Saudi man stabs French consulate guard• The French Embassy said the consulate was subject to an “attack by knife

Reuters | Dubai

A Saudi man was arrested in Jeddah after attacking and

injuring a guard with a “sharp tool” at the French consulate yesterday, Saudi state TV report-ed.

The French Embassy said the consulate was subject to an “at-tack by knife which targeted a guard”, adding the guard was taken to hospital and his life was not in danger.

“The French embassy strong-ly condemns this attack against a diplomatic outpost which nothing could justify,” an em-bassy statement said.

Police spokesperson Major

Mohammed al-Ghamdi said the special force for diplomatic se-curity was able to arrest a Saudi man in his 40s, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The attack happened after a knife-wielding man beheaded a woman and killed two other people in the French city of Nice earlier on Thursday.

The attacks are believed to be a response to the caricature mocking Turkey’s President

printed on the front page of French satirical magazine Char-lie Hebdo on Wednesday, and the recent projection of images of the Prophet onto buildings in Paris. The attacker had said he wanted to punish Samuel Paty for showing pupils cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad for a class on free speech.

Saudi Arabia on Tuesday con-demned cartoons offending the Prophet Mohammad.

• Nordic Monitor firm on claims

• Revealing came during a court trial

Tribune | agencies

A report claiming that the Turkish ruling party accepted a $65 million

bribe from a Qatari intelligence officer to fast track the deploy-ment of Turkish troops in Qatar, has now been denied by Turkey.

The Stockholm-based Nordic Monitor in its report last month claimed that a senior member of President Recep Tayyip Er-dogan’s Justice and Develop-ment Party (AKP) received a bribe from Qatari intelligence for troop deployment.

The claims quote a 19-page intelligence report discussed in

a Turkish court during a trial. The document reportedly

described how Ahmet Berat Conkar, the head of the Turk-ish parliament’s foreign affairs commission in 2015, secretly communicated and accepted a $65 million bribe from a Qatari intelligence officer to fast track the military deal with Qatar through Turkey’s parliament.

According to the Nordic Mon-itor, the intelligence report was brought up by Rear Adm. Sinan Surer during his trial over his alleged role in the failed military

coup of 2016. Surer, who was responsible

for the external intelligence branch of the Turkish military at the time, raised details of the document during his testimony after accusations by pro-Erdo-gan Turkish media outlets that he had prepared it himself.

“The reason for his insist-ence is that pro-Erdogan media picked up some parts from the document and published fake stories as if he was the one who

wrote it. He sent corrections to the media, filed a motion with the prosecutor’s office with no avail,” Nordic Monitor’s director Abdullah Bozkurt told Al Arabi-ya.

The ‘Royal Bahrain peak’ of Nepal Nepal’s Samagaon authorities rename a mountain to honour Bahrain’s Everest team

• Samagaon renamed the mountain in honour of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa

• The renamed “Royal Bahrain peak” is 5200m, 17000ft, above sea level

TDT | Manama

The remarkable feat of conquering Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain

in the world, by Bahrain’s Ever-est team, has landed yet another honour for Bahrain.

To honour the achievement, authorities in Samagaon have renamed a mountain there in honour of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

The renamed “Royal Bahrain peak” is 5200m, 17000ft, above sea level.

On their way to Manaslu - 8,163 meters above sea-level, the 15-member Bahraini team scaled Mt Lobuje East, which is above 6,119 metres above sea-level to acclimatise with the conditions.

The climb was also the first summit achievement for a mountaineering team in the au-tumn season.

The Everest teamAccording to Himalayan

Times, members of the royal expedition team included Brit-ish nationals Richard Warren Mc- Connel, Phillip Clough and Christopher Anthony. The Bah-

raini nationals in the sum-mit team included Ebrahim Mohamed Abdulla Ebrahim Mohamed, Mohamed Ali Jasim Ahmed Alboainain, Arafat Hamood Naji Ghur-bah, Ebrahim Khalil Ebrahim Zayed Mohamed Aljazzaf, Ahmed Said Ahmed Isa Alkabbi and Arif Feroz Shah Murad Qa-lunder Ghulam.

The other Bahraini citizens in the team included Mohamed Adul Rahman Yusuf Alkawari, Khaled Ali Hasan Ebrahim Hasan Aldossery, Abdulaziz Rafea Abbar Khalaf Alabed, Khaled Sultan Mohamed Abdul-la Alsheerwai, Murad Mohamed Yusuf Abdul Sayed, Ebrahim Ali Salem Jaber, Saud Hamad Mubarak Hamad Eid and Mo-hamed Isa Abdulla Yusuf Alqais.

The 18-member Royal Guard was assigned by HH Shaikh Nas-ser to raise the flags of Bahrain

and the Royal Guard on the sum-mit of Mount Manaslu, one of only 14 mountains in the world to exceed 8,000 meters, and known as the deadly mountain in the world of climbing.

More than 50 sherpas also took part in the expedition.

Next stop Everest

Next stop for the Bahrain mountaineers is Mount Ever-est, which they would attempt to scale in the spring of 2021.

Nepal halted its expedition activities in March as COVID-19 spread in the Himalayan nation, which reopened making way for the Bahrain team to achieving the success.

LMRA gets new branch in Sitra • The new branch in Sitra Industrial Area for the legal enforcement sector

TDT | Manama

The Labour Market Regula-tory Authority has opened a

new integrated branch for legal enforcement in Sitra.

The specially designed facility in the Sitra Industrial Zone now works on a trial basis for two weeks before opening doors to public starting in mid-Novem-ber.

The CEO of the Labor Market Regulatory Authority, Osama bin Abdullah Al Absi, said the new branch - located near the Expatriate Services Branch in Sitra Industrial Area - will help auditors from citizens, residents and business owners, and re-duce processing time.

Al-Absi said this is the first

specialised branch of the La-bour Market Regulatory Au-thority which houses all the facilities that support business owners.

The facility, built on an area of one thousand square me-ters, has more than 100 parking spots.

The new branch will provide

services of the preventive and labour inspection departments, which interviews employers, process claims of employers, complaints, inquiries and tes-timonies in criminal cases amongst others.

The new branch will operate five days a week from Sunday to Thursday from 7:30 in the morning until 3:30 in the af-ternoon.

The authority said it receives approximately 650,000 refer-ences annually, which are pro-cessed through six branches including the main building, the Salman Port branch, the Riffa - Al Buhair area branch, and the Expatriate Services Branch in Sitra Industrial Area.

