Russia slammed over jail verdict Jailing of punk band draws criticism from around the globe

By Justyna Pawlak and Piya Sinha-Roy

E

UROPEAN nations and the United States, as well as some celebrities, voiced sharp criticism of Russia yesterday over jail sentences handed to three members of the punk band Pussy Riot who protested against President Vladimir Putin in a church.

Catherine Ashton, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said the twoyear sentences give to the women were “disproportionate” to the crime and added to the intimidation of opposition activists in Russia.

The United States expressed disappointment over the verdict and also called the sentences disproportionate.

The three women were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for performing a “punk prayer” in Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral in which they called on the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of President Vladimir Putin.

“Together with the reports of the band members’ mistreatment during pretrial detention and the reported irregularities of the trial, it (the verdict) puts a

serious question mark over Russia’s respect for international obligations of fair, transparent and independent legal process,” Ashton said.

“This case adds to the recent upsurge in politically motivated intimidation and prosecution of opposition activists in the Russian Federation, a trend that is of growing concern to the European Union,” she said in a statement.

Human rights groups urged Russian authorities to overturn the verdict and free the three women, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30.

In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement: “While we understand the group’s behaviour was offensive to some, we have serious concerns about the way that these young women have been treated by the Russian judicial system.”

The Pussy Riot case, seen as a test of the extent of Putin’s tolerance of dissent, has added to the strain already placed on relations between Moscow and European governments by their opposed positions on

While many areas remain taboo in Cyprus, organisers of the second annual Erotica festival hope to bring things into the mainstream Zoe Christodoulides is told WHILE pole dancers and erotica shows in Cyprus tend to be associated with seedy backstreet joints and cabarets, one local is adamant to bring about change as the annual Sex and Erotica Festival springs to life.

Organised for the second year running, the event is touted as being bigger and better than last year, when it formally took place at the Technis Dromena Gallery in Nicosia.

Now set to take place behind the doors of the Secrets Freedom Club in Larnaca this coming Saturday night, the adult occasion will be following on from popular European trends which see large scale exhibits and festivals dedicated to erotica spring up in various cities.

The festival aims to open the gates to a potentially more liberal community and 21st century mindset, as lo-

‘There’ll be retroesque dancers, strippers, coco boys and lesbian dancers’ cal organisers point out that it is now time for Cyprus to embrace the change. “This was about an idea to make things progress a little. Just look at places like Berlin and how the general public enjoys erotic exhibitions as art,” says the main organiser of the event, George Karaviotis.

The annual London Erotica Exhibition is also a huge deal, attracting over 60,000

visitors in the three days it remains open each year. Although we may not quite be able to compare ourselves with countries that have long embraced the idea of public erotica, the upcoming show is hoped to be a good start.

“We really want to point out that this is not just some sleazy event,” says the event organiser. “It’s not a sordid dirty sex orgy. It’s about embracing the artistic and sensual side of sex.”

Last year’s occasion lured in a sizeable crowd, with people from all walks of life taken over by curiosity. “Even couples in their 40s and 50s came along to see what it was all about and gave us really good feedback,” recalls George.

But why the switch this year from a more approachable gallery space to an underground club? “We wanted the event to become more of a party, something which also characterises the kind of shows that takes place abroad.” As for the venue itself, it usually functions as a gay club. But organisers point out that this has no resonance on the kind of festival which will be taking place this weekend. “This is an event for everyone: straight people, homosexuals, bisexuals. There are no limitations whatsoever.”

For the upcoming occasion, the venue will be revamped and decorated erotically by a professional art director.

One part of the space will be dedicated to the more cultural and artistic adornment of sex. Exhibits will include phallic and nude sculptures and scriptures; not to mention antiques and novelty erotica movie posters. The display will also include a small library of erotica books.

A pornographic film from the 1940s will also be projected.

“We really wanted to show that there is an overtly artistic side to sex, one that also goes way back in time,” explains George.

Not just about ogling sensual art however, crowds will also have the chance to have a good old boogie as party music plays in the background.

Various entertainers will be weaving their way through the crowds for added excitement. “There’ll be retro-esque dancers, strippers, coco boys and lesbian dancers.”

“Shows will be put on by both genders so there are no restrictions as to sexual orientation,” George points out. “But let’s make it clear; we still have taboos in Cyprus and we can’t quite go as far as they do abroad. There will definitely not be a live sex show involved. I don’t think we could pull that off just yet.”

DISY and DIKO set a date for new meeting

By Natalie Hami OPPOSITION parties DIKO and DISY have set August 30 for a new meeting to tie up loose ends on the Cyprus issue and to further discuss the economy, they said yesterday.

The two parties met in an effort to iron out differences so they could take the final steps in cementing collaboration for next year’s presidential elections, exchanging documents with their positions and proposals. Following yesterday’s two-hour meeting both DISY chief, Nicos Anastasiades and DIKO leader, Marios Garoyian said that they had made ‘steps forward’ as well as ‘converging’ on certain issues. “(We had) a constructive dialogue, the result of which was to converge on most issues,” said Anastasiades. The new meeting will centre around a few loose ends, along with discussions on the economy.

Garoyian said that they had a creative and fundamental discussion on the Cyprus problem and that they had exchanged documents.

“There was progress….. (however) there are issues that need to be discussed further, and we intend to do this on August 30,” he said. Garoyian also referred to forming a government of national salvation which had featured in initial talks with Anastasiades. “A government of national salvation is needed to give hope to people,” he said.

Anastasiades agreed; “The need for setting up a government of national salvation is necessary more than ever.”

Several hours after the meeting, government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou hit out at both parties: “We will continue to seek dialogue with the parties even if the opposition’s attitude eliminates any room for dialogue,” he said. “The ones who are killing any prospect of understanding and teamwork are Mr Anastasiades, his party and the opposition in general.

Day in and out they blame the government for the problems in the economy and hinder the promotion of policies to address those problems,” he added. “Mr Anastasiades and his party put petty and electoral interests above the interests of Cyprus. It is for the people to judge the credibility of Mr Anastasiades.”

Is Christofias set to bail out before the bailout?

‘Even if the President does resign, he won’t get off scot-free with the troika’

By Elias Hazou THERE has been some speculation in the media but also on the street as to whether President Christofias is going to jump ship before his term is up in March, to avoid taking the blame for agreeing to harsh bailout terms with the ‘troika’.

Idle gossip that sells papers, or is there more to it? In late July, Politis ran a story saying that the scenario of an early exit was being discussed at the top echelons of ruling AKEL. On the following day government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou was quoted as saying in Simerini that there was no such question as the bailout terms were not known yet.

That could be construed as a case of not completely denying the resignation possibility.

Lending some credence to this theory have been the pledges of resistance to an austerity bailout by the public sector unions and subsequently by the co-op movements, both closely controlled by AKEL. The defiant rhetoric of AKEL as well as of Christofias also indicate that the President would not be too keen on signing a bailout providing for 15 per cent pay cuts, reductions of state pensions and privatisation of semigovernmental organisations.

It’s no secret that the government’s invitation to the troika to come here has been half-hearted.

The pro-government media has been fostering an anti-troika sentiment.

AKEL mouthpiece Gnomi recently ran a banner headline calling for “Resistance to the troika’s terrorism”.

And in remarks in late July Christofias suggested a global financial conspiracy is behind the ongoing credit crunch.

“There is an international – allow me to say – conspiracy which is called ‘the markets’. These so-called markets are the highway robbers of the world,” Christofias told his audience.

“They are out to subjugate entire peoples and exploit them,” he went on to say.

It’s been suggested that the government had wanted to delay asking the troika here in a bid to push back as far as possible a probable memorandum – the bailout deal.

One commentator has suggested AKEL was initially counting on the starved state coffers to hold out until March 1, 2013. This way, in the event of defeat in the general elections, the responsibility for signing the memorandum would fall on others. AKEL, it is said, in its role as main opposi-

Something up his sleeve? Will Christofias last the course? tion party, would then wage ‘guerilla warfare’ against the bailout – a tactic commensurate with its image as ‘the party of the people’.

That’s the reason why, it’s said, the government has not given up on the prospect of securing a €5 billion interstate loan from Russia, in the hope that the cash will keep the government afloat up until the elections.

Failing to pay civil servants’ salaries now, in the run-up to the elections, would be devastating.

But the government’s planning seems to have been off by several months, meaning an EU rescue package would come much sooner than anticipated.

That has now left Christofias and his AKEL cohorts no other option but to get out of Dodge – or so the story goes.

Article 44 of the Constitution states that “in the event of a vacancy in the office of the President [including a resignation], the President of the House of Representatives… shall act, during such vacancy, as President.”

Entertaining this hypothesis, should Christofias step down the House Speaker will take over as acting President for a period not exceeding 45 days. The Constitution provides that

after this 45-day period, by-elections are held.

The new President would remain in office until February 2013, when fresh elections would be held.

Assuming Christofias were to resign in September or October – which is when the bailout deal would be signed, according to the Finance Minister – that would mean the Presidentelect would serve for only three of four months. He then would step down as elections would be proclaimed, as normal, in February next year.

There has been no parallel in the history of the Republic. The only time the office of the President was vacated occurred in August 1977 on the death of then President Makarios.

But what happened next was not exactly textbook.

The late Spyros Kyprianou, then House Speaker, took over as acting President for 45 days. The political parties agreed that, for practical reasons alone, Kyprianou should serve out the remainder of what would have been Makarios’ term (until February 1978), after which elections would be held.

But then in December a bizarre incident took place involving the alleged abduction of Kyprianou’s son Achil-

leas. In the ensuing political turmoil, Glafcos Clerides, who was planning to contest the Presidency, announced that given the situation he was backing out of the race. Kyprianou, uncontested, was proclaimed President for five more years in March 1978.

So will Christofias bail out before the bailout? Opinions vary.

“He’s so unpredictable, I wouldn’t put it past him,” says lawyer Pavlos Angelides. “The man has been harping on about the global conspiracy of capital… personally, I think he’s lost touch with reality.”

“On the other hand, even if Christofias does resign, he won’t get off scotfree with the troika. That’s because the troika people have told us in no uncertain terms that they want the broadest possible majority here to push the bailout deal through our parliament. Remember, the austerity measures will have to be voted by law.

“And the word out there is that DISY, DIKO, EDEK, the European Party and the Greens have all pledged to the troika to put their signature on a bailout agreement. So AKEL, even if they find themselves out of power, will have a lot of explaining to do if they are the cause of scuppering a bailout deal.”

For political analyst Christoforos Christoforou, the cons of absconding far outweigh any benefits AKEL may reap from disassociating themselves from an austerity programme.

“Frankly, I see little to no political gain from an early resignation,” Christoforou told the Sunday Mail.

“It’s somewhat far-fetched.”

According to the analyst, the vast majority of the electorate already blames the current administration for the state of the economy anyway.

Polls released in July indicate that even one-third of AKEL voters feel the financial crisis has been worsened through government inaction.

“Bottom line, it’s rather too late for the government to wipe the slate clean vis a vis the economy. If the President steps down now, he may be lauded by the AKEL hardliners opposed to the EU bailout, but overall the electorate will see him as fleeing his responsibilities.

“There’s also the little matter of the EU Presidency. It would be extremely embarrassing for the President to step down at this time. Also, the uncertainty created by delaying a bailout would bring about a worsening of the economy, and that in turn translates into more votes lost.

“So whichever way you dice it, the government is in a bit of a pickle.”

Cats seeking new home

CYPRUS TODAY

A group of wild cats being looked after near the Ayios Neophytos monastery in Tala may need to be relocated after residents’ complaints

Critical condition after 3m fall

By Bejay Browne A GROUP of feral cats living in Tala in Paphos being cared for by a team of volunteers will have to find a new home after the local council says it has received numerous complaints from nearby residents.

“The cats will have to be moved for their own safety and well being. Many are being knocked down on the nearby road, and others are straying from their current home and venturing further down the hillside into people’s gardens,” said Tala community board member Cathi Delaney.

The cats were moved to their current residence about a year ago, which is further down the road from their initial home close to the car park of Ayios Neofytos monastery in Tala.

As numbers grew, the cats were moved for health and safety reasons, to an area about 50 metres away. The piece of land was provided by the monastery.

Delaney said some residents had complained, adding that the village council was concerned for the cats’ safety.

“Personally I love cats, but some people are not fond of them. If they are perceived

A 46-YEAR-OLD Greek Cypriot man is in critical condition at Paphos hospital after a 3m fall during the early hours of yesterday.

“At around 5am police were informed there was someone injured in an area of Paphos, close to his home,” said Paphos police spokesman Nicos Tsapis.

Paphos police say the man had parked his car in the underground car park of a nearby shop and as he was walking down to it, lost his balance and fell the rest of the way down the ramp. Police sources said they suspect he may have been drunk. According to Tsapis the man suffered injuries to his head.

Feeding time at the monastery: volunteers to help with keeping the cats fed are always being sought to be a nuisance then we could have a spate of poisoning on our hands and no one wants that. It’s in the best interests of the cats that they are moved to a more suitable home.”

The animals are fed and cared for by a group of local volunteers who are now desperate to find a suitable and cheap piece of land in the area, to which the cats will

AIRBORNE FORCES ASSOCIATION, CYPRUS If you wear or have worn the coveted Parachute wings then be aware that there is an Airborne Forces Association in Cyprus which meets on a regular basis throughout the year. The aim of the Association is: To foster the spirit of comradeship and to further the friendship established in Airborne Forces. All past and present members of Airborne Forces of all nationalities are welcome to join. The next occasion we meet is on Arnhem Day which will be celebrated on the Episkopi Base at the EpiskopiCommunity Church at 11:15hrs on Sun 23 Sep 2012 . Lunch will be available afterwards.

be moved to.

The team of volunteers purchase food for the animals with their own money and also uses the assistance of local animal charities, PARC and Paphiakos when required.

A recent statement by the group said: “After recent meetings with those in authority locally, we can now confirm that we have no option but to relocate all of our beautiful feral cats if we wish to continue caring for and feeding them.”

They added: “We desperately need to find a suitable plot of land to rent – cheaply - on a long term basis.” In the meantime, the group this week staged a major clean up of the area currently inhabited by the cats.

The volunteers say any land needs to have running water - and an existing electricity supply, although not essential would be prefer-

able.

“It doesn’t matter if there are buildings on the site or not. We would possibly be looking to fence a large area to keep the cats semicontained, although this would require some serious fundraising, as they would require a fair amount of

space.”

Their aim is to relocate the cats safely in a “controlled, calm and safe way” while time is still on their side.

Volunteers to feed the cats are also always required – as either a casual or regular feeder.

The volunteers stress that people should not dump unwanted cats at the monastery. Instead they should contact Paphiakos which specialises in finding animals new and loving homes.

They say: “Not only is it dangerous to bring new cats into the pack as they can bring with them disease, but they may also be attacked by the other animals.”

‘Whale ribs, meteorites and chairs’ The live online feed of the Ballard expedition off Cyprus makes for fascinating viewing FROM something that might possibly be a fossilised whale bone to several broken sunbeds, the live feed from the exploration of part of the seabed off the island’s southern coast makes fascinating viewing.

Famed explorer Robert Ballard’s expedition over the Eratosthenes Seamount is currently collecting images during sweeps of the area using the latest technology to explore the sea oor some 70 miles off the island.

After two days of exploring, the team’s underwater robots, operating at 800 to 1,000 metres, yesterday reached the summit of the Eratosthenes, going over terrain from a previous sweep and then turned west to head to unexplored territory to the west.

They said they would go ďŹ ve or six kilometres before descending the summit.

On Friday night they came across what appeared to be fossilised rib bones commentators suggested might have come from a whale, perhaps even 40,000 years old.

Commentators on the live feed described the ďŹ nd as “spectacularâ€? and marked it as a target for further examination.

In another area what are believed could be fossilised mammal vertebrae were also spotted, and later yesterday the ROV picked up what was thought to be a meteorite. “That’s what we’re calling it until someone tells us different,â€? said one of the team. While images deemed signiďŹ cant must be sent for examination to determine the exact nature of what was recorded, there was no doubting the nature of the two sunbeds found at 85 metres, or the third some distance away an hour or so later.

Other bits of metal including what looked like a small metal bowl or an ashtray were also found.

Watchers were also treated to a close-up of a kiteďŹ n shark, totally black with huge eyes, and other sea creatures such as clams.

Speaking via satellite phone from his ship the EV Nautilus, Ballard told the Cyprus Mail he and his team, which comprises of

geologists, marine biologists and oceonologists, would remain off the coast of Cyprus for the next two weeks. The expedition’s main aim is to examine the Eratosthenes Seamount, one of the largest features on the Eastern Mediterranean seaoor and about 120 km long and 80 km wide.

Its peak lies at the depth of 690 metres and it rises 2000 metres above the surrounding seaoor. “There is a trench just to the south of Cyprus and the trench is trying to eat up the Mediterranean as it comes towards them, this is the collision which is going on between the African plate and the Eurasian plate,â€? said Ballard, famed for his discovery of the Titanic.

