Poland and the United States have agreed on six locations for new US troops to be stationed throughout the European nation, according to a Friday statement by Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak.
The military deal, signed in June, will add 1,000 non-permanent US troops to the currently stationed 4,500 on rotation as part of NATO forces.
The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One. pic.twitter.com/z0iDj2L0Y3
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday posted on Twitter a photo of what appeared to be the site of a failed Iranian satellite launch, raising questions about whether he had disclosed U.S. surveillance secrets.
The black-and-white photo showed the fire-blasted launch site at a space center in northern Iran including a damaged gantry service tower and a downed mobile erector launcher.
Trump, in his tweet, cited the specific location of the site, saying the United States was not involved in the "catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran."
Speaking to reporters at the White House later on Friday, Trump defended his posting of the photo and reiterated that the United States had nothing to do with the incident.
"We had a photo. I released it, which I have the absolute right to do," Trump said.
He said the Iranians "were going to set off a big missile and it didn't work out too well. Had nothing to do with us."
WNU Editor: Over the years I have posted many satellite photos from the U.S. government. And while they are not like this one, they were close. Everyone also knows that the resolution from U.S. spy satellites are incredible, which this picture. Bottom line, there are no U.S. surveillance secrets being disclosed. Like it or not, President Trump is also right about this .... Trump: I have the absolute right to release Iran photo (CNN).

In Qatar, foreign reporters are required to comply with a number of rules and regulations that limit their journalistic coverage. Although DW managed to get permission to cover the ongoing US-Taliban talks in the capital Doha, we were not allowed to relay anything live from the city — apart from a pre-recorded Skype report presented as live — partly because the paperwork takes a long time.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Earlier this summer, Carrie Lam, the chief executive of Hong Kong, submitted a report to Beijing that assessed protesters' five key demands and found that withdrawing a contentious extradition bill could help defuse the mounting political crisis in the territory.
The Chinese central government rejected Lam's proposal to withdraw the extradition bill and ordered her not to yield to any of the protesters' other demands at that time, three individuals with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
China's role in directing how Hong Kong handles the protests has been widely assumed, supported by stern statements in state media about the country's sovereignty and protesters' "radical" goals.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell is getting attention after she tweeted that she is "rooting" for Hurricane Dorian to make a "a direct hit" on President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
Campbell, Canada's first and only female prime minster, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: "I'm rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!" in response to a tweet saying that Florida is at risk and should prepare for the hurricane approaching.
Campbell continued with another tweet on Thursday, in which she said "we will see if Mrs. Post's design can stand up to the assault!"––referring to Marjorie Merriweather Post, the businesswoman and philanthropist who first built Mar-a-Lago in 1923 as a place to entertain her guests.
WNU Editor: She has since apologized .... Ex-Canadian PM apologizes after saying she hoped Hurricane Dorian would hit Mar-a-Lago (FOX News), but I do not think it is sincere. Her hatred for President Trump is well known (see below tweet). So why all the attention? If she was a citizen, this story would be going no where. But she is a former Canadian Prime Minister, and she currently chairs a committee that selects Canada's next supreme court justice. What she says does have an impact, and in my opinion disqualifies her from staying on such a committee.
* More than 500 migrants - including 246 children - landed on the Greek island of Lesbos overnight * They arrived in the fishing village of Skala Sikamia and most are believed to come from Syria and Afghanistan * Many were taken to a UN camp where more than 10,000 are being held in a facility designed to hold 3,000 * Meanwhile 155 sub-Saharan Africans jumped over barbed wire fences into Ceuta from Morocco today * Several migrants clung to the tops of the 20ft fences and had to be hauled off by officers in cherry pickers
Europe's migrant crisis continued today with over 100 scaling a 20ft barbed wire fence into a Spanish enclave and more than 500 arriving on boats at a beach in Greece overnight.
Police in Ceuta said 155 sub-Saharan Africans made their way into the Spanish territory after climbing fences that separate it from Morocco on Friday.
Meanwhile on the island of Lesbos 16 rubber dinghies packed with 547 migrants - more than 240 of them children - landed at the fishing village of Skala Sikamia overnight.
They arrived within the space of around an hour while another 32 people in different vessel were rescued at sea and transported to land.
A U.S. service member was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, officials said, bringing the total number of combat deaths there this year to 15 – and making this the deadliest year since the Pentagon announced the end of combat operations in 2014.
The 2019 death toll in Afghanistan has already surpassed the 13 troops killed there last year.
The service member killed Thursday was not immediately identified, in keeping with U.S. Department of Defense policy withholding the names until 24 hours after notification of next of kin.
(CNN)Pakistanis brought the nation to a standstill at midday Friday as they gathered for "Kashmir hour" to show their solidarity with the disputed region, after India stripped the state of Jammu and Kashmir of its autonomy and reclassified it as a union territory earlier this month.
India's move was highly contentious and one that will give the government in New Delhi greater authority over the disputed Muslim-majority region.
The national anthems of both Pakistan and Kashmir blared across TV and radio stations on Friday, according to Reuters, and traffic and trains were brought to a halt as people gathered between 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. local time.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's military has asked for an eighth straight annual increase in defense spending to help pay for U.S.-made interceptor missiles, stealth fighters, and other equipment it wants to counter threats from North Korea and China.
The Ministry of Defence budget proposal released Friday calls for spending to increase 1.2 percent to a record 5.32 trillion yen ($50.48 billion) in the year starting April 1. Finance ministry officials will scrutinize the request before it is approved by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet.
Already one of the world's biggest military spenders despite a constitution that forbids the possession of weapons to attack other countries, Japan has increased military outlays by a tenth over the past seven years. That growth is being driven by alarm over military build ups by its neighbors.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will deliver a major speech to mark 70 years since the official founding of the People's Republic of China, the government announced on Thursday.
The speech on Oct. 1 will be accompanied by a national day parade showcasing China's advances in military technology, Wang Xiaohui, executive vice minister for the Communist Party's Publicity Department, said at a press briefing in Beijing. "The purpose is to motivate and mobilize the whole party, the whole military, and all of the people to unite closely around the CCP Central Committee with Xi at the core," Wang said.
The speech will be closely watched for hints on China's policy direction, especially with the nation facing pressure on multiple fronts, from the trade war with the U.S. to protests in Hong Kong to a slowing domestic economy. Xi is expected to review the nation's achievements over the past 70 years and also talk about China's future.
He used a speech marking the anniversary of China's May Fourth movement earlier this year to urge the country's young people to stay loyal to the Communist Party.

The parade, to be held Oct. 1 in the capital Beijing, will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China following the communist victory of nationalist forces in 1949, Defense News reported.
According to Chinese state news agency Xinhua, the parade will be bigger than those that commemorated the 50th and 60th founding anniversaries, as well as the military parade in 2015 that commemorated the Allied defeat of imperial Japan in 1945.
* Among those arrested are activists Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow and Andy Chan; lawmakers Cheng Chung-tai, Au Nok-hin and Jeremy Tam also held * Pan-democrats slam arrests, saying timing is meant to suppress protest movement but will backfire and fuel greater anger
Tensions mounted in Hong Kong on Friday as police arrested prominent pro-democracy activists and at least three lawmakers in a crackdown ahead of a banned mass march as the city braced for the 13th straight weekend of anti-government protests.
Among those arrested were young activists Joshua Wong Chi-fung and Agnes Chow Ting, both from the political party Demosisto, Andy Chan Ho-tin, convenor of the now-outlawed Hong Kong National Party, and three pro-democracy lawmakers, Cheng Chung-tai, Au Nok-hin and Jeremy Tam Man-ho.
