IRAN launched a devastating attack on US airbases in Iraq today which has caused a tremor across the globe as the possibility of world war 3 becomes more likely.
US OFFICIALS have released a statement that more than a dozen ballistic missiles were fired at US troops at two Iraq bases. But how many US troops have been killed?
IRAN has launched multiple devastating missile attacks on various locations in Iraq where US military personnel are based in revenge for Donald Trump's assassination of General Qasem Soleimani last week. Follow below for live updates.
Iranian forces launched a barrage of more than a dozen ballistic missiles Tuesday against two Iraqi military bases that house American and coalition forces, U.S. officials said—a retaliatory attack for the American drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the most prominent military general in Iran.
But as early reports emerged of no American casualties and limited damage, U.S. officials quickly concluded the attacks were more of a face-saving measure for Tehran than an escalation of hostilities. “The Iranians have left President Trump with an obvious off-ramp,” to mounting hostilities, a senior U.S. official told TIME Tuesday night.
“Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense,” Foreign Minister Javad Zarif announced on Twitter. “We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.”
Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched.
We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.
As the Pentagon assessed the damage, U.S. officials who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, told TIME that no Americans were killed in the assault on Ain al-Asad air base in Anbar province and another military installation in Erbil, located in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region.
“All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now,” President Donald Trump said on Twitter. “So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.”

If both sides appear to have concluded, at least for the moment, that starting a full-blown war was a bad idea, the fallout from the Soleimani strike is still roiling the Pentagon, America’s allies and the region. American forces in the Middle East and around the world remain on high alert, and U.S. and allied intelligence officials warn that terrorist groups and individuals with no ties to the Iranian regime may act on their own.
James Clapper, a former Director of National Intelligence, said the Iranians had three audiences in carrying out the missile strike: their own public, the U.S. and the Iraqis. “Zarif’s statement was very temperate, and implies they have ‘concluded’ their retaliation,” he said. “We may well have dodged a bullet, if Trump can contain himself.”
The Trump Administration on Friday urged all American citizens to leave Iraq “immediately.” The counter-ISIS battle, which is largely run out of Iraq, has been halted indefinitely. And 3,500 additional soldiers have arrived in the region on snap deployment orders, joining the 15,000 American troops sent to the Middle East since the situation with Iran began to deteriorate last spring.
“On almost a daily basis, the military has had to react to the President’s decisions, rather than plan for them,” says Chuck Hagel, a former U.S. Defense Secretary and Republican Senator from Nebraska. “It could come in an off-the-cuff comment or Twitter or in an emotional outburst. It’s a dangerously dysfunctional way of doing business that opens the door to unintended consequences.”
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have been building since the Trump Administration walked away from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal and began levying crippling economic sanctions more than a year ago. It remains unclear what the lasting price of the latest confrontations with Iran will be for the U.S.
NATO allies Germany and Canada have begun to draw down forces from central Iraq out of concern of the volatility in the region.
At the same time, confusion has deepened over the future of American forces in the country, after Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi requested the U.S. military to clarify how a letter stating the U.S. was preparing to withdraw troops was mistakenly sent to his office.
The unsigned letter, which the Pentagon claims was sent in error, surfaced online just one day after Iraq’s parliament made a non-binding vote to expel all foreign forces from the country. Mahdi said during a televised cabinet meeting the letter looked official to him. “It’s not a piece of paper that fell off the printer or reached us by coincidence,” he said, adding that it was translated in Arabic and English.
The White House and Pentagon have yet to explain how a “draft” of the unsigned letter from Marine Brigadier General William Seely, who commands the U.S.-led military coalition against ISIS in Baghdad, was sent out. Defense Department officials were left scrambling in the halls of the Pentagon for more than 90 minutes as journalists sought an explanation on the letter after it was published Monday by the Reuters and AFP wire services.
Even Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley couldn’t answer whether the letter was authentic and, if it was, what it meant. “I don’t know what it is,” Esper said Monday during a hastily planned press briefing, referring to the letter. “We’re trying to find out where that’s coming from, what that is.” About five minutes after the briefing concluded, Milley made a phone call and returned to tell reporters: “That letter is a draft, it was a mistake, it was unsigned, it should never have been released.”
The pair emphasized that no American forces would be leaving Iraq, in fact just the opposite. About 3,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division packed up their weapons and equipment and said goodbye to their family members at Fort Bragg in North Carolina for a snap deployment to Kuwait to help deal with hostilities.
In the city of Fayetteville, where many of the soldiers’ families live, the community was settling into the uneasy routine of awaiting their safe return, says Mayor Mitch Colvin. Yellow ribbons went up around town and local churches put up messages calling for prayers on marquees. “Unfortunately, this is something that we, as a community, have grown accustomed to over the past 20 years,” he says. “It’s never easy. We all see what’s going on in the news. We just pray that this deployment is quick and that all our brave soldiers come home safe.”

(SHAHEDSHAHR, Iran) — Ukraine’s foreign minister says that Iranian, Canadian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Afghan, British and German nationals were killed in the Ukrainian plane crash just outside Tehran.
Foreign Minister Vadim Prystaiko said after Wednesday’s crash that there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians and 11 Ukrainians on board. The Ukrainian nationals included two passengers and nine crew members.
He says there were also 10 Swedish nationals, four Afghans, three Germans and three British nationals. Airline officials said most of the passengers were transiting through Kyiv to other destinations.
—
A Ukrainian passenger jet carrying 176 people crashed on Wednesday, just minutes after taking off from the Iranian capital’s main airport, turning farmland on the outskirts of Tehran into fields of flaming debris and killing all on board.
The crash of Ukraine International Airlines came hours after Iran launched a ballistic missile attack on Iraqi bases housing U.S. soldiers, but both Ukrainian and Iranian officials said they suspected a mechanical issue brought down the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy extended his condolences to the families of the victims. His office said he had cut his visit to Oman short and was returning to Kyiv because of the crash. The country’s Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk confirmed the casualty toll.
“Our task is to establish the cause of the crash of the Boeing and provide all necessary help to the families of the victims,” said parliament speaker, Dmytro Razumkov, in a Facebook statement.
Ukraine International Airlines said it had indefinitely suspended flights to Tehran after the crash.
“It was one of the best planes we had, with an amazing, reliable crew,” Yevhen Dykhne, president of the Ukraine International Airlines, said at a briefing following the crash.
The plane had been delayed from taking off from Imam Khomeini International Airport by almost an hour. It took off to the west, but never made it above 8,000 feet in the air, according to data from the flight-tracking website FlightRadar24.
It remains unclear what happened. Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran’s Road and Transportation Ministry, said it appeared a fire struck one of its engines. The pilot of the aircraft then lost control of the plane, sending it crashing into the ground, Biniaz said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
Hassan Razaeifar, the head of air crash investigation committee, said it appeared the pilot couldn’t communicate with air-traffic controllers in Tehran in the last moments of the flight. He did not elaborate.
Ukrainian authorities have offered to help with the investigation of the plane crash. “We’re preparing a group of specialists in order to help with the search operation and the investigation of the cause of the crash,” Honcharuk said.
The plane, fully loaded with fuel for its 2,300-kilometer (1,430-mile) flight, slammed into farmland near the town of Shahedshahr on the outskirts of Tehran. Videos taken immediately after the crash show blazes lighting up the darkened fields before dawn.
Resident Din Mohammad Qassemi said he had been watching the news about the Iranian ballistic missile attack on U.S. forces in Iraq in revenge for the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani when he heard the crash.
“I heard a massive explosion and all the houses started to shake. There was fire everywhere,” he told The Associated Press. “At first I thought (the Americans) have hit here with missiles and went in the basement as a shelter. After a while, I went out and saw a plane has crashed over there. Body parts were lying around everywhere.”
The plane carried 167 passengers and nine crew members from different nations on its flight to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, Biniaz said. The crash killed all on board, Iranian emergency officials and Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said.
The majority of the passengers were Iranian nationals, Russia’s RIA Novosti agency reported, citing Iranian authorities. Staff at the Boryspil airport in Kyiv, where the plane was headed, told the AP that passengers on this flight are usually Iranian students coming back to Ukraine after winter holidays
AP journalists who reached the crash site saw a wide field of field of debris scattered across farmland, the dead laying among shattered pieces of the aircraft. Their possessions, a child’s cartoon-covered electric toothbrush, a stuffed animal, luggage and electronics, stretched everywhere.
Rescuers in masks shouted over the noise of hovering helicopters as they worked. They quickly realized there would be no survivors.
“The only thing that the pilot managed to do was steer the plane towards a soccer field near here instead of a residential area back there,” witness Aref Geravand said. “It crashed near the field and in a water canal.”
The Boeing 737-800 is a very common single-aisle, twin-engine jetliner used for short to medium-range flights. Thousands of the planes are used by airlines around the world.
Introduced in the late 1990s, it is an older model than the Boeing 737 MAX, which has been grounded for nearly 10 months following two deadly crashes. Boeing built the aircraft that crashed Wednesday in 2016 and it last underwent routine maintenance on Monday, Ukraine International Airlines said.
A number of 737-800 aircraft have been involved in deadly accidents over the years.
In March 2016, a FlyDubai 737-800 from Dubai crashed while trying to land at Rostov-on-Don airport in Russia, killing 62 onboard. Another 737-800 flight from Dubai, operated by Air India Express, crashed in May 2010 while trying to land in Mangalore, India, killing more than 150 onboard.
Chicago-based Boeing Co. was “aware of the media reports out of Iran and we are gathering more information,” spokesman Michael Friedman told the AP.
Boeing, like other airline manufacturers, typically assists in crash investigations. However, that effort in this case could be affected by the U.S. sanctions campaign in place on Iran since President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in May 2018.
Both Airbus and Boeing had been in line to sell billions of dollars of aircraft to Iran over the deal, which saw Tehran limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But Trump’s decision halted the sales.
Under decades of international sanctions, Iran’s commercial passenger aircraft fleet has aged, with air accidents occurring regularly for domestic carriers in recent years, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

(NEW DELHI) — Some commercial airlines on Wednesday rerouted flights crossing the Middle East to avoid possible danger amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran.
Australian carrier Qantas said it was altering its London to Perth, Australia, routes to avoid Iran and Iraq airspace until further notice.
The longer route meant that Qantas would have to carry fewer passengers and more fuel to remain in the air for an extra 40 to 50 minutes.
Malaysia Airlines said that “due to recent events,” its planes would avoid Iranian airspace.
Singapore Airlines also said that its flights to Europe would be re-routed to avoid Iran.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it was barring American pilots and carriers from flying in areas of Iraqi, Iranian and some Persian Gulf airspace.
The agency warned of the “potential for miscalculation or mis-identification” for civilian aircraft amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Such restrictions are often precautionary in nature to prevent civilian aircraft from being confused for ones engaged in armed conflict. The FAA said the restrictions were being issued due to “heightened military activities and increased political tensions in the Middle East, which present an inadvertent risk to U.S. civil aviation operations.”