He said the intense undersea activity is responsible for many of the earth tremors felt in Cyprus.

Past explorations of the area have shown the existence of a liquid that might contain methane EV Nautilus is equipped with state-of-the-art exploration technology and remotely operated vehicles

Screen grab from the live feed of what could be fossilised whale rib bones named Hercules and Argus, which are being used to view the seaoor with high deďŹ nition video, take environmental measurements and collect geological and biological samples.

In addition to the Eratosthenes Seamount project, Ballard says that Cyprus will feature on a television special to be broadcast on National Geographic Channel later this year.

The entire expedition is being streamed live by satellite to the internet at www.nautiluslive.org and following Cyprus, Nautilus will head north to conduct mapping operations in the Southeast Aegean Sea near Bodrum, Turkey.

Mavrou reassures local authorities they have the support of the state INTERIOR Minister Eleni Mavrou yesterday said the government would continue to stand by local authorities despite the difficult economic climate.

Mavrou, herself a former mayor, was speaking at the inauguration of the ‘Culture Square’ in Fasoulas, Limassol. She also said that local government was capable of facing the challenges.

Referring to yesterday’s event, she said the cost of the renovation work to the square totalled about €240,000 of which a considerable portion was covered by the state, said Mavrou.

She clarified that the biggest portion of the cost of development projects in rural areas was covered by the state budget.

“Projects like this one (are) aimed at the development of communities and the improvement of residents’ quality of life,” said Mavrou.

She also said that in an effort to support residents the government was implementing a series of housing projects for young people and to attract newcomers to the area.

Meanwhile, government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said the announcement on Friday that the brakes were being put on some development projects concerned works that had not yet matured, and others no longer deemed necessary.

Mavrou announced on Friday that the

state was putting on the brakes on a series of planned public projects with a view to saving €140m by revoking land expropriations now considered surplus to the state’s needs.

At the current stage, the decision has been taken to revoke land expropriations worth over €64m, a significant part of which - €23.5m- accounts for interest owed on the state’s debts.

Expropriations were made in 2006 for the Paphos-Polis proposed highway and for the technological park in Pentakomos when neither project was anywhere near ready for implementation, burdening the state budget without any direct result, argued the minister.

The redesign of the highway will likely result in limited expropriations again in the near future, she added.

Regarding the technological park, the project is still under study, while the state owes €29m for expropriations of which €10m counts for just the interest owed. Following a review, the state decided that it only needs a third of the land earmarked for the project.

Projects such as the urban waste management units, the Larnaca marina and the archaeological museum are some of the projects which will continue as they have already begun, spokesman Stefanou said yesterday.

EU-wide speed clampdown is due to begin tomorrow A WEEK-LONG speed enforcement operation, co-ordinated by the European Traffic Police Network (TISPOL) and supported by 27 countries across Europe, begins tomorrow.

The operation, which involves both static speed detection and roadside officer intervention, forms a key part of TISPOL’s strategy designed to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on Europe’s roads.

Excessive speeding is among the three road killers and is a leading cause of road accidents in young people aged between 18 and 25.

TISPOL President Pasi Kemppainen warns: “Driving too fast is dangerous – potentially fatal. This applies whether you are exceeding a specific speed limit or driving at a speed that

may be at or below the limit, but is inappropriate for the circumstances. The faster you drive, the higher your risk of being responsible for a collision, in which innocent road users might lose their lives or sustain permanent disability.

“Wise drivers of any age choose their speeds with care and with consideration to others.

Those who choose otherwise can expect to receive penalties. Police officers enforce the law because they know that lives will be saved.”

TISPOL is committed to reducing death, serious injury and crime on Europe’s roads. Its activities are guided by research, intelligence, information and experience, to produce measurable results that contribute to reducing casualties and making roads safer.

World

Russia slammed over jail verdict for Pussy Riot (continued from front page) the crisis in Syria. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the sentence was “excessively harsh” and “not compatible with the European values of the rule of law and democracy to which Russia, as a member of the Council of Europe, has committed itself.”

“A dynamic civil society and politically active citizens are a necessary precondition for Russia’s modernisation, not a threat,” she said.

British Foreign Minister Alistair Burt said in a statement that the verdict “calls into question Russia’s commit-

ment to protect fundamental rights and freedoms.” Although celebrities such as Madonna, who had spoken out against the charges previously, did not comment on Friday, others took to Twitter to voice their concern.

Rocker Bryan Adams tweeted “Outrageous ... Russian singers jailed just for speaking their mind?”

On his Twitter account, “Lord of the Rings” actor Elijah Wood posted “a shame to hear the Pussy Riot were found guilty, but not surprised.” Amnesty International said the trial was politically motivated and the women were wrongfully

prosecuted for a legitimate, if potentially offensive, protest action, adding that the verdict was “a bitter blow to freedom of expression” in Russia.

Amnesty “considers all three activists to be prisoners of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs,” it said in a statement.

“The Russian authorities should overturn the court ruling and release the members of Pussy Riot immediately and unconditionally,” said John Dalhuisen, director of Amnesty International’s Europe and Central Asia Programme.

Europe’s main security and rights body,

the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said the verdict was part of a growing tendency towards curbing freedom of expression.

“I see a trend in various countries where the authorities, social and religious groups and courts are taking a more restrictive stance on content considered to be offensive, morally questionable or dangerous for children,” said Dunja Mijatovic, the OSCE in Europe’s Representative on Freedom of the Media.

“Most of the time it is a pretext for censoring content that is simply not mainstream and critical,” Mijatovic said.

Philippines interior minister missing

Kim visits army unit behind 2010 shelling of South Korea

THE Philippines interior minister and two others went missing after a light plane carrying them crashed at sea off a central island yesterday, an army spokesman said.

A search for the plane and its passengers was called off late yesterday because it was too dark and the water too deep for craft available, police said.

Jesse Robredo was on his way to his hometown in the central Camarines Sur province from Cebu when the propeller-driven Cessna plane he was on malfunctioned and the pilots decided to land at the nearest air field on Masbate island.

Robredo, 54, is an ally of President Benigno Aquino.

Witnesses saw the plane plunging into the water, about 500 metres (1,640 feet) from the runway. Robredo’s police escort was rescued by fishermen and brought to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

“They were not able to make it to the airport,” Colonel Generoso Bolina, an army spokesman told reporters, saying they immediately sent search and rescue teams, but could not find any wreckage.

Reminds troops of duty to fight ‘sacred war’

By Sung-won Shim NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited a frontline military detachment, state media reported, and reminded troops of their duty to fight a “sacred war” against any provocation by South Korea.

His visit, and his recent resumption of “field guidance” to military units, precede annual war games by allies South Korea and the United States.

The military drills are scheduled to begin tomorrow and continue until August 31.

State news agency KCNA said Kim, who came to power in December 2011 after the death of his father, visited the same artillery unit that launched a deadly attack on South Korea’s Yeonpyeong island near the western sea border two years ago.

This undated photo released by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency yesterday shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un (C) looking towards South Korea from a North Korea observation post (AFP) Kim inspected the unit on Mu island, which KCNA said was “stationed in the biggest hotspot in the southernmost part of the southwest front”.

The report was released on Friday and was monitored in the South yesterday.

“He ordered the service persons ... not to miss their golden

chance to deal at once deadly counter-blows at the enemy if even a single shell is dropped on the waters or in the area where the sovereignty of the DPRK is exercised,” KCNA said of Kim’s guidance to his Democratic People’s Republic of Korea troops.

Kim also said the Korean

People’s Army should then “lead the battle to a sacred war for national reunification, not confining it to a local war on the southwest region”, KCNA reported.

He also observed that Yeonpyeong island was “clearly visible” from the post on Mu island, according to KCNA.

Pyongyang, impoverished and isolated, has periodically used the term “sacred war” to counter what it sees as a threat from the South and its key ally the United States.

It has also branded this month’s military drills “an allout war rehearsal” for an invasion of the North.

Seoul and Washington say the drill, which will mobilise more than 85,000 servicemen, including some 30,000 US troops, is only for defensive purposes.

In February, the North raised its level of military alert after South Korean and US military staged live-fire artillery drills in the same area near the disputed sea border off the west coast.

The North’s shelling of Yeonpyeong island in November 2010 killed four people, including two civilians, and was the first attack on civilians since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. The two sides are technically still at war, having signed only a truce rather than a peace treaty.

It was not clear from the KCNA report when Kim visited the military unit on Mu island. KCNA reported earlier this month he had also visited an army unit identified only as “Unit 552”.

China decries Japanese group’s plan to visit near disputed isles CHINA lodged a formal protest with Japan yesterday over plans by a Japanese nationalist group including lawmakers to hold a ceremony commemorating Japanese dead from World War Two near disputed islands in the East China Sea this weekend, state news agency Xinhua said.

The group of more than 100 people travelling in a flotilla of boats is expected to arrive near the islands this morning. Japan’s government has denied the group permission to land on the islands.

HIGH-LEVEL OPPOSITION The report said China had lodged “solemn representations” with Japan over the matter, a term official media uses to indicate a particularly high level of diplomatic opposition.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said that China had urged the Japanese government to immediately “stop the action that seeks to undermine China’s territorial sovereignty” over the rocky, uninhabited isles known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China, Xinhua said.

Japan on Friday sent home Chinese activists who were detained on Wednesday after landing on one of the islands.

China welcomed the return of the activists, but also warned its neighbour against any further escalation in tension.

Japan occupied much of China during the war and colonised the Korean peninsula, resulting in territorial disputes that continue to dog relations with its neighbours nearly seven decades after the end of World War Two.

World Damascus denies that Assad deputy tried to defect

Veteran UN diplomat in new peace bid Brahimi to resume efforts to tame Syria crisis LAKHDAR Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign minister and veteran United Nations diplomat known as a strongwilled, independent broker, will replace former secretary general Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria.

Brahimi, 78, who served as a UN envoy in Afghanistan and Iraq, would resume efforts to find a diplomatic solution to Syria’s crisis, said Eduardo del Buey, deputy spokesman for current secretary general Ban Ki-Moon.

“The violence and the suffering in Syria must come to an end,” del Buey said. “The secretary general appreciates Mr Brahimi’s willingness to bring his considerable talents and experience to this crucial task for which he will need, and rightly expects, the strong, clear and unified support of the international community, including the Security Council.”

Annan announced earlier this month that he would

resign on August 31 as joint UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, after failing to broker a ceasefire as the country descended into civil war. The UN says at least 18,000 people have been killed since March 2011.

NY, CAIRO VISITS Brahimi will travel to New York and then Cairo, in the coming days.

He said he realised his brief was “an extremely complicated and very, very difficult mission”, but hoped military intervention was not necessary, saying talking about a military option was akin to admitting diplomatic failure.

US secretary of state Hillary Clinton welcomed Brahimi’s appointment, saying he “will continue the pursuit of an end to the conflict and a peaceful transition in Syria”.

“My message to special envoy Brahimi is simple: the United States stands ready

to support you and secure a lasting peace that upholds the legitimate aspirations for a representative government of the people of Syria.

“And to the Syrian people: you are not alone. The international community remains fully committed to a Syrianled political transition leading to a pluralistic political system representing the will of the people.”

Brahimi, who emerged last week as the leading candidate to replace Mr Annan, brings a long record of working in the Arab and Islamic world.

He served as Algeria’s foreign minister from 1991-93 and joined the United Nations in 1994, where he served in a variety of high-profile posts until he retired in 2005.

As an Arab League envoy, he helped negotiate the end of Lebanon’s civil war.

Several UN diplomats said Brahimi had delayed taking the job as Syria envoy

While admitting his mission was ‘very, very difficult’, Brahimi said talking about a military option to Syria’s strife was akin to admitting diplomatic failure (AFP) because he wanted a signal of support from the security council. What kind of support he wanted remained unclear.

Gerard Araud, the French UN ambassador and current security council president, has called the special envoy post something of an “im-

possible mission” and said he could understand why someone would take their time before deciding to take it.

Annan said when he announced his resignation on August 2 that the security council’s divisions prevented the united approach needed to stop the fighting in Syria.

SYRIA denied reports yesterday that President Bashar al-Assad’s deputy had defected and his forces pressed an offensive against rebels, bombarding parts of Aleppo in the north and hitting an insurgent-held town in the oilproducing east.

Vice-President Farouq alShara “never thought for a moment about leaving the country”, said a statement from his office broadcast on state television issued in response to reports that the veteran Baath Party loyalist had tried to defect to Jordan.

Assad, battling a 17-monthold rebellion led by Syria’s Sunni Muslim majority that has turned into a civil war, has suffered a string of defections, including his prime minister Riyadh Hijab two weeks ago.

Shara, whose cousin - an intelligence officer - announced his own defection on Thursday, is a Sunni Muslim from Deraa province where the revolt first erupted against Assad, from the minority Alawite sect which is an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam.

The 73-year-old former foreign minister kept a low profile as the rebellion escalated, but appeared in public last month at a state funeral for three of Assad’s top security officials killed in a bomb attack in Damascus.

Opinion The people need problem solvers, not national saviours OVER THE next few months the first ever presidential campaign that will not have the Cyprus problem as its main issue will commence. With the troika set to finalise its bailout terms in this period, there will be much more pressing issues for the candidates to address than whether the bicommunal federation would have the correct content or whether there would be weighted voting for the presidency of the federal state.

For the first time the stance of the candidates of the Cyprus problem will be of no relevance or interest to voters, who will want to know how soaring unemployment will be tackled, how the rising cost of living will be checked, how the economy will be revived and how the state will be made solvent again.

People will want to hear practical solutions for the mounting problems faced in their daily lives rather than hollow rhetoric about the unattainable, perfect solution to the Cyprus problem. This

would be a major break with the past 30 years when, conveniently for the candidates, there was only one issue in the elections, allowing them to focus on zero cost patriotic platitudes while ignoring the growing weaknesses of the economy such as falling competitiveness, the unsustainable public sector pay-roll, total dependence on oil for energy needs, rising wages totally out of step with productivity increases and a host of other problems.

In fact the only promise made in relation to the economy by candidates in the past, was that they would increase state spending, which they invariably kept, constantly increasing the need for state borrowing.

The compulsory change of agenda will suit none of them, as they are all comfortable with the national problem discourse which is never backed by action.

EDEK-backed, candidate, Giorgos Lillikas for instance, thought that by positioning himself as the

Cyprus Mail

new hard-liner on the problem, he could justify his decision to stand for election. He is standing because of his desire to pursue a more assertive and aggressive policy in the Cyprus problem and his initial plan was to be the candidate of hard-line parties, blessed by the Archbishop. He declared he would call a halt to President Christofias’ catastrophic handling of the problem and adopt a tougher approach that would ensure a fairer solution.

Does anyone care in the current climate, in which people do not know whether they will have a job to go to tomorrow, where businesses are closing down and the struggling banks are turning the screw on everyone? We think not.

Any attempt to put the Cyprus problem back at the centre of public debate has failed. AKEL

and the presidential palace have repeatedly tried, as this would divert attention away from the precarious state of the economy, but nobody has taken the bait.

Neither their unprovoked attacks on the transformation of the DISY candidate’s position on the problem nor their continual championing of the bi-zonal federation has been taken up.

On Wednesday, after the church service, Archbishop Chrysostomos also tried to bring the problem debate back to life, by expressing ‘deep concern’ about the course the national problem had taken, and urged people to be on alert because the signs were bad.

This was probably an attempt to spark debate and help his favoured candidate Lillikas, whose candidacy seems meaningless without the problem being top of the election agenda, but nobody showed the least bit of interest.

This is no bad thing as it is an opportunity for Cyprus politics to grow up. The theories about

the Cyprus problem could be put aside and presidential candidates could tell us how they propose to put the country on the road to recovery. Gone are the days of telling people what they want to hear. Candidates now have a responsibility to talk about unpleasant things, like austerity measures, restructuring the public sector, cutting union power and privatisations, as election campaigns are also about proposing painful remedies for longstanding problems.

It should be made clear that without the painful remedies, the recovery we all want will never happen.

Our national survival, which politicians regularly pay lip service to, no longer depends on taking a tough stance in negotiations with the Turks, but on taking unpopular practical steps to save our economy from complete destruction. In these elections people will not be voting for national saviours but for problem-solvers.

Letters to the Editor

Cyprus has a lot Keep a close eye on to be proud of your bank charges How considerate of Sue Butler to write in to your newspaper (Sunday Mail August 5) and provide us with a bit of added amusement.

We have all had an unfortunate experience on our travels but this person seems to have stumbled from one disaster to the next during her stay in Cyprus.

Her comments cannot be taken seriously and are an insult to the hard working members of the services sector in Cyprus.

I have been visiting Cyprus since 1974 and I have lived here for five years and never experienced rudeness from Cypriots or any other nationalities for that matter. Cypriots are renowned for their wonderful hospitality and placid personalities. Unfortunately there are always those individuals who are overburdened with a yoke of negativity. May I suggest that some visitors miss the true treasures of Cyprus, namely the wonderful mountain villages where there are plenty of locally-made quality produce in places like Omodos, Lefkara, Agros etc. It’s no coincidence that the number of Russian visitors continues to increase, and many of these people come back on multiple occasions. I wonder why?