(Washington, D.C.) If a large mechanized unit of armored ground forces were "closing" with an enemy amid heavy artillery and cannon fire - but did not have overhead aircraft or satellite surveillance while transiting rigorous terrain - how could they fully discern the source of incoming fire? How might they pursue the safest and most lethal method of attack?
This kind of scenario represents one of many contingencies now informing the Army's development of a new Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), a super high-speed, maneuverable lightweight vehicle being engineered to perform a wide sphere of combat missions; these include high-speed straight-on attacks, forward operating reconnaissance or scout units, coordinated air-dropped ground assault and multiple entry point integrated operations.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's much-touted meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping yielded no agreement on the South China Sea territorial dispute between the two nations or a plan to explore the area for oil and gas.
Instead, Xi and Duterte agreed to form committees to advance oil exploration talks, with the goal of lifting a Philippine moratorium on existing contracts, Manila's envoy to Beijing Chito Sta. Romana told Bloomberg TV.
"The goal is to proceed with service contracts that the Philippines has already issued and get the ball rolling," the ambassador said, adding there's a "moderately good chance" for a definitive deal by November.
ADEN (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates carried out air strikes against government forces in South Yemen on Thursday in support of southern separatists who have deployed reinforcements to take back control of the port of Aden from their supposed allies in the Saudi-led coalition.
The UAE, the second foreign power in the coalition, said it carried out air strikes against "terrorist organizations" that attacked Saudi-led coalition forces at Aden airport.
"The recent aggravation in offensives against the Arab Coalition forces and civilians pose a menacing threat to the security of the coalition," UAE said in a statement published by WAM news agency. "This in turn has necessitated precise and direct air strikes on the 28th and 29th August, 2019 against terrorist militias."

By last October, the Pentagon's Vulnerability Disclosure Program had processed thousands of loopholes in the Department of Defense's websites.
Then it received a report from Jack Cable.
On Oct. 25, Cable, who worked for the Defense Digital Service and was a freshman at Stanford University, reported a problem to the department through the Pentagon's HackerOne vulnerability disclosure page.
Typically, vulnerabilities sent to the DoD through a disclosure program operated by HackerOne, an ethical hacking company that manages reporting programs for various organizations, require a simple reconfiguration or software patch. Of the 16 problems reported to the DoD on the average day, 11 tend to require action by the Pentagon, Kris Johnson, director of the Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) at the DoD's Cyber Crime Center (DC3), told Fifth Domain in an exclusive interview.
WNU Editor: File sharing platforms are always vulnerable, and this Pentagon platform has been around since 2001. A lot has happened since then, and kudos to this teenager for spotting it and pointing it out. On a side note, the Pentagon's Vulnerability Disclosure Program has definitely been a success.
Ukraine says negotiations to exchange prisoners with Russia are still under way after earlier unconfirmed reports said the swap had already been completed.
The Facebook post by the spokeswoman of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on August 30 comes after relatives of one of the 24 sailors being held by Russia told RFE/RL's Crimean Desk that they all had been freed.
Those remarks came after Ukraine's prosecutor-general reposted comments from a Ukrainian parliament member saying Ukraine and Russia had carried out a swap of prisoners, including Ukrainian sailors captured by Russian forces last year and Ukrainian film director Oleh Sentsov.
WASHINGTON - The United States is in a "very politically turbulent time" that has required military officials to address displays of partisanship by some U.S. troops, the Pentagon's top general said Wednesday, emphasizing that the majority of service members have acted professionally.
"With very few exceptions, they have conducted themselves in a manner very consistent with our ethos and with our values," said Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "They have done exactly what we've asked them to do, by and large."
Dunford, who is expected to retire next month, did not list any of the incidents in question. But some service members at public events have displayed banners, hats and flags featuring the "Make America Great Again" political slogan favored by President Donald Trump. Such displays violate military regulations designed to enforce political neutrality in uniform.
Police used water cannon and tear gas on demonstrators who defied a ban and staged a march through downtown Hong Kong Saturday to call for greater political freedom.
The latest unrest comes after a dramatic 48-hour period in which police arrested high-profile activists and pro-democracy lawmakers, and three masked men attacked an off-duty police officer, wounding him badly.
Beijing also stepped up its condemnation of the crisis gripping Hong Kong, with communist party mouthpiece The People’s Dailywarning on Saturday that Hong Kong had entered a “critical moment.”
Crowds gathered at a the city’s Southorn Playground from early Saturday afternoon, purportedly to hold a prayer meeting, for which police permission is not required. However, before long sections of the crowd broke off and took to the streets. Live news footage showed them filling major thoroughfares leading to the city’s financial center, where their numbers swelled.
The mostly young male protesters — many in full balaclavas — chanted “Revolution of our times!” and “Freedom for Hong Kong!”
At around 2:30 p.m., riot police could be seen blocking the road to Government House, preventing hundreds of protesters from marching on the official residence of Hong Kong’s beleaguered top official, Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
A short time later, protesters erected barricades in Causeway Bay, one of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping quarters, and occupied major roads in the business and administrative districts, as retailers brought their shutters down and a government helicopter hovered overhead. Video streams showed police using water cannon and tear gas on protesters gathered at the government headquarters and Legislative Council, after they hurled petrol bombs and rocks at the complex.
The latest disturbances will reinforce perceptions that Lam’s administration is losing its ability to direct the situation, after three months of unrest that has seen the legislature ransacked, airport shutdown for two days by protesters, and emblems of the Chinese state defaced. Lam herself has kept an extremely low profile during the crisis and her halfhearted offers of dialogue have been scorned by the democracy movement.
The arrest among others yesterday of prominent campaigner Joshua Wong and his party colleague Agnes Chow, both 22, has meanwhile hardened battle lines in the former British colony, whose 7.2 million people are culturally and linguistically distinct from mainland Chinese after 156 years of U.K. rule.
After being bailed on charges of inciting and organizing unauthorized assembly, Wong told local media “We still continue our fight. We shall not surrender.”
Hong Kong’s unrest began as opposition to an unpopular extradition bill, but has since boiled over into a rebellion against the unrepresentative local government, with many protesters calling for self-determination or even independence.
China has threatened to intervene if the semi-autonomous enclave—returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997—does not quell what Beijing terms a “color revolution.” Earlier this month, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV quoted a senior official overseeing Hong Kong affairs as saying that “the central government will never sit idly by if the situation in Hong Kong worsens” to a point where the Hong Kong government cannot control it.
Beijing has recently made well publicized deployments of anti-riot vehicles in Hong Kong and of paramilitary units on the territory’s border.

Like many of Ukraine’s political leaders, Oleksandr Danyliuk, the head of the National Defense and Security Council of Ukraine, had trouble making sense of the messages on Russia that have come out of the Trump Administration this week.
On Wednesday in Kiev, his nation’s capital, Danyliuk met with his American counterpart, the U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, who assured him that the U.S. support for Ukraine, including military support in its five-year war with Russian-backed separatists, would only intensify. “Everything in our meeting was about how we would expand our cooperation and how everything is ready for that,” Danyliuk tells TIME.
But the following day, President Trump appeared to contradict those plans. As first reported on Thursday by Politico, Trump has asked Bolton and other officials in the administration to stall $250 million in aid to Ukraine, pending an official review of whether this support is in line with U.S. interests.