The emergency flight restrictions follow Iranian ballistic missile strikes Tuesday on two Iraqi bases that house U.S. troops. Those strikes were retaliation for the U.S. killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike near Baghdad last week.
(TEHRAN, Iran) — Iran struck back at the United States for the killing of a top Iranian general early Wednesday, firing a series of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops in a major escalation that brought the two longtime foes closer to war.
Iranian state TV said it was in revenge for the U.S. killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qasem Soleimani, whose death last week in an American drone strike near Baghdad prompted angry calls to avenge his slaying. A U.S. official said there were no immediate reports of American casualties, though buildings were still being searched.
‘All is well!’ President Donald Trump tweeted shortly after the missile attacks, adding, ‘So far, so good’ regarding casualties.
All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.
Soleimani’s killing and the strikes by Iran came as tensions have been rising steadily across the Mideast after President Donald Trump’s decision to unilaterally withdraw America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. They also marked the first time in recent years that Washington and Tehran have attacked each other directly rather than through proxies in the region. It raised the chances of open conflict erupting between the two enemies, which have been at odds since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
But in a tweet shortly after the missile launches, Iran’s foreign minister called a ballistic missile attack a “proportionate measures in self-defense” and said it was not seeking to escalate the situation but would defend itself against any aggression.
Iran initially announced only one strike, but U.S. officials confirmed both. U.S. defense officials were at the White House, likely to discuss options with Trump, who launched the strike on Soleimani while facing an upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate,
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned the U.S. and its regional allies against retaliating over the missile attack against the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq’s western Anbar province. The Guard issued the warning via a statement carried by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
“We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted,” The Guard said. It also threatened Israel.
After the strikes, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator posted a picture of the Islamic Republic’s flag on Twitter, appearing to mimic Trump who posted an American flag following the killing of Soleimani and others Friday in a drone strike in Baghdad.
Ain al-Asad air base was first used by American forces after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, and later saw American troops stationed there amid the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. It houses about 1,500 U.S. and coalition forces.
Two Iraqi security officials said at least one of the missiles appeared to have struck a plane at the base, igniting a fire. It was not immediately clear whether it was an Iraqi or U.S. jet. There were no immediate reports of casualties from the attacks, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they had no permission to brief journalists.
About 70 Norwegian troops also were on the air base but no injuries were reported, Brynjar Stordal, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Armed Forces told The Associated Press.
Trump visited the sprawling Ain al-Asad air base, about 100 miles or 60 kilometers west of Baghdad, in December 2018, making his first presidential visit to troops in the region. He did not meet with any Iraqi officials at the time, and his visit inflamed sensitivities about the continued presence of U.S. forces in Iraq. Vice President Mike Pence also has visited the base.
Iranian state TV said the Guard’s aerospace division that controls Iran’s missile program launched the attack, which it said was part of an operation dubbed “Martyr Soleimani.” Iran said it would release more information later.
The U.S. also acknowledged another missile attack on a base in Irbil in Iraq’s semiautonomous Kurdish region.
“As we evaluate the situation and our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect and defend U.S. personnel, partners and allies in the region,” said Jonathan Hoffman, an assistant to the U.S. defense secretary.
Wednesday’s revenge attack happened a mere few hours after crowds in Iran mourned Soleimani at his funeral. It also came the U.S. continued to reinforce its own positions in the region and warned of an unspecified threat to shipping from Iran in the region’s waterways, crucial routes for global energy supplies. U.S. embassies and consulates from Asia to Africa and Europe issued security alerts for Americans. The FAA also warned of a “potential for miscalculation or mis-identification” for civilian aircraft in the Persian Gulf amid in an emergency flight restriction.
A stampede broke out Tuesday at Soleimani’s funeral, and at least 56 people were killed and more than 200 were injured as thousands thronged the procession, Iranian news reports said. Shortly after Iran’s revenge missile launches early Wednesday, Soleimani’s shroud-wrapped remains were lowered into the ground as mourners wailed at the grave site.
Tuesday’s deadly stampede took place in Soleimani’s hometown of Kerman as his coffin was being borne through the city in southeastern Iran, said Pirhossein Koulivand, head of Iran’s emergency medical services.
There was no information about what set off the crush in the packed streets, and online videos showed only its aftermath: people lying apparently lifeless, their faces covered by clothing, emergency crews performing CPR on the fallen, and onlookers wailing and crying out to God.
“Unfortunately as a result of the stampede, some of our compatriots have been injured and some have been killed during the funeral processions,” Koulivand said, and state TV quoted him as saying that 56 had died and 213 had been injured.
Soleimani’s burial was delayed, with no new time given, because of concerns about the huge crowd at the cemetery, the semi-official ISNA news agency said.
Hossein Salami, Soleimani’s successor as leader of the Revolutionary Guard, addressed a crowd of supporters gathered at the coffin in a central square in Kernan. He vowed to avenge Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike Friday near Baghdad’s airport.
“We tell our enemies that we will retaliate but if they take another action we will set ablaze the places that they like and are passionate about,” Salami said.
“Death to Israel!” the crowd shouted in response, referring to one of Iran’s longtime regional foes.
Salami praised Soleimani’s work, describing him as essential to backing Palestinian groups, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. As a martyr, Soleimani represented an even greater threat to Iran’s enemies, Salami said.
Soleimani will ultimately be laid to rest between the graves of Enayatollah Talebizadeh and Mohammad Hossein Yousef Elahi, two former Guard comrades killed in Iran’s 1980s war with Iraq. They died in Operation Dawn 8, in which Soleimani also took part. It was a 1986 amphibious assault that cut Iraq off from the Persian Gulf and led to the end of the war that killed 1 million.
The funeral processions in major cities over three days have been an unprecedented honor for Soleimani, seen by Iranians as a national hero for his work leading the Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force.
The U.S. blames him for killing U.S. troops in Iraq and accused him of plotting new attacks just before he was killed. Soleimani also led forces supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war, and he also served as the point man for Iranian proxies in countries like Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Assad in Syria on Tuesday amid the tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Soleimani’s slaying already has led Tehran to abandon the remaining limits of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers as his successor and others vow to take revenge.
In Iraq, pro-Iranian factions in parliament have pushed to oust American troops from Iraqi soil following Soleimani’s killing. Germany and Canada announced plans to move some of their soldiers in Iraq to neighboring countries.
The FAA warning barred U.S. pilots and carriers from flying over areas of Iraqi, Iranian and some Persian Gulf airspace. The region is a major East-West travel hub and home to Emirates airline and Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel. It earlier issued warnings after Iran shot down a U.S. military surveillance drone last year that saw airlines plan new routes to avoid the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. Maritime Administration warned ships across the Mideast, citing the rising threats. “The Iranian response to this action, if any, is unknown, but there remains the possibility of Iranian action against U.S. maritime interests in the region,” it said.
Oil tankers were targeted in mine attacks last year that the U.S. blamed on Iran. Tehran denied responsibility, although it did seize oil tankers around the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the world’s crude oil travels.
The U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based 5th Fleet said it would work with shippers in the region to minimize any possible threat.
The 5th Fleet “has and will continue to provide advice to merchant shipping as appropriate regarding recommended security precautions in light of the heightened tensions and threats in the region,” 5th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Joshua Frey told The Associated Press.
Iran’s parliament, meanwhile, has passed an urgent bill declaring the U.S. military’s command at the Pentagon and those acting on its behalf in Soleimani’s killing as “terrorists,” subject to Iranian sanctions. The measure appears to be in response to a decision by Trump in April to declare the Revolutionary Guard a “terrorist organization.”
The U.S. Defense Department used that terror designation to support the strike that killed Soleimani.

Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Associated Press writers Matthew Lee, Lolita C. Baldor and Zeke Miller in Washington, Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad and Zeina Karam in Beirut contributed.
WASHINGTON — Iraq’s outgoing prime minister said Tuesday that the United States has no alternative and must pull its troops out of the country, or else face an impending crisis. But President Donald Trump countered that it’s not the right time for a pullout and that it would be the worst thing that could happen to Iraq.
Trump said a U.S. pullout would allow Iran to gain a stronger foothold in Iraq.
“The people of Iraq do not want to see Iran running the country, that I can tell you,” Trump said from the White House.
Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who resigned in November amid mass anti-government protests, said Iraq wants a U.S. troop withdrawal to avoid further escalation as tensions soar between American and Iran.
His comments came just days after a U.S. airstrike killed Iran’s top general at Baghdad’s international airport. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, senior Iraqi commander of an Iran-backed militia, was also killed in Friday’s strike. His remains were brought back to Iraq from Iran to be buried in the holy southern city of Najaf.
“We have no exit but this, otherwise we are speeding toward confrontation,” Abdul-Mahdi said in a prerecorded televised speech following a weekly Cabinet meeting.
He said the “historic decision” was necessary, “otherwise we will not be taken seriously.”
U.S. troops are present in Iraq based on a request by the government in 2014, when vast swathes of the country were being overrun by the Islamic State group. But now that IS has been largely defeated, Abdul-Mahdi said, the mission has devolved into a U.S.-Iran proxy war.
Trump said he wants U.S. troops out of Iraq — eventually.
“At some point we want to get out, but this isn’t the right point,” Trump said.
Trump also reiterated that he still expects the United States to be reimbursed for some of its expenses, though he didn’t specify a price tag.
“We’ve spent a tremendous amount of money on building airports and building one of the largest embassies we have in the world. And we want to be reimbursed to the various costs that we have had. They’re very significant,” Trump said.
Iraq was barely starting to recover from the devastating four-year war against IS when mass protests erupted in October against the ruling elite, forcing Abdul-Mahdi to resign two months later. He hasn’t been replaced.
Referring to the fight against Islamic State extremists, he said: “Iraq did its part to fight in the war, and I see that any harm to Iraq will be harmful to all regional states and the whole world.”
Iraq’s parliament passed a non-binding resolution to request that the government expel foreign troops from the country on Sunday, in the wake of the U.S. airstrike. The vote was pushed by pro-Iran political factions but appeared to have the support of Shiite lawmakers from rival camps.
The session was boycotted by Kurdish and many Sunni lawmakers who opposed the decision or took issue with elements of the resolution.
Though the death of Soleimani is stoking broader regional tensions and fears of more violence, in Iraq, the killing of al-Muhandis drove a wedge between Iraq and the U.S. Officials in Baghdad consider the strike to be a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, as al-Muhandis, who was also the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, was assassinated on Iraqi soil without their approval or knowledge.
The PMF is an umbrella group of mostly Shiite militias and a component of Iraq’s armed forces.