So let’s applaud the people of this wonderful island and in particular the extraordinary achievements of one Pavlos Kontides, a wonderful example to us all.

Mystified no longer Your article on ‘The God Particle’ (Sunday Mail July 8, 2012) states that photons are not affected by Higgs. I think you are wrong.

When I was in the 3rd form at School in 1942 we did an experiment focusing a ray of sunlight on a small windmill coated silver on one side of the wings and black on the other. The windmill turned, showing that sunlight had mass.

I have been mystified by this until recently. I heard Peter Higgs explain that when photons hit something solid, Higgs particles are released, one of the few things which Sir James Jeans had not postulated in the 1930s.

When my bank, Alpha Bank, has a new product or wishes to inform its customers of summer/winter opening times and so on, they display announcements.

Each time I log-on to my on-line banking page, these announcements are displayed on my ‘home page’.

Yet, now they have revised their Bank Charges, issuing a new catalogue on May 27 this year, they did not announce it. I wonder why? Have any of the other Cyprus banks announced theirs? They have each issued new charges catalogues this year.

I downloaded a copy of the new catalogue to note increases and new charges. To satisfy my curiosity I also downloaded the charges catalogue for the other major Cyprus banks and I have drawn a short comparison. As I also bank with Barclays UK, I have included their charges in the comparison.

This comparison shows that for Alpha Bank the ac-

cutting back to pay the ridiculously high price. Is Tourism not an industry? We cannot export it, but it is one of the main industries in Cyprus. It would appear that the EU has one rule for the rich and another for the poor. I feel that Cyprus should lobby the EU to bring attention to this matter and make it one of the main complaints to the troika when they return here.

Recent references by the media to the potential use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria brings to mind the circumstances surrounding the inability to find such weapons in Iraq before, during and after the war, by the UN Observers as well as the military. It is well documented that during the period immediately before the invasion of Iraq that large convoys of vehicles, many of them heavy goods, were seen heading for the border with Syria and subsequently crossing.

During the late 1980’s I was employed by a London-based company who were involved with the engineering and construction of fertiliser plants in Iraq.

Such fertilisers provide the basis for chemical weapons production, and there is no doubt that such a purpose was in mind at this time.

I am not aware that any such plants were being constructed in Syria, and certainly not by my company who were specialists in the field.

If as it now seems Syria is in possession of such weapons, how were they acquired?

Is it not possible that chemical weapons from Iraq were included in the cargoes exported, or smuggled, into Syria at the time immediately prior to the Iraq war? If so this could be interpreted as a significant ‘Twist in the Tale’?

count statement was €1.70 in 2009, and is now €2.40 per page to a maximum of €4.80 as of May 27.

Bank of Cyprus charges €2.50 to a maximum of €5 for statement and service charge for current account as of April this year.

The Popular Bank, like Barclays, issues a current account statement for free as per its new charge sheet issues on July 27 this year.

Hellenic Bank charges €3 per page for an account statement as of March this year.

This is the charge which most disgusts me. A process now done by computer that will cost mere cents to produce and mail, is charged for, so extortionately.

Can you imagine how many account statements a bank will send, each month, to immediately earn God knows how many per cent clear profit, in the process?

In my opinion, this charge is excessive profiteering, providing easy, free income. If you are on Internet

Banking, cancel your paper statements and save yourself money and ‘Go Green’.

When you receive your bank statement, do you examine it, or merely look at it? Doubtful you will ever find an accounting error, but do you ever question the charges that may be listed?

A bank cannot make any charges which are not listed in its Charges Catalogue which must be displayed and available to its customers.

Any amendments to the catalogue must be published 30 days prior to implementation. This I was informed by the Cyprus Bank’s Controller, who is The Central Bank of Cyprus. Compare any charges with those listed in their catalogue; you may be surprised.

The charges catalogues may be obtained from your bank or downloaded from its website.

Good start for Cyprus presidency If the unknown unknowns are kept at bay, the island could just about pull it off

F

IRST, allow me to be explicit about my personal preferences. I would like the Cypriot Presidency of the EU Council to succeed. I cannot claim that I am solely motivated by patriotic fervour. I work with EU institutions and personal interest does play a role here.

Since the assumption of the EU Presidency by Cyprus, I have been monitoring the websites of the Presidency itself, the Council and of the press room of the EU. I have also been tuned in to what others say about the Presidency.

So far, everything seems to be running smoothly and there has been no real criticism of the handling of any dossier by the Presidency.

But then we are still in the early days, there is a lull in the activities of the EU due to the summer recess while the problematic issues of the multiannual financial framework, agricultural and regional reform and, of course, the eurozone crisis are scheduled for in-depth discussion only later in the year.

The first press conference of the Presidency on July 24 was uneventful and the press room in Brussels was sparsely attended. Deputy Minister Andreas Mavroyiannis was a bit hesitant at the beginning but he did reasonably well despite the excessive use of the phrase “going forward” whenever he wanted to signal that further negotiations between the Member States would follow. Mavroyiannis

Comment Phedon Nicolaides may not be a dazzling public speaker but he is a seasoned diplomat who counts his every word. I wonder how other Cypriot top officials will fare under the unrelenting glare of the Brussels press corps.

The Danes got excellent marks, especially the Prime Minister, who impressed both in Brussels and, I understand, in Cyprus.

Comparisons are unavoidable and in this sense perhaps Cyprus is a bit unlucky because it will be tough to follow the polished Danish performance and adept handling of a number of heavyweight portfolios during the first six months of the year.

More generally, Denmark is, by any measure, one of the

Planning ahead and taking into account events that have a high probability of occurrence are not our strong point

Bright spark: no but seasoned diplomat Andreas Mavroyiannis has held his own against the EU press corps better members of the European Union. It is, for example, one of the few member states that almost always applies EU rules promptly and correctly.

A way of determining how well EU rules are implemented in a country is to count how often that country is hauled before the Court of Justice by the European Commission and how often it wins or loses against the Commission. I, therefore, decided to compare Cyprus’ record before the Court to that of Denmark which is probably the best – a bit unfair but revealing comparison.

The next step was to set the cut-off point for the period of comparison. I thought January 2007 was appropriate.

Since Cyprus acceded to the EU only in 2004, it enjoyed a period of grace of a couple of years. Indeed, the Commission initiated proceedings against Cyprus for the first time only in 2007.

A quick search of the database of the Court of Justice for the period 2007-2012 indicated that the Commission lodged just two cases

against Denmark. Implicitly Denmark admitted it was at fault in both cases because it complied with the request of the Commission before the Court rendered its judgment. However, since it complied only after the Commission initiated proceedings against it, Denmark still had to pay the Commission’s legal costs.

In the same period 20072012, the Commission lodged eight cases against Cyprus, of which one is pending. The Commission won six and lost one of the cases that have been concluded. The case won by Cyprus concerned the transparency of public procurement procedures. Cyprus lost outright two of the other cases earlier this year.

They concerned the protection of endangered species and the construction of telecommunications networks.

The other four cases were similar to those of Denmark.

Cyprus implicitly admitted it was at fault because it eventually complied with the request of the Commission but still had to pay the legal costs of the Commission because

compliance came only after the Commission initiated proceeding against it. This is not a good record, especially when Cyprus ended up paying large legal costs that could have been avoided.

Now, legal performance and legal compliance do not say much about how Cyprus will fare at the helm of the European Union. But they do reveal that planning ahead and taking into account events that have a high probability of occurrence are not our strong point.

The success of other Presidencies was not a miracle.

It was the result of detailed planning, close coordination and hard work. Just as the former US Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, famously said, there are the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. In the case of the EU Presidency, the known unknowns are the items on the Council’s agenda. They will take many sleepless nights, but in the end they will be resolved, even though no one knows the shape of the eventual agreement. The unknown

unknowns are the current economic crisis, the unpredictable swings in investor mood and, as far as Cyprus is concerned, developments in Greece and Cyprus. It is extremely difficult to even imagine all of their consequences and implications.

But for sure it will be very embarrassing if the country that holds the EU Presidency fails to reach agreement on the financial assistance that it so desperately needs from the EU and its partners.

It is indeed unfortunate that Cyprus has assumed the EU Presidency when it is itself in a pretty bad economic condition and the eurozone seems to be lurching from one mishap to another. If the unknown unknowns do not materialise then it should not be too difficult for Cyprus to do a good job.

I will follow with regular reports on the performance of the Presidency during the rest of the year.

No need for bailout if civil servants paid their way Comment Loucas Charalambous THERE is little doubt that for the bankruptcy of our country there are two guilty parties – the politicians and the unionists. The biggest share of the blame most certainly belongs to the politicians as they took the decisions.

It was the politicians who in the last 35 years were committing the crime of borrowing money and distributing it among the civil servants as higher salaries, allowances, bonuses and pensions. This was how they bred the all-devouring Minotaur that is the state sector.

And with it were the Minotaurs of semi-governmental organisations, municipalities and state companies such as Cyprus Airways.

In the end the Minotaur ate up the state, leading to bankruptcy. Faced

with the catastrophe, most politicians appear to have recognised the seriousness of their crime. We are now witnessing a clear change in their attitudes with the exception of the members of AKEL who have adhered to the demagoguery of the past.

The rest now admit that the problem was caused by the unacceptable inflation of the public sector payroll. On the other side are the union bosses and protectors of the public employees, who still pretend not to see the cause of the problem.

The behaviour of Pasydy boss Glafcos Hadjipetrou was particularly infuriating. He has now decided to cite the constitution. This is what he said last month: “The constitution exists to be implemented for everyone. Someone cannot say I work elsewhere, my employer has no problem and therefore I have no obligation to take a load off the

public burden. If we all contribute our share we would easily get out of recession.”

The audacity of the man is boundless. The reason the state is bankrupt is because the provision of the constitution which says, “each contributes to public burdens in accordance to his capabilities”, was scandalously violated in favour of public employees, enjoying superprivileges at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers, who were paying for their exorbitant salaries as well as their ultra-generous pensions and retirement bonuses.

The numbers of course speak for themselves. According to the official figures of the finance ministry, the total cost of salaries of civil servants (not the broader public sector) in the six years from 2006 to 2011 was €11,509,696,000. The cost of civil servants’ pensions and retirement bonuses for the same period was €2,485,106,000 bringing the

total cost to just under €14 billion.

Until the middle of last year, civil servants did not contribute anything towards their pensions and still contribute nothing towards their retirement bonus. It should also be noted that their pensions are on average twice as high as private sector workers receiving the same remuneration.

If civil servants paid the same contributions as private sector workers to the Social Insurance Fund and Provident Fund (about 15 per cent of their salary) the amount that would have been saved in this six-year period would have been about €1.75 billion. And if we added the interest paid by the state on loans for paying civil servants, the total saving would have been close to two billion euro.

Today the public debt is €14.5 billion. Considering the state would have saved €2 billion in the last six years through the contributions of

the civil servants even if they carried on receiving their exorbitant salaries and pensions it could safely be concluded that if they were contributing the full amount to Social Insurance and the Provident Fund for the last 35 years, Cyprus’ public debt today would have been zero.

And we would have no need for the support mechanism or the troika now. I repeat, this would have happened simply if the civil servants (even with the super high pensions they receive) paid the same contributions as private sector workers. In short the constitution’s provisions would have applied to everyone.

Hadjipetrou’s audacity is provocative in citing the constitution, which was being violated for decades so he and his colleagues in the civil service could lead a life of luxury on borrowed money, which he now wants the non-privileged taxpaying citizens to repay.

PhoenixGate: signs of ailing value system?

There’s more to overseas investment than promoting the sale of villas

Young and business savvy technocrats are needed if Cyprus is to get its fair share of investments from overseas

A

S SMOKE and mirrors continue to distort the truth around the most recent scandal, our judgment is impaired. Or is it? We are referring to the imbroglio involving Chinese investor Yang Qi, a Cyprus domiciled company named Far East Phoenix, the former Ambassador of Cyprus to China and until recently head of the Diplomatic Office at the Presidential Palace in Cyprus, HE Mr Ieronymides, his wife, the Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency (CIPA), tight friendships and last, but certainly not least, the Cypriot tax payer.

Our eyes may be stinging from smoke and our judgment distorted, but looking at the Cyprus political and business world, we see the symptoms of an ailing value system: lack of transparency, muddling of personal friendships and national interest business deals and conflict of interest.

Transparency International (www.transparency.org) defines corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. In 2012, Cyprus is ranked 30th out of 183 countries for transparency with a score of 6.3 out of 10. Cyprus also has a Very High Human Development Index, ranked 31 out of 187 countries. Countries with Very High Human Development Index typically have low corruption rankings.

Comment Marina A Theodotou and Stavros A Zenios As of today, citizens have not heard about the details nor about the process of evaluating a business and investment deal of national proportions. But this should come as no surprise: Cyprus is the only country in the European Union without an Access to Information Law. CIPA, the agency for the promotion of Cyprus as an investment destination, has operated since 2008 without a single success story of a Greenfield investment.

Apart from a few promotional events lacking strategic follow up, and a couple of legal and regulatory reforms, CIPA has yet to show any Greenfield investment. Touting sales of villas to foreigners simply does not count. Not by international standards anyway.

According to Investopedia. com, a greenfield investment is a form of foreign direct investment where a parent company starts a new venture in a foreign country by constructing new operational facilities from the ground up and creating new jobs in that country. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defines Foreign Direct Investment

(FDI) as “an incorporated or unincorporated enterprise in which a single foreign investor either owns 10 per cent or more of the ordinary shares or voting power of an enterprise or owns less than 10 per cent, yet still maintains an effective voice in management”. In addition, the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development definition of FDI does not include sales of villas either. CIPA is funded by the Cyprus taxpayer (who is now also largely unemployed).

It is not uncommon for investment promotion agencies to hire local expertise to further business investments from that country. CIPA hired Qi to represent the investment interests of Cyprus in China for €1,000 per month.

It appears that Qi may have also used this relationship to further his own business interests in Cyprus. Qi is a Director of the Phoenix Far East company, where the Cyprus Ambassador’s spouse, a business executive, was also a director until her recent resignation. Incidentally, the registered capital of Phoenix Far East was also €1,000.

Now, let’s take a different angle. Let’s give ample benefit of doubt to all the protagonists and situations described above, and let’s look at investing in Cyprus from the outside. Foreign companies scouting for Greenfield investment locations look at

key factors, both qualitative and quantitative. The first level of due diligence includes reviews of key reports from the World Bank, The World Economic Forum, Transparency International, UNCTAD etc. In addition, investors look not just at the country itself but also at peer countries that share similarities such as geographical location, tax regime and education levels. A peer country to Cyprus is Malta. Also a small, island country economy in the Mediterranean, Malta entered the EU and the eurozone on the same dates as Cyprus. In 2010 the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) signed Memoranda of Understanding with the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the two main financial services regula-

tors in China to allow Chinese banks and financial services firms to invest into regulated funds based in Malta. In 2011, Malta attracted €86 million in FDI investment from China.

Cyprus shows €11 million.

Could it be that CIPA has evolved into one more bureaucratic government outfit in need of strategic vision, leadership and results? Of course, foreign direct investment is welcome to Cyprus.

At the writing of this article, Ambassador Ieronymides has resigned and returned to his post at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Has that resolved the quagmire? Probably not. So, where do we go from here?

Back to basics: Strengthen transparency with an access to information law; eliminate conflict of interest by reinforcing firewalls and good governance; refresh leadership at

key decision and policy making posts with the new generation of young and business savvy technocrats. Several citizen initiatives have been formed in Cyprus recently, actively conducting whistleblowing and proposing new paths for change. This comes as proof that a new breed of empowered citizens exists in Cyprus and seeks a way through smoke and mirrors.

Christofias policy a threat to services sector in Cyprus AS A DIRECT result of the vision and initiative of the accountancy and legal profession, and the continuing support of past governments, the Cyprus international business services sector has experienced rapid growth during the past 20 years, firmly establishing the island as a viable and credible financial centre and direct foreign investment jurisdiction.

The direct benefits of this successful drive are numerous and substantial: billions of euros arising from VAT imposed, income and defence taxes have bolstered state finances over this period, while the large cash deposits placed in Cyprus banks by these international companies (estimated at over €30 billion presently) have provided local banks with much needed liquidity and shielded them from the financial crisis experienced over the past five years. In addition, and during a time when the rest of the business sectors of the Cyprus economy have been shrinking, or at best, stagnating, pushing the unemployment to historic highs

Comment John Mavrokordatos of almost 11 per cent, this services sector has created thousands of new, high quality jobs.

The key success factor for these achievements in the past, besides the professional and skilled services provided to clients, was the certainty and comfort provided to these foreign clients that Cyprus had the necessary legislation and independent institutions to ensure absolute confidentiality when it came to their financial affairs and status here. The most notable example of this took place during 2003 when tremendous pressure was brought upon the Cyprus government at the time by the Russian authorities to disclose confidential information relating to the well-known Yukos Khodorskovsky case for alleged tax evasion and money laundering. The Cyprus government of the day as well as the Central Bank steadfastly re-

fused to do so citing perfectly legitimate reasons. This stance won Cyprus much respect and proved a significant catalyst in the increase of international business to date. Any sensible, progressive government would encourage and promote such an industry.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with this government, led by the self-professed communist President, Demetris Chistofias and AKEL, who are actively following an opposite direction to that adopted in 2003 as described above, no matter what the economic cost to the local economy.

