The IMF Executive Board approves three billion dollar for Pakistan

The International Monetary Fund has approved a much-awaited $3 billion bailout for Pakistan that likely will save the nation from defaulting on its debt repayments

ISLAMABAD (AP)- The International Monetary Fund approved a much-awaited $3 billion bailout for Pakistan on Wednesday, the global lender said, a move that’s likely to save the nation from defaulting on its debt repayments.

The IMF said its executive board approved an agreement to release the funds over nine months to support Pakistan’s economic stabilization program.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after Pakistan and the IMF agreed to the plan following meetings with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and other officials.

“The arrangement comes at a challenging economic juncture for Pakistan. A difficult external environment, devastating floods, and policy missteps have led to large fiscal and external deficits, rising inflation, and eroded reserve buffers” in the fiscal year 2023, the IMF said in a statement.

Later, IMF head Kristalina Georgieva said in a statement that “Pakistan’s economy was hit hard by significant shocks last year, notably the spillovers from the severe impacts of floods, the large volatility in commodity prices, and the tightening of external and domestic financing conditions.”

She said the $3-billion bailout, if “implemented faithfully” by Pakistan, will give it an opportunity to regain macroeconomic stability and address imbalances through consistent policy implementation.

Sharif quickly welcomed the IMF decision, saying it was a major step forward in the government’s efforts to stabilize the economy.

“It bolsters Pakistan’s economic position to overcome immediate to medium-term economic challenges, giving the next government the fiscal space to chart the way forward,” he said in a tweet. “This milestone, which was achieved against the heaviest of odds & against seemingly impossible deadline, could not have been possible without excellent team effort.”

The bailout had been on hold since December when the IMF refused to release a critical $1.1 billion part of the loan because of the country’s lack of compliance with a 2019 agreement signed between the IMF and former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

A breakthrough was announced recently after Sharif met with IMF head Georgieva in Paris at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to discuss the revival of the $6-billion bailout package amid shrinking foreign exchange reserves and increasing inflation, which resulted in higher food costs.

Sharif has been trying to overcome the economic crisis since he came into power after Khan was ousted in a no-confidence vote in parliament in April 2022. Pakistan’s economy witnessed a major shock last summer when devastating floods killed 1,739 people, destroyed 2 million homes and caused $30 billion in damage.

“Things are now moving in the right direction,” said Dar, the finance minister Wednesday.

According to analysts, Pakistan needs at least $20 billion in the next two years to pay back foreign loans with interest. However, earlier this year, foreign exchange reserves fell to less than $4 billion. This money was only enough for the import bill of four weeks, although Pakistan banned some of the imports to save dollars.

The approval for the IMF loan came a day after Saudi Arabia deposited $2 billion into Pakistan’s central bank. On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates also deposited $1 billion to the central bank of Pakistan, according to the finance minister, Dar, who said the country’s economy was now back on the path of growth.

According to analysts, the approval of the IMF bailout will help Pakistan because it could encourage other international financial institutions to help Islamabad overcome economic challenges. Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have provided financial assistance in the past five months to avoid a default on debt payments.

Dar said Pakistan’s economy will be in a much better position when the government of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League party completes its tenure next month. The next parliamentary elections are expected to take place in October or November, Sharif said in his televised speech earlier in the day, saying he hopes Pakistan will avoid any further loans from the IMF by generating funds domestically.

Record monsoon rains have killed more than 100 people in northern India over a weeks, Yamuna above the danger mark in Delhi

NEW DELHI (AP) — Schools and colleges were closed after record monsoon rains led to massive waterlogging, road caves-in, collapsed homes and gridlocked traffic in large parts of northern India, killing more than 100 people over two weeks, officials said Thursday.

At least 88 people died, 42 of them in the past five days, and more than 100 were injured in the worst hit-mountainous Himachal Pradesh state where cars, buses, bridges and houses were swept away by swirling flood waters, a state government statement said. The region is nearly 500 kilometers (310 miles) north of New Delhi.

Yamuna Level Recedes Slightly After Flooding Homes, Roads In Capital of India

Twelve people have died of rain-related incidents since Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh state, said Shishir Singh, a state government spokesman.

