Israel says it will keep hitting Iran, as Tehran says it’s staying in Syria-Senior diplomatic source says Netanyahu regards pushing Islamic Republic forces out of neighboring country as important as canceling nuclear deal-By TOI staff-AUG 29,18
Israel’s military will continue to target Iranian weapons and troops in Syria, a senior diplomatic source said Tuesday, as Iran signaled it would resist attempts to push its forces out of the country.The army will continue to act with “full determination” against Iranian attempts to get troops and weaponry onto Syrian ground, the source told several Hebrew-language media outlets.The diplomat added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regards preventing Iranian troops from gaining a foothold in Syria as no less important than getting the Iran nuclear deal canceled.Russia, seen as the key to getting Iran to leave Syria as the civil war there draws to a close, has said it cannot force the Islamic Republic to retreat, and analysts say the goal is all but impossible.However, the Israeli source noted that the Iran nuclear deal was also seen as impossible to fight, but is now teetering thanks to the US withdrawal from the deal. The diplomat indicated Jerusalem would continue to lobby Russia and the US to put pressure on Iran, and said the reimposition of US sanctions on Tehran was “taking its toll.”The US has said getting Iran to end its military adventurism in Syria and elsewhere is one of the goals of increased financial pressure on Tehran.On Monday, though, Iran and Syria signed an agreement on military cooperation and reconstruction in the war-torn country, with Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Hatami vowing to take an active role in the reconstruction of the country’s decimated forces.The “defense and technical agreement” provides for the continued “presence and participation” of Iran in Syria, Hatami said.In an interview Monday night with the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen television channel, Hatami said the agreement included the rehabilitation of Syria’s defense industry and assured Iran would provide “good service.”“With this accord, we have paved the way for a reconstruction of the Syrian military industries,” he said, continuing, “Based on what I know about the Iranian capability, I think that Netanyahu’s threats to attack are far from reality.”“The most important element of the deal is the rebuilding of the Syrian armed forces and defense industries so that they can regain their full capacity.”Tehran has provided steady political, financial, and military backing to Assad as he has fought back a seven-year uprising.
Greek anarchists protest deepening Israel ties, US embassy move-Rubicon group members sneak into foreign ministry compound in Athens, leaving Palestinian flag, photos of slain Gazans to protest defense, energy cooperation with Jerusalem-By AP and TOI staff-AUG 29,18
A Greek anarchist group staged a protest Tuesday at Foreign Ministry building in central Athens to oppose Greek-Israeli energy and military cooperation as well as the decision by the United States to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.In the videotaped protest posted online, two members of the Greek anarchist group Rubicon climbed into the ministry compound and left a bag near the entrance.The group said it contained a Palestinian flag and photographs of Palestinian protesters shot dead by Israeli forces during demonstrations that coincided with the US Embassy move in May.No arrests were reported.Greece has improved ties with Israel in recent years, and the two countries hold regular military exercises in the region, often joined by US forces.The latest joint drill came in June, when warplanes from both countries simulated a war on multiple fronts, including a significant bombing campaign against targets in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said 40 of its fighter jets, refueling planes and transport planes traveled to Greece for the exercise.The drill came amid peak tensions in the Gaza border area, following multiple exchanges of mortar and rocket fire and violence along the security fence.Over the past four months the “March of Return” protests have led to deadly clashes that saw Israeli security forces facing Palestinian gunfire, grenades, Molotov cocktails, and efforts — sometimes successful — to damage or cross the Gaza border fence.In addition, balloons and kites launched from Gaza bearing incendiary devices have caused hundreds of fires in southern Israel that have burned thousands of acres of land.At least 160 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the weekly protests began, the Hamas-run health ministry says. Hamas, a terror group that seized control of Gaza in 2007 and seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged that dozens of those killed were its members.The demonstrations peaked on May 14, the day the US moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with 40,000 Palestinians taking part in the protests and clashes with Israeli soldiers along the border. Some 63 Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops that day. Hamas later acknowledged that 50 of them were their members.Last year, members of Rubicon vandalized the Israeli embassy in Athens to protest Israeli government policies toward Palestinians.
Over my dead body,’ Abbas reportedly says amid Gaza ceasefire talk-PA said to lash out against Egypt and 'treasonous' Hamas over potential deal; terror group ruling Strip reacts by slamming PA for cooperation with Israel-By Michael Bachner and TOI staff-AUG 29,18
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly lambasted a potential ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, saying such a deal would only be reached “over my dead body” and drawing a scathing response from Hamas.“If the agreement is signed without the PA’s permission, it is illegal and constitutes treason,” Abbas said in private conversations, Channel 10 reported on Tuesday citing a senior member of Abbas’s Fatah party.“Over my dead body will there be a ceasefire and calm between both sides,” Abbas said, according to the source.Regarding intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks, which have stalled recently, the Fatah member was quoted as saying disagreements between the factions were mounting and that such a deal “never looked more distant.”Abbas was also said to be furious at Egypt, which has been brokering Israel-Hamas truce talks, for being willing to sit down with members of the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip without his presence.“The Egyptians aren’t reading the map correctly and are harming the Palestinian national interests,” the Fatah official said. “Talks with Hamas, which took control of Gaza by force and without the consent of the Palestinian Authority, are unacceptable and are an act of defiance against Palestinian leadership.”Abbas’s Fatah party and Hamas have been deeply divided for more than a decade. Hamas, an Islamist terror group which openly seeks to destroy Israel, seized control of Gaza from the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority in 2007 and several attempts at reconciliation since then have failed.The PA government has been putting pressure on Hamas to reach a reconciliation deal that would return Fatah rule to Gaza, and earlier this year began to scale back electricity payments and other financial support in an effort to force Hamas to cede ground in Gaza.Abbas is demanding that Hamas hand over complete control of Gaza to the PA, and that the switch be conducted in a single stroke rather than in stages.He has warned against a reported deal taking shape between Israel and Hamas for a long-term ceasefire in Gaza if it does not include the PA.Hamas responded to the criticism with a rare statement slamming the PA and saying that there is a “national consensus” among the Palestinian people in favor of a long-term Gaza ceasefire with Israel.The terror group was referring specifically to a deal that would lift the blockade of Gaza, which would ostensibly require some sort of agreement with Israel.“We aren’t moving toward a political agreement or a part of an international deal that gives up our lands, recognizes the occupier or destroys the national project, as you did,” Hamas said, addressing the PA. “We didn’t recognize the Zionist entity and sanctify the security coordination, as you did at the expense of our people.”Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif al-Qanua dismissed the PA criticism as “worthless” and added they were “not fooling anybody — the people still supports the resistance and we will keep our hand on the trigger to defend the Palestinian people from the Zionist occupation.”The statement called on the PA and Fatah to withdraw its recognition of Israel, stop the security coordination with it and lift the sanctions it has imposed on Gaza.Last week Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh claimed an end to Israel’s more than decade-long blockade of Gaza was “around the corner.”Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel have reportedly included discussion on easing the blockade, but by no means a complete lifting of it. Israel says the blockade is in place in order to prevent weapons and other military equipment from entering the Strip.Recent months have seen repeated rounds of intense violence between Israel and Hamas, along with weekly border protests at the Gaza border that have regularly included rioting, attacks on Israeli troops and attempts to infiltrate and sabotage the border fence.Around 170 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the weekly protests began, a Hamas ministry says. Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of those killed were its members.One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper.In addition to the border clashes, southern Israel has experienced hundreds of fires as a result of incendiary kites and balloons flown over the border from Gaza. Over 7,000 acres of land have been burned, causing millions of shekels in damages, according to Israeli officials.AFP contributed to this report.
