Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The US administration refused to allow a representative of the Israeli government to join President Joe Biden's visit to a Palestinian hospital in occupied East Jerusalem .

Barak Ravid, correspondent for the American Axios website and Walla Hebrew, quoted 4 senior Israeli officials as saying that the Israeli Ministry of Health asked the US administration to accompany a representative during his visit to Augusta Victoria Hospital, but the request was rejected, claiming that the visit is private and they do not want it to be political.

According to the reliable Israeli correspondent, Israel does not like the American rejection method, in light of the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and therefore it is pressing the Biden administration to change its mind, and that there are ongoing talks between the two parties in order to try to resolve the dispute.

He pointed out that the Israeli National Security Adviser, Eyal Kholta, held a discussion yesterday about the American request that Israel help Palestinian hospitals in East Jerusalem, indicating that there is support from Israeli ministries for this step, as it shows equality on the Israeli side and changes its image in front of the world, while Security agencies such as the Shin Bet have expressed their opposition to this, on the grounds that it would weaken the Palestinian Authority.

Washington, (AFP) - The new giant American rocket "SLS" of the US Space Agency ( NASA ) arrived on Wednesday at the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, before its scheduled takeoff to the moon at the end of this month.

This mission will mark the first flight in the framework of the massive American "Artemis" program to return to the moon.

The "Artemis 1" mission will be unmanned, as its goal is to test the rocket and the "Orion" capsule installed on its head to ensure that they can safely transport human crews to the moon, starting in 2024.

The rocket, called the SLS ("Space Launch System" or "Space Launch System"), has been in development for more than a decade and will be the most powerful in the world once it is operational. Its height is 98 meters.

The missile was installed at the famous "39B" launch site after being transported at night for a ten-hour drive from the assembly building.

"For all of us who look at the moon and dream of the day humanity will return to its surface, friends, here we go again," NASA chief Bill Nelson said at a press conference.

The Orion capsule will be pushed to the moon, and even farther from it, by a distance of 64,000 km, to reach a point farther than any manned spacecraft before it.

Upon its return to the earth's atmosphere, the heat shield will withstand a speed of approximately forty thousand kilometers per hour and a temperature two times lower than that of the sun's surface.

The mission is scheduled to launch on August 29 at 08:33 local time.

And if the weather conditions are not favorable, the launch can be postponed to the second or fifth of September.

The mission is expected to last 42 days, until returning to the Pacific Ocean, where the vehicle will be transported via a US Navy ship.

مدريد (د ب أ/ ستاتس بيرفورم)- كشف جدول الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم لموسم 2021 / 2022، والذي تم نشره الأربعاء، عن استضافة فريق برشلونة لمباراة “كلاسيكو” الدور الأول أمام غريمه التقليدي ريال مدريد.
ويستضيف ملعب “كامب نو” مباراة القمة بين الفريقين في 24 من تشرين أول المقبل في المرحلة العاشرة من المسابقة، فيما تقام مباراة الإياب في ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” في 20 من آذار / مارس من العام المقبل.

ولم يتبق سوى انتظار معرفة مدى قدرة برشلونة، والذي سيبدأ موسمه بمواجهة ريال سوسيداد في نهاية الاسبوع ما بين يومي 14 و15 آب / أغسطس المقبل، على الاحتفاظ بنجمه الأرجنتيني ليونيل ميسي والذي ينتهي عقده مع الفريق الكتالوني بنهاية حزيران / يونيو الجاري.

ولم يقرر بعد ميسي / 34 عاما/ الالتزام بعقد جديد مع برشلونة، لكن رئيس النادي خوان لابورتا أكد ثقته في التوصل إلى اتفاق.
على الجانب الأخر، سيفتتح ريال مدريد موسمه بمواجهة تجمعه بديبورتيفو آلافيس خارج ملعبا، كما طلب الفريق إقامة مباراة أخرى خارج ملعبه في بداية الموسم الجديد، وذلك لفتح المجال أمام إنهاء أعمال التطوير في ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو”، الأمر الذي يعني أن مدربه الإيطالي كارلو أنشيلوتي سينتظر وقتا طويلا بعض الشيء لخوض أول مباراة له في ملعب الفريق منذ عودته إليه.

وسيبدأ أتلتيكو مدريد حملة الدفاع عن لقبه بمواجهة خارج أرضه تجمعه بفريق سيلتا فيجو.
وسيستضيف ريال مدريد أول مباراة ديربي للعاصمة أمام أتلتيكو مدريد هذا الموسم، حيث سيقام في شهر كانون أول / ديسمبر المقبل، فيما ستكون مباراة الدور الثاني والتي من المحتمل أن تكون مواجهة حاسمة في الصراع على اللقب في الثامن من أيار / مايو المقبل.

وسيختتم برشلونة موسمه بمواجهة تجمعه على ملعبه مع فياريال، فيما يستضيف ريال مدريد فريق ريال بيتيس، بينما يسافر أتلتيكو مدريد لمواجهة ريال سوسيداد.
وشهد اليوم الأربعاء أيضا تحديد موعد المباراة النهائية لكأس ملك إسبانيا، والتي ستقام في ملعب “لا كارتوجا” في إشبيلية يوم 23 من نيسان / أبريل من العام المقبل.
وباستثناء آخر مرحلتين، فقد تم إقامة مباريات موسم 2021/2020 بدون حضور جماهيري، وذلك بسبب التأثير المستمر لأزمة فيروس كورونا المستجد.

كانت وزيرة الصحة الإسبانية كارولينا دارياس قد أكدت أوائل الشهر الجاري، أن الجماهير سيسمح لهم بالعودة إلى المباريات في الموسم الجديد، وذلك رغم ظهور سلالة “دلتا” الجديدة لفيروس كورونا في أوروبا الأمر الذي قد يوقف تلك المساعي.
كان خافيير تيباس، رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني، قد أعرب الاسبوع الماضي، عن أمله في عودة الجماهير لملء الملاعب بحلول شهر تشرين ثان / نوفمبر المقبل.

