Shay Mitchell responds to those accusing her of faking her vacation Instagram photos

LOS ANGELES - Shay Mitchell is clapping back at her vacation doubters. After the actress recently posted a round of vacation photos to Instagram, some accused her of being a “Pretty Little Liar”and faking some of her snaps taken abroad in China. The former PLL star, who often documents her worldly travels on social media, responded to her haters on Friday with -- what else? -- a photo of the 30-year-old herself overlooking a gorgeous nighttime view of Shanghai’s waterside attraction, The Bund. “View so nice it almost looks... fake,” she captioned the shot. The image comes a couple

of days after Stylecaster called out the star for sharing photos taken from other sources without providing credit. One photo in particular, posted to Mitchell’s Instagram story, featured a stunning snap of Hong Kong’s historic Monster Building, alongside the caption, “Night views.” It was here that the fashion and entertainment website noticed a telling computer cursor in the lower left side of the shot. The actress also shared another snap of a series of buildings that may inspire her “next nail polish change,” but a reverse image search suggested that the shot is actually a photo from 2014, taken in Tokyo, Japan.

Blake Shelton Gushes Over ‘Adopted Okie’ Gwen Stefani: ‘I Love You Pretty Girl’

OKLAHOMA - Gwen Stefani is fitting into Blake Shelton’s Oklahoma life seamlessly.

IBP/net

Shelton recently paid his girlfriend a sweet compliment on Twitter, praising her arrowhead finding skills. The 41-year-old country star even went so far as to dub Stefani an “adopted Okie.” “Hey @gwenstefani it’s official... with your arrowhead finding eye you are now an adopted Okie!!!” he wrote. “Side note: I love you pretty girl... #truth.” He also proudly responded to fan who asked, “Did Gwen find those arrowheads on your ranch?!?

If so, that’s very cool.” Stefani and her three sons -11-year-old Kingston, 9-year-old Zuma and 4-year-old Apollo -- as well as her niece, Stella, have been spending spring break in Shelton’s home state. Last month, Shelton talked about spending time with 48year-old Stefani’s kids during his appearance on the Today show. “I never saw that coming, but it’s so fun,” he told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford of having children in his life. “At this point in my life, I kind of had put that, like -- ‘Well, I guess that wasn’t meant to be’ -- and then all of a sudden it happens one way or another and it’s like wow, I really missed out

on a lot. So having them around is, I don’t even know how to describe it, it’s so much fun.” The couple has been dating since November 2015, and a source recently told ET that although the two appear more in love than ever, they aren’t rushing to get married any time soon. “There is no reason for them to rush into a marriage so they aren’t,” the source said. “Both of them are happy and content with where their relationship is right now.” “They are on cloud nine for each other,” the source added. “They are perfect for each other. They know they have found their true soulmate.” (net)

Hungary’s Viktor Orban wins ‘supermajority’ for third consecutive term in office

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has secured a third successive term in office after his right-wing Fidesz party won by a landslide in parliamentary elections. With around 93 percent of the ballots counted, Hungary’s National Election Office said Orban’s ruling administration had secured almost half of the vote on Sunday. The result is projected to keep the Fidesz party in power with a two-thirds majority — a key “supermajority” level which allows constitutional changes. The 54-year-old incumbent, who had built a fence on Hungary’s southern border during the 2015 migration crisis, campaigned for re-election on an anti-immigration and protectionist message once again. He has also pledged to cut income taxes and pass pro-economic growth policies. Speaking to supporters outside the Fidesz election headquarters in Budapest shortly before midnight local time, Orban said citizens of the central European nation had given themselves an “opportunity to defend themselves.” Migration: A fear of the ‘un-

known’ The Fidesz party improved significantly on its performance in 2014, gaining a further 5 percent share in the popular vote this time around. Orban’s campaign was thought to have been aided by an improving economic outlook, his party’s stringent control over state media and deep divisions among opposition parties. “What we can see is that Viktor Orban won this election due to only one issue — and this is clearly migration,” Andras Biro-Nagy, political analyst at Policy Solutions, a Hungarian think tank, told CNBC’s

“Squawk Box Europe” Monday. Biro-Nagy said that as relatively few people had been allowed to emigrate to Hungary in recent decades, the migration issue was an “unknown thing” for a large portion of the electorate. “For the vast majority of the population, (immigration) is seen as a threat to the cultural identity of the country. This is why economic arguments like potential GDP growth due to immigration simply do not matter,” he added. Voter turnout had soared to near-record highs of 69 percent — an outcome which analysts had anticipated

could boost the chances of the prime minister’s opponents. However, with almost all of the ballots counted, the right-wing Jobbik party accrued 20 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the Socialist party appeared to finish third with 12 percent while the LMP — Hungary’s main Green Party — finished fourth with around 7 percent of the vote. Leaders of the second and thirdplaced parties have since announced their resignation. Continued to page 6

The 2016 IMF-WB Annual Meeting

Blessing of IMF-WB Annual Meeting implementation

The International Monetary Fund-World Bank (IMF-WB) Annual Meeting 2018 is the world’s largest economic and finance meeting in the world. An estimated 18,000 foreigners will arrive to Bali during the event. The presence of tens of thousands of people is touted to bring in extraordinary blessings for the economy of Bali. Pursuant to the estimated data, the money circulating before and after the event reaches IDR 5.7 trillion. The Head of Bali Representative Office of Bank Indonesia, Causa Iman Karana, once delivered such

estimated expenditure. Food, drink and entertainment will reach around IDR146 billion, transportation and vehicle rental reaches IDR 74 billion and hotel accommodation reaches IDR 666 billion.

If calculated with the expenditure of infrastructure, it will be obtained the figure for the addition of apron in Ngurah Rai Airport valued at IDR 1.34 trillion, underpass construction at Ngurah Rai Statue intersection

(IDR 289 billion) and construction of Benoa Tourism Park (IDR 1.7 trillion). This huge expenditure makes Bali’s economic growth increase to 6.4 percent. If this happens, the growth will surpass the national average predicted to only reach around 5 percent. Consequence of the increasing economic growth and the amount of money spent in Bali is triggering the

inflation. This is what to be watched out for. Learning from the experience of APEC Meeting 2013 in Bali, the inflation could be triggered to reach 8.16 percent. It is a large number and can make the Balinese people difficult due to expensive prices. If it results in high inflation, the economic blessings of the IMF-WB annual meeting will not be enjoyed optimally by Balinese people. (nata)

Library of millennial style

Take advantage of roving library targeting public places WHEREVER there is a crowded place, there is always a smart car. The smart car is blue, equipped with various types of books and other information technology facilities. It is called a smart car because it carries all kinds of science. This is the style of today’s library in Karangasem, amid the declining reading habit in the society. The smart car is a roving library car belonging to local government facility. Karangasem Library and Archives Office has now a tough task to improve the reading habit in the community. The onslaught of technological development with the emergence

of gadgets has changed the reading habit so it needs a new breakthrough to make people easier and love reading. Now, there is a roving library car. The Library Service highly utilizes this facility to achieve the above objectives. This car is very proactive coming down to schools, cultural parks and centers of the crowd in Karangasem like the regular activity of car-free day on Jalur Sebelas in Padangkerta, Amlapura, on Sunday (Apr. 8). Society including the elderly to children was very enthusiastic to take advantage of this roving library car. “Not only reading, children in particular,

can also learn to draw and color,” said the Head of the Karangasem Library and Archives Service, Komang Daging, on Sunday (Apr. 8). The roving library car, according to him, is very strategic as can move from one place to another as the effort to proactively reach the middle of society. Today, the car is more complete. In addition to a variety of books from children to adults, it is also equipped with information technology facilities such as laptops, televisions and sound system and free internet access. “Currently, our library facilities are still very limited and the presence of this

roving library car can serves as alternative to fulfill people’s need for reading material to educate themselves,” he said. Daging hoped the roving library can regularly visit people in all corners of Karangasem region. So, gradually people’s reading interest can increase considering the reading rate of Indonesian population is very low. This roving library service has four units, consisting of 2 units of smart car denoting the solidarity assistance of the wife of the United Indonesia Cabinet and two other units are the assistance from the National Library. “This

kind of roving library is very much needed because the library media are very limited,” said one of the readers, Ketut Indra. Looking at the slow development of the library, the Regent of Karangasem, I Gusti Ayu Mas Sumatri, once mentioned that schools should allocate five percent of the school operating budget or goods expenditure, excluding personnel expenditures and capital expenditures for library development. This refers to the Law No. 43/2017 on the Library. It is meant to develop the reading habit with the right reading material built in the community, especially among students. (kmb31)

A planned space hotel hopes to welcome guests by 2022 — for a cost of almost $800,000 a night

CALIFORNIA - Looking for a getaway that offers unmatched views of sunrises and sunsets? Specifically, 384 of them in 12 days? Houston-based Orion Span hopes to launch the “first luxury hotel in space” — the 35-by-14foot Aurora Station — by late 2021 and bring guests on board the following year. The hotel will accommodate up to four travelers and two crew members at a time, racing them around the planet at high speeds for 12 days, the company said in a news release. Adventurers pay $9.5 million per person — or about $791,666 a night — and their $80,000 deposit can already be reserved online, company officials said. But don’t fear: The deposit is fully refundable. “We want to get people into space because it’s the final frontier for our civilization,” Orion Span’s

founder and chief executive, Frank Bunger, told Bloomberg. Bunger said that one reason Orion Span can aim for a price of less than $10 million per person is because of the declining price of launches. “Everybody’s forecasting that [launch prices are] going to fall,” he told Bloomberg. “Almost every week, there’s another rocketlaunch company that’s starting up with a new way to get to orbit cheaper, faster, better.” Orion Span’s announcement of a luxury hotel in space comes amid a revival of the commercial space industry. The launch of Elon Musk’s Falcon Heavy from the Kennedy Space Center in February, for

example, was the latest in a series of milestones that have renewed companies’ interest in space. The launch raised the question of whether SpaceX and other private enterprises could maintain their momentum and fulfill the promise of returning humans to space. That likelihood could increase as the Trump administration looks to restructure the role of NASA, allowing private enterprise and international partners to work closely with the space agency. Orion Span’s proposed hotel offers plenty of attractions: zerogravity flying throughout the station, views of patrons’ home towns from space, the ability to take part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit, and live-streams with friends and family at home through highspeed Internet.

Hunting for dark matter in the smallest galaxies in the Universe SURREY - Astrophysicists from the University of Surrey and the University of Edinburgh have created a new method to measure the amount of dark matter at the centre of tiny “dwarf” galaxies. Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the Universe, yet it remains elusive. Depending on its properties, it can be densely concentrated at the centres of galaxies, or more smoothly distributed over larger scales. By comparing the distribution

of dark matter in galaxies with detailed models, researchers can test or rule out different dark matter candidates. The tightest constraints on dark matter come from the very smallest galaxies in the Universe, “dwarf galaxies.” The smallest of these contain just a few thousand or tens of thousands of stars -- so-called “ultra-faint” dwarfs. Such tiny galaxies, found orbiting close to the Milky Way, are made up almost entirely of

dark matter. If the distribution of dark matter in these tiny galaxies could be mapped out it could provide new and exciting information about its nature. However, being entirely devoid of gas and containing very few stars, until recently there was no viable method for making this measurement. In a study published by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), a team of scientists from the Uni-

Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the Universe, yet it remains elusive.

versity of Surrey have developed a new method to calculate the inner dark matter density of dwarf galaxies, even if they have no gas and very few stars. The key to the method is to make use of one or more dense star clusters orbiting close to the centre of the dwarf. Star clusters are gravitationally bound collections of stars that orbit inside galaxies. Unlike galaxies, star clusters are so dense that their stars gravitationally scatter from one another causing them to slowly expand. The research team made the key new insight when they realised that the rate of this expansion depends on the gravitational field that the star cluster orbits in and, therefore, on the distribution of dark matter in the host galaxy. The team used a large suite of computer simulations to show how the structure of star clusters is sensitive to whether dark matter is densely packed at the centre of galaxies, or more smoothly distributed. The team then applied their method to the recently discovered “ultrafaint” dwarf galaxy, Eridanus II, finding much less dark matter in its centre than many models would have predicted. Dr Filippo Contenta from the University of Surrey and lead author of the study said: “We have developed a new tool to uncover the nature of dark matter and already the results are exciting. Eridanus II, one of the smallest galaxies known, has less dark matter in its centre

than expected. If similar results are found for a larger sample of galaxies, this could have wide-ranging implications for the nature of dark matter.” Professor Mark Gieles, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Surrey and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council (ERC) project that funded the project, added: “We started this ERC project with the hope that we could use star clusters to learn about dark matter so it is very exciting that it worked.” Professor Justin Read, a coauthor on the study from the University of Surrey, added: “It is challenging to understand our results for Eridanus II if dark matter comprises a weakly interacting ‘cold’ particle -- the currently-favoured model for dark matter. One possibility is that the dark matter at the very centre of Eridanus II was “heated up” by violent star formation, as suggested by some recent numerical models. More tantalising, however, is the possibility is that dark matter is more complex than we have assumed to date.” Dr Jorge Peñarrubia from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Physics and Astronomy said: “These findings lend a fascinating insight into the distribution of dark matter in the most dark matter dominated galaxies in the Universe, and there is great potential for what this new method might uncover in the future.” (net)

