Fears grow as millions lose jobless benefits By Nick Carey Nick Carey – Wed Jul 14, 8:37 am ET
CINCINNATI (Reuters) – Deborah Coleman lost her unemployment benefits in April, and now fears for millions of others if the Senate does not extend aid for the jobless.
It's too late for me now, she said, fighting back tears at the Freestore Foodbank in the low-income Over-the-Rhine district near downtown Cincinnati.But it will be terrible for the people who'll lose their benefits if Congress does nothing.For nearly two years, Coleman says she has filed an average of 30 job applications a day, but remains jobless.People keep telling me there are jobs out there, but I haven't been able to find them.Coleman, 58, a former manager at a telecommunications firm, said the only jobs she found were over the Ohio state line in Kentucky, but she cannot reach them because her car has been repossessed and there is no bus service to those areas.After her $300 a week benefits ran out, Freestore Foodbank brokered emergency 90-day support in June for rent. Once that runs out, her future is uncertain.I've lost everything and I don't know what will happen to me, she said.
The recession -- the worst U.S. downturn since the 1930s -- has left some 8 million people like Coleman out of work.Unemployment has remained stubbornly high at around 9.5 percent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in June 6.8 million people or 45.5 percent of the total are long-term unemployed, or jobless for 27 weeks or more.Before the recession began in late 2007, the unemployed received benefits, usually a few hundred dollars a week, for 26 weeks or around six months after losing their jobs.Under the federal/state programs, which are administered by state governments and partly funded by taxes on business, only full-time workers are eligible for benefits. Within federal guidelines, benefits and eligibility vary from state to state.As the downturn left more Americans out of work for longer periods, Congress voted to provide funding to extend benefits to as long as 99 weeks in some areas.Some critics say this adds to the country's large fiscal deficit, and may even discourage job-seeking.
FOOD BANKS FEAR STRAIN
An attempt to pass another extension has become bogged down in partisan political bickering in the Senate. Relief agencies fear that failure to extend benefits will strain their resources and may worsen the U.S. housing crisis.This will put a great deal of stress and strain on our organization, which has already been working hard, said Vicki Escarra, chief executive of Feeding America, which has a network of more than 200 food banks. In the year ended June 30, Feeding America distributed 3 billion pounds (1.36 billion kg) of food, a 50 percent increase over the past two years.The benefits debate has pitted the majority of Democrats against most Republicans and some conservative Democrats.When the House of Representatives passed a $34 billion benefit extension on July 1, 11 fiscally conservative Democrats voted against it. The Senate may take up the issue again in mid-July, but Republicans like Senator Tom Coburn have argued any extension must be paid for with cuts elsewhere.
Even then he (Coburn) is not sure if that's a good idea, said John Hart, a spokesman for the Oklahoma senator. The longer the unemployed have benefits, the less incentive there is to find a job.Most economists argue that cutting benefits could slow recovery, describing benefits as direct economic stimulus because almost every penny of it gets spent. In a June 28 client note, Goldman Sachs said if all additional U.S. stimulus spending expires, it could slow the economy up to 1.5 percentage points from the fourth quarter 2010 to the second quarter of 2011. The note added that extending unemployment benefits and a $400 tax credit would substantially mitigate that impact.
3 MILLION CUT OFF IN TWO MONTHS
During the Senate impasse, from the week ended June 5 to the week ended July 10, more than 2.1 million Americans lost their benefits. Another million will join them by July 31. In Ohio alone, where unemployment stood at 10.7 percent in May, more than 83,000 people lost their benefits in June. Sister Barbara Busch, executive director of non-profit housing group Working in Neighborhoods in Cincinnati, 65 percent of the people who come seeking help with their mortgages are unemployed or underemployed.I fear once the benefits run out, I suspect we'll see a new wave of foreclosures, she said. I just hope I'm wrong.Ohio is a bellwether U.S. state in elections. The state's Democratic attorney general Richard Cordray said blocking extending jobless benefits was politically motivated ahead of the midterm elections in November. If people lose their benefits they will blame the congressional majority and the administration, he said.As unappetizing as it is, that would appear to be the strategy.Senator Coburn's spokesman Hart said suggestions the Republicans were playing partisan politics were ludicrous.The Democrats say that because they want to avoid making the hard decisions,he said.Alonzo Allen, 55, a former aid agency worker in Cincinnati whose benefits will run out in September, spends two days a week volunteering at the food bank in Over-the-Rhine and the other three looking for work. He said he worries about the one-bedroom apartment he rents and how he will feed his dog Ginger, who is the only family I have.If the benefits stop, I'll be out on the street and I'll lose all my furniture,he said.That's going to be tough.(Editing by Eric Walsh)

July 13, 2010 The October Surprise Is Coming By Pamela Geller
The October Surprise. We all know it's coming. In what shape, idea, form -- who's to say? Evil always surprises. Its goals are constant, the ultimate objective never changes, but inevitably it manifests itself as the savior of the day, the savior of man. The 2008 Democrat October Surprise that ushered in the first hardcore radical post-American president in American history was the economic collapse.Oh yes, that was a beaut.The time before that, the moochers and the looters tried to fake Bush documents -- except that the conservative blogosphere caught them red-handed, so they missed their mark.But the party of haters, infiltrators, anti-capitalists, the party that is anti-freedom and anti-individual rights, is going to have to pull off something really catastrophic to stay in power this November. And they will, because it is abundantly clear now that they despise the premise of America and they mean to replace it with statism, the source of untold, incomprehensible human misery for centuries.
Ayn Rand wrote of statism that a statist system -- whether of a communist, fascist, Nazi, socialist or welfare type -- is based on the ... government's unlimited power, which means: on the rule of brute force. ... Under statism, the government is not a policeman, but a legalized criminal that holds the power to use physical force in any manner and for any purpose it pleases against legally disarmed, defenseless victims.With chilling prescience, Rand said, The basic principle and the ultimate results of all statist doctrines are the same: dictatorship and destruction. The rest is only a matter of time.
