By AL ARABIYA WITH AGENCIES: BRUSSELS

The European Union is open to meaningful talks with Tehran provided there are no preconditions on the Iranian side, an EU foreign policy spokesman said on Saturday.

Earlier, Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency quoted a senior official as saying that Iran’s nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili will write to the EU’s foreign affairs chief to express Tehran’s readiness for fresh nuclear talks with major powers.

Jalili said he has formally called on the six powers - the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - to return to the negotiating table with Iran.

EU foreign policy spokesman, Michael Mann, said in an email to Reuters that Catherine Ashton wrote to Jalili in October and had not yet had a response.

Here comes 2012! Spectacular fireworks light up the skylines as countries across the world welcome the new year

By PAMELA OWEN

Australia welcomes in the New Year with its spectacular firework display by the Sydney Opera House. This year's theme was 'Time to Dream' and Harbour Bridge was the main focal point. 

More than 1million people gathered to watch the display which saw a series of colourful lights beamed into the centre of the bridge forming an endless rainbow. The first country to see in the new year was Samoa after the island hopped over the dateline. They are usually the last.

Spectacular fireworks have lit up the night skies as countries across the globe celebrate the New Year, including Australia, Singapore and Japan.

More than a million people gathered at mass at vantage points along the harbour to watch the pyrotechnics display in Sydney, Australia, which featured the arch of the bridge as its focal point.

This year's theme was 'Time to Dream' and it is hoped it will help inspire those who have had a particularly bad 2011 to look forward to the year ahead.

Some of the fireworks exploded into shapes of clouds - because every one has a silver lining - and a series of colourful lights were beamed into the centre of the bridge forming an 'endless rainbow'.

Spectacular scenes could be seen from across the city as fireworks exploded over Marina Bay during the New Year celebrations in Singapore

Some 3,000 police officers will be on duty overnight to deal with the crowds expected to descend on the capital, not only on the banks of the Thames to watch the fireworks but also in Trafalgar Square.

Some will be stationed on podiums to give them a bird's-eye view of any troublemakers in the crowds.

Chief Superintendent Julia Pendry, of Scotland Yard, said: 'New Year's Eve is a special time of the year and we want people to enjoy it to the full.

'Make sure you look after yourself and those around you. Officers will be out and about to deter criminals and keep crowds safe.

'New Year's Eve in central London is extremely busy so do come prepared and wrap up warm, as you may have to wait to prevent overcrowding. The viewing area does fill up really quickly and each area will be closed off by the organisers once it reaches its capacity.'

She urged people to consider watching the fireworks on TV instead, as sometimes the viewing area fills up as early as 8pm.

All travel in London will be free from 11.45pm on New Year's Eve until 4.30am on New Year's Day. Road closures will be in place in the city from 4pm on December 31. British Transport Police have advised travellers to expect queues on their journey home from the centre of London.

Regulate acid sale, says Kayihura

Kayihura raised the need to record those who import and store acid

By Steven Candia and Cecilia Okoth

Police boss Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura has called for the regulation of the sale of acid, following the re-emergence of acid attacks in the country.

Speaking at the launch of a new community policing model for the Police force, Kayihura said stringent measures should be applied on acid sale, just like firearms. The regulations, he said, should also guide on its importation.

“There is need to record those who import and store acid. We also have to monitor how those people use it without causing any harm to others,” said the police chief.

Kayihura added that there was no way the Police could stop acid attacks, given that most of them take place in domestic settings.

His remarks came in the wake of a recent acid attack on a city pastor.

Pastor Umar Mulinde of the Gospel Life Church, Namasuba, was attacked by an unknown assailant on Christmas Eve as he left the church in the night.

He said there was need to monitor closely how acid is used in schools and garages, some of the chief users of the chemical.

Newt in tears: Gingrich breaks down as he talks about his dead mother

By MARK DUELL

Newt Gingrich has made a name for himself on the presidential campaign trail as a tough candidate who won’t let much phase him.

But the former House Speaker choked up and wiped away tears while recalling his late mother's struggle with depression and bipolar disease.

He told mothers in Des Moines, Iowa, his focus on brain science issues stems from ‘dealing with the real problems of real people in my family’.

