New-age entrepreneurs should not chase valuations but follow dreams passionately: Raymond CMD
- Country:
- India
New-age entrepreneurs should not to chase valuations but follow their dreams passionately, Raymond Chairman and Managing Director Gautam Hari Singhania has said.
Chasing valuation could be ''fickle'', Singhania said while facilitating the winners of the Raymond CEO Forum on Friday.
Today’s businesses believe in ‘cash-burn’ but as a traditional company always believe on ‘cash- flows’, he said, adding both styles of businesses will co-exist.
''We have seen new-age entrepreneurs chasing valuations, which can be fickle…So the age-old way of doing business for profit, looking after cash-flows is important,'' said a company statement quoting Singhania.
Felicitating the winners of the Raymond CEO Forum, Singhania said Indian leaders are making a stronger presence felt not just in our country but across the world and the rising number of Indian CEOs in global workplaces is a great testimony to our leadership.
''In a new world order, India is in a bright spot and I believe that the time is opportune for our nation to rise to the occasion and make greater strides,'' he said.
Singhania also cautioned against the growing inflation.
Raymond CEO Forum India Awards honours leadership excellence. The awardees included C.P. Gurnani of Tech Mahindra, Falguni Nayar from Nykaa, Dr Krishna Ella of Bharat Biotech, Sunil Dutt from Jio and M R Kumar from LIC.

EXCLUSIVE-Sri Lanka to seek $3 billion to stave off crisis -finance minister
The island nation of 22 million people has been hit by prolonged power cuts and shortages which have drawn protesters out on to the streets and put President Gotabaya Rajapaksa under mounting pressure. "It's a Herculean task," Finance Minister Ali Sabry said in his first interview since taking office this week, referring to finding $3 billion in bridge financing as the country readies for negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this month.
Sri Lanka will need about $3 billion in external assistance in the next six months to help restore supplies of essential items including fuel and medicine, its finance minister told Reuters on Saturday. The island nation of 22 million people has been hit by prolonged power cuts and shortages which have drawn protesters out on to the streets and put President Gotabaya Rajapaksa under mounting pressure.
"It's a Herculean task," Finance Minister Ali Sabry said in his first interview since taking office this week, referring to finding $3 billion in bridge financing as the country readies for negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this month. The country will look to restructure international sovereign bonds and seek a moratorium on payments, and is confident it can negotiate with bondholders over a $1 billion payment due in July.
"The entire effort is not to go for a hard default," Sabry said. "We understand the consequences of a hard default." J.P. Morgan analysts estimated this week that Sri Lanka's gross debt servicing would amount to $7 billion this year, with a current account deficit of around $3 billion.
The country has $12.55 billion in outstanding international sovereign bonds, central bank data showed, and foreign reserves of $1.93 billion at the end of March. "The first priority is to see that we get back to the normal supply channel in terms of fuel, gas, drugs... and thereby electricity so that the people's uprising can be addressed," Sabry said.
'SENSE OF CONFIDENCE' Anti-government protests have raged across the island for days, with at least one turning violent in the commercial capital of Colombo, in a threat to the country's lucrative tourism industry.
"We respect your right to protest, but no violence, because it is counterproductive," Sabry said. "Our tourism, which was beautifully coming back in February with 140,000 tourists coming in, has been severely affected ever since the demonstrations."
On Sunday thousands of protesters gathered near the president's seafront office in Colombo, making it one of the biggest shows of public outrage in recent days. A large contingent of police and at least one water cannon stood deployed near the site where several protesters held the country's national flag.
The protesters included dozens of Muslims who sat in the middle of a blockaded road to break their Ramadan fast and others who urged the president to step down with shouts of "Gota (Gotabaya) go home". Sabry said he will lead a delegation of Sri Lankan officials to Washington to start talks with the IMF on April 18 and that financial and legal advisers would be selected within 21 days to help the government restructure its international debt.
"Once we go to them, first thing is there is a sense of confidence in the entire international monetary community that we are serious," he said. "We are transparent, we are willing to engage." On Friday, a new central bank governor raised interest rates by an unprecedented 700 basis points in a bid to tame rocketing inflation and stabilise the economy.
Sri Lankan authorities will also reach out to rating agencies, Sabry said, as the country looks to regain access to international financial markets after being locked out due to multiple ratings downgrades since 2020. Sabry said the government will raise taxes and fuel prices within six months and seek to reform loss-making state-owned enterprises.
These measures were among key recommendations in an IMF review of Sri Lanka's economy released in early March. "These are very unpopular measures, but these are things we need to do for the country to come out of this," Sabry said. "The choice is do you do that or do you go down the drain permanently?"
'FRIEND OF ALL' Sri Lanka will seek another $500 million credit line from India for fuel, which would suffice for about five weeks, Sabry said.
The government would also look for support from the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank and bilateral partners including China, the United States, Britain and countries in the Middle East. "We know where we are, and the only thing is to fight back," Sabry said, looking relaxed in a blue T-shirt and jeans. "We have no choice."
Discussions are ongoing with China on a $1.5 billion credit line, a syndicated loan of up to $1 billion and a request from Sri Lanka's president in January to restructure some debt. "Hopefully we will be able to get some relief which would help ...until larger infusions come in," Sabry said.
Beijing and New Delhi have long jostled for influence over the island off India's southern tip, with the country pulling closer to China under the powerful Rajapaksa family. But in recent weeks, as the economic crisis deepened, Sri Lanka has leaned heavily on assistance from India.
"We are a neutral country. We are a friend of all," said Sabry, a lawyer who previously served as Sri Lanka's justice minister. "So we think that goodwill will come in handy at this point in time."

SII, Bharat Biotech cut COVID vaccine prices to Rs 225 per shot for pvt hospitals
In consultation with the Central Government, we have decided to revise the price of COVAXIN from Rs 1,200 to Rs 225 per dose, for privatehospitals. SII and Bharat Biotech have been major suppliers of COVID-19 vaccines to the government so far.
- Country:
- India
Vaccine majors Serum Institute of India (SII) and Bharat Biotech on Saturday said they have decided to cut prices of the precaution dose of their respective COVID-19 vaccines to Rs 225 per shot for private hospitals after discussion with the government.
''We are pleased to announce that after discussion with the central government, SII has decided to revise the price of COVISHIELD vaccine for private hospitals from Rs 600 to Rs 225 per dose,'' SII CEO Adar Poonawalla said in a tweet.
On Friday, the company had said that the precaution dose of its Covishield vaccine against COVID-19 will be priced at Rs 600 per shot for eligible individuals.
Bharat Biotech Co-Founder Joint Managing Director Suchitra Ella in a tweet said: ''We welcome the decision to make available precautionary dose for all adults. In consultation with the Central Government, we have decided to revise the price of #COVAXIN from Rs 1,200 to Rs 225 per dose, for #privatehospitals.'' SII and Bharat Biotech have been major suppliers of COVID-19 vaccines to the government so far. In a statement, Bharat Biotech requested the private hospitals to provide Covaxin at the revised rate effective April 10, 2022. The price differential with any existing stocks of Covaxin in private hospitals shall be compensated in the form of additional doses, it said.
The Hyderabad-based vaccine major stated that fresh stocks of the vaccine were available and ready for supplies.
''Bharat Biotech has more than 50 million doses of Covaxin readily available in vials, and over 200 million doses as drug substance. Additional production capacity is also available to meet product demand,'' it stated. The Union Health Ministry on Friday announced that those above the age of 18 years who have completed nine months after the administration of the second dose will be eligible for the precaution dose.
According to the health ministry, so far, about 96 per cent of all those above the age of 15 years in India have received at least one vaccine dose, while about 83 per cent have received both doses.
More than 2.4 crore precaution doses have also been administered to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those aged above 60 years. Besides, 45 per cent of beneficiaries in the 12-14 years age group have received the first dose, the ministry said.
The ongoing free COVID-19 inoculation programme through government vaccination centres for the first and the second dose to the eligible population as well as the precaution dose to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those above 60 years will be accelerated, the ministry stated.

Centre's decision on booster dose discriminatory, injustice to poor and rural people: Congress
The Congress on Saturday questioned the government for not allowing government hospitals to administer COVID-19 vaccine booster dose to all adults, alleging its absurd policy is discriminatory and a gross injustice to the poor and rural population of the country.Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said even small countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan are providing free booster doses to their people and alleged that the Centre was allowing profiteering by permitting the selling of booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines by private entities.

