The evidence shows that supposed fishing boats around contested islands are part of an extensive maritime militia.
The Spratly Islands, occupied by five different claimants, are the most hotly contested part of the South China Sea. Thanks to the harbors and supporting infrastructure Beijing constructed on its outposts there over the last five years, most vessels operating around the Spratlys are Chinese. And most of those are at least part-time members of China's official maritime militia, an organization whose role Beijing frequently downplays but that is playing an increasingly visible role in its assertion of maritime claims.
A small cohort of analysts continue to cast doubt on the existence and activities of the maritime militia. The best-intentioned offer alternative explanations for the curious behaviors of the Chinese fishing fleets, though those don't stand up to scrutiny. Other writers, especially those affiliated with Chinese institutions and state media, seek to present an alternate version of reality by artfully cropping satellite imagery, cherry-picking data, or simply ignoring the facts and attacking the motives of those presenting evidence of militia activities.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States hopes to re-launch trade talks with China after President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping meet in Japan on Saturday, but Washington will not accept any conditions around the U.S. use of tariffs in the dispute, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on another $325 billion of goods, covering nearly all the remaining Chinese imports into the United States - including consumer products such as cellphones, computers and clothing - if the meeting with Xi produces no progress in resolving a host of U.S. complaints around the way China does business.
JERUSALEM, June 26 (Reuters) - Israel is experiencing unexplained GPS disruptions in its airspace but measures are in place to allow safe landings and takeoffs at its main international airport, the government said on Wednesday.
The announcement by the Israel Airports Authority (IAA) followed a report on Tuesday by the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) that "many" pilots had lost satellite signals from the Global Positioning System around Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.
Confirming there had been GPS disruptions for approximately the past three weeks, an IAA statement said these affected only airborne crews and not terrestrial navigation systems.
Israeli authorities had worked from the outset to locate the source of the problem and fix it, it added.
Asked if an explanation for the disruption had been found, an IAA spokesman said: "No. I don't know."
WNU Editor: Someone is messing around with the satellite feed, and I doubt that it is someone in the Israeli military or intelligence community that is doing this. So the option is either Syria, Iran via through Hezbollah, or some other actor.
The lack of support seems to be linked to a widespread lack of awareness.
The Armed Forces Charity SSAFA is targeting a third of people in the UK who say they do not actively support the armed forces.
The research found one in five people in the UK would never support a military charity and almost 50 percent of those aged 16 to 34 said they do not actively support the armed forces.
The lack of support seems to be linked to a widespread lack of awareness of who the Forces are and what they do.
More than 2,000 people took part in the survey that was conducted in May this year.
June 25 (UPI) -- A new survey has shown about a third of Americans would support a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea, if it resumes long-range missile testing.
The research by YouGov and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was based on a fictional news article showing North Korea resuming the tests and gave respondents a choice on how the United States should respond, including the probability each response might provoke retaliation from Pyongyang.
Most voters agree with President Donald Trump's decision to call off airstrikes in Iran last week, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll that also shows little public support for U.S. military action in the Persian Gulf.
According to the poll, just over a third of voters, 36 percent, support military action in Iran after the Iranians shot down an unmanned U.S. drone aircraft — fewer than the 42 percent who oppose it. Roughly two-in-10 voters, 22 percent, said they have no opinion.
The recent oil tanker attacks in the Gulf of Oman reinforce the need to reestablish a highly visible U.S. naval deterrent in the Middle East. For eight months last year, no aircraft carrier strike group plied the region, the longest such interruption this millennium. With the United States needing a more robust posture against Iran and confronting renewed challenges in Asia and Europe, several immediate measures and concerted longer-term efforts are critical to ensure America has the carriers it needs.
The requirement to maintain carrier presence in the Middle East is a critical part of a broader national security strategy, in which U.S. global security interests necessitate a worldwide force presence. Indeed, the Navy's mission demands remain as high as those of the Cold War, calling on ships to be everywhere seemingly at once, but today's fleet is less than half the size it was 30 years ago.
Lieutenant General Robert Ashley Jr, director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, warned the recent drone and oil tanker attacks were a bid to push back against sanctions
EXCLUSIVE – Iran is likely at "an inflection point," and the recent attacks on tankers and the downing of a U.S. surveillance drone appear to be part of an effort to change "the status quo," the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) told Fox News exclusively.
"I'd say that they're probably at an inflection point right now," the director, Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley Jr., explained in his first national TV interview as the leader of the nearly 17-thousand strong agency. Director Ashley said, based on their activity over the last several years, the Iranians would probably say they were in a "favorable" position with their influence over the Iraqi government and the likelihood their longtime regional ally -- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad -- will remain in power.
US media reported Washington launched cyber attacks against Iranian missile control systems and a spy network after Tehran downed an American surveillance drone on June 20
A claim by US officials that a retaliatory cyber attack ordered by the White House crippled Iranian missile launching systems will remain almost impossible to substantiate, experts say.
Citing unnamed sources, US media reported last week that the attack launched by the US Cyber Command disabled computers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard unit responsible for shooting down an American surveillance drone over the Strait of Hormuz on June 20.
But Tehran denied the reports, saying "no succesful attack has been carried out" by the United States against the Islamic republic.
Iran's ministry of roads and urban development has announced that Islamic Republic Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ordered 25 military bases to be moved out of cities.
The website of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development has reported that the military bases will receive alternative venues and the current properties they occupy will be used for urban development.
The website says Iran's parliament approved a law nine years ago to move military bases and barracks out of urban centers, but the full implementation of the law has faced problems, especially in the capital Tehran.

* Steven Mnuchin says this week's meeting of the leaders of the world's two biggest economies will be 'very important' * Chinese president calls a meeting of the Communist Party's inner circle in preparation for talks with Donald Trump
A trade deal between China and the United States is "90 per cent completed", US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said just three days before a high-stakes meeting between the countries' two top leaders.
In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, Mnuchin said this week's Group of 20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump are expected to meet, would be "a very important G20".
* NATO has said Russia's SSC-8 missile violates terms of a 1987 missile treaty. * The alliance has said it will act to mitigate the Russian threat. * Russia has in turn said it would take "countervailing military measures."
Moscow has said it will take "countervailing military measures" should NATO fulfil any threat related to Russia's nuclear-ready cruise missile system.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday that Russia must dismantle the short-range system, or the alliance will be forced to respond, adding that NATO-member defense ministers would now look at next steps "in the event that Russia does not comply."
No detail is yet known over what NATO might do although Stoltenberg said the alliance would not engage in any arms race.

Almost nobody knows where they are at any given time, yet nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines quietly patrol dark domains of the undersea realm in strategically vital waters around the globe, bringing the prospect of unprecedented destruction upon potential enemies -- all as a way to keep the peace.
It would not be an exaggeration to call the first "cut of steel" for the lead ship in a class of new nuclear-armed Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines a historic occasion, as the boat is intended to usher in a new era in firepower-reliant strategic deterrence.
A "cut-of-steel" for advanced construction of the first boat took place at Newport News Shipbuilding June 17 -- three weeks early -- marking the formal beginning of a long and carefully labored process of building the most technically advanced ballistic missile submarine ever to exist.
