a bid to settle a crisis that

has pitted her government

against Bangkok's conserv-

ative elite and middle class.

The demonstrators

have threatened to shut

down Bangkok after the

New Year, with plans to

block roads in up to 20

places, although the scopeof their protests has not al-

ways matched the promises

made by their leader, Suth-

ep Thaugsuban.

Yingluck has not been

in Bangkok for more than a

week, spending time among

supporters in the north,

but she used social media

to send a message seeking

peace and reconciliation.

On the occasion of

New Year 2014, may I ask

all Thais to be united inmind, to seek a blessing for

the Thai people to love and

harmonize and for those

who differ in views, be it

their political ideology or

belief, to reconcile for a

peaceful resolution for our

nation, she said in a Face-

book post.

The demonstrators

are determined to topple

Yingluck, who they see

as a puppet of her self-

exiled brother and former

premier, Thaksin Shi-

nawatra.

gridlocked streets weremostly clear on Tuesday as

inces for the holiday.

Afghanistan rejects

grim US intelligence

forecast as baseless

KABUL, 31 Dec Af-

ghanistan on Monday re-jected as baseless a US in-telligence forecast that the

gains the United States andallies have made in the past

three years will be signi-

cantly rolled back by 2017.The US National In-

telligence Estimate alsopredicted that Afghani-stan would fall into chaos

if Washington and Kabul

failed to sign a pact to keepan international military

contingent there beyond2014.

President Hamid Kar-

zais spokesman dismissedthe US forecast, reportedby the Washington Post on

the weekend, and suggestedthere was an ulterior motivefor it.

We strongly rejectthat as baseless as they havein the past been proved in-

accurate, Faizi told Reu-ters. Relations betweenAfghanistan and the United

States have grown seriouslystrained recently by Kar-zais refusal to sign the se-

curity pact that would per-mit some US forces to stay.

US ofcials have said

that unless a deal is reached

to keep perhaps 8,000 UStroops, the Talean mightstage a major comeback

and al-Qaeda could regainsafe havens.

The pact must also be

signed for the United Statesand its allies to provide bil-

lions more dollars in aid.Without a deal, the

United States could pull

out all troops, the so-called

zero option, leaving Afghanforces to battle the Taleban

on their own.The United States has

set a Tuesday deadline for

Afghanistan to sign thepact but the White Househas said it is prepared to let

the deadline slip until earlyJanuary. The US intelli-gence estimate predicted

setbacks even if some UStroops remained. But some

US ofcials felt the forecastwas overly pessimistic, theWashington Post said.

Faizi suggested the

leaking of the gloomy USintelligence report was partof bid to press Karzai into

granting the Taleban con-trol of some areas as part of

a peace moves.Reuters

Integral operation of GSDF intelligence,

special units being considered

TOKYO, 31 Dec Japans Ground Self-De-fence Force has been con-

sidering integral operationof its intelligence and spe-cial units since around 2008

for overseas hostage rescuemissions, inltrations intoenemy territory and target

surveillance, former sen-ior defence ofcials told

Kyodo Newson Monday.

The existence of the in-telligence unit was reportedby Kyodo News in Novem-

ber. It has secretly gathered

intelligence abroad sincethe Cold War era without

informing the prime minis-ter, the commander-in-chiefof the Self-Defence Forces,

or defence minister, a prac-tice considered as deviating

from civilian control.While the government

denies its existence, a for-

mer senior ofcial of theGSDFs special unit, whichwas established in 2004 to

counter terrorist and guer-

rilla attacks, said, We needa powerful intelligence unitto enable the special unit to

sneak into enemy bases toattack them.

