NoneHE the Minister of Commerce and Industry Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal al-Thani and the Minister of Energy of the Islamic Republic of Iran Dr Abbas Aliabadi co-chaired in Doha the 10th Qatar-Iran Joint Economic Commission. In the period of December 10-12, representatives of ministries, government agencies and investors from both sides discussed the progress on the recommendations of the joint technical working team. They deliberated strategies to boost bilateral co-operation, primarily in trade and industry, customs, handicrafts, health sector, scientific research, transportation and maritime shipping, communications and information technology, agriculture, free zones, culture, sports, and labour. The agenda also included increasing the volume of trade exchange through further bilateral trade, investment and industrial co-operation. In a speech, HE Sheikh Faisal hailed the close Qatar-Iran relations, noting that the regular commission meetings manifest the deep bilateral relations and the two sides' keenness to elevate co-operation across various fields. He said the bilateral relations had developed, thanks to the mutual official visits and the common will of the leaderships to expand the horizons of co-operation. He voiced hopes the Qatar-Iran Business Council would further enhance trade, industrial and investment co-operation, streamlining the flow of goods and services, and boosting the partnership between the two business sectors. Highlighting Qatar's investment environment, HE Sheikh Faisal detailed the main sectors identified by the Third National Development Strategy as promising opportunities to enhance bilateral partnership, especially in renewable energy, logistics, small and medium enterprises, food and agriculture, and strategic projects related to food security. He also called on Iranian investors and companies to explore the great opportunities in the Qatari market, stressing the importance of diversifying and strengthening the economic and investment partnership to serve common interests.

The Independent Planning Commission will not hold a public meeting as part of its review of the contentious 505 Minmi Road development proposal at Fletcher. Login or signup to continue reading The move has sparked an outcry from surrounding residents seeking to vent their concern about the project's potential adverse impacts on native habitat and local traffic among other issues. If built, about 180 homes would be built on the 26 hectare site. The matter was referred to the commission in August after the D epartment of Planning granted a City of Newcastle request to discontinue the planning assessment process for development proposal. It followed an Environment Protection Authority submission relating to the impact of odours, gases and air emissions generated from the Summerhill Waste Management Centre. The commission held a stakeholder meeting with project's proponents and the City of Newcastle earlier this month. It was not required to hold a public meeting due to the nature of the advice request from the department. It is due to provide its advice to the Department of Planning about the project's future within the next fortnight. Even though the houses in proposed development would be further from the waste cell than some existing homes, the proponent has been requested to conduct a 12 month study into how 505 Minmi Rd could be affected. Planning consultant Stephen Barr previously said he was concerned about a lack of consistency in the application of planning assessment for the 505 Minmi Road project and those surrounding it. He highlighted the fact that an equivalent request was not made of the developers of the adjacent Minmi Estate development that was approved earlier this year. "But I think it (the EPA request) also raises the question of if we're being impacted by the emissions or the environmental matters as a result of the waste management facility then there's obviously land a lot closer which is being impacted too." Mr Barr also raised concern about the council's dual role in managing the waste facility while also providing advice to the department about the future use of surrounding land. "You have got a situation where one part of the organisation is endorsing the need for more studies to look at the impact of the waste facility and the other part is saying the waste facility is fine," he said. The site has been the subject of a decades long tug of war between its owner Peter Durbin and the Green Corridor Coalition that wants it incorporated into a continuous corridor stretching from the Watagans nation Park to Stockton Bight. "There is only one corridor site left in the area not zoned for housing and that is 505 Minmi Road, Fletcher," Coalition spokesman Brian Purdue said previously. "Green Corridor Coalition again calls for this to be purchased for the National Parks Estate and then, along with the lands to Mt. Sugarloaf, fully protected by state parliament legislation, which is not presently protected." Matthew Kelly has worked as a journalist for more than 25 years.

Joe Biden begins final White House holiday season with turkey pardons for 'Peach' and 'Blossom' WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has kicked off his final holiday season at the White House, issuing the traditional reprieve to two turkeys who will bypass the Thanksgiving table to live out their days in Minnesota. The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Separately, first lady Jill Biden received the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens are traveling to New York later Monday for an early holiday celebration with members of the Coast Guard. Bah, humbug! Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by announcing plans Monday to hand more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. New Zealanders save more than 30 stranded whales by lifting them on sheets WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — More than 30 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand have been safely returned to the ocean after conservation workers and residents helped to refloat them by lifting them on sheets. New Zealand’s conservation agency said four whales died. New Zealand is a whale stranding hotspot and pilot whales are especially prolific stranders. The agency praised as “incredible” the efforts made by hundreds of people to help save the foundering pod. A Māori cultural ceremony for the three adult whales and one calf that died in the stranding took place Monday. Rainbow-clad revelers hit Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s pride parade RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Thousands of revelers have gathered alongside Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s annual gay pride parade, many scantily dressed and covered in glitter. Rainbow-colored flags, towels and fans abounded among the crowd mostly made up of young revelers, who danced and sang along to music blaring from speakers. While the atmosphere was festive, some spoke of the threat of violence LGBTQ+ people face in Brazil. At least 230 LGBTQ+ Brazilians were victims of violent deaths in 2023, according to the umbrella watchdog group Observatory of LGBTQ+ deaths and violence in Brazil.
