Two quakes in Indonesia - no one hurt - moderate earthquakes jolt Indonesia, no reports of injury

Jakarta (dpa) - Two moderate earthquakes jolted north-eastern and eastern Indonesian provinces of Maluku and West Nusa Tenggara Sunday morning, but there were no reports of injuries or structural damage, officials said.

The first tremblor, measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale struck islands in North Maluku (Mollucas) at about 0010 GMT, said Indra, an official at Jakarta's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency. He said the quake's epicenter was located in the sea, about 135 kilometres northwest of Labuha, a tiny town on Bacan island, about 2,350 kilometres northeast of Jakarta. The second earthquake - an aftershock following earlier strong quake on late Friday - measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale, struck Sumbawa Island in West Nusa Tenggara province, at about 0207 GMT, Indra said, adding that the quake's epicenter was on land, about 33 kilometres south-east of Raba district town. On Friday night, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara province, killing one person, injuring scores of others and damaged dozens of buildings. Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago nation, is prone to earthquakes because of its location on an arc of volcanoes and oceanic trenches encircling the Pacific Basin, known as the Ring of Fire. On December 2004, a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the western coast of Sumatra triggered a tsunami that struck nine countries and killed some 177,000 people in Indonesia's Aceh province.

Moderate quake rattles Guatemala Sun Dec 3, 7:08 PM ET

GUATEMALA CITY - A moderate earthquake jolted Guatemala on Sunday, shaking buildings and tossing light objects around.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.The quake had a magnitude of 5.8 and struck at 2:52 p.m. local time, about 60 miles southwest of the capital of Guatemala City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.Officials at the National Coordination for Disaster Reduction said they had no reports of damage or injuries.

Flooding kills eight in Pakistan DEC 05,06

QUETTA, Pakistan (AFP) - At least eight people have been killed in torrential rains and flooding, which blocked roads and caused widespread disruption in several Pakistani cities, officials said. Five villagers were swept away early Monday in a flood caused by a downpour in a remote village of southwest Pakistan, officials said.The five drowned after floods swept them away in Ornath village in Khuzdar district, some 450 kilometres (280 miles) southwest of Quetta, a paramilitary official told AFP.The flood also damaged several mudbrick houses in the village, he said.Two bridges collapsed in the area which severed road links to the cities of Quetta and Karachi, and stranded hundreds of passengers, he added.In southern Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and commercial capital, three people were electrocuted to death, city police chief Tariq Jamil told AFP.

The rain water flooded Karachi's streets, causing huge traffic jams and disrupted train services to other cities, officials said. Widespread rain and snowfall since Saturday has disrupted life in several Pakistani towns and cities and was likely to continue over the next couple of days, the meteorological department said.More than 200 people died this year in Pakistan's monsoon rains which occur from July to September.

Typhoon death toll could hit 1,000: Red Cross
Updated Sun. Dec. 3 2006 7:11 AM ET,Associated Press

DARAGA, Philippines The top Red Cross official in the Philippines said Sunday that he thinks 1,000 people or more have been killed by Typhoon Durian.

We're estimating the casualties could reach 1,000, perhaps more, said Sen. Richard Gordon, who heads the local Red Cross. His figure of 1,000 was based on reports from Red Cross officials on the ground in the devastated areas.

Gordon said at present his group has recorded a death toll of at least 406, with 398 others missing, based on figures provided by mayors of devastated towns in the eastern Philippines, where Durian hit with 139 mph winds and torrential rains on Thursday. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared a state of national calamity Sunday, allowing the government to more rapidly release funds needed to bolster search and rescue efforts.Typhoon Durian was the fourth major storm to hit the Philippines in four months. It buffeted the Mayon volcano with so much wind and rain that ash and boulders cascaded down in walls of black mud that swamped entire villages on Thursday.The Philippines location in the northwestern Pacific often makes it the region's welcome mat for typhoons.