According to the former

ofcials and other sources, itis envisioned that the intel-ligence unit would be intro-

duced in special operationswith an eye on overseasdeployment of the SDF, fol-

lowing the example of theUS Navy SEALs, known forstorming and killing al-Qae-

da chief Osama bin Laden in

Pakistan in 2011.While the special unit

was created to tackle at-tacks that police forces can-not deal with, its overseas

duties, including recon-struction support for war-

ravaged Iraq, have expand-ed since then. On the otherhand, the special unit has

secretly engaged in drillsfor rescuing hostages over-

seas and inltrating intoenemy territory as well as

conducting reconnaissancefor aerial bombardmenttargets, according to the

sources.Through such train-

ing, the special unit has

found it does not havesufcient capabilities togather information using lo-

cal informants. The GSDFhas already started linking

the reshufe of senior of-

cials in the special unit withpersonnel changes in theintelligence unit. The intel-

ligence unit has set up bases

in countries such as Russia,China, South Korea and

Poland, and several dozenGSDF members have en-gaged in intelligence activi-

ties overseas without legalbasis and by assuming false

identities, such as ofcialsof Japanese governmentbodies other than the De-

fence Ministry and employ-ees of Japanese trading com-panies, according to former

ofcials.Kyodo News

Thailands army moves

to allay coup fearsBANGKOK, 31 Dec

Thailands powerful but

politicized army soughtto ease fears on Mondayit might step in to resolve

a festering political crisis,while anti-government pro-

testers entrenched positionsaround Bangkok as theyseek to disrupt a February

election.The latest round of an

all-too-familiar political

conict in Thailand hasdragged on for weeks.

It ared last week intodeadly clashes betweenpolice and protesters out-side a stadium where reg-

istration for the 2 Februarypoll was under way and at

other rally sites around theThai capital.

The head of the mili-tary added to the grow-ing sense of unease on

Thursday when he refusedto rule out a coup after

those clashes. A police-man and a protester werekilled when an unidenti-

ed gunman opened re,and scores were woundedin the clashes.

The demonstratorsare determined to topplePrime Minister Yingluck

Shinawatra, who they ac-cuse of being a puppet ofher self-exiled brother and

former premier, ThaksinShinawatra.

Thai army chief Gener-

al Prayuth Chan-Ocha saidafter Thursdays clashesthat the door was neither

open nor closed on a coup,and social media acrossThailand has buzzed with

rumours of a coup ever

since. Army spokesman

Winthai Suwaree soughtto play down those fears,telling reporters on Mon-

day that the rumours werecausing confusion andspeculation.

world powers and Iran havemade good progress in ex-pert talks in Geneva on

how to roll out last months

landmark nuclear dealwhich obliges Teheran tosuspend its most sensitiveatom work, a senior Iranian

ofcial said on Tuesday.It was unclear how

close the seven countries

came to resolving all thenumerous practical issuesinvolved in putting the

24 November accord intopractice or whether theyhad agreed on a date to

implement it after all-night

talks. Abbas Araqchi, Iransdeputy negotiator, toldIrans state news agency

only that some issues re-

mained to be agreed at amore senior level. Westerncountries led by the UnitedStates fear that Irans nucle-

ar work has military goalsand have imposed years ofcrippling sanctions on Iran in

an effort to force Teheran tocurb its nuclear programme.

Iran denies seeking to

build an atomic bomb andsays its nuclear work isaimed at power generation

and medical research.

The Geneva gatheringwas the third time since 24November that nuclear ex-

perts and sanctions special-

ists from the United States,Russia, China, France, Brit-ain and Germany had mettheir Iranian counterparts

to work out the implemen-tation of the breakthroughnuclear accord.

In the meeting, whichlasted nearly 23 hours andended at 7 am (0600 GMT),

the sides again sought toagree how exactly Iranwould meet its obligation to

suspend some uranium en-

richment and how westerngovernments would easesanctions in return. The

last meeting ... resulted ingood progress, Araqchiwas quoted by IRNA as

saying. The experts will

present their reports todeputies and political direc-tors because some of the

remaining issues need tobe resolved at the politicallevel.Reuters

NEWYORK,31 Dec The US aviation regulatortook a step toward openingthe skies to aerial droneson Monday, authorizingsix sites where unmannedaircraft can be tested for avariety of uses.

