EU to dangle IMF votes for Chinese currency restraint
– Tue Sep 21, 1:53 pm ET

BRUSSELS (AFP) – European leaders will dangle a genuine willingness to give up votes in the IMF and other global powerbases if China shows responsibility on currency moves, a senior EU diplomat said Tuesday.An October 6 summit between the European Union and China, following broader meetings of leaders from 46 European and Asian nations including Russia and Australia for the first time, will see EU leaders pressed on re-balancing controls over the global economy.But while ruling out any wholesale transfer of voting power in the International Monetary Fund, Europe will commit to move in that direction with the diplomat insisting: Do not underestimate the readiness of the European side to be constructive.The eighth Asia-Europe meeting (ASEM) on October 4-5 comes just before the IMF annual meeting addresses the issue and one month before G20 leaders attempt to settle a rift over lop-sided representation at a summit in South Korea.The IMF board, which has a statutory 20 seats, currently holds 24 members, but the extra four would have to be cut back if no diplomatic deal on representation is agreed before its new, two-year board is selected by November 1.Europe currently corners nine seats, and recognises even US pressure to share out more clout among fast-growing developing economies.

As the pressure mounts, European nations will argue that with increased representation, comes increased responsibilities, amid pressure on Beijing to let its exchange rate appreciate.China said Tuesday that US pressure on Beijing to boost the value of the yuan was unwise and shortsighted, after US President Barack Obama criticised the country's exchange rate policy.The Obama administration maintains that Beijing is keeping its currency artificially low against the dollar to make its exports more competitive, and is showing increasing signs of frustration over the long-running row.Jiang however reiterated that yuan appreciation alone would not help reduce the huge US trade deficit with China.Beijing pledged in June to loosen its grip on the yuan, which had been effectively pegged at about 6.8 to the dollar since mid-2008. Since then, the currency has gained about 1.9 percent against the greenback.All those issues are tied together... on the European side, there is a genuine willingness to move towards re-balancing, said the European diplomat, who requested anonymity.Currency markets were relatively quiet before a much-anticipated meeting of the US Federal Reserve later Tuesday.

Storm knocks out power to 35,000 in central Ontario
Updated: Tue Sep. 21 2010 8:30:10 PM The Canadian Press

HUNTSVILLE, Ont. — A severe storm has forced police to close Highway 141 in several areas in the Huntsville, Ont., region. Provincial police say Highway 141 is closed in both directions at Old Parry Sound Road and near Skeleton Lake Road 2. Downed hydro wires are blamed for both closures.Hydro One says about 25,000 customers are without power in the area of central Ontario east of Georgian Bay.Another 10,000 customers are affected in the Manitoulin Island area.Environment Canada says a line of thunderstorms moved over Lake Huron and Georgian Bay packing 100 km/h wind gusts and heavy downpours.

Body of Texas man recovered as rain finally eases
SEPT 21,10

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Storms partly fueled by Hurricane Karl finally began weakening along the Texas coast on Tuesday after dumping more than 10 inches of rain, and authorities found the body of driver who had been swept away by floods.

Widespread flooding closed schools and forced families into shelters, but forecasters said the lingering showers shouldn't be as severe.The worst is over, National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Grantham said.Corpus Christi police found the body of Kelechi Kinsley Nwogu, 36, who authorities said had dialed 911 on Monday after driving into Oso Creek, which had swelled to record levels after three days of relentless rain. The call got dropped before the driver was found.Earlier this month, flooding caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine killed at least eight people, including seven in Texas. Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday requested a disaster declaration for 13 counties hit hardest by Hermine, saying the storm caused more than $2.9 million in damage.Drenching storms that began Saturday caused problems up and down the Texas coast. Pressure from heavy rains on an aging sewer system in Corpus Christi led to more than 100,000 gallons of raw sewage overflowing from a manhole, while emergency teams went door-to-door in some neighborhoods near the Mexico border that were under 2 to 3 feet of water.

No rest for flood-ravaged Mexico as new storm hits
– Tue Sep 21, 6:52 pm ET

LA PAZ, Mexico (AFP) – A new tropical storm compounded Mexico's misery Tuesday, drenching the Baja peninsula as the country tallied its dead and struggled to care for one million people affected by Hurricane Karl and historic flooding.Pacific Tropical Storm Georgette drenched the resort town of Cabo San Lucas at Baja California's southern tip, lashing the region with sustained winds of 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour.We have already evacuated around 1,000 families from areas vulnerable to flooding and storm surges, said Jose Gajon, director of Civil Defense for Baja California Sur state.Across the country to the east, the toll from the powerful hurricane which struck last Friday, mainly in Veracruz state along the Gulf of Mexico coast, rose to 22 dead as emergency crews searched many of the hundreds of towns and villages inundated by heavy rains and flooding and struggled to reach more remote communities.Among the fatalities were seven passengers on a bus that was buried when a hillside bloated by heavy rains gave way early Tuesday, near the central town of Villa Guerrero some 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Mexico City, according to the town's mayor, Tito Maya de la Cruz.Another 20 people were missing in the tragedy, he said, amid fears the death toll would rise as Civil Defense rescue teams had spent hours digging through thick mud and debris in an effort to find missing people.

At least 12 people died from Karl-related flooding or landslides in Veracruz, where authorities said half a million people have been affected, including 40,000 who remained in emergency shelters Tuesday.Nearly half the state is under water, Veracruz Governor Fidel Herrera told reporters a day after President Felipe Calderon toured hard-hit regions of the state and called for tightened security to clamp down on looting.But Herrera reiterated his call for solidarity between the half million in Veracruz and an equal number in the country's south and east who have been displaced or affected in varying degrees by weeks of rain and flooding.I have no doubt that in the next seven days Veracruz will dry out, and together we will push to rebuild, he said.Major flooding earlier this month across Mexico left 25 people dead. Authorities described this year's wet season as the worst on record.And just four days after Karl's wrath, Tropical Storm Georgette was pummeling the Pacific coast.Earlier in the day authorities halted all maritime traffic in the area amid forecasts of four-meter (13-foot) swells.The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said it forecast Georgette would move out over the Gulf of California Tuesday night and maintain its strength before churning ashore in mainland Mexico sometime Wednesday afternoon or evening.The storm was expected to dump 10-15 centimeters (four-six inches) of rain, with up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) possible in isolated areas.