We are often the first to experience typhoons before they go to China, Taiwan and Japan, said Thelma Cinco, senior weather specialist of the Philippine weather bureau. Durian, named after a thorny fruit with a powerful odor that many find offensive, blew away roofs, toppled trees and power lines and sent tons of rocks and volcanic ash down Mayon, the region's most famous landmark about 210 miles southeast of Manila. Rescuers scouring mountain villages buried under mud and boulders discovered more bodies Saturday. The first funerals were held Saturday evening as bodies rapidly decomposed in the tropical heat. In the town of Padang, only rooftops protruded from the mud and debris. Power pylons were toppled, a two-lane highway became a one-lane road strewn with debris and overturned trucks.Silangan Santander, 21, attended funeral services for her brother, Larry, whose widow was five months pregnant. Only his lower torso and legs were found near the sea. Another brother was missing.In the community where my brother lived, all the houses there were gone, she said. There are only rocks, sand and water.

The sound of boulders crashing down Mayon's slopes were like thunder, and the ground shook, she said. We thought it would be our end.

The Red Cross appealed for food, tents, water, blankets, mats, mosquito nets and body bags. Canada donated $876,000 while Japan said it would send $173,000, the Philippine government said. Nationwide, at least 2,892 people have been killed and 909 have gone missing in storms between 2001-05, according to the National Disaster Coordinating Council. Damage has totaled $521 million.The calamities came despite preparations and measures to mitigate the damage. Anthony Golez, the council's deputy chief said the people of the Philippines need to be better informed about disaster preparedness. He said Filipinos should be bombarded with disaster information, including stories of the Indian Ocean tsunami two years ago and the February 2006 landslide in the central Philippine village of Guinsaugon that killed more than 1,000. They have to get scared, or else, he said. We have to give them the reality, and it's a sad reality. We have to tell them the truth. But beyond preparedness, Golez said too many people live close to danger zones like mountainsides or riverbanks.They are pushed there because they do not have any choice. If you develop their economy, then they would have more options, he said. Gordon, the local Red Cross head, said better planning is needed.

We have to break the cycle of disaster and poverty by being smarter, by being sure we can plan our community smarter, he said. The big problem here in our country is we don't plan our communities. It's every man for himself.

He said the government has money for disaster mitigation but that politicians look to building projects that last only long enough for people to remember them during election campaigns. Mayor Jessie Robredo of Naga city in Camarines Sur, a province in the Bicol region often hit by typhoons, said his people are used to the yearly storms and began bracing for Durian a week before it arrived. The result was zero casualty this time, he said.But he laments that emergency funds, used to help his constituents get back on their feet after typhoons, could be used for economic projects.We would have been more progressive, more productive, he said. The worst part of a typhoon is that instead of using our funds for livelihood, we use them for relief to help people rebuild their lives. Instead of building infrastructures, we repair buildings.

The cycle seems unlikely to break soon.

The people of Naga are very resilient, Robredo said.Typhoons are like a way of life, a part of life. We do not like them, but our attitude is that there is still another day and we will rise again.

Crews work to restore power in Ontario, Quebec
Updated Sun. Dec. 3 2006 9:10 AM ET,CTV.ca News Staff

Utility crews were working overtime Sunday morning to turn the lights back on for tens of thousands of residents in Quebec and Ontario. They lost power Friday night when a powerful storm blasted the region with snow, heavy rain, freezing rain and high winds. As many as 80,000 households were without electricity as of Saturday morning. But Saturday night that number was down to around 33,000 as crews worked to restore the power grid to full operations. In the greater Montreal area, several thousand people were still without power, mostly due to downed trees and broken branches that fell on power lines. Hydro Quebec predicted most home would have power restored by Sunday night as crews worked to repair the damage. About 55,000 people in Ontario mostly in the eastern part of the province were still in the dark Sunday morning. Ottawa and Winchester were particularly hard hit, but Hydro One said it was making good progress towards repairing the damage. However, the electricity supply company said it could well be a few more days before all people living in remote areas have their electricity restored.With files from The Canadian Press

Britain set for more storms

Rain and strong gales will continue to batter Britain after a stormy night which saw winds get up to 100mph. Forecasters said the weather would get slightly better, but southern Scotland, Northern Ireland and north-west England could see very strong winds. People in Scotland have been warned to prepare for flooding, and there is a risk of floods all over Britain. On Saturday night the south west of England was the worst affected area with winds leaving a trail of damage. A 47-year-old man died after being hit by a wave at Ardglass harbour in County Down, Northern Ireland. And some 12,000 homes don't have any power after the strong winds brought down electricity cables in the Midlands. On Sunday, winds could get up to 80mph, and up to seven and a half cm of rain could fall in some areas.

