a bid to settle a crisis that
has pitted her government
against Bangkok's conserv-
ative elite and middle class.
The demonstrators
have threatened to shut
down Bangkok after the
New Year, with plans to
block roads in up to 20
places, although the scopeof their protests has not al-
ways matched the promises
made by their leader, Suth-
ep Thaugsuban.
Yingluck has not been
in Bangkok for more than a
week, spending time among
supporters in the north,
but she used social media
to send a message seeking
peace and reconciliation.
On the occasion of
New Year 2014, may I ask
all Thais to be united inmind, to seek a blessing for
the Thai people to love and
harmonize and for those
who differ in views, be it
their political ideology or
belief, to reconcile for a
peaceful resolution for our
nation, she said in a Face-
book post.
The demonstrators
are determined to topple
Yingluck, who they see
as a puppet of her self-
exiled brother and former
premier, Thaksin Shi-
nawatra.
Bangkok's normally
gridlocked streets weremostly clear on Tuesday as
people headed to the prov-
inces for the holiday.

Afghanistan rejects
grim US intelligence
forecast as baseless
KABUL, 31 Dec Af-
ghanistan on Monday re-jected as baseless a US in-telligence forecast that the
gains the United States andallies have made in the past
three years will be signi-
cantly rolled back by 2017.The US National In-
telligence Estimate alsopredicted that Afghani-stan would fall into chaos
if Washington and Kabul
failed to sign a pact to keepan international military
contingent there beyond2014.
President Hamid Kar-
zais spokesman dismissedthe US forecast, reportedby the Washington Post on
the weekend, and suggestedthere was an ulterior motivefor it.
We strongly rejectthat as baseless as they havein the past been proved in-
accurate, Faizi told Reu-ters. Relations betweenAfghanistan and the United
States have grown seriouslystrained recently by Kar-zais refusal to sign the se-
curity pact that would per-mit some US forces to stay.
US ofcials have said
that unless a deal is reached
to keep perhaps 8,000 UStroops, the Talean mightstage a major comeback
and al-Qaeda could regainsafe havens.
The pact must also be
signed for the United Statesand its allies to provide bil-
lions more dollars in aid.Without a deal, the
United States could pull
out all troops, the so-called
zero option, leaving Afghanforces to battle the Taleban
on their own.The United States has
set a Tuesday deadline for
Afghanistan to sign thepact but the White Househas said it is prepared to let
the deadline slip until earlyJanuary. The US intelli-gence estimate predicted
setbacks even if some UStroops remained. But some
US ofcials felt the forecastwas overly pessimistic, theWashington Post said.
Faizi suggested the
leaking of the gloomy USintelligence report was partof bid to press Karzai into
granting the Taleban con-trol of some areas as part of
a peace moves.Reuters
Integral operation of GSDF intelligence,
special units being considered
TOKYO, 31 Dec Japans Ground Self-De-fence Force has been con-
sidering integral operationof its intelligence and spe-cial units since around 2008
for overseas hostage rescuemissions, inltrations intoenemy territory and target
surveillance, former sen-ior defence ofcials told
Kyodo Newson Monday.
The existence of the in-telligence unit was reportedby Kyodo News in Novem-
ber. It has secretly gathered
intelligence abroad sincethe Cold War era without
informing the prime minis-ter, the commander-in-chiefof the Self-Defence Forces,
or defence minister, a prac-tice considered as deviating
from civilian control.While the government
denies its existence, a for-
mer senior ofcial of theGSDFs special unit, whichwas established in 2004 to
counter terrorist and guer-
rilla attacks, said, We needa powerful intelligence unitto enable the special unit to
sneak into enemy bases toattack them.
According to the former
ofcials and other sources, itis envisioned that the intel-ligence unit would be intro-
duced in special operationswith an eye on overseasdeployment of the SDF, fol-
lowing the example of theUS Navy SEALs, known forstorming and killing al-Qae-
da chief Osama bin Laden in
Pakistan in 2011.While the special unit
was created to tackle at-tacks that police forces can-not deal with, its overseas
duties, including recon-struction support for war-
ravaged Iraq, have expand-ed since then. On the otherhand, the special unit has
secretly engaged in drillsfor rescuing hostages over-
seas and inltrating intoenemy territory as well as
conducting reconnaissancefor aerial bombardmenttargets, according to the
sources.Through such train-
ing, the special unit has
found it does not havesufcient capabilities togather information using lo-
cal informants. The GSDFhas already started linking
the reshufe of senior of-
cials in the special unit withpersonnel changes in theintelligence unit. The intel-
ligence unit has set up bases
in countries such as Russia,China, South Korea and
Poland, and several dozenGSDF members have en-gaged in intelligence activi-
ties overseas without legalbasis and by assuming false
identities, such as ofcialsof Japanese governmentbodies other than the De-
fence Ministry and employ-ees of Japanese trading com-panies, according to former
ofcials.Kyodo News