Nine of them drowned, two died after being struck by lightning and one was killed by a snake bite, Singh said.

One person died in New Delhi and four were killed in the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir, officials said.

Authorities used helicopters to rescue nearly 300 people, mostly tourists, who were stranded in the Chandertal area in Himachal Pradesh state since Saturday. They included seven sick people who were airlifted on Tuesday, the government said.

Nearly 170 houses have collapsed and another 600 were partially damaged by heavy rains and landslides in the state, the state emergency operation center said.

In New Delhi, residential areas close to the Jamuna River were flooded, submerging roads, cars and homes, leading to the evacuation of thousands of people from low-lying areas.

Dozens of cars were blocked by sheets of water, throwing the movement of vehicles into disarray during the morning rush hour in New Delhi on Thursday.

The water level of the Jamuna River flowing through the Indian capital topped a 40-year record and reached 207.71 meters (681.5 feet) on Wednesday evening, according to a statement by the office of New Delhi’s top elected official, Arvind Kejriwal.

Authorities have moved nearly 30,000 people to relief camps and also converted some schools into relief camps in the badly hit areas, the statement said. Hundreds of people with their livestock also have taken shelter under overhead road bridges in the eastern parts of the Indian capital.

Rajesh Singh, a factory owner, was stuck with his motorbike for hours with floodwater blocking both sides of the road near the river bank. “I have never seen anything like this in the past 22 years.”

“New Delhi hasn’t seen a lot of rain in the past two days, but the river level has risen due to abnormally high levels of water discharge from Hathni Kund barrage in neighboring Haryana state,” Kejriwal said.

India’s weather agency has forecast more heavy rains in northern parts in the coming days. It said monsoon rains across the country have already brought about 2% more rainfall than normal.

India regularly witnesses severe floods during the monsoon season, which runs between June and September and brings most of South Asia’s annual rainfall. The rains are crucial for rain-fed crops planted during the season but often cause extensive damage.

Scientists say monsoons are becoming more erratic because of climate change and global warming, leading to frequent landslides and flash floods in India’s Himalayan north.

Here are the 2023 Emmy Award nominations list

Here are the 2023 Emmy Award nominations list :

(UT)- The 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were revealed Wednesday morning, with HBO dominating the list with anticipated nods going to Succession, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us and The White Lotus.

Succession, the HBO drama headlined by Brian Cox, earned a leading 27 nominations overall including an expected Best Drama nomination, plus multiple nods in the actor/actress categories. In the actor categories, perhaps the question should be who didn’t get a nomination from the show: all the male faves got some Emmy love including Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin as well as Matthew Macfadyen, Alexander Skarsgård, Alan Ruck and the beloved Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun). For the women, Sarah Snook got a nomination as did J. Smith-Cameron.

In the main Drama Series race, Succession will go up against fellow HBO hits that include House of the Dragon, The Last of Us and The White Lotus in addition to Andor, The Crown and Yellowjackets.

On the comedy side, the lineup was not entirely surprising: Ted Lasso, Barry, Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are back in the running, but Academy voters left room for three new players in Wednesday, The Bear and Jury Duty.

As for comedy actors, the usual suspects populated the male lineup — Bill Hader, Martin Short and Jason Sudeikis — but newbies Jason Segal and Jeremy Allen White were invited to the party. For the women, Christina Applegate got some attention for Dead to Me, while Natasha Lyonne and Jenna Ortega are the welcome plebes of the lot, competing against now Emmy veterans Quinta Brunson and Rachel Brosnahan.

The Limited Series category has once again shaped up to be a competitive situation: Beef will compete against fellow Netflix hit Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, while Daisy Jones & The Six will vie for the prize alongside Fleishman Is in Trouble and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Here’s How To Watch ‘Mission Impossible 7 – Dead Reckoning Part One’ (2023) Free Online Streaming At Home

DT BEATS (DH)- Paramount Pictures! Here are options for downloading or watching Mission: Impossible 7 – Dead Reckoning Part One streaming the full movie online for free on 123movies & Reddit, including where to watch the seventh installment of Mission Impossible movie at home. Is Mission Impossible 7 available to stream? Is watching Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One on Peacock, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Netflix or Amazon Prime? Yes, we have found an authentic streaming option/service.

