Iran said Tuesday that 10 officials have involved in the incident of downing a Ukrainian passenger plane last year, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

Outgoing military prosecutor Gholam Abbas made the statement during a ceremony to hand his post to Nasir Siraj as Iran's new military prosecutor.
Days after the Jan. 8 incident, Tehran admitted that "human error" had brought down Ukrainian International airlines flight 752, in which all 176 passengers on board were killed.
In December, Iran pledged to pay an amount of $150,000 as compensation to the families of each of the plane victims.
The downing of the plane came amid heightened tensions with the US after the assassination of top general Qasem Soleimani in Iraq early in January 2020.

Media houses in Tanzania that had been closed, banned or denied licenses to operate by the former government will now be allowed to reopen, the county’s president announced on Tuesday.

In a move hailed as a positive future for press freedom in Tanzania, President Samia Suluhu ordered the Information Ministry to lift the ban on media outlets mainly for criticizing the former government.
Speaking at the State House in the capital Dar-es-Salaam, Suluhu said that as long as the media respect law and guidelines, they will be allowed to operate.
-I am told you revoked licenses of some media outlets, including some online television stations. You should lift the ban but tell them to follow the law and government guideline- the president ordered the ministry.
The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), the country’s media regulatory body, has in the past tightened the noose on press freedom in the country.
According to a report by the Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Tanzania became “increasingly authoritarian” after John Magufuli became president in 2015. None of the 180 countries ranked in RSF’s World Press Freedom Index has suffered such a precipitous decline in recent years.

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu announced that her country will set up a COVID-19 task force to deal with the disease.

-On the issue of COVID-19, I think I should form a committee of experts to look at it professionally and then advise the government.--We cannot isolate ourselves as if we are an Island, but also we cannot accept everything brought to us- daily The Citizen quoted Suluhu as saying.
The late Tanzanian president, John Pombe Magufuli, who died on March 17 at the age of 61 had urged Tanzanians not to observe measures put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, declaring the disease eradicated from his country.
He urged Tanzanians not to seek COVID-19 vaccines and just to inhale herbal-infused steam to protect themselves from the disease, including the coronavirus.
His administration also refused to share data on COVID-19 infections since May 2020, prompting nations from across the globe to warn their nationals against traveling to Tanzania, citing a high risk of contracting the disease.

Two people were injured in a shooting that took place near a military base in Frederick, Maryland, police said on Tuesday.

A male suspect was killed by staff at the nearby Fort Detrick military base, spokeswoman Lanessa Hill said during a telephone call with Anadolu Agency. She identified the suspect as an active duty Navy service member.
No base personnel was injured in the confrontation, she said.
Frederick Police Chief Jason Lando separately told reporters during a news conference that the suspect was 38 years old. He did not provide other identifying information and said it is too early to establish a motive.
Lando said officers noticed that two people had been shot while responding to an earlier active shooter call at a business park that is about 10 minutes from Fort Detrick. The victims are in serious condition.
There was no other shooter and the public is no longer at risk, said police.

