Nation to NationLiberal MP Robert-Falcon Ouellette says he does not believe the government has to follow the Supreme Court’s decision on medically assisted dying.Ouellette, an opponent to his government’s legislation, talked about the issues on APTN’s Nation to Nation.“Well, they’ve made a change. But at the same time it doesn’t mean that we have to always accept what the Supreme Court tells us.”Ouellette has been vocally opposed to Bill C-14 Medical Assistance in Dying despite his party having introduced it.He said he’s worried that the Supreme Court isn’t attuned to the issues impacting all Canadians.“The Supreme Court lives in its own bubble, its own world, and then there’s the rest of us in society,” said Ouellette.“I respect the Supreme Court, but then at the same time as someone who comes from communities that are affected by this, as someone who thought about suicide at a very young age, this is important to me,” said Ouellette.He doesn’t believe the Supreme Court is capable of accounting for these sorts of issues, as he said they’re part of the “one per cent” and “come from a specific tradition and perspective”“The criminal justice system, with lady justice, is supposed to be blind. Well, she’s blind. She’s blind to the suffering of her fellow Canadians,” said Ouellette.Ouellette is concerned that an available option of medically assisted death would have a domino effect in Indigenous communities already suffering from suicide epidemics.He points to the series of suicides in Attawapiskat as evidence of this phenomenon.“My fear is if a young person you know, they can set off that chain reaction, what would happen if an elder who everyone in the community respected decided to avail themselves of this option,” said Ouellette.NDP MP Charlie Angus, whose riding includes Attawapiskat, does not share Ouellette’s concern.“No, we don’t get to ignore the Supreme Court. And no, we don’t get to tell the Supreme Court we don’t like it. We have to deal with it,” he said. “I find it also very unfortunate that he invokes the names of young people who’ve died in some of the communities that I represent. These children didn’t die because of what’s happening in Parliament,” said Angus.Conservative MP Cathy McLeod echoed Angus.“In terms of him feeling that it would conflate with what is happening in Attawapiskat, I don’t see how it can do that,” said McLeod. “They’re trying to craft legislation that is very careful, that’s very protective and that really puts language around what is eligible in terms of very, very strict medical criteria,” she said.Still, Ouellette holds firm in his position.“I think they’ve made a terrible ruling,” said Ouellette.“We pretend we know everything, we can pretend we can try and plan out the future, but we have to be very considerate when we are making laws because the impact can be very profound on certain groups,” he said.n2n@aptn.ca@aptnn2n
New Delhi: Indian boxing star M C Mary Kom says her decision to skip the Asian Championships is part of a larger plan to enhance her chances of Olympic qualification at a time when the competition in her weight category has become significantly “difficult”. Mary Kom, who claimed her sixth world title last year in Delhi, will be looking to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the World Championships in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The Asian Championship is scheduled to be held next month in Thailand. Also Read – Andy Murray to make Grand Slam return at Australian Open “This year is very important for me. Qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics is my main aim. Without competing in any competition I cannot qualify for the Olympics. It would be difficult. I have to know all the opponents in my category (51kg) and judge how strong they are compared to me,” Mary Kom, who has signed up with the sports goods manufacturing giant ‘PUMA’, told PTI here. “I have to first compete in the India Open and then slowly choose my tournaments in the 51kg category. I am looking to qualify for the Olympics at the Worlds and that is why I have decided to skip the Asian Championships to prepare myself best for the Worlds.

So I have decided to choose some important tournaments to qualify for the Olympics,” added the 2012 London Olympics bronze-medallist, The 2019 AIBA World Boxing Championships will be held from September 7 to 21. Mary Kom would be competing in the 51kg category after her preferred 48kg divisions did not make the Olympic programme. The Manipuri had competed in the 51kg category in Germany during a training stint earlier this month and came back undefeated. “I have already been competing in the 51kg category in the last one year. I now know the areas where I will have to work upon but fitness wise there are no issues. I just have to work upon my strength, power and stamina,” she said. Asked about her plans after she decides to hang her gloves, the 36-year-old mother of three said she wants to give back to the sport which made her a household name. “That is something which was always in my plans. But right now I am concentrating on my upcoming competitions. I have my own academy in Manipur. I have that passion for full-time coaching after retirement,” she said. “If the Boxing Federation of India or the government need my services in improving the standards of Indian women’s boxing, I am always there.”