It appears that with the forthcoming presidential elections in February 2013 in mind, which they have conceded they cannot win, they have decided to adopt a deliberate ‘scorched earth’ policy and leave behind a barren economic desert for the new government. Christofias views the EU with huge suspicion and scepticism, while his anachronistic communist ideology and loyalty has made him a puppet of Russia and

more specifically the Kremlin. He regards the ‘troika’, which he himself called in to provide financial support, as the enemy which will impose onerous conditions on the government requiring structural changes to the over-privileged, bloated and unproductive government sector.

It is for these reasons that he has requested a €5 billion loan from Russia, irrespective of the terms and (certainly the non-transparent) conditions that will be imposed for such a loan. With this loan, he believes that he can meet the government’s funding requirements until the expiration of his term, without having to make any cuts to spending, and especially to government employee salaries and pensions, which will please the government sector trade unions, his perceived biggest supporters.

This ‘strategy’, is highly dangerous and will certainly push the economy to complete destruction since our budget deficit and external loans will balloon to unsustainable levels. Furthermore, his blind

subservience and attempts at the ingratiation of the Kremlin to obtain this loan will make Cyprus a protectorate of Russia. Already, requests for confidential and personal information requested by Russian authorities are granted by the Cypriot authorities and enforced

by Cyprus anti-money laundering units without a problem and recourse to Cypriot law, especially the one relating to confidentiality and non-disclosure as enshrined in the Cyprus constitution.

There is no doubt that once this government ‘policy’ becomes known among Russian (and nonRussian) clients, the services sector will experience a huge flight of clients, together with their capital to more secure jurisdictions.

This will be a devastating blow and cause irreparable damage to this vital sector and the economy at large, creating huge liquidity problems for the local banks.

Cyprus’ international credibility is being gravely undermined and will be totally destroyed under the present government.

History’s bandits and matchmaking In part two of a look at a Turkish Cypriot family through a historical novel the next generation takes centre of an equally crowded stage

‘B

Y rediscovering the past we can predict the future’ was how I ended last Sunday’s first part review of Ozay and Sevgi Mehmet’s historical novel, Uzun Ali: Shame and Salvation, wherein I first introduced readers to the authors’ father, Ozkan (meaning new blood), their uncle Munir and paternal grandparents, Uzun Ali and his wife number three who, like all women during late 19th century Ottoman Cyprus, existed as a mere chattel in an exclusively man’s world, one in which the British administration dare not meddle.

Since we all have two sets of grandparents, it is only right and proper that I give space to the authors’ maternal grandparents, and I will begin with their maternal grandfather, Halil Osman, a low ranking policeman employed at Police HQ in Seray Square, Nicosia. He lived nearby in a stone fronted house on Tanzimat Sokak with his new wife, Eminè, daughter of a wealthy Agha (landlord) muktar of Pineview village (Trapezi, situated below the north facing Pentadactylos outcrop of rocks) who Halil’s parents coerced into marriage to curtail his wantonness, especially his unquenchable thirst for alcohol (raki) followed by women of any shade, status, origin or religion.

In those days, thieves were rampant in the hills, stealing sheep from local shepherds. Ordinary folk travelled in oxdrawn carts, some requiring a two-day journey to reach Nicosia via mountain passes ‘teeming’ with bandits (fondly known in the Republic today as lawyers, bankers and property developers). The Ramsbottom group of notables were waylaid by a gang just west of Kyrenia en route to Lefka (the citrus garden of Cyprus), Lady Ramsbottom relieved of a priceless diamond studded brooch presented to her by Queen Victoria.

Halil Osman was fully conversant with the Kyrenia district terrain and led the search for the infamous Midas Gang, well loved a la Robin Hood by the locals, Halil indulging in ‘distractions’ at overnight village inns/cafés throughout the entire, eventually successful, two week diamond brooch search.

Yet not a year after his marriage to Eminè, Halil abducts one of his many ‘distractions’, Elana, a Maronite lass from the Catholic village of Kormakiti, transporting her in a mule-drawn cart by moonlight to live upstairs from Eminè and her newborn baby girl, Aygul (grandmother and mother respectively of the authors) transforming their home into a harem.

Banging away upstairs on creaky floorboards all night, every night, drove a

uotes of the week “Yes, let’s parade emaciated size 0 models. We’ve had far too many healthy female athletes on our screens over the last fortnight” Sally Bercow gets a trifle sarcastic.

“I’m not somebody who would ever watch sport but I was consumed. I wept like a baby” Jon Snow, Channel 4 newsreader admitting to suffering from postOlympic blues

Since the invasion the two communities have lived in their own worlds

Comment Hermes Solomon distracted Eminè, in a sudden and uncontrollable fit of jealousy, to stab Elana to death with a kitchen knife, thereafter ending her days diagnosed as demented in a Nicosia mental asylum.

Halil, his libido (Ozay reminds us ad infinitum) ‘the size of which more than exceeded the normal’, serves a prison term as the person directly responsible for Eminè’s crime, which might never have been committed had Elana been of the Muslim faith.

At this stage of general family disorder, baby Aygul is delivered to Pineview to be brought up by an aunt, Pembe, the village matchmaker, who becomes the girl’s surrogate mother, marrying her off to Munir’s half brother, Ozkan (yet another low ranking policeman) at the tender age of 15, the wedding ceremony performed and recorded by the local Hodja (names and dates chalked on the inside door of a wardrobe) on the same day as Munir is arrested as prime suspect in the murder of his Irish girlfriend, Mary, a crime committed by his bastard son (conceived when Munir raped a 16-year-old maidservant) at the Buyuk Han, Nicosia, where Mary was staying at the time.

Now then, unlike his libidinous half brother, Munir and disgraced and equally rakish father-in-law, Halil, Ozkan’s marriage to Aygul was tardy in its consummation, he unexpectedly not endowed with a libido ‘the size of which more than exceeded the normal’. He escapes ‘village gossip’ when posted to the copper mining town of Xeros, where the Anglo American Mining Company ruled the roost as well as the island’s economy, importing thousands of destitute migrant workers from Anatolia and Greece to settle in the company’s new housing estates with their free health care, schools and a hospital, from which Ozkan and his wife, Aygul, greatly benefited, producing two children, first Ozay, followed some six years later by Sevgi.

Watching their children grow up in dust laden Xeros did not conform to their idea of Kemalist modernism; the teaching of Latinised Turkish in a classroom of 12 pupils aged between five and eleven (girls restricted to learning to memorise the Qur’an, but not write lest they secretly communicated with

‘the boys’), drove Ozkan to request a posting back to Nicosia, where Munir, his now wealthy lawyer half brother, had the ear and eye (ta mesa) of the British administration, his altruism directing the kids to the English School and then on to universities, wherefrom Ozay emigrated to Canada to become Dean and Professor Emeritus of Economics at Carleton University, Ottawa and Sevgi, a history professor at Ankara University, joining forces half a century later to research and write, Uzun Ali: Shame and Salvation.

While purchasing their book from a north Nicosia bookshop, I entered into an affable conversation with a small group of middle aged Turkish Cypriots who, in broken English, unanimously asserted their dislike of their mainland masters, calling themselves Cypriots, (neither Turkish nor Greek) seeking little else for Cyprus than two federated states ruled by a common government.

I found their gently voiced assertions somewhat enigmatic given the past social history of the island which, if my reading of the book is anything to go by, clearly states the oneness of Muslim Cypriots with their ‘motherland’, Turkey, whether Ottoman or the new Turkish Republic preaching modernism under the ‘victorious’ leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal.

Indisputably, education, language and religion build an identity and thereafter, a nation. And in Cyprus, from the time of the Ottoman invasion of 1570 until the present day, both denominations have lived in their own worlds (never more so since 1974), each brainwashed separately, the one through the teachings of the Qur’an and/or Kemalist modernism, and the other by the Orthodox Church, each emphatically alien to the other.

This predilection is inescapable when Ozay and Sevgi compose a 450-page historical novel containing innumerable Muslim named participants combined with a cursory mention of but two Christian named Cypriots, one being Hajicosta, a cuckolded hillside café owner, whose wife is willingly seduced by Halil by moonlight in a citrus grove, and the other, the bandit gang leader, Midas.

I wonder why, no, not why Mrs Hajicosta was willingly seduced and most Greek speaking Cypriots were bandits, but why in a book covering more than a century in time, they are the only named Christian Cypriot participants, when an Armenian corn merchant of the Jewish faith, David, is given two entire chapters and an Armenian midwife, another. After all, and like most of my fellow Greek speaking compatriots, my ego is endowed with a vanity ‘the size of which more than exceeds the normal’!

Every disaster imaginable

THE COMRADE’S continuous toadying to Russia’s autocratic ruler Vladimir Putin, in the hope of securing a €5 billion loan that he thinks would safeguard the privileges and extortionate wages of public parasites, has alarmed the financial services sector.

Members of the sector are terrified of the possibility that the comrade, now that he has total control of the Popular Bank and has the Central Bank Governor under his thumb could offer confidential information about Cyprus-based Russian businesses to Putin in exchange for the loan.

This would be the end of Cyprus as an international financial centre and the final nail in the coffin of the banks, the survival of which is dependent on keeping the deposits of foreign businesses that amount to more than €20 billion.

If word was out the comrade was furnishing Moscow with info about foreign businesses there would be a mass exodus of companies and not a euro would be left in the banks. This has not happened yet, but you could put nothing past the clueless comrade, who seems on a mission to take the economy back to the Stone Age. THE FEAR is that the comrade, who has stupidly presented the securing of this loan as our salvation, would do anything to get positive answer from Putin. The embarrassment he would suffer from a possible Russian rejection, is too horrific a prospect for him to consider, as it would constitute yet another personal failure.

Would he be prepared to sacrifice the economy in order to protect his image among the ever-shrinking minority of idiots who still think he is an adequate president? Of course he would and he has proved it during his four-and-a-half years in office, preferring state bankruptcy than unpopularity among the public parasites and union bosses.

He has consistently placed his image and personal standing above everything. The AKEL propaganda machine is geared exclusively at protecting the image of the great leader, routinely attacking his critics and throwing dirt by the truckload on his perceived enemies; it has not been very successful, as his pisspoor approval ratings indicate.

He would happily carry on playing the role of Putin’s puppet to get his hands on the loan, which would give him a success that he could brag about.

WOULD Putin give a €5 billion loan to a clapped-out president who only has six months left in office and could only be of use to Moscow for such limited period

The Laiki Conspirary: which of these two, Sarris (left) or Vgenopoulos is most likely to have left home without his cowboy hat? of time?

I hope not, even though there is the danger that the servile comrade could have already started passing on confidential information in the hope of persuading the persecutor of Pussy Riot to hand over the cash.

This would hardly be a surprise, considering all the other favours he had done Mother Russia during his presidency, giving the impression to our EU partners that we were a Moscow satellite state.

Among other things, he prevented UN inspectors from examining the cargo of the Monchegorsk, allowed the Russian spy wanted by the US to flee the country, took a stand against Syria sanctions at the EU and allowed the Russian ship carrying weapons for the Assad regime to sail to Syria in spite of EU sanctions.

All these favours were repaid with the €2.5 billion loan we were given at the start of the year.

What would the comrade have to thank Putin for a loan twice as high, in a period of just six months?

Given the high levels of incompetence attained by the president, I would not be surprised if we received the loan, fell into disrepute as an international financial centre, the banking sector collapsed and to cap it all, we were forced to impose even more painful austerity measures than those initially proposed by the troika. With the comrade as leader every disaster imaginable is possible.

TEN DAYS after Michalis Sarris was forced to resign as chairman of Popular Bank by the Governor of the Central Bank acting on the instructions of the government, there has still not been an official explanation for the reasons behind the decision.

The only person who said something about the issue was Sarris, explaining that Professor Panicos had asked him to step down, informing him that this was also what the government wanted.

End of story.

Last Monday, after a report that Sarris had been kicked out for refusing to give a loan to the AKEL football club Omonia, gov-

ernment spokesman Stef-Stef, felt he needed to speak out. The report, he said was “a vile lie”, adding that Sarris resigned “on instructions from the regulatory authority, the Central Bank, with which the government agreed.”

But why had Professor Panicos forced Sarris to resign? As it was his decision and he was not following the president’s orders he is responsible for coming up with an explanation for his decision. If he can’t think of a convincing one, maybe he should ask the government for its help.

THE DUTY for providing a lame excuse for Sarris’ sacking fell to the government mouthpiece Haravghi, which published a front page article on Friday, claiming the reasons for his removal were “deep and serious”.

First there was conflict of interest, as Sarris was a director of another eight companies, two of which had loans worth millions from Popular Bank. Second, Sarris had misled people by claiming he would be able to cover the bank’s re-capitalisation needs by raising capital from private sources, as he knew this was not possible. He did this, according to the intrepid Haravghi reporter, in the hope the old Governor would have his term extended by another five years and thus be able to prevent an ‘in-depth investigation’ of the Popular Bank.

Sarris would have carried on hiding the ‘huge deficits and losses’, and only ‘presented the real picture of the bank when there was a change of regime at the Central Bank’ and the new Governor decided to order an in-depth investigation of the banks.

A tidy little theory, which may have been quite convincing had Sarris not publicly spoken about the big problems facing the bank long before the appointment of the AKEL apparatchik as Governor.

SARRIS was an independent director of another eight companies, but why did this disqualify him from being Chairman of the Popular Bank? And if Professor Panicos was so concerned about conflict of interest, why did he wait three months before demanding Sarris’ resignation?

Nobody can compete with AKEL’s propagandists when it comes to twisting the truth.

They are making all this fuss about Sarris, allegedly, hiding the big losses and deficits of the Popular Bank, but have not said a single bad word about the man who singlehandedly caused them and took the bank to the brink of collapse – the slippery, former executive chairman Andreas Vgenopoulos.

Vgen bankrupted Popular, but AKEL never mentions this, attacking an honest man like Sarris instead. This is because Vgen is a close buddy of the comrade and publicly praised the government’s decision to sack Orph.

Such was the closeness between the two, that Tof had called up Orph to reprimand him after the latter, had turned down a Vgen application for a dubious deal.

The biggest lie in the Haravghi propaganda piece was that Sarris “obstructed in a variety of ways investigations by the regulatory authority so that the breadth and depth of the losses and irregularities would not become apparent…. There are many cases relating to the write-off of loans worth millions of euros.”

The million dollar question is why Sarris would want to cover up all the dodgy deals done by Vgen?

ONE CONSPIRACY theorist that occasionally has a skettos at our establishment, reckons that the government wanted Sarris out of the way, so it could protect Vgen, which is a plausible explanation.

Sarris knew everything that had gone on in the bank and he would not have stayed quiet if an investigation tried to cover up the Greek financier’s big responsibility for Laiki’s ‘huge deficits and losses.’

But thanks to its indisputable incompetence, the government will still not be able to protect Vgen. Sarris’ replacement Andreas Philippou, a well-respected former central banker, appointed on the suggestion of the finance minister, could play a Polys Polyviou role.

Philippou was a director of the Laiki Bank when Vgen took over

and resigned because he objected to the Greek wheeler-dealer’s plans for the bank. If he was appointed to protect Vgen, the government has committed another major blunder.

AGAIN, we may have bored readers with the exclusively financial content of today’s shop but this is the slowest week of the year, for news, social events and acts of lunacy. This is the time of year when morning current affairs shows on the radio play songs and newspapers put foreign stories on their front pages.

The first 20 minutes of the CyBC television news on the night of August 15 (the day of the passing of the Virgin Mary) were devoted to religion. It covered the services at five different churches in Cyprus and Greece, asked people why and what they prayed for, what they thought of Theotokos and other metaphysical questions.

I mention this to show that it was not only our establishment that lacked variety this week.

IN FACT even the Church coverage featured an economic flavour.

In his sermon Bishop of Kykkos and Tylliria Nikiforos said that “the economic crisis is a blessing by God.” We had become too materialistic and sinful, said the Bishop, renowned for his Spartan lifestyle, and the recession was “a powerful slap, a pedagogical punishment by God.” Comrade Tof would agree with his friend Nikiforos. I would not be surprised if Stef-Stef starts telling us next week that the economic crisis was caused by the banks’ exposure in Greece and God. AND PLEASE do not forget to buy your tickets for the 6th Cyprus-Russia Gala in the grounds of the presidential palace on September 8, at 8.15pm. The event will be under the high patronage of Mrs Comrade and will feature Greek pop diva Elena Paparizou. Tickets at €150 might be a bit on the expensive side, but a good turnout could convince President Putin to give our comrade the loan we do not need. So please try to be there, even if you have to go without food for the next seven days.

