17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Gaza Crisis EU delegation in Egypt for Gaza talks 05/01/09 13:20

As the fighting in Gaza has intensified so have diplomatic efforts to end it. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has held talks with a high level EU delegation. Hamas officials were also due in Egypt for the group’s first entry into talks since the combat erupted. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is visiting the region today for discussions with Israeli leaders. He had voiced his concerns about Israel’s actions in a meeting with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni in Paris earlier. There have been many calls for a ceasefire from the international community, but the UN Security Council has so far failed to agree on a strong statement on the conflict. The UN is most concerned about the worsening conditions inside Gaza. Israel said it is letting some aid into the Strip but has rejected talk of a humanitarian crisis.

Gaza conflict spreads to Europe with Jews attacked By JOHN LEICESTER, Associated Press Writer JAN 6,09

PARIS – Signs are mounting that the conflict in Gaza is starting to spill over into violence in Europe's towns and cities, with assaults against Jews and arson attacks on Jewish congregations in France, Sweden and Britain.Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, on Monday night. A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, also was attacked Monday night by someone who broke a window and threw in something that was burning, said police spokesman Leif Nilsson. Neighbors alerted rescue services before the fire took hold.Someone also started a blaze outside the premises last week. And on Sunday slogans including murderers ... You broke the cease-fire and don't subject Palestine to ethnic cleansing were daubed on Israel's embassy in Stockholm.In Denmark, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon of Palestinian parents is alleged to have injured two young Israelis last week, opening fire with a handgun in a shooting that police suspect could be linked to the Gaza crisis.France has Western Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim communities and a history of anti-Semitic violence flaring when tensions in the Middle East are high. In 2002, some 2,300 Jews left France for Israel because they felt unsafe.President Nicolas Sarkozy warned in a statement Tuesday that France would not tolerate violence linked to the Gaza crisis. A day earlier, his interior minister said she was concerned about the prospect of contagion and met with the heads of the two main Muslim and Jewish groups and police officials to stress the need to preserve national unity.

Damage to the synagogue in Toulouse was limited to a blackened gate, and there were no injuries even though a rabbi was giving a course to adults inside, authorities said. They said unlighted gasoline bombs were also found in a car nearby and in the synagogue's yard. A local Jewish leader, Armand Partouche, said he believed the assailants had planned to torch the synagogue, but fled when the building's alarm went off.It could have been very, very serious, Partouche said in a telephone interview. There were people inside; there could have been deaths.He said Jewish leaders are asking Toulouse authorities for reinforced security for the city's synagogues.We really fear that anti-Semitism will spring up again and that the current conflict will be transposed to our beautiful French republic, he said.In Britain, the Community Security Trust, a Jewish defense group, said it had seen a rise in anti-Semitic incidents since the start of Israel's offensive against Gaza. The group said it had recorded 20-25 incidents across the country in the past week that it believed were connected with Gaza, including an arson attempt on a synagogue in north London on Sunday.London police are investigating the attack, in which suspects splashed flammable liquid on the door and set it on fire.Community Security Trust spokesman Mark Gardner said that in another incident last week a gang of 15-20 youths walked along the main street in Golders Green, a largely Jewish neighborhood in north London, shouting Jew and Free Palestine at passers-by.It could get worse, Gardner said. We tend to see these things happen in waves.The government in Belgium on Tuesday ordered police in Antwerp and Brussels to be on increased alert after recent pro-Palestinian protests ended in violence and dozens of arrests. Police said burning rags were shoved through the mailbox of a Jewish home in Antwerp last weekend. Damage was limited and no arrests were made.

In the Danish shooting, one Israeli man was shot in the arm and another in the leg as they were selling hair care products in a shopping mall. Eli Ruvio, who owns the company that operated the stands, said his employees have been harassed by Muslim youths since they set up three kiosks in the shopping center in August.They kept cursing and shouting at us, Ruvio told The Associated Press. He added that the Muslim youths also threw mud and firecrackers at the employees and spat at them.Ruvio recalled an episode Dec. 27 when some of the youths shouted slaughter all the Jews.I told my employees not to speak in Hebrew and lie about where they come from, they should say there were from Spain or somewhere else. If people ask you where you are from, never say you're from Israel, he said. Associated Press Writers Jill Lawless in London, Jan M. Olsen in Copenhagen, Malin Rising in Stockholm, Robert Wielaard in Brussels and Audrey Sommazi in Toulouse contributed to this report.