These rainfall amounts may produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, the NHC said in a bulletin.Back in Veracruz, several of Mexico's most historic structures had been inundated, including dozens of buildings in La Antigua, the first town founded by the Spanish in eastern Mexico.They include the ruins of the house of Hernan Cortes, named on behalf of the famed 16th Century Spanish conquistador, which was under 1.5 meters (five feet) of water after the hurricane barreled ashore nearby. Once all the water recedes, the damage to the ruins will be assessed,local historian Wenceslao Garcia told AFP.Some parts of the historic town were still under half a meter (1.7 feet) of water on Tuesday, and locals said they felt cut off from the outside world after the hurricane.My family lost everything, said 42-year-old Fernando Montes, who was using a machete to cut up a fallen tree.
There was no support for nearly two days until the army arrived.

Hurricane Igor hits Canada with heavy rains
– Tue Sep 21, 6:02 pm ET

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland – Hurricane Igor pelted Canada's Atlantic coast province of Newfoundland with heavy rain Tuesday, flooding communities, washing out roads and stranding some residents in their homes.The Canadian Hurricane Centre said Igor had transformed into a post-tropical storm, which has a different structure from a hurricane but still packs the same punch. The storm battered Newfoundland, on Canada's eastern coast.In the Pacific, a mild tropical storm formed and was expected to cross the Mexican resort area of Baja California.The Canadian Hurricane Centre said the change in Igor's classification does not reflect a downgrade in the storm's intensity because winds have strengthened as the storm draws energy from another weather system to the west.Normally the cool North Atlantic chills out these hurricanes, but this one came up with a vengeance and met another low pressure system and the combined wallop of the wind and the water has been quite devastating, Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Williams said it caused tens of millions of dollars in damages and said it's the hardest they've been hit in recent memory. He said 14 communities have declared a state of emergency and said 27 communities are isolated as a result of washouts and road damages. He said the damage is significant.There are a lot of homes that are nearly completely submerged. Barns and structures have been washed away, completely out to sea, Williams said.He said he would visit some of the affected communities Wednesday.Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Boyd Merrill said they were investigating a report of a missing 80-year old man who was reportedly washed into the sea on Tuesday morning on Random Island when a driveway collapsed from underneath him due to heavy water flow. Merrill said police and the coast guard have not been able to access the island.This is not your normal heavy rainfall flooding. It's having a major impact, said Chris Fogarty, of the Canadian Hurricane Centre. He said more than 200 millimeters (8 inches) of rain have fallen in some regions.

Marystown Mayor Sam Synard said the storm was overwhelming his community's capacity to cope.We've never seen such a violent storm before, he said.We've lost sections of our main roads, completely washed out to sea.Keith Rodway, a member of the Clarenville town council, said parts of his town had to be evacuated.In the Pacific, a mild tropical storm formed and was expected to cross the Mexican resort area of Baja California later in the day. The Pacific tropical storm, Georgette, had maximum sustained winds near 40 mph (65 kph), but was expected to weaken as it moved over the Baja California peninsula. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Georgette made landfall near or just east of Cabo San Lucas. A tropical storm warning was issued for southern Baja California.Georgette was located about 10 miles (15 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Tuesday morning and was moving north-northwest near 9 mph (15 kph). A tropical storm warning was issued for southern Baja California.Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Wayne Edgecombe said heavy rains that flooded a key bridge in southern Newfoundland have left the Burin Peninsula's 20,000 residents cut off from the rest of the province. Edgecombe said roads all over the peninsula have been washed out or submerged, but so far there have been no major crises.About 20,000 people live on the Burin Peninsula.Igor doggedly maintained maximum sustained winds near 80 mph (130 kph). On Tuesday, the storm center was about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north-northeast of St. John's, Newfoundland and moving to the northeast near 39 mph (63 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.Schools have been closed and some flights at the St. John's International Airport have been delayed or canceled. The Canadian company Husky Energy evacuated workers from two semi-submersible drilling rigs working the White Rose offshore oil field, spokeswoman Colleen McConnell said.Igor left behind power outages, grounded boats and downed trees in Bermuda and kicked up dangerous surf on the U.S. Atlantic coast. After brushing past Bermuda, which escaped major damage, Igor veered away from the United States, but forecasters said it could still cause high surf and dangerous rip currents along U.S. beaches.

A 21-year-old man died while surfing in the storm-churned waves off Surf City, North Carolina, where he was pulled from the water Sunday afternoon. Last week, high surf kicked up by Igor swept two people out to sea in the Caribbean — one in Puerto Rico and another in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Across Los Cabos — a string of Mexican resort towns at the tip of Baja California — boat owners scrambled to tie down yachts, while restaurant workers hauled in chairs and tables ahead of Georgette's arrival. Tourists canceled fishing trips at the last minute and hunkered down inside luxury hotels for board games and spa sessions.Only light rain fell Tuesday morning, but winds kicked up 6-foot (2-meter) waves.Meanwhile far out in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Lisa formed early Tuesday with winds near 45 mph (75 kph). The storm was located about 525 miles (850 kilometers) west-northwest of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa.Associated Press writer Rob Gillies in Toronto and Ignacio Martinez in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico contributed to this report.

MEPs to call six ambassadors for hearings-The public interviews will test nominees on their knowledge of new dossiers (Photo: EUobserver)ANDREW RETTMAN
21.09.2010 @ 06:48 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - MEPs in the foreign affairs committee are to ask the EU's new ambassadors to China, Georgia, Japan, Lebanon and Pakistan and the EU Special Representative (EUSR) to Sudan to come in for hearings to check if they are up to scratch.The committee drew up the list at a meeting in Strasbourg on Monday (20 September) and aims to carry out the interviews in public sessions next month. More names can be added, especially if information comes to light casting doubt on the eligibility of other nominees.German centre-right deputy Elmar Brok said the group of six was chosen due to the importance of the countries rather than any worries about individual candidates.We will check for knowledge of the dossier. A civil servant does not need to have a political vision, he told EUobserver. MEPs do not have the legal power to block nominations. But if one of the interviewees performs badly it will create pressure for EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton to reconsider the posting. We did not want to have a system like in the United States, where Congress can block appointments and it takes a year and a half to get anything done, Mr Brok said.Ms Ashton on 15 September published a list of 29 nominees for heads of delegation and deputy heads of delegation in the European External Action Service (EEAS). She appointed the new EUSR to Sudan on 11 August. The new ambassador to China, German diplomat Markus Ederer, who is currently the head of policy planning in the German foreign ministry, is seen as a very strong choice. The new envoy to Georgia, former Bulgarian prime minister Philip Dimitrov, is also seen as a heavy-hitter because of his previous high office.The envoy to Japan, Austrian diplomat Hans Dietmar Schweisgut, should have a good grasp of EU policy as he is currently Austria's ambassador to the EU.

