Tropical depression may form in Caribbean Thursday Thu Oct 12, 7:32 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A low-pressure system in the northeastern Caribbean Sea could develop into a tropical depression over the next day or so, the National Hurricane Center said in an outlook issued Thursday.The system, moving northwestward at about 10 to 15 miles per hour, could cause some flooding and mudslides over mountainous terrain. It was located about 50 miles south of Nevis and St. Kitts.The weather models split on what the system will do over the next several days.A couple of the models projected the storm would turn west across the Caribbean, remaining south of the Greater Antilles, and heading toward Nicaragua and Honduras.

Other models showed the storm continuing northwest toward Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.The Greater Antilles include Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Puerto Rico.If the system ultimately strengthens into a tropical storm, packing maximum wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph, the NHC would name it Joyce.

Pagasa expects 11 more typhoons to hit RP
by A. Lumaque

Roxas City (5 October) At least nine of the fourteen typhoons which hit the country as of October 1 this year were registered for the period July to September based on the records of the local Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).The Philippines is a country prone to natural calamities and it is for this reason that the government is set to institutionalize a nationwide disaster preparedness network to deal with various calamities that visit the country every year.The month of July during the quarter has the most number of typhoons which include Esther, Florita, Glenda, and Henry. Other tropical storms listed in the registry of PAGASA for the period are Inday, Juan, Katring, Luis, and Milenyo.Completing the 14 typhoons in the record are Neneng, Agaton, Basyang, Caloy, and Doming.

PAGASA Weather Forecaster Harry Dolfo said that typhoons Caloy and Doming affected the province of Capiz when it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on May 9 and June 24, respectively.Dolfo said that 11 more typhoons expected to enter the PAR are Ompong, Paeng, Queenie, Reming, Seniang, Tomas, Usman, Venus, Waldo, Yayang, and Zeny.A list of auxiliary names is already in place if more than 25 typhoons will cross the country for 2006, added Dolfo.Meanwhile, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has directed the NDCC to work closely with the LGUs in expanding appropriate disaster response drills and creating rescue teams in all the landslide and flashflood-prone barangays in the country, and with the Department of Education bringing more schools into the loop of preparedness.

The President is encouraged by the success of the national earthquake drills and wants the same level of community readiness in the case of landslides and flashfloods spawned by typhoons and heavy rains.Government programs and actions preventing the degradation of the environment and the removal of potential public hazards during disasters like billboards will back up this disaster preparedness network.

Thai floods to cause havoc until end of October Wed Oct 11, 10:16 AM ET

BANGKOK (AFP) Severe flooding has already killed 39 people in Thailand and will continue to wreak havoc until the end of October as heavy rains were expected.The current low pressure will continue to influence the weather and that will cause heavy rains to continue until the end of this month,Smith Dharmasaroj, the chairman of the National Disaster Warning Center, told AFP.

Flooding caused by heavy rain in the wake of Typhoon Xangsane has killed 39 people since late August and affected up to two million people in 46 provinces, mostly in central and northern Thailand.Some 17 provinces, including Bangkok, were still flooded Wednesday. But floodwater had subsided in 29 other provinces.The capital saw some of its worst flooding this year late Tuesday, with major roads turned into rivers and other, dry streets gridlocked as people tried to avoid rising waters.

The Royal Irrigation Department said that the country's revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej had allowed flood waters to be diverted onto his private land in Ayutthaya province in a bid to spare Bangkok.Ayutthaya has also been badly hit, but following the king's initiative, villagers there agreed to allow the authorities to divert water onto their farmland to reduce the flood danger posed to Bangkok.The move has remarkably reduced a large volume of overflow to the capital,said the Royal Irrigation Department's director general, Samart Chokanapitak.One Ayutthaya resident said he did not mind the province shouldering overflow water if it helped Bangkok. But he said that farmers must be paid compensation if they suffered as a result.

The whole province has been devastated by the floods,said 43-year-old Apichet Sathapornamornvuth.The devastation to farmland had pushed up vegetable prices, mainly in flood-hit areas, according to the Ministry of Commerce.Prices of some vegetables and fruit have risen after the flood destroyed farmland but the increase was not significant and there is no shortage so far,said Siriphol Yodmuangcharoen, the director general of the Internal Trade Department.In neighboring Myanmar, at least 10 people were killed and three are missing as the worst floods in recent memory swept through the area around the central city of Mandalay.