Watch Now: Mission Impossible 7 Online

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be available in select theaters beginning July 10, with a wider release following on July 12. If you’re wondering how and where you can watch it yourself this weekend, take a look at the info below.

A year after Tom Cruise dominated the box office with Top Gun: Maverick, the action-film legend is back for another summer blockbuster. According to IGN’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One review, Tom Cruise’s anti-algorithm crusade takes hilariously literal form, in a fun, intense, and self-reflexive action saga that works despite itself.

After nearly thirty years, it’s hard to believe that not only is the Mission: Impossible film series still going, but it’s actually somehow becoming better and better with each new installment! Since 1996, it’s safe to say that the series has evolved into one of the most ambitious big-screen blockbusters we have today. Thanks to impressive action set pieces and stunt work, riveting narratives, and an all-star cast, we simply can’t get enough! Luckily for all of us, the series’ seventh entry, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, is just around the corner.

This new film will once again follow Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) as he and his team race against the clock to locate a horrifying new weapon that threatens the entire globe. At the same time, Ethan’s dangerous past is finally catching up with him. This leads to greater complications as he and the team must contend with a mysterious enemy who shows no mercy. Though this sounds a bit vague, it’s undoubtedly all for a good reason! If past entries have taught us anything, it’s that there will likely be lots of unexpected twists and turns.

It’s worth noting that it was initially assumed that this film, together with its second part arriving in 2024, would serve as a send-off to Ethan Hunt and presumably wrap up the franchise. This has helped build up much anticipation and hype for both installments. However, director Christopher McQuarrie has recently confirmed that this is not the case, leaving audiences unclear on the significance of this two-part story and the franchise’s direction moving forward. As much as we want him to, Tom Cruise can’t be a daredevil stunt performer forever! So, it will be very interesting to see how both films play out and if they set up a potential ninth installment.

Five years after the most recent Mission: Impossible movie comes the seventh installment in the beloved action franchise, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new flick!

Tom Cruise is back as notorious IMF agent Ethan Hunt, who’s about to embark on his most dangerous mission yet. The movie follows him as he tries to track down a fatal new weapon, which could threaten humanity if the wrong person gets ahold of it.

So, where can you watch and stream Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One? Where can you watch Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One? Is it on Netflix? What about Max? Here’s everything we know about how to watch Mission: Impossible 7 online:

When is the Release Date for Mission Impossible 7?

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be available in select theaters beginning July 10, with a wider release following on July 12.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One should eventually be released on Paramount Plus rather than Netflix, (HBO) Max, or Disney+. However, M:I 7 distributor Paramount has yet to announce a streaming release date.

The movie was originally scheduled to premiere on July 23, 2021. Subsequent delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the date, first to November 19, then May 27, 2022, then to September 30, 2022, then July 14, and finally to its current date. With any luck, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 won’t be hit with any more delays or changes.

Where To Watch Mission Impossible 7 Online:

As of now, the only way to watch Mission Impossible 7 is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Wednesday, June 12. You can find a local showing on Fandango.

Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to purchase or rent on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, Amazon and YouTube, or become available to stream on Paramount+.

Is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Streaming Online?

Not at the moment, no. Predicting when a film will become available online, whether that’s through digital stores or a certain streaming service, is often quite difficult. The date often relies on a variety of different factors such as the film’s production studio, distributors, box office performance, and more. If we look at Cruise’s last film, Top Gun: Maverick, it proved to be an unusual outlier last year when it came to its streaming debut. Whereas other films were released online as little as 45 days after their cinema debut, audiences waited nearly three months for Top Gun: Maverick to arrive in digital stores. Additionally, nearly seven months passed before its arrival on Paramount+. So, all in all, it’s very unpredictable. While we can’t share a confirmed date yet for when Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be available to stream, keep an eye on this space for updates.

Is Mission: Impossible 7 available to stream?

As mentioned above, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is not available to stream at the moment and Paramount hasn’t confirmed a digital release date for the new movie.

However, we can look to other Paramount releases in 2023 to get an idea of Mission: Impossible 7’s streaming debut.

