OPTIONS SHRINK FOR HAITIAN MIGRANTS STRADDLING TEXAS BORDER

 DEL RIO, TEXAS 

The options remaining for thousands of Haitian migrants straddling the Mexico -  Texas border are narrowing as the United States government ramps up to an expected six (6) expulsion flights to Haiti Tuesday and Mexico began busing some away from the border.

 

More than 6,000 Haitians and other migrants had been removed from an encampment at Del Rio, Texas, United States officials said Monday as they defended a strong response that included immediately expelling migrants to their impoverished Caribbean country and faced criticism for using horse patrols to stop them from entering the town.

 

That was enough for some Haitian migrants to return to Mexico, while others struggled to decide on which side of the border to take their chances.

 

Marie Pierre, 43, stood on the Mexican side of the river as night fell with hundreds of other migrants unsure what to do. She said Border Patrol agents had separated her from her 19-year-old son in Texas and she didn't know if he had been deported or not. She waited for a chance to charge her phone, hoping to get news from her sister and cousin in Florida.

 

" They told me he was an adult and couldn't be with us, " she said of the moment they were separated.

 

Earlier Monday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas conceded it was a " challenging and hearthbreaking situation, but he issued a stark warning: " If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family's life."

 

Officials from Mexico's National Human Rights Commission walked among the migrants signing up those interested in applying for asylum in Mexico. So far this year, more than 19,000 Haitians have opted to do so, including some now at the border.

 

At the same time, Mexican authorities were detaining some migrants. The first busloads pulled out Sunday and more empty buses arrived Monday.

 

Some humanitarian workers said Monday they had seen Mexican National Guard troops help immigration agents detain a group of 15 to 20 migrants in Acuna.

 

Mexico's immigration agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But a federal official told The Associated Press on Sunday that the plan was to take the migrants to Monterrey, in northern Mexico, and Tapachula, in the south, with flights to Haiti from those cities to begin in coming days.

 

Authorities stopped some bus lines from operating in the state of Coahuila in an effort to force them not to carry migrants, said Luis Angel Urraza, president of the local chamber of commerce.

 

He said the United States government's decision to close the bridge connecting Ciudad Acuna and Del Rio was wearing on the city's merchants who were counting the days until the migrant population dropped enough to reopen it.

 

Mayorkas and United States Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said they would look into agents on horseback using what appeared to be whips and their horses to push back migrants at the river between Ciudad Acuna and Del Rio, a city of about 35,000 people roughly 145 miles (230 kilometers) west of San Antonio where thousands of migrants remain camped around a bridge.

 

Later Monday, the Department of Homeland Security issues a statement calling the footage " extremely troubling " and promising a full investigation that would " define the appropriate disciplinary actions to be taken. "

 

Mayorkas said 600 Homeland Security employees, including from the Coast Guard, have been brought to Del Rio. He said he has asked the Defense Department for help in what may be one of the swiftest, large-scale expulsions of migrants and refugees from the United States in decades.

 

He also said the United States would increase the pace and capacity of flight to Haiti and other countries in the hemisphere. The number of migrants at the bridge peaked at 14,872 on Saturday, said Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a labor union that represents agents.

 

The rapid expulsions were made possible by a pandemic-related authority adopted by former President Donald Trump in March 2020 that allows for migrants to be immediately removed from the country without an opportunity to seek asylum. President Joe Biden exempted unaccompanied children from the order but let the rest stand.

 

Any Haitians not expelled are subject to immigration laws, which include rights to seek asylum and other forms of humanitarian protection. Families are quickly released in the United States because the government cannot generally hold children.

 

Haitians have been migrating to the United States in large numbers from South America for several years, many having left their Caribbean nation after a devastating 2010 earthquake. After jobs dried up from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, many made the dangerous trek by foot, bus and car to the United States border, including through the infamous Darien Gap, a Panamanian jungle.

 

Some of the migrants at the Del Rio camp said the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti and the assassination of President Jovenel Moise make them afraid to return to a country that seems more unstable than when they left.

 

" It's not right, " said Haitian migrant Jean Philipe Samus. " The Americans are grabbing Haitians and deporting everyone to Haiti. Haiti has no president, no jobs, there is nothing. In the earthquake a lot of people died. "It's not right over there, I'm going back to Mexico.

 

But Mayorkas defended his recent decision to grant Haitians temporary legal status due to political and civil strife in their homeland if they were in the United States on July 29, but not to those being sent back now.

