'We're getting better too,' Mortaza warns England

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza accepted England were a far better side than the one his team knocked out of the 2015 World Cup but insisted the Tigers had improved too ahead of their Champions Trophy opener.Tournament hosts England and Bangladesh launch the Champions Trophy, a mini World Cup featuring crickets leading eight one-day international sides, at the Oval on Thursday.Both teams are set to feature several survivors from Bangladeshs 15-run win at Adelaide which condemned England to a woeful first-round exit from the last World Cup.It was a result that led England to completely revamp their approach to the white-ball game.But it was also an indication of how Bangladesh were more than just a team to be respected in sub-continental conditions, something they emphasised with wins over New Zealand and Ireland in a triangular warm-up tournament in Dublin this month.We just recently beat New Zealand in Ireland, Mortaza told reporters at the Oval on Wednesday.It was some encouragement for Bangladesh after a 2016/17 tour of New Zealand where they were beaten in all formats.We couldnt win any matches, but the thing is, we played really good cricket, said Mortaza. Its just we couldnt finish well, thats it.Mortaza, also Bangladeshs captain in Adelaide, played down the significance of that result by telling reporters at the Oval on Wednesday: Look, it was a long time back. And after then, England is a totally different team. The way they are playing, if you look at the last two years, their performance, they win almost everything. And especially at home, they are a serious side.However, Mortaza added: But we know that we are also a better side; that we are a very improving side.We have some experience. If you look at our side, at least four or five players have been playing cricket together the last 10, 12 years, more than 10, 12 years. That is the most important thing.The other thing also, is that we have some exciting youngsters like Mustafizur and Sabbir Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, those players are also in our side.Bangladesh were shot out for 84 by Champions Trophy title-holders India at the Oval on Tuesday in a crushing warm-up defeat.You know, 84 obviously doesnt look good, said Mortaza. I hope that the batters will understand their role and not to think about much about yesterday (Tuesday).I think we can handle tomorrow (Thursday) especially.

England's Roy gets Morgan backing

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - England captain Eoin Morgan gave struggling opener Jason Roy a huge vote of confidence on the eve of the Champions Trophy by guaranteeing his place for the tournament.Roy has been out for single-figure scores in four of his last five one-day internationals and hasnt made a fifty in his last 11 innings in all cricket.England launch the Champions Trophy, a tournament featuring the worlds top eight ODI sides, against Bangladesh at the Oval, Roys Surrey home ground, on Thursday.But even if the dashing 26-year-old, who has an ODI strike-rate of over 102 but an average of 36, does not come good against the Tigers, Morgan is determined to stick with him.The decision remains the same throughout the tournament, Morgan told reporters at the Oval on Wednesday. Jason Roy is part of our strong opening partnership with Alex Hales. Hell definitely play.England collapsed to 20 for six in their final pre-tournament one-day international against South Africa at Lords on Monday.Jonny Bairstow spared England total embarrassment in seven-wicket defeat by the Proteas with a fine 51 -- his third fifty in his last four ODIs.Bairstow has also opened in white-ball cricket for Yorkshire and there are many who believe the England Test wicket-keeper is worthy of becoming an ODI regular, even as a batsman only.But Morgan said of Bairstow: He will miss out unfortunately. Its been the case like that for the last couple of years. Hes been very good when hes come in, but each and every one of us within the batting department has had ups and downs over the years.England have made huge progress in ODI cricket since Bangladesh knocked them out of the 2015 World Cup in a dramatic match at Adelaide, with their now dynamic approach leading many pundits to make them favourites for the Champions Trophy.Former Ireland batsman said not chopping and changing had been key to Englands recent white-ball success.One of the strongest parts of reinforcing the way that we play and the freedom in which we play with is backing that up with selection, he explained.Asked if Roys place would be under threat if he didnt come good in the first couple of group games, Morgan replied: I cannot see it (Roys position) changing.Morgan cited Roys role in helping England reach the final of last years World Twenty20 in India -- where they lost to the West Indies in Kolkata -- as proof of how he could come good in a tournament.He hadnt gotten runs in a warm-up game against New Zealand, and then was a huge part of us getting to the final of that T20 tournament, Morgan recalled.If we want our players to play cagey or without freedom, yes, we would change things and probably half of us wouldnt be here.Jason really epitomises the way we play; the aggression in which he plays, he always plays for the team, and he plays in a manner that is dictated with that. Hes a very important part of our side.All-rounder Ben Stokes only bowled five overs during Englands 2-1 series win against South Africa and didnt play the third match at Lords because of a knee injury.Stokes bowled on the outfield during Englands training session at The Oval on Wednesday and Morgan said: We will see how he pulls up tomorrow (Thursday) to see how much he will bowl. But I certainly see him bowling.Morgan, however, having seen Stokes hit a series -winning hundred against the Proteas at Southampton on Saturday, said England would be prepared to play him as a batsman only.Absolutely. Its a very strange injury in that its only in his delivery stride that he feels the pain.So if given he couldnt bowl, I still think hed make great contributions with the bat and in the field.