Only a matter of time. We have a long and terrible fight in front of us. The fight is as big as the idea, the foundation, the being of this great nation, the fight for America. Yes, it's as big as all that, and the enemy is ruthless, unscrupulous, and evil -- and willing to do whatever it takes to assume absolute control. They build nothing, produce nothing, create nothing, invent nothing. They steal. They demand. They demoralize. They are destroyers.What will October's Surprise be? Political analyst Jack Wheeler has an idea. A Second Great Depression,he says, is the Democrat Party's path to power:Our country is faced with an impending economic catastrophe, a Second Great Depression. It is being brought about on purpose by a political party that cares only for keeping and expanding its power, and looks upon prosperity as a threat to that power.You think the Democrats aren't really that bad? Think again. Wheeler points out that they're now being threatened with being thrown out of power. And what did they do when faced with a loss of power the last time? If that party is evil enough and fascist enough to cause an economic catastrophe,Wheeler says,it is certainly evil and fascist enough to cause a physical catastrophe, an Ultimate October Surprise, that will frighten and enrage voters enough to preserve its power in November.Wheeler speculates that this could take the form of another 9/11, a massively horrific terrorist attack, perhaps even nuclear.Or it could involve Obama's obvious and gross mishandling of the Gulf oil crisis, the full extent of which is (of course) being covered up in the lapdog media. And whom would the Democrats blame for whatever crisis they trump up? Whom else? The attack will be used, Wheeler suggests, to raise suspicion about the dangerous Tea Party people and anyone who is anti-government,enough for people to rally around their Zero-led government in fear and confusion.And it will ultimately provide further rationales for emergency government powers.
Could this really happen? Well, we know there have been October Surprises in the past, and each election ups the ante. We have to make sure this doesn't happen. We are Americans. We are free people. We must resist. As one reader of my website, AtlasShrugs.com, wrote to me, the political tools of truth, exposure, ridicule, disparagement, impeachment, criminal prosecution, and politically-incorrect anger must be added to our arsenal of peaceful weapons against tyranny. ... We must make history by living our freedom, or surely we will die.And we have seen the Democratic Party decimate our health care system, banking industry, and automobile sector, and introduce sharia (Islamic) finance into the public sector. They are capable of anything.Yes. And there is some comfort to be found in the fact that decent, rational men, statesmen, exist and speak the truth. They represent our last hope, a vestige of reason and sanity in this era of the modern barbarian. These are the men who need to take the reins of their respective nations.

Niall Ferguson: Bilderberg’s History, er wait, Economics Guru
Make it Eight, eh? July 14, 2010
As reported in a previous article, it is important to be reminded of this fact:As Charles Skelton of the Guardian (UK) reported so well, the agenda of Bilderberg is expected to be implemented. All talk of being a harmless group of concerned citizens flies out the window when people of this magnitude and stature step to the plate to tell us the truth:….the former Nato secretary general, Willy Claes (Bilderberg 1994), said on Belgian radio that at Bilderberg each participant is given a report and they are considered to use this report in setting their policies in the environments in which they affect. This remark is revealing of the Bilderberg dynamic: the flowing of policy out from Bilderberg and into the world, from power towards political implementation. From the steering committee to the guest members.
Let’s be blunt, what is in the report that Niall Ferguson took from this year’s Bilderberg meetings? Or put another way, knowing that the Bilderbergers are the power brokers pushing for the collapse of societies as we know them, we must cut through the diversions and debates, and get back to the simple agenda they have.As no surprise, and as both a further support that Bilderberg is working with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Ferguson offered this article to the Council, where the summary is described as follows:Imperial collapse may come much more suddenly than many historians imagine. A combination of fiscal deficits and military overstretch suggests that the United States may be the next empire on the precipice.
One of many comments on the piece can be found here. The suggestion by Ferguson is that when America crumbles, it will crumble quickly. Not if we can help it, that’s for sure. But the Bilderbergers have been gearing up to effect a quick takeover – that would be consistent with their objectives.One of the key objectives is to twist debate to serve the purpose of stripping wealth.We have seen the push for the crushing of pensions and unions on the Glenn Beck Show.Niall Ferguson, a history professor at Harvard, has evolved into an economics guru, and seems to be making his way into television studios, and reports everywhere. Again, there is a lot discussed. But can we find the Bilderberg agenda in his thoughts and suggestions? He also has (imagine that) been a guest on Glenn Beck. Now ain’t that a coincidence?
Well, in the clip found in this link, while discussing America with Joe Weisenthal, Ferguson discusses the unlikelihood of his visit to the White House at the call of Obama. You will recall Weisenthal contributes to the Keiser Report, and the slip of Obama may have been an inside joke for Weisenthal that may have more background knowledge on Ferguson than Ferguson may know. Being a Bilderberg attendee as has Obama, perhaps the likelihood of sharing planning (the Bilderberg agenda) may be more on track than we might know. However, amongst other things, the bell went off when Ferguson mentions the cutting back on Public Pension plans.Cutting Pension Plan payouts and liabilities, Ferguson would argue, would be correct austerity. Not to mention it meets the goal of Bilderberg in stripping wealth. Emphasized we must remember, by Glenn Beck, working for a Bilderberger, Rupert Murdoch.Common message, two sources, both linked to Bilderberg.Emphasis cannot be strong enough to suggest there will be a lot of rhetoric mixed in with agenda. Credibility built up to support the speaker, and while asleep, the suggestion to give up your wealth as a nation will be implemented.As we find ourselves buying in to the message of the Bilderberg influence that has steadily been creeping into media sources everywhere, we need to splash the cold water of reality into our collective faces, and realize the messages have been tainted – sold out to the bigger mission of Bilderberg and their global plan for humanity.We will continue to cut through the rhetoric and diversionary tactics used, and focus on the people of Bilderberg, and how they are contributing to the cause.
Chinese rating agency strips Western nations of AAA status -China's leading credit rating agency has stripped America, Britain, Germany and France of their AAA ratings, accusing Anglo-Saxon competitors of ideological bias in favour of the West.