The Congress on Saturday questioned the government for not allowing government hospitals to administer COVID-19 vaccine booster dose to all adults, alleging its ''absurd policy'' is discriminatory and a ''gross injustice'' to the poor and rural population of the country.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said even small countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan are providing free booster doses to their people and alleged that the Centre was allowing profiteering by permitting the ''selling of booster dose'' of COVID-19 vaccines by private entities. The Union Health Ministry on Friday announced that people above the age of 18 years who have completed nine months after the administration of the second dose will be eligible for the precaution dose at private centres, which charge for the vaccines.
The Centre is continuing the free COVID-19 inoculation programme through government vaccination centres for the first and the second dose to the eligible population as well as the precaution dose to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those above 60 years.
''Why administer this booster dose only through private hospitals and have no option of getting it through government hospitals. Does it make sense? Is this a reasonable policy that government hospitals will not deal with this 18-60 years category,'' Singhvi asked.
He alleged that the private sector will earn crores of rupees at the cost of Indians who are already suffering due to high prices and inflation.
''The selling of booster dose vaccines for the 18-60 age group by private companies and entities has exposed the cruel, the cunning and the callous nature of the BJP government in the new policy announced now.
''The decision on privatisation of booster vaccine is bitter, brutal and barbarous. Unfortunately, the central feature of this new policy is discrimination by design,'' he said at a press conference, alleging that it will deprive the poor and rural population who do not have access to private hospitals.
He said, ''Let not this private profiteering continue unabated and let not 'jumlas' take the place of reality, otherwise this decision would be continued to be called socially unethical, morally corrupt and institutionally untenable''.
''Should the government be discharging its duty in this manner by transferring the buck? Is this fair. Is this segregation? Is it creating two Indias? Is it creating discrimination? What is the sense behind this absurd policy, after already the price levels at which we are standing,'' he asked.
Vaccine majors Serum Institute of India (SII) and Bharat Biotech on Saturday said they have decided to cut prices of the precaution dose of their respective COVID-19 vaccines to Rs 225 per shot for private hospitals after discussion with the government.
Covishield was earlier priced at Rs 600 and Coovaxin at Rs 1,200.

Agri exports spurt by 20 pc to USD 50 bn in FY22
- Country:
- India
India's agricultural exports rose by about 20 per cent to USD 50.21 billion during 2021-22 despite logistical challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commerce and Industry Ministry said on Saturday.
Exports of rice were the top forex earner at USD 9.65 billion among agri commodities during 2021-22, growing by 9.35 per cent from the previous year, it said in a statement.
Wheat exports jumped to USD 2.2 billion in 2021-22 against USD 567 million in the previous fiscal.
Shipments of dairy products grew by over 96 per cent to USD 634 million in 2021-22 from USD 323 million in 2020-21, while exports of bovine meat increased from USD 3.17 billion in 2020-21 to USD 3.30 billion in 2021-22.
Export of poultry products rose to USD 71 million in 2021-22 from USD 58 million in the previous year and sheep/goat meat exports were up by 34 per cent at USD 60 million in 2021-22.
Major export destinations include Bangladesh, the UAE, Vietnam, the US, Nepal, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iran and Egypt.
"The rise in export of agricultural and processed food products has been largely due to the various initiatives taken by the Centre through APEDA such as organizing B2B exhibitions in different countries, exploring new potential markets through product specific and general marketing campaigns by active involvement of Indian Embassies," it added.
"We have also created a product matrix for 50 agricultural products which have good scope for expanding our exports portfolios," said M Angamuthu, Chairman, APEDA.

Rajouri Day: Army’s ‘bike rally’ to cover 1,000 kms along LoC flagged off in Jammu
- Country:
- India
A bike rally to cover 1,000 kilometres along the Line of Control (LoC) was flagged off by the Army here on Saturday in connection with the ‘Rajouri Day’ celebrations, a defence spokesman said.
'Rajouri Day' is being celebrated on April 13 every year to commemorate the bravery and valour of the soldiers who laid down their lives for the liberation of Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district from rebels and the Pakistan Army personnel who had infiltrated from across the border in 1948.
Organised under the Ace of Spades Division of the Army, the bike rally is part of the Rajouri Day celebrations with 22 brave riders leaving Jammu to cover challenging mountainous ridges and traversing a total distance of 1,000 kms, the spokesman said.
He said the rally will culminate at Advance Landing Ground, Rajouri, on April 13, marking the commencement of the celebrations, which are likely to be attended by General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, north Command, Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi.
“The 22 brave riders will ride along the LoC to express solidarity with our armed forces guarding the frontiers besides paying homage at Khori Baba Temple, Brig Usman Memorial and Veer Badeshwar Temple en route,” the spokesman said.
He said the bikers will also spread the ‘Message of Peace and Harmony’ to further promote friendship, cultural bonding and brotherhood among the people of Rajouri.
The week-long celebrations in connection with ‘Rajouri Day’ started on Friday with an ex-serviceman and ‘Veer Nari’ Sammelan and a conclave which was attended by maximum sarpanches from different villages of Rajouri and Poonch district, the spokesman said.
Members of ‘Team Gramonnati’, a trust that aims to support rural transformation through technology and entrepreneurship along with other selected partners, had first-hand interaction with the sarpanches and educated them about various innovations and techniques that can be utilised for overall development of the region, he said.
As part of the celebrations, he said, a painting competition, attended by over 140 students and teachers of 14 different schools, was held at Valley View Army Public School Rajouri on Saturday with an aim to nurture and foster creativity and promote extra-curricular activities in the region.
A mini marathon is scheduled for Sunday followed by display of a plethora of Army equipment, the spokesman said, adding the youth of the Rajouri will be given an exposure of functioning and specifications of the various equipment of various arms, including artillery guns, Small arms, surveillance equipment, helicopters.
The spokesman said a kite festival is also planned for the day as a run up to the Rajouri Day celebration on Sunday. The event will be based on the themes of “Mera Bharat Mahan”, “Jawan Aur Awam”, “Beti Padhao Beti Bachao” and “Mera Desh Meri Shan”.
An artificial limb medical camp is being organised on April 11 to help the disabled with the treatment and distribution of wheelchairs, he said, adding a total of 40 disabled individuals will be assisted in amelioration of their problems.
On Monday, a women empowerment conclave is scheduled at the headquarters of Ace of Spades Division for the aspiring women of Rajouri in order to motivate them and to make them aware about various schemes by which they can be benefitted to shape their future.
The gathering will be addressed by the local women achievers from the region, the spokesman said.
He said a light and sound show is being organised for the public at Dhanidhar fort on April 12, 14 and 15.
“This event is aimed to make local people especially the youth aware about the glorious history of the Army and to inculcate a sense of patriotism among them.” PTI TAS TAS AQS AQS

Make progressive films benefitting society: TN CM urges film makers
Considering that many youngsters are influenced by watching movies, film makers should make films that are progressive in nature and benefit the society, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Saturday.The film industry should not only provide entertainment but also raise the bar and qualify themselves by promoting food for thought among the people, Stalin said after inaugurating the Dakshin - South Media and Entertainment Summit -- organised by Confederation of Indian Industry CII here.Movies should be identified based on their quality content.

Considering that many youngsters are influenced by watching movies, film makers should make films that are progressive in nature and benefit the society, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Saturday.
The film industry should not only provide entertainment but also raise the bar and qualify themselves by promoting 'food for thought' among the people, Stalin said after inaugurating the Dakshin - South Media and Entertainment Summit -- organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.
''Movies should be identified based on their quality content. The conduct of film festivals enhances the entertainment industry as an art and encourages business promotion. By holding awards ceremonies, film personalities are honoured and skilled people are respected,'' he said.
Appealing to the people gathered to consider him as one among them, the chief minister said his association with the film industry dates back to when he was one of the film producers.
''Even I had acted in quite a few films by doing small roles. I have come here to take part as one among you. Even in my autobiography 'Ungalil Oruvan', I have mentioned that DMK and the film industry cannot be separated and in the same way my family and tinsel town cannot be separated,'' he said.
''This tradition has been dating back from my (late) father's (M Karunanidhi) days and even now it continues with my son Udhayanidhi (who is an actor-turned-politician),'' he said.
With COVID-19 pandemic easing out, all the industries are resuming normal operations and it is happy to note that the film industry too is bouncing back, he said.
The chief minister also pointed out that the conduct of such an event in Chennai was 'apt' as the metro city holds a significant place in the Indian film industry. ''Southern film industry has been a major contributor to the Indian cinema and film technicians from the city are respected across the country,'' he said.
Film makers should create films in such a way that the story, dialogue, direction are in sync based on the current trends and only then the film industry can continue to be a popular entertainment destination, he said.
Referring to the disclaimers shown in theatres ahead of the start of a film on smoking and drinking, he said in the same way disclaimers should be shown on consumption of 'gutkha and ganja' as they were largely impacting the younger generation.
On the occasion, Stalin released a report 'Regional is the New National -- Way Forward'.
CII Southern Region Chairperson Suchitra K Ella said films from southern parts of the country contribute 30 percent of the country's overall media and entertainment revenues.
''The media and entertainment industry offer tremendous opportunities to excel in almost every vertical and the industry has bounced back to pre-COVID levels making the Indian media and entertainment industry grow at a much faster rate compared to the global average,'' she said.
South India contributes close to 30 per cent of media and entertainment revenue with over 50 per cent of the films produced every year in India from the southern region, she said.

Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday conferred degrees to the students of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU) during the first convocation ceremony, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said. Addressing the students, the Chief Minister congratulated students for getting degrees from the premier institutes and said the state government is committed to stop the brain drain from Punjab by creating new opportunities so that the youth should not go to foreign shores in pursuit of their dreams.
He said it would be the other way round when people from foreign countries shall flock to Punjab to work here, the release read. The Chief Minister said that this is the era of technical education and therefore the current education needs to be in sync with the employment opportunities available.
Seeking some time to create an industry-friendly environment in the state to provide employment in the state itself, he appealed to youngsters to serve their own motherland, it said in a press release. Mann also appealed to the parents to give freedom to their children, especially girls to excel in the field of their choices. He said parents should stop spoon-feeding their children and should rather strengthen their skills by providing them with an open environment to prove themselves.
Purohit delivering the convocation address said that technologists are problem solvers who search for quicker, better and less expensive ways to meet tough challenges and varieties like MRSPTU gear up the technologists to fulfil these challenges. He called upon young technologists that instead of looking for job opportunities, they should be job creators adding that through start-ups and entrepreneurship they can create enterprises, which will create wealth for the nation, society and people.
Purohit called upon the MRSPTU to take a lead in creating an eco-system for entrepreneurship and innovation amongst its constituent colleges and hoped that setting up of innovation and incubation centres in on its radar. Mann conferred degrees and gold medals to the Post Graduate students of the University whereas Vikas Garg Chairman Board of Studies of the University gave degrees to graduates.
Purohit and Mann also inaugurated 75 online certificate courses in emerging technologies started by the MRSPTU. (ANI)

President Raisi says Iran will not retreat from 'nuclear rights'
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Saturday Tehran would not give up its right to develop its nuclear industry for peaceful purposes, and all parties involved in talks to revive the 2015 nuclear accord should respect this. Eleven months of indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Vienna have stalled as both sides say political decisions are required by Tehran and Washington to settle the remaining issues.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Saturday Tehran would not give up its right to develop its nuclear industry for peaceful purposes, and all parties involved in talks to revive the 2015 nuclear accord should respect this.
Eleven months of indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Vienna have stalled as both sides say political decisions are required by Tehran and Washington to settle the remaining issues. "For more than the one-hundredth time, our message from Tehran to Vienna is that we will not back off from the Iranian people's nuclear rights... not even an iota," state media quoted Raisi as saying in a speech marking Iran's Nuclear Technology Day.
Raisi reiterated Iran’s stand that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes. The United States is considering removing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from its foreign terrorist organizations (FTO) blacklist in return for Iranian assurances about reining in the elite force, Iranian and Western sources had told Reuters.
One Iranian diplomat told Reuters that Tehran had rejected a U.S. proposal to overcome the sticking point by keeping the IRGC’s overseas arm, the Quds Force, under FTO sanctions, while delisting the IRGC as an entity. The IRGC is a powerful faction in Iran that controls a business empire as well as elite armed and intelligence forces that Washington accuses of carrying out a global terrorist campaign.

Explainer: What to do with closed nuke plant's wastewater?
Holtec is also considering evaporating the contaminated water or trucking it to a facility in another state.The fight in Massachusetts mirrors a current, heated debate in Japan over a plan to release more than 1 million tons of treated radioactive wastewater into the ocean from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant in spring 2023.
- Country:
- Japan
One million gallons of radioactive water is inside a former nuclear power plant along Cape Cod Bay and it has got to go.
But where, is the vexing question, and will the state intervene as the company dismantling the plant decides? Holtec International is considering treating the water and discharging it into the bay, drawing fierce resistance from local residents, shell fishermen and politicians. Holtec is also considering evaporating the contaminated water or trucking it to a facility in another state.
The fight in Massachusetts mirrors a current, heated debate in Japan over a plan to release more than 1 million tons of treated radioactive wastewater into the ocean from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant in spring 2023. A massive tsunami in 2011 crashed into the plant. Three reactors melted down.
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, Massachusetts, closed in 2019 after nearly half a century providing electricity to the region. US Rep. William Keating, a Democrat whose district includes the Cape, wrote to Holtec with other top Massachusetts lawmakers in January to oppose releasing water into Cape Cod Bay. He asked the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to examine its regulations.
Keating said in late March that Holtec's handling of the radioactive water could set a precedent because the US decommissioning industry is in its infancy. Most US nuclear plants were built between 1970 and 1990.
“If they're listening, sensitive and work with these communities, it's important,” he said. “That's the message for future decommissioning sites.” Holtec has acquired closed nuclear plants across the country as part of its dismantling business, including the former Oyster Creek Generating Station in New Jersey and Indian Point Energy Center in New York. It's taking ownership of the Palisades Nuclear Plant on Lake Michigan, which is closing this year.
Pilgrim was a boiling water reactor. Water constantly circulated through the reactor vessel and nuclear fuel, converting it to steam to spin the turbine. The water was cooled and recirculated, picking up radioactive contamination.
Cape Cod is a tourist hotspot. Having radioactive water in the bay, even low levels, isn't great for marketing, said Democratic state Rep. Josh Cutler, who represents a district there. Cutler is working to pass legislation to prohibit discharging radioactive material into coastal or inland waters.
Holtec said Pilgrim already discharged water into the bay for 50 years while the plant was operating and environmental studies, conducted by the plant operators and now Holtec, have shown little or no environmental impact. Radiological environmental reports are shared with the NRC annually.
“We are working to provide scientific data, educate the public on the reality of radiation in everyday life, and working to have experts explain the true science versus the emotional fear of the unknown,” spokesperson Patrick O'Brien wrote in an email in March.
What are holtec's options? Holtec could treat the water and discharge it in batches over multiple years, likely the least expensive option. Or, it could evaporate the water on site, as it says it has done with about 680,000 gallons (2,600 kiloliters) over the past two years.
Evaporating the water would be more challenging to do now because the spent nuclear fuel is in storage, and couldn't be used as a heat source. Holtec would have to use a different — likely more expensive — method that would release gas.
Or, Holtec could truck the water to an out-of-state facility, where it could be mixed with clay and buried or placed in an evaporation pond, or released into local waterways. That's what Keating wants.
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, another boiling water reactor, was shut down in Vernon, Vermont, in 2014. It's sending wastewater to disposal specialists in Texas and other states. Entergy operated and sold both Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim. NorthStar, a separate and competing corporation in the decommissioning business, is dismantling Vermont Yankee.
Nuclear plants occasionally need to dispose of water with low levels of radioactivity when they're operating, so a process to release it in batches into local waterways was developed early in the nuclear industry.
In recent years at Pilgrim, the two largest releases were in 2011, with 29 releases totaling about 325,000 gallons (1,500 kiloliters), and 2013, with 21 releases totaling about 310,000 gallons.
The water from those releases was well below the federal limits for the amount of radionuclides in millirems a person would be exposed to in a year if they ate local seafood or swam in nearby waters, according to the NRC.
NRC spokesperson for the Northeast Neil Sheehan said the limits are set very conservatively and are believed to be protective of the public and environment. He said it's important to consider the role of dilution — once the discharges mix with vast quantities of water any radioactivity is typically not detectable.
Why are people worried ? In Duxbury, Kingston and Plymouth Bays, there are 50 oyster farms — the largest concentration in the state, worth USD 5.1 million last year, according to the Massachusetts Seafood Collaborative. The collaborative said dumping the water would devastate the industry, and the local economy along with it.
Diane Turco, a Harwich resident and longtime Pilgrim watchdog, fears the water is heavily contaminated, especially from the pool that covered the stored, spent fuel for cooling and shielded workers from radiation.
“Isn't this a crazy idea for Holtec to use our bay as their dump? No way,” she said.
Others didn't know Pilgrim's water went into the bay in previous years and they don't want it to happen again.
“We can't change that, but we can change what's happening in the future,” said Cutler, the state lawmaker. “It's the first time it has ever been decommissioned, so to compare this to the past is a convenient excuse. Well, we did it in the past,' that sounds like my kid.” Towns on the Cape are trying to prohibit the dispersal of radioactive materials in their waters. Tribal leaders, fishermen, lobstermen and real estate agents have publicly stated their opposition as well.
Sheehan, the NRC spokesperson, said the water is not different or distinct, compared to water released during the plant's operations. Holtec would have to handle it the same way, by filtering it, putting it into a tank, analyzing the radio isotopes and calculating the environmental impacts if it was released in batches, he added.
Who gets the final say? Holtec wouldn't need a separate approval from the NRC to discharge the water into the bay. However, Holtec would need permission from the US Environmental Protection Agency if the water contained pollutants regulated by the Clean Water Act, such as dissolved metals.
If the water contained only radioactive materials regulated by the NRC, Holtec wouldn't need to ask the EPA for a permit modification, according to the EPA's water division for New England. Holtec has never given the EPA a pollutant characterization of the water associated with decommissioning, the division's director said.
Mary Lampert, of Duxbury, is on a panel created by the state to look at issues related to the Pilgrim's decommissioning. She believes the state could use its existing laws and regulations to stop the dumping and plans to press the Massachusetts attorney general to file a preliminary injunction to do so.
The attorney general's office said it's monitoring the issue and would take any Clean Water Act violations seriously.
Holtec said this week it's examining the water for possible pollutants but the lab results won't be available for awhile.
The company expects to decide what to do with the water later this year. Discharge, evaporation and some limited transportation will likely all be part of the solution, Holtec added.

