Nani helps Ronaldo lead Portugal into Euro 2016 final

“My dad was shooting a minise-ries in London at the time, and so I went straight to his house, and he loved to cook,” Skarsgard told Reu-ters at the London premiere of “The Legend of Tarzan” on Tuesday.

“I went straight to his house after wrap and spent four to five days on his couch just being fed. Incredible weekend.”

The new Tarzan film, based on

the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs and out in UK theaters on July 6, is woven into the real life story of African-American historian George Washington Williams, who trav-eled to the Congo and condemned Belgium’s King Leopold II for his harsh and brutal treatment of the Congolese people.

Tarzan has also appeared in nu-merous comic books since its debut,

making the film the latest in a long line of recent comic book adapta-tions for the big screen. The film’s director David Yates, best known for directing four “Harry Potter” films, said the comic book genre is not yet in danger of tiring out audiences.

“I think the comic book genre will constantly evolve. Because it is a genre that contains stories and characters that can go in any direc-tion so I as a place for theater it will probably be with us for a little bit longer yet,” he said. “Marvel do an amazing job and they’re bright enough to take those worlds in dif-ferent directions.” (rtr)

Stars out for ‘The Legend of Tarzan’

LONDON - After nine months of intense workouts and meal plans to get into the strapping shape of vine-swinging jungle hero Tarzan, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard found a fitting way to decompress with his famous father, veteran Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard.

Inflation....Continued on page 2

The Spanish court handed the same sentence to the Argentine player’s father, Jorge Horacio, with a 1.5 million euro fine. Both defendants said they would appeal to the supreme court.

“The sentence is not correct and we are confident the appeal will show the defence was right,” Messi’s lawyers said in a statement. They added Messi had always acted in good faith.

Spanish law is such that any sentence under two years for a non-violent crime rarely requires a defendant without previous convic-

tions to serve jail time. A spokes-woman for the court confirmed that Messi, 29, was unlikely to be imprisoned.

Messi, five times World Player of the Year and one of the world’s highest-earning athletes with an estimated income of $350 mil-lion in the past 10 years, plays for Barcelona football club where he is the leading goal scorer of all time.

The court in Barcelona said in a ruling that Messi and his father defrauded the Spanish tax office of almost 4.2 million euros between

2007 and 2009 by using a web of shell companies to evade taxes on income from the player’s image rights.

The companies - with names such as Sport Consultants and Sport Enterprises - were based in countries such as Belize, Uruguay, Switzerland and Britain where leg-islation kept the identities of their owners secret, it said.

Messi admitted during the trial in early June to signing contracts pro-tecting his image rights but said he had no knowledge he was commit-ting any wrongdoing or defrauding the Spanish state.

He said his father had control over his financial affairs, but the court said on Wednesday that this was not enough to avoid charges

and Messi’s “ignorance” did not remove responsibility.

“The information that the ac-cused avoided having was, in real-ity, within his reach via trustworthy and accessible sources,” the presid-ing judge, Mercedes Armas Galve, wrote in the ruling.

BARCELONA’S TOP GOAL SCORER

Messi, who has held Spanish na-tionality since 2005, and his father already had paid 5 million euros to the tax authorities as a “corrective” measure after formal investigations were opened.

Jorge Horacio Messi said dur-ing the trial that he was acting on advice from advisers who told him the practice was legal.

Barcelona football club said in a statement following the ruling that it not consider the player to be in any way criminally respon-sible.

“FC Barcelona continues to be at the disposal of Leo Messi and his family to support him in whatever action he decides to take in defence of his honesty and his legal inter-ests,” the club said.

Soccer superstar Messi gets 21 months jail for tax fraud, unlikely to serve time

MADRID - World soccer superstar Lionel Messi was sen-tenced on Wednesday to 21 months in prison and fined 2 million euros ($2.2 million) after being found guilty of three counts of tax fraud, although it is unlikely he will serve time in jail.

COVER STORYAdi Nugroho, Chief of the

Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Bali explained that inflation oc-curs due to the increase in price indicated by the rise in index of the six types of expenses, namely the foodstuff group with inflation of 1.02 percent, transport, com-munications and financial service (0.54 percent), processed foods, beverages, cigarettes and tobacco (0.33 percent), housing, water, electricity, gas and fuel (0.13 per-cent), clothing (0.07 percent), as well as the health (0.02 percent). As for education, recreation, and sport showed a deflation of 0.06 percent. Commodities experienc-ing price increases include apples, oranges, pears, chicken, boiled tuna, air freight rate and electricity rates. In the meantime, the price of commodity indicating decline in June 2016 includes shallot, red chili, spinach, sweet corn, young jackfruit, papaya and banana.

In the meantime, the Dean of the Faculty of Economy, Warmadewa University, Dr. I Made Sara, as-

sessed that inflation of Bali is under control, below the national inflation rate due to commitment of the gov-ernment and community so that it is not affected by external condition. “Indeed this needs to be main-tained. In other words, the efforts have been anticipated earlier so that does not move after it happens. The anticipation must be taken by the government, community and producer. This should really in-volve synergy, while the previous one was like firefighters that move when the problem arises,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 2).

According to him, the antici-pation against inflation must be programmed. At least, there are measures to anticipate people’s needs. For example, the govern-ment conducts a cheap market related to people’s basic needs and functions the institution like the lo-gistics agency (Bulog). “Bulog has started to refresh the price of basic commodities such as oil and rice. It must explain to people through exhibition and direct sales. Thus, it can eventually cut off or brake each producer and seller from raising the price,” he explained.

He also added that the price

control can be done by making co-operation and activate cooperative. Cooperative is one of the media that can be used to control prices. All this time, the cooperative seems to be rivaled by rural credit agency (LPD), while so far the LPD only distributes finance in the neighbor-hood. “Probably people may forget if the cooperative can also sell basic needs of society so that cooperative only runs the business of savings and loan,” he added.

Finally people must buy to supermarket, whereas the coop-erative can actually prepare the needs so that prices can be under control. Many media can be used to control this inflation, while the rest needed is only the govern-ment’s commitment to encourage the public and producers to work together. Theoretically, it has been complete, but the implementation can bring in difficulties and, even-tually overlaps.

Britain Exit (brexit) is also deemed not to affect the inflation in Indonesia or Bali. However, it needs anticipation from the beginning. “So far, the effect of Brexit has not been experienced as it just happened. However, Bali

can actually survive with its small industry and craftsmen supported by coaching to small industry and craftsmen,” he said. The SMEs or craftsmen should not be monopo-lized in the product marketing, especially with the presence of souvenir market owned by large investors.

“Actually, we should slow it down slightly,” he added. If large investors still want to run the busi-ness like that, craftsmen must be protected. Large investors only

mediate, not sell product and allow craftsmen to manage by them-selves. By doing so, they will not be affected by global conditions.

Indeed brexit has not had an impact yet, but it should be antici-pated and watched out because it has something to do with interna-tional relations. He hoped it will not have too negative impact, but has positive impact on the rise of the MSMEs; the rupiah can strengthen as well as the community welfare improves. (kmb42)

JAKARTA - Eid holiday coinciding to fall with school holidays encour-ages the increase in the mobility of domestic travelers this year. Ministry of tourism estimated the movement of domestic travelers will reach its peak when the Eid holiday arrives.

“Domestic trip is estimated to reach an average of 20 million per month and homecoming travel reaches 18 million trips. Thus, the total journey of domestic travel-ers reaches around 38 million trips,” said Deputy of Domestic Tourism Marketing (DP3N), Ministry of Tourism, Esthy Reko Astuty.

In particular, said Esthy, the Eid holiday indeed encourages an increase in the move-ment of domestic travelers to make a trip in the country and greatly contribute to the mobilization target of domestic travelers this year as many as 260 million trips with the money spent at IDR 223.6 trillion.

According to her, the macro condition of tourism in Indonesia in 2016 is quite bright. To that end, her agency sets a higher target this year, especially in terms of the movement of domestic travelers, and all the tourism stakeholders are expected to be

an entrepreneur having carefulness to see the opportunity in every existing moment or event.

As one of the supports for the increas-ingly smooth Eid tradition, the ministry of tourism published an official homecoming route map plus including some packages and tourist destinations in Sumatra, Java, and Bali. “This route map does not only carry information about the trips but also tour packages that may be favored by travelers,” said Esthy.

She said that so far the map of homecom-ing route has begun to be distributed mostly in the capital city of Jakarta as the center of the largest concentration of homecomers in Indonesia. The distribution is mostly carried out in Jakarta because the ministry of tour-ism predicted that millions of homecomers will depart from Jakarta this year.

Various promotional activities are held by the ministry of tourism to mobilize domestic travelers and minimize overseas holiday. Through the branding Pesona Indonesia, dozens of local festivals, culinary festivals, travel fairs, promotion of mass media and outdoor promotion are carried out sustain-ably in pursuit of the target movement of domestic travelers.

THE BALI BALL 2016 TO BE HOSTED

BY ALILA SEMINYAKTHE ISLAND’S LARGEST FUNDRAISING CHARITY EVENT

PARIS - Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is in full swing, and it’s set to highlight the fall-winter 2016-2017 collections of elite fashion houses. As expected, celebrities are as much a part of the show as the clothes on the catwalk.

Singer Céline Dion made her first appearance at the shows this

season at Dior, where she stopped to pose by the stairs in black leather pants and a jacket that dealt boughs below the belt. Dion recently hired stylist Law Roach, known for dressing Zendaya and Ruby Rose. He’s taken to robing the singer in Balmain, Jil Sander, Givenchy and Saint Laurent. But Monday was all about Christian Dior.

The fashion world continues to find the Hadid sisters on trend. Though Gigi Hadid strutted for almost every major label back in March during Paris Fashion Week, her sister Bella Hadid is the early star of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Today she took to Instagram to beam her cat eyes at Dior. (IBP/net)

For instance, the movement rejecting the Benoa Bay reclama-tion is also voiced by Sekaa Taruna or customary youth club of Pande hamlet, Abiansemal and Kumara Canti customary youth club, Petang Kelod hamlet, Petang, Sunday (Jul. 3).