Despite repeated diplomatic setbacks and heavy fighting among rival forces near Tripoli, UN envoy Ghassan Salame met over the weekend with Libyan National Army (LNA) commander Gen. Khalifa Hifter in al-Rajmeh in suburban Benghazi. The men discussed possible diplomatic solutions to the country's crisis — but to no avail.
Libya has been in turmoil since 2011, when longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi was ousted. Since launching Operation Karama (Operation Dignity) in Benghazi in May 2014, Hifter's group in the east has fought for control of the country against the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli in the west.
In recent years, small drones have made their way onto battlefields where they've been used to surveil US forces or drop bombs on them, prompting the US military to develop new ways to take them down. This week, the US Air Force unveiled a new tool that can be stationed at bases around the world: a high-powered microwave system called Tactical High Power Microwave Operational Responder (THOR), which is designed to protect bases against swarms of drones.
The Air Force Research Laboratory at the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, developed the system, which uses short bursts of high-powered microwaves to disable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). According to local TV station KRQE, the system was developed quickly (18 months) for about $15 million. It runs off of a generator and is stored in a shipping container, meaning it can be transported almost anywhere and set up within a couple of hours
WNU Editor: This weapon appears to be ideal for protecting bases. But troops on the ground will need something more mobile when they are involved in operations.
* The US has been putting increased pressure on the Chinese maritime militia, a paramilitary sea force disguised as a fishing fleet, in an effort to deter provocations in the South China Sea. * The US Navy's top admiral told his Chinese counterpart earlier this year that provocations by militia vessels would be treated the same as those carried out by Chinese navy warships. * Last week, the US ambassador to the Philippines told reporters that US defense obligations to its ally could be triggered by maritime militia attacks. * Troubling incidents involving Chinese fishing vessels are not uncommon in the South China Sea, and while this rhetorical shift in the US position could deter aggression to encourage stability, it could also signal a lower threshold for confrontation and, possibly, conflict in the disputed waterway.
The US has been steadily ratcheting up the pressure on China's sea forces in a way that could lower the threshold for conflict in the South China Sea, which is already a hotbed of tension.
The US is signalling a tougher stance toward the Chinese maritime militia, a paramilitary sea force disguised as a fishing fleet that is known to sometimes harass foreign rivals to enforce China's vast sovereignty claims in the contested waterway.
The Chinese maritime militia "thrives within the shadows of plausible deniability," according to Andrew Erickson, a leading expert at the US Naval War College, but it can no longer hide like it once could.
WNU Editor: Their maritime militia follows the rules and guidelines as outlined by the Chinese government via through their Navy. This change in U.S. policy is long overdue.

* At the tactical level, the US military has performed well in Afghanistan. * But their political leaders and general officers on the ground and in Washington have failed them, argues retired Army Brig. Gen. Donald C. Bolduc.
War is often filled with its share of mistakes and errors in judgment. It's the nature of this lethal business.
Some are the result of changing circumstances on the ground, while others are more systemic. The United States has committed more than a few during its 18 years in Afghanistan.
Indeed, the entire war is a story of one mistake after another, putting success or "victory" as we typically define it further out of reach.
WNU Editor: I would add a few other mistakes. (1) Not getting a handle on the culture of corruption that exists in almost every aspect of Afghanistan life. (2) The role of Pakistan in providing safe havens and permitting its madrassas to be used as recruiting centres. and (3) limiting military operations against the Taliban with rules of engagement that do not make sense (my favourite one was the one that did not permit the raiding of homes of suspected Taliban fighters at night).
* Two US service members were killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday * The identities of the soldiers will not be released until their families are notified * It's not clear if the deaths were the result of the war, which has gone on 18 years
The U.S. military says two service members have been killed in Afghanistan. It did not offer any details surrounding the circumstances of their deaths.
The statement says the killings occurred Wednesday, a day after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a quick visit to the Afghan capital of Kabul where he said Washington was hopeful of a peace deal before September 1.
It's not clear if the deaths were the result of the war, which at nearly 18 years is America's longest running.
The future USS Billings is now tied up in Montreal while the Navy assesses the full extent of the damage and investigates what happened.
The future USS Billings, a new Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship that the U.S. Navy recently took delivery of, sustained damage after hitting another vessel in Montreal, Canada yesterday. The warship had been on its way to future homeport in Mayport, Florida ahead of its formal commissioning and the hope is that this incident will not delay its entry into service.
The incident reportedly occurred on June 24, 2019, after two tugs assisting the future Billings in Montreal harbor cast off their two lines. For still unknown reasons, the LCS lost control and smacked up against the side of the Rosaire Desgagnes, a bulk cargo ship, which was moored nearby, according to First Coast News. A spokesperson for Naval Surface Force Atlantic told The Maritime Executive that the Navy ship's starboard bridge wing had been damaged, as a result, but also that a full damage assessment is underway.
WNU Editor: The accident happened on June 24, a big national holiday in Quebec that every takes time off from work to enjoy the celebrations. I am willing to bet that the crews that were on those tugs were the "B Team".
(OSAKA, Japan) — Trade and geopolitical tensions, and the looming threat of climate change, are on the agenda as Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders gather in Osaka, Japan, for a summit of the Group of 20 major economies.
While prospects for detente in the trade war between the United States and China are in the spotlight, many participating are calling for a broader perspective in tackling global crises.
“This will be a difficult G-20, there are global challenges to be met, we need to step up to avoid the climate threats, … reform the World Trade Organization and prepare for the digital revolution,” Donald Tusk, president of the European Union Council, said at a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
The summit comes at a time of growing international tensions, for example, over Iran’s nuclear deal and trade between the United States and China.
President Donald Trump was due to arrive later Thursday, and to meet with Xi on Saturday as the G-20 meetings conclude.
Xi was also expected to hold talks with Abe, seeking a breakthrough after years of strain over territorial disputes. It is his first visit to Japan since he became China’s top leader in 2013.
A visit by Xi to North Korea last week raised hopes for some movement in the impasse with the U.S. over the North’s nuclear program. Trump also is due to visit South Korea after leaving Japan, raising speculation there may be more news on Korean issues during his Asian travels.
Trump has at times found himself at odds with other leaders in such international events, particularly on issues such as Iran, climate change and trade.
Abe has sought to make the Osaka summit a landmark for progress on environmental issues, including climate change. French President Emmanuel Macron reinforced that message on Wednesday during a state visit to Tokyo, where he described climate change as a “red line” issue for endorsing a G-20 communique.
“It’s the moment to be truly in time in the face of history and to fulfill our responsibility,” Macron said. “I will not sign if we don’t go further in our ambition about climate change. That would mean all those summits are for nothing.”
On the periphery of the Osaka meetings, activists belonging to a coalition of 50 environmental groups protested outside a coal-fired power plant in the nearby port city of Kobe.
They chanted “No coal Japan!” while raising an inflatable depicting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, taking aim at his efforts to promote such projects across the globe. They also want more aggressive efforts by the Japanese government to help curb climate change.