The Governor said, "On this festive occasion, let us dedicate ourselves to the values of truth, purity, honesty, humility and righteousness. Let the celebrations this year be marked by adherence to safety protocols." May the celebrations of Ram Navami, this year, bring renewed peace, prosperity and happiness to one and all, he concluded.
Ram Navami is celebrated all over India every year on the last day of Chaitra Navaratri to mark the birth of Lord Rama. On this auspicious day, young girls, representing the nine forms of the goddess Durga, are offered gifts and Prasad (sweet). (ANI)

LONDON (AP) — At Sophia Sutton-Jones' bakery in North London, the electricity bill has more than tripled since the start of the year. It now costs 5,500 pounds ($6,260) a month to power the ovens and keep the lights on at Sourdough Sophia.
“Where should I magically take 4,000 pounds per month extra that I didn’t calculate for?” she said. To cope with rising costs, she's had to borrow 50,000 pounds and raise prices twice this year for her loaves, baguettes and pretzels.
She doubts that even a massive support package announced this week by the U.K. government will make much difference to businesses like hers struggling with soaring energy costs.
Pubs, restaurants, breweries, retailers and other businesses across the United Kingdom are being pushed to the brink by skyrocketing energy bills that have helped send inflation to a four-decade high and fuel a cost-of-living crisis.
Forced to take action by cost increases that threaten to tip the British economy into recession, new Prime Minister Liz Truss’ government released details Wednesday that wholesale energy bills for businesses will be capped this winter.
The government will pick up some of the tab for six months starting Oct. 1 so businesses pay discounted rates that are “less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter.”
It's also capping household energy bills and expected to detail more economic intervention Friday.
Energy price increases were stoked first by the global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which sent fuel demand soaring, and then by aftershocks of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The U.K. gets only a fraction of its gas from Russia, but it's more vulnerable to volatile spot market prices because it has less nuclear and renewable energy and little gas storage capacity.
The support package “will hopefully reduce the immediate risk of business collapse and job losses,” said Jamie Stewart, deputy director of the University of Strathclyde’s Centre for Energy Policy. “It should also limit the need for businesses to pass on costs through putting up prices on their goods and services and compounding already acute cost-of-living pressures.”
Business groups generally welcomed the announcement, but some raised concerns about whether the aid would end abruptly after six months. The government said it would hold a review after three months.
Business owners like Sutton-Jones complained that relief has been too slow to arrive.
“There is no backdating, so essentially we cannot benefit fully from the support package, and many employers will be forced to shut,” she said. “What happens to the huge debt many businesses have already racked up?”
The Federation of Small Businesses shared the concern and urged a hardship fund for companies that fall through the cracks.
The British Beer and Pub Association called the energy support “a lifeline for many pubs and brewers this winter.”
Britain’s famed pubs barely had time to recover from the pandemic before getting hit with supply chain problems, labor shortages and across-the-board price increases that, combined with sky-high energy bills, has "for many businesses, more than wiped out their total net income,” seven pub, brewing and hospitality groups said last week in a letter to the U.K. finance chief.
At the King’s Head pub in northern England, rising electricity prices forced manager Cherylanne Lowther to stop serving food on some days because it’s too costly to operate the kitchen’s energy-guzzling oven, double boiler, three deep fryers and dishwasher.
She said her latest electric bill jumped to 800 pounds a month from the usual 500 and had been set to double to 1,600 pounds.
Even if the new government support keeps her bill at the previous level, “I couldn’t afford the 800," Lowther said.
As winter approaches, she also is bracing for higher heating oil costs, saying kerosene for the pub's outdated heating system “costs a fortune at the moment.”
On top of that, she has a contract with a brewing company that is raising alcohol prices just as customers in the village of Cockfield, saddled with their own rising costs, are staying home more often.
On some recent nights, she’s turned a profit of just 20 pounds.
Since she started running the pub 10 months ago, she’s burned through the reserve funds and now “there’s no money left to pay anything,” Lowther said.
“All the time I’ve been in the pub, I’ve never been able to take a wage,” said Lowther, who worries about going into debt.
Even a bigger pub operator, London-based chain Fuller, Smith and Turner Plc, said this week that energy costs for its 385 pubs have risen to “unprecedented levels."
Without factoring in the U.K. government's support measures, Fuller's expects to spend 18 million pounds on gas and electricity this year, up from 8 million last year.
Small manufacturers are under pressure, too.
Exeter Charcoal has been forced to hike the price of its small mobile “retorts” — devices used to make charcoal by heating wood — by 3,000 pounds, to 17,450 pounds. Metal for the machines is cut with a precision laser by a nearby engineering firm.
“We’ve just taken a massive hit on the laser-cutting costs,” company director Robin Rawle said. The engineering firm’s “energy costs are going through the roof.”
Buyers include woodland owners, schools and local governments that have extra timber they can turn into charcoal to sell. But alongside rising labor and raw material costs, “the whole thing is getting beyond what most of our customers can afford,” Rawle said.
The company would be able to weather the crisis by making a smaller, cheaper version that's proved popular, he said.
But Rawle worried that the government's plan was fiscally irresponsible. Officials haven't detailed how much the support package will cost, but it's expected to be many billions of pounds.
“What Liz Truss is planning is, I find, particularly scary," Rawle said. "The amount of money involved — all we’re doing is building up debt. And as a businessperson, you can’t really spend money you don’t have.” | https://www.theheraldreview.com/business/article/UK-businesses-laud-energy-relief-but-costs-still-17458654.php | 2022-09-22T06:41:35 | en | 0.969068 |

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Nabila works 10 hours or more a day, doing the heavy, dirty labor of packing mud into molds and hauling wheelbarrows full of bricks. At 12 years old, she’s been working in brick factories half her life now, and she’s probably the oldest of all her co-workers.
Already high, the number of children put to work in Afghanistan is growing, fueled by the collapse of the economy after the Taliban took over the country and the world cut off financial aid just over a year ago.
A recent survey by Save the Children estimated that half the country’s families have put children to work to keep food on the table as livelihoods crumbled.
Nowhere is it clearer than in the many brick factories on the highway north out of the capital, Kabul. Conditions in the furnaces are tough even for adults. But in almost all of them, children as young as four or five are found laboring alongside their families from early in the morning until dark in the heat of summer.
Children are doing every step of the brickmaking process. They haul cannisters of water, carry the wooden brick molds full of mud to set them out in the sun to dry. They load and push wheelbarrows full of dried bricks to the kiln for firing, then push back wheelbarrows full of fired bricks. They pick through the smoldering charcoal that’s been burned in the kiln for pieces that can still be used, inhaling the soot and singeing their fingers.
The kids work with a determination born out of knowing little else but their families’ need. When asked about toys or play, they smile and shrug. Only a few have been to school.
Nabila, the 12-year-old, has been working in brick factories since she was five or six. Like many other brick workers, her family works part of the year at a kiln near Kabul, the other part at a one outside Jalalabad, near the Pakistani border.
A few years ago, she got to go to school a little in Jalalabad. She’d like to go back to school but can’t — her family needs her work to survive, she said with a soft smile.
“We can’t think about anything else but work,” she said.
Mohabbat, a 9-year-old boy, stopped for a moment with a pained expression as he carried a load of charcoal. “My back hurts,” he said.
Asked what he wished for, he first asked, “What is a wish?” Then once it was explained, he was quiet a moment, thinking. “I wish to go to school and eat good food,” he said, then added: “I wish to work well so that we can have a house.”
The landscape around the factories is bleak and barren, with the kilns’ smokestacks pumping out black, sooty smoke. Families live in dilapidated mud houses next to furnaces, each with a corner where they make their bricks. For most, a day’s meal is bread soaked in tea.
Rahim has three children working with him at a brick kiln, ranging in age from 5 to 12. The kids had been in school, and Rahim, who goes by one name, said he had long resisted putting them to work. But even before the Taliban came to power, as the war went on and the economy worsened, he said he had no choice.
“There’s no other way,” he said. “How can they study when we don’t have bread to eat? Survival is more important.”
Workers get the equivalent of $4 for every 1,000 bricks they make. One adult working alone can’t do that amount in a day, but if the children help, they can make 1,500 bricks a day, workers said.
According to surveys done by Save the Children, the percentage of families saying they had a child working outside the home grew from 18% to 22% from December to June. That would suggest more than 1 million children nationwide were working. The surveys covered more than 1,400 children and more than 1,400 caregivers in seven provinces. Another 22% of the children said they were asked to work on the family business or farm.
The survey also pointed to the collapse in livelihoods that Afghans have endured the past year. In June, 77% of the surveyed families reported they had lost half their income or more, compared to a year ago, up from 61% in December.
On one recent day at one of the kilns, a light rain started, and at first the kids were cheerful, thinking it would be a refreshing drizzle in the heat. Then the wind kicked up. A blast of dust hit them, coating their faces. The air turned yellow with dust. Some of the children couldn’t open their eyes, but they kept working. The rain opened up into a downpour.
The kids were soaked. One boy had water and mud pouring off of him, but like the others he said he couldn’t take shelter without finishing his work. Streams from the driving rain carved out trenches in the dirt around them.
“We’re used to it,” he said. Then he told another boy, “Hurry up, let’s finish it.” | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/AP-PHOTOS-Backbreaking-work-for-kids-in-Afghan-17458639.php | 2022-09-22T06:41:41 | en | 0.982799 |