“Politically in Parliament, there is cross-bloc support (to oust U.S. troops),” said Sajad Jiyad, managing director of Bayan Center, an Iraqi think tank. “Even people nominally pro-U.S., anti-Iran or neutral are not happy with what the U.S. has done, and believe it’s a dangerous escalation.”
“The common denominator is this was an infringement on sovereignty,” he said.
Al-Muhandis’ remains had been taken to Iran for DNA testing. They were sent back through the Shalamsheh border crossing to his hometown of Basra in southern Iraq before being transferred to Najaf for burial late Tuesday.
Thousands of mourners in Basra’s city center gathered to receive the body. Many waved banners of the Kataeb Hezbollah, or Hezbollah Brigades, which al-Muhandis founded. The U.S. has blamed the group, which is separate from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, for a rocket attack in northern Iraq in late December that killed a U.S. contractor. That prompted the airstrike last week.
Amid threats of vengeance from Iran, the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq had said it was putting the battle against IS militants on hold to focus on protecting its own troops and bases.
A letter leaked to social media from the commander of the U.S. task force to Iraqi military authorities has also caused confusion among officials over the U.S. intentions to withdraw militarily.
A letter from Brig. Gen. William H. Seely III to his Iraqi counterpart dated Monday had said the U.S.-led coalition would be “repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper later clarified to reporters that there was no plans for American troops to leave Iraq. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the letter had been “an honest mistake.”

Abdul-Zahra reported from Baghdad and Kullab reported from Beirut.
The hot, dry conditions that primed southeastern Australia’s forest and fields for the bushfires that have been ravaging the country since September are likely to continue, scientists warn — and climate change has likely made the situation much worse.
Over the past few months, the bushfires have already scorched millions of acres, killed two dozen people, and slaughtered an estimated half a billion animals in the country, where it is currently summer. But scientists say that the risk of additional fires remains high. Southeastern Australia has been “abnormally dry” since September, which means that it would need significant rainfall repeatedly over a period of weeks to become damp enough to cut down the risk of fires, says Dan Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.
Unfortunately, such prolonged rain does not appear to be imminent in the next few weeks. Although the region experienced some rain early this week, Pydynowski warns that it has “not been impressive” and is not enough to substantially reduce fire risk. Significant rain from Tropical Storm Blake is also not expected to reach the area most affected by the fires.
“Everything is so dry right now, it doesn’t take much for a fire to spark and blow up and spread,” Pydynowski says.
Adam Ferguson for TIMEA cemetery recently hit by bushfires near Mogo, New South Wales, on Jan. 5.
Climate scientists warn that the scale and devastation of the wildfires are clear examples of the way climate change can intensify natural disasters.
The Australian bushfires were exacerbated by two factors that have a “well-established” link to climate change: heat and dry conditions, says Stefan Rahmstorf, department head at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany and a lead author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report.
“Due to enhanced evaporation in warmer temperatures, the vegetation and the soils dry out more quickly,” says Rahmstorf. “So even if the rainfall didn’t change, just the warming in itself would already cause a drying of vegetation and therefore increased fire risk.”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has resisted calls for the country to reduce its carbon emissions, has been accused of deemphasizing the the link between the bushfires and climate change, saying during a November interview that there isn’t “credible scientific evidence” that curbing emissions would diminish the fires.
However, scientists stress that while many sources may ignite fires — including arson — climate change is a major reason why recent the blazes in Australia have been so destructive.
“There are now disingenuous efforts to downplay the clear role of climate change in worsening the intensity and severity of the Australian fires, or to blame ‘arson’ as a way to distract from the growing threat of climate change. These efforts should be called out for what they are: gross climate denial,” Peter Gleick, a climate scientist and co-founder of Pacific Institute in California.
Gleick says that the bushfires are a “very clear example of the links between climate change and extreme weather.” He points out that these fires are very similar to recent highly destructive fires in Brazil and California.
“It’s not a question of whether climate change has caused these fires. Fires start for natural reasons — or for human cause reasons. What we’re seeing is a worsening of the conditions that make the fires in Australia unprecedentedly bad,” says Gleick. “All of these factors — record heat, unprecedented drought, lack of rain — all contribute to drying out the fuel that makes these fires worse. What we have are fires that might have occurred anyway, but the extent, the severity, the intensity of these fires is far worse than it otherwise would have been without the fingerprints of climate change.”
Rahmstorf also says that climate scientists believe wildfire conditions are worsening because climate change affects the water cycle, which in turn “leads to less rainfall in already dry parts of the world, and more rainfall in the already wet parts of the world.” Australia is especially vulnerable to climate change because the continent is already hot and dry; a large swathe of the country is facing increased risk of drought, says Rahmstorf.
Gleick says that the bushfires can have a ripple effect both on the local landscape and on the global climate. Fires can cause “ember storms,” which can lead to additional fires when embers from smaller fires are picked up by the wind.
Fires also add carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas — into the atmosphere, which can in turn amplify climate change, Gleick says. “Climate change is making these disasters worse, and these disasters are making climate change worse,” says Gleick. “We’ve only seen a tiny fraction of the climate change that we’re going to see in the coming years and the coming decades. If we’re seeing these disasters with a 1 degree warming of the planet so far, and we know that we’re headed for a 1.5 or 2 or 3 degree warming, we can only imagine how bad these disasters are going to get.”
President Donald Trump said it isn’t the right time for the U.S. to pull out of Iraq after the country’s parliament called for foreign troops to depart and confusion erupted over a draft U.S. letter suggesting preparations for a withdrawal.
“Eventually we want to be able to allow Iraq to run its own affairs,” Trump said Tuesday during an Oval Office meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “This isn’t the right point.”
Trump said a U.S. departure would be a mistake because it would give Iran a foothold in the country.
Questions about whether the U.S. would exit Iraq swirled on Monday after a letter surfaced that purportedly told military officials in Baghdad that American forces were repositioning in advance of a departure. Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Monday that the letter was a draft and should never have been sent. Trump said he didn’t know anything about the letter.
Separately on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he hasn’t received any request from the Iraqi government to withdraw U.S. forces. And he said at the time of last week’s strike, Soleimani was just days away from attacking U.S. forces in Iraq.
Nursing a bandaged right hand and bruises on his back from where he was struck with a rod, Santosh Singh says he no longer feels safe at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, where he is a masters student.
Singh comes from Bihar, India’s poorest state, and is the first member of his extended family to attend any university — let alone JNU, as the country’s most prestigious higher education institution is known. He was so happy when he arrived for the first time that he kissed the campus gate. “I worked hard to enter this university,” he says. “It meant so much to me.”
But on Sunday evening, as he was walking toward his student accommodation, masked men stormed the campus. Armed with iron rods, sticks, baseball bats and stones, they attacked students and teachers, smashed windows and vandalized student dormitories. “I thought, this is the end,” Singh told TIME on Monday. “They are going to kill us.”
As he spoke, a crowd of his fellow students marched behind him, chanting slogans against the police and government.
In all, more than 30 students and staff were injured in the violence, some severely. One video from the scene shows JNU’s student union president, Aishe Ghosh, bleeding from her head. “I have been brutally attacked,” she tells the camera. Other footage shows masked men rushing through university corridors armed with sticks. Police were present, some students said, but did nothing to stop the violence. “The police just watched both inside and outside the campus and did nothing,” says Mohammad Sharif, a masters student.
“Even a blind student like me was not spared,” said Surya Prakash, 25, a Sanskrit student who says he was beaten inside his room. His bed was still covered in shards of glass from a smashed window. “When I told them I was blind, they accused me of lying.”
Vipin Kumar—Hindustan Times via Getty ImagesSuryaprakash, a blind research scholar pursuing an MPhil in Sanskrit, is seen sitting in his room at Sabarmati Hostel, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), on Jan. 6, 2020 in New Delhi, India. He was also beaten up the day before during violence inside the campus.
Singh has no doubt about who the masked men were. “They were ABVP goons,” he says, referring to members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, a right-wing Hindu nationalist organization affiliated to the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Their slogans, their style of talking and the word they love the most — ‘traitors’ — was on their lips when they were beating us,” Singh tells TIME. Other witnesses said the mob was chanting “victory for mother India” and “shoot the traitors of the country.” “Even the ambulance which came for the injured was attacked,” student Syed Ali Mohammad tells TIME.
The ABVP denies involvement, saying instead that the attackers were masked left-wing students. But evidence suggests the attack was coordinated on ABVP WhatsApp groups, and experts say the attack fits a pattern of intimidation by Modi’s government and its Hindu nationalist allies against universities, which have always been bastions of progressive thought but now feel increasingly out of step with the country’s prevailing political climate of religious nationalism.
“The authorities have failed in their duty to ensure the safety of the students, signaling a shameful complicity of the state machinery,” said Avinash Kumar, executive director of Amnesty India, in a statement. “Moreover, the constant demonization of the students by the Government of India continues to increase their vulnerability to such attacks and awards impunity to the attackers. It is not an isolated incident and must be seen amidst the larger pattern of pushback as massive protests continue unabated across the country.”
In May 2019, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a massive mandate to govern India for another five years, with an increased majority in national elections. Amid a faltering economy, his reelection campaign tapped heavily into the Hindu nationalist politics held by his party’s base. Such politics tend to encompass the belief that India is a Hindu nation, a bitter rivalry with Pakistan, the scapegoating of Muslims (who make up 14% of India’s population), and a disdain for the secular intellectuals who ran India for much of the 20th century and who still hold important influence at universities like JNU.
Since winning reelection, Modi has rewarded the party base by delivering on several long-held Hindu nationalist goals: in August, his government revoked the constitutional autonomy of Jammu & Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority state and a territory claimed by India’s arch-rival Pakistan. Later that same month, a project to root out “infiltrators” in Assam, an Indian state bordering Muslim-majority Bangladesh, was completed, putting nearly 2 million people at risk of losing of their citizenship. And in December, Modi’s government passed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a law that would offer streamlined asylum applications to members of all South Asia’s major religions — except Muslims, India’s largest minority community and a regular BJP target.
The passage of the CAA sparked a wave of demonstrations from opponents of the BJP. Across the country, including on the JNU campus, protesters rose up in opposition to the law, which they said was a flagrant violation of India’s secular constitution that privileged Hindus and other groups over Muslims. “The very soul of the Indian freedom struggle and constitution was the idea of equal citizenship for people regardless of their faith,” Harsh Mander, an activist and former civil servant, told TIME in December before he was detained while peacefully protesting. “It’s this that they are destroying.”
Noah Seelam—AFP via Getty ImagesStudents and supporters hold placards as police personnel stand guard during a protest against an attack on the students and teachers at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in New Delhi on Jan. 6, 2020.
The attack on JNU on Sunday came shortly after more than 100 other students and teachers had participated in a protest against fee increases that would have made it difficult for poorer students like Singh to pay for their stay at JNU. Even though their protest wasn’t linked to the Citizenship Amendment Act, the attack on peacefully-demonstrating students was seen by many in India as an attempt by supporters of the BJP to intimidate protesters at a time when it is struggling to keep them off the streets more generally.