Japan is one of the largest funders of coal-fired power stations overseas, having ramped up their use inside the country after most nuclear power plants were idled following the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima. The effort to offset the loss of the generating capacity has slowed Japan’s own progress in curbing the carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.
“We made this balloon and organized this protest to make him feel embarrassed, have him feel the pressure inside and outside Japan,” said Hanna Song of the Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society. “We want him to stop funding coal and not to make climate change worse.”
The leaders, arriving steadily throughout the day under heavy monsoon rains, were well insulated from such protests by the security blanketing Osaka, a business center of 2.7 million in western Japan.
The authorities closed roads and brought in platoons of extra police.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The Australian government said Thursday it was “urgently seeking clarification” on reports that an Australian had been detained in North Korea, which the attorney-general described as a “matter of the utmost seriousness.”The family of Alek Sigley said they had no confirmation that the 29-year-old Pyongyang university student had been detained. But the family’s statement said Sigley had not been in digital contact with family and friends since Tuesday morning which was unusual for him.Attorney-General Christian Porter, who is based in Sigley’s hometown of Perth, told Perth Radio 6PR: “It is a very unusual set of circumstances.”
“This particular jurisdiction, most Australians’ common sense would tell them, makes this a matter of the utmost seriousness,” Porter said.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian man who has been reported as being detained in North Korea, but did not confirm his identity.
“The department is urgently seeking clarification. Owing to our privacy obligations, we will not provide further comment,” a department statement said.
Sigley said on social media that he was studying Korean literature at Kim Il Sung University and ran guided tours through a travel company he founded, Tongil Tours.
He told Australian Broadcasting Corp. two years ago that he wanted to break down negative stereotypes about the country.
“If we thought it was unsafe, we would stop doing these tours,” Sigley said. “We wouldn’t be able to bear the moral and legal responsibility of bringing people to North Korea if it was dangerous.”
Official media in North Korea haven’t mentioned the reported arrest.
South Korean television station Channel A cited an unidentified source in reporting the arrest but the source told the network it wasn’t immediately clear why Sigley had been detained.
Australia does not have an embassy in North Korea, but consular assistance can be provided to Australians by the Swedish Embassy on a limited basis.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, the country’s main spy agency, said it cannot confirm the report.
In March this year, Sigley wrote for Guardian Australia about living in North Korea, saying that as a long-term foreign resident on a student visa he had “nearly unprecedented access to Pyongyang.”
“I’m free to wander around the city, without anyone accompanying me,” he wrote. “Interaction with locals can be limited at times, but I can shop and dine almost anywhere I want.”

Associated Press journalist Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, South Korea, contributed to this report.
(WASHINGTON) — The fun and flattery are largely over for President Donald Trump as he embarks on his third overseas trip in a month, this time facing a flurry of international crises, tense negotiations and a growing global to-do list.
Trump heads first to Osaka, Japan, for the annual Group of 20 summit, then on to South Korea for consultations on North Korea’s nuclear program. The agenda for his four-day trip is as laden with hazards for the president as it is light on the ceremonial pomp that marked his recent state visits to Japan and the United Kingdom.
The showdown between the U.S. and Iran, a trade war with China and the threat of fresh election interference by Russia are just some of the issues confronting the American leader who has shown little patience for the subtleties of global interactions and whose administration has struggled to grapple with simultaneous challenges.
The president will meet one-on-one with at least eight world leaders on the summit’s sidelines as he faces mounting pressures to deliver results on a lengthy roster of global concerns. But White House officials are playing down prospects of specific accomplishments in what will almost certainly be Trump’s most consequential trip of the year.
Trump said before departing Wednesday that he’d be meeting “competitors” from other nations, adding, “That’s OK. We’re doing great. We’re doing better than any of them.”
His calendar includes sit-downs with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Turkey’s Recep Teyyip Erdogan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, all of whom have authoritarian tendencies, as well as disquieted allies including Germany’s Angela Merkel and more contented ones such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
The president left Washington days after pulling back from the brink of armed conflict with Iran and as he trades threats over its nuclear program and support for terror groups. With Iran threatening to breach uranium enrichment limits set in the 2015 nuclear accord as soon as Thursday, Trump will be asked to articulate his strategy for containing Iran to skeptical world leaders after pulling the U.S. from the deal last year.
“The leaders are going to be pressing the president for clarity and then to get into a unified allied approach to the challenge, and it’s just simply unclear to me whether we have that policy or that approach,” said Heather Conley, director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Europe program.
Trump will also find himself face-to-face with Putin for the first time since special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation ended without finding evidence that the Trump campaign criminally conspired with Russia during the 2016 election. It will also be their first meeting since their summit in Helsinki in July 2018, when Trump declined to side with U.S. intelligence agencies over Putin on the question of election interference, leading to an uproar at home and abroad.
Trump told reporters as he left the White House that he expects a “very good conversation” with Putin but added that “what I say to him is none of your business.”
White House officials said Trump would warn Putin to refrain from interfering in U.S. elections, though Trump has been criticized for joining with Putin in attacking Mueller’s probe, and advisers worry he may do so once again.
Last November, Trump canceled a planned meeting with Putin at the G-20 in Argentina after Russia seized two Ukrainian vessels and their crew in the Sea of Azov, but the continued detention of the crew members does not appear to be deterring the leaders from meeting this time. Aside from Iran, the leaders are expected to discuss hotspots in Syria and Venezuela, as well as nuclear weapons.
With Xi, a senior administration official said, Trump’s top aim will be rebooting trade negotiations between the two countries after they collapsed earlier this year. In an interview with Fox Business Network on Wednesday, Trump threatened again to impose even stiffer tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S. if talks remain stalemated. But officials in both nations are looking for an off-ramp as concerns mount about the economic impact of the yearlong trade war.
Trump’s meeting with Erdogan will be his first since announcing, and then backing off, a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria. There also is a growing rift between the two NATO allies over Turkey’s planned purchase of a Russian surface-to-air missile system and a U.S. threat to suspend planned deliveries to Turkey of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Trump will also meet with Crown Prince Mohammed, who U.S. intelligence services concluded ordered the grisly killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident. Trump has long been loath to scold authoritarian leaders for human rights abuses. He has continued to pursue a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, a lynchpin to the U.S.’ Middle East strategy to counter Iran, despite its role in furthering humanitarian disaster in Yemen’s civil war.
White House officials said there are no plans for a meeting in South Korea between Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, with whom the president has restarted diplomacy-by-correspondence since their failed Hanoi summit in March. But Trump is to speak with South Korean President Moon Jae-in about efforts to bring North Korea back to the negotiating table as the American holds out hope for an elusive legacy-making nuclear deal. Moon told The Associated Press and other news agencies Wednesday that the U.S. and North Korea are holding “behind-the-scenes talks” to arrange a third summit between the two leaders.
Never fully willing to pass up domestic politics, even when overseas, Trump will have to divide his attention between affairs of state and his reelection effort as Democrats are set to face off Wednesday and Thursday in their first debates in the process to select their nominee to challenge him next fall.
Trump, who was aboard Air Force One during the first matchup Wednesday evening, gave it a succinct review on Twitter: “BORING!”
