Saudi Arabia bans some French poultry imports on bird flu fears

-

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has issued a decision that temporarily bans the import of poultry meat, table eggs and their products from Landes, Pyrenees-Atlantiques and Gers in France due to the spread of bird flu in these areas.

The authority said that the ban was made after following up on the report issued by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) regarding registering new cases of spread of severe bird flu in these three areas.

The authority’s ban decision excluded poultry meat and table eggs that go through thermal processing, which is enough to ensure eliminating the bird flu virus, provided that these products match accredited health conditions, constraints and standards with enclosing a health certificate issued by accredited relevant authorities in France proving that these products are free from the virus.

The panel also claims evidence submitted to it shows “he has not been able to contest his detention before an independent and impartial judge, has no access to a lawyer to discuss his situation and his case has not been reviewed to determine whether it is appropriate to continue his detention”. He has not been allowed to see either his fa

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said his countrymen ‘are not afraid’ after Russia moved to recognise the independence of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and hours later said it would deploy troops there to “maintain peace”. An urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council took place on the deepening Ukraine crisis as the US said the announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin was an “unprovoked violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”. Western countries have repeatedly warned Russia not to officially recognise the separatist regions in Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia has been massing its forces around Ukraine’s borders for weeks, raising concern among the US and other Western governments that it might be planning to invade the country. Moscow has insisted it has no plans to do so.

Here is a portion of their conversation: Trump: They’re also poor. Iran is poor. Hamas is poor. They’re all poor. And they weren’t poor three years ago. They were blowing everything up. They’re very poor. Do you think Sleepy Joe could have made this deal, Bibi? Sleepy Joe. I think — do think he would had made this deal? Somehow, I don’t think so. Netanyahu: Well, Mr. President, one thing I can tell you is we appreciate the help for peace from anyone in America. And we appreciate what you’ve done enormously. Trump: Yeah. Netanyahu: We appreciate very much what you’ve done. Trump: Yeah. Even Netanyahu being Trump's best friend is not sure weather he will remain in the White House or not. Poor Trump...! Vote Smart Election Day is close.