Lobster scarce, Tabanan fishermen choose to repair fishing gears

TABANAN — Sand lobster fishermen on the coast of Yeh Gangga, Sudimara village, Tabanan subdistrict, are currently upset. It happens because they are currently entering the period of famine. Their main livelihood as lobster fishermen is getting hard to find sand lobster. Moreover, fishermen prefer to pull their boat ashore because as it is rarely used. In addition, the fishermen also choose to fix their fishing gear as well as boat. A number of fishermen said the existence of sand lobster will re-emerge when entering August. Currently, the price of sand lobster reaches about IDR 270,000 per kilogram. This price is determined by the situation in export destination country such as China. Moreover, the demand has increased with the price of lobster can reach IDR 400,000 per kilogram. Not only the lack of catches becoming the constraints of fishermen, the regulation of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Number 56/2016 about the catching of lobster is also a challenge because of the difficulty in finding lobsters weighing over 200 grams. In general, the sand lobster entering adulthood in the waters of South Bali will weigh between 100 and 150 grams. A fisherman, I Ketut Sumadra, said he preferred to repair fishing gear while not going to sea. Virtually all the coastal fishermen of Tabanan, chiefly 79 fishermen, make lobster into their main livelihood. He continued the profession as fisherman is inherited from generation to generation, and lobster is a promising export commodity. On the other hand, collectors said the current famine season drastically reduces lobster catches. By and large, during harvest season, collectors can get sand lobster up to 50 kilograms per day. In the complicated condition faced by fishermen, the head of Tabanan Fishery Agency, I Made Subagia, admitted that he could not do much. He only directed lobster fishermen to temporarily fill in the spare time with activities to improve fishing gear such as nets and boat. (kmb28)

Everyday Grandma Dendi as she familiarly addressed can only lament and stay silent in her rickety and ragged hut because of being paralyzed.

Living in rickety hut

Crippled grandma dreams of living reasonably NEGARA - The condition of Ketut Dendi, 80, from Mekar Sari hamlet, Manistutu village, Melaya, Jembrana district is very apprehensive. Everyday Grandma Dendi as she familiarly addressed can only lament and stay silent in her rickety and ragged hut because of being paralyzed. When met at her home last weekend, she claimed to have been sick since a few years ago. However, a month ago she fell from bed so that her legs were swollen, cracked and

paralyzed. As a result, she can no longer walk. This condition makes Grandma Dendi served by her son, Made Marna, 40, who is a casual worker along with his wife. Condition of the house occupied by Marna is also apprehensive because it remains a hut. The yard looked muddy after heavy rain.

“The rainwater often fell in the room because of the leaky plaited bamboo wall and is exposed to rain water from outside,” said Grandma Dendi accompanied by his son and hamlet chief of Mekar Sari, Gede Suardana. Hamlet chief of Mekar Sari, Gede Suardana, also confirmed that Grandma Dendi and her son belong to poor families. He has proposed them to get a home refurbishment program but until now there has been no realization. ‘We hope

our citizens are also assisted and prioritized,” he said. Condition of Grandma Dendi is also getting thinner. “I dream of having a good house before dying,” said Grandma Dendi sadly. Gede Suardana said that there are still 37 poor families at his hamlet and they have been proposed to get house refurbishment assistance. “Maybe, they are still put in the waiting list, but we also expect the grandma can be prioritized,” he hoped.

Cattle population in Karangasem drops 10,000 heads

AMLAPURA - Volcanic activities of Mount Agung had a significant impact on the condition of Bali cattle population in Karangasem. Based on the data from the Karangasem Agriculture Agency, the current cattle population approximately reaches 117,000 heads.

Head of the Karangasem Agricultural Agency, I Wayan Supandi, said on Sunday (Apr. 8) that such significant population declined due to having been sold. Breeders especially in disaster-prone areas (KRB) are busy selling their cows for fear of big losses if their cattle died due to volcanic activities. “We obtain the data on the decline from the results of field checks conducted by the Bali Livestock Agency. The decline is not due to death but having been sold,” he said. According to Supandi, before the panic triggered by the rising alert status of Mount Agung, the population of Bali cattle in Karangasem continued to increase. This is supported by the availability of adequate feed. The population is quite dense in the areas of Rendang, Bebandem and Selat. The latest data before the alert status of Mount Agung was increased to warning the cattle population reached 127,000 heads. He added there was no direct impact of volcanic ash exposure or poisonous gas of Mount Agung eruption causing the death of cattle. The death case of cattle at that time only amounted to one or two that happened during the process of transportation. In addition to death, there was also a broken cow and due to illness or other causes. In addition to the allegation of having been sold, the cattle population decline in Karangasem also happens because there are still residents of disaster-prone area that have not repatriated their cattle from daycare. For instance, I Nyoman Wirama, 47, from Besakih, some of his cattle were sold during the panicky condition when facing the Mount Agung eruption but some of his cattle are entrusted to relatives in Marga subdistrict, Tabanan. “The cattle have been entrusted there. It will be bothering if they must be brought back and forth. Besides, the Mount Agung has not been fully normal,” he said on

Refugees Fleeing Violence In Myanmar Have A New Worry: Elephants

KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh ? Around midnight on Jan. 19, a heavy sound jolted Anwar Begum out of her sleep. Something was breaking down the bamboo beams holding up her makeshift hut in a refugee camp for displaced Rohingya in southeastern Bangladesh. Her husband, Yakub Ali, thought it was someone trying to break in.

IBP/kmb

Based on the data from the Karangasem Agriculture Agency, the current cattle population approximately reaches 117,000 heads. Sunday (Apr. 8). Unstable condition of Mount Agung also causes farmers to think twice to raise cattle again. Currently, residents in the disaster-prone areas indeed start to buying calves, but not as much as before. Breeders in the area previously had cows

up to tens of heads, but now they do not dare to buy calves in large quantities even though the current price of calves is quite stable. The price of male calves ranges from IDR 7 million to IDR 8 million per head, while female ones range from IDR 4.5 million to IDR 6.5 million per head. (kmb)

Suddenly, the central pillar broke, hitting Begum in the head. Dazed, she pulled herself out from under the collapsed hut. Once outside, she realized that it wasn’t a person destroying their house but an elephant. As the massive animal lunged again, Begum squeezed between its legs and ran to safety. Her screams had woken up the neighbors, who helped save Begum’s two young children from the rubble. Her husband wasn’t as lucky. When Begum looked back inside her demolished home, there were splinters of bamboo sticking out of his body. “Blood was flowing everywhere,” she said in a recent interview. Begum, 40, is one of more than 688,000 Rohingya who have been forced out of Myanmar’s western Rakhine State and into neighboring Bangladesh since Aug. 25, 2017. Although the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group, have lived in Rakhine for centuries, the

Myanmar government does not recognize them as citizens, and the violence against them has escalated over the last eight months. Many Rohingya have sought shelter in Bangladesh. But living in Bangladesh brings new threats ? including encounters with elephants. Kutupalong, the largest and oldest camp in the Rohingya refugee district, sits squarely within one of the most traveled corridors of the endangered Asian elephant. Approximately 5.4 square miles of forest have been cleared to make room for new settlements, and the land-clearing continues as humanitarian and government agencies prepare to move some refugees elsewhere in preparation for monsoon season. Because elephants tend to follow known routes, they plough through any obstacles they encounter. Elephants have killed an estimated 13 Rohingya refugees in the area around Kutupalong, a

Though holding such position at the time, Ida Pedanda also firmly opposed any policies considered to violate the order. One of them was the effort to refurbish the Rambutsiwi Temple that raised the pros and cons among the people in Bali then. Mudarni claimed to have no inkling until the emergence of the disaster. On that day, her father’s activities were like on normal days. After waking up in the morning before sunrise, he always does surya sewana (morning prayers for the universe). At 08:00 local time,

he went to Kedisan hamlet, Yehembang Kauh to officiate over the procession of invoking devil tree. In addition to her, the death of her father also left his wife, Ida Pedanda Istri Rai Oka, 55, and two daughters namely Ida Ayu Putu Murtini, 39, and Ida Ayu Komang Gunarini, 27. After the disaster, his body was laid down. According to her, relatives also have redeemed his soul (nebus) to location of the collapsed devil tree at Kedisan village intersection and Negara Hospital. From the results of consultation to his spiritual teacher at Griya Sibang Kaja, the procession of the ritual will begin on April 15 (bathing the deceased body), April 27 (cremation) and April 30 (mamukur). As reported earlier, Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta died after toppled over by a part of devil tree in the procession of invoking tree at Kedisan. Trunk of the tree of

about 27 meters tall and five meters in diameter was split few moments after a number of carpenters took some parts of the tree trunk for the making of sacred mask. Headman of Munduk Anggrek Kaja, I Made Artana, admitted to be also very struck with the disaster. The tree originally planned to make sanctified effigy of Ida Bhatara Sesuhanan at Puseh Temple of Munduk Anggrek Kaja was unexpectedly collapsed. The procession of invoking the tree has actually planned for a year. During the process, the customary village always asks for instructions from Ida Pedanda (the deceased). Last Saturday, in the procession was only taken two limbs of the tree. After the disaster, based on the guidance of the griya, it was suggested to burn and repeat the invocation procession. He also told if the limb of the tree has been washed away on Yehembang Beach. (olo)

they also live in Myanmar. “I knew there would be elephants in Bangladesh because there’s also forest there,” she said. “But I wasn’t so worried about that when I left [Myanmar], because my priority was to save our lives.” (net)

Saudi Arabian corruption detainees may face terrorism-focused courts RIYADH - Saudi Arabia’s public prosecutor has begun processing the cases of 56 men detained in the country’s sweeping anti-corruption purge late last year, an official said on Sunday. The 56 are still in Saudi government custody after failing to be exonerated or reach financial settlements with the government. The shock crackdown in November 2017 saw a new Supreme Anti-Corruption Committee round up 381 corruption suspects on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s orders, with many confined and interrogated. Just 30 or so of the men’s identities were released. The list of names included top officials, members of the Saudi royal family, and global investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. More than 2,000 bank accounts were frozen and private jets were grounded as detainees were rounded up and, in many cases, held in Riyadh’s opulent Ritz-Carlton hotel. In January, Saudi Arabia’s attorney general released a statement saying it had completed its review of cases and would release all those who had paid settlements or against whom it did not have enough evidence.

A figure opposing refurbishment of Rambutsiwi Temple THE DEATH of Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta from Griya Megati Taman Sari Tibu Sambi, due to toppled over by devil tree (pule) at Kedisan, Yehembang Kauh, leaves a sorrow for Hindus in Jembrana. This Brahmin priest having common name of Ida Bagus Kade Nuarda is a populist figure in the eyes of relatives and followers in particular. Ida Pedanda who had served as Chairman of Dharmopadesa Jembrana is not reluctant to mingle without distinguishing people and firm in maintaining principle. His perseverance was seen when he was the only figure who opposed the refurbishment of Rambut Siwi Temple few years ago. So, when Ida Pedanda died especially due to such disaster, he left a very deep sorrow. Since the body was laid down at Griya Gede Megati Taman Sari, Tibu Sambi, on Saturday afternoon (Apr. 7), a number of people were

The rise of MBS It estimated the value of settlements at

400 billion Saudi riyals (more than £75 billion) “represented in various types of assets, including real estate, commercial entities, securities, cash and other assets.” On Sunday, the Saudi government announced that the public prosecutor had begun investigations and opening arguments in the corruption cases of the 56 men still in custody. According to deputy attorney general for investigations Saud al-Hamad, the charged men will be referred to court for prosecution in cases related to money laundering or terrorism. Mr Hamad said some of those under investigation hadn’t respected confidential agreements, while others committed further, as yet unspecified, offences. The anti-corruption campaign was framed as part of Mohammad bin Salman’s push to transform Saudi’s oil-dependent economy, which has been long plagued by graft, and make it more modern, diversified, and capable of withstanding diving oil prices. But critics say the blanket of secrecy that has cloaked proceedings, as well as the lack of detail on financial settlements reached, suggests it was more about gathering cash and shoring up the crown prince’s growing authority than tackling corruption.

