An Algerian court has sentenced 49 people to death over the lynching of a man falsely accused of starting deadly forest fires during an extended heatwave last year, state media reported. The North African country has, however, maintained a moratorium on carrying out death sentences since the last executions in 1993, meaning the sentences will likely be reduced to life imprisonment. The court found that locals in Algeria’s Tizi Ouzou district had beaten 38-year-old Djamel Ben Ismail to death after he was accused of starting the fires that broke out last August and killed at least 90 people across northern Algeria. It later emerged that Ismail, an artist from Miliana (230 kilometres or 140 miles further west), had in fact headed to the region as a volunteer to help put out the fires. Algeria, Africa’s biggest country, was one of several Mediterranean nations to face devastating wildfires last year. The court in Dar el-Beida, east of the capital Algiers, on Thursday “sentenced 49 people to execution over [Ben Ismail’s] murder and mutilation of his body”, the official state news agency, APS, reported. The court handed 28 other defendants jail terms of two years to a decade without parole, APS said. Videos posted online after the lynching showed a crowd surrounding a police van and beating a man inside it, then dragging him out and setting him on fire, with some taking selfies. The shocking images were widely shared and sparked outrage in Algeria. The victim’s father, Noureddine Ben Ismail, was praised for calling for calm and “brotherhood” among Algerians despite his son’s murder. The fires were spurred by a blistering heatwave but authorities also blamed “criminals” for the outbreaks. Authorities also accused the Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylie (MAK), which Algiers classifies as a “terrorist organisation”. MAK, an autonomy movement for the mostly Amazigh-speaking Kabylie region in northern Algeria, rejected the accusations. Although much of Algeria is desert, the north has more than four million hectares (10 million acres) of forest and suffers devastating fires every summer. Climate scientists have repeatedly warned that man-made global warming will bring higher temperatures and more extreme weather events across the world.

Hunger skyrocketed in Brazil during the tenure of former president Jair Bolsonaro. 33 million Brazilians, some 15% of the entire country, are now food insecure according to official statistics. As Brazil’s poorest were abandoned to deal with the overlapping crises of COVID-19 and inflation, the MST, or Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement, stepped in. With 20 million hectares of reclaimed land under their control across 1,200 municipalities, the MST possessed the necessary base of land and labor to effectively make a difference for millions of Brazilians. TRNN reports from the ground in Brazil to investigate how the largest social movement in the Americas is simultaneously eliminating hunger, seizing land for the tillers, and fighting for agrarian reform. This story, with the support of the Bertha Foundation, is part of The Real News Network’s Workers of the World series, telling the stories of workers around the globe building collective power and redefining the future of work on their own terms. Producer: Martin Varese Videography: Maria Silva Video editor: Leo Erhardt TRANSCRIPT Reporter: Meet the movement that feeds Brazil. With over 2 million members, the Landless Workers’ Movement known as the MST, is the largest social movement in the world. It has been occupying land and producing food for the country while building a police-free and hunger-free socialist system. Rosa – Member of the Carlos Lamarca Settlement: The importance of the movement (MST), for me, from my point of view, it is the most just social movement that exists. Because the MST allows bringing back the people who were expelled from the countryside, it enables restoring their roots. By conquering the land, we have a space to work, a space to live, and a space to raise our children with a different kind of freedom. We have a space to plant, produce, and produce in a different way, respecting the environment and Mother Earth. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: We are present in approximately 1200 municipalities. We have a conquered territory of approximately 20 million hectares. Our po[CENSORED]r base, between people in encampments that still don’t have lands and people in permanent settlements that already own their land, is of approximately 500,000 families or about 2 million people. Our movement is organized based on a collective logic, a decentralized logic from the point of view of its organization and its political command, and at the same time, a movement that has unity based on its ideology. The movement’s ideology today is that it’s an organization of rural workers that fight for agrarian reform, that fights for socialism. But above everything, it’s an organization that wants to produce healthy food products in an agroecological perspective to resolve the hunger and misery problems in Brazil and worldwide. Reporter: The MST has built a collective system of mutual aid, in which it can produce healthy food for the Brazilian people. The grassroots movement organizes cooperatives, associations and agro-industries in their camps and permanent settlements. Léo – Member of the Carlos Lamarca Settlement: We work in a system of joint effort, a collective system. There are some people in one piece of land, others in another. But everything is collective. So the work we do between our families that we have been doing for a while has been proven effective. So the best work that exists is collective work. Working as a unit. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UK teachers aren’t backing down UK TEACHERS AREN’T BACKING DOWN Massive anti-government protests sweep Greece after train crash kills 57 people MASSIVE ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS SWEEP GREECE AFTER TRAIN CRASH KILLS 57 PEOPLE More stories on international labor organizing... Reporter: As a result of this collective way of production, the MST has been providing healthy food and products, especially to poor people in big cities, such as São Paulo. The work of the MST was crucial for many Brazilian workers and poor people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who called Covid “a little flu”, didn’t provide the necessary means for the Brazilian people to overcome the pandemic. One of the main issues in Brazil was hunger. As the Bolsonaro government was focused on favoring the export of soy and beef, the industry that actually fed the people was destroyed. Under Bolsonaro, Brazil got back on the map of hunger, as the UN found that 61.3 million Brazilians faced food insecurity. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: Our commitment to Brazilian society is clear and was built, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the MST donated 10,000 tons of food. Only in the big cities have we donated 7 thousand tons of food. And in the movement, in encampments and permanent settlements and other actions, other 3 thousand tons of food. We are talking about 10 thousand tons of food that arrived in Brazilian society thanks to the production of our movement. Reporter: But how has the MST been organized to be able to provide thousands of tons of food to the people and at the same time fight to change the world in other areas? Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: In 2024, the MST will complete 40 years of existence. It is a movement that basically has three political natures, which marks a difference from more classical movements. The MST has a very peculiar feature that is unique here in Brazil. Because it has a combination of factors. It’s a movement that has a very po[CENSORED]r nature. As a movement, it groups a lot of people. The people. The common people. Workers. It’s a movement that has a trade union characteristic as it fights for a set of rights, fights for the improvement of workers’ living conditions. But above everything, the MST is a political organization. Within its nature, the MST has a position in different matters of Brazilian politics. This is why it’s a po[CENSORED]r, a trade unionist, and a political movement. However, our main objective is to fight for land, agrarian reform, and the living condition’s improvement of the Brazilian people. Reporter: The MST has become a hope for many people around the world. In their encampments and permanent settlements, they have tried to create a new model of society based on the concept that the land belongs to those who work it. Léo – Member of the Carlos Lamarca Settlement: The MST, for me, summarizes everything! It’s where we fight for land, to have the right to a home and to work the land, having means of living for our families and us. We work here in the settlements to produce organic food with no poison. The importance of my being part of the movement is that we learned a lot from the MST. What we learn here, we try to pass it on to other people. And the question of production. We bring healthy quality products without poison to the people in the cities. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: As a po[CENSORED]r movement, the MST is a reference, a hope of a way of production in agriculture that has been completely destroyed by agribusiness. So, the MST represents a hope in agricultural cooperation. The MST represents hope in the production of organic and healthy foods. But at the same time, as we have control of the territories, the landless movement represents a way of organizing society. Can you imagine that in our settlements, we don’t have police? In our settlements, there isn’t one child out of school. In our settlements, we have an extreme precaution not to use agrotoxics. This model of society is what the MST represents. The MST is very small when you speak in terms of force. Brazil has 220 million people. The MST has 2 million people. It’s tiny in terms of the number of people. However, from the perspective of symbology and reference, I have no doubts that our movement is one of the main left-wing organizations in Latin America. Today 100 million Brazilians have no guarantee of having food on their tables; we have a movement that can produce food for all these people. Reporter: The MST’s primary fight and the idea that brings together their millions of members is the po[CENSORED]r agrarian reform. With about 8.5 million square kilometers, Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world, and almost half of Brazil is in private hands, many of it owned by large landowners and corporations. The Brazilian constitution allows the expropriation and redistribution of rural land that is not being used “productively” for agriculture, ranching, or conservation. Therefore, appropriating and producing unproductive lands such as the MST does, is constitutionally legal. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: There is something that I think is very important for those foreigners who are listening to this and don’t know Brazil and our situation. Brazil is one of the only big or rich countries in the world to have never had an agrarian reform. In Brazil we didn’t have any of these situations. Not a socialist agrarian reform. Not a capitalist agrarian reform. On the contrary, there was a concentration of land. For those not knowing Brazil, people say that it was the biggest rural exodus in mankind’s history was here in Brazil. We talk about 50 million people that left the countryside and went to cities between the decades of 1930 to 1960. Today, we have a 1% of the po[CENSORED]tion that owns 46 – 47 percent of the national territory. Therefore, Brazil is also one of the only countries worldwide that has the possibility of doing an agrarian reform. Reporter: What would an agrarian reform look like in Brazil? Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: We would have the conditions to do an agrarian reform for about 10 million Brazilian people. Creating permanent settlements with 10 million Brazilians would mean to rise tenfold what we have. We have 1 million people living in permanent settlements. This is the challenge that we want. In the coming years, we want the government to move towards that strategy of democratizing lands. This would guarantee suitable employment, food production, but is mainly the guarantee of environmental preservation. Reporter: The Brazilian people have lived the last six years under right-wing governments. During the far-right Bolsonaro government, the country has become polarized. Opposite sides call it a fight between communists and fascists. The former trade unionist and po[CENSORED]r left-wing leader Lula da Silva, with the enormous help of the MST, won the elections and was sworn in as president on January 1st 2023. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: Lula won the elections. A very difficult victory. This makes us very happy and gives us more air to breathe, at least for the next four years. For us to at least be able to rebuild the po[CENSORED]r organization, to strengthen the institutions of democracy and to create public policies that would remain independent of governments. Reporter: The supporters of Bolsonaro have been on the streets for a long time. First, they fought against the possible candidacy of Lula, then against the results of the elections and finally, they attacked the Three Power Square in Brasilia. During these attacks, far-right supporters of Bolsonaro invaded the Brazilian Congress, the Brazilian judicial power and the Palacio do Planalto, the seat of the government. Joao Paulo Rodrigues – Member of the MST leadership: What makes us worry is Bolsonarism. The extreme far-right worldwide, in Latin America and Brazil, has grown in the last five years. I’m talking about a worldwide phenomenon. We have to open our eyes and get ready to fight against a fascist right wing that came out of the sewage or closets and went to the streets with a lot of craziness. And with terrorist actions such as the ones we see here in Brazil. This is not a motive to run and hide, frightened by them. But we need to get ready to defend the Lula government. To get ready to dispute the Lula government, defend workers, and dispute the streets. We need to know that they exist. To know that they have always existed, since the end of WWII. Now they have reappeared with a bit more strength because there was a government in Brazil and others around the world helping finance those sectors. I’m convinced that we will have a new generation trained with a lot of information from social media and experience fighting on the streets that will vigorously combat fascism and build a new society with values, policies and, at the same time, a new possible world.

In addition to captivating a record number of people, cats helped heat up the Japanese economy during the covid-19 pandemic. According to Katsuhiro Miyamoto, a professor emeritus at Kansai University, the phenomenon he called "nekonomics" (economic effects of cats) moved about $14.6 billion (1.9 trillion yen) in the 2021 period alone. To arrive at this high figure, the survey took into account expenses on food, basic necessities and veterinary care, as well as projects generated by the Japanese passion for cats. Even those who do not have a pet at home often go to themed cafes and tourist spots, such as islands known for their concentration of felines, just to photograph and touch the cats. In Japan, the onomatopoeia for meowing is "nyan nyan nyan", which sounds like "ni" (two in Japanese). Based on a play on words and at the suggestion of the pet food industry, in 1987 it was established that February 22 would be Cat Day, thus creating one more reason to increase "nekonomics". For many Japanese, ignoring the cat's piercing gaze and purring is as difficult as resisting the myriad of cute items that the cat industry tends to fill the shelves with at this time of year.

The pandemic only caused this interest to rise further as people were forced to isolate at home. The po[CENSORED]tion of these cats registered a record in 2021, adding some 489,000 more animals compared to the previous period, which brought the total number of cats in the country to about 8.94 million (compared to 7.10 million dogs ). Yoichiro Matsushita with Kiki and Lara, the current feline members of his family. IMAGE SOURCE, PERSONAL ARCHIVE Caption, Yoichiro Matsushita with Kiki and Lara, the current feline members of his family. Professor Miyamoto multiplied this number by the average monthly expense of US$63 (about 8,460 yen) that goes into the country for feeding and basic care of each animal. The sum reaches US$ 6,758 million per year (about 911,580 million yen) To that amount was added the domino effect of the entire chain and what was generated by feline domestic tourism: the total was about US$14.6 billion (almost 2 trillion yen). By way of comparison, the 'nekonomics' in 2021 are slightly higher than what was spent on the organization of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (estimated at US$12.528 million or 1.69 trillion yen). Professor Miyamoto reminds that the cost of taking care of a small cat is relatively low for a family, but for Japan it means a lot. "In other words, the accumulation of small amounts by each family contributes to the Japanese economy, it is the engine that moves the whole," he says in an interview with BBC News Brazil.