There were eight weeks between Scream VI’s cinema release and its digital release, so a similar timeline for the new Mission: Impossible movie puts its streaming debut in late August or early September in the UK.

In the US, Scream VI was available to stream six weeks after its theatrical release, so Mission: Impossible 7 could be released digitally around mid-August in the US if it follows a similar timeline.

Nothing has been confirmed yet though and it’s possible that if the new movie is a hit at the box office, it might receive a longer exclusive theatrical run.

When Will Mission Impossible 7 Be Available on Streaming?

Mission Impossible 7 will eventually be available to stream, most likely on Paramount+. But for now, the film is out exclusively in theaters.

The film will also be available to stream on Paramount+ sometime after the film’s theatrical debut. Unlike some of Paramount’s biggest 2022 releases such as Smile, The Lost City, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Tom Cruise’s last film, Top Gun: Maverick waited 209 days after its theatrical release before it finally premiered on Paramount+, and the seventh Mission: Impossible film will likely be no different, so the new film likely won’t be on Paramount+ until early 2024.

Is Mission: Impossible 7 on HBO Max?

No, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One will not be on Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The platform — previously known as HBO Max — also no longer does direct-to-streaming releases. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the Max release.

Will Mission Impossible 7 Be On Netflix?

Sadly for Netflix users, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1” won’t be on Netflix, at least not immediately. The film is made by Paramount Pictures, and their films typically debut on their own streaming platform, Paramount+.

Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One will not be on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will go to Paramount+ after its theatrical run.

Will Mission Impossible 7 Be On Amazon Prime Video?

Yes, Mission Impossible 7 will be available to rent or purchase on Prime Video. If the movie follows the same pattern as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, it should come to the platform about two weeks before it releases on Paramount+ — meaning it may be available around mid-August 2023.

In the past, films like “Top Gun” and “Scream,” also from Paramount Pictures, landed first on Paramount+. There’s a chance it could later be available on Prime Video, but it’s not certain because not all Paramount movies have done so. However, you can access Paramount+ through Amazon Channels.

As for the future, it’s possible that the film might appear on other streaming platforms, but this could take years. In the meantime, “Mission: Impossible 7” will be available for digital purchase or rental on platforms like Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, and Google Play.

Is Mission Impossible 7 Available On Hulu?

Viewers are saying that they want to view the new action movie Mission Impossible 7 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.

When Is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Coming Out on DVD and Blu-ray?

Though Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will certainly be released on physical media in the near future, like streaming, it is too early to determine a release date just yet. In general, movies usually take roughly two to three months from the date of the premiere to arrive in physical formats. Keep an eye on this space for updates on when DVD and Blu-ray versions will be available in stores.

What Is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One About?

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh movie in the Tom Cruise-led action series. Here’s the official plot synopsis from Paramount:

In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Nothing Phone 2 First Impressions: Price and full details here

Nothing Phone 2 First Impressions: Price and full details here

New Delhi (G360)- The Nothing Phone 2 is officially here, and after weeks of teasers we finally get to see if all the hype was worth it or not. The Nothing Phone 1 was (and still is) a solid first attempt from a new company and it got many things right, including the price, which means that the Phone 2 has some big shoes to fill. While our review is in progress, here are our initial impressions of the phone.

Price and full details here 

The Nothing Phone 2 ships in a slim package much like the Phone 1, but you now get a proper box which slides out from inside the outer printed jacket. Here, you’ll find some documentation, the transparent SIM eject tool, and a flashy new USB Type-C cable with a transparent section near the connector. The Phone 2 comes in a new Dark Grey colour instead of black, but there’s still a white variant.

READ MORE : ideaForge IPO: GMP, subscription status and what experts suggest on the issue

Nothing has launched the Phone 2 in three configurations. The base variant is priced at Rs. 44,999 in India and has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. For Rs. 49,999, you get 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s a new third variant this time with 512GB of storage (and 12GB of RAM) which is priced at Rs. 54,999 in India. Prices are of course higher compared to the Phone 1’s launch pricing, but the Phone 2 does have notable upgrades to try and justify that.