UK government aims to streamline house sales with new measures

Estate agents will be required to obtain a professional qualification and disclose payments for referring customers to solicitors, surveyors or mortgage brokers under government plans aimed at streamline property sales. The measures announced by the housing secretary, Sajid Javid, will also discourage agents from taking part in gazumping, whereby higher offers are accepted after a deal has already been agreed. Promoted as a means of improving professionalism and cracking down on “rogue agents”, the reforms follow a consultation on how to improve the process of buying and selling property. There are about 20,000 estate agent companies in England and anyone can practice as an estate agent. Javid said buyers and sellers had been trapped in a stressful system full of delays and uncertainty for too long. London property slump most widespread since financial crisis Read more “We will require estate agents to hold a qualification so that people are no longer at risk from a minority of ‘rogue agents’ and can trust the process when buying or selling their home,” he said. Mark Hayward, the chief executive of NAEA Propertymark, which represents estate agents,

welcomed the commitment to further regulation. “We have long argued that estate agents should be recognised as professionals. This is an important step towards achieving this and we look forward to working with the government,” he said. The proposals from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government involve encouraging the use of voluntary reservation agreements to help prevent sales falling through and reduce gazumping. The new measures will also involve setting a timeline for local authority searches so buyers find the information they need within 10 days, and requiring managing agents and freeholders to provide up-to-date lease information for a set fee. An agreed timetable, it is hoped, will end the situation where leaseholders are at the mercy of freeholders and their agents. The government also intends to strengthen the National Trading Standards Estate Agency Team so that it can carry out more enforcement action, such as banning agents. Guides on how to buy and how to sell will be published to ensure customers are better informed about the process and know what questions they should be asking. (net)

Deutsche Bank has replaced John Cryan (left) with Christian Sewing (right) as chief executive with immediate effect.

Deutsche Bank ousts British CEO after two-week boardroom battle

Deutsche Bank, Germany’s biggest lender, has ousted its British chief executive, John Cryan, after years of losses and promoted the co-head of its retail banking arm to the top job. Following a two-week boardroom battle, Deutsche has appointed Christian Sewing as chief executive with immediate effect. He vowed to take “tough decisions” to return the bank to profitability. Cryan, a Yorkshireman who took the helm at Deutsche in June 2015, leaves at the end of this month, two years before his contract was due to end. Sign up to the daily Business Today email or follow Guardian Business on Twitter at @BusinessDesk Deutsche has had three years of losses, and its net loss widened in the fourth quarter. Cryan has been criticised for being too slow in pushing through cost-cutting measures at the bank, which employs 100,000 people worldwide. As part of the boardroom shake-up, Garth Ritchie will become sole head of the corporate and investment bank. He had shared the role with Marcus Schenck, who told the supervisory board before Easter that he would leave the bank after the annual meeting on 24 May. Ritchie and the executive board member Karl von Rohr were both appointed deputy CEOs.

Sewing, 47, started working for Deutsche as an apprentice in 1989 and has held roles including head of group audit and management positions in risk. He told staff in a letter published on the bank’s website that he would thoroughly analyse how Deutsche wants to position its investment bank in a difficult market environment. “The priority is to leverage our strengths and to allocate our investments accordingly. And at the same time we will look to free up capacity for growth by pulling back from those areas where we are not sufficiently profitable,” he said. Octavio Marenzi, who runs capital markets management consultancy Opimas, said there could be job losses in London as a result. “We can expect a much stronger emphasis on the domestic German market, with a focus on commer-

cial and retail banking, and wealth management. It looks like the board of directors is capitulating on the investment banking front. This will hit Deutsche Bank’s London presence particularly hard, where the bulk of its investment banking activity is based. We expect to see those activities right-sized or sold off, with attendant headcount reductions.” Deutsche’s chairman, Paul Achleitner, thanked Cryan for the “critical role” he played in his relatively short tenure as CEO. “However, following a comprehensive analysis we came to the conclusion that we need a new execution dynamic in the leadership of our bank.” Cryan took a €400,000 pay cut last year and was paid €3.4m. He and the rest of the 13-strong management board waived their bonuses for 2017, but their collective pay still rose to €29.2m from €25.9m in 2016. (net)

Kamasan Painting Comes with a Message of Life

Kamasan painting has been familiar in the ears of Balinese people. This artwork has long been a wealth of Klungkung district. Apart from its classical appearance, this painting is rich in puppet and animal stories. It is really meaningful. At Kamasan village can be found many centers of the painting activities. There are also galleries where a number of works created by the artists have been displayed since several years ago. It applies classic colors of red and brownish perfectly combined. Some paintings offer a jungle feel following a pre-established pattern. They look very lively and beautiful to look at. The work is not just an expression of the art but there is a message of life. What is scratched is not a common thing. It presents a series of pictures depicting a number of characters contained in the story. One of the themes is heroic attractions on the battlefield. It’s like giving a moral message. It is adopted from various stories, such as Mahabharata and Ramayana epic. Occasionally, the artists also express his idea inspired by animal or tantric tales. The painter Mangku Muriati Mura said that in the midst of the art development, the appearance of other paintings is very possible. Nevertheless, he does not get dissolved in that situation. His great desire to maintain the art is believed to

have emerged since the kingdom era that will not fade over the times. The norms are not neglected. Everything is still followed. “We still preserve them all,” he said, not long ago. This painting is not solely concerned with aesthetics but more than it, where it also offers strong philosophical values. His work is combined with religious elements or teachings quoted from the palm-leaf manuscripts. “We must understand the meaning, not just some scratches,” he said. Another painter, Kadek Natha, explained that in harmony with the development of times, Kamasan paint coloring began to use acrylic because natural materials are increasingly difficult to obtain. However, the classic impression

never fades. It remains to looks sharp and has divine inspiration. “Pere is one of natural dyes, a kind of stone obtained from Sakenan. Its color is yellowish brown, but now many painters have switched from this color,” he explained. Profession as painter has been pursued since he was in elementary school. His works have been widely sold. The price is fantastic and comparable to the complexity. “There is a painting sold for IDR 9 million, even more. The cheaper is also available,” he said. His paintings are no longer just scratched on canvas, but many of them have been used as hotel room ornaments. “Many hotels ask me to paint in classical style,” said Natha. (kmb)

Hindu community in Bali will celebrate Saraswati feast day on Saturday (Jan. 21) and Banyupinaruh Day on Sunday (Jan. 22). Both feast days fall every six months (210 days). Saraswati Day falling on Saniscara Umanis Watugunung aims to worship the Goddess Saraswati as the creator of science. On that day, pupils, college students, teachers, lecturers, priests and other Hindu communities perform worship. All manuscripts mainly palm-leaf manuscripts, the Vedas, religious literature and books as source of knowledge are consecrated and given the offerings. By and large, books are consecrated on satvika time when the sun rises. At that time, the atmosphere is very calm and sunny. In the meantime, rajasika time (noon, turbulent time) and tamasika time (evening, time of dimmer) are considered not good. “Goddess Saraswati is symbolized as a very beautiful and charming goddess. This implies that science is beautiful because it can lead humans to perfect well-being,” said Jero Mangku Ketut Arthana. Goddess Saraswati has four hands and each carries beads (rosary), manuscript, veena (musical instrument) and kumbhaja (lotus). Besides, she also has vehicle in the form of lotus accompanied by peacock and swan. “On the Saraswati day, Hindu devotees are generally not allowed to read a book as they are carrying abstinence of Saraswati in the low, intermediate and high level,” he said. For Hindus, the Saraswati feast day is the coming down of science celebrated by the presentation of offerings and worship to God as an expression of gratitude. In a series of the ceremony, devotees prepare herbal drink and pradnyan rice. Eating the rice and consuming the herbal drink symbolize to experience the ups and down of life. “By bringing together all the flavors, it is believed to create a peaceful mind,” he said.

Balinese community celebrates Saraswati uniquely because on the next day there is also a series of ceremony. They consist of Banyupinaruh on Redite (Sunday) Paing. “Banyupinaruh is derived from two words, namely banyu meaning ‘water’ and pinaruh meaning keweruhan or knowledge coming down on the previous day (on Saraswati) to be distributed to all parties. If developed well, it will be more beneficial,” he explained. At the ceremony of Banyupinaruh, devotees flock the springs or water sources to do self-purification. The springs means the source where the water flows from, they may be shower, lakes or seas. On that account, young people today take advantage of the Banyupinaruh feast day to travel with friends, family and girlfriend or boyfriend. Saraswati, Banyu Pinaruh, Soma Ribek on Monday (Jan. 23) and Pagerwesi on Buda Kliwon Sinta, Wednesday (Jan. 25) has close relationship to Saraswati. Celebration of the Saraswati is closely associated with Pagerwesi. If on Saraswati day the Hindus worship the Goddess Saraswati as the goddess blessing the science, in the next morning they perform Banyu Pinaruh. This holy day has a philosophy that science flows like water and cools down humans so that they need to learn it in depth. On this day, devotees do self-purification with a shower and shampoo in source of holy water such as lakes, ocean or tributaries. After the Banyupinaruh is Soma Ribek, meaning that when humans have already obtained the knowledge and possessed skills, they will be very valuable when they are used positively in order to bring in changes to society. Ultimately, Pagerwesi is a celebration after humans apply their knowledge so that they can become quality teachers (role model) in delivering their knowledge to the broadest community. (kmb)

Viktor Orban... From page 1

‘Mass immigration rejected once again’ Orban, who is already the country’s longest serving-leader since the fall of communism in 1989, has long been a thorn in the side of the European Union with Sunday’s vote likely to mean further clashes between Budapest and Brussels over the next four years. Refugees try to live under hard conditions in a tent camp as Hungary closes its Serbia and Croatia borders with razor wire fence, near Csongrad, Hungary on Hungary’s presidential election had been viewed by some external observers as a test to discover exactly how strong Europe’s populist pulse was beating, especially in the wake of success for anti-establishment parties in Italy last month. Following Orban’s resounding

electoral victory, Policy Solutions’ Biro-Nagy said that a common solution to the ongoing migration crisis would be “unthinkable.” Meanwhile, far-right parties in other areas of Europe — most notably Poland — would probably be “emboldened” by the outcome. Shortly after Orban’s Fidesz party claimed victory Sunday, Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Front, tweeted her congratulations to Hungary’s premier. “Mass immigration promoted by the EU has been rejected once again,” she said. After joining the EU in 2004, Budapest has frequently been at loggerheads with Brussels. The former communist state has often been criticized for looking to assert its influence over courts, the media and other independent institutions. (net)

65 million people at risk of falling into poverty

GAZA - Hundreds attended the funeral of a well-known Palestinian journalist in Gaza on Saturday who was killed while covering mass protests along the Israeli border the previous day. Yasser Murtaja died from a gunshot wound he sustained while filming Friday in an area engulfed in thick black smoke from protesters setting tires on fire. Israeli troops opened fire from across the border, killing at least nine Palestinians and wounding 491 others in the second mass border protest in eight days. The deaths brought to at least 31 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since last week. The border area appeared calm Saturday. Witnesses said Murtaja was over 100 meters (yards) from the border, wearing a flak jacket marked “press” and holding his camera when he was shot in an exposed area just below the armpit. The Israeli military has said it fired only at “instigators” involved in attacks on soldiers and was investigating Murtaja’s death amid a very hectic environment. Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since a 2007 takeover and calls for Israel’s destruction, has called for a series of protests until May 15, the anniversary of Israel’s founding when Palestinians commemorate their mass uprooting during the 1948 war over Israel’s creation.

4 hurt after knifewielding man attacks Indianapolis crowd

INDIANAPOLIS — A knife-wielding man injured three people in an attack in downtown Indianapolis after being told to stop playing a siren on a bullhorn, authorities said Sunday. Four people, including the suspect, were hospitalized after the attack Saturday afternoon on the American Legion Mall and outside the Central Library located across the street. Two were in critical condition and two in serious condition, Indianapolis Fire Department Battalion Chief Rita Reith said. Gary Madison, 57, of Indianapolis faces three preliminary charges of battery by means of a deadly weapon, jail records showed. Taylor George told The Indianapolis Star she was with a group of family and friends, enjoying a sunny day, when the man rode up on a bicycle, got off and began playing a siren on a bullhorn.

