support of other opposition 

parties’ he said while 

addressing a short news 

conference, however, no 

contacts have yet been 

made with the Pakistan 

League-Nawaz 

(PML-N). 

Bilawal said that the 

PML-N should bring its 

chairman if it had the 

majority in the Senate. 

‘However, the candidates 

the PML-N has claimed to 

be theirs are independents, 

and therefore, the PPP has 

the largest representation in 

the Senate’.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf 

Imran says PML-N lead Govt 

lacks mandate to privatize PIA 

KARACHI: Chief of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), 

Imran Khan addresses to his supporters. 

By Muzammil Ferozi 

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf 

Chief Imran Khan made a surprise 

announcement that he would contest general 

elections 2018 from Karachi too.Khan said 

that it is the responsibility of the police to 

perform their duties in a metropolitan city, 

not Rangers. 

Khan pointed that Shehbaz Sharif has had 

"billions" of rupees' worth of budget, yet he 

did not build a single new hospital in the 

region adding that no one can stop the wave 

of change now, he said. 

Khan accused Sindh government of virtually 

clipping all powers of Karachi Mayor. 

He linked restoration of peace in Karachi 

with reforms in the police department. 

While addressing Doctors’ forum in a 

local hotel in Karachi, Khan termed 2018 

polls a decisive moment for Pakistan’s 

future, Khan lambasted provincial governments 

of Sindh and Punjab for being being 

indulged in unabated corruption. 

He said that govt’s efforts should focus on 

breaking the vicious cycle of poverty. 

“In Pakistan, only policies are made. 

There is no real thought on how to reduce 

poverty.” 

Khan was also addressed a gathering of 

employees of the Pakistan International 

Airlines (PIA) who came to welcome him. 

The PTI chief said the current government 

has only three months of its tenure left, 

and it “does not have the mandate to privatise 

PIA.” 

The Sharifs’steel mills churn out millions 

whereas the Pakistan Steel Mill is lying here 

closed, Khan lamented. 

There is no need for privatisation if the 

institutions function with honesty, he added. 

(PTI) and PML-N. 

Bilawal also urged 

Muttahida Qaumi 

M o v e m e n t - P a k i s t a n 

(MQM-P) of resolving the 

issues of infighting by itself 

and not place the blame on 

PPP, after over 10 MQM-P 

MPAs in Sindh vote for PPP 

in Senate elections. 

Bilawal said that the PTI 

chief should promote ideological 

candidates and not 

ATMs. 

He said that PPP has various 

reasons for clinching 

seats on Senate, terming 

Imran’s absence from voting 

process as among the 

reasons for his party MPAs 

being disoriented. 

Regarding PML-N’s 

claim that it is the single 

largest party in Senate, 

Bilawal said it is unfair for 

them to say that because all 

their candidates contested 

as independent. 

According to unofficial 

Senate results, PML-N 

clinched 15 seats and PPP 

won 12 seats in the polls.

Merkel set for 4th term after 

Social Democrats OK coalition 

BERLIN: Germany's 

Social Democratic Party said 

Sunday its members have 

voted in favor of joining a 

coalition withAngela Merkel's 

conservative bloc, clearing the 

last major hurdle to the formation 

of a new government and 

a fourth term for the veteran 

German chancellor. 

The decision ends almost 

six months of uncertainty in 

German politics, the longest 

the country has been without a 

government in its post-war 

history. The center-left Social 

Democrats had furiously 

debated whether to extend the 

so-called grand coalition for 

another four years after suffering 

a slump in September's 

election. In the end, two-thirds 

of the valid votes cast by its 

464,000 members favored a 

coalition deal, said party treasurer 

Dietmar Nietan, who 

oversaw the ballot. 

This was a really important 

democratic decision for 

our country," acting party 

leader Olaf Scholz told 

reporters in Berlin. The Social 

Democrats will put forward 

six names - three women and 

three men - to lead the ministries 

they will control in the 

upcoming coalition in the 

coming days, he said. 

Parliament is expected to 

meet next week to elect 

Merkel as chancellor. 

Activists at the Social 

Democrats' headquarters in 

Berlin had worked through 

the night to count the votes. A 

"no" vote would have been a 

blow for the party's leadership 

- who campaigned for members' 

approval - and for 

Merkel, who spent months 

negotiating with rival parties 

to form a new government.