وأوضح تيباس في 23 حزيران / يونيو الماضي: “أعتقد أننا يمكننا أن نبدأ الموسم بنسبة 60 بالمئة من سعة الملاعب، بعض المناطق في إسبانيا سيكون لديها أكثر والبعض سيكون أقل، لكن مع حلول تشرين / ثان نوفمبر المقبل أو كانون أول / ديسمبر، يجب أن نصل إلى نسبة مئة بالمئة”.

WASHINGTON (Xinhua) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton announced on Wednesday that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

Clinton, 76, said in a tweet on Twitter that he had "mild symptoms" but was generally feeling well and keeping himself busy at home.

Clinton, who was fully vaccinated and the booster shot, urged "everyone to do the same, especially as the winter months approach."

Hebron - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Public Prosecution office has launched investigation procedures, while the police has started investigation procedures regarding the death of a 27-year-old woman, south of Hebron.

The media spokesman for the police, Colonel Louay Arziqat, stated that the woman was admitted to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Qasim Hospital in the city of Yatta, south of Hebron, dead.

BERLIN: Germany 's Mahrom power plant has been restarted, becoming the country's first hard coal power plant to restart due to scarce gas supplies, plant sources said.

The general manager of Kraftwerk Mahrom, Armin Weber, told Xinhua that the station, which was previously in reserve mode, started operation since midday Sunday local time, with a capacity of about 270 megawatts.

Germany was the only industrialized country to phase out coal and nuclear power. But with the flow of gas from Russia through the strategically important Nord Stream 1 pipeline down to 20 per cent, the German government is considering halting the phase-out of nuclear power in the country and preparing further legislation to return lignite-fired power plants to the electricity market.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action recently announced that a gas savings law was being prepared to prevent "unnecessary generation of electricity from natural gas". The ministry said that the law "will enter into force when it becomes clear that there is a need for more rationalization of gas in electricity generation."

In preparation for the coming winter, the European Union's energy ministers agreed last Tuesday to voluntarily reduce gas consumption by 15 percent compared to the country's average consumption over the past five years, until the end of March 2023.

"We are doing everything we can to ensure that there is no shortage of gas. We have to save energy and find alternative sources," said German Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck.

Manama - "Jerusalem" dot com - The King of Bahrain , Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, overthrew Sheikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa from her position at the presidency of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities.

The reasons that led to the dismissal of Sheikha Mai from her post were not publicly clear, and the Royal Court contented itself with issuing a decision on the twenty-first of this month, appointing Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa as head of the authority in her place.

And it was stated in a report by the London-based newspaper, Rai Al-Youm, that Sheikha Mai was overthrown because of her refusal to shake hands with the Israeli ambassador to Bahrain, Eitan Nae.

According to the newspaper, on the sixteenth of last June, the US ambassador to Bahrain, Stephen Bondy, held a special condolence council for the death of his father, and some ambassadors and officials, including Sheikha Mai bint Mohammed, and the Israeli ambassador, invited him, and while introducing one of the attendees to the personalities to shake hands, the sheikha refused to shake hands. Naih withdrew her hand and left the American ambassador's house, and asked that no picture of her be published in the funeral.

Sheikha Mai had worked in the media and culture for more than 20 years, during which she was always a controversial figure, and her background that came from the ruling family gave her the ability to rebel against the ministers under whom she worked.

Prior to that, Sheikha Mai refused to Judaize the old neighborhoods of the capital, Manama, and this includes the Judaization of Bab Al-Bahrain and Al-Mutanabbi Street all the way to the Jewish Synagogue located in Saasa bin Sohan Street in Old Manama, and she refused to allow American Jewish investors to build a Jewish neighborhood with guiding writings and a Star of David that receives tourists from Bahrain Gate to the Jewish Synagogue. As stated in "Rai Al-Youm" newspaper.

The Sheikh Ibrahim Center, run by Sheikha Mai, hosted the Jewish historian and thinker Ilan Pappe on November 30, 2021, who suggested that the desired future solution is the abolition of the racist Zionist settler colonialism of Palestine, and the symposium was a blow to normalization efforts with Israel.

بغداد-(شينخوا) أفاد مصدر أمني بمحافظة نينوى شمال بغداد بمقتل مسلحين اثنين من تنظيم الدولة الإسلامية أو ما يعرف بداعش وإصابة أحد أفراد الجيش العراقي في اشتباك خلال عملية أمنية جنوب شرق المحافظة.

وقال الرائد سعد البياتي من شرطة نينوى لوكالة أنباء ((شينخوا)) اليوم (الأحد) إن قوة من الجيش العراقي كانت تقوم بعملية أمنية في جبل قره جوغ جنوب شرق مدينة الموصل مركز محافظة نينوى، اشتبكت مع مجموعة من مسلحي داعش.

وأضاف أن الاشتباكات أسفرت عن مقتل مسلحين اثنين من داعش وإصابة أحد أفراد الجيش بجروح نقل على اثرها إلى المستشفى.

وتجري القوات الأمنية عملية تفتيش في المنطقة لتعقب مسلحي التنظيم، بحسب البياتي.

وأعلن العراق في التاسع من ديسمبر عام 2017 طرد عناصر داعش وفرض السيطرة الكاملة على جميع الأراضي العراقية، لكن خلايا نائمة تابعة للتنظيم ما تزال تنشط في بعض مناطق البلاد.

Baghdad - (AFP) - Employees, housewives, daily workers or activists: These are the people who have been sitting inside the Iraqi parliament for days, raising the same demands, but they come from different backgrounds.

Everyone repeats the same rhetoric, rhetoric similar to that of Muqtada al-Sadr , and it is accompanied by social demands that reflect the harshness of daily life for the working class in Iraq: from changing the political system and fighting corruption to finding work for the youth and securing good public services.

Behind this unified language, different stories.

Ali Muhammad, 43, left his wife and three children at home in southern Iraq, and came to participate in the sit-in since Saturday.

And the man says in eloquent language that expresses his profession as an Islamic education teacher, "(I came) for the sake of my country's devotion from the wickedness of the corrupt."
The teacher is also calling for a new constitution and presidential system. He does not hide his participation since 2003 in all the demonstrations called for by the Sadrist movement.