George said she and a female friend asked him to stop. She said her friend has epilepsy and worried the noise would trigger a seizure. George said no one in the group knew the man, but they had seen him downtown before. “He has been down here before with the bullhorn, but usually he uses it” to talk, George said.After being told to stop, the man immediately pulled out a knife and tried to stab her and her friend, George said. George, who is pregnant, said the blade came within inches of her stomach. As the two dodged the man, George said, he threw his bike at them and other members in the group. “He pulled his knife out of his

pocket and when he couldn’t get us with the knife, he threw his bike at us. And that’s when my family members and friends tried to stop him,” George said. Four men in her group rushed the suspect. One of her friends was stabbed in the stomach and two in their arms, she said. The suspect stabbed himself in the abdomen accidentally, George said. After the fight, another member of the group held the suspect until police arrived, she said.“I was really scared,” George said. “I thought I was going to get stabbed.” James Anderson Jr., 28; Edward Lee Atkins, 26; and Johnny Gilson, 46, were injured in the attack, a police report said.

“They have to dredge their pockets to buy medicines, especially those suffering from diseases, such as heart problems and diabetes,” Singh noted in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday. Singh further highlighted the need for serious efforts to increase the availability of human resources in the health sector and to hone the skills of health workers and support personnel. It is also necessary to ensure that health workers and support personnel are willing to work in rural and inaccessible areas to ensure quality health services for everyone, regardless of the location they are in. “Nearly half of the population in Southeast Asia still does not have full access to basic health services,”

Singh added. Singh noted that the underprivileged and rural communities had more limited access as compared to those belonging to the higher income bracket and living in urban areas. Hence, the World Health Organization has invited all member states in Southeast Asia to step up efforts towards universal health coverage to provide quality healthcare services for everyone, at any time, and in any location, without any financial difficulties. This is in accordance with this year`s theme of “Coverage of Universal Health: For Every Citizen, Where It Is” for World Health Day that is celebrated annually on Apr 7.(ant)

Elections should not tarnish relations: President SUKABUMI - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) appealed to the public not to damage their relationship only because of differences of opinion and choice in the implementation of elections. “The people`s democracy fiesta is held every five years, so it should be utilized in finding leaders who are worthy to lead, but it should not damage relationships,” Jokowi said in Sukabumi on Sunday. He said that some regions are preparing regional head election stages such as the elections of mayors, district heads and governors. The people must compete to find the right figure to be the leader. However, do not let the competition cause problems such as bullying, spreading of hoax news, SARA (sensitive issues of religious, social, ethics and group differences) and others so that friends become enemies and not

get greeting with each others only because of the election. Next year the legislative and presidential elections will take place, the differences of choice should not lead to disrupted security and divisiveness. Indonesia is a big nation with thousands of tribes, cultures, languages ??and islands. Do not get divided because of the difference in the election. “The election should not leave grudge. We must unite again to advance this nation. Whoever wins or loses must pay mutual respect,” he added. At the end of his speech, President Jokowi invited all elements in society to maintain unity and integrity. If there is a problem, it should be resolved with cool head. In addition, do not want to be provoked by unscrupulous people who want to divide this nation and disrupt the stability of the country.(ant)

Wasn’t F1 in 2018 meant to be the Lewis Hamilton show?

BAHRAIN - The battle to become the first driver of the modern generation to win a fifth world title just got really interesting. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton started the season as the hot favourite to beat his rival Sebastian Vettel to the achievement, but the Ferrari driver now has a 17-point lead after victories in the first two races of the season. Vettel’s win in Bahrain on Sunday demonstrated both the size of the task facing Hamilton and the incredibly high level of competition at the front of the field between these two all-time greats. Hamilton was pleased to rescue a podium finish in third place from

a race he started ninth, survived a collision with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and pulled off a spectacular overtaking move that saw him pass three cars in almost one manoeuvre. But the 49th victory of Vettel’s career was right up there with the very best he has ever achieved, a masterclass in control and calm under intense pressure brought about by a cunning attempt by Mercedes’ strategists to overcome what, at least before the race, appeared to be a faster car.

How did Vettel do it? Vettel looked in complete control of the race until Mercedes put his pursuer Valtteri Bottas on the same one-stop strategy as Hamilton. It was a devilishly clever move and it left Ferrari with an agonising decision. Stick to their plan of a two-stop or try to make the tyres last? Pit again, and Vettel would have to pass both Mercedes out on track. Stay out and he would be asking ‘soft’-compound tyres to do 39 laps - 30% longer than the recommended maximum life. Vettel said: “By them going on to the medium, I thought: ‘That’s checkmate.’ Because [at that point] we had to come in again. It was a

great strategy and put us under a lot of pressure.” Ferrari said they were always open to the idea of keeping Vettel out, but the unlikelihood of it working can be judged by the fact that it was their ‘plan D’ - their fourth-best pre-race strategy. Vettel made his first and only stop on lap 18 and fitted soft tyres that were expected to last only 30 laps. There were 39 to go. On softer tyres, he should have been much faster than Bottas behind him on mediums, but the pace differential was not that big and by lap 30 there was nothing to choose between them on lap time. Ferrari kept their options open

as long as they could, but the final turning point was team-mate Kimi Raikkonen’s second stop from third place on lap 35, when something went badly wrong. The left rear was stuck. Raikkonen was given the ‘go’ signal before the wheel had even been taken off. He bowled over a mechanic, who suffered a nasty leg fracture, and was forced to stop in the pit lane. That meant the pit lane was out of use for Ferrari for a key period of time, by which point the opportunity to pit Vettel and give him sufficient time to have a realistic chance of chasing down both Mercedes was effectively gone. He had to make staying out work. (net)

SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO Italy’s Valentino Rossi has accused Marc Marquez of deliberately crashing into riders at the Argentina MotoGP, saying he is “scared” to race with him. Spain’s Marquez finished in 18th after being given a 30-second penalty for clashing with Rossi as he tried to overtake during the race, which was won by Britain’s Cal Crutchlow. Nine-time champion Rossi, who finished 19th, accused the current MotoGP champion of “destroying” the sport. Marquez said Rossi’s claims were wrong. Earlier in the race, which was delayed by heavy rain, Honda rider Marquez was penalised for mak-

ing contact with compatriot Aleix Espargaro. The four-time champion had started at the back of the grid for riding the wrong way down the track before the delayed start. Rossi said: “Because he [Marquez] does it purposely, it is not a mistake. So if you start to play like this, you raise the level to a very dangerous point. “I’m scared on the track when I am with Marquez.” Marquez was seen trying to apologise to Rossi after the race, but was ushered away by Movistar Yamaha staff without speaking to the 39-year-old. When asked about the Italian’s comments, Marquez said he was “completely disappointed”. “In my career I never, never,

never go straight to a rider thinking that he will crash. Always I try to avoid,” he said. “Today what happened with Valentino was a mistake, a consequence of the track conditions because I locked the front. “But in my career, what he’s saying, I think is wrong.” Rossi, who urged MotoGP to take action against Marquez, added: “This is a very bad situation, because he destroyed our sport, because he doesn’t have any respect for his rivals, never.” In 2015 both riders were summoned to a meeting amid a “damaging feud” between the two after Rossi knocked Marquez off his bike during the Malaysian Grand Prix in October that year.

Sp rt Jupp Heynckes’s return makes Bayern into slick champions once again

For Bayern Munich, Mia san Mia – the Bavarian dialect and the club’s motto, a slogan for their unerring unity – became Mia san Meister, commonplace these days, after they racked up their sixth successive Bundesliga title. The cries of campeones, that could be heard from inside a throbbing away dressing room at the Augsburg Arena and the conga, led by Juan Bernat and Rafinha, that snaked around the pitch, in front of those delirious supporters cherishing another domestic crown, are the fruits of another season that, for a club defined by trophies, is only just starting. In-house, however, celebrations were purposely low-key. The players embraced, enjoyed a post-match (non-alcoholic) beer, according to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, or two, but, generally, this was a brief kind of bliss, more so a nod to having scribbled a tick in the box. Yes, they boogied to Billie Jean and Stayin’ Alive and they clearly enjoyed the occasion, cradling a championship shield made of cardboard, without prolonging the party. For Bayern and Jupp Heynckes, the 72-year-old manager who is expected to call it quits – again – in the summer, it is still possible to replicate the incredible treble they managed five years ago. It is no surprise then that Bild billed Heynckes, who has won 19 of 22 league matches this season, as the Vater des Erfolgs (the father of success) and Kicker described him as Der Baumeister, the master architect, a man who, to use its analogy, “made a stuttering Ferrari slick again”. If Bayern can sweep aside Sevilla, they will reach the semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday, and possibly the DFB-Pokal final

the week after. As proved by the pre-cursor to sealing the title, that 6-0 demolition job against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern are, as many feared, champions in their own stratosphere. Hence why, this week, Uli Hoeness scoffed at the idea of introducing play-offs in a bid to make the division more exciting, less predictable. In some quarters, Bayern’s 28th German championship is regarded as ein Armutszeugnis, a damning indictment of the state of the Bundesliga. As Franck Ribery, who clinched his eighth title on his 35th birthday put it, by winning the league they have merely achieved their first objective this season. “The joy was already there,” Thomas Müller said, adamant he and his team-mates are determined to celebrate, “but only in May.” The overarching aim, underwritten by Bayern’s staff and players is to become des Dauerchampions, perennial winners. Ribery and Arjen Robben – at the club for nine and 10 years respectively – are expected to earn new contracts, the chief executive Rummenigge all but confirmed amid the celebrations. “What we have experienced over the past six years is a dream,” Rummenigge, who said he would enjoy a

celebratory cigar at home, enthused. “Jupp has done a phenomenal job. And yet the merry-go-round continues, we still want more [trophies] this year. After an indifferent start to this campaign under Carlo Ancelotti, crushed by Paris-Saint Germain in Europe and trailing Dortmund by five points in the league, Bayern have prospered after a return to the customary-cool manner in which they dispatch teams, even when pegged back, as they were on Saturday afternoon. As Süddeutsche Zeitung painted it, the route here was “first bumpy, but then darn commanding”. But that comical own goal by Niklas Süle was never going to prove a party-pooper, for this Bayern team are scarcely spooked, rarely rattled. Post-match, Rummenigge cited the squad’s confidence – “they are not arrogant”– as well as their professionalism, while there was a classy touch by Heynckes, saluting his predecessor, Carlo Ancelotti. “He is not only an outstanding coach but also an outstanding person,” Heynckes said, before Ancelotti returned the niceties. In six months, Bayern’s tried and tested formula, almost a back-tobasics approach has unequivocally paid off. Previously on their way out, Ribery and Robben, whose current contracts expire in June, have relished the responsibility of being entrusted to do damage in the future, alongside Sandro Wagner, who has five goals in five starts since arriving from Hoffenheim in January. In central midfield, Javi Martínez has flourished defensively and, slightly further forward, Arturo Vidal has too, adding goals to his game. At the back, Heynckes has strengthened the centre-back partnership between Mats Hummels and Jérôme Boateng, re-established as one of the meanest pairings around in recent weeks. In goal, Heynckes has had to rely on the previously derided Sven Ulreich – having been unable to call upon Manuel Neuer, who returned to training this week – and even the 37-yearold, already once retired (does that

sound familiar?) Tom Starke. For the reserves, and those who did not feature in Augsburg, including Robert Lewandowski and Thiago Alcântara, there was a training session at 10am on Sunday, and on Monday the total focus returns to entertaining Sevilla. “We’ll find an opportunity to celebrate later and do it hard,” Heynckes, whose eyes were wet as he stood, soaking up the supporters’ joy at full-time, said. For Sule, Sebastian Rudy and the again impressive James Rodríguez, this was a maiden title they will never forget. The Fiver: the Guardian’s take on the world of football Read more As the away fans incessantly

chanted “Jupp, Jupp, Jupp, Jupp” from the stands in Augsburg at the final whistle, it was even harder to fathom a amusing pre-match anecdote, courtesy of Heynckes himself, who excitedly returned to the top table to speak to journalists after finishing his press conference. “I got into the lift this morning in my hotel, and on the fifth floor an old couple got in with three suitcases,” Heynckes said on Friday, of an encounter with American tourists. “It was quite cramped inside. He was quiet but she was friendly and said ‘good morning’, so I said ‘good morning’ back. I was holding a Bayern Munich bag so she asked: ‘Oh, are you a Bayern Munich fan?’ “I said: ‘Yes, sure’.”(afp)