But he will be in meetings with world leaders when Democratic front-runner Joe Biden and others take the stage on the second night. Trump aides believe the scheduling fluke will highlight the signature advantage of incumbency — that the president already occupies the job the Democrats want.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Thursday South Korea must stop trying to mediate between Pyongyang and Washington.The North’s Foreign Ministry also repeated its demand that the United States must work out mutually acceptable proposals to salvage a deadlocked nuclear negotiations by the end of December.The statement was an apparent expression of displeasure with Seoul and Washington over stalled nuclear diplomacy. There have been no public official meetings between the United States and North Korea since the breakdown of the second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi in February.The Hanoi summit fell apart after Trump rejected Kim’s calls for sweeping sanctions relief in return for a limited disarmament step. The summit’s collapse was a blow to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, a liberal who shuttled between Washington and Pyongyang to facilitate talks between the countries.
Talks of revival of diplomacy, however, has flared after Trump and Kim recently exchanged personal letters. Moon said earlier this week that U.S. and North Korean officials were holding “behind-the-scene talks” to try to set up a third summit between Trump and Kim. Moon also said talks between the two Koreas have been under way through unspecified “various channels.”
On Thursday, Kwon Jong Gun, chief of the North Korean Foreign Ministry’s U.S. affairs department, said it will “never go through” South Korea when it deals with the United States. Kwon said relations between the United States and North Korea are not an issue that South Korea should meddle in.
He also dismissed as false the comments by Moon and other South Korean officials that there are various exchanges and unofficial talks between the two Koreas.
The statement came two days before Trump visits South Korea for a two-day trip.
PARIS (AP) — A preliminary investigation found no evidence to suggest that a fire that gutted large parts of Notre Dame Cathedral was criminal, the prosecutor’s office said Wednesday.The prosecutor’s office said in a statement that several hypotheses about the cause of the April 15 blaze include a malfunctioning electrical system or a smoldering cigarette — to be further investigated in a new probe.The prosecutor’s office announced the opening of a judicial investigation led by three judges for “involuntary degradation by fire through manifestly deliberate violation” of security rules or simple imprudence. It targets “X,” meaning anyone or any entity suspected.
The 13th-century cathedral was under renovation at the time of the fire and scaffolding crisscrossed the back of the edifice where the spire was once located.
The fire tore through the roof, destroying the spire which toppled in flames and vast sections of the interior. It has left the crippled monument, once a major tourist attraction, barricaded to the public and the faithful.
In the preliminary investigation, judicial police examined more than 1,200 clues and heard testimony from around 100 people.
“If certain deficiencies, by which the size of the disaster could be the consequence, were made clear, the investigations have not thus far allowed us to determine the causes of the fire,” the prosecutor’s office said.
As the detective work continues, workers are taking on what officials have said it one of the most complex operations — cutting down the 50,000 tubes of scaffolding erected for the initial pre-fire renovation. The tubes reached more than 800 C (1,472 F) during the fire, according to a statement Wednesday by the Notre Dame Foundation.
French President Emmanuel Macron has said he wants the renovations completed in five years. Paris hosts the Summer Olympics in 2024, but numerous experts question whether the cathedral can be operational by then.
The costs of the gargantuan task of renovating the monument won’t be known until Spring 2020, but they are bound to be as colossal as the cathedral — and current headaches over payments. However, some relief was in sight.
The Notre Dame Foundation announced Wednesday that major French donors, Bernard Arnault, his family and luxury giant LVMH Group have made an initial payment of 10 million euros on a pledge of 200 million as have Francois and Francois-Henri Pinault who pledged 100 million. No funds had previously been forthcoming.
The Notre Dame Foundation said the initial payments were made “at the initiative” of the foundation. However, word that two of France’s richest men were finally issuing funds came after The Associated Press and others reported this month that major French donors weren’t paying into their pledges but instead waiting to see how the funds would be used.
The Notre Dame Foundation’s Cathedrale de Paris Fund has so far raised 396 million euros in donations and pledges. But pure donations to pay companies working on the site total 38 million euros — coming from 42,000 individuals plus 60 companies and public authorities, the foundation said.
Europeans are bracing for an intense early-summer heatwave, with record-breaking temperatures forecast in parts of France and Germany before the weekend — less than a year after the region’s last extreme heatwave.
Temperatures are expected to break 104°F in much of western Europe, far outstripping the comfortable weather normally enjoyed in the region at this time of year.
The warmest temperatures are expected on Thursday and Friday. But 51 German weather stations have already recorded temperatures never seen before in June, the World Meteorological Organization said Wednesday.
“We’re talking about an exceptional, even unprecedented heatwave,” says Guillaume Woznica, a meteorologist at LCI. “Temperatures are going to be near 104°F for most of the country and because it’s arriving at a particularly humid time of the year, it feels particularly unpleasant.”
France’s national weather agency, Météo-France predicts a peak of 113°F is forecast in the southern towns of Nîmes and Carpentras on Friday.
The highest temperature ever recorded in France was 111°F, during a heatwave in August 2003. The record for June was of 107°F, set in the same year.
That 2003 heatwave killed 15,000 people in France and authorities are urging the public to take the heat seriously. Most of the country’s regions are on an orange alert – the second highest weather warning.
Three northern regions of France have ordered schools to close because of a lack of air conditioning. In Paris and Lyon, city governments have banned all but the least polluting vehicles to avoid the increased risk of smog in hot weather.
Woznica says the timing of the heatwave also makes it “historic” “We’re only one week into summer officially. To have such a widespread, long-lasting, intense heatwave before July is simply unheard of.”
Early summer heatwaves have been found to be more lethal, the World Health Organization said in a 2015 report, because people are less acclimatized to the heat and less prepared to deal with it than they would be in July or August.
The French health ministry has advised parents to keep children indoors during the hottest parts of the day, warning of the risk of dehydration and heatstroke. The ministry also called on citizens to check on the elderly and homeless people, making sure they have access to air-conditioned spaces.
As global temperatures rise as a result of climate change, scientists say extreme heatwaves like this one are becoming more likely.
“Globally, these extreme temperatures are five times more likely to occur now as they would be in an unchanged climate [in pre-industrial times],” says Dim Coumou, a scientist at Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
“There’s never a single cause for an extreme weather event. But we have very strong evidence from many types of studies — based on both observations and climate models — that these heat waves are strongly on the rise as a result of climate change.”
In Europe, the five warmest summers since 1,500 have all taken place in the last twenty years — 2018, 2010, 2003, 2016 and 2002.
The hottest summers since 1500 AD in Europe were: 2018, 2010, 2003, 2016, 2002. Each summer gets one vertical line, the histogram (grey steps) shows how frequent summers were in each temperature interval. Updated from Barriopedro et al in Science: https://t.co/qDuGzTOSjNpic.twitter.com/HEFi91w5sg
Coumou says Europe is experiencing a faster increase in the number of heatwaves than the global average. “One reason for that is that we’ve seen that the jet stream – which normally brings cool, wed and windy weather systems from the Atlantic to [Europe] – has been weakening in the summer.”
