The complaint was filed in Coch-ise County, Arizona, against Stan-hope and 20 unnamed individuals associated with the comedian.

The lawsuit demands a jury trial and says that Heard would donate all proceeds to a battered women’s shelter in Arizona.

Representatives for Stanhope and Depp did not immediately re-spond to requests for comment.

The complaint is in response to a May 29 guest column by Stanhope published on entertainment trade outlet TheWrap.com and headlined

“Johnny Depp Is Being Black-mailed by Amber Heard - Here’s How I Know.”

Stanhope, who said he was a friend of Depp’s, wrote that Depp had told him that Heard was leaving him and “threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every pos-sible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to her terms.”

“Blackmail is what I would imagine other people might put it, including the manner in which he is now being vilified,” Stanhope wrote.

Lawyers for Heard called Stan-hope’s comments, detailed in the complaint, “completely false and highly defamatory.”

The lawsuit is the latest step in the increasingly acrimonious split between Heard, 30, and Depp, 52, who had been married for 15 months.

Heard filed for divorce from Depp in Los Angeles last month, citing irreconcilable differences, and obtained a temporary restrain-ing order against the actor.

She said in court papers that Depp had been abusive to her throughout their relationship, cul-minating in a May 21 argument during which he hurled a cell phone at her face and shattered objects in her apartment.

The documents included photos of the actress with a bruised eye that she said she sustained in the incident. Heard later gave a state-ment to Los Angeles police in which she accused Depp of domestic violence.

Depp, one of Hollywood’s top stars and box office draws, is cur-rently touring with his band Hol-lywood Vampires in Europe and is scheduled to perform in Bucharest, Romania, on Monday.

The actor’s 17-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Lily-Rose Depp, supported her father on Instagram last week, posting a photo captioning her father as “the sweetest most loving person I know.” (rtr)

Amber Heard sues comedian Stanhope for

defamation over Johnny DeppLOS ANGELES - Lawyers for actress Amber Heard filed a

defamation lawsuit against comedian Doug Stanhope on Fri-day after he wrote an article accusing her of blackmailing and manipulating her estranged husband, actor Johnny Depp.

Manabu Takehara, a spokesman for the Self-Defense Forces, said the boy “looked in good health”, adding that he was taken to hospital by heli-copter for a medical check. Military officials expressed admiration for the boy’s perseverance.

Yamato’s father, Takayuki Ta-nooka, says he is sorry for what he did The building where he was found was a long way from where he had

disappeared and involved a rigorous uphill climb.

Yamato was dehydrated and had minor scratches on his arms and feet, but no serious health risks were found, according to a doctor who examined him.

Speaking outside the hospital, the boy’s father apologised and thanked rescuers who took part in the search. Takayuki Tanooka said: “My exces-

sive act forced my son to have a painful time. “I deeply apologise to people at his school, people in the rescue operation, and everybody for causing them trouble.”

According to the police spokes-man, the boy “walked through the mountains” until he found the army building, broadcaster NHK report-ed.

He also reportedly drank water and slept on mattresses spread on the floor. The soldier who found him gave him two rice balls, which the 7-year-old ate ravenously. He looked a bit worn out but was “genki,” the military said, using a Japanese word

describing healthy children.Army personnel, emergency ser-

vices and volunteers had been search-ing for the boy since Saturday.

His parents initially said they had lost him when they were out hiking to gather wild vegetables. They subse-quently admitted they made him get out of their car on a mountain road for misbehaving.

The boy was abandoned on the northern side of the road on a slope of Mount Komagatake, which rises to an altitude of 1,131 metres (3,710 feet). He was reportedly without food. Po-lice have said they are considering fil-ing charges against the boy’s parents,

according to Kyodo News.The boy’s safe return has been was

welcomed in Japan, which has been riveted by the story. The country has also undergone intense soul-searching about how it raises and disciplines its children. (ap)

A number of transportation observers at-tended the d i scuss ion on sustain-

ab le deve l -opment in Bali

organized by the alumni of the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS) recently. Many transportation problems in Bali were revealed ranging from the ‘failure’ of public transportation to the length of road freight trans-portation.

Land Transportation Division Head at the Bali Transportation Agency, Standly JE Suwandhi, affirmed that public transporta-tion in Bali needs improvement to achieve the ideal figure of 70 percent for public transportation so that it can make it more ef-

ficient. So far, the figure of Bali is below 50 percent.

The public transport cost is even much more expensive reach-ing 3.5 times compared to that of private car and 1.9 times of a motorcycle. Here, it is required the transportation demand man-

agement (TDM) because the key to transportation efficiency lies in the public transport. The ratio is that two buses can carry 50 private vehicles.

Public transport ’fails,’ freight transport too long

COVER STORYIt is dangerous when private

vehicles and goods run together. To that end, operating hours of the transportation management needs to be regulated where heavy ve-hicles are set in the afternoon and night only. However, the problem lies in the authority because regu-lating the hours of operation should wait for the decree of the Director General of Land Transportation (central government). “When pro-posed, it cannot certainly be issued within a year,” he said.

He admitted that Trans Sarbagita bus is unable to grow because the

corridor and its feeders cannot develop optimally so that people have difficulty to get transportation services. Of the seven proposed corridors, only two corridors can be approved and operated.

Necessarily, it needs 109 buses. Currently there are only approxi-mately 20 buses. In the meantime, the bus procurement highly de-pends on the central government and is not in accordance with the road conditions in Bali.

Dr. I Wayan Suweda, a trans-portation expert who is also the ITS alumni, admitted to be scared for the transportation condition in Bali. He criticized the construction of roads carried out at random. He mentioned that the development

of Bali Mandara toll road is not included in the regional spatial plan (RTRW) while it only includes the bridge at Benoa. This happens due to the policies of central govern-ment.

We need a master plan of short-, middle- and long-term guidance for our transportation development in Bali. If there is a new road it must be followed by the transportation system namely the vehicles and rules. Here it is required an inte-grated transportation management. It can be done by increasing the ca-pacity of the existing roads, giving priority to public transportation and reducing the growth of vehicles.

Chief of the ITS Alumni for Bali Region, I Wayan Mahardika, stated

that urgent needs to be addressed by the Bali Province is cutting off the long and winding land trans-portation line of goods. So, he considered the need to build the road transportation of goods from South Bali to North Bali by mak-ing shortcut to winding turns. “The street is more urgent than creating an airport in Buleleng,” he said.

He gave a solution that road transportation of people and goods to Buleleng can be engineered with advanced technology in the form of underground road like in Japan. In the meantime, building an airport will only serve passenger transpor-tation. Actually cheap and quick transportation of goods is needed to build the economy of Bali.

The Assessment Division Head at the Bali Transportation Agency, Dawan Arya, justified that Bali is currently planning the construction of airport, toll road and road on the scout from Denpasar to Buleleng. The budget has been formatted in the amended regional budget. To him, the three aspects are important to facilitate the transportation of passengers and goods in Bali.

In the meantime, John criti-cized that the government should act quickly and decisively in ar-ranging the development because every time opening new road it is always be coupled with slums. He suggested to repair the existing roads first and then creates a new road. (sue)

Super Easy Ways for My TAUZIA Privilege Members to Earn Free Night Stays

The plan to create a parking lot on the vacant land at Penginu-man was expected to be finished by now. Many drivers have been complaining about not being able to move forward onto Java. Taxi services are now flourishing as a means to transport the freight form overcapacity vehicles. The cost of the taxi service depends on how much merchandise is be-ing moved.

“One car worth of goods costs about IDR 75,000 to move, but it depends on the goods and can be negotiated”, said one of the taxi service providers. It is much faster to move goods this way and Ge-lung Kori entrance gates are filled with such transactions everyday.

“It is much better to use this service rather than wait for so long, especially when the goods have to be at the Badung market

this morning”, said Kariadi, a pick-up driver from Banyuwangi.

Actually there is already enough land to create a cargo terminal near the GElung Kori gates and the initial stages of construction (lev-eling the land) have already been budgeted for this year.

I Ketut Subandi, a transporta-tion businessman, who is also a former member of parliament of the Jembrana House of Represen-tatives, hopes that people remain disciplined. Currently only the tonnage is being is taken into consideration there are also many related rules regarding vehicle dimensions (length and height of

the body), chassis and so forth that are thoroughly applied in Java and Sumatera.

“Things should be consistent, so that we are not play cat and mouse. Before being weighed, trucks are unloaded, then after passing the weighbridge the goods are loaded again. It is equally exceeding tonnage” he said on Friday (Jun. 3).

Subandi said that the new cargo terminal is one solution But there must be a guarantee that the goods unloaded or detained are secure. “Who is responsible if the goods are scratched or damaged? This must also be considered,” he

explained. Chief of Cekik Weighbridge

Unit, I Ketut Suhartana, recently said that prosecution with this pattern will continue as long as the rules have not been revoked. “When we do it, there is no prob-lem regarding the line. There is no complaint from residents as well, rather they expect to wait in line” he said.

According to Suhartana, cargo trucks and cars parked at the lo-cation that know that they are in violation are scared. He also hopes that the new cargo terminal will soon be completed so as to accom-modate all the trucks. (kmb26)

NEGARA - Trucks are still being forced to park on the side of the road as they wait for the Cekik weighbridge to open in Gilimanuk. SO many trucks line the road that the queue reaches nearly all the way to the harbour, so some people have taken the initiative of providing taxi services to move smaller goods.

APPLEBY - The Appleby horse fair, in Appleby-in-Westmorland, northern England, is the biggest an-nual gypsy and traveller gathering in Europe. Held in Cumbria during the first week of June, many arrive in traditional green-top, or bowtop wagons.The lines and lines of bowtop wagons draws people from

all over the world. There were 191 horse-drawn (wagons) last year. There’s the horses being washed down in the river, then there’s the flash, where they flash [race] the horses up and down. It’s a danger-ous place. You’ve got to have your wits about you with horses travel-ling at 30mph.

A group of Travellers making their way towards the Appleby fair on the busy A66 stops for the day. At an overnight wayside just off the road they exercise their cobs, rest and relax before setting off on the final leg of their journey.

RSPCA inspectors Dale Grant,

with red helmet, and Matt Sacks check the river Eden for debris before the first horses are brought in for washing. Sacks says: ‘We’re just sweeping the river near the area where the horses are taken in by the travellers. There are all sorts of haz-ards swept downstream between each fair … railings, broken glass

etc. We’re monitoring the horses taken in and out of the river making sure they’re not sick or injured.

For many, the fair is primary an opportunity to trade horses. The sellers race and ride their horses along flash lane to allow prospec-tive buyers to assess their form and fitness. (IBP/net)

SEMARAPURA - Plastic waste does not eas-ily decompose in soil and has become a major threat to our environment and human health. In the hands of 60 year old I Dewa Gede Lasia however, this very same plastic can be turned into usable crafted products such as bags and mats. The process of transforming the garbage into goods that can be used everyday is quite particular, but Lasia is determined.

This man from Batununggul village, Nusa Penida, said that he first learned to weave baskets as a child but that it was not until he retired from being a civil servant for Klungkung’s

Education Agency earlier this year, that he started processing plastic into crafts. Processing the waste from start to finish is lengthy process and as Lasia explained, he has taken him 5 months to produce hi sfirst bag and mat. “ So far this crafting is for my own private use, but if possible, if I have the opportunity I would like to start marketing these products”, he said.