Wildfires destroy 5 homes in California,By CHRISTINA ALMEIDA Associated Press Writer ,The Associated Press

Video Report MOORPARK, Calif. — Powerful, erratic winds early Monday hampered crews fighting a wildfire that destroyed five homes and threatened hundreds more in the hilly outskirts of this Southern California bedroom community.

With Santa Ana winds gusting up to 60 mph, firefighters said they were focused more on protecting the ranches, tract homes and citrus orchards on Moorpark's northern and western edges than on containing the blaze, which began Sunday at 2:30 a.m.You don't attack a fire with winds this extreme, said Capt. Mike Mathiesen of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. They're ferocious.

The fire burned at least 15 square miles, while gutting a warehouse and five other homes, authorities said.

Hundreds of residents, some with horses and livestock, were gearing up to flee or had already done so after authorities recommended evacuations.The Moorpark Unified School District was closed Monday.The sheriff's (deputies) said if you see flames, leave, said Dave Hare, who was at a home on the site of a recycling business he owns.More than 1,000 firefighters were working the blaze, and water-dropping helicopters would begin flying sorties after daybreak.The fire was being pushed by winds of up to 30 mph and gusts as high as 60 mph Monday, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a red flag warning of extreme fire danger because of high wind and dry conditions.Some residents stayed put despite 35-feet flames nearby. In one neighborhood, the fire came within 100 yards of homes.Arturo Huerta, 88, stationed himself on the family's home with hose in hand and watched for burning embers. I'm kinda nervous, he said.The blaze began on the northwestern edge of Moorpark, a one-time farm town about 29 miles northwest of Los Angeles that has transformed into a bedroom community.It quickly burned through 9,700 acres of heavy brush and chaparral in hills dotted with horse ranches, tract homes, and eucalyptus, avocado and citrus groves on the city's outskirts.

Flames sprung up again around 7 a.m. near Moorpark, but fire officials later classified both fires as a single blaze known as the Shekell incident, although they were a couple of miles apart. A third fire burned south of Camarillo and was expected to be contained at 30 acres, authorities said.By early evening, the fire had created a dense, brown-and-orange haze over the city and forced authorities to shut down part of Highway 23, the area's main north-south artery.A massive packaging plant was engulfed in flames and burnt for hours, occasionally letting off small explosions. Firefighters stood watch at a nearby estate to ensure a shift in wind wouldn't send flames toward the home.No major injuries were reported. A fire engine belonging to the state fire department tipped over during the initial response, but three firefighters aboard were uninjured. The accident occurred when the engine's driver apparently got too close to the edge of a road to let cars pass, officials said.In Riverside County, firefighters gained control of a wildfire that burned 100 acres of hillside brush. The fire, which began late Saturday near a high school in Norco, was fanned by strong winds and caused one minor injury to a firefighter.The causes of the fires were under investigation.

Fires ravage eastern states
December 03, 2006 11:55am

FIREFIGHTERS in eastern states are battling major blazes, with Victorian and SA crews battling fires in remote terrain, while NSW crews hoping for relief from cooler weather.Cooler temperatures are being experienced through much of NSW, including around the western areas of Mudgee, Coonabarabran and Narrabri where major bushfires are burning.However, Rural Fire Service (RFS) spokeswoman Rebel Talbert said the rain was not helping backburning operations.

