150,000 Haiti quake victims buried, gov't says By VIVIAN SEQUERA and MIKE MELIA, Associated Press Writers – Sun Jan 24, 8:53 pm ET

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The truckers filling Haiti's mass graves with bodies reported ever higher numbers: More than 150,000 quake victims have been buried by the government, an official said Sunday.That doesn't count those still under the debris, carried off by relatives or killed in the outlying quake zone.Nobody knows how many bodies are buried in the rubble — 200,000? 300,000? Who knows the overall death toll? said the official, Communications Minister Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue.Dealing with the living, meanwhile, a global army of aid workers was getting more food into people's hands, but acknowledged falling short.We wish we could do more, quicker, said U.N. World Food Program chief Josette Sheeran, visiting Port-au-Prince.In the Cite Soleil slum, U.S. soldiers and Brazilian U.N. peacekeeping troops distributed food. Lunie Marcelin, 57, said the handouts will help her and six grown children but it is not enough. We need more.Yet another aftershock, one of more than 50 since the great quake Jan. 12, shook Port-au-Prince on Sunday, registering 4.7 magnitude, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no immediate reports of further damage.The Haitian government was urging many of the estimated 600,000 homeless huddled in open areas of Port-au-Prince, a city of 2 million, to look for better shelter with relatives or others in the countryside. Some 200,000 were believed already to have done so, most taking advantage of free government transportation, and others formed a steady stream out of the city on Sunday.International experts searched for sites to erect tent cities for quake refugees on the capital's outskirts, but such short-term solutions were still weeks away, said the International Organization for Migration, an intergovernmental agency.

We also need tents. There is a shortage of tents, said Vincent Houver, the Geneva-based agency's chief of mission in Haiti. Their Port-au-Prince warehouse has 10,000 family-size tents, but some 100,000 are needed, he said. The organization has appealed for $30 million for that and other needs, and has received two-thirds of that so far.In the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake, the casualty estimates have been necessarily tentative. Lassegue told The Associated Press the government's figure of 150,000 buried, from the capital area alone, was reported by CNE, a state company collecting corpses and burying them north of Port-au-Prince.That number would tend to confirm an overall estimate of 200,000 dead reported last week by the European Commission, citing Haitian government sources. The United Nations, meanwhile, was sticking Sunday with an earlier confirmed death toll of at least 111,481, based on recovered bodies.The final casualty estimates, which the European Commission said also include some 250,000 injured, will clearly place the Haiti earthquake among the deadliest natural catastrophes of recent times. That list includes: the 1970 Bangladesh cyclone, believed to have killed 300,000 people; the 1974 northeast China earthquake, which killed at least 242,000 people; and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, with 226,000 dead.One who wouldn't die in Port-au-Prince was Wismond Exantus, who was extricated from the rubble Saturday. He spoke with the AP from his cot in a French field hospital on Sunday, saying the first thing he wanted to do was find a church to give thanks.He spent the 11 days buried in the ruins of a hotel grocery store praying, reciting psalms and sleeping, he said.I wasn't afraid because I knew they were searching and would come for me, he said.With such rescues now increasingly unlikely, Haiti's government has declared an end to search operations for the living, shifting the focus more than ever to caring for the thousands surviving in squalid, makeshift camps.

The World Food Program had delivered about 2 million meals to the needy on Friday, up from 1.2 million on Thursday, Sheeran said. But she acknowledged that much more was needed.This is the most complex operation WFP has ever launched, she said.Food distribution is very difficult,said Dr. Henry Ariel of the Haitian Health Ministry.The food doesn't reach up to now everyone.The scene Sunday at Cite Soleil, the capital's largest and most notorious slum, showed the need. Thousands of men, women and children lined up and waited peacefully for their turn as the American and Brazilian troops handed out aid — the Americans gave ready-to-eat meals, high-energy biscuits and bottled water, the Brazilians passed out small bags holding uncooked beans, salt, sugar and sardines, as well as water. The need for medical care, especially surgery, postoperative care and drugs, still overwhelmed the help available, aid agencies reported. In the isolated southern port city of Jacmel alone, about 100 patients needed surgery as of Friday, the U.N. reported. Medical personnel were there, but not the necessary surgery supplies. In Port-au-Prince, meanwhile, the aid group Doctors Without Borders said its inflatable hospital — six large inflatable tents flown in from France — was preparing for its first operations. At the Choscal hospital in Cite Soleil, the operating room has been busy with obstetric cases and some machete and gunshot wounds, Doctors Without Borders said, as looting and violence sputtered on among the ruins. The numbers of young men scavenging for goods seemed lower, however, since most shops were already entirely cleaned out. The world's nations have pledged some $1 billion in emergency aid to Haiti. Organizers of Friday night's Hope for Haiti Now international telethon reported the event raised $57 million, with more pledges from ordinary people still coming in.Associated Press writers contributing to this story included Michelle Faul, Ben Fox and Paul Haven in Port-au-Prince, and Charles J. Hanley in Mexico City.