FA Cup win ‘not enough to save season’ - Cesar Azpilicueta Winning the FA Cup will not be enough to “save” Chelsea’s season, defender Cesar Azpilicueta said after a 1-1 draw with West Ham damaged his club’s hopes of a top-four Premier League finish. Sunday’s draw leaves the defending champions 10 points behind Liverpool and Tottenham in third and fourth. It means they are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League for the second time in three years. “We are further away than ever,” Azpilicueta said. Former manager Jose Mourinho was sacked during the 2015-16 season, when the then champions finished 10th in the Premier League. Questions now abound about the future of current boss Antonio Conte, who has presided over a frustrating campaign after winning the title last year. With six games left, Chelsea can still mathematically reach the Champions League, although that would require a collapse from both Liverpool (who have five games remaining) and Tottenham (who have six games to play). Chelsea

face Southampton next Sunday in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, but even if they were to go on and win the competition, it would be scant consolation in the eyes of Azpilicueta. “The FA Cup is a massive trophy with a lot of history but it’s not enough for us,” the 28-year-old Spanish defender told BBC Match of the Day. “We will try to win it but the cup will not save our season.” Azpilicueta, whose firsthalf goal on Sunday was cancelled out by Javier Hernandez’s equaliser in the second half, added: “To get a draw at home in another London derby is really frustrating for all of us and all of the fans. We are not happy. “What matters is the score at the end, I am frustrated today, we should be able to win this game. “We controlled the game, we created enough chances to win but we struggled at the end and maybe they could have scored the winner. It’s becoming harder and harder every game it goes on.”(afp)

Maybe it is my fault - Man City goal collapses worrying Guardiola Surely not Messi to PSG? Neymar teases ‘big’ announcement The PSG star posted a cryptic message to Twitter about his former Barcelona team-mate, saying to “stay tuned”. Something big between Neymar and former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi is apparently about to happen. That is according to Paris SaintGermain star Neymar, who left Camp Nou last August for a record €222 million deal with the Ligue 1 giants. Neymar – recovering from a fractured foot ahead of the World Cup in Brazil – posted a cryptic message to Twitter on Sunday. In a tweet including a photo of the pair, Neymar wrote: “When me and my friend #LeoMessi get together great things happen! I’ll be telling you more very soon, stay tuned!” It remains to be seen if the message involves the duo reuniting on the pitch, refers to commercial matters away from the field, or even relates to something else entirely. Messi also added a goal in Barcelona’s 4-1 first-leg home win over Roma in the Champions League quarter-finals with the club looking to book their passage to the next round on Tuesday. Meanwhile, while Neymar dominated Ligue 1 this year to the tune of 19 goals and 13 assists in just 20 games in the French top division, it was same old PSG in the Champions League as they were bounced by Real Madrid in the round of 16. The Brazil star played the first leg, but missed the second leg due to his injury.(afp)

MANCHESTER - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola concedes he must solve vulnerabilities in his teams when it comes to conceding clusters of goals in quick succession. City passed up the chance to seal the Premier League title in memorable style on Saturday as they let a 2-0 half-time lead against Manchester United crumble, their bitter rivals going on to a 3-2 victory that stunned an Etihad Stadium primed for celebration. Paul Pogba netted twice in the space of 97 seconds to cancel out City’s goals from Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan with 55 minutes on the clock and Chris Smalling headed a 69th-minute winner. That 16-minute collapse followed three Liverpool goals in the space of 19 first-half minutes at Anfield last Wednesday, leaving City facing a

daunting 3-0 deficit in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal next week. A similar nightmare spell brought about City’s only other defeat to Premier League opposition this term – a 4-3 reverse at Anfield in January – and Guardiola acknowledged this anomaly is a concern that has haunted him previously in his coaching career. “I thought many times about that. I dropped a lot of Champions League games in 10 or 15 minutes and I think about that,” he told reporters before recalling how a Lionel Messiinspired Barcelona took apart his Bayern Munich late in the first leg of a 2015 semi-final. “Barcelona, 0-0 after 77 minutes; 90, 3-0. It’s happened many times,” Guardiola continued. “Maybe it is my fault. I have to think about it but I feel that when you dominate

and create chances you are closer to winning the games. “I think this season showed that with the numbers we have done in terms of goals and - when the team is stable - the chances we concede. “I think we are the best with these type of players. We concede few. But it is impossible when the opponents arrive four times and score three goals. No system can sustain that. It’s so complicated.” With the opportunity for a moraleboosting win ahead of their mission improbable against Liverpool passed up, Guardiola accepts the derby collapse could linger over City’s midweek efforts. “Yeah, it can happen,” he said. “It’s difficult in itself [beating Liverpool] and it’s difficult for our mood not winning against United. “But maybe we will improve for the future on that, to realise that sometimes it’s not enough, what you are able to do, to win the games.(afp)

Wasn’t F1 in 2018 meant to be the Lewis Hamilton show?

BAHRAIN - The battle to become the first driver of the modern generation to win a fifth world title just got really interesting. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton started the season as the hot favourite to beat his rival Sebastian Vettel to the achievement, but the Ferrari driver now has a 17-point lead after victories in the first two races of the season. Vettel’s win in Bahrain on Sunday demonstrated both the size of the task facing Hamilton and the incredibly high level of competition at the front of the field between these two all-time greats. Hamilton was pleased to rescue a podium finish in third place from

a race he started ninth, survived a collision with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and pulled off a spectacular overtaking move that saw him pass three cars in almost one manoeuvre. But the 49th victory of Vettel’s career was right up there with the very best he has ever achieved, a masterclass in control and calm under intense pressure brought about by a cunning attempt by Mercedes’ strategists to overcome what, at least before the race, appeared to be a faster car.

How did Vettel do it? Vettel looked in complete control of the race until Mercedes put his pursuer Valtteri Bottas on the same one-stop strategy as Hamilton. It was a devilishly clever move and it left Ferrari with an agonising decision. Stick to their plan of a two-stop or try to make the tyres last? Pit again, and Vettel would have to pass both Mercedes out on track. Stay out and he would be asking ‘soft’-compound tyres to do 39 laps - 30% longer than the recommended maximum life. Vettel said: “By them going on to the medium, I thought: ‘That’s checkmate.’ Because [at that point] we had to come in again. It was a

great strategy and put us under a lot of pressure.” Ferrari said they were always open to the idea of keeping Vettel out, but the unlikelihood of it working can be judged by the fact that it was their ‘plan D’ - their fourth-best pre-race strategy. Vettel made his first and only stop on lap 18 and fitted soft tyres that were expected to last only 30 laps. There were 39 to go. On softer tyres, he should have been much faster than Bottas behind him on mediums, but the pace differential was not that big and by lap 30 there was nothing to choose between them on lap time. Ferrari kept their options open

as long as they could, but the final turning point was team-mate Kimi Raikkonen’s second stop from third place on lap 35, when something went badly wrong. The left rear was stuck. Raikkonen was given the ‘go’ signal before the wheel had even been taken off. He bowled over a mechanic, who suffered a nasty leg fracture, and was forced to stop in the pit lane. That meant the pit lane was out of use for Ferrari for a key period of time, by which point the opportunity to pit Vettel and give him sufficient time to have a realistic chance of chasing down both Mercedes was effectively gone. He had to make staying out work. (net)

SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO Italy’s Valentino Rossi has accused Marc Marquez of deliberately crashing into riders at the Argentina MotoGP, saying he is “scared” to race with him. Spain’s Marquez finished in 18th after being given a 30-second penalty for clashing with Rossi as he tried to overtake during the race, which was won by Britain’s Cal Crutchlow. Nine-time champion Rossi, who finished 19th, accused the current MotoGP champion of “destroying” the sport. Marquez said Rossi’s claims were wrong. Earlier in the race, which was delayed by heavy rain, Honda rider Marquez was penalised for mak-

ing contact with compatriot Aleix Espargaro. The four-time champion had started at the back of the grid for riding the wrong way down the track before the delayed start. Rossi said: “Because he [Marquez] does it purposely, it is not a mistake. So if you start to play like this, you raise the level to a very dangerous point. “I’m scared on the track when I am with Marquez.” Marquez was seen trying to apologise to Rossi after the race, but was ushered away by Movistar Yamaha staff without speaking to the 39-year-old. When asked about the Italian’s comments, Marquez said he was “completely disappointed”. “In my career I never, never,

never go straight to a rider thinking that he will crash. Always I try to avoid,” he said. “Today what happened with Valentino was a mistake, a consequence of the track conditions because I locked the front. “But in my career, what he’s saying, I think is wrong.” Rossi, who urged MotoGP to take action against Marquez, added: “This is a very bad situation, because he destroyed our sport, because he doesn’t have any respect for his rivals, never.” In 2015 both riders were summoned to a meeting amid a “damaging feud” between the two after Rossi knocked Marquez off his bike during the Malaysian Grand Prix in October that year.

Viktor Orban... From page 1

‘Mass immigration rejected once again’ Orban, who is already the country’s longest serving-leader since the fall of communism in 1989, has long been a thorn in the side of the European Union with Sunday’s vote likely to mean further clashes between Budapest and Brussels over the next four years. Refugees try to live under hard conditions in a tent camp as Hungary closes its Serbia and Croatia borders with razor wire fence, near Csongrad, Hungary on Hungary’s presidential election had been viewed by some external observers as a test to discover exactly how strong Europe’s populist pulse was beating, especially in the wake of success for anti-establishment parties in Italy last month. Following Orban’s resounding

electoral victory, Policy Solutions’ Biro-Nagy said that a common solution to the ongoing migration crisis would be “unthinkable.” Meanwhile, far-right parties in other areas of Europe — most notably Poland — would probably be “emboldened” by the outcome. Shortly after Orban’s Fidesz party claimed victory Sunday, Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Front, tweeted her congratulations to Hungary’s premier. “Mass immigration promoted by the EU has been rejected once again,” she said. After joining the EU in 2004, Budapest has frequently been at loggerheads with Brussels. The former communist state has often been criticized for looking to assert its influence over courts, the media and other independent institutions. (net)

65 million people at risk of falling into poverty

GAZA - Hundreds attended the funeral of a well-known Palestinian journalist in Gaza on Saturday who was killed while covering mass protests along the Israeli border the previous day. Yasser Murtaja died from a gunshot wound he sustained while filming Friday in an area engulfed in thick black smoke from protesters setting tires on fire. Israeli troops opened fire from across the border, killing at least nine Palestinians and wounding 491 others in the second mass border protest in eight days. The deaths brought to at least 31 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since last week. The border area appeared calm Saturday. Witnesses said Murtaja was over 100 meters (yards) from the border, wearing a flak jacket marked “press” and holding his camera when he was shot in an exposed area just below the armpit. The Israeli military has said it fired only at “instigators” involved in attacks on soldiers and was investigating Murtaja’s death amid a very hectic environment. Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since a 2007 takeover and calls for Israel’s destruction, has called for a series of protests until May 15, the anniversary of Israel’s founding when Palestinians commemorate their mass uprooting during the 1948 war over Israel’s creation.

4 hurt after knifewielding man attacks Indianapolis crowd

INDIANAPOLIS — A knife-wielding man injured three people in an attack in downtown Indianapolis after being told to stop playing a siren on a bullhorn, authorities said Sunday. Four people, including the suspect, were hospitalized after the attack Saturday afternoon on the American Legion Mall and outside the Central Library located across the street. Two were in critical condition and two in serious condition, Indianapolis Fire Department Battalion Chief Rita Reith said. Gary Madison, 57, of Indianapolis faces three preliminary charges of battery by means of a deadly weapon, jail records showed. Taylor George told The Indianapolis Star she was with a group of family and friends, enjoying a sunny day, when the man rode up on a bicycle, got off and began playing a siren on a bullhorn.

George said she and a female friend asked him to stop. She said her friend has epilepsy and worried the noise would trigger a seizure. George said no one in the group knew the man, but they had seen him downtown before. “He has been down here before with the bullhorn, but usually he uses it” to talk, George said.After being told to stop, the man immediately pulled out a knife and tried to stab her and her friend, George said. George, who is pregnant, said the blade came within inches of her stomach. As the two dodged the man, George said, he threw his bike at them and other members in the group. “He pulled his knife out of his

pocket and when he couldn’t get us with the knife, he threw his bike at us. And that’s when my family members and friends tried to stop him,” George said. Four men in her group rushed the suspect. One of her friends was stabbed in the stomach and two in their arms, she said. The suspect stabbed himself in the abdomen accidentally, George said. After the fight, another member of the group held the suspect until police arrived, she said.“I was really scared,” George said. “I thought I was going to get stabbed.” James Anderson Jr., 28; Edward Lee Atkins, 26; and Johnny Gilson, 46, were injured in the attack, a police report said.

