It was reported that the grace period on two international bond payments worth $100 million lapsed on Sunday night. In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia made bond payments due in May. But, the fact they had been blocked by Euroclear because of Western sanctions on Russia was not our problem. Several reports claimed that bondholders have not received the payments as the country has struggled to keep up on $40 billion of outstanding bonds since its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Also Read | G7 leaders discuss Putin's shirtless pics at Germany summit,Many sanctions have effectively cut the country off from the global financial system and rendered its assets untouchable to many investors. “Indeed, Russia likely already defaulted on some ruble denominated instruments owed to foreigners in the weeks just after the invasion, albeit having pulled their ratings, the ratings agencies were not able to call this a default,” Timothy Ash, senior emerging market sovereign strategist at Bluebay Asset Management said in a note Monday, according to CNBC. Around a half of Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves - some $300 billion - were earlier blocked. Our position is well known. Our reserves are blocked unlawfully and all attempts to use these reserves will also be unlawful and would amount to outright theft, Peskov said. As Russia's offensive in Ukraine entered its fifth month, the British government said Sunday that Britain, the United States, Japan and Canada would ban new imports of Russian gold. When asked if Russia would be able to re-direct its gold to Asia, Peskov said that the global precious metals market is quite large.

The advance tracked gains on Wall Street, where the market is headed for its first weekly gain after three weeks of punishing losses. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index added 1.2% to 26,491.97 and the Kospi in Seoul jumped 2.4% to 2,369.16. Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 2% to 21,707.92 and the Shanghai Composite index added 1% to 3,354.63. In Australia, the S\u0026P/ASX 200 gained 0.8% to 6,577.40. Shares also rose in India and Taiwan. U.S. and European futures also were higher. Market players are looking ahead to U.S. inflation data due next week. They appeared to shrug off preliminary data showing a slowing of factory activity in several countries including Japan. The manufacturing manager surveys of “several developed economies came in lower-than-expected in both the manufacturing and services sector, which points to a broad-based moderation in economic activities, Jun Rong Yeap of IG said in a commentary. A report Friday showed inflation in Japan remained at 2.1% in May, pushed higher by energy costs and a weaker currency. However, underlying core inflation, which excludes volatile costs for energy and fresh foods, remained at 0.8% and the central bank is unlikely to follow the example of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks in raising interest rates, analysts said. The Bank of Japan “isn’t convinced that this will be sustainable because wage growth remains soft and higher energy costs are weighing on corporate profits and consumer sentiment, Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said in a report.On Wall Street, trading was wobbly as investors focused on another round of testimony before Congress by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He told a House committee the Fed hopes to rein in the worst inflation in four decades without knocking the economy into a recession, but acknowledged “that path has gotten more and more challenging.”The S\u0026P 500 ended 1% higher at 3,795.73 after having been down as much as 0.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% to 30,677.36 and the Nasdaq gained 1.6% to 11,232.19.Smaller company stocks also gained ground. The Russell 2000 rose 1.3% to 1,711.67. Trading has been turbulent in recent weeks as investors try to determine whether a recession is looming. The benchmark S\u0026P 500 is currently in a bear market. That means it has dropped more than 20% from its most recent high, which was in January. The index has fallen for 10 of the last 11 weeks. On Thursday, Powell stressed: “I don’t think that a recession is inevitable.” He has said it's ”certainly a possibility and that the central bank is facing a more challenging task amid the war in Ukraine essentially pushing oil and other commodity prices even higher and making inflation even more pervasive.Powell spoke to Congress a week after the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by three quarters of a percentage point, its biggest hike in nearly three decades. Fed policymakers also forecast a more accelerated pace of rate hikes this year and next than they had predicted three months ago, with its key rate to reach 3.8% by the end of 2023. That would be its highest level in 15 years.The Labor Department reported Thursday that fewer Americans applied for jobless benefits last week, though it was slightly more than economists expected. The solid job market is a relatively bright point in an otherwise weakening economy, with consumer sentiment and retail sales showing increasing damage from inflation.As higher prices stretch pocketbooks, consumers are shifting spending from big ticket items like electronics to necessities. The pressure has been worsened by record-high gasoline prices that show no sign of abating.Big technology and health care companies did much of the heavy lifting. Microsoft rose 2.3% and Johnson \u0026 Johnson rose 2.2%. Energy stocks fell as the price of U.S. crude oil dropped 1.8%. Valero fell 7.6%.Early Friday, U.S. benchmark crude oil was up 36 cents at $104.63 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the basis for pricing for international trading, shed 9 cents to $106.55 per barrel. Bond yields fell significantly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 3.09% from 3.15% late Wednesday.The U.S. dollar fell to 134.73 Japanese yen from 134.94 yen. The euro rose to $1.0539 from $1.0524.","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":"13.754","longitude":"100.5014","name":"Bangkok,Thailand","city":"Bangkok"},"keywords":"Asian,U.S.,Fed,Japan,Congress,Powell,BANGKOK,Asia,Tokyo,Kospi","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-24T06:24:13.626033+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"Kj3C621Q1Yq2","slug":"english/us-pacific-admiral-ties-with-japan-key-to-regional-security","title":"US Pacific admiral: Ties with Japan key to regional security","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Japan_US_Military_35796_HshLoAi4V.jpg","coverCaption":"In this image made from a video, U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm.

