Japan sets up a fund of 69,300 million euros

Japanese Finance Minister, Yoshihiko Noda, announced the creation of an annual fund of $ 100,000 million (about 69,300 million euros) to counter the yen's strength through private initiative.

In a press conference, the Finance Minister invited Japanese companies to exchange yen for foreign currency and encouraged to make mergers and acquisitions abroad, with the help of this fund to leverage the strength of the yen.

Noda warned that the Government will monitor and control speculative operations with currency, while not ruled out the involvement of the executive, that "will to action" if necessary to weaken the yen on Friday after Wall Street reached in record high against the dollar.

At the close of the U.S. market, the dollar reached 75.95 yen a share, its highest level since World War II, while on Wednesday in Tokyo trading at the opening of the bag in the high band of 76 yen.

In the last year, Japan has intervened three times in the foreign exchange market to depreciate the yen, whose ascent hurts Japanese exporters by reducing their competitiveness and reduce their profits abroad when repatriated.

Solution for Naxalism

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, equipped with cameras, data and video links are the latest weapons to be deployed against Naxals in India. Developed by Hindustan Aeronautics, each machine will cost at least Rs. 18 lakh. Will they work to contain or subdue what the Prime Minister has called the "greatest threat to India's internal security?" I doubt.

The Naxal - or Maoist - agitations in the country today are different from, say, the AASU-sponsored violence in Assam or the Khalistan-inspired violence in Punjab in the 1980s, or even the militancy in Jammu & Kashmir. The violence in Assam, Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir were orchestrated, at least initially, by close-knit organisations with a clear-cut agenda of breaking away from mainstream India on ethnic or religious grounds. Today's Naxal movements have no such goals.

Reckoned conservatively, Naxal activity in India today spreads across 90 districts in 10 states: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. A look at this list will convince you that these movements aren't driven by the urge to break away from the country based on one geographical, ethnic or linguistic drive: at least six languages are spoken by the natives of these 10 states.

But cutting across this diversity, there are some startling similarities about the condition of people living there. To start with, they are poor. Studies show that 85 of the country's 100 poorest districts are in seven of those 10 states. In the Naxal-affected districts, 32 per cent of the population is below the officially measured poverty line, compared to 24 per cent elsewhere.

Second, in these districts, state governments have a terrible record of delivering public goods and services. Only 68 per cent of homes in Naxal-affected districts get safe drinking water, in other places, the number is 74 per cent

Many of these problems have to do with one simple fact: the people living in these areas are tribals who, on paper, receive special rights and privileges but are actually subject to brutal discrimination in India's caste-conscious society. Even in West Bengal's so-called socialist utopia, in dry areas where a single source of water, like a well or a pond, has to be shared by many households, the tribal is the last person in queue to get her bucketful.

Babus in state and district administrations are mostly drawn from the local elite, and their sympathies lie entirely with 'their' people. So, they pour whatever resources they have in better-off, urban, upper-caste areas. The tribal areas remain backward. What else explains the fact that only 43 per cent of women in tribal, Naxal-affected areas get skilled medical attention during pregnancy, when 51 per cent of women elsewhere get the same care?

If you place a map of India listing its mineral resources over another map marking areas of Naxal influence, the two would overlap almost perfectly. The poorest areas of the country are rich in coal, iron ore and bauxite seams but the 'curse of minerals' has gripped the area.

Coal mining was nationalised in the 1970s and, almost immediately, most activities surrounding the actual mining were hived off to efficient private operators: the mining mafia. Around Dhanbad and Asansol in the east, the coal mafia controlled everything: trucking, transportation, the movement of railway wagons and labour contracts. With money came political power. We've seen something similar in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, where the Bellary brothers, who control large mining leases, have acquired enough clout to bring the BJP government of Karnataka to its knees.

None of that is good news for the people who live there. The power of local mining overlords makes it easy for them to muscle into tribal land, fell forests and sell off timber as well as the minerals under the ground. This robs locals of land and forest resources. Over time, anger builds up.

It's easy to jump to the conclusion that the Naxal areas are hotbeds of crime and violence. Research by economist Vani K. Borooah, of the University of Ulster, throws cold water on that assumption. After comparing rates of violent crimes, crimes against women and against public order across all Indian districts with Naxal-affected ones, he finds that Naxal-affected areas are in many ways less crime-prone than other parts.

He also finds, unsurprisingly, that urban areas are more crime-prone than rural ones - where Naxals largely operate - that poverty has little role in influencing the number of violent crimes, but riots and arson were more likely in poorer areas. Conflicts over drinking water led to higher crime rates, as did discrimination against scheduled tribes.

Though Borooah finds it hard to explain why criminal activity is lower in Naxal areas than in others, he has a provocative suggestion: "Judging from the experience of Northern Ireland, it is plausible that Naxalites - like the Loyalist and Republican paramilitary forces in Northern Ireland - also enforce law and order in their areas of influence."

The Naxal issue is complex, widespread and rooted in local factors. The government can't end Naxalism by sending the military into villages and jungles. And it won't help to club Naxals as terrorists and book suspects under harsh laws.

Last year, a report on Naxalism, published by the Planning Commission, made this accurate observation: "Mobilising the support of the people is also absolutely essential to weaken the support base of the Naxals. The political parties are not playing their role in this regard. The representatives of major political parties have virtually abdicated their responsibility."

Perhaps the only exception to this was Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress, which backed a police boycott movement called PCAPA in the western, tribal belt of West Bengal. But as soon as the state cracked down on the PCAPA, Trinamool support for it withered.

To get Naxals into the political mainstream, the political mainstream has to make the first move. And to do that, the government has to take the first step to reconciliation. Otherwise, which politician would like to be seen hobnobbing with people branded as Naxals and terrorists?

Abducted British girl found in JK

A four-year-old British girl, who was allegedly kidnapped while on a holiday in Portugal in 2007, has reportedly been tracked down to Leh city in  Jammu and Kashmir state.

The parents of Madeleine McCann are, however, awaiting the results of a DNA test after a girl suspected to be the missing child was spotted in Leh, the Daily Mail reported.

Kate and Gerry McCann’s team of private investigators said they were working with Leh police who were alerted after a British woman spotted a girl she thought to be Madeleine. The abducted girl would now be eight years old.Madeleine was about to celebrate her fourth birthday when she went missing on a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

The woman who found the girl raised concerns with other tourists who agreed with her.An American man even reportedly tried to take the girl from the couple with whom she was.However, the French woman and her Belgian husband insisted they were the parents of the girl.Leh police have now taken swabs so that DNA tests can be carried out on the girl.“It all depends upon the evidence like DNA for which help from Madeleine’s parents and the British police was required,” a Leh police spokesman said.

Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for Madeleine’s parents, said: “Our private investigators are aware of reports from India about a possible sighting of Madeleine. We are liaising with the Indian authorities over the incident and await the results of the DNA test.” Kate and Gerry McCann recently launched a book about how she disappeared. Proceeds from the book, titled “Madeleine” go towards the funding of their search for their daughter.

The official Portuguese inquiry into the girl’s disappearance was formally shelved in July 2008.Kate McCann has said the kidnapper who took Madeleine may also have drugged her other two children. She said her twins, Sean and Amelie, were still breathing, but they did not wake as the search for the missing three-year-old Madeleine began. British Prime Minister David Cameron has also asked Scotland Yard to carry out a review of the investigation.
