season, and she was terrific in the NCAA Tournament. She had 14 points Friday and always seemed to be a player that came through when the brightest lights were on.
Then there's freshman Payton Verhulst, Mykasa Robinson, Ahlana Smith, Liz Dixon and others. Those Cardinals, like the players who returned after the 2018 loss, will have the chance to learn from Friday's loss.

"I think it's the experience and feeling of being here and knowing what this whole week feels like," Walz said. "The drive to want to get back that, to me, is what it's all about. When you've been to it, you want to get back to it because it's a great experience."
The Cardinals are disappointed in this loss. They had aspirations of a national championship all season. They weren't ultimately good enough to reach that goal, but as Engstler said, they should leave Minnesota proud.
"I'm extremely proud of this team, and I've had an amazing time with them," she said.

The true cost of electric vehicles
Last updated 4/1/2022 at 2:56pm
For those of you who are being fooled by this EV propaganda, please learn some facts.
A typical EV battery weighs 1,000 pounds. It contains 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells.
Lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, copper, aluminum, steel, plastic, all those toxic components come from mining. For instance, to manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just – one – battery.
Sixty-eight percent of the world's cobalt, a significant part of a battery, comes from the Congo. Their mines have no pollution controls, and they employ children who die from handling this toxic material. Should we factor in these diseased kids as part of the cost of driving an electric car?

