Tropical Storm Karen forms in Atlantic SEPT 25,07

MIAMI - A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Karen early Tuesday in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no immediate threat to land, and a new tropical depression formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. At 11 p.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,355 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph and was expected to continue this motion over the next 24 hours.Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from Karen's center. On its current course, it is expected to hit two troughs, though forecasters are unsure how they will affect Karen.

The 13th depression of the season formed Tuesday, but remained weak, forecasters said. A tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Gulf Coast of Mexico on Wednesday. At 11 p.m. the storm was located about 165 miles east southeast of Tampico, Mexico and moving toward the west near 5 mph with top sustained winds near 30 mph.It was expected to slowly gain strength during the next 24 hours.National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

Council of Europe to vote on creationism next week By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor Tue Sep 25, 12:48 PM ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's main human rights body will vote next week on a resolution opposing the teaching of creationist and intelligent design views in school science classes. The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly will debate a resolution saying attacks on the theory of evolution were rooted in forms of religious extremism and amounted to a dangerous assault on science and human rights.The resolution, on the agenda for October 4, says European schools should resist presentation of creationist ideas in any discipline other than religion. It describes the intelligent design argument as an updated version of creationism.
Anne Brasseur, an Assembly member from Luxembourg who updated an earlier draft resolution, said the vote was due in June but was postponed because some members felt the original text amounted to an attack on religious belief.

Only minor changes have been made to the initial draft.

There are different views of the creation of the world and we respect that, she told Reuters. The message we wanted to send was to avoid creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science. That's where the danger lies.The Council, based in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, oversees human rights standards in member states and enforces decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.If passed, the resolution would not be binding on its 47 member states but would reflect widespread opposition among politicians to teaching creationism in science class.

NATURAL SELECTION DROPPED

Creationism says God made the world in six days as depicted in the Bible. Intelligent design argues some life forms are too complex to have evolved according to Charles Darwin's theory and needed an unnamed higher intelligence to develop as they have.Some conservatives in the United States, both religious and secular, have long opposed the teaching of evolution in public schools but U.S. courts have regularly barred them from teaching what they describe as religious views of creation.Pressure to teach creationism is weaker in Europe, but has been mounting. An Assembly committee took up the issue because a shadowy Turkish Muslim publishing group has been sending an Islamic creationist book to schools in several countries.Supporters of intelligent design want it taught in science class alongside evolution. A U.S. court ruled this out in a landmark decision in 2005, dismissing it as neo-creationism.The aim of this report is not to question or to fight a belief, Brasseur wrote in a memorandum added to the new resolution. It is not a matter of opposing belief and science, but it is necessary to prevent belief from opposing science.She said the resolution also shortened references in the resolution to evolution by natural selection to evolution because some members had misunderstood the reference to natural selection to be an attack on their religious beliefs.

Leaders pledge restraint on gay bishops By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer SEPT 25,07

NEW ORLEANS - Episcopal leaders, pressured to roll back their support for gays to keep the world Anglican family from crumbling, affirmed Tuesday that they will exercise restraint in approving another gay bishop and will not authorize prayers to bless same-sex couples. The statement mostly reiterated earlier pledges by the church, and it will not be known for some time whether the bishops went far enough to help prevent an Anglican schism.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said she believed the document met the requests of Anglican leaders. But some Episcopal conservatives immediately rejected the statement as too weak, because it does not bar gays and lesbians from becoming bishops.

Bishops released the statement in the final hour of an intense six-day meeting and at a crucial moment in the decades-long Anglican debate over how the Bible should be interpreted.The 77-million-member world Anglican Communion has been splintering since 2003, when Episcopalians consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. The Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the U.S.Anglican leaders had set a Sunday deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop or approve an official prayer service for same-sex couples.Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, took the unusual step of attending the meeting for the first two days, pushing bishops to make concessions for the sake of unity. Anglican lay and clergy representatives from overseas also participated, scolding Episcopal leaders for the turmoil they've caused. Williams and other Anglican leaders will evaluate the statement in the coming weeks.Robinson said the talks with Williams and Anglican leaders were the two hardest days since my consecration. But he said thought the document was fair.I think people came here thinking this was going to be Katrina II, he said. And what in fact happened was a coming together of the bishops of the church.