He repeats the phrase "We are the Sadrists" more than once, and tells how he participated four times in storming the fortified Green Zone in the capital, which includes government headquarters and embassies. He entered parliament in 2016 and the prime minister's office, and re-entered it twice during the past week.

He adds, "I entered it all, and yes, I am proud," speaking of the "ideological revolutionary trend" of the current to which he belongs.

The man acknowledges the existence of "challenges and difficulty in the struggle for reform," but the "divine protection" that al-Sadr enjoys facilitates the task, in addition to his "dedicated fan base, which is the arm with which it strikes the dens of the corrupt."

Umm Ali sits on a sofa inside the parliament building. The 47-year-old has been coming to parliament every day since Saturday with her husband, siblings and children.

The woman, a housewife in the long black abaya and the grandmother of 13 grandchildren, assures that she will come "every day, until the master tells us to withdraw."

Umm Ali placed a picture of Muqtada al-Sadr on her knees while saying, "He is the only honest one, the only one who fights against injustice."

In a country rich in oil but suffering from corruption, Umm Ali participates in the demonstrations to "take back the homeland. The homeland has been lost, the entire homeland has been plundered."

Umm Ali is a resident of the popular neighborhood of Sadr City in Baghdad, which was named after Muqtada's father. Her husband is with special needs, following an injury he received in 2009 in an explosion in Baghdad. "He was an employee, and he was out of the workplace," she says. She adds that he had to drop out of primary school to support his family, "Since then, we have not received any compensation."

The woman, a mother of six girls and a boy, denounces that "there is no work for the youth. Even graduates with higher degrees work as porters or as daily wage laborers. Is this what they deserve?"

Rasool Ashour, 20, was among the demonstrators who entered Parliament. In his tuk-tuk that he brought from Sadr City, and for 500 dinars per person (about 30 cents on the dollar), Rasul now takes the demonstrators along the long road that leads to Parliament, saving them the trouble of walking under a scorching sun and a temperature of about fifty degrees Celsius.

"It is a symbolic tariff," the young man says. "Only the price of fuel is enough for me."

Working in the Sadr City neighborhood gives him an income of just over ten dollars, barely sufficient to secure the sustenance of his wife and one-year-old daughter.

Like Rasool, dozens of tuk-tuk drivers came to and around the Green Zone to take protesters to parliament.

"All these young men do not have a job... We want a job. Let them give me a job, whatever it is, even if it is guarding the border with Syria," he says.

The young man also denounces the poor condition of the roads in his neighborhood, the daily power outages, and the absence of public services.

And his last demand to the authorities: to lift the ban on roaming the tuk-tuk between six in the evening and six in the morning.

Unlike other protesters, Mustafa, a 29-year-old computer engineer who takes French lessons in his spare time, says he does not belong to the Sadrist movement.

Like a few demonstrators in the Iraqi parliament, his first allegiance is to the broad anti-authority protest movement that rocked Iraq in the fall of 2019.

The young man recalls that the Sadrists at the time joined the protests at one point.
"Half of the demonstrators were supporters of al-Sadr. They had their own tents and raised his pictures," he says.
He comes daily to the parliament sit-in to "change the reality" of Iraq.
He says about politicians, "They have millions and billions, they have air conditioners, houses, and palaces abroad, and we have nothing at all."
When asked about al-Sadr's call to change the political system, he laughed and said, "But he changed it! Where is the government? It fell."

Paris (AFP) - An amicable solution to the commercial dispute between Airbus and Qatar Airways appears to be elusive, with the European aircraft manufacturing group annulling the remainder of the contract between the two companies and canceling the delivery of 19 A350 aircraft. .

After canceling a delivery of 50 A-321s in January, Airbus has ended the rest of its contract with Qatar Airways to deliver 19 A-350s, a source familiar with the matter said. Information reported by the press.

Neither Airbus nor the Qatari group wanted to comment on the information immediately.

The case dates back to August 2021, when the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority ordered "Qatar Airways" to ground 13 Airbus A-350 aircraft due to the rapid deterioration of their exterior surfaces.

Since then, the number of planes that have been grounded has risen to 23, according to the latest census conducted in April, while Qatar Airways has claimed compensation of $200,000 per plane for every day the planes stopped working.

But Airbus is challenging the diagnosis of the Qatari authorities and the airline, which is one of its biggest customers.

For Airbus, which acknowledges that a decomposition of the paintwork may reveal an integral metal grille intended to protect the aircraft in the event of a lightning strike, this situation has no impact on flight safety.

Also, the European Aviation Safety Agency confirms that these paint degradations do not imply any hazards related to the operation of the aircraft.

For its part, Qatar Airways demanded compensation of $618 million before the High Court in London, in addition to compensation for the aircraft's grounding.

The trial is scheduled for June 2023. Meanwhile, Airbus responded by canceling the Qatari company's order to buy 50 A-321 aircraft worth more than $6 billion.

A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - It was announced on Saturday evening that a settler died of his injuries sustained as a result of the run-over attack that took place yesterday in occupied Jerusalem .

This brings the death toll to 3, after it was announced yesterday that two were killed in the operation carried out by the martyr Hussein Qaraqe from the town of Issawiya, east of occupied Jerusalem.

The dead man whose death was announced this evening is the brother of one of the dead yesterday.

Jiuquan - (Xinhua) -- China launched into space on Sunday a satellite to explore the sun, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwest of the country, to advance its scientific endeavors to uncover the secrets of the sun.

Algeria - (AFP) - The Algerian start-up company for taxi and delivery services announced, on Monday, that it had raised $150 million in capital from American investors to "expand its reach" in the Maghreb region and Europe.

The company was founded by Algerian engineers Noureddine Tibi and Mehdi Yatto five years ago, and quickly gained great popularity in the Maghreb region thanks to its fully developed application in Algeria.

And its spread increased even more after it mobilized $ 30 million from American investors at the end of 2021.

And the company stated in a statement that the total amount it was able to mobilize during the five years of its launch amounted to “1936.25 million dollars, to become the most valuable startup in North Africa and one of the most valuable companies in Africa and the Middle East.”
And she continued, “With this gathering of capital, she intends to expand her reach in the region” and even enter Europe through the France portal “soon,” as she announced on her official website.