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets followed Wall Street lower on Thursday after the Federal Reserve delivered another big interest rate hike and raised its outlook for more to cool galloping inflation.
Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney declined. Oil prices edged higher.
The dollar rose to nearly 145 Japanese yen after the Bank of Japan opted to keep its ultra-lax monetary policy unchanged, with its benchmark interest rate at minus 0.1%. Japan's central bank has maintained such a policy for years, trying to stimulate business activity and counter deflation.
By mid-afternoon, the dollar was at 144.94 yen, up from 143.46 yen late Wednesday. The euro fell to 98.29 cents from 99.09 cents.
Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index fell 1.7% on Wednesday to a two-month low after the Fed raised its benchmark lending rate by 0.75 percentage points, three times its usual margin. The Fed said it expects that rate to be a full percentage point higher by year's end than it did three months ago.
“The Fed still managed to out-hawk the markets,” Anna Stupnytska of Fidelity International said in a report. “Economic strength and a hot labor market point to a limited trade-off — at least for the time being — between growth and inflation.”
The Shanghai Composite Index sank 0.3% to 3,108.43 and the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo slid 0.6% to 27,153.83. Hong Kong's Hang Seng tumbled 1.7% to 18,134.45.
South Korea's Kospi sank 0.7% to 2,331.76 and India's Sensex opened down 0.4% at 59,456.78.
New Zealand edged up less than 0.1% while Southeast Asian markets declined.
The Fed and central banks in Europe and Asia are raising rates to slow economic growth and cool inflation that is at multi-decade highs.
Traders worry they might derail global economic growth. Fed officials acknowledge the possibility such aggressive rate hikes might bring on a recession but say inflation must be brought under control. They point to a relatively strong U.S. job market as evidence the economy can tolerate higher borrowing costs.
“The Fed’s new economic projections highlight it will tolerate a recession to bring inflation down,” said Gregory Daco of EY Parthenon in a report.
The yield on the 2-year Treasury, or the difference between the market price and the payout if held to maturity, rose to 4.02% from 3.97% late Tuesday. It was trading at its highest level since 2007.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, fell to 3.52% from 3.56% late Tuesday.
The S&P 500 fell to 3,789.93. The Dow fell 1.7% to 30,183.78, and the Nasdaq composite lost 1.8% to 11,220.19.
The major Wall Street indexes are on pace for their fifth weekly loss in six weeks.
Fed chair Jerome Powell stressed his resolve to lift rates high enough to drive inflation back toward the central bank’s 2% goal. Powell said the Fed has just started to get to that level with this most recent increase.
The central bank's latest rate hike lifted its benchmark rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 3% to 3.25%, the highest level in 14 years, and up from zero at the start of the year.
The Fed released a forecast known as a “dot plot” that showed it expects its benchmark rate to be 4.4% by year’s end, a full point higher than envisioned in June.
U.S. consumer prices rose 8.3% in August. That was down from July's 9.1% peak, but core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices to give a clearer picture of the trend, rose to 0.6% over the previous month, up from July’s 0.3% increase.
Central bankers in Britain, Switzerland and Norway are due to report on whether they also will raise rates again. Sweden surprised economists this week with a full-point hike.
The global economy also has been roiled by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which pushed up prices of oil, wheat and other commodities.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude gained 19 cents to $83.13 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1 to $82.94 on Wednesday. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, advanced 20 cents to $90.03 per barrel in London. It lost 79 cents the previous session to $89.83. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Asia-stocks-follow-Wall-Street-down-as-Fed-fights-17458626.php | 2022-09-22T06:41:47 | en | 0.957297 |

LONDON (AP) — On a blustery November day last year Britain's future king stood before world leaders to deliver a rallying cry that they should "act with all despatch, and decisively” to confront a common enemy.
The clarion call — in the vast, windowless hall of a Glasgow convention center at the opening of the U.N. climate conference — concerned an issue long dear to the heart of the then-Prince Charles.
Climate change and loss of biodiversity were no different from the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe, he said. “In fact, they pose an even greater existential threat, to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing.”
He warned leaders that time was running out to reduce emissions, urging them to push through reforms that are “radically transforming our current fossil fuel-based economy to one that is genuinely renewable and sustainable.”
“We need a vast military-style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector," he said, adding that the trillions at businesses' disposal would go far beyond what governments could muster and offered "the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition.”
It was a fierce call to arms quite unlike the gentle appeal delivered by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in a video message that evening.
For decades, Charles has been one of Britain's most prominent environmental voices, blasting the ills of pollution. Now that he’s monarch, he is bound to be more careful with his words and must stay out of politics and government policy in accordance with the traditions of Britain’s constitutional monarchy.
“Charles will have very little freedom of maneuver now that he is King," said Robert Hazell, an expert on British constitutional affairs at University College London.
“All of his speeches are written or vetted by the government,” said Hazell. "If he makes an impromptu remark which seems at odds with government policy, the press will pounce on him to point out the inconsistency, and the government will rein him in; he will have to be far less outspoken than he has been in the past.”
Still, many say it’s unlikely he will abruptly stop discussing climate change and the environment – not least because they are issues that are above political ideology.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said last week that it would be “perfectly acceptable” for the monarch to advocate for climate action, even though his role is meant to be apolitical.
“It’s important that the monarchy distance from party political issues,” Albanese told Australian Broadcasting Corp. “But there are issues like climate change where I think if he chooses to continue to make statements in that area, I think that is perfectly acceptable.”
“It should be something that’s above politics, the need to act on climate change,” he added.
Keeping mum on climate may be particularly tricky for Charles in light of the current Conservative government’s ambivalent stance. While the government says it remains committed to the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to ‘net zero’ by mid-century, Energy Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg says Britain should keep burning the fossil fuels at its disposal.
“We need to be thinking about extracting every last cubic inch of gas from the North Sea,” he said in a recent radio interview, citing the need for energy security.
In the past Rees-Mogg has spoken out against building more on-shore wind farms in Britain and questioned the effect that rising carbon dioxide emissions are having on the climate, even though experts say the warming effects of increasing CO2 levels are clear.
Britain’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss likewise favors exploiting the country’s natural gas reserves, including by exploring fracking in parts of the UK to boost the country’s domestic gas supplies and reduce dependence on international gas prices. Earlier this month, Truss’s government lifted a 2019 ban on the controversial practice of fracking for shale gas in England.
As environment secretary in 2014, Truss called large-scale solar farms “a blight on the landscape” scrapped subsidies for farmers and landowners to build them.
Speaking in a 2018 BBC documentary marking Charles’ 70th birthday, his sons William and Harry revealed the frustration their father feels at the world’s failure to tackle environmental challenges. They recalled how, as teenagers, Charles would make them go litter picking during the holidays and obsess over the need to turn off lights.
Such small actions pale in comparison to the air miles the monarch has racked up over a lifetime of jetting around the world — though he claims to have converted his Aston Martin to run on surplus white wine and cheese.
Charles’ lament that many people “simply pay no attention to science” on climate change has also been called out by those who point out that he has long been an advocate of unproven naturopathic therapies.
Some of Charles’ subjects want him to continue the fight against climate change, even as king.
Yet the new king himself has acknowledged that his role as eco-warrior cannot last, at least in its current form.
"I’m not that stupid," he told the BBC four years ago on being asked whether he would continue his activism as before.
The battles of a prince are not those of a king, he explained, but made clear that they can still be fought by the next in line, Prince William.
In his first address as sovereign to the nation on Sept. 9, Charles emphasized that, saying “it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.”
“But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others,” he added.
Like Charles, William, 40, has made climate change one of his main advocacy topics, and last year he made his mark by awarding the first Earthshot Prize, an ambitious “legacy project” the prince founded to award millions of pounds in grants for environmental initiatives around the world over the next 10 years. His efforts, however, have been undermined by criticism that his conservation charity invested in a bank that is one of the world’s biggest backers of fossil fuels.