The action by hundreds of Bali-nese youths and ForBali requested the President Joko Widodo to revoke the Presidential Regulation No.51/2014 and return the Benoa Bay area into a conservation area. The crowd began to move from the Abiansemal village to Petang village.

“The Benoa Bay area poses a sublime estuary, namely the loca-tion where seawater meets river water,” shouted the head of the Teruna Karya customary youth club, Pande hamlet, Abiansemal, I Gede Putra Dananjaya.

According to him, in the Hindu concept, estuary is a sacred area that cannot be tampered with and exchanged with money. To that end, they requested the president to revoke the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014.

Putra Dananjaya accompanied by the chief of Pande hamlet I Ketut Sulatra said that based on the assembly taking place on June 11, 2016, it was decided that Ter-una Karya customary youth club amounting to152 people rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation in disguise of revitalization. “We consider it (the reclamation plan—Ed) is only a reason for a greedy investment,” he said.

Chief of the Kumara Canti cus-

tomary youth club, Petang Kelod hamlet, Petang, Putu Yudhi Antara, also had the reclamation plan can-celed. Bali has a lot of tourist desti-nations, so that it no longer requires new tourist destinations.

“The ecological impacts of the plan should also be considered. In addition, the population density in South Bali will increase with the presence of the tourist accommoda-

tion development due to the Benoa Bay reclamation,” he said.

On that account, he asked the president to revoke the Presiden-tial Regulation No.51/2014 and restore the Benoa Bay area as a conservation area. “A maritime nation does not need to reclaim the sea,” he screamed while ending to his speech in front of the Petang Market.

In the meantime, the headman of Petang, Wayan Suryantara, also gave speeches on the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclama-tion. Though living in the region of North Badung, he firmly rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation. “As

a Hindu, we have a tradition, art and culture based on the Tri Hita Karana (concept on harmony),” he said.

He said that Tri Hita Karana concept is not only enough by speaking it, but it must be imple-mented really. “We have moun-tains and oceans, we may indeed utilize them, but do not disrupt it. If they are damaged, what will happen to the next generation?” he asked.

He also admitted that Benoa Bay retains many sacred areas. As the Hindus, we are obliged to keep and preserve the sacred places. “Dear villagers of Petang and the authori-

ties please do accept our apologies if there are unfavorable things when expressing our aspiration to reject the reclamation in disguise of revitalizing the Benoa Bay,” he concluded.

In addition to speeches, vari-ous attributes of Reject Recla-mation, such as flag of ForBali and banners with the wording ‘Rejecting Benoa Bay reclama-tion in disguise of revitalization’ was stretched on the road. This routine action was also jazzed up with baleganjur gamelan orches-tra. Aside from making cultural parade, the youths also gave ora-tion alternately. (kmb27)

TABANAN - When entering long holiday, government agencies and a number of private companies are on holiday. However, appar-ently it does not apply for janitors and the Tabanan Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP). Hun-dreds of janitors are alerted to clean up the garbage as on normal days.

The Head of the Tabanan Sani-tation and Landscaping Agency, I Wayan Sugatra, said that if all the

civil servants and contracted offi-cers in the government of Tabanan take long holiday, the DKP officers and janitors continue to conduct their task. Moreover, his agency has also made the list of officers on duty during the Eid holiday.

Aside from the janitors, the supervisors of sanitation denoting civil servants are equally unable to take full holiday because they must be on duty to control sanitation

condition at a number of locations in Tabanan. “Supervisors have the task to monitor. If there are some garbage piling up, it will soon be known and immediately order the janitors to immediately transport it. Thus, the sanitation can be always maintained,” he said, Monday (Jul. 4).

Further, he added that the su-pervisors are on duty from 07:00 through 13:00. Prior to carrying out

their activities, his agency has even to gather all the officers and provide guidance for the implementation of the tasks in the field coupled with the distribution of working uniform as motivation to work.

According to Sugatra, a total of 530 officers ranging from janitors, street sweepers, garbage hauling to processing officers at final disposal site will remain standby to clean up all the garbage. “There is no

holiday for janitors. This has been in accordance with the terms of their work and no additional fees are given,” he said.

Sugatra predicted the amount of garbage per day to decrease from normal days. This happens because during long holiday the people of Tabanan usually spend their time outside the city. Besides, many migrants return to their home vil-lage. (kmb28)

BEIJING - The United States should do nothing to harm China’s sovereignty and security in the South China Sea, China’s foreign minister told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, ahead of a key court ruling on China’s claims in the disputed waterway.

Speaking by telephone on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Kerry the United States should stick to its promises not to take sides in the dispute, China’s foreign ministry said.

China hopes the United States “speaks and acts cau-tiously, and take no actions that harm China’s sovereignty and security interests”, the statement paraphrased Wang as saying.

Tensions and rhetoric have been rising ahead of a July 12 ruling by an arbitration court hearing the dispute between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea in the Dutch city of The Hague.

China is conducting military exercises around the Paracel Islands in the north of the region this week, while U.S. Navy officials said on Thursday that U.S. destroyers had been patrolling around Chinese-held reefs and islands in the contested Spratly Islands to the south.

While not close enough to be within 12 nautical miles - a so-called freedom of navigation operation that would require high level approval - the destroyers operated within 14 to 20 nautical miles of the Chinese-occupied features, the Navy Times reported.

The USS Ronald Reagan and its escort ships have also been patrolling the South China Sea since last week.

“All of these patrols are conducted in accordance with international law and all are consistent with routine Pacific Fleet presence throughout the Western Pacific,” Pacific Fleet spokesman Lieutenant Clint Ramsden told Reuters. (rtr)

There were signs that the po-litical instability after Saturday’s cliffhanger election was beginning to take its toll on the Australian economy, with Standard and Poor’s cutting Australia’s credit rating outlook to negative from stable, threatening a downgrade of its coveted triple A status.

Turnbull flew to northern Queensland state to win reluctant support from Bob Katter, a mav-erick former member of the ruling conservative coalition who is now a potential kingmaker if Turnbull is unable to win the 76 lower house seats needed to form government outright.

“Today we are announcing our support ... for a Turnbull govern-ment. I do so with no great enthu-siasm,” Katter told reporters. “I will maintain my right to change at any point of time in the future.”

Katter’s support gives Turn-bull’s coalition a total of 74 seats,

according to the latest Australian Broadcasting Corp. projections, as vote counting continues.

Labor is projected to win 66 seats, meaning they would need to win the six seats still being counted and do deals with all the four remaining independents to form government - a scenario considered extremely unlikely by pollsters.

“I remain confident that we will form a government, and we will unite the parliament as far as we are able to,” Turnbull told reporters after meeting Katter.

“We will unite the nation in a common purpose to continue to en-sure that we have strong economic growth,” he said.

Turnbull, however, will realisti-cally only scrape through with the slimmest of margins and faces an even more hostile upper house Senate, making it difficult for him to pass planned economic reforms. (rtr)

Australian PM wins key support, edges closer to forming government

SYDNEY - Embattled Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appeared likely to retain power after gaining the sup-port of a key independent on Thursday, although the closeness of the vote signalled more tough political and economic times ahead.

Though being threatened by huge waves, some residents decided to stay at their homes, but they are very restless. Sri Ani, 80, an elderly person whose home become the victim of the raging ocean waves claimed to still hold on at her remaining home because of having no money to move. Moreover, she lives alone on the edge of the beach.

“I do not know where to go because of having no place anymore. I will hold on here. Hopefully, the seawater will not be getting bigger and will not disrupt my home or reach this location,” she hoped.

She told that she cannot sleep every night. She is worried if big waves will hit her house. Seawater has reached at some parts of her destroyed home.

Juhri, another resident, admitted that even though the waves often hit the wall of his house, he had no choice but holds on in the house having been occupied for decades. Similar condition was also experienced by Parno, a grandfather, who survives in a house with cracked walls because it con-tinues to be hit by waves.

These residents, whose home directly bordered with the sea, hoped the govern-ment could quickly help prevent the abra-sion from spreading and eroding their own lands.

In the meantime, Chairman of the Jem-brana House of Representatives, Ketut Sugiasa, admitted to be apprehensive with the damaged condition of the beach. More-over, dozens of homes have been destroyed. Sugiasa has made coordination for the in-stallation of culvert on the each to protect the road so as not to break up.

He hoped all parties could help provide temporary mitigation. “We are still fighting to central government. Maybe it can get the realization. We must find out a short-term solution for this,” he explained.

When making a working visit at the Nusantara Fishery Port (PPN) of Pengam-bengan, some time ago, the Minister of Ma-rine and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti ordered his subordinates to build a breakwater in the fishing village hit by disasters such as abrasion. (kmb)

BUSINESS

Weakening demand for tradi-tional retailers has added to trouble for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which has had slow and uneven growth since its first China outlet opened in 1996. It tried to expand into online retailing but sold its operation last month to China’s No. 2 e-commerce operator.

Its labor tensions reflect rising expectations among workers to share in China’s prosperity and a shift by the ruling Communist Party away from treating them only as a source of labor toward trying to create a consumer society.

Employees said Wal-Mart wants them to work 11-hour shifts on weekends and as little as four hours on weekdays under a system it started to roll out in June. Some said that might result in lower pay and interfere with their ability to work second jobs.

Last week, staff members pro-tested on Friday and Saturday outside Wal-Mart stores in the cities of Nanchang and Shenzhen in southern China, Chengdu in the west and Harbin in the northeast, according to employees and two labor rights groups.

More than half the Nanchang store’s workforce of 200 employ-ees took part, according to an em-ployee. Some carried banners that said, “Wal-Mart workers stand up and oppose fraud.” In a written re-sponse to questions, Wal-Mart said it is “planning a series of initiatives to enhance and upgrade Walmart China’s overall talent management system.”

The company didn’t answer questions about how scheduling and working conditions would change or how the protests affected its operations.

“We have communicated with Walmart China associates and a majority of associates support the new system,” the statement said, using the company’s term for its employees. “For those associates who need additional information, we are communicating with them on a consistent basis.”

Wal-Mart faced similar criticism in the United States over its “just in time” scheduling system, which employees said changed work hours at short notice and reduced pay for some. The company said in February its U.S. stores would switch to allowing employees the option of working fixed hours or putting together schedules in two-week blocks.

