From Trinidad and Tobago to a deal in middle east

From Trinidad and Tobago to a deal in middle east


Trinidad and Tobago in the caribbean one doesn't get much to hear about this nation. Papers from IHT to AWSJ may have at some point of time done stories on richness of this nation and skilled workforce it has send across the world including writers and speakers. Cricketing fraternity has some of them, perhaps some new anchors may trace their roots. A South American American may hold strong potential for high office in North America down the line if not in the immediate future. Renewed efforts to get a nuclear deal gets noticed, some thoughts at this point would be prudent. A Middle East that is at peace with itself; one that sends good tidings would warm our hearts. A 20 -year freeze on nuclear facilities of a middle east nation won't be out of place, setting to rest innuendoes that (Tel A)  Tel Me Why fires now and then. House Speaker has given an invite that has not gone down well, more coming in the way of keeping suspicious clouds in circulation. A peaceful Iran is all we want, a progressive nation we seek and for its own good a deal spanning at least 20-odd years freezing nuclear programme won't be bad.
For its own good, Iran should not stall investigation into its nuclear programme. A deal that keeps it miles and miles away from material to make bombs because if ever some hostile forces become part of a future regime, negotiations would be hard leading to more instability. The deal should involve a follow up on a consistent basis, periodic checks on nuclear sites.

A Middle East that generates jobs, a middle east that pumps oil and not oscillation and a territory that keeps the flag of stability flying is highly welcome. From the stable of a Middle East channel, Stories on New Zealand dairy sector, homeless in americas, the challenges in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, oil theft in Nigeria and chelsea fans racial outburst in the tube are some among many which we appreciate. The trio speaking on Greece Gaining a Grace Period on a Sunday (Athens, London and perhaps Rome) was noteworthy. The trio which had two as research scholars was good.  The one on Cambodia (101 East) featured the deep schism in the provinces, not showing much on  capital Phnom Penh the place we relish and felt rejuvenated. Perhaps a story on Siem Reap would come at some point of time.  Mecca Medina is great, some care should have been taken to not let so many high rise constructions come around.

Stories on Hong Kong and China's reluctance to give universal suffrage may have run out of momentum, perhaps this thought may be entertained by leaders in BIG C that a meeting of sorts would be ideal. Get two Chief Executives elected in 2017, one nominated by BIG C and one by HK residents or something like that to break the deadlock. BIG C is winning acceptance at home by coming hard on corruption, all kudos to Mr Xi. Challenging assignments should also be accompanied with giving a good advice to erstwhile USSR to bring back the rebels from Ukraine and the West freezing plans to rope in Ukraine in Nato.  A peaceful Ukraine that gets its economy booming and freed from rebels.
Coming to TV 5 Monde the Mont d'or  cheese story evinced as much interest as its preparation.

As for debates in national capital in delhi, it should be how to decongest traffic, improve the police functioning by keeping goons in check and a realisation that a force that is on some sort of contract would deliver more than one with permanent powers and perks.  DEbates that show how more can be gainfully employed and how fiscal deficit should be kept at 4.5 per cent of GDP, 4.1 per cent was highly unrealistic. DEbates that lay emphasis on bio degradable toilets in all coaches of trains. DEbates that tell that high rise coming across AIIMS is a decision that should not have been taken in the first place. DEbates that talk about rash driving by cluster buses and other modes of public transport. Debates that tell how indiscipline spreads in society.  DEbates that keeps a tab on good and mixed tidings.