The other three people to face the MEPs' grilling will be: Dutch EU official Angelina Eichhorst (the new ambassador to Lebanon), who is today the head of the Political, Economic and Trade section in the European Commission delegation to Syria; Swedish EU official Lars-Gunnar Wigemark (Pakistan), the current head of the commission's Security Policy unit; and British diplomat Rosalind Marsden (Sudan EUSR), the previous UK ambassador to Sudan.Ms Ashton will in the coming weeks also name new people to head her missions to Belarus, Brazil and Iraq.MEPs won the right to cross-examine her nominees in return for giving the green light to the EEAS' new budget and staff regulations in a political deal in July.The deal does not cover her choices for top EEAS administrative jobs, such as secretary general and two deputy secretary generals. But Mr Brok said parliament might call in the new top bureaucrats as well.It's not in the agreement. But we will try to see if we can make some of them come in, he said.

EU sued over lack of transparency
ANDREW WILLIS 21.09.2010 @ 09:22 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A group of environmental lawyers are suing the EU over alleged attempts to restrict access to information and a lack of transparency in the bloc's biofuels policy. On Monday (20 September) ClientEarth filed a lawsuit against the European Commission in the EU's General Court in Luxembourg, charging the executive body with having failed to release documents containing previously undisclosed information on the negative climate impacts of widespread biofuels use.
The case, taken jointly with Transport and Environment, the European Environmental Bureau and BirdLife International, focuses on a controversial study of biofuel use which the four groups claim was manipulated by the commission. In April the International Food Policy Research Group (IFPRI) published the study which suggested that EU biofuel policy would reduce carbon emissions. But it later was claimed that the research was based on flawed assumptions, inserted at the request of the commission's energy department.Climate Earth said it decided to take the case on Monday after repeated calls to see emails relating to the changes were ignored.The commission is running an opaque operation, said Tim Grabiel, a lawyer at ClientEarth. Citizens are being denied the right to participate in decisions that affect flagship climate policies and will not only affect their lives but those of future generations as well.In March the four environmental groups took a similar case against the commission for failing to release certain documents, with the bloc's biofuels policy coming under increased scrutiny in recent years.

The EU requires at least 10 percent of energy for road and rail transport in 2020 to come from renewable sources, with biofuels originally being hailed as a key strategy to reduce the use of fossil fuels, largely blamed for climate change.A growing number of question marks have been raised, however. A recent World Bank report said that EU and US biofuels policies have resulted in a rush for land in Africa and other developing regions, taking over areas that had previously been used for food production.Other studies note that the desire to grow fuel crops has contributed to deforestation.Second generation biofuels using waste straw and forestry offcuts are seen as a solution to these problems and are said to be nearing commercialisation, but it may still be several years before they are rolled out across the globe.

Wider lack of EU transparency

In a separate case on Monday, ClientEarth also decided to sue the Council of Ministers (the EU institution representing member states) over an alleged failure to release documents.The issue relates to EU plans to review its access-to-documents law which dates back to 2002. The commission put forward plans to review the law in 2008 which ClientEarth says will restrict citizens' access to certain EU documents.
The case against the council relates to its refusal to hand over an internal legal opinion on the review.Anais Berthier, environmental justice lawyer at ClientEarth, said:The fact that we have to sue for lack of transparency during its review of EU transparency rules speaks volumes about the EU's commitment to an open society.If the commission's proposals are allowed to progress unchallenged the ramifications for freedom of information will be far-reaching.

EU squeezes China and Korea summits into one day
ANDREW WILLIS 21.09.2010 @ 17:20 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU has waxed lyrical this month about stepping up relations with its strategic partners, but holding a bilateral summit with China on the same day as a similar meeting with South Korea is a poor start, say experts. EU officials confirmed on Tuesday (21 September) that a meeting between Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during the afternoon of 6 October will be preceded earlier in the day by an EU-South Korea summit.The move has raised eyebrows considering that EU High Representative Cathy Ashton reportedly spent roughly 17 hours during her recent trip to China just to prepare for the upcoming summit with Dai Bingguo, Beijing's most senior foreign policy official.Amongst the weighty issues to be discussed are the G20 leaders' meeting in November and efforts to secure a successful environmental deal in Cancun later this year. Both South Korea and China are important relationships and cramming them in on the same day doesn't send a good message,Alice Richard, China programme co-ordinator with the European Council on Foreign Relations, told this website.A commission official defended the timing, saying it was designed to facilitate travel arrangements for Asian officials visiting Brussels for an earlier EU-ASEAN summit on 4th and 5th of October.The summits come amid an increasing realisation of China's growing stature in global affairs, evidenced by a European parliamentary debate on Tuesday morning.Speaking on behalf of the legislature's largest political family, the centre-right EPP, Cypriot MEP Ioannis Kasoulides said the EU should pursue its interests but also our values, referring specifically on the need to speak out against the reported ill-treatment of many Tibetans.Other deputies concentrated on the need to secure greater market access for EU firms doing business in China, citing a maze of regulatory requirements as a deliberate hinderance to foreign companies.Liberal MEP Niccolo Rinaldi said the EU's trade deficit with China had trebbled over the last five years. We should make it clear to our Chinese friends that we don't like it,he told EU trade commissioner Karel De Gucht, present in the plenary chamber.

A coherent strategy?

Despite the growing interest in China, commentators were scathing about last week's European Summit on foreign affairs, pointing to a spat between France and the commission over the Roma ethnic group as a fortunate diversion from the meeting's lack of results.But EU officials hope the bloc's External Action Service and the appointment of a fully-fledged EU ambassador to Beijing will help unify the frequent cacophony of divergent member state voices.German Markus Ederer is set to take the powerful post, assuming he makes it through a hearing with the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee next month.I expected it would be a German, they have the most important relationship with China, said Gustaaf Geeraerts, director of the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies.According to Mr Geeraerts, while the commission is China's main interlocutor on economic issues, Beijing prefers to deal with EU member states on foreign policy issues as the EU does not have a sharp list of negotiating positions in this area.Member state inability to band together is also a problem, he says, with China frequently playing one government off another.The former big EU powers still have their own domestic interests and attach greater priorities to national positions,he said. This is unsound. The British and French share of world GDP is constantly decreasing and if they are to have a role in the future they must co-operate.