China rejects claims of Internet hacking attacks By GILLIAN WONG, Associated Press Writer - JAN 25,10

BEIJING – The Chinese government denied involvement in Internet attacks and defended its online censorship Monday after the United States urged Beijing to investigate complaints of cyber intrusions in a dispute that has added tension to bilateral relations.China's policy against Internet hacking attacks is transparent and consistent, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said, nearly two weeks after search giant Google Inc. threatened to pull out of the country after finding that the e-mails of activists had been pried into.Any accusation that the Chinese government participated in cyber attacks, either in an explicit or indirect way, is groundless and aims to discredit China, an unidentified ministry spokesman said.We are firmly opposed to that, the spokesman said, according to a transcript of an interview with the official Xinhua News Agency posted on the ministry's Web site Monday.The State Council, China's Cabinet, defended the country's regulation of the Internet, saying it is legal and that other parties should not interfere in Beijing's domestic affairs, Xinhua reported.The remarks follow a Jan. 12 threat from Google to pull out of China unless the government relented on censorship. The ultimatum came after Google said it had uncovered a computer attack that tried to plunder its software coding and the e-mail accounts of human rights activists protesting Chinese policies.

Google traced the attacks on its computers to hackers in China, but hasn't directly tied them to the Chinese government or its agents.A Chinese Internet security official questioned Google's allegation that its servers had been attacked by hackers traced to China, saying the search giant had yet to report its complaints to the China National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team.We have been hoping that Google will contact us so that we could have details on this issue and provide them help if necessary, Zhou Yonglin, the team's deputy chief of operations, said in an interview with Xinhua, also posted on the Internet security team's Web site.Most cyber attacks on Chinese computers have originated from the United States, Zhou said, with hackers implanting malicious software such as Trojans, which can allow outside access to the target's computer, to illegally control computers.Last year, 262,000 Internet protocol addresses — the string of numbers that shows a computer's location — in China were attacked by Trojans planted by nearly 165,000 overseas IP addresses, Zhou said. Most of the attacks were from IP addresses in the U.S., making up 16.6 percent, he said.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spokesman said China was the biggest victim of Web attacks, and that last year more than 42,000 Web sites were tampered by hackers, while 18 million computers a month were infected by the Conficker worm virus, which can slow computers and steal personal information.

Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized countries engaging in cyberspace censorship and urged China to investigate computer attacks against Google. In a speech in Washington, Clinton cited China as among a number of countries where there had been a spike in threats to the free flow of information over the past year. She also named Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam.China's Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of damaging relations between the countries while a Chinese state newspaper said Washington was imposing information imperialism on China.Internet control is considered a critical matter of state security in China, and Beijing is not expected to offer any concessions in the dispute with Google. Beijing promotes Internet use for commerce, but heavily censors content it deems pornographic, anti-social or politically subversive and blocks many foreign news and social media sites, including Twitter and Facebook, and the popular video-sharing site YouTube.

Taiwan set to open key trade talks with China By PETER ENAV, Associated Press Writer – JAN 25,10

TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan and China open negotiations Tuesday in Beijing on a trade pact that seems destined to change the island's character in a way not seen since it split from the Chinese mainland amid civil war 60 years ago.The accord seeks to add momentum to Taiwan's already improving relationship with China, reducing tariff barriers, liberalizing investment regulations and creating new structures for financial cooperation.Debate on the accord has dominated political discourse on the island of 23 million people since the issue was broached by President Ma Ying-jeou's China-friendly government a year ago.It goes right to the heart of Taiwan's future: Should it risk undermining its economic prospects by rejecting the embrace of China? Or should it cast its lot with the communist colossus, and increase the chances of losing its de facto independence and its hard-won democratic freedoms? Ma and his ruling Nationalist Party don't see things so starkly. They say they can maintain Taiwan's sovereignty even while linking the island ever closer to China's lucrative markets and in the process dilute Beijing's long-standing objections to additional trade agreements between Taiwan and other Asian nations.Ma says the deal must be sealed by May because a pending Chinese trade agreement with countries in Southeast Asia will soon price many Taiwanese exports out of the regional marketplace. He sees the China accord as the best way of counteracting an international commercial isolation that in recent years has seen Taiwan lag behind business rivals South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong.