It wouldn’t be the first time. Police stormed two universities in December amid the anti-CAA protests sweeping the country. At Jamia Millia Islamia university in Delhi, they were filmed beating a group of Muslim students protesting the law. Shortly afterward, police stormed Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh. Two students there claimed to have been tortured in police custody. On Monday, Delhi police charged Ghosh, the JNU students’ union president who was left bleeding from her head, and 19 other protesting students with vandalism, but have not arrested any of the masked attackers. Police have also been blamed for several of the 23 deaths in nationwide anti-CAA protests, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state.
The group many students blamed for the attack, the ABVP, is the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — the ideological powerhouse of the Hindu nationalist movement, which in turn is the parent organization of the ruling BJP. The RSS was founded in 1925 and was heavily influenced by European fascist parties, including the Nazis in Germany. Subscribing to the belief that rigid discipline is the key to creating a force able to wield political power, the RSS runs camps where adherents are drilled with a regime of Hindu nationalist lectures and physical exercise while wearing khaki uniforms. Modi, along with many other top members of the BJP, attended RSS camps as an adolescent and continues to be close to the organization.
The attackers at JNU weren’t decked out in khaki — but displayed other signs of allegiance to the Sangh Parivar, the constellation of Hindu nationalist organizations with the RSS at its center. Rakeesh Kumar, 24, was walking towards his dormitory on Sunday night when four masked men stopped him. “What is your ideology?” one man carrying an iron rod asked him. In any normal circumstance Kumar would have laughed at the question, he tells TIME, but he was terrified. He pointed to the book he was carrying: a political science volume titled “Hindu Nationalism” edited by Christophe Jaffrelot.
“Had they known what the book was about I would have been beaten badly,” Kumar says, referring to the book’s critical bent. But when the men saw it, they left him alone. “Hail Lord Ram,” they said — a slogan referring to the militaristic deity who has become an icon to Hindu nationalists — and moved on toward another building.
As is often the way when it comes to fashion, what’s old is new again: Vogue Italia‘s January 2020 issue is replacing its usual glossy photographs and editorial fashion spreads with illustrations. The reason? To reduce the environmental impact of photoshoots.
“This is the first time Vogue has done this since the introduction of photography in its pages in the early 20th century,” Condé Nast, Vogue‘s publishing company, said in a press release on Jan. 3. “The purpose of this rather bold move is, simply, to be more sustainable.”
What’s so wasteful about the magazine’s usual production? “One hundred and fifty people involved. About twenty flights and a dozen or so train journeys. Forty cars on standby. Sixty international deliveries. Lights switched on for at least ten hours non-stop, partly powered by gasoline-fueled generators. Food waste from the catering services. Plastic to wrap the garments. Electricity to recharge phones, cameras…” Emanuele Farneti, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia said in a statement explaining the resources that went into the fashion editorials in the magazine’s September 2019 issue.
Fashion magazines’ September issues are renowned for being especially heavy due to coverage of the new season’s collections and campaign ads. Nonetheless, they offer insight into the scale of the resources spent on production.
For the January issue, VogueItalia instead asked seven artists — David Salle, Vanessa Beecroft, Cassi Namoda, Milo Manara, Delphine Desane, Paolo Ventura, and Yoshitaka Amano — to each draw a cover, each piece featuring a model wearing Gucci clothes. The resulting images span the mediums of painting, drawing, graphic design, comic book design and collage.
“The challenge was to prove it is possible to show clothes without photographing them,” Farneti wrote in an Instagram post unveiling the covers. “This is a first… Vogue Italia has never had an illustrated cover: and as far as I know no issue of Vogue Italia in which photography is not the primary visual medium has ever been printed.”
Founded in 1892, Vogue‘s earliest covers were all illustrated; the magazine later became one of the first periodicals to run a cover with a color photograph in 1932, per the New York Times, amid a larger gravitation towards photography. Vogue Italia‘s January cover is the first time the brand has had an illustrated cover since “the introduction of photography in its pages in the early 20th century,” according to Condé Nast.
Farneti also wrote that the money saved by not producing photoshoots will be donated to the restoration of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, Italy. The museum has been damaged by recent flooding, which scientists argue has been worsened by climate change.
Condé Nast said the issue is just one example of efforts being undertaken by the brand to be more sustainable — for example, Vogue Italia will reportedly change its packaging to 100% compostable plastic wrap in the next year. In December 2019, all 25 editors-in-chief of Vogue brands signed a new set of principles, which included a commitment to sustainability.
At least one person has been killed in Puerto Rico and power is out across the island after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast early Tuesday morning, according to the Associated Press. The 6.4 magnitude quake follows a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that struck nearby on Monday, resulting in the collapse of Punta Ventana, a coastal rock formation and popular tourist destination.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports the 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck at 4:24 a.m. about five miles south of the city of Indios.
Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez Garced declared a state of emergency Tuesday morning. There are currently 255 displaced people in southern Puerto Rico as a result of the earthquake, according to the governor’s office.
The island has experienced over 400 earthquakes since December 28, when a 4.7 magnitude quake struck in the same region. Eleven of the earthquakes since then have been higher than 4.0, according to the USGS. Tuesday’s quake was the most severe since Dec. 28. At least eight people have been injured in building collapses, according to the AP.
USGS says there is currently no threat of tsunami — though some municipalities along the southern coast began evacuating out of fear, according to Puerto Rico’s emergency management office.
Carmen Guzmán-Mato tells TIME she and her family fled from the southern town of Parguera, where they had been vacationing, to San Juan on Tuesday morning. “It felt like the house was sinking; we woke up in a panic,” she said.
Officials sounded a tsunami siren that forced the town’s residents to run and drive uphill. The tsunami warning was a false alarm, but it was enough to push the family into leaving.
“I started vomiting, I believe, out of anxiety,” says Guzmán-Mato, who is from Puerto Rico but is currently living in Brooklyn, New York. Her family stayed in the town until daybreak, then decided to evacuate. “It was tough because you want to leave, you want to get out of there, but at the same time it’s like, well, what if you’re on a road and all of a sudden another [earthquake] happens?”
Earlier USGS reports indicated Tuesday morning’s earthquake was a magnitude 6.6, but the number has since been adjusted to 6.4. Puerto Rico now faces likely aftershocks of magnitude 3 or higher in the coming week, USGS says.

Damage from Monday’s 5.8 magnitude earthquake destroyed several buildings. Puerto Rico’s electricity supplier, Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica, has reported an island-wide power outage as a result of Tuesday’s 6.4 magnitude earthquake. Power should be restored throughout the day, it said.
PREPA ALERT: José Ortiz, CEO of PREPA, informs that damages have been reported in Central Costa Sur and we are evaluating substations throughout the island. If no other mayor issues occur with our system we should reenergize early during the day. CC7 pic.twitter.com/5K8ZqkC7zV
— Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (@AEEONLINE) January 7, 2020
Here’s what to know about the earthquakes striking Puerto Rico, an island still recovering from 2017’s Hurricane Maria.
Who are the victims?
According to the AP, 73-year-old Nelson Martínez was killed after a wall collapsed on him in his home in Ponce, about 14 miles away from the earthquake’s epicenter. Ponce mayor María Meléndez told local television reporters that eight others were injured, according to the AP.
How are authorities and Puerto Ricans responding?
Before declaring a state of emergency, Vázquez Garced announced Tuesday morning that all government employees except for first responders have been relieved from duty for the day in order to prioritize safety. The governor’s office also urged the public to remain calm.
Queremos que todos estén seguros. Es por esto que se suspenden los trabajos en el sector público por el día de hoy, para que puedan estar con sus familia, implantando sus planes de emergencia. (1/2)
The governor’s office approved $130 million to aid in the emergency, Vázquez Garced announced at a Tuesday morning press conference. The office has also set up a mobile unit in Ponce to coordinate recovery efforts. The National Guard has also been called into action.
Vázquez Garced told radio station WKAQ 580 that officials will begin the process of assessing damage and identifying further possible casualties. She urged Puerto Ricans to reach out to family, friends and neighbors, especially the elderly or those who live alone, to make sure all are accounted for.
Guzman-Mato, now safe in San Juan, says she and her family is still on edge as aftershocks are likely to continue. “In Puerto Rico you always hear that we’re due for a big one,” she said. “After [Monday’s earthquake] everyone was talking about, ‘alright, get your emergency kits going,’ but we had one day and it came back even harder.”

Businesses spent 1.3 trillion dollars on business travel in 2017. That’s double the U.S. Defense budget. Businesses don’t tend to spend frivolously. They spend on travel because spending reaps rewards. You travel in-person to a conference and come away with connections, education, and new ideas. You travel to China to broker a deal, you gain a trade partner and a ton of money you wouldn’t have if you’d tried to broker the deal over the phone. If you’re a freelancer or an online entrepreneur, travel might not always be part of your budget. You might prefer to hole up and

Mumbai: Reliance Industries (RIL) is planning to raise as much as $2 billion (Rs 14,370 crore) via overseas syndicated loans to fund routine capital expenditure in telecommunications and petroleum businesses. This would be among the largest fundraising efforts by an Indian company in fiscal 2020.RIL is in talks with at least a dozen banks including Barclays, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and MUFG and plans to launch the formal process to raise funds by mid-February, multiple people with knowledge of the matter told ET. The money could be raised in one or two tranches."Initial talks have started. This fundraising is for the routine capital expenditure and would ideally be completed before fiscal-end," said one of the persons. 73148139 RIL didn't respond till press time Tuesday to an email seeking comment. Banks could not be contacted immediately."The company is holding individual meetings with each investment banker to assess the situation, with more banks likely to join the syndication process," said another person.The offshore loan is expected to be of five-year tenure. It would be priced after adding a spread, or markup, over the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR).De-leveraging balance sheetAlthough the initial price guidance is not yet fixed, the spread is likely to be more than 150 basis points, said a third person involved in the exercise.In June last year, the company raised $1.85 billion of long-term foreign loans also to fund capital expenditure.The fresh fundraising comes at a time when India's largest company by market capitalisation has started de-leveraging its balance sheet by announcing plans to sell stakes in key businesses. The company had announced that it is in talks with Saudi Aramco to sell a 20 per cent stake in its oil and petroleum business while Canadian asset manager Brookfield said it would invest $3.7 billion in its telecom tower business and another $2 billion in gas transportation.Reliance had total debt of Rs 1.5 lakh crore as on March 31, 2019. Chairman Mukesh Ambani assured shareholders in August 2019 that the company would be a zero net-debt firm in 18 months.Indian companies raised a record $30.25 billion via bonds and loans in 2019, tapping relatively cheap offshore credit, according to data compiled by Dealogic. Dollar bond issuances touched $20.88 billion in the past year. Companies also availed of foreign currency loans worth $8.36 billion during the year.
NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: Some of the biggest names in India's startup and technology ecosystem will be part of a committee that the government is forming to advise on reforms to further boost the country's fast-growing digital economy and remove longstanding roadblocks.Ride-hailing firm Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal, ed-tech platform Byju's founder Byju Raveendran, Infosys cofounders Nandan Nilekani and Kris Gopalakrishnan, and a number of global and home-grown venture capital investors, including Siddarth Pai, the founding partner of 3one4 Capital, are expected to be part of the Startup Advisory Council, people who were briefed on the developments told ET.The Council will also be represented by government officials and regulators, they said. "It was felt that there should be a structured way in which the government engages with startups at regular intervals. So, we're arranging the concerned people who deal with startups from the relevant ministries, people from the startup ecosystem — be it entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders," a senior government official told ET on condition of anonymity.First Meeting Likely Before BudgetAggarwal, Raveendran, Gopalakrishnan and Nilekani did not respond to emails till press time. Pai declined to comment. The decision to create the council was discussed at the 2019 Global Venture Capital Summit, organised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Goa government last month, one of the people told ET.A number of closed-door meetings were held between industry representatives and policymakers at the second edition of the two-day summit, the sources said, where the industry veterans had listed out their requirements from the lawmakers.ET reported last month that India's private equity and venture capital industry had urged domestic pension funds to allocate 1% of their overall assets to alternative investment funds and proposed the creation of multiple startup-focused fund-of-funds backed by the government, to channel such investments. 73147996 The Indian Venture Capital Association (IVCA), the nodal body representing the sector which mooted the idea, is also seeking tax breaks as incentives to create such pools of domestic capital. The first meeting of the council is expected to take place before the upcoming Union Budget, where issues plaguing the startup sector are likely to be tabled.Key among these will be providing investors exemption from capital gains tax, to promote redeployment of capital into startups and taxing of employee stock ownership plans (Esops) only at the time of sale rather than when the shares are vested.The move to create a Startup Advisory Council is also in sync with the DPIIT's Startup India Vision 2024, which has proposed significant cuts in compliance time for startups and to ease regulatory requirements for entrepreneurs.The vision document also envisages several measures to boost startups, including setting up 500 incubators and accelerators, creating better facilities for debt financing and deploying the entire corpus of Rs 10,000 crore fund-of-funds.ET reported on December 27 that DPIIT was also in talks with the finance and corporate affairs ministries, the Sebi and the RBI over a plethora of regulatory changes covering startups."We are working on regulatory changes that would aim at easier incorporation of a company, easier compliances, reduction of tax compliance to less than one hour per month," DPIIT secretary Guruprasad Mohapatra had told ET at the time.
MUMBAI: Axis Bank is witnessing a wave of resignations with at least 15,000 people leaving in the past few months, as mid and branch-level executives struggle to cope with the new management's growth drive that's pushing the limits, three people familiar with the matter said.There were some exits at the senior level as well, but most of the resignations were at the branches which are the vital touch points with customers. So, this could hamper its ability to continue growing without hiccups, although the bank says it is also stepping up its pace of hiring. "With the complete overhaul of the way the bank functions, many are left wondering about their roles," said one of the executives, who did not want to be identified. "Many old-timers are feeling a bit of discomfort with the cultural change." Axis Bank admitted that it had seen record resignations in the past few months, but said it had already hired 28,000 people this fiscal year and would hire another 4,000 in the last quarter. The net new hiring for the bank this fiscal year is 12,800. It also has plans to hire 30,000 people in the next two years. The attrition rate at the bank this fiscal year is nearly 19%, compared with an average of about 15%. 73147663 The bank has 72,000 employees. It had an attrition of 11,500 people in the last fiscal year."The bank is expanding fast and this has been a year of large number of new hirings, substantially higher numbers compared to last year both in gross as well as on net basis," executive director Rajesh Dahiya said. "Our employees are our biggest asset and differentiators."Chief executive Amitabh Chaudhry is overhauling the functioning of Axis Bank after the Reserve Bank of India declined another term to his predecessor, Shikha Sharma. The former head of HDFC Life is cutting down on risk taking and has brought in a new bunch of his choice of people to deliver on his strategy.Some of his hires are Deepak Maheshwari, a former banker from HDFC Bank; Neeraj Gambhir from Nomura Securities; Ganesan Sankaran from Federal Bank and Pralay Mondal from Yes Bank, to drive retail business. Rajiv Anand, an executive director, was moved to corporate banking."We have a sharper focus with our GPS'22 (growth, profitability, sustainability) strategy and want to keep building the momentum," said Dahiya. "We believe we are on the right track."The changes led to many exits including the latest one by Jairam Sridharan as the chief financial officer. Before that, Shashikant Rathi, its head of bond trading, and JP Singh from the commercial banking division quit. Cyril Anand, who was the chief risk officer, took the employee retirement option.Under Chaudhry, the bank has seen its reporting structure change. Earlier, most of the business heads reported to executive directors. Now, almost all of them report independently to the CEO.The bank is also going big on automation and making use of artificial intelligence to drive growth, which is making many of the oldtimers uncomfortable. Among the new hiring, the slant is towards engineers rather than bankers.
PUNE: Indian IT services companies are increasingly looking at Nordic countries, with most firms already having a sizeable presence in the region. Over the last few months, Tech Mahindra and Wipro said that they would set up centres in Finland, while HCL Technologies has been present there for a decade now. Infosys, in addition to working with companies in the region, got a foothold in the market through its acquisition of Fluido in 2018.The Nordic countries — Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland — are largely English speaking, which removes the language barrier that exists in some other countries within continental Europe.Even as they are bound by EU guidelines, these countries are making it easier for foreign nationals to move there, given the shortage of highskilled local talent.73147714 "The Nordic region of Europe is definitely one of the most progressive and innovative regions, with many leading technology companies — including chipmakers, semiconductor, equipment manufacturers and service providers — having their research and development base in the country," said Jagdish Mitra, chief strategy officer, Tech Mahindra. "With such a futuristic communication ecosystem and a high-quality workforce that understands technology, it makes good sense to step-up our presence in the region."L&T Infotech (LTI), a group firm of engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro which was set up by two Danish engineers in 1938, looked at this region first when it decided to expand into Europe. "Nordics' IT & BPO services market size is estimated to be over $25 billion, and has a high outsourcing maturity in the region… Our investment and expansion are further driven by the fact that Nordic countries have been at the forefront of innovation," said Sudhir Chaturvedi, president-sales, LTI, which also provides services to the region from its nearshore centre in Poland. LTI recently won a multimillion dollar contract with Hoist Finance AB of Sweden. In recent years, IT sector growth has been led by digital trends like Cloud, AI and automation, and India has emerged as an important source of talent for the region. "Companies have access to the global market beyond just the Nordics. With 5G and 6G connectivity, there's a lot of R&D being done here across industries like telecom and healthcare," said Jukka Holappa, country manager India, Business Finland.Interest in the region started with telecom, but over the last few years it has extended to almost all other industry segments."The Scandinavian strategy of Indian service providers is two-fold. First, increase share of wallet in large accounts where they have footprint but compete with other local and global firms. Second, target new accounts, typically medium size businesses," said Pareekh Jain, founder, Pareekh Jain Consulting.L&T Technology Services (LTTS), for instance, started out working with a few marquee customers in the region, and then scaled it up to multiple accounts. Today, it is the largest pure-play engineering services company in the Nordics belt. Alongside, it has also moved up the value chain, partnering with companies on their digital transformation initiatives.
MUMBAI: German airport developer Fraport AG is making a fresh attempt to exit a GMR Infra-led consortium that runs the Delhi Airport, by selling its 10% stake in it, said two people aware of the talks.The latest round of talks has been on for the last four months. GMR has placed an offer on the table, but Fraport is yet to accept it, said one of the people without elaborating.Fraport has also approached the state-run National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) to buy its stake. NIIF, along with Gulf sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and Canada's PSP Investments last year signed a pact with GMR's rival GVK Group to invest Rs 7,614 crore in the latter's airport business.GMR owns 64% in Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), while the Airports Authority of India (AAI) owns 26%. Fraport owns the remaining stake in the consortium.Spokespersons at GMR and Fraport said they wouldn't comment "on speculation". NIIF didn't respond to queries before the story went to press.This is the latest of Fraport's attempts in the last eight years to exit the consortium. Senior executives in the company had publicly announced its intentions of an exit in 2012.There had also been advanced talks for a stake sale in 2016. The attempts to exit were unsuccessful, in some instances over differences in valuation and at others over GMR's own funding problems. Fraport picked up a stake in DIAL in 2006 as part of the consortium that won the award to develop a greenfield airport in Delhi.GMR has the right of first refusal on any exit that Fraport would plan. This means it will need a go ahead for any stake sale."GMR may choose to match a price it gets from any other investor such as NIIF or let Fraport go ahead with its deal," said one of the people cited above.Fraport is the owner and operator of the Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest. Last year, it sold its 30% stake in the Hannover airport, Germany for 109 million euros.In its AGM in May, company executives gave a guidance of consolidated earnings ranging between ¤420 million to 460 million euros in 2019. It had posted consolidated earnings of ¤506 million in 2018, up 40.6% on the previous year.Fraport's move comes at a time when GMR is awaiting a Rs 8,500-crore investment from the Tata Group, Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC and Hong Kong's SSG Capital Management in its airports business.The move hit a hurdle last year on a rule that mandated that an entity owning a stake in an Indian airline can't own more than 10% in a local airport. Tata Sons owns close to half of two Indian carriers Vistara and AirAsia and the earlier proposed 20% stake in GMR's airports business would give it a 12.8% stake in DIAL. Sources have said the Tatas have agreed to taper the shareholding to 15%.