Journalist Reveals The PA's Palestine Plot
by David Lev SEPT 21,10

There's a method to PA chief Mahmoud Abbas' ongoing refusal to negotiate seriously with Israel, journalist Uri Elitzur told Israelnationalnews in an interview – and unfortunately, his plan has a relatively good plan of succeeding.Elitzur laid out the plot in the weekend edition of Hebrew newspaper Mekor Rishon, of which he is one of the editors, last Friday. The PA's insistence that it will walk out of the talks if Israel ends the building freeze in Judea and Samaria he says,is a political gambit for something Abbas and company are far more interested in: An Israeli agreement on the borders of a Palestinian state before resolving other sensitive issues, such as security, Jerusalem, and PA demands that descendants of Arabs who abandoned Israel in 1948 be allowed to return to their former homes.The strategy is apparent to anyone who bothers to look, Elitzur says.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu knows that the talks are a game, Abbas knows the talks are a game, and both are playing well.The game, in this case, is to pass the blame for failure of the talks to the other party. U.S. President Barack Obama knows it's a game, too, Elitzur says – and he also knows how far he can push Israel. Obama knows that an American president is not a Caesar who can do whatever he wants, and there is a limit to the pressure the White House can impose on Israel. Given that both Israel and the PA have so many red lines that they dare not cross, the talks were doomed to fail, even before they started, Elitzur says.Behind this endless game lies an important consideration: What happens the day after the talks fail? What is the alternative plan? Unlike Israel, Elitzur says, the PA has such a plan: To back Israel into a corner and get Netanyahu to agree to borders of a Palestinian state

So why bother? Behind this endless game lies an important consideration: What happens the day after the talks fail? What is the alternative plan? Unlike Israel, Elitzur says, the PA has such a plan: To back Israel into a corner and get Netanyahu to agree to a shelf agreement - meaning that most of the impassable issues would be put on the shelf for the time being, while the one issue that the PA really wants to see resolved – the borders of the Palestinian state – are decided right now. Tsipi Livni actually agreed to this when she was Prime Minister, Elitzur says.If the borders between Israel and Palestine are delineated, Elitzur says, the PA can declare an official Palestinian state – one that has a reasonable chance of being accepted by the rest of the world. Contrary to popular thinking, the PA would not be able to get away with declaring a state unilaterally – not after they signed agreement after agreement that specifies negotiations as the only legitimate path to a PA state.But if Israel – and the U.S. - agree to delineate the borders, Elitzur says that the PA could probably get a great deal of international support and recognition for the PA state; they might even successfully join the UN. Once that happens, it would be a simple matter to mount a truly effective campaign against Jews residing in Palestine - and little by little, Israel would withdraw from all the areas it agreed would be part of a de jure Palestinian state, without achieving any of its security goals – and we would be stuck with a de facto terror state that could pose a mortal threat.Would the U.S. recognize such a state? Maybe not, Elitzur told Israelnationalnews. But I believe Obama would. And if he does well in the November elections, he could make life unpleasant for Israel if we don't go along with the plan, by doing things like abstaining from Security Council votes against us, and so on.In fact, in recent statements, Obama hinted at just such plan, saying in a press conference last week that ultimately, the way to solve these problems is for the two sides to agree what’s going to be Israel, what’s going to be the state of Palestine. And if you can get that agreement, then you can start constructing anything that the people of Israel see fit in undisputed areas.

The PA plan has the potential to change the public discussion on what would constitute a resolution of the Mideast conflict.Right now, the world hears us talk about a comprehensive agreement, security, two states for two peoples, and so on, Elitzur says. But if Abbas has his way, the settlements will be the only issue on the table – because we will have agreed that they are the only issue on the table. The fact that Netanyahu is likely to offer less of Judea and Samaria for a Palestinian state than either Livni or Olmert were – about 90% (although, says Elitzur, the rest will be made up with territory currently part of the State of Israel), is a sacrifice Abbas is willing to make in order to be able to declare an independent Palestine without having to hew to any of Israel's conditions.So will he get away with it? So far, Netanyahu seems to be avoiding this trap, but he is not immune to pressure.It would make things much easier for Obama, too; instead of pressuring Israel to compromise on dozens of issues, he would have only one issue to persuade – or pressure – Netanyahu to accept. Is there anything the average Israeli can do about it? Say tehillim, Elitzur says. And tell your friends to read the story that Arutz 7 is doing about it. The more people who understand what is going on, the better our chance of beating this plot.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Abbas Furious at Israel for Killing Hamas Terrorist in PA City
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu SEPT 21,10

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is furious at Israel for killing a Hamas terrorist in the city of Tulkarm, where the PA is responsible for security.

Abbas told the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency in an interview that he demanded that Israel stop operating in PA cities where the PA is supposed to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure. He did not say whether the PA knew of the location of the terrorist, who was identified as Iyad Abu-Shalabiya, 38, a Hamas member and former senior commander.He had served time in prison in Israel for security offenses, and was on the IDF's wanted list.American-trained PA troops, who officially are called policemen but underwent army training under the supervision of American army officers, generally have dealt with crime, traffic violations and misdemeanors. They have entered the field of security more frequently in the past several weeks to arrest Arabs who are active in Hamas and are against the rival Fatah party, headed by Abbas.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has insisted that Israeli forces be present in the Jordan Valley if an agreement is reached for the establishment of a new Arab state headed by the PA. PA spokesman Husam Zomlot said that not one Israeli soldier will be permitted to remain in a future Palestinian state, the Bloomberg news site reported.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Fed lays groundwork for possible further stimulus By Mark Felsenthal and Pedro da Costa - SEPT 21,10

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve on Tuesday inched closer to fresh steps to bolster a sluggish U.S. recovery, saying it stood ready to provide more support for the economy and expressing stronger concerns about low inflation.The U.S. central bank's policy-setting panel opened the door wider to pumping hundreds of billions of new dollars into the economy, although it made no policy shift at the end of a one-day meeting, keeping overnight interest rates near zero.The committee ... is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate, it said in a statement.After its last meeting on August 10, the Federal Open Market Committee had simply said it would employ its policy tools as necessary.

The FOMC now has a very explicit easing bias,JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli wrote in a note to clients. The Fed is now admitting that they are not hitting the inflation mandate, clearly not hitting the employment mandate and -- with subpar growth forecasted for the near term -- not even moving in the right direction.The expectation for further easing was captured in a Reuters poll of primary dealers taken just after the decision. It showed 10 of the 16 big banks who responded said further accommodation was likely, with seven predicting an announcement could come as early as the Fed's next meeting in November.The Fed underscored its concerns over easing price pressures in its statement by explicitly stating for the first time that core inflation was running below levels at which policymakers are comfortable.

With substantial resource slack continuing to restrain cost pressures and longer-term inflation expectations stable, inflation is likely to remain subdued for some time,it said.U.S. Treasury debt prices surged after the statement, with the yield on the two-year note hitting a series of record lows, and the dollar fell sharply as investors speculated about further easing as soon as the Fed's next meeting on November 2-3.Gold prices, which have jumped about 17 percent this year on concerns that efforts to prop up the U.S. economy will fuel inflation, set a fresh record high.On Wall Street, U.S. stock prices ended flat to lower in an erratic session.The Federal Reserve has taken another step, albeit a half step, in recognizing the unusually sluggish economic and employment outlook and related need for additional policy measures,said Mohamed El-Erian, co-chief investment officer at bond fund PIMCO.