Purpose-built building of 160th school of GCT inaugurated in Mithi 

Governor Zubair laments Sindh govt 

spent less than 40% health, education 

budget in previous fiscal year 

By Imtiaz Dharani 

MITHI: Sindh Governor 

Mohammad Zubair has 

lamented that just less than 

40 per cent of Sindh government 

budget of previous 

financial year reserved for 

health and education sectors 

could be utilized as this indicates 

one of the major reasons 

Sindh has been lagging 

far behind rest of the country 

as far as provision of health 

and educational facilities to 

its people is concerned. 

Sindh Governor stated 

this while speaking as the 

chief guest as he inaugurated 

the new purpose-built building 

of 160th chairtable 

school of Green Crescent 

Trust (GCT) here in Mithi on 

Sunday. 

“Lately the Sindh government 

identified some 290 

small and big projects to be 

developed in health and education 

sectors as budgetary 

allocations were also 

reserved to do these projects. 

Not a single penny could be 

spent on 170 of these projects. 

This raises a big question 

mark over capacity and 

competence of the provincial 

government to carry out such 

a work,” he said. 

He said that performance 

in health and education sectors 

of provincial governments 

in last five years 

would count much as three 

different ruling political parties 

of Sindh, Punjab, 

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would 

soon contact people to solicit

EDITORIAL 

Non Governmental Organizations: 

Best In Help Yet Worst In Outcomes!? 

NGOs or the Non Governmental 

Organizations have become quite the 

choice tool of subversion, destabilization 

and domination for the US-led New 

World Order. As the recent Soros hack has 

shown, the US (in particular) has embarked 

on a sly strategy of infiltration in its foreign 

policy. Wars abroad are just few examples. 

On the surface, NGOs appear as benign, 

helpful and, at the very worst, harmless 

creatures which do work that promotes the 

betterment of humanity. Many of them do 

perform philanthropic work, however others 

are created and controlled right from the 

start to be nothing more than instruments of 

infiltration and influence – influence which 

is highly unwanted in the target nation. 

These latter kind of NGOs are a manifestation 

of US-NWO soft power by which the 

US can manipulate and dominate a country 

without having to fire a single bullet. 

This subterfuge was working very well 

for awhile, but now in the aftermath of the 

2014 Ukraine coup and other events, including 

wars in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, 

Yemen etc., nations are beginning to wake 

up to the trickery and are passing laws 

restricting or forbidding NGOs on their turf. 

The fact that numerous nations such as 

Israel, China, India, Russia and others have 

passed laws against foreign NGOs gives you 

some idea of how powerful NGOs have 

become. 

Pakistan does not only need to pass similar 

laws, due to vulnerability of its poverty 

and crisis ridden nation, but needs to act on 

those laws and charters already in place on 

the limits of NGOs. 

In July 2016, Israel passed a law requiring 

foreign NGOs to declare the source of 

their funding. The introduction of the law 

read: “The law wishes to deal with the phenomenon 

of NGOs which represent foreign 

interests of foreign states, while acting 

under the cover of local organizations seeking 

to serve the interests of the Israeli public” 

and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 

Netanyahu said the law’s goal was “to prevent 

an absurd situation in which foreign 

states meddle in Israel’s internal affairs by 

funding NGOs, without the Israeli public 

being aware of it.” Ironically, Israel is 

behind most of the NGOs worldwide, but 

does not like the taste of its bitter medicine 

even though sugar coated to swallow easily. 

Israel dishes it out, but can't take it back. 

In April 2016, China passed a law requiring 

foreign NGOs to register with, and be 

approved by, their government. In March 

2015, India banned 69 NGOs from receiving 

foreign contributions. Earlier in December 

2012, Russia passed a law that was specifically 

targeted against US NGOs operating 

inside Russia. Some of the provisions from 

the law are: 

Activities of NGOs participating in political 

activities or implementing other activities 

constituting a threat to the interests of 

Russia and receiving funds from US citizens 

or organizations shall be suspended and 

their assets seized (The Ministry of Justice 

may issue a decision to restart activities of 

an NGO whose activity was previously suspended 

after the NGO stops receiving funding 

from US citizens or organizations). 

Citizens with dual US-Russian dual citizenship 

are prohibited from membership or 

participation in the management of Russian 

NGOs or registered offices of foreign NGOs 

that participate in political activities in 

Russia. 