As US buries era of evenhandedness, will shift bring Palestinians to the table? US analysts are divided on whether cutting aid to the PA and rejecting UNRWA's definition of refugees is the right move, or whether it will further alienate Palestinians-By Ron Kampeas-TOI-AUG 29,18
WASHINGTON, United States (JTA) — US President Donald Trump wants to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, but he and his top officials appear to be determined to first reframe the parameters of the conflict.What’s unclear is if the radical changes in policy, spearheaded by Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, will bring Palestinians back to the peace table, or cripple any prospects for peace.Since Trump assumed office he has jettisoned a number of orthodoxies that for years defined US administration policy, whether Democratic or Republican: He retreated from the two-state solution, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he slashed funding to the Palestinians and he has trained rhetorical fire on the Palestinian Authority.Now his administration looks set to embrace a much narrower definition of Palestinian refugee than the one accepted by the UN agency that delivers aid to the Palestinians, UNRWA.Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, told Reuters last week that UNRWA and its definitions were in the Trump administration’s sights.“UNRWA is a failed mechanism. It violates standard international law on the status of refugees,” Bolton said. “UNRWA’s program is the only one in history based on the assumption that refugee status is hereditary, and I think it is long overdue that we have taken steps to reduce funding.”Bolton said UNRWA’s perpetuation of refugee status was a mistake.“Much of UNRWA’s expenses really go to perpetuating the refugee status of the Palestinian people, and I think that’s a mistake,” he said. “I think it’s a mistake from a humanitarian point of view … a perpetuation of an unnatural status.”UNRWA defines Palestinian refugees as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period between June 1 1946 and May 15 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.” It also extends that definition to all descendants of those people. It serves some 5 million people in 58 recognized Palestinian refugee camps.Bolton was saying on the record what Kushner wrote in an internal White House email in January, when he said UNRWA “perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn’t help peace” and said it was necessary to “strategically risk breaking things” to get to a better outcome.It was just the latest challenge to a long-held status quo: Last week, the Trump administration said it would cut $200 million from the $400 million or so it is congressionally mandated to deliver to the Palestinians (a more recent law passed by the US Congress allows this). The Trump administration has so far delivered only $60 million this year to UNRWA, which assists refugees not only in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip but in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Last year it delivered $368 million to the body, by far the most generous donor.Last December, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and in May moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That act drove Palestinians away from Kushner’s efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian talks.Jonathan Schanzer, a vice president of the hawkish Foundation for Defense of Democracies who has for years tracked US policies on the Palestinians, said that the Kushner team appeared to be strategically reformulating the power dynamic in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Previous administrations had effectively recognized the sides as equals, which Schanzer said fed Palestinian recalcitrance, contributing to the deadlock that has characterized the talks for decades.“The Palestinians are often granted more power than they actually have; the Israelis are asked to relinquish power and it’s ended in disaster,” Schanzer said. “This is an attempt to shift the dynamic to give the Israelis more power and the Palestinians less in a way that affects the actual dynamic.”Kushner is often the point man driving the changes. He derided Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in an on-the-record interview with a Palestinian newspaper, Al Quds, that was published in Arabic.“I don’t think the Palestinian people feel like their lives are getting better, and there is only so long you can blame that on everyone other than Palestinian leadership,” Kushner said in the June interview. “I do question how much President Abbas has the ability to, or is willing to, lean into finishing a deal. He has his talking points, which have not changed in the last 25 years.”Previous administrations have avoided blaming either side for the failure to make a deal (while at times criticizing individual acts, of settlement by the Israelis or incitement by the Palestinians, as unhelpful).Israeli leaders have welcomed some of the changes — particularly the Jerusalem move — but have mostly been silent at the cuts in funding to UNRWA. In an op-ed for Haaretz, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a former longtime Israel Defense Forces spokesman, explained that while Israelis are frustrated with the Palestinians, sudden changes could portend chaos, including the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, which helps to maintain quiet in the West Bank.“When the Palestinian Authority collapses, who is likely to pick up the pieces? Israel?” Lerner wrote. “Israel has no interest in the international, financial or security burden of re-enforcing a civil-military administration over Gaza. Hamas? Hamas would love to gain full control and solidify its power over the West Bank.”Radicals would be “empowered,” Lerner said. “Hardballing the Palestinians into submission is likely to blow up on Israel’s doorstep.”It’s also not likely to bring the Palestinians on board, said Yousef Munayyer, the executive director of the US campaign for Palestinian rights.“When you want coercion to lead to a change of behavior, the actor has to see there’s something to lose,” he said. “In the case of the Palestinians they’re already the party living under military occupation. It’s a people that has lost faith in the ability of the United States to deliver anything for them. The threat of cutting ties or reducing aid to different agencies, while it has a real impact on real vulnerable people, as a political tool it doesn’t have much promise at all.”Lara Friedman, the president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which backs a two-state solution, claimed that denying the Palestinians the multigenerational attachment to historical Palestine embedded in their refugee status was odd, considering the millennia-long Jewish attachment to the land of Israel.“For folks who naively believe we’re simplifying the Palestinian issue, they are not taking seriously the power of narrative and grievances,” she said. “How long have Jews held fast to ‘next year in Jerusalem’?”Trump’s latest moves, predictably, divided the pro-Israel left and right.“The Trump administration’s moves to rescind the refugee status of millions of Palestinians and to massively cut US humanitarian aid to the West Bank and Gaza further confirm that their real intent isn’t an ‘ultimate deal’ to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but to adopt as US policy the disastrous agenda of Israel’s far-right,” said J Street, the liberal Mideast policy group, in a statement.Josh Block of the Israel Project welcomed the cuts, telling The New York Times that the Palestinian Authority “will continue seeing its international aid cut not only by the US but others as well” as long as Palestinian leaders support terrorism and refuse to engage with the administration.