However, Episcopal conservatives noted that many priests will still conduct same-gender blessing ceremonies, despite the lack of an official prayer. Critics also said the bishops aren't doing enough to provide alternative leadership for conservative dioceses.
This is a 'try to keep your foot in the door' maneuvering effort, said Canon Kendall Harmon, a leading conservative from the Diocese of South Carolina.Conservative Bishop John Howe of the Diocese of Central Florida said the statement wouldn't satisfy all the Anglican leaders. But Howe said most will find it acceptable.Howe is staying in the Episcopal Church, even though his diocese, based in Orlando, has rejected Jefferts Schori as a leader because she is liberal.In the document, the bishops reconfirmed a resolution passed last year by the Episcopal General Convention, urging bishops to exercise restraint by not consenting to a candidate for bishop whose manner of life presents a challenge the church and the communion.Episcopal leaders also demanded that overseas Anglican leaders stop coming into the U.S. to take oversight of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes. Anglican leaders from Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere have consecrated bishops to oversee congregations in the United States.

Four dioceses — Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.; and San Joaquin, Calif. — are taking steps to break away and align with an overseas Anglican church. And about 60 Episcopal parishes have left or have voted to leave the national church, according to the national church.The next crucial event for the communion will be the Lambeth Conference, in July in England. The once-a-decade meeting brings together all the bishops in the Anglican world.
Whether Williams can persuade bishops to attend will be a measure of the strength of the communion.Williams did not invite Robinson or a U.S.-based bishop, the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns, who leads a network of breakaway conservative Episcopal parishes aligned with the Anglican Church of Nigeria. But some Anglican prelates don't want to be even at the same table as Episcopalians who consecrated Robinson. Separately, Robinson has been in private talks with the archbishop of Canterbury to find a way he can attend, as an observer perhaps, and bishops in New Orleans this week voted to support that effort.

Barak marks flawless 100 days at Israel's defence helm by Marius Schattner SEPT 25,07

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Efficient, secretive and sure of himself, former prime minister Ehud Barak has enjoyed a flawless 100 days back in government following a comeback to Israeli national politics, analysts say. Since reassuming the defence ministry portfolio on June 18 after winning the Labour party leadership, the ex-chief of staff has managed to restore Israelis' confidence in their armed forces, badly shaken after last year's inconclusive war in Lebanon, they say.In the three months that the 65-year-old has been in charge, the military has carried out several successful operations, including an air strike deep inside Syria reminiscent of some of Israel's most legendary operations.There is no doubt that Barak has returned a sentiment of security to the population with a series of successful operations, of which the last one in Syria has undoubtedly left its mark, political analyst Yaron Ezrahi told AFP.Having consolidated his leadership of the party, Barak is today in a good position to reclimb the ladder of power six years after withdrawing from public life following an election defeat in the wake of the failed Camp David summit with the Palestinians in 2000.

The professionalism of Israel's most decorated soldier contrasts sharply with the amateurism of his predecessor at defence, former trade union leader Amir Peretz who was roasted for his lack of leadership during last summer's 34-day war with the Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon.Israel has maintained an official silence over the reported September 6 raid on Syria, in which Damascus said its air defence fired at Israeli warplanes that had dropped munitions deep inside the country.But the Israeli press has still been filled with foreign media reports, most of which now say that Israel bombed a military site that contained nuclear material from North Korea -- a charge denied by both Damascus and Pyongyang.A recent article in London's Sunday Times said that commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit that Barak once headed had seized nuclear material at the site before bombing it, in a raid allegedly directed by Barak himself.As a soldier Barak took part in some of Israel's most legendary operations -- the 1972 Beirut raid against Palestinian militants in retaliation for the Munich Olympics massacre, storming a hijacked Sabena airliner at Tel Aviv in 1973 and the Entebbe hostage rescue in 1976.Barak's firm position in the security domain strengthens his popularity, Ezrahi said.