In case of the seizure of assets of an 

NGO, the NGO also loses its rights to found 

mass media outlets and is prohibited from 

conducting mass and public events and from 

using bank accounts, with a few exceptions 

outlined in Federal Law on NCOs. 

So why are so many countries all of a 

sudden getting so scared of NGOs? The 

answer lies in the power of NGOs to influence 

public thought and stealthily disseminate 

propaganda that can cause people to 

lost faith in their politicians, overthrow 

governments and induce a nation to make 

poor decisions that benefit the funder of the 

NGOs, usually the US. 

“Human Rights Watch, and the NGO 

complex at large, has condemned China’s 

Overseas NGO Management Law because 

they quite rightly believe that it will severely 

hamper their efforts to act independently 

of Beijing. However … the reality is that 

they act as a de facto arm of western intelligence 

agencies and governments, and they 

have played a central role in the destabilization 

of China in recent years.” 

The NGOs of arch manipulator George 

Soros played a big part in the 2014 

Ukrainian coup. The horrible Ukrainian 

coup of 2014 could not have been pulled off 

without the help of Soros and his NGOs. 

Vicky Nuland told us that the US pumped 

$5 billion into regime change there. 

Earlier in May 2016, Vanessa Beeley 

reported that the so-called White Helmets 

NGO was actually a “US and UK government-funded 

“first responder” organization 

in Syria … shown to have deep ties to al- 

Nusra Front as well as links to ISIS, and it 

operates exclusively within terrorist-held 

areas in Syria, including participation in 

executions:” Links to the US-Uk-Israeli 

controlled pet Frankenstein ISIS. This NGO 

matches the “humanitarian” bombings carried 

out by NATO against innocent civilians 

in Libya and other Middle Eastern countries. 

NGOs are running amok. We don’t just 

have NGOs; we have an actual NGO complex 

which is controlled by the New World 

Order and is part of their psychological 

operations and perception management 

department. It ensures that American 

democracy and humanitarian interventions 

are coated with sugar to go down well. 

Often, they hide behind the excuse of furthering 

human rights as a way to justify 

their subversive operations. 

This spells out the way these NGOs operate: 

“Shaping western public perception and 

opinion on major international issues is 

essential if major world powers are to 

realise their foreign policy goals." Not surprisingly, 

we can see that many of the public 

positions taken by NGOs are exactly 

aligned with western foreign policy. 

In the Balkans War of the 1990s, human 

rights groups supported partitioning. In the 

Ukraine in 2014 and with both Syria and 

Yemen in 2016 they supported regime 

change. In each instance NGOs function as 

a public relations extension to a United 

Nations western member Security Council 

bloc, namely the US, UK and France. This 

collusion is manifest throughout the upper 

echelons of these organizations whose 

streamlined agenda conforms through a 

lucrative revolving door which exists 

between a cartel of western NGOs, government 

and media.” 

The role of NGOs and human rights 

organizations has been pivotal in Syria, to 

provide cover for the US to carry out its 

clear intention of regime change:“By framing 

the Syrian Conflict (2011 to present) as 

a “civil war”, both western media and 

human rights organizations did their part in 

propping-up an important western foreign 

policy narrative. Inaccurate and distorted, 

this narrative has helped shield the US-led 

clandestine proxy war. But the reality is a 

US-backed guerrilla war where Washington 

and Ankara, along with NATO and Gulf 

Cooperation Council (GCC) allies, flooding 

Turkey and Syria with weapons, cash, 

equipment, social media teams, military 

trainers and foreign fighters from as a far 

away as Pakistan.” 

NGOs are responsible for all those feelgood 

petitions that totally misinform 

Westerners about some poor country that is 

about to get invaded, whip up misdirected 

outrage and persuade people to get in line 

with the exact military goals the US has 

already planned. Too many NGOs call for 

“No Fly Zones“, “Buffer Zones” or “Safe 

Zones“. Remember the phony Stop Kony 

2012 campaign? Remember how George 

Soros’ Avaaz called for a No Fly Zone in 

Libya, to help US-NATO assassinate 

Gaddafi and control Libya? A lot of people 

are getting played like a fiddle. 

A conclusion may be drawn that nations 

protecting themselves against foreign NGOs 

are justified. 

Pumping money into foreign countries 

for regime change, or manipulating foreign 

elections for leadership change, is an old 

game that the CIA and branches of the US 

Government have been playing for decades. 