It's cooled right down across the entire state which is good because it gives us an opportunity to get in there and do some containment work on these fires, she said.But some of the rain we've received is hampering the backburning efforts.It would take copious amounts of rain for weeks on end for it to have any positive affect, she said.Backburning operations over the next three days will be vital for fire crews, with early forecasts predicting a return to extreme conditions on Wednesday.About 200 firefighters will spend today attempting to work on a series of fires burning around Coonabarabran, including one that poses a threat to a large koala population in the Pilliga Nature Reserve.

Coonabarabran residents are also being urged to prepare their homes for the onset of fire, with another blaze burning around Timor Road.In Narrabri, backburning operations will also continue on a series of fires that have already burnt out more than 14,000 hectares.Crews in Mudgee have also been hampered by rain as they try to contain a blaze in the Wallaby Rocks areas.Blazes are also burning around Mudgee in the Bylong complex and Blue Springs.No fires are currently posing any immediate threat to property.

Victorian high counrty

1000 Victorian firefighters are today continuing to battle more than 50 blazes in the state's high country.A spokesman for the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) said the largest fires were at Mount Cynthia, north-west of Dargo, and at Mount Terrible, near Kevington.The Mount Cynthia fire has burned about 600 hectares, while 300 hectares have burned at Mount Terrible.

He said the large number of fires had forced authorities to prioritise which areas they should focus on. We've got a lot of fires, including about 50 in the high country in rugged and remote terrain, he said. Some of them we haven't even visited yet. The spokesman said more than 1,000 Country Fire Authority (CFA) and DSE firefighters were battling the fires, which began about 4pm (AEDT) Friday after lightning strikes in the area. Yesterday authorities asked campers and day trippers to leave Victoria's Upper Goulburn Valley.

Travellers in the fire-affected areas have been advised to listen to ABC and local radio, ensure family and friends know their whereabouts and to be aware of increased traffic on roads and tracks.

No property was yet in danger from the fires, the DSE spokesman said. South Australia - Riverland.Firefighters are still trying to contain a fire that's been burning for almost a week in South Australia's Riverland. The Country Fire Service (CFS) said the fire just north of Renmark, which was sparked by lightning last Monday, had so far burnt out about 113,000 hectares of scrub and farming land.

No dwellings were currently under direct threat. Firefighters from around the state are undertaking a backburn in the area this morning in an attempt to remove fuel from the path of the fire. More than 24 appliances will work with several bulldozers and front-end loaders on the fireground today, the CFS said. A CFS spokesman said there were still a number of smaller fires burning around the state as a result of the lightning storms nearly a week ago. A blaze that burnt out some 5,000 hectares in the Hincks Conservation Park on the Eyre Peninsula has been contained. Share this article (What is this?)Digg this Post to del.icio.us Post to Newsvine

The Sunday Times December 03, 2006 Saudis lead Israel peace bid
Uzi Mahnaimi, Tel Aviv

THE Saudi Arabian government is emerging as a key player in talks to broker a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement. According to senior Israeli sources, Ehud Olmert, Israel’s prime minister, will soon meet high-ranking Saudi officials to explore the formation of a group of moderate Arab countries to negotiate with Tel Aviv over the future of the Middle East. A preliminary meeting between Olmert and a leading Saudi representative took place in Amman, the Jordanian capital, at the end of September. According to Israeli sources, the Saudi was Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former ambassador to Washington and one of the closest advisers to King Abdullah, the Saudi ruler. Olmert is believed to be considering a Saudi initiative, endorsed by the Arab League four years ago, as the basis for a peace settlement.This would include the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and could lead to a formal peace deal between Israel and seven Arab countries: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, the Emirates, Morocco and Tunisia.

Olmert promised the Palestinians their own state last week in a conciliatory speech that he was said to have written himself. Condoleezza Rice, the American secretary of state, praised the speech and her officials welcomed it as a promising sign that a regional peace dialogue may be resumed. However, an Israeli insider said: The truth is that it was not Olmert’s own initiative but a dictate given to him last month when he met George W Bush and Condoleezza Rice in Washington. An Arab source said: The Saudis wanted to see Olmert commit publicly to what he promised Prince Bandar at the secret meeting in Amman. According to Israeli officials, Saudi Arabia is gradually taking over the role of principal peace broker previously played by Egypt. Saudi influence is seen as invaluable, particularly as the country has funded many Arab causes. Hamas, the militant group that won Palestinian elections last January, was established with Saudi money; and the Palestinian Authority would have collapsed long ago without Saudi funding. Olmert, his reputation damaged by this summer’s war in Lebanon, is looking for a dramatic initiative to restore his image at home.