“It goes in a different direction,” Danyliuk says in an interview at his office in Kiev, the first detailed response to Trump’s move from a top Ukrainian official. During their talks this week, Danyliuk says Bolton did not mention any plans to review or withhold U.S. support to Ukraine. “It was never raised,” he says. “On the contrary,” says Danyliuk, “we talked about how we would expand our cooperation. In my opinion, military support to Ukraine by definition is in the interests of the U.S., taking into consideration Ukraine’s strategic role in the region. If anything, the support should be increased.”
Asked about Bolton’s meetings in Kiev, a senior Administration official said in an email to TIME: “The United States has had extensive military cooperation with Ukraine, something that has been very beneficial to both nations.”
The mixed signals marked another sign of discord within the White House between Trump and his top security advisers, whose efforts to take a tougher stance on Russia have been repeatedly undercut by the President.
Leading Democrats in Washington expressed outrage at the apparent attempt to hinder an aid package to Ukraine that has already been approved by Congress. “Enough is enough,” Senator Bob Menendez, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement on Thursday. “President Trump should stop worrying about disappointing Vladimir Putin and stand up for U.S. national security priorities. We have a responsibility to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty and deter Russia from further aggression,” he added, referring to Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and its fuelling of a war in eastern Ukraine that has killed over 13,000 people in the last five years.
The U.S. President was also cautious to avoid criticizing Putin during the G7 summit held this week in France. Asked to explain his desire for Russia to be allowed back into the G7 club of industrialized nations after it was expelled in 2014, Trump appeared to blame his predecessor for the Russian annexation of Crimea that year, saying that Barack Obama had been “outsmarted” by President Putin, who ordered Russian troops to invade and seize that territory from Ukraine. The Crimean peninsula, Trump said, “was sort of taken away from President Obama.”
Danyliuk took a long pause when asked about this statement in the interview with TIME on Thursday, apparently at a loss for words. “Our position is absolutely clear,” he said finally. “Russia was expelled from the G7 because you cannot sit across the table, as democratic states, with an open aggressor. What are you going to talk about?” He added: “How can you discuss world issues with a person who started a war and grabbed territory in the middle of Europe?”
Further complicating U.S. relations with Ukraine have been the efforts of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to convince the authorities in Ukraine to investigate the domestic opponents of the Trump Administration. As first reported in the New York Times last week, Giuliani has urged Ukrainian officials to investigate the business dealings in Ukraine of Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The government in Ukraine has so far tried to avoid doing anything that could be perceived as interference in domestic U.S. affairs. “We will not interfere,” Danyliuk tells TIME. “Why should we?”
Having won a strong mandate to lead Ukraine during elections held this year, the new government of President Volodymyr Zelensky will try to develop relations with the U.S. based on mutual interests, Danyliuk says. “Ukraine needs to be stable and strong as a regional player. And we do rely on support from the United States. It’s significant support, and it’s not just symbolic.”
One issue where the interests of the U.S. and Ukraine seem to align is in opposition to the new Russian gas pipeline to Germany, known as Nord Stream 2. Once completed later this year, that pipeline would allow Russia to bypass Ukraine in its fuel shipments to Europe, effectively costing Ukraine’s economy around $3 billion per year in transit fees, Danyliuk says.
President Trump has repeatedly criticized the project, saying it would make Germany “captive” to Russian interests, and urging the Europeans to buy fuel from the U.S. instead. During their talks in Kyiv this week, Danilyuk discussed this issue at length with Bolton, and he urged the U.S. government to block the project by imposing economic sanctions against it. “Bolton was very supportive,” Danilyuk says. “He understands that Nord Stream 2 is bad for the United States.”
Still, after the conflicting messages from the White House this week, it became even more difficult for foreign leaders to take Trump’s closest advisers at their word. On a whim, or with a tweet, the President can always go, as Danyliuk put it, “in a different direction.”
After roughly 1.5 million German soldiers, more than 2,000 airplanes and more than 2,500 tanks crossed the Polish border on Sept. 1, 1939, the British gave Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler an ultimatum: pull out of Poland, or else. Hitler ignored the demand, and two days later, on Sept. 3, 1939, Britain and France declared war. Thus began World War II, and this weekend Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Poland to mark the anniversary of that event.
But the invasion of Poland wasn’t the first time German forces had been put to work for Hitler’s goal of European domination. Previously, however, the other European powers had pursued a strategy of appeasement, giving Hitler what they deemed reasonable concessions, in order to avoid all-out war. That strategy reached its apex when the three parties signed the Munich Agreement on Sept. 30, 1938, giving Hitler the German-speaking part of Czechoslovakia, known as the Sudetenland, on the condition that he would not invade any more territory. But six months later, in March of 1939, Hitler violated the Munich Agreement by absorbing all of Czechoslovakia.
The war didn’t begin then. Rather, it took another half a year.
Rumors started swirling that Hitler was eyeing Poland next. With French support, Britain promised on March 31, 1939, that if Germany made aggressive moves toward Poland, they would come to Poland’s defense. By the time that happened, not only had Hitler broken yet another promise, something else had shifted too. “When Hitler invades Poland in ’39 there is no political support any longer for appeasement,” explains Rob Citino, Senior Historian at The National WWII Museum.
Though France urged Britain to wait, says Tim Bouverie, author of Appeasement: Chamberlain, Hitler, Churchill, and the Road to War, many British politicians feared the implications of not keeping the promise to Poland, and they were done giving Hitler the benefit of the doubt.
“Hitler had proven, by tearing up the Munich agreement and invading Czechoslovakia in March of that year, that he could not be trusted and that he had to be stopped,” Bouverie says. By falsely claiming that he only wanted to fix damage done to Germany from World War I and restore German lands to German people, Hitler had previously been able to convince his counterparts—already wary of war—to hold off. “Both of these claims are proven as lies when he invades Czechoslovakia in March 1939 and the British government realizes that he is intent upon wider European conquest—possibly domination.”
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain laid out the argument for ending the appeasement strategy in a Sept. 4 radio address aimed at the German people: “He gave his word that he would respect the Locarno Treaty; he broke it. He gave his word that he neither wished nor intended to annex Austria; he broke it. He declared that he would not incorporate the Czechs in the Reich; he did so. He gave his word after Munich that he had no further territorial demands in Europe; he broke it. He has sworn for years that he was the mortal enemy of Bolshevism; he is now its ally.”
Hitler’s propaganda endorsed the theory of Lebensraum (often translated as “living space”), his idea that the Germany needed more room. Citino points out that Poland was geographically the logical next step after Czechoslovakia, in terms of the application of that theory. In addition, the dictator believed that the Polish population was racially inferior to Germans, and thus would be easily overrun and enslaved. (On Sept. 17, the Soviet Union also invaded Poland, in accord with a non-aggression agreement Hitler and Stalin had come to that summer; that agreement would end on June 22, 1941, when the Nazis invaded Soviet territory.)
“It seems Hitler can no longer be appeased [in 1939], but attempting to appease him was wrong all along,” Citino says. “He would just continue to make demands and threaten his neighbors ad infinitum.”
World War II began last week at 5:20 a. m. (Polish time) Friday, September 1, when a German bombing plane dropped a projectile on Puck, fishing village and air base in the armpit of the Hel Peninsula. At 5:45 a. m. the German training ship Schleswig-Holstein lying off Danzig fired what was believed to be the first shell: a direct hit on the Polish underground ammunition dump at Westerplatte. It was a grey day, with gentle rain.
In the War’s first five days, hundreds of Nazi bombing planes dumped ton after ton of explosive on every city of any importance the length & breadth of Poland. They aimed at air bases, fortifications, bridges, railroad lines and stations, but in the process they killed upward of 1,500 noncombatants. The Nazi ships were mostly big Heinkels, unaccompanied by pursuit escorts. Germany admitted losing 21 planes to Polish counterattack by pursuits and antiaircraft. They claimed to have massacred more than half of a 47-plane Polish squadron which tried to bomb Berlin.