The Indian brand offers a retro access custom (A2) with the well-known engine from the Interceptor and Continental in which almost everything else is new. Since the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT were introduced to the world in 2018, more than 400,000 units of these two models have already been sold. The Super Meteor 650 is powered by the same engine as its siblings, a 648cc SOHC inline twin with 8 valves that is air and oil cooled. The power is 47 CV at 7250 rpm, that is, ideal not only for any fan but also for a new driver who is opening the A2 license. You will be able to enjoy the Super Meteor from the first moment, without it being necessary to limit its power. The maximum torque of 52.3 Nm is reached at 5650 rpm. It may interest you: First photo of the electric Royal Enfield You can not miss: Beautiful preparation Royal Enfield HNTR 350 When riding the Super Meteor 650 (blessed are the bikes that have names and not alphabet soup!) you quickly realize that the twin has excellent bass. So much so that 80 percent of the available torque is found at just 2,500 rpm. A situation that fits like a glove to this model that Royal Enfield defines as retro custom. Well, in international markets they now use the term cruiser but we think that these are semantic issues that are not very important. According to the Oxford Dictionary, "cruising is traveling in a motor vehicle smoothly at moderate speeds." We can assure you of something that the Super Meteor is capable of doing all day long, as it demonstrated in this dynamic test on the roads around Valencia. Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 2023 The work that Royal Enfield has done has not been simply to take the engine already known from the Interceptor and Continental to give it a custom aesthetic touch. Nor is it about using the base of the Meteor 350 (undoubtedly the little sister of the bike you see here) and planting the twin. No, the Super Meteor 650 is a completely new bike. Royal Enfield assures that, in addition to the computer simulations that are already unavoidable in the times in which we live, its testers have traveled more than a million km through India, the United Kingdom and Spain to fine-tune the final product. Joaquín Cuñat, head of Royal Enfield Spain, explained to us that India and the EU had recently signed a trade agreement that eliminated or reduced tariffs on products. For this reason, the Super Meteor 650 will be on sale throughout Spain from March at 7,247 euros. That is the price of the base version which is called Astral, and it can be chosen in three colors (black, blue and a very British green). The next step is the Interstellar version (we really liked the movie of the same name and its soundtrack) at 7,447 euros (pink price) in green or gray. Finally, we can opt for the top of the range, the Celestial (7,747 euros) in red or blue that comes standard with a screen and luxurious large seat and backrest. In the test we only had access to the Astral, the base version, but the differences with the others are more cosmetic. As a good custom (which comes from the English "tailor"), Royal Enfield offers a huge catalog of accessories so that you can give it the image you want, more minimalist or ornate. The Super Meteor 650 is the first Royal Enfield to use an upside-down fork, well, we can't say it's very new in 2023, but welcome. It is a unit signed by Showa that has 43 mm in diameter, 120 mm of travel and without regulation. On the rear axle we find two shock absorbers from the same farm with preload adjustment in five positions. We liked the fork a lot but the shock perhaps felt a little dry, especially in the bumpiest areas. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the travel is only 101 mm... The brand reminded us that this motorcycle is designed to be versatile, and its range of use even includes riding with a partner and with luggage (not my case). because my wife prefers making clothes to riding a motorcycle). We come to the section of the brakes, some Bybre (By Brembo, which is a second brand of the famous manufacturer) that if we are not mistaken are made precisely in India. The front disc is 320 mm (the same as its sisters) with a two-piston caliper. The changes are in the back, because there the disc is 300 mm (240 mm on the Interceptor and Continental). The Super Metero, like any good custom, is long (1500 mm of wheelbase) and low, the bike feels well planted and, although agility is not its strong point, on the highway or in the city it moves with ease. When braking, you also have to lean a lot on the rear brake. To which we must add that this is a relatively heavy motorcycle (241 kg with all the fills made).

