“Taiwan is poised to
elect its first female leader”
“The two main
political parties have nominated women in next January’s Presidential
Elections”
“Hung Hsiu-chu 67 is a
former teacher and has a fiery style. She is known as “Little Hot Pepper””
“She was selected on
Sunday as the candidate for the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT)”
“Hung will compete
against Tsai Ing-wen 58 the candidate for the opposition Democratic Progressive
Party (DPP)”
“Tsai is already the
party’s chairwoman”
“She is a trained
lawyer who studied at The London School of Economics before forging ahead with
a career in politics back home”
“The battle between
the two women will bring forth a new understanding of true democracy”
“Hung has a mountain
to climb if she is to win over enough votes to self-rule this island of 18
million voters to defeat Tsai”
“It was Tsai who
narrowly lost the 2012 election”
“Tsai Ing-wen is the
front runner and she is ahead of all the polls so far”
“Hung’s KMT party has
ruled Taiwan since 2008 and badly lost in last November’s local elections”
“China’s Communist
leaders view Taiwan as a renegade province that should be re-unified with
mainland China”
“It is the Taiwanese
people who have a growing unease with China”
“They are not happy
with the way China has handled their hard-line response to the prodemocracy
movement demonstrations in Hong Kong”
“Since 2012, public
opinion has now become more cautious about the risks on integration with China”
“What is so wonderful
right now is that Taiwan has become the latest in a series of nations wanting
to elect female leaders”
“They follow Thailand,
the Philippines and South Korea”
“China on the other
hand has not a single woman in the Communist party’s elite”
“Taiwan has two female
Presidential candidates, which shows the role of women in Taiwanese politics”
“They also have more
female legislators”
“This has occurred as
a gradual process over two and a half decades since democratisation”
“Together with a
strong woman’s movement being one factor and a well-educated population with
favourable institutions”
“Women no longer see
politics as a barrier”
“They are able to
forge ahead where they feel the need is there for them to voice their opinions”
“If more women were
able to enter politics, there would be less wars and less mismanagement of
nations”
“They are, after all,
the basis for all life and should be considered as such!”

“The situation in Iran
over its sanctions and the relief that now comes from the deal on their nuclear
agenda by the P5+1 Agreement means…”
“…Iran can become a
world power again”
“Suppression by US
sanctions and the cloak and dagger approach by Israel to quash all deals
concerning Iran are now being limited”
“Although Israel will
try to fight the Vienna Agreement in Congress, it will fail substantially”
“America and the
Middle East needs stability”
“They need a power
that is able to sort out the American mess, which America can no longer do”
“America is tired of
war and its policies have brought disorder and chaos, not only to the Middle East,
but to the world at large”
“America needs Iran as
never before to build up new policies with its neighbours and to find out a
legal way to oust out IS”
“It is no longer a
question of fighting IS on the ground, they are too powerful just now”
“It is necessary for
the Arab States to put behind them their fears and to put together a
collaboration to deal with IS on their terms”
“Israel will see
themselves further isolated and where they feel they hold all the cards on
their terms”
“Slowly they will see
those slipping away from them”
“Israel, the bad man
in this pack of thieves, will have to humble itself”
“On their knees to a
different dictate over and above their own, which they have enjoyed for
decades”
“The American people
will ask for results from the Iran deal and, where Obama has the momentum, they
will see sense”
“The people will
continue questioning until Congress has to put down its guns and seen sense”
“Iran is needed to
broker deals with the Saudis in order for a more positive move to embrace
stability in the region”
“This is no longer
about Shias against Sunnis, but about common sense becoming the bigger picture
here”
“A new dialogue, which
will incorporate Iraq at the centre of negotiations…”
“…will establish a
drive through operation to deal with extremists as never before”
“Turkish Kurds will
also be in attendance, as their forces have already taken more of the force”
“They know what needs
to be done to deal with this common enemy, IS”
“America needs to
understand the backlash that they have caused by recruiting IS in the first
place”
“They now reap what
they have sown and so must now place their support in Iran to save the day”
“Not only for the
Middle East, but for the world at large”
“Israel will remain on
the backburner and they won’t be consulted in any form of negotiations”
“They too have done
enough damage in the Middle East by their own agendas and so they will be
silenced whether they like it or not!”
“See Saudi Arabia deal
tactically with Iran on a number of strategic issues and where their
disagreements will not be an issue”
“But where the greater
cause will be instead!”