We have already fallen behind in the process of regional economic integration among Asian countries, Ma told a Taiwanese newspaper last week. And things will worsen if we don't change the situation.Opponents of the proposed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, or ECFA, reject Ma's arguments out of hand. They say that with China fully committed to bringing Taiwan back under its control, what is needed is less economic contact with the mainland rather than more.You have to ask what is China's major purpose in signing ECFA, said international relations specialist Lo Chih-cheng of Taipei's Soochow University.It is to increase Taiwan's political and economic dependence on Beijing.Lo said the government's claims that the accord would add more than 1 percent to Taiwan's annual growth are badly misplaced, because the island will eventually have to let in Chinese exports like agricultural goods that will strongly undermine local markets.Lo also ridiculed Ma's insistence that after the agreement is signed, other Asian countries will feel liberated from Chinese political pressure, and sign their own trade agreements with Taipei.It doesn't make any sense for China to let them do that, he said.It won't allow anything that reduces Taiwan's dependence on the mainland. After all, the whole point of ECFA is to increase it.Even before Ma assumed the presidency 20 months ago, Taiwan already was moving to leverage its natural advantages in the China market — a common language and similar culture — to increase commercial ties. Drawn by cheap land and labor, Taiwanese businesspeople established thousands of factories in Chinese coastal provinces and stepped up their exports of electronics components and other goods for mainland assembly.By 2008, Taiwan's China investments exceeded $100 billion and annual trade was running at a similar amount — heavily in Taiwan's favor.

But since Ma took office in May 2008, the contacts have taken on new momentum — in stark opposition to the pro-independence policies of the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party, which ruled the island for eight years until Ma came to power.
Regular flights and shipping services across the 100-mile- (160-kilometer-) wide Taiwan Strait have been inaugurated, and regulations for cross-strait investment liberalized. Tuesday's start of trade accord negotiations in Beijing will further clear the way for the Taiwanese economy's integration into that of the mainland.Ma has promised that Taiwan's Legislature will examine the pact after negotiations are completed, but with his Nationalist Party enjoying an overwhelming majority in the chamber, it is not expected to hold up its implementation for long.Still, the anti-Ma opposition has made considerable gains in recent weeks and the strong showings in local and legislative by-elections are widely attributed to public disquiet over the trade accord. DPP leader Tsai Ing-wen said the party feels confident it can leverage the matter again to make further electoral gains later this year. Besides worries about greater Chinese influence over Taiwan, Tsai said that Taiwanese are concerned that the pact will force thousands of smaller enterprises to pull up stakes for the mainland, or risk being priced out of business. She said the result would be job losses running into the hundreds of thousands, and a stepped-up erosion of Taiwan's relative income equality.

NKorea threatens war after South's strike warning By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer – Sun Jan 24, 4:52 am ET

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea threatened South Korea with war Sunday after Seoul warned it would launch a pre-emptive strike if the North was preparing a nuclear attack — the latest salvo in a battle of rhetoric despite signs of improved cooperation across the militarized frontier.The North's military said it would take prompt and decisive military action against any South Korean attempt to violate North Korea's dignity and sovereignty and would blow up major targets in the South, including its command center.Our revolutionary armed forces will regard the scenario for pre-emptive strike, which the South Korean puppet authorities adopted as a state policy, as an open declaration of war," the General Staff of the Korean People's Army said in a statement carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.The North's warning came in response to the South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-young's remarks last week that the South should launch a pre-emptive strike on North Korea if there was a clear indication the country was preparing a nuclear attack.A South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Won Tae-jae dismissed the North's statement Sunday as a predictable reaction.Kim made similar remarks in 2008 when he was chairman of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, prompting North Korea to threaten South Korea with destruction.Analysts in South Korea said the North's latest statement reflected its intolerance of any challenge to its own security and the authoritarian regime leader Kim Jong Il but that the war of words was unlikely to derail attempts to improve relations.The North has sent a clear message that it was ready for cooperation with South Korea, but it won't tolerate it if South Korea touches on the prestige of its leader or its system, said analyst Paik Hak-soon of the private Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul.