Russia to hold its biggest war games since fall of Soviet Union-[Reuters]-By Andrew Osborn-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will next month hold its biggest war games since the fall of the Soviet Union, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday, a massive military exercise that will also involve the Chinese and Mongolian armies.The exercise, called Vostok-2018 (East-2018), will take place in central and eastern Russian military districts and involve almost 300,000 troops, more than 1,000 military aircraft, two of Russia's naval fleets, and all of its airborne units, Shoigu said in a statement.The maneuvers will take place at a time of heightened tension between the West and Russia, which is concerned about what it says is an unjustified build-up of the NATO military alliance on its western flank.NATO says it has beefed up its forces in eastern Europe to deter potential Russian military action after Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea in 2014 and backed a pro-Russian uprising in eastern Ukraine.The war games, which will take place from Sept. 11-15, are likely to worry Japan, which has already complained about a Russian military build-up in the Far East, something Moscow has linked to Tokyo's roll-out of the Aegis U.S. missile system.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is due to attend a forum in the Russian city of Vladivostok over the same period, and a Japanese Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday that Tokyo always paid attention to shifts in Russian-Chinese military cooperation.Shoigu said the war games would be the biggest since a Soviet military exercise, Zapad-81 (West-81) in 1981."In some ways they will repeat aspects of Zapad-81, but in other ways the scale will be bigger," Shoigu told reporters, while visiting the Russian region of Khakassia.Shoigu said that both Russia's Pacific and Northern Fleets would take part, while the Russian Ministry of Defense has said that Chinese and Mongolian military units will also participate."A MORE ASSERTIVE RUSSIA"-Asked if the cost of holding such a massive military exercise was justified at a time when Russia is faced with higher social spending demands, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said such war games were essential."The country's ability to defend itself in the current international situation, which is often aggressive and unfriendly towards our country, means (the exercise) is justified," Peskov told reporters on a conference call.When asked if China's involvement meant Moscow and Beijing were moving towards an alliance, Peskov said it showed that the two were cooperating in all areas.China and Russia have taken part in joint military drills before but not on such a large scale.NATO spokesman Dylan White said that Russia had briefed the alliance on the planned exercise in May and that NATO would monitor it. Russia had invited military attaches from NATO countries based in Moscow to observe the war games, an offer he said was under consideration."All nations have the right to exercise their armed forces, but it is essential that this is done in a transparent and predictable manner," White said in an emailed statement."Vostok demonstrates Russia’s focus on exercising large-scale conflict. It fits into a pattern we have seen over some time: a more assertive Russia, significantly increasing its defense budget and its military presence."Shoigu this month announced the start of snap combat readiness checks in central and eastern military districts ahead of the planned exercise."Imagine 36,000 armored vehicles - tanks, armored personnel carriers and armored infantry vehicles - moving and working simultaneously, and that all this, naturally, is being tested in conditions as close as possible to military ones," Shoigu said on Tuesday.(Additional reporting by Katya Golubkova and Andrey Kuzmin in Moscow, Robin Emmott in Brussels and Elaine Lies in Tokyo; Editing by Andrew Bolton)
Russia reinforces naval forces in Mediterranean off Syrian coast-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has deployed several frigates to the Mediterranean via the Bosphorus, an analysis of shipping traffic showed, part of what a Russian newspaper on Tuesday called Moscow's largest naval buildup since it entered the Syrian conflict in 2015.The reinforcement comes as Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is believed to be considering an assault on the last big rebel-held enclave, Idlib in the north.Russia has accused the United States of building up its own forces in the Middle East in preparation for a possible strike on Syrian government forces.On Saturday, the Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Essen frigates sailed through Istanbul's Bosphorus towards the Mediterranean, Reuters pictures showed.The day before, the Pytlivy frigate and landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov were pictured sailing through the Turkish straits that connect the Black Sea with the Mediterranean. The Vishny Volochek missile corvette passed through earlier this month.The Izvestia newspaper said Russia had gathered its largest naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea since it intervened in Syria in 2015 turning the tide in Assad's favor.The force included 10 vessels, most of them armed with long-range Kalibr cruise missiles, Izvestia wrote, adding that more were on the way, and that two submarines had also been deployed.(Reporting by Tom Balmforth; Editing by Peter Graff)
Russia again claims Syrian rebels preparing chemical attack-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Tuesday again accused Syrian rebels of preparing a chemical attack which Moscow says will be used to justify a Western strike against Syrian troops.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Tuesday that the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee is preparing the attack in the northern Idlib province, and that it would be filmed by first-responders known as the White Helmets, who Russia has accused of fabricating past attacks.Western countries and independent analysts say Syrian government forces have conducted several chemical weapons attacks over the course of the seven-year civil war. Alleged chemical attacks in 2017 and earlier this year led the U.S. to launch punitive strikes against Syrian forces.Russia is a close ally of the Syrian government, which denies ever using chemical weapons. The Syrian government has been sending reinforcements toward Idlib for weeks ahead of an expected major offensive against the last major rebel stronghold in the country.Last week, Russian Maj. Gen. Alexei Tsygankov, who heads the center for reconciliation of warring parties in Syria, claimed that British special services were involved in plans for the alleged provocation. That brought a heated denial from Britain's U.N. ambassador, Karen Pierce, during a Security Council session on the humanitarian situation in Syria held Tuesday."Even by the egregious standards of Russian propaganda, this is an extraordinary allegation," she said. "It is wholly untrue."She said the claim was either aimed at increasing "the amount of fake news in the system (or) as a smoke screen for a possible impending attack by the Syrian regime, once again against its own people, in Idlib.""I repeat the statement that I, the French and the Americans made earlier about responding appropriately," she added.U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton last week warned Syria's government against using chemical weapons and vowed a tough response if it does.Russia's U.N. ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said that "if the Defense Ministry says something, then it says that based on concrete facts.""The Syrian armed forces do not have chemical weapons and have no plans to use them. There is no military need for that. We have stated that more than once. People in their right minds will not use means that are useless from a military point of view in order to trigger reprisals by three major powers," he said.
U.S. military hints could resume major exercises on Korean peninsula-[Reuters]-By Phil Stewart and Arshad Mohammed-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military has no plans yet to suspend any more major military exercises with South Korea, the defense secretary said on Tuesday, in the middle of a breakdown in diplomacy with North Korea over its nuclear weapons.Defense Secretary James Mattis said at a Pentagon news conference that no decisions had been made about major exercises for next year, but noted that the suspension of drills last summer as a good-faith gesture to North Korea was not open-ended.U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to unilaterally suspend the drills caught many American military planners off-guard and was roundly criticized as a premature concession to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who Trump wants to give up his nuclear weapons."We took the step to suspend several of the largest exercises as a good-faith measure coming out of the Singapore summit," Mattis told reporters, referring to the June 12 meeting between Trump and Kim."We have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises," he said, adding that no decisions had yet been made on major exercises for next year.Mattis also said smaller exercises deemed to be exempt from the suspension were ongoing.Mattis' comments on the drills come at a delicate time for negotiations between the United States and North Korea after Trump scrapped plans for a meeting between top officials from both countries.At the June summit, the first meeting between a serving U.S. president and a North Korean leader, Kim agreed in broad terms to work toward denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. But North Korea has given no indication it is willing to give up its weapons unilaterally as the Trump administration has demanded.Since then, diplomats have failed to advance the process.North Korean officials even warned in a letter to U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week that denuclearization talks risked falling apart, U.S. officials told Reuters.In particular, the North wants steps toward a peace treaty. The 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty, leaving U.S.-led U.N. forces technically still at war with North Korea.U.S. officials fear North Korea might turn its attention to cutting a separate deal with South Korea and driving a wedge between the U.S.-South Korea alliance.A South Korea presidential spokesman said he was not in a position to comment on the authenticity of the letter but acknowledged that talks between Washington and Pyongyang were at a stalemate."With North Korea and the U.S. remaining stalemated, there is an even bigger need for an inter-Korea summit," Kim Eui-kyeom, a spokesman for the presidential Blue House, told a briefing.South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said this month his planned third summit with North Korea's Kim next month would be another step toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and an end to the Korean War.TRIP CANCELED-Trump abruptly canceled his top diplomat’s planned trip to North Korea on Friday, publicly acknowledging for the first time that his effort to get Pyongyang to denuclearize had stalled since his summit with the North's leader.Trump partly blamed China for the lack of progress with North Korea and suggested that talks with Pyongyang.On Sunday, North Korea's state media accused the United States of "double-dealing" and "hatching a criminal plot" but did not mention Pompeo's canceled visit.U.S. intelligence and defense officials have repeatedly expressed doubts about North Korea's willingness to give up its nuclear weapons and they had not expected Pompeo's trip to yield positive results.Mattis declined to comment on the broader diplomatic efforts, deferring to Pompeo's State Department."We will work very closely, as I said, with the secretary of state and what he needs done we will certainly do to reinforce his effort. But at this time, there is no discussion about further suspensions," Mattis said.The traditional U.S. calendar for other major drills does not pick up again until next spring, officials say, which could give diplomats and military planners time.The U.S.-South Korean exercise calendar hits a high point every spring with the Foal Eagle and Max Thunder drills, which take months to plan. It was unclear if any planning for the drills was already taking place.Max Thunder’s air combat exercises so unnerved North Korea this year that it issued threatening statements that nearly scuttled the June summit between Trump and Kim.Foal Eagle is designed to simulate war scenarios and involves ground, air, naval and special operations forces.(Reporting by Mekhla Raina in Bengaluru, John Walcott, David Brunnstrom and Matt Spetalnick in Washington, Cynthia Kim in Seoul; Editing by Mary Milliken and Jonathan Oatis)

Winter is coming: Snow hits in mountains west of Calgary-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-August 29, 2018
There are some disturbing signs that summer in southern Alberta could be coming to a very early end.In the mountains west of Calgary, there's already a fresh dusting of snow in the higher elevations.The webcams at Sunshine Village ski resort in Banff National Park show the hills are starting to turn white long before the summer hikers give way to the boarders and skiers.Alberta's ski resorts usually open at the beginning of November.There was even talk on Twitter of snow falling early Monday morning on the highway heading west into Canmore.Calgary's forecast high Monday was a paltry 12 C with showers, but things are looking more summer-like as the week goes on, with with highs back up into the high teens and low 20s.Snowfall in Calgary at this time of year is not altogether uncommon. On Sept. 8, 2014, Calgary was walloped by a major snowfall that caused power outages all over the city and destroyed or damaged thousands of trees.