Chronology of Israel's relationship with Gaza By The Associated Press JAN 6,09

• June 1967: Israel captures the Egyptian-controlled Gaza Strip during six-day Mideast war. An Israeli census put the population at 380,000, at least half of whom were refugees from Israel. Today the population stands at about 1.5 million. The U.N. lists just over 1 million as refugees and their descendants.

• December 1987: A clash in the Jebaliya refugee camp sets off Palestinian uprising, which lasted until 1993 and claimed the lives of more than 2,000 Palestinians and 192 Israelis. The militant Islamic Hamas is formed early in the uprising.

• September 2005: Israel withdraws its troops and all of its 8,500 Jewish settlers. It retains control of Gaza's airspace, coastal waters and border crossings.

• June 2007: Hamas violently seizes control of Gaza after routing forces loyal to rival Fatah faction of President Mahmoud Abbas.

• June 2008: Hamas and Israel reach truce to halt the cross-border rocket attacks and end Israeli offensives in Gaza.

• November 2008: Palestinians resume rocket and mortar fire into Israel after Israeli incursion.

• Dec. 19, 2008: Hamas formally declares the truce over, rocket fire on Israel intensifies.

• Dec. 27, 2008: Israel launches a fierce air offensive, killing more than 200 Palestinians in the first day.

• Jan. 3: Thousands of Israeli troops launch a ground offensive in Gaza.

Gaza fighting continues as diplomatic efforts falter
ELITSA VUCHEVA Today JAN 6,09 @ 09:35 CET

The Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip continued on Tuesday (6 January), reaching Gaza city, despite international calls for ceasefire and multiplying diplomatic efforts in the region.Israeli troops clashed with Palestinian militants on the edge of the densely populated Gaza City, home to around 1.4 million people, on Monday night, with fighting still raging in the city in the early hours of Tuesday, news agencies report.Israeli tanks also entered Khan Yunis, the largest city in southern Gaza.The third night of Israel's ground assault - the eleventh day of the war on Gaza - brings the death toll on the Palestinian side to around 550 people, including around 100 children, according to emergency services figures reported by the AFP news agency.More than 2,500 have been wounded.For its part, Hamas has continued its rocket fire on Israel. Five Israeli civilians and one soldier have been killed so far by Hamas militants, while three Israeli soldiers died and 24 were wounded in a friendly fire incident in northern Gaza.Meanwhile, international calls for a truce have continued, with the US State Department saying it was seeking a unlimited tripartite ceasefire focussing on Hamas - including a halt to rocket firing into Israel, a re-opening of crossings on the border and addressing the issue of tunnels used for smuggling via Egypt - and a high-level EU delegation meeting both Israeli and Palestinian politicians on Monday.But Czech foreign minister Karel Schwarzenberg – whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency – said the EU's role in the conflict would be limited to trying to mediate a solution at this stage, rather than looking into the content of a possible truce proposal.

We didn't have a specific plan for the ceasefire because the ceasefire must be concluded by the parties. We can help it, mediate, assist a solution, but it is not up to us to propose the conditions of the ceasefire, which should be established as soon as possible, Mr Schwarzenberg said, the Jerusalem Post reports. French President Nicolas Sarkozy also met both Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas in Ramallah on Monday, and expressed his deep concern at the situation.He called the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel irresponsible and unforgivable, while calling on Israel to take the risk of peace.Following his statement that Hamas bore a heavy responsibility for the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, Mr Sarkozy was accused by Hamas of being totally biased.Israel rejects immediate ceasefire.

