Difficult to engage with neighbour that practices cross-border terrorism: Jaishankar

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Without naming Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said that it is difficult to engage with a neighbour which practices cross-border terrorism against India.
At the same time though, Jaishankar, who is currently in Panama as part of his four-nation tour of North and South America, expressed hope that one day a stage will arrive when Pakistan will deliver on its commitment to not sponsoring cross-border terrorism.
During a joint press briefing with his counterpart from Panama, the Minister said: “It is for us very difficult to engage with a neighbour who practices cross-border terrorism against us. We’ve always said that they have to deliver on the commitment to not sponsor and carry out cross-border terrorism.

“We continue to hope that one day we would reach that stage.”
As part of the visit, Jaishankar first visited Guyana, which was followed by Panama.
He is also scheduled to make stops in Colombia (April 25-27) and the Dominican Republic (April 27-29).

PostNL is scrapping 200 to 300 jobs after ‘extremely difficult’ 2022

[ad_1]
PostNL is scrapping 200 to 300 full-time jobs in 2023. That makes the company known on Monday. For example, a total of around 20 million euros must be saved, particularly in the parcel department.
PostNL director Herna Verhagen points to “extremely difficult” and turbulent circumstances as the culprit, caused by the “global macroeconomic and geopolitical” unrest. As a result, the labor and fuel costs that PostNL had to deal with increased sharply in 2022, according to the top woman.
“The challenging conditions are expected to continue in 2023,” says Verhagen. The management is also preparing for continued problems in the years that follow. A further €25 million will be saved in 2024 and from 2025 onwards, cuts of up to €30 million will be made each year. The fact that PostNL is in dire straits follows two excellent years for the company at the start of the corona pandemic. Then the number of packets sent skyrocketed.

‘Find it difficult to write’: Salman Rushdie speaks out after attack Salman Rushdie

[ad_1]
London: Months after a near-lethal attack that left him debilitated and without vision in one eye, Sir Salman Rushdie says that he is “lucky” and has been told that he is “doing very well”. But he still finds it difficult to type or write.
I was “lucky … my main overwhelming feeling is gratitude. I’ve been better. But, considering what happened, I’m not so bad,” he said in an interview with journalist-author David Remnick in ‘The New Yorker’, the BBC reported.
The award-winning novelist was attacked on stage at an event in New York state last August and spent many weeks in hospital. He subsequently lost vision in one eye.
“The big injuries are healed, essentially. I have feeling in my thumb and index finger and in the bottom half of the palm. I’m doing a lot of hand therapy, and I’m told that I’m doing very well,” he said.
Rushdie said it was difficult to type and to write due to a lack of feeling in some of his fingertips. He also said that he has barely been out since the attack, other than to go for hospital appointments.
“I’m able to get up and walk around. When I say I’m fine, I mean, there are bits of my body that need constant check-ups. It was a colossal attack,” Rushdie said.
He said he also has mental scars from the attack and that he is having to rethink his approach to security. Rushdie has lived without security for more than two decades.
“There is such a thing as PTSD, you know,” he said. “I’ve found it very, very difficult to write. I sit down to write, and nothing happens. I write, but it’s a combination of blankness and junk, stuff that I write and that I delete the next day. I’m not out of that forest yet, really.”
