Seasonal Flu

 Signs of a seasonal flu

Most of us flue is nothing more serious than a few days on the sofa with the latest box – set. But it is also a killer, carrying off thousands of mostly elderly people every year. And among younger people, especially children, it can cause high fever, requiring hospitalization and lead to latter complications such as ear infections. While most healthy people can see it off with a hot drink and a dose of paracetamol, it is not a virus to be trifled with.

There is also its apparently endless capacity for mutation to consider. The swine flu pandemic though less severe than expected, nonetheless claimed more than 1000 lives in the winters of 2010 and among them pregnant women. Now a new lethal strain with a high death rate has emerged in China causing widespread alarm. So far all recorded cases including 65 deaths – have been linked with exposure to poultry and there is no evidence of sustained human – to human transmission, which could trigger a new global pandemic. But the threat is real and the need for vigilance constant. So too is the need for a flu vaccine that provides effective long term protection for all age groups against all strains of the virus still a distant dream.

As things currently stand flue vaccines have to be reformulated every year on the basis of an educated guess by scientists who attempt to match it with the strains of the virus likely to be circulating that season. And because the virus mutates rapidly scientists don’t always get it right. The vaccine made for the winter of 2011-12 was a particularly poor match researchers estimated it shortened the illness by half a day but did not reduce the number of people hospitalized. Even in a good year, the vaccine provides limited protection, perhaps around 60 percent in healthy adults and half that in over 65.

In England plans are under way to extend the annual flue vaccination from over 65 pregnant women and the chronically sick to all school age children who are through to be the main spreaders of the virus. If successful that is likely to reduce the impact of the winder flue still further. That should be a cause for celebration. But the threat from a mutated strain causing a global pandemic will remain.

While the demise of seasonal flue can only be welcome we should not forget the power of this simple virus of wreak havoc on a global scale and we can only urge the vaccine industry to redouble its efforts in the search for a more reliable defence against it.

Military Operation Against Taliban

PAKISTAN MILITARY OPERATION AGAINST TALIBAN

In a clear sign of losing patience, the government of Pakistan has said that now it has authorized the army to give a befitting reply in their defence to the terrorist- though it stopped short of formally announcing an operation against Taliban following peace talks launched by PM of Pakistan because of killing of 30 FC soldiers kidnapped and killed by Taliban.

The first attempt to negotiate peace was sabotaged by the US with a drone attack, and added that government launched the second bid for resolution of the issue and made contacts with the other side through a dialogue committee. Though Taliban agreed for talks but the terrorist attacks continued unabated. Despite empowering the security forces to retaliate to any terrorist acts with full  might the government of Pakistan has kept the doors for talks open. Our doors are open for those who believe in peace and dialogue and want to shun the path of violence.

On the other hand the Taliban groups who are willing for dialogue should isolate themselves from those involved in terrorist activities and violence but the government of Pakistan was willing to talk to those who surrender themselves and accept write of the government.

We cannot take away the right of self defence from our security forces. They will not hesitate to take action in self-defence if they come under attack; it also directed the security forces to give a befitting reply in their defence to the terrorist. They will be paid back in their own coin. Our forces have every right to defend themselves and respond to terrorists with full might.

As a result, after getting permission from PM of Pakistan, Pakistan Air Force fighter jets bombed suspected terrorists hideouts in the tribal belts on the afghan border on Thursday, killing at least 40 people, according to the officials. Pakistan security forces first raid confirmed by security officials came early Thursday when jets bombed several locations including a compound in the town of Mir Ali and surrounding parts of North Wazirstan. There are confirmed reports of 20 terrorists including foreigners killed in these airstrikes by military operation. A huge cache of arms and ammunition has also been destroyed. The strikes were in retaliation for recent Taliban attacks. 

World Powers Nuclear Deal with Iran

IRAN, WORLD POWERS SEEK NUCLEAR DEAL.

Nuclear talks between Iran and world powers move to the next level on Tuesday as negotiators begin work on an ambitious lasting accord to silence for good fears about Tehran’s atomic ambitions.

Success might help put Iran and Washington on the road to normalizing relations 35 years bear fruit in other areas, not least in Syria. Failure could lead to conflict.

Expectation were not high, however ahead of the scheduled three-day Vienna meeting between Iran and the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany, expected to be the first in a series of tricky encounters.

It is probably as likely that we won’t get an agreement as it is that we will in Vienna for the talks.

But these negotiations are the best chance we have ever had for diplomacy to solve this most pressing of national security challenges.