EYE ON PRICES

Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig dissented for a sixth consecutive time, reiterating his view that the central bank could allow its balance sheet to shrink and that a vow -- repeated on Tuesday -- to keep borrowing costs exceptionally low for an extended period was no longer warranted.After cutting the overnight federal funds rate to near zero in December 2008, the Fed launched an asset-buying program in a further effort to lower borrowing costs and help the economy.In the end, it bought $1.7 trillion in longer-term U.S. government debt and mortgage-related bonds. Restarting large-scale purchases of government bonds is the Fed's most likely next step.Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said late last month that the central bank was ready to provide more stimulus if needed, but that officials would only act if the economic outlook deteriorated significantly.The Fed's statement made plain that the likely path of inflation would be a key guide as U.S. policymakers ponder their next step. Core inflation, as measured by the Fed's preferred gauge, was up 1.4 percent in the 12 months to July. Officials would like to see it land between 1.7 percent and 2 percent. But the Fed said it expected core inflation eventually to rise to levels consistent with its comfort zone. By emphasizing the need to act against the risk of deflation -- a potentially crippling downward price spiral -- Bernanke may be making an appeal to the inflation-focused hawks on the panel. Some have said they would only support further easing if deflation was a risk.

FURTHER CURRENCY PRESSURE

The Fed's easy money policies and the prospect of further easing have driven up the value of currencies in other countries, including Japan and Brazil, as investors moved out of the dollar in search of higher returns -- a move that accelerated on Tuesday.Japan intervened last week to weaken the yen, which had surged to a 15-year high against the dollar, and emerging markets are seeking ways to control huge capital inflows.The painful U.S. recession ended in June 2009, but the recovery has lost momentum this year with growth tapering to an anemic 1.6 percent annualized rate in the second quarter.Other economic data over the summer also proved surprisingly weak, prompting analysts to cut their growth forecasts for the second half of the year. A Reuters poll on September 8 found analysts looking for growth in the third quarter to come in at just a 1.8 percent rate.While the tone of the data has improved in recent weeks, the economy's sluggish pace and a deeply troubled job market have kept alive fears of another downturn.(Additional reporting by Emily Kaiser, Glenn Somerville and Emily Flitter; Editing by Dan Grebler, Gary Crosse, Leslie Gevirtz)

Ahmadinejad blames capitalism for poverty By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer - SEPT 21,10

UNITED NATIONS – Iran's president on Tuesday predicted the defeat of capitalism and blamed global big business for the suffering of millions, but Germany's chancellor said market economies were key to lifting the world's least developed countries out of poverty.The clash of visions at the U.N. anti-poverty summit drew a line under the stark differences on easing the misery of the one billion people living on less than $1.25 a day.More than 140 presidents, prime ministers and kings are attending the three-day summit which started Monday to assess and spur on achievement of U.N. targets set by world leaders in 2000. The plan called for an intensive global campaign to ease poverty, disease and inequalities between rich and poor by 2015.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, however, never mentioned the Millennium Development Goals in his speech to the 192-member General Assembly.Instead, he took aim at capitalism and called for the overhaul of undemocratic and unjust global decision-making bodies, which are dominated by the United States and other Western powers. While Ahmadinejad didn't single out any country, he said world leaders, thinkers and global reformers should spare no effort to make practical plans for a new world order — reform of international economic and political institutions.It is my firm belief that in the new millennium, we need to revert to the divine mindset...based on the justice-seeking nature of mankind, and on the monotheistic world view..., the Iranian leader said in a brief speech intertwining philosophy and religion with the current state of the world. Now that the discriminatory order of capitalism and the hegemonic approaches are facing defeat.Ahmadinejad proposed that the United Nations name the coming 10 years the decade for the joint global governance.Soon afterward, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the world's fourth-largest economic power, took an opposite tack, likely speaking for the rest of the capitalist world.Stressing that the primary responsibility for development lies with the governments of the developing countries, she said the key to economic prosperity was good governance and a flourishing capitalist economy.The countries themselves must promote the development of a market economy...for without self-sustaining economic growth developing countries will find the road out of poverty and hunger too steep to travel, Merkel said.The German leader said international assistance can't substitute for domestic resources, warned that development aid cannot continue indefinitely and declared that support for good governance is as important as aid itself.

Oxfam, one of the world's most respect aid organizations, slammed Merkel's address. Spokeswoman Emma Seery said more had been expected from the Germans, who failed to explain how they will meet their promises of aid to poor countries, and sidestepped their responsibility to make aid work by laying this at the door of the poorest countries.Seery also chided the German leader for not joining with France and Spain in calling for a small tax on financial transactions that would go to meet development needs of poor countries. Whether Germany can still claim to be a development leader is now questionable, she said in an unusually blunt assessment of a government leader's address.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said the world is on track to cut extreme poverty by half, the No. 1 goal, though some critics say it's mainly because of the big strides in China and India. Many recent reports show that the world's poorest countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, have made little progress in eradicating poverty.And in Africa, Asia and Latin America there also has been a lack of progress in meeting other key goals: reducing mother and child deaths, increasing the number of people with access to basic sanitation, and promoting women's equality. Ban is expected to launch a new initiative Wednesday to spur action on improving the lot of women and children.In his speech, Ahmadinejad did not mention Iran's nuclear program or the four rounds of U.N. Security Council sanctions over Tehran's refusal to prove it is not trying to build a nuclear weapon. Iran claims it is only working on nuclear power to generate electricity.The subject may be raised again Thursday when the General Assembly's annual ministerial meeting begins.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov raised the sanctions issue in his speech, saying U.N. sanctions were not intended to harm ordinary civilians. He voiced serious concern at additional sanctions imposed by individual countries. The criticism appeared aimed at the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea, all of whom have imposed their own much tougher sanctions on Tehran.