  Sadness: Newt Gingrich choked up and wiped away tears while recalling his late mother's struggle with depression and mental illness

After showing his emotions, the Republican presidential candidate conceded that he does ‘policy much easier than I do personal’.

‘I get teary-eyed every time we sing Christmas carols,’ he said, reported Politico. ‘My mother sang in the choir and loved singing in the choir.

‘When I was very young she made me sing in the choir and we had pictures of me at a very young age singing in the choir.’

The moment was reminiscent of Hillary Rodham Clinton's tearful response to a question just before the 2008 Democratic primary in New Hampshire.

Emotional: He told mothers in Des Moines, Iowa, his focus on brain science issues stems from 'dealing with the real problems of real people in my family'

That was credited with humanising Mrs Clinton in the eyes of voters, but she eventually lost out to President Barack Obama as the race went on.

Mr Gingrich also talked about his work with former Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey on brain science and long-term care for the elderly.

He has fallen in recent Iowa polls behind frontrunners Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, with the caucuses just four days away.

An NBC poll put Mr Romney on 23 per cent, above Mr Paul on 21 per cent, Rick Santorum on 15 per cent and Rick Perry on 14 per cent.

Mr Gingrich is behind all four of them with 13 per cent, but is still above Michele Bachmann on 6 per cent and Jon Huntsman with 2 per cent.

Mother and son: Newt Gingrich is pictured with his late mother Kathleen in 1994, who died in 2003 aged 77

Republican strategist Frank Luntz asked him at the event in Java Joe’s Coffee House about a moment with his mother that had changed his life.

'She had bipolar disease and depression and she gradually acquired some physical ailments,' Mr Gingrich said to an audience of around 100.

'That introduced me to the whole issue of quality long-term care - and that introduced me to the issue of Alzheimer's.'

Mr Gingrich's mother Kathleen ‘Kit’ Gingrich died in 2003 aged 77. 'She spent 27 years as an Army wife,' Mr Gingrich said, reported the International Business Times. 'I would say to her - I will do everything I can as a candidate to be worthy.'

Mr Gingrich's wife Callista, daughters Kathy and Jackie, sons-in-law, and two grandchildren joined him at the event, reported CNN. See video here.

Hatma ya Rashid mikononi mwa Maalim Seif

Katibu Mkuu CUF, Seif Shariff Hamad Ijumaa anaongoza Kikao cha Kamati ya Utendaji ya chama hicho kitakachopitia tuhuma za uvunjaji katiba zinazomkabili Mbunge wa Wawi, Hamad Rashid Mohamed na wenzake 12.

Kwa mujibu wa gazeti la Mwananchi Wakati Maalim Seif akitarajiwa kuongoza kikao hicho, tayari Hamad Rashid ametangaza kutokuwa na imani na mtendaji mkuu huyo wa CUF baada ya kunasa kile alichokiita, waraka wa siri wa kiongozi huyo, unaoeleza namna ya kumfukuza uanachama.

Wachunguzi wa mambo ya siasa wanatafsiri mkutano wa leo chini ya Maalim Seif dhidi ya hasimu wake kisiasa Hamad Rashid, ni sawa na kwamba ameshika kitanzi kitakachoamua hatma ya uhai au ukomo wa mwanasiasa huyo ndani ya CUF.

Hata hivyo, alhamisi akizungumza jijini Dar es Salaam, Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Nidhamu na Maadili ya chama hicho, Abdul Kambaya, alisema watuhumiwa hao wakipatikana na hatia, kamati hiyo inaweza kutoa mapendekezo kwa Baraza Kuu la kutoa onyo, karipio ama kuwafukuza uanachama. Kusoma zaidi bofya

Kambaya, alisema kamati hiyo imemaliza kuwahoji watuhumiwa 12 na mmoja ambaye ni mjumbe wa Baraza Kuu kutoka Mbeya, hakufika kuhojiwa. “Kwa hiyo tumemaliza kuwahoji watuhumiwa wote na wametupa ushirikiano, tunachofanya sasa ni kuandaa taarifa kwenda katika kikao cha siku mbili cha Kamati ya Utendaji kitakachoanza kesho (leo) mjini Zanzibar,” alisema Kambaya.