POLAND’S GREEN O

By Christian Lowe and Anna Wirowska KRYSTYNA Pakulska walks down a dirt track lined with silver birch trees and stops for a moment to breathe in the air.

“Look at the beauty around you, the flowers and the trees,” says the 59-year old, a retired employee of Polish state television. “Why destroy this beautiful land?”

This is an allotment garden, one of dozens carved out of the Polish capital by the country’s previous rulers so that workers could relax in their spare time by tending flowers and shrubs on their personal plots.

Two decades after Poland threw off Communist rule, this relic of a more sedate past is colliding with a modern reality: the appetite of the market for space to build new apartment blocks, offices and retail parks.

This rural idyll is right in the centre of Warsaw and that makes it a prime real estate spot.

A calculation based on market data from real estate firm Colliers International shows that if a garden in central Warsaw were available for residential development, the smallest plot could sell for 165,000 euros, and probably several times more depending on the number of floors in the planned building.

For now that price exists in theory only. Developers cannot touch the allotments, also known as community gardens, because they have special protected status under Polish law.

But the country’s constitutional court ruled in early July that this status had to change, a decision the gardening fraternity says will be exploited by property developers to pick them off one by one, buy up their plots and build on them.

Silver-haired members of the Polish Association of Allotment Holders protested

outside the court, and gardeners vowed they would not surrender their plots without a fight.

The row resonates with ordinary Poles too, most of whom can remember summer afternoons from their childhood spent pottering around in a relative’s allotment while the grown-ups enjoyed a beer or vodka.

Newspapers ran front-page stories on the court ruling and politicians debated it on television talk shows.

The fight over the garden plots has become a proxy for a bigger conflict being played out in Poland, between the desire for modernity and living standards on a par with the rest of Europe on one hand, and on the other an attachment to older values of family and community.

In the years since the Berlin Wall fell, Poland has embraced the market so enthusiastically that it is now more capitalist than some countries in western Europe.

It worked. Poland’s economy has grown uninterrupted since 1992, and last year was still growing at 4.3 per cent, even while growth slumped in the rest of the European Union.

Yet the outpouring of feeling over the allotments has revealed a side of Poland which - possibly influenced by the financial crash on Wall Street and the tribulations of the euro zone - has a more nuanced view about the value of wealth.

“There are people for whom money is not the most important thing,” said Emilia Borkowska, 60, deputy head of the Rakowiec allotment collective just south of Warsaw’s city centre.

The community garden she helps run is divided into about 520 fenced-off plots, each slightly bigger than a tennis court.

Most are like the one owned

by Krysztof Borkowski, a 49year-old policeman. In one corner sits a tiny Alpine-style chalet, where he can shelter

City gardeners say they’re under siege from property developers as legal ruling could clear way for gardens to be built on

from the rain.

The rest of the space is taken up with a manicured lawn, a bush which he has clipped and trained so the foliage is formed into a geometrically

perfect spiral, wisteria, a peach tree, an apricot tree, and a grape vine.

Asked what he makes with the grapes, the bare-chested Borkowski, standing next to

his elderly mother, laughed: “Only red wine. I’m sorry, I don’t have any today.”

Founded in 1927 during a brief period of Polish independence, the history of the Rakowiec garden traces the jagged arc of Poland over the past 85 years.

When Nazi Germany invaded in 1939, resistance fighters used the garden as a hiding place; its archives record 12 Mauser rifles, 9 pistols and 200 grenades stored in one allotment.

Communists installed by Moscow took over after the war, and the allotments were re-named “Workers’ Gardens”. Owners grew vegetables to make up for the shortages of food in the shops.

Poland was convulsed again when Lech Walesa, a shipyard worker from the port of Gdansk, led the Solidarity protests that toppled Communist rule. Investors arrived, followed by construction cranes. Warsaw became a bustling financial hub.

Yet inside the shrub-lined fences of the Rakowiec garden, little changed. The families who had owned the plots for generations kept them, for the most part, and the gentle rhythm of planting and weeding and watering carried on as before.

Lately though it has grown

harder to resist the intrusion of the outside world. Twenty years of economic growth have left real estate developers with a dwindling supply of prime sites where they can profitably build.

Poland needs the developers’ investment. The European Union money that has so far buoyed Poland’s econ-

“These (gardens) places for residen green and situate districts with communications omy will flow less freely in the next few years. Economic growth next year is forecast to slow to 2.1 per cent, half the figure for 2011.

There is still a lot of building to do to make up for the stagnation during Communist rule. Warsaw has 2 square metres of office space per capita, while the European average is 5 square metres

(Hotbird SAT / (www.oldies-digital. com) SUNDAYS 05:00 Glen Sauter’s Hits of Yester Year 07:00 The Non stop Jukebox - with the greatest hits of all time from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. 18:00 Oldies Digital Overnights

The Phantom of the Opera farce is an exception, mostly because it never takes its eye off the main plot; our three heroes never stop babbling and yammering - arguing over everything, from how to fi nd an address to whether “bend her over a barrel and show her the 50 states” is or is not a well-known expression - and of course the horrible bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston) are hilariously horrible. Good stuff, albeit also rude, profane and not for kids. Made in 2011.

The Phantom of the Opera (CyBC1, 21.10) Did we really get excited about this? Did we really predict it would win Oscars? I guess it made sense, since the play was such a hit - but the fi lm just tries

to reproduce the play, from the 80s orchestration in the title-song to the Phantom’s stylised mask.

It works for a while, but it hasn’t been re-imagined for the screen so it’s just empty spectacle, a visual morass of candelabras, falling snowflakes, gold-leaf sets, red velvet curtains, and lead actors with sculpted cheekbones warbling the repetitive music. Emmy Rossum is Christine, our heroine; Gerard Butler is The Phantom, the terror of the French Opera House but a tutor to Christine (whom he loves). He helps her career - but then she falls in love with someone else, and he jealously takes her prisoner. Sing once again with me our strange duet. My power over you grows stronger yet. And so on and so forth. Made in 2004.

an orphanage, never got much love - “Just remember, God loves all His children,” says a woman in the trailer; “Even the ones no-one else does” - and is now bitter and twisted, at least till he meets (a) a stray husky dog and (b) an exotic dancer named Dakota (Kristin Adams), in that order. Will the little guy’s life be transformed by love, whether canine or exotic dancer-ish? I’m guessing yes, making for a ‘small’ drama with a heartwarming vibe - and you even get a joke to amuse your friends with: “What’s slimy, cold, green and

Cowboys & Aliens (Novacinema1, 22.00) Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are the main cowboys in this genre mash-up (the genres in question being Western and sci-fi); nobody plays the aliens they’re just special effects - and that’s the problem, that the monsters are fatally boring just as they were in Super 8 and Battle: Los Angeles. Aliens attack the Wild West town of Absolution, forcing rancher Ford to team up with outlaw Daniel - though in fact cowboys vs. aliens is a pretty daft idea, with the cowboys shooting guns and trying to lasso aliens (even mod-

Cowboys & Aliens ern humans could make mincemeat of these rough riders, let alone E.T.s from a more advanced civilisation). The result is mindlessly macho, another of those Hollywood fi lms - like Battleship or (again) Battle: Los Angeles - where it’s all about fighting generic monsters, albeit lent a smidgen of originality by being set in the Wild West. It’s cool seeing spaceships and Stetsons in the same shot - but you need more than that for a satisfying movie, especially with Harrison Ford at his grumpiest. Made in 2011.

Staying Alive (CyBC1, 22.15) John Travolta stars (as Tony Manero, his character from Saturday Night Fever), Sylvester Stallone

directed; they don’t have much in common - but they’re both Italian-American and they’ve both played working-class underdogs (and they both lost a son, albeit years later), so I guess it makes sense that they teamed up for this jaw-droppingly cheesy musical drama. It’s six years after Fever, and Tony (now a professional dancer) tries to make the big time with a starring role in a Broadway play, falling in love with chilly English diva Finola Hughes along the way. Miss Hughes was nominated for a Razzie as Worst Supporting Actress, and the fi lm got bad reviews (to put it kindly) - but it semi-works as kitschy 80s nostalgia nowadays, when we’re all (like John and Sly) so much older and wiser. Made in 1983.

Winter’s Bone (Novacinema1, 20.15) “Kneel down like you’re praying,” says our heroine (Jennifer Lawrence, now better known as Katniss in The Hunger Games) to her younger siblings - but spiritual thoughts are somewhat derailed by the fact that she’s teaching them how to use a gun (she also describes the cross-hairs as a cross). The setting is the kind of small town - a benighted community, deep in the Ozark Mountains of middle America that might once have been very God-fearing but is now a hellhole lost to crank and meth,

and a gun is a handy thing to have as Jenny goes in search of her junkie father. She needs to fi nd him, or her family will lose their house (still in his name, though he abandoned them years ago) - but the world she fi nds is increasingly monstrous, not to say macabre. The result is an Oscar-nominated Gothic drama with a gripping ‘quest’ plot, a powerhouse climax and memorable characters, though our heroine - like Katniss in The Hunger Games - is perhaps a little too virtuous. Sample dialogue: “That’s a real good way to end up et [sic] by hogs.”. Made in 2010.

Winter’s Bone

Racing With the Moon (CyBC2, 21.00) Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage! The salaries, clashing egos and other complications would make it prohibitive today - but the teaming was easier back in the day when Penn was 23 and Cage was 20, the babyfaced duo playing small-town teens in this likeable drama. It’s the 1940s, WW2 is raging and they’re waiting to be called up and shipped off to fight - but fi rst Penn tries to romance Elizabeth McGovern, who’s new in town and (unlike him) comes from the right side of the tracks.

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

The Wedding Singer of-age drama with a side of nostalgia, but the whole thing has a low-key freshness that’s very appealing, and star-watchers looking for youthful glimpses of Hollywood royalty will be in heaven. Only McGovern didn’t really make it. Made in 1984.

The Wedding Singer (LTV, 21.00) We’re used to Adam Sandler now, but Time Out called him “a cult comedian submerging himself in the mainstream” when he made The Wedding Singer 14 years ago - and admittedly the fi lm was sweeter and straighter than the likes of Happy Gilmore, latching on to the fi rst wave of 80s nostalgia. The time is 1985 and Sandler is the titular singer, croon-

ing the hits of the day - Culture Club, Nena, Billy Idol, Hall & Oates - at other people’s weddings, at least till his own bride leaves him standing at the altar, sparking a crisis of confidence; Drew Barrymore is a waitress planning a wedding of her own, but the groom is a jerk and of course we all know she and Adam are made for each other. Will true love triumph? A sluggish fi lm, like most Sandler comedies when they’re trying to be poignant, and there’s weird creepy lapses like the grotesque “losers’ table” - but the world loved it, Sandler went from cult to mainstream, and the rest is history. Warning: includes our hero singing ‘I Want to Grow Old With You’, so try not to watch it on a full stomach. Made in 1998.

Bad Teacher (Novacinema2, 18.50) It’s a triple bill of Hollywood comedies on Novacinema2, Bad Teacher followed by Duplex and Anger Management - and the other two are likely to depress you but this one works well, an outrageous farce with Cameron Diaz in top form. She’s a bad, bad teacher, uninterested in teaching, or indeed kids, or indeed anything except (a) fi nding a rich husband and (b) getting a new pair of boobs, which in turn will help her fi nd a rich husband.

Not all the jokes amuse (I could’ve done without the scatological

eruption in the men’s room) but most of them do, especially Lucy Punch as the prim-and-proper Miss Squirrel (“Shut the front door!” being as close as she gets to profanity) and Justin Timberlake as the new teacher who’s painfully gauche and dorky but comes from a fi lthy-rich family. Also in the mix is a poetry-writing kid, a dolphinobsessed Principal (“She’s manipulating you through the use of dolphins!” warns Squirrel), a wishy-washy colleague with assertiveness issues, a cool PE teacher who’s hot for Cam - but is, alas, just a PE teacher - and

Bad Teacher

a plot that gets in the way slightly, though only in the second half. Foul-mouthed, cynical and mostly hilarious; not for all tastes, though. Made in 2011.

Outbreak (LTV3, 22.00) “In a remote African jungle, a small monkey is captured, bound for a pet store in America...” Alas, the monkey carries an Ebola-like virus, it scratches the pet-shop owner - transferring the virus from monkeys to humans - and before long the plague is “spreading like a bushfi re,” to quote military scientist Dustin Hoffman. LTV are showing this as part of a Hoffman festival but he doesn’t get to do anything very interesting, the juicier parts going to Morgan

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

Courageous Freeman and Donald Sutherland as good and bad soldiers, the latter reckoning the best solution is to wipe an entire small town full of decent God-fearing Americans off the map (boo!). Also in the mix are Rene Russo and Kevin Spacey - and it’s not without tension, though admittedly it’s hard to take the stirring speeches (“The fate of the nation, perhaps the world, is in our hands...”) and stiff-jawed heroics very seriously after seeing the cool, clinical take on similar material in Contagion. Made in 1995.

Courageous (Novacinema1, 22.00) “Heroes protecting the streets ... Fathers struggling to connect”. You might think it’s irrelevant that cops

are also dads - but this “faith-based” drama (i.e. a drama that mentions God more often than strictly necessary) begs to differ, and is actually much more about being a dad than being a cop. Four police officers (one of them played by director Alex Kendrick) try to do their job as courageously as possible - but a tragedy forces them to re-examine their lives, leading to anguished dialogue like “I want to know what God expects of me” and “I’ve been doing about half of what I should’ve been doing as a dad”. Sounds ‘inspirational’ to the point of being painful, but some folks like it: “This movie is what every father should see, be they ‘in the Faith’ or not,” claims a man from Tampa at the Internet Movie Database. Made in 2011.

on” and “it’s not the guns that cause violence, it’s the people” - then recall that they live in Colorado, where one gun-wielding person recently caused all that mayhem at the Dark Knight screening. Preceded at 21.00 by Sons of Guns, a double bill for aspiring gunsmiths (and spree killers) everywhere.

Stolen Lives (Novacinema1, 22.00) Jon Hamm is a bit obsessed - not in a suave, high-achieving way like he is on Mad Men, but in a sad, almost pathetic way as a troubled cop trying to deal with the disappearance

(and presumed death) of his son, who vanished eight years before. His guilt eats away at him, he won’t let his wife clean out the boy’s room (“Don’t touch anything until there is a body!”) - and he’s instantly fascinated when the cops fi nd a child’s remains buried in a box, thinking it might provide a clue even though the child in question has been dead for 50 years.

The result is a straight-toDVD thriller, murkily plotted by all accounts (I haven’t seen it), alternating between Jon’s turmoil in the present day and Josh Lucas as another father

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

Brazil with a young son (presumably the boy in the box) in fl ashbacks taking place 50 years ago; the two stories merge - and the plot has too many cheap twists, but the subject is so powerful you’re likely to keep watching anyway. Also known as Stolen; made in 2009.

Brazil (Novacinema4, 22.45) For a while, the story behind Brazil was more important than Brazil itself. Terry Gilliam, the Monty Python animator and all-round visionary, made this dystopian sci-fi comedy a year after 1984 (and 1984) then fought a very public battle with the studio which refused to release it, going on TV to denounce them till they fi nally capitulated. 27 years

on, most people no longer know (or care) about that story - but Brazil remains a cult movie, a visually imaginative fantasy that’s also full of spiky humour.

In a future ruled by a vast, implacable bureaucracy, a typo leads to the arrest of one Harry Buttle in place of notorious terrorist Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro); Sam (Jonathan Pryce), a harried drone in the all-powerful Ministry of Information, tries to rectify the error - but only succeeds in drawing attention to himself, and being labelled an enemy of the state.

The plot flags, and the fi lm is overlong, but it’s still amazing to look at - and a key text for anyone fighting the power of evil bureaucracies or large corporations. Or indeed Hollywood studios. Made in 1985.

PICK OF THE DAY The Rite (LTV, 21.00) “The terror is real. You only defeat it when you believe!” we’re informed - but in fact the terror isn’t much in this feeble movie, another case of Hollywood trying to jump on the Exorcist bandwagon without really knowing what it’s doing (and Anthony Hopkins taking a role without even reading the script because, hey, he’s Anthony Hopkins). Colin O’Donoghue is our hero, a modern young Catholic priest - “Dude, honestly?” he says to an annoying roommate, and “I’m guessing there’s no cable” when faced with his spartan

room in Rome - who’s having a crisis of faith, so he goes to Italy to take an exorcism course (!), hoping it’ll cure his scepticism. “What did you expect? Spinning heads, pea soup?” asks hammy Hopkins as the lugubrious exorcist he fi nds there - but any pretensions to documentary realism are defeated by the rampant silliness: newts, a mule with glowing red eyes, a phone call from Hell (literally), plus the Devil saying “So how about you, kissy-lips?” (our hero whacks him with a stick). Most giggle-inducing detail: Tony interrupted in

Sabrina (CyBC1, 21.45) They showed the original Sabrina on Nova Classics recently, starring Audrey Hepburn at her most bewitching - but this 90s remake stars Julia Ormond, which is really all we need to say. Ormond was fl avour-of-the-month for a while (Legends of the Fall being perhaps her biggest moment), and she’s not a bad actress but there’s something fundamentally cold to her - a fatal fl aw in this role, which demands natural charm. The plot is thin, with chauffeur’s daughter Sabrina sent to Paris for a makeover,

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

Mirrors 2 coming back so transformed that the rich playboy (Greg Kinnear) she’s always had a crush on suddenly notices her - but he’s now engaged to a rich man’s daughter, so his business-minded brother (Harrison Ford) starts to court Sabrina as a form of damage limitation. “Everything here depends on the casting,” wrote critic Roger Ebert, which is true - but he also thought Ormond pulled it off (being “exquisitely regardable”), which is ... well, debatable. Made in 1995.