NBFCs cannot offer competition to banks because they have a very different model, said Rashesh Shah, chairman, Edelweiss Group. If NBFCs and banks come together in a collaborative model then there will be a powerful outcome, he said in an interview with Saikat Das. Edited excerpts:Will this year be different for NBFCs from the previous year?Consolidation will mark this calendar year. Last year you learned a lot. Now, it is time to utilise it.But I think the old model of investing money is not going to be the game going forward. You have to be very efficient on capital, focused on partnering with banks. NBFCs cannot be competition to banks because they have a very different model. If NBFCs and banks come together in a collaborative model then there will be a powerful outcome.What is the possibility of economic revival this year?Overall economic outlook is optimistic. If you look at the GST collection of the last couple of months, it has shown a clear improvement.Most of the high frequency data that we are looking at is also showing improvement. Interest rate cuts and the liquidity surplus will likely aid economic recovery this year. Investor mood, too, has also improved.The government's step of corporate tax cut was a big step. The government has also taken a lot of actions in the last three months to move things along. So, the green shoots are there, but the short term is bit of a hurdle. How will rising crude impact our economy?If global crude oil goes above $80 per barrel, then it starts fuelling inflation in India. While we are waiting for another round of rate cuts by the RBI, if the oil prices go up , then the rate cuts may get delayed.RBI did not cut rates because they were worried about the food prices. Oil has a little bit of uptake on inflation, and it will be a worry if the oil price goes up above $80 per barrel.But, it is unlikely to happen.Which is the proxy for economic revival?Two-wheelers and FMCG will take the first leap in the rural area. Urban growth will be [seen in] auto (fourwheelers) and homes. They will be a proxy for growth. Home sales are doing well. Rural demand will be back in a year's time.India will grow well when four segments including two-wheeler, four-wheeler, home sales and FMCG start doing well again. Once this happens, you can say that India is back on track and the consumption engine is moving forward.Are home loan rates attractive enough?We are hoping that the RBI continues with another couple of rate cuts. I think, home loan rates are now at 7.7% (with reference to the SBI mortgage rate). This is the lowest since the last 15 years, except in 2015, when it had touched 7.5%. Lower rates are going to trigger higher home sales this year. If you see, home sales were higher in 2019 compared to a year earlier. The demand-supply in real estate is also stabilising because the sales have been higher than the launches.When will growth come back?I think the industry will come back to growth after FY21. The next financial year will be another year of consolidation and strengthening. Most businesses are not in a hurry to grow. Most smart players are using this period as a time to strengthen, stabilise, restructure, focus on training and invest significantly in technology.I think this is a great way to invest in technology because even the old credit vs the new credit way of approaching credit has all these parameters like partnering with banks. Technology plays a big role in partnering with banks. It matters when you tap new credit opportunities in smaller towns and cities.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Aurobindo Pharma and Dr Reddy's Laboratories are the best ideas for CLSA in the pharmaceutical space in 2020, with the expectation of sustained improvement in earnings trajectory being its basis for being bullish on the sector. The foreign brokerage believes that the sustained growth in earnings in the sector will be led by higher share of the US generics market volume, traction in differentiated products and resilient profitability in India. Moreover, the brokerage believes that the valuations of Indian pharma companies are compelling in the backdrop of an improving earnings outlook. The Nifty Pharma index is down 9% in the last one year period, while the benchmark Nifty has gained 11.6% in the same period. "With sector PE valuations compelling at -1sd (standard deviation), midteens year-on-year earnings growth expectations, positive newsflow on US FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) plant resolution, and success in differentiated products could drive re-rating," said CLSA. Here's what CLSA is saying about its best ideas for 2020 in the pharma space:AUROBINDO PHARMACMP in : Rs 452.45Last one year change : -37.47%CLSA Rating/Target Price : Buy/Rs 600The brokerage likes Aurobindo Pharma for its strong US generics presence and attractive risk to reward, given a price to earnings valuation of 9.3 times FY21 EPS. The brokerage has raised target price on the stock to Rs 600 from Rs 580. The brokerage has estimated a 7% compounded growth in earnings for Aurobindo over FY19-FY22 period (excluding the Sandoz acquisition) and expects margin improvement to be a key area to watch this year. "Aurobindo's strength in manufacturing and backward integration enables it to withstand US competitive pressure. It is targeting niche launches which should enable faster US growth with a stronger margin profile," said CLSA.SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIESCMP in : Rs 446.35Last one year change : 3.8%CLSA Rating/Target Price : Buy/Rs 570The brokerage has rated Sun Pharma as a buy due to its improving US fundamentals, led by monetisation of its speciality pipeline and No. 1 India rank. CLSA has raised target price on the stock to Rs 570 from Rs 540 based on 20 times December 2021 earnings per share (estimated). "The balance sheet remains strong with a net cash position and strong FCF (free cash flow) generation, allowing the company to conclude more deals in the specialty space," said CLSA. The brokerage expects Sun's revenue in the US to show a 6% compounded growth to $1.9 billion over FY19-FY22. "Many steps have been taken to address governance issues. A Sebi inquiry on a whistleblower complaint is ongoing and the outcome will be monitored closely," said CLSA.DR REDDY'S LABORATORIESCMP in : Rs 2884.05Last one year change : 12.8%CLSA Rating/Target Price : Buy/Rs 3450Dr Reddy's business is attractive, considering an increasing focus on India, China and other emerging markets and lower dependence on marquee US products that had been a hindrance due to higher earnings volatility, said CLSA. "We expect the US to show 7% revenue CAGR to $1.1 billionn more than FY19-22, which will depend on approval for Nuvaring in 2HCY20 (July-December) and Copaxone in 1HCY21 (Jan-June, 2021) and a basket of smaller launches (30 planned for FY20). gRevlimid (generic Revlimid) could be an interesting opportunity for Dr Reddy's depending on the litigation outcome," said CLSA. CLSA said classification of injectable facility at Duvvada and reinspection of the Srikakulam API facility by the FDA are key compliance-related triggers. CLSA has raised target price on Dr Reddy's to Rs 3,450 from Rs 3,330.
PUNE: Indian IT services companies are increasingly looking at Nordic countries, with most firms already having a sizeable presence in the region. Over the last few months, Tech Mahindra and Wipro said that they would set up centres in Finland, while HCL Technologies has been present there for a decade now. Infosys, in addition to working with companies in the region, got a foothold in the market through its acquisition of Fluido in 2018.The Nordic countries — Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland — are largely English speaking, which removes the language barrier that exists in some other countries within continental Europe.Even as they are bound by EU guidelines, these countries are making it easier for foreign nationals to move there, given the shortage of highskilled local talent.73147714 "The Nordic region of Europe is definitely one of the most progressive and innovative regions, with many leading technology companies — including chipmakers, semiconductor, equipment manufacturers and service providers — having their research and development base in the country," said Jagdish Mitra, chief strategy officer, Tech Mahindra. "With such a futuristic communication ecosystem and a high-quality workforce that understands technology, it makes good sense to step-up our presence in the region."L&T Infotech (LTI), a group firm of engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro which was set up by two Danish engineers in 1938, looked at this region first when it decided to expand into Europe. "Nordics' IT & BPO services market size is estimated to be over $25 billion, and has a high outsourcing maturity in the region… Our investment and expansion are further driven by the fact that Nordic countries have been at the forefront of innovation," said Sudhir Chaturvedi, president-sales, LTI, which also provides services to the region from its nearshore centre in Poland. LTI recently won a multimillion dollar contract with Hoist Finance AB of Sweden. In recent years, IT sector growth has been led by digital trends like Cloud, AI and automation, and India has emerged as an important source of talent for the region. "Companies have access to the global market beyond just the Nordics. With 5G and 6G connectivity, there's a lot of R&D being done here across industries like telecom and healthcare," said Jukka Holappa, country manager India, Business Finland.Interest in the region started with telecom, but over the last few years it has extended to almost all other industry segments."The Scandinavian strategy of Indian service providers is two-fold. First, increase share of wallet in large accounts where they have footprint but compete with other local and global firms. Second, target new accounts, typically medium size businesses," said Pareekh Jain, founder, Pareekh Jain Consulting.L&T Technology Services (LTTS), for instance, started out working with a few marquee customers in the region, and then scaled it up to multiple accounts. Today, it is the largest pure-play engineering services company in the Nordics belt. Alongside, it has also moved up the value chain, partnering with companies on their digital transformation initiatives.
India's animal husbandry sector saw landmark move in 2019: US report The report, prepared by US Embassy New Delhi's Office of Agricultural Affairs (OAA), serves as a reference guide for stakeholders wishing to export food and agricultural products to India.
If you're planning to sell an older vehicle and replace it with a new one, you can transfer the license plates to your new vehicle. To do this, both vehicles must be registered in your name and both must have the same registration code. Under certain circumstances, you can also transfer the license plates to the individual you're selling the vehicle to. While the process for transferring plates from one vehicle to another can vary widely from one U.S. state to another, there are several basic steps that you can follow regardless of where you live.
Find a copy of your current vehicle registration paperwork. When you first registered the vehicle under your name (e.g., when you purchased the car or moved to a new state), a state official probably gave you a copy of the registration paperwork. This single sheet of paper contains your name, the vehicle's tag number, and the registration number. You'll need this document to transfer your plates.[1]
If you've lost your registration paperwork, you may be able to request a new copy at the motor vehicle office.
Gather the title to the newer vehicle you're transferring plates to. The title shows ownership of the vehicle. Since you won't have registered this vehicle in your name yet, you will have its title but not its registration. (You'll receive the registration when you transfer the plates.) So, before you transfer plates to the new vehicle, you must show ownership by presenting the title.[2]
If you've applied to transfer the vehicle but haven't yet received the new title itself, that's okay. Just bring in the title of the copy application that you've filled out and submitted.
Collect proof that the vehicle you're transferring the plates to is insured. Transfer your car insurance from your older vehicle (that currently has the plates on it) to the newer vehicle before visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office or tag office. Before transferring the plates, a clerk will request to see proof that the vehicle is insured. Documents that prove insurance include your insurance card or a paper copy of the form you received from the insurance company upon purchasing your insurance.[3]
This may not apply in all states. In various states, you do not to show prove that you have car insurance unless you have changed insurance companies since the last time you registered a vehicle.
Have your new vehicle inspected if your state requires it. Some states require that vehicles (whether new or used) undergo an inspection before they are registered and plated. In this case, take the vehicle to a reputable car mechanic. Ask them to test drive the car and look under the hood (and under the chassis) to confirm that it's in good shape. Also ask for a certificate of inspection to prove that the car passed.[4]
In some cases, you may need to get an emissions test as well to make sure that the car isn't emitting legal limits of toxic gasses.
Not all states require a vehicle inspection prior to transferring license plates. To find out if your state requires it, visit the website for the state's motor-vehicle agency.
Visit your local motor vehicle agency to begin the transfer process. Different states use different titles for their motor vehicle agencies. Some agencies are managed by the state's DMV, while others are referred to as "tag offices." If you're not sure where the nearest office is located, search online for "motor vehicle office near me."[5]
Keep your name consistent across the 2 vehicles' registrations. When you complete the registration paperwork for the newer vehicle, spell your name (and include the same parts of your name) the same as you did on the older vehicle's registration. If you register the new vehicle under a different name than the old vehicle was registered under (e.g., if you were married and changed your last name), you won't be able to transfer your license plates between vehicles.[6]
This rule may not hold in every state. If you're not sure if this applies in your state, ask a clerk at the tag office.
Pay the mandatory fee to complete the plate-transfer process. To finalize the plate transfer, the clerk will ask you to pay a small fee. The amount that you're required to pay will differ from state to state, but is usually under $10 USD. For instance, in Arkansas it costs $10 to transfer plates, but it only costs $1 in Colorado.[7]
Pay the fee with a credit or debit card, or by writing out a check to your state's motor vehicle division.