We are convinced that such practice contradicts the efforts to achieve the MDGs and must be brought to an end, Lavrov said, using the initials of the Millennium Development Goals. To counter these threats, Lavrov said Russia was ready to help with information and communication technology to bridge the gap between the developed and developing countries and — as a result — to promote global development.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, one of the world's poorest nations that has made progress because of the goals, said Africa still has far to go but if efforts are intensified we will, ultimately, achieve them.My message is this: As we renew our resolve in 2010, we must recognize the need for inclusive economic growth. We need rapid, stable, and sustained growth that creates jobs, especially for youth and in sectors that benefit the poor, and expands opportunities for women, she said.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said until a few years ago his country was on track to achieve a number of the MDGs, but the fight against terrorism and the recent unprecedented flooding have changed almost everything.The MDGs remain the centerpiece of Pakistan's development program, he said, but the rehabilitation of flood-ravaged areas will cost billions and will impact economic recovery and achievement of the U.N. goals. At events on the sidelines of the summit, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton launched a program to address chronic malnutrition blamed for 3.5 million maternal and child deaths a year. The program, co-sponsored by the Irish government, focuses on the first 1,000 days of a child's life, during which nutrition is critical to mental and physical development.
Later, Clinton helped launch a new program to place cleaner cooking stoves in 100 million homes by 2020. She said unsafe stoves expose as many as three billion people to toxic chemicals and smoke, and upgrading them can save and improve millions of lives.

Archaeologists find theater box at Herod's palace By AISHA MOHAMMED, Associated Press Writer – Tue Sep 21, 6:21 pm ET

JERUSALEM – Israeli archaeologists have excavated a lavish, private theater box in a 400-seat facility at King Herod's winter palace in the Judean desert, the team's head said Tuesday.Ehud Netzer of Jerusalem's Hebrew University said the room provides further evidence of King Herod's famed taste for extravagance.Herod commissioned Roman artists to decorate the theater walls with elaborate paintings and plaster moldings around 15 B.C., Netzer said. Its upper portions feature paintings of windows overlooking a river and a seascape with a large sailboat.This is the first time this painting style has been found in Israel, Netzer said.Herod was the Jewish proxy ruler of the Holy Land under Roman occupation from 37 to 4 B.C. He is known for his extensive building throughout the area.The team first excavated the site — sitting atop a man-made hill 2,230 feet high — in 2007. Netzer described the site as a kind of country club, with a pool, baths and gardens fed by pools and aqueducts.But archaeological evidence shows the theater's life was short-lived, Netzer said. Builders deliberately destroyed it to preserve the conic shape of the man-made hill.After Herod's death in the 1st century B.C., the complex became a stronghold for Jewish rebels fighting Roman occupation, and the palace site suffered significant battle damage before it was destroyed by Roman soldiers in A.D. 71, a year after they razed the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Mideast peacemakers push Israel on settlements By JOHN HEILPRIN and MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writers - SEPT 21,10

UNITED NATIONS – The Quartet of Mideast peacemakers shepherding the newly started direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations called on Israel to extend its settlement freeze past Sunday, while cautioning both sides to refrain from provocative actions and inflammatory rhetoric.Senior diplomats from the Quartet — the U.S., the European Union, the United Nations and Russia — met on the sidelines of the United Nations anti-poverty meeting to discuss a way forward in the negotiations, which have made little visible progress since they resumed earlier this month and are at risk of collapse.They renewed a vow to help finally achieve peace in the Middle East.George Mitchell, the Obama administration's envoy for Middle East peace, met Tuesday with Israeli and Palestinian officials, including one three-way session with each side's top negotiators, according to U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. But there was no sign that either side was ready to commit to a new round of direct talks.In a statement issued after its meeting, the Quartet said that the commendable Israeli settlement moratorium instituted last November has had a positive impact and urged its continuation.It encouraged both sides to continue negotiating in a constructive manner and urged the international community to support their efforts.

Earlier, the Quartet abruptly canceled a press conference that was to have included Mitchell, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.A senior European official who declined to be identified said the meeting with the press was canceled because other participants were insisting on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's presence among them. The senior official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the negotiations.

Crowley said Clinton had never intended to attend the news conference, and that the U.S. had decided that Mitchell would speak for the Obama administration. He declined to comment on whether other delegations had tried to persuade her to go. We were prepared to have George Mitchell participate in the press event had it occurred,he said.U.S. and U.N. officials insisted the press conference was canceled for technical reasons, owing to an electrical outage, and hotly denied that the cancellation reflected any problems with the negotiations.There was no disagreement. The news conference was canceled because of the technical problems in the room and building, and because the meeting started late, Ban's spokesman, Martin Nesirky, told AP.From their meeting, the Quartet principals went into talks with officials from the Arab League at which they sought to encourage continued support from the Palestinians' neighbors in reaching a peace accord, Crowley said.At the end of the closed-door meeting with ministers from key Arab nations including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan, Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said it was a very good session.But on the key issue of whether Israel will extend a partial ban on settlement building in the West Bank, territory the Palestinians want for a future state, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon indicated that Israel disagrees with the view that construction is a major impediment to the talks.Settlements have never been an issue, because once we agree on borders everything will be obvious, so let's concentrate on the real issues and not just put the obstacle in the settlements, he told reporters on the sidelines of the Quartet's talks.The Palestinians have threatened to walk out of the peace talks if the settlement slowdown — due to expire next week — is not extended.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also said France was exerting pressure and talking to our friends on both sides in hopes Israel would prolong the settlement freeze, which expires Sunday.We need that. Otherwise, the Palestinians were very clear — they will stop the negotiations and the dialogue..., he said.

Israeli President Shimon Peres met privately late Monday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a hotel across from the U.N. complex. They spoke briefly to reporters but did not discuss particulars about the recently renewed Mideast talks, including the key issue of would extend the partial ban on. Shortly after taking office in 2009, President Barack Obama said an outright halt to settlement building was a necessary first step, although his administration has since softened that demand.

Israel warns of violence if peace talks fail By ARON HELLER, Associated Press Writer – Tue Sep 21, 4:26 pm ET

JERUSALEM – With an Israeli-Palestinian impasse on settlement construction set to come to a head this weekend, the Israeli military chief said Tuesday that new Palestinian violence could erupt if peace talks collapse.The Palestinians are threatening to quit the talks unless a 10-month restriction on settlement construction is extended beyond its planned expiration on Sunday. Israel says it cannot be extended, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would likely face coalition trouble if he backed down.Netanyahu on Tuesday warned the Hamas movement — which rejects peace with Israel, has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, and already carried out one deadly attack this month — against a new round of violence.