Since its launch, Yasir has created more than 40,000 indirect jobs (drivers and delivery workers). The application records a steady increase from 20 to 40% in its monthly sales figures, according to a previous statement to AFP by the company's CEO, Noureddine Tibi.

The company stated that it is currently "present in six countries and 45 cities, with more than 8 million users in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and parts of French-speaking Africa" such as Senegal.

The brutality of the occupation is increasing day after day against our people, our land, our sanctities, and many, many others, resulting from the silence of the international community that does not move a finger in the face of these brutal crimes, the likes of which were not committed even in the early centuries and in the centuries and the Middle Ages, when the West was throwing opponents in front of the brutal monsters to kill them. .

And here is the occupying state deriving this from the primitive stages of history, as well as from the crimes committed against mankind and humanity in the first and second world wars, which led to the death of millions of people, and it is what was known as the brutality of the West.

And the occupying state, which is an extension of the colonial civilization of the West, works on what the colonial states did, but in more brutal ways than what was in the past, especially against the rights of our people, their land, properties, and sanctities.

Yesterday, the occupation state, through its soldiers, executed the young man, Muhammad al-Shaham, in cold blood, by shooting him in the head as soon as he and his father opened the door to the paths of the monsters, in front of his family, without any question about his identity or why they came and blew up the main gate, and without Muhammad being brought to trial. He had committed any sin for which he could be prosecuted, bearing in mind that international law allows the colonized or occupied people to resist this occupation.

The brutal crime committed by the occupying forces against the young man Al-Shaham, as well as what it did in Jenin, Nablus and Gaza, are crimes against humanity that are judged by international law and the War Crimes Court. However, all these laws and courts do not apply to the occupying state, which continues to do so. This is derived from the American support and many Western countries for it, which claim democracy and human rights, and raise this as glamorous slogans without applying them. It exceeds all the unforgivable crimes that humanity has been exposed to.

The one who bears the responsibility for the brutal crimes of the occupation is the international community that does not fulfill its responsibilities towards the rights of our people and towards what the occupying state is doing, which affected children, youth, the elderly and women, and in more precise terms affected people, trees and stones.

As long as the international community does not carry out its responsibilities stipulated in the laws, customs and charters of the United Nations that were established in order to achieve international peace and security, and for fear of the occupation state continuing to implement the law of the jungle against our people, we have no choice but to unify our ranks and end the farce of division, as national unity is the only way In front of our people to achieve their full goals of freedom and independence and to defeat the occupation and force it to leave our land.

Nevertheless, the inaction of the international community and the favoritism of the occupying state constitute a disgrace on the forehead of this society, which abdicates its responsibilities. Therefore, what the occupying state is doing is a threat to global peace and security, which is about to collapse.

BEIJING - (Xinhua) - Apart from cheering for star-studded teams and fierce competition in stadiums, Chinese football fans have another feeling of participating in the 2022 FIFA World Cup currently underway in Qatar, through the strong presence of Chinese elements in the wonderful global event.

From stadiums, electric vehicles to cultural derivatives, an impressive array of Chinese-made products has been unveiled in the current edition of the World Cup, as the names of Chinese companies can easily be seen on the banners and markings on the outskirts of the stadiums.

It is also the first time for a Chinese company to carry out the design and construction of a World Cup stadium,” said Li Bai, China’s chief engineer.

Chinese companies also participated in the construction of the "fan village" of the World Cup. For example, some 6,000 container homes have been positioned south of the Qatari capital, Doha, where Chinese companies have provided them with well-equipped facilities including separate bathrooms and air-conditioners.

On the streets of Qatar, more than 3,000 Chinese-made buses are running during the World Cup, including 888 electric cars that provide shuttle services to thousands of officials, journalists and fans from different countries of the world.

"The World Cup is an ideal platform for products made in China. The popularity of the products reflects the entry of Chinese manufacturing into the global high-end market," said Song Xiangqing, a researcher at Beijing Normal University.

- Global competitiveness

Li Wenlu, a football fanatic and general manager of a Chinese new energy technology company, never imagined that his company's products would one day make their way to the World Cup, but managed to deliver an order for 12 electric vehicles for the World Cup.

"As long as there are large-scale projects worldwide, 'Made in China' will be the first choice for international customers, as Chinese-made products have competitive advantages," Li said, adding that the excellent waterproof performance of his vehicles helped him win the trust of customers from Qatar.

Chen Jia, an independent international strategic analyst, said that China's industrialization is currently accelerating the green and intelligent process, while making positive contributions to the global industrial chain and supply chain stability.

Data from Tianyancha, a corporate information provider, showed that more than 120,000 Yiwu companies have entered the world's markets, as these foreign trade companies have greatly improved their research and development capabilities to establish their own brands. For example, in the scarves category alone, companies in Yiwu currently hold nearly 2,000 patents.

By promoting their brands at the quadrennial World Cup, Chinese companies have generated more sponsorship revenue for the event's host country than any other country, with the total investment of Chinese companies amounting to about $1.4 billion, according to Global Data, a consulting firm. Analytics based in London.

from his side; Li Jiang, managing director of a Chinese sports marketing company, said that Chinese companies have grown into major participants in global sporting events, demonstrating their global competitiveness.

And data from the "Ali Express" platform for e-shopping related to global trade showed that sales of flags and soccer shoes made in China rose by 300 percent and 200 percent, respectively, in November, compared to the previous month.

"We have seen a huge increase in football equipment sales recently due to the eye-catching World Cup," said Xu Xiao, head of the cross-border e-commerce unit of Kelme Sports Products Company.

"But we don't mean to make a quick profit just because of a boom," he said, noting that many Chinese companies are now focusing on long-term business and devoting themselves to building lasting competitiveness.

ATHENS - (AFP) - Greek police announced Monday evening that they had located 38 Syrians on the Greek-Turkish border, who had been stranded for days, according to the United Nations, on an island on the Evros border river.

Non-governmental organizations and media reported the death of a child among the Syrians, which the police could not confirm so far.

"After new information and in-depth investigations, a group of illegal immigrants, who are Syrians according to their statements, including nine women and seven children, were located on Greek territory," the police said in a statement.

