AT&T Gains FCC Approval to Replace Copper Lines With Wireless TechBOSTON - Two men, including a dual Iranian American citizen who lives in Natick, Massachusetts, have been arrested on charges that they exported sensitive technology to Iran that was used in a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American troops early this year and injured dozens of other service members, the Justice Department said Monday. The pair were arrested after FBI specialists who analyzed the drone traced the navigation system to an Iranian company operated by one of the defendants, who relied on technology funneled from the U.S. by his alleged co-conspirator, officials said. "We often cite hypothetical risk when we talk about the dangers of American technology getting into dangerous hands," said U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy, the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts. "Unfortunately, in this situation, we are not speculating." The defendants were identified as Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi, who prosecutors say works at a Massachusetts-based semiconductor company, and Mohammad Abedininajafabadi, who was arrested Monday in Italy as the Justice Department seeks his extradition to Massachusetts. FBI search in Natick Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Boston, said Sadeghi is a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Natick, "who we believe abandoned this country that took him in to help strengthen the arsenal of weapons for one of the world's most infamous state sponsors of terrorism." Sadeghi was arrested without incident on Monday. A home on Woodland Street in Natick was searched by the FBI on Monday afternoon in connection with the investigation. Prosecutors allege that Abedininajafabadi, who also uses the surname Adedini and operates an Iranian company that manufactures navigation systems for drones, has connections to Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. They allege that he conspired with Sadeghi to circumvent American export control laws, including through a front company in Switzerland, and procure sensitive technology into Iran. Both men are charged with export control violations, and Abedini separately faces charges of conspiring to provide material support to Iran. A lawyer for Sadeghi did not immediately return an email seeking comment. Levy said the semiconductor company Sadeghi worked for in Massachusetts was notified of the charges and is cooperating with the FBI. "These charges today underscore that the Department of Justice will not cease in its effort to seek justice for servicemembers who were killed and harmed overseas," Levy said. Drone attack in Jordan U.S. officials blamed the January attack on the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias that includes Kataib Hezbollah. Three Georgia soldiers - Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Sgt. Breonna Moffett of Savannah and Sgt. Kennedy Sanders of Waycross - were killed in the Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan called Tower 22. In the attack, the one-way attack drone may have been mistaken for a U.S. drone that was expected to return back to the logistics base about the same time and was not shot down. Instead, it crashed into living quarters, killing the three soldiers and injuring more than 40. Tower 22 held about 350 U.S. military personnel at the time. It is strategically located between Jordan and Syria, only 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Iraqi border, and in the months just after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Israel's blistering response in Gaza, Iranian-backed militias intensified their attacks on U.S. military locations in the region. Following the attack, the U.S. launched a huge counterstrike against 85 sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Iranian-backed militia and bolstered Tower 22's defenses.Rams WR Demarcus Robinson not suspended, will play Sunday after arrest on DUI suspicion
Drone sightings leadBiden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful government panel has failed to reach consensus on the possible national security risks of a nearly $15 billion proposed deal for Nippon Steel of Japan to purchase U.S. Steel. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States on Monday sent its long-awaited report to President Joe Biden, a longtime opponent of the deal. Some federal agencies represented on the panel were skeptical that allowing a Japanese company to buy an American-owned steelmaker would create national security risks. That's according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. Both Biden and President-elect Donald Trump opposed the merger and vowed to block it. Nippon Steel says it is confident the deal will go ahead. Nissan and Honda to attempt a merger that would create the world's No. 3 automaker TOKYO (AP) — Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda have announced plans to work toward a merger that would catapult them to a top position in an industry in the midst of tectonic shifts as it transitions away from its reliance on fossil fuels. The two companies said they signed an agreement on integrating their businesses