BEIJING (AP) — A former Chinese justice minister was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on charges of taking bribes and helping criminals including his brother hide illegal activity, state TV reported Thursday.
Fu Zhenghua’s conviction adds to a string of senior officials who have been punished for corruption in a long-running crackdown launched after President Xi Jinping took power in late 2012.
Fu, 67, pleaded guilty to abusing his powers in roles including minister and chief of police for the Chinese capital, Beijing, in 2005-21 to hide crimes by his brother and others, China Central Television said on its website.
In return, Fu received money and property amounting to 117 million yuan ($16.5 million), the official China Daily newspaper reported in July. Thursday's report and earlier news accounts gave no details of what Fu’s brother, Fu Weihua, was accused of doing.
Death sentences with a reprieve usually are commuted to long prison terms if the convict is deemed to have reformed.
Fu will be sentenced to life in prison without parole if his sentence is commuted, CCTV said. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Former-Chinese-justice-minister-jailed-for-17458624.php | 2022-09-22T06:41:59 | en | 0.983777 |

DETROIT (AP) — Some Hyundai and Kia cars and SUVs are missing a “key” anti-theft device, and thieves know.
An insurance industry group says these cars are stolen at nearly twice the rate of the rest of the auto industry because their keys lack computer chips for theft “immobilizer” systems.
The thefts apparently started in the Milwaukee area two years ago and spread to multiple Midwest cities and as far away as Colorado and New Mexico after instructional videos appeared on social media.
The Highway Loss Data Institute, a unit of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, found that Hyundais and Kias without immobilizers had a vehicle theft claim rate of 2.18 per 1,000 insured vehicle years. The rest of the industry combined had a rate of 1.21. An insured vehicle year is equal to one vehicle insured for one year.
The institute, which issued its findings on Thursday, compared vehicles from the 2015 through 2019 model years. It studied vehicle theft claims from 2021.
Chip keys, which started to show up in the 1990s, communicate with another chip in the ignition switch. If they match, the engines will start. If they don't match, a thief can't start the engine.
Keys don’t have an immobilizer system in several lower-priced versions of vehicles from the two South Korean automakers such as the Kia Rio and Sportage and the Hyundai Accent, the institute said.
“Our earlier studies show that vehicle theft losses plunged after immobilizers were introduced,” said Matt Moore, senior vice president of the institute. “Unfortunately, Hyundai and Kia have lagged behind other automakers in making them standard equipment.”
In the 2015 model year, immobilizers were standard on 96% of other manufacturers' models, the institute said. But they were standard on only 26% of Hyundai and Kia models. The carmakers haven't explained their decision to not include immobilizers on some models.
Videos show thieves prying the ignition cover off the Hyundai and Kia vehicles, then using a screwdriver or USB cable to start them and drive away.
Last year in Milwaukee, 66% of the 10,476 stolen vehicles were Hyundais or Kias, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper. The number of thefts has slowed in the city so far this year. Through Sept. 12, 6,048 vehicles were taken, but 58% of them were Hyundais or Kias, Milwaukee police said Thursday.
One 17-year-old theft suspect in a viral video about Kia thefts was arrested after police used the video and an anonymous tip to track him down, the Journal Sentinel reported. He could face up to 22 years in prison.
Hyundai and Kia both conceded in statements that thieves are stealing some of their vehicles and said they meet federal safety standards. “It is unfortunate that criminals are using social media to target vehicles without engine immobilizers in a coordinated effort,” Kia said.
All 2022 Kias got immobilizers either at the start of or during the model year. Hyundai said all models produced after Nov. 1, 2021 have immobilizers as standard equipment.
Kia says it's working to provide steering wheel locks at no cost to authorities in affected areas to deter thefts. Hyundai said it's also providing the locks to police, and that in October, it will start selling a security kit that targets the thieves' methods.
The institute's Moore said the vulnerable Hyundais and Kias rank among the 20 most popular vehicles with thieves, a distinction normally reserved for high-powered or expensive vehicles, or pickup trucks. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat had the highest rate of theft claims.
Many of the vulnerable Hyundais and Kias are often bought by lower-income people. “These are relatively inexpensive vehicles when purchased new,” Moore said. Owners of some of the models may have dropped comprehensive insurance to save money, and may have had to replace the cars on their own, he said.
To help prevent theft, owners should roll up windows, lock doors and take the key or fob with them, the National Insurance Crime Bureau says. They should park in well-lighted areas or a garage. If they have to park outdoors, owners should consider installing motion-sensor lights. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Thieves-key-on-hack-that-leaves-Hyundai-Kia-cars-17458530.php | 2022-09-22T06:42:05 | en | 0.967334 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Madison Bumgarner tossed six innings of one-hit ball, giving the former World Series MVP his first win in nearly two months, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Bumgarner (7-15) beat the Dodgers for the first time as a Diamondback and the first time since Sept. 23, 2017, when he was with San Francisco.
The left-hander retired the first nine batters and 13 of the first 14 he faced in his 40th career start against the Dodgers. He gave up one run, struck out five and walked one in his first victory since July 23 against Washington.
Bumgarner allowed just two baserunners.
Corbin Carroll doubled in three runs and Christian Walker drove in two more for Arizona, which also led 5-1 on Monday only to have the Dodgers rally in the eighth and win 6-5.
This time, the Dodgers had no comeback in them.
Carson Kelly doubled leading off the fourth. Geraldo Peromo singled and Dustin May (2-3) hit Daulton Varsho to load the bases. That set up Carroll, who doubled to deep left. Varsho nearly caught Peromo as they raced around third base giving Arizona a 5-0 lead.
The D-backs extended their lead to 6-1 on Emmanuel Rivera's sacrifice fly in the seventh. Jake McCarthy scored after getting hit by a pitch, taking second on Walker's groundout and going to third on Tommy Kahnle's wild pitch.
Walker drove in Arizona’s first two runs in similar fashion, giving him 86 RBIs on the season. He had a broken-bat single on a 99-mph pitch from May in the first and another single in the third. Both of Walker’s hits to the same spot came with two outs and scored runners who got on via walks.
Mookie Betts snapped an 0-for-10 skid with his 35th homer in the fourth for the Dodgers.
Trea Turner ran out a slow roller to third base off Mark Melancon for the Dodgers’ second hit of the game in the ninth, extending his hitting streak to 18 games. Freddie Freeman followed with a single for the third hit before Arizona's defense closed out the win with a double play.
May struggled throughout his sixth start since coming back from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander gave up five runs and a season-high seven hits in a season-low four innings. He struck out four and walked two. May threw twice as many pitches as Bumgarner through the first three innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Diamondbacks: Placed RHP Ryne Nelson on 15-day IL with right scapula inflammation.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former NCAA singles champions Mackenzie McDonald and Marcos Giron won their matches Wednesday at the San Diego Open ATP 250.
McDonald beat error-prone Henri Laaksonen of Switzerland 6-0, 6-2 in just 54 minutes.
Third-seeded Giron moved into the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry. The world No. 58 converted four of six break-point opportunities and finished with 30 winners to 17 unforced errors.
McDonald, who swept the NCAA singles and doubles titles at UCLA in 2016, earned a rematch in the second round against Jenson Brooksby.
“I’m happy with how I’m playing. I love being in California,” McDonald said. “Henri’s a great player. I just think I took it to him today, played my game.”
Giron advances to face Australia’s James Duckworth.
“I'm pumped to get through this one," Giron said. "This is my first time being seeded, so it’s interesting coming into a tournament not having played a first-round match. But I’ve been playing well the last month. Tomas is top 100 in the world for a reason.
“Playing in Southern California, it really is home to me,” he added. “It’s amazing to play here.”
Alejandro Tabilo of Chile won 7-5, 6-2 over American Steve Johnson. Colombia’s Daniel Elahi Galan defeated Marc-Andrea Huesler of Switzerland 6-3, 7-5.
In doubles, the wild-card pairing of 2010 NCAA singles titlist Bradley Klahn (Stanford) and Spaniard Fernando Verdasco dispatched Hans Hach Verdugo and Treat Huey, 6-4, 6-3. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/sports/article/Former-NCAA-champs-McDonald-Giron-advance-in-San-17458660.php | 2022-09-22T06:42:18 | en | 0.939318 |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — MJ Melendez homered for the second straight day, the Royals bullpen pitched five innings of two-hit ball and Kansas City beat the fast-fading Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Wednesday night to put a positive finish on a difficult day.
The Royals clinched their first winning series in nearly a month just hours after owner John Sherman fired longtime front office executive Dayton Moore, who led the franchise to two American League pennants and a World Series title.
Daniel Lynch allowed two runs on four hits over four shaky innings before giving way to the Kansas City bullpen, which was solid for the second consecutive night. Anthony Misiewicz (1-1) and three other relievers got the ball to Scott Barlow, pitched around an error in the ninth for his second save in as many nights and 23rd on the year.
Bailey Ober (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings for Minnesota, which was in an AL Central race two weeks ago but has lost six of seven to begin an eight-game trip that's dashed its playoff hopes.
The Royals opened the game the same way they finished the previous night: with production at the top of the order.
Melendez, who hit a two-run homer in the series opener, homered leading off the game for the third time this season, driving a 3-1 pitch an estimated 437 feet to center field. And after Bobby Witt Jr. reached on a base hit, Salvador Perez blooped an RBI double to right that was sneakily reminiscent of his two-out, go-ahead double on Tuesday night.
Minnesota got one back in the second on Matt Wallner's base hit, and when the Royals answered on Edward Oliveras' two-out single in the third, the Twins again closed within a run thanks in part to a two-bag error by Vinnie Pasquantino.
That was it for the Twins, though, because the stars of the night came out of the Kansas City bullpen.
Collin Snider worked around a two-on, no-out jam in the fifth. Misiewicz retired four of the five he faced in the sixth and seventh. Dylan Coleman handled the rest of the seventh and the first two outs of the eighth. And Amir Garrett finished that one off before Barlow wrapped up the Twins' 13th loss in their last 16 games.
MORE ON MOORE
Moore said farewell to the Royals during brief remarks at Kauffman Stadium earlier Wednesday and spent an emotional few minutes visiting with players in the clubhouse. Many of them acknowledged the somberness of the moment. Moore had led the organization for the past 16 years as general manager and president of baseball operations.
“He's such a great guy. A great person,” Perez said. “I just old him, ‘Thank you for everything.’ I love him."
UP NEXT
RHP Josh Winder (4-4, 4.17 ERA) will face Kansas City for the first time in the final game of the road trip for Minnesota on Thursday. Royals RHP Jonathan Heasley (3-8, 5.09) will try to build on 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his last start at Boston.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Matt Vierling had five hits, including the game-winning RBI single in the 10th, to rally the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.
J.T. Realmuto homered as Philadelphia snapped a five-game losing streak to stay 2 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee for the final NL wild-card spot.
“It doesn’t get much better than that,” Vierling said. “Definitely needed it. We grinded all night.”
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who lead the AL wild-card standings.
Bryson Stott led off the 10th with a sacrifice bunt to move pinch-runner Yairo Muñoz to third. Adam Cimber (10-6) then hit Jean Segura before walking Dalton Guthrie on four pitches to load the bases.
Vierling hit a 1-1 chopper up the middle past the five Blue Jays on the infield, then raised his right fist high in the air as he ran to first before being mobbed by his teammates between first and second. The celebration got so rowdy that one of his teammates ripped Vierling’s shirt off his body.
“It got ripped,” Vierling said. “Three buttons fell off. Hopefully, they’ll give me another one.”
The Blue Jays loaded the bases with one out in the top of the 10th against Andrew Bellatti (4-3). But Teoscár Hernandez lined out sharply to second baseman Segura, who stepped on second to double off Bradley Zimmer.
A night after combining for 29 runs in a game in which the Blue Jays recorded 21 hits — including 10 for extra bases — in an 18-11 win, this game was scoreless through seven innings. After Whit Merrifield led off the eighth with a single, shortstop Stott committed a pivotal throwing error on George Springer’s routine grounder. Guerrero made the Phillies pay by driving Seranthony Dominguez’s 1-0, 99-mph sinker into the seats in left for his 30th homer to extend his hitting streak to 14 consecutive games.
Realmuto led off the eighth with a solo shot to left off Yimi Garcia, Philadelphia got within a run on Guthrie’s two-out RBI single to right and Kyle Schwarber tied it with a single to right off Jordan Romano.
Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman gave up five hits while striking out eight and walking two in six innings.
“It’s unfortunate the way we lost, but we’ll just continue to play good baseball,” Gausman said. “It’s gonna happen. That’s baseball. Thai time of year, you don’t want to dwell on anything. On to the next game.”
Phillies starter Zack Wheeler was lifted after four innings in his first outing since Aug. 20 due to right forearm tendinitis. The 2021 NL Cy Young runner-up looked like his old self, giving up two hits, striking out three and walking none while throwing 58 pitches.
“I felt good, felt strong, felt healthy,” Wheeler said.
Noah Syndergaard, acquired by the at the trade deadline, came on for Wheeler and gave up three hits in two innings in his second relief appearance in his 145th career game.
STREAKING JAY
Guerrero is batting .306 with three homers and seven RBIs during his hitting streak.
STRUGGLING PHILLIE
Bryce Harper has struggled since returning on Aug. 26 from a two-month absence due to a broken left thumb and is now batting .220 with two homers and 10 RBIs since his comeback after going 0 for 5 with a pair of strikeouts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: Cavan Biggio replaced 2B Santiago Espinal in the seventh after Espinal experienced left side discomfort.
Phillies: OF Brandon Marsh was not in the lineup a night after suffering a left knee contusion while crashing into the wall in left-center.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays: Open four-game set at Tampa Bay on Thursday. RHP José Berrios (11-5, 4.99) starts for Toronto. The Rays haven’t announced their starter.
Phillies: Begin four-game home series against Atlanta on Thursday, with LHP Ranger Suarez (9-5, 3.53) set to face Braves LHP Max Fried (13-6, 2.52).

Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions has been considered a fantasy sleeper coming into the season and for good reason. The USC product came alive at the end of last season solidifying himself as a vital part of Detroit’s receiving core going forward. So far this year, he has picked up right where he left off. He currently is tied for second in the league for receiving touchdowns with three and 10th in terms of receiving yards with 180.
He shined in Detroit’s first win of the season against the Washington Commanders. In that game, he finished with nine catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns. However, St. Brown also clinched a magnificent milestone in the win that is going severely overlooked. St. Brown tied an NFL record. A feat that has only been done by two other wide receivers in NFL history which are Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Ties NFL Receiving Record
Amon-Ra St. Brown Joins Elite Ranks in NFL Record Book
In the win over the Commanders, St. Brown joined the ranks of elite company. As alluded to already, he joined Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown as the only receivers to have eight straight games with at least eight catches. He is quickly becoming Jared Goff’s favorite target, an impressive feat considering he is competing with the likes of T.J. Hockenson and D.J. Chark for targets. On top of tying an impressive receiving record, Amon-Ra St. Brown is also currently fourth in receptions with 17. He is also tied for third in targets to start the season according to Pro Football Focus.
Other impressive stats include 10.6 yards per reception and has even done some work on the ground already. When running the ball, he has two carries that have gone for 68 yards which have resulted in 34 yards per attempt. These chunk plays have added another wrinkle into Detroit’s offense. As a result, expect more creative plays getting St. Brown involved going forward. With all of this in mind, do not be surprised to see another great game from Amon-Ra St. Brown. Especially in week three against the division rival Minnesota Vikings which could result in more records being tied or even broken.
St. Brown’s Projection Going Forward
If Amon Ra-St. Brown continues to be this productive, then his name will start to be involved in many more top-10 receiver conversations. The fourth-round pick continues to prove his doubters wrong. Not to mention, he is clearly starting to get more of a rapport with the quarterback, Jared Goff. The Lions are still a team in the middle of a rebuild, however, things are looking up. Amon-Ra St. Brown is spearheading this effort and needs to be a pillar of Detroit’s future. Expect Goff to continue to target St. Brown five to seven times per game. With that being said, St. Brown should have many more 90 to 100-yard games this season. As a result, he will also remain one of the league leaders in receptions. With all of this in mind, St. Brown is well on his way to becoming a top-10 wide receiver. | https://thesportsdaily.com/news/amon-ra-st-brown-ties-nfl-record-in-week-two/ | 2022-09-22T06:42:47 | en | 0.979101 |

FOREX-Dollar hits new 24-year peak to yen as BOJ stays dovish; BOE looms
The yen went for a wild ride in the immediate aftermath of the BOJ's decision to keep short-term rates negative and continue to pin the 10-year government bond yield near zero, reinforcing market expectations that Japan's central bank will continue to swim against a global tide of monetary tightening, despite a weaker currency. The dollar leapt as high as 145.405 yen for the first time since August 1998, but then swung sharply back to as low as 143.50, before last trading 0.45% higher than Wednesday at 144.75.