The immigrants' location was discovered "at a distance of about four kilometers from the initially announced point, which was outside Greek territory," and the statement added, noting that among them was a "pregnant woman."

On Sunday, the immigration minister indicated that Greek police had "carried out multiple checks" but had not found any migrants on the Greek side.

The case has caused an uproar in recent days on the Internet, with journalists and human rights NGOs warning of the "critical situation" of the refugees.

On Saturday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees called for "urgent measures" to be taken to rescue "about forty people stranded on a small island on the border between Greece and Turkey."

"According to media reports received, a child has died tragically," UNHCR wrote in a tweet. "Unless urgent action is taken, we fear that more lives will be at risk."
The minister and the police have not yet confirmed the information about the death of the child, which occurred last week, according to the United Nations and media on the island of Evros.
For its part, the Greek police said that they had reported this case to the Turkish border authorities twice in recent days.
Human rights NGOs and media reported that these refugees were victims of illegal push-backs between Greece and Turkey, and had been stranded on an island in Evros for days.
Greece is facing accusations from non-governmental organizations and the media of its responsibility in the forced and illegal deportation of migrants from its sea and land borders. Greece's conservative government denies the accusations.

Strasbourg - (AFP) - A 29-year-old Tunisian man suspected of killing a 32-year-old woman, who was arrested in Mulhouse (eastern France) in mid-December, will be handed over to the Italian judiciary within ten days, his defense attorney said Thursday.

And reduces Depay's chances of participating also the availability of other wonderful alternatives in the attack in front of Xavi Hernandez, coach of Barcelona, such as French Osman Dembele, Gabonese Pierre Emeric Aubameyang, Spaniards Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati.

Depay played very few matches for Barcelona under Xavi late last season, and the player's level of performance was not convincing to the coach.

Barcelona needs to sell some of its players to reduce the size of its debts, which amounted to 1.35 billion euros, by taking advantage of the consideration for selling players on the one hand and reducing the amount of salaries incurred by the club annually.

However, the Spanish media indicates at the same time that Depay feels comfortable in the ranks of Barcelona and insists on completing his contract.

Some reports indicate that Barcelona is ready to dispense with the Dutch player for 20 million euros.

Haller, who recently moved from Ajax to Dortmund, suffers from a tumor that will keep him out of action for several months.

Media reports in the past few days have mentioned the names of some attackers as replacements for the 28-year-old Hallier, such as Edinson Cavani, Edin Dzeko, Mauro Icardi, Giovanni Simeone and Anthony Modest.

Amman - "Jerusalem" dot com - An official Jordanian source denied what was circulated by the Hebrew media about the aim of the Palestinian-Israeli security meeting in Aqaba, to train members of the National Security Apparatus in training bases on Jordanian territory to fight the resistance factions in the West Bank.

The source said, in an interview with the Jordanian Ammon website, that what was circulated is untrue, and that it is likely to come from extremists who want to escalate and spoil the targeted effort, to stop all unilateral measures and military operations, in order to reach a stage of calm during which trust is built, leading to political engagement.

He stressed that the meeting is a breakthrough for Jordan, as it is the first to bring together Palestinian and Israeli political and security officials with a regional and international presence.

He pointed out, "It is clear that the extremist forces do not want political involvement that would stop unilateral measures."

He noted that Jordan held the meeting in full coordination with Palestine with the aim of reaching a consensus that would stop unilateral measures that cause tension and undermine chances of achieving a just peace based on the two-state solution.

And Hebrew media reported that the most prominent points in the security talks between the Authority and (Israel) are the training of a Palestinian security element, who are currently working in the National Security Apparatus in training bases on Jordanian territory, and they will undergo a special training program under American supervision, whose mission is to fight the resistance factions in the West Bank. Which turned out to be false, according to the source.

Hebron - "Jerusalem" dot com - A 3-year-old child was killed today, Thursday, as a result of a run-over accident in front of his house in the town of Sa'ir, north of Hebron.

The media spokesman for the police, Colonel Louay Arziqat, explained that the child was trampled by one of his relatives while he was playing in front of the house, which caused him serious injuries. He was subsequently transferred to Al-Mizan Hospital in Hebron, but he died of his serious injuries.

Erziqat added that the Public Prosecution Office was informed and the traffic police investigated the accident to find out its causes.

Brussels - (AFP) - The European Commission wants to oblige all banks in the European Union to offer instant payments at no extra cost compared to traditional transfers, according to a bill submitted on Wednesday.

Instant payments take less than ten seconds at any time or day of the year, and they account for just 11 percent of all euro transfers made in the European Union.

They are often subject to fees of up to 30 euros, unlike traditional transfers, which usually take a full day and may exceed 72 hours if they happen on a weekend followed or preceded by a holiday.

The bill requires payment service providers that offer to make transfers in euros to also offer instant payment.
They are also prohibited from charging fees for these instant payments that exceed those charged for traditional remittances.

"Instant remittances are quickly becoming the norm in many countries. They must become available to everyone in Europe as well, in order to remain competitive on the international stage," Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said in a statement.

European Commissioner for Financial Services Mairead McGuinness said, "The ability to send and receive money in seconds is important, especially at a time when household bills and small and medium-sized businesses are rising, knowing that every penny counts," noting that the technology has existed since 2017.

The Commission's proposal also aims to "liberate" the money passing through the financial system, amounting to about 200 billion euros per day, for consumption or investment.

Payment service providers will also have an obligation to verify that the Iban account number and beneficiary name match, in order to warn the payer of any possible “fraud” prior to payment.

The proposal amending the existing rules will be submitted to member states and the European Parliament. Once the provision becomes effective, banks will have six to twelve months to implement it.

The European Office of Consumer Unions welcomed the proposals, stressing that the cost of instant transfers and fears of fraud were "barriers" to using this type of payment.
"It shouldn't be just a privileged service, it's time for it to be the norm," said Monique Goens, director general of the European Office of Consumer Unions.

لندن (أ ف ب) -يتحمّلونها ويشكون منها ويسعون للخروج منها، وإلا فهو الانغماس التام فيها، من دون أن تنفجر أبداً. هكذا يتم توصيف “الفقاعة الصحية” التي باتت مسكناً لتشكيلات المنتخبات المشاركة في كأس أوروبا 2020 لكرة القدم. وفي ما يلي، بعض الشهادات على “الحياة في الفقاعة” في زمن كوفيد-19.

