North Korea: Biden mad dog must be beaten with sticks to death

 

 

 

2019-11-15 11:26

 

 

North Korea has launched a rare rhetorical attack on former US vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, calling it a "mad dog" that must be beaten with sticks "to death." North Korea is fiercely critical of personalities, but its attack on Biden is surprising in character. In a telegram to North Korea's official KCNA news agency, Biden "dared recklessly to prejudice the dignity of the top leadership" of North Korea. "Rabid dogs like Biden can hurt many if left free," the agency said, adding that "they must be beaten with sticks to death." "Doing so would be beneficial to the United States as well," she said.

 It is not known why Pyongyang launched these insults. But it may be that the Biden campaign team published a video advertisement criticizing US President Donald Trump's foreign policy, which they saw as "praising despots and tyrants and excluding our allies." In conjunction with the appearance of the word "despots". The agency apparently adopted an adjective Trump called Biden a "sleeping atmosphere," noting that Americans call him "Biden, who has not yet woken up." Biden embodies "the last stage of dementia ... and it seems it's time for his life to stop," she said.

This is not the first time the North Korean news agency has attacked the former US vice president, whom she described in May as a "stupid" and "low-IQ fool." Biden earlier criticized Trump's dealings with Russia and North Korea, and accused the US president of kissing "tyrants like Putin and Kim Jong-un."

Foreign labor

 

Friday, November 15, 2019

 

Thamer Alhims

 

 

On 21 October 2019, the Parliamentary Finance Committee submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to impose residency fees on foreign workers in Iraq, calling for imposing residency fees ($ 100 per month) on foreign workers to be placed in the Unemployed Employment Fund. The presence of 450 thousand foreign workers, including 83 thousand working in the oil sector and some of them receive salaries equivalent to the salaries of three graduates.

The paradox is that we have unemployment that extends from unskilled labor to holders of master's and doctoral degrees supported by the graduates of graduates and non-graduates.

Perhaps the reason lies in the low salaries and being outside the social security and health and are not affiliated to a union, in addition to that the foreign worker is free of religious and clan obligations that affect leave, absenteeism and sickness because he has contract obligations.

Most foreign workers outside the oil circle are unskilled workers, most of whom reside in the workplace, and those who are in the service professions (cleanliness) depend on what is in the hands of customers, and they do not have a promotion table or bonus or other reward service because their work is not subject to the labor law The total Iraqi.

An unskilled Iraqi worker is costly to employers because he simply needs social security with deductions from his employer, although the employer can include salary withholding of pension and health insurance under the contract, as well as legal and tribal protection and frequent holidays and events.

So far, most local laboratories and companies claim that their currency is seasonal or temporary, with some labor inspectors lenient.

The contract that includes rights, duties, health insurance and respected retirement remains a cornerstone, and the rest of the pretexts will decline over time and consolidate the relationship between the worker and the employer, which we now lack. Scientifically, inputs and outputs guarantee the rights of related parties, but does not mean that agriculture and services are not.

We must not forget that the external transfer of foreign labor is costly on the macroeconomic, especially since we paid it, that is, external transfer, exorbitant in the Iraq-Iran war, and we pay it now more as embodied by the excessive import that the size of the real economy with its wings of agriculture and industry. There is a real need, whether in oil or the service sector, because unemployment in the graduates of the oil or service sector belies the narrative and justifications.''

IBBC hosts largest ever delegation of Iraqi business people at London Business Forum

 

In a wide-ranging business event over 230 Iraqi business-people and 70 British gathered to meet and discuss Business relations, trade, investment and engagement with the UK’s Business community.

 

Delegates from all regions of Iraq through the chambers of commerce gathered to hear from representatives of trade associations, IBBC members, chambers of commerce and investors.

