Ethiopia caught in dangerous cycle of drought and floods by Emmanuel Goujon 2 hours, 12 minutes ago

ADDIS ABABA (AFP) - Ethiopia, which was hit again by deadly floods this week, is caught in a devastating cycle of drought and heavy rains that threatens the survival of millions of people, experts say. Over the years, the Somali region of Ethiopia has suffered from cycles of droughts and floods, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said.According to the WFP, around 1.5 million farmers require urgent humanitarian assistance as large numbers of livestock died, wells and boreholes dried up, malnutrition rates increased and disease became rampant.The latest flooding has been caused by a sudden rise in the level of the river Wabe Shebelle, swollen by heavy rains, whose depth had doubled at the end of last week.Flooding from the river had practically cut off the worst-affected towns of Kelafo and Musthail, 80 and 150 kilometres (50 and 90 miles) from Gode, the capital of the Somali region, humanitarian experts said.The latest death toll issued by the Ethiopian authorities said 68 people had died in the recent floods and thousands had been made homeless.

The toll included five people taken by crocodiles lurking in the flood waters, said Muktar Mohamed, the flood emergency coordinator for the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau (DPPA) in Gode.Another six people had been injured in crocodile attacks, he added.The death toll has been climbing, because reports are coming in slowly from the affected places,he said.Mohamed said that 17,000 hectares of land and 2,000 livestock had been lost in the flooding, which had affected nearly 280,000 people in 94 villages.

We still don't have a precise figure for displaced people, he added.The DPPA has begun distributing humanitarian aid of cereals, pulses and vegetable oil, while the WFP has made available 1,374 metric tons of grain from its stocks.Southeast Ethiopia is still reeling from flash floods in August and September, which left 639 dead and affected over 350,000 people, again chiefly hitting the Somali region.One wonders how much an already vulnerable and fragile group of people are expected to bear, said the WFP's representative in Ethiopia, Mohamed Diab.At least WFP can ensure that many of those who may have already lost everything have something to eat, he told AFP.But even this modest goal is hard to achieve by land because roads have been washed away and large tracts of territory are under water and full of crocodiles and snakes.

As access to the flood-affected area is difficult, dropping food to survivors from aircraft is being considered, the WFP and the DPPA said.Ethiopia's war-ravaged neighbour and northeast Kenya are also both affected by the flooding. Based on the latest flood watch reports, we fear the situation could get worse for the Juba region (in southern Somalia), Matthew Olins, deputy head of Somalia's UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told AFP. Olins said small-scale damage was already being recorded in the areas around the Somali capital Mogadishu. The majority of observers are pessimistic about the situation in the Horn of Africa and see little hope of an end to the heavy floods and droughts that have plagued the region in deadly cycles for decades.

Major storm heading for the Northwest W. Verno, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel 2 hours, 10 minutes ago

West

A major storm system will be moving inland across the Pacific Northwest tonight into Monday. Ahead of this system expect showers to increase through the day across Washington and Oregon, and by later afternoon winds will also become gusty. Tonight into Monday widespread heavy rain will impact much of the area, and some locations could get over 5 inches of rain. This, in combination with the rain that has already fallen, could result in widespread river flooding. Damaging Winds will also be on the increase into Monday, with gale and storm force winds likely along the coast, and further inland winds could gust over 70 mph. These high winds will actually spread into the northern Rockies as well. Meanwhile, the rest of the west will be dominated by high pressure and fair weather conditions. Some offshore flow will develop over southern California, resulting in breezy conditions there, along with warm temperatures.

South

High pressure will dominate most of the Southeast today, resulting in sunny to partly cloudy skies from New Orleans, northeast through Atlanta and Raleigh. Cooler air will filter down the east side of the Appalachians keeping afternoon highs a bit chilly in the Atlanta and Raleigh areas where readings will be in the 50s. Meanwhile areas further south and west will see temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Increasing southerly flow over the Lower Mississippi River Valley, through the southern Plains, will increase the chances for showers and a few thunderstorms today. As a disturbance moves east into the area, a wave of low pressure may form in the Lower Mississippi Valley tonight into Monday, and increase the threat for some heavy rain. This rainy pattern will spread east across the entire south Monday into Tuesday, as warmer temperatures continue to build in.

