Israeli defence minister apologizes for remarks

about Kerrys peace effortsJERUSALEM, 15 Jan

Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon.

for offending Kerry bycalling him obsessive andmessianic in pushing foran Israeli-Palestinian peaceagreement. The defence

minister had no intention tocause any offense to the sec-retary, and he apologizes ifthe secretary was offendedby words attributed to the

minister, said the state-ment.

Israel and the UnitedStates share a common goalto advance the peace talks

between Israel and the Pal-estinians led by SecretaryKerry. We appreciate Sec-retary Kerrys many effortstowards that end, it added.According to the website ofthe Haaretznewspaper, theapology was issued after atwo-hour meeting betweenYaalon and Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu at thelatters residence in Jerusa-lem. The statement, com-posed together with Netan-yahu, followed a lukewarmresponse from Yaalon ear-lier in the day, which was

rejected by the Obama ad-

ministration.On Tuesday, Israels

biggest-selling daily Yedio-th Ahronoth published com-ments attributed to hawkish

Yaalon, who said Kerrywas obsessive and messi-anic. The only thing thatcan save us is for Kerry towin a Nobel Prize and leaveus alone, he was quoted assaying in private conversa-tions with associates and USofcials in recent months.

In effect, there have beenno negotiations between usand the Palestinians dur-ing these past months, butbetween us and the Ameri-cans, Yaalon said aheadof one of Kerrys 10 trips tothe region since last July.

New Jerseys Christie in address

again apologizes, looks aheadTRENTON, 15 Jan

New Jersey Governor ChrisChristie opened his State ofthe State Address on Tues-

day with an apology anda vow to fully cooperatewith all appropriate in-vestigations of an apparentscheme to cause massivetrafc jams as well as the

use of federal money for astate ad campaign. Christie a charismatic conserva-tive and an early favouritein the Republican bid forthe White House in 2016,was re-elected in a land-slide victory last November but the pair of scandalscoming in the rst weeks of

the year have put him on thedefensive.

The last week has cer-tainly tested this administra-tion. Mistakes were clearly

made. And as a result, welet down the people we areentrusted to serve, Christiesaid. Without a doubt, wewill cooperate with all ap-propriate inquiries to ensure

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie speaks during his

annual State of the State address in Trenton,New Jersey on 14 Jan, 2014. REUTERS

that this breach of trust doesnot happen again. Twosets of emails last week ap-peared to show that Chris-

ties aides had orchestratedlane closures for severaldays last September on astretch of highway leadingto the George Washing-ton Bridge, which spansthe Hudson River betweenNew Jersey and Manhattan,and then lied about it.

Christie has denied anyknowledge of the apparentorchestration to snarl traf-c at the bridge as political

payback against the Demo-cratic mayor of the nearbycity of Fort Lee, New Jer-sey, for his refusal to en-dorse Christies gubernato-rial bid. But the governorsspeech mostly addressedthe Jersey Comeback,

which Christie has longclaimed has resulted in pri-vate sector jobs and secured

public-private investmentin the Garden State, andhis cooperation with the

Democrat-controlled statelegislature. No state in thiscountry has shown morebipartisan cooperation and

governance over the lastfour years than New Jerseyand our people are proudof it. Lets resolve todaythat we will continue to putthose people rst. We willdo our jobs, Christie said.

These are ourachievements: Four bal-anced budgets. Passed withbipartisan support. Pensionreform and tenure reform.Passed with bipartisan sup-port. A cap on propertytaxes. Passed with biparti-san support, Christie said.We acted and we acted to-gether. Christie also gavea nod to an issue that wasat the top of his agenda inhis rst term an across-

the-board tax cut thoughhe said he will wait to an-nounce specic ideas when

he gives his budget addressnext month. The stateseconomy has seen signs of

improvement over the lastseveral months. Its unem-ployment rate experiencedthe largest monthly drop onrecord in November, drop-ping 0.6 percentage pointto 7.8 percent, according tothe state labor department.

Revenue has also beenrecovering steadily. In therst ve months of scal2014, which began on 1July, New Jersey took in

7.9 percent more revenue from income, sales,corporate and other taxes than in the same periodthe prior scal year. Butthat is still 1.2 percent, or

$98 million, under budget.Still, the states scal situa-tion and Christies ideas forimproving it could be over-shadowed by his responseto the scandals and specu-lation about his politicalfuture. Since taking ofce

four years ago, Christie a former federal prosecutor

has built a national repu-tation as a Republican ca-pable of winning bipartisansupport for his conservativepriorities, like spendingcuts, while repairing NewJerseys reputation for cor-ruption and graft.