In contrast to its American op-erations, Wal-Mart’s Chinese work-force of 100,000 is represented by unions, though employees complain those Communist Party-controlled groups often side with companies instead of pushing for better wages and working conditions.

Wal-Mart was one of the highest-profile targets of a 2006 campaign led by the ruling party to have the country’s umbrella labor group, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, set up unions at foreign companies.

Managers presented the new scheduling system in May and encouraged employees to sign new contracts to authorize the change, according to employees. Under Chinese law, full-time employees work under two-year contracts.

“The workload is very heavy because we have to stand for 11 hours,” said another employee of the Nanchang store, who asked not to be identified by name for fear of trouble with the company or Chi-nese authorities. “All the employees felt it was too difficult and were very unhappy.” Employees were told they could keep working under previous contracts if they wanted, but those who did so found their paychecks were smaller because meal subsidies and other payments were eliminated, according to the employee in Nanchang.

An activist group, China Labor Watch, said employees were pres-sured to sign the contracts by being told they could not leave meetings where the new system was an-nounced until they did. Wal-Mart did not respond to a question about whether that happened.

Employees expressed concern the system could be abused to induce unwanted workers to quit by giving them awkward shifts, eliminating the need to pay sever-ance.

Traditional retailers have been battered as Chinese shoppers shift to shopping online. Total retail sales rose 10 percent in May compared with a year earlier but that was down from 13 percent in 2014. Meanwhile, online commerce grew by more than 30 percent.

Wal-Mart, headquartered in Ben-tonville, Arkansas, has expanded to 433 stores in China, but that is less than one-tenth as many as its 4,655 outlets in the United States.

Wal-Mart bought a stake in on-line retailer Yihaodian in 2011 and took full control last year. But after gaining a market share of just 1.6 percent, it gave up last month and turned over ownership to JD.com. In exchange, it got a 5 percent stake in the Chinese company. Phone calls

Wednesday to ACFTU branches in Nanchang, Chengdu and Shenzhen weren’t answered.

Frustration among Wal-Mart em-ployees with the ACFTU prompted some to start an informal group called the Wal-Mart Chinese Em-ployee Fellowship in 2014, ac-cording to Zhang Jun, who said he was a spokesman for the group. He worked as an electrician at a Wal-Mart in the eastern city of Yantai from 2011 until last December.

The group’s 20,000 members — about 20 percent of Wal-Mart’s China workforce — use social media to communicate, according to Zhang.

They divide themselves into small groups in line with regula-tions aimed at suppressing dissent by limiting the number of accounts that can be linked together. Authori-ties have investigated whether the group received money from foreign organizations, according to China Labour Bulletin, a research group

in Hong Kong.On Wednesday, employees ex-

pressed concern Wal-Mart’s new system would make them part-time workers who would not be entitled to compensation in the event of layoffs.

A cashier who has worked at the Nanchang store for more than five years said her monthly pay of about 1,400 to 1,600 yuan ($215 to $245) has fallen by about 74 yuan ($11) under the new system. The legal minimum monthly wage in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, is 1,530 yuan ($235).

Employees are unlikely to get a raise in the next few years, said the cashier, who asked not to be identified by name for fear of re-taliation.

“What worries us more is that they are preparing for the fu-ture,” said the cashier. “Will we be cut off in the future and get no compensation, like the part-time workers?”(ap)

Wal-Mart in China faces employee protests

BEIJING — Wal-Mart faces protests by employees in China over what they say is a drastic change in work schedules as the company overhauls its struggling business amid an economic slowdown and competition from e-commerce.

Wal-Mart faces protests by employees in China over what they say is a drastic change in work schedules under a system rolled out in June 2016 as the company overhauls its struggling business amid slowing economic growth and competition from e-commerce.

National police chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti said Rohman evaded arrest in a police counter-terrorism operation in late 2015 and be-longed to a militant group whose members included Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian in Syria who police say coordinated the Jan. 14 attack in the Indonesian capital Jakarta that killed eight people including four militants.

An official with the police’s anti-terror squad said Naim and Rohman had been neighbors in Solo. Both were influenced by the radical cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who was the spiritual leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah militants respon-

sible for the 2002 bombings on the tourist island of Bali that killed 202 people.

Indonesia has carried out a sus-tained crackdown on Islamic mili-tants since the Bali tragedy. Militant networks have been weakened and recent attacks have been small in scale but ideological inspiration from the Islamic State group has provided the impetus for some local radicals to regroup.

The Solo attack occurred a day before predominantly Muslim In-donesia, and Muslims worldwide, celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of the fasting month.

“This was done by terrorism net-

works that continue to regenerate,” said Maj. Gen. Condro Kirono, chief of Central Java Police. “Whether it is an old or new network will be revealed by the investigation,” he said. TV footage showed a limited amount of damage on the street and the attacker’s partially destroyed motorcycle.

Solo, the hometown of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, is known as a hotbed of Islamic radicalism in Java, one of Indonesia’s main islands. The city is home to the fundamentalist Al Mukmin Islamic boarding school founded by Bashir, which produced a generation of violent militants.

Kirono said a bomb squad combed the area around police headquarters for explosives and extra security precautions will be taken for Wednesday’s Eid al-Fitr prayers in the city. Jokowi con-demned the violence and called on Indonesians to be calm but vigilant during Eid.(ap)

CONCORD — A U.S. Army soldier who participated in a scheme to buy guns and send them to a security detail for the president and vice president of Indonesia plead guilty Wednesday to several charges in federal court.

Audi Sumilat pleaded guilty Tuesday and will be sentenced in October, the U.S. attorney’s office in New Hampshire said. The 36-year-old faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

One of Sumilat’s co-conspirators also has been charged and is scheduled to be tried on July 19.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Morse said there have been cases in New Hampshire and other states involving international firearms trafficking to countries including Ghana, Canada and Mexico.

“But this is the first case that I’m aware of in which the intended beneficiaries of the trafficking were representatives of a foreign gov-ernment,” Morse said.

Authorities said Sumilat joined a conspiracy to buy guns in Texas and New Hampshire for members of the Indonesian Presidential Guard, who are tasked with providing security to the president and vice president but could not lawfully buy the weapons themselves.

Sumilat admitted he and three guard members came up with a plan in 2014, when they were stationed together for training in Fort Ben-ning, Georgia.

Sumilat said he bought guns in Texas and shipped them to a co-conspirator in New Hampshire, who delivered them to guard members on visits to Washington, D.C., and to the U.N. General Assembly in New York. The guns were to be smuggled out of the United States.

Sumilat pleaded guilty to making false statements in records required to be kept by federal firearms dealers for telling gun dealers the weapons were for him and for smuggling firearms from the U.S.

To have legally exported the guns, Sumilat was required to get an exporter’s license and a license covering the specific guns exported. No licenses were issued.

New Hampshire U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice said the conse-quences of international gun trafficking can be grave.

“Firearms exported overseas illegally can easily end up in the wrong hands,” she said in a statement. “International gun trafficking will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible to protect innocent individu-als, both American and foreign, from the criminal use of U.S. weapons abroad.”(ap)

JAKARTA - As many as 63,170 prisoners across Indonesia had their jail terms commuted as part of a special remission program in connection with Eid al-Fitr that falls on July 6.

“It is not only a moment of victory for Muslims. The Eid also brings a present that most prisoners who are Muslims, wait for, that is, the special Eid al-Fitr remission,” the spokesman of the directorate gen-eral of penitentiaries, M. Akbar Hadiprabowo, said in a press release received here on Wednesday.

Based on the law, the Eid remission is given to Muslim prison-ers who meet administrative as well as substantive requirements, including the condition that they should have served their jail term for a minimum of six months and are not listed in the F Register (prisoners having violated discipline) and should be active in coun-seling programs.

The special Eid remission is granted in two categories. The RK-1 Remission is given to those who will have to serve the rest of their jail terms even after the remission while RK-2 Remission is meant for those who will be free when their sentence is remitted. A total of 62,470 prisoners fell in RK-1 category while 700 fell in RK-2 this year.

The number of prisoners who will be receiving remissions this year went up from 54,434 in 2015.

According to the data of the directorate general of penitentiaries, there were a total of 198,911 prisoners in 477 penitentiaries/detention centers across Indonesia till July 2016.(ant)

Suspected militant dies in Indonesia suicide bombing

JAKARTA — Indonesian police said the militant who died in a suicide bombing Tuesday outside police headquarters in the city of Solo was linked to a leading figure among the Indonesian radicals with the Islamic State group in Syria. One policeman sustained minor injuries in the attack that unfolded about 7.30 a.m. local time as the attacker, provisionally identified by police as 30-year-old Nur Rohman, tried to enter the police complex on his motorbike.

The sanctions, the first to tar-get any North Koreans for rights abuses, affect property and other assets within the U.S. jurisdiction. They include 10 other individuals besides Kim and five government ministries and departments, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

“Under Kim Jong Un, North Ko-rea continues to inflict intolerable cruelty and hardship on millions of its own people, including extraju-dicial killings, forced labour, and torture,” Acting Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intel-ligence Adam J. Szubin said in the statement.

But inside North Korea, adula-

tion for Kim, 32, is mandatory and he is considered infallible. A 2014 report by the United Nations, which referred to Kim by name in con-nection to human rights, triggered a strong reaction from Pyongyang, including a string of military provo-cations.

Earlier this year, Congress passed a new law requiring U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver a report within 120 days to Congress on human rights in North Korea. It had designate for sanctions anyone found responsible for human rights violations. Kim Jong Un, the third generation of his family to rule the Stalinist state, topped the list.

The U.S. Treasury Department

identified Kim’s date of birth as Jan. 8, 1984, a rare official con-firmation of the young leader’s birthday.

Many of the abuses are in North Korea’s prison camps, which hold between 80,000 and 120,000 peo-ple including children, the report said.

The five agencies designated were two ministries that run North Korea’s secret police and their correctional services, which oper-ate the prison camps. Also named were the ruling Workers’ Party’s Organization and Guidance Depart-ment (OGD), a key bureau used by Kim to wield control of the party and the government.

