Brussels: EU member states on Friday extended for another year a sanctions framework against Turkey allowing visa bans and asset freezes against individuals involved in contested gas exploration in the Mediterranean.
The move comes as tensions remain high between the European Union and Turkey.
Ankara has ordered a gas exploration vessel into east Mediterranean waters claimed by Cyprus and Greece, both of which are calling for more sanctions to be imposed.
The EU sanctions framework was extended to November 12, 2021, the European Council said in a statement.
It prolongs an EU decision, reached in October 2019, under which two senior officials of the state-owned Turkish Petroleum Corporation were in February this year subjected to sanctions.
UHT refers to Ultra High Temperature pasteurisation which is used to treat fluid milk so as to remove the germs and bacteria present in it while preserving the essential nutrients and vitamins. UHT milk is then packed in aseptic containers which help to prevent the further growth of any harmful microorganisms. These UHT milk packs have a high shelf life and can last for several months at room temperature.

In a statement issued at 12 noon on Friday, the Apostolic Nunciature in Poland announced that Cardinal Henryk Gulbinowicz, one of the oldest cardinals in the country, has been subjected to penal measures on account of abuse of minors. The Archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Wrocław has been accused of harassment, homosexual acts, and collaboration with the security service of the time.
Penalties imposed
The statement issued by the Nunciature says that “following the investigation into the accusations made against Cardinal Henryk Gulbinowicz, and after analysing other accusations concerning the Cardinal’s past, the Holy See has taken the following disciplinary decisions against him: [the Cardinal] is forbidden from participating in any public celebration or meeting; forbidden from using episcopal insignia; and prohibited from the funeral service and burial in the cathedral.”
Additionally Cardinal Gulbinowicz will be required to pay “an adequate some of money in the form of a donation for the activities of the St Joseph Foundation, established by the Polish Bishops’ Conference for victims of sexual abuse, their psychological assistance, prevention [of abuse] and the education of those responsible for the protection of minors.”
“Many countries heard our call back in January when we rang our highest alarm by calling a public health emergency of international concern”, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) told a regular press briefing in Geneva.
Since then, he explained that they have been working closely with the UN agency, following parameters set out in its strategic response plan, outlined on 4 February.
“While #COVID19 continues to evolve, we must take all opportunities to learn & improve the response as we go. Many countries heard our call back in Jan when we rang our highest alarm by calling a public health emergency of international concern”-@DrTedrospic.twitter.com/sszevdIC4A
“They’ve conducted reviews, shared data and experience and honed their response to their national experience and unique situation on the ground”, Tedros continued, adding that they have also been strengthening their responses by using Intra-Action Reviews, which harness “a whole-of-society, multi-sectoral approach” at national and sub-national levels.
“Intra-Action Reviews not only help countries improve their COVID-19 response but also contribute towards their long-term health security”, the WHO chief upheld. “To date, 21 countries have completed them, and others are in pipeline”.
The best time to look at country’s emergency response capacity is during an emergency, “when you can clearly see what works, what doesn’t and what you need to improve”, he said.
And wherever a country is, he maintained that they can “turn it around with a whole-of-government and whole-of-society response”.
“There’s hope, and now is the time to double down on efforts to tackle this virus” Tedros stressed. “We can save lives and livelihoods and end this pandemic, together”.
Health ministers speak
Having conducted reviews in real-time, the Ministers of Health from Thailand, South Africa and Indonesia, shared their experiences with the WHO chief.
Anutin Charnvirakul explained how Thailand drew on lessons learned from SARS back in 2003 and responded to COVID with a strong public health response led by identifying, isolating, treating cases and tracing and quarantining contacts of those infected.
“We commit to improving our response to COVID-19 by working closely with relevant stakeholders”, he stated.
Meanwhile, Zweli Mkhize gave an overview of the pandemic in South Africa, and how the country utilized the Intra-Action Review, the lessons it had learned and its path forward, which includes new committees at both national and provincial levels to ensure that recommendations being “incorporated into strategic plans” are implemented.
“COVID-19 is still with us and we must remain vigilant and continue to fight together”, he warned.
And Terawan Agus Putranto, Indonesia’s health minister, said their successful response to the pandemic had been built around “coordination, risk communication and community empowerment.”
He also acknowledged that the country needs to improve on its enforcement of “lockdown restrictions and empowering the community, as agents for change”.
German police said the men targeted Friday were not considered suspects, but they contacted the attacker, and two met him in person.
Several suspects are still held in Austria, and officials are following up leads in Switzerland too.
The gunman went on a rampage in Vienna on Monday night, opening fire in six places in the center. Two women and two men were killed, and 23 were wounded in Monday’s terror attack, for which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
Police shot the gunman dead. They found that the attacker named as Kujtim Fejzulai had both Austrian and Macedonian citizenship.
The shootings started around Vienna’s main synagogue, recalled Rabbi Schlomo Hofmeister. “I heard the shootings on the street. In the beginning, I thought it was fireworks, which can happen at this time of year,” he said. “But then I saw an attacker with a gun was shooting at the guests in the nearby bars and restaurants in the area.”