Iraq supports Irans participationin Geneva II conference

BAGHDAD, 15 Jan Ira-nian Foreign Minister Mo-hammad- Javad Zarif met onTuesday with Iraqi top lead-ers who conrmed their sup-port to Irans participation inGeneva II conference overthe Syrian crisis. We havediscussed the Syrian crisis indetails and the attitudes to-ward Geneva II conference.Our stance in Iraq is that wesupport the presence of allthe concerned states and par-ties in this crisis, includingthe Islamic State (of Iran),Iraqi Foreign Minister Ho-shyar Zebari said at a Pressconference with Iranian Zarifin the capital Baghdad.

We think that the par-

ticipation of all parties, basedon the terms of Geneva I(conference), is the best wayfor this international politicalaction (to succeed), Zebarisaid. However, Zebari down-

played the importance of theparticipating parties, saying:This conference is not for(other) countries; it is for theSyrians themselves. Perhapsthe participation of (other)countries is rather a protocolnature. For his part, Zarifsaid: We have announcedpreviously that if an invita-tion to Iran would respectthe Iranian people, we wouldaccept such an invitation, butunfortunately there are pres-sures exerted on some partiesto put preconditions for us (toattend the meeting).

The Iranian foreignminister later met with IraqiPrime Minister Nuri al-Ma-liki on the latest development

in the region and the Syriancrisis, in particular the Ge-neva II conference, accord-ing to a statement issued byMalikis ofce. The prime

minister stressed that all par-

ties without exception musttake responsibility in nd-ing a peaceful solution to theworsening crisis in Syria,Maliki said. The situationcalls for the mobilization ofefforts and the participationof all effective parties to re-solve the crisis, Maliki said,

adding: No crises in the re-gion can be resolved withoutresolving the Syrian one.

Earlier in the day, Za-rif and his accompanyingdelegation arrived in Bagh-dad and were received byhis Iraqi counterpart Zebari.Relations between the Shi-ite Muslim country of Iranand the Shiite-dominatedgovernment of Iraq have

been picked up considerablysince Iraqi former PresidentSaddam Husseins Sunni-dominated regime was oust-ed in a US-led invasion in2003. Xinhua

Russia denies visa to US journalist critical of PutinMOSCOW, 15 Jan

Russia has barred a USjournalist critical of Presi-dent Vladimir Putin fromthe country for ve years,

in a move that could upsetrelations with the UnitedStates and has echoes of theCold War. Moscows treat-ment of David Satter could

fuel concern about freedomof speech before the Win-ter Olympics in Sochi nextmonth, although Putin has

tried to appease critics byfreeing former oil tycoonMikhail Khodorkovsky andmembers of the Pussy Riotprotest group in the run-upto the Games.

I was expelled fromthe country, Satter wroteon his personal website.This is an ominous prec-edent for all journalists and

for freedom of speech inRussia.

The Foreign Ministry

said on Tuesday that Sat-ter, author of three books

on Russia and the SovietUnion, had been preventedfrom returning to Russialast month after grosslyviolating visa regulations.In a website entry, he dis-missed the ofcial version

of events, saying he hadfollowed all instructions,and he blamed the foreignministry, which handlesforeign journalists media

accreditation, for causingdelays that led to his expul-sion.

In Washington, theState Department said it

was disappointed that Rus-sia had denied Satter a visaand had raised the issuewith the authorities in Mos-cow. The US Embassyin Moscow has raised ourconcerns on this case andthe treatment of journalists

and media organizations

in general with Russianauthorities, State Depart-ment spokeswoman MarieHarf told a daily brieng.

Well continue to moni-tor the case. Satter saidthat he had own to Kiev to

receive a new letter of invi-tation but instead receivedonly a statement read tohim by a Russian diplomatthere declaring him personanon grata.

Before Olympics, Russians urged to help prevent attacksMOSCOW, 15 Jan

Less than a month beforethe Winter Olympics in

Sochi, Russian investiga-tors appealed to civilians on

Tuesday to be more vigilantand help avert the threat ofterrorist attacks.

Insurgents who wantto create an Islamist state inthe North Caucasus moun-

tains have threatened to at-tack the Games and suicidebombers killed at least 34

people in the southern cityof Volgograd last month.