The sanctions also named lower-level officials, such as Minister of People’s Security Choe Pu Il, as directly responsible for abuses. (rtr)

DHAKA - Militants on Thurs-day attacked Bangladeshi police guarding the country’s biggest fes-tival marking the end of Ramadan, killing three people and wounding 14, days after Islamic State claimed a major attack in the capital and warned of more violence.

At least five militants attacked a police post in Kishoreganj town, about 140 km (90 miles) from the capital, Dhaka, with small bombs and then set upon police with “sharp weapons”, said chief district administrator, Mohammad Azimuddin Biswas.

Up to 300,000 people had gath-ered for a prayer service to mark the Eid al-Fitr festival in the town at the time of the violence, nearly a week after militants killed 20 people in an attack on a cafe in Dhaka claimed by Islamic State.

One policeman was killed in a blast and another was stabbed to death. A woman was also killed.

Two attackers were killed and three were arrested, officials said. It was not immediately clear what group they belonged to.

The assault is the latest in a surge in militant violence in the South Asian nation of 160 million

that threatens lives as well as its economic wellbeing.

The country depends heavily on its $26 billion garment export sector and insecurity is making foreigners nervous.

“This is very shocking. We are anxious. It is creating an image crisis. Customers are worried,” said Muhammad Saiful Hoque, who works for a garment exporter in Dhaka.

“I fear clients will be reluctant to come for a while. Every incident is adding to that.”

Muhammad Zamir, a former senior foreign ministry official said the country was “going through a crisis”.

“It is a persisting trend of go-ing against principles of Islam,” Zamir said.

Zillur Rahman, a district council administrator, said initial indica-tions were the militants were young, probably in their early twen-ties or younger.

The situation had been brought under control but police were still checking for other militants, he said, adding prayers were held peacefully after the attack and police asked people to go home. (rtr)

Messi, who has won eight La Liga titles, four King’s Cups and four Champions League crowns with Barcelona, said last month he was quitting international soccer after the Argentine national side, of which he was captain, lost on penal-ties to Chile in the Copa America tournament.

His estimated income of $350 million in the past decade makes

him 10th on Forbes Magazine’s list of the world’s highest-earning athletes.

The sentence is not the first time Barcelona’s players have become tangled in tax evasion scandals.

In January, fellow Barcelona player Javier Mascherano accepted a one-year prison sentence for de-frauding authorities of over 1.5 mil-lion euros as part of a plea bargain, and also avoided jail time. Like Messi, he also pinned the blame on those who had advised him on his personal finances. (rtr)

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil’s interim President Michel Temer is optimistic that the country will stage a successful Rio Games, despite facing health and financial turmoil ahead of the Aug. 5-21 Olympics.

Brazil is witnessing one of the country’s worst recessions since the 1930s, while concerns over the Zika Virus, high crime rates, infrastruc-ture delays and political unrest have led to mounting scepticism about the viability of the Rio Games.

Temer, however, downplayed the concerns and insisted the coun-try was ready to welcome the esti-mated 500,000 visitors expected to attend the Games.

“Brazil is ready to receive all of the visitors who will be enjoy-ing the pleasure of watching the world’s elite international sports athletes compete,” Temer said in

a statement.“And, surely, we will have a

great deal to show the five billion viewers from around the world who will be watching the Games as well. Brazil awaits you with open arms.”

Temer, who took over from sus-pended President Dilma Rousseff, added that Brazil would draw on the experiences of hosting similar large-scale events in the past.

“This will not be Brazil’s first opportunity to show the world its capacity for organisation, and to welcome visitors warmly to a se-cure environment,” Temer added.

“We hosted the World Cup, the Pan-American Games, the World Military Games, World Youth Day and the Confederations Cup... all unanimous successes.

“And now, another success is on its way.” (rtr)

When the self-styled “old guy” of tennis stood match point down at 4-5 30-40 in the fourth set, it looked like he would be sucked deeper into the mire. When the 34-year-old stood another match point down two games later, the hole was getting wider.

When the Swiss stood yet another match point down at 6-7 in the tiebreak, he was hanging on by his fingernails.

However, Federer has not won a record 17 grand slam titles for nothing and he showed what makes him the ultimate champion as he performed not one, not two, not three but four great escapes during a nerve-shredding Wimbledon quarter-final.

It was little wonder that the earth shook under Centre Court as 15,000 hollering fans jumped to their feet to greet Federer’s astonishing 6-7(4) 4-6 6-3 7-6(9) 6-3 victory that kept alive the Swiss maestro’s dreams of an eighth Wimbledon trophy.

“When you’re down two sets to love, three-all, love-40, it’s a moment when it’s not in your control anymore,” Federer said after setting up a semi-final with Canadian sharp-shooter Milos Raonic.

“There were many more match points in my mind than just three today. But I fought, I tried, I believed. At the end I got it done.”

How he got it done defied logic.“I cannot believe Roger Federer won that match. Unbelievable

tennis. How did he get out of that?” gushed American great and Raonic’s coach John McEnroe.

“You’ve got to love the courage that he is able to find a way to do that, that is a killer loss.” (rtr)

How did Federer get out of that? Unbelievable

LONDON - When Roger Federer stood on the dusty baseline with the scoreboard showing he was trailing Marin Cilic 6-7 4-6 3-3 0-40, it looked like the man with the dodgy back was about to disappear into a giant Wimbledon sinkhole.

Portugal’s Nani

98 Friday, July 8, 2016

Sp rtFriday, July 8, 2016

The tournament has rejuvenated the 29-year-old forward, who once stood out with Ronaldo at Manchester United - before his star began to fade and Ronaldo went on to even greater glory at Real Madrid.

In France, the two former club team-mates are in perfect sync, with each scoring three goals to guide an imper-fect Portugal side into Sunday’s final at the Stade de France against either Germany or the tournament hosts.

“It’s an amazing moment. It’s a his-toric moment for our country and we have to celebrate,” Nani said.

Just three minutes after Ronaldo opened the scoring against Wales with a powerful header, Nani provided another devastating blow to Welsh hopes in Lyon. Timing his slide near the penalty spot just right, he turned an off-target shot by Ronaldo past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and into the Wales net. “It was a surprise goal,” Nani said. “It was instinct.”

His reward included a round of applause from the Portuguese fans when he was replaced by Ri-cardo Quaresma with three minutes to play.

Euro 2016 is proving to be a high point in the career of Nani, who followed in Ronaldo’s footsteps by starting out at Sporting Lisbon and later moving to Old Trafford. The two helped United win the 2008 Champions League before Ronaldo left for Madrid a year later.

Though he struggled to secure a first-team place, Nani won four Pre-mier League titles with United before returning to Sporting Lisbon on loan for a season in 2014. He was then signed by Fenerbahce in the Turkish league, a step down in the career lad-der.

However, his earlier goals at Euro 2016 - the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Iceland and a goal in the 3-3 draw with Hungary that saw Portugal squeak into the knockout stages - have not gone un-noticed.

Spanish league club Va-lencia announced on Tues-day that it had signed Nani to a three-year deal.

For the moment, though, his focus is on the national t e a m , w h i c h is back in a

Euro-p e a n

Champion-ship final for

the second time.Unlike Ronaldo,

Nani wasn’t there for Portugal’s previous

final on home soil in 2004, when it surprisingly

lost 1-0 to Greece in Lisbon. But now he will get the chance to help Portugal exorcise those demons from 12 years ago.

“We still have the final to go. I don’t have an explanation for the feeling at this moment,” Nani said. “But it’s not over.” (ap)

LYON — Wales ended its memo-rable run at the European Champion-ship tired, full of pride and serenaded by devoted fans.

When the Welsh national anthem, Land of My Fathers, reverberated one more time long after the final whistle, the Portugal fans who stayed after their team’s 2-0 victory in the semifinals applauded the sea of red shirts that still filled the other end of the stadium in Lyon.

“I’m prouder of this team than any team I’ve ever been involved in, be-cause I know what they’ve sacrificed to get to this stage,” Wales coach Chris Coleman said. “I’ve told them how proud I am of them, and the nation is proud of them.”

Wales goes home having won four games at Euro 2016, and topped its group. A Portugal team that placed third in its group, and won in 90 min-utes for the first time on Wednesday, goes on to the final.

“We’ve done plenty of winning, now it’s our turn to lose. It’s not a nice feeling,” said Coleman, adding that he hoped Portugal went on to win the title on Sunday, against France or Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo added to the mutual admiration.

Wales had been “a shining star here, they were the revelation team,” said the Portugal forward, who scored the opening goal early in the second half, and then provided the assist for Nani’s strike three minutes later.

“We just lost our concentration just for five minutes,” Coleman acknowl-edged. “You’re going to get punished. And unfortunately they capitalized on that.

“We were a little bit tired tonight,” the coach said, refusing to blame the loss of two key players to suspen-sions. Influential midfielder Aaron Ramsey and defender Ben Davies each collected second yellow cards of the tournament in the 3-1 win over Belgium in the quarterfinals.

Still, the replacements were excel-lent in the first half, especially James Collins in place of Davies. The ginger-bearded, shaven-headed Collins had a Viking-like look that called to mind Iceland’s robust spirit at Euro 2016.

Collins had physically dominated Ronaldo in the air early on, while

Andy King began by filling the Ram-sey role as an attacking threat deep in Portugal’s penalty area while doing tidy defensive duties.

The absence of Davies, however, pushed James Chester over to the left side of a three-man central defense — and that is where Ronaldo found space to hurt Wales.

Wales star Gareth Bale responded by throwing himself more vigorously into the challenge, earning a late yel-low card for a high boot into the face of Portugal defender Cedric Soares.

“He was trying everything to get us back into the game,” Coleman said of his talisman player with the team-first ethic.

Coleman believes Wales broke through a psychological barrier, play-ing at a first tournament in 58 years. Now he wants his players to show the same hunger and desire to qualify for the 2018 World Cup from a group that includes Austria and Ireland. “I think we will give the World Cup campaign a hell of a crack,” the coach said.

Sam aLLardYce is the obvious candidate to replace Roy Hodgson as England manager if the FA decide to go with a home-grown candidate for the job, former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has said.

A three-man panel of the Football Association (FA) has been tasked with finding a successor for Hodgson, who resigned following England’s

humiliating defeat to Iceland in the 2016 European Championship.

