Cleanup underway in wake of violent B.C. storm
Updated Thu. Nov. 16 2006 12:49 PM ET,CTV.ca News Staff

A massive repair and cleanup effort is in full swing in the wake of a powerful storm that left thousands of people without power in southwestern B.C. Violent winds and heavy rains battered the province, leaving entire towns and thousands of British Columbians still without power Thursday after the Wednesday storm downed power lines and toppled trees. It is still quite windy in some areas and we're bracing for more rain and wind today,Capt. Rob Jones-Cook, of the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, told Canada AM Thursday. B.C. Hydro estimated that as many as 200,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island region. On Thursday about 500 repair crews were working on repairing power lines across the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island.

Most of the outages were in Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack on the B.C. mainland, as well as Port Alberni, Campbell River, Parksville and Qualicum on Vancouver Island. Crews worked to reopen road links after floods, mudslides and downed trees and power lines cut off access. In the Alberni Valley, the only highway connecting the region to the rest of the province was shut down Wednesday, isolating the entire community. Emergencies shelters were set up for residents needing a place to sleep Thursday after many homes were completely flooded. By Thursday, Mayor Ken McRae said the situation had improved dramatically, and Hydro crews had been able to reach the town. In another incident Wednesday, the storm apparently helped knock
down a steel-frame building under construction in Vancouver.

No one was injured in the incident because the building collapsed as the workers were on a break.

In one community near Horseshoe Bay, about 50 town homes and condominiums were evacuated because of crashing trees. Officers, when they were in the process of evacuating people, were seeing the trees come down around them. Luckily, everyone has vacated the area, Sgt. Paul Skelton of the West Vancouver Police told CTV News. The storm dumped between 37 and 80 millimetres of rain on the Lower Mainland, bringing the rainfall total for November to 235 millimetres, and easily surpassing the monthly average of 181 millimetres of rain. The storm put the province on pace to break the 1983 record of 351 millimetres. Environment Canada warned that southeast winds of up to 100 kilometres an hour are sweeping through coastal sections of the province. Five rivers are also in danger of flooding on Vancouver Island. They include the Cowichan, Chemainus, Englishman and Tsolum Rivers on the east side of the Island and the Gold River on the west side.

The weather agency also reported that an intense frontal system over the eastern pacific will continue to intensify and hit the south and central coast, spreading heavy rain and strong winds. In the ski resort of Whistler, about a 90-minute drive north of Vancouver, the precipitation is falling as snow good news for ski operators preparing for the season to open on Saturday.

Meanwhile, wind gusts forced B.C.Ferries to cancel or delay sailings on major routes connecting the B.C. Mainland to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Harbour Air has also cancelled flights from Vancouver to Victoria and Nanaimo, although West Coast Air has kept its flights between Vancouver and Victoria.Helijet service across Georgia Strait is not affected.

Severe Weather Kills at Least 6 in N. Carolina
By CHRISTINE HAUSER,Published: November 16, 2006

At least six people were killed today in North Carolina in severe weather generated by a pair of storm systems that moved across the Southeast and spawned at least 12 tornadoes, along with fierce winds and torrential rainfall.Patty McQuillan, a North Carolina state emergency management official, said today that there were six confirmed deaths, among them residents near the Riegelwood community. Reports by the local news media said the figure could be as high as nine deaths.Some of those killed were from a community in which mobile homes were destroyed by what was believed to be a tornado, she said. Bodies were being recovered from the rubble, power lines were down and a major highway was blocked by storm debris.

On Wednesday, violent weather killed at least one person in Louisiana and injured dozens there and in three other states.

The storm that swept through North Carolina was part of that system, Tom Bradshaw, a meteorologist with the Southern Regional Headquarters of the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, said today.Mr. Bradshaw said that the storm progressed to eastern North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and that parts of it will move into the Northeast tonight and then migrate offshore.The death in Louisiana was a man whose mobile home near Greensburg was struck by a tornado, according to Bill Doran, chief of operations for the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. Three of the injured on Wednesday were preschool children, who were among 31 children and four adults who survived after a tornado demolished the building that housed the Lambert Learning Center, a day care center in Montgomery.

