Quake rattles India's Andaman islands FEB 11,07

PORT BLAIR, India (AFP) - A strong 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck off India's Andaman islands, triggering panic on some islands of a repeat of the 2004 tsunami, officials and witnesses said. The earthquake occurred at 4:17 pm (1047 GMT), some 625 kilometres (387 miles) southeast of the local capital Port Blair, according to the police control room here.There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties following the quake, it said.Residents of the archipelago's southernmost Campbell Bay island cluster, wrecked by the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, left home and sought higher ground, local officials reached by telephone said.The shocks weren't that much but the fears of 2004 are still fresh, said Bay resident Shashi Singh.Official in the Andamans said the quake, the second in as many months, had not sparked a tsunami alert.The Andaman and Nicobar chain of 536 islands, 58 of them inhabited, was hit hard by the earthquake-triggered tsunami two years ago, with hundreds dead and more than 3,000 still officially listed as missing.

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

N.Y. lake effect snow hits 9.5-feet deep By JOHN KEKIS, Associated Press Writer FEB 11,07

PARISH, N.Y. - The snow got even deeper Sunday but the end was in sight after a weeklong series of squalls that have buried towns on one corner of Lake Ontario. By early Sunday, the persistent streams of squalls fueled by moisture from the lake had piled snow 115 inches deep at the Oswego County town of Parish, about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse.But as efforts to dig out Parish and surrounding towns was ramping up, the weather system was winding down.The squalls shifted northward to the Watertown area Sunday morning, and were expected to die down before drifting back to the south again, said meteorologist Steve McLaughlin at the National Weather Service in Buffalo.We have a sharp front coming in Monday that's going to kick all this out. We may get one more burst of snow, but then it's over. Finally, some mercy, McLaughlin said.Residents of the nearby town of Mexico see 5- to 6-foot snowfalls every two or three years, but this time even hardened locals are amazed.The only signs of parked SUVs are their radio antennas or roof racks sticking up above the snow. Front doors are buried and footprints lead to second-story windows. Sidewalks that have been dug out look like miniature canyons.The state transportation department said 125 workers from elsewhere in the state had been sent in with snow equipment to help.

The region is located along the Tug Hill Plateau, the snowiest region this side of the Rocky Mountains. It's a 50-mile wedge of land that rises 2,100 feet from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. It usually gets about 300 inches — roughly 25 feet — of snow a year. The hamlet of Hooker, near the boundaries of Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego counties, holds the state's one-year record with 466.9 inches, about 39 feet, in the winter of 1976-77.

Less than a month ago it seemed more like spring.

Gosh, three weeks ago there was green on the ground. We got spoiled, Parish Mayor Leon Heagle said. This just came fast. This is not normal. God, we can't catch a break. I feel like getting right in the car and driving south, but I'd probably get in trouble.The intense blast of snow hasn't been blamed for any deaths in Oswego County. Elsewhere, however, more than a week of bitter cold and slippery roads have contributed to at least 25 deaths across the northeastern quarter of the nation — five in Ohio, four in Illinois, four in Indiana, two in Kentucky, seven in Michigan, and one each in Wisconsin, and Maryland and elsewhere in New York, authorities said.

New storm lurks for Plains, Midwest, South Senior Meteorologist, The Weather Channel FEB 11,07

Midwest

A developing storm center over northern Texas tomorrow will foster a general snowfall across the northern Plains. Several inches of wind-blown snow are likely over the Dakotas and Nebraska with a mix of light snow and rain across Kansas. In the Midwest, a bit of light snow (little or no accumulation) is expected to scoot eastward across Iowa and the lower Great Lakes. Farther south, rain is expected to spread across most of Missouri and Kentucky. A little wet snow is possible along the northern fringe of the rain shield in extreme northern Missouri and the mid-Ohio Valley. Then tomorrow night, heavy snow may develop in parts of the lower Midwest as the storm really cranks up. Meanwhile, highs tomorrow will range from a little below zero in northeast North Dakota to the 40s in southeast Kansas, southern Missouri, extreme southern Illinois and Kentucky.

