Foreign Affairs / Egypt’s Parliament Votes To Extend President Fattah El-sisi's Rule Until 2030 by cherriton12: 5:04pm On Apr 17, 2019 |
Egypt's parliament has voted in favor of a number of constitutional amendments that would extend the rule of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and would allow him to stay in power until 2030. The 596-seat legislature, which is dominated by Sisi loyalists, also backed other sweeping changes to the constitution on Tuesday, including giving the military greater influence in political life as well as granting Sisi more control over the judiciary.“The president's current term shall expire at the end of six years from the date of his election as president in 2018,” Arabic-language al-Ahram daily newspaper and public broadcaster Nile TV reported. “He can be re-elected for another (six-year) term,” they added. Parliament speaker Ali Abdel Aal said 531 deputies voted for the amendments and 22 others against. He added that amendments to the constitution were the outcome of dialogue sessions that had been in place over the past two months. Abdel Aal, however, highlighted that a new constitution should be drafted within the next decade - signaling that Sisi may have another chance to extend his term beyond 2030. “We need a new constitution; there is no way we will carry on without a brand new constitution within the next 10 years,” the legislator said. Mohamed Abu Hamed, a member of parliament who pushed for extension of Sisi’s rule, asserted that changes were needed to allow the general-turned-president to complete political and economic reforms. “The constitution in 2014 was written under tough exceptional circumstances,” he commented. He hailed Sisi as a president who “took important political, economic and security measures... (and) must continue with his reforms.” Earlier, opposition figures had called the proposals an "Arab Spring in reverse" and an "attempt to derail the movement towards a modern civil democratic state". Egyptian authorities blocked more than 34,000 internet websites in an attempt to restrict the Void campaign, which had been launched to rally Egyptians against the amendments. The campaign had collected more than 250,000 signatures and had established five new websites in an attempt to counter the ban.Moreover, prominent dissident actors Khaled Abol Naga and Amr Waked had denounced the changes to the constitution as a power grab. “These amendments would take us back to a dictatorship fit for the Middle Ages,” Waked told a news conference in the Swiss city of Geneva. His fellow actor criticized Sisi's narrative that his rule brought stability. “Where is there stability in a country that jails children... that treats people badly or that kills?” he questioned. Amnesty International said that by approving the amendments, the parliamentarians had shown a “complete disregard for human rights.” “These amendments aim to expand military trials for civilians, undermine the independence of the judiciary, and strengthen impunity for human rights violations by members of the security forces,” Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa, Magdalena Mughrabi, said.Human Rights Watch had also criticized the amendments, arguing they would “institutionalize authoritarianism.” Sisi came to power in June 2014, one year after he led the military to oust the first democratically-elected president Mohamed Morsi in a coup. He was re-elected in March 2018 with more than 97 percent of the vote, after standing virtually unopposed. Human rights groups have regularly criticized Sisi's government for cracking down on opposition activists and supporters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood movement, which has been banned in the country. Earlier this year, Amnesty International warned that Egyptians were facing an unprecedented crackdown on freedom of expression under Sisi's administration, saying the North African state had turned into an "open-air prison" for dissidents.