It’s clear that design plays a pretty big role for Nothing; moreso than specs. The Phone 2 evolves that original semi-transparent design in subtle ways. From afar, it’s tough to tell the two models apart but you’ll notice the changes once you hold them both. The Nothing Phone 2 is a larger smartphone than Phone 1 – noticeably taller and a bit wider, heavier, and thicker. It still feels excellent in the hand, and Nothing says the mid-frame is made of 100 percent recycled aluminium.

The new taller display on the Nothing Phone 2 is an LTPO OLED panel.

The antenna bands and one of the microphones are positioned a bit differently on the new Phone 2, but the buttons and ports are in the same places as on the Phone1. The glass back panel of Phone 2 has curved edges making it nicer to hold, and the Glyph lights now have more segments, thereby allowing for more varied lighting patterns and displays of information.

The display on the Nothing Phone 2 is still flat but now has a centred hole-punch camera. It measures 6.7 inches and the company has used an updated LTPO OLED panel so the refresh rate can vary from 1Hz from 120Hz, if needed. Peak brightness gets a boost to up to 1,600 nits, while the Phone 2’s water resistance rating has been improved slightly to IP54, versus IP53.

The Nothing Phone 2’s hardware has received some upgrades too. As opposed to the mid-range chip in the Phone 1, Nothing has gone with the more premium Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC from Qualcomm. It’s not the latest or greatest, but it’s tried and tested, and I think it should do just fine for its segment. The battery has gotten a slight bump in capacity to 4,700mAh, and the Phone 2 now supports 45W PD fast charging. There’s also still 15W wireless charging along with 5W reverse wireless charging.

The Nothing Phone 2 still has two rear cameras, but the main one has been upgraded to a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor; the same one we’ve seen in many recent phones such as the OnePlus 11R, OnePlus Nord 3, and more. The ultra-wide camera uses the same 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 sensor as the Phone 1, but it does have autofocus for macro photos. The selfie camera on the Phone 2 has been upgraded to a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 sensor. We are in the process of testing the cameras so do check the full review for our final thoughts, when it’s out.

The Nothing Phone 2 has a larger battery and can be charged quicker.

Finally, we come to software. The Nothing Phone 2 runs Nothing OS 2.0, which is based on Android 13. The Phone 2 should receive three years of Android upgrades and four years of security patches, as per the company. Nothing OS 2 introduces some new widgets, a monochrome icon pack, and many subtle tweaks to the interface.

The Glyph lighting system has gotten new customisation options. It now supports auto-brightness and you can tag certain apps or types of notifications from a particular app as ‘essential’, which means one light strip on the back will stay lit till you dismiss or view that notification. There are new ringtones and notification sound packs, and you can even now use the Glyph lights to keep track of a timer or check the progress of an activity in some third-party apps such as Uber. Finally, the new Glyph composer allows you to create your own ringtones and alert sounds.

Iraq’s $27B deal with TotalEnergies could ease its longstanding energy crisis, but challenges remain

Iraq’s $27B deal with TotalEnergies could ease its longstanding energy crisis, but challenges remain

Iraq’s $27B deal with TotalEnergies could ease its longstanding energy crisis, but challenges remain

BAGHDAD (AP) — A multi-billion dollar agreement signed with France’s Total Energies could help resolve Iraq’s longstanding electricity crisis, attract international investors and reduce its reliance on gas imports from neighboring Iran, a point of tension with Washington.

The $27 billion agreement signed in Baghdad on Monday after years of negotiation marks the largest foreign investment in Iraq’s history. It could even help combat climate change by reducing oil flares, and relieve some of the stress on Iraq’s dwindling waterways through a new desalination plant.

But that’s only if the parties implementing the agreement can overcome the endemic corruption and political instability that has undermined Iraq’s oil sector for more than two decades.

The Gas Growth Integrated Project focuses on bolstering the country’s oil-rich but underdeveloped Basra province. TotalEnergies would take on a 45% stake in the Basra Oil Company, with Iraq holding 30% and Qatar’s state-owned petroleum company taking the other 25%.

It would recover natural gas from three oil fields and use it to generate electricity. Because Iraq lacks the necessary infrastructure, that gas is currently being burned off into the atmosphere. The World Bank estimates Iraq flares around 16 billion cubic meters of gas per day.