Shareholders vote for ExxonMobil transparency on climate impact

Posted:

NEW YORK, May 31, 2017 (AFP) - ExxonMobils shareholders voted decisively Wednesday to push the oil giant to test how the fight against global warming could affect its business, handing a victory to environmentalists at a critical juncture for climate policy worldwide.The proposal, backed by 62.3 percent of shareholders, urges Exxon to come clean on what tougher public policies -- in line with the Paris accord on curbing global emissions -- would mean for its portfolio.The advisory vote came as President Donald Trump weighs whether to pull the United States out of the Paris agreement.Exxon chief executive Darren Woods, who praised the Paris accord but argued the shareholder proposal was unnecessary, said the oil giant would consider its policy position in light of the vote.Exxon has for years successfully beaten back previous shareholder votes on climate change, but some leading institutional investors signaled they were considering changing their stance following pressure from activist investors.Environmentalists have argued that Exxons petroleum-dominated portfolio could become uneconomic under tougher climate policies, and the company has not thoroughly analyzed this risk. They call on Exxon to invest more in renewable energy and less in oil.The proposal, submitted by the New York State Common Retirement Fund, seeks an annual assessment of Exxons assets under different policy scenarios, including those that limit temperature increases to under two degrees Celsius, consistent with the 2015 Paris accord.Exxon had argued that its planning already took into account the possibility for stricter climate policies and that oil would remain a vital source of global energy for years to come, even under the toughest policy scenarios.Woods said during his presentation at the meeting, that even under the Paris accords, some $11 trillion in new oil investment would be needed.

CNN fires comedian over decapitated Trump photo

Posted:

NEW YORK (AFP) - US television network CNN on Wednesday fired a comedian from its annual New Years Eve coverage after she provoked outrage for being photographed holding up a prop depicting Donald Trumps bloodied severed head.The US president castigated Kathy Griffin saying she should be ashamed of herself for the grisly-looking photograph. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick he tweeted.The photo in questionGriffin, 56, who had co-hosted CNNs annual New Years Eve coverage for the last decade, apologized on Tuesday and said she had asked the celebrity photographer Tyler Shields to remove the picture from the internet.But it was not enough to save her job with CNN.CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Years Eve program, its communications division announced on Twitter.The network had said earlier it was evaluating its New Years Eve coverage and called the picture disgusting and offensive.First Lady Melania Trump also criticized the outspoken Trump critic, who has twice won Emmys for her reality show My Life on the D List.As a mother, a wife, and a human being, that photo is very disturbing, the presidents wife said in a rare statement.When you consider some of the atrocities happening in the world today, a photo opportunity like this is simply wrong and makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it, she added.In a 31-second video posted to social media late Tuesday Griffin said: I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a mistake and I was wrong.Trumps eldest son Donald Jr, who runs the family business in New York, and Mitt Romney, the defeated 2012 Republican presidential nominee, were among those conservatives who slammed the photograph.Our politics have become too base, too low & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffins post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory, Romney tweeted.Even Trump critics vented disapproval.It is never funny to joke about killing a president, tweeted Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Trumps former election rival Hillary.I think she was thinking she was making some artistic statement, but that image has no place in our political dialogue, Al Franken, Democratic Senator from Minnesota and a former comedian on long-running television show Saturday Night Live, told MSNBC.The Secret Service said it would look into the incident, posting on Twitter that threats against protectees receive the highest priority of all of our investigations.Squatty Potty, a Utah-based bathroom products company, suspended an advertising campaign featuring Griffin, calling the picture deeply inappropriate.