Hearing tornado sirens, a teacher at the center moved the group into a sheltered area below a floor of offices, which proved to be the only part of the building that was not flattened when the storm tore through. The building also housed a skating rink that was not in use. We were fortunate that these systems were pretty well forecast, pretty well advertised, said Mr. Bradshaw, That probably minimized the loss of life.

In Alabama, once the storm had churned out of the region, teams were able to assess the damage on the ground and from the air, officials said today. In other areas, winds and tornadoes slung big trucks across Interstate 40 in Arkansas, seriously injuring a driver who had to be cut from the cab of his overturned 18-wheeler, said Jim Harris, a spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. Rescuers also plucked several people out of flash-flood waters there, Mr. Harris said. Brenda Goodman contributed reporting for this article.

Storms blank power for Washington and Oregon customers

UNDATED A new wave of Pacific Northwest storms has blacked out tens of thousands of customers in Washington state.Rain and wind blowing in off Puget Sound set a rainfall record in Seattle even as emergency crews were setting out to assess damage from last week's flooding.The earlier flooding killed two people and forced hundreds from their homes.The new storms unleashed less rain. But winds gusting to more than 70 miles-an-hour blew down trees, closed roads and bridges, and left some 150-thousand homes and businesses in the dark.To the south in Oregon, high winds also blew out the power around Portland. But most of those customers' lights are back on.Associated Press.

Somalia: Up to 1 Million People Threatened By Flooding in Southern Somalia, UN Warns UN News Service (New York),November 15, 2006

Up to 1 million people in southern Somalia could be directly affected by the worst flooding in 50 years, deepening a humanitarian crisis already exacerbated by renewed fighting in a country that has not had a functioning national government since 1991,
according to United Nations emergency relief officials.

The flooding is particularly worrying, given security constraints and otherobstacles to access, including flooding itself, that have recently reduced the operational space for humanitarian actors, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia Eric Laroche said in his latest update, noting that 50,000 people were displaced in Hiran region over the weekend.The Shabelle and Juba Valley river basins are potentially facing one of the worst floods in recent history, with some stations recording more than six times the normal rainfall. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) early warning system projects that up to 1 million people could be directly affected throughout the river basins over the coming weeks.

Over the last weekend, the Shabelle River in Hiran hit a 50-year flood level, submerging the river gauging site and the main bridge and inundating the entire town of Beletweyne.Given the situation in Hiran, communities further downstream will also be at high risk as the water surge reaches Middle and Lower Shabelle, Mr. Laroche said.In these regions, we expect the situation to get worse.

Abnormal rains are expected to continue into early 2007 in the Horn of Africa region, where hundreds of thousands of people have also already fled their homes in Ethiopia and Kenya.To date, food relief, shelter materials and tens of thousands of treated mosquito nets and sandbags have been provided by the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the UN World Health Organization (WHO) and a number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including CARE and CONCERN.

Contingency planning for a worst case scenario of concurrent floods and widespread conflict is underway, Mr. Laroche said. Further fighting between the Union of Islamic Courts, which has seized control of Mogadishu, the capital, and the transitional government in Baidoa would disrupt the ability of communities to cope and exacerbate an already precarious food situation.With several primary roads currently impassable, flights are in many cases the only means of transporting aid supplies, but these now hinge on immediate air access from Kenya to Somalia. Earlier this month the Kenyan government suspended all flights into Somalia, but Mr. Laroche is optimistic that the ban will be lifted for humanitarian flights.Across the Horn of Africa, thousands of poor farming families now find themselves sleeping outside in the cold, exposed to malaria and other diseases, amid serious concerns that the death toll could increase rapidly.

In north-eastern Kenya flooding has engulfed camps where the UN is caring for tens of thousands of Somalis who have sought refuge there from fighting in their own homeland, uprooting more than 78,000 people and killing two.

UNICEF's main concern in regards to health is the spread of waterborne diseases, the agency's Emergency Programme Officer Susan Ngongi said. Key among them are cholera, dysentery and acute watery diarrhoea.UNICEF is distributing water-purification tablets and oral rehydration packs to treat diarrhoeal dehydration, as well as emergency health kits, and WFP has airlifted emergency food supplies to the camps.