Speaking near a community center in southern Israel where a rocket from Gaza recently exploded, he said Israel would continue to respond swiftly. I don't recommend they test our determination in this matter, he said.Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, the country's top soldier, told lawmakers that the military was bracing for possible mass protests and clashes.He added, however, that the low expectations for a peace deal could mean any violence would be less intense than the Palestinian uprising that erupted after the failure of the ambitious Camp David summit in 2000 and led to years of Israeli-Palestinian violence characterized by suicide bombings and Israeli army incursions killing thousands.We must be prepared for every possibility, he told parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, according to meeting participants who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with protocol. If talks fail, there could be riots.Palestinian Authority spokesman Ghassan Khatib agreed, saying Israel's occupation of the West Bank has generally seen alternating periods of peace efforts and violence, with the failure of one often sparking the other.I think the chances of violence will increase in the case of a breakdown of the peace talks, Khatib said.Israel faces a complex equation, with violence also sometimes coming not as a result of a failure in peace talks but rather as an effort to scuttle them.Ashkenazi warned that groups under Iranian influence will try to thwart the negotiations — a reference to Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah group. Both Islamic militant groups staunchly reject peace talks and seek Israel's destruction.

Indeed, Hamas militants killed four Israelis in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank as peace talks were being launched earlier this month.Reflecting rising tensions, settlers and Palestinians lobbed rocks at each other near the West Bank town of Nablus Tuesday.The last round of talks broke down in late 2008 when Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza aimed at stopping militant rocket fire on southern Israel.Under intense U.S. pressure, Israel agreed in November to a 10-month freeze on new construction projects in its West Bank settlements. Several thousand units already being built, however, were allowed to continue. The measure did not apply to Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, but there has been a de facto halt to new construction there as well.The slowdown in building helped pave the way for the resumption of talks earlier this month in Washington. Israel has accepted the idea of a Palestinian state, and the sides say they hope to reach a full peace deal.The U.S. and other world powers have called on Israel to extend the freeze.Officials from both sides are meeting with American leaders in the United States to seek a compromise ahead of Sunday's deadline. On Tuesday the mood in Israeli government circles was grim, with no way out of the deadlock visible. Some 300,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank among about 2.5 million Palestinians. Almost 200,000 more Israelis live in east Jerusalem, where Palestinians want the capital of their hoped-for state. Palestinians and the international community call the settlements obstacles to peace because they make it increasingly difficult for the Palestinians to establish a state not broken up by Israeli enclaves.

Israeli settlers demand that they be permitted to resume building in full force next week, and pro-settlement officials have vowed to help them.Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau told Army Radio he would advance plans to build hundreds of millions of dollars in water and sewer projects for the settlements. And pro-settler lawmakers plan to hold a celebration Sunday in the West Bank settlement of Revava, where, they say, bulldozers and cement mixers will begin work on a new neighborhood. Ashkenazi added that tensions were rising among the settlers, and that they were likely to stage angry protests if they can't build.Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, a member of Netanyahu's seven-member inner Cabinet, has proposed that Israel resume building in only those parts of the West Bank expected to remain in Israeli hands under a future deal — excluding, for example, most settlements deep inside the territory. The Israeli government has not adopted this position and Palestinians reject it, saying it effectively allows Israel to decide which settlements it will ultimately keep — rather than negotiating the matter.Also on Tuesday, the Israeli army announced the closure of its border crossings from the West Bank into Israel until the end of the month for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Such closures seek to prevent attacks during Jewish holidays.Associated Press Writer Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah, West Bank, contributed to this report.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard gets new missile
– Tue Sep 21, 8:35 am ET

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's defense minister says the country's powerful Revolutionary Guard has received its first batch of new missiles with enhanced guidance systems to hit ground targets.Gen. Ahmad Vahidi says the Defense Ministry supplied the Guard with the upgraded surface-to-surface Fateh-110 missile, which was successfully test-fired last month. The weapon was developed by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization.Iran has been pushing to upgrade its missile arsenal, which is already capable of hitting Israel and other parts of the region.Vahidi says Iran will further develop the Fateh-110. He gave no details of the missile's capabilities but earlier versions had ranges of up to 120 miles (193 kilometers).Vahidi's remarks were published Tuesday on the website of state TV.

Iran leader warns US of war with no limits
– Tue Sep 21, 4:21 pm ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) – Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that an attack on his country's nuclear facilities could spark a war with no limits.
Ahmadinejad also raised new questions about the Holocaust as he raised more controversy on his visit to New York for the annual UN General Assembly meetings.The United States has never entered a real war, not in Vietnam, nor in Afghanistan, nor even World War II,the Iranian leader told American editors and reporters when asked about how Iran would react to any US supported strike by Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities.War is just not bombing someplace. When it starts it has no limits, the New York Times reported.Do you think anyone will attack Iran to begin with? he said, according to Atlantic magazine's website. I really don't think so. The Zionist regime is a very small entity on the map, even to the point that it doesn't really factor into our equation.The UN Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. The United States and its allies have called for stringent application of the measures and Washington-Tehran relations have become increasingly fraught.The western powers accuse Iran of trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Ahmadinejad denies the charge.The Iranian leader said he was ready for nuclear talks with US President Barack Obama's administration, but said the whole outlook has to shift,ABC News reported.The UN sanctions had damaged the chances for an improvement in US-Iranian relations, he added.

Ahmadinejad blamed international politics for the growing tensions over the nuclear program. Iran?s nuclear case is a political case, the New York Times quoted him as saying. Otherwise, why would it be essential for the details of our nuclear program be made available to the media? Ahmadinejad was again questioned about the killing of millions of Jews in Nazi death camps during World War II.He described it as a historical event used to create a pretext for war.The question is, why don't we allow this subject to be examined further.... It is incorrect to force only one view on the rest of the world, he was quoted as saying.We need to ask, where did this event occur, and why should the Palestinian people continue to suffer for it? I am not an anti-Semite. I am anti-Zionism, he said.Ahmadinejad denied that Iran's opposition movement faced persecution. Those individuals face no problems, no difficulties, he said. They are all free in fact.Ahmadinejad went on to give a chaotic speech at the UN summit on the Millennium Development Goals in which he blamed capitalism for the world's ills.He soon broke off his presentation to complain about the lack of simultaneous translation to the UN assembly presidency.

The president resumed but at the end, the UN interpreters said they were only reading from a translated text in English and not following Ahmadinejad's comments.
The hall was half empty. Canada's delegation boycotted the speech but it appeared to be the only one to protest. In the past western ambassadors and ministers have walked out en masse. Ahmadinejad called for fundamental reform of the undemocratic and unjust world order, according to a text distributed by the Iranian mission.
Demanding liberal capitalism and transnational corporations have caused the suffering of countless women, men and children in so many countries,he was quoted as saying.