Thailands army moves
to allay coup fearsBANGKOK, 31 Dec
Thailands powerful but
politicized army soughtto ease fears on Mondayit might step in to resolve
a festering political crisis,while anti-government pro-
testers entrenched positionsaround Bangkok as theyseek to disrupt a February
election.The latest round of an
all-too-familiar political
conict in Thailand hasdragged on for weeks.
It ared last week intodeadly clashes betweenpolice and protesters out-side a stadium where reg-
istration for the 2 Februarypoll was under way and at
other rally sites around theThai capital.
The head of the mili-tary added to the grow-ing sense of unease on
Thursday when he refusedto rule out a coup after
those clashes. A police-man and a protester werekilled when an unidenti-
ed gunman opened re,and scores were woundedin the clashes.
The demonstratorsare determined to topplePrime Minister Yingluck
Shinawatra, who they ac-cuse of being a puppet ofher self-exiled brother and
former premier, ThaksinShinawatra.
Thai army chief Gener-
al Prayuth Chan-Ocha saidafter Thursdays clashesthat the door was neither
open nor closed on a coup,and social media acrossThailand has buzzed with
rumours of a coup ever
since. Army spokesman
Winthai Suwaree soughtto play down those fears,telling reporters on Mon-
day that the rumours werecausing confusion andspeculation.

world powers and Iran havemade good progress in ex-pert talks in Geneva on
how to roll out last months
landmark nuclear dealwhich obliges Teheran tosuspend its most sensitiveatom work, a senior Iranian
ofcial said on Tuesday.It was unclear how
close the seven countries
came to resolving all thenumerous practical issuesinvolved in putting the
24 November accord intopractice or whether theyhad agreed on a date to
implement it after all-night
talks. Abbas Araqchi, Iransdeputy negotiator, toldIrans state news agency
only that some issues re-
mained to be agreed at amore senior level. Westerncountries led by the UnitedStates fear that Irans nucle-
ar work has military goalsand have imposed years ofcrippling sanctions on Iran in
an effort to force Teheran tocurb its nuclear programme.
Iran denies seeking to
build an atomic bomb andsays its nuclear work isaimed at power generation
and medical research.
The Geneva gatheringwas the third time since 24November that nuclear ex-
perts and sanctions special-
ists from the United States,Russia, China, France, Brit-ain and Germany had mettheir Iranian counterparts
to work out the implemen-tation of the breakthroughnuclear accord.
In the meeting, whichlasted nearly 23 hours andended at 7 am (0600 GMT),
the sides again sought toagree how exactly Iranwould meet its obligation to
suspend some uranium en-
richment and how westerngovernments would easesanctions in return. The
last meeting ... resulted ingood progress, Araqchiwas quoted by IRNA as
saying. The experts will
present their reports todeputies and political direc-tors because some of the
remaining issues need tobe resolved at the politicallevel.Reuters