Sunday 9 Apr 2017, 7:31 PM http://jrnl.ie/3331302 People gather at the blast site in Alexandria, Egypt Source: SIPA USA/PA ImagesUpdated 19.31THE ISLAMIC STATE group has claimed responsibility for bombing two Egyptian churches as worshippers gathered to mark Palm Sunday, killing at least 44 people in the deadliest attacks on the Coptic Christian minority in recent memory.The attacks followed a Cairo church bombing in December and came weeks ahead of a planned visit by Catholic Pope Francis intended to show support for the country’s Christian minority.The first bombing struck the Mar Girgis church in the city of Tanta north of Cairo, killing 27 people, the health ministry said.“I just felt fire grabbing my face. I pushed my brother who was sitting next to me and then I heard people saying: ‘explosion’,” one of the wounded told state television.Emergency services had scrambled to the scene when another bombing rocked the Saint Mark’s church in Alexandria where Coptic Pope Tawadros II had been leading a Palm Sunday service.Seventeen people including at least four police officers were killed in that attack, which the interior ministry said was caused by a suicide bomber who blew himself up when prevented from entering the church.The ministry said Tawadros was unharmed, and a church official said he had left the church before the bombing. The scene outside the church in Tanta. Source: AP/PA ImagesThe private CBC Extra channel aired footage of the Alexandria blast, with CCTV showing what appeared to be the church entrance engulfed in flame and flying concrete moments after a guard turned away a man.Eyewitnesses said a police officer detected the bomber before he blew himself up.At least 78 people were wounded in Tanta and another 40 wounded in Alexandria, the health ministry said.A UN Security Council statement condemned the bombings as “heinous” and “cowardly”.Egyptian officials denounced the violence as an attempt to sow divisions in the country, while Francis sent his “deep condolences” to Tawadros.Egyptian officials denounced the violence as an attempt to sow divisions, and Francis sent his “deep condolences” to Tawadros.IS claimed two Egyptian suicide bombers carried out both attacks and threatened further attacks in a statement published on social media. Relatives and onlookers gather outside the church in Tanta. Source: AP/PA ImagesAfter the bombings, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered military deployments to guard “vital and important infrastructure”, his office said.State television reported that the interior minister sacked the provincial head of security and replaced him after the attack.On March 29, the Mar Girgis church’s Facebook page said a “suspicious” device had been found outside the building that security services removed.“I heard the blast and came running. I found people torn up… some people, only half of their bodies remained,” Nabil Nader, who lives in front of the Tanta church, said Sunday.Worshippers had been celebrating Palm Sunday, one of the holiest days in the Christian calendar, marking Jesus’s triumphant entrance to Jerusalem.Pope prays for victimsPope Francis, who is due in Cairo on 28 April, offered prayers for the victims.“Let us pray for the victims of the attack unfortunately carried out today,” he said.May the Lord convert the heart of those who sow terror, violence and death and also the heart of those who make weapons and trade in them.Copts, who make up about one tenth of Egypt’s population of more than 92 million and who celebrate Easter next weekend, have been targeted by several attacks in recent months.Jihadists and Islamists accuse Copts of supporting the military overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, which ushered in a deadly crackdown on his supporters.In December, a suicide bombing claimed by IS killed 29 worshippers in a Cairo church.The group later released a video threatening Egypt’s Christians with more attacks.A spate of jihadist-linked attacks in the restive Sinai Peninsula, including the murder of a Copt in the city of El Arish, led some Coptic families to flee.About 250 Christians took refuge in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya after IS in February called for attacks on the minority.US President Donald Trump led international condemnation of today’s attacks.“So sad to hear of the terrorist attack in Egypt. US strongly condemns. I have great confidence that President Al Sisi will handle situation properly,” he tweeted.String of attacksEgyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail stressed the authorities’ determination to “eliminate terrorism”.The Cairo-based Al-Azhar, an influential Sunni Muslim authority, said the attacks aimed to “destabilise security and… the unity of Egyptians”.Egypt’s Copts have endured successive attacks since Morsi’s ousting in July 2013.More than 40 churches were targeted nationwide in the two weeks after the deadly dispersal by security forces of two pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo on August 14 that year, Human Rights Watch said.Sisi, who as then army chief helped remove Morsi, has defended his security forces and accused jihadists of attacking Copts in order to divide the country.In October 2011, almost 30 people – mostly Coptic Christians – were killed outside the state television building in Cairo after the army charged at protesters denouncing the torching of a church in southern Egypt.A few months earlier, the unclaimed New Year’s Day bombing of a Coptic church killed more than 20 people in second city Alexandria.© – AFP, 2017Read: Bars and restaurants evacuated after Norwegian police find bomb near subway station Apr 9th 2017, 7:31 PM Tweet thisShare on FacebookEmail this article