Akizungumzia uhalali wa kamati yake, mwenyekiti huyo, alisema kamati hiyo imeundwa kutokana na maelekezo ya Baraza Kuu kupitia kifungu namba 63, kipengele namba 1 (e).

Vita urais yazidi kutikisa CCM

Waziri Mkuu aliyejiuzulu na Mbunge wa
 Monduli,Edward Lowassa

Vigogo hawaaminiani, Kambi zapigana vikumbo kujiimarisha

Mwandishi Wetu

WAKATI Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kikihaha kutibu makovu yanayotokana na harakati za kuwania urais wa 2015, imethibitika kwamba vigogo wa chama hicho wakiwamo wale wa kundi la wanamtadao linalodaiwa kwamba lilimwingiza Rais Jakaya Kikwete madarakani mwaka 2005 hawaaminiani katika harakati za kugombea urais kupitia CCM.

Uchunguzi wa Mwananchi wa kabla na baada ya vikao vya Nec vilivyomalizika hivi karibuni unaonyesha kwamba vigogo wa CCM kutoka kambi zote wamekuwa wakiendesha kampeni za chini kwa chini kwa ajili ya kujiimarisha na kisha kuweza kuteuliwa kugombea kupitia chama hicho kwenye Uchaguzi Mkuu 2015.

Taarifa ambazo Mwananchi imezipata zinaonyesha kwamba hata baadhi ya vigogo wanaosadikiwa kuwa kundi moja sasa hawaaminiani jambo ambalo linaashiria kuwa vita ya urais CCM itatawala kwenye uchaguzi mkuu wa chama hicho unaoanza mwakani katika ngazi zote nchini.

Wakati wa vikao vyake vya juu vilivyomalizika Novemba 24 mwaka huu mjini Dodoma, CCM kilipokea na kupitisha taarifa ya hali ya siasa ambayo kimsingi ilibainisha kuwa hali ya siasa ndani ya chama sio shwari kutokana baadhi ya viongozi kupigana vikumbo kuwania madaraka.

Katika taarifa hiyo, CCM kilisema chanzo kikubwa cha migawanyiko ndani ya chama hicho ni harakati za kugombea urais mwaka 2015.

NEMA leaves 1000 people homeless in Jinja

Over 1000 people were on Thursday left homeless after they were evicted by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) for allegedly encroaching on a wetland in Jinja municipality.

The locals, according to Naboth Kusiima, the liaison officer attached to the environmental police force under NEMA, said the area was a buffer zone which they had illegally occupied.

“These people occupied this place illegally. They were supposed to get approval from NEMA, which they never did and that is why we have evicted them,” said Kusiima, adding that they were served with notices not to dare put any development in the area.

But the locals explained that they were given over 20 acres of the wetland, located at Loco village in Jinja central division by the division LC3 chairperson, Mubarak Kirunda.

Kusiima said Kirunda was served two letters restraining him from further utilization of the wetland but he kept encouraging people to continue erecting structures.

They had put up permanent and temporary structures, some complete while others yet to be completed, for both residential and business purposes.

Rose Namayanja, whose house was at beam level, said Kirunda proposed that they were going to shift Rippon landing site to where they were constructing in order to expand their businesses.

Bank loans and lost property

Namayanja added that the resident district commissioner, Judith Rwakishumba visited them on several occasions advising them to first grade the venue with murrum before constructing.

“I got a loan from the bank to construct this structure after we received assurance from both Kirunda and the RDC and now we are evicted yet they are nowhere to come to our rescue,” Namayanja was furious.

Wakristo wa Nigeria waapa kujilinda wenyewe

Baada ya mashambulizi ya bomu dhidi ya madrasa kusini mwa Nigeria, shaka imenza kuzuka kwa kiapo cha Wakristo nchini humo kujilinda wenyewe kufuatia mfululizo wa mashambulizi dhidi yao yaliyofanywa na Boko Haram.

Mkuu wa muungano wa Wakristo nchini Nigeria, Mchungaji Ayo Oritsejafor, amewahimiza waumini wasilipize kisasi, lakini akasema wanapaswa kujilinda wenyewe pamoja na mali zao na maeneo ya ibada kwa njia yoyote ile wanayoweza.