The game is nothing new; it’s only the style 

that has changed. NGOs are the velvet glove 

on the iron fist, carrying out the dirty subversive 

work of the NWO but making it 

look like roses. Fortunately, many nations 

targeted by this rank infiltration have 

noticed the threat and taken appropriate 

measures to defend their culture, laws, stability 

and way of life. It remains to be seen 

as to how much longer it will be until people 

in the US and the West wake up to the 

NGO subversion too.

SEOUL: North Korea

Police release CCTV images of alleged 

Melbourne stabbing offenders 

By SJA Jafri 

Bureau Chief Australia 

MELBOURNE: Police have released 

CCTV images of the two men believed to be 

responsible for an alleged stabbing in 

Melbourne yesterday that has left a teenager 

clinging to life. 

Victoria Police confirmed officers from 

the Whitehorse Crime Investigation Unit are 

investigating the stabbing, which occurred at 

a shopping centre on Main Street, Box Hill 

yesterday. 

“The first offender is perceived to be 

Caucasian in appearance, about 175cm tall 

with dark hair and medium build, wearing a 

dark colored windcheater and dark tracksuit 

pants,” authorities said in a statement. 

“The second offender is also perceived to 

be Caucasian in appearance, about 175cm 

tall with short fair hair and a thin build wearing 

sunglasses on his head, a blue short 

sleeved t-shirt and dark colored pants with a 

small bag over his shoulder.” 

It is believed the 19-year-old Balwyn man 

received stab wounds in an altercation with 

the two males around 4.30pm yesterday after 

a fight broke out. 

Police say the two unknown males were 

in the company of a third male at the time of 

the fight when a weapon was produced. 

Immediately after the incident, the trio 

left the scene and walked along Main Street. 

The male victim was taken to hospital with 

life-threatening injuries, where he remains in 

an induced coma. 

Police are appealing for public assistance 

to locate the two alleged offenders and urge 

anyone with information to contact Crime 

Stoppers.

Mueller’s office and other 

US officials, including the

Italy votes in 

uncertain election 

stalked by populism 

ROME: Italians went to 

the polls on Sunday in one of 

the country s most uncertain 

elections ever, with far-right 

and populist parties expected 

to make major gains and 

Silvio Berlusconi set to play a 

leading role. 

Polling stations opened at 

0600 GMT and will close at 

2200 GMT, with initial 

results expected early on 

Monday. 

Tensions between farright 

and anti-fascist activists 

have marred a gloomy campaign 

dominated by fears 

about immigration and economic 

malaise. 

"This election campaign 

has been pretty squalid, 

including from the 

Democratic Party (PD), who 

I voted for," 24-year-old barber 

Mirko Canali told AFP 

after casting his vote in 

Rome. He said he knew 

many other young people 

who, fed up with high youth 

unemployment, had decided 

to support the anti-establishment 

Five Star Movement 

(M5S). 

Many Italians are cynical 

about election promises made 

by the country s many squabbling 

parties and confused 

about what the outcome 

might be. 

Jordan skate park puts smile on faces of refugee children 

AMMAN: Hair flying in 

the wind Manar, Amniya 

and Farida hurtle down the 

slopes of "7Hills Skate 

Park" in the Jordanian capital 

Amman where refugee 

children come to play. 

The 650-square-metre 

(almost 7,000-foot) concrete 

space was built in December 

2014 by skateboard enthusiasts 

from around the world. 

The money was raised 

during a fundraising campaign 

by a German NGO 

and a local association that 

offers free classes for the 

children of refugees from 

countries such as Syria, Iraq 

or Sudan. 

Mohammed Duma, a 40- 

year-old Sudanese man who 

fled the war in Darfur, looks 

on with pride and a touch of 

apprehension as his two 

daughters, aged four and 

eight, learn to ride a skateboard 

with their trainer. 

A North Korean foreign 

ministry spokesman was 

quoted by state media 

KCNA news agency as 

saying “we will neither 

beg for dialogue nor evade 

the military option claimed 

by the US”. 

“Whether peace desired 

by our nation and the rest 

of the world settles on the 

Korean peninsula or a situation 

that no one desires is 

developed in the vicious 

cycle of confrontation 

depends entirely on the 

attitude of the US,” the 

spokesman said, according 

to KCNA.

Indian parents poison 

girl in love with Dalit, 

watch her die 

MYSURU: For six 

hours, 20-year-old Sushma 

writhed in agony on the 

floor as the poison did its 

work. Her father who 

forced the poison down her 

throat and watched her die 

later told police it was just 

punishment for loving a 

man outside the community 

and insisting on marrying 

him against their wishes. 