Iran has long been suspected of seeking nuclear weapons, despite its denials, while the United States and Israel-widely assumed to have a formidable nuclear arsenal itself – have never ruled out military action.

Under this accord which took effect on January 20, Iran scaled back certain nuclear activities in exchange for minor relief from painful sanctions and a promise of no new sanctions.

For the first time the west accepted Iran enriching uranium, a process producing nuclear fuel but potentially also material for a bomb having previously demanded a total suspension.

But the freeze only lasts until July 20 although it can be extended and experts say that success in Geneva came at the price of postponing discussion on the really difficult issues.  

Under the comprehensive solution that the parties aim to sew up by November the six powers want Iran to scale back permanently or at least for a very long time its nuclear programme.

This might include closing the Fordo facility, slashing the number of centrifuges enriching uranium, cutting the stockpile of fissile material and altering a new reactor being built at Arak.

This plus much tighter UN inspections would not remove entirely Iran’s capability to get the bomb but would make it substantially more difficult. According to US president, it would be impossible.

In exchanging all UN security council US and EU sanctions on Iran – which are costing it billion of dollars every week in lost oil revenues, wreaking havoc on the economy – would be lifted.

The US president has to contend with members of Congress threatening more sanctions and demanding with Israel – that nothing short of a total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear facilities will do.

Iranian President meanwhile shoes election in 2013 has helped thaw relations with the West, is already on thin ice with hardliners seeking to turn Khamenei against him. 

China Gives Aids For Nuclear Plants.

China will provide 6.5$ billion aids for nuclear plants.

 It is said that China will provide 6.5$ billion aids for nuclear power plants on soft terms, which will help Pakistan to make a substantial improvement in its dire electrical power shortage problems.

Earlier People Republic of China has also provided similar loan terms for the Chashma nuclear power plants and for Pakistan Energy commission. According to the official, the classic case of a win-win situation for both parties, adding for China, it is a profitable investment that also contributes to its industrial development. Such investments by vendor countries are not unusual for example, Russia is financing the entire cost of the plant that it is providing to turkey and has also  promised to finance a planned nuclear power plant for Bangladesh.

in nuclear technology, China is now well on the way to assuming the mantle of world leader and at present 29 nuclear power plants are under construction there by far the largest in any country. China is also making its presence felt in the international nuclear power arena. Recently experts from China were invited to provide technical advice and guidance for the new nuclear power projects that have been initiated in the United States.

The Americans owners of the upcoming plants have also set  up offices in Shanghai to enable their own workers to learn directly from the greater and more recent Chinese experience in the latest techniques in nuclear power technology. Chinese companies have also entered  into a joint international venture to set  up nuclear power plants in the United Kingdom. In Pakistan the first unit at Chashma imported from China  has been working efficiently for the past 14  years and the second has been doing well for  more than two years. Construction of two more units is proceeding smoothly and is several months ahead of schedule, official concluded.

Taliban Talk Break Down

TALIBAN PEACE TALK BREAKS DOWN

The four members from government of Pakistan negotiating committee immediately cancelled a scheduled visit to Akora Khattak for a meeting with the Taliban committee. It is a unanimous decision.

It regrets to say that things are not moving in the right direction. Peace talks with Taliban are purposeless after the sad and condemnable murders.

The Taliban negotiating team has however regretted that the Akora Khattak meeting could not take place. It was close to reaching an understanding ceasefire but it is sad that the government of Pakistan called off the meeting after considering as Taliban.

It was also said by the government committee that military operation will only bring more bloodshed, displacement and terrorism to the country. It is not  a solution, said by the Taliban committee members, and added that both committees need to reestablish contacts and launch renewed efforts to end violence in the region.

The other committee members said both sides should exercises patience and restraint. It is said that they could not defend Taliban as many hands were active in the region. The Taliban committee was acting only as negotiators and it should not be made a party. They wished an early ceasefire could be agreed but it looked difficult after the latest developments.

Although the government of Pakistan seems in its public pronouncements to be taking a harder stance on the terrorists, continuing attacks while the pretence of talks continues, it is still far from clear whether it has seen the light and understood the logic of those who have been advocating action against the terrorists as a necessary condition for meaningful talks. So far the government of Pakistan has appeared on the back foot and the Taliban enjoying all the initiative both on the battlefield as well as in the political sphere. That may have changed and be changing daily with the unrelenting series of attacks the Taliban has been carrying out since the talks began. It has believed from the very outset of the talks effort that whether the government of Pakistan likes it or not, the Taliban will eventually force  it out of any illusions about the possibility of peace through talks along and force its hand vis-a tough action against the Taliban. The coming few days will tell if that moment has arrived or not, in any case whatever the timing of the almost inevitable military action against the Taliban the government and the military should put their heads together to prepare for the military operations and the anticipated retaliation by way of terrorist actions in the rest of the country.