 

Baroness Nicholson, President of IBBC, welcomed the new Iraqi Ambassador, H.E. Mr Mohammad Jaafar Al- Sadr, who gave a keynote address at the conference. The Ambassador speech was followed by an address of H.E Mr Karwan Jamal, High Representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

 

Of note were the panel from Iraqi business people, headed by Dr Dara Jalel Al-Khayat, Chairman of Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Kurdistan, and representatives from Babil, Baghdad and Basra Chambers, as well as the chair of the Importers and exporters association in Kurdistan.

 

From the British side, a panel consisting of Rod Dowler of the Industry Forum, Alan Rides MD of Hounslow Chamber of Commerce, Brigadier James Ellery of Turnkey LLC and Mr Peter Hunt of HWH Associates and Raed Hanna, MD of MFL Finance, all spoke positively of their experiences in Iraq, but tempered with advice on improvements to the Iraqi experience. Finally, Jessica Hao of Crossboundary associates spoke of opportunities to invest in start-ups and SMEs in Iraq with support of USAID.

Pompeo urges coalition countries to restore foreign IS and rebuild Iraq

 

 

 

2019-11-14 21:29

 

 

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday urged member states of the anti-IS coalition to restore foreign terrorists and boost funding to help rebuild infrastructure in Iraq and Syria badly damaged by the conflict.

"Alliance members must take back thousands of detained foreign terrorist fighters and hold them accountable for their atrocities," Pompeo said in a speech at the opening of a meeting of foreign ministers of member countries of the International Coalition Against ISIL.

ISIS has lost almost all of the territory it has seized in Syria and Iraq. Its former leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed in a US raid last month, but ISIS remains a security threat in Syria and abroad. About 10,000 ISIS and tens of thousands of family members are still being held in camps in northeastern Syria guarded by Syrian Kurdish forces allied to the United States. Washington has been pressing European countries to reclaim its citizens, but has so far failed to do so.

Pompeo also asked coalition members to close the funding gap for restoring basic services and rebuilding vital infrastructure in Iraq to facilitate the return of millions of displaced people. He said similar aid would also be needed in northeastern Syria. He said there was growing concern about the ISIS threat outside Iraq and Syria, adding that the coalition should focus on West Africa and the African coast.

Iran's Supreme Economic Council confirms implementation of gasoline price hikes

 

 

16th November, 2019

After the meeting, Iran's Supreme Economic Council confirmed the implementation of the decision to raise gasoline prices.

Iranian protests against fuel price hikes escalated on a second day on Saturday, to the point of burning a branch of the National Bank, coinciding with demands to topple the supreme leader and reject Tehran's interference in the affairs of Arab states.

In Behbehan, southwestern Iran, protesters set fire to the National Bank, while demonstrators in the central city of Karaj demanded the downfall of the supreme leader's regime on Khamenei.

Demonstrators in several Iranian cities chanted slogans rejecting the interference of their country in the affairs of Arab countries, and demanded to improve their living conditions, according to sources in the Iranian opposition. The sources said on Saturday that the Iranian authorities cut the Internet service to the regions of Ahvaz southwest of Iran, after the protests against the Iranian regime. Protesters in Tehran blocked some of the capital's streets, protesting against a three-fold increase in fuel prices.

Iranian opposition sources said that security forces resorted to force during the dispersal of demonstrators in Bushehr in the south of the country, while protesters in Tehran denounced spending the proceeds of the country on the Basij forces. Iranian media reported that Tehran and several other cities witnessed mass demonstrations on Saturday, the second day of protests.

The official IRNA news agency said on Saturday that the city of Sirjan, central Iran, witnessed "large" demonstrations, noting that people attacked "a fuel depot in the city and tried to burn it," according to Agence France-Presse. This comes less than 24 hours after mass demonstrations in Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan and Tabriz, in protest against the Iranian authorities raise fuel prices, and in response to statements by President Hassan Rouhani, who defended the decision. Activists reported on Friday evening that one person was killed during clashes with Iranian security forces in the city of Sirjan, which began shooting indiscriminately at the protesters, while the authorities launched a campaign of mass arrests of dozens.