South

A storm center cranking up over northern Texas tomorrow will trigger showers and thunderstorms across the south-central U. S. The heaviest activity will be reserved for eastern Texas, eastern Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas and maybe far western Tennessee. A few of the storms could turn severe, even tornadic, over eastern Texas and the ArkLaTex during the afternoon. The threat of severe weather will then shift eastward tomorrow night through Louisiana, southern Arkansas and western Mississippi. Other showers and storms during the day tomorrow will erupt over Florida, mainly on the southern half of the peninsula. High temperatures Monday are forecast to range from the 50s to the 70s, north to south.

Northeast

A reinforcing push of arctic air will invade the Northeast tomorrow. The fresh frigid air will be accompanied by scattered snow showers and flurries across northern New England, Upstate New York and much of Pennsylvania. Farther south, a few rain and snow showers, emissaries from a developing storm in Texas, will scurry across West Virginia and Virginia, but shouldn't amount to anything. A lake-effect snow band off the eastern end of Lake Ontario may be going strong in the morning, but is expected to shift southward and dissipate during the afternoon. High temperatures are predicted to range from the teens in the northern reaches of New York state and New England to the 50s across southern Virginia.

West

Precipitation in the West tomorrow will be somewhat less widespread than it is today. In fact, the Intermountain region may see little if any rain or snow. A weak Pacific front will bring showers to western Washington, western Oregon and northern California. Generally light snow and snow showers will dot the Rockies while somewhat heavier, wind-blown snow assaults southern Montana and northern Wyoming. High temperatures are expected to range from the single digits in northeast Montana to the 70s in the lower Colorado River Valley and southwest Arizona. Most of the lower elevations of California will top out in the 50s and 60s.

Nearly 60,000 evacuated in Mozambique floods in past week FEB 11,07

MAPUTO (AFP) - More than 58,000 people have been evacuated from low-lying areas bordering Mozambique's flooding Zambezi river in the past week, the state national disaster management institute (INGC) said. Floods in the central provinces of Tete, Zambezia, Manica and Sofala have claimed 29 lives since December, destroyed thousands of homes, and some 165,000 people living along the river basin are in immediate danger, spokesman Belarmino Chivambo told AFP.If the floods continue, this figure can increase to 285,000 in the coming days, he said.Those evacuated were taken to 18 accommodation centres where they were given maize, water, mosquito repellent and water purification equipment, he said.Twenty boats and two helicopters were involved in 24-hour evacuation and monitoring exercises.The rescue operation made necessary by floods caused by incessant downpours since December was expected to cost the country up to 24 million dollars, Chivambo said.

Floods in Mozambique in 2000-2001 claimed more than 700 lives.

The southern African country's peak rainfall season is from the end of February to early March.Last week, the national water directorate said the Zambezi's water levels were dangerously high, prompting the giant Cahora Bassa dam to increase outflow to prevent it bursting.The dam, built during Portuguese colonial rule, is one of Africa's largest hydroelectric projects.The UN World Food Programme Friday made an impassioned plea for aid, saying floods across southern Africa were causing havoc for tens of thousands of people.

P.E.I. struck by first flu outbreak in 2 years
Friday, February 9, 2007 CBC News


Four schools in Queens County are reporting a high number of flu cases, and health officials are calling it the first outbreak on the Island since 2005.If you close the school it just simply delays it.

— Dr. Lamont Sweet, chief health officerChief health officer Dr. Lamont Sweet says there are a number of flu cases being reported, particularly in school-age children. Absenteeism is at 16 per cent at one school, but Sweet hasn't issued an order for them to close.That question came up but usually we find if you close the school it just simply delays it and it comes back the next week again, said Sweet.We've left it with the schools. If they are short of teachers and can't cope with enough teachers to keep the classes going, then they've been advised to close. But so far all of them, I think, have been able to keep going.Sweet said emergency departments in Queens and Kings counties are seeing an increase in cases. He said it's important people wash their hands thoroughly to stop the spread of the virus.Earlier this week, Sweet said 2006 was the first time in 17 years the province had avoided an outbreak, and that things were looking good for 2007, since normally the flu strikes by mid-January.