The UN World Food Program says nearly nine of 10 families are skipping meals or otherwise skimping to stretch out their food, while 3 million are receiving emergency humanitarian aid.

Growing numbers of Sri Lankans are seeking passports to go overseas in search of work. Government workers have been given an extra day off for three months to allow them time to grow their own food. In short, people are suffering and desperate for things to improve. What is the government doing about it?,Wickremesinghe has ample experience. This latest is his sixth term as prime minister.

An Indian delegation was in the capital Colombo on Thursday for talks on more assistance, but Wickremesinghe warned against expecting India to keep Sri Lanka afloat for long. Sri Lanka pins last hopes on IMF, said Thursday's headline in the Colombo Times newspaper. The government is in negotiations with the IMF on a bailout plan and Wickremesinghe said Wednesday he expects to have a preliminary agreement with the IMF by late July.

Other governments like the US, Japan and Australia have provided a few hundred million dollars in extra support. Earlier this month, the United Nations began a worldwide public appeal for assistance. So far, projected funding barely scratches the surface of the $6 billion the country needs to stay afloat over the next six months. To counter Sri Lanka's fuel shortage, Wickremesinghe told The Associated Press in a recent interview that he would consider buying more steeply discounted oil from Russia to help tide the country through its crisis.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_wUOvSKrfq.jpg","role":2},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"6.9271","longitude":"79.8612","name":"Colombo, Sri Lanka","city":"Colombo"},"keywords":"Sri Lanka,India,Ranil Wickremesinghe,China,Sri Lankan,the International Monetary Fund,The UN World Food Program,Indian,Colombo,Wickremesinghe,Colombo Times,US,Japan,Australia,the United Nations","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-23T16:30:00+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"AbywDeCE5bxd","slug":"english/exec-returns-to-toyota-as-adviser-after-15-arrest-in-japan","title":"Exec returns to Toyota as adviser after '15 arrest in Japan","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Japan_Toyota_40140_Lx0XarnKe.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - Julie Hamp, a former highest ranking woman executive of Toyota Motor Corp., leaves Harajuku police station after being released, in Tokyo Wednesday, July 8, 2015.

Some experts said at the time that North Korea intended to deploy such weapons threatening key facilitates in South Korea, including U.S. military bases there. Later in April, Kim said North Korea could preemptively use its nuclear weapons if threatened, saying his nukes would “never be confined to the single mission of war deterrent” in situations where the North faces external threats to its “fundamental interests.” That portended a possible escalatory nuclear doctrine by North Korea that could pose greater concern for South Korea, Japan and the United States.Kim convened the Central Military Commission meeting earlier this week to confirm “crucial and urgent tasks” to expand military capabilities and implement key defense policies. Cheong Seong-Chang, a senior analyst at South Korea’s private Sejong Institute, said North Korea is expected to preform its seventh nuclear test after the meeting, saying that its third nuclear test in 2013 also came days after another Central Military Commission meeting.Before this week’s meeting, Kim called a meeting of the Central Military Commission a total of 16 times since he took power in late 2011 but it’s the first time that a commission meeting has been held for more than two days, Cheong said.Wednesday was the second-day session of the commission meeting. KCNA said the commission continues its discussion on the presented agenda items, indicating the meeting would continue on Thursday. Earlier this year, North Korea test-launched a spate of missiles whose potential ranges place both the U.S. mainland and its Asian allies like South Korea and Japan within striking distances. Some experts say North Korea wants to modernize its weapons systems and boost its leverage in future negotiations with the United States to win sanctions relief and other concessions. South Korean and U.S. officials have warned North Korea to face consequences if it goes ahead with a nuclear test. But the divisions between permanent members of the U.N.