The North's isolated communist regime has reached out to the U.S. and South Korea in recent months in what could be an attempt to ease some of the pressure of U.N. sanctions imposed on the North after it conducted a nuclear test last year, its second to date.North Korea quit international talks on ending its nuclear programs in April last year, but has indicated its willingness to return to international disarmament negotiations if the sanctions are lifted.In a sign of the conflicting signals from Pyongyang, the North's military renewed in Sunday's statement the country's commitment to improve inter-Korean relations.Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University, said the South — led by a conservative government which has been more cautious in engaging Pyongyang than preceding more liberal administrations — was also giving mixed signals.South Korea appears to have not decided whether to grab the hand of North Korea's conciliatory gestures, Koh said.Last week, the two Koreas held talks on developing their joint industrial complex in the North's border city of Kaesong, the most prominent symbol of inter-Korean cooperation. On Friday, the North unexpectedly offered to hold discussions between military officers in Kaesong this Tuesday to discuss border crossings, customs, and the use of mobile phones and the Internet for South Korean companies in the complex.South Korea plans to accept the North's demand for dialogue but ask Pyongyang to set another date as the two sides had already agreed to meet on Feb. 1 in Kaesong to discuss the complex.There is no reason to oppose the North's proposal and we plan to reply on Monday, a South Korean official said. He asked not to be identified because no official decision has been made yet.More than 110 South Korean factories at Kaesong employ some 42,000 North Korean workers to make everything from electronics and watches to shoes and utensils, providing a major source of revenue for the cash-strapped North.

Premier: Israel to keep parts of West Bank forever By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer – Sun Jan 24, 4:33 pm ET

JERUSALEM – Israel's leader declared his country's permanent claim to parts of the West Bank on Sunday, angering Palestinians again and complicating efforts by President Barack Obama's Mideast envoy — though the same claim was also made by previous, more moderate premiers.Timing and context lent weight to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to two Jewish settlements and his declaration that they would remain in Israel forever. He planted a tree at one of them — Maaleh Adumim, home to about 30,000 Israelis about two miles (three kilometers) from Jerusalem — a symbolic act of ownership.Our message is clear: We are planting here, we will stay here, we will build here. This place will be an inseparable part of the state of Israel for eternity, Netanyahu proclaimed, just as envoy George Mitchell was trying to restart peace talks after a yearlong stalemate.In his claim, Netanyahu was referring to what Israel calls its main settlement blocs, most of them close to Israeli population centers. Israel has long said it would keep the blocs, where about 80 percent of its 300,000 settlers live, and trade Israeli land to the Palestinians in exchange for the blocs.In failed negotiations with former, relatively moderate Israeli premiers like Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, Palestinians have indicated they might accept such a trade.But Netanyahu is suspect in Palestinian eyes, since he has traditionally opposed ceding control of any of the West Bank and has backed settlement expansion. Only under heavy U.S. pressure did he express grudging acceptance of the idea of a Palestinian state in a speech last June.

Netanyahu responded to Palestinian demands for a total construction freeze in the settlements by limiting new building in the West Bank but not in east Jerusalem, claimed by the Palestinians as their capital.Palestinians rejected the partial freeze as insufficient to get them back to the negotiating table.Israel countered that by demanding a total freeze in construction in the settlements and east Jerusalem's large Jewish neighborhoods — also considered settlements by the Palestinians — they have climbed out on a limb and are trapped by their own conditions.On Sunday, claiming Maaleh Adumim and the Gush Etzion bloc south of Jerusalem, Netanyahu once again provided fuel for Palestinian outrage.This is an unacceptable act that destroys all the efforts being exerted by Senator Mitchell in order to bring the parties back to the negotiating table,said Nabil Abu Rdeneh, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.This came as Mitchell was conducting his latest round of talks in the region to try to get peace talks back on track.In Amman, Jordan, Mitchell appeared unmoved by Netanyahu's declaration on Maaleh Adumim, restating the U.S. goal of a Palestinian state living next to Israel in peace.We intend to continue to pursue our efforts until that objective is achieved, he said after meeting Abbas and Jordanian King Abdullah II.On the eve of Mitchell's arrival last week, Netanyahu said Israel would demand a presence on the Jordanian border of the West Bank to stop weapons and rocket smuggling even if a peace deal is reached, in order to protect Israel's heartland from militant attacks like those from Gaza.Palestinians rejected that as well. They want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem and say they will not accept any Israeli presence there — soldiers or settlers.