Iran marks anniversary with uranium vow By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer FEB 11,07

TEHRAN, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed Sunday that Iran would not give up uranium enrichment but he otherwise refrained from making fiery statements during celebrations on the 28th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. The hard-line president said he was prepared to negotiate with the international community and his speech fell short of an expected announcement that Iran had started installing 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at its Natanz plant.Ahmadinejad's may have tempered his usual firebrand style in view of the U.N. Security Council demand that Iran halt enrichment by a deadline later this month or face additional sanctions.Ahmadinejad's relative restraint is also widely believed to show the influence of moderates within the ruling Islamic establishment telling him not to make provocative statements that could heighten tensions between Iran and the West.Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Sunday that Iran poses no threat to Israel, also suggesting the government was trying to project a less aggressive image.Iran says the aim of its nuclear program is to generate electricity but the United States and some of its allies fear the Islamic republic wants to create the fissile core of nuclear warheads. They have made halting uranium enrichment the main precondition for holding talks on Iran's nuclear program.The United States added to its accusations against Iran on Sunday when a defense official said high-level Iranian officials were arming Shiite militants in Iraq with sophisticated armor-piercing roadside bombs that have killed more than 170 American troops.

Iran has crossed the arduous passes and stabilized its definite (nuclear) right, Ahmadinejad told crowds. He said the program would remain within the limits of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty that bans production of nuclear weapons.We are prepared for dialogue but won't suspend our activities. ... The government will defend the rights of the Iranian nation within the framework of the law.At a security conference in Germany, Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Sunday its nuclear program is not a threat to Israel or any other nation.That Iran is willing to threaten Israel is wrong, Ali Larijani said. We pose no threat and if we are conducting nuclear research and development we are no threat to Israel. We have no intention of aggression against any country.But Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said he believed Iran was trying to convince the international community that its intentions are benign. "The fact is that they have failed in this attempt and there is a wall-to-wall consensus that the Iranian nuclear program is indeed military and aggressive and a threat to world peace.Ahmadinejad said Iran's nuclear technology advances will gradually be made public over the next two months until April 9. He did not explain what would happen on that date, but it marks the one year anniversary of Iran's announcement that it had enriched uranium for the first time.The Iranian leader implied last week that Tehran would announce that it had begun installing a new assembly of 3,000 centrifuges in an underground portion of its uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, in central Iran.

Iran now has two cascades of 164 centrifuges each that have been operating sporadically at the aboveground portion of the Natanz facility producing small quantities of non-weapons grade enriched uranium, IAEA inspectors say.The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog on Sunday welcomed Iran's willingness to resume negotiations, but said nothing short of "full transparency" on Iran's part will bring the two sides to the negotiating table.I am still hopeful that they will move forward to try and find a way to get into negotiation. (Larijani) mentioned that they are ready to work with the agency, and I think that is positive, Mohamed El-Baradei told Associated Press Television News.

If they (Iran) adopt a policy of full transparency then we can (resolve the issue).

The Security Council approved limited economic sanctions on Dec. 23 over Iran's refusal to halt enrichment and has threatened to impose further sanctions later this month if it continues to refuse to roll back its program. Ahmadinejad's comments Sunday were part of a speech that was broadcast live during nationwide rallies marking the anniversary of the revolution. On Feb. 11, 1979, Iran's imperial armed forces withdrew support for the U.S.-backed monarchy and declared its allegiance to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after a popular peaceful uprising throughout Iran. Khomeini's followers seized control of the capital and two months later declared Iran an Islamic republic. The International Atomic Energy Agency has said it has found no evidence that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons, but the watchdog has suspended some aid to Iran and criticized the country for concealing certain nuclear activities and failing to answer questions about its program.

Desire for revenge still strong in Gaza By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer FEB 11,07

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Khamis Bakr demands revenge. The local Fatah leader's 16-year-old nephew was killed by Hamas gunmen in one of Gaza's recent street battles, and Bakr wants to even the score, despite last week's Saudi-brokered truce between the two rivals. Bakr, 35, said he'll always put the interest of his family before that of his party. Unfinished business between Gaza's powerful clans is one of the main threats to the power-sharing agreement signed last week between the Islamic militant group Hamas and the Fatah movement of the moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.Despite assurances by Hamas and Fatah leaders that they are putting months of deadly factional fighting behind them, resentment and mistrust still run high. And the agreement risks unraveling even before being implemented because of Hamas's failure to accept international demands to recognize Israel.Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday he did not believe the agreement met conditions for lifting a painful international aid boycott of the Palestinian Authority, imposed after Hamas won elections, according to a participant in a weekly Cabinet meeting.In Gaza City, graffiti on the smoke-blackened walls of Islamic University, a Hamas stronghold trashed earlier this month by Abbas-allied security forces, reflected festering anger.The president's people are destroyers, read one slogan on the scorched wall of the computer lab. The attackers, who caused $15 million in damage, according to Hamas, left behind messages of their own, including this spray-painted warning: The Presidential Guard will show no mercy.In Gaza City's beachside neighborhoods, hardest hit by the battles, life has largely returned to normal since Thursday's agreement in the Muslim holy city of Mecca.On a recent day, streets were congested, shops opened, and members of the security forces lounged in plastic garden chairs on sidewalks, rather than standing watch behind sandbags. One motorist washed his car on the street in a show of optimism and some residents ordered glass to replace broken windows.