Out of a welter of sketchy bulletins, counter-claims and unpronounceable names flowing from Poland, the broad outlines of Germany’s assault began to take shape. Recapture of what was Germany in 1914 was the first objective: Danzig, the Corridor, and a hump of Upper Silesia. It is believed that Adolf Hitler, if allowed to take and keep this much, might have checked his juggernaut at these lines for the time being. When Britain & France insisted that he withdraw entirely from Polish soil or consider himself at war with them, he determined on the complete shattering and subjugation of Poland…
Heroes this week were a handful of Polish soldiers left in charge of the Westerplatte munitions dump. Under steady bombing and shell fire, they held out as a suicide squad in the thick-walled fortress, replying from its depths with machine gun fire, resolved to blow up the dump and themselves with it before surrendering.
Another small band of Poles took and held the Danzig post office until artillery was drawn up to blow away the building’s face, gasoline poured on from above and set afire.
On “Black Sunday”—the day Britain and France declared War—the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt announced, “This nation will remain a neutral nation, but I cannot ask that every American remain neutral in thought as well. Even a neutral has a right to take account of facts. Even a neutral cannot be asked to close his mind or his conscience.”
As TIME pointed out, the sentence was “the most striking sentence in the broadcast” because of the contrast with President Woodrow Wilson’s 1914 edict that Americans must remain “impartial in thought as well as action” in the early years of World War I. The Roosevelt version suggested to the magazine that the president might be priming Americans to get ready to take up arms—and after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, they did.
The lead-up to World War II, Bouverie says, was about “what bad people are able to do when they think that the good people aren’t prepared to fight.” The fighting, however, would come in the end.
(Bloomberg) –– The voice on the television ad sounds ominous. “The Chinese government is quietly invading our American electric grid,” it says. “Now they’re coming for our energy jobs.”
As the narrator speaks, images of marching soldiers and President Xi Jinping flash across the screen. It ends with a warning: “Don’t sign the petition allowing China to control Ohio’s power.”
The commercial, which has the air of a political-attack ad, is the latest and most bizarre salvo in a bitter fight over a new Ohio law subsidizing two struggling nuclear power plants owned by bankrupt FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.
For months, debate over the measure has spilled beyond the state’s borders. A member of President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, Bob Paduchik, urged Ohio lawmakers to support the legislation and stressed that the president backed it, too. And the measure drew opposition from groups as diverse as the Sierra Club and billionaire Charles Koch’s political organization, which blasted it as a corporate “bailout.”
The law, enacted last month, carves out $150 million annually for FirstEnergy Solutions’s Davis-Besse and Perry plants, which the company had said it would close without aid. Ohio will fund it by cutting support for wind and solar. The move is unprecedented. While New York, New Jersey and Illinois all subsidize nuclear power as part of their clean-energy strategies, Ohio is the first to do so by directly yanking support from renewables.
Now environmentalists and others are gathering signatures in support of a referendum to repeal it. But the group behind the television ad, Ohioans for Energy Security, says they’re circulating the petition on behalf of China.
A spokesman for the group, Carlo LoParo, said loans made to natural gas plants in Ohio by state-controlled Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. give Beijing local influence. If reactors close and gas plants sell more power in the region, Chinese banks “will have significant control over Ohio’s energy grid,” LoParo said in a statement.
“It’s fair to point out that they’re heavily financed not just by foreign lenders, but by a foreign government,” he said in the interview. LoParo declined to say who funded the ad.
‘No Interaction’
The 60-second ad features two people, staring silently at the camera, who in an earlier video supporting the law identified themselves as FirstEnergy Solutions employees. The company, which filed for Chapter 11 last year, declined to comment. The same production company shot both videos, LoParo said.
LoParo, who runs a Columbus, Ohio-based public relations firm, previously represented a separate group that lobbied for the law called the Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance, which was funded by FirstEnergy Solutions. LoParo said he’s had “no interaction” with the company in his current role.
The group is funded by “dark money,” said Gene Pierce, a spokesman for the organization gathering signatures to repeal the law, Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts. The notion that the financing of gas plants is tantamount to taking over the power grid is far-fetched, he said.
“Lending money is not the same thing as having a controlling interest,” Pierce said.
As many as 4 million people — many of them Muslims — may lose their Indian citizenship on Saturday, accused of being “infiltrators” by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is preparing to release the final version of a controversial list called the National Register of Citizens, the result of a six-year effort to ostensibly catalog all the legal residents of the northeastern state of Assam.
But the list has been mired in controversy. The last time a draft was released, in 2018, 4.1 million people were left off, putting them at risk of being made stateless. Many of them were poor, illiterate and/or members of the Muslim minority.
Observers are worried that the final list, published on Saturday, will result in families being split up, incarcerated, and even being chased out to Bangladesh — a country many have never set foot in. And rights groups are worried that the list could set off a chain of events similar to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar in 2017, when roughly 750,000 members of the Muslim Rohingya minority were persecuted, stripped of their Burmese citizenship and forced to flee to Bangladesh.
Others fear that this is the start of a disturbing trend. Modi’s Home Minister, Amit Shah, has promised to expel “infiltrators” from the rest of India, using Assam as a testing ground. “We will implement National Register of Citizens in the entire country,” Shah said when the BJP returned to power for another five years in May. “We will remove every single infiltrator.”
Here’s what to know about India’s National Register of Citizens.
Why does the Indian government want a National Register of Citizens?
The idea has been floated before, partly because of the local history of Assam, where indigenous Assamese people have long held anxieties about being displaced by waves of Bengali immigration — first during the partition of British India in 1947, then on the eve of the India-Pakistan war in 1971, and still today over the state’s porous border with Bangladesh.
In 2013, the Indian Supreme Court ruled that the NRC be updated. The list was first drawn up in the 1950s but fell into disuse.
But the ruling BJP, which came to power the following year, has seized on the issue, because it dovetails conveniently with the party’s wider Hindu nationalist message: that India’s Hindus are being displaced by Muslims. Shah, the Home Minister, has previously referred to illegal immigrants as “cockroaches” — widely seen as a dog-whistle for Muslims. (Muslims make up some 14% of India’s population.)
“BJP leaders say Muslims have more children and are altering the demographic makeup of India,” says Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “That kind of language is very concerning.”
“The BJP has a very Trump-like way of speaking about illegal immigrants,” she adds.
Can’t everyone in Assam simply prove they are Indian citizens?
It’s not that easy. Activists say the Indian state has put an unfairly high burden of proof on residents to prove they have the right to remain — requiring documentation dating back to March 24 1971, the day before war with East Pakistan (today known as Bangladesh) erupted. For families who don’t keep meticulous records, who have faced persecution, or who are unable to navigate India’s complex bureaucracy, that can be difficult.
Even when all the papers are found, some families have still experienced obstacles. In 2018, TIME reported on a Muslim family whose members were left off the draft version of the NRC despite providing a stack of documents going back 80 years. If their names are not included on the final version released Saturday, they face being thrown into detention centers.
“We have requested the government to make sure the process is not arbitrary, not discriminatory,” says Ganguly of Human Rights Watch. But only when the NRC is published will the full repercussions become clear. If anywhere close to the 4.1 million people left off the list last time are still not included, rights groups fear a humanitarian crisis.
“We are very worried about something like the Rohingya crisis playing out again,” Ganguly tells TIME. “There is a similar anti-Muslim public discourse [to that in Myanmar] that is underlying all of this.”