The project also includes the construction of a seawater treatment plant that would relieve the pressure on Iraq’s water resources, and a solar power plant to be built with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power that would supply the local grid.

Iraq is an OPEC member with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. But its electricity grid has suffered from decades of mismanagement and damage from various conflicts. Power outages are common, especially in the scorching summer months, forcing many Iraqis to rely on diesel generators or suffer through temperatures that exceed 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

Iraq is an OPEC member with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. But its electricity grid has suffered from decades of mismanagement and damage from various conflicts. Power outages are common, especially in the scorching summer months, forcing many Iraqis to rely on diesel generators or suffer through temperatures that exceed 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

Iraq also relies heavily on gas imports from Iran, with which it has had close ties since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. The U.S. has been forced to grant some exceptions to the sanctions it maintains on Iran over that country’s disputed nuclear program. Budgetary shortfalls and surging demand have meanwhile forced Iran to reduce the supply in recent years, compounding Iraq’s woes and fueling violent protests.

Iraq’s energy problems stem from its troubled politics.

The power-sharing arrangement set up in the wake of the U.S.-led invasion divides the state and its institutions along religious and ethnic lines. Sectarian-based political parties bicker over ministries, install loyalists at top positions and dispense public sector jobs to their supporters. The system breeds widespread corruption, inefficiency and political gridlock.

ExxonMobile, which saw a similar multi-project deal fall through after years of negotiations, announced in 2021 that it would be selling its shares from the West Qurna 1 oil field. London-based BP is spinning off development of the Rumaila field, Iraq’s largest.

Iraq signed an initial contract with TotalEnergies in 2021, but political disputes delayed the final signing for another two years.

TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné nevertheless struck an upbeat tone at the signing ceremony, saying the agreement would boost Iraq’s economy and create jobs, with Iraqis making up at least 80% of the project’s workforce.

“It’s a very strong signal, not only to TotalEnergies to encourage to invest, but also to all other foreign investment,” he said in a statement. The company did not respond to several requests for additional comment.

The state-run Iraqi News Agency said work would begin “in a matter of days,” with the Oil Ministry expecting tangible results in three years.

Oil Ministry spokesman Assim Jihad said the ministry has been trying to launch such projects for over a decade but was held back by political gridlock, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war against the Islamic State extremist group, which at one point controlled much of northern and western Iraq.

“Now there is political will to speed up implementing these kinds of projects,” he said.

Bachar El-Halabi, an energy markets analyst at London-based Argus, says the megaproject “gives the country a breather” after recent years saw some oil majors pull out of Iraq.

“This should, in theory, help decrease Iraq’s dependency on Iranian gas imports, which remains a sticky point between Baghdad and Washington,” he said.

Marc Ayoub, an energy policy expert at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, a Washington-based think tank, said the project could face challenges down the line.

“The political climate in Iraq is sensitive and could change at any moment,” he said.

The size of the project, and the involvement of a major multi-national company, means “there would be less room for corruption,” he added. “But you never know. There’s always risk.”

Indonesia warns nuclear weapons put Southeast Asia a ‘miscalculation away’ from a catastrophe

Indonesia warns nuclear weapons put Southeast Asia a ‘miscalculation away’ from a catastrophe

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s top diplomat warned Tuesday of the threat posed by nuclear weapons, saying that Southeast Asia is “one miscalculation away from apocalypse” and pressing for world powers to sign a treaty to keep the region free from such arms.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi raised the alarm ahead of a two-day summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which started later Tuesday in Jakarta. The agenda would spotlight Myanmar’s deadly civil strife, continuing tensions in the South China Sea and efforts to fortify regional economies amid the global headwinds set off by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Later in the week, the 10-nation bloc will meet Asian and Western counterparts, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Chinese foreign policy overseer Wang Yi.

The U.S.-China rivalry is not formally on ASEAN’s agenda but looms large over the meetings of the bloc, an often-unwieldy collective of democracies, autocracies and monarchies, with some members split over allegiances either to Washington or Beijing.

“We cannot be truly safe with nuclear weapons in our region,” Marsudi told fellow ASEAN ministers. “With nuclear weapons, we are only one miscalculation away from apocalypse and global catastrophe.”