The plastic waste that he uses in the process is mostly from coffee packages and tetra packs. He was first in-spired to do something when he saw how much garbage was accumulating in this surroundings. This grandfather of four now makes several different products by weaving the plastic packaging together. “ I couldn’t just do noth-ing, I felt I had to do something”, he said. (kmb)

SINGARAJA - The effort to improve sanitation of plastic waste in the coastal area of Lovina Beach, Kalibukbuk, is intensified by a number of tour-ism fishermen. Sanitation is an important aspect for local and foreign travelers to Lovina Beach having been famous around the world. Unfortunately the marine plastic debris taken by underwa-ter currents often disturbs fisher-men and eventually contaminates the beach indirectly.

The travelers making a visit to see dolphin attraction is fairly stable within the past few weeks. However, collection of the plastic waste from the sea area often disrupts the activity of travelers wishing to enjoy the charm of Lovina Beach. “A number of foreign travelers when watch-ing dolphin attraction are quite annoyed and complained about why the sea is used to litter plastic waste. When dirty, it is feared that fish in the sea could be polluted by the waste,” said the Leader of the Tourism Fishermen Group of Lovina, Putu Budista, Friday (Jun. 3).

Lovina as a leading tourist destination in North Bali receives plastic marine debris coming from the underwater currents in various coastal areas every year. In rainy season, the piles of

plastic waste spread everywhere and are difficult to be cleaned up. Moreover, fishermen do not have adequate tools. “The most severe pollution due to marine debris happens in rainy season. Only the human personal consciousness can change the attitude of disci-pline not to throw garbage into the sea. Sometimes guests also complain to me when watching dolphins because garbage sud-denly emerges from the bottom of the sea and then comes ashore to the coast,” he added.

In the future, it is required a special pattern in dealing with plastic waste in the ocean and avoiding the crowds of dolphins from consuming contaminated garbage. The synergy made by the government of Buleleng through the Buleleng plastic waste-free program should be applied to each line of people’s life. “Sanitation through the gov-ernment program should be built through more synergies with the community. It is based on con-sideration that tourism fishermen rely on their life from escorting guests to watch dolphins. I have observed a number of villages in Buleleng having awareness of the importance of keeping sanitation from plastic waste by charging waste levies every month,” he said. (kmb34)

On the last day of Asia’s biggest security summit, Admiral Sun Jian-guo said China will not be bullied, including over a pending interna-tional court ruling over its claims in the vital trade route.

“We do not make trouble, but we have no fear of trouble,” Sun told the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singa-pore, where more than 600 security, military and government delegates had gathered over three days.

“China will not bear the con-sequences, nor will it allow any infringement on its sovereignty and security interest, or stay indifferent to some countries creating chaos in the South China Sea.”

The waterway has become a flashpoint between the United States, which increased its focus on the Asia-Pacific under President Ba-rack Obama’s “pivot”, and China, which is projecting ever greater economic, political and military power in the region.

The two have traded accusa-tions of militarising the waterway as Beijing undertakes large-scale land reclamation and construction on disputed features while Wash-ington has increased its patrols and exercises.

On Saturday, top U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned China of the risk of isolating itself internationally and pledged to remain the main guaran-tor of Asian security for decades.

Despite repeated notes of con-cern from countries such as Japan, India, Vietnam and South Korea, Sun rejected the prospect of isola-tion, saying that many of the Asian countries at the gathering were “warmer” and “friendlier” to China than a year ago. China had 17 bilat-eral meetings this year, compared with 13 in 2015.

“We were not isolated in the past, we are not isolated now and we will not be isolated in the future,”

Sun said.“Actually I am worried that

some people and countries are still looking at China with the Cold War mentality and prejudice. They may build a wall in their minds and end up isolating themselves.”

During a visit to Mongolia on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged Beijing not to establish an air defence identifica-tion zone over the South China Sea, as it did over the East China Sea in 2013.

Kerry, who will visit China next, said an ADIZ would be “a provoca-tive and destabilising act”, which would question Beijing’s commit-ment to diplomatically manage the dispute.

The South China Sea is expected to feature prominently at annual high-level China-U.S. talks start-ing in Beijing on Monday, also at-tended by U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

U.S. concerns about Chinese trade policy and the difficulty foreign businesses say they face operating in China will add to what will likely be difficult discussions. (rtr)

SINGAPORE - The South China Sea dispute and worries about North Korea dominated an Asian security summit at the week-end, but cybersecurity was also in focus as regional officials sought to improve coordination amid a rise in high-profile hacks.

Alarmed by the theft of $81 million from Bangladesh’s cen-tral bank in February, one of the world’s biggest ever cyber heists, cybersecurity was among the top concerns discussed at Singapore’s annual Shangri-La Dialogue. For the first time, the conference allot-ted one of its six special sessions to cybersecurity.

“It was indicative that cyber has converted from being a logical threat to a physical threat,” said William Saito, special adviser to the Japanese cabinet on IT strategy. For Japan, safeguarding critical infra-structure was imperative, especially since it is the host for the 2020 Olympics, and cybersecurity was a large part of that effort, he said.

“Cyber, because it is so cross-cutting, will just make existing threats worse,” Saito said.

Cybercriminals, whether from criminal gangs or rogue nations, usually operated beyond borders, the meeting was told.

“Where restrictions differ, they exploit these differences in order to take advantage of our national systems,” said David Koh, chief executive of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore.

“We cannot defend or view cyber threats or issues within any national borders or within a re-gional border.”

In the February heist, hackers stole money from Bangladesh

Bank’s account at the New York Federal Reserve. One transfer to a Sri Lankan entity was reversed, but four transfers for $81 million went to the Philippines and wound up with casinos and casino agents there.

Most of the money remains missing and the identity of the hackers is unknown.

India, with nearly 500 million Internet users, is preparing to set up an army of 500,000 cybersleuths within five years, a delegate from New Delhi said at the conference.

“That can provide a bulwark for global cybersecurity efforts,” said Santosh Jha, joint secretary for cyber issues at the Indian external affairs ministry.

Building a transnational cyberse-curity defence system is hampered by differences between countries and a lack of trust, delegates said. For instance, Western nations were focused on safeguarding the infrastructure of cyberspace while China and Russia were concerned about content.

Also, rival nations use cyber techniques for espionage and po-tentially for sabotage. After years of acrimony and allegations of cyber-spying, senior U.S. and China cyber officials held their first meeting last month since the two countries struck an anti-hacking agreement in September.

“You have permanent members of the U.N. Security Council com-ing to the table with fundamentally different objectives, it probably isn’t a surprise that the accomplish-ments to date have been modest,” said Sean Kanuck, a former U.S. National Intelligence Officer for Cyber Issues. (rtr)

“Such incidents can have a nega-tive impact on the image of tourism in Bali, especially when the victim is a tourist. Other tourists may be reluctant to visit Bali if they do not feel safe coming here”, said the Spokesman of Bali Police, Hery Wiyanto, Friday (Jun. 3).

Wiyanto revealed there are certain hotels have already been verified in terms of their security standards, physical condition of the hotel and their security systems.. When guests enter a hotel they need to be examined from the entrance gate. “If the hotel does adequate assessment of who is coming in , there should not be such criminal incidents. It is the responsibility

of the hotel to ensure that their guests are safe and this includes their lobby. Private security of-ficers should be a priority”, said the former spokesperson for the Bengkulu Police.

IN this most recent case, Wiyan-to considers that the hotel’s security system is very weak therefore the Bali Police -through the Directorate of Security for Vital Objects, will summon the hotel to check their safety standards.

“Necessarily, the hotel must be responsible for security within the area of the hotel. Hotel managers obviously hope for many guests but if they cannot ensure their security there is no point”, he said.

Any hotel found to be lacking in terms of physical security systems, food, fire hydrants or other essen-tial aspects, will be reprimanded by the provincial police. Hotel secu-rity standards require the presence of competent and qualified security guards, he added. “We look into how security guards are recruited for example and whether they are certified security guards or they just do the best they can? Are the hotel’s security officers competent and do they have the ability to take anticipative measures?”, he asked.

Domestic tourist, 23 year old Mega Lisa Surya Putra, filed a report with the South Kuta Police on Saturday (May 28) explaining that her purse had been snatched in the lobby of the hotel located in the area of Mumbul after retun-ing from an event in the city. An unidentified man standing in the

lobby suddenly grabbed her purse as she walked passed him. The victim was extremely shocked asd was not able to keep a grip on her bag. Her bag containing cash worth IDR 800,000, credit cards, a smartphone and a make up bag.. As a result of the incident, the victim claimed to suffer losses worth IDR 80 million.

A similar case occurred in Taman Mumbul, Nusa Dua last April when 40 year old Mirda-waty Mohamad’s hotel room was robbed.

BANGLI - Currently civet is no longer considered as disturbing animal frequently preying on live-stock. But this animal classified into omnivore is now being pur-chased and maintained primarily by the civet coffee producers.

One of the civet coffee pro-ducers is I Wayan Jamin. To pro-duce civet coffee, he can look after up to 50 heads of civet. His civets are let go wild at his coffee plantations. “I release my civets in the garden freely because the quality of coffee produced is better than that of captive civet,” he said.

By and large, the number of his civet will be increased when ap-proaching or when the coffee har-vest season lasts like this June.

In general, there are seven types of civet looked after by farmers or civet lovers. How-ever, of the seven types of civet, Jamin admitted that all this time he prefers to look after more pandanus civets.

Since the need for civet is difficult to be supplied locally, all this time the civet is ac-quired from outside the region. He bought each civet at IDR 200,000-IDR 300,000. He ad-mitted to prefer civets from outside the region because it is more voracious and has bigger posture. Each day the civet can gobble up to five kilograms of coffee bean. “Usually local civet can only gobble up to 1.5 kilo-grams,” he added. (kmb40)

Purse snatching in hotel lobby threatens image of tourism in Bali

DENPASAR - As an international tourist destination, secu-rity is certainly a top priority for Bali. South Kuta Police will therefore be summoning the management of a hotel in Mumbul to investigate their security system after a 23 year-old student from Samarinda had her purse snatched in their lobby.

Critics warn that the policy would explode the state budget. The Swiss government itself advises voters to reject the proposal, and polls suggest it will fail in a country known for free-market policies and a high-tech, capitalistic financial sector.

Proponents, however, insist the time has come for a minimum month-ly wage as sweeping 21st-century economic changes like robots dis-placing factory workers make jobs more precarious in the digital age. They say they’re seeking momentum more than outright victory. Polls have suggested that only about one-quarter of Swiss voters back the idea.

Still, the initiative cleared the bar for a vote, which in Switzerland’s direct democracy means garnering at least 100,000 signatures in a petition drive. It is one of five issues on the ballot Sunday, including efforts to raise money for public services and simplify the application procedures for asylum-seekers.

Universal basic income might seem like souped-up welfare but proponents say it’s actually aimed to supplant welfare. Advocates in Swit-

zerland and other European countries also examining the idea say current welfare systems are overburdened by red tape, deterring many potential beneficiaries from applying.

The novelty of unconditional basic income is that everybody would get it automatically. It would be a floor: Salaried workers who earn more than 2,500 francs a month would get no extra money.

Under a proposed model, each child would get one-quarter of the total for adults — about 625 francs per month — a sum higher than state child-care outlays for families today.

Possible ways of paying for it would include fees on salaries of people who earn more than the mini-mum, savings from welfare programs that would be discontinued and taxes or spending cuts in the state budget.

