DHAKA Scarpe Adidas Superstar Slip On Trainer Bianche Scontate , Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Eight bodies had been recovered after a boat with scores of Rohingya people aboard capsized in the Bay of Bengal close to Bangladesh's southeastern border with Myanmar, a local police official said on Monday.
Md Ashrafuzzaman, a local police official, told Xinhua that "bodies of four children and four women were recovered this morning," adding that some 40 others people were missing in the incident.
He could not tell exactly when the boat capsized but guessed that it may capsize sometime early Monday.
The official said Border Guard, Navy and Coast Guard have rushed there to recover the bodies which were floating in the Bay of Bengal near Shah Porir Island in Teknaf sub-district of the Cox's Bazaar district Scarpe Adidas Superstar 2 Print Nere Bianche Rose Scontate , some 292 km southeast of Dhaka.
"We have come to know that some 40 Rohingyas still remained missing after the boat packed with some 70 Rohingyas capsized in the bay of Bengal," Islam said.
Quoting several survivors he said some 20 passengers of the sunken boat managed to swim ashore after it capsized.
Last week, at least 28 bodies were recovered after a boat with Rohingyas on board capsized at the mouth of the Naf river that divides Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Bodies of 132 Rohingyas and a Bangladeshi boat man were recovered from the Naf River in at least 25 boat incidents since Aug. 29.
Over half a million Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar's Rakhine state amid a fresh wave of violence in the region since Aug. 25.

WASHINGTON, April 29 (Xinhua) -- In his first 100 days, U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked a shift to a pro-business White House, although experts say the pace of key economic reforms is lagging.
In his first 100 days since taking office on Jan. 20 Scarpe Donne Adidas Superstar Fiori di Loto Bianche Scontate , the businessman-turned politician has held an abundance of meetings with key business leaders from the tech sector to automakers to other major industries.
His message has been clear: This White House strongly believes in business.
"(Trump) has had one significant accomplishment on the economic front -- after eight years of an adversarial relationship between Washington and business, there's a vastly different climate," Gregory R. Valliere, chief strategist at Horizon Investments, told Xinhua.
"He is unabashedly pro-business, and I think the Goldman Sachs faction in the White House -- which is clearly ascendant -- has made a difference Donne Adidas Superstar Supercolor Pack Chiaro Blu Scontate ," Valliere said, referring to a number of Trump administration officials who have come from the major global investment bank.
"So the psychology in Washington for business is better, a plus," he said.
In the first 30 days of Trump's presidency, the U.S. stock market experienced a surge not seen in the first 30 days of a president since 1945.
U.S. small-business owners are also the most optimistic they have been since July 2007, according to the Wells Fargo Gallup Small Business Index Donne Adidas Superstar Supercolor Pack Chiaro Rosa Scontate , published last month.
The National Federation of Independent Business also found that small businesses are generally optimistic, while businesses are optimistic about the Trump administration. The group itself is generally happy about the president's first 100 days in office.
However, "there's a maddening lack of detail on economic policy," Valliere said, citing Trump's tax plan, which he rolled out earlier this week. The plan has been blasted for lack of specifics.
"And he clearly does not care much about the deficit Scarpe Adidas Superstar Foundation Core Nere B25961 Scontate , which eventually will concern the bond market," he said.
KEY REFORMS LAGGING
While many economists and business leaders expressed optimism over Trump's business-friendly philosophy, some criticize the New York tycoon over what they call the slow pace of reforms.
"President Trump's performance on the economic front in his first 100 days has been disappointing and I would give him a 'C' at best. While he might have boosted market confidence, he has achieved very little in the way of economic reform," Desmond Lachman, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Scarpe Adidas Superstar Foundation Nere Bianche Scontate , told Xinhua.
"The main thing that he did wrong was to prioritize health care reform rather than fundamental tax reform," Lachman said.
U.S. corporate tax is among the world's highest -- creating a drag on the economy, some argue -- and many Americans complain they pay too much in federal, state and local taxes.
"He failed to repeal Obamacare (Barack Obama's healthcare re-vamp), which has weakened his political position to get meaningful tax reform done in 2017," Lachman said.
Trump has also failed to fill many of the political appointments in his administration Scarpe Donne Adidas Superstar 80s Core Nere Scontate , which might be needed to get real reform done, and his "America First" policies might provoke retaliation from U.S. trade partners and increase the global trend towards protectionism, he said.
Still, Lachman said an important thing that Trump has done right was to back off from his campaign pledge to name China as a currency manipulator and to impose tariffs on that country.
Trump spent much of his presidential campaign railing against the North America Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, and has vowed to pull out of the agreement Scarpe Adidas Superstar 80s Metal Toe Oro Foil Scontate , although his cabinet is deeply divided on the issue.
Experts said NAFTA, which Trump has repeatedly called a "bad deal," has been terrible for U.S. and Mexican workers. But at the same time, the agreement has intertwined supply chains to the point that withdrawal could create a huge mess.
Trump's first 100 days also saw him threaten to hit auto makers with heavy import taxes on cars built abroad, and has blasted U.S. car giant General Motors for assembling some of its vehicles in Mexico.
But some experts said a better strategy would be to offer tax incentives, rather than punishing companies.
"It was very disruptive because he has been busy backing away from many of. |