Austria’s Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said authorities are trying to track down the 20-year-old killer’s contacts. He claimed that they were dealing with “a violent criminal who was clearly intensely active in the Islamist political network, a sympathizer who took on their ideology.”
Slovakia warning
But the minister has admitted that a warning from Slovakia last summer about the attacker was not followed up. In Slovakia, police revealed they had tipped off Austrian authorities about “suspects from Austria” trying to buy ammunition in July.
He reportedly failed to buy bullets as the gunman had no license.
It has also emerged he was released early from a jail sentence last December for trying to join jihadists in Syria.
The shootings have underscored broader fears of Islamic terror attacks in Europe following the recent stabbing of three people in a church in the French city of Nice and the beheading of a teacher in a Paris suburb.
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. The European Union extended by one year the sanctions against Turkey for unauthorized drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and threatened to impose fresh sanctions.
“The Council today adopted a decision extending for one year, until 12 November 2021, the existing framework for restrictive measures in response to Turkey’s unauthorized drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean”, the Council of the European Union said.
“The European Union will therefore maintain its ability to impose targeted restrictive measures on persons or entities responsible for or involved in unauthorized drilling activities of hydrocarbons in the Eastern Mediterranean. The sanctions consist of a travel ban to the EU and an asset freeze for persons, and an asset freeze for entities. In addition, EU persons and entities are forbidden from making funds available to those listed. Currently two individuals are subject to sanctions.”
President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager and trusted ally Brad Parscale is reportedly expecting to sign a big-money book deal — and it has Trump’s team worried.
Citing unnamed sources, Bloomberg reported Parscale has told a number of people he’s writing a book, raising concerns with some Trump advisers that it could reveal damaging information about Trump and his family.
Parscale has said he has a literary agent and is in talks with a publisher; a potential deal could be seven figures, Bloomberg reported.
Parscale was demoted in July after a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, drew far less attendance than the then-campaign manager promised.
But he stepped aside altogether in September, telling Politico in a statement at the time that he intended to ”focus on my family and get help dealing with the overwhelming stress.”
The statement followed reports that Parscale was in the hospital days earlier after his wife, Candice Blount, reported he was at their Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home with guns and threatening to harm himself.
According to Bloomberg, Parscale’s allies think Trump would’ve convincingly won reelection with Parscale at the campaign helm — and those allies expect his book will include how he would’ve run the operation in the closing months.
In a tweet Friday, Parscale took a veiled shot at the campaign’s management, suggesting Trump outperformed among Latino voters thanks to the work of an aide who had left.
He also tweeted the country “needs to rethink elections.”
”We have the ability and the technology that the people of this country are fairly represented,” Parscale wrote. ”It is time for all of us just say, my vote should count. Make it transparent. Make it fair. Just stop and make it right.”
LUDHIANA: When the God shuts one door on you, he opens another. When a man in dire need of a kidney was about to lose all hope, a woman from another family donated her kidney to him, and the recipient’s sister gave her kidney to the donor woman’s husband, who was also in need of organ transplant. The two women’s ultimate gifts thus saved the lives of their loved ones. However, the unique part of the swap kidney story remains that the two families come from different communities — Muslim and Sikh. The first recipient hails from a Muslim family of Malerkotla, while the second recipient’s Sikh family belongs to Fatehgarh Sahib. The kidney transplants were done by a doctor at a private hospital in Ludhiana. Manvir Singh, 30, of Manderan village in Fatehgarh Sahib, who worked as a bus driver, told TOI that following swelling in his feet and stopping of urine flow, the doctors said his both kidneys have stopped functioning, and for the two-and-half years he had been undergoing dialysis. “My wife was ready to give her kidney, but her blood group did not match with mine. For one reason or the other, none in the family was suitable for donating the organ to me. Later, the specialist at the private hospital told me that a swap kidney transplant with a Muslim family was a possibility and we went for it,” said Manvir. “While my wife Manpreet Kaur gave her kidney to Shakeel Ahmed, his sister Shakeela gave her kidney to me. Now, it’s a blood relation between us. She has become my sister by giving me a new lease of life, whereas my wife is sister to him as she gave a part of her body to him. It’s a great example of communal harmony,” he added. On the other hand, readymade garment trader and resident of Jamalpura in Malerkotla, Shakeel Ahmed, 43, said he is thankful first to Allah and then to the Sikh family for giving him a new life. His 45-year-old sister Shakeela made the sacrifice for him. Shakeel, who is unmarried, said he had developed kidney problem and was operated upon several years ago. But later, his kidney again stopped working and he had been undergoing dialysis for the past five months. Urologist and transplant surgeon Dr BS Aulakh, who led the team in the surgery, said, “The families did not know each other prior to coming to the hospital and their meeting was arranged by the hospital coordinator and the transplant was approved by the government-appointed authorisation committee. They agreed to give this precious gift of life to each other’s patients and in doing so spread the message of humanity and communal harmony”. Director of the hospital Dr Navpreet Kaur Aulakh said, “Such acts of kindness and selflessness have given a new lease of life to two patients. Both the transplants were successful and both patients were discharged with normal kidney function. This swap transplant epitomises the essence of organ donation transgressing all boundaries, including religion. The unique procedure is bound to raise hopes for several organ receivers as also donors.”