"Muafaka ni kwamba jamii ya Wakristo nchi nzima hawatakuwa na chaguo lengine ila kuchukua hatua zifaazo iwapo kutafanywa mashambulio mengine dhidi ya waumini wenzao, makanisa na mali." Amesema mchungaji huyo.

Mchungaji Oritsejafor alikuwa akizungumza akiwa Madalla, karibu na mji mkuu Abuja wakati alipolitembelea kanisa Katoliki la Mtakatifu Theresa, ambako mashambulizi mabaya kabisa yalifanywa, ambapo watu 35 kati ya 40 waliouwawa kwenye msururu wa mashambulizi ya mabomu sikukuu ya Krismasi Jumapili iliyopita, walikufa hapo.

Viongozi wa Kikristo wameihimiza serikali na idara ya ujasusi zichukue hatua zaidi dhidi ya machafuko yanayozidi kufanywa na kundi la Boko Haram. Mchugaji Ayo Oritsejafor ameyaeleza mashambulio hayo kuwa tangazo la vita dhidi ya Wakristo na Nigeria nzima kama taifa.

Majeruhi wakitibiwa baada ya mashambulizi ya mabomu dhidi ya kanisa nchini Nigeria.

Hapo jana pia muungano wa makanisa ya Kipentekoste nchini Nigeria ulisema waumini wake watajilinda iwapo mashambulio dhidi yao yataendelea mwaka ujao 2012 na kama maafisa wa serikali watashindwa kuwalinda wakristo. Hata hivyo afisa wa muungano huo alisisita kwamba hawawachochei waumini wajihami na silaha na kuingia kwenye mapigano.

Huku hali ya kukatisha tamaa ikiongezeka kutokana na serikali kutoweza kuyazuia mashambulio licha ya operesheni za kijeshi, rais wa Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan amesema wanafanya kila wawezalo wakisaidiwa na mataifa mengine barani Afrika na kwingineko yaliyowahi kukabiliwa na mashambulio ya makundi yenye misimamo mikali ya kidini. Rais Jonathan amewataka Wanigeria wasiwafiche wala kuwahifadhi wahalifu.

Maafisa wa serikali wako mbioni kuwapa misaada watu takriban 9,000 waliolazimika kuyakimbia makazi yao katika mji wa Damaturu kaskazini mashariki mwa Nigeria, kufuatia mapambano makali kati ya maafisa wa usalama na kundi la Boko Haram wiki iliyopita. Duru za polisi na za kundi la kutetea haki za binadamu zinasema hadi watu 100 wanahofiwa mjini humo.

Viongozi wa Nigeria wako mbioni kutuliza hali ya wasiwasi huku kukiwa na hofu kwamba huenda yakazuka mapigano kati ya makundi mbalimbali ya kidini nchini humo.

Kurdish rebels call for an uprising in Turkey after dozens killed in an air strike

By AFP: ISTANBUL

The rebel Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on Friday urged Kurds in Turkey to stage an “uprising” after an air force raid killed 35 villagers near the Iraq border.

“We urge the people of Kurdistan... to react after this massacre and seek a settling of accounts through uprisings,” Bahoz Erdal from the armed wing of the PKK, labeled a terrorist organization by Ankara, said in a statement.

Turkey’s ruling party on Thursday said the strike could have been a “blunder” that killed civilians and not Kurdish separatists.

“According to initial reports, these people were smugglers and not terrorists,” said Huseyin Celik, vice-president of the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP).

“If it turns out to have been a mistake, a blunder, rest assured that this will not be covered up,” he said, adding that it could have been an “operational accident” by the military.

Kabale separated twins readmitted at Mulago

The twins are still frail with fever at the hospital.

By Violet Nabatanzi

The Kabale twins who recently underwent a successful separation operation at Wadi El Nil hospital in Cairo, Egypt have been readmitted at Mulago National Referral hospital.

Trevor and Timothy were admitted in Acute Ward 11 in Old Mulago on after they developed severe fever and diarrhea.

According to the twins’ mother Rosette Tusiime, Trevor and Timothy developed fever after their parents walked a long distance with them to the church in Mulago on Christmas day and they started vomiting.