Pattern Overview into Next Week
Thursday, November 16, 2006
Here is a breakdown on the overall pattern and the implications into next week..........

1. The endless train of Pacific storms slamming into BC and the Northwest U.S. will continue into next week, but each storm following the Sunday storm will be a little colder than the previous, as the jet stream begins to push a little farther to the south through the period, which sends the storms on a more southward track, which allows the colder air across the interior to maintain itself, leading to lower snow levels. A moist flow off the Pacific will keep much of coastal BC cloudy and wet Friday. The next big storm will come Sunday, and I expect another round of strong winds and heavy rainfall for western BC right through Sunday night.

Parts of western Vancouver Island and up through the central BC coast could get another 80-150 mm of rain! The Vancouver region is probably looking at another 25-40 mm of rain. There will probably be a temporary break Monday, then another fairly large storm for Tuesday. By the end of next week, Whistler/Blackcomb Mountain will be buried in snow! I wonder if the amount of snow for this month will set a new record on the mountain? I just do not know what the record is, since it is not posted on their website. By the way, Vancouver is now up to 237 mm (9.33 inches) of rain so far this month. That is 316% of normal. Victoria, BC has recieved 227 mm (8.93 inches) of rain this month. Normal rainfall at Victoria for the entire month of November is 147 mm (5.80 inches).

2. Whitehorse, Yukon Territory has failed to get above -20 celsius (-4 F) over the past 3 days, and may not do so through the end of the weekend, as the arctic air remains deeply entrenched. The normal high on this date at Whitehorse is -6 celsius (21 F), while the normal low is -13 celsius (9 F), so you can see how impressive this cold airmass has been. I see no break in the very cold weather across this region through next week.

3. It will turn progressively colder across much of Ontario and Quebec this weekend and into early next week, nothing that unusual, but certainly noticeably colder than it has been. This trend will be reversed starting the middle of next week and into the following weekend as the jet stream lifts northward and allows mild air to stream in on southwesterly winds.

4. The overall pattern seems to favor a wet period from eastern Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. I see a couple of storms in your future.

A relatively minor rainstorm coming across Newfoundland later Sunday and Sunday night. A second, potentially strong storm could track from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland Tuesday and Tuesday night. The bulk of this storm looks like it will be rain, but colder air will not be too far to the west, so parts of New Brunswick could see some snow out of that one.

5. Some of that real cold air up across the Yukon and northern BC may slide southward into the Edmonton, Alberta region sometime during the middle of next week.

By the the way, the ankle is feeling much better now, but the bruising is quite impressive all around the side of my foot. I will be going on vacation through the end of next week. I will try to write something Friday, before I leave for Orlando, Florida during the evening. Dave Houk will be filling in for me during my absence. Brett.Updated: 11/16/2006 5:59 PM

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Olmert: The Time Has Come to Act Against Iran
By Yechiel Spira (INN)

The nuclear threat from Iran remains atop of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s agenda as he calls upon the international community to act.In his White House meeting this week, Mr. Olmert focused on the threat resulting from Iran’s continued nuclear enrichment towards constructing an atom bomb. While America is sensitive to Israel’s concerns, the European community and Russia are not as anxious to act against Tehran, preferring to take a more diplomatic approach, opposing stiff American sanctions.Speaking to a Los Angeles Jewish forum on Tuesday, the prime minister called upon moderate Arab nations, too, to act against Iran, warning that the point of no return has arrived.

Earlier in the week, Vice Premier Shimon Peres stated that a nuclear Iran is a threat to everyone, including Russia. He warned of the instability that will result if Tehran is permitted to achieve nuclear independence. Addressing the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities of North America, known as the GA, Mr. Olmert stated that a nuclear Iran will result in a level of instability that has never been known before. Calling for a coalition of moderate Arab nations, Olmert stated such a coalition can and must act to prevent such a level of instability in the region by directing efforts against radical Islamic elements.On the heels of his White House meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush, Olmert praised him as a true friend of Israel who shares Jerusalem’s concerns and is committed to preventing Iran from moving ahead with its nuclear agenda. The prime minister stated Israel and America see eye-to-eye on the Iranian issue.