New Delhi: The prices of over 800 drugs, including life-saving medicines, will go up by more than 10 per cent from April 1.
Though the upper limit of the hike has not been declared, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has clarified that the increase in Wholesale Price Index (WPI), compared to previous years, is 10.76 per cent and the hike in prices of medicines will be in consonance with this increase.
This is the highest one-time increase in the prices of medicines under price control regime, since the NPPA came into being in 1997. Last year, the hike was just 0.5 per cent, while it was two per cent in 2020.
The prices of various medicines have been increased, including paracetamol and antibiotics like azithromycin, medicines to prevent anaemia, vitamin-mineral tablets, medicines for diabetes and cardiac ailments and some medicines used for Covid treatment.
Pharmaceutical companies are permitted to increase the prices of non-scheduled drugs by 10 per cent annually, which does not come under price control. However, the NPPA has to give the go-ahead to increase the prices of medicines which come under price control. Of the total number of medicines sold, 16 per cent come under price control mechanisms.
The hike was demanded by pharma companies
The Indian Drug Manufacturers Association had urged the Central government in November to increase the price of scheduled drugs by 10 per cent.
They had pointed out the increase in cost of components required for drug manufacturing, packaging and import duty as the reasons for the demand.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s hard to find anyone on board with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to toughen the state’s bail laws, two years after they were retooled to keep people from being jailed because they are poor.
Reform advocates say the system should be left alone. Police leaders and even some of the governor's fellow Democrats say the proposal doesn’t go far enough to roll back what they consider soft treatment of criminals.
The debate over bail in New York is emblematic of a fight taking place elsewhere in the U.S.
A spike in violence during the COVID-19 pandemic has Democrats eager to show they’re tough on crime ahead of this year’s midterm elections, from the White House on down, but the party is struggling to find a common message with progressives pushing the need for police reform and moderates focusing instead on rising crime rates.
Hochul’s attempt to stake out a middle ground has provoked criticism from all points of the political spectrum.
“I think that’s a sign that you’re in the right place,” she said of her plan in March. The proposal would continue to limit instances in which people would be required to post bail, but make more crimes eligible for detention and give judges more discretion to consider a defendant’s criminal history.
New York changed its bail laws in response to public outcry over prisoners accused of minor crimes being held in jail for extended periods while awaiting trial because they couldn't afford to pay bail — a system where a person puts up cash as a guarantee that they will return to court.
The state's answer was to eliminate cash bail for many nonviolent offenses — a reform that frustrated some law enforcement officials who warned that people released back to the streets would commit new crimes.
But with violent crime up across America, crime rates have been an easy target and longstanding bogeyman for Republicans, who have wasted no opportunity to make it a campaign issue in races around the U.S., including governor’s races in Illinois, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
Democrats, bracing for tough midterm elections, are eager to prove they're responding, in some cases emphasizing efforts to provide more money to police departments while making scant mention of reforms they embraced a few years ago.
In Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz is up for reelection and has been touring the state promoting his $300 million public safety plan. He has not focused on the reform measures he signed after police killed George Floyd in the state almost two years ago.
Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who is also running for reelection this year, has been hammered by Republicans over crime and like Hochul, is facing bipartisan pressure to toughen bail laws.
A record-setting spate of homicides in Albuquerque has ratcheted up pressure on New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, including from some fellow Democrats. The first-term governor has joined efforts to ban pretrial release for certain violent crimes, though some legislators in her own party have balked at rolling back reforms that largely ended money bail.
President Joe Biden in his budget this week highlighted funding for police — for body cameras, crime prevention strategies, drug treatment, mental health and criminal justice reform.
This winter, he made a trip to New York City to stand with the city’s new mayor, Eric Adams, a former police captain.
“The answer is not to defund the police,” Biden said. “It is to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners, to be protectors and know the community.”
In comparison, while campaigning for president, Biden instead spoke more about criminal justice reforms and the need to reverse some of the toughest measures of the 1994 crime bill he helped write.
In New York, the fierce debate over bail has been one factor that caused legislators to miss an April 1 deadline to pass a new state budget.
Hochul initially said she didn’t want to touch the state’s bail laws until she saw data indicating the reforms were responsible for a crime spike. Democrats who control the state Legislature likewise said they were uninterested in unwinding reforms.
A recent report from New York City's fiscal watchdog found that the percentage of people who committed new crimes after being released from jail hasn't budged since the bail reform measure passed.
But now, some Democrats have joined Republicans in calling for a repeal. They include U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi of Long Island, who is challenging Hochul in the governor's race; Adams, who has made cracking down on crime in New York City a top priority; and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has started criticizing the bail reforms he signed as he contemplates running for office again.
At some point in recent weeks, Hochul changed her mind and drafted a plan to tweak the law. She avoided talking about it publicly, though, for days after it leaked to the media.
Nearly a week later, Hochul defended the plan in an op-ed, saying that while the state's bail laws were not the main cause of a rise in shootings during the pandemic, they needed to be changed.
Democrat Jumaane Williams, New York City’s public advocate who is also challenging Hochul in the governor's race, said the governor “should show courage and leadership on this issue, or at the very least pick a side between fearmongering and facts.”
It's unclear if Democrats controlling the statehouse will meet the governor somewhere in the middle as they continue negotiating, but the pressure has ratcheted up in recent days.
New York City's police commissioner visited Albany to press for reforms. Defenders of the current law were arrested for demonstrating outside the governor's office and one lawmaker, Democratic Assembly Member Latrice Walker of Brooklyn, was on day nine Thursday of a hunger strike to protest any rollbacks as negotiations continued.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has been preaching client politics in the United States of America (USA), indicating that the next NDC government will prioritise the welfare of party people ahead of national development.
Seeking to offset a tough message on neglecting the party faithful and campaigning for ex-President John Dramani Mahama to lead the party again in the 2024 general election, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo said there would be preferential treatment for people from the party’s stock when the party comes back to power.
He told NDC members in the USA recently that the party tends to focus on national development at the expense of the welfare of party members whenever they get power, adding that the situation will not be the same when the NDC regains power.
Attempting to induce loyalty among rank-and-file members, the NDC Chairman said they would reward members for their contributions towards recapturing power, adding, “Let me say that I am the apostle for ‘no contribution, no chop.’ Mr. [former] President has given me that office and I am going to ensure that is implemented,” he posited.
“What we the NDC have done is that when we are in power, we think about Ghana too much and forget about ourselves,” he reiterated.
The national chairman’s remark is similar to recent pronouncement by the NDC National Youth Organiser, George Opare Addo, who said the NDC had learnt hard lessons from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
After two consecutive defeats, ex-President John Mahama is mounting a comeback ahead of a historic election two years away, setting the stage for a likely presidential bid that will add to the unpredictability of the country’s transition from global crisis.
The NDC lost power to the NPP in 2016 and 2020, with former President Mahama as the presidential candidate. He was the leader of the NDC comeback campaign tour in the US.