Another possible factor, he adds, is that soil on the continent may be becoming drier, leaving less water to evaporate into the atmosphere and cool the continent down. The heat in turn further dries out the soil, creating feedback loops.
The frequency of extreme heatwaves in the future will depend a lot on our ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming, scientists say.
Global temperatures have risen by 34°F since the industrial era. The Paris Agreement, signed by world leaders in 2015, sets a goal of limiting future temperature increase to 2°C (35.6°F), while the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year called for that target to be reduced to 1.5°C to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change. Both targets would require rapid and drastic changes to industry and lifestyle around the world.
“Just from the increase we have seen a very strong increase [in the frequency of extreme heatwaves and other weather events],” Coumou says. “If we get to a world that is 2°C warmer —and that will require rapid cutting of emissions – heatwaves will further intensify. But not as much as they would in a three or four degrees world.
If emissions continue at their current rate, the U.N. says the earth is on track for a 3–5 degree increase by 2100.
“Right now what’s happening in Europe is still an extreme,” Coumou says. “But this new type of very hot heatwaves are part of the new climate we’re entering.”
Police in Barbados are searching for a New Jersey couple who went out to sea on a jet ski and never returned.
Oscar Suarez, 32 and Magdalena Devil, 25, were staying at the Discovery Bay Hotel about nine miles from the capital of Bridgetown, according to the Royal Barbados Police Force.
Police said that on Monday afternoon, the couple rented a jet ski from an operator at nearby Holetown Beach. According to the operator, the pair were both wearing life jackets when they boarded the jet ski. When the couple did not return after half an hour, the operator became worried and contacted other operators in the area to carry out a search, police said.
The Barbados Police Marine Unit and the Barbados Coast Guard performed a search of the area, but did not find the couple or the jet ski, police said.
Police also checked the couple’s room at the Discovery Bay Hotel and found that they had not returned. Police said Suarez and Devil arrived on the island on June 22 and had been scheduled to return home a week later.
Barbados police confirmed to TIME that they have contacted at least one family member and are working with the U.S. Embassy. Police added that they are still conducting aerial and sea search in an attempt to find the pair.
The Royal Barbados Police Force are asking anyone with information to contact the nearest police station or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477).
(TEHRAN, Iran) — Iran’s supreme leader said Wednesday that Iranians will not budge or change their stand following new U.S. sanctions targeting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates, the latest in a torrent of sharp verbal responses from Tehran in the wake of the measures.
President Donald Trump enacted the new sanctions against Khamenei and others on Monday and U.S. officials also said they plan sanctions against Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
The sanctions followed Iran’s downing last week of a U.S. surveillance drone, worth over $100 million, over the Strait of Hormuz, sharply escalating the crisis.
The top Iranian cleric’s website quoted Khamenei as calling the Trump administration “the most sinister” U.S. government, adding that Washington’s calls for negotiation with Iran are deceitful and amount to “obvious cruelty.”
“The most hated figures of such an administration accuse and insult the Iranian nation,” Khamenei said. “The Iranian nation will not budge and will not withdraw because of the insults.”
The crisis gripping the Middle East stems from Trump’s withdrawal of the United States a year ago from the nuclear deal between Iran and other world powers and then imposing crippling new sanctions on Tehran.
Recently, Iran quadrupled its production of low-enriched uranium to be on pace to break one of the deal’s terms by Thursday, while also threatening to raise enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels on July 7 if European countries still abiding by the accord don’t offer a new deal.
Iran warned on Tuesday that the new U.S. sanctions targeting Khamenei and other officials meant “closing the doors of diplomacy” between Tehran and Washington. President Hassan Rouhani derided the White House as being “afflicted by mental retardation.”
Trump called that a “very ignorant and insulting statement,” tweeting that an Iranian attack on any U.S. interest will be met with “great and overwhelming force … overwhelming will mean obliteration.” His secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, said the Iranian statement was “immature.”
After the downing of the U.S. drone last week, Trump pulled back from the brink of retaliatory military strikes but continued his pressure campaign against Iran.
The drone shootdown was only the latest in a series of attacks in the region in recent months. The U.S. has blamed Iran for the suspected attacks on two oil tankers, alleging that used limpet mines to target the tankers, pointing to black-and-white footage it captured that American officials describe as Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops removing an unexploded mine from a Japanese-operated tanker.
Similarly, four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates were apparently targeted in acts of sabotage, which U.S. officials have also blamed on Iran. Tehran denied the charges. And in mid-May, Iranian-allied Yemeni rebels claimed they were behind a drone attack on a Saudi oil pipeline.
Late Tuesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi told reporters that American officials contacted the Iraqis recently, alleging the drones used in that Saudi pipeline attack, which took place on May 14, may have taken off from Iraq.
Iraqi military and intelligence have not confirmed such claims, Abdul-Mahdi said, without elaborating. There was also no immediate comment from Washington.
According to an Iraqi intelligence official, the Americans allege the drones took off from the area of Jurf al-Sakhar in Iraq’s southern Babel province that’s home to Iran-backed militias.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, said there have been nine attacks on U.S. interests in Iraq over the past weeks — including rocket and mortar attacks on Iraqi bases where American trainers are based, and another that struck near the American Embassy in the Iraqi capital.
Last month, the U.S. ordered the evacuation of nonessential diplomatic staff from Iraq amid unspecified threats from Iran.
Iraq is trying to walk a fine line — it has good relations with both the U.S. and Iran, hosts more than 5,000 U.S. troops, and is also home to powerful Iranian-backed militias.
“We are trying to distance Iraq from any danger, this is a main concern for us,” Abdul-Mahdi said. “We should distance Iraq from the dangers of a conflict.”
(DAKAR, Senegal) — A Gambian beauty pageant winner has accused the country’s former dictator Yahya Jammeh of raping her four years ago, the latest allegation of human rights abuses committed by the ex-president now living in exile in Equatorial Guinea. Fatou “Toufah” Jallow, now 23, made an announcement to journalists Tuesday and said she plans to testify later this year before Gambia’s truth and reconciliation commission, which is investigating abuses committed under the Jammeh regime.
The dictator of 22 years is accused of ordering opponents tortured, jailed and killed. The sexual abuse allegations raised by Jallow and others directly implicate him in personally committing violence against Gambians.
Jallow and other young women interviewed by Human Rights Watch say the president was a sexual predator who coerced young women into sexual relationships by promising scholarships and even putting some on the state payroll.
Jammeh is reportedly living a lavish but reclusive life in exile in Equatorial Guinea, where he is protected from extradition by the dictator in charge of the oil-rich country.
Jallow, who wanted to come forward publicly, said the president began lavishing gifts on her and her family after meeting her when she was crowned queen of the Miss July 22 Pageant as an 18-year-old back in 2014. Jammeh took a special interest in her, she said, ordering the utility company to install running water at her mother’s home, and having his cousin purchase the family expensive furniture.
While initially he expressed interest in funding her charity project, she said that Jammeh, a married man that she considered a mentor, asked for her hand in marriage. After she declined, he told her that as the pageant winner she had to attend an event at his official residence, State House, ahead of the holy month of Ramadan.