Gareth Southgate, the England under-21 coach, Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe, Hull City’s Steve Bruce and former England manager Glenn Hoddle are among those who have been linked with the job by the British media.

Ferguson, however, said Sunderland manager Al-lardyce’s experience of coaching in the English top flight

should make him the front-runner if the FA decide to ap-point a local.

“Sam’s the best English candidate because he’s in the Premier League,” the 74-year-old told Sky Sports.

“It’s very difficult to think of the right man and there are only three English managers in the Premier League. With Sam’s experience, he is the obvious choice.

“If it’s Sam, fine. But they have to have someone with the capabilities, the tactical awareness and the feel for the national side.” A 13-time Premier League winner with Unit-ed, Ferguson felt the gruelling domestic club schedule had played a role in England’s disappointing Euro campaign.

“The league programme English players go through -- to then play a major tournament after that makes it impos-sible,” he added.

“In Germany they have a rest in December and Janu-ary and teams who play in a better climate must be better prepared than English players.” (rtr)

WeSt Ham UNited’S bid to re-sign Carlos Tevez stalled because of the striker’s salary demands, the Premier League side’s co-chairman David Sullivan has said.

The 32-year-old returned to his native Argentina with childhood club Boca Juniors in 2015 after nine successful seasons in Europe, where he won league titles with English sides Manchester United and Man-chester City and Italy’s Juventus.

Tevez, who helped save West Ham from relegation during his one-year spell in the 2006-07 cam-paign, also had an outstanding final season with Juventus to help them

win the Serie A and the Coppa Italia and reach the Champions League final in 2015.

“We tried to get Tevez but he wanted 250,000 pounds ($324,325) a week. In his last year at Juven-tus he was great. But 250 grand a week!” Sullivan told British media.

“He’ll probably stay where he is now but he doesn’t pay a lot of tax down there. I actually offered him 150 grand a week to come back plus bonuses. I thought that was an incredible offer for someone who loves West Ham. “He was a fantastic player.” (rtr)

Portugal’s Nani

98 Friday, July 8, 2016

Sp rtFriday, July 8, 2016

The tournament has rejuvenated the 29-year-old forward, who once stood out with Ronaldo at Manchester United - before his star began to fade and Ronaldo went on to even greater glory at Real Madrid.

In France, the two former club team-mates are in perfect sync, with each scoring three goals to guide an imper-fect Portugal side into Sunday’s final at the Stade de France against either Germany or the tournament hosts.

“It’s an amazing moment. It’s a his-toric moment for our country and we have to celebrate,” Nani said.

Just three minutes after Ronaldo opened the scoring against Wales with a powerful header, Nani provided another devastating blow to Welsh hopes in Lyon. Timing his slide near the penalty spot just right, he turned an off-target shot by Ronaldo past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and into the Wales net. “It was a surprise goal,” Nani said. “It was instinct.”

His reward included a round of applause from the Portuguese fans when he was replaced by Ri-cardo Quaresma with three minutes to play.

Euro 2016 is proving to be a high point in the career of Nani, who followed in Ronaldo’s footsteps by starting out at Sporting Lisbon and later moving to Old Trafford. The two helped United win the 2008 Champions League before Ronaldo left for Madrid a year later.

Though he struggled to secure a first-team place, Nani won four Pre-mier League titles with United before returning to Sporting Lisbon on loan for a season in 2014. He was then signed by Fenerbahce in the Turkish league, a step down in the career lad-der.

However, his earlier goals at Euro 2016 - the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Iceland and a goal in the 3-3 draw with Hungary that saw Portugal squeak into the knockout stages - have not gone un-noticed.

Spanish league club Va-lencia announced on Tues-day that it had signed Nani to a three-year deal.

For the moment, though, his focus is on the national t e a m , w h i c h is back in a

Euro-p e a n

Champion-ship final for

the second time.Unlike Ronaldo,

Nani wasn’t there for Portugal’s previous

final on home soil in 2004, when it surprisingly

lost 1-0 to Greece in Lisbon. But now he will get the chance to help Portugal exorcise those demons from 12 years ago.

“We still have the final to go. I don’t have an explanation for the feeling at this moment,” Nani said. “But it’s not over.” (ap)

LYON — Wales ended its memo-rable run at the European Champion-ship tired, full of pride and serenaded by devoted fans.

When the Welsh national anthem, Land of My Fathers, reverberated one more time long after the final whistle, the Portugal fans who stayed after their team’s 2-0 victory in the semifinals applauded the sea of red shirts that still filled the other end of the stadium in Lyon.

“I’m prouder of this team than any team I’ve ever been involved in, be-cause I know what they’ve sacrificed to get to this stage,” Wales coach Chris Coleman said. “I’ve told them how proud I am of them, and the nation is proud of them.”

Wales goes home having won four games at Euro 2016, and topped its group. A Portugal team that placed third in its group, and won in 90 min-utes for the first time on Wednesday, goes on to the final.

“We’ve done plenty of winning, now it’s our turn to lose. It’s not a nice feeling,” said Coleman, adding that he hoped Portugal went on to win the title on Sunday, against France or Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo added to the mutual admiration.

Wales had been “a shining star here, they were the revelation team,” said the Portugal forward, who scored the opening goal early in the second half, and then provided the assist for Nani’s strike three minutes later.

“We just lost our concentration just for five minutes,” Coleman acknowl-edged. “You’re going to get punished. And unfortunately they capitalized on that.

“We were a little bit tired tonight,” the coach said, refusing to blame the loss of two key players to suspen-sions. Influential midfielder Aaron Ramsey and defender Ben Davies each collected second yellow cards of the tournament in the 3-1 win over Belgium in the quarterfinals.

Still, the replacements were excel-lent in the first half, especially James Collins in place of Davies. The ginger-bearded, shaven-headed Collins had a Viking-like look that called to mind Iceland’s robust spirit at Euro 2016.

Collins had physically dominated Ronaldo in the air early on, while

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil’s interim President Michel Temer is optimistic that the country will stage a successful Rio Games, despite facing health and financial turmoil ahead of the Aug. 5-21 Olympics.

Brazil is witnessing one of the country’s worst recessions since the 1930s, while concerns over the Zika Virus, high crime rates, infrastruc-ture delays and political unrest have led to mounting scepticism about the viability of the Rio Games.

Temer, however, downplayed the concerns and insisted the coun-try was ready to welcome the esti-mated 500,000 visitors expected to attend the Games.

“Brazil is ready to receive all of the visitors who will be enjoy-ing the pleasure of watching the world’s elite international sports athletes compete,” Temer said in

a statement.“And, surely, we will have a

great deal to show the five billion viewers from around the world who will be watching the Games as well. Brazil awaits you with open arms.”

Temer, who took over from sus-pended President Dilma Rousseff, added that Brazil would draw on the experiences of hosting similar large-scale events in the past.

“This will not be Brazil’s first opportunity to show the world its capacity for organisation, and to welcome visitors warmly to a se-cure environment,” Temer added.

“We hosted the World Cup, the Pan-American Games, the World Military Games, World Youth Day and the Confederations Cup... all unanimous successes.

“And now, another success is on its way.” (rtr)

When the self-styled “old guy” of tennis stood match point down at 4-5 30-40 in the fourth set, it looked like he would be sucked deeper into the mire. When the 34-year-old stood another match point down two games later, the hole was getting wider.

When the Swiss stood yet another match point down at 6-7 in the tiebreak, he was hanging on by his fingernails.

However, Federer has not won a record 17 grand slam titles for nothing and he showed what makes him the ultimate champion as he performed not one, not two, not three but four great escapes during a nerve-shredding Wimbledon quarter-final.

It was little wonder that the earth shook under Centre Court as 15,000 hollering fans jumped to their feet to greet Federer’s astonishing 6-7(4) 4-6 6-3 7-6(9) 6-3 victory that kept alive the Swiss maestro’s dreams of an eighth Wimbledon trophy.

“When you’re down two sets to love, three-all, love-40, it’s a moment when it’s not in your control anymore,” Federer said after setting up a semi-final with Canadian sharp-shooter Milos Raonic.

“There were many more match points in my mind than just three today. But I fought, I tried, I believed. At the end I got it done.”

How he got it done defied logic.“I cannot believe Roger Federer won that match. Unbelievable

tennis. How did he get out of that?” gushed American great and Raonic’s coach John McEnroe.

“You’ve got to love the courage that he is able to find a way to do that, that is a killer loss.” (rtr)

How did Federer get out of that? Unbelievable

LONDON - When Roger Federer stood on the dusty baseline with the scoreboard showing he was trailing Marin Cilic 6-7 4-6 3-3 0-40, it looked like the man with the dodgy back was about to disappear into a giant Wimbledon sinkhole.

The sanctions, the first to tar-get any North Koreans for rights abuses, affect property and other assets within the U.S. jurisdiction. They include 10 other individuals besides Kim and five government ministries and departments, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

“Under Kim Jong Un, North Ko-rea continues to inflict intolerable cruelty and hardship on millions of its own people, including extraju-dicial killings, forced labour, and torture,” Acting Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intel-ligence Adam J. Szubin said in the statement.

But inside North Korea, adula-

tion for Kim, 32, is mandatory and he is considered infallible. A 2014 report by the United Nations, which referred to Kim by name in con-nection to human rights, triggered a strong reaction from Pyongyang, including a string of military provo-cations.

Earlier this year, Congress passed a new law requiring U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver a report within 120 days to Congress on human rights in North Korea. It had designate for sanctions anyone found responsible for human rights violations. Kim Jong Un, the third generation of his family to rule the Stalinist state, topped the list.

The U.S. Treasury Department

identified Kim’s date of birth as Jan. 8, 1984, a rare official con-firmation of the young leader’s birthday.

Many of the abuses are in North Korea’s prison camps, which hold between 80,000 and 120,000 peo-ple including children, the report said.

The five agencies designated were two ministries that run North Korea’s secret police and their correctional services, which oper-ate the prison camps. Also named were the ruling Workers’ Party’s Organization and Guidance Depart-ment (OGD), a key bureau used by Kim to wield control of the party and the government.

The sanctions also named lower-level officials, such as Minister of People’s Security Choe Pu Il, as directly responsible for abuses. (rtr)

DHAKA - Militants on Thurs-day attacked Bangladeshi police guarding the country’s biggest fes-tival marking the end of Ramadan, killing three people and wounding 14, days after Islamic State claimed a major attack in the capital and warned of more violence.