Top EU diplomat says UN should act on North Korea
11.10.2006 - 17:57 CET | By Helena Spongenberg

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS /EU foreign affairs chief Javier Solana has urged UN action following North Korea's controversial nuclear tests earlier this week, saying it could unleash a global arms race.It is an act which we condemn and protest against most vigorously, Mr Solana told the European Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday (11 October), following Monday's nuclear test in North Korea near the border with China.He said that the nuclear test is a threat to the region and constitutes a hostile act to security and stability to the whole world, adding it could lead to further consequences in accelerating the arms race around the world.The EU currently has five members France, the UK, Denmark, Greece and Slovakia in the UN security council which is seeking an agreement on what action should be taken against Pyongyang.

Mr Solana said reactions from the Asian region and from the UN veto powers had been responsible, adding that even China has made constructive comments on a resolution on North Korea and supports it.The security council has to act, Mr Solana stressed, explaining that the international community would get confused if there were no consequences in terms of sanctions like there might be against Iran for its refusal to give up its nuclear enrichment.

MEPs seek room for talks

It is no coincidence that the North Koreans test their weapons just after the South Korean foreign minister is elected secretary general of the United Nations,said German socialist MEP Martin Schulz.We have to try to read between the lines of this dictator's actions. We have to see where there is scope for talks,he stressed.We must be firm in our principles, Hungarian liberal MEP Istvan Szent-Ivany said however.

With such irresponsible acts, they put at risk international support and cooperation without which the political and social structure of their country will inevitably collapse.But the international human rights group, Human Rights Watch,
has urged the international community not to suspend emergency food aid to North Korea as part of sanctions against the country.

It must distinguish between the North Korean government and ordinary citizens, said Sophie Richardson from the group. Further restraints on food aid will only make ordinary North Koreans suffer more.She explained that up to one third of North Korea's population has been dependent on foreign food aid since the mid-1990s.EU foreign affairs commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner echoeing the remarks said the test bombing must be met with a smart response, to hit the government but not the people.I would like to maintain the humanitarian assistance,she said, explaining that the European Union has donated €345 million in aid since 1995.

Fresh threats from Pyongyang

Meanwhile, the world's new ninth nuclear state has threatened more nuclear tests and said that additional sanctions imposed on it would be considered an act of war.

In Pyongyang, the second in command, Kim Yong-nam, said whether or not North Korea
conducted more tests depended on Washington.The issue of future nuclear tests is linked to US policy toward our country,Kyodo news agency quoted Mr Yong-nam as saying, according to press reports.If the United States continues to take a hostile attitude and apply pressure on us in various forms, we will have no choice but to take physical steps to deal with that,he added.A draft resolution put forward by the US on Tuesday (10 October) proposed a range of sanctions against North Korea, including a halt to trading in material that could be used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, an end to financial transactions which could be used to support nuclear proliferation, cargo inspections and a ban on the import of luxury goods.

Germany Seeks to Revive EU Constitution by 2009, Merkel Says
By Rainer Buergin

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) The German government will seek to revive the European Union's constitution and have it in place before the next European parliamentary elections in 2009, Chancellor Angela Merkel said. Germany assumes the six-month rotating presidency of the European Union on Jan. 1, and naturally the constitutional treaty will be on the agenda, Merkel said today after a meeting of the German Cabinet attended by European Commission President Jose Barroso. We need a constitutional treaty and we need it before the next European election due in mid-2009. That's why we set ourselves a timeframe, Merkel said. The German presidency should have the goal of facilitating agreement on a roadmap, a timeframe, a way to proceed, and I want us to be very ambitious in engaging this goal. German efforts to revive the constitution may ease concerns about further European political integration raised after the rejection of the EU constitution last year in referendums held by France and the Netherlands, two of the bloc's founding members. The votes weakened the euro and left the EU with a decision- making system that Barroso says will make further expansion impossible after Bulgaria and Romania join in 2007, bringing the bloc to 27 countries. Failure to revive the project may weaken bonds within a region that's set to stretch to the Black Sea and Syria's border.

