Sri Lanka's Cabinet on Monday approved the proposal presented by the Minister of Justice, Prison Affairs and Constitutional Reforms, to publish the bill in the Government Gazette. The bill was published in a gazette notification issued by the minister on June 29 and now it will be presented to Parliament for approval, the Colombo Page reported. The new legislation sets out a broad definition of the issues to be considered and met in the appointment of the President, the powers of the Prime Minister and the nature of the post, the new commissions and how the Cabinet will be collectively accountable. The 22nd Amendment was originally named 21A and meant to replace the 20A. The amendment was formulated amid the ongoing economic crisis in the country which also caused a political crisis. The amendment will be called 22nd as another draft 21st Amendment has already been gazetted. Sri Lanka is facing the worst economic crisis since independence in 1948 which has led to an acute shortage of essential items like food, medicine, cooking gas and fuel across the country. The street protests have been triggered across the country over the poor handling of the economic crisis and the lack of accountability to it. Protesters are demanding the resignation of president Gotabaya Rajapaksa. After the resignation of his brother Mahinda Rajapaksa as the prime minister to pave the way for a consensus government of all parties, President Gotabya Rajapaksa pledged to introduce the 21st Amendment to the Constitution. The 20A adopted in 2020 had given unfettered powers to President Rajapaksa after abolishing the 19th Amendment. The 21st Amendment proposed by the main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) party was struck down by Sri Lanka's Supreme Court which ordered a national referendum for it to become a law. With that, the amendment became a non-starter. The powerful Rajapaksa family tightened their grip on power after their massive victory in the general elections in August 2020, which allowed them to amend the Constitution to restore presidential powers and install close family members in key positions. Current Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was the main sponsor of the 19th Amendment in 2015 which empowered Parliament over the executive president. The constitutional reform was a major plank of the agreement between Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe when he took over the job of prime minister on May 12.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka's,Parliament,Rajapaksa,Prison Affairs,Cabinet,The 22nd Amendment,21st Amendment,Sri Lanka,Gotabaya Rajapaksa.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp,Mahinda Rajapaksa","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-30T15:30:07.194201+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"3PC0O6OQcjnN","slug":"english/germany-plans-to-ease-rules-for-formal-changes-of-gender","title":"Germany plans to ease rules for formal changes of gender","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Germany_Transgender_Rights_99912_NNeTS2TAL.jpg","coverCaption":"Lisa Paus, Federal Minister of Family Affairs, and Marco Buschmann, Federal Minister of Justice, present the key points paper on the Self-Determination Act at the Federal Press Conference in Berlin, Germany, Thursday, June 30, 2022.

Just one in five trains are expected to run on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday when workers are on strike, with services across England, Wales and Scotland being affected from Monday evening. Passengers have been urged to travel by train only if necessary. Too high demands on pay will also make it incredibly difficult to bring to an end the current challenges facing families around the world with rising costs of living, said Johnson, ahead of a Cabinet meeting at Downing Street. Now is the time to come to a sensible compromise for the good of the British people and the rail workforce, he said. Thousands of staff at public-owned Network Rail and 13 rail operators walked out from midnight after last-ditch talks to avoid the strikes failed on Monday. The RMT rail union accused the government of preventing rail network employers from freely negotiating on pay. The union is reportedly asking for a pay rise of 7 per cent, which is lower than inflation but higher than that offered by employers. It is clear that the Tory government, after slashing GBP 4 billion of funding from National Rail and Transport for London, has now actively prevented a settlement to this dispute,” said RMT union’s general secretary Mick Lynch. “The rail companies have now proposed pay rates that are massively under the relevant rates of inflation, coming on top of the pay freezes of the past few years. At the behest of the government, companies are also seeking to implement thousands of job cuts and have failed to give any guarantee against compulsory redundancies, he said. Network Rail CEO Andrew Haines said the government is not the “constraining factor in negotiations, amid reports that the unions had rejected a 3 per cent pay rise offer. In a separate row involving London's Tube network, London Underground network workers are also on strike on Tuesday over job cuts and change to their pensions.