The Federal AviationAdministration already hasapproved limited use ofdrones in the US for law

enforcement, surveillance,atmospheric research andother applications.

But Mondays movewill give companies, uni-versities and other entitieslocations at which to testmuch broader use, suchas crop spraying, catchingexotic-animal poachers ordelivering packages.

It provides the platform

for this research to be car-ried out on a very large scaleacross the country, FederalAviation Administration Ad-ministrator Michael Huerta

told reporters.The rst test site is

expected to be open in sixmonths and the sites willoperate at least until Feb-ruary 2017. The FAA saidthe test sites will be de-veloped by the Universityof Alaska, the state of Ne-vada, Grifss International

Airport in New York state,the North Dakota Depart-ment of Commerce, TexasA&M University at CorpusChristi, and Virginia Poly-technic Institute and StateUniversity, which includeslocations in New Jersey.

The FAA is required towrite initial rules govern-ing commercial operationof drones by 2015. The testsites will operate longer, al-lowing rules to evolve withfurther testing, Huerta said.

Drones are smaller

and less costly alternativesto manned aircraft, andare a growing business foraerospace companies suchas Boeing Co, Northrop

Grumman Corp, LockheedMartin Corp and AeroVi-ronment Inc.

Beyond military ca-pabilities, they also offeruses to businesses and re-searchers. Amazon.comInc recently unveiled plansfor drones to deliver smallpackages to homes.

Global spending on un-manned aircraft will almostdouble to $11.6 billion ayear by 2023, according tothe latest estimate by avia-tion and aerospace industryresearch rm Teal Group.

agreed to sell its 35 percentstake to Chinas Sinochemfor $1.56 billion. Shell andONGC, though, exercisedtheir right of rst refusal.

ONGC agreed to $529 mil-lion for the 12 percent stakein October, valuing the entiresale about the same as theamount Sinochem agreed topay.

The additional shareof oil coming to Shell fromBC-10 could see the com-pany jump past ChinasSinochem to become Bra-zils No 4 producer, behindPetrobras, Norways StatoilASA (STL.OL) and Brit-ains BG Group Plc (BG.L),based on October guresfrom Brazils petroleumregulator, the ANP.

Petrobras, as the Bra-zilian company is known,has been selling off assetsin Brazil and abroad in anattempt to raise cash to -

nance a $237 billion ve-year investment plan, theworlds largest corporatespending programme.

Petrobras need forcash has risen as produc-tion from older oil eldshas stagnated and outputfrom new areas comes online behind schedule, forc-ing the company to boostdebt to nance investment.The government has alsoforced the company to sellgasoline and diesel fuel athome at prices below thoseon the world market, caus-ing its rening and supply

arm to lose money as fuelimports rise.

The BC-10 block ishome to Shell and ONGCsParque das Conchas, orShell Park area. Theblock, at the north end ofBrazils Campos Basin,

northeast of Rio de Janeiro,is home to the Ostra, Abalo-ne, and Argonaut oilelds.Shell is the operator of thearea.

Parque das Conchas,which began operatingin 2009, produces about

50,000 barrels a day of oil.The company approved athird phase of the projectin July which could add asmuch as 28,000 barrels aday of oil output to the pro-ject, Shell said.

Pzer, the largest drug-maker in the United States,contravened Chinese lawwhen one of its France-based factories failed to

submit a supplementary ap-plication on time, the ChinaFood and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) said in the state-ment.

Pzer has taken steps

to resolve the issue and isworking with Chinas FDAto ensure its products com-ply with Chinese law, itsaid in a statement on itsChinese-language website.The issue is not linked toquality or safety, it added.

of medical evidence since2004, the panel found the

benets of screening high-risk individuals with low-dose computed tomogra-phy, or CT scans, outweighthe potential harms of over-diagnosis and increased ex-posure to radiation, whichalso contribute to cancerrisk.