The new branch in Sitra In-dustrial Area for the legal en-forcement sector is in addition to providing the same at Bahrain International Airport.

Allegations during Surer’s testimony

(Continues from Page 1)

However, in a written statement to Al Arabiya

by Turkey’s Consul General in Dubai on Monday, Conkar himself rejected the allegation of bribery and instead alleged that the Nordic Monitor affili-ates with the movement alleg-edly behind the 2016 Turkish coup attempt.

“The allegation of bribery in the article, referring as its source to the website ‘Nordic Monitor’ owned and run by persons known to be affiliat-ed to the Fetullahist Terror-ist Organisation (FETO), is a disgraceful utterance of com-pletely ungrounded slanders that serves as black propagan-da,” Conkar said, in the state-ment sent by Turkey’s Consul General in Dubai Ilker Kilic.

In response, Nordic Mon-itor told Al Arabiya that the allegations were made during

Surer’s testimony in a Turkish court after the intelligence was intercepted by Turkey’s MIT intelligence agency and that Conkar should therefore redi-rect his complaint to Turkish intelligence.

“According to the informa-tion obtained from a source, Berat Conkar communicat-ed with a Qatari intelligence officer before the session [in the Foreign Affairs Com-mittee] to push the law [that allowed the deployment of Turkish military units in Qa-tar] and received a $65 mil-lion bribe,” the Nordic Monitor quoted Surer as saying in the article.

“It has nothing to do with a coup attempt, and it took place before that,” the author of the article told Al Arabiya.

The author also confirmed cross-checking some of the allegations such as the chang-ing of the dates in the Foreign Affairs Commission.

Baby dies in womb: Mother alleges medical negligence

Bahraini authorities open probe into allegations, Health centre authorities in the dock

• Complaint says inflammation linked to blood poisoning killed the foetus

• Foetus was removed by cesarean

TDT | Manama

A Bahraini woman has filed a complaint against a health centre here al-

leging it of medical negligence which caused her to undergo an abortion at the eighth month of her pregnancy.

The woman also suffered physical deformation after the condition forced her to undergo several operations.

The woman says the pain-ful episode began with her ap-proaching a health centre here with pain all over the body.

The complaint claims the health centre staff took her im-mediately into an emergency department for pregnant women but failed to examine or diag-nosed her.

A physician met her in the evening only to inform her that she was suffering nothing but exhaustion, while also prescrib-ing here drugs.

The pain, according to the woman, became intense by then with her also starting vomiting.

By that time, her left shoulder

was swollen and become unnat-ural in size.

Doctors diagnosed her later found that the infection causing

the inflammation of her shoul-der also poisoning her blood, killing her baby prematurely.

The woman was subjected to several operations to save her life and to remove the dead fetus by cesarean.

The General Attorney, Coun-sellor Hussein Al-Bu Ali, Chief Prosecutor for ministries and public bodies, is in now investi-gating the complaint.

The prosecution said has re-corded the testimonies of the complainant and her husband.

The lady was also subjected to a forensic examination to deter-mine the extent of the injuries.

The investigation is probing the connection of the woman’s condition to the death of the fetus.

The prosecution also delegat-ed a committee concerned with reporting medical errors in the National Authority for the Regu-lation of Professions and Health Services.

The latest case on medical negligence also follows the shocking death of twin babies

at Salmaniya Medical Complex. The infants, SMC doctors ad-

judged dead were found alive by their father at the time of the burial.

A probe is currently on-going into the shocking inci-dent to determine whether a medical error or negligence is involved.

A weekly Cabinet session chaired by HRH Prince Sal-man bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Su-preme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister recent-ly reviewed measures taken to produce the final report on the investigation.

Bahrainis go on a property buying spree Real estate registrations in the Kingdom touch new heights in October overcoming the lows in March, April and May

• Investors now directing bank deposits to realty

• People’s fears about the pandemic have decreased

• Market is getting revivied to the near previous state

TDT | Manama

Investors in the Kingdom are on a property buying spree to

secure their wealth in more prof-itable sectors with little risks, amid the coronavirus (COVID-10) pandemic, a top expert in Bah-rain’s realty sector said.

Their buying spree has caused the sector to regain its momen-tum, which got lost in the down-turn caused by the deadly out-break.

Latest data showed, the real estate registrations are surging and have reached 1,920 in Oc-tober, which is also the highest recorded so far this year.

This new found energy in the sector, according to the Chair-

man of the Bahrain Real Estate Association, Nasser Ali Al Ahli, is mainly due to people return-ing to the market looking for “more profitable sectors with little risks” to secure their funds.

“The real estate operations didn’t stop, but they retreated slightly due to the fears and panic caused by this pandemic, lack of clarity of vision, and the

total stoppage of the business environment in Bahrain and the world,” an AlAyam reported quoted Al Ahly as saying.

According to him, “Things are very different now.” “Peo-ple have started practising life normally. Whoever had plans to buy a house, land or building and postponed it because of Corona, is now back, which contributed to the rise in real estate regis-tration.”

Fixed deposit losing charmOne of the reasons for the

current surge, according to Al Ahly, is that investors and cit-izens who had small amounts deposited in banks in the form of fixed deposits are directing those funds to more profitable sectors with little risks.”

“This is especially because of the low rates of returns on fixed

deposits in banks that do not exceed 1 per cent,” he added.

People, he said, are now with-drawing their deposits and in-vesting in real estate by buying small buildings or houses, and even buying land as future in-vestments that would yield high-er returns than bank deposits.

The current uptick in regis-tration also follows a dip during the March, April and May, where the total number of registration were 732.

Realty started kicking back in June where the registrations reached 1,133. July followed with 1,349 transactions. Activ-ities continued to get stronger in August by recording 1,642 transactions.

The activities slowed down a bit again in September, where total transactions were 1,447, before returning to a record high in October.

In terms of volume, the val-ue of real estate transactions in October touched 71.588 million dinars, bringing the total volume of real estate trading until end October of this year to 554.455 million dinars.

The volume of real estate trad-ing until the end of the third quarter was 482.867 million di-nars.

Arad primary Girls school excels in Arab Reading challengeTDT | Manama

Arad Primary School for Girls emerged as the best Bah-

raini school in the Arab Reading Challenge qualifying round held for the government and private schools in the Kingdom.

The Arab Reading Challenge is a literacy initiative, launched in 2015 by the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives, a phil-anthropic foundation based in Dubai in the United Arab Emir-ates (UAE).

“Winning first place among other public and private schools in the Kingdom will have a great impact on the school in going forward,” said Professor Hanadi Al-Maqhawi, the school prin-cipal.