Mirrors 2 (Novacinema3, 23.00) “Behind the world you know is a darkness you never imagined,” says the trailer - a darkness populated only by straight-to-DVD horrors with gory special ef-

fects and unhappy actors wondering why their agents don’t take their calls anymore. Nick Stahl is our hero (taking over from Kiefer Sutherland in the fi rst Mirrors), an emotionally-troubled type who takes a job as security guard in a department store and soon starts having Strange Experiences. “Last night I saw a woman in one of the mirrors at work,” he tells his girlfriend; “She was looking at me from the other side”. The mirrors - it turns out - trap people’s souls, Nick’s ghostly woman pushing against the glass as she tries to escape the darkness while other characters are getting murdered by their own reflections.

Mirror mirror on the wall, what’s the point behind it all? You’ve got me there. Made in 2010.

PICK OF THE DAY Gran Torino (Novacinema3, 22.00) If you haven’t seen any Clint Eastwood fi lms, then for god’s sake don’t start with this one; it’s truly bad (or at least sloppy) as a fi lm, but Clint’s Clint-ness carries the day, indeed it couldn’t even exist with any other actor. He plays Walt Kowalski, a septuagenarian Korean War vet and something of a grumpy old man, among the things he hates are horoscopes (“What a load of shit!”), people standing on his lawn, people who call him by his fi rst name without being asked, navel-rings on teen-

age girls, white-boy wiggas pretending to be ghetto, young priests, church-going - and of course “swamp rats”, one of his colourful names for his Hmong (i.e.

Vietnamese) neighbours. One of those neighbours, a teenage boy, tries to steal Walt’s Gran Torino (that’s a car) as part of a gang initiation, forcing Walt to become more involved with the family and its problems. You might say they bond, and you might call the fi lm a plea for racial tolerance - but those mealy-mouthed words don’t apply to His Clintness. Long-time fans know what I’m talking about. Made in 2008.

Gran Torino

Monte Carlo (Novacinema1, 22.00) Selena Gomez is 18 (or was, when she made this fi lm) but could pass for 12 if you look at her winsome baby-face - and the fi lm accentuates the problem by surrounding her with older co-stars, namely Leighton Meester (Blair on Gossip Girl) and Katie Cassidy. The result is a sub-Disney jape with Selena as an angelic waitress in Texas (we know she’s angelic because she takes a customer’s breakfast and rearranges the eggs and bacon into a smiley-face) who dreams of going to Paris, and fi nally does so in the company of best friend Katie and uptight stepsister Leighton; alas, the trip is a disaster - but things improve when the girls duck into a luxury hotel and Sel-

Dead Man Walking ena gets mistaken for her rich-bitch double, Prince and the Pauper style, ending up in Monte Carlo where the obnoxious heiress is guest of honour at a charity ball. The heiress is British but Miss Gomez isn’t required to speak with a British accent (she does so for a couple of lines, then reverts), which is fair enough; to be honest, her talent is limited - but she’s very sweet and easy to identify with (especially if you’re a tween girl) and the heroines’ adventures are a dream come true, especially when they involve Bulgari and Oscar de la Renta. Made in 2011.

Dead Man Walking (Sigma, 22.20) Tween girls should go with Monte Carlo [see above]

but everyone else is likely to prefer this Oscar-winning drama, notable for being even-handed despite the fact that director Tim Robbins is a vocal opponent of the death penalty. That’s the subject, albeit indirectly - the story of Sister Helen Prejean (played

by Robbins’ longtime partner Susan Sarandon) who ministers to the men on Death Row and befriends convicted killer Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn), a nasty piece of work who nonetheless insists he only watched - rather than committed - the murder of a young couple. Based on fact, like many a cheap TV movie, but it walks its moral tightrope impeccably, fi nally going beyond guilt and innocence to a higher plane of spiritual redemption. Made in 1995.

“We need to catch up,” said Marta Sikora-Drozda, senior consultant with real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle.

“These (gardens) are very attractive places for residential development, green and situated in prestigious districts with convenient communications from the centre.”

are very attractive ntial development, ed in prestigious h convenient from the centre.”

She said that some developers had, a few years ago, looked into acquiring community gardens and then walked away when they came up against laws which protected the allotments.

The ruling on July 11 by the constitutional court may change that. The court decided that the law on the gardens’ status was uncon-

stitutional because it gave the Polish Association of Allotment Holders monopoly control over the gardens.

Tomasz Terlecki, lawyer for the allotment holders’ association, says the law must now be re-drafted, giving developers an opportunity to lobby for the changes they want.

“The regulations ... will be more liberal in the future, which of course will be more beneficial for the developers,” said Terlecki.

Back in Rakowiec, the allotment holders are preparing to fight off approaches from developers.

If the garden is put up for sale, the allotment holders might get some kind of payoff but not enough to buy anything comparable. The state owns the land under the plots, so it would receive the bulk of any compensation from the developer.

Pakulska, the former Polish television employee, has had an allotment in her family since 1971. She does not know what she would do if it was taken away.

“They (businessmen) want to build supermarkets and malls here. It is about money and nothing else. I understand it because it’s about the market,” she said.

“But why here?”

Business & Jobs

Déjà vu all over again Spain will be centre of ‘eurocrisis’ action this summer according to Clem Chambers FOR Europe, as Yogi Beera, the famous American baseball coach said, its “déjà vu all over again”. Now the name in the frame is Spain.

The economic numbers for Spain are not as horrendous as those of Greece. However, the Spanish banking system is loaded up to its ears in real estate debts that will never be repaid. Consequentially, Spanish banks are a default waiting to happen. Spain has had massive twin deficits and four years into the credit crunch it is trying to get its fiscal deficit down to five per cent of GDP. Meanwhile, the country has horrific unemployment of over 20 per cent while over 12 per cent of the working population are civil servants.

Leading up to the crisis, the country had in effect been financing itself from a runaway property boom, a key European trick to pump huge taxation flows into government coffers. This ‘wheeze’ makes the population feel rich and happy so is great for shortterm business, both fiscal and political. In the end however, like all credit bubbles, it has to implode.

While the property boom is ‘on’ the country feels rich and has cheap credit. The population buy goods, but because the country has not made the money by industry, imports are the only way to quench the credit-fuelled thirst. Import levels explode and create a giant trade imbalance.

Spain’s hit 10 per cent of GDP

In a celebratory mood: people attend the Festa Major de Gracia in Barcelona at the height of their boom.

So rather than get rich from a property boom, the new money flows to the developing world which actually makes things, leaving the victim of the property boom in debt.

Spain has thus been gutted.

The short-term windfall of a property boom also supports restrictive labour policies, which in turn make local industry almost impossible to grow. Even while money runs freely, no one in their right mind would create industrial

jobs which can then be got rid of later. Like desert rain, the money quickly runs away.

So boom leads to little real growth, yet governments flush with cash bloat the public sector. Public sector jobs explode, civil servants get better conditions, in Spain’s case yet shorter “working” hours, votes are generally bought and promised from the influx of new cash.

GDP appears to grow because GDP contains government spending growth. The expansion of the public sector makes it look like there is growth, but the economy isn’t growing at all: or rather the productive part hasn’t grown.

When the property bubble bursts, tax income collapses, government deficits explode, banks over-burdened with bad property loans collapse.

Government debt is hard to finance, interest rates rise.

This is where Spain finds itself today.

Europe has forestalled a broad economic collapse across its many overstretched states by playing for time. The officials have come up with a method to hold the currency and the bloc together.

The European Central Bank (ECB) buys bank bonds and government bonds. The ECB swaps their good money, for bad money.

If a country is shaky, it buys that country’s bonds and keeps interest from going off the dial. This is five to six per cent. If a country’s banks become shaky, the ECB buys their bonds - which they can

invent by swapping with other ‘dodgy’ banks. In exchange, banks buy government bonds to fund the deficits of their country, on the back of the credit worthiness of the whole of Europe. It’s a three ringed circus, ECB, European state treasuries and the banks.

This creditworthiness is in effect underwritten by the credit-worthiness of less-leveraged European countries like Germany, Holland and, arguably, France.

The idea is that as a whole Europe isn’t particularly broke, only certain states are in trouble. No one would worry too much if California was broke; it has the whole of the US behind it. Why then should Greece throw the whole of the euro in doubt?

As such, the ECB and Europe is trying to act as if it is as Federal as the US even though the treaties are not in place to do so.

The frontline of this process is now Spain. The key question is ‘does Europe have the will and ability to continue to process and bail out Spain?’

To bail out Spain and consequentially Italy will take a major European monetary shift, one undoubtedly involving broad inflation.

The ECB will simply have to re-inflate to rebase the economies of Europe into some kind of equilibrium.

Spain will be centre of the action. It will be down to the ECB to refinance and bail it. If the ECB pulls this off smoothly, the euro crisis will really be put to rest.

If however, we have a re-run

of last year’s chaos, not only will 2012 be rough, so will 2013 and 2014. If the euro dam breaks then the economic consequences will be nothing short of titanic.

How will you know what the likely outcome will be? Will it be rescue or disaster?

There are two main dials to watch. The Yen and the strength of the euro.

A strong Yen generally means people are running from something scary. Even though Japan may try to weaken the Yen further, Yen rallies mean fear is in the market and it is highly likely that the fear will be euro-based.

The stronger the euro, the more likely something bad will happen to European monetary union.

This might seem wrong, but unless Germany leaves the euro, in any euro emergency it is the basket case countries that would be expelled. This makes the euro more like the D-Mark and hence stronger.

If the weak countries, who need to escape back to their old currencies leave, the euro will rise. If they stay, there will be a lot more money printing in Europe and the euro will weaken.

A Yen and euro rally would be a bad omen for Europe, while a falling euro and Yen would mean the euro storm is passing.

Is Desperate Dan riding into sunset?

THE writing may be on the wall for Britain’s longest-running comic The Dandy - home to much-loved characters like cowboy Desperate Dan (right) and Korky the Cat - after its publisher said it was considering retiring the magazine due to lacklustre sales.

The Dandy sold more than two million copies a week in its 1950s heyday, but with children now more likely to watch television or play videogames, circulation is now below 8,000.

“We are carrying out a review of our magazines business to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing publishing industry,” publisher DC Thomson said in a statement this week.

First published in 1937, The Dandy faced stiff competition from comic strip rival The Beano, but sales were hardest hit by the rise of TV entertainment for children.

“The Dandy wasn’t as able to develop existing characters into characters kids could identify with,” said Anita O’Brien, curator of London’s Cartoon Museum. mics “But most of all, comics pethad a challenge competnd ing with television and computer games for kids’ attention,” she said.

Desperate Dan may not w have eaten his last cow

pie, however, as DC Thomson said the cartoon strongman will survive in a digital format.

“We’re ce celebrating the fact that The Dandy has been in prin for 75 years and print w we’re doing a lot of planning to ensure that our brands and characters can live on in other p platforms for future ge generations to enjoy,” sa it said.

“It’s sad - maybe “It’ not as much for the ch children these days, bu but there would be a lo lot of adults who wou would be sad to know that Desperate Dan’s no longer around,” O O’Brien said.

How much income do you lose in tax?

F YOU have ever had the feeling that you spend half your working life just to pay tax, you are probably not far wrong.

What with income tax, national insurance/social security, capital gains tax, VAT, council tax, excise duties etc, a considerable amount of our hard earned income is lost in tax each year. If you are lucky enough to be retired you are still faced with tax on your savings, investments and pensions, not to mention the amount we pay in VAT each year.

The Institut Economique Molinari carries out a study each year on The Tax Burden of Typical Workers in the EU 27 and determines their “tax freedom day”. It aims to “shed light on the working individual’s role in financing their state and social security”.

Tax freedom day is the day each year when you finally stop working to pay tax to the government, and start earning money for yourself.

According to the 2012 study, Malta has the earliest tax freedom in the EU, falling on just April 11. There is bad news for Cyprus taxpayers. Although Cyprus has the

Belgium has the latest tax freedom day. Taxpayers have to work up to August 5 simply to earn enough to pay taxes. France takes second place honours, with a date of June 26. The other countries whose dates fall as late as

July are Hungary Italy, Sweden, Germany and Austria.

Taxpayers in countries like the US and Australia fare much better than us Europeans. Their tax freedom days were April 17 and April 4 respectively.

The Institut Economique Molinari also pointed out that across the EU as a whole, the non-working

population now make up 54.7 per cent of the population, while “tax-wise, working people must carry most of the weight – a weight that grows heavier as populations grow even older”.

So even after the current economic situation has improved, countries may still need to keep taxes higher to provide funds for their in-

creasing pension and social welfare costs brought about by an ageing population.

In its calculations, the Institut Economique Molinari looks at income tax, social security contributions and VAT. It calculated that the UK had a tax freedom day of May 12.

It is interesting to compare this to the separate study on the UK tax burden carried out by the Adam Smith Institute (ASI). Its methodology includes indirect, local and stealth taxes - and under its calculations tax freedom day did not arrive until May 29.

This means that for 149 days of the year, every penny earned by the average UK resident was taken by the government in tax.

Tax freedom day measures the money raised by the government in taxes. It does not

CHF 0.01 0.01 0.03 0.05 0.16 0.36

consider the amount it borrows and spends, so ASI also calculates a “Cost of Government Day” to show the extent of the UK’s debt. The debt will have to be repaid eventually, with taxpayers picking up the bill.

The government borrows one pound for every four it raises in taxes, so the cost of government day fell on June 23 this year. British taxpayers worked 175 days to cover the government’s spending and borrowing.

These are taxing times for taxpayers, and not just for workers as retirees are also faced with higher taxes. In many cases, however, there are still steps you can take to lighten your tax burden.

While we all have to pay our share of taxes, you won’t want to pay more than you have to. Ask an international tax and wealth management advisory firm like Blevins Franks for information on legitimate tax mitigation opportunities available to you.

WIN A TRIP FOR 2 TO SOUTH AFRICA IN AID OF PAPHOS HOSPICE Organised by SACY NEWS The SACY NEWS was launched early 2012, and has within a short period, become a popular and well-liked publication among the South African community, and other expatriates living on the island of Cyprus. With the support of the South African Consulate, the SACY NEWS has become a prime media source for all South African Cypriots living in Cyprus.

“We wanted to create a ‘voice’ for all South Africans in Cyprus. The South African community has increased in number, and it was only a matter of time before we had our own community paper,” says Paul Charalambous, editor of the SACY NEWS. The high-quality publication is produced on a bi-monthly basis and is distributed all over the island, free of charge.

The SACY NEWS’ presence as a media sponsor for almost all South African events has spread extensively throughout the island. In recognition of the strong and supportive South African community, the SACY NEWS will be organising the South African New Year’s Eve Ball at the ‘Fifth Floor Restaurant’ in Paphos. This event will become an annual affair on the SACY NEWS calendar. “Everyone is welcome,” says Paul. “We want to revive the traditional South African Greek events we were accustomed to in South Africa.”

The SACY NEWS will be organising competitions on a regular basis to support the many charities on the island. After months of planning, and the support from many sponsors in Cyprus and South Africa, the SACY NEWS recently launched the ‘Win a trip for 2 to South Africa Competition’ in aid of the Paphos Hospice.

This unique prize package, which includes two return tickets to Johannesburg with Etihad Airways and Century Travel, will be complimented by seven nights at the 5-Star Peermont D’oreale Grande at Emperors Palace Hotel, Casino and Convention Resort. The prize includes an additional two nights at Sandton’s premier Michelangelo Hotel, and a further two nights at the Thabana Safari Lodge for an exceptional full board safari experience.

SAFARIS 4 U – A leading group tour operator based in Johannesburg, will provide unique tours to top attractions in Johannesburg, during the course of your stay.

Tickets are on sale from all Paphos Hospice Charity Shops, participating outlets (island wide) and private individuals for the price of € 3 per ticket. The winner will be announced at the South African New Year’s Eve Ball on the 31st December 2012.

For more information on this unique eleven nights prize package to South Africa, contact the SACY NEWS on 96 343 687. You can also visit their page on Facebook.

Motoring

Rare 850 bhp electric racing car on show at low carbon event VISITORS to the UK’s largest annual B2B low carbon vehicle event for manufacturers, technology providers and fleet operators - Cenex’s LCV2012 - will have a rare opportunity to see one of the world’s fastest electric cars, the 850 bhp Lola-Drayson B12/69EV, in action.