NEWYORK,31 Dec The US aviation regulatortook a step toward openingthe skies to aerial droneson Monday, authorizingsix sites where unmannedaircraft can be tested for avariety of uses.
The Federal AviationAdministration already hasapproved limited use ofdrones in the US for law
enforcement, surveillance,atmospheric research andother applications.
But Mondays movewill give companies, uni-versities and other entitieslocations at which to testmuch broader use, suchas crop spraying, catchingexotic-animal poachers ordelivering packages.
It provides the platform
for this research to be car-ried out on a very large scaleacross the country, FederalAviation Administration Ad-ministrator Michael Huerta
told reporters.The rst test site is
expected to be open in sixmonths and the sites willoperate at least until Feb-ruary 2017. The FAA saidthe test sites will be de-veloped by the Universityof Alaska, the state of Ne-vada, Grifss International
Airport in New York state,the North Dakota Depart-ment of Commerce, TexasA&M University at CorpusChristi, and Virginia Poly-technic Institute and StateUniversity, which includeslocations in New Jersey.
The FAA is required towrite initial rules govern-ing commercial operationof drones by 2015. The testsites will operate longer, al-lowing rules to evolve withfurther testing, Huerta said.
Drones are smaller
and less costly alternativesto manned aircraft, andare a growing business foraerospace companies suchas Boeing Co, Northrop
Grumman Corp, LockheedMartin Corp and AeroVi-ronment Inc.
Beyond military ca-pabilities, they also offeruses to businesses and re-searchers. Amazon.comInc recently unveiled plansfor drones to deliver smallpackages to homes.
Global spending on un-manned aircraft will almostdouble to $11.6 billion ayear by 2023, according tothe latest estimate by avia-tion and aerospace industryresearch rm Teal Group.

the NSA had tapped tel-ecoms data from the cablerunning from Marseille toNorth Africa and Asia.
Orange uses the sub-marine cable along with 13other telecoms companies,which collectively operatethe cable.
A steady drip of allega-tions from former NSA con-tractor Edward Snowden

agreed to sell its 35 percentstake to Chinas Sinochemfor $1.56 billion. Shell andONGC, though, exercisedtheir right of rst refusal.
ONGC agreed to $529 mil-lion for the 12 percent stakein October, valuing the entiresale about the same as theamount Sinochem agreed topay.
The additional shareof oil coming to Shell fromBC-10 could see the com-pany jump past ChinasSinochem to become Bra-zils No 4 producer, behindPetrobras, Norways StatoilASA (STL.OL) and Brit-ains BG Group Plc (BG.L),based on October guresfrom Brazils petroleumregulator, the ANP.
Petrobras, as the Bra-zilian company is known,has been selling off assetsin Brazil and abroad in anattempt to raise cash to -
nance a $237 billion ve-year investment plan, theworlds largest corporatespending programme.
Petrobras need forcash has risen as produc-tion from older oil eldshas stagnated and outputfrom new areas comes online behind schedule, forc-ing the company to boostdebt to nance investment.The government has alsoforced the company to sellgasoline and diesel fuel athome at prices below thoseon the world market, caus-ing its rening and supply
arm to lose money as fuelimports rise.
The BC-10 block ishome to Shell and ONGCsParque das Conchas, orShell Park area. Theblock, at the north end ofBrazils Campos Basin,
northeast of Rio de Janeiro,is home to the Ostra, Abalo-ne, and Argonaut oilelds.Shell is the operator of thearea.
Parque das Conchas,which began operatingin 2009, produces about
50,000 barrels a day of oil.The company approved athird phase of the projectin July which could add asmuch as 28,000 barrels aday of oil output to the pro-ject, Shell said.

Pzer, the largest drug-maker in the United States,contravened Chinese lawwhen one of its France-based factories failed to
submit a supplementary ap-plication on time, the ChinaFood and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) said in the state-ment.
With the countryshealthcare spending fore-cast to nearly triple to $1trillion by 2020 from $357billion in 2011, accordingto consulting rm McKin-sey, China is a magnet formakers of medicines andmedical equipment.
Pzer has taken steps

It should not impacttoo much Pzers busi-ness in China and I amsure the imports will be re-sumed once the procedureis complete, said SimonLi, Shanghai-based generalmanager at Kantar HealthChina.