Switzerland’s basic income push is among the most advanced in Europe. The Dutch city of Utrecht wants to start a two-year experiment with a similar plan, handing money to residents who already receive welfare benefits.

Ralph Kundig, president of the Swiss chapter of the Basic Income Earth Network, said some econo-mists favored the idea as a way to underpin consumption and support the economy.

“Our parents, grandparents and beyond worked hard so that we could produce more by working less, with machines and so forth,” Kundig said. “The only thing that they did not foresee was that this wealth would only benefit the owners of the means of production.” Kundig said studies and pilot projects show people wouldn’t just sit at home and do nothing.

“Basic income is much more of a stimulant to employment and the economic activity of a country,” he said, adding it would increase entre-preneurship because people would be less afraid about losing jobs and more willing to take risks.

But an association of mostly small businesses in the southwestern Swiss region of Valais region, UVAM, is among the many voices calling for voters to reject the proposal, writing on its Web site: “No bread without work.” It lambasted the basic income proposal as “an absolute danger, be-cause it’s the perfect negation of the virtue of work” that would entrench a dependent class and cost 208 billion francs per year.

“Without wealth, here’s no redis-tribution, because money doesn’t fall from the sky,” the group wrote.(ap)

Handout or no? Swiss mull $2,500 monthly income for all

Banks and other financial companies led a modest decline in U.S. stocks Fri-day after a report indicating that hiring slowed sharply in May put investors in a selling mood.

The market slide snapped a two-day winning streak and sent bond prices surging as investors sought safety in U.S. government-backed debt. The dollar also fell sharply against several major currencies.

The downbeat jobs data appeared to convince traders that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low longer than previously expected. It also stirred concerns that the economy is slowing.

“What we don’t want to see is this number as a beginning of a series of weaker data,” said Quincy Krosby,

a market strategist at Prudential Fi-nancial. “That’s going to affect the market.”

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 31.50 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,807.06. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 6.13 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,099.13. The Nasdaq composite index gave up 28.85 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,942.52.

The Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added only 38,000 jobs in May, the lowest amount in five years. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent from 5 percent, but mainly because about half a million unemployed people stopped looking for work.

Separate reports out Friday also showed a mixed snapshot of the econ-omy. The Institute of Supply Manage-

ment said U.S. services firms grew in May at the slowest pace in more than two years, while the Commerce De-partment said orders to U.S. factories rose in April by the largest amount in six months.

The weak hiring data fueled specula-tion that the Fed will hold off on raising its key interest rate this summer, some-thing Wall Street was anticipating could happen as soon as July. That weighed on banks and financial services companies, as low interest rates make it harder for banks to make money from loans.

ETrade Financial slumped $1.44, or 5.1 percent, to $26.69, while Charles Schwab lost $1.62, or 5.3 percent, to $29.22. Bank of America fell 52 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $14.42. Citigroup slid $1.58, or 3.4 percent, to $45.39.(ap)

US stocks, dollar slide after weak jobs report

GENEVA — Would you accept about $2,500 from your government every month, no questions asked? Swiss voters get a choice Sunday in a referendum that, while not specifying a figure, asks if they want “unconditional basic income.” Experts estimate a minimum of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,560) per month is needed for an individual to make ends meet in wealthy Swit-zerland, where private-sector health insurance is required and the cost of living is sky-high.

“We have detained the suspects, along with the hashish, at the Langkat district police station for further investigation,” chief of the Langkat district polices narcotic unit Adjunct Commissioner Su-priyadi Yantoto said on Saturday.

The suspects were arrested when police conducted a raid on Trans Sumatra highway.

The police stopped a minivan in front of the Besitang police pre-cinct on the highway and asked the driver to show his driving license

and vehicle license.While the police were checking

the driving license and vehicle li-cense, the suspects drove away. But they were later arrested from an area that fell within the jurisdiction of Tanjungpura police precinct.

“While police personnel were checking the minivan, they found 150 kilograms of hashish con-tained in six sacks,” he said.

The three suspects were identi-fied by their initials as D (27), a resident of Gayo Luas in Aceh, and his two girl friends, identified by their initials as SS (21) and AS (15), both residents of Medan, cap-ital of North Sumatra province.

If found guilty, the suspects may be sentenced to 20 years in jail, life term or even death pen-alty.(ant)

JAKARTA - The 6.5-magni-tude earthquake which rocked the western coastal area of Sumatra on Thursday destroyed 2,663 houses and 193 class rooms in West Su-matra and Bengkulu provinces, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).

Nearly 114 out of the 2,663 houses were severely damaged, 612 houses were moderately dam-aged and 1,909 houses suffered a light damage, Chief of the BNPB Information Center and Public Relations Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a press statement released

on Saturday.The earthquake also left an

80-year old man dead after he suffered a heart attack. Eighteen others suffered injuries in the ca-lamity, he added. “The man died when he felt the strong quake and then suffered cardiac arrest,” he stated.

The 18 residents were injured after debris fell on them while they were trying to rush outdoors, he explained.

The June 2 earthquake hit hardest the Pesisir Selatan dis-trict, West Sumatra province,

where 93 houses and 29 class rooms were severely damaged, 578 houses and 74 class rooms were moderately damaged and 1,801 houses suffered a light damage.

Some 100 residents who had fled their homes for fear of af-tershocks shortly after the 6.5-magnitude earthquake rattled the area have returned home.

In Mukomuko district, Bengku-lu province, the earthquake caused major damage to 20 houses, mod-erate damage to 31 houses and light damage to 97 houses.

Acting chief of the West Suma-tra Provincial Disaster Mitigation Board (BPBD) Zulfiatno said on Friday the 6.5-magnitude earth-quake which rocked the province inflicted material losses running into an estimated Rp15.2 trillion. “The loss was mostly on account of the many buildings damaged in the quake,” he pointed out.

The quake was centered at 2.29 degrees south latitude and 100.46 degrees east longitude at a depth of 79 kilometers. West Sumatra is one of the quake-prone provinces in Indonesia.(ant)

JAKARTA - Mount Kerinci in Jambi, Sumatra, continued spewing thick smoke on Satur-day following a 6.5 magnitude quake in the southwestern coast on Thursday.

“After the quake the activity of Mount Kerinci is increas-ing. Since Friday grey smoke has been seen billowing from its peak up to 500 meter high eastward and westward,” the spokesman of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), Sutopo Purwo Nu-groho, said in a press release received here.

According to the Volcanol-ogy and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) continuous tremor at an am-plitude of 0.5 millimeter to 2 millimeter or dominantly 1 mil-limeter has been recorded.

Sutopo said the amplitude was not too big compared to that during the eruption of Mount Bromo or Mount Raung which was at around 30 milli-meter. “It means it is not too big and so not worrying,” he said.

The eruption of Mount Ker-ince has caused thin ash rain in the village of Sungai Sikai and the village of Tangkil in the sub-district of Gunung Tujuh, Kerinci district, Jambi province.

It has happened tens of times and continuously. The dan-ger status has not been raised meaning it remains at Level II established since September 9, 2007. PVMBG has recom-mended against entering the three kilometer radius of the mountains crater.

“Mount Kerinci is the high-est in Sumatra which is at 3,805 meter above the sea level and in view of that planes are advised to avoid routes around Mount Kerinci,” Sutopo said.

He said people are advised to remain calm as no evacuation is needed as the red zone is still within a radius of three kilome-ters from the peak while the res-idential areas are around eight kilometers from the peak.

“People are safe and can carry out their daily activities normally. The regional office of disaster mitigation agencies of Kerinci district and Jambi prov-ince as well as other elements have already prepared contin-gency plans in case increasing activity is recorded from the mountain,” he said.(ant)

Since Salman came to power early last year, and Tehran struck a nuclear deal with world powers, Riyadh has adjusted its strategy for countering the efforts of its Shi’ite Muslim rival to build influence in Africa, Asia and even Latin America.

Most notably, the Sunni power has used Muslim networks to push states into cutting off contacts with Iran, including by creating an Islamic Coalition against terrorism without inviting Tehran to join.

“Iran is the one that isolated itself by supporting terrorism,” Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a recent news conference. “That is why the world reacted to Iran, and particu-larly the Islamic world, and basically said ‘enough is enough’.”

Tehran denies it sponsors ter-rorism, and points to its record of fighting the Sunni Muslim militants of Islamic State through backing for

Shi’ite militias in Iraq and President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

Riyadh is alarmed by Tehran’s support for the Shi’ite Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, and cut off military aid to the Beirut government after it failed to condemn attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran. Likewise, Saudi forces have launched a war on Iranian-allied Houthi rebels in Yemen.

But all this is part of its long-standing diplomatic, economic and military efforts to contain what it sees as a pernicious expansion of Iranian activity in Arab nations. Now it is attempting to orchestrate support elsewhere, including from countries such as Pakistan and Malaysia through its creation last November of the coalition against terrorism.

“In many ways the dimensions of the competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia are beginning to

go beyond the Middle East. This is an interesting development that historically hasn’t been the case,” said Mehran Kamrava, a professor at Georgetown University-Qatar.

The strategy partly responds to implementation of the nuclear deal in January. Riyadh fears this will give Iran more scope to push its interests internationally by releasing it from many of the sanctions which have crippled its economy.

With even the United States now saying Western banks can resume legitimate business with Tehran, the Saudis believe their main Western ally is gradually disengaging from the region.

“They understand the old inter-national order is dead and they have to take responsibility,” said a senior diplomat in Riyadh.

But the strategy is also driven by King Salman’s belief that Iranian influence has grown only because nobody has stood up to it, said Mus-tafa Alani, an Iraqi security expert with close ties to the Saudi interior ministry. (rtr)

WASHINGTON - If Hillary Clinton ends up losing Califor-nia to Bernie Sanders, it will be because of voters like Nallely Perez.

Perez personifies what a Clin-ton supporter was supposed to look like: a 24-year-old Latina who grew up idolizing the former first lady as a groundbreaking woman in politics. But when she votes in California’s Democratic presidential nominating contest on Tuesday, Perez will be sup-porting Sanders.

“Everything that I would stand for, he has said it,” said Perez, a student at California State Uni-versity, Long Beach, who said she likes Sanders’ promises of tuition-free college and universal healthcare. “We found our voice in him.”

California is the final big con-test in the long, bitter fight for the Democratic nomination. Opinion polls show the Democratic race there tightening in recent weeks. Where Clinton, a former sec-retary of state, once held a big lead over Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, the two now are nearly tied.

A University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll released on Friday showed Sanders with a one-percentage-point lead over Clinton in the state, 44 to 43 percent, a swing from March when Clinton held a nine-point edge.

On the Republican side, Don-

ald Trump has earned the nomi-nation for the Nov. 8 election, and Clinton is close to capturing the number of delegates she needs to head the Democratic ticket. Her campaign expects that a win in New Jersey earlier on Tuesday will secure the nomination.

But a loss in a populous Dem-ocratic stronghold like California could lend credence to Trump’s claim that she is a weakened candidate.

“Clinton would like to go to the nominating convention with the wind at her back and tamp down the perception that she doesn’t excite Democrats,” said Rodell Mollineau, a Democratic strategist in Washington.

A Sanders victory will not clear the way to his nomination unless it triggers a defection by scores of superdelegates - party office-holders and officials - from Clinton’s camp, an unlikely outcome.