Northeast

A general warming trend can be expected over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as high pressure moves east and southerly winds take over. As somewhat milder air begins to move in today, a few light rain showers or snow flurries will be possible near the Great Lakes; otherwise skies should be partly cloudy from Pittsburgh and Baltimore, north through New York and Boston. Afternoon highs will reach into the 50s, except across northern New England where highs will only reach into the lower 40s. As southerly flow begins to take hold, moisture will begin to move up the Ohio River Valley by late Monday into Tuesday. Showers will overspread much of the area by Tuesday, further enhanced by a disturbance moving into the area. By Tuesday, afternoon high temperatures will have warmed into the 50s and 60s at most locations.

Midwest

Warmer air will continue to push north across the Midwest and into the central Plains over the next several days. Today a few showers will sneak into the Middle Mississippi and Lower Ohio River valleys as this warmer air pushes north. Temperatures today will continue to be milder, with afternoon highs ranging from the 50s north to the 60s south. The chance for showers will increase over the Ohio Valley on Monday as the moisture builds north. Meanwhile, the Upper Midwest will see fair weather conditions and warmer temperatures.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE USED.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

Fears of nuclear race in West Asia
Hasan Suroor

LONDON: In a move that has sparked fears of a nuclear race in West Asia, four Arab states have told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that they want to develop nuclear power for civilian purposes, according to its deputy director-general Tomihiro Taniguch. These are Eygpt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Algeria. Disclosing this in an interview to the London-based Middle East Economic Digest, Mr Taniguch said the IAEA had already had preliminary' discussions with these Governments and would offer them technical help. Mr Taniguch said: Some Middle East states, including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, have shown initial interests to use nuclear power primarily for [water] desalination purposes.This [the interest] is at a tertiary stage and the main driver is the use of a more efficient energy system. We have held preliminary discussions with these Governments. We will offer them help under our technical advisory programme to conduct a study for the [proposed] power plants.

New global union demands reforms at IMF, WB, WTO
Published: Saturday, 4 November, 2006, 09:24 AM Doha Time

VIENNA: A new global trade union demanded radical reform of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and World Trade Organisation to focus on human rights, in its programme adopted here yesterday.The new force, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) representing 168mn workers, laid out an action plan calling for deep changes to globalisation in favour of the poor.Its programme also calls for a global trade system which protects developing countries and for the WTO to adopt social targets.The ITUC said in its programme, approved here on the last day of its founding congress, that it wanted to fundamentally change globalisation so it will work in favour of workers, the unemployed and the poor.

ITUC said it will work for a fundamental reform of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the WTO ... to recognise the primary importance of human rights.It said that honouring union rights is a pre-condition to justice in the workplace, in society and in the world, adding that it would fight any violation of union rights.It also called on the international community to conduct a basic strategy for sustainable development.The programme said: Since its creation... the WTO has represented a model of trade liberalisation that cannot last, that increases the exploitation of workers and inequalities in terms of development.Briton Guy Ryder, who was elected on Friday to be secretary general of the ITUC, added in a speech distributed in advance: (Our) goals are ambitious. Fundamental change in the global economy. Social transformation. Universal respect of the fundamental rights of working people.

The new body is a response to decades of feuding within the union movement and embraces 306 national unions in 154 countries, although 42mn unionists in Communist-affiliated bodies refused to participate on the grounds that ITUC was compromising with the established economic system.The ITUC has a central policy objective of tackling globalisation and what it sees as the damaging effects of the opening of markets and increased competition on ordinary workers.But it does not however reject the benefits of trade.

Poorly organised, international trade can be destructive, but well directed, it can boost development and jobs, Kristian Weise, an international labour expert with the ITUC, said.

The general secretary of the French union CFDT, Francois Chereque, said: On the one hand, G8 trade unions say we must resist globalisation to preserve jobs’. On the other hand, trade unions in developing countries are demanding a just distribution of wealth Chereque said he hoped that the ITUC, rather than adding up its aggravations, would be able to organise a calm debate to develop new trade regulations that will preserve jobs in the North while allowing the South to achieve wealth.Weise said that the idea that protecting countries in the North would save jobs results from a misunderstanding, adding that jobs lost in relocations make up only a very small percentage of total jobs.