on Monday. Smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors agreed to join the talks. News of a possible merger surfaced earlier this month. Japanese automakers face a strong challenge from their Chinese rivals and Tesla as they make inroads into markets at home and abroad. What a merger between Nissan and Honda means for the automakers and the industry BANGKOK (AP) — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan will attempt to merge and create the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Honda will initially lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. Following is a quick look at what a combined Honda and Nissan would mean for the companies, and for the auto industry. Survey: Small businesses are feeling more optimistic about the economy after the election A survey shows small business owners are feeling more optimistic about the economy following the election. The National Federation of Independent Businesses’ Small Business Optimism Index rose by eight points in November to 101.7, its highest reading since June 2021. The Uncertainty Index declined 12 points in November to 98, following October’s pre-election record high of 110. NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said small business owners became more certain about future business conditions following the presidential election, breaking a nearly three-year streak of record high uncertainty. The survey also showed that more owners are also hoping 2025 will be a good time to grow. Heavy travel day off to a rough start after American Airlines briefly grounds all flights WASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne Tuesday about one hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop, which prevented planes from taking off. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 1,447 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed. Twenty-eight flights were canceled. Millions of travelers are expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Nordstrom to be acquired by Nordstrom family and a Mexican retail group in $6.25 billion deal Century-old department store Nordstrom has agreed to be acquired and taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. Nordstrom shareholders will receive $24.25 in cash for each share of Nordstrom common stock, representing a 42% premium on the company’s stock as of March 18. Nordstrom’s board of directors unanimously approved the the proposed transaction, while Erik and Pete Nordstrom — part of the Nordstrom family taking over the company — recused themselves from voting. Following the close of the transaction, the Nordstrom Family will have a majority ownership stake in the company. Stock market today: Wall Street rallies ahead of Christmas Stocks are broadly higher on Wall Street, led by gains in Big Tech stocks. The S&P 500 was up 0.8% in midday trading Tuesday. Chip company Broadcom was again helping to pull the index higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite was up 1%. American Airlines slipped 0.1% after the airline briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical issue. Treasury yields rose. U.S. markets will close at 1 p.m. Eastern and stay closed Wednesday for Christmas. An analyst looks ahead to how the US economy might fare under Trump WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump won a return to the White House in part by promising big changes in economic policy — more tax cuts, huge tariffs on imports, mass deportations of immigrants working in the United States illegally. In some ways, his victory marked a repudiation of President Joe Biden’s economic stewardship and a protest against inflation. It came despite low unemployment and steady growth under the Biden administration. What lies ahead for the economy under Trump? Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics spoke recently to The Associated Press. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. American consumers feeling less confident in December, Conference Board says American consumers are feeling less confident in December, a business research group says. The Conference Board said Monday that its consumer confidence index fell back in December to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Consumers had been feeling increasingly confident in recent months. The consumer confidence index measures both Americans’ assessment of current economic conditions and their outlook for the next six months. The measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for income, business and the job market tumbled more than a dozen points to 81.1. The Conference Board says a reading under 80 can signal a potential recession in the near future. Stock market today: Wall Street rises at the start of a holiday-shortened week Stocks closed higher on Wall Street at the start of a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Monday. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Honda's U.S.-listed shares rose sharply after the company said it was in talks about a combination with Nissan in a deal that could also include Mitsubishi Motors. Eli Lilly rose after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Treasury yields rose in the bond market.