Despite the appeals, Israel rejected the possibility of an immediate ceasefire with foreign minister Tzipi Livni saying: Hamas targets Israel whenever it likes and Israel shows restraint.This is no longer going to be the equation in this region. When Israel is being targeted, Israel is going to retaliate.Mr Olmert also later told the French president that Israel's invasion would continue as long as Hamas could fire rockets at Israel.The results of the operation must be ... that Hamas must not only stop firing, but must no longer be able to fire, he was quoted as saying by AFP.Meanwhile, an official from Mr Olmert's office told the Jerusalem Post that Tel Aviv was aware the war would end one day, while stressing the international community's role in the process.Ultimately, we understand that on the day this is over, regional and international actors will have an important role to play in maintaining the quiet, and specifically in preventing the re-arming of Hamas, the official said.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

Germany nears agreement on new stimulus package
HONOR MAHONY Today JAN 6,09 @ 09:16 CET

The governing coalition in Germany on Monday (5 January) indicated that its latest economic stimulus package could run to €50 billion over two years.According to Germany daily Die Welt, Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and their junior coalition partner, the Social Democrats (SPD), have still to agree which measures should be financed with the money.While both sides continue to work on the details of the package, it is expected to deliver help for business, more infrastructure spending and modest tax cuts. Tax was one of the areas causing the most difficulty. The conservatives wanted to see sharp tax cuts included in the measures while the SPD were pushing for a rise in taxes on the rich.Germany has been widely criticised for acting too slowly after the scale of the global financial crisis became apparent in the second half of 2008.Ms Merkel was dubbed Madame Non in some European quarters and a first stimulus package of €23 billion unveiled in the autumn of last year was derided for being too small.

Natural gas shortages slam some European nations By MARIA DANILOVA, Associated Press Writer Maria JAN 06,09

KIEV, Ukraine – A natural gas crisis loomed over Europe on Tuesday, as a contract dispute between Russia and Ukraine shut off Russian gas supplies to six countries and reduced gas deliveries to several others.At least two Bulgarian cities were totally without gas, and nations like Turkey were turning to Iran to bolster their supplies.In a sharp turnaround, the European Union blasted Russia and Ukraine, saying the sudden cutoff to some of its member countries was completely unacceptable. Just a day ago, the EU was trying to downplay any problems from the gas dispute.In response, Russia and Ukraine agreed to hold new talks on the contract dispute over Russian natural gas that travels to Europe through Ukraine's pipelines. The two neighbors are locked in a dispute over pricing and overdue payments. Russia cut off supplies to Ukraine on Jan. 1 but had promised to keep gas moving to Europe.

The head of the Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz, Oleh Dubina, said he would travel to Moscow on Thursday for new talks. He made the decision after speaking to Alexei Miller, chief executive of Gazprom, Russia's state-controlled monopoly gas supplier.

Given the crisis situation, we are ready to start talks at any moment, said Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov.Wednesday is Orthodox Christmas, a holiday in both Russia and Ukraine.The energy dispute sharply escalated Tuesday when six countries on the other end of the pipeline network running from Russia through Ukraine reported a complete shutoff. Russia supplies Europe with about a quarter of its gas, 80 percent of which is shipped through Ukraine.Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia and Turkey all reported a halt in gas shipments. Croatia said it was temporarily reducing supplies to industrial customers and urged consumers to use gas sparingly in their homes. Bulgaria said it had enough gas for only for a few days.

Bulgaria's President Georgi Parvanov said the country could start immediate preparations to relaunch Unit 3 of its Kozlodui nuclear power plant. The aging two 440-megawatt reactors were shut down two years ago, and Parvanov said one of them could be opened within a month.Two cities in eastern Bulgaria, Varna and Dobrich, were left with no natural gas supplies on Tuesday. In Varna, on the Black Sea coast, the shortage left 12,000 households without central heating amid freezing temperatures.Turkey's Energy Minister Hilmi Guler confirmed the gas cutoff and said the country was trying to compensate with supplies from other sources including another Russian pipeline beneath the Black Sea.During a similar dispute between Ukraine and Russia in 2006, which lasted just three days, several West European countries saw their gas supplies drop by 30 percent or more. That crisis led to criticism of Russia as an unreliable energy partner and spurred talk of finding ways to diversify Europe's energy supply.Up to Monday, the EU has said that the dispute would not affect consumers in the coming weeks. The sudden drops Tuesday, however, increased the diplomatic pressure to find a solution.In a strongly worded statement, the EU complained that gas had been cut without prior warning and in clear contradiction with the reassurances given by the highest Russian and Ukrainian authorities to the European Union.Other countries lost significant amounts of gas as well. Austria lost 90 percent of its normal Russian gas supplies on Tuesday — about half its total supply. It said it had three months' gas reserves but called an emergency meeting at its Economy Ministry.In Slovakia, gas importer SPP AS was considering declaring a state of emergency Tuesday after its gas deliveries from Russia were down by 70 percent.

