  6. Turkey parliament passes anti-alcohol bill Turkey's parliament has backed a controversial bill restricting the consumption and advertising of alcohol in the predominantly Muslim country. The measure, passed on Friday, prohibits alcoholic beverage companies from sponsoring events and restricts the places where such drinks can be consumed. It also bans the sale of alcoholic drinks between 10pm and 6:00am, but only in shops. Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said that the ban would not affect bars and restaurants, and open air bars and cafes would continue to serve alcohol past 10pm. Supporters of the measure - introduced by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Party, which has its roots in Islam - say the law is seeking to protect society, particularly children, from the harmful effects of alcohol. Critics see it as a sign of increasing conservative policies but Turkish secularists argue the legislation intrudes into private life. TV series, films or music videos are not allowed to contain images encouraging the consumption of alcohol under the new legislation. It also brings stricter penalties on drunken driving. Drivers with a blood alcohol content of more than 0.05 percent will be slapped with a nearly $388 fine and their driving licenses will be confiscated for a six-month period. Drunken drivers with a blood alcohol level over 0.1 percent will face up to two years' imprisonment. The law must be approved by President Abdullah Gul to take effect. He is expected to sign it soon. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government, in power for over a decade, is often accused of creeping efforts to make the country more conservative. Under Erdogan's rule, headscarves - banned in public institutions - have become more visible in public places and alcohol bans more widespread. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2013/05/2013524101622966667.html
  7. Australia plans to ban live betting odds during sports The government has warned that up to 500,000 Australians are at risk of becoming, or are, problem gamblers. Continue reading the main story Related Stories Crowe axes slot machines in club Australia in thrall of gambling mania Australia's gamblers lose more Australia has unveiled plans to ban television and radio broadcasts of betting odds during live sports matches in a bid to curb problem gambling. Gambling advertisements will no longer appear during live events and around sporting venues, the government said. Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Australians had become "increasingly frustrated" with the promotions. The broadcasting industry is expected to submit a revised code to Australia's media watchdog reflecting the changes. "From the moment that the players step onto the field, to the moment that they leave the field, there will be no live odds," Ms Gillard told a press conference. "This is good news for families, because families I think have become increasingly frustrated about the penetration of live odds into sporting coverage." Under the new rules, advertisements would only be allowed before or after a game, or during a scheduled break in play, such as quarter-time and half-time. 'Focus of game' Promotion of betting odds by bookmakers who appear to be part of broadcast teams will also be banned. The National Rugby League, which in the past has allowed bookmakers to give odds during broadcasts, said it agreed with the government's plan. "The overwhelming sentiment is that we do not want to see betting as the primary focus of our game," NRL chief executive Dave Smith said. Fans, and particularly young fans, should not be subject to excessive promotion of betting during matches "We want young kids to be enjoying the skills of their favourite team, not quoting the odds." The broadcasting industry is expected to submit a revised code to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, said the government. It estimates that up to 500,000 Australians are at risk of becoming, or are, problem gamblers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-22677753

  13. One can understand Madoobe wants confrontation (thats all he knows). So I don't expect him to change all of a sudden. But, you and other 'nationalists' should be encouraging dialoque. Talking to the goveernment doesn't mean he is abandoning anything. He could say ok we will talk but this is where we are: 1-4. Talks shouldn't be dependent on acceptance of anything (what would be the point of talking?).
  14. On the flip side, setting conditions for any talks to take place isn't wise and only adds to an already fragile situation. You could say this is understandable coming Madoobe as this zero sum game is all he knows. But, to support such a negative move when there is the possibility for talks/agreement/reconciliation isn't exactly in the best interests of the country.
  15. Guys, let's have more opinion and less 'waxa la yidhi'. xiinfaniin;955978 wrote: ^^if you ignore the noise, this is a beautiful politics , and politics as always is the affairs of those who have the skills to organize and articulate their objectives and resources. In the Jubbaland showdown, and the fight between Madoobe vs Hassan, Madoobe has captured the strategic summit The president wants to host a reconciliation dirin as Baashi would say for Jubbaland leaders on an issue that he and Jubbalalnd leaders fundamentally differ. How could that be managed , only Hassan knows How should it be managed? This has the potential for conflict. Compromise is a must.