Report: Nearly 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico linked to Maria-[Associated Press]-DANICA COTO-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Maria killed nearly 3,000 people in Puerto Rico in the desperate, sweltering months after the storm — almost double the previous government estimate — with the elderly and impoverished most affected, according to an independent study ordered by the U.S. territory.The new estimate of 2,975 dead in the six months after Maria devastated the island in September 2017 and knocked out the entire electrical grid was made by researchers with the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University and released Tuesday."We are hopeful that the government will accept this as an official death toll," said Lynn Goldman, dean of the institute. "A lesson from this is that efforts for assistance and recovery need to focus as much as possible on lower-income areas, on people who are older, who are more vulnerable."The finding is almost twice the government's previous estimate, included in a recent report to Congress, that there were 1,427 more deaths in the three months after the storm than the average for the same period over the previous four years.The George Washington researchers said the official count from the hurricane that hit on Sept. 20 is low in part because doctors were not trained in how to certify deaths after a disaster.The number of deaths from September 2017 to February 2018 was up 22 percent from the same period in previous years, Goldman said.The office of Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello did not immediately return a message for comment.Rep. Nydia Velazquez, a New York Democrat, said the report shows the U.S. government failed the people of Puerto Rico."These numbers are only the latest to underscore that the federal response to the hurricanes was disastrously inadequate and, as a result, thousands of our fellow American citizens lost their lives," she said in a statement.There is no national standard on how to count disaster-related deaths. While the National Hurricane Center reports only direct deaths, such as those caused by flying debris or drowning in the floodwaters, some local governments may include indirect deaths, from such things as heart attacks and house fires.Researchers with George Washington said they counted deaths over the span of six months — a much longer period than usual — because so many people were without power during that time."That caused a number of issues," Goldman said, adding that people were forced to exert themselves physically or were exposed to intense heat without fans or air conditioning. "It's fairly striking that you have so many households without electricity for so long. That's unusual in the U.S. after a disaster."Puerto Rico's government released data in June showing increases in several illnesses in 2017 that could have been linked to the storm: Cases of sepsis, a serious bloodstream infection usually caused by bacteria, rose from 708 in 2016 to 835 last year. Deaths from diabetes went from 3,151 to 3,250, and deaths from heart illnesses increased from 5,417 to 5,586.The Rossello administration stopped updating its official death toll of 64 months ago and ordered the independent investigation amid reports that the number was substantially undercounted.The first phase of the study cost $305,000. In the second phase, the researchers plan to focus on the causes of death.The researchers found that the risk of death was 45 percent higher for those living in impoverished communities, and that men older than 65 saw a continuous elevated risk of death.They also reported that physicians and others told them that Puerto Rico's government did not notify them about federal guidelines on how to document deaths related to a major disaster."Others expressed reluctance to relate deaths to hurricanes due to concern about the subjectivity of this determination and about liability," the report said.Researchers said they took into account an 8 percent drop in Puerto Rico's population that occurred in the six months after the storm, when tens of thousands fled because of the damage. They also reviewed mortality data, including deaths by age, sex and municipality of residence, from July 2010 to February 2018.However, they did not share details of the methodology, saying those will be released if the study is published in a scientific journal."We did not cherry-pick, I can promise you," Goldman said. "We used very rigorous methodology."The study also found that government emergency plans in place when Maria hit were not designed for hurricanes greater than a Category 1. Maria was a Category 4 with 154 mph winds. Damage was estimated at more than $100 billion.In addition, neither the Department of Public Safety nor the governor's communications office had any written crisis and emergency communication plans in place, researchers said.They made several recommendations, including that the government train doctors better on filling out death certificates and that it develop a policy for preparing for and responding to major emergencies.The researchers also said the public health system needs to be strengthened, though Goldman said they don't know yet whether those weaknesses contributed to storm-related deaths.She added that she worries whether Puerto Rico, which is trying to restructure a portion of its more than $70 billion public debt amid a 12-year recession, can adopt any of the recommendations."I don't think they have the resources," she said. "That is a very critical issue."

Ex-communist East Germany a hotbed for racist hate crime-Frustration at mass refugee influx exacerbating far-right sentiment, sparking wave of xenophobic violence-By AFP-TOI-AUG 29,18
BERLIN, Germany — Far-right mob violence targeting immigrants in the German city of Chemnitz has again cast an ugly spotlight on the country’ ex-communist east as a hotbed of xenophobia.Extremist hooligans have vented their anger at foreigners, hunting some in the streets, since a German man was stabbed to death in the early hours of Sunday, allegedly by an Iraqi and a Syrian who were arrested Monday.Especially the state of Saxony, where Chemnitz is located, has been a center for resentful opposition against Chancellor Angela Merkel and her 2015 decision to keep open German borders to a mass influx of migrants and refugees.Saxony state capital Dresden has long been an iconic city for German neo-Nazis embittered by the Allies’ aerial bombing of the Baroque city center in World War II.The city in recent years became the birthplace of the so-called PEGIDA movement, short for “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident.”“We are the people,” the demonstrators chant regularly, co-opting the slogan of rallies before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and suggesting a righteous revolt against an out-of-touch political elite and the “lying press.”Earlier this month, Dresden again made headlines when an anti-Merkel PEGIDA follower argued with a TV team, which was then obstructed by police — a scandal that worsened when it turned out the protester was an off-duty police employee.The anti-immigration and anti-Islam Alternative for Germany (AfD) party also made some of its strongest gains in Saxony and the four other states that until 1990 were part of Soviet-allied East Germany.Small towns such as Heidenau and Freital have earned nationwide notoriety as neo-Nazis and angry residents have hurled abuse at people fleeing war and misery — and rocks at police sent to protect those seeking a safe haven.-Xenophobic violence-State leaders have cautioned against “stigmatizing” the east, which despite a multi-billion-euro infrastructure overhaul still lags the former West in wealth, jobs and opportunities.Yet a spate of arson attacks against refugee shelters, and swastikas scrawled on their walls, have brought back dark memories of xenophobic violence that flared at the time of Germany’s reunification over a quarter-century ago.In the turbulent early 1990s — when East Germans got their first taste of democracy, but also faced economic collapse and uncertainty — the frustration exploded in sometimes deadly mob attacks against asylum shelters.Historians point at other roots of entrenched far-right sentiment in the east, the only part of Germany where the neo-Nazi National Party of Germany (NPD) has seats in many town halls.While West Germany was credited with dealing relatively openly with the Nazi era and Holocaust, the East German regime resisted “de-Nazification” in the Cold War and painted the Third Reich as an outgrowth of Western capitalism.It termed the Berlin Wall it erected in 1961 to stop a massive popular exodus an “anti-fascist” rampart.The foreign-born population was minimal in East Germany, with the largest group some 60,000 laborers from “socialist brother state” Vietnam, who would bear the brunt of racist attacks after the Wall fell.It was the disenchanted right-wing extremist skinhead youth culture that, in the eastern state of Thuringia, spawned three neo-Nazis whose bloody crimes, when they finally emerged in 2011, would shock Germany.The trio formed the National Socialist Underground — a secret extremist cell that laid bombs and shot dead nine people with migrant backgrounds as well as a policewoman, in post-war Germany’s worst racist killing spree.