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, International Business Editor Published: 9:17PM BST 12 Jul 2010
Beijing office buildings - Chinese rating agency strips Western nations of AAA status Photo: AFP/Getty Images Dagong Global Credit Rating Co used its first foray into sovereign debt to paint a revolutionary picture of creditworthiness around the world, giving much greater weight to wealth creating capacity and foreign reserves than Fitch, Standard & Poor's, or Moody's. The US falls to AA, while Britain and France slither down to AA-. Belgium, Spain, Italy are ranked at A- along with Malaysia.
Investment in China: a good idea?
China's new Silk Road into Europe Meanwhile, China rises to AA+ with Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, reflecting its €2.4 trillion (£2 trillion) reserves and a blistering growth rate of 8pc to 10pc a year. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, chief of the International Monetary Fund, agreed on Monday that the rising East is a transforming global force.Asia's time has come, he said. The IMF expects Asia to grow by 7.7pc in 2010, vastly outpacing the eurozone at 1pc and the US at 3.3pc. Emerging nations hold 75pc of the world's $8.4 trillion (£5.6 trillion) of reserves. Dagong rates Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and Singapore at AAA, along with the commodity twins Australia and New Zealand.Chinese president Hu Jintao said in April that the world needs an objective, fair, and reasonable standard for rating sovereign debt. Dagong appears to have stepped into the role, saying its objective was to assess countries using methods that would not be affected by ideology.The reason for the global financial crisis and debt crisis in Europe is that the current international credit rating system does not correctly reveal the debtor's repayment ability,said Guan Jianzhong, Dagong's chairman.The agency, known in China for rating companies, said its goal is to correct the defects of the existing system and offer a counter-weight to Western agencies.Dagong appears to base growth potential on past performance but this can be misleading, especially in states enjoying technology catch-up. Japan was a high-flyer in 1970s and 1980s before stalling when the Nikkei bubble burst. It has been trapped in near perma-slump ever since.China may start to face some of Japan's demographic problems by the middle of this decade when the working age population peaks.The Western rating agencies put a high value on a long-established rule of law and government institutions that have proved resilient over many decades, or even centuries. China's political system may appear strong – as did the Soviet Union's – but only time will tell whether its foundations are brittle. The violent upheavals of the Cultural Revolution are still a very fresh memory.
IMF asks Japan to push ahead with sales tax hike by P. Parameswaran – JULY 14,10
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The IMF asked Japan Wednesday to push ahead with a consumption tax increase that was seen as key to Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan's party defeat in crucial elections.The Washington-based fund suggested a gradual increase of the tax as part of early and credible fiscal reforms to curb the nation's huge public debt that is nearing 200 percent of gross domestic product, the world's highest.Kan's proposal to double the five percent consumption tax and subsequent backpedaling was seen as a key reason for the rout of his party in last Sunday's parliamentary upper house elections.The Washington-based International Monetary Fund weighed in on the sticky issue Wednesday, saying the tax increase should be part of swift fiscal reforms to haul Japan out of its mountain of debt.The IMF called for the reforms to begin next year centered around a gradual increase in the consumption tax.Japan's finance minister Yoshihiko Noda said Tuesday that the sales tax hike was inevitable in order to slash debt even though he respected the election verdict.
When Kan was appointed more than a month ago, polls showed majorities believed a tax hike was necessary to pay for welfare and social security costs in rapidly graying Japan.But survey by the Asahi Shimbun published this week said while 63 percent of participants wanted politicians to continue to discuss a tax hike, only 35 percent supported an immediate increase.The debt crisis in Europe had raised the uncertainty and downside risks around Japan's economic outlook and sharpened the focus on its massive debt problem, the IMF said in a report after annual consultations with Tokyo.
The consultation focused on policies to achieve lasting fiscal adjustment, measures to support the recovery and combat deflation, and reforms to raise medium-term growth.Bringing down Japan's public debt will require a large and protracted adjustment that will be made more credible by an early increase in the consumption tax,the Washington-based IMF said.Sustained consolidation will require comprehensive tax reform, limits on non-social security spending growth, and entitlement reforms, it said.The fund called for a fiscal rule featuring a public debt cap and a primary surplus target,saying it could strengthen credibility and lock in fiscal gains.It warned that while Japan?s recovery was expected continue on a moderate pace, vulnerability to sovereign risk has risen.GDP growth was projected to rise to 2.4 percent in 2010 from a 5.2 percent contraction last year. The economic expansion is expected to taper off to 1.8 percent in 2011.The DPJ loss of its slim majority in the upper house has made it more difficult for the party to pass legislation and means it must scramble to find new allies.Ratings agency Standard & Poor's has warned that it might lower Japan's credit rating if the government failed to implement meaningful fiscal reforms, as the election raised the specter of policy gridlock.

Russia promises Iran fuel despite sanctions
Wed Jul 14, 7:42 am ET
MOSCOW (AFP) – Russian companies are ready to supply fuel to energy-hungry Iran, despite unilateral US and EU sanctions targeting Tehran's oil and gas sectors, the Russian energy minister said on Wednesday.The pledge came amid a period of tension between Russia and Iran unprecedented in the last two decades, compounded this week by President Dmitry Medvedev's statement that Tehran was nearing the potential to build an atomic bomb.Russian companies are prepared to deliver oil products to Iran. The possibility of delivering oil products to Iran exists, if there is a commercial interest, said Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko.Russia has already expressed its dissatisfaction with the sanction measures agreed last month by the United States and the European Union to punish Iran for its defiance in the nuclear standoff.These go beyond the new UN sanctions that were agreed by Russia and other world powers which mainly target military-related industries.Sanctions cannot hinder us,Shmatko said after a meeting in Moscow with Iranian Oil Minister Massoud Mir Kazemi, quoted by Russian news agencies.The two ministers also signed a joint declaration boosting cooperation in energy that envisages Moscow and Tehran creating a roadmap to plan out their future oil and gas cooperation.The declaration says that the two sides will also consider the creation of a joint bank to finance oil and gas projects as well as the founding of other joint energy ventures.