The school, Al-Maqhawi said, done careful planning, followed up it works and excelled in de-

veloping creative ideas for the seventeen sustainable develop-

ment goals as well as reading strategies for differently chal-

lenged classes. Al-Maqhawi added: The

school also developed a learning resource centre environment, making it more interesting and attractive with the creation of a digital garden and a café for reading.” The school also took care to convert the competition stages from paper to digital, tak-ing into account the exceptional circumstances, which contrib-uted to the participation of all school students in the compe-tition.”

More than a third of its stu-dents were able to complete the five stages, which reflected their increased awareness, linguis-tic ability, as they worked on producing several digital and electronic stories for students and teachers.

Al-Maqhawi said that the school dedicates its victory to Bahrain, and its wise leadership.

No contract violations in HafeeraWorks ministry says received 93pc of usufruct right from Hafeera quarry

• Nass Asphalt operates the quarry since February 2016

• The operating company have transferred 9,187,892 dinars, which constitutes 93pc of the total value

• Demand hampered by illegal mining, coronavirus pandemic

TDT | Manama

The report that the con-tractor of Hafeera stone quarry in the Kingdom

failed to transfer the annual rights of usufruct is incorrect, said the Works ministry in a statement, as it does not reflect the latest developments.

The quarry, operated by Nass Asphalt since February 2016 and at first restricted to fulfilling the requirements of govern-ment projects, is obliged under contract to provide four million tonnes of stones for government projects.

The latest explanation comes after the Office of Financial and Administrative Supervision in its recent report wrote that the

compa-ny failed to pay the ministry of works as per the contract.

The report stated that the

company transferred only one million dinars or 14 pc of BD 7.6 million dinars for the period

from 1 January 2019 to 30 Sep-tember 2019 towards the annual right of usufruct.

The Works ministry now states that the quarry sales since 16 May 2016, which is the date of the start of operation of the quarry, until 20 September 2020, amounted to 5,958,082 tons, and government revenues (right of usufruct) amounted to 9,960,283 dinars.

The operating company have transferred 9,187,892 dinars, which constitutes 93pc of the value.

The ministry explained that the company had faced difficul-ties in marketing quarry prod-ucts to government projects, ow-ing to various reasons including lower demand and the Corona pandemic.

“So, there was a temporary de-lay in transferring government revenues, but these matters were overcome thanks to the govern-ment for allowing the sale of stacked quarry products, which amounted to more than one and a half million tons of landfill ma-terials to the private sector.”

The ministry said production during this period exceeded the demand which negatively im-pacting the company’s financial

position as there was also a sig-nificant increase in operational costs, leading to a temporary failure in the supply of revenues to the government. Illegal min-ing prevalent during the period added to the woes.

The management and opera-tion of the government quarry in the Hafeera region were award-ed to Nass Asphalt Company by the Tender and Auctions Board after reviewing the 17 bids re-ceived.

According to a previous es-timate of the Kingdom’s needs of gravel and rocks, based on market data, was 4 million tons annually, but failed to material-ise owing to factors including illegal quarrying.

In this regard, the ministry also warned that it would not hesitate to take legal measures against contractors who fail to pay contractual fees except for circumstances beyond the control as was the case with the quarry operator.

The ministry noted that it would collect the dues accord-ing to the terms stipulated in the contract.

The Cabinet closed the quarry after repeated complaints from res-idents in 2007, who

claimed stone extraction near their homes was

Oil prices, corporate earnings hurt Saudi

Reuters

Saudi Arabian shares ended lower yesterday as inves-

tors shunned stocks across the board amid tumbling oil prices, while heavyweight In-dustries Qatar weighed on the benchmark.

Oil prices fell 4 per cent to their lowest since mid-June, extending the previous day’s sharp decline on the potential impact that renewed corona-virus lockdowns will have on oil demand. O/R

December Brent crude LCOc1 futures were down $1.90, or 4.9pc, at $37.22 by 1236 GMT.

The kingdom’s benchmark index declined 2.7pc, with petrochemical firm Saudi Ba-sic Industries 2010.SE sliding 3pc and National Commercial Bank shedding 3.3pc

Elsewhere, oil giant Saudi Aramco retreated 1.5pc.

The Organization of the Pe-

troleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies will have to contend with a “lot of de-mand issues” before raising supply in January 2021, given throughput cuts by oil refiners, the head of Saudi Aramco’s trading arm said.

Lower prices and disrup-tions to crude exports could affect the fiscal balances of countries reliant on oil income.

In Qatar, the index .QSI dropped 1.4pc, with petro-chemical firm Industries Qatar declining 3.6pc.

The company earlier this week had reported a net profit of 951 million riyals ($261.26 million) for the first nine months of 2020, down from 2 billion riyals a year earlier.

US economy posts record growth in third quarter• Economy remains 3.5pc below its level at the end of 2019

• Biden highlighted the lack of full recovery

Reuters | Washington

The US economy grew at a historic pace in the third quarter as the govern-

ment injected more than $3 tril-lion worth of pandemic relief which fueled consumer spend-ing, but the deep scars from the COVID-19 recession could take a year or more to heal.

The 33.1 per cent annualised growth rate reported by the Commerce Department yester-day, the last major economic scorecard before next Tuesday’s presidential election, did not ease the human tragedy inflict-ed by the coronavirus pandemic, with tens of millions of Ameri-cans still unemployed and more than 222,000 dead.

The economy remains 3.5pc below its level at the end of 2019 and incomes plunged in the third quarter. Nevertheless, with five days remaining to Election Day President Donald Trump, trailing in most nation-al opinion polls, cheered the report.

“Biggest and Best in the His-tory of our Country, and not even close,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “So glad this great GDP number came out before No-vember 3rd.”

Trump’s Democratic chal-lenger Joe Biden highlighted the lack of full recovery and the rapidly petering growth spurt.

“We are in a deep hole and President Trump’s failure to act has meant that third-quarter growth wasn’t nearly enough to get us out of (it),” said Biden. “The recovery that is happen-ing is helping those at the top, but leaving tens of millions of working families and small busi-nesses behind.”

According to Christopher Way, an associate professor of

government at Cornell Univer-sity, the report “will have abso-lutely zero effect on the election and it is economic performance in the first half of an election year that matters.”