Sanders has vowed to use California as a springboard to the party convention in Philadelphia in July. A win, especially a big one, would validate the self-described democratic socialist’s decision to stay in the race to the end and give him leverage to influence Clinton’s policies and cabinet picks.

“The game he is playing is to be able to draw as many conces-sions as he can out of the party and the Clinton campaign,” Mol-lineau said. (rtr)

Ali, who had long suffered from Parkinson’s syndrome which impaired his speech and made the once-graceful athlete almost a prisoner in his own body, died on Friday at age 74.

The cause of death was septic shock due to unspecified natural causes, a family spokesman said on Saturday. Ali was admitted to a Phoenix-area hospital, Honor-Health, with a respiratory ailment on Monday.

“He’ll be remembered as a man of the world who spoke his mind and wasn’t afraid to take a chance and went out of his way to be a kind, benevolent individual that re-ally changed the world,” the family spokesman, Bob Gunnell, said at a news conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Despite Ali’s failing health, his youthful proclamation that he was “the greatest” rang true until the end for millions of people around the world who respected him for his cour-age both inside and outside the ring.

Along with a fearsome reputa-tion as a fighter, Ali spoke out

against racism, war and religious intolerance, while projecting an un-shakeable confidence that became a model for African-Americans at the height of the civil rights era and beyond.

Stripped of his world boxing crown for refusing to join the U.S. Army and fight in Vietnam, Ali returned in triumph by recapturing the title and starring in some of the sport’s most unforgettable bouts.

“I think when you talk about Muhammad Ali, as great an athlete, as great a boxer as he was, he was the greatest boxer of all time, he means so much more to the United States and the world,” said Ali’s long-time friend, boxing promoter Bob Arum.

“He was a transformative figure in our society.”

Bursting onto the boxing scene in the 1960s with a brashness that threatened many whites, Ali would come to be embraced by Americans of all races for his grace, integrity and disarming sense of humor.”In the end, he went from being reviled to being revered,” civil rights leader

the Rev. Jesse Jackson told CNN on Saturday.

Pam Dorrough, a tourist in New York’s Times Square, admired Ali’s refusal to apologize for what he believed.

“The confidence - and I know ev-erybody thought it was an arrogance about him - he always projected a confidence,” she said. “And he stood by that.”

President Barack Obama, the first African-American to reach the White House, said Ali was “a man who fought for us” and placed him in the pantheon of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela.

“His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail,” Obama said in a statement. “But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today.”

Ali’s daughter Maryum said on Saturday: “I am happy my father no longer struggles. He is in a better place. God is the greatest.”

In New York’s Harlem district, fans gathered outside the famous Apollo Theater, where a marquee paying tribute to Ali read: “The great-est of all time. 1942-2016.” (rtr)

PARIS - For a split second Gar-bine Muguruza stood wide-eyed and open mouthed as she seemed to have no clue if her lob had landed in -- but as she turned towards the VIP Box, the wild cheers proved she had dethroned Serena Williams to win the French Open title.

The 22-year-old Spaniard, who produced a pristine performance for an hour and 43 minutes on Saturday to deny Williams a 22nd major trophy with a 7-5 6-4 victory, was soon covered head-to-toe in clay after collapsing on to her back to celebrate her maiden grand slam triumph.

Her shirt, arms, white sweat-bands, cheeks and hair were all caked in red dirt but Muguruza did not care a jot as she became the first Spanish woman to hoist the Su-zanne Lenglen Cup since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1998.

“It (match point) was really weird. Serena was in front of the ball so I didn’t know if it was in or out,” said a beaming Mugu-

ruza, who was presented with the trophy by American great Billie Jean King.

“I looked at the umpire and he doesn’t want to say anything. I was like, ‘did I win Roland Garros?’

“When he said, ‘game, set, and match’...it was like ...no way. I won. It was amazing.”

Incredibly, the Caracas-born player had never claimed a clay-court title before winning what she called “the perfect final” on Saturday.

If she was the superstitious kind, she would have chosen not to flick through the record books -- as the last time a woman contested her first claycourt final in Paris, she got walloped 6-0 6-0 by an incumbent world number one.

Not only did Muguruza avoid suffering the same fate as Natasha Zvereva, who was humiliated by Steffi Graf in 1988, she did not even allow the current number one to win a set on Saturday. (rtr)

PASADENA — Neymar showed up at the Rose Bowl for Brazil’s Copa America opener against Ecuador, but was unable to influence his teammates from his luxury suite. Playing without its star attacker, Brazil was held to a scoreless draw with Ecuador on Saturday night in the Copa America opener for both teams at the Rose Bowl.

“We have to get better but watching the game we were only missing the score,” Brazil coach Dunga said. “The way we played, being our first game and playing against a good team, was well.”

Neymar skipped the tournament because he didn’t have permission from Barcelona to play in both Copa America as well as the Olympics in Rio in August.

Ecuador came the closest to scoring in front of the crowd of 53,158, but an apparent goal was waved off as the ball was ruled to have gone out of bounds before the shot. Ecuador coach Gustavo Quinteros was convinced that the goal should have counted.

On the play, Ecuador’s Miler Bolanos chased down a ball near the goal line on the right side of the penalty area. Bolanos slipped a ball to the front of the goal, and Brazil’s Alisson mishandled the ball and watched it bounce off his hands and into the goal. However, referee Julio Bascunan ruled that the ball crossed the goal line before Bolanos’ shot

and awarded Brazil a goal kick.“I saw it 25 times on video replay,” Quinteros said. “The

entire ball did not go out. About 75-80 percent of it went out.” Dunga meanwhile said he trusted his players’ account. “I couldn’t see anything,” Dunga said. “It was tough to view. The players who were close to the play said the ball went out.”

With the result, Peru finished the day atop Group B after a 1-0 victory over Haiti 1-0 in Seattle earlier Saturday. Group B play resumes Wednesday as Brazil plays Haiti in Orlando while Ecuador will meet Peru in Glendale, Arizona.

Managing the roster has proven to be a challenge for Dunga as he was without several name players aside from Neymar. Bayern Munich’s Douglas Costa and Orlando City’s Kaka, a former FIFA Player of the Year were among the play-ers ruled out due to injury. With many of the players having played nearly non-stop for the better part of a year, Dunga said it is no mystery why the roster was limited.

“This is a problem that we need to find a solution for,” he said. “It’s the end of the season for the players. They are very tired from their trips and there were a lot of injuries because of that. But players that are here are very motivated. We definitely believe in these players.”

The draw maintained Brazil’s dominance over Ecuador in Copa America. Brazil is 12-0-2 against Ecuador in the tournament. Ecuador came out on the attack and held the ball for most of the first five minutes and threatened the Brazilian goal in the fifth minute, when Enner Valencia sent a shot wide.

Brazil won more of the possession after that early spell. Ecuador goalkeeper Esteban Dreer turned away Brazil’s first dangerous opportunity, stopping Phillipe Coutinho’s shot from six yards out.

Determined and finding space, Brazil continued to pres-sure Ecuador but could not get the ball into any positions of danger. Jonas’ header in the 15th minute and Coutinho’s shot from 25 yards out two minutes later may have put some fear into Ecuador, but each went wide.

Casemiro picked up a yellow card in the 18th minute for elbowing Enner Valencia while both leaped to try and win a header.

After standing its ground, Ecuador won more of the ball in the final 15 minutes of the first half and put Brazil on its heels. Forced to defend hastily, Brazil reacted with a pair of cau-tions in a three-minute span. First, Elias took down Jefferson Montero after Ecuador countered following Brazil’s corner kick. Valencia was unable to capitalize on the ensuing free kick, placing his shot directly at goalkeeper Alisson. Brazil earned another caution when Gil tripped Valencia after the Ecuadorian fouled him.

Fouls dominated the early moments of the second half. Ecuador’s Arturo Mina picked up Ecuador’s first yellow card of the match two minutes after the intermission after fouling Coutinho.

Ecuador picked up two more yellow cards in the second half, with Valencia and Jaime Ayovi earning cautions for reckless fouls.

Brazil’s Dani Alves donned the captain’s armband, re-placing club teammate Neymar with the captaincy. Even without Neymar or Douglas Costa, Brazil’s lineup was still formidable. Seven of the starters play in Europe, with the likes of Coutinho (Liverpool), Willian (Chelsea) and Casemiro (Real Madrid) on the field. (ap)

SEATTLE — Paolo Guerrero scored and Peru dodged a chance in stoppage time to hold on for a 1-0 victory over Haiti on Saturday night in their Group B opener in Copa America.

Guerrero — the leading scorer of the last two Copa America tourna-ments — found the back of the net with a diving header, off the bend-ing feed from Edison Flores, from the top of the 6-yard box in the 61st minute.

Guerrero became Peru’s career leader with 27 goals, breaking Teo-filo Cubillas’ record set in the 1978 World Cup.

Haiti, which had just five shots, saw its best chance of the match slip away in the 94th minute. Kervens Belfort made a run at goal but his header — off a perfectly placed free kick by Jeff Louis — from about three yards outs was wide right. It was the last play before the full-time whistle. (ap)

PARIS — As with all modern sporting mega-events and their hosts, Euro 2016 will be a mirror for contemporary France: The reflection could be beautiful, ugly, or most likely a mix of both.

Befitting the world’s sixth largest economy, the bricks and mortar for a successful tournament have been ready for months. New, refurbished or already magnificent stadiums in nine host cities stand as advertisements for French en-gineering and savoir faire.

The same is true of the high-speed rail network and cross-coun-try web of “autoroute” highways that should make it a breeze for fans to travel to the 51 matches, soaking up the natural beauty in between. No more sleeping rough on airport floors for overpriced red-eye flights like in World Cup hosts Brazil in 2014 and South Africa in 2010, and Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland and Ukraine.

Indeed, these relatively com-pact Euros will be the last fan-friendly soccer tournament for a while. The 2018 World Cup, spread across Russia’s vast ex-panses, and Euro 2020, dispersed confetti-like across 12 countries from Azerbaijan to Ireland, will be made for television (and, by extension, advertisers), with too many geographic and bureaucratic obstacles to enable herds of fans to easily migrate from one match to another, as they will in France, wining and dining as they go. “Un autre verre, si’il vous plait?” —

another glass, please? — should be the only French phrase many of them need from June 10-July 10, if all goes well. But.

Because in France, there is almost always a but, a “oui, mais” — complications that derive from the fact that despite its generous love of simple pleasures, France is also a complex and quarrelsome place, with social, economic and racial fault lines that often spill into the streets.

As ill-luck would have it, the 552 players on 24 teams and their supporters are walking into the lat-est French fisticuffs. This one, like many before it, is essentially a dis-pute over the French way of life. It again pits the government — so-

cialist, this time — against unions opposed to efforts to weaken them and liberalize workplaces.

Like their parents and grand-parents before them, a new genera-tion of malcontents is using the op-portunity to cut its teeth in the art of protest, talking politics through the night, hurling paving stones, and inhaling police tear gas.

So far, transport strikes and gas shortages over the govern-ment’s labor reforms have been disruptive rather than crippling. Their impact on Euro 2016 will become clear only as the tourna-ment unfolds, and could depend on whether the opposing sides compromise or harden their posi-tions. (ap)

LONDON - American investors Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan have completed their takeover of Swansea City, subject to Premier League approval, the Welsh club said on Sunday.

A statement on the Swansea website (www.swanseacity.net) said the investment consortium led by the two businessmen had acquired a “controlling majority” of the shares after lengthy negotiations.