N. Korea offers uranium rights to Russia: report
Updated Sun. Dec. 3 2006 7:19 AM ET,Associated Press

TOKYO -- North Korea has offered Russia exclusive rights to its natural uranium deposits in exchange for support at the stalled talks on Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The two countries have been in talks since 2002 on a deal for Russia to import uranium, which it wants to enrich and sell as nuclear fuel to China and Vietnam, according to a report in the regional daily, Tokyo Shimbun, citing unnamed Russian officials. North Korea recently offered Russia exclusive rights to the uranium in exchange for open support at the six-party talks on the North's nuclear program, which have stalled since last year, the report stated. Russia, which already exports natural gas and oil, hopes to become a major exporter of nuclear fuel, according to the report.

Negotiations between Russia and North Korea were set to continue, the report added. North Korea defied international demands by testing a nuclear weapon for the first time on Oct. 8. The U.N. quickly sanctioned the communist regime, banning member states from trading in weapons-related technology with the North. Efforts to restart talks to halt the North's nuclear program have so far failed. Russia, North and South Korea, Japan, China and the U.S. are involved in the talks.

U.S. nuclear envoy Christopher Hill and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Kye Gwan, failed to agree to a start date for negotiations after meeting in Beijing last week.At those talks, Hill reportedly urged North Korea to shut down its nuclear testing facilities by the end of 2008, halt uranium production, let U.N. weapons inspectors back into the country and hand over a full list of its nuclear facilities.In return, the other five countries would offer the North security guarantees, economic aid, and the possibility of normalizing U.S.-North Korea ties, the Kyodo News agency reported Saturday, citing unnamed officials. Pyongyang would face additional sanctions if it didn't comply with the proposal, which was drawn up by the U.S., Japan and South Korea, and shared with China and Russia, the report said, without elaborating.The mass-circulation Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper carried a similar report. Officials at Japan's Foreign Ministry were unavailable for comment. Russia's Foreign Ministry and the Russian Embassy in Tokyo also declined immediate comment.

North Korea withdrew from the six-party talks last November, angered at U.S. financial sanctions against a Macau-based bank where Pyongyang held several accounts that Washington alleged were used to launder money.

Kim, the North Korean envoy, has said Pyongyang will not unilaterally give up its nuclear weapons program. Russian officials have repeatedly said they support a non-nuclear North Korea. The main task of the six-party talks is guaranteeing the non-nuclear status of the Korean Peninsula, Russian Security Council chief Igor Ivanov, was quoted by ITAR-Tass as saying on Saturday during a visit to Mexico.

MUSLIM NATIONS

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Israel sliding to disappearance, Ahmadinejad tells Haniya

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya that Israel is sliding toward disappearance. The Zionist regime is on the slope of disappearance and the freedom movement and the struggles of the Palestinian people have more success every day, Ahmadinejad told Haniya on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Doha on Friday.Neither Iran nor Haniya's ruling Islamist Hamas faction recognise Israel.It is the religious duty of all Muslims to stand by the Palestinians, Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA agency on Saturday.The continued crimes of the Zionist regime will only accelerate the downfall of this fake regime.Ahmadinejad, who has prompted international anger by dismissing the Holocaust as a myth used to justify the creation of Israel, added: This regime was created in order to make tension in the region and to carry out the policies of the US and Britain.