The panel, which iscomprised of independent

experts and advises US poli-cymakers, gave the screen-ing a B recommendation,meaning it is at least moder-

ately certain that the benetsof the scans outweigh theharms. Under the Afford-able Care Act, insurers arerequired to cover preventiveservices with a grade of Bor higher.

The guidelines are in-tended to help prevent someof the 160,000 annual lungcancer deaths in the UnitedStates, which exceed the to-tal number of deaths frombreast, prostate and coloncancer combined.

of nuclear power under aplan to reduce the propor-

Officials could be

punished in event of info

leaks in cyberattacksTOKYO, 31 Dec Gov-

ernment ofcials in chargeof information managementcould be punished under thenewly enacted secrecy law if

state secrets leak due to cy-berattacks, an internal gov-ernment document showed

on Monday.The document, com-

piled in November 2011, is

a record of discussions be-tween the Foreign Ministryand the Cabinet Intelligence

and Research Ofce, an in-telligence-collection agency

that oversees the secrecylaw, in the process of draft-ing the law. Responding to a

question from the ministryregarding whether ofcialscould still be held liable

despite the implementationof safety control measures,

the research ofce said theycould, in general terms, beresponsible for intentional

or negligent failure to act.The ministry appar-

ently had in mind the in-creasing number of cyberat-

tacks targeted at diplomatic

establishments abroad, while

the research ofce referredto cyberattacks against somedefence-related companies,such as Mitsubishi Heavy

Industries Ltd and IHI Corp,according to the document.Under the secrecy law en-

acted on 7 December to pre-vent the leak of state secrets,

ofcials who leak conden-

tial information due to neg-ligence will face up to two

years in prison or nes of upto 500,000 yen. Meanwhile,those who wage cyberat-

tacks will face up to 10 yearsin prison.

The government will

set up a third-party panel inthe Cabinet Ofce in Janu-ary, which is expected to

advise the prime ministerabout uniform criteria fordesignating and declassify-

Make lms worthy of

praiseAcademy Awards are a set of awards givenannually for excellence of cinematic achieve-

ments. As one of the most prominent award cer-

emonies in the world, the Academy Award cere-

mony is televised live in more than 100 countries

annually. Most recently, the Myanmar Motion

Picture Academy Award ceremony for the year

2012 had successfully concluded. The academy

awards were chosen from the lms out of 17

that were shown in a year. This year saw only

nine academy awards against 11 that are nor-

mally given.

Altogether nine statuettes were awarded,

honoring artists, directors and other personali-

ties of the lmmaking industry for their excel-lent works during the year 2012. It is encourag-

ing to see this year that a child actor won the

Academy Award as a special award. But we are

deeply touched by the fact that there were no

movies in 2012 that won the Academy Award.

And it can be concluded that there were no mov-

ies that met the standard set by the award scru-

tiny and choosing committee.

In his address at the ceremony, Union Min-

ister for Information U Aung Kyi said that mo-

tion picture is recognized worldwide as a high-

value creative industry in knowledge economy.

Creative industry is different from conventional

one. Whereas the latter manufactures conven-

tional products with substantial capital, ma-chinery and labor, the former has its essence in

individual creativity, skill and talent founded

upon innovation and cultural knowledge, and

urged those in the rm world to equip them-

selves with unlimited resources of intellectual

creativity and skill, insight and inspiration.

Nowadays, with TV set, VCD, DVD and oth-

er communication devices, lm production has

been on the decrease alongside movies goers.

This has resulted in a decrease in quality mov-

ies whose scripts are of lower quality. Most of

directors are focusing on the producing of com-

edies usually with a happy ending that are nor-

mally economical. Therefore, it is compulsory to

produce a number of quality lms, of which theAcademy Award winning lms can be chosen.

And only then, will the Academy Award be con-

sidered worthy of praise.