The BBC reported that the 100 million pound ($145.18 million) deal was for 60 percent of the club, who finished last season in 12th position in the league. Swansea said the shareholding of the club’s Supporters’ Trust, who have a 21 percent stake and a representative on the board, would remain unaf-fected.

Several existing shareholders will retain smaller stakes and chair-man Huw Jenkins, who remains in

charge of the day-to-day running of the club in an executive role, will “maintain an ownership stake”.

Swansea said the takeover was expected to be fully sanctioned by the Premier League in the coming weeks. Levien is the managing general owner of Washington-based Major League Soccer side DC United while Kaplan is executive vice-chairman of the Memphis Grizzlies NBA basketball franchise in the United States.

“Both see the takeover of Swan-sea City as an exciting opportunity for long-term growth in the club in every area,” the club said. Swansea were promoted to the top flight in 2011 and are managed by Italian Francesco Guidolin.

Their Liberty Stadium, cur-rently owned by the city council, is the second smallest in the Premier League with a capacity of just under 21,000.

The Supporters’ Trust said in an earlier statement that they had been assured the purchase of shares by the new owners would be paid for from the consortium’s own funds and there was no intention to add new debt to the balance sheet. “The trust is fully aware of the club’s need to progress off and on the pitch,” it added.

“We all know that there is con-siderable scope to improve revenue growth in certain areas and we also understand the need for sustainable investment, especially for projects such as stadium expansion.”

The South Wales club are the third in the Premier League to share common ownership with an MLS franchise.

METZ — Striker Olivier Gi-roud finally silenced his doubters with two more goals as France beat Scotland 3-0 in its final warmup for the European Cham-pionship on Saturday. France hosts Romania at Stade de France in the Euro 2016 opener next Friday, and Giroud looks certain to start after making it seven goals in the past seven games for France.

“Of course it’s always good for your confidence,” Giroud said. “We created a lot of chances tonight and I tried to finish off the good work of my teammates.” Giroud was jeered by his own fans when France beat Cameroon on Monday, despite scoring in a 3-2 win.

This time, he was cheered off the field when replaced mid-way through the second half by Andre-Pierre Gignac, now his rival in attack in the absence of Karim Benzema.

“It’s good,” Giroud said.

“We’re getting close to the Euro and it’s important for us to all work together toward the same objective.” Center half Laurent Koscielny got France’s other goal against a lackluster Scotland side that conceded all three in the first half.

Attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet, one of the best players in the English Premier League this season for West Ham, was involved in two of the goals, strengthening his claim for a start.

The 25,000-seat Saint-Sym-phorien Stadium in Metz was sold out, with more than 1,000 Scotland fans loudly backing their team. But coach Gordon Strachan’s side offered them little to get excited about.

“We could have scored more in the second half, but it’s a good result just before the Euro,” said France coach Didier Deschamps, whose side has 13 goals in the past four games. (ap)

PASADENA — Neymar showed up at the Rose Bowl for Brazil’s Copa America opener against Ecuador, but was unable to influence his teammates from his luxury suite. Playing without its star attacker, Brazil was held to a scoreless draw with Ecuador on Saturday night in the Copa America opener for both teams at the Rose Bowl.

“We have to get better but watching the game we were only missing the score,” Brazil coach Dunga said. “The way we played, being our first game and playing against a good team, was well.”

Neymar skipped the tournament because he didn’t have permission from Barcelona to play in both Copa America as well as the Olympics in Rio in August.

Ecuador came the closest to scoring in front of the crowd of 53,158, but an apparent goal was waved off as the ball was ruled to have gone out of bounds before the shot. Ecuador coach Gustavo Quinteros was convinced that the goal should have counted.

On the play, Ecuador’s Miler Bolanos chased down a ball near the goal line on the right side of the penalty area. Bolanos slipped a ball to the front of the goal, and Brazil’s Alisson mishandled the ball and watched it bounce off his hands and into the goal. However, referee Julio Bascunan ruled that the ball crossed the goal line before Bolanos’ shot

and awarded Brazil a goal kick.“I saw it 25 times on video replay,” Quinteros said. “The

entire ball did not go out. About 75-80 percent of it went out.” Dunga meanwhile said he trusted his players’ account. “I couldn’t see anything,” Dunga said. “It was tough to view. The players who were close to the play said the ball went out.”

With the result, Peru finished the day atop Group B after a 1-0 victory over Haiti 1-0 in Seattle earlier Saturday. Group B play resumes Wednesday as Brazil plays Haiti in Orlando while Ecuador will meet Peru in Glendale, Arizona.

Managing the roster has proven to be a challenge for Dunga as he was without several name players aside from Neymar. Bayern Munich’s Douglas Costa and Orlando City’s Kaka, a former FIFA Player of the Year were among the play-ers ruled out due to injury. With many of the players having played nearly non-stop for the better part of a year, Dunga said it is no mystery why the roster was limited.

“This is a problem that we need to find a solution for,” he said. “It’s the end of the season for the players. They are very tired from their trips and there were a lot of injuries because of that. But players that are here are very motivated. We definitely believe in these players.”

The draw maintained Brazil’s dominance over Ecuador in Copa America. Brazil is 12-0-2 against Ecuador in the tournament. Ecuador came out on the attack and held the ball for most of the first five minutes and threatened the Brazilian goal in the fifth minute, when Enner Valencia sent a shot wide.

Brazil won more of the possession after that early spell. Ecuador goalkeeper Esteban Dreer turned away Brazil’s first dangerous opportunity, stopping Phillipe Coutinho’s shot from six yards out.

Determined and finding space, Brazil continued to pres-sure Ecuador but could not get the ball into any positions of danger. Jonas’ header in the 15th minute and Coutinho’s shot from 25 yards out two minutes later may have put some fear into Ecuador, but each went wide.

Casemiro picked up a yellow card in the 18th minute for elbowing Enner Valencia while both leaped to try and win a header.

After standing its ground, Ecuador won more of the ball in the final 15 minutes of the first half and put Brazil on its heels. Forced to defend hastily, Brazil reacted with a pair of cau-tions in a three-minute span. First, Elias took down Jefferson Montero after Ecuador countered following Brazil’s corner kick. Valencia was unable to capitalize on the ensuing free kick, placing his shot directly at goalkeeper Alisson. Brazil earned another caution when Gil tripped Valencia after the Ecuadorian fouled him.

Fouls dominated the early moments of the second half. Ecuador’s Arturo Mina picked up Ecuador’s first yellow card of the match two minutes after the intermission after fouling Coutinho.

Ecuador picked up two more yellow cards in the second half, with Valencia and Jaime Ayovi earning cautions for reckless fouls.

Brazil’s Dani Alves donned the captain’s armband, re-placing club teammate Neymar with the captaincy. Even without Neymar or Douglas Costa, Brazil’s lineup was still formidable. Seven of the starters play in Europe, with the likes of Coutinho (Liverpool), Willian (Chelsea) and Casemiro (Real Madrid) on the field. (ap)

Ali, who had long suffered from Parkinson’s syndrome which impaired his speech and made the once-graceful athlete almost a prisoner in his own body, died on Friday at age 74.

The cause of death was septic shock due to unspecified natural causes, a family spokesman said on Saturday. Ali was admitted to a Phoenix-area hospital, Honor-Health, with a respiratory ailment on Monday.

“He’ll be remembered as a man of the world who spoke his mind and wasn’t afraid to take a chance and went out of his way to be a kind, benevolent individual that re-ally changed the world,” the family spokesman, Bob Gunnell, said at a news conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Despite Ali’s failing health, his youthful proclamation that he was “the greatest” rang true until the end for millions of people around the world who respected him for his cour-age both inside and outside the ring.

Along with a fearsome reputa-tion as a fighter, Ali spoke out

against racism, war and religious intolerance, while projecting an un-shakeable confidence that became a model for African-Americans at the height of the civil rights era and beyond.

Stripped of his world boxing crown for refusing to join the U.S. Army and fight in Vietnam, Ali returned in triumph by recapturing the title and starring in some of the sport’s most unforgettable bouts.

“I think when you talk about Muhammad Ali, as great an athlete, as great a boxer as he was, he was the greatest boxer of all time, he means so much more to the United States and the world,” said Ali’s long-time friend, boxing promoter Bob Arum.

“He was a transformative figure in our society.”

Bursting onto the boxing scene in the 1960s with a brashness that threatened many whites, Ali would come to be embraced by Americans of all races for his grace, integrity and disarming sense of humor.”In the end, he went from being reviled to being revered,” civil rights leader

the Rev. Jesse Jackson told CNN on Saturday.

Pam Dorrough, a tourist in New York’s Times Square, admired Ali’s refusal to apologize for what he believed.

“The confidence - and I know ev-erybody thought it was an arrogance about him - he always projected a confidence,” she said. “And he stood by that.”

President Barack Obama, the first African-American to reach the White House, said Ali was “a man who fought for us” and placed him in the pantheon of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela.

“His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail,” Obama said in a statement. “But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today.”

Ali’s daughter Maryum said on Saturday: “I am happy my father no longer struggles. He is in a better place. God is the greatest.”

In New York’s Harlem district, fans gathered outside the famous Apollo Theater, where a marquee paying tribute to Ali read: “The great-est of all time. 1942-2016.” (rtr)

PARIS - For a split second Gar-bine Muguruza stood wide-eyed and open mouthed as she seemed to have no clue if her lob had landed in -- but as she turned towards the VIP Box, the wild cheers proved she had dethroned Serena Williams to win the French Open title.

The 22-year-old Spaniard, who produced a pristine performance for an hour and 43 minutes on Saturday to deny Williams a 22nd major trophy with a 7-5 6-4 victory, was soon covered head-to-toe in clay after collapsing on to her back to celebrate her maiden grand slam triumph.

Her shirt, arms, white sweat-bands, cheeks and hair were all caked in red dirt but Muguruza did not care a jot as she became the first Spanish woman to hoist the Su-zanne Lenglen Cup since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1998.

“It (match point) was really weird. Serena was in front of the ball so I didn’t know if it was in or out,” said a beaming Mugu-

ruza, who was presented with the trophy by American great Billie Jean King.

“I looked at the umpire and he doesn’t want to say anything. I was like, ‘did I win Roland Garros?’

“When he said, ‘game, set, and match’...it was like ...no way. I won. It was amazing.”

Incredibly, the Caracas-born player had never claimed a clay-court title before winning what she called “the perfect final” on Saturday.

If she was the superstitious kind, she would have chosen not to flick through the record books -- as the last time a woman contested her first claycourt final in Paris, she got walloped 6-0 6-0 by an incumbent world number one.

Not only did Muguruza avoid suffering the same fate as Natasha Zvereva, who was humiliated by Steffi Graf in 1988, she did not even allow the current number one to win a set on Saturday. (rtr)

Since Salman came to power early last year, and Tehran struck a nuclear deal with world powers, Riyadh has adjusted its strategy for countering the efforts of its Shi’ite Muslim rival to build influence in Africa, Asia and even Latin America.

Most notably, the Sunni power has used Muslim networks to push states into cutting off contacts with Iran, including by creating an Islamic Coalition against terrorism without inviting Tehran to join.

“Iran is the one that isolated itself by supporting terrorism,” Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a recent news conference. “That is why the world reacted to Iran, and particu-larly the Islamic world, and basically said ‘enough is enough’.”