Iran, which holds around 10 percent of the world's oil reserves, is the world's fourth-biggest oil exporter and the second-largest producer in the oil cartel OPEC after Saudi Arabia.However a lack of refining capacity and inefficiency problems means Iran has to import vast volumes of petrol from a variety of sources in order to satisfy domestic demand.According to Russian news agencies, Mir Kazemi declared that sanctions will in no way have an effect on the economic and industrial development of Iran. Independent countries are truly cooperating with Iran.Russia has traditionally been seen as a close political and economic ally of the Islamic Republic, but Medvedev's recent hardening of the Russian line on the Iranian nuclear drive has deeply irritated Tehran.His comment that Iran was nearing nuclear weapons capacity prompted an angry reaction from Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, who rejected the remarks as totally false.The sanctions signed into law by US President Barack Obama effectively shut US markets to any firms that provide Iran with refined petroleum products.EU leaders have agreed sanctions banning new investment, technical assistance and technology transfers to Iran's gas and oil industries. The details are to be approved at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on July 26.
Libyan ship with aid for Gaza reaches Egypt port By ASHRAF SWEILAM, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jul 14, 6:05 pm ET
EL-ARISH, Egypt – A Libyan aid ship blocked by Israeli missile ships from steaming to Gaza reached an Egyptian port Wednesday, bringing an end to the latest challenge to Israel's naval embargo of the Palestinian territory.The director of the Egyptian port of el-Arish, Gamal Abdel Maqsoud, said the Libyan boat radioed Wednesday evening asking permission to dock there. He said the ship, the Moldovan-flagged Amalthea, was 15 miles (24 kilometers) off the Egyptian coast.The ship reached the waiting area Wednesday evening, but has yet to dock because the captain is seeking clearance from the shipment's organizers, Abdel Maqsoud said.It appeared likely the cargo would be unloaded Thursday.Egypt's foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, told reporters that Cairo has agreed to let the Amalthea through, and that as soon as the boat docks, its cargo will be unloaded and handed over to the Red Crescent to deliver to Gaza.In recent days, with the Amalthea's organizers insisting it would go to Hamas-ruled Gaza and Israel saying it would not allow that to happen, the stage appeared set for a showdown on the high seas. Framing the faceoff was Israel's botched attempt to block a similar Gaza-bound aid ship in May, an incident that ended with the deaths of nine pro-Palestinian activists — eight Turks and a Turkish-American on one of them — in a violent confrontation on board.Israeli missile ships had been shadowing the Amalthea since Wednesday morning to ensure that it would not reach Gaza. An Al-Jazeera reporter on board the aid boat said Israeli ships were arrayed in a wall meant to prevent the Amalthea from continuing toward the Palestinian territory.Despite the Israeli insistence that it would not allow the ship through the blockade, Hamas officials in Gaza had been urging the Amalthea to press on. Speaking at a ceremony naming a street after those killed in the May 31 confrontation, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the territory's Hamas government, called the Libyan ship our moving hope in the Mediterranean Sea.Beware not to fall into the trap and stop in a port other than Gaza,he said as the street was named The Martyrs of the Freedom Flotilla.Conflicting messages on Tuesday created confusion over whether the Amalthea intended to try to run the blockade or not.A spokesman for the Libyan mission, Youssef Sawani, insisted the ship would try to reach the Palestinian territory, but said those aboard would not violently resist any efforts to stop them.
He later said in Tripoli that after mediation from the European Union, the organizers agreed to enter el-Arish port and send the goods by Thursday to Gaza.Our aim is not provocation or political propaganda, he told reporters in Tripoli.The Gadhafi foundation, headed by the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, said the Amalthea left Greece on Saturday carrying 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies. Israel invited the activists to sail to the Israeli port of Ashdod and unload the supplies there, after which Israel would screen the goods and send them into Gaza overland. The group refused.The deaths of the nine activists in the May 31 raid focused international attention on Israel's blockade of Gaza, imposed after the Islamic militant and anti-Israel Hamas violently overran the Palestinian territory in June 2007. The international criticism forced Israel to ease its land blockade of the territory but it has maintained the naval embargo, insisting it is vital to keep weapons out of Hamas' hands.Restrictions remain on materials like cement and steel that Israel says could be used for military purposes, and Gaza's 1.5 million people, confined to the small, impoverished territory, have been plagued by other problems, including a chronic cash shortage.George Saba, who manages a branch of the Cairo Amman Bank in the territory, said Wednesday that because of cash shortages the bank could not pay this month's salary to government officials. Palestinian officials in the West Bank were trying to arrange a transfer of Israeli cash into Gaza to alleviate the shortage.
Also Wednesday, a Gaza health official said a 42-year-old Palestinian woman was killed and four other Gazans were wounded late Tuesday by an Israeli tank shell. The military said it opened fire after spotting people near the security fence and suspected they might be planting explosive devices. A Gaza rights group, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, issued a statement Wednesday condemning unknown Palestinian assailants for throwing a grenade at the campus of Gaza's YMCA, run by local Christians. No one was injured in the attack, which the group said took place early Tuesday.Members of extremist Islamic groups in Gaza have been suspected in past attacks on internet cafes and Christian institutions.Associated Press Writers Sarah El Deeb and Maggie Michael in Cairo, Ibrahim Barzak in Gaza City and Amy Teibel in Jerusalem contributed to this report.
African troops parade in Paris amid rainstorm, rights row by Roland Lloyd Parry – JULY 14,10
PARIS (AFP) – Troops from 13 African nations marched in Paris Wednesday, marking half a century of independence from France as part of a rain-soaked Bastille Day parade heavily criticised by human rights groups.The colourful display on the Champs Elysees avenue came as rights groups accused some African leaders and armies of war crimes and of perceived shady ties between France and some of its former colonies.