After his meeting with Mitchell, Netanyahu told his Cabinet he had heard a few interesting ideas on renewing peace talks. No details were forthcoming.Even Mitchell's boss, Obama, has been sounding pessimistic about the prospects.Last year, Obama took office with the ambitious aim of putting Mideast peacemaking on a fast track. Instead, the peace mission has stalled over Israel's settlements on occupied lands and the refusal by the Palestinians to return to peace talks. Obama acknowledged in an interview published last week that he underestimated the domestic political forces at play in the region and overreached in expecting a quick breakthrough. Also Sunday, a Belgian official protested after Israel prevented him from visiting Gaza. Development Minister Charles Michel said European officials must be able to visit the territory because they have aid projects there. This situation is unacceptable, he told RTL TV. Israel routinely bans foreign officials from crossing into Gaza, maintaining that such visits bolster the Islamic Hamas rulers of Gaza. Officials can enter Gaza from Egypt. Associated Press Writer Jamal Halaby contributed to this report from Amman, Jordan.

US envoy in peace shuttle between Israelis, Palestinians by Ahmad Khatib – Sun Jan 24, 12:46 pm ET

AMMAN (AFP) – US Middle East envoy George Mitchell on Sunday shuttled between Jerusalem and Amman in his second attempt this week to persuade Israeli and Palestinian leaders to relaunch peace talks.Mitchell met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem before heading to Amman to see Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas as part of a tour aimed at reviving talks suspended during the Gaza war more than a year ago.President (Barack) Obama, Secretary of State (Hillary) Clinton and the United States are fully committed to comprehensive peace in the Middle East...Mitchell said after meeting Abbas in joint remarks to reporters with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat.The two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which includes the creation of an independent and viable Palestinian state... we believe it's the only realistic solution to the conflict.He said that such a solution also includes agreements between Israel and Syria, Israel and Lebanon and full normalisation of relations among all countries in the region.Mitchell said Washington would pursue our efforts until that objective is achieved.

Erakat said the Palestinians have not set preconditions for a resumption of talks.
We don't have any conditions to resume negotiations. It's time for Israel to drop its conditions, he said. If Israel thinks that by finger-pointing at us and blaming us (the conflict) can be solved, it won't be solved.What really obstructs the efforts by Senator Mitchell and President Obama is Israel and its settlements, incursions and assassinations. When we say Israel should stop building settlements, it's not a Palestinian condition. It's an Israeli commitment that should be respected, Erakat said.We want a credible peace and we will continue to do our best and cooperate with the United States, but Israel should respect its commitments.

Earlier in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said after meeting Mitchell that the envoy had presented new ideas about how to relaunch the peace process, without elaborating.I expressed my hope that these new ideas will lead to the renewal of the peace process if the Palestinians themselves show similar interest, he added.The United States has been trying for months to convince both sides to return to the negotiating table, but the Palestinians have refused to do so unless Israel halts all settlement growth in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories it occupied in 1967.Washington initially backed that demand but has more recently pressed both sides to return to the talks immediately and praised a limited 10-month settlement slowdown enacted by Netanyahu in November.The Palestinians have rejected the moratorium on building starts because it excludes mostly Arab east Jerusalem -- which they demand as their capital -- as well as public buildings and projects already under way.After meeting Mitchell, Netanyahu attended a symbolic tree planting ceremony at Gush Etzion, a major West Bank settlement bloc that Israel plans to keep in any future peace deal.

Our message is clear. We are planting trees here, we will remain here, we will build here. This place will remain part of Israel for ever. There is a national consensus on this issue, his office quoted him as saying.Israel has insisted it will not give any more ground and has blamed the Palestinians for the impasse. Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said on Sunday it was time to say clearly and unequivocally that there will be no further concessions from Israel for the launching of negotiations.The method of the Palestinians is to refuse to resume negotiations to force the United States to exert pressure on Israel,he told public radio.The ball is in the Palestinian court.Mitchell held a first round of talks with Netanyahu on Thursday and met Abbas on Friday. Last week he also visited Lebanon and Syria. Later on Sunday he flew to Cairo for a two-day visit during which he would meet officials, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported without elaborating.