At least five militants attacked a police post in Kishoreganj town, about 140 km (90 miles) from the capital, Dhaka, with small bombs and then set upon police with “sharp weapons”, said chief district administrator, Mohammad Azimuddin Biswas.

Up to 300,000 people had gath-ered for a prayer service to mark the Eid al-Fitr festival in the town at the time of the violence, nearly a week after militants killed 20 people in an attack on a cafe in Dhaka claimed by Islamic State.

One policeman was killed in a blast and another was stabbed to death. A woman was also killed.

Two attackers were killed and three were arrested, officials said. It was not immediately clear what group they belonged to.

The assault is the latest in a surge in militant violence in the South Asian nation of 160 million

that threatens lives as well as its economic wellbeing.

The country depends heavily on its $26 billion garment export sector and insecurity is making foreigners nervous.

“This is very shocking. We are anxious. It is creating an image crisis. Customers are worried,” said Muhammad Saiful Hoque, who works for a garment exporter in Dhaka.

“I fear clients will be reluctant to come for a while. Every incident is adding to that.”

Muhammad Zamir, a former senior foreign ministry official said the country was “going through a crisis”.

“It is a persisting trend of go-ing against principles of Islam,” Zamir said.

Zillur Rahman, a district council administrator, said initial indica-tions were the militants were young, probably in their early twen-ties or younger.

The situation had been brought under control but police were still checking for other militants, he said, adding prayers were held peacefully after the attack and police asked people to go home. (rtr)

him 10th on Forbes Magazine’s list of the world’s highest-earning athletes.

The sentence is not the first time Barcelona’s players have become tangled in tax evasion scandals.

In January, fellow Barcelona player Javier Mascherano accepted a one-year prison sentence for de-frauding authorities of over 1.5 mil-lion euros as part of a plea bargain, and also avoided jail time. Like Messi, he also pinned the blame on those who had advised him on his personal finances. (rtr)

Weakening demand for tradi-tional retailers has added to trouble for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which has had slow and uneven growth since its first China outlet opened in 1996. It tried to expand into online retailing but sold its operation last month to China’s No. 2 e-commerce operator.

Its labor tensions reflect rising expectations among workers to share in China’s prosperity and a shift by the ruling Communist Party away from treating them only as a source of labor toward trying to create a consumer society.

Employees said Wal-Mart wants them to work 11-hour shifts on weekends and as little as four hours on weekdays under a system it started to roll out in June. Some said that might result in lower pay and interfere with their ability to work second jobs.

Last week, staff members pro-tested on Friday and Saturday outside Wal-Mart stores in the cities of Nanchang and Shenzhen in southern China, Chengdu in the west and Harbin in the northeast, according to employees and two labor rights groups.

More than half the Nanchang store’s workforce of 200 employ-ees took part, according to an em-ployee. Some carried banners that said, “Wal-Mart workers stand up and oppose fraud.” In a written re-sponse to questions, Wal-Mart said it is “planning a series of initiatives to enhance and upgrade Walmart China’s overall talent management system.”

The company didn’t answer questions about how scheduling and working conditions would change or how the protests affected its operations.

“We have communicated with Walmart China associates and a majority of associates support the new system,” the statement said, using the company’s term for its employees. “For those associates who need additional information, we are communicating with them on a consistent basis.”

Wal-Mart faced similar criticism in the United States over its “just in time” scheduling system, which employees said changed work hours at short notice and reduced pay for some. The company said in February its U.S. stores would switch to allowing employees the option of working fixed hours or putting together schedules in two-week blocks.

In contrast to its American op-erations, Wal-Mart’s Chinese work-force of 100,000 is represented by unions, though employees complain those Communist Party-controlled groups often side with companies instead of pushing for better wages and working conditions.

Wal-Mart was one of the highest-profile targets of a 2006 campaign led by the ruling party to have the country’s umbrella labor group, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, set up unions at foreign companies.

Managers presented the new scheduling system in May and encouraged employees to sign new contracts to authorize the change, according to employees. Under Chinese law, full-time employees work under two-year contracts.

“The workload is very heavy because we have to stand for 11 hours,” said another employee of the Nanchang store, who asked not to be identified by name for fear of trouble with the company or Chi-nese authorities. “All the employees felt it was too difficult and were very unhappy.” Employees were told they could keep working under previous contracts if they wanted, but those who did so found their paychecks were smaller because meal subsidies and other payments were eliminated, according to the employee in Nanchang.

An activist group, China Labor Watch, said employees were pres-sured to sign the contracts by being told they could not leave meetings where the new system was an-nounced until they did. Wal-Mart did not respond to a question about whether that happened.

Employees expressed concern the system could be abused to induce unwanted workers to quit by giving them awkward shifts, eliminating the need to pay sever-ance.

Traditional retailers have been battered as Chinese shoppers shift to shopping online. Total retail sales rose 10 percent in May compared with a year earlier but that was down from 13 percent in 2014. Meanwhile, online commerce grew by more than 30 percent.

Wal-Mart, headquartered in Ben-tonville, Arkansas, has expanded to 433 stores in China, but that is less than one-tenth as many as its 4,655 outlets in the United States.

Wal-Mart bought a stake in on-line retailer Yihaodian in 2011 and took full control last year. But after gaining a market share of just 1.6 percent, it gave up last month and turned over ownership to JD.com. In exchange, it got a 5 percent stake in the Chinese company. Phone calls

Wednesday to ACFTU branches in Nanchang, Chengdu and Shenzhen weren’t answered.

Frustration among Wal-Mart em-ployees with the ACFTU prompted some to start an informal group called the Wal-Mart Chinese Em-ployee Fellowship in 2014, ac-cording to Zhang Jun, who said he was a spokesman for the group. He worked as an electrician at a Wal-Mart in the eastern city of Yantai from 2011 until last December.

The group’s 20,000 members — about 20 percent of Wal-Mart’s China workforce — use social media to communicate, according to Zhang.

They divide themselves into small groups in line with regula-tions aimed at suppressing dissent by limiting the number of accounts that can be linked together. Authori-ties have investigated whether the group received money from foreign organizations, according to China Labour Bulletin, a research group

in Hong Kong.On Wednesday, employees ex-

pressed concern Wal-Mart’s new system would make them part-time workers who would not be entitled to compensation in the event of layoffs.

A cashier who has worked at the Nanchang store for more than five years said her monthly pay of about 1,400 to 1,600 yuan ($215 to $245) has fallen by about 74 yuan ($11) under the new system. The legal minimum monthly wage in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, is 1,530 yuan ($235).

Employees are unlikely to get a raise in the next few years, said the cashier, who asked not to be identified by name for fear of re-taliation.

“What worries us more is that they are preparing for the fu-ture,” said the cashier. “Will we be cut off in the future and get no compensation, like the part-time workers?”(ap)

Wal-Mart in China faces employee protests

BEIJING — Wal-Mart faces protests by employees in China over what they say is a drastic change in work schedules as the company overhauls its struggling business amid an economic slowdown and competition from e-commerce.

Wal-Mart faces protests by employees in China over what they say is a drastic change in work schedules under a system rolled out in June 2016 as the company overhauls its struggling business amid slowing economic growth and competition from e-commerce.

National police chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti said Rohman evaded arrest in a police counter-terrorism operation in late 2015 and be-longed to a militant group whose members included Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian in Syria who police say coordinated the Jan. 14 attack in the Indonesian capital Jakarta that killed eight people including four militants.

An official with the police’s anti-terror squad said Naim and Rohman had been neighbors in Solo. Both were influenced by the radical cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who was the spiritual leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah militants respon-

sible for the 2002 bombings on the tourist island of Bali that killed 202 people.

Indonesia has carried out a sus-tained crackdown on Islamic mili-tants since the Bali tragedy. Militant networks have been weakened and recent attacks have been small in scale but ideological inspiration from the Islamic State group has provided the impetus for some local radicals to regroup.

The Solo attack occurred a day before predominantly Muslim In-donesia, and Muslims worldwide, celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of the fasting month.

“This was done by terrorism net-

works that continue to regenerate,” said Maj. Gen. Condro Kirono, chief of Central Java Police. “Whether it is an old or new network will be revealed by the investigation,” he said. TV footage showed a limited amount of damage on the street and the attacker’s partially destroyed motorcycle.

Solo, the hometown of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, is known as a hotbed of Islamic radicalism in Java, one of Indonesia’s main islands. The city is home to the fundamentalist Al Mukmin Islamic boarding school founded by Bashir, which produced a generation of violent militants.

Kirono said a bomb squad combed the area around police headquarters for explosives and extra security precautions will be taken for Wednesday’s Eid al-Fitr prayers in the city. Jokowi con-demned the violence and called on Indonesians to be calm but vigilant during Eid.(ap)

CONCORD — A U.S. Army soldier who participated in a scheme to buy guns and send them to a security detail for the president and vice president of Indonesia plead guilty Wednesday to several charges in federal court.

Audi Sumilat pleaded guilty Tuesday and will be sentenced in October, the U.S. attorney’s office in New Hampshire said. The 36-year-old faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

One of Sumilat’s co-conspirators also has been charged and is scheduled to be tried on July 19.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Morse said there have been cases in New Hampshire and other states involving international firearms trafficking to countries including Ghana, Canada and Mexico.

“But this is the first case that I’m aware of in which the intended beneficiaries of the trafficking were representatives of a foreign gov-ernment,” Morse said.

Authorities said Sumilat joined a conspiracy to buy guns in Texas and New Hampshire for members of the Indonesian Presidential Guard, who are tasked with providing security to the president and vice president but could not lawfully buy the weapons themselves.

Sumilat admitted he and three guard members came up with a plan in 2014, when they were stationed together for training in Fort Ben-ning, Georgia.

Sumilat said he bought guns in Texas and shipped them to a co-conspirator in New Hampshire, who delivered them to guard members on visits to Washington, D.C., and to the U.N. General Assembly in New York. The guns were to be smuggled out of the United States.

Sumilat pleaded guilty to making false statements in records required to be kept by federal firearms dealers for telling gun dealers the weapons were for him and for smuggling firearms from the U.S.