Will families be separated?
That has already happened. In 2011, a new mother called Sahida Bibi was deemed a foreigner by a tribunal, and thrown into a detention camp with her newborn twin sons. One of her twins died two weeks into their detention from a respiratory illness. “He made a strange noise and as I picked him up he was gone,” she told news site Scroll.in.
Separated from her husband and still grieving, Bibi was forced to remain in the detention camp for 10 months more before she was freed. A court deemed her an Indian citizen, and said she should never have been detained in the first place.
Can India really deport millions of people to Bangladesh?
It’s not likely. Bangladesh has called the situation in Assam an “internal issue” for India to deal with. And Bangladesh is already struggling to accommodate the roughly 1 million Rohingya refugees who fled state-sanctioned murder, rape and violence in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
And, since most of the people left off the NRC don’t hold Bangladeshi citizenship, or any other apart from Indian, it would be illegal under international humanitarian law for India to strip their Indian citizenship, thus making them stateless.
So it’s more likely that India will have to send people to detention camps inside its own territory. Ten new detention camps are under construction in Assam, and police have been mobilized in the state ahead of the publication of the NRC.
“Even if there are people who are Muslims who have been living in Assam since the 1970s, that’s three generations of people,” says Ganguly. “So how do you even decide where they are going to go?”
(KAMPALA, Uganda) — A 9-year-old Congolese girl who tested positive for Ebola in neighboring Uganda has died, officials said Friday, as the World Health Organization said that the outbreak has neared 3,000 cases.
The young girl’s body will be repatriated with her mother back to Congo for a funeral, according to Dr. Eddy Kasenda, Ebola representative in the Congolese border town of Kasindi.
“We are finalizing the administrative formalities so that the body is repatriated and buried here in Congo, her native country,” said Kasenda. “We are collaborating with the health services of neighboring Uganda and we will strengthen the sanitary measures here in Kasindi.”
A Ugandan official at the hospital where the girl had been in isolation confirmed her death overnight. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
The girl, who was traveling with her mother, was identified at a border screening Wednesday as a possible Ebola patient and isolated.
Although cases of cross-border contamination have been rare, this case highlights the risk of Ebola spreading across the border into neighboring Uganda and Rwanda. Borders in the region are often porous, and many people traveling at night use bush paths to cross over.
In June, a family of Congolese with some sick family members crossed into Uganda via a bush path. Two of them later died of Ebola, and the others were transferred back to Congo.
“It is critical we continue to be on high alert in high-risk areas and empower communities to be prepared in order to contain the virus,” the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said after a case of Ebola case was confirmed in Uganda.
Uganda has had multiple outbreaks of Ebola and hemorrhagic fevers since 2000.
Because the 9-year-old Ebola victim passed through an official entry point this week, Ugandan health authorities believe she had no contact with any Ugandan.
Ebola has killed nearly 2,000 people in eastern Congo since August 2018. The disease is spread through contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
WHO said Friday that cases have reached 3,000 in Congo, with 1,893 confirmed deaths and some 900 survivors.
An average of 80 people per week are sickened by the virus, which has infected most people in Congo’s North Kivu province.
The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo hasn’t shown signs of slowing down despite new treatments and vaccines given to more than 200,000 people in the region and the use of two therapeutic treatments being used as part of a clinical trial.
Insecurity has been one factor in a region where rebel groups have fought for control of mineral-rich lands for decades. Ebola also has spread because of mistrust by communities who have also staged attacks against health workers. Many people in eastern Congo don’t trust doctors and other medics.
“One year into the response, the lack of community acceptance remains the single greatest obstacle to containing the outbreak,” said Bob Kitchen, Vice President of Emergencies at the International Rescue Committee. “Building trust with the community doesn’t just mean dialogue with the affected population. It means working with the community to adapt the response and address the overall needs they are facing inside and outside of the Ebola outbreak.”
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will travel this weekend to Congo with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and senior officials, including Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa.
On Friday he called on partners to increase their presence in the field.
“Our commitment to the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is that we will work alongside them to stop the Ebola outbreak,” said Ghebreyesus. “Our commitment also means strengthening the health systems to give them all the other things they need. Building strong systems is what will protect people, communities and the world.”
Break: Sir John Major joins legal action against Boris Johnson to try to stop him proroguing. Tory party at full blown legal war with itself. pic.twitter.com/TPNy9IqsyR
“I promised that, if the Prime Minister prorogued Parliament in order to prevent Members from opposing his Brexit plans, I would seek judicial review of his action,” the former conservative prime minister said in a statement.
The controversial plans to suspend or “prorogue” parliament were announced by the U.K. government on Wednesday morning, effectively locking lawmakers out of the building for several weeks in early September. Several leading politicians have expressed concerns that the move would prevent lawmakers from passing legislation regarding Britain’s scheduled exit from the E.U. on Oct. 31, and allow Johnson to force through a controversial “no deal” Brexit. (Johnson has denied this is his motivation.)
Major has previously warned that proroguing parliament would mean “heading in a very dangerous territory.” Speaking at Chatham House in June, Major said: “I cannot imagine Mr Disraeli, Mr Gladstone, Mr Churchill or Mrs Thatcher even in their most difficult moment saying let us put parliament aside while I carry through this difficult policy that a part of my party disagrees with.”
Johnson has pledged to leave the E.U. by the scheduled departure date of Oct. 31, with or without a deal, and the government has said the five-week suspension will still allow time to debate Brexit.
But the decision prompted a backlash from lawmakers and opponents of a no-deal Brexit – and the shock it could bring. The move sparked protests across the country, resignations, and a petition with over 1.5 million signatures. Johnson’s decision has been described as “a threat to democracy” and “a constitutional outrage” both by opposition leaders and by members of Johnson’s conservative party.
Major, who was prime minister from 1990 to 1997, has joined a challenge launched by anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller, who previously used the courts to force parliament to pass legislation to trigger the Article 50 Brexit process.
“In the view of imminence of the prorogation – and to avoid duplication of effort, and taking up the Court’s time through repetition – I intend to seek the Court’s permission to intervene in the claim already initiated by Gina Miller, rather than to commence separate proceedings,” Major said in the statement.
Miller said a court hearing will be held on Sept. 5. Judges will decide if the government has allowed sufficient time for a debate on a no-deal Brexit.
Court hearing re @BorisJohnson proroguing Parliament will be heard next Thursday 5th September. I will be adjoined by Sir John Major.
In a separate legal challenge brought by lawyers of 75 anti-Brexit lawmakers, a judge temporarily rejected calls to to block Johnson’s decision of proroguing parliament on Friday.
Judge Lord Doherty brought forward the hearing to Sept. 3.
“I’m not satisfied that it has been demonstrated that there’s a need for an interim suspension or an interim interdict to be granted at this stage,” he said. “I’m going to move the substantive hearing forward to Tuesday. Weighing consideration in the balance, it’s in the interest of justice and in the public interest that it proceeds sooner rather than later.”
The U.K. government is also facing a legal action in Belfast.