Sri Lanka is currently facing its worst economic crisis since independence from Britain in 1948. The economic crisis has prompted an acute shortage of essential items like food, medicine, cooking gas and other fuel, toilet paper, and even matches, with Sri Lankans being forced to wait in lines lasting hours outside stores to buy fuel and cooking gas. The country is experiencing long queues for refuelling at pumping stations as the government finds it difficult to finance fuel imports to retain a reserve adequate for a minimum of three months. A move to ration fuel is to be implemented from next month as the forex crisis gets worsened. The nearly bankrupt country, with an acute foreign currency crisis that resulted in foreign debt default, announced in April that it is suspending nearly USD 7 billion foreign debt repayment due for this year out of about USD 25 billion due through 2026.

The estimates showed that defence expenses were the second biggest component of the annual expenditure after the debt payments. The total current expenditure for the next year would be Rs 8,694 billion, which is 15.5 per cent higher than last year's budgeted figure. According to the budget documents, the government has committed Rs 1,523 billion for the defence of the country, higher than last year’s Rs 1,370 billion, which was later on revised to Rs 1,450 billion on the demand of the ministry of defence. The powerful Pakistan Army, which has ruled the coup-prone country for more than half of its nearly 75 years of existence, has hitherto wielded considerable power in the matters of security and foreign policy. Former prime minister Imran Khan, who was ousted from power in April through a no-trust vote, had apparently lost support of the Army after he refused to endorse the appointment of the ISI spy agency chief last year. This year’s defence allocation of Rs 1,523 is 11.16 per cent higher than last year’s allocation of Rs 1,370 billion. Defence spending often comes under scrutiny at the time of the announcement of the annual budget when allocations for various sectors are earmarked. The defence expenditure makes up 17.5 per cent of the total current expenditure but it appeared as one liner in the budget as the government maintained the tradition of keeping the details of defence expenditure under the wraps. The budget showed that debt servicing has risen to 29.1 per cent of the budget, making it the single largest expenditure and accounting for 45.4 per cent of the current expenditure. Finance Minister Ismail announced that the government has set the target of 5 per cent growth for the next fiscal year against the 5.9 per cent achieved against 4.8 per cent original target of the outgoing year. It was announced that the budget deficit was 8.6 per cent of the GDP but the government committed to reduce it to 4.8 per cent of GDP. Inflation would be reduced to 11.5 per cent, while tax to GDP ratio would be increased from 8.6 per cent to 9.6 per cent. The minister said that tax revenue has been estimated at Rs 7,004 billion for the next fiscal year. The target for imports is USD 70 billion while that of exports is USD 35 billion. The government also hoped to receive over USD 33.2 billion of remittances against USD 31 billion received this year. The government also announced to provide Rs 2,000 monthly support money to 80 million highly-vulnerable people across the country. It also allocated Rs 51 billion for higher education in the country and Rs 24 billion for health. Earlier, the special Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved the budget. The Cabinet, among other last minute measures, decided a 15 per cent increase in salaries of government employees, while five per cent increase in pensions. “The Prime Minister has rejected the Finance Ministry’s proposal of a 10 per cent increase (in salaries) and has approved an increase in government employees’ salaries of 15 per cent with the consent of the Cabinet,” information minister Marriyum Aurangzeb tweeted. The increase will put an additional burden of Rs 71 billion on the government. The minister also highlighted the problem faced by the country. The problem of our economy is that growth is 3-4 per cent, but when it moves up to 5-6 per cent, our current account deficit goes out of control, because we give priority to the elite, which increases our imports. “We need to adopt new thinking, to facilitate the lower-income section to increase domestic production, the minister said.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Cabinet,Pakistan,Finance,Miftah