Mauritanian troops in white and blue robes and Central Africans in red were among those pounding the cobbles in central Paris on France's national holiday, with rifles and bayonets at their shoulders.Twelve African heads of state were guests of honour at the annual display of military power.Rain clouds opened on the parade as it unfolded under the gaze of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, the former supermodel and singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and the African leaders and military officers.It is a blood tie that we are celebrating, the tie born of African troops' contribution to the defence and liberation of France, Sarkozy said, honouring Africans who fought for France in the world wars.On the eve of the parade, hundreds of people joined a demonstration in eastern Paris called by a grouping of 70 rights associations complaining of human rights violations in various African countries.Protestors denounced Francafrique -- the term for a perceived tradition of shady official and business ties between France and its former colonies, which gained independence in 1960, some of which are dictatorships.Sarkozy insisted the event was not about colonial nostalgia, in an address to the African leaders at a lunch on Tuesday.I know very well the notion of privileged and special relations, this flood of suspicions and fantasies, but the time has come to face up to it together, without inhibitions and without looking back,he said.
Benin President Boni Yayi welcomed France's decision Tuesday to award African veterans who fought for France the same pension as their French comrades.It is fortunate that France has finally remembered our veterans, because at the time, during the wars, bullets did not distinguish between white skin and black skin,he said Wednesday.Protestors criticised the decision to invite countries such as Niger, where a military junta seized power in a coup five months ago and where French nuclear energy giant Areva has lucrative uranium mining contracts.The International Federation of Human Rights Leagues said the visiting delegations may contain people responsible for grave human rights violations.French Defence Minister Herve Morin said there was no indication that there were war criminals among Sarkozy's guests.
These are countries with whom we have relations, partnerships. I don't see the sense in putting ourselves on trial over these questions, he said on radio station France Info.After fighter jets flew overhead, the African contingents passed, headed by an all-female unit from Benin, giving way to French troops, firemen, police, armoured vehicles and marching bands, their shirts drenched by the rain.The heads of state from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo sat watching from the official stand. Ivory Coast, gripped by long-term political stalemate following a 2002 coup attempt, was represented by a government minister but did not take part in the march-past. Forces from Madagascar also joined the parade. Sarkozy afterwards greeted soldiers wounded on service in countries including Afghanistan, where 45 French troops have died since 2002 while serving in a NATO-led force. Bruni-Sarkozy greeted the families of soldiers killed in combat. On Tuesday she had hosted the wives of the African leaders at the presidential palace and discussed issues such as the scourge of AIDS on the continent.Sarkozy held a lunch afterwards for guests rewarded as civil achievers, but the presidential garden party that traditionally follows the parade was cancelled as part of Sarkozy's efforts to trim government spending.
Stormy weather caused Bastille Day fireworks displays to be cancelled in the eastern city of Dijon and central Clermont-Ferrand.But in the French capital spectacular fireworks at the Eiffel Tower late Wednesday night marked the end of the Bastille Day celebrations that drew 300,000 people to the Paris landmark, according to the police.
EU tells Iran ready to resume nuclear talks by Yacine Le Forestier – Wed Jul 14, 3:38 pm ET
BRUSSELS (AFP) – Stalled nuclear talks on Iran could resume this autumn after both the European Union and Iran said they were ready to go back to the negotiation table, officials said Wednesday.The EU's chief diplomat Catherine Ashton said Wednesday she was ready to pick a time and place to revive negotiations, her office said. Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Wednesday that talks could begin in September.The breakthrough came after Ashton wrote to Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili.I am glad to hear that you would be prepared to restart dialogue,Ashton wrote.Ashton, who represents six world powers in the negotiations, said issues relating to the Iranian nuclear programme must be the focus of our talks, though other subjects ... could also be raised.She suggested that the two sides should discuss the time and venue for our meeting.Ashton's spokesman told AFP the European Union's high representative hopes the talks can restart as soon as possible, potentially in the autumn.In Lisbon, Mottaki confirmed the report from the Iranian side.We foresee the month of September, after the month of Ramadan,Mottaki said, referring to the holy Islamic fasting month.We have always welcomed and backed negotiations.The last high-level talks between Iran and the six -- the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany -- were held in Geneva in October 2009 when the two sides agreed a nuclear fuel swap that has since stalled.
Western powers have demanded that Iran suspend its uranium enrichment programme, fearing that Tehran would use the material to build a nuclear bomb. Tehran insists that its atomic programme is a peaceful drive to produce energy.Ashton had written to Jalili in mid-June to request a resumption of negotiations with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany after the UN imposed new sanctions on Iran.The Iranian official wrote back on July 6 that Tehran was ready to resume talks from September 1 should a number of conditions be met.Jalili said the six must answer whether the talks were aimed at engagement and cooperation or continued confrontation and hostility towards Iranians.Ashton had yet to respond to Jalili's missive until she sent her new letter, which was dated July 8 but was sent to Tehran late Tuesday.Our aim has always been achieving a comprehensive and long-term settlement which would restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme, while respecting Iran's legitimate rights to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, Ashton wrote.This reflects a genuine wish on the part of all of the six countries I represent for a more constructive and cooperative relationship with Iran,she added. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on June 28 that he was freezing nuclear talks for two months in retaliation for a fourth set of sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council three weeks earlier.
The United States and the European Union, seeking to pile pressure on Tehran, later decided to impose their own punitive measures against Iran, targetting the country's key oil and gas sectors. US President Barack Obama signed the tough US sanctions into law on July 1. EU foreign ministers will finalise the bloc's sanctions at July 26 meeting. In a sign of the growing impatience among world powers, Russia, traditionally a diplomatic and economic ally of the Islamic republic, has hardened its position regarding Iran. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that Iran was close to having the potential to build a nuclear weapon, the clearest indication yet of Russian alarm over Tehran's atomic drive.
World powers mull Brazil, Turkey's presence in Iran talks
Mon Jul 12, 11:07 am ET
VIENNA (AFP) – World powers have not formally agreed that Brazil and Turkey can sit in on talks over a nuclear fuel supply deal with Iran, but neither have they explicitly ruled out such an arrangement, diplomats said Monday.An Iranian news report on Sunday quoted Tehran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki as saying that the so-called Vienna group has accepted the presence of Brazil and Turkey in talks over a fuel swap.But diplomats familiar with the dossier said no such formal decision had been made.Under a deal brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last October, France, Russia and the United States proposed to Iran that it ship out most of its stockpile of low-enriched uranium for processing into fuel rods for a medical research reactor in Tehran.But the Islamic republic cold-shouldered the proposal, insisting on a single, simultaneous fuel swap on its own territory instead, which was, in turn, unacceptable to the West.After eight months of deadlock, Brazil and Turkey stepped in to draw up an alternative arrangement whereby the nuclear material would be transferred for safeholding in Turkey. In return, Iran would receive the fuel for its research reactor 12 months later.
