Clashes in Bahrain, king warns against disunity

MANAMA: Bahraini riot police waged pitched battles with petrol-bomb throwing youths on Sunday as violence escalated before the February 14 anniversary of an uprising last year, while King Hamad suggested protesters calling for his overthrow was a “problem for national unity.”

Teenagers blocked off streets in the village of Sanabis, taunting police as “cowards” and “mercenaries” because some are thought to be Pakistani or Yemeni. A policeman shouted to people to get indoors. “This gathering is illegal,” he said.

One teenager lobbed four petrol bombs some 30 meters towards a group of police, who responded with a volley of sound grenades and tear gas. Shops were mostly locked up in the district, which was riddled with blocked roads and anti-government graffiti.

Bahrainis, mostly from the Shi’ite Muslim majority, initially took to the streets last February, inspired by uprisings in other Arab states, but the government imposed martial law and stamped out the unrest the following month with the help of Saudi troops.

Demonstrations began again after the emergency law was lifted in June and are escalating before the anniversary of the 2011 protests.

Bahrain is an ally of the United States and home base to the U.S. Navy’s vast Fifth Fleet, which patrols the Gulf. It is ruled by a Sunni Muslim royal family, but most of its people are Shi’ites, placing it on the fault line of regional influence between Sunni power Saudi Arabia and Shi’ite Iran.

The ruling Al Khalifa family accuses Iran of fomenting the uprising. Tehran denies playing a role, and Bahrain’s Shi’ite groups deny they receive support from abroad.

In an interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine, the king accused his opponents of chanting in support of Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of Iran’s 1979 revolution.

“It’s just a case of manners. But when they shout ‘Down with the king and up with Khomeini’ that’s a problem for national unity,” the magazine quoted Hamad as saying in extracts of the interview, the rest of which would be published on Monday.

The refrain “Down with Hamad,” sounded by trumpets and car horns and chanted at rallies, has become a rallying call of opposition protests. Reuters journalists have not witnessed the opposition chanting in support of Khomeini.

“In a sense there is no ‘opposition’ in Bahrain, as the phrase implies one unified bloc with the same views,” Hamad said in the extracts. “Such a phrase is not in our constitution, unlike say the United Kingdom. We only have people with different views, and that’s okay.” AGENCIES

PM contempt case: Altaf urges govt to respect verdict

TrendPK.com

LONDON:  Expressing solidarity with Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, MQM chief Altaf Hussain on Monday urged the government to show patience and honor the ruling.

His remarks came a few hours after Supreme Court charged Prime Minister Gilani with contempt for defying its order to reopen graft cases against President Zardari.

“The government should avoid taking steps that may reflect an emotional reaction,” he said.

“I am sad at the indictment of Prime Minister Gilani,” he said.

Pakistan, he said, cannot afford a standoff and confrontation among state institutions.

Sharon Stone Kisses Kathy Griffin at 2012 AARP Movies for Grownups Awards

By Beck/Smith

TrendPK.com: This week’s 2012 AARP Movies for Grownups Awards brought out many of Hollywood’s brightest luminaries — including Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Martin Scorsese, Kenneth Branagh, Janet McTeer, Alexander Payne and still hot Sharon Stone — adding to the elegant event’s distinction as an Awards Season Must. As the New York Times put it, it seems that “the Movies for Grownups had finally, well, grown up.”

We applaud AARP’s persistent efforts toward breaking through the wall of ageism. Making those efforts in the ageism capital of the world — Hollywood — is particularly noteworthy. Here, ageism is not only accepted, it’s not only embraced, it is clung to with a ferocity that speaks of barely-hidden terror. (Think Demi Moore.) However, with the graying of the Baby Boom generation and other factors making moviegoers of age 50 and up increasingly important to box office revenue, more filmmakers and stars will be reaching out to the mature crowd. Next, we’d like to see Movies for Grownups on television.

Speaking of the TV side, the standard ratings classifications are archaic statistically — like using a mortar and pestle when you have a Cuisinart, with today’s technology offering far more sophisticated and meaningful data crunching capabilities. (David Poltrack, Chief Research Officer of CBS Corp. has long been trying to educate people about this.) And yet, we continue to see the phrase “the coveted 18-49 demographic” over and over and over again. (Lazy TV writers really should come up with at least one or two different adjectives besides “coveted.”) Networks and media continue to quote only the ratings for viewers under age 50. Yet the 55-plus audience reportedly reached 33 per cent of the adult population last year. In 2015, it’s expected to reach 36 per cent. That’s a heck of a lot of ignoring.