Stay on target Are you one of the people who finished CD Projekt Red’s 100-hour RPG The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, mined every ounce of content from its DLC, and still wanted more? Have you already gone back and replayed the first two Witcher games because you just couldn’t stop being Geralt? Hell, maybe you even went back even further and read Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series. (At least, the ones that have been translated into English.) If you’re one of those people who just can’t get enough of Sapkowksi’s dark fantasy universe, Netflix has some good news.The streaming service has ordered a TV series based on Sapkowski’s series of novels that spawned a beloved RPG franchise. Details are fairly scarce at this point, but Sapkowski will be working on the show as a creative consultant. “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing,” he said in a press release. “I’m excited about our efforts together, as well as the team assembled to shepherd these characters to life.”With Sapkowski on board, it’s probable that the stories will make the transition to TV with its bleak, oppressive atmosphere intact. That’s part of what sets the Witcher series of games apart from other fantasy RPGs like, say, Skyrim. (Well, that and an engine held together by more than the code equivalent of duct tape and hope.) All three Witcher games feel like a living medieval world, with all the nasty and depressing elements that come with it. It’s a very Eastern European approach to fantasy that we don’t see much in popular culture. As dark as Game of Thrones can get, it really has nothing on the world of The Witcher.Not a ton is known about the series at this point. We don’t even know if it’ll be live action or CGI. It is being made by special effects company Platige Image S.A., who produced the cinematics for the Witcher games. Also, one of the directors on the show, Tomasz Bagiński, directed those in-game cinematics. So if you like the way the cutscenes looked in The Witcher III, good news: The TV show shouldn’t look too different. Bagiński isn’t the only promising name behind the series. Executive producers include Sean Daniel, who did those fun Mummy movies that starred Brendan Fraser, and Jason Brown, the guy behind Syfy’s excellent adaptation of The Expanse.The Witcher is currently in production, with no word on casting or when it will be released. I’m just excited that one of my favorite fantasy worlds from both video games and literature is coming to TV. We’ll be on the lookout for more news as the show gets further into production.

The Ridgefield School District was dinged by the Washington State Auditor’s Office for not having adequate cash receipting controls, according to a report from the office released Thursday.The auditor’s office reviewed controls over cash handling and receipting at three schools in the district, as each building collects money for school lunches, field trips, class fees and after school activities.The audit looked at the district from Sept. 1, 2013, through Aug. 31, 2016, and showed that a lack of internal controls and monitoring over transactions increased the risk that misappropriation or misuse of district resources could occur without being promptly detected, if detected at all. The district began strengthening controls during the 2015-2016 school year, and Superintendent Nathan McCann said it was an internal review from the district’s business services team that originally found some of the issues.The district notified the auditor’s office on Jan. 4 about a potential loss of public funds, as required by state law. The auditor’s office conducted a test to determine whether a loss relating to fee revenues occurred at one of the district’s buildings, and found that a lack of supporting documentation for participation in fee-related activities and other inadequate controls complicated the testing.According to the report, the auditor’s office developed an expectation of the maximum possible participation in fee-related activities at the school to come up with an estimate of expected revenue, and compared that to the actual amounts collected during the school years of 2015-2016, 2014-2015 and 2013-2014. The report identified variances where expected revenues exceeded collections by $1,731, $2,685 and $6,681, respectively.

Yalal: No official seems to be bothered when a pipeline of Mission Bhagirtha damaged and the water was leaking near main entrance of Sri Rama temple in Juntupalli on Sunday. The leaked water flowed through the hillocks like a small waterfall. The water reached Tandur-Kodangal Road. Local farmers were dismayed at the callous attitude of the officials toward the prestigious project.