Israel frees Palestinian prisoners,

pushes settlement planJERUSALEM, 31 Dec

Israel set free 26 Palestinian

prisoners on Tuesday as

part of US-brokered peace

efforts, after pledging to

press ahead with plans to

build more homes in Jewish

settlements.

US Secretary of State

John Kerry, whose shuttlediplomacy led to a resump-

tion of the negotiations in

July after a three-year break,

was due to return on Thurs-

day to seek a framework

agreement in talks that have

shown few signs of progress.

Israel agreed to release

104 long-serving Palestin-

ian prisoners the latest

group is the third of four

to go free as part of the

US-led efforts that coaxed

Palestinian President Mah-

moud Abbas back to the

negotiations after a three-

year break.

In tandem with the

prisoner releases in the

West Bank and Gaza Strip,Israel has announced new

construction in settlements

in occupied territory Pales-

tinians seek for a state.

Most of the 26 inmates

going free were convicted of

killing Israelis and almost all

were jailed before the rst

Israeli-Palestinian interim

peace deals were signed 20

years ago.

Palestinians have jubi-

lantly welcomed the return

home of brethren they regard

as national heroes. The fam-

ilies of Israelis they killed or

injured have voiced anger

and mounted unsuccessful

court challenges against

their release.Last week, an Israeli

ofcial said Prime Minister

Benjamin Netanyahus gov-

ernment which includes

pro-settlement parties

would announce plans after

the latest release to build

1,400 more homes for set-

tlers in the West Bank.

Kinshasa, dozens killedKINSHASA, 31 Dec

Congolese troops killeddozens of armed youthswho attacked the airport, a

television headquarters in thecapital Kinshasa on Monday

in incidents claimed by adisgruntled religious leader.

Before transmission

was shut down at state tele-vision, the attackers shoutedslogans in favour of pastor

Paul Joseph Mukungubilaand against President JosephKabila.

The pastor, who callshimself a prophet and onceran for president in 2006,

later told the BBC that theattacks were in responseto government harassment

of his supporters. Its thefth time the brothers were

attacked; they decided toshow what they are capableof, he said late on Monday.

Several corpses layon the rain-soaked groundoutside the brightly painted

gates of the state televisioncenter after the attack, a

Reuters witness said. The

broadcaster reported that

security forces had killed 46

of the attackers, while gov-ernment ofcials said about20 more had been arrested.

Shortly after the clashes,

soldiers in the eastern miningprovince of Katanga attacked

a church run by Mukungu-bila, who has railed againstKabilas decision to make

peace with Tutsi rebels ineastern Congo, saying thepresident was under the

inuence of Rwanda.

Witnesses said the ght-ing in the regional capitalLubumbashi quickly sub-

sided. Security forces found

arms and ammunition in thechurch, sources toldReuters.

We have total controlof the situation, said gov-ernment spokesman Lambert

Dutch fireworksnuisance

hotline receivesover 42,000complaintsTHE HAGUE, 31 Dec

The Dutch reworks nui-

sance hotline received over42,000 complaints and sev-eral people were hurt in acci-

dents with reworks, Dutchmedia reported on Monday.

Regional fractions of theDutch political party Groen-links set out the initiative for

the hotline. The party wantsto map the size of reworksnuisance and also pleads for

a reworks restriction, but amajority of the Dutch parlia-ment is against a restriction.

In the Netherlands, itis legal to buy reworksfor four days prior to the

New Year celebrations.Fireworks can be set offbetween 10 am (0900GMT)

on 31 December and 2 am(0100 GMT) on 1 January,2014, with those who break

the rules facing a ne of 100euros (1.379 US dollars).

We would only like to

see reworks during profes-sional reworks shows. This

is what happens in many oth-er countries. It would give allthe benets of the reworks,

but with minimal disadvan-tages, the organizers stated

on their website.Xinhua

More earthquakes recorded inGroningen due to gas extraction

THE HAGUE, 31 Dec

Gas extraction in Groningen

in 2013 caused a record num-

ber of earthquakes, Dutch

national broadcaster NOS

reported on Monday.