But no one was relaxing too much yet.

Huge metal tripods blocked roads near Abbas' compound to keep away cars. In the ocean-view Rimal neighborhood, the owners of a 14-story apartment building added three more rows of cement blocks to their garden wall and installed a large metal gate to keep out gunmen.During the last round of fighting, Hamas militiamen took over the rooftop of the building as part of a race between rival groups for control of strategic positions. Iman Husseini, one of the residents of the building, said she had pleaded with the gunmen to leave, to no avail.At one point, the Hamas fighters opened fire on Abbas-allied officers at a gas station across the street, killing a 16-year-old bystander, Mohammed Bakr, according to the victim's relatives.The shooting triggered three days of clashes between the Hamas men on the roof and members of the Bakr clan, most allied with Fatah. The 3,500-strong Bakr clan lives in several blocks near the high-rise, and during the fighting set up makeshift roadblocks at the entrances to neighborhood alleys to control traffic.Khamis Bakr, the local Fatah leader, said Saturday that despite the Mecca truce, the clan will not rest until justice is done.We are happy with the agreement, Bakr said. We hope that our son will be the last victim. But the family still wants the blood of Mohammed to be avenged. Hamas has to hand over the killers, either to the family or to a court.

With Gaza's judiciary barely functioning, it is unlikely any of those involved in killings would be brought before a court. Factions would also balk at handing over their fighters, particularly since it would be almost impossible to determine who did what in the chaotic battles.Another option is to pay compensation to the bereaved families, in line with Islamic law. In Gaza, the going rate per victim is $47,000. Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said in a speech last month that the families of victims could be compensated.Bakr declined to say what steps he might take to avenge his nephew's death. Leaders from Hamas, Fatah and smaller factions acknowledged Saturday that clan revenge for dozens of victims could easily bring down the Mecca agreement. Hamas and Fatah have agreed to halt their fire, and that's a beginning, but now they must hurry to quell possible revenge acts, said Khaled Batch, a leader of the small Islamic Jihad group not involved in the fighting. Islamic Jihad said it has already settled eight family claims involving killings. Abbas on Friday announced the formation of a reconciliation committee to address unsettled scores. It is important to deal with the families, said Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, a Fatah spokesman. Both Abu Khoussa and Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan said they were confident the two factions can keep their supporters in line.

In coming days, Abbas and Haniyeh are to move quickly to form a coalition government. Under the deal, Hamas gets nine Cabinet seats, Fatah gets six, independents are given five portfolios and small factions get four. Haniyeh remains prime minister. However, the deal could fall apart if Israel and the international community refuse to lift the aid boycott, citing Hamas' failure to reform. Olmert said Sunday his government had urgent consultations over the weekend, but had not yet decided how to respond to the Palestinian deal. We, like the international community, are studying what exactly was achieved, what was said, and what is the basis on which the agreement rests, if it exists, and if it's complete, Olmert said before his weekly Cabinet meeting. After countless broken cease-fires, skepticism in the Palestinians territories remains strong. There is a lot of mistrust, said Bakr, the local Fatah chief. If it (the Mecca deal) lasts for six months, it is a good agreement.Associated Press writer Diaa Hadid contributed to this report.

Failure to solve EU constitutional issue hurts credibility: Barroso FEB 11,07

Failure to solve the dispute over the constitutional treaty of the European Union would undermine the bloc's credibility, EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Saturday. At a joint press conference with Polish President Lech Kaczynski after their meeting, Barroso said the EU's internal relations must be handled properly if it wanted to enhance its public credibility. He voiced the commission's support for Germany, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, in the latter's efforts to solve the problem. He also stressed the importance of getting consent from all EU members over a final solution to the problem. Barroso hoped Poland would give an active, positive, constructive contribution to the (search for) a solution to these institutional questions.

Kaczynski pledged Poland's active participation in the discussions on the EU treaty.