Reflection

A period of reflection on the stalled project will end with Germany's presidency. The process of drawing up a new rulebook will last at least until 2009, EU leaders have said. Of course, the constitution won't be signed by all states at the end of our six-month presidency, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in an interview with today's Bild Zeitung. But I'm optimistic that we'll have a clear schedule on which we can continue our efforts for the EU constitution. There are great expectations regarding Germany's presidency,Barroso told the press conference today. I think it is not fair to put all the weight, all the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of Germany. Merkel's EU chairmanship will coincide with the election of a successor to French President Jacques Chirac, allowing a new French government to decide whether to try again for ratification or work with the rest of the EU to shape a new treaty.To contact the reporter on this story: Rainer Buergin at rbuergin1@bloomberg.net .

EU aid to PA expands to $816 million
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Oct. 11, 2006

The European Union said Wednesday it was giving $816 million in aid to benefit 160,000 Palestinian families this year, expanding the funding program that bypasses the Hamas-led government. European experts agreed to boost the international aid program overseen by the World Bank to cover 60,000 more families in the Palestinian territories from the 100,000 families now receiving help under the program, EU spokeswoman Emma Udwin said. The fund offers a $339 monthly allowance to poorer Palestinian families, pensioners and civic workers, whose paychecks disappeared when international donors halted direct aid payments after the militant Hamas group won Palestinian elections.

We are talking about quite a large amount of money, Udwin said. "Despite direct aid to the Palestinian Authority having been suspended .... the EU's contribution remains high, higher than in an average year. The experts also backed a decision by top international donors to extend the funding program until the end of the year, she said. The European Commission has given $414 million this year to the program, above its average yearly aid of $314 million for the Palestinians. The rest of the program funds were coming from some of the 25 EU member countries, the United States and others. The Commission said last month it had started to pay social allowances to 40,000 Palestinian families, coming on top of spending for 11,500 health workers who are no longer paid and pensioners. Regular welfare payments and aid to the Palestinian Authority stopped in February, as international donors demanded the Hamas-led government renounce violence and recognize Israel. The special funding program was set up in June to direct funds to three key areas support for health services, utilities and social allowances while bypassing the Hamas-led government's coffers.

The Quartet group of Mideast peacemakers the United States, the EU, Russia and the United Nations agreed last month to expand the scope of the program. The program has delivered more than 2 million liters (500,000 gallons) of fuel to supply power for hospitals and water in the Gaza Strip.

U.N. Security Council agrees on need for sanctions against Iran

RELATED STORIESVIENNA, Austria (AP) The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council agreed Tuesday to start working on U.N. sanctions against Iran next week but failed to bridge differences on how harsh the penalties should be, diplomats and officials said.They told The Associated Press that while the U.S. called for broad sanctions to punish Iran's defiance in pursuing its nuclear program, Russian and Chinese representatives at a top-level Vienna meeting favored less severe measures.The diplomats and government officials demanded anonymity in exchange for discussing the confidential meeting of the five Security Council countries and Germany the six powers whose repeated attempts to entice Iran to enter negotiations finally broke down last week over Tehran's refusal to give up uranium enrichment.

Reflecting the importance of the meeting, Russia, Britain, France and Germany sent top negotiators directly answerable to their foreign ministers, while the U.S. and China were represented by their chief representatives to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns participated via video hookup.One of the diplomats, who had been briefed on the substance of the meeting, said that while Burns had urged broad sanctions such as a total ban on missile and nuclear technology sales the Russians and Chinese backed prohibitions of selected items as a first step.As well, he said, the Chinese and Russian envoys called for renewed negotiations with the Iranians in parallel to working on sanctions to punish Tehran for defying a Security Council demand that it freeze enrichment, a possible pathway to nuclear arms.

Burns acknowledged the request but did not say whether the Americans favored a renewed attempt to engage Iran in negotiations following repeated failures to coax it into agreeing to stop its enrichment activities, he said.The differences reflected continued divisions over how harshly to penalize the Islamic republic for ignoring a Security Council deadline to stop all enrichment activities by the end of August. Russia and China, which have strategic and economic interests in Iran, have recently swung behind the Americans and Europeans in agreeing to the need for sanctions but have publicly opposed attempts to make them too severe.

All agree for the need for sanctions but there are problems with how harsh they should be,said one of the diplomats, whose country is accredited to the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA.He said the meeting did not discuss North Korea and its claim to have tested a nuclear bomb, but all participants agreed juggling two nuclear crises complicated international nonproliferation efforts.