The Czech Republic and Hungary also reported significant supply drops. The Czech gas company RWE Transgas said it expects only 25 percent of its normal supplies Tuesday from Russia, while Hungary predicted its cut would be greater than the 20 percent it saw on Monday. Moscow and Kiev, meanwhile, blamed each other. Naftogaz said Gazprom had sharply reduced its shipments to Europe through pipelines crossing Ukraine, triggering the cuts. Gazprom accused Ukraine of stealing gas shipments intended for other nations. Kiev denied it was stealing Russian gas. It said was using some of its own gas as fuel to transport the rest of the Russian gas to Europe. Naftogaz says Gazprom is obliged to provide this gas but is refusing. Gazprom said it was sure it could provide Europe with enough gas. We are confident that we will be able to get through this situation without any damage to the gas production and transit system, deputy chairman Alexander Medvedev was quoted as saying by RIA-Novosti. The only issue is gas transit to Europe through Ukraine.On Monday Gazprom said it would cut the amount of gas it ships to Europe through Ukraine by 65.3 million cubic meters, or about 20 percent — the amount it accuses Ukraine of diverting from its transit pipeline network over recent days. Poland was considering limits on deliveries to heavy industry, even though so far Russia has compensated for shortfalls through Ukraine by shipping extra gas to Poland through a pipeline in Belarus. Associated Press writers Veselin Toshkov in Sofia, Bulgaria, Bill Kole in Vienna, and Karel Janicek in Bratislava, Slovakia, contributed to this report.

Russian gas supplies to EU dive overnight
PHILIPPA RUNNER Today JAN 6,09 @ 09:16 CET

Russian supplies of gas to the EU via Ukraine dived by 70 percent overnight from Monday (5 January) to Tuesday Ukraine says, with Bulgarian consumers told to turn off gas stoves after an emergency government meeting.Gazprom has begun pumping gas to the EU via Ukraine at just 92 million cubic metres a day compared to 270 million cubic metres the day before, Ukraine state gas firm Naftogaz said. We do not understand how we will deliver gas to Europe, Naftogaz spokesman Valentin Zemlyansky told newswires. This means that in a few hours, problems with supplies to Europe will begin.Russian gas stopped flowing to Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia and Turkey at around 3:30 am Sofia time on Tuesday, with the Bulgarian government holding an emergency meeting at 7:00 am and urging people to switch to alternative heating sources.Bulgaria - where temperatures stood at minus seven degrees Celsius on Tuesday and are forecast to hit minus 15 this week - relies on Russia for almost all its gas, while running coal and nuclear power plants as well.We are in a crisis situation, Bulgaria's economy ministry said in a statement.The sudden supply drop marks a sharp escalation in the 2009 gas crisis, putting it on an equal footing with the 2006 gas crunch when Russian levels also dived by 200 million cubic metres overnight.Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had on Monday instructed Gazprom to cut Ukraine's EU-bound gas by a smaller amount - 65 million cubic metres - to cover volumes allegedly stolen by Ukraine.Cut it now, Mr Putin told Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller live on Russian TV, amid promises to boost EU supplies via smaller pipelines in Belarus and Turkey instead.A delegation of European Commission and Czech EU presidency officials is in Kiev on a fact-finding mission on Tuesday, with EU officials to also meet Gazprom staff in Berlin the same day.A meeting of the Gas Co-ordination Group - bringing together EU member states, Russian and Ukrainian energy experts - has also been tabled for Friday in Brussels.The commission has so far said it would not intervene in the dispute unless it affected EU consumers, calling it a commercial and bilateral matter for Russia and Ukraine.