The general has also been successful in internal politics, managing to neutralise a potential threat posed by Ami Ayalon, his opponent for the Labour party leadership earlier this year, by bringing him into the government.Barak has masterly manipulated his rival Labourites, said historian and political analyst Ilan Greilsammer. Instead of dispatching with them he offered them a ministerial landing pad.Barak has also learned the lessons of his past defeats -- the failure of the Camp David peace talks in 2000, with the subsequent eruption of a major Palestinian uprising, and the election defeat to the right that followed.Back then he spoke too much, today he says nothing, said Greilsammer. He was branded as a leftist, today he is repositioning himself to the centre aiming to seduce the right-wing electorate.But the success of his first 100 days could paradoxically hurt the chances of the man once named Little Napoleon because of his arrogance returning to the pinnacle of power in Israel, according to analyst Daniel Bensimon.A good defence minister does not necessarily make a good prime minister, he said.Remaining silent over his plans is an excellent tactic for a commando chief, but not necessarily for a man who aims to lead the country.

Indonesia calls for dialogue between Palestinian factions Tue Sep 25, 7:09 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, on Tuesday urged rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to hold a dialogue to end their differences, saying a divided community cannot secure peace and justice in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East is crucial to long term global stability, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in an address to the UN General Assembly.But, he said, there could no be no peace in the Middle East unless there was justice, especially for the Palestinian people.And a divided Palestinian nation cannot secure justice, Yudhoyono said. Hamas and Fatah must therefore engage in dialogue and reconcile their agendas.The long-standing Palestinian issue became more complicated in June with the takeover of the Gaza Strip by the Western-shunned Hamas Islamists.

The bloody takeover sank the Palestinian unity cabinet and split the Palestinians into two entities, with Hamas ruling Gaza and the Western-backed moderate president Mahmud Abbas, who leads the secular Fatah faction, based in the West Bank.Abbas sacked the Hamas-led government in the wake of the takeover and has since repeatedly said he is steadfastly opposed to any dialogue with Hamas until it returns Gaza to his authority.Hamas has been shut out of a peace summit called by the United States in the fall.
Abbas, attending the UN meeting in New York, wants the summit to cover core issues such as the possible borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of the contested holy city of Jerusalem, and the fate of Palestinian migrants.Yudhoyono also said that a revived Arab initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian crisis must catalyze political change in the region.

That initiative, first launched in 2002, offers Israel peace and normal relations with all Arab states in return for its withdrawal from the territories it occupied in the 1967 war and a just settlement for Palestinian refugees.The Arab plan was revived this year with Saudi Arabia, which has no diplomatic ties with Israel, along with the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt comprising an Arab quartet set up to promote the initiative.

Iran leader says nuclear issue closed By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer SEPT 25,07

UNITED NATIONS - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore U.N. Security Council demands and sanctions imposed by arrogant powers to curb its nuclear program. Instead, he told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that Iran has decided to pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program through its appropriate legal path, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.When Ahmadinejad was ushered to the podium, the U.S. delegation walked out, leaving only a low-ranking note-taker to listen to his speech, which indirectly accused the United States and Israel of major human rights violations. State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said the U.S. wanted to send him a powerful message.The Iranian president spoke shortly before German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned the diplomats of disastrous consequences for Israel and the world if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb. The world does not have to prove to Iran that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Iran has to convince the world that it is not striving towards such a bomb.

Hours earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the assembly that allowing Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons would be an unacceptable risk. There will not be peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of the proliferation of nuclear arms, Sarkozy said. The Iranian crisis will only be resolved if firmness and dialogue go hand-in-hand.Iran insists the program is purely peaceful, aimed solely at using nuclear reactors to generate electricity. But the United States and key European nations believe the program is a cover for an Iranian attempt to produce nuclear weapons.Ahmadinejad has defied two Security Council resolutions demanding Iran suspend enrichment and imposing escalating sanctions on key figures and organizations involved in the nuclear program. He made clear in his speech that Iran did not intend to comply with them now.In the last two years, abusing the Security Council, the arrogant powers have repeatedly accused Iran and even made military threats and imposed illegal sanctions against it, he said.Previously, they illegally insisted on politicizing the Iranian nation's nuclear case, but today, because of the resistance of the Iranian nation, the issue is back to the agency, and I officially announce that in our opinion the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and has turned into an ordinary agency matter, Ahmadinejad said.Iran has decided to pursue the issue through its appropriate legal path ... and to disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant powers, he said.IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian officials agreed in July that Tehran would answer questions from agency experts by December on more than two decades of nuclear activity — most of it secret until revealed over four years ago.