How will 2024 be best-remembered by footy fans in the decade to come? Watch every ball of Australia v India LIVE & ad-break free during play in 4K on Kayo | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer . It might be as the moment Brisbane finally broke through again, winning the premiership it has been so close to reaching for half a decade. Heck, it might be the first of a few, with all the young talent they’ve still got. Or it might be as the year the Brownlow went bonkers, with Patrick Cripps’ second medal coming after an utterly absurd 45 votes. Perhaps we’ll find it to be the start of the slippery slope that led to the Official AFL AI Brownlow Vote Bot (TM)’s decision to award Tom’s son Henry Hawkins his fifth medal after he polled three votes in all 27 of Geelong’s wins across the expanded 2052 season. But neither the Lions’ premiership glory, nor Cripps’ individual triumph, top the list of the 10 most-read stories this year on Foxfooty.com.au. Sure, they feature, because footy fans still care plenty about the biggest events on the calendar. But as always it’s drama and emotion that takes the top spots; such as 2023’s most-read story , the Brayden Maynard finals Tribunal hearing. Let’s see what made the top 10 for 2024 - and we’re pretty sure you won’t pick the winner... 10. EX-MAGPIE HOSPITALISED AFTER LOCAL FOOTY COWARD PUNCH The Cloke family has spent decades in the headlines and a shocking incident involving Jason Cloke during an AFL Masters Queensland Over-35s game drew plenty of attention. The game was called off in the second quarter with a Burleigh player elbowing Cloke in the face, earning a 20-match suspension, and a separate six-game ban for another striking incident. Cloke, the co-captain and coach of Broadbeach, spent the night in hospital but was thankfully OK and has recovered from his injuries suffered in the melee. 9. BRISBANE def SYDNEY IN 2024 GRAND FINAL Yes, the Lions’ glorious Grand Final day is all the way down in ninth - but we can explain that. There was plenty of interest in the Brisbane vs Sydney decider, with the hardcore footy states keen as ever plus the northern states having a vested interest, but the problem was it was a blowout. Close Grand Finals always do better in the TV ratings and digitally as well; but the Lions ran away with the match from late in the second quarter. It’s probably for the best for Brisbane fans’ health that it wasn’t quite as much of a rollercoaster as 2023. Still, what a moment for the Queensland club, becoming the second team this century to win a flag from outside the top four, and coming back from a combined 69 points down in the semi and preliminary finals. 8. BRUTAL REVIEWS BREAK DOWN EVERY TEAM’S 2024 SEASON The problem with sport is that only one team comes out of the season feeling happy. For 17 others, it’s an off-season of soul-searching and trying to get better, which is where Foxfooty.com.au’s trademark brutal reviews come in. Fans who might have tuned out late in the year once their team fell off the pace came back to see what our experts said about their club, from the highs to the lows, and of course looking ahead to the then-looming trade period. Two teams earned an A+ for the season - you can probably guess one, but see if you can figure out the other before clicking through. 7. HINKLEY SANCTIONED AFTER POST-SEMI TAUNT TO GINNI A close final, a coach everyone has an opinion on, Jack Ginnivan AND a cheeky sledge? You can’t get a much juicier story than this one, which emerged in Port Adelaide’s celebrations after holding off Hawthorn in their semi-final thriller. Ginnivan had infamously told ex-teammate Brodie Grundy he’d be seeing him in a fortnight in an Instagram comment, pointing to a potential Hawks-Swans prelim final, and Hinkley took that to heart. The famously emotional coach admitted to using Ginnivan’s pretty simple comment as motivation for the Power, and after the game, Hinkley went over to the Hawks players and told the forward “you’re not flying, Jack” while mimicking an airplane. Hinkley was fined $20,000 for the incident with criticism about confronting a much-younger player - something Hawthorn skipper James Sicily didn’t like at all. The Hawks will return to Adelaide Oval in the final game of Gather Round in Round 5, then play the Power again down in Launceston in Round 19. 6. CRIPPS’ RECORD-SETTING BROWNLOW MEDAL WIN It used to be crazy when a player polled over 30 Brownlow votes. So we probably haven’t talked enough about how crazy it is that Cripps polled 45 (!!!) in winning the AFL’s top individual honour in 2024. Nobody is doubting the validity of his victory, given he and Collingwood’s Nick Daicos were the clear top two contenders heading into the count, but Daicos managed to poll what would’ve been a record 38... and lose by SEVEN. Cripps polled in a staggering 17 games including a record 12 best-on-grounds, sparking plenty of furore about just how ridiculously funnelled votes are into the gun midfielders these days. Look, it’s a midfielder’s medal, and that’s not gonna change unless the way footy is played is revolutionised; mids are just way too important and visible. But something has gone wrong when we’re getting