إنكلترا التي لعبت غالبية مبارياتها على أرضها، تشعر كأنها سمكة في فقاعتها في مركز تدريب سانت جورج بارك.
يقول مهاجم منتخب الأسود الثلاثة رحيم سترلينغ إنه “من الجيد جداً أن تكون في بلدك لمرة واحدة وأن تتنفس الهواء البريطاني النقي. لا يمكنني التوقف عن الابتسام”.

تم إيلاء اهتمام خاص لتزيين الغرف، بحسب جاك غريليش الذي قال “عدت إلى غرفتي معتقداً أنها ستكون غرفة عادية، ولكن كانت هناك صور لعائلتي في كل مكان ولأحد كلابي، ما جعلني أشعر بالسعادة”.
بالنسبة للآباء، يصعب أحياناً التعايش مع الأماكن المغلقة. قال حارس مرمى وقائد المنتخب الفرنسي هوغو لوريس “إنها تتطلب تضحية صغيرة منا تجاه عائلاتنا”.

وأضاف “من الواضح، عندما تكون أباً، أن هناك نقصاً في عدم التواصل مع أطفالك. لكن لا يزال بإمكاننا الاتصال بهم عبر مكالمات الفيديو”.
لكن يتجنب البعض، على غرار زميله لوكا دينيي، المشاعر السلبية من خلال مطالبة الأسرة بعدم الحضور إلى المباريات “أطفالي صغار، طفلي الصغير يبلغ من العمر 5 أشهر، والأكبر يبلغ عامين. أن تشرح له أن أباه غير قادر على معانقته أمر معقد للغاية”.
يبدو أن ألعاب الورق الجيدة القديمة لدى الإيطاليين قد اختفت تماماً من المشهد، لصالح منصات البث المباشر والألعاب الإلكترونية.

حتى أن كرة الطاولة باتت أقل عصرية مما كانت عليه في السابق. ويُقال إن مانويل لوكاتيللي وماتيو بيسينا هما الوحيدان تقريباً اللذان يستخدمان الطاولة المنصوبة في معسكر الأتزوري التدريبي في كوفيرتشانو.
بالنسبة للمدرب روبرتو مانشيني، يكون التعايش القسري مرهقاً في بعض الأحيان: “لقد كنا معاً لمدة شهر تقريباً، وأحياناً نحتاج إلى 24 ساعة من دون رؤية بعضنا البعض. هناك حاجة للتفكير في شيء آخر (…) هذا نوعاً ما مشكلة هذه البطولة بما أننا في فقاعة”.

صَدَمَ السويسريان غرانيت تشاكا ومانويل أكنجي الصحافة الصادرة باللغة الألمانية في بلدهما من خلال صبغ شعريهما باللون الأشقر، مع الإشارة إلى أن مصفف الشعر قدّم اختبار كوفيد-19 سلبياً وكان يرتدي كمامة.
وكتبت صحيفة “بليك” أن “مواكب سيارات اللامبورغيني، والوشوم، ومصففي الشعر الذين يتمّ إرسالهم بالطائرة، تظهر على المنتخب السويسري علامات سذاجة لا تصدق”. وأضافت أن “هذا الجيل من اللاعبين بعيد جداً عن القاعدة الجماهيرية، عن الناس العاديين. سلوكه غير مفهوم للمشجع العادي”.

أكد مدرب المنتخب الألماني يواكيم لوف قبل الإقصاء من البطولة “لدي اتصالات مع الأصدقاء والعائلة، لكنها بالحد الأدنى”. وأضاف “من الواضح أننا نرسل الأخبار كتابة، ولكن الحياة تتواصل بعد ذلك. نحن في نفق ولا يوجد يوم يمكننا فيه فك الضغط تماماً (…) لا وقت كاف للاعتناء بأشياء أخرى”.

يحبّ بعض اللاعبين البلجيكيين أن تتسخ أيديهم في المطبخ. هذه هي حالة دريس ميرتنس ويان فيرتونغن وتيبو كورتوا وروميلو لوكاكو، بحسب ما يقول بارتيل ديوولف طباخ “الشياطين الحمر”.

وأوضح “نحن أيضا ننظم حفلات إيطالية، ليالي السوشي أو حفلات الشواء. هذا مهم لأن اللاعبين يحتاجون إليه. أنا أيضاً أصنع الكثير من لحم الخنزير الإسباني (…) للمدرب روبيرتو مارتينيس. أعرف اللحام البلجيكي الوحيد المختص بهذا الأمر. يذهب ليشتري اللحم من إسبانيا ويرسل لنا بعض القطع الخاصة. أجعل مارتينيس يتذوّقها ويخمّن نوع اللحم. آخر مرة، اكتشف أنه لحم إيبيريكو يبلغ من العمر خمس سنوات. إنه جيد جداً في ذلك الأمر”.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - On the twenty-third of this month, a new session will be held for the prisoner, Nasser Abu Hamid , to consider again the issue of his early release.

The Captive Club said that a new session will be held for the prisoner Abu Hamid, who is ill with cancer and who is facing a critical health condition, on October 23, in order to consider his request for his early release again before the Central Court of the Occupation.

It is noteworthy that the occupation committee specialized in examining his request for his release had rejected his request for early release, despite his critical health condition.

LOS ANGELES - (AFP) - Actor Kevin Spacey was obliged to pay about $31 million to the producers of the series "House of Cards", from which he was excluded after accusations of sexual assault. former.

Spacey, who won two Oscars for "American Beauty" and "Young Subjects," is on trial in Britain for four sexual assaults against three men.

The charges were brought against Spacey in the wake of the launch of the “Me Too” movement, after the scandals of American film producer Harvey Weinstein, who was targeted by several accusations of sexual harassment and assault, were revealed in the fall of 2017. The wave of accusations against Spacey had dire consequences for the actor’s career.

MRC, the producer of the "House of Cards" series, which depicts behind-the-scenes politics in the White House, was claiming compensation for damages due to losses incurred as a result of excluding Spacey from work, as his dismissal made drastic changes to the sixth season of the series.