 

" We made and assessment based on the country conditions...that Haiti could in fact receive individuals safely," he said.

THAILAND'S PLANS TO OPEN FOR FOREIGN TOURISTS - COVID 19

 Foreign Tourists Plan To Open - THAILAND 

 

Back in mid-June, Thailand Prime Minister Prayuth Chan - Ocha surprised everyone by promising to reopen the country to foreign tourists by October 2021.

 

The time had come, he said, to take that calculated risk.

 

At the time, few took him seriously.

 

Thailand had zealously guarded its borders, imposing quarantine and mountains of paperwork on all arrivals since April 2020.

 

Foreign tourism, once an engine of the Thailand economy, collapsed. Just over 70,000 came into the country in the first eight (8) months of this year, compared to 40 million in the whole of 2019.

 

COVID-19 was successfully contained through most of 2020, but by June 2021, infections were rising quickly, and the government was being roundly criticised for being too slow to start vaccinating. Opening up in October 2021 seemed impossible.

 

But true to his word, the great reopening appears to have begun, albeit with only very modest steps.

 

The night - time curfew has been shortened by an hour, starting at 10 pm, and libraries and museums can open.

 

You can visit a spa, but only with advanced booking and a recent negative COVID-19 test.

 

Fully-vaccinated tourists will now be quarantined for just one (1) week instead of two. Further minor relaxations are expected in November 2021. This is welcome news for the battered hospitality industry, but hardly sufficient to get the visitors pouring back in.

 

Why is the Thailand government proceeding so cautiously ?

 

The simple answer is vaccines and the limited number of ICU beds.

 

Despite significantly ramping up its orders of vaccines, the government started late and is still a long way short of its official target of inoculating at least 70% of the population.

 

By the end of September 2021, just over one (1) quarter had received two (2) doses, and many of those who received the less effective Sinovac vaccine are now having to get booster shots.

 

And at the peak of the latest COVID-19 wave in July and August 2021, all Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds in Bangkok, Thailand were filled, forcing families with seriously ill patients to search frantically for beds in other parts of the country. No-one wants to see a repeat of that distressing experience.

 

But with the known infectiousness of the delta variant, many health experts believe even 70% of the population is too low a target for vaccination before Thailand can fully open to tourists.

 

" The vaccine rate among the older and most vulnerable population should be as high as 85 or 90%, " says Tanarak Plipat, a senior health inspector-general and until recently deputy director of Thailand's Department for Disease Control. " Overall, given the delta variant, to be safe vaccine coverage for anybody residing in Thailand should be 80%."

 

Some in the travel industry agree that it is too soon for a full reopening.

 

" Realistically 01 January 2022, would be a good time," Tassapon Bijleveld, Chairman of Thai Air Asia, the country's largest low-cost carrier told the BBC. " I won't be scheduling any international flights until then."

 

' THEY ACT AS THOUGH WE NEVER EXISTED '

 But there are other barriers to tourism apart from the relatively low vaccination rate.

 

Thailand's famous nightlife cannot restart with the 10pm curfew, with all bars forced to stay closed since early April in Bangkok, and no alcohol permitted in restaurants, although that regulation is now being relaxed on the holiday of Phuket, Thailand.

 

The varied requirements for new COVID-19 tests when you cross provincial borders are also proving prohibitively expensive for travellers plannings to visit several areas of Thailand.

 

At the stylist Tax bar in an old shophouse in central Bangkok, Niks Anuman Rajadhon and his staff are now preparing for a possible easing of the nightlife ban, spacing out their seating and ensuring good airflow. But after being open for just six (6) weeks this year, he is not optimistic about his business.

 

" For us to stay closed for this long without any compensation has been a disaster. Bangkok is a 24-hour city. Look at everything the bar industry has done for the city, getting top rankings in Asia. I wish they would have more understanding of the hospitality and nightlife business. Right now the government acts as though we never existed," he announced.

 

Acute economic distress is now very visible in Thailand, in the rows of shuttered shops, in the long queues for food handouts, and in the crowds or angry, unemployed young men who have joined the anti-government protest movement and come out every weekend in parts of Bangkok to fight the police.

 

This is what has forced an unpopular government's hand. But this month's heralded reopening is only the start.

 

They still have a long way to go.

FIRED ' REMARKABLE' NEW ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILE IN TEST - NORTH KOREA

SEOUL, NORTH KOREA

North Korea fired a newly developed anti-aircraft missile on Thursday, state media KCNA was reported, the latest in a recent series of weapons tests that has come as denuclearisation talks with the United States have been in deadlock.