He said he was in favour of maintaining tariff barriers in developing countries... (to) protect their emerging industries.The secretary general of the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD, John Evans, said: The essential task of trade unions is to guarantee union rights and jobs everywhere in the world, to avoid that companies relocate to profit from lower social checks.This is one of the aims of the new ITUC, which has said it wants to introduce a clause on workers’ rights in the WTO’s mandate, that would make it obligatory for products and services traded between countries to be produced and distributed according to fundamental labour norms. – AFP

U.S. evangelical leader agrees to resign from church after board recommends it Published: Sunday, November 05, 2006

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Rev. Ted Haggard resigned Saturday as leader of the megachurch he founded after a panel recommended the influential evangelist's removal for sexually immoral conduct, the church said Saturday. Haggard had resigned two days earlier as president of the National Association of Evangelicals, where he held sway in Washington and condemned homosexuality, after a Denver man named Mike Jones claimed to have had drug-fuelled trysts with him. Our investigation and Pastor Haggard's public statements have proven without a doubt that he has committed sexually immoral conduct, the New Life Church's Overseer Board said in a statement.

On Friday, Haggard acknowledged paying Jones for a massage and methamphetamine but said he did not have sex with him and did not take the drug.The church's statement said the investigation would continue to determine how extensive Haggard's misconduct was.Rev. Ross Parsley will lead the church until a permanent replacement for Haggard is chosen by the end of the year, the statement said. A letter explaining Haggard's removal and an apology from him will be read at Sunday services. The language of our church bylaws state that as Overseers we must decide in cases where the Senior Pastor has 'demonstrated immoral conduct whether we must 'remove the pastor from his position or discipline him in anyway they deem necessary,the statement said.

In consultation with leading evangelical and experts familiar with the type of behaviour Pastor Haggard has demonstrated, we have decided that the most positive and productive direction for our church is his dismissal and removal, it continued. James Groesbeck, a church elder, said he was glad the investigative board acted quickly.I'm saddened by what came out but I think they've done their job, Groesbeck said by telephone.Church members are drawing strength from one another and are caught up in the activity but that likely will change, he said.I think it's going to be really difficult in a week or two,Groesbeck said. Jones, who said he is homosexual, added he was upset when he discovered who Haggard was and found out the New Life church had publicly opposed same-sex marriage a key issue in Colorado, with a pair of issues on Tuesday's U.S. midterm election ballot.

It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex, Jones said.

Jones also said Haggard snorted methamphetamine before their sexual encounters to heighten his experience. Haggard said he bought meth but never used it; he said he received a massage from Jones after being referred to him by a Denver hotel. Jones said no hotel referred Haggard and he advertises only in homosexual publications. In a TV interview this week, Haggard said: Never had a gay relationship with anybody and I'm steady with my wife, I'm faithful to my wife.Matt O'Connor, 21, a member of New Life church for 12 years, said Saturday he knew weathering the fallout was going to be bad but: We're still a church and we are not going to fall apart.The Canadian Press

Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death by Hanging for 1982 Killings
By Robin Stringer

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging today for his role in the massacre of 148 Shiite Muslims in the northern Iraqi village of Dujail following an attempt on his life there in 1982. Long live the people, down with the traitors, Hussein, 69, shouted as the verdict was read out. God is great. You are the servants of the occupiers. Long live Iraq. Dressed in a dark suit and white shirt, he held a copy of the Koran in his left hand. Chief Judge Raouf Rasheed Abdul-Rahman delivered the verdict about midday in the Baghdad courthouse of the Iraqi Higher Criminal Court. The footage was aired by major international television channels.Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, Hussein's half-brother and Iraq's intelligence chief at the time of the Dujail killings, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, who issued death sentences to Dujail residents as head of a Revolutionary Court, were also sentenced to death by hanging.