But Moscow, Paris and Washington expressed reservations and, in a detailed response last month, asked Iran to clear up a number of questions they had about the deal.The three powers were still waiting for Iran's response to their reservations, a Western diplomat told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.We presented Iran with feedback. We're now waiting for their reply before considering the next step,the diplomat said.On Sunday, Iran announced that it has produced around 20 kilogrammes of 20 percent enriched uranium, in defiance of the world powers who want Tehran to suspend the controversial nuclear work.We have produced around 20 kilogrammes of 20 percent enriched uranium and we are working to produce the (fuel) plates, Iran's atomic chief Ali Akbar Salehi told ISNA news agency.World powers led by Washington want Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment activity which they suspect masks a nuclear weapons drive, and on June 9 backed a UN Security Council resolution for a fourth set of sanctions on Iran.Enriched uranium can be used as fuel to power nuclear reactors as well as to make the fissile core of an atom bomb.Tehran says its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful.
Israel defends right to raid Gaza-bound aid ships
Wed Jul 14, 9:59 am ET
GENEVA (AFP) – Israel defended during a hearing of the UN Human Rights Committee on Wednesday its right to retaliate against aid ships attempting to breach its blockade of the impoverished Gaza Strip.No ship can breach this blockade, be they civil or military ships. Whoever violates the blockade is heading for retaliation, Israeli envoy Sari Rubenstein told the committee.The blockade is legitimate, under international law... a blockade can be imposed on the sea, she insisted, during the two-day committee hearing on how Israel was applying its obligations under the UN treaty on civil and political rights.Israel came under pressure after the deadly storming of aid ships bound for Gaza at the end of May. A Libyan aid ship is currently on its way for Gaza, although it is being shadowed by several Israeli warships.Defending May's military operation, Israeli ambassador Aharon Leshno Yaar claimed that of the nine dead, seven had said they wished to die onboard these ships.
People on the aid ship say that Israeli forces opened fire as soon as they stormed the vessel, while Israel says its troops were attacked by those on the boat, forcing them to use deadly force.These are not activists for peace, but messengers of death, the ambassador charged on the second day of the UN committee session.The committee had attacked Israel for failing to apply its obligations under a treaty on civil and political rights on the occupied Palestinian territories.The UN says Israel is responsible for Gaza's 1.5 million population as it controls access to its sea and air ports, while Israel insists it is not the occupying power as it does not control territory within the Gaza Strip.I think that we cannot sweep aside with a stroke of the hand the application of the treaty in the Palestinian territories, said a member of the committee, Christine Chanet.Israel invaded the Gaza Strip in 1967 and occupied it until 2005. Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006, since when Israel has blockaded access by sea and air to the impoverished territory.Rafah in Egypt, the only crossing into Gaza not controlled by Israel, remains largely closed as its opening requires the presence of Palestinian Authority officials who were ejected by Hamas in 2007.Israeli attorney general Malkiel Blass argued however that given the rise of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and Israel's withdrawal of its forces from the zone, Israel can clearly not be said to have effective control in the Gaza Strip.
As such, the convention, which is a territorially bound convention, does not apply, nor was it intended to apply to areas outside its national territory,he noted.Since Israeli troops killed the nine Turks on the aid boat, global pressure has forced Israel to significantly change its policy on Gaza, and now it prevents only the import of arms and goods it says could be used to build weapons or fortifications.
Chavez: Venezuela rethinks relations with Vatican
Wed Jul 14, 6:34 pm ET
CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez announced Wednesday that Venezuela would rethink its relations with the Vatican as tensions rise between his government and Catholic Church representatives who accuse the socialist leader of becoming increasingly authoritarian.During a televised speech, Chavez instructed his foreign minister to examine relations with the Vatican. Without elaborating, he questioned the validity of an agreement giving the Catholic Church privileges that are not extended to other religious organizations in Venezuela.Chavez also challenged the authority of Pope Benedict XVI, saying the pope isn't God's emissary on Earth.There was no immediately reaction from the papal nuncio in Caracas.Chavez and Venezuela's Catholic Church are clashing like never before.In recent weeks, Chavez has said that Christ would whip church leaders for suggesting that he's steering Venezuela toward a Cuban-style Marxist dictatorship. He also accused Cardinal Jorge Urosa of misleading the Vatican with warnings that Venezuela is drifting toward dictatorship.
Urosa has defended his decision to tell the Vatican that Chavez is curbing freedoms.
Chavez said Urosa represents the interests of fascist, extreme right-wing elites and accused the clergy of siding with opposition parties ahead of September legislative elections.Priests critical of his government are trying to manipulate the people, Chavez said.The Venezuelan Bishops' Conference issued a statement this week warning that political polarization is creating a hostile environment ahead of the Sept. 26 vote.Venezuela is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic.Chavez claims that Christianity has a big influence on his socialist movement.
Fed hoped to limit fallout with European program By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer – Wed Jul 14, 4:57 pm ET
WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve hoped reviving a crisis-era program in May would limit fallout to the United States from Europe's debt debacles.A document, released Wednesday, provides insights into the Fed's thinking at that time.To contain the European crisis, the Fed on May 9 agreed to supply European central banks — and the Bank of Japan — with much-in-demand dollars in return for foreign currencies.Fed officials believed these swap arrangements would be helpful in limiting the adverse implications of recent developments for the U.S. economy,the document says.Fears about Europe's debt problems, however, have roiled Wall Street.

Strong quakes shake Chile, but no damage reported
Wed Jul 14, 9:44 am ET
SANTIAGO, Chile – Two strong earthquakes have rattled nerves in central Chile but there are no reports of new damage to a region devastated by February's big quake.