The prime minister’s concerns regarding Iran are echoed by others in Israel, including much of the political left. It is widely agreed that a nuclear Iran would pose unprecedented challenges to Israel, not to mention threatening her very existence.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to use every platform available to him to call for the eradication of Israel. At the same time, he insists his nuclear program is for peaceful medical purposes. Ahmadinejad continues to defend Tehran’s right to develop a nuclear weapon, largely supported by Russia, which continues to counter American efforts to impose stiff sanctions on Iran.In defiance of United Nations Security Council decisions, Tehran scientists forge ahead with their nuclear program. Ahmadinejad has often threatened that any thought of a military attack by western countries would be met with a swift and painful retaliation. Vice Premier Peres recently pointed out that in Iran’s case, even stiff economic sanctions will have little impact, as national poverty is a way of life and most citizens would never realize a difference following sanctions. Peres hinted that a more aggressive approach must be taken.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships;
and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

European Nations Work on Solution to Palestinian Problem

by Hana Levi Julian (INN)

The heads of three European nations are working on a new five-point peace plan for the Middle East. Increased rocket attacks against Israel by Palestinian Authority terrorists and an IDF artillery mishap in Gaza that killed 20 PA civilians have underscored the need for a regional peace plan, said the European leaders.Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced Thursday that his country is planning to sponsor a new Middle East initiative together with France and Italy. We cannot remain impassive in the face of the horror that continues to unfold before our eyes, he said.Zapatero told reporters at a news conference following his meeting with French President Jacques Chirac in the town of Girona, near the Spanish border with France, that peace in the Middle East means to a large extent peace on the international scene.

Chirac agreed, saying that all three countries have the same vision of problems and concerns over the Middle East, and particularly Palestine.He added that the three nations have the sensitivity, the same interests and the same morals, which might be useful in working out a solution to the Palestinian problem.Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi told reporters in Rome that his country fully supported the initiative. I think the European countries present in the area have an obligation to look for a way to get out of this situation, he said.

The five-point plan is comprised of the following elements:
• An immediate ceasefire between Palestinian Authority terrorists and Israel
• Formation of a PA unity government that is capable of achieving international recognition
• An exchange of prisoners, including IDF Cpl Gilad Shalit (kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Gaza on June 25th) as well as IDF soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev (kidnapped by Hizbullah terrorists from southern Lebanon on July 12th)
• Talks between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
• An international peacekeeping mission in Gaza to monitor a ceasefire once an agreement is reached.

The plan will be presented at a meeting of the European Union in December, when Zapatero hopes to persuade Britain and Germany to throw their support behind the plan.Last Update: 19:42 November 16, 2006

Most Popular Names: Uri and Noa

by Hillel Fendel (INN)

The next most popular girl's names last year were Roni, Yael, Adi, Sarah, Yovel, Hila and Michal.

The next most popular boy's names last year were Ro'i, Amit, Yosef, Moshe and Yehonatan. Daniel, the most popular boy's name two years ago, dropped last year to 13th place.Three percent of the Jewish girls who were born in 2005 were given the name Noa, while 2.1% of the boys were named Uri. It has become increasingly popular to share names between boys and girls. Among the names given to both genders are Noam, Lior, Or, Shachar, Tal, Osher, and more.

Other numbers published this week by the Central Bureau of Statistics in honor of the upcoming International Children's Day include:
* One-third of Israel's population in 2005 was children under age 17 - a total of 2,326,400.
* The highest proportion of children - 63% - lives in the hareidi-religious Yesha town of Beitar Illit. Some Bedouin villages have similar numbers.
* 51.4% of the babies born last year were boys.
* 92% of children live with both their parents.
* Just over 69% of the children are Jewish, while just under 24% are Moslems.
* 143,900 babies were born, including 70% Jews and 23.7% Moslems - thus that the proportion of Jewish births increased slightly.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

China's temperature to raise 1.7 degrees Celsius by 2030
(Xinhua) Updated: 2006-11-14 10:04

The average temperature in China will rise by 1.7 degrees Celsius by 2030 and 2.2 degrees by 2050, according to an environment advisory body.China has been experiencing evident temperature rise in the past 50 years under global warming, with east and northeast China suffering the largest rise of 0.4 to 0.8 of a degree Celsius every ten years, said the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED). According to this international advisory council on environment and development to the Chinese government, there has been a decrease in precipitation, with reduced runoff in most Chinese rivers.