 

It was North Korea's second known weapons test this week after the launch of a previously unseen hypersonic missile on Teusday. It has also fired ballistic missiles and a cruise missile with potential nuclear capabilities in recent weeks.

 

The tests highlighted how North Korea has been steadily developing increasingly sophisticated weapons, raising the stakes for efforts to press it to give up its nuclear and missile programmes in return for United States sanctions relief.

 

The Academy of Defence Science, a military weapons developer, said the test was aimed at confirming the practical functionality of the missile's launcher, radar, comprehensive battle command vehicle and combat performance, the official KCNA news agency reported on Friday.

 

The missile has new key technologies such as twin rudder control and double impulse flight engine.

 

South Korea's military said detailed analysis was needed to verify the KCNA report. 

 

North Korea leader Kim Jong Un did not appear to have attended the test, which was instead overseen by Pak Jong Chon, a member of the ruling Worker's party's powerful politburo and Central Committee.

 

" The remarkable combat performance of the new-type anti-aircraft missile control system as well as the substantial increase in the distance of downing air targets has been verified, "KCNA announced, citing the academy.

 

North Korea has said in recent weeks that its weapons tests are aimed at boosting its defence capabilities just as other countries do, accusing the United States and South Korea of " double standards " and " hostile policy " toward it.

 

On Wednesday, Kim said he has no reasons to attack South Korea and was willing to reopen severed inter-Korean hotlines. But it criticised United States President Joe Biden's administration for using " more cunning ways and methods " in pursuing hostile policy while proposing dialogue.

 

South Korea's Unification Ministry, which is in charge of North Korean affairs, said the North did not answer the lines on Friday but it vowed to continue efforts to restore the channels and resume talks.

 

South Korea President Moon Jae-in, in a speech celebrating the 73rd Armed Forced Day on Friday, did not refer to North Korea but said he was committed to fostering lasting peace while sternly responding to any life-threatening action.

 

Analysts say the North's carrot-and-stick approach is aimed at securing international recognition as a nuclear weapons state and driving a wedge between the United States and South Korea, with an eye on Moon's desire for a diplomatic legacy before his term ends in May.

 

The Biden administration has said it has no hostile intent toward North Korea and has called on it to accept its offers of talks to break the impasse over denuclearisation negotiations.

HUMANITARIANS CRISIS AFTER KABUL'S FALL : TALIBAN

Humanitarians Crisis After Kabul's Fall : TALIBAN

 

 A month after seizing Kabul, the Taliban is facing daunting problems as it seeks to convert its lightning military victory into a durable peacetime government.

 

After four (4) decades of war and the deaths of tens (10) of thousands of people, security has largely improved but Afghanistan's economy is in ruins despite hundreds of billions of dollars in development spending over the past 20 years.

 

Drought and famine are driving thousands from the country to the cities, and the World Food Programme fears its food supplies cold start running out by the end of the month, pushing the 14 million food-insecure Afghans to the brink of starvation.

 

While much attention in the West has focused on whether the new Taliban government will keep its promises to protect women's rights and to reject groups like al-Qaeda, for many Afghans the main priority is simple survival.

 

" Every Afghan, kids, they are hungry they don't have a single bag of flour or cooking oil," said Kabul resident Abdullah.

 

' FOOD EMERGENCY '

 Rein Paulsen, director of the Food and Agriculture Organization's Office of Emergencies and Resilience, told reporters at the UN headquarters in a video briefing from Kabul that four (4) million Afghans are facing " a food emergency ".

 

Paulsen said 70 percent of Afghans live in rural areas and there is a severe drought affecting 7.3 million Afghan in 25 of the country's 34 provinces.

 

These vulnerable rural communities have also been hit by the pandemic, he said.

 

Paulsen said the winter wheat planting season - the most important in Afghanistan - is threatened by " challenges of the cash and banking system " as well as challenges to markets and agricultural items.

 

" More than half of Afghans' daily calorific intake comes from wheat," he said.

 

If agriculture collapses further, Paulson warned, it will drive up malnutrition, increase displacement and worsen the humanitarian situation.

 

Long line still form outside banks, where weekly withdrawal limits of about 20,000 Afghanis ($200) have been imposed to protect the country's dwindling reserves.

 

Impromptu markets where people are selling their possession have sprung up across Kabul, although buyers are in short supply.

 

International donors have pledged more than $1bn to prevent what UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned could be " the collapse of an entire country ".