Authorities say people in the beach town of Tirua fled to high ground for fear of a possible tsunami, which did not occur.The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-5.3 quake hit at 4:21 a.m. (0821 GMT) Wednesday. It was followed by a magnitude-6.5 shake 11 minutes later. The stronger one was centered about 345 miles (560 kilometers) south of Santiago, Chile's capital.The area was among those most harmed by the magnitude-8.8 quake on Feb. 27. That temblor and the resulting tsunami killed at least 521 people and left 200,000 homeless.

Rubio calls federal oil spill response abysmal By MATT SEDENSKY, Associated Press Writer - JULY 14,10
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Senate hopeful Marco Rubio accused the Obama administration of insanity and incompetence in its handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, while steering from his own support of offshore drilling in a campaign stop Wednesday.
Rubio said Obama should have convened the world's leading experts in the initial days of the spill and devised a plan to stop it, and railed against federal regulatory nitpicking he says has kept containment and clean-up efforts from being more effective.The response has been abysmal,the likely Republican nominee from West Miami said.What this oil spill has revealed to us is a level of federal incompetence that is intolerable.The criticism of the federal response was met with loud applause in Rubio's appearance in the Panhandle, where beaches have seen oil wash ashore. But he stayed away of his own stance on offshore drilling, which is controversial in this tourism-dependent region.In questioning after his appearance, Rubio reiterated his openness to considering offshore drilling in Florida's waters but said it was a non-issue because it is currently barred by state law.It has to be based on science. If the science says that drilling off Florida's waters should be safe, that's one thing. If it says it's not, that's another,Rubio said.Legalizing drilling off our coast should be based on a cost-benefit analysis that benefits Florida and doesn't cost it ecologically or economically.Democratic candidates Kendrick Meek and Jeff Greene both oppose drilling off Florida's coast and Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running for Senate as an independent, has come out against it since the Gulf spill.
Rubio, the former state House speaker, criticized the decision by Crist to call a special legislative session with the aim of putting an offshore drilling ban on the ballot in November. Lawmakers will meet next week to consider whether voters should be able to decide on a constitutional amendment that would prohibit drilling in state waters. Rubio said the move is nothing but a political stunt that uses this region and its suffering as a prop for a political campaign.Meantime, the Democratic National Committee dismissed Rubio's criticisms as a political ploy of his own.It's sad that Mr. Rubio would politicize this tragedy while so many families and businesses are dealing with its effects,said Joanne Peters, a DNC spokeswoman.He's become just like other Washington Republicans who for political gain have attacked the administration for holding BP fully accountable and for supporting legislation that would ensure we are never in a position to be reliant on reckless oil companies ever again.In his appearance Wednesday, Rubio advocated creating a Gulf Opportunity Zone to provide tax relief to businesses and individuals, such as was done after Hurricane Katrina. He also called for making BP claims checks tax-exempt and easing fishing regulations in the state.
26 killed, 38 missing as typhoon hits Philippines By OLIVER TEVES, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jul 14, 10:26 am ET
MANILA, Philippines – The first typhoon to lash the Philippines this year flooded parts of the capital, toppled power lines and killed at least 26 people Wednesday, many of them trying to scramble to safety as the storm changed course.Thirty-eight people were missing, mostly fishermen who were caught by the storm's fury at sea.More than half of the main northern island of Luzon, which includes Manila, was without electricity, and authorities said it would take two to three days to restore power. Several dozen flights were canceled, and schools and many government offices closed. High winds felled trees and floods were knee-deep floods in some communities in the capital.Heavy rains, unrelated to the typhoon, have also wreaked havoc in China and Japan. The death toll from rain-triggered landslides rose to 41 in western China, and workers raced to drain overflowing reservoirs in the southeast. Flooding has killed more than 100 people in China so far this month, the official Xinhua News Agency said.Storms in southern and western Japan left one dead and three missing. A woman drowned in a swollen river, and two women in their 70s were among the missing, according to police. Nearly 10,000 homes were evacuated.
More rain was predicted into Thursday in both Japan and China.In the Philippines, many died while fleeing the typhoon's fury, regional disaster operations officer Fred Bragas said. The 26 deaths were spread over six provinces and a city, mostly near Manila.Newly elected President Benigno Aquino III scolded the weather bureau for failing to predict that the storm would hit Manila.This is unacceptable, Aquino told officials during a meeting of the National Disaster Coordinating Council, noting that government agencies were relying on the weather bureau for their preparations. I hope this is the last time we are all brought to areas different from where we should be.Weather bureau chief Prisco Nilo explained that it takes forecasters six hours to update weather bulletins. The weather bureau has complained of lack of funding and equipment. The Philippines is hit by about 20 typhoons and storms a year, gaining a reputation as the welcome mat for the most destructive cyclones from the Pacific. Last year, back-to-back typhoons inundated Manila and outlying provinces, killing nearly 1,000 people.Typhoon Conson came ashore on the east coast of Luzon on Tuesday night with winds of 75 miles per hour (120 kilometers per hour), said government weather forecaster Bernie de Leon. It weakened to a tropical storm as it crossed the rice-growing island and buffeted Manila on Luzon's west coast for two hours.The storm then headed out to the South China Sea before dawn and is expected to make landfall again later this week in China, west of Macau.
Several people were killed by falling debris or electrocuted. One man drowned trying to save a dozen pigs in a swollen lake south of Manila, while his companion was swept away and is missing, Bragas said.A concrete wall of a cement warehouse collapsed and pinned four carpenters to death in southern Laguna province while a landslide killed a man in his house in nearby Tagaytay City. The man's son remains missing in the landslide, Bragas said.In Quezon province, four fishermen drowned and 18 others were rescued after huge waves and strong winds battered their motor boats as they raced toward an island to seek shelter late Tuesday, provincial governor David Suarez told The Associated Press.Villagers and the coast guard have launched a search for the 27 missing fishermen, he said.Another nine fishermen were rescued after big waves overturned their boats off the island province of Catanduanes, regional military spokesman Maj. Harold Cabunoc said. The other 10 remained missing.