Most EU states at a meeting of EU deputy ambassadors in Brussels on Monday took the same line, despite Lithuanian calls for the EU to help Ukraine in what Vilnius sees as Russian political bullying.It was repeated many times that this is a purely commercial dispute, Czech EU presidency spokesman Radek Honzak told EUobserver. Lithuania does not speak for the European Union.The gas row erupted on 1 January after Gazprom accused Naftogaz of not paying its 2008 bill and after Ukraine rejected a 150 percent price increase for 2009 gas deliveries.The EU gets about one fifth of its daily gas needs from Russia via Ukraine.

MANOKWARI, Indonesia – A series of powerful earthquakes killed a 10-year-old girl and seriously injured dozens in remote eastern Indonesia, briefly triggering fears of another tsunami in a country still recovering from 2004's deadly waves.One of the quakes — of magnitude 7.3 — was felt as far away as Australia and sent small tsunamis into Japan's southeastern coast.Residents near the epicenter in Papua province rushed from their homes in search of higher ground shortly after the first 7.6-magnitude quake struck Sunday at 4:43 a.m. local time (1943 GMT), afraid that huge waves might wash over the island.The epicenter was about 85 miles (135 kilometers) from Papua's main city of Manokwari and occurred at a depth of 22 miles (35 kilometers), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was followed by dozens of aftershocks.Nearly fifty people were admitted to hospitals with broken bones and head wounds, while more than 300 were treated for minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, local health official Henri Sembiring said Monday.About 135 homes and other buildings were badly damaged or toppled in the province, the National Disaster Coordination Agency said.Officials initially reported four deaths, but later discovered three people had died from illnesses.The 10-year-old girl was killed in her home when a wall collapsed, said hospital director Hengky Tewu. Her head was crushed, he said.

Power lines fell, cutting off electricity, and the runway of Manokwari's Rendani airport was cracked, prompting the cancellation of commercial flights.The government initially issued a tsunami warning but lifted it within an hour after it was confirmed that the epicenter was on land, not water.Quakes centered onshore pose little tsunami threat to Indonesia itself, but those close to the coast can churn up large waves that sometimes reach the coastlines of other countries such as Japan.Japan reported tsunamis between 4 inches (10 centimeters) and 16 inches (40 centimeters) high hitting its shores following the temblors.A huge quake off western Indonesia caused the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed about 230,000 people. Four years on, the multibillion dollar rebuilding process is almost complete.

Residents in Papua's Manokwari — a jumble of low-lying brick and cement structures home to 167,000 people — remained wary of aftershocks.We don't feel safe, said Simon, 32, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. He was staying outside with his wife and three kids. It's just in case there are strong aftershocks.Local officials drove through the streets warning people not to return to structures that might be vulnerable if an aftershock hit.The Indonesian Health Ministry was sending an aid team to Manokwari as well as four tons of medical supplies and baby food, spokeswoman Lily Sulistyowati said.Relief agency World Vision Indonesia was flying in 2,000 emergency provision kits, including canned food, blankets and basic medical supplies, said spokeswoman Katarina Hardono. She said its team will try to reach Manokwari by plane, but if needed will make a 36-hour trip by boat. Papua — located about 1,830 miles (2,955 kilometers) east of the capital Jakarta — is among the nation's least developed areas, and a low-level insurgency has simmered in the resource-rich region for years. It is off limits to foreign reporters. The quake was felt 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) southwest of Papua in Australia's northern city of Darwin but no damage was reported there.

Guatemalan mudslide kills 35, injures 15 By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jan 6, 7:19 am ET