The rebound in gross domes-tic product followed a 31.4pc rate of contraction in the sec-ond quarter, the deepest since the government started keeping records in 1947. On a year-on-year basis GDP jumped 7.4pc last quarter after sinking 9.0pc in the

April-June period. The rebound reversed about two-thirds of the 10.1pc drop in GDP in the first half. By comparison, the economy contracted 4pc peak to trough during the 2007-09 Great Recession.

The government’s rescue package provided a lifeline for many businesses and the un-employed, juicing up consum-er spending, which on its own contributed 76.3pc to the surge in GDP.

But government funding has been depleted with no deal in sight for another round of relief. New COVID-19 cases are spiral-ing across the country, forcing restrictions on businesses like restaurants and bars.

“We still don’t have the level of GDP surpassing the pre-COV-ID level until fourth-quarter 2021 and closing the output gap will take even more time,” said Kevin Cummins, chief U.S. economist at NatWest Markets in Stamford, Connecticut.

Foreshadowing a slowdown in consumer spending, person-al income tumbled at a $540.6 billion rate in the third quarter after surging at a $1.45 trillion pace in the prior period. The drop was attributed to a de-cline in government transfers related to the pandemic relief programs.

Though savings remain high, the pace at which Americans are stashing away money is mod-erating. That, together with persistent layoffs and slowing employment growth could re-strain consumer spending in the coming months.

Elevated layoffsA separate report from the Labor Department on Thursday

showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 40,000 to a seasonally adjusted 751,000 in the week ending Oct. 24. Including a government funded program, 1.1 million people sought unemployment benefits last week.

Though claims have dropped from a record 6.867 million in March, they remain above their 665,000 peak seen during the 2007-09 Great Recession. About 22.7 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits in early October, though many have exhausted their eligibility for state aid.

Just over half of the 22.2 million jobs lost during the pandemic have been recouped.

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy, rebounded at a historic rate of 40.7pc in the third quarter, driven by purchases of goods like motor vehicles, clothing and footwear. Americans also boosted spending on recreation, healthcare and dining out. But spending on services remained below its fourth quarter level.

Spending was boosted by billions of dollars in government transfers, including a $600 weekly unemployment subsidy and a one-off $1,200 check to households. Growth estimates for the fourth quarter are below a 5pc rate.

Country, and not even close. So glad this great GDP number

expenses 15pc.An estimated 14,000 em-

ployees globally, or 15pc, could lose jobs, including contractors, spokesman Casey Norton said. The cuts would include everything from lay-offs to retirements or perfor-mance-based exits.

Thwart US veto or await new prez? WTO in leadership dilemmaReuters | Brussels/Washington

Faced with a veto from the United States, the World

Trade Organisation has two un-palatable options for selecting its next leader - override its biggest paymaster with a vote or hope for a change of US president and wait until he takes charge.

With just days to go before the US election, Donald Trump’s administration struck another blow to the global trade watch-dog on Wednesday by rejecting Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the woman proposed by a nom-ination “troika” to be the WTO’s next director-general.

The woman who would be the first African WTO leader is also a US citizen.

In a short statement, the office of the US Trade Representative said it supported rival candidate, South Korean trade minister Yoo

Myung-hee, as someone with hands-on experience in inter-national trade.

One Geneva-based diplomat said Washington changed di-rection “in a chaotic” way in the very last throes of the leadership race to support Yoo, blocking the

process.“It seems like they were im-

provising,” the diplomat said.William Reinsch, a former

senior Commerce Department official now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, predicted furious dis-

cussions behind the scenes to get the United States to change its position.

Trump has described the WTO as “horrible” and biased towards China and threatened to leave and it is difficult to imagine his administration would acquiesce by Nov. 9, when the WTO will hold a meeting designed to ap-point its new leader.

Even if he loses the election, he will remain in office until January 20, making any early resolution even less likely.

It would not be the first time the WTO has faced a roadblock over its leadership. It has in the past found ways round them.

In 1999, two candidates divid-ed WTO members, with a com-promise finally found to give each a term. New rules were then put in place to avoid a re-peat.

Candidates least likely to at-tract a consensus “shall with-draw”, the 2003 rules say, with a vote to be taken “as a last resort”.

Korea’s Yoo could withdraw, but her team did not respond on Thursday to questions about her future intentions.

Humiliation

A vote may appear an easy fix, but is more a nuclear option.Simon Evenett, trade professor at Switzerland’s Univer-

sity of St Gallen, said large WTO members would see this as an unwelcome precedent.

“Big players like subtle vetos. Publicly losing a vote is humil-iating,” he said.

Washington might see recourse to a vote almost as an act of war. It is not even clear how WTO members would decide to hold one.

This leaves a final possibility, relying on a change of US pres-ident.

Rufus Yerxa, a former senior US trade official who now heads the National Foreign Trade Council, said the result of the U.S. election would be decisive.

“For the people in Geneva that are trying to make this deci-sion, the election will determine if they’re going to be in another showdown fight... or whether they can afford to wait him out and deal with the Biden administration,” he said.

GDP rose last quarter, but visits to food

banks haven’t slowed, and poverty has grown. We’re on track for the worst economic down-turn in over 70 years, and Donald Trump is on track to be the first pres-ident since Herbert Hoo-ver to leave office with less jobs than when he came in.

@JoeBiden

Donald Trump and Republicans had a

choice: Take charge of this virus and pass a re-lief bill, or push through a Supreme Court Justice who could gut the Af-fordable Care Act and overturn Roe. They showed us who they are. Now, let’s vote them out.

@KamalaHarris

GDP number just an-nounced. Biggest and

Best in the History of our Country, and not even close. Next year will be FANTASTIC!!! However, Sleepy Joe Biden and his proposed record setting tax increase, would kill it all. So glad this great GDP number came out before November 3rd.

On September 27, 2020, armed forces of Arme-nia launched a new act of aggression against Azerbaijan by attacking on military postions

of Azerbaijan and densely populated residential areas along the entire perimeter of the front line. In order to prevent another military aggression by Armenia and provide the security of densely populated civilian residential areas the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan undertook counter-offensive measures within the right of self-defence and in full compliance with international law.

On October 9, agreement of humanitarian ceasefire was reached in Moscow at the meeting of foreign minister of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia with mediation of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the ceasefire was to exchange the dead bodies and prisoners of war. At the meeting, it was also agreed to immediately start substantive negotiations under the mediation of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. Only 15 minutes after the ceasefire entered into force on October 10, at 12:00 Armenia continued its attacks on Azerbaijani positions. At night of October 11, Armenia launched missile attack on city Ganja, the second most populated city of Azerbaijan. As result, 10 civilians were killed more than 30 were seriously wounded. Extensive damage was inflicted upon civil-ian infrastructure.

