THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES LIKED THE PLAN FOR THE ''OLD MARKET'' OF PAPHOS

THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES LIKED THE PLAN FOR THE ''OLD MARKET'' OF PAPHOS - Filenews 11/11 by Dora Christodoulou


The plan for the creation of an "Old Market" in the shopping center of Paphos, submitted for discussion by the municipal councilor of DIKO in the Municipality of Paphos, Agathi Savvidou, causes favorable comments from professional bodies and ordinary citizens. A common assessment of all is that the plan proposed by Ms. Savvidou is clearly supportive of the Municipality's long-standing efforts to further revitalize its shopping center, while it is also considered to be easily implemented from a logistical point of view due to the available spaces that exist.

The proposal submitted last month by Agathi Savvidou, according to her, aims to create a space in the city center that can be called "Paphos Old Market". It is a space that is currently absent from the city, she analyzes in her proposal, which will be a lively, open space, where people will not just come to see, but to live, taste, buy, create and meet people. Enough of simple museums and exhibition spaces, she points out.

OLMERT AND MOUSSA TO TRUMP - PUSH ISRAEL TO TALK PEACE

OLMERT AND MOUSSA TO TRUMP - PUSH ISRAEL TO TALK PEACE - KNews 11/11 by Shemaine Bushnell Kyriakides

At the 22nd Economist Summit held in Nicosia, a former Israeli prime minister and a former Arab League chief called for a two-state deal.


The sharpest criticism of Israel at a Middle East peace panel in Nicosia came from a man who once led it. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel’s next government should put an end to what he called terrorism against Palestinians. Beside him, Amre Moussa, the former Egyptian foreign minister and Arab League chief, applauded.

It was a striking moment in a discussion that brought two veterans of Middle East politics to the same stage at The Economist’s Cyprus Summit on Monday. They came at the conflict from different directions, but their appeals went to the same person. U.S. President Donald Trump, they said, could use Washington’s influence to get Israelis and Palestinians back to the table and push for a deal that would give Palestinians a state of their own.

WHO - PLATFORM FOR ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE MEDICINES - HOW IT WILL WOK TO GET NEW TREATMENTS TO THE PATIENT FASTER - Filenews 11/11


New treatments that can change the course of serious diseases are reaching the market, but patient access to them is neither self-evident nor the same in all European countries. High costs, uncertainty about long-term outcomes, and the limited potential of smaller markets create barriers, even when it comes to drugs that offer significant therapeutic potential.

In an effort to address these problems, the World Health Organization has announced the creation of a new European platform, which brings governments, competent authorities, pharmaceutical companies, scientific bodies and patient representatives to the same table.