The prices of liquor, including those of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and beer on an average are 30 to 40 per cent higher in Punjab compared to the prices in Chandigarh and Haryana. The prices of liquor shall now be almost on par with the neighbouring states, said the spokesperson. According to the new excise police, no quota has been fixed for lifting IMFL and beer by the retail licensees. However, the quota for the Punjab Medium Liquor (PML) remained what it was last year, said an official of the excise department. The new excise policy stipulates to tap the actual potential of liquor trade by allotting 177 groups through a free, fair and transparent manner of e-tendering. Earlier, liquor vends were allotted on the basis of draw of lots. The general size of the group shall be around Rs 30 crore and there shall be 6,378 vends in the state, said the spokesperson. The excise duty on all kinds of liquor except PML shall be charged at the rate of one per cent of the wholesale price. On the same pattern, the assessed fee shall also be charged at the rate of one per cent of the wholesale price, said the spokesperson. To encourage capital investment and to increase the employment capability in the state, a provision for new distillery licence and brewery licence has been made in the policy. Further, a new licence for the production of malt spirit has been introduced in the state. This has been done to encourage crop diversification and provide better remuneration to the farmers, said the spokesperson.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Cabinet,Punjab,Haryana,AAP,Delhi,Chandigarh,Jun 8,Bhagwant Mann,BJP,Manjinder Singh Sirsa","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-08T16:39:05.713136+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"mPT7r5TOZ3g1","slug":"english/germany-to-keep-more-coal-plants-on-hand-in-case-of-gas-cuts","title":"Germany to keep more coal plants on hand in case of gas cuts","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-08T13:06:10.352228+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1654693569.457864, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"BERLIN (AP) — The German government wants to temporarily keep additional coal-fired power plants on stand-by for almost two years to stave off a possible electricity shortage in case natural gas supplies from Russia are suddenly reduced, officials said Wednesday.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Germany is trying to wean itself off Russian gas due to the war in Ukraine, and expects to finish doing so in 2024.

Conservative lawmakers voted 211-148 to keep Johnson as leader Monday following revelations that he and his staff held Downing Street parties that broke Britain's COVID-19 lockdown rules. But the scale of the revolt was considered more damaging than expected.Although the leadership rules give Johnson a year’s respite from another such vote, he faces other risks.Party rebels could change the rules to force an early vote; he could be seen as a political liability if Conservatives lose special elections this month; he could be forced out if an ethics committee finds he lied to Parliament over the “partygate” scandal; or he could simply get fed up and quit.That would trigger a leadership contest to choose his replacement. While there is no single front-runner, here is a look at some possible contenders:___LIZ TRUSS, FOREIGN SECRETARYTruss, 46, took on the high-profile Cabinet post in September after serving as trade minister. She has been gaining momentum as a contender since then and has made no secret of her ambitions.As Britain's chief diplomat in the Ukraine crisis, Truss got a frosty reception from her Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, prior to Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion. She is also the U.K.’s lead negotiator with the European Union on lingering issues following Britain’s exit from the bloc. Once a campaigner for remaining in the EU, Truss has become a Brexit champion. Her former role as international trade secretary saw her signing post-Brexit deals around the world and channeling Johnson’s ambitions for “Global Britain.”Truss is popular with many Conservatives, who see echoes of the party’s first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, in the the free-market-loving politician. Truss' supporters have coined the slogan, “In Liz We Truss.”