Dong Guangrong, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said glaciers covering the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, which accounted for 47 percent of China's total glacier coverage, were shrinking at an annual rate of seven percent. Although melting would increase river flow in a short period of time, downstream rivers would gradually dry up once glaciers disappear, leading to more droughts, desertification and sandstorms. Global warming will worsen water shortages in northeast and northwest China, the council warned.

This summer, hot weather and a severe drought in southwest China left more than 18 million people short of drinking water, while hundreds died in typhoons and floods along the coast, with millions of hectares of cropland damaged. Meteorological disasters take about three to six percent off China's gross domestic product every year, according to Qin Dahe, director of the China Meteorological Administration.

The CCICED predicts China will suffer direct losses of 100 billion to 300 billion yuan (12 billion to 36 billion U.S. dollars) in the next 10 to 20 years. Scientific studies show that most of the earth's warming over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities, which have increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that cause warming.

If China could effectively control greenhouse gases emissions, precipitation was likely to increase in its major river valleys over the next 60 years, said Dong Wenjie, director general of the National Climate Center with the China Meteorological Administration. China, with a relatively high emission volume of carbon dioxide per unit of gross domestic product, has written effective control of greenhouse gases into its 11th Five-Year Program (2006-2010). In 2002, China's carbon dioxide emission totaled 4.08 billion tons, ranking second in the world after the United States.

Does Europe need an army?
William Pfaff / International Tribune Media Services,Published: November 10, 2006

PARIS: The leader of Germany's Social Democratic Party, Kurt Beck, has proposed that the European Union build a unified army of 100,000 soldiers under strictly European command.This sort of thing has been suggested in the past in several variants, but not by Germany. Beck's proposal is also interesting in its timing. Germany's army under NATO command is taking casualties in Afghanistan, and demonstrating the macabre mood of young men sent to fight wars they don't understand.Since World War II, the German Army has been under the NATO commander in chief and the NATO staff, which for practical purposes has meant American command. What Kurt Beck is suggesting is a European command and general staff under which German forces would serve.

In 2000, the European Union decided to create a so-called rapid reaction force capable of action within a periphery of 4,000 kilometers from Brussels. This caused a great deal of annoyance among American and NATO officials, who saw in it a perverse duplication of effort, as NATO was also supposed to acquire such a reaction force. Or to be exact, it was seen as a troublesome nonduplication of effort, since the troops assigned to both were largely the same.

Counting the vote, badlyThe Europeans were reacting to the fiasco of the European-led UN Protection Force in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, never given a mandate sufficient even to protect itself, much less the population, and which was treated with contempt by the Bosnian Serbs.The British, French and Dutch eventually formed their own intervention force with heavy artillery, and called in NATO air forces, and short work was made of the Bosnian Serbs. This, however, was followed by a Dayton Conference, which separated the combatants but left nearly everything else unsettled.

NATO, meanwhile, was initially treated as irrelevant by the new Bush administration, but after Afghanistan its utility was discovered as a military auxiliary willing to take on jobs America didn't want to do. Hence its current deployment in Afghanistan to fight Taliban peasant soldiers trying to retake their Pashtun homeland, a mission whose validity has never been seriously demonstrated, or possibly even analyzed.It is most unlikely that any 100,000-man European army will be formed in the foreseeable future, although an EU military planning staff goes to work in January (when Germany, coincidentally, takes over the rotating EU presidency).

The EU army's significance is to exist as a proposal - a proposal from Germany. Beck said that such a force should be linked to NATO as a partner, but not following or adhering to the United States, and this army, rather than being a threatening army, should be a global peace power, whatever that is.