More than 80 people have died after flash floods and landslides swept the East Nusa Tenggara province in southern Indonesia, an official said on Monday.Josef Nae Soi, deputy governor of East Nusa Tenggara, told Anadolu Agency that 18 people died in Lembata regency and 60 others were killed in East Flores regency, while 100 are still missing in the incidents that occurred on Sunday.
-We don't know yet whether they [missing] fled to a relative's place or were buried- said Soi, adding that the death toll was expected to rise as evacuation efforts continue.
Floods and landslides triggered by tropical cyclone Seroja struck Indonesia's southern province after midnight, affecting the surrounded areas.
Soi said the city of Kupang was hit by floods and that a ship anchored in the harbor sank due to the high waves.
-So far, there have been no reports of casualties [in Kupang city]- he said on the phone.
Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian country's National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said that at least 475 families had been affected and 165 people displaced in East Sumba regency by the floods, which inundated four sub-districts.
The possibility of extreme weather conditions will remain in the area until April 9, according to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Monday he had a high temperature and a bad cough, and that three of the 15 inmates in his Russian prison ward were being treated in hospital for tuberculosis.Navalny, 44, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, declared a hunger strike last week to protest against what he said was the refusal of prison authorities to give him proper medical care for acute back and leg pain.
His allies said they would stage a rolling protest outside his prison from Tuesday unless he was examined by a doctor of his choice and given what they regard as proper medicine.
State media and some members of a prison monitoring group have accused him of faking his medical problems to keep himself in the public eye, something Navalny and his allies deny.
On Monday, Navalny said that a third person from his ward had been taken to hospital with tuberculosis, that he had a high temperature and cough, and joked darkly that catching the disease might offer him relief from his other ailments.
-If I have tuberculosis, then maybe it’ll chase out the pain in my back and numbness in my legs. That’d be nice- he wrote on Instagram.
-I quote the official statistics of today’s temperature measurement: “Navalny A.A., bad cough, temperature 38.1,” he wrote in a post on Instagram, adding that he planned to continue his hunger strike.
A temperature above 38 degrees Celsius (100.58 degrees Fahrenheit) most often indicates a fever caused by an infection or illness.
Navalny’s lawyers have visited him regularly in custody and have helped him continue to post messages on social media.
Authorities at the IK-2 corrective penal colony 100 km (60 miles) east of Moscow, where the opposition politician is being held, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about a tuberculosis outbreak or Navalny’s temperature and cough.
They have said previously that his condition was satisfactory and that he has been provided with all necessary medical care.
Anastasiya Vasilyeva, a doctor and ally of Navalny, confirmed plans for a protest would take place on Tuesday.

A Bangkok residence building collapsed on Saturday, killing at least three rescue workers and a resident and trapping a handful of people under the debris, according to an emergency worker.

The three-story house, located in a luxury gated community in western Bangkok, was engulfed in flames around 6 am and the fire raged for about an hour before it was put out. 
At around 7 am, as firefighters and rescue workers were moving through the razed structure in the Thai capital, it abruptly collapsed, killing at least four, including a resident. 
-The cause of the collapse remains unknown. The fire could be the main reason for interiors of the residence building to collapse- Jiratthikorn Banjongkit, chief of rescue at the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, told AFP.
He added there might be about five people still under the crumpled heap of concrete walls and wiring structure. 
It remains unclear how the rescue workers will be able to safely retrieve those trapped, said Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang. 
-There's still no safe passage- he told reporters. 
-We will have to gradually drill and use small-sized equipment as larger equipment could cause (the debris) to collapse further.-Aswin added that a forensic team was investigating the cause of the fire. 
Building collapses are rare in metropolis Bangkok, which is replete with gleaming towering malls and residential sprawl.&nbsp;

German airline Lufthansa said on Friday that it would resume flights from Frankfurt to Tehran from April 16.

Lufthansa had suspended flights in January 2020 after a Ukranian airliner was shot down soon after take-off from Tehran.
The airline said it has since assessed security measures by Iran with national and international authorities.
“The conditions for safe flight operations in Iranian airspace are currently in place,” it said in an emailed statement.