“On Sunday we walked a long distance from our residence in Bukoto up to the church where we prayed from. Since we did not have an umbrella under the sun’s heat, the twins developed a fever and started vomiting,” Tusiime said in an interview with New Vision at the ward.

The male twins, now six months old, were born on June 10 to Rosette and her husband Denis Owomugisha in Kekubo, Kabale Municipality.

Trevor is weaker than Timothy and he is now feeding through a nasogastric (NG) tube.

“We came knowing that doctors would give us medicine for the twins and go back but we were surprised when we were told to stay at the hospital after doctors sensed that the situation was worse,” Tusiime said.

Risky situation

The twins risk getting infections from other children since they are sharing the same ward and yet their wounds haven’t yet cured.

“I was told by the nurses to pay a deposit of sh30,000 for a separate room but at the moment we don’t have any money,” Tusiime said.

Mulago’s Acute Care Unit admits babies with a variety of diseases.

By AL ARABIYA WITH REUTERS

The head of the Sunni-backed Iraqiya political bloc said Iraq “stands on the brink of disaster” and issued a list of demands on Wednesday in a political crisis triggered by charges against a Sunni leader.

Iraqiya leader Iyad Allawi, in an editorial for the New York Times, said Iraq was heading towards a “sectarian autocracy that carries with it the threat of devastating civil war.”

Sectarian tensions are running high in Iraq ten days after the last U.S. troops pulled out. Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has sought the arrest of Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, accused of running death squads.

Kafulila aichanganya NCCR-Mageuzi

YAITISHA MKUTANO KUFAFANUA AMI YA MAHAKAMA, HAMAD RASHID MAMBO BADO MAZITO CUF

Waandishi wetu

AMRI ya Mahakama Kuu iliyozuia utekelezaji wa uamuzi wa Halmashauri Kuu ya NCCR-Mageuzi kumvua uanachama Mbunge wa Kigoma Kusini, David Kafulila imeonekana kuuchanganya uongozi wa chama hicho ambao jana ulilazimika kutoa ufafanuzi wa hatua hiyo ukisema haujatengua uamuzi wake huo.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari, Mkuu wa Idara ya Sheria, Katiba na Haki za Binadamu wa chama hicho, Dk Sengondo Mvungi alisema kabla ya kupokea hati ya Mahakama Kuu juzi juu ya amri hiyo, simu za wanachama wake mbalimbali pamoja na mitandao ya kijamii imekuwa ikiandika habari kuwa mahakama hiyo tayari imempa Kafulila ushindi katika shauri lake dhidi ya chama hicho.

“Msimamo wa chama kwa sasa ni kwamba maamuzi yake ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya Desemba 17, mwaka huu bado hayajatenguliwa wala kujadiliwa na mahakama yoyote ile. Isipokuwa kwa sasa tumepokea amri ya Mahakama Kuu ikizuia chama kisiendelee na hatua zaidi dhidi ya Kafulila na wenzake walioshiriki kushtaki chama kwenye kesi namba 218 ya mwaka 2011 mpaka shauri la msingi litakapoamuriwa,” alisema na kuongeza:

“Ufafanuzi wa kilichoamriwa na mahakama ni kuhusiana na yale waliyoyaomba ambapo hakuna hati yoyote inayoonyesha maombi ya kubatilisha maamuzi ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa (ya NCCRR-Mageuzi). Suala la kuamuru upande katika kesi usifanye jambo zaidi ni katika mamlaka ya mahakama ambalo chama hakina tatizo na suala hilo.”

Kim Jong Ill azikwa

Korea Kaskazini imekamilisha mazishi ya kiongozi wake marehemu Kim Jong Il yaliyochukua saa tatu, huku gari lililobeba jeneza lake likirejea katika kasri ambapo mwili wa kiongozi huyo utahifadhiwa.

Maelfu ya wanajeshi na raia wamejitokeza katika barabara za mji wa Pyongyang ambapo msafara uliobeba mwili wa kiongozi wao, Kim Jong Ill, ulipitia.