In 1995, ASEAN states signed a treaty that declared Southeast Asia’s commitment to be a nuclear weapon-free zone, one of five in the world. However, Marsudi lamented that none of the world’s leading nuclear powers have signed on to the pact and called for renewed efforts to convince those states to sign up.

“The threat is imminent, so we can no longer play a waiting game,” she said.

A draft communique expected on Wednesday mentions the possibility of a first nuclear weapons state finally signing the treaty but says that there would have to be written assurances that the treaty was being ratified “without reservations.” A copy of the draft was obtained by The Associated Press.

The communique did not identify the prospective state. However, two Southeast Asian diplomats attending the Jakarta meetings told the AP it was China. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

Meanwhile, Myanmar’s generals have again been banned from attending the ASEAN summit for refusing to ease a deadly civil strife sparked by the military’s seizure of power more than two years ago.

ASEAN has been under international pressure to address the crisis in Myanmar since the army seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021 and plunged the country into deadly chaos.

More than 3,750 civilians, including pro-democracy activists, have been killed by security forces and nearly 24,000 arrested since the military takeover, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, a rights group that keeps tallies of arrests and casualties.

Myanmar’s military government has largely ignored a plan by ASEAN heads of state that includes an immediate end to the violence, prompting the bloc to take an unprecedented step and bar Myanmar’s military leaders from its top-level gatherings, including the foreign ministerial meetings.

The generals responded by accusing the ASEAN of violating the bloc’s bedrock principles of non-intervention in each other’s domestic affairs.

“The situation in Myanmar is worrying,” Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo told reporters Tuesday.

With the Myanmar crisis dragging on, ASEAN members appear divided over how to proceed. Thailand recommends easing punitive actions aimed at isolating Myanmar’s generals and inviting its military-appointed top diplomat and officials back to high-profile meetings, the two Southeast Asian diplomats said.

Also Tuesday, Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai told reporters that his government wanted to see “all ASEAN members” back in the group, without elaborating.

Since assuming ASEAN’s rotating chairmanship this year, Indonesia has initiated some 110 meetings with groups in Myanmar and provided humanitarian aid to build trust, Marsudi said.

At the summit, ASEAN foreign ministers are expected to renew a call for self-restraint in “activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability,” according to the draft communique, repeating language used in previous statements that does not name China.

ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam have been embroiled in long-simmering territorial conflicts with China and Taiwan for decades. ASEAN and China have been negotiating a non-aggression pact that aims to prevent an escalation of the disputes, but the talks have faced years of delay.

The disputed waters have emerged as a delicate front in the rivalry between China and the United States. Washington has challenged Beijing’s expansive territorial claims and regularly deploys warships and fighter jets in what it calls freedom of navigation and overflight patrols that have infuriated China.

Tunisia moves hundreds of migrants from desolate border area

Tunisia moves hundreds of migrants from desolate border area

TUNIS,(Reuters) – Tunisia has moved hundreds of migrants to shelters in two towns, a local rights group said on Tuesday, after criticism of conditions in a desolate Sahara military area on the border with Libya, where the government transferred them last week.

Struggling with high numbers of mainly sub-Saharan African migrants seeking to leave the north African country for Europe, President Kais Saied has responded with measures local and international rights groups say are endangering lives.

“Hundreds of people who were on the Libyan border were transferred finally to shelter centres in Medenine and Tataouine towns after difficult times they spent there in the intense heat”, Ramadan Ben Omar, an official at the non-governmental Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, told Reuters.

The interior ministry did not respond to a request for comment.

The government moved the migrants to the site at the Libyan border following an outbreak of violence in the coastal city of Sfax earlier in July, rights groups said, where travellers and residents clashed.

The disturbances between migrants and residents in Sfax lasted a week and one Tunisian was killed. Residents complained of disorderly behaviour by migrants and migrants complained of racist harassment.

Thousands of undocumented migrants have flocked to Sfax in recent months with the goal of setting off for Europe in boats run by human traffickers, leading to an unprecedented migration crisis for Tunisia.

While overall irregular migration to Europe is up about 12% this year, it more than doubled in the central Mediterranean region, according to data from Europe’s border agency in May.