Malaysia Airlines plane turns back after 'bomb threat'

Posted:

SYDNEY, May 31, 2017 (AFP) - A Malaysia Airlines flight was forced to return to Melbourne airport Wednesday after a passenger tried to force his way into the cockpit claiming he had a bomb, officials said.Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said the passenger, who he identified as a Sri Lankan national, appeared to have been drunk and was overpowered by the planes crew and later arrested by airport security in Melbourne.It is not a hijack. One disruptive passenger tried to enter the planes cockpit, he told AFP.The passenger... claimed to have a bomb. But it was not a bomb but a powerbank, Aziz said.Everyone on board is safe... He was taken out of the plane handcuffed by Australian security officers.Kuala Lumpur-bound Flight MH128 departed Melbourne at 11:11pm (1311 GMT) on Wednesday but turned back shortly afterwards when a man allegedly threatened those on board, Australian police said.It is alleged that a man tried to enter the cockpit and threatened the safety of passengers and staff, Victoria state police said in a statement, but added that he did not gain entry to the cockpit and was subdued.Passengers are currently exiting the plane and speaking to investigators, police said.A passenger sitting in business class, who identified himself as Andy, told Melbourne commercial radio station 3AW the man threatened to blow the plane up.The staff were saying Sit back down sir, sit back down sir. He goes No, Im not going to sit back down, Im going to blow the plane up, Andy told 3AW.The staff screamed out I need some help, I need some help. So I jumped up, undid my buckle, and approached him.Andy said the man ran to the back of the plane, where two other men grabbed and disarmed him of a giant black thing and put hog ties on him.Malaysia Airlines said the passengers would be put up at hotels and offered another flight.The incident came just months after Canberra called off the search for missing flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers and crew, after a vast underwater hunt off Australias west coast failed to find the plane.MH370 disappeared in March 2014, while another passenger jet, MH17, was shot down in July of the same year while flying over Ukraine in twin tragedies to hit Malaysias national carrier.

A real scorcher: NASA probe to fly into sun's atmosphere

Posted:

MIAMI (AFP) - A new NASA mission aims to brush by the sun, coming closer than any spacecraft in history to its scorching heat and radiation in order to reveal how stars are made, the US space agency said Wednesday.After liftoff from Kennedy Space Center in Florida in July 2018, the Parker Solar Probe will become the first to fly directly into the suns atmosphere, known as the corona.The plan for the unmanned spacecraft is to orbit within 3.9 million miles (6.3 million kilometers) of the suns surface.Temperatures in that region exceed 2,500 Fahrenheit (1,377 Celsius), for which the spacecraft is equipped with a 4.5-inch-thick (11.43 cm) carbon-composite shield.Roughly the size of a small car, the probe will make seven flybys of the sun over a seven-year period, in what NASA described as a mission of extremes.Traveling at a speed of 430,000 mph, the spacecraft will move fast -- like going from New York City to Tokyo in less than a minute.Scientists hope its data will improve forecasts of solar storms and space weather events that affect life on Earth, satellites and astronauts in space.Time for a visitThe spacecraft will measure plasma waves and high-energy particles, and carry a white light imager to capture images of the structures through which it is flying, according to Nicola Fox, mission project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.We will brush closely by it, she said at an event in Chicago to unveil the mission, which NASA has touted as promising to provide humanitys closest-ever observations of a star.You can learn so much from looking out the window, Fox said. You can see the sun is shining, you can see the birds are singing. But until you actually go out, you have no idea quite how hot it is out there or how windy it is, or what the conditions are like.I think we have really come as far as we can with looking at things and now it is time to go up and pay it a visit, she added.A 20-day launch window for the spacecrafts liftoff atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket opens July 31, 2018.Re-named after astrophysicistInitially called Solar Probe Plus, the mission was renamed after the astrophysicist Eugene Parker, 89, professor emeritus at the University of Chicago.He published the first paper to describe solar wind -- the high-speed matter and magnetism constantly escaping the sun -- in 1958.This is the first time NASA has named a spacecraft for a living individual, said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASAs Science Mission Directorate in Washington.Its a testament to the importance of his body of work, founding a new field of science that also inspired my own research and many important science questions NASA continues to study and further understand every day.Parker, who is days away from his 90th birthday, described the mission as very exciting.One would like to have some more detailed measurements of whats going on in the solar wind, he said.Im sure that there will be some surprises, he added. There always are.