While a decline in GDP affects the poor worse as India is one of the most unequal societies, it hits your wallet each time a slowdown is recorded. It takes toll on average income of the people and signals a squeeze on job opportunities.Illustrating the impact of lower GDP growth, R. Nagraj, professor of economics at Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, said that given per capita monthly income of Rs 10,534 in 2018-19, an annual GDP growth of 5% means that the per capita income will go up by Rs 526 in FY20."Instead, if per capita monthly income grows at 4%, then the income growth will be only Rs 421. This means a 1% reduction in the growth rate has reduced per capita monthly income growth by Rs 105. In other words, a decline in the annual GDP growth rate from 5% to 4% would mean getting Rs 105 less per month," he said.Taken on an annual basis, the total loss to a person would be 1,260 in a year.It may be noted that the GDP has been slowing down quarter after quarter reaching 5% in April-June period of FY20 from 8% during Q1 of 2018-19. Most economic research firms have lowered their GDP forecast for full financial year.Cutting down FY20 GDP growth to 6.7% (six-year low) from its earlier forecast of 7.3%, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) on August 28 said the current fiscal would be the third consecutive year of subdued growth.Moody's Investors Service sees India growing at 6.4% in FY20 as domestic and external headwinds would persist over the year.Aditi Nayar, Principal Economist, ICRA, said the pace of expansion of GDP and GVA in Q1 FY2020 was resoundingly lower than forecast, driven by a collapse in manufacturing GVA growth, even as the performance of most of the other sectors was largely along expected lines.Explaining the impact of lower GDP on common man, senior economist Nagraj said that lower GDP means a proportionate decline in per capita income. Further, given high inequality in the economy, it is very likely that the poor will suffer more from the decline in the GDP growth rate than the rich."Correspondingly, the number of people below poverty line could rise. A decline in the GDP growth rate could mean a decline in the employment rate," he said.The GDP at constant (2011-12) prices in Q1 of 2019-20 is estimated at Rs 35.85 lakh crore, as against Rs 34.14 lakh crore in Q1 of 2018-19, showing a growth rate of 5%.
Commerce minister Piyush Goyal Friday said the RBI decision to transfer only Rs 52,637 crore from its excess reserves is "grossly inadequate" given the central bank's huge buffers, and more should have had been done to boost growth. He also took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism on the transfer being akin to "stealing", saying there is no point debating with the "uninformed and uneducated" people. "Personally, this is grossly inadequate, the RBI is sitting on a large amount of unproductive capital which it is not using, it is lying in the reserves of foreign banks and giving us barely any returns," Goyal told the India Economic Conclave in Bengaluru this evening. He said the Bimal Jalan committee has been "to conservative" in assessing the reserve requirements, calling out the recommendation of not accepting the Rs 8 lakh crore of unrealised gains as wrong. "The argument that this is unrealised reserves does not hold water," Goyal said, adding he has read a lot of reports by reputed people which say India has reserves far higher reserves than many other countries. He added in the scenario of appreciating rupee --the potential reason why we need the high reserves -- the RBI will anyways intervene to stop the movement up and pile up more reserves in the process. "Does the RBI ever foresee a position where they will intervene and the rupee will ever become Rs 50 to a dollar? Should the rupee be appreciating? Beyond a point, it will make our goods uncompetitive in the world market," he said. To the criticism that Rs 1.76 lakh crore transfer being a loot, Goyal explained that Rs 1.23 lakh crore is part of the regular surplus transfer. "You need to understand what these reserves are. Rahul Gandhi can say what he likes, but beyond that what is the scope of debating with uninformed and uneducated persons who can't understand elementary economics," he said. Goyal also hit out at the UPA government for signing lopsided free trade agreements with countries like the Asean grouping which overlook national interests. "I am aghast at how the (UPA) government used to take foreign trade and foreign policy. For the last two years, we have been trying to set it right," he said. Goyal said we are not in a recession, but conceded that the growth has slowed down. He said the government is conscious of the same and acting to help the economy. To a question on whether we should expect more stimulus measures, he said we may differ on the adjectives, but more measures are on the way. Goyal countered a question on high unemployment saying it is far from reality, and pointed out that it is still difficult to get a driver or a carpenter.
By Saritha RaiOn a steamy summer morning, dozens of buses pull up outside a cluster of low-slung, blue buildings in Andhra Pradesh. Women dressed in colorful salwar kameezes disembark, their dupatta body scarves billowing as they make their way past hibiscus bushes and posters proclaiming, "Our aim, no accident."The night shift at Foxconn Technology Group's mobile phone plant in Sri City is ending, and thousands of young women are punching out as others stream in to replace them. One of the arrivals is Jennifer Jayadas, a tall, slim 21-year-old who lives several miles away in a two-room hut with no running water.After gobbling down a free breakfast of chapatti flatbreads with a potato-and-pea curry, she dons a checked white hat, apron-shirt, static-resistant footwear and tiny finger gloves. Then Jayadas takes her place at a testing station where she will spend the next eight hours making sure the volume, vibration and other phone features work properly. "Smartphones used to be all made in China," she says. "Now, we make them here."Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., opened its first India factory four years ago. It now operates two assembly plants, with plans to expand those and open two more. India has become an important manufacturing base as the Taipei-based company looks to diversify its operations beyond ChinaSucceeding in India has become all the more urgent since U.S. President Donald Trump launched a trade war last year and announced tariffs on thousands of products manufactured in China, including the gadgetry Foxconn makes for Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and others.In late August, Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric—ordering American companies to start pulling out of China and citing a national security law as justification. He backed off two days later, but many companies have resigned themselves to an inevitable and costly rethinking of their global supply chains. "It's a good business principle not to put all your eggs in a single basket," says Josh Foulger, who runs Foxconn's India operations. "We have to find viable and reliable alternatives. Obviously the alternative location has to be competitive. We can't put a factory in Mexico for manufacturing mobiles. It might have worked 10 years ago, it just won't work today."Foulger, 48, grew up in Chennai and attended the University of Texas in Arlington, before returning to India in the mid-aughts to set up manufacturing for Nokia. He joined Foxconn four years ago to help founder Terry Gou establish assembly plants in India, now the world's fastest-growing smartphone market.Foxconn's first India facility started in 2015 in Sri City, a special economic zone where goods can be imported and exported with limited red tape and foreign companies make everything from diapers to train carriages. Foxconn's plant employs almost 15,000 workers — about 90% of them women — and assembles phones for various manufacturers, including local best-seller Xiaomi. In recent months, workers began testing and assembling Apple's iPhone X, which will be sold in India first and eventually exported.A second mobile phone factory opened in 2017 in Sriperumbudur, about two hours by road from the first facility. It employs 12,000 and is partially automated. "By 2023," Foulger says, "both factories will be much larger and we'll add two more locations."Foxconn currently ships parts in from China, but hopes one day to manufacture displays and printed circuit boards locally. Foulger is angling to capture a third of the domestic smartphone market and 10% of the global one (up from a 2.5% share today). Eventually, he plans to add other products, including Amazon Echo speakers, to the mix. "Until now, India has made for India," he says. "Soon India will make for the world."Seated in an office overlooking the hubbub of the Sriperumbudur plant, the strapping, bearded executive ticks off India's pluses: labour costs that are half that of China's, a vast pool of workers including talented engineers, a government eager to help.They have a staunch partner in Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is under pressure to bring down a jobless rate that currently exceeds 6%. His government's four-year-old "Make in India" policy seeks to turn the country into a manufacturing power by offering incentives to foreign companies to open factories. "The plan is to expand India's $25 billion phone manufacturing to $400 billion by 2024," says Pankaj Mahindroo, who heads the Indian Cellular & Electronics Assn. "A substantial portion of it will be for the export market.There's a long way to go: A mere 7,00,000 electronics manufacturing jobs have been created since Make in India started, according to Mahindroo's industry group. Skilled workers such as industrial designers are in short supply, and there isn't yet much of a supplier network providing crucial components such as batteries, semiconductors and processors. "India is not there yet," says Anshul Gupta, a senior research director at Gartner India. "But things are beginning to