The nal recommen-dations, issued by the USPreventive Services TaskForce and published in theAnnals of Internal Medi-cine, apply to people aged55 to 80 whose smokinghas put them at high riskof cancer. That includesformer heavy smokers whohave quit within the past15 years. Heavy smokersare considered to be thosewho smoked a pack a dayfor 30 years, or two packs aday for 15 years. Accordingto a comprehensive review

of medical evidence since2004, the panel found the
benets of screening high-risk individuals with low-dose computed tomogra-phy, or CT scans, outweighthe potential harms of over-diagnosis and increased ex-posure to radiation, whichalso contribute to cancerrisk.
The panel, which iscomprised of independent
experts and advises US poli-cymakers, gave the screen-ing a B recommendation,meaning it is at least moder-
ately certain that the benetsof the scans outweigh theharms. Under the Afford-able Care Act, insurers arerequired to cover preventiveservices with a grade of Bor higher.
The guidelines are in-tended to help prevent someof the 160,000 annual lungcancer deaths in the UnitedStates, which exceed the to-tal number of deaths frombreast, prostate and coloncancer combined.

of nuclear power under aplan to reduce the propor-
tion of nuclear in the total

Asias fourth-largesteconomy has been underpressure to reduce its use
of nuclear power after ascandal forced the closure

But it did not specify
how many nuclear reactorswould be needed for thatplan.

Officials could be
punished in event of info
leaks in cyberattacksTOKYO, 31 Dec Gov-
ernment ofcials in chargeof information managementcould be punished under thenewly enacted secrecy law if
state secrets leak due to cy-berattacks, an internal gov-ernment document showed
on Monday.The document, com-
piled in November 2011, is
a record of discussions be-tween the Foreign Ministryand the Cabinet Intelligence
and Research Ofce, an in-telligence-collection agency
that oversees the secrecylaw, in the process of draft-ing the law. Responding to a
question from the ministryregarding whether ofcialscould still be held liable
despite the implementationof safety control measures,
the research ofce said theycould, in general terms, beresponsible for intentional
or negligent failure to act.The ministry appar-
ently had in mind the in-creasing number of cyberat-
tacks targeted at diplomatic
establishments abroad, while
the research ofce referredto cyberattacks against somedefence-related companies,such as Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Ltd and IHI Corp,according to the document.Under the secrecy law en-
acted on 7 December to pre-vent the leak of state secrets,
ofcials who leak conden-
tial information due to neg-ligence will face up to two
years in prison or nes of upto 500,000 yen. Meanwhile,those who wage cyberat-
tacks will face up to 10 yearsin prison.
The government will
set up a third-party panel inthe Cabinet Ofce in Janu-ary, which is expected to
advise the prime ministerabout uniform criteria fordesignating and declassify-
ing state secrets. The panelwill also discuss fair admin-
istration of the law. The ideaof punishing ofcials in con-nection with cyberattackswill also be debated by the

Make lms worthy of
praiseAcademy Awards are a set of awards givenannually for excellence of cinematic achieve-
ments. As one of the most prominent award cer-
emonies in the world, the Academy Award cere-
mony is televised live in more than 100 countries
annually. Most recently, the Myanmar Motion
Picture Academy Award ceremony for the year
2012 had successfully concluded. The academy
awards were chosen from the lms out of 17
that were shown in a year. This year saw only
nine academy awards against 11 that are nor-
mally given.
Altogether nine statuettes were awarded,
honoring artists, directors and other personali-
ties of the lmmaking industry for their excel-lent works during the year 2012. It is encourag-
ing to see this year that a child actor won the
Academy Award as a special award. But we are
deeply touched by the fact that there were no
movies in 2012 that won the Academy Award.
And it can be concluded that there were no mov-
ies that met the standard set by the award scru-
tiny and choosing committee.
In his address at the ceremony, Union Min-
ister for Information U Aung Kyi said that mo-
tion picture is recognized worldwide as a high-
value creative industry in knowledge economy.
Creative industry is different from conventional
one. Whereas the latter manufactures conven-
tional products with substantial capital, ma-chinery and labor, the former has its essence in
individual creativity, skill and talent founded
upon innovation and cultural knowledge, and
urged those in the rm world to equip them-
selves with unlimited resources of intellectual
creativity and skill, insight and inspiration.
Nowadays, with TV set, VCD, DVD and oth-
er communication devices, lm production has
been on the decrease alongside movies goers.
This has resulted in a decrease in quality mov-
ies whose scripts are of lower quality. Most of
directors are focusing on the producing of com-
edies usually with a happy ending that are nor-
mally economical. Therefore, it is compulsory to
produce a number of quality lms, of which theAcademy Award winning lms can be chosen.
And only then, will the Academy Award be con-
sidered worthy of praise.