The Manila International Airport Authority said 63 flights, including four international ones, had been canceled and nine had been diverted since late Tuesday.
Classes were suspended in schools and most universities in Manila. Several government offices, including the Senate, closed because of the power outage. Thousands of commuters were stranded when the blackouts disrupted train services. Many hotels and shopping malls were relying on their own generators. Associated Press writers Jim Gomez, Teresa Cerojano, Hrvoje Hranjski, Mari Yamaguchi in Tokyo and Chi-Chi Zhang in Beijing contributed to this report.
Earl Jones victims can sue Royal Bank of Canada
Wed Jul 14, 5:22 pm ET
TORONTO (Reuters) – Royal Bank of Canada is facing a C$40 million ($39 million) lawsuit after a Quebec judge ruled on Wednesday that victims of frauds carried out by Montreal financial adviser Earl Jones can proceed with a class action suit.Jones was sentenced to 11 years in prison in February after being convicted of running a Ponzi scheme not unlike the one that resulted in criminal financier Bernard Madoff being given a life sentence in the United States.Jones was found guilty of swindling investors by using funds invested by some clients to pay returns promised to others. A group of victims has sought to sue Royal, Canada's largest bank, alleging that it played a role in the fraud by not being vigilant.Quebec Superior Court Justice Robert Mongeon ruled that the class action -- which accuses the bank of negligence and willful blindness in not properly scrutinizing transactions Jones carried out at the bank -- can go ahead.The bank did not oppose the motion seeking permission to sue.We're confident in our position and we intend to present a robust defense at the merit stage of the proceedings, Royal bank spokeswoman Gillian McArdle said. We were deceived by Earl Jones, just as his clients were.Asked if a settlement was possible, she said the bank was reviewing all of its options.According to the lawsuit, creditors have made claims of about C$70 million to the trustee overseeing the bankruptcy of Jones and his company.(Reporting by Cameron French; editing by Peter Galloway)
Canada-U.S. Seaway section may reopen Thursday
Wed Jul 14, 4:24 pm ET
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) – A section of the important St. Lawrence Seaway shipping route will remain closed until at least Thursday morning as crews clean up spilled fuel oil after a cargo vessel ran aground on Monday.A fuel tank on the Canada Steamship Lines vessel M/V Richelieu was punctured after the ship experienced propulsion problems during a sudden squall near the Cote Sainte-Catherine canal lock south of Montreal, leaking between 50 and 200 tonnes of oil into surrounding waters.
The South Shore Canal and the lock remained closed to support clean-up efforts around the ship.Progress is steady (and) we are looking at opening that canal (Thursday) morning sometime,Andrew Bogora, spokesman for the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp, said on Wednesday.Nine vessels have been delayed by the closure, he said.CSL Group said that clean-up of the waters and the shore will take another six days, with additional booms installed along the shorelines to prevent the oil from spreading further.Divers are installing steel plates to seal the breach in the vessel's hull to allow it to sail to Quebec City by Friday to unload its cargo of 24,700 tonnes of wheat owned by the Canadian Wheat Board.The Seaway, owned by the Canadian and U.S. governments, connects central North America via the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and is a major shipping route for commodities such as iron ore, steel, coal and grain.(Reporting by Rod Nickel; editing by Peter Galloway)
Canada seeks support for securities watchdog plan By Louise Egan and Jennifer Kwan – Tue Jul 13, 4:51 pm ET
OTTAWA/TORONTO (Reuters) – Canada's proposed national securities regulator would have a strong presence in all corners of the country, according to a blueprint released on Tuesday that also set new deadlines for reform.In the document, the Canadian Securities Transition Office, set up by the federal government, laid out detailed plans of how to carry out the politically delicate task of replacing 13 provincial and territorial watchdogs with a single oversight body in July 2012.The plan has met fierce resistance from two powerful provinces, Quebec and Alberta, but will go ahead with willing provinces and territories, Ottawa has said. Governments have until September of this year to sign on to the plan.Ontario politicians have lobbied hard for Toronto, the provincial capital and the country's financial hub, to house the headquarters of the new regulator, media reports said. The Toronto Financial Services Alliance, an industry group, said housing the regulator in the city makes pragmatic sense. But doing so could irk some other provincial capitals.
Department of Finance spokesman Jack Aubry said no decision had been made yet regarding a head office.The transition plan appeared to respond to fears that a regulator based in Toronto would not properly address investor needs in local markets. It suggested a strong role for provincial offices and policymakers as well as a gradual phase-in of national standards.I don't think there will be headquarters, or head office, in the traditional sense. It's not that type of organization, said Larry Ritchie, executive vice president and senior policy adviser at the transition office.Clearly the chief regulator will be located somewhere. That issue is something that will have to be worked out over the next year or so as the plan becomes more refined,he told Reuters.
AN EMBARRASSMENT
Canada's patchwork regulatory system is unique in the Group of Seven major industrialized countries and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, the main driver of reform, has called it an embarrassment.Ottawa argues it would be easier to oversee markets and crack down on white-collar crime across the country under a single regulator, as well as to co-ordinate with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and regulators in other countries as global financial reforms are launched following the financial crisis.Canada's current minority Conservative government has come closer than any of its predecessors to launching a single securities regulator.But it still faces formidable obstacles. Quebec and Alberta have launched court challenges to the reform on the grounds it encroaches on their jurisdictions. The Canadian government has asked the Supreme Court of Canada for its opinion, which is not expected until sometime after April next year.Joseph Groia, a Toronto securities lawyer, said that in taking pains to ensure that decision-making would be spread evenly across the country, Ottawa is effectively weakening the new regulator.The new system looks like it's going to be just as fractured,he said.
The transition plan contemplates parliamentary approval of legislation by December 2011. There could well be an election before then, and even if the Conservatives maintain their minority standing they will face a skeptical opposition.I can't even speculate on that,Ritchie said.Our instructions and our approach is just full steam ahead.(Editing by Peter Galloway)