Israel says it will keep hitting Iran, as Tehran says it’s staying in Syria-Senior diplomatic source says Netanyahu regards pushing Islamic Republic forces out of neighboring country as important as canceling nuclear deal-By TOI staff-AUG 29,18
Israel’s military will continue to target Iranian weapons and troops in Syria, a senior diplomatic source said Tuesday, as Iran signaled it would resist attempts to push its forces out of the country.The army will continue to act with “full determination” against Iranian attempts to get troops and weaponry onto Syrian ground, the source told several Hebrew-language media outlets.The diplomat added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regards preventing Iranian troops from gaining a foothold in Syria as no less important than getting the Iran nuclear deal canceled.Russia, seen as the key to getting Iran to leave Syria as the civil war there draws to a close, has said it cannot force the Islamic Republic to retreat, and analysts say the goal is all but impossible.However, the Israeli source noted that the Iran nuclear deal was also seen as impossible to fight, but is now teetering thanks to the US withdrawal from the deal. The diplomat indicated Jerusalem would continue to lobby Russia and the US to put pressure on Iran, and said the reimposition of US sanctions on Tehran was “taking its toll.”The US has said getting Iran to end its military adventurism in Syria and elsewhere is one of the goals of increased financial pressure on Tehran.On Monday, though, Iran and Syria signed an agreement on military cooperation and reconstruction in the war-torn country, with Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Hatami vowing to take an active role in the reconstruction of the country’s decimated forces.The “defense and technical agreement” provides for the continued “presence and participation” of Iran in Syria, Hatami said.In an interview Monday night with the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen television channel, Hatami said the agreement included the rehabilitation of Syria’s defense industry and assured Iran would provide “good service.”“With this accord, we have paved the way for a reconstruction of the Syrian military industries,” he said, continuing, “Based on what I know about the Iranian capability, I think that Netanyahu’s threats to attack are far from reality.”“The most important element of the deal is the rebuilding of the Syrian armed forces and defense industries so that they can regain their full capacity.”Tehran has provided steady political, financial, and military backing to Assad as he has fought back a seven-year uprising.
Greek anarchists protest deepening Israel ties, US embassy move-Rubicon group members sneak into foreign ministry compound in Athens, leaving Palestinian flag, photos of slain Gazans to protest defense, energy cooperation with Jerusalem-By AP and TOI staff-AUG 29,18
A Greek anarchist group staged a protest Tuesday at Foreign Ministry building in central Athens to oppose Greek-Israeli energy and military cooperation as well as the decision by the United States to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.In the videotaped protest posted online, two members of the Greek anarchist group Rubicon climbed into the ministry compound and left a bag near the entrance.The group said it contained a Palestinian flag and photographs of Palestinian protesters shot dead by Israeli forces during demonstrations that coincided with the US Embassy move in May.No arrests were reported.Greece has improved ties with Israel in recent years, and the two countries hold regular military exercises in the region, often joined by US forces.The latest joint drill came in June, when warplanes from both countries simulated a war on multiple fronts, including a significant bombing campaign against targets in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said 40 of its fighter jets, refueling planes and transport planes traveled to Greece for the exercise.The drill came amid peak tensions in the Gaza border area, following multiple exchanges of mortar and rocket fire and violence along the security fence.Over the past four months the “March of Return” protests have led to deadly clashes that saw Israeli security forces facing Palestinian gunfire, grenades, Molotov cocktails, and efforts — sometimes successful — to damage or cross the Gaza border fence.In addition, balloons and kites launched from Gaza bearing incendiary devices have caused hundreds of fires in southern Israel that have burned thousands of acres of land.At least 160 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the weekly protests began, the Hamas-run health ministry says. Hamas, a terror group that seized control of Gaza in 2007 and seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged that dozens of those killed were its members.The demonstrations peaked on May 14, the day the US moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with 40,000 Palestinians taking part in the protests and clashes with Israeli soldiers along the border. Some 63 Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops that day. Hamas later acknowledged that 50 of them were their members.Last year, members of Rubicon vandalized the Israeli embassy in Athens to protest Israeli government policies toward Palestinians.
Over my dead body,’ Abbas reportedly says amid Gaza ceasefire talk-PA said to lash out against Egypt and 'treasonous' Hamas over potential deal; terror group ruling Strip reacts by slamming PA for cooperation with Israel-By Michael Bachner and TOI staff-AUG 29,18
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly lambasted a potential ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, saying such a deal would only be reached “over my dead body” and drawing a scathing response from Hamas.“If the agreement is signed without the PA’s permission, it is illegal and constitutes treason,” Abbas said in private conversations, Channel 10 reported on Tuesday citing a senior member of Abbas’s Fatah party.“Over my dead body will there be a ceasefire and calm between both sides,” Abbas said, according to the source.Regarding intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks, which have stalled recently, the Fatah member was quoted as saying disagreements between the factions were mounting and that such a deal “never looked more distant.”Abbas was also said to be furious at Egypt, which has been brokering Israel-Hamas truce talks, for being willing to sit down with members of the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip without his presence.“The Egyptians aren’t reading the map correctly and are harming the Palestinian national interests,” the Fatah official said. “Talks with Hamas, which took control of Gaza by force and without the consent of the Palestinian Authority, are unacceptable and are an act of defiance against Palestinian leadership.”Abbas’s Fatah party and Hamas have been deeply divided for more than a decade. Hamas, an Islamist terror group which openly seeks to destroy Israel, seized control of Gaza from the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority in 2007 and several attempts at reconciliation since then have failed.The PA government has been putting pressure on Hamas to reach a reconciliation deal that would return Fatah rule to Gaza, and earlier this year began to scale back electricity payments and other financial support in an effort to force Hamas to cede ground in Gaza.Abbas is demanding that Hamas hand over complete control of Gaza to the PA, and that the switch be conducted in a single stroke rather than in stages.He has warned against a reported deal taking shape between Israel and Hamas for a long-term ceasefire in Gaza if it does not include the PA.Hamas responded to the criticism with a rare statement slamming the PA and saying that there is a “national consensus” among the Palestinian people in favor of a long-term Gaza ceasefire with Israel.The terror group was referring specifically to a deal that would lift the blockade of Gaza, which would ostensibly require some sort of agreement with Israel.“We aren’t moving toward a political agreement or a part of an international deal that gives up our lands, recognizes the occupier or destroys the national project, as you did,” Hamas said, addressing the PA. “We didn’t recognize the Zionist entity and sanctify the security coordination, as you did at the expense of our people.”Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif al-Qanua dismissed the PA criticism as “worthless” and added they were “not fooling anybody — the people still supports the resistance and we will keep our hand on the trigger to defend the Palestinian people from the Zionist occupation.”The statement called on the PA and Fatah to withdraw its recognition of Israel, stop the security coordination with it and lift the sanctions it has imposed on Gaza.Last week Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh claimed an end to Israel’s more than decade-long blockade of Gaza was “around the corner.”Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel have reportedly included discussion on easing the blockade, but by no means a complete lifting of it. Israel says the blockade is in place in order to prevent weapons and other military equipment from entering the Strip.Recent months have seen repeated rounds of intense violence between Israel and Hamas, along with weekly border protests at the Gaza border that have regularly included rioting, attacks on Israeli troops and attempts to infiltrate and sabotage the border fence.Around 170 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the weekly protests began, a Hamas ministry says. Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of those killed were its members.One Israeli soldier was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper.In addition to the border clashes, southern Israel has experienced hundreds of fires as a result of incendiary kites and balloons flown over the border from Gaza. Over 7,000 acres of land have been burned, causing millions of shekels in damages, according to Israeli officials.AFP contributed to this report.