these numbers; just 10 players polled even half as many votes as Cripps. He’s good, but he’s not Definitely The Best Season In Footy History And By A Long Way good. 5. ADAM SIMPSON EXPLAINS VIRAL FINAL PRESSER MOMENT Most expected West Coast to find a new coach at some stage during its rebuild, but what drew the most attention from premiership mentor Adam Simpson’s exit was a little moment as he walked into the room. Of course Harley Reid, who featured in a million headlines across his first AFL season (almost all of them on the back page of The West), was involved in this one too as Simpson appeared to whisper something to him while walking past. Social media sleuths tried to lip-read and figure it out, wondering if it was something about Reid’s future... but unsurprisingly it was something a lot less dramatic. Simpson later revealed it was a comment about Bailey Williams’ dirty red mo. No, really. 4. EVERY VOTE LIVE IN FOX FOOTY BROWNLOW MEDAL TRACKER As always, the actual round-by-round votes from the Brownlow Medal drew plenty of interest, and our yearly Brownlow Tracker did the job for many footy fans. And, well, uhh... what else do you want us to say? It’s the Brownlow votes. Crippa got most of them. Moving on! 3. AFL FINALS FIXTURE EXPLAINED AND UPDATED We open the podium places with our rolling story about the AFL finals fixture, which was kickstarted by a dramatic final day of the home and away season. Once we learned who was actually featuring in September, this story gave fans all the details they needed about when and where the top eight would be playing, as well as explaining the sometimes complicated finals bracket. 2. GWS PLAYERS SANCTIONED OVER WACKY WEDNESDAY EVENT Yes, it’s a post-season story, but it’s NOT about trades! This one had Australia talking with plenty failing to understand why the Giants needed to be punished for their offensive outfits at a players-only function after their straight sets finals exit. Toby Greene was fined $5,000 along with his fellow leadership group members for not stopping the party which had a ‘Controversial Couples’ theme. Six players were suspended including Josh Fahey, who copped four matches for dressing up as Jarryd Hayne - the former NRL star jailed in 2023 for sexual assault who had his conviction overturned earlier this year - and engaging in a skit with a blow-up doll. Other offensive outfits such as the Twin Towers earned players shorter bans. The AFL said the behaviour did not uphold the values of the league or the club and the behaviour was not acceptable in any setting, regardless of whether the event was private. GWS women’s players were understandably ”deeply hurt and angered” by some of the behaviour, which made reference to gender-based violence. And the number one story of the year is... 1. BRILLIANT ACT IN SUPERSTAR SWAN’S MAGICAL MARK LEAVES MUM SAYING THANKS Yes, Isaac Heeney’s insane Mark of the Year in the Swans-Giants qualifying final (that couldn’t actually WIN Mark of the Year because it happened in a final) was massive. But what turned this story into the most-read of the year was the realisation of Jack Buckley’s role in the specky. Even global sports fans on Reddit who were shown the incident were stunned by Buckley’s presence of mind to help Heeney flip over safely and not land on his head. Heeney told Fox Footy post-game “I’m lucky he grabbed my arm – I thought I was coming down on my head ... he actually apologised to me after and made sure I was all right which is nice from him.” That’s good enough, but then you had Heeney’s mum getting involved, commenting on social media that she wanted to give Buckley a hug to thank him, which was sweet. As one Reddit user said: “I think that (from Buckley) is almost a greater feat than the catch itself. What fast thinking.”( MENAFN - Gulf Times) The World Military Equestrian Championship kicked off on Wednesday with an impressive opening ceremony at Al Shaqab's Longines Indoor Arena. Hosts Qatar picked up a silver medal in the first event with First Lieutenant Hamad Ali al-Attiyah finishing second with a flawless round of 32.11 secs in the 120/125 class.

The Boston Celtics pretty much have a superstar starting five, and a few stars to come off the bench right away. However, their deep bench could use a little work. In a proposed trade by Celtics on SI’s Ryan Stano , the Celtics could increase their depth by acquiring Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets. This season, Milton is averaging seven points, two rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes of playing time. He also is shooting a nice 38% from deep. In the trade, the Celtics would get Milton, and the Nets would get Jaden Springer and a second-rounder. This works for the Nets because they aren’t in a position to win at all, and getting a young prospect and an asset could be useful for a future rebuild. For the Celtics, they get someone who can come off the bench and fit into their play style seamlessly. He is a great defender, and can come off the bench and launch threes. Should the Celtics consider this trade? Possibly. Their past few games have been a little hectic, and getting some bench depth could help resolve that.