Haniya, whose government is internationally boycotted over its refusal to lay down arms, recognise Israel and abide by earlier peace agreements, is on his first foreign tour since taking power in January, with Tehran reportedly one of his destinations.During Palestinian foreign minister Mahmud Zahar's visit to Tehran two weeks ago, the Islamic republic gave 120 million dollars in aid to the cash-strapped Hamas-led government and voiced its readiness to give more.Israel's arch-foe Iran denies allegations that it supplies arms to Palestinian militant groups, saying its support is of a moral nature only.

Ministers Discuss Threat of Hizbullah Takeover in Lebanon
By Hillel Fendel (INN)

Various Cabinet sessions are discussing the possible Hizbullah coup in Lebanon, as well as the demand for a ceasefire an end to Israel's anti-terror activities in Judea and Samaria.

Following the morning Cabinet session dealing mainly with the threat of a Hizbullah takeover in Lebanon, the security mini-cabinet will convene and discuss the security situation in more detail.Regarding the possible Hizbullah toppling of the Lebanese government, most ministers feel that Israel need not take a public stand. Israel should not intervene, said former intelligence officer Rafi Eitan, Minister of Pensioners Affairs, because most of the time it turns out the opposite of what we want... This is a job for the United States. Another Cabinet member said that any Israeli support for the moderate Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora would only weaken him. Minister Meir Sheetrit (Kadima) said that a takeover by Iranian/Syrian-backed Hizbullah is a very worrisome prospect, while Minister Eli Yishai (Shas) said that Israel must be prepared for just such an eventuality.Former IDF Intelligence Chief Gen. (ret.) Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash said today that if the present Lebanese government resigns and does not call new elections, this will increase the chance of another war next summer.The meetings today will also deal with the ceasefire in Gaza violated thus far by nearly 15 Kassam rockets and its possible expansion into Judea and Samaria (Yesha).

Ceasefire = Return to Murderous Terrorism in Israel

A ceasefire in Yesha means, according to Palestinian Authority demands, that Israel remove all checkpoints and stop anti-terror measures. For Israel, a ceasefire means an end to the thwarting of terror attacks and a return to weekly or daily reports of murdered Israelis. This is the conclusion drawn from the statistics the IDF will present today at the security mini-cabinet meeting.

The leading statistic to be presented: The IDF has thwarted this year over 130 attacks and/or arms-smuggling attempts at one checkpoint alone the Hawara checkpoint south of Shechem. Since January 2006, Arutz-7's Haggai Huberman reports, IDF troops at Hawara have caught Arabs trying to smuggle into Israeli-controlled territory 28 bombs, 10 guns, 25 Molotov cocktails and 60 knives.Four pipe-bombs, between four and six inches long each, were caught in the past week alone, and blown up in controlled explosions by Israeli Border Guard sappers.In July, for instance, 32 knife-bearing Arabs were stopped, in September, three firebombs were caught, and in November, three bombs were found on persons trying to cross through the checkpoint.On Oct. 9, a Palestinian terrorist ran towards soldiers with a knife and tried to stab one; another soldier shot him, and though soldiers and Red Crescent workers administered first aid, he died.

Israel's military history teaches us, Huberman writes, that every time there was a ceasefire without a clear IDF victory, it served only to help the Arabs rearm and regroup for the next round.

This is what occurred in the ceasefire with Egypt ending the War of Attrition in 1970 [preparing the way for the Yom Kippur War in 1973], and with the PLO in 1981, leading to the war in Lebanon [a year later]. In addition, the Oslo Agreement [of 1993] saved the PLO from total collapse at the time that the original intifada [that began in] 1987 was dying out, and this was what happened in the hudna, etc. Each time, the cease fire was merely a time-out before the next round.U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, who met separately with Prime Minister Olmert and PA leader Abu Mazen last week, has often called for Israel to give up checkpoints, often associating them with the daily humiliation of occupation. Even Olmert, in his famous speech at Ben-Gurion's grave last week, said that if the PA establishes a unity government and stops terrorism, We will significantly diminish the number of roadblocks, increase freedom of movement in the territories, facilitate movement of people and goods in both directions.