Israel frees Palestinian prisoners,
pushes settlement planJERUSALEM, 31 Dec
Israel set free 26 Palestinian
prisoners on Tuesday as
part of US-brokered peace
efforts, after pledging to
press ahead with plans to
build more homes in Jewish
settlements.
US Secretary of State
John Kerry, whose shuttlediplomacy led to a resump-
tion of the negotiations in
July after a three-year break,
was due to return on Thurs-
day to seek a framework
agreement in talks that have
shown few signs of progress.
Israel agreed to release
104 long-serving Palestin-
ian prisoners the latest
group is the third of four
to go free as part of the
US-led efforts that coaxed
Palestinian President Mah-
moud Abbas back to the
negotiations after a three-
year break.
In tandem with the
prisoner releases in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip,Israel has announced new
construction in settlements
in occupied territory Pales-
tinians seek for a state.
Most of the 26 inmates
going free were convicted of
killing Israelis and almost all
were jailed before the rst
Israeli-Palestinian interim
peace deals were signed 20
years ago.
Palestinians have jubi-
lantly welcomed the return
home of brethren they regard
as national heroes. The fam-
ilies of Israelis they killed or
injured have voiced anger
and mounted unsuccessful
court challenges against
their release.Last week, an Israeli
ofcial said Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus gov-
ernment which includes
pro-settlement parties
would announce plans after
the latest release to build
1,400 more homes for set-
tlers in the West Bank.

Kinshasa, dozens killedKINSHASA, 31 Dec
Congolese troops killeddozens of armed youthswho attacked the airport, a
military barracks and state
television headquarters in thecapital Kinshasa on Monday
in incidents claimed by adisgruntled religious leader.
Before transmission

Paul Joseph Mukungubilaand against President JosephKabila.
The pastor, who callshimself a prophet and onceran for president in 2006,
later told the BBC that theattacks were in responseto government harassment
of his supporters. Its thefth time the brothers were

Several corpses layon the rain-soaked groundoutside the brightly painted
gates of the state televisioncenter after the attack, a
Reuters witness said. The
broadcaster reported that
security forces had killed 46
of the attackers, while gov-ernment ofcials said about20 more had been arrested.
Shortly after the clashes,
soldiers in the eastern miningprovince of Katanga attacked
a church run by Mukungu-bila, who has railed againstKabilas decision to make
peace with Tutsi rebels ineastern Congo, saying thepresident was under the
inuence of Rwanda.
Witnesses said the ght-ing in the regional capitalLubumbashi quickly sub-
sided. Security forces found
arms and ammunition in thechurch, sources toldReuters.
We have total controlof the situation, said gov-ernment spokesman Lambert

Russia stepped up security
nationwide on Monday after
two blasts in the southern
city of Volgograd left at least
32 people dead and score of
others injured.
The United Nations,
China, the United States
and many other members of