fall in place. India can bolster its manufacturing capacity and help the world cut its reliance on China."Foxconn was integral to China's transformation into a manufacturing colossus, and Gou has told Modi that Foxconn could help India do the same. But it took China 30 years to get there. "China's advantage was its massive labour pool that could produce quite cheaply, and they built on that by investing heavily in logistics and transportation," says Andrew Polk, a founding partner with Trivium China, a Beijing-based research firm. "Even as their labour pool advantage is dissipating, they have invested in processes and systems so they can produce efficiently at scale and get the goods to the market."Catching up will require the Indian government and private sector to invest heavily in roads, rails, ports and other infrastructure. "When China did it, global supply chains were fragmented and there wasn't another China," Polk says. "India will not only have to get it right but they have to get it right in a way to better China, and trade wars can only help at the margins." China also had the benefit of being able to grow without worrying too much about the environmental impact. With concern about climate change growing, "that's not going to fly these days," he says.As a two-decade veteran of supply chains in India and elsewhere, Foulger is painfully aware of the challenges. "I can twirl my mustache and say, 'India can replicate China,'" he says. "The reality is that we have shortcomings." While the state government provided land, water and power connections for the Sriperumbudur facility, Foxconn, Dell, Flextronics and other companies banded together to build the industrial park for their factories. Even so, Foulger still needs to ferry in water for his thousands of workers because Chennai city and nearby areas have a severe water shortage. Foulger decided early on to recruit mostly women. Female factory workers are commonplace in China, but unusual in India, where rural women are typically consigned to unpaid household or farm work. Women in this region weren't even allowed to work at night in factories until the local government and the courts intervened four years ago.It was Foulger's mother who planted the idea and persuaded him to give women the opportunity. A teacher whose students often hailed from underprivileged backgrounds, she told him girls are curious, hard working and committed but family circumstances prevent them from going to college. Many are forced to start work early or are pushed into marriage and child rearing at a young age.Foulger says that because most of the Indian manufacturers prefer to hire men, it was easy to hit his hiring targets. But he's had to make accommodations. For instance, the air conditioning had to be turned up to 26 degrees because the woman have never experienced it before. A line manager brought up the issue of sanitary hygiene, and Foulger was initially hesitant. What would be the reaction in their villages, he wondered? Still, he listened and had sanitary pad dispensers installed in the washroom. Foulger also has to pay for extra security for his female recruits and provide buses and dormitory accommodation for those who live far from the factories. But he says it's well worth the extra cost because "women work hard and appreciate the chances given to them." Over the years, Foxconn has been criticized for grueling working conditions at its China factories. A string of suicides of young migrant workers earlier this decade shocked the world and prompted the company to create a help hotline, boost pay and install safety netting to discourage jumpers. In August, Foxconn fired two executives at a Chinese plant that assembles devices for Amazon after a labour group alleged it slashed wages and flouted laws to help deal with rising U.S. tariffs.During visits to Foxconn's two India factories, there was no visible sign of sweat-shop conditions. Workers there mostly complain about the monotony. From the minute they enter the shop floor to the end of an eight-hour shift, work repeats in a relentless cycle. The daily production target has to be met at all costs. Row upon row of women put together each phone part by part, inspecting each handset for visible defects. Shivaparvati Kallivettu, 24, spends her days testing the phone's audio and examining batteries and SIM card trays, explaining that her main respite comes every morning in the factory canteen when she has breakfast with four close friends.Most women take the jobs with specific goals in mind, such as sending their kids to better schools or clearing family debt. The pay hoists them over the poverty line. Jayadas gets about Rs 9,000 monthly (which is about a third of the average Chinese factory wage), free bus rides and two wholesome meals. To help avoid tedium, the company teaches workers at least 10 skills in the testing, packing and assembly sections of the line so they can be rotated to different jobs. Still, many of the workers treat the job as a stop-gap. Recently, 400 women failed to show up for their daily shift. Managers discovered they were all taking the government's teacher recruitment exam — a job that pays a third of what they make at Foxconn but provides less tangible compensations.After her shift, Jayadas boards the bus, reaching her home a little before 4 p.m. She helps with the cooking, then fetches 12 buckets of water from a street tap for the family's daily needs. Her father's income repairing radios and DVD players is meagre and erratic, and her entire paycheck goes to her parents. "First, the house has to be fixed," Jayadas says gesturing toward the flimsy roof and decrepit walls. "Then, I want to save up for a beautician's course."
NEW DELHI: Domestic media entities have welcomed the decision to bring digital news media under the ambit of the FDI policy regime. The Union Cabinet had decided on Wednesday to cap the FDI limit for "uploading/streaming of news and current affairs through digital media" at 26% — the same as for print media.Indian Newspaper Society president Jayant Mammen Mathew said: "It is a right decision for the government to cap FDI in digital media at 26%, which is in line with the FDI (limit) in print. This will ensure Indian news sites have a level playing field with news aggregators and other digital news sites."Government officials said there had been a vacuum for decades with regard to FDI policy for the sector, which had led to a deluge of news and other content from entities — including news aggregators — without any checks and balances. In this context, they said, digital applications that disseminate news include aggregators that 'source' or 'link' news articles from multiple sources into a single feed for users. This news content may be in the form of text, video, images, etc, and covers the entire spectrum of news and current affairs — including politics, national security, business and economy, and local city developments.Sensitive SectorFormer secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Ramesh Abhishek said: "The government has provided much-needed clarity on FDI in digital media. This has been rightly kept on par with FDI in print media. This provision is likely to apply to all those who disseminate news through digital media in any form. The policy should cover aggregators of news as well."Official sources said the FDI policy in the news media space has always been regulated closely, given the sensitivity of the sector. 70918735 Hence, the mushrooming of news aggregators was a source of concern, especially as China has become an aggressive investor in this space with many Chinese-owned or funded entities creating and curating content.In contrast, China bars or tightly controls media and social media entities in all respects, with Facebook and Twitter blocked in mainland China by censors.These companies include Dailyhunt, which has 207 million monthly active users in India. The company is majority-owned (75%-plus) by foreign entities, of which 17% is with Byte-Dance — the largest Chinese news company. Indian promoters hold only about 20% stake in Dailyhunt.ByteDance also owns 100% of Helo, the fastest-growing vernacular news app in India with 50 m1illion monthly active users. Helo aims to hit the 100-million-user mark by 2019-end. ByteDance also wholly owns TikTok, the fastest-growing social network in India.Hence, the largest Chinese news company wholly owns, or has large stakes in, the biggest news, vernacular language news, as well as social networks in India with no controls whatsoever until the recent FDI regulation.There are also a host of other Chinese news aggregators, including UCNews (owned by Alibaba), Opera (whose largest shareholder is Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd) and NewsDog (incubated in China and funded by Tencent).Sources said these aggregators are far bigger than traditional news outlets, and owing to the large financial backing from Chinese investors, have invested aggressively in marketing and growth. A few of these have spent more than Rs 100 crore each per year just on marketing.

MUMBAI: IndiGo Friday announed the appointment of a new chief financial officer and the resignation of the incumbent one. Aditya Pande, from General Electric replaced Rohit Philip. The latter will resign from the company on September 16.Prior to IndiGo, Pande was with GE since 1998. His last position was as CFO, GE Healthcare (India, Africa, ASEAN and Asia-Pacific). Previously, he was Group CFO-GE South Asia where he was leading the finance function for its business across all verticals. IndiGo earlier this year signed a $20 billion contract with CFM-a joint venture between GE and France's Safran-to buy engines for its planes. Philip had joined the airline in July 2016 as its CFO. Philip had close to three decades with United Airlines also the former employer of co-founder Rakesh Gangwal. He is said to have been brought in at Gangwal's behest.Gangwal has been engaged in a bitter feud with partner Rahul Bhatia on what he says are irregular related party transactions and unusually skewed shareholder rights to Bhatia.
