UK to fund English language classes for Muslim women January 18, 2016 - 14:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Britain will fund English language classes for Muslim women migrants in hopes that building community cohesion will help fight extremism, the Associated Press. Prime Minister David Cameron says the 20 million pound ($28.5 million) fund will help tens of thousands of women facing social isolation and discrimination. Writing Monday, Jan 18, in the Times, Cameron says it is time to end the "passive tolerance" of discriminatory practices and says that language skills will be taken into account on visa applications. Cameron says Britain will never truly build one nation "unless we are more assertive about our liberal values, more clear about the expectations we place on those who come to live here and ... generous in the work we do to break down barriers." Some 190,000 Muslim women in England speak little or no English.  Top stories Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. In 2023, the Azerbaijani government will increase the country’s defense budget by more than 1.1 billion manats ($650 million). The bill, published on Monday, is designed to "eliminate the shortcomings of an unreasonably broad interpretation of the key concept of "compatriot". The earthquake caused a temporary blackout, damaged many buildings and closed a number of rural roads.