As US buries era of evenhandedness, will shift bring Palestinians to the table? US analysts are divided on whether cutting aid to the PA and rejecting UNRWA's definition of refugees is the right move, or whether it will further alienate Palestinians-By Ron Kampeas-TOI-AUG 29,18
WASHINGTON, United States (JTA) — US President Donald Trump wants to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, but he and his top officials appear to be determined to first reframe the parameters of the conflict.What’s unclear is if the radical changes in policy, spearheaded by Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, will bring Palestinians back to the peace table, or cripple any prospects for peace.Since Trump assumed office he has jettisoned a number of orthodoxies that for years defined US administration policy, whether Democratic or Republican: He retreated from the two-state solution, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he slashed funding to the Palestinians and he has trained rhetorical fire on the Palestinian Authority.Now his administration looks set to embrace a much narrower definition of Palestinian refugee than the one accepted by the UN agency that delivers aid to the Palestinians, UNRWA.Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, told Reuters last week that UNRWA and its definitions were in the Trump administration’s sights.“UNRWA is a failed mechanism. It violates standard international law on the status of refugees,” Bolton said. “UNRWA’s program is the only one in history based on the assumption that refugee status is hereditary, and I think it is long overdue that we have taken steps to reduce funding.”Bolton said UNRWA’s perpetuation of refugee status was a mistake.“Much of UNRWA’s expenses really go to perpetuating the refugee status of the Palestinian people, and I think that’s a mistake,” he said. “I think it’s a mistake from a humanitarian point of view … a perpetuation of an unnatural status.”UNRWA defines Palestinian refugees as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period between June 1 1946 and May 15 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.” It also extends that definition to all descendants of those people. It serves some 5 million people in 58 recognized Palestinian refugee camps.Bolton was saying on the record what Kushner wrote in an internal White House email in January, when he said UNRWA “perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn’t help peace” and said it was necessary to “strategically risk breaking things” to get to a better outcome.It was just the latest challenge to a long-held status quo: Last week, the Trump administration said it would cut $200 million from the $400 million or so it is congressionally mandated to deliver to the Palestinians (a more recent law passed by the US Congress allows this). The Trump administration has so far delivered only $60 million this year to UNRWA, which assists refugees not only in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip but in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Last year it delivered $368 million to the body, by far the most generous donor.Last December, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and in May moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That act drove Palestinians away from Kushner’s efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian talks.Jonathan Schanzer, a vice president of the hawkish Foundation for Defense of Democracies who has for years tracked US policies on the Palestinians, said that the Kushner team appeared to be strategically reformulating the power dynamic in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Previous administrations had effectively recognized the sides as equals, which Schanzer said fed Palestinian recalcitrance, contributing to the deadlock that has characterized the talks for decades.“The Palestinians are often granted more power than they actually have; the Israelis are asked to relinquish power and it’s ended in disaster,” Schanzer said. “This is an attempt to shift the dynamic to give the Israelis more power and the Palestinians less in a way that affects the actual dynamic.”Kushner is often the point man driving the changes. He derided Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in an on-the-record interview with a Palestinian newspaper, Al Quds, that was published in Arabic.“I don’t think the Palestinian people feel like their lives are getting better, and there is only so long you can blame that on everyone other than Palestinian leadership,” Kushner said in the June interview. “I do question how much President Abbas has the ability to, or is willing to, lean into finishing a deal. He has his talking points, which have not changed in the last 25 years.”Previous administrations have avoided blaming either side for the failure to make a deal (while at times criticizing individual acts, of settlement by the Israelis or incitement by the Palestinians, as unhelpful).Israeli leaders have welcomed some of the changes — particularly the Jerusalem move — but have mostly been silent at the cuts in funding to UNRWA. In an op-ed for Haaretz, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a former longtime Israel Defense Forces spokesman, explained that while Israelis are frustrated with the Palestinians, sudden changes could portend chaos, including the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, which helps to maintain quiet in the West Bank.“When the Palestinian Authority collapses, who is likely to pick up the pieces? Israel?” Lerner wrote. “Israel has no interest in the international, financial or security burden of re-enforcing a civil-military administration over Gaza. Hamas? Hamas would love to gain full control and solidify its power over the West Bank.”Radicals would be “empowered,” Lerner said. “Hardballing the Palestinians into submission is likely to blow up on Israel’s doorstep.”It’s also not likely to bring the Palestinians on board, said Yousef Munayyer, the executive director of the US campaign for Palestinian rights.“When you want coercion to lead to a change of behavior, the actor has to see there’s something to lose,” he said. “In the case of the Palestinians they’re already the party living under military occupation. It’s a people that has lost faith in the ability of the United States to deliver anything for them. The threat of cutting ties or reducing aid to different agencies, while it has a real impact on real vulnerable people, as a political tool it doesn’t have much promise at all.”Lara Friedman, the president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which backs a two-state solution, claimed that denying the Palestinians the multigenerational attachment to historical Palestine embedded in their refugee status was odd, considering the millennia-long Jewish attachment to the land of Israel.“For folks who naively believe we’re simplifying the Palestinian issue, they are not taking seriously the power of narrative and grievances,” she said. “How long have Jews held fast to ‘next year in Jerusalem’?”Trump’s latest moves, predictably, divided the pro-Israel left and right.“The Trump administration’s moves to rescind the refugee status of millions of Palestinians and to massively cut US humanitarian aid to the West Bank and Gaza further confirm that their real intent isn’t an ‘ultimate deal’ to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but to adopt as US policy the disastrous agenda of Israel’s far-right,” said J Street, the liberal Mideast policy group, in a statement.Josh Block of the Israel Project welcomed the cuts, telling The New York Times that the Palestinian Authority “will continue seeing its international aid cut not only by the US but others as well” as long as Palestinian leaders support terrorism and refuse to engage with the administration.