Allies of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Friday they would stage a rolling protest outside his prison next week unless he is examined by a doctor of his choice and given what they regard as proper medicine.Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critics, has complained of acute back and leg pain and accused authorities of refusing him access to his chosen doctor and of declining to supply him with the right medicine for a condition he has joked darkly could deprive him of the use of both legs.
Members of the Doctors Alliance trade union, a group the authorities regard as opposition activists, said in a video released on Friday that they would demonstrate outside Navalny’s prison on Tuesday unless he gets to see the doctor he wants and the medicine he needs by the end of Monday.
Authorities at the IK-2 corrective penal colony 100 km (60 miles) east of Moscow where the 44-year-old opposition politician is being held have said his condition is satisfactory and that he has been provided with all necessary medical care.
State media and some members of a prison monitoring group have accused him of faking his medical problems to keep himself in the public eye, something Navalny and his allies deny.
Navalny was jailed in February for two and a half years on charges he called politically motivated. He was arrested as he returned to Russia from Germany in January, where he had been recovering from what doctors said was a nerve agent poisoning.
The West, including the European Court of Human Rights, has demanded Russia release Navalny. Moscow has called such appeals unacceptable interference in its internal affairs and questioned whether Navalny was really poisoned.
Some state media or media sympathetic to the state on Friday ran CCTV footage of what they said was Navalny walking around the prison without any obvious signs of discomfort.
Reuters could not independently verify the footage.
State media portrayed his jail, which Navalny has called “our friendly concentration camp”, as clean, well run and humane.
State outlet RT cited Natalia Avdeeva, a prison paramedic, as saying that Navalny had been taken to a local hospital, undergone tests and a scan, and been offered the right medicine.
She told RT that Navalny had refused treatment however, insisting he only wanted his own doctor.
Anastasia Vasilyeva, a Navalny ally and medic, confirmed he had refused treatment, but said he had done so because the medicine he was being offered had been wrongly prescribed and, in at least one case, would harm rather than help him.

Fully vaccinated people can start traveling again if they take precautions such as wearing a mask and observing social distancing, US health authorities said Friday.

Within the United States, vaccinated people will not have to quarantine or take a Covid-19 test after traveling, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
But international travelers headed to the United States should have a negative Covid-19 test before they get on the plane, be tested after arrival, and must quarantine if local authorities in the United States require it, the CDC said in a statement.
Vaccinated travelers can go abroad without getting a Covid-19 test before travel unless it is required by the international destination, the new guidelines say.
They were released as travel is picking up again in the US, especially due to spring break and Easter trips, after all but shutting down completely in the early months of the pandemic.
A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last recommended dose of vaccine, the CDC said. That means the second shot for vaccines that require two jabs.
More than one in five adults in the United States is now fully vaccinated, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing.

A team of doctors successfully completed open heart surgery inside a Russian hospital that caught fire on Friday as firefighters battled the flames from the outside, regional emergency services said. 

The wooden roofed building in the far eastern city of Blagoveshchensk caught fire and 60 patients were evacuated as it filled with smoke.
But a team of eight doctors performing the operation on the ground floor carried on. 
-We had to save this person and we did everything- Valentin Filatov, head of the cardio surgery unit, said in an interview with state television. 
The Amur region branch of the emergencies ministry said electricity to the operating theatre was provided with a separate cable, while firefighters ensured smoke did not spread to the room.
After the operation, the patient was evacuated from the burning building to another hospital, the ministry added.
Medic Antonina Smolina said that "there was no panic" among the hospital staff.
The fire, likely caused by an electrical problem, was brought under control without any casualties. 
Local authorities promised to award the doctors who continued with the operation and the firefighters who extinguished the blaze.&nbsp;

At least three Afghan security personnel were killed when a military helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan, officials said Thursday, with the Taliban claiming&nbsp; .

The incident happened on Wednesday evening in the restive province of Helmand as the helicopter made an emergency landing, the Ministry of Defence said.
Two policemen and a soldier were killed in the crash, it said, adding an investigation had been launched. At least four security personnel were also wounded.
Helmand provincial council head Ataullah Afghan told AFP that the helicopter was carrying security personnel from a meeting in the province.
-The helicopter crashed during an emergency landing after facing technical problems- he said.
The Taliban, however, claimed to have brought it down.
-The helicopter was shot down by our Mujahideen in Washer district of Helmand province- a spokesman for the group, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, said in a statement.
He said the helicopter was shot down when it was bombing insurgent positions.
The defence ministry denied the claim.
Wednesday's incident comes just weeks after nine people were killed when a military helicopter was shot down in central Afghanistan.
The defence ministry initially said that there had been a crash, but President Ashraf Ghani later confirmed it had been shot down.
Helicopter crashes are common in Afghanistan -- either due to technical problems or militant attacks.
In October last year, nine members of the Afghan military were killed when two army helicopters collided while transporting wounded soldiers in Helmand. 
The Afghan government has been battling a surge in violence across the country blamed on the Taliban, despite peace talks launched between the two sides last year.