Once there, she said she was locked in a room and drugged by the president himself. “He told me, ‘No woman has ever rejected me. And who do you think you are?'” she said. “His face changed, his eyes were so red, different from the man before. He said, ‘No woman rejects me. You think you can get away with it?'”
As she tried to leave, Jallow said the president told her: “If you make any move, I will kill you with my own hands.”
The president shoved his genitals in her face and raped her before she blacked out, she said. Several days later she told her family she was going to the market to shop, and then fled to neighboring Senegal.
Jammeh later lost the 2016 election to now President Adama Barrow. After initially refusing to accept his defeat, Jammeh succumbed to international pressure, stepped down from office and fled to Equatorial Guinea. Gambia’s new administration has estimated that Jammeh and his associates fled with up to $1 billion in funds from the state coffers.
The truth and reconciliation commission does not have the powers to prosecute but will make recommendations for the Attorney General Chambers to act on a number of cases that may be taken up with the court. Jammeh for now remains untouchable in exile.
“It’s going to take a lot of heavy political lifting to pry him out of Equatorial Guinea,” said Reed Brody, counsel at Human Rights Watch who led the investigation into the allegations of sexual abuse.
Jallow, who later received asylum in Canada, says she is undergoing therapy and hopes other young women victimized by Jammeh will come forward. “Nobody discusses rape and yes, I am scared,” she said. “I am scared. But I want the next person after me to be a little less scared than me.”
The latest royal accounts have revealed that taxpayers in the UK paid £2.4 million towards the renovation of Frogmore House, which has become the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The 18th century house near Windsor castle was a gift from the Queen but it required extensive renovation to make it habitable for Prince Harry and Meghan, along with their newborn son Archie.
The accounts also showed the cost of air and rail travel for members of the royal family with the most expensive trips documented in the following infographic. The biggest bill came from Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall’s 11-day trip to the Caribbean islands and Cuba. They flew there on an RAF VIP Voyager aircraft and the bill came to £416,576. Taxpayers paid £216,312 for Charles and Camilla to visit Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria, as well as another £159,820 for their trip to France and Greece.

At recent, non-Arvind Subramanian-estimated rates of GDP growth, India's economy will double in 10-12 years.Prime Minister Narendra Modi's target of a $5 trillion economy by 2024 — he called it challenging but achievable — means the $2.8 trillion economy will have to nearly double in five years. That means from a current GDP growth trend of 6-7%, the economy will have to grow at an annual average of 10-11% over 2019-24 (all growth figures are in real, not nominal, terms).Commentators have either dismissed this as unrealistic, or listed a large number of difficult policies necessary for sustained double-digit GDP growth. The latter, given the Indian State's many shortcomings, essentially arrives at the same conclusion as the former, although more politely.Neither set of analyses is wrong. But a more useful way of looking at the PM's 'challenging target' would be to frame it like this:1. Acknowledge all current negatives, from a slowing economy in the short term to historically established policy incapacity, from fiscal constraints to constraints imposed by a federal polity that hosts angry politics, from low human capital indices to regulatory failings in high finance.2. Ask, given all this, what can the government do quickly to change the economic status quo.3. The status quo is defined by a set of somewhat-same broad policies, in place since the mid-1990s, that will continue to produce GDP growth of around 7%.4. Since all, or even most, current negatives can't be turned around any time soon, GoI will have to find a workaround in the short term.5. If this can be found, it could create the enabling context for double-digit GDP growth, a must for Modi's 'challenging target'.The good news is that there's a workaround: 1. Identify key areas, each of which will have a well-understood big, defining problem.2. Start, and quickly implement, a few signature projects in each area that squarely address the big, defining problem. 3. The reasonable assumption will be that these projects will act as motivators and drivers for broader change in each area.Plant a PlantInstead of attempting to solve many complex problems, create a few standout solutions. If outcomes are remarkable, incentives for replication will be high for State actors. Let's explain this with examples.'Make in India' didn't quite work when the Modi 1.0 administration sought to incentivise a countrywide manufacturing resurrection, that too having given up earlier on land acquisition reform. The Modi 2.0 government should reorient.The big, defining problem is lack of land for industry. This will act as a constraint even after the current excess industrial capacity is exhausted. So, the work-around should concentrate on this.Identify the easiest way to make a few very large parcels of land available for manufacturing hubs, for example, by using land assets of big public sector companies. Then, in those few designated hubs, put all administrative energy to incentivise manufacturing.Target companies, Indian or foreign, with product lines that have assured large domestic demand base or cast-iron export demand.These manufacturing centres will only be a few in a continent-sized country. But if they take off, they should act as exemplars for State and private sector actors. Then, there may finally be a buy-in for larger reforms across the polity.Take agriculture, the albatross around the economy's neck. Even if terms of trade facing farmers improve and all monsoons till 2024 are good, the big, defining problem of inefficient farming on small plots will always make Indian agriculture a sad, third world story. A democracy where elections are won or lost in villages can't — and mustn't — mandate large farming by China-like fiats.What is doable, though, is to set up very few but very, very large farm enterprises and demonstrate through them what efficient farming can do for the economy. Land for those few giant farming enterprises could be taken on short-term lease at super attractive rates and farmer/landowners can be offered employment. To do this nationally in a federal structure, especially given emotive and political issues around smallholding ownership, is impossible. To do this in a very limited scale is entirely possible.Once the gigantically positive outcome from large, efficient farming is visible, it's entirely plausible that even in a country where the poor kisan is romanticised to his own detriment, the political-administrative class may find reasons to finally, truly reform agriculture.Take banking. Or, rather, take the question of who will finance sustained high growth. Banking, as it currently is, can't do the job. That will be true even after the non-banking financial companies (NBFC) crisis works itself out, and even if the bankruptcy resolution process and/or a one-time balance sheet clean-up take(s) care of the bad loans problem. The big, defining problem here is that India has too few banks — especially too few small, nimble banks — that will lend to small enterprises that comprise the bulk of entrepreneurship.Bank on BankThe work-around? Work with RBI and quickly issue a few banking licences for small private banks specifically mandated to lend to small industry.The unmet demand for credit finance from small entrepreneurs is huge.These new private banks will have no shortage of borrowers. And once the positive impact of such lending becomes clear, the appalling conservatism that has held back the expansion of the banking system may finally crack.These are just three of what can be done around a dozen work-arounds aiming to break the policy status quo.GDP growth won't hit double digits even after all work-arounds produce their desired outcomes. But a crystal clear message will be delivered.If GoI can do that, it will put India on the road Modi — rightly — wants it to be.
Debt-laden Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) on Wednesday said it has received the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) approval to exit its mutual fund business by selling its 50 per cent stake to Prudential Financial.The company had entered an agreement with Prudential Financial to divest its 50 per cent holding in DHFL Pramerica Asset Managers (DPAMPL) -- 17.12 per cent held directly and 32.88 per cent held by its wholly-owned subsidiary, DHFL Advisory & Investments. "We wish to inform you that Sebi vide its letters June 25, 2019 addressed to DPAMPL has granted its prior approval for proposed change in controlling interest of DPAMPL and for amendment in trust deed under the applicable provisions of Sebi (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 subject to certain conditions," DHFL said in an exchange filing.On Tuesday, DHFL could barely meet 40 per cent of a Rs 375 crore repayment commitment towards commercial papers, highlighting the cash flow stress at the embattled mortgage lender, which has been selling assets to repay debt. "Out of the aggregate amount of Rs 375 crore, 40% has been paid on a proportionate basis, and the balance amount of Rs 225 crore shall be paid in the next couple of days," DHFL said in a statement late Tuesday.