However, the Atlanticist members of the EU don't need to be told the time of day. President Lech Kaczynski of Poland immediately said yes to the European army, but only as part of NATO. Britain would unquestionably agree that such an army is a threat to NATO. But that's what it's for: to replace NATO - when the time comes.The United States is not considered a very reliable friend in Western Europe these days. This is the popular sentiment:

European elites still live in an Atlanticist past, just as they were living in the past last year when they discovered from the referenda on a new constitution that the public did not want EU expansion, more immigration and more market economics.New poll statistics show that while 75 percent of the European Commission has faith in U.S. world leadership, only 39 percent of the EU public does. Only 59 percent of the public thinks NATO necessary to European security. Washington is thought mad to consider attacking Iran.

But the distrust seems mutual, even in unexpected places. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton now is attacking President George W. Bush for outsourcing American Iran policy to Europe - to Britain, France and Germany - and she demands that the United States stop Iran's assumed nuclear ambitions by whatever methods are necessary: All options on the table.You might have thought from the European press coverage of the U.S. midterm elections that they would want a Democrat elected America's president in 2008.

Not with that policy.

Olmert: No quick fix against Kassams
By HERB KEINON AND YAAKOV KATZ

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Thursday there were no quick-fix solutions to completely shut down the Kassam rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. Speaking to reporters on his way back from Los Angeles to Israel, Olmert said that while there were many ideas about how to deal with the rocket fire, there is not one thing you can do and the Kassam attacks will stop. He added that even Operation Defensive Shield, launched after the worst month of Palestinian terrorism in March 2002, did not put an end to all terrorism from Judea and Samaria. Olmert's comments came a day after he said that Israel's military actions in Gaza would continue, following Wednesday's fatal Kassam barrage on Sderot that killed one woman and seriously injured two others. Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered security chiefs on Thursday to begin preparing new and innovative operational plans for action against Gaza-based Kassam rocket infrastructure.

We are continuing our policy of pressure on the South, Peretz said during a meeting with Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Yuval Diskin and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz, adding that he expected internal changes within the Palestinian Authority that would bring to power and reinforce moderate elements capable of preventing the rocket attacks. If this doesn't happen, Peretz warned, Israel will deal a painful and heavy blow to the terrorists. Peretz ordered the IDF Home Front Command to speed up the construction of reinforced roofs for schools and public institutions.

The Defense Minister specifically ordered the IDF to reinforce the Sderot welfare center which provides assistance to residents suffering from shock following Kassam attacks. Olmert said he viewed the continued attacks on Sderot very gravely. We have been taking action for a long period of time. Since June 360 terrorists have been killed in our actions against terror. There is no doubt that the attacks yesterday in Sderot and Ashkelon were difficult. Our activities will continue and correspond to the information we have and on the circumstances.

Olmert said that the Palestinian security apparatus could stop the rocket attacks if they had the will, and that he expected more determined action from Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Regarding the smuggling of arms from Egypt into Gaza, Olmert said that Israel was doing a great deal on this, although it was not always successful. He said the Egyptians were also taking action, but not always as effective as needed, and that ways were being discussed about how to upgrade the anti-smuggling operations. Olmert said that he and US President George Bush see eye to eye on the key issues regarding Iran and the Palestinians, and would not reveal details of his 45-minute private discussion with the President. One possibility that the defense establishment is considering is allowing the Palestinian Bader Brigade, located in Jordan, to enter the Gaza Strip and reinforce PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Presidential Guard. If the Bader Brigade is allowed into Gaza, the Palestinians have said that they would deploy the well-trained soldiers in the northern Gaza in an effort to curb the rocket fire.

Pre-dawn Thursday, the IDF retaliated to a Kassam rocket barrage on Wednesday, in which one person was killed and two others were injured seriously, and carried out air strikes against terror targets in the Gaza Strip. IAF aircraft bombed a building in Gaza City which the IDF said was being used as a weapons storehouse. The occupants were given warning by telephone prior to the strike, and there were no reports of wounded.Approximately an hour later, two Palestinians were reported wounded when the IAF struck two Hamas-owned structures in the Jabalya refugee camp. As in the Gaza City strike, the army alerted the occupants of the impending action, and warned them to leave the premises. The army said that one of the buildings was used as a weapons storehouse, while the second functioned as a headquarters for planning terror attacks against Israeli targets. Olmert, who caused a media stir on Monday when he did not forcefully come out in support of embattled Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen Dan Halutz, left no doubt on Thursday, saying that Halutz can and needs to remain in his post. If I thought he had to resign, I would have acted, he said.