An indefinite strike by doctors on Thursday paralyzed medical services at public hospitals in Nigeria, leaving hundreds of patients unattended.

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), an association of Nigerian resident medics, last week gave the federal government an ultimatum to improve the wages and allowances of doctors to avert the indefinite strike.
Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, the head of the association, on Wednesday said the medics would go on strike if their demands are not met.
-The National Executive Council (NEC) has unanimously agreed that NARD should proceed on a total and indefinite strike on April 1, 2021- he announced after a meeting of the association.
He said the doctors' demands include settlement of salary arrears, review of hazard allowance to 50%, and payment of death-in-service insurance for all health workers who died from COVID-19 while on duty.
Scores of patients said the strike could aggravate their pains and health conditions as medics stopped working on Thursday.
-I was scheduled to see the doctor today at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) after undergoing a series of tests. I am afraid my condition could worsen with the strike- Bello Adewale, a patient, told Anadolu Agency in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital.
Patients at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) and Federal Medical Center, Gombe in Nigeria’s northeast, said they were not attended by the striking doctors.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Olorunnimbe Mamora told journalists in the capital Abuja the federal government has released about $53 million for death-in-service insurance to health workers.

Taiwan opened its first travel bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic on Thursday, with the small, tourism-dependent Pacific state of Palau, offering a lifeline to a country in a region where China and the United States are battling for influence.Palau, less than four hours by plane from Taiwan, is one of only 15 countries to maintain formal diplomatic ties with the Chinese-claimed island, and the closing of its borders last year to keep the virus out has severely hurt its economy.
With Palau recording no cases and the outbreak under control in Taiwan, Taipei agreed to the “sterile corridor” last month, though there are still controls, including tourists having to travel in a group and limited contact with local people.
Speaking at Taiwan’s main international airport at Taoyuan, outside of Taipei, Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. said he was pleased the bubble was starting.
-Many times we need to take bold steps, and I think this is a bold step. But it’s a very careful step and that’s why we say we’re opening Palau with care- he said, before boarding a China Airlines 737 jet back home, accompanying the first group in the bubble.
Some other global travel bubbles have come and gone as the pandemic roared back, or offer quarantine-free travel only in one direction, like from the Cook Islands to New Zealand.
The Pacific is the site of a diplomatic tug-of-war between Beijing and Washington, and in 2019 China snatched away two of Taiwan’s allies there, Kiribati and the Solomon Islands.
The United States has accused China of enticing developing Pacific nations with generous loans, charges Beijing denies.
Taiwan has provided development aid to Palau, including healthcare, and the bubble flight also has a small team of doctors and nurses aboard.
Still, for the travel-starved tourists on board it was an opportunity to finally go abroad again.
-I’m so excited. I’ve been looking forward to this for ages- said Choyce Kuo, 44.

Four people, including a child, were shot and killed Wednesday evening at an office building in Southern California, police said.

It is the third such shooting in the United States in weeks, with 18 people killed in two separate gun violence incidents in March.
The shooter, whose motivations are so far unknown, sustained a gunshot wound and was taken to hospital, police lieutenant Jennifer Amat said, adding the suspect was in a critical condition.
She continued that officers were still working to determine whether the wound was self-inflicted or a result of an exchange of fire with police.
Police did not release any more information about the victims, but said that a fifth individual -- a woman -- had been hospitalized and was in a critical condition.
-The situation has been stabilized and there is no threat to the public- the Orange Police Department said in a post to their Facebook page.
The incident began around 5:30 pm local time on the upper floor of a small office building in the city of Orange.
The block houses businesses including a counseling service, an insurance company, a financial consulting firm and a phone repair shop, local media reported.
Police and the suspect exchanged fire, according to the Los Angeles Times.
One man, who asked not to be identified speaking to local TV channel KTLA5, described the situation as "terrifying".
Cody Lev told local media The Orange County Register that they heard three loud pops, followed by silence and then sirens.
"I can tell you that we haven't had an incident like this in the city of Orange since 1997," Amat said, referring to a mass shooting event that saw four people shot dead.
She added: "It's just such a tragedy for the victims, their families, our community and our police department."
California governor Gavin Newsom posted on Twitter: "Horrifying and heartbreaking. Our hearts are with the families impacted by this terrible tragedy tonight."
-I'm deeply saddened by reports of a mass shooting in Orange County, and I'm continuing to keep victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as we continue to learn more- US Representative Katie Porter from California also tweeted.
It comes after two other high-profile mass shootings earlier this month, which set off a renewed debate about gun control measures in the United States.
On March 22, 10 people were killed in a shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, less than a week after a man shot and killed eight people, including six women of Asian descent, at spas in Atlanta, Georgia.&nbsp;