This year a total of 127

earthquakes were measured,

compared to 80 quakes in

2012. This coincides with

a signicant increase in gas

production. The Dutch Pe-

troleum Company (NAM)collected 52 billion cubic

metres of gas from the ground

in 2013, 10 percent more than

last year.

Experts expect a new

earth quake record in 2014.

In January this year the State

Supervision of Mines (SSM)

reported that increased gas

production since 2000 of

about 20 up to 50 billion

cubic metres per year has

not only led to a rise in the

number of earthquakes but

also to an increased risk of

severe earthquakes.

The heaviest earthquakein recent years in Groningen

was on 16 August, 2012, near

Huizinge, with a magnitude

of 3.6 on the scale of Richter.

The study of SSM

showed that the number of

earthquakes is not expected

to decrease in the short term.

Only with a very drastically

reduction of the gas or even

a stop, it is expected after

several years virtually no

perceptible earthquakes

will occur in the Groningen

gas eld.

According to the NOS,

the Dutch government maytake a decision on a possible

reduction of getting gas in

Groningen next month.

Cambodia aims to adopt law on

access to information in 3 yearsPHNOM PENH, 31 Dec

The Cambodian govern-

ment said on Monday that alaw on access to informa-tion will be adopted in three

years.Information Minister

Khieu Kanharith said at aneditors forum organizedby the Club of Cambodian

Journalists in Phnom Penhthat the law on access toinformation will be adopted

by the end of 2016 or early2017.

The law is important as

it will help provide infor-mation of all sources fromthe government to citizens,

particularly through jour-nalists, he said.

When asked why it willtake up to three years to

have the law adopted, Kh-ieu Kanharith said it needsto be fully explained to all

parties concerned so thatthey better know the signi-

cance of this law for goodgovernance.

Cambodia has spent

more than a decade work-ing on this draft law. Theformation of a new gov-

ernment in July committedto reforming all the gov-ernments bodies in depth

including the media sectorfor wider access to infor-

mation has spurred momen-tum.

Cambodia adopted a

press law in 1995 but jour-nalists and citizens say it is

not enough.About 100 editors from

both print and electronic

media attended the one-dayforum. The Club of Cam-bodian Journalists is the

Japan to support road network expansion in AsiaMUMBAI, 31 Dec

The Japanese government

is planning to help im-prove transport connectiv-

ity in South and SoutheastAsia by renovating exist-ing roads and building new

ones, sources familiar withthe matter said on Monday.

The infrastructure sup-

port, aimed at strengthen-ing economic ties withinthe regions including India

and Myanmar, comes in re-sponse to Chinese-led pro-jects to link southern China

and South Asia by road andrail.

The Japan Internation-

al Cooperation Agency will

be responsible for drawing

up plans for nancing andconstruction. It will inviteofcials from Bangladesh,

Bhutan, India, Myanmar,Nepal and Thailand to NewDelhi in mid-January to

brief them on site surveys,the sources said.

Japan expects to con-

rm with India the plan toproceed with road-buildingprojects in January when

Prime Minister Shinzo Abevisits the country, they said.

The Japanese projects

are expected to improveroad connectivity between

Bangladesh, India, Myan-

mar and Thailand while

giving Bhutan and Nepalbetter access to coastal ar-

eas. Aging road infrastruc-ture and constraints on

network capacity and ef-ciency have become bar-riers to trade between the

countries.The economies of

Bangladesh, India and My-

anmar, for instance, wouldbenet from new roads inareas where land transport

infrastructure is underde-veloped or inefcient.

Japanese companies

operating in the regions arealso likely to prot frombetter land transport con-

nectivity, which would im-

prove their supply chains.

But such infrastructuredevelopment may not im-mediately lead to improved

trade between countrieswhere diplomatic issuesneed to be resolved rst.

Myanmar due to diplomaticconstraints.Kyodo News