Trump says he's a 'believer' in polio vaccine, and other news conference takeawaysFLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will be activated from injured reserve and will play against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Friday that Zuerlein is returning after missing seven games with a knee injury to his left, non-kicking leg. He had been shaky before the injury, but the Jets have since been unsettled at the position, with Riley Patterson, Spencer Shrader and Anders Carlson all filling in. “He came back, looked healthy, kicked the ball well this week,” Ulbrich said of Zuerlein. “So, he’ll be our guy going forward here.” Zuerlein is officially listed as questionable to play, but was a full participant the final two practices. Wide receiver Davante Adams is also questionable , but likely to play after participating on a limited basis Friday because of a hip ailment that held him out Thursday. Cornerback Sauce Gardner is also questionable with a hamstring injury that sidelined him in the second half of New York’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams . Zuerlein, who re-signed with the Jets last offseason on a two-year deal, made just nine of 15 field goal attempts and missed one extra point in the first eight games this year. He had been one of the NFL’s most consistently reliable kickers the previous two seasons with the Jets. Patterson kicked in one game after the Jets placed Zuerlein on IR. Shrader also kicked in one game before he was signed off the practice squad by Kansas City. Carlson had been the kicker the past five games, but missed a field goal and an extra point against the Rams and the Jets signed Greg Joseph to the practice squad to provide competition. Ulbrich said earlier in the week Zuerlein would also be in the mix after a long layoff. “I think sometimes that can be powerful, an opportunity just to take a deep breath, get his body healthy again and get a restart,” Ulbrich said. “So I’m excited for him to do his thing these last two games and really demonstrate to everybody who he is as a kicker.” Adams said he was injured early in the game against the Rams, but was still able to catch seven passes for 68 yards and a touchdown. He said he was optimistic about his chances of playing at Buffalo. “We’re still working on it,” Adams said after practice Friday. “We’re treating it, trying to get it right so we can hopefully be there and ready by game time.” Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams could return after missing last week with a hamstring injury. He was listed as questionable and was limited at practice all week. Also questionable but expected to play are right tackle Morgan Moses (knee), safety Tony Adams (ankle), cornerback Michael Carter II (back), defensive end Haason Reddick (neck) and defensive lineman Braiden McGregor (ankle). Defensive tackle Leki Fotu was ruled out with a knee injury. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLBy JOSH DUBOW | Associated Press Athletics president Dave Kaval will resign from the organization after being the public face of the . Kaval has been president of the A’s for the past eight years and will step down from the role on Dec. 31 to pursue new business opportunities in California. Sandy Dean, a longtime business partner with the Fisher family that owns the team, will serve as interim president and a search to fill the full-time role will begin in 2025, when the A’s begin what they hope will be a three-year stint in Sacramento before the franchise ultimately settles in Las Vegas. Kaval and team president John Fisher were at the center of Oakland fans’ growing discontent as multiple potential East Bay stadium plans failed, the franchise’s biggest stars were traded away and ticket prices increased at the same time the franchise annually fielded a team with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Kaval will forever remembered for saying the team was on a “parallel path” that included the ballpark plans in Oakland and Las Vegas, a path that ultimately ended with the . Kaval made the decision to step down after the team had cleared its final major hurdles to get a stadium built in Las Vegas. The approved lease, non-relocation and development documents earlier this month for the Athletics to construct a $1.75 billion stadium on the Strip. Other details remain to be worked out, such as a development agreement with Clark County, but groundbreaking likely will take place in the spring and the team expects to be in the new stadium in Las Vegas for the start of the 2028 season. “We are grateful for Dave’s contributions and leadership over the past eight years,” A’s owner John Fisher said in a statement. “He guided our organization through a period of significant transition, and we sincerely thank him for his unwavering commitment to the team. As we look ahead to the next chapter of our franchise, the team will continue to grow under new leadership, driving the organization toward success during our interim years in West Sacramento and at our new home in Las Vegas.” Kaval failed in his efforts to get a new stadium built for the team in downtown Oakland and eventually helped the