President Vladimir Pu-

tin, who has staked his per-sonal and political prestigeon next months Games,

has put troops on combatalert in Sochi and tightenedsecurity across the country

but fears of an attack on theOlympics remains.

You cant just counton the special servicesand heroic commandos,

Vladimir Markin, spokes-

man for Russias nationalInvestigative Committee,which answers directly to

Putin, toldIzvestianewspa-

per in an interview.If our citizens are not

ready to be vigilant, and to

refrain from the shady busi-ness and corruption that cre-

ate an environment for theterrorist underground, theintelligence services and

even more so the inves-tigators can only ... face thetragic consequences.

Markin did not speci-cally refer to the Olympicsbut that is currently the

countrys main securityconcern.

Markin said his agen-

cy had lost count of howmany militants had beenkilled in Russia, which has

Chinas Huawei says unaudited 2013

operating profit rose over 40 pctBEIJING, 15 Jan

Huawei Technologies CoLtd posted an over 40 per-cent rise in annual operat-ing prot as the Chinesetelecom equipment makerexpanded its presence inemerging markets, counter-ing reduced revenue growthhit by accusations of cyber-espionage.

Huawei, the worldsNo 2 telecom equipmentmaker, has had a turbulentyear in which it was shutout of multi-billion dollarnetwork opportunities inthe United States and Aus-tralia and drew the scrutinyof British authorities overcyber security issues.

To counteract this,

the unlisted company hasplaced its hopes in devel-oping markets and its busi-ness in Europe, where ithas made headway buildingfourth-generation mobilenetworks.

A multi-chassis cluster router is shown inside the ex-hibition hall at Huaweis headquarters in the southernChinese city of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, in this

on 16 Oct, 2013 fle photo.REUTERS

Huawei, which has re-peatedly said it has no spy-ing links with the Chinesegovernment, on Wednesdayreported unaudited 2013operating prot of 28.6 bil-lion yuan to 29.4 billionyuan. That compared withan audited 2012 operatingprot of 19.96 billion yuan an increase of 43.3 per-cent.

Revenue reached 238billion yuan to 240 billionyuan, or an increase of 8percent compared with atarget of 10 percent, thecompany said.

Huawei, which ranksbehind Swedens Erics-son (ERICb.ST) in telecomgear sales, will release au-

dited nancial results forlast year in the second quar-ter of this year.

Huawei, founded in1987, is known for aggres-sively gaining sales in thetelecom equipment sec-

tor by edging out rivalssuch as Cisco Systems Inc(CSCO.O), Alcatel-LucentSA (ALUA.PA), NokiaSiemens Networks NOKI.UL and ZTE Corp (000063.SZ) (0763.HK).

The companys ag-ship carrier business, whichaccounted for almost threequarters of revenue in 2012,sells equipment to telecomoperators.

In the US, the companyis trying to stake a claim tothe countrys mature smart-phone market following itshighly politicised forcedretreat from network con-struction, but it will face atough battle against estab-lished competition such as

Apple Inc (AAPL.O) andSamsung Electronics CoLtd (005930.KS). Huaweisaid smartphone shipmentsreached 52 million unitsworldwide last year com-pared with the companys60 million unit target.

Huawei was the third-largest smartphone makerglobally in the third quar-ter of 2013, according toStrategy Analytics, with a5.1 percent market share.However, the company isdwarfed by Samsung andApple, which have a 35.2percent and 13.4 percentshare respectively.

FDA asks doctors to

limit acetaminophen incombination drugs

WASHINGTON, 15 Jan US health regulatorsrecommended on Tuesdaythat healthcare profession-als stop prescribing com-bination drugs that containmore than 325 milligramsof acetaminophen per tab-let, capsule, or other dosageunit, citing the risk of liverdamage.

Limiting the quantityper dosage unit will reduce

the risk of inadvertent over-dose, which can lead to liv-er failure, liver transplantand death, the Food andDrug Administration said.

It cited the fact that noavailable data showed thattaking more than the rec-ommended dose providedbenets that outweighed theadded risks.

The No 1 US automak-er, which last paid a divi-dend in June 2008 before itmoved to save money dur-ing the US recession, said itwill pay shareholders a quar-terly dividend of 30 cents ashare, payable on 28 Marchto shareholders of record on18 March. In 2008, its quar-terly dividend was 25 cents ashare.

This return to share-holders is consistent withour capital priorities and is

an important signal of con-dence in our plans for acontinuing protable future,Chief Financial Ofcer DanAmmann said in a statement.

Ammann, who said onSunday that GM was closerthan ever to paying a divi-dend, will become GMspresident on Wednesday.