___RISHI SUNAK, TREASURY CHIEFUntil recently, Sunak was widely regarded as the party's brightest rising star, the best-known of the contenders — and the bookies’ favorite to succeed Johnson.Sunak, 42, was thrust into the spotlight when he became treasury chief in 2020, tasked with the unenviable job of steering the economy through its worst economic slump on record because of the pandemic. He dished out billions of pounds in emergency spending to help businesses and workers, and his policies have generally been seen in a positive light.But “partygate” changed those fortunes. Like Johnson, he was issued a police fine for attending a lockdown-flouting birthday party at Downing Street in June 2020. He also came under heavy criticism for being slow to respond to Britain's severe cost-of-living crisis. Sunak also faced pressure following revelations that his wife, Akshata Murthy, avoided paying U.K. taxes on her overseas income, and that the former investment banker held on to his U.S. green card while serving in government. If he succeeds, he would be Britain’s first prime minister of color. Born to Indian parents who moved to the U.K. from East Africa, Sunak attended the exclusive Winchester College private school and studied at Oxford. Some see his elite education and past work for the investment bank Goldman Sachs and a hedge fund as a deficit because he seems out of touch with ordinary voters.___JEREMY HUNT, FORMER CABINET MINISTERHunt, a former health secretary and foreign secretary, ran against Johnson in the 2019 leadership race, billing himself as the more serious candidate. He lost heavily, and was dumped from the Cabinet when Johnson took over.He has openly said he wouldn't back Johnson, warning that keeping him in power would wreck the party’s chances in the next general election.He is widely expected to make a new bid for the party leadership. In a January interview, the 55-year-old was quoted as saying that his ambition to lead the country hasn't “completely vanished.”Hunt has remained a lawmaker, and kept himself in the public eye by grilling ministers and experts as head of Parliament's Health and Social Care Select Committee.As a critic of the government’s response to the pandemic, he may appeal to those seeking a change from Johnson, although some look on him unfavorably for implementing unpopular policies as health secretary.___BEN WALLACE, DEFENSE SECRETARYWallace has won admirers for his straight talk, particularly among Conservative lawmakers who pressed for the U.K. to increase its defense spending.A 52-year-old army veteran, Wallace has raised his profile considerably as a key government voice in Britain’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. ___TOM TUGENDHAT, COMMONS FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE CHAIRTugendhat, 48, is a non-Cabinet Conservative being mentioned as a possible leadership contender. Although he has no ministerial experience, Tugendhat reportedly is favored by some in the party as a good choice for a new start. An opponent of the 2016 Brexit referendum, the former soldier has been a trenchant critic of Johnson. He is also among a group of key Conservatives urging the U.K. to take a tougher stance on China. ___NADHIM ZAHAWI, EDUCATION SECRETARYZahawi, 55, came to prominence as vaccines minister during the pandemic and was credited with playing a key part in the successful rollout of the COVID-19 shot.A co-founder of the market research firm YouGov, Zahawi was elected as lawmaker in 2010. He was born in Iraq to a Kurdish family and came to the U.K. as a child when his parents fled Iraq under Saddam Hussein's rule.He is seen by some as a safe choice if other candidates such as Truss prove too divisive.___SAJID JAVID, HEALTH SECRETARYJavid, 52, has been health secretary since June 2021, leading Britain’s COVID-19 response. Before that, he served as treasury chief, but resigned in early 2020 after clashing with Johnson over his order to fire his team of advisers.The fact that Johnson brought him back into the government to handle the coronavirus response reflects his reputation for competence.The son of Pakistani immigrants, Javid has billed himself as a common-man alternative to his private school-educated rivals — although he had a lucrative career in investment banking before entering politics.___MICHAEL GOVE, LEVELING UP SECRETARYGove, a party heavyweight, has held many key Cabinet posts and currently is in charge of delivering on the government’s promise to “level up” Britain — to address inequality by increasing opportunities in deprived areas.Gove, 54, played a key role in the Brexit campaign and is widely respected in the party, but is not completely trusted. In the 2016 Conservative leadership campaign, he backed Johnson for leader before deciding to run himself — a betrayal that many Conservatives haven't forgotten.___PENNY MORDAUNT, TRADE MINISTERMordaunt, 49, has emerged as a surprise potential contender, with supporters saying she could help heal the party's divisions.Mordaunt played a prominent role in the pro-Brexit campaign and had backed Hunt in the 2019 leadership contest. She was removed as defense secretary as soon as Johnson became prime minister.She has since returned to government as international trade minister and is popular among Conservative lawmakers.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"51.5085","longitude":"-0.1257","name":"London,United