“The art of Social
Media shows that nobody can get away with anything anymore”
“In this case a
Cambodian property tycoon has been exposed for assaulting a well-known
Cambodian actress”
“Sok Bun has appeared
in court after the actress posted a video of her attack online”
“The CCTV footage
taken at the time of the assault on Ek Socheata, better known as SaSa, on the
video in the capital Phnom Penh”
“Sok Bun, 37 years
old, returned to Cambodia from Singapore, where he had fled”
“Violence against
women in Cambodia is commonplace, but when the people were shown the exposure
of the attack it sparked outrage”
“Sok Bun was arrested
at Phnom Penh’s airport by Cambodia’s Prime Minister, who called for his
arrest”
“He stated, “Don’t think because you have money, you can
escape. What you have done is intolerable””
“The video footage
shows SaSa being dragged off a chair onto the floor of a Japanese restaurant”
“She was then kicked
in the head & as she tried to get up she was punched & stamped on. All
this continued for over a minute”
“There was a point
when Mr Bun’s bodyguard pointed a gun at SaSa’s head as the attack continued”
“Finally a restaurant
worker pulls off her attacker”
“It was the restaurant
who gave SaSa the video and then she later posted it on her Facebook page, her
black eye visibly shown”
“Mr Bun pulled SaSa’s
hair and smashed her head against the floor”
“SaSa said she was
simply protecting her friend against the unwanted advances of Sok Bun”
“The bodyguard has
been charged with attempted murder, as he pulled the trigger of his gun at
SaSa’s head”
“But the trigger
failed to discharge. He is still at large”
“Cambodia’s Prime
Minister issued the arrest and if Sok Bun is found guilty he could face up to
five years in prison”
“As more exposure to
these types of crimes becomes relevant it begins to show that those who commit
them can no longer hide behind innocence”
“The truth must expose
these thugs whose will they subject on others, simply because they feel they
can”
“Justice is finally
catching them in the act”

“There is to be an
agreement between rich and poor countries”
“It is for an overhaul
of global finance, for international development and the release of money to
end global poverty”
“It was the United
Nations who has announced the deal, which follows negotiations at Addis Ababa
in Ethiopia”
“This deal is to
finance new Sustainable Development Goals”
“They will target and
protect the environment and improve economic opportunity by 2030”
“This agreement is a
critical step-forward in building sustainable futures for all”
“There is a need to
revitalise global partnerships for sustainable development, so that nobody can
be left behind”
“There have been
seventeen development goals that have been agreed, which include ending poverty
and hunger”
“It also ensures that
quality education is there for all and achieving gender equality and making
cities safe”
“These goals will see
developing nations generating more domestic tax revenues to finance their own
development agendas”
“They will not need to
rely on foreign aid all the time”
“The developing
countries will start to push ahead with important measures to improve tax
collection”
“They will also combat
tax evasion as well as money-laundering”
“It has to be a joint
venture, where all those who take part are able to support each other”
“This will allow
sustainable growth and the outcome is always possible”
“However the rich only
get richer”
“It is now up to the poorer
countries to start to deal with corruption, so that a fairer society for all is
started and maintained”
“Always where there is
a will there is a way, but it has to be with the right intention always”

the deal with Iran to work, so that he can hope to control a volatile situation
in the Middle East”
“Iran for all its
faults is a stable nation with a stable Government, apart from the crippling
sanctions”
“They are able to look
after their people”
“Iran has a stability,
which is not found in the Middle East today”
“America can do no
more for the Middle East. They are out of their depth”
“America has created
untold problems without working out a long-term strategy for the unification of
Arab lands and their peoples”
“This destruction has
caused untold misery with brother Muslim fighting Muslim brother and where
nobody wins or gains overall control”
“America has caused
this untold misery and they are fully responsible for instigating IS warfare,
armed and trained in Jordan by the CIA”
“These IS guerrillas
infiltrated from Lebanon and into Syria and now into Iraq”
“America is reaping
the rewards of their destructive ways and policies”
“They have lost
control completely of the entire Middle East, which is in the mess caused by
their hand in all of this”
“America has no concept
or understanding of how the Middle East works”
“They don’t understand
how Arabs think and function and their right to govern their own people”
“This may not be as
America lives and acts, but must be considered as their right to do so”
“America has no right
to go in & disrupt these nations into their way of thinking just because
they feel they can & for their greed for oil”
“They are now reaping
the results of their actions”
“America needs a
stable ally and Iran could well be that political stabilising influence, which
the US needs right now”
“This nuclear deal has
to be forged ahead to bring about stability in this highly volatile region”
“Iran has the knowhow
to do just that and can bring in another voice to the table that is no longer
one-sided by Saudi Arabia and Israel”
“It is time that
through diplomatic channels constructive discussions are formed with
contingency plans that will satisfy all”
“That means the 5+1
and Iran have a better grounding for peace in a damaged area, which can now
start to materialise”
“Israel has nuclear
weapons, given to them from France”
“So does India and
Pakistan, UK, France, Russia and of course China. North Korea is developing
theirs as well”
“Nowhere in the world
is safe any longer and if you think otherwise, then you are all naïve and
should wake up”
“There needs to be
some inroads into the Middle East and for an easing up of sanctions for Iran”
“To bring Iran in as
an ally on diplomatic agendas, will allow for a stabilising of the Middle East crisis”
“It will allow them to
help out regarding IS and so bring more solutions into the game plan!
“These talks are more
than just Iran having nuclear capabilities”
“It means another
nation to consult with what feels more of an ally as opposed to more of an evil
regime”