Leave the plates on the vehicle if you're selling it to a family member. If you are selling a vehicle to a member of your immediate family (e.g., a sibling, child, or parent), you may leave the license plates on. Visit the DMV or tag office with your family member, and bring proof of your relationship (such as birth certificates or state-issued identification). Sign over both the vehicle's title and the license plates to your family member by filling out any paperwork provided by a DMV staff member.[8]
Your family member can then register the vehicle in their name using the license plates still on the car.
If you sell the car to a family member who isn't part of your immediate family, you must remove the plates prior to the sale.
Likewise, if you sell the vehicle to someone you're not at all related to, remove the plates from the car before finalizing the sale.
Give the plates to the new owner if they're a resident of the same state. In a few states (e.g., Delaware), you are legally permitted to leave the license plates on your car when you sell it as long as the vehicle's new owner is a resident of the same state. The new owner must then register the vehicle in their name. Check at your local tag office to make sure this is permitted before leaving your plates on the car when you sell it.[9]
If you're not sure whether or not you can transfer plates in your state, check the website of your state's motor vehicle agency. Or, ask a staff member at the DMV or tag office.
Keep in mind that this may not be advantageous to you if you're replacing an older car with a newer one. Without plates to transfer to the new vehicle, you'll have to pay for new plates during registration.
Return the plates to the motor vehicles office in states that require it. In certain states (e.g., Arizona), license plates are owned by the state government. Vehicle owners must return the plates to the state when they sell the car that the plates had been registered to. The simplest way to do this is to surrender the plates at the tag office. If you don't live near a tag office, you could also return the plates by mail.[10]
To find out if your state requires drivers to return their plates, check online with the state's motor vehicle agency. Or, ask a clerk at the tag office.
Some of the particularities of transferring a license plate will differ slightly from state to state. If you're ever confused or not sure what the next step should be, talk to a staff member at your local DMV or tag office.
In most states, when you sell a vehicle to a new owner (as long as they live in the same state as you), they can keep the same plates on the vehicle. The new owner will still need register the vehicle under their name, though.[11]
In most states (e.g., North Carolina), the plate-transfer fee will be waived if the vehicle's owner dies and the title and registration are passed to the owner's spouse.[12]
Starting your own jewelry business can be an intimidating but also incredibly rewarding experience. Whether you're interested in making your own pieces, producing your designs with a manufacturer, or selling pre-made products, a jewelry business can be a great way to bring in some extra cash or even a full-time income. Although the jewelry market may appear crowded, you can set yourself for success by creating a strong business plan, identifying and targeting a specific audience, and cultivating a unique brand for your product.
Create a business plan as a roadmap. A business plan is a comprehensive document that outlines what your business is and where it is going. It should also include an actionable, time-based plan for reaching those goals. To start, you can search online for templates and examples of small business plans, especially for jewelry businesses. Then, for your own business, write down your:[1]
Vision and mission: what you want to achieve with your business.
Products and activities: the kind of jewelry you will sell and any other activities you will participate in (such as teaching or bespoke commissions).
Customers: types of people you hope will buy your jewelry.
Customer Service: how you will reach and interact with your potential customers (such as email, social media, or a physical storefront).
Suppliers and Resources: everywhere you will get your supplies, including labor.
Income Sources: how your business will bring in money (jewelry sales, workshops, or commissions, for example).
Pricing and Cost Structure: how you will determine prices for your jewelry and what types of payment you will accept.
Brand and Visuals: key elements of your brand and how you will represent yourself visually in marketing materials and online.
Marketing: how you will get the word out about your business.
Team: everyone involved in the business and what their roles will be.
Choose a name for your business. The name of your jewelry business may be the first thing your potential customers hear, so make sure it is unique and memorable. Consider choosing a name that relates to common industry terms so your potential customers know what you're selling: the names of materials you work with frequently ("gold" or "beads"), your method of production ("crafts" or "creations" for handmade pieces), or your style ("boho designs" or "minimalist"). If you plan to make a very specific type of jewelry, feel free to be more specific with your name ("The Pendant Boutique" or "Crochet Bracelet Creations," for example).
To ensure your business name is not already taken by others, run a quick search to see if the website name is still available. You can also check with the Patent and Trademark Office, your local government, or an attorney, who can conduct a name search for you.[2]
Many successful designers incorporate their own names into the titles of their jewelry businesses.
Register your business with a government agency. Different countries and U.S. states have different regulations, but many will require that you register your business to achieve legitimate legal status. Since procedures vary from location to location, it's best to start by contacting your city's Chamber of Commerce or Small Business Development Center. They can help guide you through the steps to legally register your business.[3]
When registering your business, be sure to clarify what records you'll be required to keep going forward. You don't want to be stuck with the wrong data when it comes time to file your taxes.[4]
Build a basic financial model. Estimate all your costs and compare them to your expected sales to determine if your business is realistic. Make sure to include overhead costs like equipment, utilities, marketing, and labor, as well as the cost of supplies. If you overall costs are greater than your expected sales, think about how you can change your business plan to create a more sustainable venture. Consider ways to reduce your expenses as well as methods for increasing your income.[5]
For example, if you want to use high-priced gemstones in your work, you'll need to sell your pieces for a higher cost in order to make a profit. This may determine the types of customers you'll need to target.
Make your own pieces if you enjoy hand-crafting jewelry. Making jewelry by hand can help you create unique, personalized products. Depending on your talents and interest, there are many ways to make your own pieces including beading, metalwork, fabric or string arts, and gemstone setting. If you already enjoy jewelry making, making your own products can also be a great way to translate a hobby into a profitable business venture. If you're new to jewelry making, consider starting with free online classes to pick up some basic skills.[6]
Whether you're an experienced crafter or entirely new to jewelry-making, you can refine your skills through YouTube tutorials, instructional books, and websites. You can also search online to see what in-person courses may be available in your area at local schools and craft stores. [7]
Produce jewelry through a manufacturer if you prefer to focus on design. If you have an idea for the product but don't want to make each piece yourself, you can hire a manufacturer to produce your jewelry. Start with accurate sketches or 3D renderings of your design, then hire an assembly team or third-party manufacturer to create the actual pieces. Most manufacturers can ship directly to your customers.[8]
To produce your designs, you can choose to use a simple pencil and sketch pad or invest in design software like Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, Pixlr, Inkscape or DrawPlus. Especially if you're working with fine jewelry, you might consider jewelry-specific design software like JewelCAD, Matrix, or Rhinojewel.[9]
Local manufacturers can offer simpler communication and faster shipping times, while overseas manufacturers may be able to provide lower costs or more production options. Try searching https://makersrow.com, www.mfg.com, or www.alibaba.com for options.[10]
Sell pre-made jewelry for a more large-scale approach. Consider bringing in pre-manufactured jewelry from a wholesaler like Alibaba. You can then repackage and sell these pieces individually with a markup. This pre-made jewelry can serve as your entire inventory or you can use it to supplement your own designs.[11]
When purchasing jewelry wholesale, the price-per-item usually drops if you purchase more pieces. Consider waiting until you can place a large order to increase your profit on each piece of jewelry you sell.[12]
Determine your potential customers and research how to engage with them. An easy place to start is by looking at jewelry businesses similar to your own. By visiting craft fairs, searching online selling websites like Etsy, browsing social media, or scheduling friendly chats, figure out who their audience is, how they sell their products, and how they engage with their customers. [13]
Speak with friends and family or do a poll on social media to determine what types of jewelry your potential audience is looking for and how they prefer to shop.[14]
If you've already sold any pieces of jewelry, ask your customers why they chose to purchase from you.
Select locations to sell your jewelry depending on your customers' preferences. Based on your customer research, make strategic decisions about where to sell your pieces. For example, if you learn that your desired customers don't use online shopping, you'll probably have more luck selling at boutiques or crafts fairs. Consider:[15]
Setting up a booth at local and regional arts and crafts fairs.
Selling at farmers markets.
Placing products at local boutiques by speaking to their purchasing managers.
Setting up a page on Etsy or Amazon.
Selling directly through your business' website.
Hosting jewelry parties or selling to your friends and family.
Utilizing social media platforms like Facebook Marketplace.
Price your jewelry so that you can make a profit. Start by determining how much it costs you to produce each piece of jewelry by adding the price of the materials, the time it took you to produce the piece (determined by an hourly market rate), the cost of the packaging, and any taxes. In order to make a profit from your jewelry, your retail price must be greater than the cost it took to produce it.[16]
Typically, retailers will sell jewelry at 1.5-2.5 times higher than the cost to produce the piece. So, for example, if it cost you $50 to produce a necklace, you could consider selling it for $75-$125.[17]
Find what makes your brand different and make it your main selling point. Understanding what makes your product stand out is the first step in defining your brand. If you already have an inventory of jewelry, examine it to see if any patterns emerge, such as a certain aesthetic or trend. Certain principles (sustainability or female empowerment, for example) may also guide your business and be part of your differentiator. Whether it's a minimalist geometric look, a commitment to using recycled materials, or a dependably fashion-forward style, a consistent and unique brand can help bring in new business as well as repeat customers.[18]
Try searching online and saving images that inspire you to see if any trends emerge. Pinterest, Etsy, and Instagram can be great places to start.
If you don't have a strong vision for your brand at the beginning, you can figure it out as you go. Make or purchase jewelry that what inspires you and then talk to your customers about what attracted them to your work. [19]
Craft a logo that reflects your brand. Creating a memorable and effective logo can help make a great first impression on potential customers. When designing your logo, remember to keep your brand and target audience at the center of your decisions. Make a list of everything you want your logo to communicate about your business, as well as any aesthetic requirements, before starting your first design.[20]
If you have the resources, you can hire a professional designer to create a logo for you. Try searching online for designers through websites like 99Designs.[21]
If you're on a tighter budget, there are plenty of free online logo makers. Shopify, Logaster, and Canva all offer easy to use logo makers or generators.[22]
Start a website for your business. Your website will serve as one of the most public-facing displays of your jewelry business and should help to establish your brand. Create a website that includes images of your work, details on how to purchase it, and contact information. If you want to sell your products online, you can also choose to sell your jewelry directly through your website.
Purchase the domain name for your business through a registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, 1&1 Internet or Dotster.[23]
Based on your budget and design preferences, choose a service to host your website such as Google sites, Wix, Weebly, Intuit, Yahoo, Bluehost, Ruxter, or Squarespace. Many of these web hosts will provide templates for you to create your website.