Dutch fireworksnuisance
hotline receivesover 42,000complaintsTHE HAGUE, 31 Dec
The Dutch reworks nui-
sance hotline received over42,000 complaints and sev-eral people were hurt in acci-
dents with reworks, Dutchmedia reported on Monday.
Regional fractions of theDutch political party Groen-links set out the initiative for
the hotline. The party wantsto map the size of reworksnuisance and also pleads for
a reworks restriction, but amajority of the Dutch parlia-ment is against a restriction.
In the Netherlands, itis legal to buy reworksfor four days prior to the
New Year celebrations.Fireworks can be set offbetween 10 am (0900GMT)
on 31 December and 2 am(0100 GMT) on 1 January,2014, with those who break
the rules facing a ne of 100euros (1.379 US dollars).
We would only like to
see reworks during profes-sional reworks shows. This
is what happens in many oth-er countries. It would give allthe benets of the reworks,
but with minimal disadvan-tages, the organizers stated
on their website.Xinhua
More earthquakes recorded inGroningen due to gas extraction
THE HAGUE, 31 Dec
Gas extraction in Groningen
in 2013 caused a record num-
ber of earthquakes, Dutch
national broadcaster NOS
reported on Monday.
This year a total of 127
earthquakes were measured,
compared to 80 quakes in
2012. This coincides with
a signicant increase in gas
production. The Dutch Pe-
troleum Company (NAM)collected 52 billion cubic
metres of gas from the ground
in 2013, 10 percent more than
last year.
Experts expect a new
earth quake record in 2014.
In January this year the State
Supervision of Mines (SSM)
reported that increased gas
production since 2000 of
about 20 up to 50 billion
cubic metres per year has
not only led to a rise in the
number of earthquakes but
also to an increased risk of
severe earthquakes.
The heaviest earthquakein recent years in Groningen
was on 16 August, 2012, near
Huizinge, with a magnitude
of 3.6 on the scale of Richter.
The study of SSM
showed that the number of
earthquakes is not expected
to decrease in the short term.
Only with a very drastically
reduction of the gas or even
a stop, it is expected after
several years virtually no
perceptible earthquakes
will occur in the Groningen
gas eld.
According to the NOS,
the Dutch government maytake a decision on a possible
reduction of getting gas in
Groningen next month.

Cambodia aims to adopt law on
access to information in 3 yearsPHNOM PENH, 31 Dec
The Cambodian govern-
ment said on Monday that alaw on access to informa-tion will be adopted in three
years.Information Minister
Khieu Kanharith said at aneditors forum organizedby the Club of Cambodian
Journalists in Phnom Penhthat the law on access toinformation will be adopted
by the end of 2016 or early2017.
The law is important as
it will help provide infor-mation of all sources fromthe government to citizens,
particularly through jour-nalists, he said.
When asked why it willtake up to three years to
have the law adopted, Kh-ieu Kanharith said it needsto be fully explained to all
parties concerned so thatthey better know the signi-
cance of this law for goodgovernance.
Cambodia has spent
more than a decade work-ing on this draft law. Theformation of a new gov-
ernment in July committedto reforming all the gov-ernments bodies in depth
including the media sectorfor wider access to infor-
mation has spurred momen-tum.
Cambodia adopted a
press law in 1995 but jour-nalists and citizens say it is
not enough.About 100 editors from
both print and electronic
media attended the one-dayforum. The Club of Cam-bodian Journalists is the

Japan to support road network expansion in AsiaMUMBAI, 31 Dec
The Japanese government
is planning to help im-prove transport connectiv-
ity in South and SoutheastAsia by renovating exist-ing roads and building new
ones, sources familiar withthe matter said on Monday.
The infrastructure sup-
port, aimed at strengthen-ing economic ties withinthe regions including India
and Myanmar, comes in re-sponse to Chinese-led pro-jects to link southern China
and South Asia by road andrail.
The Japan Internation-
al Cooperation Agency will
be responsible for drawing
up plans for nancing andconstruction. It will inviteofcials from Bangladesh,
Bhutan, India, Myanmar,Nepal and Thailand to NewDelhi in mid-January to
brief them on site surveys,the sources said.
Japan expects to con-
rm with India the plan toproceed with road-buildingprojects in January when
Prime Minister Shinzo Abevisits the country, they said.
The Japanese projects
are expected to improveroad connectivity between
Bangladesh, India, Myan-
mar and Thailand while
giving Bhutan and Nepalbetter access to coastal ar-
eas. Aging road infrastruc-ture and constraints on
network capacity and ef-ciency have become bar-riers to trade between the
countries.The economies of
Bangladesh, India and My-
anmar, for instance, wouldbenet from new roads inareas where land transport
infrastructure is underde-veloped or inefcient.
Japanese companies
operating in the regions arealso likely to prot frombetter land transport con-
nectivity, which would im-
prove their supply chains.
But such infrastructuredevelopment may not im-mediately lead to improved
trade between countrieswhere diplomatic issuesneed to be resolved rst.
Bangladesh, for in-stance, has limited cross-border trade with India and
Myanmar due to diplomaticconstraints.Kyodo News