“They have to dredge their pockets to buy medicines, especially those suffering from diseases, such as heart problems and diabetes,” Singh noted in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday. Singh further highlighted the need for serious efforts to increase the availability of human resources in the health sector and to hone the skills of health workers and support personnel. It is also necessary to ensure that health workers and support personnel are willing to work in rural and inaccessible areas to ensure quality health services for everyone, regardless of the location they are in. “Nearly half of the population in Southeast Asia still does not have full access to basic health services,”

Singh added. Singh noted that the underprivileged and rural communities had more limited access as compared to those belonging to the higher income bracket and living in urban areas. Hence, the World Health Organization has invited all member states in Southeast Asia to step up efforts towards universal health coverage to provide quality healthcare services for everyone, at any time, and in any location, without any financial difficulties. This is in accordance with this year`s theme of “Coverage of Universal Health: For Every Citizen, Where It Is” for World Health Day that is celebrated annually on Apr 7.(ant)

Elections should not tarnish relations: President SUKABUMI - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) appealed to the public not to damage their relationship only because of differences of opinion and choice in the implementation of elections. “The people`s democracy fiesta is held every five years, so it should be utilized in finding leaders who are worthy to lead, but it should not damage relationships,” Jokowi said in Sukabumi on Sunday. He said that some regions are preparing regional head election stages such as the elections of mayors, district heads and governors. The people must compete to find the right figure to be the leader. However, do not let the competition cause problems such as bullying, spreading of hoax news, SARA (sensitive issues of religious, social, ethics and group differences) and others so that friends become enemies and not

get greeting with each others only because of the election. Next year the legislative and presidential elections will take place, the differences of choice should not lead to disrupted security and divisiveness. Indonesia is a big nation with thousands of tribes, cultures, languages ??and islands. Do not get divided because of the difference in the election. “The election should not leave grudge. We must unite again to advance this nation. Whoever wins or loses must pay mutual respect,” he added. At the end of his speech, President Jokowi invited all elements in society to maintain unity and integrity. If there is a problem, it should be resolved with cool head. In addition, do not want to be provoked by unscrupulous people who want to divide this nation and disrupt the stability of the country.(ant)

UK government aims to streamline house sales with new measures

Estate agents will be required to obtain a professional qualification and disclose payments for referring customers to solicitors, surveyors or mortgage brokers under government plans aimed at streamline property sales. The measures announced by the housing secretary, Sajid Javid, will also discourage agents from taking part in gazumping, whereby higher offers are accepted after a deal has already been agreed. Promoted as a means of improving professionalism and cracking down on “rogue agents”, the reforms follow a consultation on how to improve the process of buying and selling property. There are about 20,000 estate agent companies in England and anyone can practice as an estate agent. Javid said buyers and sellers had been trapped in a stressful system full of delays and uncertainty for too long. London property slump most widespread since financial crisis Read more “We will require estate agents to hold a qualification so that people are no longer at risk from a minority of ‘rogue agents’ and can trust the process when buying or selling their home,” he said. Mark Hayward, the chief executive of NAEA Propertymark, which represents estate agents,

welcomed the commitment to further regulation. “We have long argued that estate agents should be recognised as professionals. This is an important step towards achieving this and we look forward to working with the government,” he said. The proposals from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government involve encouraging the use of voluntary reservation agreements to help prevent sales falling through and reduce gazumping. The new measures will also involve setting a timeline for local authority searches so buyers find the information they need within 10 days, and requiring managing agents and freeholders to provide up-to-date lease information for a set fee. An agreed timetable, it is hoped, will end the situation where leaseholders are at the mercy of freeholders and their agents. The government also intends to strengthen the National Trading Standards Estate Agency Team so that it can carry out more enforcement action, such as banning agents. Guides on how to buy and how to sell will be published to ensure customers are better informed about the process and know what questions they should be asking. (net)

Deutsche Bank has replaced John Cryan (left) with Christian Sewing (right) as chief executive with immediate effect.

Deutsche Bank ousts British CEO after two-week boardroom battle

Deutsche Bank, Germany’s biggest lender, has ousted its British chief executive, John Cryan, after years of losses and promoted the co-head of its retail banking arm to the top job. Following a two-week boardroom battle, Deutsche has appointed Christian Sewing as chief executive with immediate effect. He vowed to take “tough decisions” to return the bank to profitability. Cryan, a Yorkshireman who took the helm at Deutsche in June 2015, leaves at the end of this month, two years before his contract was due to end. Sign up to the daily Business Today email or follow Guardian Business on Twitter at @BusinessDesk Deutsche has had three years of losses, and its net loss widened in the fourth quarter. Cryan has been criticised for being too slow in pushing through cost-cutting measures at the bank, which employs 100,000 people worldwide. As part of the boardroom shake-up, Garth Ritchie will become sole head of the corporate and investment bank. He had shared the role with Marcus Schenck, who told the supervisory board before Easter that he would leave the bank after the annual meeting on 24 May. Ritchie and the executive board member Karl von Rohr were both appointed deputy CEOs.

Sewing, 47, started working for Deutsche as an apprentice in 1989 and has held roles including head of group audit and management positions in risk. He told staff in a letter published on the bank’s website that he would thoroughly analyse how Deutsche wants to position its investment bank in a difficult market environment. “The priority is to leverage our strengths and to allocate our investments accordingly. And at the same time we will look to free up capacity for growth by pulling back from those areas where we are not sufficiently profitable,” he said. Octavio Marenzi, who runs capital markets management consultancy Opimas, said there could be job losses in London as a result. “We can expect a much stronger emphasis on the domestic German market, with a focus on commer-

cial and retail banking, and wealth management. It looks like the board of directors is capitulating on the investment banking front. This will hit Deutsche Bank’s London presence particularly hard, where the bulk of its investment banking activity is based. We expect to see those activities right-sized or sold off, with attendant headcount reductions.” Deutsche’s chairman, Paul Achleitner, thanked Cryan for the “critical role” he played in his relatively short tenure as CEO. “However, following a comprehensive analysis we came to the conclusion that we need a new execution dynamic in the leadership of our bank.” Cryan took a €400,000 pay cut last year and was paid €3.4m. He and the rest of the 13-strong management board waived their bonuses for 2017, but their collective pay still rose to €29.2m from €25.9m in 2016. (net)

Kamasan Painting Comes with a Message of Life

Kamasan painting has been familiar in the ears of Balinese people. This artwork has long been a wealth of Klungkung district. Apart from its classical appearance, this painting is rich in puppet and animal stories. It is really meaningful. At Kamasan village can be found many centers of the painting activities. There are also galleries where a number of works created by the artists have been displayed since several years ago. It applies classic colors of red and brownish perfectly combined. Some paintings offer a jungle feel following a pre-established pattern. They look very lively and beautiful to look at. The work is not just an expression of the art but there is a message of life. What is scratched is not a common thing. It presents a series of pictures depicting a number of characters contained in the story. One of the themes is heroic attractions on the battlefield. It’s like giving a moral message. It is adopted from various stories, such as Mahabharata and Ramayana epic. Occasionally, the artists also express his idea inspired by animal or tantric tales. The painter Mangku Muriati Mura said that in the midst of the art development, the appearance of other paintings is very possible. Nevertheless, he does not get dissolved in that situation. His great desire to maintain the art is believed to

have emerged since the kingdom era that will not fade over the times. The norms are not neglected. Everything is still followed. “We still preserve them all,” he said, not long ago. This painting is not solely concerned with aesthetics but more than it, where it also offers strong philosophical values. His work is combined with religious elements or teachings quoted from the palm-leaf manuscripts. “We must understand the meaning, not just some scratches,” he said. Another painter, Kadek Natha, explained that in harmony with the development of times, Kamasan paint coloring began to use acrylic because natural materials are increasingly difficult to obtain. However, the classic impression

never fades. It remains to looks sharp and has divine inspiration. “Pere is one of natural dyes, a kind of stone obtained from Sakenan. Its color is yellowish brown, but now many painters have switched from this color,” he explained. Profession as painter has been pursued since he was in elementary school. His works have been widely sold. The price is fantastic and comparable to the complexity. “There is a painting sold for IDR 9 million, even more. The cheaper is also available,” he said. His paintings are no longer just scratched on canvas, but many of them have been used as hotel room ornaments. “Many hotels ask me to paint in classical style,” said Natha. (kmb)

Hindu community in Bali will celebrate Saraswati feast day on Saturday (Jan. 21) and Banyupinaruh Day on Sunday (Jan. 22). Both feast days fall every six months (210 days). Saraswati Day falling on Saniscara Umanis Watugunung aims to worship the Goddess Saraswati as the creator of science. On that day, pupils, college students, teachers, lecturers, priests and other Hindu communities perform worship. All manuscripts mainly palm-leaf manuscripts, the Vedas, religious literature and books as source of knowledge are consecrated and given the offerings. By and large, books are consecrated on satvika time when the sun rises. At that time, the atmosphere is very calm and sunny. In the meantime, rajasika time (noon, turbulent time) and tamasika time (evening, time of dimmer) are considered not good. “Goddess Saraswati is symbolized as a very beautiful and charming goddess. This implies that science is beautiful because it can lead humans to perfect well-being,” said Jero Mangku Ketut Arthana. Goddess Saraswati has four hands and each carries beads (rosary), manuscript, veena (musical instrument) and kumbhaja (lotus). Besides, she also has vehicle in the form of lotus accompanied by peacock and swan. “On the Saraswati day, Hindu devotees are generally not allowed to read a book as they are carrying abstinence of Saraswati in the low, intermediate and high level,” he said. For Hindus, the Saraswati feast day is the coming down of science celebrated by the presentation of offerings and worship to God as an expression of gratitude. In a series of the ceremony, devotees prepare herbal drink and pradnyan rice. Eating the rice and consuming the herbal drink symbolize to experience the ups and down of life. “By bringing together all the flavors, it is believed to create a peaceful mind,” he said.

Balinese community celebrates Saraswati uniquely because on the next day there is also a series of ceremony. They consist of Banyupinaruh on Redite (Sunday) Paing. “Banyupinaruh is derived from two words, namely banyu meaning ‘water’ and pinaruh meaning keweruhan or knowledge coming down on the previous day (on Saraswati) to be distributed to all parties. If developed well, it will be more beneficial,” he explained. At the ceremony of Banyupinaruh, devotees flock the springs or water sources to do self-purification. The springs means the source where the water flows from, they may be shower, lakes or seas. On that account, young people today take advantage of the Banyupinaruh feast day to travel with friends, family and girlfriend or boyfriend. Saraswati, Banyu Pinaruh, Soma Ribek on Monday (Jan. 23) and Pagerwesi on Buda Kliwon Sinta, Wednesday (Jan. 25) has close relationship to Saraswati. Celebration of the Saraswati is closely associated with Pagerwesi. If on Saraswati day the Hindus worship the Goddess Saraswati as the goddess blessing the science, in the next morning they perform Banyu Pinaruh. This holy day has a philosophy that science flows like water and cools down humans so that they need to learn it in depth. On this day, devotees do self-purification with a shower and shampoo in source of holy water such as lakes, ocean or tributaries. After the Banyupinaruh is Soma Ribek, meaning that when humans have already obtained the knowledge and possessed skills, they will be very valuable when they are used positively in order to bring in changes to society. Ultimately, Pagerwesi is a celebration after humans apply their knowledge so that they can become quality teachers (role model) in delivering their knowledge to the broadest community. (kmb)

Cattle population in Karangasem drops 10,000 heads

AMLAPURA - Volcanic activities of Mount Agung had a significant impact on the condition of Bali cattle population in Karangasem. Based on the data from the Karangasem Agriculture Agency, the current cattle population approximately reaches 117,000 heads.

Head of the Karangasem Agricultural Agency, I Wayan Supandi, said on Sunday (Apr. 8) that such significant population declined due to having been sold. Breeders especially in disaster-prone areas (KRB) are busy selling their cows for fear of big losses if their cattle died due to volcanic activities. “We obtain the data on the decline from the results of field checks conducted by the Bali Livestock Agency. The decline is not due to death but having been sold,” he said. According to Supandi, before the panic triggered by the rising alert status of Mount Agung, the population of Bali cattle in Karangasem continued to increase. This is supported by the availability of adequate feed. The population is quite dense in the areas of Rendang, Bebandem and Selat. The latest data before the alert status of Mount Agung was increased to warning the cattle population reached 127,000 heads. He added there was no direct impact of volcanic ash exposure or poisonous gas of Mount Agung eruption causing the death of cattle. The death case of cattle at that time only amounted to one or two that happened during the process of transportation. In addition to death, there was also a broken cow and due to illness or other causes. In addition to the allegation of having been sold, the cattle population decline in Karangasem also happens because there are still residents of disaster-prone area that have not repatriated their cattle from daycare. For instance, I Nyoman Wirama, 47, from Besakih, some of his cattle were sold during the panicky condition when facing the Mount Agung eruption but some of his cattle are entrusted to relatives in Marga subdistrict, Tabanan. “The cattle have been entrusted there. It will be bothering if they must be brought back and forth. Besides, the Mount Agung has not been fully normal,” he said on

Refugees Fleeing Violence In Myanmar Have A New Worry: Elephants

KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh ? Around midnight on Jan. 19, a heavy sound jolted Anwar Begum out of her sleep. Something was breaking down the bamboo beams holding up her makeshift hut in a refugee camp for displaced Rohingya in southeastern Bangladesh. Her husband, Yakub Ali, thought it was someone trying to break in.