Mumbai: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday announced four major bank mergers, by consolidating Punjab National Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank to create India's second-largest lender; merging Canara Bank with Syndicate Bank to create the fourth-largest PSU lender, bringing together Union Bank of India, Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank and Allahabad Bank with Indian Bank.However, before betting on these stocks, it is important to have a look at how in the past merging banks performed after consolidation announcements.A quick look at the data shows that these stocks had a mixed reactions in the days until the Union Cabinet gave its approval and also till the merger was effective.SBI mergerAfter the State Bank of India (SBI) approved its merger with five associate banks and Bhartiya Mahila Bank in August 2016, the largest bank's stock reacted positively and it added around 9 per cent until the Cabinet approved the merger in February 2017.Its associate banks had mixed reactions. While State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur and State Bank of Travancore's stocks rose 7 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, during the same period, State Bank of Mysore lost more than 9 per cent.Here's a look at how these stocks performed since SBI's approval and till the merger became effective.SBI added a total of 11.8 per cent, while State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur and State Bank of Travancore rose 14.5 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. On the other hand, State Bank of Mysore lost 2.5 per cent.Since SBI's approval in August 2016 till date, the bank stock has added a mere 10 per cent.Bank of Baroda mergerAfter the announcement of Bank of Baroda merging Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank with itself in September 2018, the stocks of the first two banks dropped 11.6 per cent and 14.6 per cent, respectively, until the Cabinet approval on January 2, 2019. Dena Bank, on the other hand, saw its stock swell by 12.5 per cent.Since the announcement in 2018 till the merger becoming effective in March 2019, these three stocks have lost 3.6 per cent, 9.7 per cent and 29.8 per cent, respectively. Since September 2018 till date, Bank of Baroda stock has shed 22.4 per cent, albeit in a weak market.In case of four mega bank mergers announced on Friday, experts say that it would be difficult to chart a course for these stocks, even as a knee-jerk reaction is likely to be positive."With the success of the past mergers with SBI and Bank of Baroda, initial reaction may be positive, but a strong outperformance is not likely," said Deven Choksey, Group Managing Director at KR Choksey Investment Managers.The long term objective cannot be doubted, he said."The mergers would mean that in the next 6-8 quarters, you would see a large amount of rationalisation either in the form of branches or cost structure, or management restructuring, and arriving at a business model with the banks," the expert added. According to Choksey the stock prices will take cues from how these steps pan out."The current model is full of asset liability mismatch, as they accept money in savings account and lend for long-term projects," he added.Some experts felt the recent erosion of value in the PSU pack, coupled with the recent recapitalisation and merger announcements, made the stocks of these state-run banks attractive."We will have to await the merger ratio announcement. However, after the recent steep correction, these PSU banks are looking attractive," said independent analyst Ambareesh Baliga.Consolidation will improve efficiency and cut down operational costs, he said. "Time is still ripe to pick these PSU banks."
Mumbai: Mutual Fund (MF) houses can now join hands with banks to rejig exposure and throw lifeline to stressed corporates --- albeit with a few conditions.In the past five years mutual funds have bank rolled several corporates by subscribing to debt instruments like debentures, extended short term finance by investing in commercial papers issued by companies as well as financed holding companies of business houses directly controlled by promoters.Under the circumstances, banks were often unable to clear loan restructuring proposals as mutual funds could not participate such an exercise in the absence of any clear guideline from the market regulator Sebi.On Friday, Sebi came out with guidelines that would allow mutual funds to restructure their exposure to debt laden corporates. Among the conditions, MFs will have to segregate the portfolio pursuant to a credit event for signing of the inter-creditor agreement (ICA). Fund houses must also inform credit rating agencies of any such agreement."If the revised credit rating of those securities is downgraded to below investment grade, the AMCs (asset management companies) may segregate the portfolio, if not segregated already, pursuant to which AMCs can at their option sign the ICA," Sebi said in a letter addressed to AMFI, an MF industry body.The regulator said the signing of ICA must be in the interest of investors and AMCs should take approval from their board and trustees. Sebi also said that if the resolution plan imposes conditions on the AMCs which are not in line with Sebi rules, then AMCs are free to exit the ICA altogether with the same rights as if it had never signed the ICA."In such a circumstance, the resolution plan would not be binding on the AMCs," Sebi said. AMCs would also be free to exit the ICA if the RP is not implemented within 180 days from the end of review period.As banks struggled to cobble together a rescue plan for DHFL, mutual funds, having exposure to the troubled housing finance company, had last month sought Sebi's approval for being part of ICA.An inter-creditor agreement is a contract between the debtor and all the creditors when the former is no longer able to pay its dues.
BENGALURU | MUMBAI: A bunch of US lawsuits related to opioid painkillers could hurt at least two Indian IT companies, as clients face possible bankruptcy or cut discretionary spending to pay for legal settlements.Forty-eight US states and more than 2,000 local governments have sued drug makers and retailers for being negligent in marketing and distributing opioids — painkillers derived from opium — which has sparked an addiction crisis.Purdue Pharma, which is being primarily blamed for the opioid epidemic and is in settlement talks, is expected to pay as much as $12 billion and file for bankruptcy to re-emerge as a public trust, with owners, the billionaire Sackler family, set to lose control of the company.Cognizant and HCL Tech are IT services vendors to Purdue Pharma. ET could not independently ascertain the extent of their exposure to the company. Cognizant declined to comment for this story, while HCL Technologies did not respond to ET's request seeking comment."Given that several other pharma companies could also face huge losses from the opioid issues, we may see other firms file for bankruptcy or find that they have to cut discretionary spending to pay for the liabilities," Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of IT consultancy Everest Research, said.70904794 Earlier this week, a judge ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million in the first trial of the more than 2,000 lawsuits targeting drug manufacturers. Those facing suits include drug makers Allergan and Endo International, distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen, and retailers like Walmart, CVS and RiteAid. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tallied more than 400,000 opioid-related deaths across the US since 2000.The potential settlements impact companies' spending on IT. After US banks were forced to pay out billions of dollars in settlements in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, IT spending in that sector took a hit.For Indian IT services firms, the Life Sciences and Healthcare vertical forms a large part of revenue, although challenges with insurers have crimped some growth. Cognizant, in particular, has struggled with revenue in this space, with four clients merging and one lifescience's company insourcing business. Cognizant has a bigger share, with around 29% of business coming from the vertical, while for HCL Tech the share has been around 13% on average in the last few quarters, according to Mrinal Rai, principal analyst at ISG, a global technology research and advisory firm.Cognizant has had a long association with Purdue, managing its SAP platform and business applications. "Cognizant does core ERP work for Purdue, even in bankruptcy that will have to continue. The actual monetary exposure is minimal," a source with direct knowledge of Cognizant's exposure said.Rai also said Cognizant may see limited impact from the impending bankruptcy. "It is not expected to impact Cognizant much. Cognizant has similar engagement with other pharma customers, too, who are four times the size of Purdue."On the other hand, HCL's multi-million dollar deal with Purdue was signed in 2014, and revolves around managing its IT infrastructure, including data centers and cloud.Both the IT services providers would have mechanisms to protect against such events, Rai added. "Service providers maintain certain insurances to meet such unexpected instances. So, it would have little impact on them.""The only real concern is in the event that the services are not critical or they are viewed as well over market," Bendor-Samuel said.