Tehran denies it sponsors ter-rorism, and points to its record of fighting the Sunni Muslim militants of Islamic State through backing for

Shi’ite militias in Iraq and President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

Riyadh is alarmed by Tehran’s support for the Shi’ite Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, and cut off military aid to the Beirut government after it failed to condemn attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran. Likewise, Saudi forces have launched a war on Iranian-allied Houthi rebels in Yemen.

But all this is part of its long-standing diplomatic, economic and military efforts to contain what it sees as a pernicious expansion of Iranian activity in Arab nations. Now it is attempting to orchestrate support elsewhere, including from countries such as Pakistan and Malaysia through its creation last November of the coalition against terrorism.

“In many ways the dimensions of the competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia are beginning to

go beyond the Middle East. This is an interesting development that historically hasn’t been the case,” said Mehran Kamrava, a professor at Georgetown University-Qatar.

The strategy partly responds to implementation of the nuclear deal in January. Riyadh fears this will give Iran more scope to push its interests internationally by releasing it from many of the sanctions which have crippled its economy.

With even the United States now saying Western banks can resume legitimate business with Tehran, the Saudis believe their main Western ally is gradually disengaging from the region.

“They understand the old inter-national order is dead and they have to take responsibility,” said a senior diplomat in Riyadh.

But the strategy is also driven by King Salman’s belief that Iranian influence has grown only because nobody has stood up to it, said Mus-tafa Alani, an Iraqi security expert with close ties to the Saudi interior ministry. (rtr)

WASHINGTON - If Hillary Clinton ends up losing Califor-nia to Bernie Sanders, it will be because of voters like Nallely Perez.

Perez personifies what a Clin-ton supporter was supposed to look like: a 24-year-old Latina who grew up idolizing the former first lady as a groundbreaking woman in politics. But when she votes in California’s Democratic presidential nominating contest on Tuesday, Perez will be sup-porting Sanders.

“Everything that I would stand for, he has said it,” said Perez, a student at California State Uni-versity, Long Beach, who said she likes Sanders’ promises of tuition-free college and universal healthcare. “We found our voice in him.”

California is the final big con-test in the long, bitter fight for the Democratic nomination. Opinion polls show the Democratic race there tightening in recent weeks. Where Clinton, a former sec-retary of state, once held a big lead over Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, the two now are nearly tied.

A University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll released on Friday showed Sanders with a one-percentage-point lead over Clinton in the state, 44 to 43 percent, a swing from March when Clinton held a nine-point edge.

On the Republican side, Don-

ald Trump has earned the nomi-nation for the Nov. 8 election, and Clinton is close to capturing the number of delegates she needs to head the Democratic ticket. Her campaign expects that a win in New Jersey earlier on Tuesday will secure the nomination.

But a loss in a populous Dem-ocratic stronghold like California could lend credence to Trump’s claim that she is a weakened candidate.

“Clinton would like to go to the nominating convention with the wind at her back and tamp down the perception that she doesn’t excite Democrats,” said Rodell Mollineau, a Democratic strategist in Washington.

A Sanders victory will not clear the way to his nomination unless it triggers a defection by scores of superdelegates - party office-holders and officials - from Clinton’s camp, an unlikely outcome.

Sanders has vowed to use California as a springboard to the party convention in Philadelphia in July. A win, especially a big one, would validate the self-described democratic socialist’s decision to stay in the race to the end and give him leverage to influence Clinton’s policies and cabinet picks.

“The game he is playing is to be able to draw as many conces-sions as he can out of the party and the Clinton campaign,” Mol-lineau said. (rtr)

Critics warn that the policy would explode the state budget. The Swiss government itself advises voters to reject the proposal, and polls suggest it will fail in a country known for free-market policies and a high-tech, capitalistic financial sector.

Proponents, however, insist the time has come for a minimum month-ly wage as sweeping 21st-century economic changes like robots dis-placing factory workers make jobs more precarious in the digital age. They say they’re seeking momentum more than outright victory. Polls have suggested that only about one-quarter of Swiss voters back the idea.

Still, the initiative cleared the bar for a vote, which in Switzerland’s direct democracy means garnering at least 100,000 signatures in a petition drive. It is one of five issues on the ballot Sunday, including efforts to raise money for public services and simplify the application procedures for asylum-seekers.

Universal basic income might seem like souped-up welfare but proponents say it’s actually aimed to supplant welfare. Advocates in Swit-

zerland and other European countries also examining the idea say current welfare systems are overburdened by red tape, deterring many potential beneficiaries from applying.

The novelty of unconditional basic income is that everybody would get it automatically. It would be a floor: Salaried workers who earn more than 2,500 francs a month would get no extra money.

Under a proposed model, each child would get one-quarter of the total for adults — about 625 francs per month — a sum higher than state child-care outlays for families today.

Possible ways of paying for it would include fees on salaries of people who earn more than the mini-mum, savings from welfare programs that would be discontinued and taxes or spending cuts in the state budget.

Switzerland’s basic income push is among the most advanced in Europe. The Dutch city of Utrecht wants to start a two-year experiment with a similar plan, handing money to residents who already receive welfare benefits.

Ralph Kundig, president of the Swiss chapter of the Basic Income Earth Network, said some econo-mists favored the idea as a way to underpin consumption and support the economy.

“Our parents, grandparents and beyond worked hard so that we could produce more by working less, with machines and so forth,” Kundig said. “The only thing that they did not foresee was that this wealth would only benefit the owners of the means of production.” Kundig said studies and pilot projects show people wouldn’t just sit at home and do nothing.

“Basic income is much more of a stimulant to employment and the economic activity of a country,” he said, adding it would increase entre-preneurship because people would be less afraid about losing jobs and more willing to take risks.

But an association of mostly small businesses in the southwestern Swiss region of Valais region, UVAM, is among the many voices calling for voters to reject the proposal, writing on its Web site: “No bread without work.” It lambasted the basic income proposal as “an absolute danger, be-cause it’s the perfect negation of the virtue of work” that would entrench a dependent class and cost 208 billion francs per year.

“Without wealth, here’s no redis-tribution, because money doesn’t fall from the sky,” the group wrote.(ap)

Handout or no? Swiss mull $2,500 monthly income for all

Banks and other financial companies led a modest decline in U.S. stocks Fri-day after a report indicating that hiring slowed sharply in May put investors in a selling mood.

The market slide snapped a two-day winning streak and sent bond prices surging as investors sought safety in U.S. government-backed debt. The dollar also fell sharply against several major currencies.

The downbeat jobs data appeared to convince traders that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low longer than previously expected. It also stirred concerns that the economy is slowing.

“What we don’t want to see is this number as a beginning of a series of weaker data,” said Quincy Krosby,

a market strategist at Prudential Fi-nancial. “That’s going to affect the market.”

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 31.50 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,807.06. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 6.13 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,099.13. The Nasdaq composite index gave up 28.85 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,942.52.

The Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added only 38,000 jobs in May, the lowest amount in five years. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent from 5 percent, but mainly because about half a million unemployed people stopped looking for work.

Separate reports out Friday also showed a mixed snapshot of the econ-omy. The Institute of Supply Manage-

ment said U.S. services firms grew in May at the slowest pace in more than two years, while the Commerce De-partment said orders to U.S. factories rose in April by the largest amount in six months.

The weak hiring data fueled specula-tion that the Fed will hold off on raising its key interest rate this summer, some-thing Wall Street was anticipating could happen as soon as July. That weighed on banks and financial services companies, as low interest rates make it harder for banks to make money from loans.

ETrade Financial slumped $1.44, or 5.1 percent, to $26.69, while Charles Schwab lost $1.62, or 5.3 percent, to $29.22. Bank of America fell 52 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $14.42. Citigroup slid $1.58, or 3.4 percent, to $45.39.(ap)

US stocks, dollar slide after weak jobs report

GENEVA — Would you accept about $2,500 from your government every month, no questions asked? Swiss voters get a choice Sunday in a referendum that, while not specifying a figure, asks if they want “unconditional basic income.” Experts estimate a minimum of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,560) per month is needed for an individual to make ends meet in wealthy Swit-zerland, where private-sector health insurance is required and the cost of living is sky-high.

“We have detained the suspects, along with the hashish, at the Langkat district police station for further investigation,” chief of the Langkat district polices narcotic unit Adjunct Commissioner Su-priyadi Yantoto said on Saturday.

The suspects were arrested when police conducted a raid on Trans Sumatra highway.

The police stopped a minivan in front of the Besitang police pre-cinct on the highway and asked the driver to show his driving license

and vehicle license.While the police were checking

the driving license and vehicle li-cense, the suspects drove away. But they were later arrested from an area that fell within the jurisdiction of Tanjungpura police precinct.

“While police personnel were checking the minivan, they found 150 kilograms of hashish con-tained in six sacks,” he said.

The three suspects were identi-fied by their initials as D (27), a resident of Gayo Luas in Aceh, and his two girl friends, identified by their initials as SS (21) and AS (15), both residents of Medan, cap-ital of North Sumatra province.

If found guilty, the suspects may be sentenced to 20 years in jail, life term or even death pen-alty.(ant)

JAKARTA - The 6.5-magni-tude earthquake which rocked the western coastal area of Sumatra on Thursday destroyed 2,663 houses and 193 class rooms in West Su-matra and Bengkulu provinces, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).

Nearly 114 out of the 2,663 houses were severely damaged, 612 houses were moderately dam-aged and 1,909 houses suffered a light damage, Chief of the BNPB Information Center and Public Relations Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a press statement released

on Saturday.The earthquake also left an

80-year old man dead after he suffered a heart attack. Eighteen others suffered injuries in the ca-lamity, he added. “The man died when he felt the strong quake and then suffered cardiac arrest,” he stated.

The 18 residents were injured after debris fell on them while they were trying to rush outdoors, he explained.

The June 2 earthquake hit hardest the Pesisir Selatan dis-trict, West Sumatra province,

where 93 houses and 29 class rooms were severely damaged, 578 houses and 74 class rooms were moderately damaged and 1,801 houses suffered a light damage.

Some 100 residents who had fled their homes for fear of af-tershocks shortly after the 6.5-magnitude earthquake rattled the area have returned home.

In Mukomuko district, Bengku-lu province, the earthquake caused major damage to 20 houses, mod-erate damage to 31 houses and light damage to 97 houses.

Acting chief of the West Suma-tra Provincial Disaster Mitigation Board (BPBD) Zulfiatno said on Friday the 6.5-magnitude earth-quake which rocked the province inflicted material losses running into an estimated Rp15.2 trillion. “The loss was mostly on account of the many buildings damaged in the quake,” he pointed out.

The quake was centered at 2.29 degrees south latitude and 100.46 degrees east longitude at a depth of 79 kilometers. West Sumatra is one of the quake-prone provinces in Indonesia.(ant)

JAKARTA - Mount Kerinci in Jambi, Sumatra, continued spewing thick smoke on Satur-day following a 6.5 magnitude quake in the southwestern coast on Thursday.

“After the quake the activity of Mount Kerinci is increas-ing. Since Friday grey smoke has been seen billowing from its peak up to 500 meter high eastward and westward,” the spokesman of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), Sutopo Purwo Nu-groho, said in a press release received here.

According to the Volcanol-ogy and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) continuous tremor at an am-plitude of 0.5 millimeter to 2 millimeter or dominantly 1 mil-limeter has been recorded.