IDF officers such as Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky, Central Commander Gen. Yair Naveh, Planning Division Chief Gen. Ido Nehushtan, and Operations Chief Gen. Tal Russo all agree that Israel must not agree to give up the checkpoints. Army chiefs feel that the current number of checkpoints, following the removal of some, is the red line minimum required to maintain a semblance of security for Israel.The PA side, however, continues to demand a ceasefire in Yesha interpreting it to mean that if Israel harms an Arab in the course of anti-terror activities, it will be within its rights to respond by firing rockets.

OPEC president expects oil production cut DEC 04,06

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) OPEC is likely to trim production again, the president of the oil cartel said Friday, adding that he expects a cut of at least 500,000 barrels a day.The specific amount will be decided at the OPEC meeting scheduled for this month in Nigeria's capital, he said.

There is likely to be some further trimming, the actual amount will depend on the circumstances, Edmund Daukoru, who is Nigeria's oil minister and president of the 11-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, told a group of reporters ahead of a news conference in Abuja.On Thursday, Venezuelan oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said OPEC could cut production by 500,000 barrels a day when it meets in December 14 in Abuja, and Daukoru agreed.I don't expect anything less than 500,000 barrels per day to be cut, Daukoru said. He declined to give a specific figure, saying only: When we meet, we will look at the data and the trends.Oil prices retreated Friday amid profit taking and easing worries that OPEC will significantly reduce output to boost prices.

Prices had jumped to two-month highs on Thursday on news of declining U.S. fuel inventories and the approach of the Northern Hemisphere winter, when heating fuel demand rises.But by afternoon Friday in Europe, light, sweet crude for January delivery was down 72 cents to $62.41 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday that OPEC members had reached a consensus to keep oil prices at $50 a barrel. The average for the OPEC basket price this week currently stands above $56 a barrel.Daukoru said he didn't see prices getting back to the 70s, ($70) definitely not the upper 70s that we saw back in August.Asked about the possible expansion of OPEC's membership, Daukoru replied, We have made a membership drive to Angola and Sudan and we are optimistic that those two countries will respond.Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil exporter, but its usual 2.5 million barrels of output per day have been cut by 25 percent because of a wave of militant attacks and kidnappings since the beginning of the year.Reuters.

Barroso rallies commissioners behind EU constitution
04.12.2006 - 09:22 CET | By Honor Mahony

European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has attempted to drum up support for the beleaguered EU constitution among his fellow commissioners, apparently changing his previous stance towards the document.

Mr Barroso last month wrote to his 24 colleagues saying he wants to bring forward a proposal to give the EU constitution another chance, according to Reuters news agency.In the letter he stressed the continuing need for a constitution, writing that we can find a way out and give Europe a second chance. The message reveals an apparent change of approach in Mr Barroso's position on the EU charter which has been frozen in political limbo since it was rejected by French and Dutch voters last year.Soon after its rejection, Mr Barroso was keen to push a practical policy-driven Europe focussing on tangible results that citizens notice Instead of never-ending debates about institutions, let's work with what we've got. Political will and leadership are more important than institutions, he said in September last year.We should have a policy-driven agenda, so people can see the benefits of the European Union.This practical approach was followed by a spate of consumer-friendly initiatives such as driving down mobile phone roaming prices and tackling hidden costs in airplane tickets.Mr Barroso's call for a new initiative on the EU constitution comes at a time when the topic is slowly climbing back up the political agenda after having almost vanished during an extended period of reflection on what to do after the 'no' referendums.Under its EU presidency during the first half of next year, Germany is going to attempt to get some political impetus behind reviving as much of the constitution as possible.The Times reports that Chancellor Angela Merkel last week called her ambassadors back to Berlin to discuss how to implement its planned steps for next year.

Under its constitution roadmap, Berlin is intending to sound out opinions during the first few months. This will then be followed by a declaration in March to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome - which kicked off the common market leading to the current EU.By June, with French elections out of the way, the German EU presidency is hoping to be able to have a timeframe and some concrete steps that other member states can sign up to.Ms Merkel has previously indicated Germany would like the constitutional process wrapped up in time for the 2009 European elections.