THREAT FOR WORLD PEACE

THE GREATEST THREAT FOR WORLD PEACE.

In some parts of the world the United States ranks even higher as a perceived menace to world peace, notably in the Middle East where overwhelming majorities regard the US and its close ally Israel as the major threats they face, not the US – Israeli favorite; Iran. Few Latin Americans are likely to question the judgment of Cuban nationalist hero. The further they draw  away from the United States the freer and more prosperous the Latin American people will be Marti’s judgment has been confirmed in recent years, once again by an analysis of poverty by the UN economic commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.

According to the UN surveys it is indicated that far reaching performs have sharply reduced poverty in Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela and some other countries where US influence is slight but that it remains abysmal in others-namely those that have long been under US domination, like Guatemala and Honduras. Even in relatively wealthy Mexico, under the umbrella of the North American Free Trade agreement poverty is severe, with one million added to the numbers of the poor in 2013. Sometimes the reasons for the world’s concerns are obliquely recognized in the United States, as when former CIA director Michael Hayden, discussing Obama’s drone murder campaign, conceded that Right now there is not a government on the planet that agrees with our legal rationale for these operations except for Afghanistan and maybe Israel.

A normal country would be concerned by how it is viewed in the world. Certainly that would be true of a country committed to a decent respect to the opinions of mankind, to quote the Founding Fathers. But the United States is far from a normal country. It has had the most powerful economy in the world for a century, and has had no real challenge to its global hegemony since World War II, despite some decline partly self-administered. The US conscious of soft power, undertakes major campaigns of public diplomacy (aka propaganda) to create a favourable image, sometimes accompanied by worthwhile policies that are welcomed.

When the world persists in believing that the United States is by far the greatest threat to peace, the American press scarcely reports the fact. The ability to ignore unwanted facts is one of the prerogatives of unchallenged power.

A current example can be seen in the laments about the escalating Sunni-Shiite conflict that is tearing apart the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria. The prevailing theme of US commentary is that this strife is a terrible consequence of the withdrawal of American forces from the region a lesson in the dangers of isolationism. The opposite is more nearly correct. The roots of the conflict within Islam are many and varied, but is cannot be seriously denied that the split was significantly exacerbated by the American and British led invasion of Iraq. And it can not be too often repeated that aggression was defined at the Nuremberg Trials as the supreme international crime, differing from others in that it encompasses all the evil that follows, including the current catastrophe.

When Mandela at last obtained his freedom, he declared that during all my years in prison, Cuba was an inspiration and Fidel Castro a tower of strength. What other country can point to a record of greater selflessness than Cuba has displayed in its relations to Africa? Today the names of Cubans who died defending Angola from US-backed South African aggression, defying American demands that they leave the country are inscribed on the Wall of Names in Pretoria’s Freedom Park. The thousands of Cuban aid workers who sustained Angola largely at Cuban expenses are also not forgotten.

The US approved version is quite different. From the first days after South Africa agreed to withdraw from illegally occupied Namibia in 1988 paving the way for the end of apartheid, the outcome was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as a splendid achievement of American diplomacy one of the most significant foreign policy achievements of the Reagan administration. The reasons why Mandela and South Africans perceive a radically different picture  are spelled out in PieroGleijeses masterful scholarly inquiry visions of Freedom. Havana, Washington, Pretoria and the Struggle for Southern Africa 1976-1991.

South Africa’s aggression and terrorism in Angola and its occupation of Namibia were ended by Cuban military might accompanied by fierce black resistance within South Africa and the courage of Namibian guerrillas. The Namibian liberation forces easily won fair elections as soon as these were possible. Similarly in elections in Angola the Cuban backed government prevailed while the United States continued to support vicious opposition terrorists there even after South Africa was compelled to back away. To the end the Reignites remained virtually alone in their strong support for the apartheid regime and its murderous depredations in neighboring countries. Though these shameful episodes may be wiped out of internal US history others are likely to understand Mandela’s words. In these and all too many other cases supreme power does provide protection against reality to a  point.
