Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.

The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)

This document is part of a series of Comparative Law studies that analyze the principle of environmental protection in different legal orders around the world. After a brief historic introduction and a presentation of applicable legislation and case law, the content, limits and possible evolution of this principle are examined. The subject of this study is Canada’s federal legal system. While a “principle of environmental protection” does not appear in the text of Canada’s constitutional documents, a large number of laws at the federal, provincial and territorial levels have as their purpose the protection of the environment, and the importance of this objective has been judicially recognized. The legal framework of environmental protection has been shaped by the constraints that federalism imposes on each level of government — especially on the federal Parliament; these constraints influence both the form and the content of environmental legislation.

Please take it seriously, but think about the best way to make things better’.”SM Lee said government services will improve when Singapore has a more involved and engaged population who would feel that “if they think something can be better, they can do something about it”.“The most Singaporean thing about you SM,” quipped the forum’s moderator, NUS Associate Professor Leong Ching, “is that you complain to the different agencies.”