Former Baath party officials in the Dujail region Abdullah Kazim Ruwayyid, his son Mizher Abdullah Ruwayyid, and Ali Dayih Ali were sentenced to 15 years in prison. Mohammed Azawi Ali, also a Baath party official in Dujail region, was acquitted due to a lack of evidence.The verdict comes two days before U.S. mid-term elections on Nov. 7. President George W. Bush needs to show progress in Iraq after 99 U.S. service members were killed in action last month, and rival Shiite and Sunni factions are killing hundreds of civilians every week.

U.S. Elections

In a New York Times/CBS News poll on Nov. 2, sixty-four percent of U.S. voters said they disapproved of Bush's handling of the war. Fifty-two percent said they will vote Democrat, with 34 percent opting for the Republican candidate in their area. There will be enormous political, security and legal repercussions, said Sonya Sceats, of the international law program at Chatham House, a London-based international affairs institute.The death sentence may be perceived as retribution by the U.S., Iraqi Shiites and Kurds on the leader whose ruthless oppression assured the supremacy of the minority Sunni population, Sceats said. The verdict will increase unrest and re-energize the Sunni insurgency, she said. Iraqi security forces cancelled leave and imposed curfews in Baghdad, the Diyala and Salaheddin provinces in anticipation of civil violence sparked by the verdict.

Chaotic Trial

The majority decision by a panel of five judges closes a chaotic trial that Hussein's defense team repeatedly dismissed as a sham. Hussein said he was innocent, and his lawyers argued the killings were legal, as they were in response to the attempt on Hussein's life. At the start of the trial in October 2005 Hussein told court, I preserve my constitutional rights as the president of Iraq. I do not recognize the body that has authorized you.If Hussein appeals, the case will be reviewed by a panel of nine judges. There is no time limit for the appeal, which be made on the facts of the case or clauses of law. If the verdict is upheld, under Iraqi law the execution must be carried out within 30 days. Hussein's ongoing second trial, for the Anfal military campaign against Kurdish guerrillas in the late 1980s which the prosecution alleges killed about 180,000 people, may not reach its conclusion.

Anfal, Halabja

The killing of about 150 people doesn't compare to the Anfal or Halabja, Sceats said, referring to a 1988 chemical weapons attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja about 160 miles north of Bagdad that killed at least 5,000 people. Anything which stops at least a proper hearing of at least a number further cases will be a sorry story for history and for the people of Iraq. Defense lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi warned on Oct. 29 that a guilty verdict would escalate violence in Iraq. This decision will set the country ablaze again and plunge the entire region into the unknown, al-Dulaimi said in an open letter to U.S. President Bush. Three defense lawyers were murdered during the trial, one of them, Saadoun al-Janabi, was kidnapped on Oct. 20, 2005, one day after the trial began. He was found shot dead a day later.

Hussein took control of Iraq's Baath party in 1979 and immediately set about executing hundreds of political and military officials in purges. In 1980, he began an eight-year war against neighboring Iran in which hundreds of thousands of people died on both sides. The war crippled Iraq economically.

Iron Rule

The ousted leader held Iraq, a country divided across religious, ethnic and tribal lines, together by iron rule. His secret police, the mukhabarat in Arabic, tortured and executed dissenters. In August 1990, Iraq invaded southern neighbor Kuwait. The underpaid and underfed Iraqi army withdrew after Operation Desert Storm by a U.S.-led coalition. Hussein fled Baghdad when U.S.-led forces invaded Iraq in March 2003. He was found by a U.S. patrol in a bunker in Adwar, a village south of Tikrit in December 2003. The Iraqi Governing Council established the Iraqi Higher Criminal Court with the permission of U.S. envoy Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority on Dec. 13 2003, three days before Hussein's capture. A second trial of Hussein and six co-defendants began on Aug. 21. They stand accused of a military campaign called Operation Anfal against Kurdish guerrillas in the late 1980s which the prosecution alleges killed about 180,000 people, most of them civilians. It is unclear whether this trial will continue. Last Updated: November 5, 2006 05:13 EST

Power cuts hit big areas of Germany and France

BERLIN (Reuters) - Power cuts temporarily plunged homes in some of the most heavily populated parts of Germany and France into darkness overnight due to shortages in output, authorities said on Sunday.A spokesman for a French union said the outage was the worst to hit France in 30 years, while at least four German federal states accounting for around half the country's 82 million inhabitants were also affected.French radio said that the power outage originated on the German side following a surge in demand for electricity due to cold weather, and that parts of Belgium and Italy were affected.A spokesman for German utility RWE Rhein Ruhr said the cuts were caused by a failure outside his firm's network.