The Budget session of the state Assembly will be held from June 24 to 30, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said in a tweet. Congratulations to all Punjabis! The Budget prepared with the suggestions of common people will be presented for the first time in Punjab's history, he tweeted. Earlier, the AAP government had sought suggestions from the general public while calling it a Janta Budget. The Punjab Cabinet while approving the summoning of the Budget session of the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha from June 24, recommended the same to Governor Banwari Lal Purohit, who is authorised to officially summon the state legislature as per Article 174 (1) of the Constitution. The finance minister will present the Budget for 2022-23 on June 27 and general discussion on it will take place thereafter, said an official release here. The audit report of Comptroller and Auditor General of India for 2018-19 and 2019-20, along with financial and appropriation accounts for 2019-20 and 2020-21, will also be tabled during the session. The Cabinet also gave a nod for giving a minimum support price of Rs 7,275 per quintal for moong (green gram) by Markfed, a state nodal agency for the purchase of the crop. It was also decided to provide viability gap funding to the agency at the rate of Rs 1,875 per quintal amounting to nearly Rs 66.56 crore, said the release. During the current season, moong has been sown over about 95,000 acres with an expected yield of five quintals per acre. This will help in sowing short duration varieties of paddy, which is expected to save 10-20 per cent of underground water, thereby, conserving the natural resources. The state Cabinet also approved the introduction of the Punjab Rural Development (Amendment) Bill-2022 in the Vidhan Sabha. With its enactment, the rural development fund (RDF) shall be spent on various works, including construction or repair of approach roads to mandis and procurement centres, setting up of new mandis or procurement centres and augmenting storage facilities in mandis etc. The Cabinet also decided to waive stamp duty being levied on executing the loan or hypothecation agreement up to Rs 50,000 for the street vendors in the state under PM SVANidhi Scheme. The decision was taken to provide succor to street vendors badly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The state government decided to waive Rs 127 levied on a loan agreement up to Rs 50,000 for street vendors. The Cabinet also gave nod for amending The Punjab State Legislature Members (Pension and Medical Facilities Regulation) Act, 1977 to give MLAs of Punjab Vidhan Sabha one pension irrespective of the number of terms served.

Lawrence will continue as the Minister for Finance, and assume responsibility for the Strategy Group within the Prime Minister's Office, taking over this role from the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Heng Swee Keat who had stepped aside as leader of the 4G team last April, citing his age as the reason. The Strategy Group oversees key priorities and issues facing Singapore over the medium to long terms, such as population and climate change. Lawrence will be the Acting Prime Minister in the absence of premier Lee. Heng, 61, will remain as the Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, overseeing the Future Economy Council as well as assisting Prime Minister Lee in overseeing the National Research Foundation and Productivity Fund Administration Board. The next generation leadership is taking shape.

We took another important step towards leadership renewal today, with the appointment of Lawrence Wong as DPM. Lawrence has our fullest support. I will give my all to help him succeed while serving alongside him as DPM and as Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, Heng wrote in a Facebook post. The Cabinet reshuffle moves Singapore's leadership transition process further along after it hit a snag when Heng stepped aside as the leader of the 4G team in April last year. The Cabinet has traditionally had two Deputy Prime Ministers (DPM) since the 1980s, with the exception of a short period in the 1990s when Prime Minister Lee was the only DPM on board, and since May 2019, when Heng was the only person holding the post. Besides Lawrence's promotion, eight officeholders will be promoted or given new portfolios and responsibilities, reported The Straits Times newspaper. The latest reshuffle comes a year after seven fourth-generation ministers were given new roles in a major rejig in May 2021. At that time, Lawrence was given the key finance portfolio. In April this year, Premier Lee announced that Lawrence had been selected as leader of the 4G team by his peers and that Cabinet ministers had affirmed the choice. The decision was then endorsed by all PAP MPs in a party caucus.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Singapore,Lawrence,Cabinet,Lee,Heng,Lawrence