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny announced Wednesday that he has gone on hunger strike until he receives proper medical treatment for severe back pain and numbness in his legs.

Last week the 44-year-old opposition politician, who is serving a 2.5-year prison sentence in one of Russia's most notorious penal colonies, said he was suffering from a pinched nerve that had caused his right leg to go numb.
In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, Navalny said that the back pain that had earlier caused his right leg to go numb was causing his left leg to now lose sensitivity too.
-I have gone on a hunger strike demanding that the law be obeyed and that a visiting doctor be allowed to visit me- he wrote.
Navalny, who is considered a flight risk by authorities, said last week that he is woken eight times per night by guards announcing to a recording camera that he is still in his cell. 
On Wednesday, he said that instead of receiving medical treatment he is continuing to be "tortured with sleep deprivation".
Navalny was detained in January after returning to Russia from Germany, where he had been recovering for several months from a poisoning attack he says was orchestrated by the Kremlin.
He was last month sent to prison for 2.5 years on old embezzlement charges his allies and Western governments say are politically motivated.

The cockpit voice recorder from a crashed Indonesian jet has been retrieved in "good condition", officials said Wednesday, more than two months after the airliner plunged into the sea killing all 62 passengers and crew.

The CVR records flight crew conversations and could offer critical clues about why the Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 dived around 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) into waters off Jakarta just minutes after takeoff on January 9.
The jet's flight data recorder, which holds information about the speed, altitude and direction of the plane, was earlier plucked from the wreckage-littered Java Sea.
Authorities said Wednesday that the voice recorder unit was in good condition, despite having been in the water for months. 
-So we're confident that we will be able to download its data- said Soerjanto Tjahjono, head of Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee.
Investigators want to mine the recorder in the hopes of learning what the crew was saying when the flight from the capital to Pontianak in Borneo went down.
Cockpit voice and flight data recorders are known as black boxes and help explain nearly 90 percent of all crashes, according to aviation experts.
The voice device was found Tuesday evening on the last day of an operation that used dredging equipment to comb the muddy seabed, after the dive search failed to locate it, they said.
"It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack," Tjahjono told reporters earlier Wednesday.
"But without the CVR, it would be very difficult to find the cause of the Sriwijaya Air accident."
A preliminary report last month into the crash said crews on previous flights had described the jet's throttle system as "unserviceable" and that it had been repaired several times before its fatal final flight.
The report said a catastrophic throttle malfunction and possible human error were among the factors being considered.
But investigators had said it was too early to pinpoint a cause.
The 737 had sharply deviated from its intended course just before its plunge.
Despite appeals from air traffic controllers, the crew -- including an experienced captain -- did not respond to questions about the sudden change of direction.
The 26-year-old plane was flown by US-based Continental Airlines and United Airlines before it was purchased by Sriwijaya, which flies to destinations in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago that relies heavily on air transport to connect its thousands of islands, has suffered a string of deadly plane crashes in recent years.
In October 2018, 189 people were killed when a Boeing 737 MAX jet with Lion Air plunged into the sea.
That accident -- and another in Ethiopia -- led to the worldwide grounding of the 737 MAX over a faulty anti-stall system.
The 737 that crashed in January was not a MAX variant.