By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Sept 22 (Reuters) -
The U.S. dollar surged to a new 24-year high against the yen after the Bank of Japan stuck to ultra-easing stimulus on Thursday, just hours after the Federal Reserve surprised markets with hawkish interest-rate projections. The greenback had already pushed to a new 37-year peak to sterling ahead of the Bank of England's policy announcement later in the day, and to a two-decade top versus the euro.
It also notched new highs against regional currencies from the Australian and New Zealand dollars to the offshore Chinese yuan and the Korean won, as well as the Singapore dollar and Thai baht. The yen went for a wild ride in the immediate aftermath of the BOJ's decision to keep short-term rates negative and continue to pin the 10-year government bond yield near zero, reinforcing market expectations that Japan's central bank will continue to swim against a global tide of monetary tightening, despite a weaker currency.
The dollar leapt as high as 145.405 yen for the first time since August 1998, but then swung sharply back to as low as 143.50, before last trading 0.45% higher than Wednesday at 144.75. "There could be concern about intervention, or even a rate check by the BOJ," said Tohru Sasaki, head of Japan market research at J.P. Morgan in Tokyo. "It could also just be the result of market illiquidity."
"The market will be nervous, there will be some volatility for a while, but eventually, over the medium term, the weak yen trend will continue," Sasaki said. "The 1998 peak was at 147.60, so the market will be looking at that level." Japan's top currency diplomat said later that officials had not intervened in the market.
The dollar index - which measures the greenback against a basket of six counterparts including the yen, euro and sterling - had earlier risen as high as 111.79 for the first time since mid-2002. On Wednesday, the Fed issued new projections showing rates peaking at 4.6% next year with no cuts until 2024. It raised its target interest rate range by another 75 basis points (bps) overnight to 3.00%-3.25%, as was widely expected.
The dollar was already supported by demand for safe-haven assets after Putin announced he would call up reservists to fight in Ukraine and said Moscow would respond with the might of all its vast arsenal if the West pursued what he called its "nuclear blackmail" over the conflict there. "Both the Fed projections and the Russia headlines contributed to the dollar's strength, which was particularly acute against the euro and other European currencies," said Shinichiro Kadota, a senior FX strategist at Barclays in Tokyo.
"Commodity currencies also took a big hit due to the deterioration in risk sentiment." The euro weakened to a new 20-year trough of $0.9807, before trading 0.11% down on Wednesday at $0.98265.
Sterling fell to a fresh 37-year low of $1.1221, and last changed hands at $1.12425, a 0.24% decline from the previous session. The market currently sees 80% odds for a 75 bps rate hike by the BOE, and 20% probably of a half point increase.
The Aussie dropped 0.47% to $0.6602 after having touched $0.6583, its lowest since mid-2020. Liquidity in the currency may be thin with Australia observing a public holiday.

Govt's MUDRA loan scheme 'practically worthless' in promoting businesses: Chidambaram
- Country:
- India
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday criticised the Centre's MUDRA loan scheme, saying it was ''practically worthless'' in promoting businesses.
The former finance minister also said he is not surprised that the non-performing asset (NPA) ratio is the highest under the MUDRA loan scheme.
''I have long maintained that the MUDRA loan scheme is practically worthless to promote businesses,'' Chidambaram said on Twitter.
The State Bank of India has taken pride that in the Tamil Nadu-Puducherry zone, the bank had distributed Rs 1000 crore to 26,750 MUDRA beneficiaries in 2021-22, he said.
Mighty impressive numbers until one does the mathematics, Chidambaram said, adding that the average size of the loan to 26,750 beneficiaries is only Rs 3.73 lakhs.
What new business can be started with Rs 3.73 lakh and how many jobs can be created with Rs 3.73 lakhs, he asked.
The Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) is a scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 8, 2015 for providing loans up to 10 lakh to the non-corporate, non-farm small/micro enterprises. These loans are classified as MUDRA loans under PMMY.

SpiceJet to hike salary for pilots by 20 pc in October
SpiceJet has announced around 20 per cent hike in salaries for the pilots come this October, sources told ANI.
- Country:
- India
SpiceJet has announced around 20 per cent hike in salaries for the pilots come this October, sources told ANI. This latest upward revision in salaries follows a 6 per cent hike announced last month.
"Keeping with our commitment of increasing salaries in a calibrated manner as our business improves, the salary for the month of October will see an increase of around 20 per cent for our captains and senior first officers," Captain Gurcharan Arora, SVP - Flight Operations, SpiceJet, told all the pilots. The move on salary revision comes days after it decided to place certain pilots on leave without pay (LWP) for a period of three months as a temporary measure to rationalise cost.
On Tuesday, SpiceJet said the measure, which is in line with the company's policy of not retrenching any employee which the airline steadfastly followed even during the COVID pandemic, will help rationalize the pilot strength vis-a-vis the aircraft fleet. Even after placing certain pilots on leave without pay, SpiceJet said it will have a sufficient number of pilots to operate its full schedule as and when the DGCA restriction on flights is lifted.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday extended the 50 per cent restriction on SpiceJet flights till October 29. Moreover, the above-mentioned sources said the airline will deposit TDS of all employees in the next 2-3 weeks. A significant portion of provident funds will also be credited.
The sources said the first tranche of ECLGS payment has been received and the second tranche is expected very soon. Also, SVP - Flight Operations, Arora, told the pilots that the management was looking to raise USD 200 million in addition to the ECLGS from the government.
In early September, sources in the airline said it will receive around Rs 225 crore as part of the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) scheme. Spicejet will likely use this money to clear statutory dues and other payments to lessors. Launched by the central government as a special scheme in wake of Covid-19 in 2020, the programme intended to provide guarantee coverage to banks and NBFCs to enable them to extend emergency credit to various industries to meet their working capital requirements.
Meanwhile, SpiceJet has been going through a highly turbulent phase in recent times on account of several glitches and a non-adherence to mandated guidelines in regard to the training of some pilots. It all started in April 2022 when the aviation watchdog the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) restrained 90 pilots of the airline from operating Boeing 737 Max aircraft, after finding they were not properly trained. That was followed by multiple snags in its aircraft. (ANI)

Trade can generate more jobs in Southern Mediterranean countries: ILO report
In 2019 the Southern Mediterranean countries accounted for less than 0.1 per cent of the global exports and for about 1 per cent of the global import of goods.
Even though current crises have disrupted supply chains and severely impacted the volume of international trade and investment, they also have generated new nearshoring opportunities, which might benefit countries in the Southern Mediterranean by boosting export opportunities across different sectors says a recent ILO report.
According to The Impact of Trade and Investment Policies on Productive and Decent Work countries in the region grew by about 4 per cent in 2019 and experienced a significant economic slump due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The region is weakly integrated into the global economy. In 2019 the Southern Mediterranean countries accounted for less than 0.1 per cent of the global exports and for about 1 per cent of the global import of goods.
Foreign direct investment can often result in the technological upgrading in host countries. However, despite significant reforms, the region's success in attracting foreign direct investments has been limited, and this in turn has restricted growth.
The region is also characterized by low labour force participation rates, high levels of unemployment and informality, and inadequate creation of quality jobs. Women in the region face challenges in joining the labour market. Despite high levels of education, the female labour force participation rate is one of the lowest in the world. In 2019, just 22 per cent of women were in the labour market, compared to a global average of 47 per cent.
Another characteristic of the region is the high proportion of young people. More than a quarter of the population is aged 15 to 29. However, they struggle to secure quality jobs and develop their potential. Increasing and improving employment opportunities, in particular for youth, women, and in small and medium sized enterprises, would help to improve the region's economic prospects.
The report concludes that a more effective integration of employment issues into trade and investment policies can result in a more equally and evenly distribution of economic gains. Promoting dialogue and increasing technical cooperation can also play an important role and help to strengthen regional integration.

Credit Suisse considers splitting investment bank in three - FT
Credit Suisse Group AG has drawn up plans to split its investment bank in three, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, as the Swiss lender attempts to emerge from three years of relentless scandals. Under proposals to the board, the bank is looking to sell profitable units such as its securitised products business to prevent a damaging capital raise, the report said, citing people familiar with the plans.
Credit Suisse Group AG has drawn up plans to split its investment bank in three, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, as the Swiss lender attempts to emerge from three years of relentless scandals.
Under proposals to the board, the bank is looking to sell profitable units such as its securitised products business to prevent a damaging capital raise, the report said, citing people familiar with the plans. https://on.ft.com/3BZHTUd Credit Suisse declined to comment on the story when contacted by Reuters.
The proposals could see the investment bank split into three parts: the group's advisory business, which might be spun off at some later point; a "bad bank" to hold high-risk assets that will be wound down; and the rest of the business. "We have said we will update on progress on our comprehensive strategy review when we announce our third-quarter earnings," the newspaper report quoted Credit Suisse as saying. "It would be premature to comment on any potential outcomes before then."
Chair Axel Lehmann had appointed Ulrich Körner as chief executive officer in the summer with a brief to carry out a radical shake-up of the bank, which has been hit by a corporate spying scandal, investment fund closures, a record trading loss and a litany of lawsuits in recent years, the report said. Reuters reported earlier this month that Credit Suisse, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, was also looking to cut around 5,000 jobs, about one position in 10, as part of a cost-reduction drive.
In May, Reuters said the bank was in the early stages of weighing options to bolster its capital after a string of losses had eroded its financial buffers.