To have legally exported the guns, Sumilat was required to get an exporter’s license and a license covering the specific guns exported. No licenses were issued.

New Hampshire U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice said the conse-quences of international gun trafficking can be grave.

“Firearms exported overseas illegally can easily end up in the wrong hands,” she said in a statement. “International gun trafficking will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible to protect innocent individu-als, both American and foreign, from the criminal use of U.S. weapons abroad.”(ap)

JAKARTA - As many as 63,170 prisoners across Indonesia had their jail terms commuted as part of a special remission program in connection with Eid al-Fitr that falls on July 6.

“It is not only a moment of victory for Muslims. The Eid also brings a present that most prisoners who are Muslims, wait for, that is, the special Eid al-Fitr remission,” the spokesman of the directorate gen-eral of penitentiaries, M. Akbar Hadiprabowo, said in a press release received here on Wednesday.

Based on the law, the Eid remission is given to Muslim prison-ers who meet administrative as well as substantive requirements, including the condition that they should have served their jail term for a minimum of six months and are not listed in the F Register (prisoners having violated discipline) and should be active in coun-seling programs.

The special Eid remission is granted in two categories. The RK-1 Remission is given to those who will have to serve the rest of their jail terms even after the remission while RK-2 Remission is meant for those who will be free when their sentence is remitted. A total of 62,470 prisoners fell in RK-1 category while 700 fell in RK-2 this year.

The number of prisoners who will be receiving remissions this year went up from 54,434 in 2015.

According to the data of the directorate general of penitentiaries, there were a total of 198,911 prisoners in 477 penitentiaries/detention centers across Indonesia till July 2016.(ant)

Local authorities believed the attack was carried out by a militant network that targets police and other security forces, Chief of Central Java Police Maj. Gen. Condro Kirono said.

Suspected militant dies in Indonesia suicide bombing

JAKARTA — Indonesian police said the militant who died in a suicide bombing Tuesday outside police headquarters in the city of Solo was linked to a leading figure among the Indonesian radicals with the Islamic State group in Syria. One policeman sustained minor injuries in the attack that unfolded about 7.30 a.m. local time as the attacker, provisionally identified by police as 30-year-old Nur Rohman, tried to enter the police complex on his motorbike.

BEIJING - The United States should do nothing to harm China’s sovereignty and security in the South China Sea, China’s foreign minister told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, ahead of a key court ruling on China’s claims in the disputed waterway.

Speaking by telephone on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Kerry the United States should stick to its promises not to take sides in the dispute, China’s foreign ministry said.

China hopes the United States “speaks and acts cau-tiously, and take no actions that harm China’s sovereignty and security interests”, the statement paraphrased Wang as saying.

Tensions and rhetoric have been rising ahead of a July 12 ruling by an arbitration court hearing the dispute between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea in the Dutch city of The Hague.

China is conducting military exercises around the Paracel Islands in the north of the region this week, while U.S. Navy officials said on Thursday that U.S. destroyers had been patrolling around Chinese-held reefs and islands in the contested Spratly Islands to the south.

While not close enough to be within 12 nautical miles - a so-called freedom of navigation operation that would require high level approval - the destroyers operated within 14 to 20 nautical miles of the Chinese-occupied features, the Navy Times reported.

The USS Ronald Reagan and its escort ships have also been patrolling the South China Sea since last week.

“All of these patrols are conducted in accordance with international law and all are consistent with routine Pacific Fleet presence throughout the Western Pacific,” Pacific Fleet spokesman Lieutenant Clint Ramsden told Reuters. (rtr)

There were signs that the po-litical instability after Saturday’s cliffhanger election was beginning to take its toll on the Australian economy, with Standard and Poor’s cutting Australia’s credit rating outlook to negative from stable, threatening a downgrade of its coveted triple A status.

Turnbull flew to northern Queensland state to win reluctant support from Bob Katter, a mav-erick former member of the ruling conservative coalition who is now a potential kingmaker if Turnbull is unable to win the 76 lower house seats needed to form government outright.

“Today we are announcing our support ... for a Turnbull govern-ment. I do so with no great enthu-siasm,” Katter told reporters. “I will maintain my right to change at any point of time in the future.”

Katter’s support gives Turn-bull’s coalition a total of 74 seats,

according to the latest Australian Broadcasting Corp. projections, as vote counting continues.

Labor is projected to win 66 seats, meaning they would need to win the six seats still being counted and do deals with all the four remaining independents to form government - a scenario considered extremely unlikely by pollsters.

“I remain confident that we will form a government, and we will unite the parliament as far as we are able to,” Turnbull told reporters after meeting Katter.

“We will unite the nation in a common purpose to continue to en-sure that we have strong economic growth,” he said.

Turnbull, however, will realisti-cally only scrape through with the slimmest of margins and faces an even more hostile upper house Senate, making it difficult for him to pass planned economic reforms. (rtr)

Australian PM wins key support, edges closer to forming government

SYDNEY - Embattled Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appeared likely to retain power after gaining the sup-port of a key independent on Thursday, although the closeness of the vote signalled more tough political and economic times ahead.

Though being threatened by huge waves, some residents decided to stay at their homes, but they are very restless. Sri Ani, 80, an elderly person whose home become the victim of the raging ocean waves claimed to still hold on at her remaining home because of having no money to move. Moreover, she lives alone on the edge of the beach.

“I do not know where to go because of having no place anymore. I will hold on here. Hopefully, the seawater will not be getting bigger and will not disrupt my home or reach this location,” she hoped.

She told that she cannot sleep every night. She is worried if big waves will hit her house. Seawater has reached at some parts of her destroyed home.

Juhri, another resident, admitted that even though the waves often hit the wall of his house, he had no choice but holds on in the house having been occupied for decades. Similar condition was also experienced by Parno, a grandfather, who survives in a house with cracked walls because it con-tinues to be hit by waves.

These residents, whose home directly bordered with the sea, hoped the govern-ment could quickly help prevent the abra-sion from spreading and eroding their own lands.

In the meantime, Chairman of the Jem-brana House of Representatives, Ketut Sugiasa, admitted to be apprehensive with the damaged condition of the beach. More-over, dozens of homes have been destroyed. Sugiasa has made coordination for the in-stallation of culvert on the each to protect the road so as not to break up.

He hoped all parties could help provide temporary mitigation. “We are still fighting to central government. Maybe it can get the realization. We must find out a short-term solution for this,” he explained.

When making a working visit at the Nusantara Fishery Port (PPN) of Pengam-bengan, some time ago, the Minister of Ma-rine and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti ordered his subordinates to build a breakwater in the fishing village hit by disasters such as abrasion. (kmb)

PARIS - Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is in full swing, and it’s set to highlight the fall-winter 2016-2017 collections of elite fashion houses. As expected, celebrities are as much a part of the show as the clothes on the catwalk.

Singer Céline Dion made her first appearance at the shows this

season at Dior, where she stopped to pose by the stairs in black leather pants and a jacket that dealt boughs below the belt. Dion recently hired stylist Law Roach, known for dressing Zendaya and Ruby Rose. He’s taken to robing the singer in Balmain, Jil Sander, Givenchy and Saint Laurent. But Monday was all about Christian Dior.

The fashion world continues to find the Hadid sisters on trend. Though Gigi Hadid strutted for almost every major label back in March during Paris Fashion Week, her sister Bella Hadid is the early star of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Today she took to Instagram to beam her cat eyes at Dior. (IBP/net)

For instance, the movement rejecting the Benoa Bay reclama-tion is also voiced by Sekaa Taruna or customary youth club of Pande hamlet, Abiansemal and Kumara Canti customary youth club, Petang Kelod hamlet, Petang, Sunday (Jul. 3).

The action by hundreds of Bali-nese youths and ForBali requested the President Joko Widodo to revoke the Presidential Regulation No.51/2014 and return the Benoa Bay area into a conservation area. The crowd began to move from the Abiansemal village to Petang village.

“The Benoa Bay area poses a sublime estuary, namely the loca-tion where seawater meets river water,” shouted the head of the Teruna Karya customary youth club, Pande hamlet, Abiansemal, I Gede Putra Dananjaya.

According to him, in the Hindu concept, estuary is a sacred area that cannot be tampered with and exchanged with money. To that end, they requested the president to revoke the Presidential Regulation No. 51/2014.

Putra Dananjaya accompanied by the chief of Pande hamlet I Ketut Sulatra said that based on the assembly taking place on June 11, 2016, it was decided that Ter-una Karya customary youth club amounting to152 people rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation in disguise of revitalization. “We consider it (the reclamation plan—Ed) is only a reason for a greedy investment,” he said.

Chief of the Kumara Canti cus-

tomary youth club, Petang Kelod hamlet, Petang, Putu Yudhi Antara, also had the reclamation plan can-celed. Bali has a lot of tourist desti-nations, so that it no longer requires new tourist destinations.

“The ecological impacts of the plan should also be considered. In addition, the population density in South Bali will increase with the presence of the tourist accommoda-

tion development due to the Benoa Bay reclamation,” he said.

On that account, he asked the president to revoke the Presiden-tial Regulation No.51/2014 and restore the Benoa Bay area as a conservation area. “A maritime nation does not need to reclaim the sea,” he screamed while ending to his speech in front of the Petang Market.

In the meantime, the headman of Petang, Wayan Suryantara, also gave speeches on the rejection against the Benoa Bay reclama-tion. Though living in the region of North Badung, he firmly rejected the Benoa Bay reclamation. “As

a Hindu, we have a tradition, art and culture based on the Tri Hita Karana (concept on harmony),” he said.

He said that Tri Hita Karana concept is not only enough by speaking it, but it must be imple-mented really. “We have moun-tains and oceans, we may indeed utilize them, but do not disrupt it. If they are damaged, what will happen to the next generation?” he asked.

He also admitted that Benoa Bay retains many sacred areas. As the Hindus, we are obliged to keep and preserve the sacred places. “Dear villagers of Petang and the authori-

ties please do accept our apologies if there are unfavorable things when expressing our aspiration to reject the reclamation in disguise of revitalizing the Benoa Bay,” he concluded.