IBP/kmb

Based on the data from the Karangasem Agriculture Agency, the current cattle population approximately reaches 117,000 heads. Sunday (Apr. 8). Unstable condition of Mount Agung also causes farmers to think twice to raise cattle again. Currently, residents in the disaster-prone areas indeed start to buying calves, but not as much as before. Breeders in the area previously had cows

up to tens of heads, but now they do not dare to buy calves in large quantities even though the current price of calves is quite stable. The price of male calves ranges from IDR 7 million to IDR 8 million per head, while female ones range from IDR 4.5 million to IDR 6.5 million per head. (kmb)

Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta

Suddenly, the central pillar broke, hitting Begum in the head. Dazed, she pulled herself out from under the collapsed hut. Once outside, she realized that it wasn’t a person destroying their house but an elephant. As the massive animal lunged again, Begum squeezed between its legs and ran to safety. Her screams had woken up the neighbors, who helped save Begum’s two young children from the rubble. Her husband wasn’t as lucky. When Begum looked back inside her demolished home, there were splinters of bamboo sticking out of his body. “Blood was flowing everywhere,” she said in a recent interview. Begum, 40, is one of more than 688,000 Rohingya who have been forced out of Myanmar’s western Rakhine State and into neighboring Bangladesh since Aug. 25, 2017. Although the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group, have lived in Rakhine for centuries, the

Myanmar government does not recognize them as citizens, and the violence against them has escalated over the last eight months. Many Rohingya have sought shelter in Bangladesh. But living in Bangladesh brings new threats ? including encounters with elephants. Kutupalong, the largest and oldest camp in the Rohingya refugee district, sits squarely within one of the most traveled corridors of the endangered Asian elephant. Approximately 5.4 square miles of forest have been cleared to make room for new settlements, and the land-clearing continues as humanitarian and government agencies prepare to move some refugees elsewhere in preparation for monsoon season. Because elephants tend to follow known routes, they plough through any obstacles they encounter. Elephants have killed an estimated 13 Rohingya refugees in the area around Kutupalong, a

For instance, they are from Griya Kusara, Griya Megati, Griya Taman Sari-Tabanan, Griya Kutuh, Griya Dalung, Griya Penida, Griya Manistutu and Griya Bedulu. As a Sulinggih, other than people in Jembrana, Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta also often serves residents in East Java to South Sumatera. “He often chose to mingle with people. Wherever he is, he does not want to be placed in special places even though he is provided,” said Ida Ayu Kade Mudarni, 38, the second daughter of the late on Sunday (Apr. 8/). Accompanied by her husband, Ida Bagus Komang Susrama Megati, Murdani said the most memorable advice is not to keep a distance from the followers although having position as Brahmin priest (sulinggih). He has great ideal to unite the Hindus.

Since undergoing padiksan (initiation into Brahmin priest) with his wife, Ida Pedanda Istri Rai Oka, in 2002 through his spiritual teacher, Ida Pedanda from Griya Gede Sibang, Badung, Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta has served as Brahmin priest in the Jembrana district government during the reign of Jembrana Regent I Gede Winasa. Though holding such position at the time, Ida Pedanda also firmly opposed any policies considered to violate the order. One of them was the effort to refurbish the Rambutsiwi Temple that raised the pros and cons among the people in Bali then. Mudarni claimed to have no inkling until the emergence of the disaster. On that day, her father’s activities were like on normal days. After waking up in the morning before sunrise, he always does surya sewana (morning prayers for the universe). At 08:00 local time,

he went to Kedisan hamlet, Yehembang Kauh to officiate over the procession of invoking devil tree. In addition to her, the death of her father also left his wife, Ida Pedanda Istri Rai Oka, 55, and two daughters namely Ida Ayu Putu Murtini, 39, and Ida Ayu Komang Gunarini, 27. After the disaster, his body was laid down. According to her, relatives also have redeemed his soul (nebus) to location of the collapsed devil tree at Kedisan village intersection and Negara Hospital. From the results of consultation to his spiritual teacher at Griya Sibang Kaja, the procession of the ritual will begin on April 15 (bathing the deceased body), April 27 (cremation) and April 30 (mamukur). As reported earlier, Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta died after toppled over by a part of devil tree in the procession of invoking tree at Kedisan. Trunk of the tree of

about 27 meters tall and five meters in diameter was split few moments after a number of carpenters took some parts of the tree trunk for the making of sacred mask. Headman of Munduk Anggrek Kaja, I Made Artana, admitted to be also very struck with the disaster. The tree originally planned to make sanctified effigy of Ida Bhatara Sesuhanan at Puseh Temple of Munduk Anggrek Kaja was unexpectedly collapsed. The procession of invoking the tree has actually planned for a year. During the process, the customary village always asks for instructions from Ida Pedanda (the deceased). Last Saturday, in the procession was only taken two limbs of the tree. After the disaster, based on the guidance of the griya, it was suggested to burn and repeat the invocation procession. He also told if the limb of the tree has been washed away on Yehembang Beach. (olo)

they also live in Myanmar. “I knew there would be elephants in Bangladesh because there’s also forest there,” she said. “But I wasn’t so worried about that when I left [Myanmar], because my priority was to save our lives.” (net)

Saudi Arabian corruption detainees may face terrorism-focused courts RIYADH - Saudi Arabia’s public prosecutor has begun processing the cases of 56 men detained in the country’s sweeping anti-corruption purge late last year, an official said on Sunday. The 56 are still in Saudi government custody after failing to be exonerated or reach financial settlements with the government. The shock crackdown in November 2017 saw a new Supreme Anti-Corruption Committee round up 381 corruption suspects on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s orders, with many confined and interrogated. Just 30 or so of the men’s identities were released. The list of names included top officials, members of the Saudi royal family, and global investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. More than 2,000 bank accounts were frozen and private jets were grounded as detainees were rounded up and, in many cases, held in Riyadh’s opulent Ritz-Carlton hotel. In January, Saudi Arabia’s attorney general released a statement saying it had completed its review of cases and would release all those who had paid settlements or against whom it did not have enough evidence.

A figure opposing refurbishment of Rambutsiwi Temple THE DEATH of Ida Pedanda Gede Oka Sidanta from Griya Megati Taman Sari Tibu Sambi, due to toppled over by devil tree (pule) at Kedisan, Yehembang Kauh, leaves a sorrow for Hindus in Jembrana. This Brahmin priest having common name of Ida Bagus Kade Nuarda is a populist figure in the eyes of relatives and followers in particular. Ida Pedanda who had served as Chairman of Dharmopadesa Jembrana is not reluctant to mingle without distinguishing people and firm in maintaining principle. His perseverance was seen when he was the only figure who opposed the refurbishment of Rambut Siwi Temple few years ago. So, when Ida Pedanda died especially due to such disaster, he left a very deep sorrow. Since the body was laid down at Griya Gede Megati Taman Sari, Tibu Sambi, on Saturday afternoon (Apr. 7), a number of people were

400 billion Saudi riyals (more than £75 billion) “represented in various types of assets, including real estate, commercial entities, securities, cash and other assets.” On Sunday, the Saudi government announced that the public prosecutor had begun investigations and opening arguments in the corruption cases of the 56 men still in custody. According to deputy attorney general for investigations Saud al-Hamad, the charged men will be referred to court for prosecution in cases related to money laundering or terrorism. Mr Hamad said some of those under investigation hadn’t respected confidential agreements, while others committed further, as yet unspecified, offences. The anti-corruption campaign was framed as part of Mohammad bin Salman’s push to transform Saudi’s oil-dependent economy, which has been long plagued by graft, and make it more modern, diversified, and capable of withstanding diving oil prices. But critics say the blanket of secrecy that has cloaked proceedings, as well as the lack of detail on financial settlements reached, suggests it was more about gathering cash and shoring up the crown prince’s growing authority than tackling corruption.

A planned space hotel hopes to welcome guests by 2022 — for a cost of almost $800,000 a night

CALIFORNIA - Looking for a getaway that offers unmatched views of sunrises and sunsets? Specifically, 384 of them in 12 days? Houston-based Orion Span hopes to launch the “first luxury hotel in space” — the 35-by-14foot Aurora Station — by late 2021 and bring guests on board the following year. The hotel will accommodate up to four travelers and two crew members at a time, racing them around the planet at high speeds for 12 days, the company said in a news release. Adventurers pay $9.5 million per person — or about $791,666 a night — and their $80,000 deposit can already be reserved online, company officials said. But don’t fear: The deposit is fully refundable. “We want to get people into space because it’s the final frontier for our civilization,” Orion Span’s

founder and chief executive, Frank Bunger, told Bloomberg. Bunger said that one reason Orion Span can aim for a price of less than $10 million per person is because of the declining price of launches. “Everybody’s forecasting that [launch prices are] going to fall,” he told Bloomberg. “Almost every week, there’s another rocketlaunch company that’s starting up with a new way to get to orbit cheaper, faster, better.” Orion Span’s announcement of a luxury hotel in space comes amid a revival of the commercial space industry. The launch of Elon Musk’s Falcon Heavy from the Kennedy Space Center in February, for

example, was the latest in a series of milestones that have renewed companies’ interest in space. The launch raised the question of whether SpaceX and other private enterprises could maintain their momentum and fulfill the promise of returning humans to space. That likelihood could increase as the Trump administration looks to restructure the role of NASA, allowing private enterprise and international partners to work closely with the space agency. Orion Span’s proposed hotel offers plenty of attractions: zerogravity flying throughout the station, views of patrons’ home towns from space, the ability to take part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit, and live-streams with friends and family at home through highspeed Internet.

Hunting for dark matter in the smallest galaxies in the Universe SURREY - Astrophysicists from the University of Surrey and the University of Edinburgh have created a new method to measure the amount of dark matter at the centre of tiny “dwarf” galaxies. Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the Universe, yet it remains elusive. Depending on its properties, it can be densely concentrated at the centres of galaxies, or more smoothly distributed over larger scales. By comparing the distribution

of dark matter in galaxies with detailed models, researchers can test or rule out different dark matter candidates. The tightest constraints on dark matter come from the very smallest galaxies in the Universe, “dwarf galaxies.” The smallest of these contain just a few thousand or tens of thousands of stars -- so-called “ultra-faint” dwarfs. Such tiny galaxies, found orbiting close to the Milky Way, are made up almost entirely of

dark matter. If the distribution of dark matter in these tiny galaxies could be mapped out it could provide new and exciting information about its nature. However, being entirely devoid of gas and containing very few stars, until recently there was no viable method for making this measurement. In a study published by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), a team of scientists from the Uni-

versity of Surrey have developed a new method to calculate the inner dark matter density of dwarf galaxies, even if they have no gas and very few stars. The key to the method is to make use of one or more dense star clusters orbiting close to the centre of the dwarf. Star clusters are gravitationally bound collections of stars that orbit inside galaxies. Unlike galaxies, star clusters are so dense that their stars gravitationally scatter from one another causing them to slowly expand. The research team made the key new insight when they realised that the rate of this expansion depends on the gravitational field that the star cluster orbits in and, therefore, on the distribution of dark matter in the host galaxy. The team used a large suite of computer simulations to show how the structure of star clusters is sensitive to whether dark matter is densely packed at the centre of galaxies, or more smoothly distributed. The team then applied their method to the recently discovered “ultrafaint” dwarf galaxy, Eridanus II, finding much less dark matter in its centre than many models would have predicted. Dr Filippo Contenta from the University of Surrey and lead author of the study said: “We have developed a new tool to uncover the nature of dark matter and already the results are exciting. Eridanus II, one of the smallest galaxies known, has less dark matter in its centre

than expected. If similar results are found for a larger sample of galaxies, this could have wide-ranging implications for the nature of dark matter.” Professor Mark Gieles, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Surrey and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council (ERC) project that funded the project, added: “We started this ERC project with the hope that we could use star clusters to learn about dark matter so it is very exciting that it worked.” Professor Justin Read, a coauthor on the study from the University of Surrey, added: “It is challenging to understand our results for Eridanus II if dark matter comprises a weakly interacting ‘cold’ particle -- the currently-favoured model for dark matter. One possibility is that the dark matter at the very centre of Eridanus II was “heated up” by violent star formation, as suggested by some recent numerical models. More tantalising, however, is the possibility is that dark matter is more complex than we have assumed to date.” Dr Jorge Peñarrubia from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Physics and Astronomy said: “These findings lend a fascinating insight into the distribution of dark matter in the most dark matter dominated galaxies in the Universe, and there is great potential for what this new method might uncover in the future.” (net)