Religion / France’s Iconic Notre-dame Cathedral Fire Fully Extinguished by cherriton12: 11:59am On Apr 16, 2019 |
A fire that engulfed the French medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame has been fully extinguished after over nine hours of fighting, the Paris Fire Brigade has announced. “After more than 9 hours of fierce fighting, nearly 400 firefighters from Paris extinguished the appalling fire. 2 policemen and a firefighter were slightly injured,” the fire service said in a tweet on Tuesday. It said the main structure of the 850-year-old Gothic cathedral had been “saved and the main works of art have been put somewhere safe, thanks to the combined action of the different services of the State working together.”The fire began at around 18:30 (16:30 GMT) on Monday and quickly tore through the cathedral’s timbered roofing, where renovation work was underway. The blaze destroyed stained-glass windows and the wooden interior before firefighters could contain it. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron, who called the fire a “terrible tragedy,” said the worst had been avoided. Macron also announced an international fundraising campaign to raise money for the rebuilding of the world-famous French landmark. “We will rebuild it together. It will undoubtedly be part of French destiny and our project for the years to come,” Macron said outside the cathedral.Firefighters look at a fire at the landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral in central Paris as they cross the Archeveche Bridge on the Seine River on April 15, 2019. (Photo by AFP) Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo also announced a contribution of 50 million euros (56 million dollars) from the city for the restoration of the cathedral, which he estimated to cost hundreds of millions of euros. French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who runs the multinational luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, also pledged a total of 200 million euros (226 million dollars) from his family and company to help rebuild "this extraordinary cathedral, a symbol of France, its heritage and its unity." A French charity that works to protect the country’s heritage, Fondation du Patrimoine, is launching an international appeal to raise funds. The Paris prosecutor’s office said it had launched an investigation into the cause of the incident, which according to several police sources was “accidental.” Paris’s Notre-Dame Cathedral has gone up in flames, leaving the nation awestruck and prompting fears that the historic structure could suffer unprecedented damage. The blaze erupted at around 16:30 GMT on Monday, causing the wood-and-lead spire to collapse onto the roof. Locals have been reported by various news agencies as saying that the entire rooftop has been destroyed in the fire. Nobody was injured, Junior Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told Reuters at the scene. "It's too early to determine the causes of the fire," he added, but France 2 television reported that the police were treating it as an accident. The inferno broke out while the structure was undergoing renovation. https://www.worldnews.com.ng/2019/04/frances-iconic-notre-dame-cathedral.html 2 Likes

Business / Headquarters Of Oil Giant Shell Attacked As London Climate Protest Turns Violent by cherriton12: 5:53pm On Apr 15, 2019 |
A peaceful protest in London to demand more protection for the environment has turned violent as activists say they are frustrated with government’s inaction on escalating ecological crisis. British media reports showed parts of London had effectively been blocked by climate protesters as thousands joined the action that coincided with similar demonstrations in at least 33 countries. The Sky News said activists had stormed the headquarters of oil giant Shell in Lambeth, southeast London. Pictures showed smashed windows and glasses of a revolving door at the entrance of the building while other reports said activists had vandalized the property. "Shell are criminals,” said a woman who was photographed at the smashed revolving door before she was arrested by police. She said that the violent action was worth it as she and other activists were protecting the future for children and wildlife. Reports said at least five other locations across London had come to a standstill as protesters used road blocks to stop the traffic. The protesters demanded more urgent government action on climate change and environment protection. “I am so worried about what’s happening to the planet. We are on a knife-edge now and I felt strongly that I needed to get out and show myself, rather than just talk about it in the pub,” said a retired teacher who was speaking to the Guardian newspaper during the protest. Protesters were also planning to block London’s Parliament Square, where major parliament and government offices are located. The protest comes amid some escalating tensions in the UK over government plans to allow dangerous oil production operations in the country including in a site north of England. People have repeatedly protested against the plans, saying they are against UK commitments to improve life standards under international climate agreements. https://www.worldnews.com.ng/2019/04/headquarters-of-oil-giant-shell-in.html |

Science/Technology / Facebook Inc. Spends $22.6 Million To Keep Mark Zuckerberg Safe by cherriton12: 6:06pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
Facebook Inc. more than doubled the money it spent on Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s security in 2018 to $22.6 million, a regulatory filing showed on Friday. Zuckerberg has drawn a base salary of $1 for the past three years, and his “other” compensation was listed at $22.6 million, most of which was for his personal security. Nearly $20 million went toward security for Zuckerberg and his family, up from about $9 million the year prior. Zuckerberg also received $2.6 million for personal use of private jets, which the company said was part of his overall security program. Facebook has in the past few years faced public outcry over its role in Russia’s alleged influence on the 2016 US presidential election and has come under fire following revelations that Cambridge Analytica obtained personal data from millions of Facebook profiles without consent. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg took home $23.7 million in 2018 compared to $25.2 million last year. Separately, Facebook said Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings would vacate his seat on the social media company’s board and not be nominated for re-election. Hastings’ departure comes as the Menlo Park-based company beefs up its push into videos. Hastings has served on Facebook’s board since 2011. The company also said it would nominate PayPal’s senior vice president of core markets, Peggy Alford, to its board in place of University of North Carolina President Emeritus Erskine Bowles, who will also not be re-nominated. Facebook shares closed at $179.07 Friday evening. Source : https://www.worldnews.com.ng/2019/04/facebook-inc-spends-226-million-to-keep.html