Ahmadinejad hints Iran resolved to make 20 pct nuclear fuel by Jay Deshmukh – Sun Jan 24, 12:41 pm ET

TEHRAN (AFP) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hinted on Sunday that Tehran would itself pursue uranium enrichment to higher levels if the West spurns its offer of a phased fuel swap, promising Iranians sweet news soon.Ahmadinejad said Iran will make an announcement regarding the enrichment of uranium to 20 percent purity when the nation next month marks the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution which toppled the US-backed shah.Iran has given a chance to Western countries, he was quoted as saying by Fars news agency when asked by reporters about Iran's deadline to world powers over the controversial nuclear fuel deal.Therefore, during the 10 days of dawn (February 1 to 11) we will announce good news regarding the production of 20 percent enriched fuel in our country, he said of the period marking the 1979 Islamic revolution.This news is so sweet that it will make any Iranian and any freedom-loving person in the world happy. This news is about Iran's scientific advancement, Fars quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.The UN atomic watchdog has offered a proposal which sees the bulk of Iran's low-enriched uranium of 3.5 percent purity being sent to Russia and France in one batch for further enrichment to 20 percent and then returned as fuel for a Tehran research reactor.Enriched uranium of 20 percent purity is used as fuel to power nuclear reactors and Iran needs it for its internationally monitored Tehran facility.

Iranian officials, however, have offered a counter-proposal of a phased fuel swap and Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki gave the West an end-January deadline to accept the Iranian plan.World powers led by Washington are against Iran enriching uranium as it can also used to make the fissile core of a nuclear bomb.The West suspect Iran wants enriched uranium -- despite three sets of UN sanctions -- so that it can make atomic weapons. Tehran says its nuclear programme is aimed solely at generating electricity.Western powers have indicated that Iran has effectively rejected the UN-brokered proposal put forward in Vienna talks hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog.But Mottaki insists Iran has not rejected the principle of the nuclear fuel deal.US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, amid increasing international frustration with Tehran, has vowed Washington will not be waited out and not back down in the face of Iranian defiance.

Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, meanwhile, will travel to Moscow on Tuesday for talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, according to ISNA news agency.Moscow has long been a nuclear partner of Tehran and has built Iran's first nuclear power plant in the southern port city of Bushehr but it is still to be operational.On Thursday Russian atomic energy chief Sergei Kiriyenko said the Bushehr plant would start up this year.All the work is going as scheduled. The tests are a success. This year will be the year of the launch of Bushehr, he was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.In recent months Medvedev has indicated that Moscow could back fresh sanctions against Iran over its controversial nuclear programme. Earlier this week Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow does regret Iran's refusal to accept the UN-brokered fuel plan. He noted that the UN Security Council had the capacity to study further measures on Iran but did not come out explicitly in support of further sanctions.

Acting with a logic of punishing Iran... is not a sober approach,he said. Gholam Ali Haddad Adel, an influential Iranian lawmaker with close ties to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reiterated on Sunday that Tehran will not give up its right to nuclear technology. There is no reason for Westerners to pressurise us... and if they want to impose new sanctions, then the Iranian nation will not give up its (nuclear) right, Haddad Adel was quoted by state television website as saying.

13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

REVELATION 18:3,5,7
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

JEREMIAH 50:3,24
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. (RUSSIA A SNEAK ATTACK ON AMERICA)

REVELATION 18:9-11,15-21
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,(NUKE ATTACK I BELIEVE)
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.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
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,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
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.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

U.S.-Russia nuclear deal 95 percent agreed upon
Sun Jan 24, 1:18 pm ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday that a deal with the United States on a landmark nuclear arms reduction treaty was 95 percent agreed, news agencies reported Sunday.Everything in negotiations is going fine, 95 percent of the new deal's issues have been agreed upon, Interfax quoted him as telling reporters in the Black Sea town of Sochi.I am pretty optimistic in my expectations, he added, but said that U.S. plans for a missile defense system in Europe remained an issue.Medvedev's spokeswoman Natalya Timakova declined to comment.U.S. President Barack Obama and Medvedev laid out plans last year to forge a successor to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, called START, and reduce the arsenals of the two largest nuclear powers.It is an important element of efforts to mend relations between Washington and Moscow, which plunged to post-Cold War lows after Russia's brief war with pro-Western Georgia in 2008.Negotiators were unable to reach agreement by December 5, when START I expired, and official negotiations in Geneva have not resumed after a break over the holiday period.