The demonstration of the Le Mans Prototype-style racer at LCV2012 is part of a new collaboration between Cenex and the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) whose Honorary President, Lord Drayson, is also Managing Partner at the Drayson Racing Technologies team.

The two organisations will co-present the showcase seminar, ‘High Performance, Low Carbon’, on the first day of the event, Wednes-

day 5 September.

The session will highlight the role companies within the sector can play to accelerate the transfer of low carbon technologies from motor sport into passenger and commercial vehicles, as an important stepping stone in driving down the carbon footprint of vehicles on UK roads.

Cenex Chief Executive Officer, Robert Evans commented “the UK motor sport industry provides a hugely valuable test bed for a wide range of low carbon vehicle technologies. It is not only highly demanding, but is quick to generate results which filter down into passenger vehicles.

There are many examples of companies from the UK low carbon vehicle supply

chain working in the motor sports sector, and the ‘High Performance, Low Carbon’ seminar will showcase the potential of these projects.”

Chris Aylett, CEO of the MIA added “the ‘High Performance, Low Carbon’ theme to our collaboration with LCV2012 is an excellent chance for MIA members to explain the outstanding success achieved, recently, by transferring low carbon, energy efficient technology from the racetrack to automotive. The efficient use of energy has been at the heart of engineering success in motor sport for over 100 years. At last, this unique pool of knowledge and expertise is being fully exploited and delivering business growth to all concerned.”

There will be a demonstration of the Le Mans Prototype-style Lola-Drayson racer

Toyota return to rally scene with Yaris R1A

Bespoke Rolls-Royces celebrate Olympics

‘It is an affordable but exciting car which makes rallying’s major events accessible to a whole range of participants’

ROLLS-ROYCE celebrated the success of the 2012 London Olympic Games at the Closing Ceremony last weekend with three specially designed cars sporting new badges for the first time in the company’s 108-year history.

The new badges, designed by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design Team, replaced the traditional double R-R for the first time since the company started in 1904.

The three Phantom Series II Drophead Coupés conveyed Jessie J, Taio Cruz and Tinie Tempah into the arena during the event.

In all the hoo-ha, though, I doubt whether many people noticed the Rollers’ special badges – or their 2012 wheel centres.

The badge featured the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy with a patriotic Union flag replacing her traditional flowing gown.

The steering wheel centre also included a traditional laurel wreath and torch, and the self-righting wheel centres featured the words ‘London 2012’ surrounded by the Olympic motto, ‘Citius, Altius, Fortius’ (‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’).

The badges were complemented by unique tread plates identifying each car as ‘One of Three’, creating perhaps the most collectable (and unobtainable) RollsRoyce Bespoke items ever produced.

“I am delighted that RollsRoyce was invited to take part and it is appropriate that we should recognise this occasion with a fitting tribute,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive. “These unique cars were hand built at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood by our dedicated and passionate workforce and the whole team can take great pride in their part in making history for our company.”

TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH (TMG) will return to rallying with the entry-level TMG Yaris R1A car, which will be showcased in public for the first time at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland (24-26 August).

TMG has developed the Yaris R1A specifically to provide “an affordable, exciting entry into rallying for competitors young and old”.

The Japanese giant is taking orders immediately, with donor car and upgrade kit (excluding tax and installation) priced at approximately €22,500.

The FIA’s R1A regulations permit only limited performance modifications to the standard 1.33l petrolengined, three-door Yaris.

TMG’s upgrade kit includes a racing exhaust and catalytic converter system, shorter final drive gear, motorsport suspension with adapted springs and adjustable ride height.

In addition, comprehensive safety equipment features a bolt-in roll cage, sump guard, fuel tank and fuel lines, fire extinguishers, rally seats and safety harness plus the obligatory power cut-off switch.

Before the end of the year, the TMG Yaris R1A is expected to become the first car in the world to be awarded FIA R1A (up to 1400cc) homologation.

This will qualify the car to compete on regional, national and international competitions all the way up to World Rally Championship events.

After a positive test in July

Toyota has developed the car to provide ‘an entry into rallying for competitors young and old’ in Saarland, the car will make its public debut in the ADAC Rallye Deutschland, the ninth round of the WRC. It will run as a ‘zero car’ on the event, running at close to full speed in its role as course vehicle, to confirm safe road conditions and presage the start of each stage.

It will be driven by Isolde Holderied, a former works driver in the German Rally Championship during TMG’s world championshipwinning rally era. TMG team member Herbie Hossbach will co-drive.

The R1A represents the first stage in a wider plan from TMG to supply ‘cost-

effective and fun’ motorsport cars to private entrants.

Yoshiaki Kinoshita, TMG President: “It is a great thrill for TMG to return to rallying, a discipline in which we enjoyed a great deal of success in the past. The TMG Yaris R1A is a completely different project compared to our WRC past; it is an

affordable but exciting car which makes rallying’s major events accessible to a whole range of participants.

We have already received numerous inquiries about this car so we know there is a huge appetite in the rally world for a new Toyota; I hope this is the start of a new rally dynasty at TMG.”

Sport Serena knocked out of Cincinnati OLYMPIC champion Serena Williams suffered her first loss in nearly three months on Friday as she was knocked out of the Cincinnati Open quarter-finals, falling 6-4 6-4 to Germany’s Angelique Kerber.

While older sister Venus Williams continued her progress and moved through to the semi-finals with a 6-2 6-7 6-4 win over US Open champion Samantha Stosur, Serena struggled against an impressive Kerber en route to just her fourth defeat of the year.

Top seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, struggling with a sore shoulder, was beaten 6-1 6-1 by ninth-seed Li Na of China.

Serena, who had not lost since her opening round defeat at the French Open, complained of fatigue after her last 16 match on Thursday but she fell on Friday to an opponent who used a mix of intelligence and technique to make her life difficult.

“It was probably for the best that I didn’t win today, even though I wanted to win. But maybe my body was like telling me not to. I don’t know,” said Williams, whose loss came in her 31st match, including singles and doubles action, since the start of Wimbledon.

“I felt really good going out there today, much better than my other two matches, but it was a false alarm.

“She didn’t do too much that threw me off. Her game is pretty straightforward and you know what to expect.

She’s getting a lot of balls back. She played really well today and I think she served more up the T than I expected.”

Kerber, who has reached at least the quarter-finals in 12 of 17 events played this year, double-faulted on match point but on her third chance used a blistering ace to win the match.

“I had nothing to lose today, I tried to play my best and take it point by point because she has been playing so well recently,” Kerber, the world number seven, told reporters.

Blue Jays beat Texas in spite of Darvish

USA’s Sanya Richards-Ross (R) competes during the Women 400m of the DN Galan Diamond League athletics meeting at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium on Friday

Richards-Ross earns first post-Olympic win OLYMPIC women’s 400 metres champion Sanya Richards-Ross won her first race since the London Games and Yuliya Zaripov clocked the year’s fastest time in the women’s 3,000m steeplechase at Friday’s Diamond League meeting.

The Dominican Republic’s Felix Sanchez was beaten in the 400m hurdles while Olympic 1500m champion Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria, running in the 800, was upstaged by 18-year-old Ethiopian Mohammed Aman.

They were among 11 Olympic champions running at the Stockholm Olympic stadium which staged the Games in 1912 having been opened one month earlier.

American Richards-Ross was trailing off the final curve before powering down the

400m champion victorious at Diamond League meet final straight to take victory from Botswana’s Amantle Montsho in 49.89 seconds while Britain’s Olympic silver medallist Christine Ohuruogo was third.

Russia’s Zaripova, who set the previous world leading time in winning Olympic gold, bettered that performance by running nine minutes 05.02, beating Tunisia’s Habiba Ghribi into second place as she did in London.

Sanchez, whose tearful reaction to winning Olympic gold was one of the most emotional moments of the Games, lost to American Michael

Tinsley, the man he beat into second place in London.

Olympic champion Christian Taylor of the United States won the men’s triple jump while Olympic shot put champion Tomasz Majewski of Poland had to settle for second place behind American Reese Hoffa’s first throw of 21.24 metres.

The women’s discus and shot put produced a repeat of the one-two combinations in London.

Croatia’s Sandra Perkovic won the discus with her final throw of 68.77m ahead of Russia’s Darya Pishchaln-

ikova who had to be content with second place.

New Zealand’s Valerie Adams again emerged victorious in the shot with a throw of 20.26m ahead of Russia’s Evgeniia Kolodko.

Russia’s Anna Chicherova was another Olympic champion to win as she triumphed in the high jump with a 2.00m leap.

But Olympic champion Jennifer Suhr of the United States had an unhappy evening in the pole vault, entering the fray at 4.55m and failing to clear that height as London Games silver medallist Yarisley Silva of Cuba won with 4.70m.

Women’s Olympic long jump champion Brittney Reese also fared poorly as she came ninth in an event won by Russian Yelenka Sokolova.

JAPANESE All Star pitcher Yu Darvish struck out 10 Toronto batters but it was not enough to claim victory as the lowly Blue Jays scored a 3-2 home triumph over the Texas Rangers on Friday.

Darvish pitched seven innings and gave up three hits but a poor Rangers offence confined him to his ninth loss of the year (12-9).

The defeat dropped the Rangers to 68-50 but they remain in control at the top of the American League West, while Toronto improved to 56-63 but still anchor the American League East.

Darvish was behind the eight ball from the opening inning, walking Kelly Johnson before Edwin Encarnacion powered his 31st home run of the campaign to take a 2-0 lead.

But he did everything he could to get his side back in the contest, retiring 13 of the next 14 batters he faced.

For his part, Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ struck out eight over six innings, retiring the first nine batters he faced in the match to equal a Toronto record.

“That’s as good a three innings as you’re going to see anywhere,” Toronto skipper John Farrell told reporters.

Craig Gentry’s groundout to second put Texas on the board in the fifth but Toronto scored one of their own in the bottom of the inning when Rajai Davis singled to centre.

The Rangers added another in the seventh but the Blue Jays grounded out the win.

India’s Laxman calls time on his international career

Doubts over Laxman’s form were raised earlier this year

VETERAN India batsman VVS Laxman has called time on his 16-year international career.

Laxman, 37, made the first of 134 Test outings in 1996 and went on to become one of the most feared middle-order batsmen of his generation, compiling 17 centuries, 56 half-centuries and a total of 8,781 runs in the longest form of the game.

However, question marks over his form had been raised following his disappointing performances on India’s tour to Australia earlier this year, and the right-hander has now decided to end his international career.

“I have decided to retire from in-

ternational cricket with immediate effect,” Laxman told a press conference.

“It’s been 16 years since I have made my international debut for India and I think it is the right time to move on.

“As a youngster it was a dream to represent India and it took a lot of pride to wear the India cap.”

Laxman’s Test career got off to a dream start when he made a halfcentury on his debut against South Africa in November 1996, although he would have to wait until January 2000 to score his maiden century - the first of six that he would make against Australia.

In 2001 Laxman produced one of the most memorable innings of all time as his career-best 281 led India to victory after they were asked to follow-on by Australia in Kolkata.

Laxman also made 200, again against Australia, in a drawn Test in Delhi in 2008, while in November of the same year he made his 100th Test outing against the Australians in Nagpur.

Doubts over Laxman’s international future surfaced earlier this year when he turned in a lamentable performance in India’s 4-0 whitewash at the hands of Australia, the batsman failing to get past two runs in four of eight innings.

Sport Pepper Lane takes historic victory in St Wilfrid

Five-year-old mare Pepper Lane wins the Great St Wilfrid for the second successive year

PEPPER Lane became the first horse to land back-to-back victories in the William Hill Great St Wilfrid Handicap when returning to form with a bang at Ripon.

The five-year-old mare, trained by David O’Meara, had shown little in her previous three starts this season, but a return to her favourite track, where she has now won four times, and the application of a firsttime hood worked the oracle.

Pepper Lane (20-1) was smartly away on the far side and soon led the field a merry dance under Danny Tudhope, while Lexi’s Hero was in front on the near side, though some way behind the far group.

The well-backed Alben Star tried to put in a challenge, but it was short lived as Pepper Lane kept on galloping strongly to the line to win by a length and a half from Tax Free.

Louis The Pious was another length and three-quarters away in third and Captain Ramius was fourth.

“This year has been very tricky,”

said O’Meara.

“She kept missing the break, so we had no idea whether she was in form or not.

“She was giving her race away at the start.

“We’ve done a lot of work with her.

“I don’t know if the hood helped or not. They have become quite popular of late and it hasn’t done her any harm. A lot of credit has to go to the lads at home.

“She is very good on her day and she loves it here.”

Tudhope said: “She’s not been in form all year, so we weren’t too sure how she’d run.

“I was always travelling well, but I thought I went a bit too soon, to be honest.

“When she’s in form she takes some pegging back and she loves the track.”

O’Meara and Tudhope made it a brace wen Miss Ellany (4-1) took the British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Fillies’

Handicap.

The Richard Fahey stable may have been out of luck with Alben Star, but still managed to chalk up a double with Grey Street and El Viento.

The latter got home on the far side to claim the consolation race for the Great St Wilfrid, the William Hill Silver Trophy Handicap.

Tony Hamilton produced the 12-1 shot at the right time to take it up after Damika had set the pace.

The 5-2 favourite Prodigality came flying on the near side and was just a short head down at the line - but many lengths clear of those on the same part of the course.

Hamilton said: “I thought I’d won a bit easier. I glanced across and thought I was further than a short head clear.

“Eddie Ahern rode him in the Stewards’ Cup consolation race at Goodwood and said he was unlucky, so coming here I was quite confident.”

Bledisloe victory over Aussies for New Zealanders

Perth to put Western Australia on golfing map

All Blacks land an early blow in the battle for the inaugural Rugby Championship

By Stuart Condie NEW Zealand landed an early blow in the battle for the inaugural Rugby Championship when they beat Australia 27-19 yesterday to maintain their iron grip on the Bledisloe Cup. The World Cup holders raced into an 18-3 lead in the opening game of the newly expanded tournament, which now includes Argentina, through tries

by Israel Dagg and Cory Jane before veteran lock Nathan Sharpe crossed just before halftime for the Wallabies’ only try.

Berrick Barnes’ kicking hauled Australia to within five points, to leave the New Zealand outfit facing an uncomfortable final few minutes.

But then Dan Carter’s fifth successful penalty ensured that the All Blacks take pole position ahead of next weekend’s return fixture in Auckland.

Defending southern hemisphere champions Australia troubled their transTasman rivals when they had the ball in hand but a raft of missed tackles and a couple of knock-ons at key moments effectively handed the win to the All Blacks.

Carter kicked 17 points but the biggest difference between the sides in a stop-start match at Sydney’s Olympic Stadium

Australia 19 New Zealand 27 was the speed of the ball won by the New Zealand forwards - and the mistakes made by the Wallabies as the black shirts came at them.

New Zealand will now keep hold of the Bledisloe Cup for a 10th year in a row.

“You could say its rustiness, who knows,” Barnes said.

“We’re going to have to go back to the drawing board and rectify it.

“We’ve got a long way to go,” he added.

SOLID SCRUM The visitors’ solid scrum laid the platform for their first-half tries and only the regular whistling of referee Alain Rolland kept the Wallabies from being even more comprehensively dominated at the set piece.

The score was 3-3 when Sonny Bill Williams ran decoy to let Carter carry the ball away from the scrum to meet the Australia midfield, slipping a delayed pass to Dagg. The fullback tore past opposite number Kurtley Beale on the left touchline and scored in the corner.

The hapless Beale was then culpable for New Zealand’s second try, knocking

on a kick under no pressure inside his own 22.

The All Blacks sprayed the ball left to right from the resulting scrum and Dagg swiftly deposited the ball in Jane’s hands on the right for the winger to score.

Australia made a final attack of the half and Digby Ioane powered through only to be hauled down just short. Will Genia popped the ball up off the ground for Sharpe to go over for his eighth try from 106 tests.

Barnes pulled the Wallabies to within eight points with the conversion and the gap was just five points within five minutes of the restart after the flyhalf landed another penalty.

Carter and Barnes then traded kicks before the New Zealand flyhalf restored the cushion with his fourth successful penalty.

Dagg was bundled into touch as he raced in for a second try in the right corner following a break

by Liam Messam and Jane spilled just short of the line on the other wing.

The All Blacks looked to be home and dry but Barnes again hauled the Wallabies to within a try and the majority of the 76,877 fans were roaring, only to be silenced as the ball was hacked clear and Carter made the game safe with the final kick of the match.

LAST year’s U.S. Masters champion Charl Schwartzel will tee off at the October 1821 Perth International, which organisers hope will become a major stop on the golfing calendar for years to come.

With prize money of $2 million, the event will become Australia’s richest and world number nine Jason Dufner is another who will appear at Lake Karrinyup.

“It’s the biggest purse in Australia and we are pushing for more big names in the run-up to the event,” spokesperson Janine Pittaway told Reuters on Friday.

“The event is supported by the tour of Western Australia and the plan is for it to become a long-term tournament for Western Australia, like the Heineken Classic and Johnnie Walker Classic.”