Families that never had to think twice about fuel or food are struggling to manage three meals a day, cutting back on portions. Days are spent waiting in lines to buy scarce fuel. The crisis has derailed years of progress toward relatively comfortable lifestyles aspired to across South Asia. An island nation of 22 million, Sri Lanka is hurtling towards bankruptcy after amassing $51 billion in foreign debt. There is hardly any money to import items like gasoline, milk, cooking gas and toilet paper. Before things began unraveling, Madushanka, a 27-year-old accountant, studied in Japan and hoped to work there. He moved back home in 2018 after his father died, to look after his mother and sister. Madushanka finished his studies and found a job in tourism, but lost it in the shadow of 2019 terror attacks that rattled the country and its economy. The next job evaporated during the pandemic. He's now working for a management company, his fourth job in four years. But even with a reliable paycheck, he can barely manage to support his family. Food prices have tripled in recent weeks, forcing the family to seek out government handouts of rice and donations from nearby Buddhist temples and mosques. Madushanka’s savings are finished. “Right now, there is only enough to survive -- if there are months where we don’t get extra benefits from outside, we have to just hold on somehow,” he said. Even past crises, like Sri Lanka's nearly 30-year long civil war that ended in 2009 or the devastating 2004 tsunami, did not cause this degree of pain or anguish for those outside of the affected areas, experts say. Until recently, Sri Lanka’s middle class, estimated by experts to be between 15 to 20% of the country’s urban population, generally enjoyed economic security and comfort. “The crisis has really shocked the middle class -- it has forced them into hardships they were never exposed to before, like getting basic items, not knowing whether they could get fuel despite spending hours in line,” said Bhavani Fonseka, a senior researcher at the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital. “They have really been jolted like no other time in the last three decades,” Fonseka said. Sri Lanka's middle class began to swell in the 1970s after the country's economy opened up to more trade and investment. It has grown steadily since, with Sri Lanka's GDP per capita surging higher than those of many of its neighbors. “The ambition was to own a home and car, be able to send your kids to a good school, eat out every few weeks and afford a vacation here and there, said economist Chayu Damsinghe. “But now it feels like the middle class has lost its dream, he added. “If the middle class is struggling like this, imagine how hard hit the more vulnerable are,” Fonseka said. Protests have raged since April, with demonstrators blaming President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his government for policy blunders that torpedoed the economy and plunged the nation into chaos. In May, a wave of violent protests forced Rajapaksa’s brother and then-prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to step down. His successor, Ranil Wickremesinghe, is banking on a bail-out package from the International Monetary Fund and help from friendly countries like India and China to keep the economy afloat. In an interview with the Associated Press last week, Wickremesinghe said he feared food shortages might persist until 2024 as the war in Ukraine disrupts global supply chains, causing prices of some commodities to soar. Sri Lanka's economic predicament was compounded by a ban last year on imported chemical fertilizers that angered farmers and hurt harvests. The ban was lifted after six months, but the damage was already done, leading to food shortages. Government officials have been given every Friday off for three months to save on fuel and grow their own fruits and vegetables as food reserves run low. The inflation rate for food is 57%, according to official data, and 70% of Sri Lankan homes surveyed by UNICEF in May reported reduced food consumption. On a recent afternoon, residents swarmed a busy vegetable market in Colombo, sweating under the sun’s glare as they carefully compared prices of tomatoes and oranges with those at markets they had visited earlier. Sriyani Kankanamge, 63, said she has stopped buying meat or fish and buys only a few kinds of vegetables. “I am angry. Prices of every essential item are going up — rice, sugar, milk, chicken, fish. How can people eat?” she said bitterly. Madushanka’s family has opted to give up three daily meals for just a late breakfast and dinner. On a recent Friday, his mother, Ambepitiyage Indrani, was grinding coconut and boiling a pot of water over a thin stack of firewood. When their gas cylinder ran empty in May, the thought of waiting in a queue with no guarantee of success seemed futile. The kitchen ceiling, once a gleaming white, is now streaked with soot from the cooking fire. An electric stove bought a few years ago has been sold. Indrani has glaucoma in her left eye and is using her eye drops once a day instead of twice, as recommended by her doctor. The price for the medicine has quadrupled. “It has been the hardest time of my life,” she said, recalling how just a few months earlier she used to cook extra food to give away to others in the neighborhood. The family's radio and television set have been turned off for weeks, their scooter is parked outside, covered. They hardly use it any more, preferring to walk or take the bus rather than queue for fuel.When the daily three hour-long power cut hits, Madushanka sometimes heads to the main protest site outside the president’s office. Like many Sri Lankans he feels the only way out may be to leave. “I had a simple dream -- build a house, buy a car, work full-time during the week and go on holiday once in a while. I wanted to get married and raise a family,” he said. “But I'm scared this dream is no longer possible, at least not in this country.”","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":"6.9355","longitude":"79.8487","name":"Colombo,Sri Lanka","city":"Colombo"},"keywords":"Sri Lanka's,Sri Lanka,Madushanka,Colombo,Fonseka,COLOMBO,South Asia,Japan,Buddhist,Bhavani Fonseka","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-22T05:09:12.223295+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"nq3Q5VenWy51","slug":"english/tokyo-2020-olympics-cost-double-of-original-estimate-breakdown-of-costs","title":"Tokyo 2020 Olympics cost double of original estimate: All you need to know","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_MkZqiTAjL.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - A person walks near Tokyo 2020 logo in Haneda Airport on June 14, 2021, in Tokyo.