By HARDEEP S PURIIn 1933, at the height of the great depression, noted British economist John Maynard Keynes wrote an open letter to the President of the United States, Franklin D Roosevelt, encouraging him to enact what came to be known as the New Deal, where investment in infrastructure became the silver bullet to pull the world out of the great depression.The Indian Economic Survey 2017-18 estimated that the country will require $4.5 trillion infrastructure investment by 2040. Much of this infrastructure investment will need to be focused on urban India, as by 2030, 40% of the country's population, or 600 million people, will reside in cities. Even more importantly, India requires 700 to 900 million square meters of residential and commercial space (equivalent to Chicago) to be built every year from now till 2030 to accommodate this 600 million i.e. 70% of India of 2030 will be built in the next decade.Taking cognisance of the growing need and importance of urban development, PM Narendra Modi embarked on the world's most ambitious planned urbanisation programme. In June 2015, he launched three flagship missions, namely, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Smart Cities Mission, and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).PMAY (U) is predicated on the vision of providing each Indian a home he/she can call his/her own. To meet this objective, we need to build 1crore dwelling units in urban spaces as had been assessed by the states and UTs. 81 lakh homes have already been sanctioned, 48 lakh grounded for construction, and 26 lakh homes have been completed and handed over.I am confident that by the end of 2021, all the beneficiaries will receive their homes, a full one year before the target date. A crucial aspect of the Mission is that the title of the home will be in the name of the lady of the house or co-jointly, providing a major fillip to women's empowerment.The scheme through its four verticals— In Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR); Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP); Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) and Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC)—offers a bouquet of options to the beneficiaries and states/UTs . The Mission looks at the daunting issue of slums; it focuses on affordable housing; it provides for a very attractive interest subsidy for those wanting to avail a housing loan; and it provides assistance to those who already own land but find it difficult to raise the necessary resources to construct ahouse.The objective of the Smart Cities Mission is to build the next generation of Indian cities, where infrastructure is easy accessible and affordable, and where citizen-government engagement is efficient and effective.It aims to achieve this by adopting the latest in technological advancement — whether it is RFID tags that make garbage collection easier or integrated traffic management systems that ease road congestion—technology offers 'smart' solutions to many of our infrastructure challenges. Simply put, technology allows urban governance systems to do more with less, thereby easing the resource-deficit burden.The total investment in the Smart Cities Mission is envisaged to be over Rs 2,05,000 crore through 5,151 projects. 896 projects worth approximately Rs 15,000 crore have been completed and another 1,895 projects worth Rs 75,000 crore are under implementation. The mission works closely with private players, including international firms, to leverage their capital, expertise, human resource, and technology. So far, under public-private participation model, 65 projects worth over Rs 2,000 crore in 26 cities have been completed. 116 projects worth over Rs 10,000 crore in 45 cities are being implemented; and 91 projects worth over Rs 9,600 crore in 36 cities are in advanced stages of tendering. Moreover, 10 leading international companies are participating in at least 40 of the 100 selected Smart Cities.AMRUT complements the efforts of both PMAY and the Smart Cities Mission. It seeks to provide water supply, sewerage, urban transport, and safe public spaces to residents of urban centers in 500 cities with populations over 1,00,000. The total mission outlay is expected to be Rs 1,00,000 crore. Projects worth Rs 4,263 have already been completed and contracts worth another Rs 61,093 crore have been awarded.AMRUT is predicated on the PM Modi's motto of 'cooperative federalism', i.e., state governments take the lead in all three aspects of infrastructure development: (a) designing schemes based on the needs of their respective cities; (b) creating State Annual Action Plans (SAAP) for execution of programmes; and (c) monitoring the progress once funds are released.The SAAP are submitted to the central government only for broad concurrence and the center provides funding for these schemes as per guidelines. This is a marked departure from past practices where the central government in New Delhi retained all control, using their power for political purposes.India's planned urbanisation programme can be termed the 21st century's New Deal. It is for the first time that a democratically elected government, in a federal framework, in partnership with the private sector, is quite literally 'building' a nation from bottoms-up. Add to this the imperative of building green and resilient infrastructure; what we get is a development model that is a first of its kind. Put another way, what India is doing today in its urban spaces, the rest of the world will do tomorrow.(The writer is Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs (IC))
The Tata Group has shortlisted a few candidates to become the new chief executive of its beverages company Tata Global Beverages (TGBL) to help build a scalable FMCG business in India, people familiar with the development said.Senior Unilever executives Sanjiv Kakkar, JV Raman and Hemant Bakshi and the CEO of a leading Indian foods company are among those being shortlisted for the job. Current CEO Ajoy Misra will handhold the new hire until his one-year term ends in March 2020, they said.TGBL declined to comment on the CEO hiring. "We will make the necessary announcements at the appropriate time," a spokesperson said.Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran had acknowledged at TGBL's AGM recently that the company's financial metrics were inadequate, and that tea and water businesses cannot provide the required scale to grow the maker of Tata Tea, Tetley, Eight O'Clock coffee and Himalayan mineral water brands.The Kolkata-based company has transformed from a plantations company to a branded beverages company and will soon change into a foods company due to the proposed transfer of the consumer products business of Tata Chemicals. TGBL will be renamed Tata Consumer Products after completion of the transfer of the salt, spices and pulses businesses."The company wants to ensure the CEO has the right experience to build global brands," said an official close to the development.Former Unilever director Harish Manwani is an independent member on the board of Tata Sons.TGBL reported consolidated revenues of Rs 7,251 crore for FY19 with a net profit of Rs 408 crore. The company's topline and bottomline have largely remained flat in recent years. Raw material burden on revenues has been rising steadily. Its international business has been a drag on its performance. The coffee business in the US is sluggish and the black tea market in the UK has been declining. The company has been exiting non-performing international operations in Russia, Sri Lanka and China.For a FMCG company, TGBL has very low return on capital employed and return on net worth at 9.3% at 6.6%, respectively, for fiscal 2019. Typically, foods businesses need a 10-15 year plan to scale it up and build a presence in the country.Top officials close to the development said internally there is no business clarity yet among TGBL executives about the plan to grow the pulses portfolio acquired from Tata Chemicals. The FMCG business would require a massive overhaul to stay relevant and competitive, they said. 69966961 "The back-end of TGBL, such as supply chain, product development and warehousing, is lagging behind compared to competitors," one of the sources said. Also, the company would need to scale up its core tea, coffee and water businesses to support the acquisition of the pulses business from Tata Chemicals, the sources said.A TGBL spokesperson said the company would absorb Tata Chemicals' consumer products division and its food science technology team at the innovation centre, which will continue to work on the food business. "The combined business reach (Including food business) will be 200 million households," he said. "We have a strong sales and distribution network in place and clear plans to strengthen and scale it up further. A digitally enabled sales, distribution and supply chain transformation initiative is well underway to further enhance reach and improve channel efficiency."TGBL has a complex structure with 39 subsidiaries. The management has been restructuring its operations, and consolidation of arms is one of the agendas, company insiders said. However, the merger of Tata Coffee, a listed subsidiary, with TGBL has been ruled out for now, they said.