The horrific crime took 

place in an Indian village, 

Gollanabeedu, located 

around 15 kilometres (km) 

from Mysuru. According 

to a report published in 

Times of India, the reason 

behind the murder was 

revealed as police took up 

suo motu investigation a 

week after Sushma’s death. 

Sushma’s father, Kumar 

Gowda, is in custody. 

Police are looking for her 

mother and uncle, who 

helped Kumar in killing 

the girl. 

Additional SP N 

Rudramuni said Kumar, 

his wife Jayanthi and her 

brother Kempanna were 

against Sushma’s relationship 

with a Dalit youth, 

who is a painter and a resident 

of the neighbouring

ISTANBUL: A news 

website in the Kurdishmajority 

Turkish city of 

Diyarbakir, staffed only by 

women, has been repeatedly 

shut down by the authorities 

over alleged terror propaganda 

but it is refusing to 

give up the fight to publish. 

Jin News Agency, from 

the Kurdish word for 

woman "Jin", focuses on 

Kurdish and women’s issues 

and publishes in Kurdish, 

Turkish, Arabic and English. 

Written for women, it is 

run by a female-only team 

from the accountant to the 

photographer, and editors to 

camerawomen. 

The agency, set up in 

2012, has come under pressure 

from the Turkish 

authorities who have closed 

it twice and shut off access 

to the agency seven times. 

Turkish authorities 

accuse the agency of making 

"terror propaganda" for the 

outlawed Kurdistan 

Workers’ Party (PKK), 

which has waged an insurgency 

against Turkey since 

1984. 

The PKK is proscribed as 

a terror group byAnkara and 

its Western allies and since

30 terrorist cells other than 

Daesh Takfiri group in 

recent years, an official with

carry out measures over the 

past few years to make the 

country insecure and disturb 

the peace of the [Iranian] 

people," the deputy intelligence 

minister for counterterrorism

He added that all the terrorist

thwarted over past few years 

WASHINGTON:Aman fatally shot himself 

on the crowded pedestrian avenue directly 

in front of the White House on Saturday, 

officials said. 

“Adult male has been declared deceased,” 

the Washington, DC Police Department said 

on Twitter. The Secret Service said a white 

male approached the fence north of the White 

House at about 11:46 am (1646 GMT), 

“removed a concealed handgun and fired several 

rounds, none of which appear at this time 

to have been directed towards the White 

House.” The man’s identity is being withheld 

cooperation with Iran’s 

Islamic Revolution Guards 

Corps (IRGC), Army, the 

police force and the judicial 

system. The unnamed 

Intelligence Ministry's official 

stressed the importance 

of remaining vigilant in the 

face of new plots by terrorists 

and their regional and 

international supporters. 

The IRGC Ground 

Forces' Najaf base said late 

in January that it had arrested 

a number of Daesh 

Takfiri terrorists in the west 

of the country. 

Following intelligence 

activities, the IRGC division 

engaged in clashes with 21 

members of the Daesh terrorist 

group, which had 

entered the country through 

its western borders.

the breakdown of a ceasefire 

in 2015 Turkey has launched 

a relentless crackdown 

against the group. 

The crackdown has been 

wide, with media seen as 

sympathetic to the PKK 

finding themselves in the 

crosshairs of the authorities. 

President Recep Tayyip 

Erdogan has argued there is 

no difference between a "terrorist 

holding a gun or a 

bomb or those who use their 

pen to serve their aims." 

Turkey stepped up the 

campaign after the failed 

July 2016 coup attempt, 

with dozens of media outlets 

accused of links to putschists 

and the PKK closed down. 

‘What else can we do’ 

There are currently six 

legal cases against Jin News 

Agency accusing it of "terror 

propaganda". 

Its website is blocked in 

Turkey. 

The agency rejects the 

accusations and says that the 

issue is one of press freedom. 

It is continuing to publish 

news but the articles can 

only be read on social media 

and accessible via Virtual 

Private Networks (VPN). 

Camerawoman Beritan 

Elyakut, based in Diyarbakir 

and working for the agency 

for five years, complained 

the website was unable to 

pending notification of kin, the Secret Service 

said in a statement. 