Licha ya baridi kali na theluji kuanguka, waomboezaji hao walijitokeza kwa wingi huku wakiangua vilio, wakijipiga vifua na kuomboleza kifo cha kiongozi wao na kutoa heshima zao za mwisho.

Mrithi wa kiongozi huyo, mwanawe wa mwisho wa kiume, Kim Jong Un, aliusindikiza mwili wa baba yake akiandamana na maafisa wakuu wa jeshi na wanachama wa chama cha tawala, akiwemo mjomba wake, Jang Song Taek.

Wachambzi wanasema Taek, ambaye alionekana kuwa naibu wa marehemu Kim Jong Ill, atamsaidia mpwa wake, Kim Jong Un, ambaye ana umri wa miaka 27, kuliongoza taifa hilo kwani hana ujuzi wa kutosha kuendesha masuala ya kitaifa kutokana na umri wake mchanga.

Zanzibar opposition, lawyers query sunk vessel report delay

Zanzibar President, Dr Ali Mohammed Shein

Opposition political parties and lawyers in Zanzibar have expressed grave concern over delays in releasing the report on MV Spice Islanders which sunk off Nungwi area in September this year, killing over 200 people and injuring 600 others.

The report was submitted early this month to Zanzibar President Dr Ali Mohamed Shein by the chairman of the probe commission, Justice Abdulhakim Ameir Issa. The commission was formed after the boat capsized at the Nungwi channel on September 10, this year.

Opposition Chadema information and communication director Kombo Dadi Maalim said that it was surprising that over three weeks had already passed since the report was completed and submitted, but the government was yet to make it public.

“The government even pledged to give some consolation money to families that lost their beloved ones, but up to this moment, nothing is going on,” he said.

He said the delay of making the report public has caused confusion among the people who were affected in one way or another, and they did not know where to start following up rights of their beloved ones.

SHTUKA NA GAZETI LA MWANANCHI: Hali ya Hewa: Mafuriko makubwa yanakuja Dar

Yasema Alhamis Hadi Jumamosi Kuwa Siku Mbaya Zaidi, Pia Kuyakumba Maeneo Mengi Nchini

Waandishi wetu

MAMLAKA ya Hali ya Hewa Tanzania (TMA), imetoa tahadhari ya kuendelea kunyesha mvua kubwa zaidi katika siku 10 zijazo, huku ikizitaja Alhamisi hadi Jumamosi kuwa ni siku za mafuriko mengine makubwa zaidi katika jiji la Dar es Salaam.

Wakati TMA ikitoa tahadhari hiyo, Shirika la Reli Tanzania (TRL), limesitisha safari za treni ya abiria kwa muda usiojulikana kutoka Dar es Salaam kwenda Kigoma, kutokana na mvua zinazoendelea kunyesha maeneo mbalimbali ya nchi.

Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa TMA, Dk Agnes Kijazi alisema jana katika taarifa yake kuwa kutokana na mvua hizo, ni vyema tahadhari zote zikachukuliwa mapema ili kuepuka maafa zaidi.

“Wale wananchi ambao wanaishi mabondeni na waliokumbwa na mafuriko, wahame kutokana na mvua zinazoanza kunyesha Desemba 27 (jana), hadi Desemba 31 mwaka huu, kwani zitaleta madhara makubwa kwa wanaoishi mabondeni na sehemu nyingine mbalimbali,” alisema Dk Kijazi.

Alisema kwamba ukanda wa mvua unatarajia kuimarika maeneo mengi nchini na mvua zinatarajiwa kuanza kwenye ukanda wa pwani, ikiwemo Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam na kuongezeka kuelekea mwaka mpya wa 2012.

Dk Kijazi alisema mifumo ya hali ya hewa inaonyesha kuimarika kwa hali ya joto katika Bahari ya Hindi na kuongezeka kwa msukumo wa hewa yenye unyevunyevu kutoka misitu ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasi ya Kongo (DRC).

Alisema hali hiyo imesababisha makutano ya upepo katika eneo la Mashariki na Kusini Magharibi mwa nchi, kuanzia leo kuelekea mwaka mpya... “Hali hii inatarajia kusababisha kuanza kwa vipindi vya mvua kubwa katika maeneo mengi hapa nchini.”
