New NIC trustees receive warm welcome, address accreditation concernsIsraeli officials said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet is planning to meet on Tuesday to discuss a ceasefire proposal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which could mark the first agreement of its kind with the Lebanese militia or with Hamas since the conflict erupted with both groups on October 7th of last year. PUBLICIDAD The Israeli ambassador in Washington stated that this agreement could be finalized "in a matter of days." Mike Herzog declared to the Israeli Army Radio that there are still "points to finalize" and any agreement requires government approval. He noted, however, that "we are close to an agreement" and "it could happen in a matter of days." PUBLICIDAD According to the information provided by CNN, Netanyahu began talking to Israeli officials on Sunday and this time he would be inclined to approve it. His spokesperson said he expects the agreement to be ratified. What are the details of the potential ceasefire? Outstanding issues include Israel's demand to reserve the right to take action in case Hezbollah violates its obligations as provided for in the agreement. The agreement aims to withdraw the political-paramilitary group and the Israeli forces from southern Lebanon. According to information from the New York Times , Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days, while Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River . The Lebanese army would be in charge of this exclusion zone. Israel has accused Hezbollah of not adhering to the United Nations resolution that ended the 2006 war between the two parties, in which similar provisions were established. In turn, Lebanon claims that Israel also violated the 2006 resolution and complains that Israeli military aircraft and warships enter Lebanese territory even when there is no active conflict. At the moment, it is unknown if Lebanon will accept the demand. Will the agreement be finalized this time? The optimism surrounding an agreement comes after a high-ranking US envoy held talks with both parties last week in an attempt to end the conflict. In any case, far-right groups, which are fundamental for the alliance under which Netanyahu governs, are opposed to a ceasefire. Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said that "an agreement with Lebanon is a big mistake. A historic missed opportunity to eradicate Hezbollah...As I warned before in Gaza, I now warn as well: Prime Minister, it is not too late to stop this agreement! We must continue until absolute victory!" The Joe Biden administration, which dispatched a negotiator last week, hopes that the agreement will be finalized before Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated this Thursday in the United States. Hezbollah began attacking Israel on October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas's incursion into southern Israel that triggered over a year of fighting. These attacks escalated into a large-scale war with an intense Israeli aerial offensive in Lebanon, followed by a ground incursion into the southern part of the country. The Lebanese militia has launched thousands of rockets towards Israeli cities and towns, including around 250 on Sunday. In turn, Israel has caused thousands of deaths in attacks in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, controlled by Hezbollah. Additionally, at the end of September, they killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the organization.

Haryana Police and the Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE) jointly inaugurated India’s first Traffic Engineering Centre (TEC) and Organisational Development Centre (ODC) at the Traffic Towers, Gurugram, on Friday, said officials on Saturday. The centres, which is already operational, aim to improve traffic management and road safety, officials said. The initiative, supported by Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF) through its corporate social responsibility (CRS) funding, focuses on improving traffic management efficiency, reducing accidents, and enhancing road safety standards in Gurugram and other metropolitan cities, officials added. Speaking at the inauguration, Haryana director general of police Shatrujeet Kapur said, “This centre will significantly improve Gurugram’s traffic management, reduce road accidents, and save lives. It represents a collaborative effort to transform road safety in India.” The TEC is equipped with over 1,100 cameras for real-time road monitoring, allowing swift communication between the control room and on-ground personnel during peak traffic hours or accidents. Officials said that this system would help reduce response times, clear congestion efficiently, and improve commuter safety. Dr Rohit Baluja, president of IRTE, called the centres a “historic public-private partnership milestone.” He added, “We are proud to launch these transformative centres, which will set new benchmarks in traffic management and organisational development. We are grateful to Hyundai Motor India Foundation and Gurugram Police for their active support in this initiative.” The centres will also provide training for police officers in areas such as traffic enforcement, road safety audits, accident analysis, and driver behaviour evaluation, officials said. The ODC, in