Intel acquires Granulate to boost cloud workload speeds
To improve performance of workloads spanning multiple clouds and on-premises environments, Intel has acquired Granulate Cloud Solutions, specialists in autonomous optimization tools.
Building out its portfolio of software optimization tools, Intel today acquired Israeli-based Granulate Cloud Solutions Ltd. for an undisclosed sum.
Granulate’s offering is designed to continuously boost the performance of compute workloads in larger data centers, while reportedly reducing infrastructure and cloud costs.
"Granulate’s software can be applied to production workloads without requiring customers to make changes to its code, driving optimized hardware and software value for every cloud and data center customer," said Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s datacenter and AI Group, in a prepared statement.
Users can implement Granulate’s software to its existing workloads without making any change to its existing code, Rivera added.
Cloud computing and microservices have created more flexibility for distributed applications and deployment scalability, but they have also created complex performance issues that can’t be efficiently managed by existing operating systems and application libraries.
Another complicating factor holding down performance is many IT pros continue to use or deploy older versions of Windows and Linux and application libraries that aren’t compatible with the latest processors, according to Intel.
Intel believes Granulate's software can address these issues by reducing CPU utilization and application latencies. It does this by intelligently learning how users’ applications work and then leveraging a customized set of continuous optimizations at runtime, the company said.
The acquisition, which has been widely rumored since early March, is a logical step for the company to take, according to one analyst.
"This [acquisition] puts autonomous optimization at the silicon level instead of the cloud management/cluster management level," said Daniel Newman, principal analyst with Futurum Research and CEO with Broadsuite Media Group. "It yields better performance but also higher productivity and places less strain on IT resources."
The addition of Granulate's software to Intel's network management software portfolio could strengthen the latter's competitive position against Nvidia, which also has been acquiring similar companies to fill out the management of its high-performing computing systems.
In May 2020, Nvidia acquired Cumulus Networks, which Nvidia said would allow it to optimize a complete networking stack chips to application software including its Cumulus NetQ. The networking platform lets enterprises and cloud-scale data centers gain better control over their operations.
In 2019, Nvidia spent $6.9 billion to acquire Mellanox, which also helps boost datacenter-class workloads across computing, networking, and storage stacks, and reportedly lowers operating costs.
Intel officials expect Granulate's software to help users right-size their compute clusters and cloud deployments. In so doing, Granulate's software can be deployed on smaller compute clusters. It also helps reduce costs by eliminating the need for developers to get involved in the implementation, according to Intel.
Granulate's offering works across multiple clouds and on-premises environments, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, boosting response times up to 40% and throughput by up to five times, depending on how complex an individual users' environment is.
The deal is expected to close sometime in this year's second quarter. At that time Granulate's 120 employees will join Intel's Datacenter and AI business unit.

Indian equity markets kick off FY23 on a strong note thanks to easing crude oil prices, some positive news flows on the Russia-Ukraine front, some buying by FIIs, continuous support by DIIs, and a pick up in industrial activities.
Global markets are stable. However, there is still no clarity about the geopolitical situation while there are worries of both high inflation and slowdown as China is struggling with COVID.
This week, the RBI credit policy will be a critical factor in the direction of Indian markets because it seems that RBI is behind the curve as most of the central banks have already hiked interest rates while RBI is maintaining the status quo. It will be interesting to see how RBI will manage inflation and growth tradeoff where commentary will be crucial.
Historically, April remains one of the best months for the equity markets where Midcap and Smallcap stocks tend to outperform. It will be important to see how FIIs will behave in FY23 after relentless selling in the second half of FY22 however they have changed their gear in the last week with decent buying of Rs5600Cr.
If we look at the derivative data then the April series begins on a strong note as FIIs' long exposure stands at 71 percent and the Put call ratio is sitting at a comfortable level of 1.31. Fear index or volatility index India Vix has also fallen below the 19 mark however it has support near 200-DMA around 17.5. If we look at the OI distribution chart then put writers are looking confident at the 17500 level while 18000 looks as immediate resistance.
Technically, the Nifty is continuing its strong bullish momentum following a breakout of 17,350 level where 17800 is an immediate resistance while 18,000-18,100 is a critical resistance zone. On the downside, the 17,500-17,450 zone will act as an immediate support area while 17,100 is critical support at any sharp pullback.
Finally, Banknifty manages to take out the critical resistance zone of 36,700-37,000 and it is showing strong momentum where 38,000 looks like an immediate target however 37,400 is an intermediate hurdle. On the downside, the 36,700 level should act as a support now while 36,000 is the next critical support level.