Sutopo said the amplitude was not too big compared to that during the eruption of Mount Bromo or Mount Raung which was at around 30 milli-meter. “It means it is not too big and so not worrying,” he said.

The eruption of Mount Ker-ince has caused thin ash rain in the village of Sungai Sikai and the village of Tangkil in the sub-district of Gunung Tujuh, Kerinci district, Jambi province.

It has happened tens of times and continuously. The dan-ger status has not been raised meaning it remains at Level II established since September 9, 2007. PVMBG has recom-mended against entering the three kilometer radius of the mountains crater.

“Mount Kerinci is the high-est in Sumatra which is at 3,805 meter above the sea level and in view of that planes are advised to avoid routes around Mount Kerinci,” Sutopo said.

He said people are advised to remain calm as no evacuation is needed as the red zone is still within a radius of three kilome-ters from the peak while the res-idential areas are around eight kilometers from the peak.

“People are safe and can carry out their daily activities normally. The regional office of disaster mitigation agencies of Kerinci district and Jambi prov-ince as well as other elements have already prepared contin-gency plans in case increasing activity is recorded from the mountain,” he said.(ant)

On the last day of Asia’s biggest security summit, Admiral Sun Jian-guo said China will not be bullied, including over a pending interna-tional court ruling over its claims in the vital trade route.

“We do not make trouble, but we have no fear of trouble,” Sun told the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singa-pore, where more than 600 security, military and government delegates had gathered over three days.

“China will not bear the con-sequences, nor will it allow any infringement on its sovereignty and security interest, or stay indifferent to some countries creating chaos in the South China Sea.”

The waterway has become a flashpoint between the United States, which increased its focus on the Asia-Pacific under President Ba-rack Obama’s “pivot”, and China, which is projecting ever greater economic, political and military power in the region.

The two have traded accusa-tions of militarising the waterway as Beijing undertakes large-scale land reclamation and construction on disputed features while Wash-ington has increased its patrols and exercises.

On Saturday, top U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned China of the risk of isolating itself internationally and pledged to remain the main guaran-tor of Asian security for decades.

Despite repeated notes of con-cern from countries such as Japan, India, Vietnam and South Korea, Sun rejected the prospect of isola-tion, saying that many of the Asian countries at the gathering were “warmer” and “friendlier” to China than a year ago. China had 17 bilat-eral meetings this year, compared with 13 in 2015.

“We were not isolated in the past, we are not isolated now and we will not be isolated in the future,”

Sun said.“Actually I am worried that

some people and countries are still looking at China with the Cold War mentality and prejudice. They may build a wall in their minds and end up isolating themselves.”

During a visit to Mongolia on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged Beijing not to establish an air defence identifica-tion zone over the South China Sea, as it did over the East China Sea in 2013.

Kerry, who will visit China next, said an ADIZ would be “a provoca-tive and destabilising act”, which would question Beijing’s commit-ment to diplomatically manage the dispute.

The South China Sea is expected to feature prominently at annual high-level China-U.S. talks start-ing in Beijing on Monday, also at-tended by U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

U.S. concerns about Chinese trade policy and the difficulty foreign businesses say they face operating in China will add to what will likely be difficult discussions. (rtr)

SINGAPORE - The South China Sea dispute and worries about North Korea dominated an Asian security summit at the week-end, but cybersecurity was also in focus as regional officials sought to improve coordination amid a rise in high-profile hacks.

Alarmed by the theft of $81 million from Bangladesh’s cen-tral bank in February, one of the world’s biggest ever cyber heists, cybersecurity was among the top concerns discussed at Singapore’s annual Shangri-La Dialogue. For the first time, the conference allot-ted one of its six special sessions to cybersecurity.

“It was indicative that cyber has converted from being a logical threat to a physical threat,” said William Saito, special adviser to the Japanese cabinet on IT strategy. For Japan, safeguarding critical infra-structure was imperative, especially since it is the host for the 2020 Olympics, and cybersecurity was a large part of that effort, he said.

“Cyber, because it is so cross-cutting, will just make existing threats worse,” Saito said.

Cybercriminals, whether from criminal gangs or rogue nations, usually operated beyond borders, the meeting was told.

“Where restrictions differ, they exploit these differences in order to take advantage of our national systems,” said David Koh, chief executive of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore.

“We cannot defend or view cyber threats or issues within any national borders or within a re-gional border.”

In the February heist, hackers stole money from Bangladesh

Bank’s account at the New York Federal Reserve. One transfer to a Sri Lankan entity was reversed, but four transfers for $81 million went to the Philippines and wound up with casinos and casino agents there.

Most of the money remains missing and the identity of the hackers is unknown.

India, with nearly 500 million Internet users, is preparing to set up an army of 500,000 cybersleuths within five years, a delegate from New Delhi said at the conference.

“That can provide a bulwark for global cybersecurity efforts,” said Santosh Jha, joint secretary for cyber issues at the Indian external affairs ministry.

Building a transnational cyberse-curity defence system is hampered by differences between countries and a lack of trust, delegates said. For instance, Western nations were focused on safeguarding the infrastructure of cyberspace while China and Russia were concerned about content.

Also, rival nations use cyber techniques for espionage and po-tentially for sabotage. After years of acrimony and allegations of cyber-spying, senior U.S. and China cyber officials held their first meeting last month since the two countries struck an anti-hacking agreement in September.

“You have permanent members of the U.N. Security Council com-ing to the table with fundamentally different objectives, it probably isn’t a surprise that the accomplish-ments to date have been modest,” said Sean Kanuck, a former U.S. National Intelligence Officer for Cyber Issues. (rtr)

“Such incidents can have a nega-tive impact on the image of tourism in Bali, especially when the victim is a tourist. Other tourists may be reluctant to visit Bali if they do not feel safe coming here”, said the Spokesman of Bali Police, Hery Wiyanto, Friday (Jun. 3).

Wiyanto revealed there are certain hotels have already been verified in terms of their security standards, physical condition of the hotel and their security systems.. When guests enter a hotel they need to be examined from the entrance gate. “If the hotel does adequate assessment of who is coming in , there should not be such criminal incidents. It is the responsibility

of the hotel to ensure that their guests are safe and this includes their lobby. Private security of-ficers should be a priority”, said the former spokesperson for the Bengkulu Police.

IN this most recent case, Wiyan-to considers that the hotel’s security system is very weak therefore the Bali Police -through the Directorate of Security for Vital Objects, will summon the hotel to check their safety standards.

“Necessarily, the hotel must be responsible for security within the area of the hotel. Hotel managers obviously hope for many guests but if they cannot ensure their security there is no point”, he said.

Any hotel found to be lacking in terms of physical security systems, food, fire hydrants or other essen-tial aspects, will be reprimanded by the provincial police. Hotel secu-rity standards require the presence of competent and qualified security guards, he added. “We look into how security guards are recruited for example and whether they are certified security guards or they just do the best they can? Are the hotel’s security officers competent and do they have the ability to take anticipative measures?”, he asked.

Domestic tourist, 23 year old Mega Lisa Surya Putra, filed a report with the South Kuta Police on Saturday (May 28) explaining that her purse had been snatched in the lobby of the hotel located in the area of Mumbul after retun-ing from an event in the city. An unidentified man standing in the

lobby suddenly grabbed her purse as she walked passed him. The victim was extremely shocked asd was not able to keep a grip on her bag. Her bag containing cash worth IDR 800,000, credit cards, a smartphone and a make up bag.. As a result of the incident, the victim claimed to suffer losses worth IDR 80 million.

A similar case occurred in Taman Mumbul, Nusa Dua last April when 40 year old Mirda-waty Mohamad’s hotel room was robbed. This domestic tourist from Gorontalo, North Sulawesi lost several valuables including white and yellow gold encrusted with diamonds, IDR 5 million worth of cash, an IDR 8 million bag and two watches. The total estimated amount of her losses amounted to some IDR 151 million. She also reported the case to the South Kuta Police. (kmb36)

BANGLI - Currently civet is no longer considered as disturbing animal frequently preying on live-stock. But this animal classified into omnivore is now being pur-chased and maintained primarily by the civet coffee producers.

One of the civet coffee pro-ducers is I Wayan Jamin. To pro-duce civet coffee, he can look after up to 50 heads of civet. His civets are let go wild at his coffee plantations. “I release my civets in the garden freely because the quality of coffee produced is better than that of captive civet,” he said.

By and large, the number of his civet will be increased when ap-proaching or when the coffee har-vest season lasts like this June.

In general, there are seven types of civet looked after by farmers or civet lovers. How-ever, of the seven types of civet, Jamin admitted that all this time he prefers to look after more pandanus civets.

Since the need for civet is difficult to be supplied locally, all this time the civet is ac-quired from outside the region. He bought each civet at IDR 200,000-IDR 300,000. He ad-mitted to prefer civets from outside the region because it is more voracious and has bigger posture. Each day the civet can gobble up to five kilograms of coffee bean. “Usually local civet can only gobble up to 1.5 kilo-grams,” he added. (kmb40)

Purse snatching in hotel lobby threatens image of tourism in Bali

DENPASAR - As an international tourist destination, secu-rity is certainly a top priority for Bali. South Kuta Police will therefore be summoning the management of a hotel in Mumbul to investigate their security system after a 23 year-old student from Samarinda had her purse snatched in their lobby.

APPLEBY - The Appleby horse fair, in Appleby-in-Westmorland, northern England, is the biggest an-nual gypsy and traveller gathering in Europe. Held in Cumbria during the first week of June, many arrive in traditional green-top, or bowtop wagons.The lines and lines of bowtop wagons draws people from

all over the world. There were 191 horse-drawn (wagons) last year. There’s the horses being washed down in the river, then there’s the flash, where they flash [race] the horses up and down. It’s a danger-ous place. You’ve got to have your wits about you with horses travel-ling at 30mph.

A group of Travellers making their way towards the Appleby fair on the busy A66 stops for the day. At an overnight wayside just off the road they exercise their cobs, rest and relax before setting off on the final leg of their journey.

RSPCA inspectors Dale Grant,

with red helmet, and Matt Sacks check the river Eden for debris before the first horses are brought in for washing. Sacks says: ‘We’re just sweeping the river near the area where the horses are taken in by the travellers. There are all sorts of haz-ards swept downstream between each fair … railings, broken glass

etc. We’re monitoring the horses taken in and out of the river making sure they’re not sick or injured.

For many, the fair is primary an opportunity to trade horses. The sellers race and ride their horses along flash lane to allow prospec-tive buyers to assess their form and fitness. (IBP/net)

SEMARAPURA - Plastic waste does not eas-ily decompose in soil and has become a major threat to our environment and human health. In the hands of 60 year old I Dewa Gede Lasia however, this very same plastic can be turned into usable crafted products such as bags and mats. The process of transforming the garbage into goods that can be used everyday is quite particular, but Lasia is determined.

This man from Batununggul village, Nusa Penida, said that he first learned to weave baskets as a child but that it was not until he retired from being a civil servant for Klungkung’s

Education Agency earlier this year, that he started processing plastic into crafts. Processing the waste from start to finish is lengthy process and as Lasia explained, he has taken him 5 months to produce hi sfirst bag and mat. “ So far this crafting is for my own private use, but if possible, if I have the opportunity I would like to start marketing these products”, he said.

