DUBAI (REUTERS) - An offensive by Yemen's Houthi group to take Marib city, the last stronghold of the internationally recognised government, threatens to displace hundreds of thousands and complicate a renewed diplomatic push to end the war, UN officials say. The gas-rich region of Marib has been a refuge for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence during Yemen's six-year-old war, expanding its main city rapidly. A frontline is now roughly 30km away to the city's west, a government official told Reuters, and humanitarian concerns are growing. "An assault on the city would put two million civilians at risk, with hundreds of thousands potentially forced to flee - with unimaginable humanitarian consequences," UN aid chief Mark Lowcock said on Tuesday (Feb 16), urging de-escalation. The recent push towards Marib by Houthi forces, who control Yemen's most populous areas, comes alongside intensified drone attacks into Saudi Arabia by the Iran-aligned group. Riyadh leads a ... » Learn More about Houthi offensive on Yemen’s Marib threatens mass displacement, UN warns

Mr Teerawut says Brother no longer focuses exclusively on sales, adding a subscription service for on-demand printing. Brother Commercial Thailand, the local unit of the Japanese printing tech firm, has set a fiscal 2021 growth target of 8% because of rising demand for single-function and medium-sized printers, as well as expansion to a subscription model. "We have seen a rapid change in the behaviour of consumer and corporate customers during the pandemic," said Teerawut Supapunpinyo, managing director of Brother Commercial Thailand. "Consumers are spending more time at home, so they demand entertainment as they observe social distancing measures." For fiscal 2020, which closes at the end of this month, Brother expects to see revenue growth of less than 1%, or about 12 million baht more than its revenue for fiscal 2019. The company's GTX garment printer and BMB karaoke system saw sales growth of 30%, he said. Demand for face masks also pushed up sales of the firm's sewing ... » Learn More about Brother sees 8% growth for fiscal 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a timely demonstration of the extent to which digital technology could become fully entrenched in a city, as a means to support public health precautions and maintain effective infection control. Sensor connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) have been used to facilitate the screening for and tracking of infections while also enabling the delivery of contactless services in the new normal of people’s daily lives. Thailand has successfully implemented a smart tracking system called “Thai Chana”, which allows residents to check in and out when visiting public spaces. By tracking people’s visits to public places, the system is able to recommend a test and/or quarantine via a notification to users who visited that specific place, at the same time as a person who was later found to be infected. As the latest ICT technologies and next-generation data platforms become realities, Thailand and its fellow ASEAN members remain committed to enhancing ... » Learn More about SMART CITY: THE WORLD OF OUR MAKING