On October 15, the armed forces of Armenia, grossly violating the humanitarian ceasefire regime, continue

to shell the territories of Tartar district with heavy artillery, Armenians once again targeted civilians. The Armenian army fired on the graveyard in the territory of Tartar district during the funeral using heavy artil-lery. As a result of this act of vandalism, four civilians killed, and five wounded.

On the night of 17 October, 2020 the armed forces of Armenia attacked the Ganja city of Azerbaijan with ballistic missiles. This, third in a row atrocious attack on the second biggest city of Azerbaijan, since the new aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan, situated far away from the frontline caused serious civilian casual-ties; 12 civilians, including 2 minors killed, more than 40 people injured.

The occupying Armenian armed forces, in violation of the norms and principles of international law, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Pro-tocols, as well as the requirements of the humanitarian ceasefire agreed after its own persistent requests in Moscow, continues to deliberately target residential settlements in Azerbaijan with heavy artillery fire.

Armenian armed forces subjected to missile attacks the densely populated civilian areas in Ganja, Min-gachevir, Barda, Beylagan, Tartar, Barda and some other cities of Azerbaijan. As a result of Armenia’s artillery and missile attacks, 91 Azerbaijani civilians were killed, 371 injured, more than 2800 residential buildings and civilian objects destroyed (from 27 September to 28 October 2020).

International organizations have denounced the attacks by Armenian forces on civilians in Azerbaijan. On 18 October the UN Secretary-General condemned “all attacks on populated areas” in and around the Nagorno-Karabakh zone of conflict. In a statement released by his Spokesperson, António Guterres de-scribed the “tragic loss of civilian lives, including

children, from the latest reported strike on 16 October” on Azerbaijan’s second largest city of Ganja, as “totally unacceptable”.

On the same day, the European Union Statement has been issued by the Spokesperson on the strikes on the city of Ganja. The European Union deplores the strikes on the Azerbaijani city of Ganja during the night of 16-17 October resulting in civilian loss of life and serious injury. All targeting of civilians and civilian installations by either party must stop. The ceasefire of 10 October must be fully respected without delay.

The Armenian armed forces continue to grossly violate the agreement on a humanitarian ceasefire. On October 27, the enemy targeted civilian population of Azerbaijan’s Barda district and fired banned cluster missiles to civilians.

As a result of the Smerch MLRS missile attack by the armed forces of Armenia on the Barda region of Azerbaijan 4 civilians, including a child were killed and 14 civilians, including children and women, were seriously injured.

On 28 October 2020, the armed forces of Armenia hit the city of Barda of Azerbaijan with a “Smerch” mul-tiple rocket launcher system causing serious civilian causalities. As a result of the treacherous missile attack on the city of Barda 22 civilians, including children were killed and more than 70 people seriously injured.

Targeting yet another time the residential area in the city situated far away from the conflict zone, which

has no signs of military targets exposes once again the terrorist nature of Armenia.

The deliberate killing of a peaceful population in the city of Barda by the armed forces of Armenia con-stitutes an act of genocide, a war crime, and a crime against humanity.

The political-military leadership of Armenia bears full responsibility for this crime against humanity against the Azerbaijani peaceful population.

Armenia blatantly violated 10 October Moscow joint statement, 18 October reaffirmed commitments by the mediation efforts of Paris and 24 October meeting in Washington and agreement on implementing the immediate humanitarian ceasefire. This is yet another demonstration of wilful ignorance by Armenia of its commitments and open disrespect to tireless endeav-ours of international mediators.

By attacking the Azerbaijani residential areas and civilians during the formally declared humanitarian ceasefire and on the eve of the Geneva meeting of the Foreign Ministers of both states with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, Armenia obviously aims to undermine the negotiations, increase the tensions and involve the third states to the conflict.

Remaining silent about the barbaric acts of Armenia and impunity for these crimes against the Azerbaijani peaceful population equals inciting perpetrators for further atrocities.

The international community should take necessary steps to stop Armenia from violating international law, purposefully killing the civilians, and demand to withdraw its armed forces from the occupied territo-ries of Azerbaijan.

Thieves steal rare Nazi uniforms, weapons from Dutch museumsReuters | London

Thieves have stolen rare Nazi helmets, weapons and uni-

forms worth more than 1.5 mil-lion euros ($1.77 million) from two Dutch World War Two museums in recent months, a spokeswoman said.

The break-ins at a museum in Beek in August and Ossen-drecht in the southern Nether-lands two weeks ago prompted a nationwide security review of World War Two museums, said Janneke Kennis, who works at a similar museum in Overloon.

“We don’t think they were stolen to sell openly online, be-cause the weapons are num-bered and are so unique and rare that they would immediately be recognised,” Kennis said.

The thieves were well pre-pared and appeared to have taken items ordered for private

collections, she said.“They probably scouted the

museums to see what they need-

ed to break in, made a list and carried it out very profession-ally,” she said.

At the Eyewitness War Mu-seum in Beek, several vehicles were used in August to get away with the most valuable parts of the collection, estimated to be worth around 1.5 million euros, after burglars forced the gates and rammed the front door.

Knife attack in Nice sends France into further shockThree people killed in stabbing assault as security threat raised to highest, with mayor describing crime as act of ‘terrorism’

• Suspect shot and injured by police after attack in church in southern French city

AFP | Paris

A knife-wielding man killed three people at a church in the French city of Nice yesterday, slitting the throat

of at least one of them, in what officials are treating as the latest jihadist attack to rock the country.

The assailant, believed by law enforce-ment to be a 21-year-old Tunisian national, was injured during his arrest, Nice’s Mayor Christian Estrosi told journalists at the scene.

A man and a woman died at the Basilica of Notre-Dame, in the heart of the Medi-terranean resort city, while a third person succumbed to injuries after seeking refuge in a nearby bar, a police source said.

No mass was underway at the time of the attack, but the church opens around 8:00 am and “people come in to pray at all hours,” Father Philippe Asso, who serves at the basilica, said.

Daniel Conilh, a 32-year-old waiter at the Grand Cafe de Lyon, a block from the church, said it was shortly before 9:00 am when “shots were fired and everybody took off running.”

“A woman came in straight from the church and said, ‘Run, run, someone has been stabbing people’,” he said, and dozens of police and rescue vehicles quickly sealed off the neighbourhood.

French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an inquiry into what Estrosi called an “Islamo-fascist attack”.

France has been on terror alert since the January 2015 massacre at the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which marked the beginning of a wave of jihadist attacks that have killed more than 250 people.