“In 1966, the year oil
was discovered, Sheikh Rashid donated a piece of land to a Roman Catholic mission”

“As one moves around
Dubai there is no evidence of any religion other than Islam”
“Churches are not
allowed to display crosses or preach publicly or try to persuade Muslims to
convert”
“That would
incorporate a jail sentence and deportation”

“The Srebrenica
massacre, also known as the Srebrenica genocide, was the genocidal killing in
July 1995 of more than 8,000 Bosniaks”
“They were mainly men
and boys”
“This all happened
around the town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War”
“The killing was done
by units of the Army of Republika Srpska”
“Their commander was
General Ratko Mladic, who is in The Hague for war crimes”
“The Secretary General
of the United Nations described the mass murder as the worst crime on European
soil since the Second World War”
“A paramilitary unit
from Serbia participated in the massacre”
“In 2004 a unanimous
ruling by the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia located
in The Hague ruled this was a massacre”
“The massacre of the
male inhabitants constituted genocide, a crime under International Law”
“This ruling was
upheld by the International Court of Justice in 2007”
“There was also a
forcible transfer of 25,000–30,000 Bosniak women, children and the elderly,
which accompanied the massacre”
“In July 2012, some
6,838 genocide victims have been identified by DNA analysis on body parts”
“These have now been
recovered and put into mass graves”
“In July 2013, some
6,066 victims have now been buried at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial Centre
and Cemetery”
“Russia has recently
vetoed a UN resolution stating it was genocide”
“However Members of
the European Parliament and the House of Representatives of the US Congress
unanimously have adopted its resolution”
“This was to adopt
this crime in Srebrenica to be defined as genocide”
“Until the Serbian
Prime Minister comes to terms with what has happened by his own countrymen in
these horrific crimes…”
“…there can be no
healing established in this country”
“The Serbian
Government has to admit that it was a genocide, however harsh that might seem
to them”
“The truth is there
continuously in their faces”
“Some twenty years
down the road nothing much has changed to alleviate the sufferings of these
Bosniak people”
“Fourteen individuals
have already been convicted at a UN Tribunal in The Hague in relations to these
killings”
“Ratko Mladic and a
former Bosnian Serb army Chief Radovan Karadzic are on trial for these
massacres”
“Until proper justice is
being seen to be done, nothing can eradicate the stain of their crimes from
their hands and from their history!”

in The Hague ruled this was a massacre”
“The massacre of the
male inhabitants constituted genocide, a crime under International Law”
“This ruling was
upheld by the International Court of Justice in 2007”
“There was also a
forcible transfer of 25,000–30,000 Bosniak women, children and the elderly,
which accompanied the massacre”
“In July 2012, some
6,838 genocide victims have been identified by DNA analysis on body parts”
“These have now been
recovered and put into mass graves”
“In July 2013, some
6,066 victims have now been buried at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial Centre
and Cemetery”
“Russia has recently
vetoed a UN resolution stating it was genocide”
“However Members of
the European Parliament and the House of Representatives of the US Congress
unanimously have adopted its resolution”
“This was to adopt
this crime in Srebrenica to be defined as genocide”
“Until the Serbian
Prime Minister comes to terms with what has happened by his own countrymen in
these horrific crimes…”
“…there can be no
healing established in this country”
“The Serbian
Government has to admit that it was a genocide, however harsh that might seem
to them”
“The truth is there
continuously in their faces”
“Some twenty years
down the road nothing much has changed to alleviate the sufferings of these
Bosniak people”
“Fourteen individuals
have already been convicted at a UN Tribunal in The Hague in relations to these
killings”
“Ratko Mladic and a
former Bosnian Serb army Chief Radovan Karadzic are on trial for these
massacres”
“Until proper justice
is being seen to be done, nothing can eradicate the stain of their crimes from
their hands and from their history!”