Russia to hold its biggest war games since fall of Soviet Union-[Reuters]-By Andrew Osborn-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will next month hold its biggest war games since the fall of the Soviet Union, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday, a massive military exercise that will also involve the Chinese and Mongolian armies.The exercise, called Vostok-2018 (East-2018), will take place in central and eastern Russian military districts and involve almost 300,000 troops, more than 1,000 military aircraft, two of Russia's naval fleets, and all of its airborne units, Shoigu said in a statement.The maneuvers will take place at a time of heightened tension between the West and Russia, which is concerned about what it says is an unjustified build-up of the NATO military alliance on its western flank.NATO says it has beefed up its forces in eastern Europe to deter potential Russian military action after Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea in 2014 and backed a pro-Russian uprising in eastern Ukraine.The war games, which will take place from Sept. 11-15, are likely to worry Japan, which has already complained about a Russian military build-up in the Far East, something Moscow has linked to Tokyo's roll-out of the Aegis U.S. missile system.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is due to attend a forum in the Russian city of Vladivostok over the same period, and a Japanese Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday that Tokyo always paid attention to shifts in Russian-Chinese military cooperation.Shoigu said the war games would be the biggest since a Soviet military exercise, Zapad-81 (West-81) in 1981."In some ways they will repeat aspects of Zapad-81, but in other ways the scale will be bigger," Shoigu told reporters, while visiting the Russian region of Khakassia.Shoigu said that both Russia's Pacific and Northern Fleets would take part, while the Russian Ministry of Defense has said that Chinese and Mongolian military units will also participate."A MORE ASSERTIVE RUSSIA"-Asked if the cost of holding such a massive military exercise was justified at a time when Russia is faced with higher social spending demands, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said such war games were essential."The country's ability to defend itself in the current international situation, which is often aggressive and unfriendly towards our country, means (the exercise) is justified," Peskov told reporters on a conference call.When asked if China's involvement meant Moscow and Beijing were moving towards an alliance, Peskov said it showed that the two were cooperating in all areas.China and Russia have taken part in joint military drills before but not on such a large scale.NATO spokesman Dylan White said that Russia had briefed the alliance on the planned exercise in May and that NATO would monitor it. Russia had invited military attaches from NATO countries based in Moscow to observe the war games, an offer he said was under consideration."All nations have the right to exercise their armed forces, but it is essential that this is done in a transparent and predictable manner," White said in an emailed statement."Vostok demonstrates Russia’s focus on exercising large-scale conflict. It fits into a pattern we have seen over some time: a more assertive Russia, significantly increasing its defense budget and its military presence."Shoigu this month announced the start of snap combat readiness checks in central and eastern military districts ahead of the planned exercise."Imagine 36,000 armored vehicles - tanks, armored personnel carriers and armored infantry vehicles - moving and working simultaneously, and that all this, naturally, is being tested in conditions as close as possible to military ones," Shoigu said on Tuesday.(Additional reporting by Katya Golubkova and Andrey Kuzmin in Moscow, Robin Emmott in Brussels and Elaine Lies in Tokyo; Editing by Andrew Bolton)
Russia reinforces naval forces in Mediterranean off Syrian coast-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has deployed several frigates to the Mediterranean via the Bosphorus, an analysis of shipping traffic showed, part of what a Russian newspaper on Tuesday called Moscow's largest naval buildup since it entered the Syrian conflict in 2015.The reinforcement comes as Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is believed to be considering an assault on the last big rebel-held enclave, Idlib in the north.Russia has accused the United States of building up its own forces in the Middle East in preparation for a possible strike on Syrian government forces.On Saturday, the Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Essen frigates sailed through Istanbul's Bosphorus towards the Mediterranean, Reuters pictures showed.The day before, the Pytlivy frigate and landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov were pictured sailing through the Turkish straits that connect the Black Sea with the Mediterranean. The Vishny Volochek missile corvette passed through earlier this month.The Izvestia newspaper said Russia had gathered its largest naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea since it intervened in Syria in 2015 turning the tide in Assad's favor.The force included 10 vessels, most of them armed with long-range Kalibr cruise missiles, Izvestia wrote, adding that more were on the way, and that two submarines had also been deployed.(Reporting by Tom Balmforth; Editing by Peter Graff)
Russia again claims Syrian rebels preparing chemical attack-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Tuesday again accused Syrian rebels of preparing a chemical attack which Moscow says will be used to justify a Western strike against Syrian troops.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Tuesday that the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee is preparing the attack in the northern Idlib province, and that it would be filmed by first-responders known as the White Helmets, who Russia has accused of fabricating past attacks.Western countries and independent analysts say Syrian government forces have conducted several chemical weapons attacks over the course of the seven-year civil war. Alleged chemical attacks in 2017 and earlier this year led the U.S. to launch punitive strikes against Syrian forces.Russia is a close ally of the Syrian government, which denies ever using chemical weapons. The Syrian government has been sending reinforcements toward Idlib for weeks ahead of an expected major offensive against the last major rebel stronghold in the country.Last week, Russian Maj. Gen. Alexei Tsygankov, who heads the center for reconciliation of warring parties in Syria, claimed that British special services were involved in plans for the alleged provocation. That brought a heated denial from Britain's U.N. ambassador, Karen Pierce, during a Security Council session on the humanitarian situation in Syria held Tuesday."Even by the egregious standards of Russian propaganda, this is an extraordinary allegation," she said. "It is wholly untrue."She said the claim was either aimed at increasing "the amount of fake news in the system (or) as a smoke screen for a possible impending attack by the Syrian regime, once again against its own people, in Idlib.""I repeat the statement that I, the French and the Americans made earlier about responding appropriately," she added.U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton last week warned Syria's government against using chemical weapons and vowed a tough response if it does.Russia's U.N. ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said that "if the Defense Ministry says something, then it says that based on concrete facts.""The Syrian armed forces do not have chemical weapons and have no plans to use them. There is no military need for that. We have stated that more than once. People in their right minds will not use means that are useless from a military point of view in order to trigger reprisals by three major powers," he said.
U.S. military hints could resume major exercises on Korean peninsula-[Reuters]-By Phil Stewart and Arshad Mohammed-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military has no plans yet to suspend any more major military exercises with South Korea, the defense secretary said on Tuesday, in the middle of a breakdown in diplomacy with North Korea over its nuclear weapons.Defense Secretary James Mattis said at a Pentagon news conference that no decisions had been made about major exercises for next year, but noted that the suspension of drills last summer as a good-faith gesture to North Korea was not open-ended.U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to unilaterally suspend the drills caught many American military planners off-guard and was roundly criticized as a premature concession to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who Trump wants to give up his nuclear weapons."We took the step to suspend several of the largest exercises as a good-faith measure coming out of the Singapore summit," Mattis told reporters, referring to the June 12 meeting between Trump and Kim."We have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises," he said, adding that no decisions had yet been made on major exercises for next year.Mattis also said smaller exercises deemed to be exempt from the suspension were ongoing.Mattis' comments on the drills come at a delicate time for negotiations between the United States and North Korea after Trump scrapped plans for a meeting between top officials from both countries.At the June summit, the first meeting between a serving U.S. president and a North Korean leader, Kim agreed in broad terms to work toward denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. But North Korea has given no indication it is willing to give up its weapons unilaterally as the Trump administration has demanded.Since then, diplomats have failed to advance the process.North Korean officials even warned in a letter to U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week that denuclearization talks risked falling apart, U.S. officials told Reuters.In particular, the North wants steps toward a peace treaty. The 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty, leaving U.S.-led U.N. forces technically still at war with North Korea.U.S. officials fear North Korea might turn its attention to cutting a separate deal with South Korea and driving a wedge between the U.S.-South Korea alliance.A South Korea presidential spokesman said he was not in a position to comment on the authenticity of the letter but acknowledged that talks between Washington and Pyongyang were at a stalemate."With North Korea and the U.S. remaining stalemated, there is an even bigger need for an inter-Korea summit," Kim Eui-kyeom, a spokesman for the presidential Blue House, told a briefing.South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said this month his planned third summit with North Korea's Kim next month would be another step toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and an end to the Korean War.TRIP CANCELED-Trump abruptly canceled his top diplomat’s planned trip to North Korea on Friday, publicly acknowledging for the first time that his effort to get Pyongyang to denuclearize had stalled since his summit with the North's leader.Trump partly blamed China for the lack of progress with North Korea and suggested that talks with Pyongyang.On Sunday, North Korea's state media accused the United States of "double-dealing" and "hatching a criminal plot" but did not mention Pompeo's canceled visit.U.S. intelligence and defense officials have repeatedly expressed doubts about North Korea's willingness to give up its nuclear weapons and they had not expected Pompeo's trip to yield positive results.Mattis declined to comment on the broader diplomatic efforts, deferring to Pompeo's State Department."We will work very closely, as I said, with the secretary of state and what he needs done we will certainly do to reinforce his effort. But at this time, there is no discussion about further suspensions," Mattis said.The traditional U.S. calendar for other major drills does not pick up again until next spring, officials say, which could give diplomats and military planners time.The U.S.-South Korean exercise calendar hits a high point every spring with the Foal Eagle and Max Thunder drills, which take months to plan. It was unclear if any planning for the drills was already taking place.Max Thunder’s air combat exercises so unnerved North Korea this year that it issued threatening statements that nearly scuttled the June summit between Trump and Kim.Foal Eagle is designed to simulate war scenarios and involves ground, air, naval and special operations forces.(Reporting by Mekhla Raina in Bengaluru, John Walcott, David Brunnstrom and Matt Spetalnick in Washington, Cynthia Kim in Seoul; Editing by Mary Milliken and Jonathan Oatis)

Winter is coming: Snow hits in mountains west of Calgary-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-August 29, 2018
There are some disturbing signs that summer in southern Alberta could be coming to a very early end.In the mountains west of Calgary, there's already a fresh dusting of snow in the higher elevations.The webcams at Sunshine Village ski resort in Banff National Park show the hills are starting to turn white long before the summer hikers give way to the boarders and skiers.Alberta's ski resorts usually open at the beginning of November.There was even talk on Twitter of snow falling early Monday morning on the highway heading west into Canmore.Calgary's forecast high Monday was a paltry 12 C with showers, but things are looking more summer-like as the week goes on, with with highs back up into the high teens and low 20s.Snowfall in Calgary at this time of year is not altogether uncommon. On Sept. 8, 2014, Calgary was walloped by a major snowfall that caused power outages all over the city and destroyed or damaged thousands of trees.