Tensions have run especially high since the trial of suspected accomplices in that attack opened in September, an event the paper marked by republishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that infuriated millions of Muslims worldwide.

Just days later, an 18-year-old man from

Pakistan seriously injured two people with a meat cleaver outside Charlie Hebdo’s former offices in Paris.

Emmanuel Macron visited Nice and said he would deploy thousands more soldiers to protect important French sites, such as places of worship and schools.

In the city, painful memories remain fresh of the jihadist attack during the Bas-tille Day fireworks on July 14, 2016, when a man rammed his truck into a crowded promenade, killing 86 people.

Just a few days later, two teenagers mur-dered an 85-year-old priest as he conducted mass at his church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in northern France, an attack later

claimed by the Islamic State group.Yesterday’s attack drew condemnation

from France’s allies, with Germany’s Angela Merkel voicing solidarity with France and EU Parliament President David Sassoli say-ing: “This pain is felt by all of us in Europe.

“We have a duty to stand together against violence and those that seek to incite and spread hatred,” he said on Twitter.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte condemned a “vile attack” but vowed it “will not shake the common front defend-ing the values of freedom and peace.”

Abdallah Zekri, director general of the French Council of Muslim Worship, said: “I can only denounce as strongly as possible this act of cowardice against the innocent.”

At least 25 dead, scores missing after typhoon lashes Vietnam

AFP | Hanoi

Vietnam deployed hun-dreds of soldiers and

heavy machinery yesterday to search for survivors after landslides triggered by tor-rential rains from Typhoon Molave, one of the strongest typhoons in the region in decades.

The landslides, which hit remote areas in the central province of Quang Nam late on Wednesday, killed 13 with 40 missing as rescue efforts were hampered by bad weather at the tail end of the storm, the govern-ment said. State media said 12 fishermen died at sea.

“We can forecast the storm path or the amount of rain, but can’t predict when landslides happen,” Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung said in a statement.

“The road is covered un-der deep mud and heavy rains are still lashing the area, but rescue work has to be carried out quickly,” Dung said.

59 bodies found in Mexico hidden graves

AFP | Mexico City

The bodies of at least 59 people were found in

hidden graves in the central Mexican state of Guanajua-to, authorities said.

Guanajuato is one of Mexico’s most violent states, with its wealth and extensive energy infrastruc-ture drawing the attention of criminal gangs.

“The vast majority of the bodies, in which there is still some tissue or other sign, would appear to be young people, very young, possibly even teenagers,” said Karla Quintana, the head of Mexico’s National Search Commission (CNB).

Pending expert confir-mation, between 10 and 15 women are among the vic-tims, Quintana added.

The graves were found in the Barrio de San Juan neighborhood in the city of Salvatierra, in the southern part of the state, according to Quintana.

Authorities were notified of the graves’ possible lo-cation two weeks ago, and state and federal securi-ty institutions have been working together for the past eight days.

Americans plan protests if Trump interferes with electionReuters | Washington

Do z e n s o f a c t i v i s t groups who claim

to represent millions of Americans from both po-litical parties plan to hit the streets next week, if President Donald Trump appears to be interfering with vote counting or ma-

nipulating poll results after Election Day.

The “Protect the Re-sults” coalition of over 130 groups from Planned Parenthood to Republicans for the Rule of Law, has about 400 events planned to date. Participants are prepping to demonstrate “as early as November

4,” the day after Elec-tion Day, and await a SMS message.

“We can’t assume that Donald Trump will respect the peaceful transfer of power” said Sean Eldridge, the founder and president of Stand Up America, which started organizing the coalition in June.

UK judge delays Meghan privacy case trialMeghan Markle wins bid to delay court battle with UK newspaper to 2021

• A trial was due to have started in London in January

AFP | London

A London judge yesterday agreed to delay the trial phase of Meghan Markle’s high-profile lawsuit

against a British newspaper group for privacy and copyright breaches.

Judge Mark Warby said he had ap-proved an application by the Duchess of Sussex’s lawyers for the trial to be ad-

journed from January until “much later next year”.

The “primary basis” for the delay was on “a confidential ground,” he added after a private hearing at the High Court in London.

“The right decision in all the circum-stances is to grant the application to ad-journ,” he said.

“That means that the trial date of Jan-uary 11, 2021, will be vacated and the trial will be refixed for a new date in the autumn.”

Meghan, who with her husband Prince Harry is waging an increasingly public war with some media outlets, is suing the publishers of the Mail on Sunday, Daily Mail and MailOnline.

‘Anonymous’ no longer: former Trump administration official reveals identityAFP | Washington

A former official in the US Depart-ment of Homeland Security revealed

that he was “Anonymous,” the mysteri-ous author of a newspaper column and book highly critical of President Donald Trump.

Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff to former Homeland Security Secre-tary Kirstjen Nielsen, revealed his iden-tity on Twitter and in a statement on Medium.com.

The identity of “Anonymous” had been a favorite guessing game in Washington since an opinion column appeared in The New York Times two years ago from a “senior official” who claimed he was a member of the “resistance” within the Trump administration.

In the column, Anonymous said that “many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our dem-ocratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses.”

The president reacted to Taylor’s self-outing on Wednesday with insults for a man he branded a “low-level staffer.”

“A sleazebag who never worked in the White House,” Trump said on the cam-paign trail in Arizona. “In my opinion, he should be prosecuted.”

“Anonymous” followed up the Times column with a book called “A Warning” in November 2019 that chronicled dys-function in the Trump administration.

Taylor Swift says ‘Red’ is her ‘only true breakup album’

Fox | Los Angeles

Taylor Swift ’s l o v e l i f e i s w e l l - d o c u -

mented in her mu-sic, but that doesn’t mean that every album is about a breakup.

S i n c e h e r 2006 debut al-bum, Swift has been known for her tear-jerkers and slam tracks just as much as she’s known for

her love ballads.Now, after a swath of albums and

awards, the 30-year-old singer has earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums of all time, with “Red” coming in at number 99. Her album “1989” also sits at number 393 on the list.

The outlet is set to launch the pod-cast “Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums,” which will feature artists and staffers discussing the album named on the iconic list.

Swift will be a featured guest, who will discuss her entry.

“I look back on this as, like, ‘This is my only true breakup album,’” the star said in a trailer for the upcom-

ing series. “Every other album has flickers of different things. This was an album that I wrote specifically about a pure, absolute, to-the-core heartbreak.”