The sharp rise in attempted crossings from Tunisia is partly attributable to a crackdown ordered by Saied on migrants from sub-Saharan Africa living in the country illegally.

Earlier this year, Saied claimed a conspiracy to change Tunisia’s racial makeup. His statement was followed by reports of racist attacks, and by rising numbers of Black Africans resident in Tunisia seeking to leave for Europe.

Tunisia is now under pressure from Europe to stop migrants departing from its coasts. European countries are considering a package of financial support to help the economy and to deal with migration.

NATO chief says Turkey agrees to send Sweden’s NATO accession protocol to Parliament swiftly

NATO chief says Turkey agrees to send Sweden’s NATO accession protocol to Parliament swiftly

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has agreed to send Sweden’s NATO accession protocol to the Turkish Parliament “as soon as possible.”

Stoltenberg made the announcement after talks with Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on the eve of a NATO summit in Lithuania.

Sweden’s NATO accession has been held up by objections from Turkey since last year.

Stoltenberg made the announcement after talks with Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on the eve of a NATO summit in Lithuania. Sweden’s NATO accession has been held up by objections from Turkey since last year.

“This is an historic day because we have a clear commitment by Turkey to submit the ratification documents to the Grand National Assembly, and to work also with the assembly to ensure ratification,” Stoltenberg told reporters.

Earlier Monday, with NATO hoping to put on a public display of unity in its support for Ukraine more than 500 days into the war, Erdogan said that he would block Sweden’s path unless European members of the military organization “pave the way” for Turkey to join the world’s biggest trading bloc.

His surprise announcement added new uncertainty to Sweden’s bid to become the alliance’s 32nd member. Turkey was already blocking its entry because Erdogan believes that Sweden has been too soft on Kurdish militants and other groups that he considers to be security threats.

On arriving in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, where U.S. President Joe Biden and his counterparts will hold two days of talks starting on Tuesday, Erdogan first met with Kristersson, before breaking off for a separate meeting with European Council President Charles Michel.

Michel tweeted that he and Erdogan had “explored opportunities ahead to bring cooperation back to the forefront and re-energise our relations.” Michel said he has tasked the European Commission to draw up a “report with a view to proceed in strategic and forward-looking manner.”

Turkey is a candidate to join the EU, but its membership talks have been at a standstill since 2018 due to democratic backsliding during Erdogan’s presidency, concerns about the rule of law and rights abuses, as well as disputes with EU-member Cyprus.

Erdogan’s new demand was the first time that he had linked his country’s ambition to join the EU with Sweden’s efforts to become a NATO member.

“Turkey has been waiting at the door of the European Union for over 50 years now, and almost all of the NATO member countries are now members of the European Union,” Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul. “I am making this call to these countries that have kept Turkey waiting at the gates of the European Union for more than 50 years.”

“Come and open the way for Turkey’s membership in the European Union. When you pave the way for Turkey, we’ll pave the way for Sweden as we did for Finland,” he added.

Earlier, Erdogan’s office said he told U.S. President Joe Biden during a telephone call Sunday that Turkey wanted a “clear and strong” message of support for Turkey’s EU ambitions from the NATO leaders. The White House readout of the Biden-Erdogan call did not mention the issue of Turkish EU membership.

Turkey’s delaying tactics have irritated other NATO allies including the United States. Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, confirmed Sunday that Biden and Erdogan had spoken about Sweden’s NATO membership among other issues and had agreed to meet in Vilnius for further talks.

Sullivan said the White House is confident Sweden will join the alliance.

“We don’t regard this as something that is fundamentally in doubt. This is a matter of timing. The sooner the better,” he said.

Previously non-aligned Sweden and Finland applied for NATO membership last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Finland joined in April following Turkish ratification.

Another key issue in Vilnius will be how to bring Ukraine closer to NATO without actually joining, and security guarantees Kyiv might need to ensure that Russia doesn’t invade again after the war ends. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskky will join the summit in person on Wednesday.

Stoltenberg said the most important thing was to continue to support Ukraine’s efforts to resist the Russian invasion.

“Unless Ukraine prevails there is no membership issue to discuss at all,” he said.