If you want to sell your jewelry through your website, look for a web hosting service that offers built-in ecommerce software, like Shopify, Bigcommerce, Wix, Weebly or Squarespace. If you're more confident in your web development skills, you can also choose to use self-hosted open source shopping cart software, such as Magento, Word Press with WooCommerce, or Open Cart.[24]
Take great photos of your jewelry for marketing and online sales. Since jewelry is a largely visual product, good photos are critical to your business, especially if you're selling online. Even the most beautiful piece of jewelry can look unappealing to buyers if the photographs are poorly lit or unflattering. Take high-quality photos of your work to increase online sales and create attention-grabbing marketing and online materials.[25]
If you're not great at photography, hire a professional. Even just a handful of images can provide a strong base for marketing materials. [26]
Be consistent with your product photography and try to use similar backgrounds for all your photos. For backdrops, consider using plain white, wood grain, marble, or slate. Also think about photographing your jewelry on a model to show scale and styling suggestions. [27]
Develop a presence on social media for your brand. Creating accounts on social media can help to advertise your jewelry company and introduce your work to new customers. Use these accounts to share photos of your products, information about your business, and updates like sales or new lines. Include links to your social media accounts in your website, marketing pieces, and even packaging materials. Encourage your customers to post photos of themselves wearing your jewelry that you can "like" or share on your own pages.
Instagram is a great platform for visually striking products like jewelry. Start a profile for your business and create posts featuring your most photogenic jewelry. Follow accounts for similar businesses and use hashtags like #jewelry or #instajewelry to attract new eyes. If you have the budget, try reaching your audience through Instagram ads.[28]
Facebook is great for staying in touch with customers, posting product photos, and sharing news about your business, like sales or special deals. Encourage your friends, family, and repeat customers to share your posts with their own networks in order to reach new audiences.[29]
It is never easy to cope with a dysfunctional family. Family dysfunction can drain your emotional and physical energy. Family get-togethers may be very difficult and managing conflict may feel impossible. To cope, learn to set boundaries and avoid subjects that cause disagreement. Limit contact with family members that cause problems and learn to put yourself first. Remember, your emotional needs and well-being should be valued. When coping with a dysfunctional family, know and stand up for your own rights.
Keep your expectations realistic. Dysfunctional families may be resistant to change. When going into a family situation, work on keeping your expectations in check. If you accept that some conflict and difficulty is inevitable, you may be less frustrated by disagreement.[1]
Know your most difficult family members. Limit the amount of time you spend with these people. If your mother, for instance, tends to be the cause of drama, keep your distance.
Do not expect a dramatic change. Breaking free of a cycle of dysfunction is difficult. If it does happen, it will take time. Go into the event knowing it will likely be difficult. At the same time, do be open to the possibility that it might be okay. Don't foreshadow events by deciding that they will be terrible. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Take someone with you to family events. Having a buffer can help you cope. Ask a friend or romantic partner to accompany you to support you emotionally during family functions.[2]
Your family may be on better behavior in the presence of an outsider. Is there anyone you could invite? Maybe a friend of yours does not have Christmas plans. See if they want to join your family's festivities.
Give your buffer a fair warning, however. Let them know your family can be difficult at times.
Limit alcohol. Alcohol tends to fuel emotion. If your family is difficult by nature, too much alcohol could lead to an increase in conflict.[3]
There may be problem drinkers in your family. If this is the case, it's a good idea to call family members and request an alcohol-free get together.
Try to provide other beverages, like sparkling cider, instead of alcohol.
Some family members may be uninterested in attending an event without alcohol. These people will likely not show up, or leave early. Limiting alcohol can be a great way to keep the more difficult family members away.
Steer the conversation away from conflict. If your family fights, you can take it upon yourself to limit argument. It's frustrating when it's up to you to make sure people get along, but sometimes it's inevitable. Listen to various conversations and work on changing the topic when necessary.[4]
By now, you likely know the topics that trigger drama in your family. For instance, maybe your Uncle John is chronically unemployed due to his drinking. He tends to become very sensitive when the topic is raised.
When you hear the problem topic arising, act fast. For example, maybe your dad says something like, "John, have you applied to any jobs lately? It's been, what, 6 months?"
Jump in right away and steer the conversation out of the danger zone. You can try to play a game, like 20 questions, or simply change the subject. For example, "Dad, actually, Sarah just applied to a job at a bookstore. She's really excited about it."
It can be helpful to go into the event with a list of "safe" topics that you think everyone will enjoy. Maybe jot these down in your phone in case you panic and forget.
Have an escape route. At times, it's appropriate to walk away. If someone is getting hostile or difficult, know an excuse you can use to dodge an interaction.[5]
Think of various ways to slip out for a minute. You could, for example, offer to help out in the kitchen or run to the store to get something.
If you want to leave early, think of an excuse. You could say you're watching a friend's pet and need to check in on it, for example. It can be helpful to lay the groundwork for this early. Say on the front end that you can only stay until whatever determined time, and that way people are not offended when you leave.
Let go of some conflicts. You do not have control over other people's lives and decisions. Even if you want a family member to change, you cannot do it for them. Try to avoid becoming emotionally invested in long-standing conflicts over which you have little power.[6]
For instance, maybe your mother is always very critical of you and your siblings. As a result, none of you have much contact with her. At family events, she continues to be critical and push people away.
You may wish your mother was different. You may want a better relationship with her; however, keep in mind it's her responsibility to change. If she continues to be resistant to altering her behavior, there is little you can do for her. Try your best to emotionally disengage.
Also remember that family events may just not be the right time to address these conflicts. Know that you can revisit these issues at a later time if you feel it's important. That way, holidays are not ruined by fighting.
Recognize your own emotional needs. You have a right to feel respected and safe in your relationships. No one should violate this right. The first step to asserting yourself is identifying what you need.[7]
Everyone deserves respect, and that includes you. You have a right to be around people who bring you up rather than down. In a dysfunctional family, your thoughts may be skewed. You may question whether you deserve respect. Remind yourself you do.
Think about what behaviors are and are not acceptable. For example, maybe your father continually criticizing your career choice is not acceptable to you. You're proud of what you do, regardless of what your father thinks. It's well within your rights to assert as much.
Be firm about boundaries. In the moment, let someone know when they've crossed a line. You do not have to be aggressive or mean. You can be respectful while simultaneously making it clear where the line is.[8]
For example, shopping with your mother is always a headache. She's very critical of your appearance and tends to scrutinize the clothing you like. However, she continues to push you to go shopping with her.
Your mother has asked you repeatedly to go shopping this weekend. After the third or fourth time she asks, state your boundaries clearly. Say something like, "Mom, I love the time we spend together, but I think we stress each other out when we go shopping together. If you want to get lunch or see a movie some time, great, but I'm not interested in going shopping with you anymore."
After establishing your boundaries, it can be helpful to change the subject. This signals to the other party that the boundaries are not up for debate and also suggests that you are not angry with them. Ask about a mutual friend or if they've seen any good movies recently.
Use "I"-statements when you assert yourself. "I"-statements are statements phrased in a way to reduce blame. Instead of placing an objective judgment on a situation, you emphasize your personal feelings. They have 3 parts. They begin with "I feel..." after which you immediately state your feelings. From there, you explain the behavior that led to that feeling. Lastly, you say why you felt the way you did.[9]
For example, you're frustrated that your father has again insulted your girlfriend in front of you. You may be inclined to say something like, "It's incredibly rude to make comments on Noel's weight. That's completely disrespectful to me and to her."
This can be rephrased using an "I"-statement. Say something like, "I feel disrespected when you make comments on Noel's weight because that's an issue she's very sensitive to and I've explained this to you before."
Lead by example. Show genuine compassion and concern for your family. Check in with them regularly and invest in them as people. Do not let their bad behavior dictate your treatment of them — the 2 should exist separately from each other.
For instance, don't respond to a rude family member by being rude in return or by just writing them off. Try to respond to them with compassion and understanding. Going tit-for-tat isn't going to improve the situation.
Walk away when necessary. Despite your best efforts to assert your needs, some people are just very difficult. If your family is not responding to your attempts to assert yourself, it's okay to leave some situations.[10]
For example, your father is relentless when you tell him to stop disrespecting your girlfriend. Instead of apologizing, he responds, "You're being hypersensitive. I just care about her health." You can tell, from his tone, he's getting hostile.
It may not be worth it to push the issue at this point. Your father is getting angry. Even as you try to respectfully address the situation, he's trying to force an argument.
At this point, just walk away. Say something like, "This isn't getting us anywhere. I'm going to go for a walk, okay?" Then, give yourself some time to cool down.
See a therapist. It's very hard to deal with the emotional toll of a dysfunctional family alone. A qualified therapist can help you deal with the damage done by familial dysfunction. Seek out a therapist in your area to work out your issues.[11]
You can ask your regular doctor for a referral to a therapist. You can also ask your insurance provider to help you find a therapist in your area.
If you are a student, you may be entitled to free counseling from your college or university.
Allow yourself to feel angry. Many people feel they must forgive or let go of bad behavior. If your family has been unfair to you, it's okay to feel anger. It's actually healthy to allow yourself to experience anger when you've been disrespected or mistreated.[12]
Forgiveness can be the last step in recovery. However, it is rarely healthy to forgive first. You need to put the blame on those causing the problems. Do not expect yourself to fix problems via forgiveness.
Find productive ways to vent anger. Talk to close friends or go to support groups. You can also write a letter to difficult family members and then burn it.
Work on expressing your emotions. If you come from a dysfunctional family, you may have difficulty expressing your emotions. Work on ways to express yourself in a healthy and productive fashion. If you're seeing a therapist, it may be valuable to talk this over with them.[13]
Stop to identify your emotions several times a day. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, you may have learned to repress or ignore your emotions. Try to take time to notice what you are feeling. Also, what caused the feeling? What are you responding to? You can try keeping a journal in which you record your daily feelings.
You can cope with your emotions by sharing them with others. Work on finding people who are supportive. You should only share your emotions with people who respond with kindness and affirmation.
Learn to trust others. This can be one of the hardest parts of coping with a dysfunctional family. It may be difficult to trust if you come from a difficult home life. Start by taking small risks, and then build from there.[14]
Practice seeking out the support of healthy people. Get to know people who are kind and positive. Building a "family" of quality friends is extremely important in maintaining self-esteem and helping someone cope with family dysfunction.
You may have difficulty telling others how you're feeling. Work on getting over this hurdle. Start by occasionally expressing small needs and wants to those around you. You can begin expressing greater needs and wants over time.
Take good care of yourself. You may neglect your own self-care if you come from a dysfunctional home. If you spent a lot of time coping with conflict, you may put your own health and well-being aside. Work on practicing basic self-care. This alone can help you better regulate your emotions.[15]
You need to do things for yourself. Make sure you eat healthy meals, get exercise, and take care of basic hygiene.
You should also treat yourself on occasion. If you need to take a day off, take one. Indulge in small pleasures, like going to see a movie, having coffee with a friend, or ordering takeout after a long day.
Be aware that others may be "dumping" their negative feelings on you. If someone is feeling helpless or powerless, they may criticize you in order to feel stronger. Do not take this personally.