Not enough power was being generated in the network, he said, adding that because the supply was on a shared network, the power cuts spilt over into other areas. He said it was not clear where exactly the failure had occurred.The spokesman said more than one million people in the RWE Rhein Ruhr network were probably affected, including inhabitants in the cities of Cologne, Essen and Gelsenkirchen, as well as some in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate further south.He added that the cuts, which occurred at around 10.30 p.m. (2130 GMT) on Saturday, had lasted between five minutes and half an hour. There were no details of any damage.

The states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Saarland and Baden-Wuerttemberg were definitely affected, police said. The four cover large areas of western and southern Germany.Maurice Marion, head of France's CGT trade unions mining and energy division, said the outage was France's worst in 30 years and had hit the eastern part of the country in particular. Parts of Paris were affected by the cuts.Earlier on Sunday, the French Interior Ministry said it did not know what had caused the problem. No one was immediately available to comment at French utility EDF.In France, the worst outages lasted around 90 minutes, although in many places the electricity came back within minutes.No major accidents or crimes had occurred, the ministry and police said. French media reported some people had got stuck in elevators when the power went out. About 80 percent of France's electricity is derived from nuclear power.(Additional reporting by Jacques Clement and Caroline Jacobs in Paris)

Spain criticizes building border fence
(Xinhua) Updated: 2006-11-04 10:58

The Spanish government criticized the United States for trying to halt illegal immigration, through the building of new fencing along its border with Mexico, the Spanish foreign minister said here on Friday. Miguel Angel Moratinos, who was here for the 16th Ibero-American Summit, said growing immigration problems must be tackled through diplomacy and agreements, not through fence-building. The foreign ministers of Latin American countries and Spain gathered in Montevideo, Uruguay, before the opening of the Summit, which will focus on immigration, legal and illegal, as well as obstacles to economic growth. The foreign ministers unanimously adopted a rejection statement on the building of the 1,100 km-long border fence along the U.S. southern border. The statement, which will be proposed to the summit for ratification, will focus on rejection of the fence, instead of condemnation, Moratinos said during a briefing after the preparatory meeting.

Last week, U.S. President George W. Bush signed a bill authorizing the new fencing, irritating several Latin American governments.

Fence-building does not stop illegal immigration, migrants trafficking or the trafficking of human beings and encourages discrimination and xenophobia, as well as the creation of trafficker groups, which endanger people more, he said. The document expressed a deep concern for the decision made by the United States on building a fence along the Mexican border because it is a unilateral move and goes against the spirit of understanding. The meeting also called on the U.S. authorities to develop measures aimed at legalizing workers from other countries, and to implement temporary workers programs, which would guarantee full respect of human and labour rights.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
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.

4 November 2006,WATCHING YOU
It's Britain in 2016 when cameras and microchips control daily life
By Antonia Hoyle

BRITAIN is the most monitored society in the Western world, we have once again been reminded. And how.The minute I get out of bed, the microchip in my arm tells my kettle to boil, my bath to run and my electric car to warm up. I start the vehicle with a fingertip it needs to scan my prints before it will run. And I dare not exceed the speed limit, or the chip in the car will inform a police computer. Welcome to Britain, November 2016. Welcome to an age in which every step you take is watched. Back in November 2006, the Government's Information Commissioner, the man responsible for safeguarding our privacy, voiced concern at the increasingly pervasive surveillance society all around us. Richard Thomas pointed out there were 4.2 million CCTV cameras one for every 14 people with the average person captured on more than 300 screens a day. In 2016, that seems like small fry.

