Caretaker Prime Minister (PM) Charlot Salwai extended his condolences to the Paramount Chief of Ifira, Teriki Pa'au Nimanu Mantoi Kalsakau III, following the passing of Ephraim Kalsakau, a former Member of Parliament for Port Vila, yesterday. In his statement, Mr. Salwai said Ifira had lost one of its sons and assured that the government of Vanuatu would support the funeral service, as is customary. The caretaker PM acknowledged that the late Ephraim Kalsakau was a well-known figure throughout Vanuatu, particularly for his continuous support in advocating for workers' rights through the Workers Union of Vanuatu. His contributions to improving the lives of workers were recognised nationwide, marking him as a dedicated and influential figure in the country’s labour movement. The late Kalsakau was a strong trade unionist and politician, known for his significant contributions to both the labour movement and the political scene of Vanuatu. In 1987, he played a pivotal role in founding the Vanuatu Labour Party (VLP), aiming to create a political arm for the united trade unions in the country. Kalsakau was also known for his political stance, rejecting the notion that there was a significant difference between the two major parties of Vanuatu: the Vanua’aku Pati (VP) and the Union of Moderate Parties (UMP). Though he ran unsuccessfully for Parliament as a VLP candidate in Port Vila in 2004, he was elected to the National Parliament in the 2008 general election, representing the VLP. At the time of his passing, he was serving as honorary Secretary-General of the Vanuatu National Workers Union, continuing his work to advocate for workers' rights across the country. The passing of Mr. Kalsakau deeply affected many workers whom he had tirelessly fought for throughout his life. As a dedicated trade unionist, he won numerous cases advocating for workers' rights, earning him the respect and admiration of the labour community. His commitment to improving the conditions of workers and his success in securing their rights left a lasting impact on the lives of many, and his loss is felt profoundly by those he worked to support. The body of the late Kalsakau will be flown from India to Vanuatu in the coming weeks. A funeral service programme will be released to allow the public to pay their last respects to the former MP and prominent trade unionist. The details of the funeral arrangements will be shared, enabling the people of Vanuatu to honour his memory and contributions to the nation. Caretaker PM Salwai made his condolences message yesterday at the Ifira Stevedoring main office at the wharf. This occurred during the presentation of a VT50 million dividend cheque from the company to the government. In his remarks, PM Salwai expressed his sympathies for the passing of Ephraim Kalsakau, while also acknowledging the significant contribution of Ifira Stevedoring to the nation’s economy.Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100 ATLANTA (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia. Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’ PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — The 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, James Earl Carter Jr., died Sunday at the age of 100. His life ended where it began, in Plains, Georgia. He left and returned to the tiny town many times as he climbed to the nation’s highest office and lost it after four tumultuous years. Carter spent the next 40 years setting new standards for what a former president can do. Carter wrote nearly a decade ago that he found all the phases of his life challenging but also successful and enjoyable. The Democrat's principled but pragmatic approach defied American political labels, especially the idea that one-term presidents are failures. The Latest: Former President Jimmy Carter is Dead at age 100 Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. He left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter: A brief bio Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died at his home in Plains, Georgia.

Jetliner skids off runway and bursts into flames while landing in South Korea, killing 179 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. Officials said all but two of the 181 people on board were killed Sunday in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters. The 737-800 operated by Jeju Air plane arrived from Bangkok and crashed while attempting to land in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. Footage of the crash aired by South Korean television channels showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed. Tornadoes in Texas and Mississippi kill 2 and injure 6 as severe weather system moves east HOUSTON (AP) — A strong storm system is threatening to whip up tornadoes in parts of the U.S. Southeast, a day after severe weather claimed at least two lives as twisters touched down in Texas and Mississippi. Strong storms moving eastward Sunday are expected to continue producing gusty, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes through Sunday. That is according to National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira. So far, the line of severe weather has led to about 40 tornado reports from southeastern Texas to Alabama, Pereira said, but those reports remain unconfirmed until surveys of damage are completed. Israeli hospital says Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery. Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center said his prostate was removed late Sunday and that he was recovering. Netanyahu’s office had said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. Doctors ordered the operation after detecting an infection last week. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. Syria's de facto leader says it could take up to 4 years to hold elections BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s de facto leader has said it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans on dissolving his Islamist group that led the country’s insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview Sunday. That's according to the Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad’s decades-long rule, ending the country’s uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. A fourth infant dies of the winter cold in Gaza as families share blankets in seaside tents DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A fourth infant has died of hypothermia in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly 15 months of war are huddled in tents along the rainy, windswept coast as winter arrives. The baby's father says the 20-day-old child was found with his head as “cold as ice” Sunday morning in their tent. The baby’s twin brother was moved to the intensive care unit of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Their father says the twins were born one month premature and spent just a day in hospital, which like other Gaza health centers has been overwhelmed and only partially functions. Musk causes uproar for backing Germany's far-right party ahead of key elections BERLIN (AP) — Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest. Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag, published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD.Trump stands by controversial defence secretary pick

Chinese steel giant threatens to withdraw investment

A pair of the New York Giants’ most dynamic playmakers made NFL history in their 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Giants: Malik Nabers & Tyrone Tracy Jr. reach 1,000 yards Per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov, Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. did something that only one other pair of rookie teammates achieved in the last 50 years in Week 17: “Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers and RB Tyrone Tracy are just the second pair of rookie teammates since 1970 to each surpass 1,000 yards,” Meirov published on X on Sunday afternoon. Nabers and Tracy are the first rookie pairing since Marques Colston and Reggie Bush (New Orleans Saints) in 2006 to each have 1,000+ scrimmage yards in a season. Tracy Jr. hit 1,000 total yards with a solid game vs. Colts Tracy Jr. came into the Sunday affair needing 16 total yards of offense to amass 1,000 yards for the campaign. He had 721 rushing yards and 263 receiving yards to his name. The Purdue product collected 59 rushing yards on 20 attempts and 14 receiving yards on the game, bringing his total yardage to 1,057 yards. Nabers gained 1,000 REC yards with huge Week 17 outing As for Nabers, the electric pass-catcher was sitting pretty with 969 REC yards through 13 games played, and two rushing yards on top of that. The LSU product exploded for 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions against the Colts. He now has 1,140 receiving yards on the year and is the Giants’ first 1,000-yard receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. in 2018. Nabers’ defining game also made him the third player in franchise history to amass over 100 receptions in a single season. His 104 receptions are the most by a rookie in Giants history and have him on pace to break Steve Smith’s franchise single-season reception record (106). With the Giants having one more game left to play this season, Nabers could smash a couple more records this season. Nabers and Tracy Jr. have gifted the Giants with two playmakers who are on track to be elite players at their respective positions if they trend upward from here on out.