A top U.S. official indicated earlier this month that they would resume on January 25, and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday he expected an agreement would be reached soon once negotiations resume at the beginning of February.Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in late December that U.S. plans for a missile defense system were the main obstacle to reaching a new deal, causing the U.S. State Department to reject any attempt to broaden START talks to cover defensive weapons systems.Sunday, Medvedev said the Kremlin will definitely raise the issue of the missile shield with its U.S. negotiators once START talks resume.It is crafty to speak of strategic nuclear forces without touching upon missile defense, Itar-Tass quoted him as saying.If nuclear missiles are launched, anti-missiles are too.Russia's leaders have remained wary about Obama's revised missile defense plans, which are based on sea- and land-based missile interceptors in Europe.Any START agreement must be ratified by lawmakers in both countries to take effect.In July, Obama and Medvedev agreed that the new treaty should cut the number of nuclear warheads on each side to between 1,500 and 1,675, and the number of delivery vehicles to between 500 and 1,100.Analysts say negotiators are at least closer to agreement on more specific numerical limits within those ranges.Officials recently have said that issues still being negotiated included monitoring and verification measures.(Reporting by Amie Ferris-Rotman, additional reporting by Denis Dyomkin)

Hunger looms as Zimbabwe's planting season ends by Dingani Masuku – Sun Jan 24, 4:18 pm ET

BINDURA, Zimbabwe (AFP) – In a dusty field in northern Zimbabwe, villagers clap and sing as they receive desperately needed seed and fertilizer for their crops, their only source of food and income.In this poor village in Bindura district, about 70 kilometres (45 miles) north of Harare, families live and die by the seeds they plant and the rains that fall.Donors have given 74 million dollars in aid to Zimbabwe's traditional sustenance farmers, a windfall for communities like Bindura.The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation predicts that donor-funded projects could produce 450,000 tonnes of grain, about one-quarter of the nation's needs.We had no hope of getting seed, and at the same time we did not know how we would get seed in time for the planting season, said Christopher Mafusire, who received 10 kilos of seed from the scheme.The 67-year-old said he could now plant two acres of land, which should be enough to feed his family -- if rains come on time.This village had hunger, but now we will not starve, Mafusire said.

Many Zimbabwean farmers aren't so fortunate.

Once an exporter of grain, Zimbabwe had relied on international food aid for the last decade.The food crisis peaked in 2008 with about half the nation's 12 million people needing aid, as the failure of crops and the collapse of the economy left fields barren and store shelves empty.Last year the food crisis eased thanks to better rains and economic reforms by the unity government that took office last February.But at least 1.9 million people are still expected to need aid this year, according to initial UN estimates.Bindura was once part of a vibrant farming sector that until 2000 was able to feed the nation and export cash crops, accounting for about 40 percent of the economy.A decade ago, President Robert Mugabe launched controversial land reforms to forcibly resettle mainly white commercial farms with new black farmers, in a process tainted by widespread political violence.Donors haven't provided seeds to the new farmers, who complain that government hasn't given them enough help to get their crops into the ground -- raising questions about how big the national harvest will be.Without aid, the resettled farmers have little means of financing their operations. Mugabe's land reforms did not give the owners title to the property, leaving them unable to access loans from commercial banks.

The unity government plans to conduct a land audit this year to determine who really owns the land, and then issue deeds so banks can again finance farming.That security of tenure has got be worked out this year in conjunction with the audit so that people can feel secure, economic planning minister Elton Mangoma told AFP. Government is committed in seeing this through,he said. Bringing Zimbabwe's farms back to their productive peaks will be expensive. Finance Minister Tendai Biti says 45 billion dollars is needed to return the overall economy to its peak, when agriculture was the backbone of the economy. Charles Taffs, vice president of the mainly white Commercial Farmers Union, said Zimbabwe's farms haven't grown enough food to feed the nation since 2000. We borrowed 1.8 billion dollars in order to get that crop. This year we see a situation where finance is very limited, he told AFP.

Nationally, he estimated that about 350 million dollars was available from donors, government and the private sector for farming this year. He predicts this year's harvest will yield at most 600 tonnes of the staple maize, only about one third of the nation food needs. The FAO says it's impossible to predict the size of the harvest so early in the season. But the United Nations has already asked donors for 378 million dollars to aid Zimbabwe this year, partly to feed those who will certainly face hunger again.