His report warned that hi-tech scanners, tags and microscopic cameras would mean that in just a decade's time none of us would be able to go unnoticed again. Now, as I drive to work watching one of his successors on my in-car HDTV repeating the same fears, I reflect on how accurate Mr Thomas was. I know, for instance, that it's pointless removing the chip in my vehicle as overhead spy planes will report any speeding to the authorities anyway. As I enter the congestion zone, now in place in every UK city, there's no need to worry about paying the £210 charge it's automatically deducted from my bank.There are benefits to all this, as I am reminded when my local council calls me on my videophone at lunch time. My son has stopped eating vegetables at school. They know because the electronic card he uses to pay for them records his choice of meals.

I head to a high street shop. There aren't many these days as almost everyone buys online. As I enter, a holographic ad flashes up on a screen exactly at my eye level. The virtual shopgirl is urging me to buy a blouse like my other ones, only better. The advertising firm knows I'm tempted because it knows everything about me. A chip in my trousers told it my size, likes, dislikes and buying habits as soon as I came in. For a virtual shopgirl she's being really attentive. But then she knows I've just been paid and how much I have in my bank. She shouldn't have such details as, strictly speaking, they are confidential. But in the hi-tech Britain of 2016, information like this is so valuable - and so easily leaked. THERE'S no need to use my credit card to pay for the blouse. I simply swipe my sleeve against a digital reader and the chip in my arm sends a signal to my bank. Back at work, I have to stand in front of another hi-tech reader which scans my face before letting me in. At my computer, gone are old-fashioned passwords. Instead it scans my iris before I can log on.

Then I try to hire a nanny. But the agency says hundreds of women on its books are unsuitable. They had gone to their GPs complaining of depression, but their medical records have been secretly passed on. Millions are in the same boat, their DNA and other details stored on file despite having committed no crime.Before starting a job, everyone must go through extensive biometric tests.And it's pointless trying to hide the fact you beat a drug habit 15 years ago or have a family history of cancer. Your employer probably has those details anyway and may decide they are sufficient not to hire you. The wealthy, of course, get around this and hire expensive data management firms to safeguard their details. The rest of us are not so lucky. My husband, for instance. I suspect he has a mistress, which he denies.

But all I had to do was visit Google and type: What was Simon doing on January 28 at 3.35pm? to learn he was in her bed. That's ever-present cameras for you. As I leave work, cameras in lampposts recreate a 3-D image of the street and my face to send to police. There has been a spate of thefts and they need to ensure I am not a suspect. As I near home, the chip in my arm sends signals about my body to my thermostat. Knowing I'm a bit chilly, it turns the heating up a degree. Back in my living room, I turn on a camera to talk to Mum 200 miles away.I KNOW her knee is playing up, thanks to a sensor embedded in her that has sent signals to my computer and her carer's.Mum would rather see me in person but it's so difficult finding the time.

I switch on the TV and a list of my favourite shows pops up. That's because I've programmed them into my microchip and don't need to channel surf with the remote any more.Nor do I have to go shopping. My fridge's computer knows when I'm low on food and orders from the supermarket, which brings it to my door. Then it's bedtime. I don't need to set an alarm as my microchip senses my brain activity and tells my clock radio when to wake me up. When it does, the Prime Minister is on, saying things are far better now we know one another's every move. Of course he's right. Isn't he? antonia.hoyle@mirror.co.uk

Bishop attacks Muslim hypocrisy

Bishop Nazir-Ali's views differ from the Archbishop of Canterbury A senior Anglican bishop has accused many Muslims of being guilty of double standards in their view of the world. The Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, told the Sunday Times some had a dual psychology in which they sought victimhood and domination. The Muslim Council of Britain said the comments were not very helpful. The bishop, whose father converted from Islam, also said situations such as teaching could require Muslim women not to wear full-face veils. Mr Nazir-Ali argued it would never be possible to satisfy all of the demands made by Muslims because their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims... and always wrong when Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists.

He compared Bosnia and Kosovo, where he said Muslims were oppressed, with the powerful position of the Taleban in Afghanistan, who he said had been the oppressors. He added: Given the world view that has given rise to such grievances, there can never be sufficient appeasement and new demands will continue to be made. Muhammad Abdul Bari, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, told the Sunday Times such remarks could affect "community relationships.