Fans have speculated that the al-bum centers on Swift’s breakup from actor Jake Gyllenhaal, because the song “All Too Well” is believed to be about their relationship.

Gyllenhaal, 39, recently posted a throwback photo of himself wearing glasses on Instagram. That prompt-ed fans to point out a connection between the tune’s lyric and Gyl-lenhaal.

“All Too Well” features the line: “You used to be a little kid with

glasses in a twin-size bed,” and fans pointed out that the actor fit the description in the comments of his post.

“All i hear is all too well when i look at this,” wrote one follower.

“TS was right,” said another, add-ing the lyrics.

The song also references a sister, which fans believe to be another indicator that Gyllenhaal is the sub-ject, as he has a sister in fellow actor Maggie Gyllenhaal.

“Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Al-bums” will be available exclusively on Amazon Music and will begin streaming weekly episodes on Nov. 10.

Now, after a swath of albums and awards, Taylor Swift has earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums of all time, with “Red” coming in at number 99

Adele says she’s ‘single’ amid rumours the singer is dating rapper SkeptaFox | Los Angeles

Adele appears to be shutting down spec-

ulation she has a new beau.The 32-year-old pop mu-

sic superstar seemingly put the kibosh on rumors she

had a new man in her life after reports on

Wednesday claimed “things have been heating up” be-tween Adele and

British rapper Skepta, 38.

A source close to the “Someone Like You” song-stress told People magazine that the rumored pair “run in the same circles in Lon-don and she’s having fun.”

Those circles include the likes of Drake, who often

taps Skepta – real name Joseph Junior Adenuge – for collab-orations due to the rapper’s unique Tottenham-sourced grime style.

However, it turns out Adele actually isn’t speaking a new love language as she appeared to squash the rumors in a social media post while thanking her fans for tuning into her “Sat-urday Night Live” appearance.

“Happy Halloween! I’m go-ing back to my cave now to be the (single) cat lady that I am!” Adele strategically wrote. “Peace out till next year.”

Anne Hathaway says she is not too sure about having third childIANS | Los Angeles

Actress Anne Hathaway is happy with two healthy

kids, and says she is not sure about expanding her family right now, especially when the world is a scary place.

Hathaway, who had wel-comed her son Jack almost 11 months ago, opened up about her family during “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, reports peo-ple.com.

Her older son is Jonathan, and Kimmel pointed out the alliteration.

“Are you a n -

gling for me to go for a third and name him Jimmy?”

Hathaway joked after the host told her he and his siblings also all have ‘J’ names.

On a serious note, she added: “I don’t know,” on the subject of having another child.

“The world is really scary. Some minutes, I’m like, ‘Yes, absolute-ly’, and some minutes the world scares me too much and I think I’ve got two healthy ones and that feels re-ally great. So I don’t really know yet,” she added.

Emma Roberts has a secret Tumblr accountIANS | Los Angeles

Hollywood actress Emma Roberts says she has a se-

cret account on social network-ing website Tumblr with just six followers.

“I’m spending too much time on Instagram, that’s for sure, and just ordering too much

food on Caviar these days. But I’m also a secret Tumblr lover. I love Tumblr, which is something people don’t know about me -- I

have six followers on a Tumblr ac-count no one knows is me. It’s my happy space,” Roberts told glamour.com.

On Instagram, she has over 14 mil-lion followers. Unlike Instagram, which allows users to post photo-graphs, Tumblr is a microblogging platform where users can post imag-es, video or text in a small version of a blog post.

Emma is presently expecting her first child with actor Garrett Hed-lund.

“In the midst of such a crazy year that has had so much hardship and heartbreak, (it’s nice) to have some-thing to look forward to. The baby’s coming, and I’m so excited to put a movie out that I think will put smiles on people’s faces or hopefully let them escape for two hours,” she said.

Talking about what she learnt about herself through pregnancy, the actress said: “It’s been really an interesting time in the world to be pregnant right now. It’s definitely caused a lot of introspection, but I

think it’s been amazing to really sit with myself and really turn in-ward in a way I never have before and be still.”

“That’s been really nice, and I feel really grateful to have gotten to do that. To not just be running from one appointment to the next or one job to the next. I’ve really had to be present with myself, and that’s been -- some days you wanna crawl out of your skin, but other days you feel really good and really grateful,” she added.

Mancini disappointed Balotelli has no clubAFP | Milan

Italy coach Roberto Manci-ni expressed his regret that

striker Mario Balotelli hadn’t found himself a club during the transfer window, arguing the striker would have been “very useful” for the national team.

“I am very sorry to see him in these conditions. At 30, he would still be at full technical maturity and would have been very useful to the Italy team,” said Mancini, his former coach at Inter Milan and Manchester City.

“I wish him the best and I

hope good things can still come his way,” the Italy coach said in an online interview with the le Corriere dello Sport and Tut-tosport newspapers.

Balotelli has scored 14 goals in his 36 international appear-ances, his last run-out for the Azzurri coming in September 2018.

Rashford stars again for Man Utd as Barca beat JuveAFP | London

Marcus Rashford was again the star for Manches-

ter United in the Champions League with a hat-trick in a 5-0 thumping of RB Leipzig as Bar-celona put their off-field trou-bles to one side to win 2-0 away to a Juventus side deprived of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rashford’s late goal earned United a 2-1 victory away to Paris Saint-Germain last week and at Old Trafford the England striker came on as a second-half substitute and scored three times from the 74th minute on in what was a fine win against last season’s semi-finalists.

Paul Pogba released Mason Greenwood to open the scor-ing in the first half, before the youngster made way for Rash-ford after the break and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side ran away with the game to make it two wins from two in Group H.

Anthony Martial also netted from the penalty spot as United ruthlessly exposed the side who currently top the German Bun-desliga and went clear at the top of the section.

“ We l o o ke d d a n g e ro u s throughout and that we could score every time we went for-ward,” said Rashford. “It was a real team performance.”

Meanwhile PSG got their cam-paign up and running by beating Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0 in Tur-

key, although they lost Neymar to an adductor injury in the first half.

Both PSG’s goals were scored in the second half by Moise Kean, the on-loan Everton strik-er heading in Kylian Mbappe’s corner in the 64th minute and then turning to fire in the sec-ond late on.

Barca bounce back In Italy Barcelona bounced

back from their weekend de-feat in the Clasico against Real Madrid and shut out the board-room crisis which led to pres-ident Josep Maria Bartomeu resigning on Tuesday.

Ronald Koeman’s side had luck on their side as they took

the lead through a deflected Ousmane Dembele strike and then saw Alvaro Morata have three goals disallowed for off-side for the hosts.