Modi urges Spanish firms to invest in India

Posted:

MADRID (AFP) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday urged Spanish firms to invest in India, saying the fast-growing countrys massive infrastructure programme offered them many opportunities.India is an enormous country and it offers many opportunities to Spanish firms in all sectors, he said before holding talks with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in Madrid.The two countries notably signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of cyber security during Modis visit as well as a prisoner exchange agreement.Spanish firms are well positioned to take advantage of a massive infrastructure programme which his government has launched, Modi said in an interview published in Spanish business daily Expansion.India plans to build six large ports, 250 new airports and 27,000 kilometres (16,800 miles) of highway, and modernise 400 train stations by 2025, he said.The country has also bet strongly on renewable energy.As a signatory to the Paris Agreement on climate change, India is committed to ensuring that at least 40 percent of its electricity will be generated from non-fossil-fuel sources by 2030.Spanish firms are global leaders in sectors that are a priority for us. We want to attract tourism, infrastructure, energy and defence firms, he told the newspaper.After holding talks with Rajoy, Modi met with the heads of top Spanish firms behind closed doors to encourage them to explore investment opportunities in India, the worlds fastest-growing major economy.Renewable energy groups Abengoa and Gamesa, infrastructure firm Acciona, train maker Talgo, state-owned shipbuilder Navantia and technology company Indra were among the firms represented.Modi, who arrived in Spain late on Tuesday from Germany, his first stop on a four-nation Europe tour, also met with King Felipe VI before departing for Russia.His tour also leads him to France -- but not to former colonial power Britain.Britain, which is set to leave the EU by 2019, wants to boost trade with India, which is meanwhile also trying to revive stalled, decade-old trade talks with the EU.Spain is Indias seventh largest trading partner in the European Union.Two-way trade totalled 4.72 billion euros ($5.27 billion) in 2016, an 8.5 percent increase over the previous year, of which Spanish exports made up nearly 1.26 billion euros.The number of Spanish firms that operate in India has risen to over 230 currently from just 70 in 2008.Our bilateral relations are becoming more and more intense. I hope this visit spurs deeper ties between our two countries, Rajoy said.It was the first visit by an Indian prime minister to Spain since the late Narashima Rao travel to the country in 1992.

England and Bangladesh aim to banish batting blues

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - England and Bangladesh will look for a return to form from their top-order batsmen when they launch the Champions Trophy at the Oval on Thursday.On Monday, across London at Lords, England collapsed to 20 for six in five overs -- the worst start in one-day international history -- against the South Africa new-ball duo of Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell.It certainly was a wake-up call in the fact that you need to be able to adapt in different circumstances, England captain Eoin Morgan told reporters at the Oval on Wednesday.Even in June, early morning cloud cover that aids swing is often a key part of English cricket conditions.At Lords, a green-tinged pitch did not find favour with Morgan but even on more placid surfaces the issue of how best to bat under grey skies, which can often set in all day in England, remains.England were already an unbeatable 2-0 up in the three-match series against South Africa and although Morgan was glad the reverse had come before the Champions Trophy rather than during the tournament, it remains a worry.Bangladesh highlighted the issue of under-performing openers in dramatic style by collapsing to 84 all out in reply to Champions Trophy title-holders Indias 324 for seven in their final warm-up match at the Oval on Tuesday.Defeat by 240 runs was certainly not what they wanted.You know, 84 obviously doesnt look good, said Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza.You have to think what the mistake was, so I think we can handle tomorrow especially.- Huge upward curve -=======================The Champions Trophy opener is set to feature several survivors on both sides from Bangladeshs 2015 World Cup win over England, when a hundred from Mahmudullah and aggressive seam bowling propelled the Tigers to a memorable success at the Adelaide Oval.That defeat knocked England out of the World Cup and led them to adopt a far more aggressive approach to the one-day game that, blips like Monday apart, has served them well in the intervening two years.Since then, weve been on a huge upward curve, and weve been tremendously lucky in the fact we have had a group of players that have bought into a way of playing and enjoyed it, and executed extremely well, said Morgan.At no stage have we second-guessed ourselves or the direction that were going in, and thats very powerful as a group I think.But Mortaza said Bangladesh had it in them to spring a surprise.The thing is that we all know that on a given day we can beat anybody. But we have to start well.He added: England are a very good side. Joe Root, Jason Roy, obviously captain Eoin Morgan is in good form, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler.But again, its cricket and anything can happen in the game. So you never know.Bangladesh come into the Champions Trophy bolstered by warm-up wins over New Zealand and Ireland in Dublin this month.Whatever you have done in the past gives you a little bit of confidence, but then you have to start again, said Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusinghe, the former Sri Lanka batsman.So whatever we do first against England, we need to start well and thats what we are focusing on.