While as many as 100 people — mostly 

tourists — were on Pennsylvania Avenue in 

front of the White House at the time, no one 

else was reported hurt, the Secret Service 

said. Police and medical personnel quickly 

swarmed the area, and the White House was 

placed on lockdown. The area north of the 

White House was cleared and cordoned off. 

Police also draped yellow crime-scene tape 

along a full block of nearby K Street, where 

authorities were searching a parked car. 

Diyarbakir: DAKP members announced March 8 program and will 

be in the meeting areas for peace with their actions and activities 

"reach the outside world". 

"What else can we do?" 

she added as she filmed a

Women’s Day on March 8, 

saying the website used six 

different domain names "but 

closures continued uninterrupted". 

The latest website 

domain, jinnews7.com, was 

blocked in Turkey on 

February 22 after AFP spoke 

to Elyakut. 

The website, funded by

that are off limits for Turkish 

media, including the fate of

leader jailed for life by 

Turkey for terror offences.

A Fable 

Showing the Descent of Ignoble 

Pride and the Elevation of 

Humble Merit. 

SAID a clean plate to a dish-cloth, 

as it leaned back with an indolent air of 

superiority against the cupboard wall : 

" Dear me, how you look ! Move away 

from me, I request you." 

"Ah me!" sighed the dish-cloth, " I 

once was a piece of cloth, unbroken, and as white as you. It is the keeping you tidy that 

has brought me to this complexion. I can remember when, after clearing away the distresses 

that clouded your face, how you have beamed brightly upon me. Think of the many 

times I have gone through hot and cold water for you. What would you soon look like 

without me? " 

" Oh," replied the plate, " dish-cloths are plenty enough, there's no trouble about that; 

besides, what have you done more than your duty ? Were it not for plates, what need would 

there be of dish-cloths ? You owe your very existence to the fact of our having a use for you. 

Be content to fill your proper sphere without repining, and consider it sufficient honor. Your 

labors are not arduous; we plates bear the burdens and represent your class for you; our very 

appearance is an acknowledgment that dish- cloths are an auxiliary of our private life. Be 

assured you are where you belong ; what else could you have been, anyway ? " 

Said the meek dish-cloth : " I find that I have several answers to make to what you have 

just spoken. In simply doing my duty I have been plunged into nauseous floods of dishwater, 

twisted and wrung in every fiber of my frame, and then shaken almost to pieces 

before I wiped your face, and, after all my tortures and labors, have hung patiently and 

conveniently near you on a nail ready at an instant's notice to attend you again. As to owing 

my existence to the fact of there being china in the world, that is scarcely positive. I was 

descended from the notable family of Flax, and took the preparatory degrees of my class 

with care and exactitude. I might have become a sheet or a pillow-case. Some of my 

cousins are fine towels and wear the finest borders and fringes, and wait upon the faces of 

persons instead of plates.

Sea otter 

The sea otter is a small marine mammal native 

to the north and eastern coasts of the Pacific 

Ocean. Despite the fact that sea otters are the 

largest members of the weasel family, sea otters are 

among the smallest mammals in the marine world. 

The sea otter is known to have one of the thickest, 

warmest coats of fur in the animal kingdom which 

helps to keep the sea otter warm in the cold waters of 

the North Pacific. Like their smaller river otter 

cousins, the sea otter is able to walk and live on the 

land but it is not uncommon for sea otters to spend 

their lives exclusively in the water. 

Sea otters are omnivores as they do eat seaweed

and other aquatic plants. Despite this though, most 

sea otter individuals have a primarily carnivorous 

diet with sea otters known to eat more than 40 different 

species of marine animals. The sea otter mainly 

hunts sea urchins, clams, crabs, snails and small fish 

in the water. The sea otter is one of the few animals 

in the world that has the remarkable trait of using 

tools, such as rocks, in order to get at it's prey. 

Sea otters have few natural predators in the sea 

due to their large size. Those sea otters that live further 

south are mainly preyed upon by the great white 

shark and those sea otters that inhabit more northern 

regions of the Pacific, are preyed upon by killer 

whales. Humans are one of the sea otters main predators 

as sea otters are hunted mainly for their incredibly 

dense fur. 

Sea otters are today considered to be an endangered 

species are they were extensively hunted for 

their fur in the 18th century which meant that sea 

otter populations took a devastating plunge and sea 

otters became rarer and rarer. There are estimated to 

be less than 2,000 sea otter individuals left in the wild 

today. 

