Un 'normale' processo a #Berlusconi: pm #Colombo, una parte, parla con il giudice #Crivelli di uso di bastone e carota con B. : la difesa viene a saperlo solo perché i microfoni erano rimasti aperti.
B. ricusa il giudice, che se ne fotte.
1 anno e il CSM lo promuoverà

#China increased it's presence in Indian Ocean rampantly till 2014 through its Debt Trap Diplomacy to suit it's #StringsOfPearls strategy to contain Bharat's hold in Indian Ocean.

Provo a spiegare,molti #milanisti scrivono “quello era un grande #Milan” parlando del passato,riferendosi ad oggi:
Vi spiego però la genesi e come arrivammo poi a dire “grande Milan”.
Perché quel Milan,non nasce "grande".

Montage of satellite images taken by DigitalGlobe shows Kalutara, south-western coast of #SriLanka, 40km south of #Colombo. Lower image taken at 10:20 IST on 26 Dec 2004, as #Tsunami2004 #IndianOceanTsunami hit without any local warning, killing ~35,000 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indi…
One of the most memorable cartoons on #Tsunami2004, by Jim Morin, cartoonist of @MiamiHerald, summed up that day's monumental failure of publicly communicating an early warning about on-coming killer waves. I reflected on it for @SciDevNet one year later: scidev.net/global/opinion…
International warnings about #Tsunami2004 were received by #lka govt agencies but *not relayed locally* to enable coastal evacuation to save lives. Science & Tech Min Dr Tissa Vitharana later infamously defended govt failure saying "it was a holiday". scidev.net/global/opinion…
For every #SriLankan who saw protestors at #GGG being assaulted by the #military & said "if they are doing this in #Colombo, can you imagine what happened to #Tamils in the #North & #East?" ENOUGH! There is no need to imagine, we know! 1/8
There are enough videos, films, still photographs, eye witness testimony, survivor testimony #UN reports, & other expert reports to clearly lay out what happened in #Mullivaikkal & before, was #CrimesAgainstHumanity, #WarCrimes & #Genocide. You chose not to believe! 2/8
There are 100's of people who died getting that information of #WarCrimes out of the #WarZone. Too many #journalists & #activists were killed, attacked, jailed, #tortured & exiled trying to disseminate that information, because you chose not to believe. 3/8

At present, the #SriLankan economy is extremely precarious. Although the former government’s budget projected revenue of SLR 2.3 trillion, SLR 1.6 trillion is the realistic projection of this year’s revenue: PM of Sri Lanka #RanilWickremesinghe, in #Colombo
#Economy #SriLanka
#Economy #SriLanka
The estimated govt expenditure for this year is SLR 3.3 trillion. However, due to increase in interest rates & addl expenditure of ex-govt, total govt expenditure is SLR 4 trillion. Budget deficit for the yr is SLR 2.4 trillion. This amount equals 13% of the #GDP: PM of Sri Lanka

#Kolkata's trams are famous. The electric #trams were first introduced in 1902 and at their peak covered 40 lines carried commuters over a 70 km network. Today only 28 km of the network remains. Once upon a time other cities in India also had electric/mechanical trams.

#Karachi Tramway first opened for traffic in 1885 as a steam tramway. By 1909 the East India Tramwag Co, had an all petrol/diesel fleet of trams. In 1949 the whole tramway system was sold to the Mohamedali Tramways Company (MTC). All 4 lines closed in 1975.
#Bombay Tramway Company Limited was established in 1873. Electrified service began in 1907 and double-deck tram service in 1920. At its peak in 1935, 433 trams ran on 47 km of track. The service closed in 1964.

It is a cartel of HNWIs and senior Brokers and few fund managers who get together, use their connections and contacts and invest in selected counters at low levels. @CSE_Media @SEC_SriLanka @BullsAndBearsSL @nimalhperera @BuhardeenImtiaz

These counters are either illiquid or has already performed well and solid invest opportunities for anyone. Then the fabricated news is spread through brokers, SM and other means so the retail interest is created.

Then, with the retailers following the news get in those share. Price of those shares go up rapidly. To boost confidence few crossings would be done at higher levels by the people who invested at initial levels to their "proxy" accounts.@CSE_Media @SEC_SriLanka @BullsAndBearsSL

"Then around 1030am I hear on the grapevine that vaccinations are taking place at the town hall... okay... I've had the first round and I'm theoretically due for the second round within the next four weeks so I braved arrest and went there with my vaccination card in hand..
Joined the queue and waited. Whilst waiting, I realised that this queue was not going anywhere. While we were standing there, a whole lot of people were being taken in completely ignoring the queue. A gentleman behind me in the queue went up to the security....

Thousands of people in Sri Lanka have drunk an alleged miracle drug that is said to protect against corona. But meanwhile a minister who had taken the drink like other high-ranking politicians had to go to hospital.
Thousands of people in Sri Lanka have drunk an alleged miracle drug that is said to protect against corona. But meanwhile a minister who had taken the drink like other high-ranking politicians had to go to hospital.
Piyal Nishantha de Silva, who is responsible for women, child development and education on the island nation, told reporters and on Facebook that he had Corona.
The drink was brewed by an influential so-called holy man who claimed that he had received the recipe from the Hindu goddess of destruction, Kali.
#SriLanka #Colombo #Coronavirus #Curfew
A number of passenger trains have been terminated and the curfew extended by the Sri Lankan authorities as cases linked to a new cluster at a garment factory continue to surge.
A number of passenger trains have been terminated and the curfew extended by the Sri Lankan authorities as cases linked to a new cluster at a garment factory continue to surge.
After the number of passengers declined because of the curfew imposed in many parts of the country, the Railway Department canceled at least 16 trains, mostly running through busy office hours.
In the heavily populated Western province, which includes the capital of Colombo, more than a dozen villages are isolated. On Saturday, after a flood of 609 cases linked to the country's main fish market, the authorities closed at least two fishing harbors and several stalls.

The authorities announced on Friday that anyone who does not adhere to distance rules in public in the fight against the corona virus could also be punished with up to six months in prison and the equivalent of a fine of 46 euros.
"The laws are a protection for health workers and for the police in the implementation of guidelines to contain the virus," said Deputy Police Chief Ajith Rohana. It is now also mandatory to provide hand disinfectants in shops and offices and to keep a customer register.