The 2020 arbitration concluded that Spicey should pay damages equivalent to the losses and costs incurred by the company as a result of these changes.

However, the representative's defense attorneys confirmed that the person who conducted the arbitration exceeded his powers by taking into account some evidence.

However, Judge Mel Red Ricana confirmed in his decision Thursday that the Hollywood star must pay about $ 31 million, including compensation for damages and lawsuit expenses.

The judge confirmed the arbitration's finding that Spacey breached the terms of his contract with the company because of the conduct he was accused of.
The actor has consistently denied that he sexually harassed anyone.

And Spacey embodied in "House of Cards" the role of an American politician named Frank Underwood who uses all crooked ways to reach the White House and remove his opponents.

In mid-July, Spacey pleaded not guilty in London to sexual assaults committed between March 2005 and April 2013.

In the United States, Spacey was charged with indecent assault and sexual assault in Massachusetts, on the American east coast. In July 2016, he was accused of sexually harassing an 18-year-old man working in a bar, after making him drink alcohol.

Translation by "Al Quds" dot com - The Israeli army revealed, this evening, Wednesday, the role played by armed drones during the recent military operation in the Gaza Strip .

According to what was revealed by senior Israeli officers in a security briefing to the Hebrew press - as mentioned by the Hebrew website Ynet - that those aircraft attacked more than 90% of the targets that were hit in the Gaza Strip, noting that 50 armed drones participated in the operation, which included what between hitting targets and collecting intelligence, in addition to using it as a radar to contribute to the missile interception process.

One of the officers claimed that her surgeries were 90% successful, claiming that no attempts to shoot down any of the drones were detected, due to the advantages they possess and the difficulty of locating them due to their low flight and the secrecy of their operations to varying degrees.

While the Hebrew Channel 7 reported, quoting another officer, that 2,000 flight hours, more than 100 sorties, and dozens of attacks were carried out by these planes.

An Israeli officer from the Palmachim base, which was supervising the operation of these planes, said that the entire Gaza Strip was covered by drones to collect intelligence information 24 hours a day, and they were producing accurate and high-quality information.

In response to a question by a Ynet reporter about whether the operations caused the deaths of Palestinian civilians - as he put it -, one of the officers said that investigations are still ongoing in this regard, referring to what was announced that an Israeli plane had bombed the children of the Al-Falluja cemetery in the northern Gaza Strip. It is not a local missile, as an Israeli military spokesman claimed at the time.

Muscat - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Shura Council in the Sultanate of Oman referred today, Monday, a bill amending Article 1 of the Boycott Israel Law to the Legislative and Legal Committee to complete the procedural aspects.

The deputy speaker of the Omani Shura Council, Yaqoub Al-Harthy, said, in statements published by Oman News Agency, after the end of the regular session, that the proposal expands the scope of the boycott stipulated in the aforementioned article, and leads to "an expansion of criminalization and an expansion of the boycott of this entity."

He pointed out that the law in its current form "prohibits dealing with the Israeli entity, whether for individuals or legal persons.

And that "the brothers, Your Excellencies (members of the Shura Council who applied for the request) looked at the development taking place, whether it was technical, cultural, economic or sports, and proposed additional amendments that include severing any economic, sports or cultural relations, and prohibiting dealing in any way or means, whether It was a real meeting (or) an electronic meeting (or) something else.

Sharm el-Sheikh ( Egypt ) - (AFP) - Pressure is mounting on Egypt on Tuesday to release its most famous prisoner, Alaa Abdel- Fattah. Awful."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz appealed for Alaa's release from Sharm el-Sheikh, saying, "There should be a decision. It must be possible to release him so that his hunger strike does not end in death."

"The situation is very tense and we should be afraid that this will lead to terrible results," he added.

The UN rapporteur on freedom of assembly called on Tuesday afternoon for Alaa's release. "I join the calls for the immediate release of Alaa Abdel-Fattah, whose life is in danger and who have been prostrated for years because of his exercise of his legitimate right to demonstrate," Clement Voll wrote on Twitter.

A few hours ago, the spokeswoman for the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravina Shamdasani, said in a press statement in Geneva that the High Commissioner, Volker Türk, "deeply regrets that the Egyptian authorities have not yet released the blogger and activist whose life is in great danger."

"We are very concerned about his health," especially since the activist's family "has not been able to contact him in the past two days," she added.

She explained that Turk discussed the case of Alaa Abdel-Fattah with the Egyptian authorities on Friday, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, discussed his case with the Egyptian authorities on the sidelines of the climate conference held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

"Abdel-Fattah is in great danger. His water strike puts his life in danger," Türk said in a statement.

"My office and other UN human rights mechanisms have raised the case of Abdel Fattah and other people arbitrarily deprived of their liberty and imprisoned after unfair trials several times," he added.

In an indication of the sensitivity of the issue in a country that is regularly accused of violating human rights, United Nations security was forced on Tuesday to remove a member of the Egyptian parliament from a by-session held on the sidelines of the Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, after the representative tried to boycott Sanaa Seif, the human rights activist and sister of Alaa Abdel-Fattah, and prevented her. Who responded to him and attacked her severely, according to journalists from France Press.

Representative Amr Darwish, who is loyal to the authority, said that Alaa Abdel-Fattah is "an Egyptian citizen, and he is a criminal prisoner, not a politician. Why do you seek help from Western countries?" He added that Alaa "assaulted his country's army and police," indicating that he did not deserve mercy.

The Egyptian-British activist, one of the symbols of the 2011 revolution and whom President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi regularly criticizes in his speeches, was arrested in 2019 and sentenced to five years in prison in 2021 on charges of spreading false news for retweeting a tweet referring to the death of a prisoner in a prison.

At a press conference she held in Sharm El-Sheikh, where she is preparing to press for her brother's release, Sanaa Seif said that her family fears that the Egyptian authorities will "force" Alaa Abdel-Fattah to feed and that they "reject" any measure that takes place "against his will."

She explained that these fears increased after statements on Monday by Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, in which he confirmed that her brother was "receiving the necessary care" and by French President Emmanuel Macron, in which he quoted Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as "a pledge to preserve his health."