There are three different species of sea otter that 

are recognised by science today. The common sea 

otter (also known as the Asian sea otter) is the largest 

of the tree sea otter subspecies and is found around 

the islands in the Western Pacific. The southern sea 

otter (also known as the Californian sea otter) is 

found off the coast of California and is known to 

have a narrow head and small teeth. The northern sea 

otter is native to Alaska and the North West of the 

Pacific. The northern sea otter was wiped out from 

the coast of British Columbia due to over hunting but 

has been recently reintroduced to Vancouver Island. 

Unlike other marine mammals, the sea otter does 

not have a layer of blubber to keep it warm, so the sea 

otter has to rely on it's dense fur to keep the cold out. 

The fur of the sea otter is so thick that no water actually 

touches the skin of the sea otter.

the approach to the national 

cricket board. 

“Acouple of players were

respond to the bookie and 

reported the matter to us.We 

are watching out for the culprits,”

Matthew 

McEwan on achieving the 

hat-trick as well. Matthew

the same cricket team for 

almost 15 years. I used to

more realistic if only, exports

January 2018 – by far the 

highest ever monthly import 

figure. 

The 7MFY17 cumulative 

imports now stand at $34.5

Exports have grown 

too, albeit at a much more 

modest rate of 11 percent 

year-on-year. Last time 

monthly exports crossed $2 

billion was way back in 

January 2015. The trade

Imports witness unprecedented 

growth amid widening deficit 

BEIJING: China warned Sunday that 

it was ready to hit back if the United 

States damaged its economic interests, 

fuelling fears of a trade war after 

President Donald Trump unveiled tariffs 

on steel and aluminium. 

Trump s announcement on Thursday 

sparked a flurry of counter-threats from 

other nations. But Washington s main 

trade rival had avoided any overt warnings 

of potential retaliation until now. 

"China doesn t want a trade war with 

the United States," Zhang Yesui, 

spokesman for the National People s 

Congress, told a news conference on 

Sunday, the eve of the rubber-stamp parliament 

s annual session. 

"But if the US takes actions that hurt 

Chinese interests, China will not sit idly

two years ago, when $3.5 

billion was total imports. The 

cumulative 7MFY18 trade 

deficit at $21.5 billion is 

already higher than the total 

exports in FY17. 

This column acknowledges 

that all imports are not 

necessarily bad. And that, 

imports do rise in an economy 

striving to break its 

shackles, in the quest to sustain 

growth. 

China 'won't sit idly by' if US hams trade 

by," Zhang said. An official English-language 

interpreter added the phrase, "and 

will take necessary measures". 

Zhang warned that "policies informed 

by misjudgement or wrong perceptions 

will hurt relations and bring consequences 

no side wants to see".

Pakistan Muslim League-

today and said in his speech 

that it was time to root-out 

the disease that Pakistan was 

suffering of for the past 70

development projects 

came in context of annulment 

of all decisions taken 

by him as party s head 

before he was disqualified 

and Punjab Chief Minister 

(CM) Shehbaz Sharif was 

elected party’s chief.

the rules and regulations had paid 

Rs 3.500 billion to NLC in 2012 for the 

construction of Sohawa, Chakwal road in 

his constituency. 

The Islamabad High Court in a case 

number 3387 has ordered the company 

to return this amount but the company 

(CPEC) is disqualified. A

negotiates gas agreements 

for Pakistan is disqualified, 

Nawaz added. 

He reiterated that he was 

disqualified by the top court

filed intra court appeal which was still 

pending the court. However, company 

claimed that it had constructed the road 

in the limit of Rs. 2.30 

billion.However, it was revealed in the 

official document that during the 

Nawaz Sharif government, Pak PWD 

had been paid some Rs 1.47 billion to 

the contractors of Islamabad- Peshawar

projects which has not been 

investigated at high level so far. 

for not obtaining salary from 

his son’s company against a 

position he was holding. 

Nawaz complained that a 

lawmaker who had secured 

crores of votes in General 

Elections 2013 was disqualified 

by five persons. Nawaz 

challenged the elements 

working against him to halt 

all development projects 

approved by him during his 

service as the premier of 

Pakistan that ended before 

due time on July 28, 2017. 

The nation has decided to 

fight a decisive war now, 

Nawaz claimed. 

He said that the parliament 

rejected apex court’s 

verdicts and elected ‘party’s 

candidates’ in majority in 

Senate election 2018.