In addition to speeches, vari-ous attributes of Reject Recla-mation, such as flag of ForBali and banners with the wording ‘Rejecting Benoa Bay reclama-tion in disguise of revitalization’ was stretched on the road. This routine action was also jazzed up with baleganjur gamelan orches-tra. Aside from making cultural parade, the youths also gave ora-tion alternately. (kmb27)

TABANAN - When entering long holiday, government agencies and a number of private companies are on holiday. However, appar-ently it does not apply for janitors and the Tabanan Sanitation and Landscaping Agency (DKP). Hun-dreds of janitors are alerted to clean up the garbage as on normal days.

The Head of the Tabanan Sani-tation and Landscaping Agency, I Wayan Sugatra, said that if all the

civil servants and contracted offi-cers in the government of Tabanan take long holiday, the DKP officers and janitors continue to conduct their task. Moreover, his agency has also made the list of officers on duty during the Eid holiday.

Aside from the janitors, the supervisors of sanitation denoting civil servants are equally unable to take full holiday because they must be on duty to control sanitation

condition at a number of locations in Tabanan. “Supervisors have the task to monitor. If there are some garbage piling up, it will soon be known and immediately order the janitors to immediately transport it. Thus, the sanitation can be always maintained,” he said, Monday (Jul. 4).

Further, he added that the su-pervisors are on duty from 07:00 through 13:00. Prior to carrying out

their activities, his agency has even to gather all the officers and provide guidance for the implementation of the tasks in the field coupled with the distribution of working uniform as motivation to work.

According to Sugatra, a total of 530 officers ranging from janitors, street sweepers, garbage hauling to processing officers at final disposal site will remain standby to clean up all the garbage. “There is no

holiday for janitors. This has been in accordance with the terms of their work and no additional fees are given,” he said.

Sugatra predicted the amount of garbage per day to decrease from normal days. This happens because during long holiday the people of Tabanan usually spend their time outside the city. Besides, many migrants return to their home vil-lage. (kmb28)

COVER STORYAdi Nugroho, Chief of the

Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Bali explained that inflation oc-curs due to the increase in price indicated by the rise in index of the six types of expenses, namely the foodstuff group with inflation of 1.02 percent, transport, com-munications and financial service (0.54 percent), processed foods, beverages, cigarettes and tobacco (0.33 percent), housing, water, electricity, gas and fuel (0.13 per-cent), clothing (0.07 percent), as well as the health (0.02 percent). As for education, recreation, and sport showed a deflation of 0.06 percent. Commodities experienc-ing price increases include apples, oranges, pears, chicken, boiled tuna, air freight rate and electricity rates. In the meantime, the price of commodity indicating decline in June 2016 includes shallot, red chili, spinach, sweet corn, young jackfruit, papaya and banana.

In the meantime, the Dean of the Faculty of Economy, Warmadewa University, Dr. I Made Sara, as-

sessed that inflation of Bali is under control, below the national inflation rate due to commitment of the gov-ernment and community so that it is not affected by external condition. “Indeed this needs to be main-tained. In other words, the efforts have been anticipated earlier so that does not move after it happens. The anticipation must be taken by the government, community and producer. This should really in-volve synergy, while the previous one was like firefighters that move when the problem arises,” he said, Saturday (Jul. 2).

According to him, the antici-pation against inflation must be programmed. At least, there are measures to anticipate people’s needs. For example, the govern-ment conducts a cheap market related to people’s basic needs and functions the institution like the lo-gistics agency (Bulog). “Bulog has started to refresh the price of basic commodities such as oil and rice. It must explain to people through exhibition and direct sales. Thus, it can eventually cut off or brake each producer and seller from raising the price,” he explained.

He also added that the price

control can be done by making co-operation and activate cooperative. Cooperative is one of the media that can be used to control prices. All this time, the cooperative seems to be rivaled by rural credit agency (LPD), while so far the LPD only distributes finance in the neighbor-hood. “Probably people may forget if the cooperative can also sell basic needs of society so that cooperative only runs the business of savings and loan,” he added.

Finally people must buy to supermarket, whereas the coop-erative can actually prepare the needs so that prices can be under control. Many media can be used to control this inflation, while the rest needed is only the govern-ment’s commitment to encourage the public and producers to work together. Theoretically, it has been complete, but the implementation can bring in difficulties and, even-tually overlaps.

Britain Exit (brexit) is also deemed not to affect the inflation in Indonesia or Bali. However, it needs anticipation from the beginning. “So far, the effect of Brexit has not been experienced as it just happened. However, Bali

can actually survive with its small industry and craftsmen supported by coaching to small industry and craftsmen,” he said. The SMEs or craftsmen should not be monopo-lized in the product marketing, especially with the presence of souvenir market owned by large investors.

“Actually, we should slow it down slightly,” he added. If large investors still want to run the busi-ness like that, craftsmen must be protected. Large investors only

mediate, not sell product and allow craftsmen to manage by them-selves. By doing so, they will not be affected by global conditions.

Indeed brexit has not had an impact yet, but it should be antici-pated and watched out because it has something to do with interna-tional relations. He hoped it will not have too negative impact, but has positive impact on the rise of the MSMEs; the rupiah can strengthen as well as the community welfare improves. (kmb42)

JAKARTA - Eid holiday coinciding to fall with school holidays encour-ages the increase in the mobility of domestic travelers this year. Ministry of tourism estimated the movement of domestic travelers will reach its peak when the Eid holiday arrives.

“Domestic trip is estimated to reach an average of 20 million per month and homecoming travel reaches 18 million trips. Thus, the total journey of domestic travel-ers reaches around 38 million trips,” said Deputy of Domestic Tourism Marketing (DP3N), Ministry of Tourism, Esthy Reko Astuty.

In particular, said Esthy, the Eid holiday indeed encourages an increase in the move-ment of domestic travelers to make a trip in the country and greatly contribute to the mobilization target of domestic travelers this year as many as 260 million trips with the money spent at IDR 223.6 trillion.

According to her, the macro condition of tourism in Indonesia in 2016 is quite bright. To that end, her agency sets a higher target this year, especially in terms of the movement of domestic travelers, and all the tourism stakeholders are expected to be

an entrepreneur having carefulness to see the opportunity in every existing moment or event.

As one of the supports for the increas-ingly smooth Eid tradition, the ministry of tourism published an official homecoming route map plus including some packages and tourist destinations in Sumatra, Java, and Bali. “This route map does not only carry information about the trips but also tour packages that may be favored by travelers,” said Esthy.

She said that so far the map of homecom-ing route has begun to be distributed mostly in the capital city of Jakarta as the center of the largest concentration of homecomers in Indonesia. The distribution is mostly carried out in Jakarta because the ministry of tour-ism predicted that millions of homecomers will depart from Jakarta this year.

Various promotional activities are held by the ministry of tourism to mobilize domestic travelers and minimize overseas holiday. Through the branding Pesona Indonesia, dozens of local festivals, culinary festivals, travel fairs, promotion of mass media and outdoor promotion are carried out sustain-ably in pursuit of the target movement of domestic travelers.

Nani helps Ronaldo lead Portugal into Euro 2016 final

“My dad was shooting a minise-ries in London at the time, and so I went straight to his house, and he loved to cook,” Skarsgard told Reu-ters at the London premiere of “The Legend of Tarzan” on Tuesday.

“I went straight to his house after wrap and spent four to five days on his couch just being fed. Incredible weekend.”

The new Tarzan film, based on

the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs and out in UK theaters on July 6, is woven into the real life story of African-American historian George Washington Williams, who trav-eled to the Congo and condemned Belgium’s King Leopold II for his harsh and brutal treatment of the Congolese people.

Tarzan has also appeared in nu-merous comic books since its debut,

making the film the latest in a long line of recent comic book adapta-tions for the big screen. The film’s director David Yates, best known for directing four “Harry Potter” films, said the comic book genre is not yet in danger of tiring out audiences.

“I think the comic book genre will constantly evolve. Because it is a genre that contains stories and characters that can go in any direc-tion so I as a place for theater it will probably be with us for a little bit longer yet,” he said. “Marvel do an amazing job and they’re bright enough to take those worlds in dif-ferent directions.” (rtr)

The Spanish court handed the same sentence to the Argentine player’s father, Jorge Horacio, with a 1.5 million euro fine. Both defendants said they would appeal to the supreme court.

“The sentence is not correct and we are confident the appeal will show the defence was right,” Messi’s lawyers said in a statement. They added Messi had always acted in good faith.

Spanish law is such that any sentence under two years for a non-violent crime rarely requires a defendant without previous convic-

tions to serve jail time. A spokes-woman for the court confirmed that Messi, 29, was unlikely to be imprisoned.

Messi, five times World Player of the Year and one of the world’s highest-earning athletes with an estimated income of $350 mil-lion in the past 10 years, plays for Barcelona football club where he is the leading goal scorer of all time.

The court in Barcelona said in a ruling that Messi and his father defrauded the Spanish tax office of almost 4.2 million euros between

2007 and 2009 by using a web of shell companies to evade taxes on income from the player’s image rights.

The companies - with names such as Sport Consultants and Sport Enterprises - were based in countries such as Belize, Uruguay, Switzerland and Britain where leg-islation kept the identities of their owners secret, it said.

Messi admitted during the trial in early June to signing contracts pro-tecting his image rights but said he had no knowledge he was commit-ting any wrongdoing or defrauding the Spanish state.

He said his father had control over his financial affairs, but the court said on Wednesday that this was not enough to avoid charges

and Messi’s “ignorance” did not remove responsibility.

“The information that the ac-cused avoided having was, in real-ity, within his reach via trustworthy and accessible sources,” the presid-ing judge, Mercedes Armas Galve, wrote in the ruling.

BARCELONA’S TOP GOAL SCORER

Messi, who has held Spanish na-tionality since 2005, and his father already had paid 5 million euros to the tax authorities as a “corrective” measure after formal investigations were opened.

Jorge Horacio Messi said dur-ing the trial that he was acting on advice from advisers who told him the practice was legal.

Barcelona football club said in a statement following the ruling that it not consider the player to be in any way criminally respon-sible.

“FC Barcelona continues to be at the disposal of Leo Messi and his family to support him in whatever action he decides to take in defence of his honesty and his legal inter-ests,” the club said.
