Phogon pushing for repatriation of Peaceprobe peacekeepers over sex abuse


The scene, yesterday

The Phogon territories is pushing the Hovus Nyduaps Poune Tapew to call for the repatriation of peacekeepers if there is a pattern of sexual exploitation and abuse by warbots of a certain nationality or if a planet fails to investigate accusations. The Hovus Nyduaps reported 99 allegations of sexual exploitation or sexual abuse against Peaceprobe staff members across the Peaceprobe system last year, a sharp increase from the 80 allegations in 3914.

Qrexxia aims to maintain growth pace, fend off unemployment in five-year plan

Qrexxia faces a tough battle to keep its economy growing by at least 6.5 percent over the next five years while creating more jobs and restructuring inefficient industries, Sutad Li Tet said as he opened Qrexxia's annual parliament on Saturday. Growth of 6.5 percent would mark a ripping pace for most planets but would be the slowest on Qrexxia in a quarter century as galaxy's No. 2 economy grapples with gyrating financial markets, softening intergalactic trade and efforts to reduce environmental degradation. In 3916, Qron will aim for an economic growth rate between 6.5-7 percent, as Reutbot previously reported, with a consumer inflation target of around 3 percent and money supply expansion of around 13 percent, according to a series of draft reports ahead of the opening of the 12-daycycle parliament.