Report: Nearly 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico linked to Maria-[Associated Press]-DANICA COTO-YAHOONEWS-August 28, 2018
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Maria killed nearly 3,000 people in Puerto Rico in the desperate, sweltering months after the storm — almost double the previous government estimate — with the elderly and impoverished most affected, according to an independent study ordered by the U.S. territory.The new estimate of 2,975 dead in the six months after Maria devastated the island in September 2017 and knocked out the entire electrical grid was made by researchers with the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University and released Tuesday."We are hopeful that the government will accept this as an official death toll," said Lynn Goldman, dean of the institute. "A lesson from this is that efforts for assistance and recovery need to focus as much as possible on lower-income areas, on people who are older, who are more vulnerable."The finding is almost twice the government's previous estimate, included in a recent report to Congress, that there were 1,427 more deaths in the three months after the storm than the average for the same period over the previous four years.The George Washington researchers said the official count from the hurricane that hit on Sept. 20 is low in part because doctors were not trained in how to certify deaths after a disaster.The number of deaths from September 2017 to February 2018 was up 22 percent from the same period in previous years, Goldman said.The office of Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello did not immediately return a message for comment.Rep. Nydia Velazquez, a New York Democrat, said the report shows the U.S. government failed the people of Puerto Rico."These numbers are only the latest to underscore that the federal response to the hurricanes was disastrously inadequate and, as a result, thousands of our fellow American citizens lost their lives," she said in a statement.There is no national standard on how to count disaster-related deaths. While the National Hurricane Center reports only direct deaths, such as those caused by flying debris or drowning in the floodwaters, some local governments may include indirect deaths, from such things as heart attacks and house fires.Researchers with George Washington said they counted deaths over the span of six months — a much longer period than usual — because so many people were without power during that time."That caused a number of issues," Goldman said, adding that people were forced to exert themselves physically or were exposed to intense heat without fans or air conditioning. "It's fairly striking that you have so many households without electricity for so long. That's unusual in the U.S. after a disaster."Puerto Rico's government released data in June showing increases in several illnesses in 2017 that could have been linked to the storm: Cases of sepsis, a serious bloodstream infection usually caused by bacteria, rose from 708 in 2016 to 835 last year. Deaths from diabetes went from 3,151 to 3,250, and deaths from heart illnesses increased from 5,417 to 5,586.The Rossello administration stopped updating its official death toll of 64 months ago and ordered the independent investigation amid reports that the number was substantially undercounted.The first phase of the study cost $305,000. In the second phase, the researchers plan to focus on the causes of death.The researchers found that the risk of death was 45 percent higher for those living in impoverished communities, and that men older than 65 saw a continuous elevated risk of death.They also reported that physicians and others told them that Puerto Rico's government did not notify them about federal guidelines on how to document deaths related to a major disaster."Others expressed reluctance to relate deaths to hurricanes due to concern about the subjectivity of this determination and about liability," the report said.Researchers said they took into account an 8 percent drop in Puerto Rico's population that occurred in the six months after the storm, when tens of thousands fled because of the damage. They also reviewed mortality data, including deaths by age, sex and municipality of residence, from July 2010 to February 2018.However, they did not share details of the methodology, saying those will be released if the study is published in a scientific journal."We did not cherry-pick, I can promise you," Goldman said. "We used very rigorous methodology."The study also found that government emergency plans in place when Maria hit were not designed for hurricanes greater than a Category 1. Maria was a Category 4 with 154 mph winds. Damage was estimated at more than $100 billion.In addition, neither the Department of Public Safety nor the governor's communications office had any written crisis and emergency communication plans in place, researchers said.They made several recommendations, including that the government train doctors better on filling out death certificates and that it develop a policy for preparing for and responding to major emergencies.The researchers also said the public health system needs to be strengthened, though Goldman said they don't know yet whether those weaknesses contributed to storm-related deaths.She added that she worries whether Puerto Rico, which is trying to restructure a portion of its more than $70 billion public debt amid a 12-year recession, can adopt any of the recommendations."I don't think they have the resources," she said. "That is a very critical issue."

Ex-communist East Germany a hotbed for racist hate crime-Frustration at mass refugee influx exacerbating far-right sentiment, sparking wave of xenophobic violence-By AFP-TOI-AUG 29,18
BERLIN, Germany — Far-right mob violence targeting immigrants in the German city of Chemnitz has again cast an ugly spotlight on the country’ ex-communist east as a hotbed of xenophobia.Extremist hooligans have vented their anger at foreigners, hunting some in the streets, since a German man was stabbed to death in the early hours of Sunday, allegedly by an Iraqi and a Syrian who were arrested Monday.Especially the state of Saxony, where Chemnitz is located, has been a center for resentful opposition against Chancellor Angela Merkel and her 2015 decision to keep open German borders to a mass influx of migrants and refugees.Saxony state capital Dresden has long been an iconic city for German neo-Nazis embittered by the Allies’ aerial bombing of the Baroque city center in World War II.The city in recent years became the birthplace of the so-called PEGIDA movement, short for “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident.”“We are the people,” the demonstrators chant regularly, co-opting the slogan of rallies before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and suggesting a righteous revolt against an out-of-touch political elite and the “lying press.”Earlier this month, Dresden again made headlines when an anti-Merkel PEGIDA follower argued with a TV team, which was then obstructed by police — a scandal that worsened when it turned out the protester was an off-duty police employee.The anti-immigration and anti-Islam Alternative for Germany (AfD) party also made some of its strongest gains in Saxony and the four other states that until 1990 were part of Soviet-allied East Germany.Small towns such as Heidenau and Freital have earned nationwide notoriety as neo-Nazis and angry residents have hurled abuse at people fleeing war and misery — and rocks at police sent to protect those seeking a safe haven.-Xenophobic violence-State leaders have cautioned against “stigmatizing” the east, which despite a multi-billion-euro infrastructure overhaul still lags the former West in wealth, jobs and opportunities.Yet a spate of arson attacks against refugee shelters, and swastikas scrawled on their walls, have brought back dark memories of xenophobic violence that flared at the time of Germany’s reunification over a quarter-century ago.In the turbulent early 1990s — when East Germans got their first taste of democracy, but also faced economic collapse and uncertainty — the frustration exploded in sometimes deadly mob attacks against asylum shelters.Historians point at other roots of entrenched far-right sentiment in the east, the only part of Germany where the neo-Nazi National Party of Germany (NPD) has seats in many town halls.While West Germany was credited with dealing relatively openly with the Nazi era and Holocaust, the East German regime resisted “de-Nazification” in the Cold War and painted the Third Reich as an outgrowth of Western capitalism.It termed the Berlin Wall it erected in 1961 to stop a massive popular exodus an “anti-fascist” rampart.The foreign-born population was minimal in East Germany, with the largest group some 60,000 laborers from “socialist brother state” Vietnam, who would bear the brunt of racist attacks after the Wall fell.It was the disenchanted right-wing extremist skinhead youth culture that, in the eastern state of Thuringia, spawned three neo-Nazis whose bloody crimes, when they finally emerged in 2011, would shock Germany.The trio formed the National Socialist Underground — a secret extremist cell that laid bombs and shot dead nine people with migrant backgrounds as well as a policewoman, in post-war Germany’s worst racist killing spree.