Iran TV uses green screen to bypass headscarf rules

Posted:

TEHRAN, May 31, 2017 (AFP) - For Iranian viewers sitting down for this years primetime historical drama during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, there was a shock: you could see womens hair.The directors trick: popping across the border to neighbouring Armenia to film women without headscarves in front of a green screen and then super-imposing them into the background of Iranian scenes.This is a technical achievement for our cinema and television that can be of service in future, director Jalil Saman said in Wednesdays Haft-e Sobh newspaper.The month of Ramadan, which started on Saturday, is always a showcase for high-profile TV serials and this year it is Samans Nafas (or Breath), about a nurse being dragged into the revolutionary tumult of the late 1970s, that has garnered the most attention.Iranian TV can show foreign films with unscarved women -- although too much leg or cleavage gets blurred out or hidden behind a digitally inserted object such as a lamp.But local programmes must normally abide by strict rules in which no female hair can be shown, even for historical dramas or scenes set in a family home where real-life women do not cover their heads.Saman said it would have been absurd to show everyone in a headscarf since the show is set before the Islamic revolution of 1979 when women were free to wear whatever they wanted.Shows set during that period are usually ruined, he told Haft-e Sobh, because they cannot show how things really looked.They give the impression that Islam was followed more before the revolution than today, he said.We have only shown a part of how it was before the revolution but some cannot even tolerate this.Saman said he was refused permission by the censors to use actresses in wigs, a trick used for several high-profile shows in the past.The other popular option -- having women in hats with scarves wrapped around their ears and neck -- was ridiculous he added.So instead Saman turned to green screening, in which actresses are filmed in front of a green background that can be digitally removed and the character inserted into other scenes.Iranian film-makers must obtain three separate authorisations: for the script, filming and release.But the authorities admit that a majority of Iranians now own a satellite dish -- even though they are technically illegal -- beaming in uncensored programming from all over the world.It is part of the steady erosion of strict Islamic rules -- in practice, if not in theory -- that has also seen headscarves pushed further and further back, especially in wealthier parts of Tehran.President Hassan Rouhani won a resounding re-election victory this month, promising a further easing of social restrictions, although he faces considerable opposition from the clerical establishment.

Ukraine doctor pioneering 'three-parent' babies

Posted:

KIEV (AFP) - A 34-year-old woman tried to have a baby for 15 years before she turned to a pioneering doctor in Ukraine and a groundbreaking but ethically disputed three-parent procedure.She became the mother of a healthy baby boy in January at a private clinic in Kiev using a process called pronuclear transfer that inserts the couples genes into a donors egg.The procedure had been previously used to treat serious genetic diseases.But doctor Valeriy Zukin become the first to use it to help two separate infertile couples have children in this way.There are patients whom we cannot help to have their own genetically-related baby unless we use this method, the 60-year-old told AFP at his Nadiya clinic.Some two million women across the globe use in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to get pregnant every year.But Zukins treatment targets a tiny percentage of women whose embryos suffer from a disorder called embryo arrest that can either stunt development or kill them.The difference in the method Zukin uses is that a womans egg is first fertilised with her partners sperm.Then its nucleus is transferred to a donors egg that has been stripped of its own nucleus.The egg is thus almost entirely made up of genetic material from the couple -- plus a tiny amount (about 0.15 percent) from the female donors DNA.Need for cautionNot everyone however shares Zukins enthusiasm.Ukraines conservative clerics argue that the technique breaches ethical norms.A child can only have two parents and the presence of a third person -- and especially the DNA of a third person -- is morally unacceptable, Father Feodosiy of the dominant Ukrainian Orthodox Church told AFP.It violates the sanctity of the marriage between woman and man.Other religions have also weighed in on the issue with the Roman Catholic Church opposing the move because it would involve the destruction of human embryos as part of the process. The Church of England has said ethical concerns have not been sufficiently addressed.Even some scientists have reservations.They warn against jumping to early conclusions about how successful the method would be if it were to be applied to the general population.We cannot talk about its wide use yet, Larysa Tumanova, a professor at Kievs Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, told AFP.First, we have to monitor the newborns health until they turn at least three, she said.Other experts point out that the three-parent technique -- a different form of which has also produced a baby in Mexico -- was initially being developed for those at very high risk of passing on serious genetic diseases.Line of hopeful mumsZukin strongly defends the work at his clinic.We explain the essence of the method to each patient, he says. We report possible risks.And there is currently a line of hopeful mothers ready to pay the 12,000 euros ($13,100) it takes to undergo the pronuclear transfer procedure.We have patients from Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Israel, Portugal and Brazil, he says.Zukin thinks between 10,000 and 20,000 women a year could potentially be candidates for using the method to conceive -- a figure large enough to seek out a foreign partnership that could study how best to use this technique.His health centre is now working with Chinas Shanghai University to determine the genetic causes of abnormalities in embryo development at an early stage.I hope that through joint efforts, we will be able to find in a more targeted way those whom this method will help, Zukin says.