This week, IAEA technical officials returned to Tehran to to start probing outstanding questions, some with possible weapons applications. But while Iran is allowing the IAEA to inspect its known nuclear facilities, it no longer allows inspectors freedom to look elsewhere for suspicious activities on short notice as it once did.The U.S. initially opposed the plan, fearing it could draw attention away from Iran's defiance of the Security Council demand for a halt to Iranian uranium enrichment. It later endorsed the plan while emphasizing that must obey the council.A third Security Council resolution, with tougher sanctions, is being discussed. President Bush has refused to take military action off the table if Iran does not comply.Speaking to reporters later, Ahmadinejad attempted to clarify Tehran's stance.It's closed as a political issue, he said, stressing that it is a legal issue and therefore should have been examined solely within the framework of the IAEA.However, certain big powers ... have made every effort to turn a simple legal issue into a very loud, controversial, political issue, he said.All our efforts, most certainly, will be geared towards preventing sanctions, but you must know that the activities of the Security Council regarding Iran's nuclear issue are completely illegal, Ahmadinejad said. Iran was not without allies. Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega angrily chastised the U.S. for seeking to stop other countries from enriching uranium, which is allowed under the Nonproliferation Treaty.

Ortega said the United States, as the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on innocent people, had no right to question the right of Iran and North Korea to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.Earlier in the assembly's opening session, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pledged to push for lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region in the coming year, calling it one of the most challenging in the U.N.'s history. Bush spoke next and announced new sanctions against Myanmar's military dictatorship, accusing it of imposing a 19-year reign of fear that denies basic freedoms of speech, assembly and worship. But Bush barely mentioned Iran, a nation he also accuses of helping insurgents who are killing U.S. troops in Iraq. Amadinejad, whose speech at Columbia University on Monday provoked protests, was in the General Assembly chamber for Bush's speech. A U.N. diplomat in the chamber said the Iranian president listened to the secretary-general but pulled out his earpiece before Bush started to speak.
Asked about the protests and tough questions he faced at Columbia, Ahmadinejad told a press conference late Tuesday that he didn't find it to be difficult. I speak of my opinions and say what I need to say and others speak of theirs. After all, we are patient enough to listen to what even groups that are hostile to us say.

In his General Assembly speech, the Iranian leader lashed out at certain powers — an apparent reference to the United States and Israel — that violate human rights by setting up secret prisons, abducting people, holding trials and enacting secret punishments without any regard to due process, tapping phone conversations and intercepting people's private mail. They use various pretexts to occupy sovereign states and cause insecurity and division, and then use the prevailing situation as an excuse to continue their occupation, the Iranian president said. He then described how the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples have suffered under occupying forces. Referring to the U.S. government's policy on Iraq, he said: They even oppose the constitution, National Assembly and the government established by the vote of the people, while they do not even have the courage to declare their defeat and exit Iraq.In their view, human rights are tantamount to profits for their companies and friends. The rights and dignity of American people are also being sacrificed for the selfish desires of those holding power, he told the assembly.

Ahmadinejad, asked whether Iran recognized Israel as a state or believed it should be destroyed, said: We believe the Zionist regime is a usurpitive, illegal, occupational entity regime and the solution we have is that the Palestinian nation have self-determination, a free referendum.Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Ahmadinejad should not have been invited to address the General Assembly. Ahmadinejad is expanding a fanatic doctrine of genocide. He is developing nuclear weapons to achieve it, he said.Associated Press writers George Jahn in Vienna, Austria, Sarah DiLorenzo in New York, and Justin Bergman at the United Nations contributed to this report.