The gold was won by Ci Hui Nyo of Malaysia ahead of Japan's Mizuki Ikeda and Sofiya Karimova of Uzbekistan. Overall, India is at 5th place with two gold, five silver and 13 bronze medals. Japan leads the medal tally with 11 golds, six silver and two bronze, while the Koreans are in second position with 10 gold, nine silver, two bronze ahead of Kazakhstan, who have four gold, three silver and a bronze in their kitty.","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":"Asian,Japan,India,Kazakhstan,Indian,Ronaldo,Andrey Chugay,Malaysian,New Delhi,Jun 21","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-21T14:48:05.552517+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"HN5fCA0OEfEe","slug":"english/another-womens-major-on-a-major-course-at-congressional","title":"Another women's major on a major course at Congressional","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-21T14:33:22.738040+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\": 1655822002.213324, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"LPGA TOUR AND PGA OF AMERICA\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"KPMG WOMEN'S PGA CHAMPIONSHIP\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Site: Bethesda, Maryland.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Course: Congressional CC (Blue).

Since it did not rain much on Saturday, the events were held without any problem though the wooden tracks of the velodrome had to be dried up by the stadium staff and some cyclists themselves after a brief spell of rain on Friday. The velodrome, which is certified as top level by world cycling body (UCI), is hosting the Asian Track Cycling Championships -- both senior and junior -- and the Para track event from Saturday till next Wednesday. This is not the first instance of such a leakage. Just 10 days before the start of Asian Track Cycling Championship in January 2017, the wooden tracks of the same velodrome were damaged due to leakage from the roof after heavy downpour lashed the national capital. Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Saturday blamed Central Public Works Department (CPWD) for the rainwater leakage on Friday. SAI Executive Director (Stadia) Shiv Sharma said that the government cannot spend money on this again as it is the responsibility of the CPWD to fix the problem as they have given a 15-year warranty. The CPWD has a 15-year warranty for the stadium as they were given the contracts to build the stadium during the 2010 Delhi CWG. Such leaks have happened in the past also and we have repeatedly written to them on this issue, the latest being this month, he said. But they have been saying that they have raised the issue with the contractor who built the roof of the velodrome and they are not responsible. The run-up to the championships was marred by a controversy when a junior woman cyclist had levelled allegations of inappropriate behaviour against chief coach RK Sharma during a foreign exposure tour of Slovenia. The coach was sacked in a prompt action by the SAI but the incident left the sporting world shocked. The limelight was back on the sport as a 36-member Indian Cycling team and eight para cyclists compete in the 41st Senior, 28th Junior Asian Track and 10th Para Track Cycling Championships -- which will be held simultaneously at the Indoor Cycling Velodrome here. All eyes will be on Indian stars such as Esow, Ronaldo Singh, David Beckham, Vishwajeet Singh, Trishya Paul, Mayuri Lute and Meenakshi during the five-day event. After the withdrawal of China, Nepal and Mongolia, there are 15 countries participating in the event including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Turkmenistan, UAE \u0026 Uzbekistan. Korea, Malaysia, Japan and Kazakhstan have the best performing riders and it will be a tough competition where all the riders will try to earn maximum points to improve their ranking.","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":"Asian,Track Cycling Championships,SAI,the Asian Track Cycling Championships,Japan,Kazakhstan,Korea,Malaysia,New Delhi,Jun 18","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-18T12:51:05.902435+00:00"}}]},"widgets":[]},"topicList":[],"slug":"japan","lang":"en","messages":{"Disclaimer":{"DISCLAIMER":"Disclaimer","OPINION_DISCLAIMER":"The views expressed in this article are the personal opinions of the author.