Saif said she could not imagine her brother "now being forced to feed and put on a bed and handcuffed" for this purpose.

Alaa Abdel-Fattah, who announced a full hunger strike last week, stopped drinking water Sunday, coinciding with the opening of the Climate Conference to demand his freedom.

His mother, a professor of mathematics at Cairo University, went again on Tuesday to Wadi al-Natrun prison, located in a desert area 100 kilometers north of Cairo, in an attempt to obtain any evidence that her son was still alive after she spent more than 10 hours on Monday in front of the prison without being able to obtain On a handwritten letter reassuring her.

Alaa's younger sister, Mona Seif, said on Tuesday evening in a tweet on Twitter that her mother had not received anything new that could reassure her.

And she wrote, "Like yesterday, there is no answer, no explanation, and there is no need to confirm that Alaa is alive and conscious."

On Tuesday morning, Laila Soueif made an appeal on Facebook to the British Prime Minister and world leaders who are in Sharm El-Sheikh.

And she wrote, "The Egyptian authorities, who have a lot of blood on their hands, probably think that they can get away with a new crime, and they may be right. What would happen if a new death occurred in a prison cell?"

And she added, "Therefore, I address my words to others, to the British Prime Minister and all the leaders of the countries gathered in Sharm El-Sheikh. The Egyptian authorities are your friend and they are under your protection and not your adversary. If Alaa dies, you too will have blood on your hands while you claim that you represent countries in which there is every life." have value.”

On Monday morning, three Egyptian female journalists started a hunger strike at their union's headquarters in the heart of Cairo, to demand the release of Abdel Fattah.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron raised his issue with the Egyptian President in Sharm el-Sheikh on the sidelines of the "COP 27" conference.

According to Amnesty International, 766 prisoners of conscience have been released since the Egyptian authorities reactivated the Presidential Amnesty Committee last April.
But 1,540 others have been arrested and imprisoned since then, including Sherif El-Rouby, a left-wing activist who was remanded after his release, according to the international human rights organization.
Alaa Abdel-Fattah obtained British citizenship in prison in April through his British-born mother.

Kabul - (AFP) - Taliban elements chanted victory chants Monday in Kabul near the former headquarters of the US embassy, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the movement's return to power in Afghanistan , a year that witnessed a major humanitarian crisis and a sharp decline in women's rights.

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took control of the capital, Kabul, without encountering any resistance, following its lightning advance throughout the country, in light of the hasty withdrawal of US and NATO forces after twenty years of presence in Afghanistan.

"This great victory came after countless sacrifices and challenges," Deputy Prime Minister and one of the founders of the Taliban, Abdul Ghani Baradar, wrote on Twitter.

"On this day... the Islamic Emirate, the global superpower and its allies, knelt, and the Afghans gained their independence," he added.

The withdrawal of foreign forces continued in disarray until August 31, as tens of thousands of civilians flocked in panic to the capital's only airport, seeking to board whatever plane was available.

The world followed in amazement the crowds flocking to board the planes parked on the runway and how some climbed onto a plane or clung to a US military cargo plane during takeoff.

"We fulfilled the duty of jihad and liberated our country," said Nematollah Hekmat, a Taliban fighter who entered Kabul that day, a few hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

"It is a day of victory and happiness for Afghan Muslims and the Afghan people. It is the day of conquest and victory of the white flag" of the Islamic Emirate, wrote Taliban government spokesman Bilal Karimi on Twitter.

Monday was declared a public holiday.

Dozens of officers took pictures of themselves in Ahmed Shah Massoud Square, a large intersection decorated with large white flags of the Islamic Emirate, across from the former US embassy and leading to the airport, according to AFP photographer's observations.
And they chanted, during a spontaneous gathering in this square, "Long live the Islamic Emirate! God is great!"
A year later, Taliban fighters are glad to see their movement in power, while humanitarian agencies warn of grinding poverty affecting half of the country's 38 million people.
"When we entered Kabul, and when the Americans left, those were moments of joy," added Nematullah Hikmat, who is now a member of the special forces tasked with guarding the presidential palace.

But for ordinary Afghans, especially women, the return of the Taliban has only added to the difficulties.

Despite the promises they made in the beginning, the country's new rulers soon returned to imposing their strict interpretation of Islamic law that characterized their previous rule between 1996 and 2001 and severely restricted women's rights.

On the streets of the capital, Kabul, traffic was light and the population was quiet, except for the passage of trucks carrying armed Taliban elements carrying the flags of the Islamic Emirate, as was also seen in Kandahar, the Taliban's historic stronghold in the south of the country.

Some women dressed in burqas walked through the streets of Kandahar, carrying the emirate's flags.

However, women were largely excluded from government jobs and prohibited from traveling alone outside the cities in which they lived.
And in March, the Taliban banned girls from attending middle and high schools just hours after they reopened under a decision announced some time ago.

In early May, the Taliban's supreme commander, Hebatullah Akhundzada, ordered women to wear full-face veils in public. The Taliban have made it clear that they would prefer women to wear the burqa, but would tolerate other forms of veiling that reveal only the eyes.

"Since the day they arrived, life has lost its meaning... Everything has been taken from us, even our personal space," says Ogai Amail, a resident of Kabul.

On Saturday, Taliban gunmen with rifle butts and bullets dispersed a demonstration organized by about forty women to demand the right to work and education.

On Monday, about thirty of these demonstrators gathered at the house of one of them, and posted pictures on social media with slogans such as "Afghanistan's history is ashamed of closing schools."

"Our demand for justice was silenced with gunshots, but today we demand it from inside our house," protester Manisa Mubarez said in a text message to reporters.

Although Afghans acknowledge the decline in violence with the end of the war since the Taliban came to power, many Afghans are suffering deeply as a result of an acute economic and humanitarian crisis.

"People who come to our shops complain so much about the high prices that we shopkeepers start to hate what we do," said Noor Mohammad, a shopkeeper from Kandahar, the Taliban's historic birthplace and center of power in the south of the country.

But for the Islamist military, the joy of victory overshadows the current economic crisis.

One of them says, "We may be poor, we may be facing difficulties, but the white flag of Islam will fly high forever in Afghanistan."