organization reach the deal to move to Las Vegas, ending a run of in Oakland. The A’s will play at least the next three seasons at a minor league ballpark in West Sacramento, California. Kaval had previously served as president of the MLS’ San Jose Earthquakes, who are also owned by the Fisher family. When he first came to the A’s, he drew praise for his open-door policy to hear from fans and for changes he made at the Oakland Coliseum. He brought in food trucks for games and opened the “Treehouse” a 10,000-square-foot area that included a bar, lounge and patio for fans to watch games from left field. Kaval took a less public role in the Bay Area after the team announced plans in 2023 to move to Las Vegas, but by then his perceived role as the villain (along with Fisher) in the A’s saga had already been well established. In May 2021, while Kaval and other A’s officials were in Las Vegas exploring possibilities to move the team to the area, he rankled two Bay Area fan bases with a single tweet. While attending the Vegas Golden Knights’ home playoff game he of the boisterous crowd on its feet at T-Mobile Arena just before the drop of the puck. “Wow! #StanleyCup playoffs! @GoldenKnights,” Kaval tweeted in regards to the atmosphere inside the arena. Sharks fans were angered because he was complimenting a hated rival, and A’s fans were enraged because it was at the same time his team was losing to the Seattle Mariners at the Coliseum. Kaval was outwardly optimistic about a new ballpark getting done in Oakland early in his tenure. In 2017, he announced the team had decided on a piece of land in the Peralta Community College District in Laney College. But the plan was met with quick opposition from city leaders and residents who were concerned the stadium would displace low-income families and businesses in the Chinatown and East Lake neighborhoods. A year later, Kaval and the A’s publicly announced their intentions to build their new ballpark at Howard Terminal near Jack London Square. The Oakland City Council in 2021 voted to approve a non-binding term sheet to continue negotiations with the team over the $12 billion proposal that included the ballpark and a mixed-use development project. But Kaval said the team would not accept that term sheet while the two sides disagreed over infrastructure costs. It was around that time . In June 2023, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a bill that would give the A’s $380 million in public money toward their Las Vegas stadium. The A’s began the application process for relocation a week later, and MLB owners unanimously approved the team’s eventual move that November.And with its lease at the Oakland Coliseum up in 2024, the team announced last April it would move temporarily to Sutter Health Park, home of the Sacramento River Cats, rather than extend their lease at their home venue they initially moved to in 1968. In September, the A’s played their final game at the Coliseum, where the team won four World Series and six American League pennants in 57 seasons. ___ AP MLB:Effective policies sought to address reproductive health issues Adviser to Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif addresses a meeting of the Peshawar Media Coalition on reproductive health and family planning on Dec 27, 2024. — Screengrab via Facebook@BarristerDrSaif PESHAWAR: Adviser to Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif on Friday emphasized the need for effective policies and their implementation to address critical issues such as reproductive health and family planning. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); Speaking as chief guest at a meeting of the Peshawar Media Coalition on reproductive health and family planning, he highlighted the necessity of changing societal attitudes toward these matters. Government officials, journalists, and experts attended the meeting, said an official handout.Barrister Saif said that the lack of implementation of policies related to family planning was a social issue that required a consistent and robust government approach to resolve. He emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between federal and provincial governments to ensure proper resource allocation and achieve developmental objectives. The adviser pointed out that while family planning initiatives began in the 1960s, they faced controversy due to religious and social traditions.

Behavioral change, he said, was essential, with religious leaders could play an important role.

He called for the development of an effective communication strategy to foster social attitudes conducive to a positive change. He reaffirmed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s commitment to strengthening its priorities in the family planning sector and taking all possible measures to address resource shortages. He said that relevant institutions would be made more active in implementing policies effectively and resolving these critical issues.The adviser laid special emphasis on the role of media in fostering a conducive environment for behavioural change and promoting awareness about the importance of reproductive health and family planning.