GUATEMALA CITY – Rescuers dug through tons of mud late Monday in search of more victims of a massive landslide that buried a long stretch of highway in northern Guatemala, killing at least 35 coffee workers and travelers using the road.Vice President Rafael Espada said he feared the death toll could rise by at least a dozen more. About 15 other people were injured when the mass of mud and rock roared down a mountain Sunday near the village of Aquil Grande.Dozens of families watched anxiously as 165 rescuers dug through the collapsed mountainside, which continued to rain down rocks and dirt. Rescuers lined up the dead at a cemetery where people tried to identify them.Roadwork along the highway could have triggered the slide, said Angel Estrada, the head of the rescue effort.Authorities still do not know how many people were in the area when the landslide buried more than a kilometer (nearly a mile) of highway.At least 35 people were killed, said Hugo Arvizu, a spokesman for Guatemala's National Disaster Prevention Agency.Leopoldo Ical, mayor of the nearby city of San Cristobal Verapaz, said at least 100 people were in the area, boarding or disembarking from buses. Many of the victims were laborers from nearby communities who worked on coffee plantations, he said.We are very dismayed by this tragedy, Ical said. The landslide is so big, we don't have much hope of recovering many more bodies.

Juana Alonso, sobbing, recounted how she lost two sons in the slide. One, 22, was killed while returning to another province with his wife and daughter following a Christmas visit here with the family. The other, 26, was returning home to a nearby village.Two people were killed in a landslide along the same road two weeks ago, and the highway had been blocked since. But scores of coffee workers walked around the barricaded stretch of roadway to reach buses headed for the plantations, Ical said.

About 300 families from the tiny Mayan mountain villages of Aquil Grande and Aquil Pequeno were evacuated Monday to a nearby village to protect them in case more landslides occur in the weakened area.Police also arrested two men who were caught robbing people's homes in Aquil Grande after residents went to see if their loved ones were buried in the landslide.

Thousands displaced by floods in Philippines: officials Jan 3, 2:32 am ET

CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines (AFP) – About 5,000 families in the southern Philippines have been displaced by flash floods and large waves spawned by heavy rains, officials said Saturday.Over a hundred houses have been destroyed and many people are fleeing their homes in the face of rising waters in the northern part of the southern island of Mindanao, civil defence officials said.Regional civil defence director Carmelito Lupo said that most of those whose homes were destroyed were from Cagayan de Oro city but officials were still trying to get information on the situation in the surrounding areas.Local officials in Cagayan de Oro said that over 2,000 families had to be evacuated to basketball courts due to rising waters on river banks.Evacuations were also under way in nearby Ginoog City and other areas where flash floods have been reported, said provincial officials.Local officials said two children, aged one and two, were narrowly rescued from the floods but no casualties had been reported yet.

Floods kill five in central Vietnam Fri Jan 2, 9:42 pm

HANOI (Reuters) – Unseasonable floods brought by rains this week have killed at least five people in central Vietnam while 10 others remained missing, the government and state-run media said Saturday.Waters were now receding in main rivers in the region but three including a woman drowned in Quang Nam province and another 44-year-old man died in floods in the neighboring province of Quang Ngai, the government said in a disaster report.A 22-year-old man died in Binh Dinh province while nine fishermen were among the missing after their boats sank, Saturday's Thanh Nien newspaper quoted provincial disaster reports as saying.Floods and storms often strike central Vietnam between August and November but heavy rains since Monday caused by a cold spell hit the region widely exposed to the sea and raised river waters.The government said more than 5,000 homes were submerged and floods also inundated a combined 74,400 hectares of rice in five provinces. The affected area is not the key growing region for rice and coffee, Vietnam's main agro-products for exports.(Reporting by Ho Binh Minh; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)

Floods, mounting snow ruin buildings in Northwest Fri Jan 2, 9:12 pm ET

PORTLAND, Ore. – A mud slide destroyed a home Friday, briefly trapping its occupants, and flooding, mud and deep snow blocked roads as the latest winter storm pummeled the Northwest.Residents of a home in suburban Lake Oswego called 911 early Friday saying they were trapped after mud flowed into their home, filling the first floor. They escaped out a window and were taken to a hospital, said deputy Fire Marshall Gert Zoutendijk. He said their lives were not in danger.Authorities said 21 nearby homes were evacuated.Outside Portland in Clackamas County, about 30 families were evacuated from a mobile home park because of flooding and about 60 roads were closed. County officials declared a state of emergency.Also in Clackamas County, floods crept into the Estacada library, ruining thousands of books before the water receded. A layer of silt remained.The storm dropped just over 3 inches of rain east of Portland before the sky cleared during the morning, and 3.9 inches fell in Aurora, south of the city.In eastern Washington and northern Idaho, at least two roofs collapsed under the weight of mounting snow Friday.Jeff Roma had been up clearing snow off the roof of his Spokane business, Buck's Tire and Automotive, on Friday morning when the roof started to collapse.I heard it start to go and I had to get off, Roma told The Spokesman-Review.He was not injured.

In nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a business owner and his dog narrowly escaped from a jewelry store before the roof caved in.The risk of roof collapse caused a Spokane-area Costco to close Friday and hire a contractor to shovel its roof. In addition, three Wal-Mart stores were closed in the region while snow was cleared from their roofs, The Spokesman-Review reported.About 4 to 5 inches of snow fell in Spokane on Friday, bringing the season's total to 69 inches. More snow was expected over the weekend.

Turkey holds suspicious Iran-Venezuela shipment By SELCAN HACAOGLU, Associated Press Writer JAN 6,09

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey was holding a suspicious shipment bound for Venezuela from Iran because it contained lab equipment capable of producing explosives, a customs official said Tuesday.Suleyman Tosun, a customs official at the Mediterranean port of Mersin, said military experts were asked to examine the material, which was seized last month, and decide whether to let the shipment to go to Venezuela.

Authorities detected the equipment during a search of 22 containers labeled tractor parts, Tosun said. They were brought to Mersin by trucks from neighboring Iran, he said. Turkey's Interior Ministry said an investigation was under way.Experts from Turkey's Atomic Institute determined there were no traces of radioactive material, but said the equipment was enough to set up an explosives lab, Tosun said. We have asked the military to send experts to determine whether to resume the shipment.Some barrels, labeled with danger signs, contained chemicals. Tosun said details were still unclear.An Iranian embassy official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the shipment contained nothing important.Iran and Venezuela operate various joint ventures in Venezuela, including plants to assemble tractors and cars. The two countries also have agreed to team up on petrochemical projects.Associated Press Writer Suzan Fraser in Ankara contributed to this report.

Death toll in Zimbabwe cholera epidemic at 1,732: WHO JAN 6,09

GENEVA (AFP) – At least 1,732 people have died in Zimbabwe's cholera epidemic and the number of cases diagnosed has risen to 34,306, the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday.The organisation last Thursday reported 1,586 dead and 31,656 suspected cases of the water-borne disease.United Nations aid agencies have been warning for weeks that the number of cases could top 60,000, with the impending rainy season likely to facilitate the spread of the disease.All 10 of the country's provinces have been hit, according to UN statistics, which remain incomplete because of a lack of local medical personnel and communications problems.Zimbabweans are also struggling against hyper-inflation, severe food shortages and chronic political instability.

Blast damages fourth Western Canada gas well site Mon Jan 5, 1:35 pm ET

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) – Police are investigating what appears to be the fourth bombing of an EnCana Corp natural gas facility in the Western Canadian province of British Columbia, authorities said on Monday.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said workers for the country's largest energy company found a partly destroyed metering shed at a well near Tomslake, in northeastern British Columbia, on Sunday.No injuries or gas leaks were reported as a result of the explosion, south of Dawson Creek, near the Alberta provincial boundary.The well was shut in as a precaution. It's a single-well site, EnCana spokesman Alan Boras said. Because of the incident, the site was turned over to the RCMP for investigation.Three other EnCana energy facilities in the region have been damaged by explosions since October, and police have yet to announce any suspects.In early December, investigators appealed to the public for help.They said the bombs could have been planted by one person acting alone or a group with some grievance toward the company. Police also said they believed the saboteur, or saboteurs, lived in the region.Gas well valves and other equipment owned by other energy companies have also been vandalized and tampered with in recent weeks.EnCana's damaged wells produce gas from the Montney tight sands formation, one of a host of unconventional gas plays in North America that the industry has targeted for billions of dollars of investment.All four were drilled within the last five years, Boras said.Tight sands and shale gas deposits, located in such regions as British Columbia, Texas and Louisiana, are known for immense size, but require prolific drilling and expensive rock fracturing techniques to maintain production.(Reporting by Jeffrey Jones; editing by Peter Galloway)