Pak test fires Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Hatf 5
Friday November 17, 2006 (0244 PST)

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Thursday successfully test fired the Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Hatf 5 (Ghauri). The launch was carried out by the troops of the Army Strategic Forces Command (ASFC) at the culmination phase of a training exercise held to test the operational readiness of a Strategic Missile Group (SMG) equipped with Ghauri Missiles. It may be recalled that the President of Pakistan General Pervez Musharraf had handed over the highly accurate Ghauri Missiles to the ASFC at an impressive ceremony some years back. The Ghauri Missile has a range of 1300 kms. Today's launch exercise was witnessed by the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr Shaukat Aziz and the Vice Chief of Army Staff General Ahsan Saleem Hyat besides a large number of senior military officers and scientists and engineers of the strategic organizations.

The Prime Minister congratulated the officers and other ranks of the ASFC on the high standards achieved during training which was reflected in the successful launch and the accuracy of the missile in reaching the target. He said that Pakistan can be justifiably proud of its defence capability and the reliability of its nuclear deterrence. He said Pakistan believed in peace that comes from a position of strength and operational readiness.

The defence of the country was non negotiable. The Prime Minister made it clear that Pakistan's nuclear capability had matured and was consolidated as a fully operationalised capability in the last seven years. The three services had raised effective Strategic Forces to handle the nation's nuclear capability in all dimensions, and were equipped to handle the strategic assets in the field. The National Command Authority and the Strategic Plans Division, which oversaw Pakistan's Strategic Programme, were fully alive to the regional security situation and had developed adequate response options to meet any contingency, he said.

Earlier, the Prime Minister was received in the training area by the Vice Chief of Army Staff General Ahsan Saleem Hyat, Director General of the Strategic Forces Command Lieutenant General Khalid Kidwai, and Commander of the Army Strategic Forces Command Lieutenant General Khalid Munir. The successful exercise was also witnessed by Chairman NESCOM Dr Samar Mubarakmand, Chairman PAEC Mr Anwar Ali and Chairman KRL Mr Karim Ahmed.

Canada takes pro-Israel stance at UN Steven Edwards, CanWest News Service
Published: Thursday, November 16, 2006 Article tools (CANADA.COM)

UNITED NATIONS — Canada voted on the side of Israel at the United Nations Thursday, demonstrating a marked shift in Middle East policy.Canada registered its third change in a row on more than 20 Arab- and Muslim-sponsored resolutions that are annually critical of Israeli policy, but light on Arab responsibilities.That’s a marked switch from the way former Liberal governments voted.

The trend is expected to continue when Canadian diplomats join those of other UN member states to consider 10 more of the annual resolutions next Tuesday.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said in successive speeches his government would not endorse international resolutions on Arab-Israeli relations it considers unbalanced.If this is a shift, and if the resolutions are largely unchanged from previous years, then it will have implications for our reputation around the world, and echoes in Canada as well, warned Paul Heinbecker, a former Canadian ambassador to the UN under the Liberals.

Canada is known for taking a fair-minded and principled approach to these questions, and when I was ambassador, Canada judged every resolution on its merits, taking into account the central issue they are trying to address, and the question of fairness.But pro-Israel and Jewish groups in Canada have for years lobbied and the current government appears to agree, prompting praise from Canada’s Jewish community which as for years that the resolutions are biased praised the developments.We’re very pleased Canada is staying the course and is now guided by a (new) set of principles, said Sara Freedman, a senior official with the Canada-Israel Committee. Doing so is putting the onus on the UN to be fair and equitable as they deal with the Middle East situation.The resolution before the UN Thursday speaks of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and saw Canada abstain, whereas Canada endorsed the resolution last year under the Liberals.© CanWest News Service 2006

200 Indian Jews migrate to Israel

GUWAHATI: More than 200 Indians have emigrated to Israel after they were officially recognised as Jews, religious leaders said on Thursday.

