Australia apologises for sex abuse in military
The Australian government on Monday made a parliamentary apology to victims of abuse in the military and set up a compensation fund after hundreds of claims of rape and sexual assault. Defence Minister Stephen Smith also established an independent taskforce to individually assess each allegation uncovered by a report commissioned by the government last year. The taskforce will be able to refer appropriate matters to police for formal criminal investigation, while offering victims help in accessing counselling, health, and other services. "Young men and women have endured sexual, physical or mental abuse from their colleagues which is not acceptable and does not reflect the values of a modern, diverse, tolerant Australian society," Smith told parliament. "Such experiences have had a lasting, serious, traumatic and adverse impact on the people who have experienced them." In his statement, Smith lashed out at senior military figures who occupied positions of trust and who "abused that trust through their behaviour, including through the turning of a blind eye".

Japan's Renesas soars on news of rescue deal
DHAKA,(Time Of Ban) - Shares in Japan's Renesas Electronics surged nearly 17 percent Monday on reports that its three major shareholders and a government fund had reached a final accord on the embattled chipmaker's bailout.
The stock was 16.60 percent higher by the close at 337 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The Nikkei economic daily and other media reported Monday that the chipmaker's three largest shareholders have agreed to a purchase of the firm by the government-backed Innovation Network Corp. of Japan (INCJ).
Details will be announced early next month, they said. The government fund in late October proposed a state-led bailout of Renesas to the three shareholders -- NEC, Hitachi and
Mitsubishi Electric, the Nikkei said.
The INCJ demanded that Renesas slash its work force by another 5,000 or so as part of the bailout deal, asking the three largest shareholders to take on around 1,000 of these workers, it
said.
The trio have agreed to the work force cuts and other terms, while the INCJ will pay more than 180 billion yen ($2.2 billion) to obtain two-thirds of Renesas's shares, it said.More...

'Increased production of micronutrient-rich small fishes stressed' Rangpur, (Time of Ban) -
FARIDPUR, Nov 26 (FNS) - Rafael Benitez has vowed to win over the Chelsea supporters who are so opposed to his arrival at Stamford Bridge that they booed his name before and during his first game in charge. Sunday's 0-0 draw at home to Premier League champions Manchester City left the Champions League holders in fourth place, a point behind West Bromwich Albion. The Spaniard made an extraordinary claim that he had not heard the abuse that was directed at him in protest at his appointment to succeed Roberto Di Matteo, who was fired despite leading the club to Champions League glory in May. The supporters also sang Di Matteo's praises throughout. "My experience in England is that when the fans are singing in the stands, I don't understand what they say," said the former Liverpool manager, whose comments about Chelsea during his time at Anfield are the root of the enmity. "So I was just concentrating. I can understand because of the rivalry in the past. More...