Lobster scarce, Tabanan fishermen choose to repair fishing gears

TABANAN — Sand lobster fishermen on the coast of Yeh Gangga, Sudimara village, Tabanan subdistrict, are currently upset. It happens because they are currently entering the period of famine. Their main livelihood as lobster fishermen is getting hard to find sand lobster. Moreover, fishermen prefer to pull their boat ashore because as it is rarely used. In addition, the fishermen also choose to fix their fishing gear as well as boat. A number of fishermen said the existence of sand lobster will re-emerge when entering August. Currently, the price of sand lobster reaches about IDR 270,000 per kilogram. This price is determined by the situation in export destination country such as China. Moreover, the demand has increased with the price of lobster can reach IDR 400,000 per kilogram. Not only the lack of catches becoming the constraints of fishermen, the regulation of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Number 56/2016 about the catching of lobster is also a challenge because of the difficulty in finding lobsters weighing over 200 grams. In general, the sand lobster entering adulthood in the waters of South Bali will weigh between 100 and 150 grams. A fisherman, I Ketut Sumadra, said he preferred to repair fishing gear while not going to sea. Virtually all the coastal fishermen of Tabanan, chiefly 79 fishermen, make lobster into their main livelihood. He continued the profession as fisherman is inherited from generation to generation, and lobster is a promising export commodity. On the other hand, collectors said the current famine season drastically reduces lobster catches. By and large, during harvest season, collectors can get sand lobster up to 50 kilograms per day. In the complicated condition faced by fishermen, the head of Tabanan Fishery Agency, I Made Subagia, admitted that he could not do much. He only directed lobster fishermen to temporarily fill in the spare time with activities to improve fishing gear such as nets and boat. (kmb28)

Everyday Grandma Dendi as she familiarly addressed can only lament and stay silent in her rickety and ragged hut because of being paralyzed.

Living in rickety hut

Crippled grandma dreams of living reasonably NEGARA - The condition of Ketut Dendi, 80, from Mekar Sari hamlet, Manistutu village, Melaya, Jembrana district is very apprehensive. Everyday Grandma Dendi as she familiarly addressed can only lament and stay silent in her rickety and ragged hut because of being paralyzed. When met at her home last weekend, she claimed to have been sick since a few years ago. However, a month ago she fell from bed so that her legs were swollen, cracked and

paralyzed. As a result, she can no longer walk. This condition makes Grandma Dendi served by her son, Made Marna, 40, who is a casual worker along with his wife. Condition of the house occupied by Marna is also apprehensive because it remains a hut. The yard looked muddy after heavy rain.

“The rainwater often fell in the room because of the leaky plaited bamboo wall and is exposed to rain water from outside,” said Grandma Dendi accompanied by his son and hamlet chief of Mekar Sari, Gede Suardana. Hamlet chief of Mekar Sari, Gede Suardana, also confirmed that Grandma Dendi and her son belong to poor families. He has proposed them to get a home refurbishment program but until now there has been no realization. ‘We hope

our citizens are also assisted and prioritized,” he said. Condition of Grandma Dendi is also getting thinner. “I dream of having a good house before dying,” said Grandma Dendi sadly. Gede Suardana said that there are still 37 poor families at his hamlet and they have been proposed to get house refurbishment assistance. “Maybe, they are still put in the waiting list, but we also expect the grandma can be prioritized,” he hoped.

The 2016 IMF-WB Annual Meeting

Blessing of IMF-WB Annual Meeting implementation

The International Monetary Fund-World Bank (IMF-WB) Annual Meeting 2018 is the world’s largest economic and finance meeting in the world. An estimated 18,000 foreigners will arrive to Bali during the event. The presence of tens of thousands of people is touted to bring in extraordinary blessings for the economy of Bali. Pursuant to the estimated data, the money circulating before and after the event reaches IDR 5.7 trillion. The Head of Bali Representative Office of Bank Indonesia, Causa Iman Karana, once delivered such

estimated expenditure. Food, drink and entertainment will reach around IDR146 billion, transportation and vehicle rental reaches IDR 74 billion and hotel accommodation reaches IDR 666 billion.

If calculated with the expenditure of infrastructure, it will be obtained the figure for the addition of apron in Ngurah Rai Airport valued at IDR 1.34 trillion, underpass construction at Ngurah Rai Statue intersection

(IDR 289 billion) and construction of Benoa Tourism Park (IDR 1.7 trillion). This huge expenditure makes Bali’s economic growth increase to 6.4 percent. If this happens, the growth will surpass the national average predicted to only reach around 5 percent. Consequence of the increasing economic growth and the amount of money spent in Bali is triggering the

inflation. This is what to be watched out for. Learning from the experience of APEC Meeting 2013 in Bali, the inflation could be triggered to reach 8.16 percent. It is a large number and can make the Balinese people difficult due to expensive prices. If it results in high inflation, the economic blessings of the IMF-WB annual meeting will not be enjoyed optimally by Balinese people. (nata)

Library of millennial style

Take advantage of roving library targeting public places WHEREVER there is a crowded place, there is always a smart car. The smart car is blue, equipped with various types of books and other information technology facilities. It is called a smart car because it carries all kinds of science. This is the style of today’s library in Karangasem, amid the declining reading habit in the society. The smart car is a roving library car belonging to local government facility. Karangasem Library and Archives Office has now a tough task to improve the reading habit in the community. The onslaught of technological development with the emergence

of gadgets has changed the reading habit so it needs a new breakthrough to make people easier and love reading. Now, there is a roving library car. The Library Service highly utilizes this facility to achieve the above objectives. This car is very proactive coming down to schools, cultural parks and centers of the crowd in Karangasem like the regular activity of car-free day on Jalur Sebelas in Padangkerta, Amlapura, on Sunday (Apr. 8). Society including the elderly to children was very enthusiastic to take advantage of this roving library car. “Not only reading, children in particular,

can also learn to draw and color,” said the Head of the Karangasem Library and Archives Service, Komang Daging, on Sunday (Apr. 8). The roving library car, according to him, is very strategic as can move from one place to another as the effort to proactively reach the middle of society. Today, the car is more complete. In addition to a variety of books from children to adults, it is also equipped with information technology facilities such as laptops, televisions and sound system and free internet access. “Currently, our library facilities are still very limited and the presence of this

roving library car can serves as alternative to fulfill people’s need for reading material to educate themselves,” he said. Daging hoped the roving library can regularly visit people in all corners of Karangasem region. So, gradually people’s reading interest can increase considering the reading rate of Indonesian population is very low. This roving library service has four units, consisting of 2 units of smart car denoting the solidarity assistance of the wife of the United Indonesia Cabinet and two other units are the assistance from the National Library. “This

kind of roving library is very much needed because the library media are very limited,” said one of the readers, Ketut Indra. Looking at the slow development of the library, the Regent of Karangasem, I Gusti Ayu Mas Sumatri, once mentioned that schools should allocate five percent of the school operating budget or goods expenditure, excluding personnel expenditures and capital expenditures for library development. This refers to the Law No. 43/2017 on the Library. It is meant to develop the reading habit with the right reading material built in the community, especially among students. (kmb31)

Shay Mitchell responds to those accusing her of faking her vacation Instagram photos

LOS ANGELES - Shay Mitchell is clapping back at her vacation doubters. After the actress recently posted a round of vacation photos to Instagram, some accused her of being a “Pretty Little Liar”and faking some of her snaps taken abroad in China. The former PLL star, who often documents her worldly travels on social media, responded to her haters on Friday with -- what else? -- a photo of the 30-year-old herself overlooking a gorgeous nighttime view of Shanghai’s waterside attraction, The Bund. “View so nice it almost looks... fake,” she captioned the shot. The image comes a couple

of days after Stylecaster called out the star for sharing photos taken from other sources without providing credit. One photo in particular, posted to Mitchell’s Instagram story, featured a stunning snap of Hong Kong’s historic Monster Building, alongside the caption, “Night views.” It was here that the fashion and entertainment website noticed a telling computer cursor in the lower left side of the shot. The actress also shared another snap of a series of buildings that may inspire her “next nail polish change,” but a reverse image search suggested that the shot is actually a photo from 2014, taken in Tokyo, Japan.

Blake Shelton Gushes Over ‘Adopted Okie’ Gwen Stefani: ‘I Love You Pretty Girl’

OKLAHOMA - Gwen Stefani is fitting into Blake Shelton’s Oklahoma life seamlessly.

IBP/net

Shelton recently paid his girlfriend a sweet compliment on Twitter, praising her arrowhead finding skills. The 41-year-old country star even went so far as to dub Stefani an “adopted Okie.” “Hey @gwenstefani it’s official... with your arrowhead finding eye you are now an adopted Okie!!!” he wrote. “Side note: I love you pretty girl... #truth.” He also proudly responded to fan who asked, “Did Gwen find those arrowheads on your ranch?!?

If so, that’s very cool.” Stefani and her three sons -11-year-old Kingston, 9-year-old Zuma and 4-year-old Apollo -- as well as her niece, Stella, have been spending spring break in Shelton’s home state. Last month, Shelton talked about spending time with 48year-old Stefani’s kids during his appearance on the Today show. “I never saw that coming, but it’s so fun,” he told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford of having children in his life. “At this point in my life, I kind of had put that, like -- ‘Well, I guess that wasn’t meant to be’ -- and then all of a sudden it happens one way or another and it’s like wow, I really missed out

on a lot. So having them around is, I don’t even know how to describe it, it’s so much fun.” The couple has been dating since November 2015, and a source recently told ET that although the two appear more in love than ever, they aren’t rushing to get married any time soon. “There is no reason for them to rush into a marriage so they aren’t,” the source said. “Both of them are happy and content with where their relationship is right now.” “They are on cloud nine for each other,” the source added. “They are perfect for each other. They know they have found their true soulmate.” (net)

Hungary’s Viktor Orban wins ‘supermajority’ for third consecutive term in office

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has secured a third successive term in office after his right-wing Fidesz party won by a landslide in parliamentary elections. With around 93 percent of the ballots counted, Hungary’s National Election Office said Orban’s ruling administration had secured almost half of the vote on Sunday. The result is projected to keep the Fidesz party in power with a two-thirds majority — a key “supermajority” level which allows constitutional changes. The 54-year-old incumbent, who had built a fence on Hungary’s southern border during the 2015 migration crisis, campaigned for re-election on an anti-immigration and protectionist message once again. He has also pledged to cut income taxes and pass pro-economic growth policies. Speaking to supporters outside the Fidesz election headquarters in Budapest shortly before midnight local time, Orban said citizens of the central European nation had given themselves an “opportunity to defend themselves.” Migration: A fear of the ‘un-

known’ The Fidesz party improved significantly on its performance in 2014, gaining a further 5 percent share in the popular vote this time around. Orban’s campaign was thought to have been aided by an improving economic outlook, his party’s stringent control over state media and deep divisions among opposition parties. “What we can see is that Viktor Orban won this election due to only one issue — and this is clearly migration,” Andras Biro-Nagy, political analyst at Policy Solutions, a Hungarian think tank, told CNBC’s

“Squawk Box Europe” Monday. Biro-Nagy said that as relatively few people had been allowed to emigrate to Hungary in recent decades, the migration issue was an “unknown thing” for a large portion of the electorate. “For the vast majority of the population, (immigration) is seen as a threat to the cultural identity of the country. This is why economic arguments like potential GDP growth due to immigration simply do not matter,” he added. Voter turnout had soared to near-record highs of 69 percent — an outcome which analysts had anticipated

could boost the chances of the prime minister’s opponents. However, with almost all of the ballots counted, the right-wing Jobbik party accrued 20 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the Socialist party appeared to finish third with 12 percent while the LMP — Hungary’s main Green Party — finished fourth with around 7 percent of the vote. Leaders of the second and thirdplaced parties have since announced their resignation. Continued to page 6