Nigeria lead contamination may affect 18,000 people: UN
– Tue Sep 21, 12:07 pm ET

GENEVA (AFP) – More than 200 children are thought to have died in Nigeria following massive lead contamination that has affected an estimated 18,000 people because of illicit gold mining, the UN said Tuesday.Five experts equipped with a mobile laboratory have arrived in the country to help health authorities pin down the extent of the contamination and tackle it, the UN's Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.From the latest figures we have, more than 200 children reportedly died from this poisoning, OCHA spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told journalists as the UN body warned of acute massive lead poisoning.Byrs told AFP that an estimated 18,000 people were affected in the villages around the gold mining area in northern Zamfara state, around Bukkuyum and Anka.It's a developing problem. Seven villages were affected but we don't know the full extent, she added.Proper sampling from the mobile laboratory is urgently needed to determine the scope and magnitude of the crisis and to assist in developing a rigorous response, according to an OCHA briefing note.

The poisoning was triggered by makeshift processing of lead-rich ore to extract gold, with crushed rock often taken into homes and communities, while the residue is discarded haphazardly in the soil.Nigerian health authorities first noticed excess mortality in the area in March and brought in international help weeks later, but the extent of the poisoning and contamination appears to have grown.The OCHA said soil also appeared to be heavily contaminated by mercury and copper, and was likely to need a massive clean up.The problem is that the rainy season will cause even greater contamination, Byrs said.In June the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was called in by Nigeria to help, described the scope of the lead poisoning as unprecedented.Symptoms of lead poisoning normally build up over long periods as the heavy metal accumulates in the human body, producing abdominal pain, nervous disorders affecting growth and ultimately leading to kidney failure.Children are the most vulnerable.

China launches first cross-border air strike drill
– Tue Sep 21, 9:35 am ET

BEIJING – China has launched its first-ever cross-border simulated air strike as part of joint drills with Russia, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian States, state media reported Tuesday.Six Chinese planes, including four bombers and two fighter jets, crossed from China into Kazakhstan as part of the mock mission, Xinhua News Agency said.The exercise also included support from early warning aircraft and in-flight refueling, showcasing China's efforts to build a credible air deterrent able to strike over long distances, Xinhua said.The mission was part of increasingly sophisticated annual regional security drills that this year include 5,000 troops from China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. The reports did not say when the mission was carried out.China's armed forces have intensified training in recent years with the goal of mastering new cutting-edge weapons technologies and integrating the operations of land, air and sea units.Long a poor cousin to China's vast land army, the air force has vaulted up the technological ladder with the addition of latest generation Russian and domestically produced aircraft.Xinhua identified the planes that took part in the cross-border flight as J-10 fighters produced domestically but powered by Russian engines, and Hong-6 bombers, an updated version of a Russian design from the 1950s that carry two land-attack cruise missiles under their wings.

Kim Jong Il may promote son at NKorea party meet By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer – Tue Sep 21, 11:18 am ET

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's ruling communist party has finally set a date for its biggest convention in decades, an apparent indication that the regime may be ready to give the aging leader's son a key position that will pave the way for his succession.Delegates to the ruling Workers' Party will meet in Pyongyang on Sept. 28 to select their supreme leadership body, the official Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday.The conference will be the party's first major gathering since the landmark 1980 congress where then 38-year-old Kim Jong Il made his own political debut with an appearance that confirmed he was in line to succeed his father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, as his nation's leader.Kim Jong Il took control of North Korea when his father died of heart failure in 1994 in what was communism's first hereditary transfer of power. Now 68 and reportedly in poor health two years after suffering a stroke, Kim is believed to be prepping his third and youngest son, Kim Jong Un, for a similar father-to-son power transition.But as with most things related to the so-called Hermit Kingdom nothing has been officially confirmed by North Korean officials. The regime is so secretive that outside observers often are left to read between the lines of vague state media dispatches and analyze satellite photos to divine what's going on.Analysts say Kim Jong Un may quietly be appointed to top party posts at next week's convention in a key step in the succession process that will not be announced in state media.I believe North Korea has decided to give the successor an official title but not to make it public to the outside world because publicizing the appointment could make Kim Jong Il a lame-duck leader, said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the Seoul-based University of North Korean Studies.

Tuesday's state media report gave no explanation for why the much-anticipated convention, initially set for early September, had been delayed.Analysts say internal debate among the party elite over whether to publicize Kim Jong Un's political appointment to the outside world, as well as concern about recent devastation from flooding and a deadly typhoon, likely prompted the regime to postpone the nation's biggest political meeting in 30 years.Discussion over what economic reform the regime should announce during the party conference may also have contributed to the delay, said Kim Yong-hyun of Dongguk University.Little is known about Kim Jong Un, said to be in his late 20s and schooled in Switzerland. He has never been mentioned in state media, and there are no confirmed photos of him as an adult.He has two older brothers, Jong Nam and Jong Chol. But Kenji Fujimoto, who says he was Kim Jong Il's sushi chef for more than 10 years, wrote in a memoir that it was the youngest who was most like his father, ruthless and competitive even as a child.South Korean intelligence officers believe Pyongyang has launched a propaganda campaign promoting the son with songs and poems. He's already being hailed as the Young General and Our Commander, with soldiers and workers pledging allegiance to the son on his birthday in January, South Korean media have said, citing unidentified sources in North Korea.The process, however, is shrouded in secrecy, evidenced by the fact that South Korean officials didn't even know how to spell the son's name until last year.Earlier this week, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said Chinese Premier Wen Jiaobao told him that Kim Jong Il disputed the prospective promotion of his youngest son as a false rumor — underscoring the difficulty of reading the isolated regime.I was amazed when he made that statement, Carter told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday. He said that Kim Jong Il made a flat statement that his succession story was a false Western rumor.

Carter made a rare trip to Pyongyang last month to secure the release of an imprisoned American but didn't meet Kim, who was in China at the time.Next week, delegates are expected to elect new party leaders to fill spots left vacant for years. It's not clear which party position Kim Jong Un might take in what would be his first known official job. Yang said he's likely to be elected organizational secretary, the No. 2 party job that his father won in 1973 in his path toward becoming the leader. Kim Yong-hyun of Dongguk University said, however, the son was likely to take a working-level post since he is still so young.Keen attention is also focused on Kim Jong Il's only sister, Kim Kyong Hui, who in the past two years has been a frequent companion to the leader on field trips to army bases and factories. She currently serves as the political party's department chief for light industry.Her husband, Jang Song Thaek, has also been rising in stature. Jang was promoted in June to be vice chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, making him the No. 2 official to Kim Jong Il on the regime's top state organ. The conference is being held amid preparations for the milestone 65th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party on Oct. 10, improving relations with Seoul, and attempts by diplomats from neighboring nations to revive dormant six-nation disarmament negotiations on North Korea's nuclear weapons program.North Korea walked away from the talks last year in protest over U.N. Security Council condemnation for launching a long-range rocket, widely seen as a test of its missile technology.