The plastic waste that he uses in the process is mostly from coffee packages and tetra packs. He was first in-spired to do something when he saw how much garbage was accumulating in this surroundings. This grandfather of four now makes several different products by weaving the plastic packaging together. “ I couldn’t just do noth-ing, I felt I had to do something”, he said. (kmb)

SINGARAJA - The effort to improve sanitation of plastic waste in the coastal area of Lovina Beach, Kalibukbuk, is intensified by a number of tour-ism fishermen. Sanitation is an important aspect for local and foreign travelers to Lovina Beach having been famous around the world. Unfortunately the marine plastic debris taken by underwa-ter currents often disturbs fisher-men and eventually contaminates the beach indirectly.

The travelers making a visit to see dolphin attraction is fairly stable within the past few weeks. However, collection of the plastic waste from the sea area often disrupts the activity of travelers wishing to enjoy the charm of Lovina Beach. “A number of foreign travelers when watch-ing dolphin attraction are quite annoyed and complained about why the sea is used to litter plastic waste. When dirty, it is feared that fish in the sea could be polluted by the waste,” said the Leader of the Tourism Fishermen Group of Lovina, Putu Budista, Friday (Jun. 3).

Lovina as a leading tourist destination in North Bali receives plastic marine debris coming from the underwater currents in various coastal areas every year. In rainy season, the piles of

plastic waste spread everywhere and are difficult to be cleaned up. Moreover, fishermen do not have adequate tools. “The most severe pollution due to marine debris happens in rainy season. Only the human personal consciousness can change the attitude of disci-pline not to throw garbage into the sea. Sometimes guests also complain to me when watching dolphins because garbage sud-denly emerges from the bottom of the sea and then comes ashore to the coast,” he added.

In the future, it is required a special pattern in dealing with plastic waste in the ocean and avoiding the crowds of dolphins from consuming contaminated garbage. The synergy made by the government of Buleleng through the Buleleng plastic waste-free program should be applied to each line of people’s life. “Sanitation through the gov-ernment program should be built through more synergies with the community. It is based on con-sideration that tourism fishermen rely on their life from escorting guests to watch dolphins. I have observed a number of villages in Buleleng having awareness of the importance of keeping sanitation from plastic waste by charging waste levies every month,” he said. (kmb34)

COVER STORYIt is dangerous when private

vehicles and goods run together. To that end, operating hours of the transportation management needs to be regulated where heavy ve-hicles are set in the afternoon and night only. However, the problem lies in the authority because regu-lating the hours of operation should wait for the decree of the Director General of Land Transportation (central government). “When pro-posed, it cannot certainly be issued within a year,” he said.

He admitted that Trans Sarbagita bus is unable to grow because the

corridor and its feeders cannot develop optimally so that people have difficulty to get transportation services. Of the seven proposed corridors, only two corridors can be approved and operated.

Necessarily, it needs 109 buses. Currently there are only approxi-mately 20 buses. In the meantime, the bus procurement highly de-pends on the central government and is not in accordance with the road conditions in Bali.

Dr. I Wayan Suweda, a trans-portation expert who is also the ITS alumni, admitted to be scared for the transportation condition in Bali. He criticized the construction of roads carried out at random. He mentioned that the development

of Bali Mandara toll road is not included in the regional spatial plan (RTRW) while it only includes the bridge at Benoa. This happens due to the policies of central govern-ment.

We need a master plan of short-, middle- and long-term guidance for our transportation development in Bali. If there is a new road it must be followed by the transportation system namely the vehicles and rules. Here it is required an inte-grated transportation management. It can be done by increasing the ca-pacity of the existing roads, giving priority to public transportation and reducing the growth of vehicles.

Chief of the ITS Alumni for Bali Region, I Wayan Mahardika, stated

that urgent needs to be addressed by the Bali Province is cutting off the long and winding land trans-portation line of goods. So, he considered the need to build the road transportation of goods from South Bali to North Bali by mak-ing shortcut to winding turns. “The street is more urgent than creating an airport in Buleleng,” he said.

He gave a solution that road transportation of people and goods to Buleleng can be engineered with advanced technology in the form of underground road like in Japan. In the meantime, building an airport will only serve passenger transpor-tation. Actually cheap and quick transportation of goods is needed to build the economy of Bali.

The Assessment Division Head at the Bali Transportation Agency, Dawan Arya, justified that Bali is currently planning the construction of airport, toll road and road on the scout from Denpasar to Buleleng. The budget has been formatted in the amended regional budget. To him, the three aspects are important to facilitate the transportation of passengers and goods in Bali.

In the meantime, John criti-cized that the government should act quickly and decisively in ar-ranging the development because every time opening new road it is always be coupled with slums. He suggested to repair the existing roads first and then creates a new road. (sue)

Super Easy Ways for My TAUZIA Privilege Members to Earn Free Night Stays

The plan to create a parking lot on the vacant land at Penginu-man was expected to be finished by now. Many drivers have been complaining about not being able to move forward onto Java. Taxi services are now flourishing as a means to transport the freight form overcapacity vehicles. The cost of the taxi service depends on how much merchandise is be-ing moved.

“One car worth of goods costs about IDR 75,000 to move, but it depends on the goods and can be negotiated”, said one of the taxi service providers. It is much faster to move goods this way and Ge-lung Kori entrance gates are filled with such transactions everyday.

“It is much better to use this service rather than wait for so long, especially when the goods have to be at the Badung market

this morning”, said Kariadi, a pick-up driver from Banyuwangi.

Actually there is already enough land to create a cargo terminal near the GElung Kori gates and the initial stages of construction (lev-eling the land) have already been budgeted for this year.

I Ketut Subandi, a transporta-tion businessman, who is also a former member of parliament of the Jembrana House of Represen-tatives, hopes that people remain disciplined. Currently only the tonnage is being is taken into consideration there are also many related rules regarding vehicle dimensions (length and height of

the body), chassis and so forth that are thoroughly applied in Java and Sumatera.

“Things should be consistent, so that we are not play cat and mouse. Before being weighed, trucks are unloaded, then after passing the weighbridge the goods are loaded again. It is equally exceeding tonnage” he said on Friday (Jun. 3).

Subandi said that the new cargo terminal is one solution But there must be a guarantee that the goods unloaded or detained are secure. “Who is responsible if the goods are scratched or damaged? This must also be considered,” he

explained. Chief of Cekik Weighbridge

Unit, I Ketut Suhartana, recently said that prosecution with this pattern will continue as long as the rules have not been revoked. “When we do it, there is no prob-lem regarding the line. There is no complaint from residents as well, rather they expect to wait in line” he said.

According to Suhartana, cargo trucks and cars parked at the lo-cation that know that they are in violation are scared. He also hopes that the new cargo terminal will soon be completed so as to accom-modate all the trucks. (kmb26)

NEGARA - Trucks are still being forced to park on the side of the road as they wait for the Cekik weighbridge to open in Gilimanuk. SO many trucks line the road that the queue reaches nearly all the way to the harbour, so some people have taken the initiative of providing taxi services to move smaller goods.

The complaint was filed in Coch-ise County, Arizona, against Stan-hope and 20 unnamed individuals associated with the comedian.

The lawsuit demands a jury trial and says that Heard would donate all proceeds to a battered women’s shelter in Arizona.

Representatives for Stanhope and Depp did not immediately re-spond to requests for comment.

The complaint is in response to a May 29 guest column by Stanhope published on entertainment trade outlet TheWrap.com and headlined

“Johnny Depp Is Being Black-mailed by Amber Heard - Here’s How I Know.”

Stanhope, who said he was a friend of Depp’s, wrote that Depp had told him that Heard was leaving him and “threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every pos-sible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to her terms.”

“Blackmail is what I would imagine other people might put it, including the manner in which he is now being vilified,” Stanhope wrote.

Lawyers for Heard called Stan-hope’s comments, detailed in the complaint, “completely false and highly defamatory.”

The lawsuit is the latest step in the increasingly acrimonious split between Heard, 30, and Depp, 52, who had been married for 15 months.

Heard filed for divorce from Depp in Los Angeles last month, citing irreconcilable differences, and obtained a temporary restrain-ing order against the actor.

She said in court papers that Depp had been abusive to her throughout their relationship, cul-minating in a May 21 argument during which he hurled a cell phone at her face and shattered objects in her apartment.

The documents included photos of the actress with a bruised eye that she said she sustained in the incident. Heard later gave a state-ment to Los Angeles police in which she accused Depp of domestic violence.

Depp, one of Hollywood’s top stars and box office draws, is cur-rently touring with his band Hol-lywood Vampires in Europe and is scheduled to perform in Bucharest, Romania, on Monday.

The actor’s 17-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Lily-Rose Depp, supported her father on Instagram last week, posting a photo captioning her father as “the sweetest most loving person I know.” (rtr)

Amber Heard sues comedian Stanhope for

defamation over Johnny DeppLOS ANGELES - Lawyers for actress Amber Heard filed a

defamation lawsuit against comedian Doug Stanhope on Fri-day after he wrote an article accusing her of blackmailing and manipulating her estranged husband, actor Johnny Depp.

Manabu Takehara, a spokesman for the Self-Defense Forces, said the boy “looked in good health”, adding that he was taken to hospital by heli-copter for a medical check. Military officials expressed admiration for the boy’s perseverance.

Yamato’s father, Takayuki Ta-nooka, says he is sorry for what he did The building where he was found was a long way from where he had

disappeared and involved a rigorous uphill climb.

Yamato was dehydrated and had minor scratches on his arms and feet, but no serious health risks were found, according to a doctor who examined him.

Speaking outside the hospital, the boy’s father apologised and thanked rescuers who took part in the search. Takayuki Tanooka said: “My exces-

sive act forced my son to have a painful time. “I deeply apologise to people at his school, people in the rescue operation, and everybody for causing them trouble.”

According to the police spokes-man, the boy “walked through the mountains” until he found the army building, broadcaster NHK report-ed.

He also reportedly drank water and slept on mattresses spread on the floor. The soldier who found him gave him two rice balls, which the 7-year-old ate ravenously. He looked a bit worn out but was “genki,” the military said, using a Japanese word

describing healthy children.Army personnel, emergency ser-

vices and volunteers had been search-ing for the boy since Saturday.

His parents initially said they had lost him when they were out hiking to gather wild vegetables. They subse-quently admitted they made him get out of their car on a mountain road for misbehaving.

The boy was abandoned on the northern side of the road on a slope of Mount Komagatake, which rises to an altitude of 1,131 metres (3,710 feet). He was reportedly without food. Po-lice have said they are considering fil-ing charges against the boy’s parents,

according to Kyodo News.The boy’s safe return has been was

welcomed in Japan, which has been riveted by the story. The country has also undergone intense soul-searching about how it raises and disciplines its children. (ap)

A number of transportation observers at-tended the d i scuss ion on sustain-

ab le deve l -opment in Bali

organized by the alumni of the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS) recently. Many transportation problems in Bali were revealed ranging from the ‘failure’ of public transportation to the length of road freight trans-portation.

Land Transportation Division Head at the Bali Transportation Agency, Standly JE Suwandhi, affirmed that public transporta-tion in Bali needs improvement to achieve the ideal figure of 70 percent for public transportation so that it can make it more ef-

ficient. So far, the figure of Bali is below 50 percent.

The public transport cost is even much more expensive reach-ing 3.5 times compared to that of private car and 1.9 times of a motorcycle. Here, it is required the transportation demand man-

agement (TDM) because the key to transportation efficiency lies in the public transport. The ratio is that two buses can carry 50 private vehicles.

Public transport ’fails,’ freight transport too long