Can push-ups help reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks in middle-aged people? Doctors say that since this form of exercise works on several muscle groups at once, it can be effective. Besides, push-ups don’t involve high-intensity equipment and can be done easily at home using your own body to build strength. But there’s a caveat. Clear a stress test on the treadmill and then monitor the heart rate during the push-ups before building a rhythm over time. The efficacy of push-ups was actually borne out by a study conducted in 2019 by Harvard University which demonstrated how push-ups prevented diseases, cardiac arrest and stroke. In a study of male firefighters, published in the February 2019 issue of JAMA Network Open, researchers found that men who could complete at least 40 push-ups over 30 seconds had a significantly lower risk of heart attack, heart failure or other cardiovascular problems over the next 10 years compared with men who were able to complete less than 10. WHY PUSH-UPS ARE GOOD FOR CARDIO-VASCULAR HEALTH? The logic is rather simple. A push-up engages your body from top to bottom. It works several muscle groups at once — the arms, chest, abdomen, hips and legs. Besides, they are easily modifiable; you can adjust the angle and speed according to your comfort level. According to Dr Vishal Rastogi, Director, Interventional Cardiology at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, moderate exercises like push-ups are important for the heart as it is a muscle and needs to be worked daily. These can directly affect the heart by improving its tolerance threshold and reducing blood pressure. “Moderately intense exercises reduce the risk of developing sugar, maintain body weight, reduce stress hormones that can put an extra burden on the body and release endorphins which have a lot of healing powers. They improve the cholesterol profile, which means the bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) goes down and the good cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) improves. These obviously eliminate the prospect of blockages developing in the heart. Imagine your heart to be a battery pack. Moderate exercise increases its life and output, trains your heart to handle stress and move blood from your heart to other organs more easily. Your body can extract more oxygen from your blood and keep you energetic throughout the day,” says he.

KARACHI: The outgoing week sparked positivity at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) in a four-day trading week before Eid holidays, which fuelled a rally on the back of investor confidence due to some improvement on the macroeconomic and political fronts. Resultantly, the benchmark KSE-100 index powered past the 41,000- point barrier. Strengthening sentiment, stemming from a host of positive developments, helped sustain a buying spree and lifted the index on Monday. Investors expected an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) soon following finance minister’s assurance about $1 billion support from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bullish momentum accelerated on Tuesday over optimism about strong corporate results and due to rupee’s recovery against the US dollar in the inter-bank market. Investors maintained the bullish trend on Wednesday as well when Pakistan’s current account data for March showed a surplus, the highest in two years, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and market analysts. Furthermore, hopes of positivity on the political front, rupee’s stability and robust financial results aided bullish close of the market. The last trading session before Eid on Thursday witnessed a rally with the KSE-100 index surging over 500 points and surpassing the 41,000 mark, driven by strong corporate result announcements and current account surplus of $654 million. In addition, news reports about a deal with Russia for discounted oil supplies supported the market’s uptrend. The KSE-100 index gained 802 points, or 2% week-on-week, and settled at 41,008 by the end of the week. JS Global analyst Muhammad Waqas Ghani, in his report, noted that investor participation improved by 26% week-on-week. The key performing sector in the outgoing week was fertiliser (+3.8%), mainly on the back of Engro Corporation which gained 14% week-on-week. The company announced a hefty cash dividend of Rs40 per share alongside 1QCY23 results. “Political noise persisted as parliament once again refused to provide Rs21 billion to the ECP (Election Commission of Pakistan) for holding elections in Punjab,” Ghani said. On the economic front, Pakistan’s current account balance for March 2023 recorded a surplus of $654 million, an eight-year high and the third highest in the past 20 years. Key driver for the surplus was the 27% month-on-month increase in worker remittances, a seasonal uptick that was usually witnessed in Ramazan. Lower/ restricted imports also continued to play their role in containing the current account. The same, however, impeded economic growth as the latest large-scale manufacturing (LSM) data showed a fall of 5.6% year-on-year during 8MFY23. During the week, the government raised Rs599 billion through T-bills auction against the target of Rs1,000 billion, the JS analyst added. Arif Habib Limited, in its report, said that the market commenced trading on a positive note as the government announced that the UAE had given its commitment for a loan of $1 billion. “However, the IMF is still seeking necessary financial assurances from other multilateral and bilateral creditors before restarting its loan programme for Pakistan,” it said. According to news reports, Pakistan has shared a revised plan for bridging the financing gap of $6 billion. Additionally, Pakistani rupee appreciated against the US dollar by Rs0.94, or 0.33% week-on-week, closing the week at 283.5/$. In terms of sectors, positive contribution to the stock market came from fertiliser (442 points), commercial banks (235 points), power generation and distribution (76 points), oil and gas exploration companies (55 points), and tobacco (31 points). Negative contribution came from technology and communication (99 points), miscellaneous (33 points), and insurance (21 points). In terms of individual stocks, positive contributors were Engro Corporation (306 points), Dawood Hercules (86 points), Bank AL Habib (79 points), Hub Power (63 points), and United Bank (51 points). Negative contribution came from Systems Limited (105 points), Pakistan Services (31 points), Adamjee Insurance (16 points), Murree Brewery (14 points), and Lucky Cement (5 points). Foreigners turned net sellers during the week under review as they sold stocks worth $0.3 million as compared to net buying of $1.4 million last week, the AHL report added.