South African Schwartzel has already won seven times on the European Tour, culminating in his stunning victory at the 2011 US Masters, where he became the first player to birdie the final four holes to win at Augusta.

The 27-year-old will be bidding to emulate countrymen Gary Player, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, who are all past champions at Lake Karrinyup.

“I have always enjoyed the people and the culture (in Australia) and the great sporting rivalry between our countries in cricket and rugby,” Schwartzel said in a statement. “I am looking forward to visiting Perth and hopefully I can continue the South African success at Lake Karrinyup.”

Dufner has been a model of consistency this year, the 35-year-old runner-up at the 2011 U.S. PGA Championship and boasting seven top 10 finishes this season.

“Hopefully I can continue my good play Down Under,” said Dufner. “I am excited to have the opportunity to play in Western Australia for the first time.”

Adkins aiming beyond mere survival

By Simon Peach

Ambitious: Southampton coach Nigel Adkins said there were behind the scenes transfer possibilities for his side

SOUTHAMPTON manager Nigel Adkins is aiming for more than just survival as the club prepares for its first top-flight fixture in seven years.

The south coast side have been on a turbulent ride since relegation from the Premier League in 2005 and three years ago were on the brink of bankruptcy.

However, the club survived and moved on, with back-to-back promotions putting them back in the top tier.

They kick off their campaign at champions Manchester City today and Adkins will not be taking life at the top for granted.

“We want to be very ambitious and have said that from the start,” he said.

“The important thing, having just got back-to-back promotions and the football club having been out of

the Premier League for so long, is now we’re back we don’t want to go ‘ah, we’re back there now’ and take your foot off the pedal. “(In a bid to stay there) we worked very hard through the course of the summer to identify players.

“I think when you look at the Euros and Olympics then you probably find that a lot of transfers throughout the course of the summer have been very slow.

‘BEHIND THE SCENES’ “A lot of things have been waiting and growing behind the scenes and normally it is in the last couple of days where the majority of the transfers are done.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if you might find more transfers across the leagues are all done and I’d like to think Southampton would be one of the clubs that may make one, two or three more additions into the group that we’ve got.”

Bologna’s Gaston Ramirez and

Blackpool’s Matt Phillips are amongst those Adkins is trying to bring to the club before the end of the month.

As well as adding wide men, the Saints boss has made no secret of his desire to shore up the central defence, but has been thwarted so far.

“I’d like to get one in to start off but if we can get two even better,” Adkins said.

“I wouldn’t say I have been frustrated, this is what football is.

“Our endeavour is to keep improving and the reality is you target players. Maybe there is only certain calibre of players you are going to target and other teams are going to target as well.

“Sometimes you can get the players, sometimes you can’t. I know Southampton works very hard in the different departments to make things happen.

“Sometimes they don’t and then you just have to move on to the next one.”

Martinez unhappy with window of uncertainty

‘City are the biggest threat,’ says United boss Ferguson

ROBERTO Martinez is willing to select Victor Moses in his Wigan side to face Chelsea today, but is braced for the phone to ring with news that the striker is leaving for the London club.

The 21-year-old forward has courted interest from the Champions League winners this summer, with Wigan chairman Dave Whelan accusing them of “messing about” in their pursuit of him.

He wants them to stump up a fee of £9million but, as that valuation has yet to be met, Moses remains available for Martinez to pick.

He intends to do that today but, should Chelsea or any other club decide to rustle up the necessary funds, he could be shorn of one of his key performers last season.

As a result, he has called for the transfer window to be changed so that it is only open during the off-season, saying: “I don’t like it, I have expressed many times that I don’t agree with the transfer window going on while there are official games.

“I have always said that. I do feel there is a need for a transfer window, it is beneficial, but I don’t think it helps when it is open when you are playing official games. It happens everywhere, it gives you uncertainty and I don’t think that helps the game. The players are footballers but they are human beings.”

Chelsea counterpart Roberto Di Matteo was coy when asked about Moses on Friday, but if he remains interested, he is likely to get a front-row view of the former Crystal Palace man today.

Martinez has no qualms with playing Moses either, despite the Spaniard knowing that a display akin to the ones he produced in the second half of last season could be the arm-twister Chelsea need to meet Whelan’s demands.

‘Is (Mancini) ever going to realise he has got a decent team himself?’

By Simon Stone SIR Alex Ferguson is certain Manchester City will be the biggest threat to Manchester United’s hopes of reclaiming their Premier League title.

Following the arrival of Robin van Persie from Arsenal, Blues manager Roberto Mancini reiterated his belief the Red Devils are favourites to take away the crown his own side won so dramatically in May. Ferguson just scoffs at the suggestion, as he does with Mancini’s claim that United are the ones with the best array of strikers.

“We are favourites every week according to him (Mancini),” said Ferguson.

“Is he ever going to realise he has got a decent team himself?

“Our biggest threat this season are Manchester City.

“Chelsea have won the European Cup, which is the trophy Roman Abramovich has been after.

“Now he has got excited again and loosened the purse strings to sign a few players.

“I am almost certain they will be challenging.

“But I look at Manchester City as our biggest danger.”

Van Persie goes straight into

Newly-signed Robin Van Persie (seen here in his Arsenal colours) goes straight into Ferguson’s squad for Monday’s trip to Everton, though likely to start on the bench due to a lack of recent match practice Ferguson’s squad for Monday’s trip to Everton, even though he is likely to start on the bench due to a lack of recent match practice.

However, the United boss is just delighted to have snared his number one summer transfer target, who at the end of last season, he felt there was no chance of landing.

“We never thought we could

get Van Persie,” said Ferguson.

“I thought Arsenal are not going to let him go.

“When I read he had refused a new contract that is when we acted.

“It has been a long haul and he (Wenger) got a great price - he could win a poker school in Govan.

“But we are happy the matter is concluded.”

A cynic might suggest Ferguson went for Van Persie because, having celebrated his 70th birthday, the United boss simply does not have the time to wait for a new team to emerge as bona-fide challengers to City.

In Van Persie’s case, the Red Devils are buying the finished article and someone Ferguson is adamant will ensure United never again suf-

fer the trauma of losing the league on goal difference.

“No matter the years of experience we have had in terms of winning titles, last year was different,” said Ferguson.

“It was the first time anyone has beaten us on goal difference.

“It cost us the league and it won’t happen again, trust me on that.”

Swansea destroy Rangers with impressive 5-0 opener Michu, Dyer score two apiece, Sinclair sinks winner QPR 0 Swansea 5

By Simon Peach MICHAEL Laudrup got life at the Swansea helm off to the best possible start as his side thrashed QPR at Loftus Road to go joint top of the Barclays Premier League.

Only eight minutes were on the clock when Michu struck the first goal of the Premier League season.

The Spaniard collected a loose ball on the edge of the box and unleashed a low shot that, while well struck, should have been dealt with

by Rob Green.

Michu then hit the crossbar as half-time approached after fellow summer signing Chico had done the same, before Laudrup’s side ran away with proceedings in the second half.

First Michu exquisitely curled home a left-footed strike, before Nathan Dyer netted twice and Scott Sinclair came off the bench to lash home a fifth.

So much had been expected from QPR fans coming into the game after the club brought in eight new faces in a bid to avoid the struggles of last season.

Green, Fabio and Junior Hoilett were among those to move to W12 and were all

Michael Laudrup’s side got off to the best possible start, thrashing QPR at Loftus Road handed their debuts yesterday afternoon. The biggest arrival of the summer was Manchester United’s Park Ji-sung, who was handed the captain’s armband on his first QPR appearance.

Swansea themselves included three debutants in their starting line-up.

The Swans broke forward after an end-to-end start and

Michu collected a loose ball to hit home a low shot from 22 yards.

However, as well as Michu struck the ball, Green let the long-range strike squeeze into the corner when it looked easier to save.

Another Swansea debutant to make an important early impact was defender Chico, who cleared off the line after

Michel Vorm fumbled a closerange Jamie Mackie shot.

Hoilett then wriggled down the left, cut inside and unleashed a right-foot strike that went just wide of the far post.

Mark Hughes’ side continued to press with Adel Taarabt and Fabio next to get shots away, before Hoilett rose highest to meet a cross

from the latter. His header went just wide and Taarabt followed it up moments later with a fierce drive that was easily dealt with by Vorm.

However, he had to do much better to thwart the Morocco international’s next attempt, which had looked set for the bottom right-hand corner.

For all of QPR’s attacking endeavour, though, they looked shaky at the back as the first half came to a close.

First Jonathan de Guzman, another of Swansea’s summer signings, fired a 35-yard free-kick that forced Green to palm wide.

Chico rattled the crossbar with a header from the resulting corner, before Michu hit the goal frame in a penaltybox melee at another corner.

Half-time allowed Hughes to give his side a pep talk, but it did not work.

After Hoilett saw a penalty appeal waved away during a bright QPR start, Michu doubled Swansea’s advantage eight minutes into second period.

Former QPR winger Wayne Routledge ran at the home defence and passed to the former Rayo Vallecano man, who curled a superb left-footed strike into the top corner.

The Rs then fell further behind, with Dyer collecting the ball in space and slotting home past Green. And in the 71st minute substitute Kemy Agustien fired a great ball over to Dyer, who showed good control and then slotted home from close range.

Things got worse for the hosts as the visitors made it 5-0 in the 81st minute, with substitute Sinclair firing home in front of the Loft End. “Boring, boring Swansea” rang around Loftus Road from the away end and Danny Graham came close to making it six with a shot that just went across the face of the goalmouth - sparing QPR supporters anymore pain.

Gunners begin life without RVP with a goalless draw against Black Cats Arsenal 0 Sunderland 0

By Jim van Wijk ARSENAL started life after Robin van Persie with a frustrating goalless draw against Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.

The Holland striker - whose 30 goals had dragged the Gunners into third place last season - on Friday completed a £24-million move to Manchester United, having made it clear earlier in the summer he would not be signing a new deal.

Arsene Wenger’s side, boasting summer signings Lukas Podolski, the German striker, and impressive Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla in the starting XI, enjoyed plenty of possession, but lacked a killer instinct in the final third.

When a clear opening eventually came

their way late in the second half, substitute Olivier Giroud, who netted 21 goals for Montpellier last season, fired wide.

While there were plenty of positives to take from the workrate of his side, manager Arsene Wenger will know there must be an improvement in conversion rate if Arsenal are to challenge over the course of the season.

New skipper Thomas Vermaelen received a warm welcome from the returning Arsenal faithful, along with summer signings Cazorla and Podolski in the starting line-up.

It was a lively start by the hosts, but a resolute Sunderland defence countered efforts

by Cazorla and Abou Diaby in the first half.

The second half followed the same pattern, with the hosts left frustrated by some stern defending as much as their own poor choice of final pass.

Arsenal pressed in search of a winner during four minutes of stoppage time, but had to be content with just a point - which was greeted by boos from some home supporters.

Twitter warning reiterated for Red Devils SIR Alex Ferguson has once again reminded Manchester United’s players to beware how they use Twitter.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was on Friday fined £45,000 by an Independent Regulatory Commission after an improper conduct charge tabled against him following a posting on the popular social media site was proven.

In responding to a comment from one of his followers that Ashley Cole was a ‘choc-ice’ and admitting he believed the term to be derogatory towards someone of black or mixed race person, Ferdinand was found to have breached FA Rule E3.

It is the latest - and one of the most high-profile and contentious disciplinary cases involving Twitter.

Ferguson has stated on more than one occasion his complete bewilderment at the Twitter phenomenon, and wants to avoid such problems in the future.

“Twitter; I do not understand it,” he said. “I don’t know why anybody can be bothered with it.

“But it is there and as a club we have given instructions to the players that they cannot talk about Manchester United.

“Rio is mature but he still has to remember that one word can make a difference and you can’t take it back.”

Ferguson said he felt the FA, following a recent warning by chairman David Bernstein, were out to make their mark.

“It was almost certain to happen,” he said. “They (the FA) want to close the door on this kind of thing.

“What surprised me (is) that other players have been twittering for ages and have never been challenged by the FA. “His status in the game has caused that and who he plays for is maybe another issue.”

Di Matteo happy with striking options

By Ben Rumsby ROBERTO Di Matteo believes Chelsea could pose a serious Barclays Premier League title challenge with only two recognised strikers.

Blues fans have watched Manchester United add Robin van Persie to a fearsome front line that already included Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez, with champions Manchester City maintaining their roster of Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have allowed Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Romelu Lukaku to move on, leaving them with only Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge as recognised spearheads.

The Blues have been linked with a host of forwards and manager Di Matteo has admitted more than once they are “a bit light” up front.

But he will go into today’s first league game of the season with

what he has and insisted he was “happy” to do so, confident there were plenty of goals elsewhere in the team.

“I am happy with what we have now,” Di Matteo said.

“I said that in certain areas we are a little bit light but we have signed some very good players and I’m sure they will score goals for us.”

He added: “We’ve got two very good strikers who can score goals and I’m sure they will.

‘NEED TO DIVERSIFY’ “Fernando has started the season very well, scoring last weekend.

And we need the other players to chip in - Juan Mata, Oscar, Eden Hazard.

“Frank Lampard always scores goals, Ramires at the end of last season scored goals. So I think we need to diversify it between the team.

“We have signed some very good goalscoring midfield players and

they will have to share.”

That is demanding a lot from players such as Oscar and Hazard in their first season at the club but Di Matteo said: “They have come to a big club and the expectations are high and the pressure will be on for everybody, not just the manager but the whole team as well.

“We have to start well and try and get these players settled as quickly as possible and make sure that they can express themselves and all the qualities they have for the team.”

It is even more crucial the new signings settle quickly after Di Matteo revealed Mata would be rested after a gruelling schedule that saw him play at both the European Championship and Olympics.

Di Matteo revealed he had already spoken to Spain about Mata not being picked for the autumn internationals, adding: “At the end of the day, you need to look after the welfare of the player.

“I think it would make sense to do something like this.”

The Blues boss is content, even though Torres (left) and Sturridge are Chelsea’s sole recognised spearheads

Reds suffer crushing defeat West Brom make it a grim day for Liverpool’s new coach West Brom 3 Liverpool 0

By John Curtis

W

est Brom stunned 10-man Liverpool with a resounding victory to mark the start of the Steve Clarke era in style in yesterday’s Barclays Premier League encounter at the Hawthorns.

A superb strike from Zoltan Gera, Peter Odemwingie’s penalty plus a header from on-loan newcomer Romelu Lukaku made it a miserable day for new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool also had defender Daniel Agger sent off early in the second period and looked a shambles at the back in the final-half hour.

Their day was summed up by striker Luis Suarez, who could have had a hattrick before Liverpool were swept aside after Agger’s dismissal.

Albion, who also saw Shane Long miss a spotkick, got to grips with the midfield area with James Morrison an inspirational figure.

West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie’s (left) successful penalty shot followed Gera in scoring for the hosts. A header for team mate Lukaku thereafter made it 3-0 against Liverpool for the victorious Baggies But for Rodgers this was a reminder that there is much work to do before Liverpool re-emerge as a potent force.

Albion started brightly and Liam Ridgewell was only just too high with a 20yard drive while Long’s chip flew over the bar after he dispossessed Lucas Leiva.

But the first save of note came from Baggies keeper Ben Foster who parried

away a powerful 20-yard drive from Suarez after a weaving run.

The home side were fortunate to win a free-kick when Long stumbled over Martin Skrtel, but Steven Reid was unable to take advantage as his set piece was deflected wide.

Suarez looked sharp and turned inside Gareth McAuley before forcing another save out of Foster.

He should have scored after half an hour when heading over from the edge of the six yard box after attacking a Glen Johnson centre.

Albion came back strongly in the final minutes of the half which culminated in them taking the lead after 42 minutes.

Johnson was booked for a foul on Odemwingie and, although Reid’s free-kick

was deflected wide, the resulting corner led to the deadlock being broken.

Morrison’s centre was headed away by Skrtel but Gera seized on the ball and in an instant flashed an unstoppable rising shot past Pepe Reina from 20 yards out.

Suarez’s frustration boiled over in first half injury-time when he was yellow carded for dissent.

Liverpool started the second half on the offensive and Suarez floated a free-kick wide after being brought down on the edge of the box by Youssouf Mulumbu.

But the Baggies weathered the initial storm and doubled their lead from the second of two penalties awarded them in the space of six minutes.

The Reds were reduced to 10 men after 58 minutes when Agger pulled back Long just inside the box, only for the Republic of Ireland striker’s weak spot kick to be saved by Reina.

But referee Phil Dowd awarded another penalty when he adjudged that Skrtel had tripped Long although this seemed a harsh decision.

This time Odemwingie took the spot-kick and hammered the ball past Reina.

Suarez missed a golden chance to reduce the arrears when he shot over from six yards after Foster had dropped a Steven Gerrard corner.

But Albion were now carving chances at will and Morrison shot wide with the goal at his mercy before substitute Lukaku put the icing on the cake for Albion after 77 minutes.

Mulumbu’s shot was deflected into the path of Ridgewell and his lovely lob to the back post was headed in at the far post by the on-loan Chelsea player.