Rabbinical leaders announced last March that some 6,000 members of the Bnei Menashe tribe in the northeast were descendants of ancient Israelites or one of the Biblical 10 lost tribes.A total of 105 people left for Israel on Thursday, while another 103 people went on Wednesday with the Israeli Prime Minister's office formally inviting them, Israeli rabbi Hannock Avizedek said.

The Jews travelled from Mizoram to Israel.

The recognition from Israel came after tribe members sent scores of applications seeking to migrate to Israel, or the Promised Land, saying it was their right to do so.According to Israeli law, every Jew enjoys the right of return or the right of abode in the country.

After the recognition, a group of rabbis visited Mizoram last September and converted the first batch of 218 Mizo tribal people to Judaism after they took a holy dip at a mikvah or a ritual bath.The new converts are practising the religion perfectly. They will undergo a year-long course in Israel to learn other aspects of Judaism at government expense, Avizedek said from Aizwal, shortly before leaving.The rabbi spent six months in Aizwal to teach Hebrew and impart lessons in Judaism to the tribal people.I am so happy today and it is a dream come true as we leave for our Holy Land, said 30-year-old Bana Kholring, whose businessman husband Avior and three teenaged children were also migrating with her.

Some 800 people from Mizoram and neighbouring Manipur state have migrated to Israel since 1994 when a private body, the Amishav Association took up their case. The last batch of 71 left the northeast for Jerusalem in May 2003.Mizoram is a predominantly Christian state, while most Manipuris follow Hinduism.

Most Jews in the two states were Christian by birth.Apart from names, the converts share many practices in common with traditional Jews such as keeping mezuzahs or parchment inscribed with verses of the Torah at the entrance to their homes. The men wear a kippah or headgear during prayers.I have no regrets at all to leave my birth place because Israel is our Promised Land, Zimra Hnamte, a 50-year-old widow, said.The 208 Mizo Jews would be settled in the cities of Nazareth Illit and Karmiel in northern Israel.

Zapatero Asks for International Intervention in Palestine

The European Union has reacted to the Israeli massacre in Beit Hanoun Gaza where 19 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced that the EU would soon launch an initiative to tackle the problem. Zapatero, who arrived in Istanbul as part of the Alliance of Civilizations initiative, met with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at his office in Besiktas, Istanbul. Zapatero drew attention to the Israeli massacre and said that they were working on a plan within the EU to prevent more tragic events in the region. Reiterating his support for Turkey’s EU bid, Zapatero stated that they would favor the continuation of membership negotiations with Turkey at the EU’s December summit.

In reference to the Greek Cypriots’ reluctance to resolve the Cyprus issue, Erdogan said that attempts were being made to blur the collective memory of the Greeks’ refusal of the U.N. plan. Erdogan and Zapatero came together to present the Alliance of Civilizations report to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. At a press conference held after the meeting, Zapatero, noting that the events in Gaza had region-wide repercussions, asserted that the international community could no longer remain indifferent to the issue. The tragedy should be stopped now to ensure a peaceful future, Zapatero said, and added that he was confident that Turkey would take action to resolve the issue along with EU countries. The EU should not be afraid of intercultural differences if it wants to be a global force, said Zapatero. The primary goal of the alliance was to maintain peace and security.


Zapatero declared that at he would favor the unconditional continuation of membership talks with Turkey at the EU summit in December. The Spanish PM, who also recalled that Turkey had exerted great efforts to qualify for full membership, stressed that he was hoping the Finnish Plan would result with a concrete solution. Turkish PM Erdogan noted in his speech that Turkish Cypriots have continuously supported the UN Plan on Cyprus and commented that this constructive stance had so far been largely ignored.

Erdogan further added that they would not open Turkish ports to Greek Cypriots unless the long-standing isolation imposed on Turkish Cyprus was lifted. The leaders then signed a Strategy Document to improve bilateral relations between Turkey and Spain.

To this end, representatives from 15 leading firms will come together to discuss alternative methods of improving bilateral economic and commercial relations. After the meeting with Zapatero, Erdogan met with the U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The two leaders were later joined by Prime Minister Zapatero and his wife for dinner.