By Dan Murtaugh and Livia YapA further deterioration in relations between the US and China could set off a chain of events that would push oil down more than 50 per cent to as low $30 a barrel, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.President Donald Trump may decide to raise tariffs on the remaining $300 billion of Chinese imports if he doesn't like what he hears from Chinese President Xi Jinping at this weekend's G-20 summit in Osaka, Francisco Blanch, the bank's global head of commodities, said in an interview in Singapore.That may cause Chinese authorities to let the yuan weaken, making oil that's priced in dollars more expensive in the world's largest importer and stunting demand growth, he said. Beijing might also decide to ignore Washington's sanctions against Iran and resume crude imports from the Persian Gulf country, Blanch said."The trade issue and the Iran issue become the same issue, and that ends up creating a $30-a-barrel scenario for oil prices," he said. "You get an extra 2 million barrels from Iran and demand collapses, where do you think prices are going to go?"Blanch said the scenario wasn't particularly likely, but wasn't crazy either. BofAML's base-case scenario is for Brent and West Texas Intermediate to average $63 and $56 a barrel, respectively, in the second half of the year.69958798 Brent crude fell 20 per cent from a high in late April to a low on June 12, largely as a result of the worsening trade war. It has rebounded about 10 per cent since then as tensions in the Persian Gulf rose to boiling point, and is currently trading just below $66 a barrel.To offset the impact of the US putting tariffs on the remainder of Chinese imports, Beijing would have to let the yuan weaken to 7.3 per US dollar, Citigroup Inc. analysts including Sun Lu wrote in a note last month. That's around 6 per cent weaker than current levels.
As head of research at $382-billion Swiss wealth manager, Julius Baer, Christian Gattiker-Ericsson has a good view of the world economy and how money moves across the globe. In an interview with Joel Rebello, he spoke about falling global yields, flow of money and the Swiss bank's preferred investments. Edited excerpts:Global yields are on the way down. What is causing this?There are two factors for yields falling across the globe. The monetary policy in the US and the trade tensions which made investors more risk averse and less growth friendly. Possibly the two are intertwined because we might see a reaction due to the fact there is uncertainty about trade. Therefore, there has been a recalibration about rate expectations. Twelve months ago, the US economy was super strong, wages were going up. The low-income bracket was making double-digit increase in wages, so inflation was pumping up. Then suddenly these trade tensions rose and then we got an escalation. Perception shifted — we almost saw a 100 basis points in US treasuries which is quite a massive move.What's your view on the Indian market?In the global context, we are neutral on Indian equities. There is a sound structural background and it's a thriving economy but in the global context the market is very expensive. If you follow the money and look at the currency markets, the money was moving back into the US market in the last three to four years. The US is a structurally deficit economy which they need to be in order to hold the global reserve currency. If you see such a currency going up against all odds, then you see that the capital is actually moving back into the dollar territory and that's where the money went.Then there was this on-off relationship with Chinese stocks with the hot money going back and forth. The way we have been handling this is whenever there was a sizeable risk premium on emerging market bonds, we would go back and buy them. At this stage of the cycle, your strategy is to go into fixed income instead of equity because when rates rise, emerging markets are forced to deleverage which means you get a better risk as a bond investor because financial risk is lowered but it cuts the upside for the equity investors. We think the next decade will belong to the Chinese market because it is still sizeable.So money will move towards emerging markets then?There is potential, particularly on the fixed income side. There are even possibilities on the currency. We have been conservative and going into hot currency emerging market bonds but there is also very generous risk premium in some of the local currency fixed income. But this is so much like the late '90s — you never know when the cycle will end because nobody rings the bell at the end of the cycle.At the beginning of the year, lots of investors were reading the prospects of a first rate cut which is priced by December 2018. We are not so sure. We think it will be a longer protracted thing. So, there are hardly any 'buy and hold assets' in emerging markets for now. It will change in the next cycle. I expect in the 2020s there will be a major easing cycle of the US monetary policy. This will start when recession will hit the US and our guess is it is 2021. So it will take another 12 to 18 months for the markets to price in an easing cycle and then we could see a major emerging markets boom similar to what we saw in 2002 and 2003.Which assets is money moving towards?We have had two major risk-off waves — first in the fourth quarter and now in May, so we think risk appetite will recover and lots of those juicy risk buckets will be revisited and all these high-yielding bonds will make sense in the global context. With the 10-year treasury at 2.10%, people will have a hard time to go to 30-year treasury against this backdrop because they have had a major run.Gold is at a very interesting crossroads. We have been promoting gold for the whole year. It seems that there might be further inflation risks at some stage and gold will benefit. Investors will hold gold against the uncertainties of the cycle. Equity investors should also be fully invested at this stage because equities have some catching up to do.
New Delhi: Mindtree Chief Executive Officer Rostow Ravanan is likely to resign in the coming weeks with infrastructure major L&T becoming a majority shareholder in the mid-sized IT company, according to sources. Larsen and Toubro (L&T) had initiated a hostile takeover of Mindtree Ltd in March and has since then expanded its shareholding to a majority stake with large investors, like Nalanda, selling their shares in the ongoing open offer. Mindtree founders had resisted the bid and had tried rallying support from Singapore-based Nalanda Capital and others. One of the sources said Mindtree founders had supported Ravanan's continuation to ensure business continuity but given the developments over the past few weeks, Ravanan will expected to step down from his role in the coming weeks. E-mails sent to Mindtree did not elicit any response. Another source said the founders, which include Subroto Bagchi, N S Parthasarathy and Krishnakumar Natarajan (who together hold about 13 per cent), may look at selling their shares as well in the open offer that concludes on June 28. Interestingly, L&T has recently secured three board positions at Mindtree that has eight members on the board (of which four were independent directors). Mindtree co-founder Subroto Bagchi did not offer being considered for re-appointment to the board. The IT firm remained silent on how it plans to accommodate the three new L&T representatives. In March, L&T had said it will buy 20.32 per cent stake in Mindtree from VG Siddhartha and his coffee enterprise for over Rs 3,000 crore, marking India's first-ever hostile takeover bid in the IT space. Since then, L&T has steadily increased its holding in the Bengaluru-based tech firm to about 30 per cent. L&T is currently in the process of an open offer to buy an additional 31 per cent stake. The open offer, with an offer price of Rs 980 per share, opened on June 17 and is slated to close on June 28. If the offer of 5.13 crore shares is subscribed fully, the engineering behemoth will end up with a 66.32 per cent holding in Mindtree. As of June 26, L&T's open offer had received bids for 4.83 crore shares or 94.16 per cent of the offer.