Brussels pushes for free trade with Asia, Latin America
04.12.2006 - 09:27 CET | By Helena Spongenberg

EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson is this week to present plans for a new generation of free trade agreements after a multilateral deal on global free trade in the Doha Development Round got stuck earlier this year.On Wednesday (6 December) Mr Mandelson will come forward with a commission plan to start free trade talks with India, South Korea, ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations – as well as Latin American countries, according to press reports.

The commission needs a mandate from the 25 EU member states before it can freely go ahead with negotiations on an accord which would reduce barriers and fuel trade between the EU and its partners.Negotiations could include market access on goods and services, common rules and disciplines on intellectual property rights, competition, dispute settlement or rules of origin.EU foreign affairs ministers meeting next week will discuss the issue and if approved, negotiations could get underway in 2007.

Analysis: 2007 - The Year of War,By YAAKOV KATZ

2007 will be the year of war, both in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip, and possibly even against Syria. It could happen this spring, or perhaps in the summer.

According to Military Intelligence's (MI) assessment for the coming year, there is a high probability that Israel will find itself fighting at least two wars on two fronts, one against the Hamas army being created in the Gaza Strip and the other against Hizbullah, working hard to regain its strength after the war this past summer. Despite a cease-fire on the Gaza front, Hamas has spent the last week smuggling weapons into the Strip through the tunnels running from Sinai. Hizbullah, despite Security Council Resolution 1701 and UNIFIL's presence in southern Lebanon, has received shipments of antitank missiles, short-range rockets and long-range missiles from Syria since the war ended. The Syrian military is on high alert and has the IDF concerned that without political engagement, war could erupt there. According to MI's assessment, if Israel offered Syria a renewal of dialogue, President Bashar Assad would accept. However, if Israel does not make any diplomatic overtures toward Syria, in line with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's declared policy, the chance of war will only increase. While the defense establishment is genuinely concerned with the ongoing Hizbullah protest in Beirut and the effect it will have on the fragile situation in the North, MI is not surprised by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah's attempt to topple Prime Minister Fuad Saniora's US-backed government.

The massive demonstration in Lebanon is more than just a standard anti-government gathering. It is a clash of cultures - one led by Saniora interested in an independent and westernized Lebanon and the other led by Nasrallah and powered by Iran, interested in a radical and religious regime, or as MI sees it, an extension of Iran and the axis of evil. Syria is also contributing to the tension and, according to MI, is the leading suspect in the assassination two weeks ago of Lebanese Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel. The Saniora government's decision to establish an international tribunal to try those responsible for the assassination of Rafik Hariri in 2005 was a major blow for Assad and the ongoing protest in Beirut is partially his way of payback. The IDF does not anticipate long life for the cease-fire in Gaza, obtained November 25 in a phone call between Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. In addition to the daily Kassam rocket attacks since the cease-fire went into effect, the Palestinians have continued smuggling weapons into the Strip from Egypt.

Hamas's army in Gaza already numbers several thousand troops, believed to be armed with advanced antitank missiles, Grad-type Katyusha rockets as well as anti-aircraft projectiles, possibly Soviet-made SA-7 shoulder-fired missiles. The assumption in the IDF is that the cease-fire will not last long, maybe another couple of weeks at the most. The major problem is that unlike the cease-fire in 2005 before Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip, this time the Palestinians do not have any incentives to enforce or uphold the truce. It is also important to differentiate between the Strip and the West Bank. While Hamas is building an army, Gaza is self-contained, cut off from the rest of Israel. The West Bank is different. With the security fence incomplete, a decision to remove roadblocks and permit free passage for Palestinians could enable terrorists to enter Israeli cities. The only way to prevent terror there is to maintain an IDF presence in the West Bank.

But not everyone in the defense establishment agrees that the way to prevent terror in the West Bank is by retaining a stifling military presence. Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Yosef Mishlav has been recommending the removal of roadblocks and free passage between West Bank cities for some months now, claiming the move would stimulate positive economic developments within the PA. If Israel fails to do so, Mishlav has warned, war could also erupt in the West Bank.