I am personally convinced that by the preliminarily agreed target of 2009 we shall be able to speak in general of having resolved that problem, he said. The EU's integration process was impeded in 2005 when France and the Netherlands, both founding fathers of the bloc, in their referendums rejected the bloc's constitutional treaty. Poland is wary of the treaty's headlong rush to deepen the integration process, saying it is inconsistent with the EU's reality. Germany has vowed to revive the constitutional process and asked Poland to make clear its attitude. Under German Chancellor Angela Merkel's plan, a political deal has to be worked out over how the original text should be changed, while a full new text is expected to be ready by the end of this year and be ratified during the first half of 2009.

New PA Government Will Not Recognize Israel FEB 11,07
By Nissan Ratzlav-Katz and Hillel Fendel (INN)


The new Palestinian Authority government to be formed by Hamas and Fatah will not recognize Israel's right to exist. Nor is it clear that it will abide by agreements signed by the PLO. The warring Hamas and Fatah terrorist groups in control of the PA, led by Ismail Haniyeh and Mahmoud Abbas, respectively, reached an agreement on Thursday night in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The talks were aimed at ending weeks of bloodshed between the two organizations. The new agreement includes power-sharing arrangements in a new PA government - but Hamas spokesmen made it clear that the new understandings implied no recognition of the State of Israel whatsoever. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert chose not to respond to the agreement as yet, saying, We do not reject it or accept it... Like the other nations, we will study it.Opposition Leader Binyamin Netanyahu, on the other hand, said the agreement is clearly bad. Israel must apply pressure around the world so that this new government is not recognized, he said. Netanyahu also called upon Olmert to call off his planned meeting with PA head Abu Mazen of Fatah and US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.Former Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, also of the Likud, lambasted Olmert's lack of leadership by not rejecting the Hamas-Fatah government outright.

Khaled Mashaal, the Damascus-based leader of the Hamas organization, told the Al-Hayat newspaper on Saturday that the agreement with Fatah includes no mention of the recognition of Israel's national legitimacy. We were not asked to do so, he said. We agreed to the political platform of the government and we are a part of it, like the other factions. And we are committed to what was agreed upon in the document of national agreement [the Prisoners' Document, drafted by imprisoned terror group leaders -ed.] and the letter of appointment of the [current] government... However, each organization will hold its own political positions. On Friday, however, Meshaal called the Mecca agreement a new political language for Hamas.Ismail Radwan, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, was more forthright. On Friday, he declared: "The positions of Hamas are known and unchanging, and at their base is the non-recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. The Hamas movement is one matter and the unity government is another. The national unity government is based on the document of national agreement, which does not recognize the Israeli entity.Despite the celebrations in Gaza over the new government, it appears that many of the disputed issues remain unresolved. Arutz-7's Haggai Huberman reports that instead, committees were formed to deal with them.Among the matters still in doubt are: the precise attitude towards the State of Israel; reforms in the PLO organs, the inclusion of Hamas and Islamic Jihad and others in the PLO, and the identity of the all-important Interior Minister. Most critical is the future of the private Hamas army, which is subservient to the Interior Ministry and which has been the focus of much of the recent bloodshed.

The PA leadership is hoping that the very fact of the Fatah-Hamas national unity agreement reached in Mecca will end a Western embargo against the Hamas-led PA. The Western nations stopped aid to the PA after the Islamist Hamas terror organization swept into power in Authority-wide elections in January 2006. Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamed told Reuters, We have agreed with the Saudis to market this agreement internationally. Our [Saudi] brothers are in constant contact with the Americans and Europeans. They [the West] cannot ignore this agreement and impose their own
conditions.Ahmed Yousef, an advisor to the PA's Hamas prime minister, warned the European Union, I count on the Europeans to change their policies, and to say that what happened in Mecca shows ideological flexibility. The Europeans have their own interest, and they should care about the image and perception. They don't want their image in the region to be like the US.As for the US, and its partners in the Quartet, the reaction has been noncommittal. In a joint statement released Friday, the US, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations stated, While awaiting formation of the new Palestinian government, [we reaffirm our] support for a Palestinian government committed to nonviolence, recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations, including the Roadmap. PLO negotiators met with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Friday, in the wake of the Mecca agreement. Yasser Abd Rabo called his talks with Ban Ki-Moon fruitful.