GM also namedChuck Stevens as the com-

Mom! I love you!The Mothers Day of Myanmar, the Full-

moon Day of Pyatho, hit the beloved social net-work Facebook in a new style. The Myanmar

people hardly express their love. On Facebook,

many reveal their love and say thanks to their

mothers, highly respected in the Myanmar so-

ciety as the rst teacher of ones life, although

their moms would not hear or see what they say

on the most popular social network.

Like many Asian countries, mothers are re-

garded as the second god in Myanmar. But, they

are not supposed to be treated well and highly

respected all the year round. There are age-old

mothers counting their last days in solitude in

a Home for the Aged, rejected by her sons and

daughters. A few unlucky ones are on the road,

begging for food.There are mothers who are struggling alone

to make the ends meet for their children. There

are also some unfullled mothers who do not

afford quality education or reliable health care

for their children.

There are also some expectant mothers who

do not get enough health care or enough care

from the communities and their husbands for

various reasons.

There are some mothers who do not have

enough education how to manage their family

and how to cultivate their children well. Most of

them lost the love of their sons and daughters.

Everyone loves his/her mother. The super-

cial love is not still enough for our society. Weneed to love and take a great care of all the

mothers and mothers-to-be on this planet. The

future of this country and of this world will not

be written by politicians or economists or some-

one else. It will be written by mothers who have

our very future in their hands.

In the dry central re-

suffer from water scarcity

Danube River Development Workshop heldand related social problems.

River channel improvement

and sustainable develop-

ment of the Ayeyawady are

also essential to facilitate the

smooth ow of cargo and

passengers and to supply wa-

ter for domestic, agriculture

and industrial uses all theyear round. But the present

river training performance

by river bed regulation is in-

sufcient due to the gap be-

tween work load and budget

availability.

The effective utilization

of the rivers will not only

provide sufcient water in

surrounding areas but also

support multi-modal de-

velopment in areas such as

agriculture, domestic use of

water, mitigation of oods,

improvement of navigation

and green growth for envi-

ronment.However, we have to

take into account the fact that

in many cases of human ef-

forts to overcome the nature,

benets are overestimated

while economic, environ-

mental, and social costs are

underestimated.

Myanmar has estab-

lished the National Water

Indonesias political at-

April approach, to be fol-lowed in July by a presi-dential election.

The once-every-ve-years democratic festivityon 9 April will see more

than 6,600 candidates com-pete for 560 seats in the

House of Representatives,as well as for legislativeseats at the provincial, mu-

nicipal and regency levels.

Particular attention isfocused on three of the 12

political parties contest-ing at the national level,namely the Indonesian

Democratic Party of Strug-gle (PDI-Perjuangan) ledby former President Mega-

wati Sukarnoputri, the Gol-kar Party that was once thepolitical machine of the late

Japan says it will approveFukushima operators

revival planTOKYO, 15 Jan Ja-

pans trade ministry said it

would approve on Wednes-

day a revival plan for theutility responsible for the

Fukushima nuclear disas-ter, Tokyo Electric PowerCo, its second attempt at

restoring battered nances.The plan hinges on TokyoElectric (Tepco) restarting

its Kashiwazaki Kariwa nu-clear plant to cut fossil fuel

costs, a contentious issue

staunchly opposed by thelocal governor. An earlierplan by Tepco outlining a

revival after its Fukushimaplant was hit by a massiveearthquake and tsunami in

2011, triggering triple melt-downs at the site, had to betorn up because it could not

restart Kashiwazaki.Japans trade minis-

ter Toshimitsu Motegi is

scheduled to meet Tepcopresident at 1700 JST on

Wednesday to ofciallyapprove the plan. Tepco isalso pledging to cut costs

by reducing fuel spending

and forming partnershipswith other utilities, as well

as upgrading fossil fuel

plants, the Nikkei newspa-per reported on Wednesday.

The company is major-ity owned by the govern-ment after an earlier bailout.

Tepcos previous revivalplan revolved around aKashiwazaki restart in early

2013. The new plan envis-ages a restart of two reactors

at the station in July and the

utility hopes all seven reac-tors will go online by scal2016.

The disaster at Fuku-shima, the worst nuclear cri-sis since Chernobyl in 1986

eventually brought aboutthe halt of all nuclear powerplants in Japan so they could

be vetted under toughernew standards. Oppositionto atomic power remains

strong in the country and isset to become a major issuein an election next month for