The absence of Ronaldo be-cause of a positive coronavirus test meant no chance to see him renew his on-field rivalry with Lionel Messi, but the Argentine got his name on the scoresheet late on, netting a stoppage-time penalty to seal Barca’s second victory in as many Group G out-ings.

Ziyech impresses, Haaland on target

Viktor Tsygankov’s penalty and a Carlos de Pena effort had the Ukrainians in control but

they then had captain Sergiy Sydorchuk sent off and the hosts -- with a sizeable crowd behind them -- took full advantage.

Tokmac Nguen pulled one back and Ivorian Franck Boli scrambled in a stoppage-time leveller for the Hungarians.

In Group E Chelsea were comprehensive 4-0 winners away to Krasnodar in Russia, with Jorginho missing a penalty before Callum Hudson-Odoi opened the scoring.

Timo Werner smashed in a spot-kick on 76 minutes to dou-ble Chelsea’s lead, with Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic adding late goals.

For Ziyech it was a first Chel-sea goal on his first start since signing from Ajax for £37 mil-lion ($48 million).

Abbas Khan will fulfill a ‘major life goal’ in his debut for BRAVE CF

• Abbas Khan takes on Yann Liasse in a Lightweight bout at BRAVE CF 44

TDT | Manama

Born in Pakistan and living in Bahrain for five years

now, mixed martial artist Abbas Khan is naturally attached to BRAVE Combat Federation, the biggest Bahraini sports brand ever. One of his biggest dreams has been to fight professionally for the organization, a wish he will fulfill next week at BRAVE CF 44.

Khan faces Yann Liasse in a Lightweight bout that will showcase two of the best fight-ers from the amateur scene. It will be Abbas’ first professional fight and right on the organiza-tion of his dreams.

Training and representing KHK MMA, the gym created by His Highness Shaikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the box-er is hoping to make a splash in his weight-class and is thankful for the support of key people in his life.

‘’An opportunity to fight as a professional MMA fighter for BRAVE CF has been my major goal in life. I fought as an am-

ateur at BRAVE CF 17, I have grown in maturity in this sports being trained and guided by highly-renowned international coaches Eldar Khan Eldarov (BRAVE CF Super Lightweight world champion), Renat Abu

Ahmad, Alaa Al-Roghani , KHK manager Yousif Al Khooheji, president of BRAVE CF and CEO of KHK Mohammed Shahid, and others. I am truly excited to be part of the BRAVE CF roster, as I have always believed that com-petition and individualism are the building blocks of human nature’’, says Khan, who’s also aware of the impact BRAVE CF has had in his native Pakistan.

‘’BRAVE CF has made a tre-mendous impact in the Pakistan MMA scene. The never before seen international MMA event became a phenomenon in Paki-stan. The stylistic draw towards MMA is increasing every day. The youth of Pakistan are be-coming more educated on the sport and have turned into MMA training, thanks to BRAVE CF’’.

Nkosi Ndebele meets Zia Mashwani in a battle of prospects at BRAVE CF 45TDT | Manama

A clash of two huge pros-pects is the latest addition

to BRAVE CF 45’s fight card. South Africa’s Nkosi Ndebele is set to take on Pakistan’s Zia Mashwani in a Bantamweight bout.

A member of the prestigious Team Fight Fortress in Islama-bad, Pakistan, Mashwani holds a professional record of three wins and two losses and is look-ing to bounce back from a ra-zor-thin decision loss in his last BRAVE CF appearance.

Nkosi Ndebele is arguably the biggest name in South African amateur MMA, with an amateur record of 12 wins and only three losses. Approached by many

promotions, Ndebele waited patiently until a big interna-tional opportunity presented itself, and it came when BRAVE Combat Federation offered him a long-term, development deal.

In his last appearance inside the BRAVE CF cage, “The King” Ndebele put on a stellar per-formance and dominated Ian Cleary to extend his profes-sional record to two wins and one loss.

BRAVE CF 45 takes place on

November 12, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The fight night will close the second leg of BRAVE CF’s “Kombat Kingdom”, a se-ries of events organized by the truly global MMA promotion in its home country.

The main event of BRAVE CF 45 will pitch against each other two of the best South American athletes nowadays: Brazil’s Ga-briel “Fly” Miranda and Colom-bia’s Dumar “Corazón de Leon” Roa, in a Featherweight bout.

Focused on winning: Amin Ayoub reveals photo of ‘Predator’ in his room

BRAVE CF title challenger Amin Ayoub will take on Cleiton ‘’Predator’’ Silva in the main event of BRAVE CF 44

• Ayoub kept the photo to remind himself of the sacrifices he’s made to get to where he’s at

TDT | Manama

Amin Ayoub is a man on a mission. As the clock ticks down for his title

fight against reigning BRAVE CF Lightweight world champion Cleiton ‘’Predator’’ Silva, the preparation gets harder, but his eyes remain on the prize - the world title belt from the fast-est-growing MMA organization in the world.

The French-Tunisian athlete will take on Cleiton in the main event of BRAVE CF 44, which takes place on November 5th, in Bahrain. To remind himself of

the sacrifices he’s made to get to where he’s at, Ayoub keeps a photo of his future opponent in his room and looks at it every morning before training.

‘’I think about my opponent every day. I keep a photo of Clei-ton in my room to never for-get why I’m working so hard. When I wake up, I see his face.

When I go to sleep, I see his face again. He’s in my head every day, every time, when I’m training I think about him, and that’s why I will win this fight. I’m

very focused on this fight, on this opponent and that belt is for me’’, says Amin, who predicts a third-round submission over the world champion.

‘’Cleiton is a long, tall fight-er, he will come forward with everything in the beginning, but he won’t be able to sustain the same form. He will be tired very soon and I’ll capitalize on that. I think I’ll beat him in the third round, with a submission’’.

‘’Fierceness’’ has credentialed himself as a top contender with a series of six straight wins. In total, he has 14 professional vic-tories against only four defeats. He has become a specialist in submitting his opponents, win-ning eight of 14 via tap-out. He hopes to make nine out of 15 against Cleiton, who is primarily known as a striker, but also pos-sesses a good ground game and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

BRAVE CF 44 will have several top fights on its line-up. Aside from the main event for the Lightweight world champion-ship, the show will also feature a battle of grappling giants in the co-main event, as former Welterweight world champion Abdoul Abdouraguimov takes on Louis Glismann. In total, 10 nations will be represented on November 5th.