Veil debate

The bishop's comments on the use of full-face veils by Muslim women add to the debate sparked by Commons Leader Jack Straw, the former foreign secretary, last month. He disclosed that he asks Muslim women to remove the veil when they attend his Blackburn constituency surgeries. Mr Straw also suggested that Muslim women who wear veils over their faces can make community relations harder. In the Sunday Times, Mr Nazir-Ali referred to a huge increase in the wearing of Muslim dress in Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia.He said: I can see nothing in Islam that prescribes the wearing of the full-face veil. In the supermarket those at the cash till need to be recognised. Teaching is another profession in which society requires recognition and identification.

Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, entered the veil debate last month by saying people should be free to wear visible religious symbols. He said aiming for a society where no symbols such as veils, crosses, sidelocks or turbans would be seen was politically dangerous.

Minister Lieberman Calls for Separation from Arabs
By Hillel Fendel(INN)

Just days after joining the government, Avigdor Lieberman has set the national agenda at least for the day. His statement that Arabs must be separated from Israel has become the talk of the town. Lieberman, Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs, told The Sunday Telegraph's Jerusalem correspondent that the best way to achieve peace in the Middle East would be for Jews and Arabs - including Israeli-Arabs to live apart. The remarks drew a storm of protest from the left-wing. MK Dov Hanin of the joint Arab-Israeli Hadash party said that Lieberman should be fired for his racist remarks. Meretz MK Zahava Gal'on added, Lieberman was always a Kahanist, and remains a Kahanist.MK Uri Ariel (National Union), on the other hand, justified Lieberman's position: His words about the threat presented by Israeli-Arabs to the physical existence of the State of Israel are correct. Now that he has entered the government, it remains only for us to see which of his plans he will actualize to deal with this threat.

We established Israel as a Jewish country, Lieberman said. I want to provide an Israel that is a Jewish, Zionist country. It's about what kind of country we want to see in the future. Either it will be an [ethnically mixed] country like any other, or it will continue as a Jewish country.

In Favor of Territorial Exchange

Lieberman disagrees with most of his right-wing colleagues in one aspect of his separation plan between Israeli Jews and Arabs. While most of the right-wing recognizes Jordan as the original Palestinian state, and some, such as MK Benny Elon, would leave many Arabs in Judea and Samaria as a sub-state of Jordan, Lieberman wishes to trade Israeli-Arab populated areas for Jewish areas of Judea and Samaria. Specifically, Lieberman would hand over the Um El-Fahm area of the southern Galilee, known as the Triangle, to foreign sovereignty. By thus redrawing Israel's borders, he wishes to retain Israel's overwhelming Jewish majority.
Speaking today with Army Radio, Lieberman explained, The exchange of territories and populations will help us form a Jewish, homogeneous state. We promised to establish a Palestinian state free of Jews, but in the meanwhile, we ourselves are turning into a bi-national state with a minority of more than 20% Arabs.

The Cyprus Model

Minorities are the biggest problem in the world, Lieberman told the newspaper. I think separation between two nations is the best solution. Cyprus is the best model. Before 1974, the Greeks and Turks lived together and there were frictions and bloodshed and terror. After 1974, they constituted all Turks on one part of the island, all Greeks on the other part of the island and there is stability and security. Acknowledging that this involved the forcible eviction of thousands, he said that in any event, the final result was better.The Telegraph writes in the name of analysts that the smooth appointment [to the government] of a man recently considered an extremist rabble-rouser is a sign of political radicalization in Israel. Tel Aviv University political science professor Gideon Doron is quoted as saying, After the summer war in Lebanon, many Israelis have moved to the Right. They think security is bad and trust Palestinians and Arabs less. They don't believe in the possibility of peace through negotiations, so Lieberman has become the center of a new consensus.

Lieberman, the head of the Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) party, also had some strong words for Iran. Israel is on the "front line of a clash of civilizations between the free world and extremist Islam, he said, adding that Iran is the base of an axis of evil which is a problem for all the world. Every week, the president of Iran declares his intention to destroy us, Lieberman said.Lieberman called upon the international community to unite against an axis of evil led by Iran. Iran is the biggest threat. It's a problem for the whole world, but Israel really has a bad location. We are on the front line between the clash of civilizations between the free world and the extremist Islamic world.