particular, will focus on sustainable traffic management systems through research and collaboration, covering road signage maintenance, transportation planning, and post-accident response. Additionally, the centres are expected to contribute to traffic engineering research, develop innovative enforcement technologies such as camera network and a diagnostic system, and assess highways for safety and efficiency. According to officials, with IRTE’s expertise, the initiative is projected to establish new standards in road safety and traffic management, benefiting commuters and stakeholders across India. The inauguration ceremony was led by DGP Kapur and Unsoo Kim, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor India, in the presence of police commissioner Vikas Arora and deputy commissioner of police (traffic) Virender Vij.Thousands of protesters marched through Barcelona on Saturday demanding lower rents in Spain's second city. Barcelona, which has already taken action to stop the spread of holiday rental apartments, is the latest Spanish city to see protests for cheaper housing. Backed by left-wing parties and unions, the demonstrators gathered in central Barcelona behind a giant banner declaring "Lower the rents". "Today a new political cycle starts concerning housing," Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for the Catalan Tenants Union, the main organiser, told reporters. "Investors must not be allowed to come to our cities and play with the apartments like a game of Monopoly," she added. The union would target "profiteers" who are taking "half of our salaries", Arcarazo said. The demonstrators demanded a 50 percent cut in rents, leases with an unlimited term and a ban on "speculative" sales of buildings. They threatened to start a rent strike. An estimated 22,000 people took part in a similar demonstration in Madrid on October 13. Campaigns have been launched in other cities. According to the Idealista specialised website, rental prices per square metre have risen 82 percent across Spain over the past decade. The average salary has gone up by 17 percent in that time, according to the national statistics institute. Facing pressure over a housing crisis, the government in 2023 passed legislation calling for more social housing, greater restrictions on rents in high demand areas and penalties for owners who do not occupy properties. But rents have continued to rise while the government has battled city and regional authorities to get some parts of the law applied. vid-vab/tw/jm Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.McDonald's Corp. stock outperforms competitors despite losses on the day

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday eulogized Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s political legacy and courage as unmatched and eternal vision a guiding light for the nation. In his message on the 17th martyrdom anniversary of former prime minister, issued from the President’s Office, Asif Ali Zardari said, “Today, we are observing the 17th martyrdom anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. On this day, we honour a leader who embodied the very spirit of hope, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of democracy and justice.” He added that she was a trailblazer who dreamt of a Pakistan where the rights of all citizens, irrespective of colour, class and creed, would be protected, and the power of the people would reign supreme. Benazir Bhutto once said, “Democracy is the best revenge”, the President mentioned and added that these words were not just a defiant response to tyranny and dictatorship but reflected her profound belief in the transformative power of the people. She envisioned a Pakistan, he said where every child could access education, where women could progress as equals, and where justice was not a privilege but a right. Throughout her life, she raised her voice and worked for the uplift of the downtrodden segments of society and women’s empowerment, he added. President Zardari underlined that her life was a journey of immense courage and a source of inspiration and strength for the nation. Facing adversity and persecution, he said she remained steadfast in her struggle against dictatorships for the restoration and strengthening of democracy and the protection of people’s political, economic and social rights. He added that Benazir famously declared, “The fight against injustice and cruelty is the fight of my life.” She lived and died fighting for this cause, and is still alive in the hearts of millions of people. She firmly believed: “You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.” “As President of Pakistan, I reaffirm my commitment to advancing her vision of a peaceful, progressive and democratic Pakistan. Her ideas live on, urging us to rise above differences and build a Pakistan that is united, inclusive, and just. So, let us not merely mourn her loss but commit to follow her enduring legacy. “Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and our family sacrificed their lives for the cause of democracy and Pakistan. It is my firm belief that we, as a nation, need to draw inspiration from her vision to steer the country out of its current challenges. Let us work together to ensure that her dream of a peaceful, progressive, and democratic Pakistan becomes a reality,” he urged.