 

Even with billions of dollars in foreign aid, Afghanistan's economy had been struggling, with growth failing to keep pace with the steady increase in population. Jobs are scarce and many government workers have been unpaid since at least July.

 

" EVERY DAY, THINGS GET WORSE "

 While most people appear to have welcomed the end of fighting, any relief has been tempered by the near-shutdown of the economy.

 

" Security it quite good at the moment but we aren't earning anything, " said a butcher from the Bibi Mahro area of Kabul, who declined to give his name.

 

" Every day, things get worse for us, more bitter. It's a really bad situation."

 

Following the chaotic foreign evacuation of Kabul last month, the first aid flights have started to arrive as the airport reopens.

 

But world reaction to the government of Taliban veterans and hardliners announced last week has been cool, and there has been no sign of international recognition or moves to unblock more than $9bn in foreign reserves held outside Afghanistan.

 

Although Taliban officials have said they do not intend a repeat of the harsh rule of the previous government, toppled by a US-led campaign following the September 11, 2001, attacks, they have struggled to convince the outside world that they have really changed.

 

Widespread reports of civilians being killed and journalists and others being beaten, and doubts about whether the rights of women really will be respected under the Taliban's hardline interpretation of Islamic law, have undermined confidence.

 

In addition, there has been deep mistrust of senior government figures, such as the new interior minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani, designated by the United States as a global terrorist with a $10 m bounty on his head.

 

To make matters worse for the Taliban, the movement has had to fight speculation over deep internal splits in its own ranks, denying rumours that Deputy Prime Minister Abdul Ghani Baradar had been killed in a shootout with Haqqani supporters.

 

Officials say the government is working to get services up and running again and that the streets are now safe but, as the war decedes, resolving the economic crisis is looming as a bigger problem.

 

" Thefts have disappeared. But bread has also disappeared," said one shopkeeper.

Tiada Bukti Kukuh Suplemen Cegah COVID-19

KOTA KINABALU, SABAH

 

Kota Kinabalu: Tidak terdapat bukti kukuh dan bukti klinikal yang menunjukkan keberkesanan suplemen atau pun punca makanan tambahan yang boleh membantu kita bagi mencegah dan juga merawat Virus COVID-19 seperti yang disahkan oleh pakar nutrisi.

 

Khor Ban Hock dari Universiti Malaysia Sabah memaklumkan, ramai orang pada masa kini mula mengambil suplemen kerana mempercayai ia boleh membantu dalam meningkatkan sistem imunisasi badan mereka, sekaligus boleh membantu bagi mencegah dan juga merawat COVID-19.

 

" Sebenarnya bagi kebanyakan orang yang mengamalkan diet yang seimbang dan juga sihat, suplemen adalah semestinya tidak diperlukan walaupun semasa pandemik wabak COVID-19 pada masa ini," katanya kepada FMT.

 

Khor turut memaklumkan dan menyakinkan, beberapa makanan tambahan seperti pengambilan vitamin D, zin dan juga vitamin C yang dilaporkan dapat membantu bagi mengurangkan gejala selesema biasa, boleh juga memudaratkan si pengambilnya jika diambil dalam kuantiti yang berlebihan.

 

Beliau turut mengulas berkenaan individu yang mengambil vitamin A berlebihan boleh menjejaskan kesihatan tulang mereka, meningkatkan risiko kanser terhadap paru-paru, dan juga boleh mempengaruhi perkembangan fetus dalam kalangan wanita yang sedang hamil manakala pengambilan vitamin D pula secara berlebihan boleh mengurangkan ketumpatan mineral tulang.

 

" Selain itu, bagi individu yang mengambil vitamin C secara berlebihan, boleh menyebabkan berlakunya cirit-birit, perut kembung, meningkatkan risiko batu karang dalam kalangan lelaki manakala jika pengambilan berlebihan Zinc pula akan menyebabkan sakit perut, cirit-birit, muntah, loya serta boleh mengganggu penyerapan 'copper'.

 

" Walaupun secara amnya tidak berbahaya, namun pengambilan makanan tambahan seperti di atas secara berlebihan tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang disarankan oleh KKM akan menyebabkan kesan yang lebih buruk terhadap pengguna," katanya.

 

Sehubungan itu, beliau turut menasihatkan pengguna yang mahu mengamalkan pengambilannya supaya membeli makanan tambahan yang berdaftar dengan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) bagi memastikan keselamatan lebih terjamin serta kualiti produk berkenaan.
