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

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

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

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

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

Hackers dump EU staff passwords and credit card details onto net Today JAN 9,12 @ 15:09 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - A number of people working for the EU institutions have had their emails, passwords and credit card details hacked and released to the general public over the Christmas break.A partial list was recently published online by Anonymous, a loose network of cyber activists campaigning against the so-called New World Order.Among the victims are administrators and officials at the European Commission, Eurojust (an EU body fighting organised crime), the European External Action Service, the European Parliament and Brussels-based think-tank the European Policy Centre (EPC).
Some have yet to be informed of the breach.EUobserver on Monday (9 January) spoke to EPC analyst Amanda Paul who was unaware that her credit card number, password, mobile telephone number, mail address and email are floating in the public domain.

This website read her credit card number to her over the phone to confirm authenticity. After a very brief phone interlude, she promptly called her credit card company to cancel her card and change her email password.All together, some 850,000 confidential details were released when Anonymous hacked into the Texas-based Stratfor Global Intelligence security firm.Stratfor is a widely used private security research company. About 75,000 of its paying subscribers also had their credit card details disclosed, including some working for the EU institutions.
The leaked database has 19,000 email addresses ending in the .mil domain of the US military according to the Guardian newspaper. The list also included 242 Nato staff members.This company has suffered a blow to its reputation,Andreas Hartmann, who heads the European Parliament's policy department on Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs, told this website.Hartmann's confidential details were also breached, but he said numerous actors immediately informed him. He would not go into further detail.I immediately blocked my account. I didn't suffer any problems,he said, adding that he was satisfied by Stratfor's prompt response and communication on the matter.Last year, Hartmann headed a study on the parliamentary oversight of security and intelligence agencies in the European Union.

For his part, Fred Burton, Stratfor's vice president of intelligence made a YouTube address on 28 December assuring paid subscribers they would be informed of the breach with details on how to protect their data. The company's website is still offline and has since been replaced by a page informing customers they will be entitled to a free one-year data identity coverage from a partner firm as compensation.Perhaps the reason Stratfor's taking its time to get back online is because they simply have no infrastructure anymore,anonymouSabu, one of the alleged masterminds behind Anonymous, tweeted on Saturday (7 January). According to Anonymous, the details were easily hacked because Stratfor did not run routine encryption on the data.The entire operation could cast a long shadow over intense US lobbying against a leaked draft proposal for a Data Protection Regulation from the European Commission this past December.Among the US complaints are the European Commission's views on data breach requirements, which they consider as overly severe and could undermine corporate data security practices.It is interesting to note that the US document tends to oppose specific proposals, such as the notification deadline and fines, in support of the vague issues such as not distracting businesses from improving corporate data security practices,wrote Joe McNamee in an email to EUobserver.McNamee is an EU advocacy co-ordinator at European Digital Rights.Public consultation of the draft ends on 15 January, with European Commissioner Viviane Reding, in charge of fundamental rights, expected to release a final draft of the directive before the end of the month.

Merkel urges Greece to implement debt deal
Today JAN 9,12 @ 17:23 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - The latest in a series of Franco-German meetings to deal with the eurozone crisis saw little in the way of concrete decisions, but Chancellor Angela Merkel took the opportunity to warn Greece there will be no more money unless progress is made on details of the country's second aid package.We have to implement the conclusions from October. That means the voluntary restructuring of Greek debt must be pushed forward. And from our point of view, the second Greek programme - including debt restructuring - must be achieved quickly otherwise it will not be possible to pay out the next tranche for Greece,she said following a working lunch in Berlin with President Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday (9 January).We want Greece to stay in the euro area. We have repeatedly said that the restructuring of Greece's debt is an offer to improve Greek debt sustainability. However, Greece must really implement its troika obligations,she said, referring to conditions laid down by the EU, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).The EU and the IMF in 2010 agreed to lend Greece €110 billion. Last year they signed off a further loan of €109 billion.Since then both sides have been locked in negotiations over whether Greece is fulfilling its side of the bargain and how to make the private sector voluntarily accept a 50 percent loss on the value of their Greek bonds.

Talks have been complicated by suggestions from various experts that the private sector deal should either be scrapped altogether or that the writedown should be more substantial for it to make a real difference to Greece's debt.Outlining a vague to-do list following the meeting, Merkel said France and Germany are working on plans to speed up contributions to the eurozone's permanent bailout fund (the ESM) and promised to look into the best practices of member states when it comes to labour market policies.They also expressed confidence that a new intergovermental treaty on tightening fiscal discipline in the eurozone would be ready quickly. There is a good chance that it can be signed by the end of January, Merkel said.The chancellor supported President Sarkozy's decision to forge ahead with plans for a French-only financial transactions tax, but did not say if Germany would come onboard, admitting there is no agreement within her own cetnre-right/liberal ruling coalition on the issue.Finance ministers should come with a report on the issue by March at the latest, she noted.

Small step

Sarkozy acknowledged that Monday's meeting was just a small step in the drawn-out eurozone crisis.Asked if enough measures had been taken to ensure the eurozone would be safe in the event of a Greek default, he said that if they were feeling calm about the situation they would not feel the need to meet so often.The situation is very tense,he said.The Merkel-Sarkozy event marks the beginning of a series of meetings leading up to the EU summit on 30 January. Merkel will hold talks with IMF chief Christine Lagarde on Tuesday and see her Italian counterpart Mario Monti on Wednesday. The leaders of France, Germany and Italy will meet on 20 January while EU finance ministers will meet three days later.

France to push for financial tax at Berlin meeting
Today JAN 9,12 @ 09:27 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - French President Nicolas Sarkozy is meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Monday (9 January) to seek support for a financial transactions tax that risks aggravating EU division on how to handle the financial crisis.We won't wait for others to agree to put it in place, we'll do it because we believe in it,he said on Friday after talks in Paris with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti in reference to Britain's opposition to the new tax.Amid ever-widening disagreement in the Union on how to react to the crisis, British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Sunday he would block any attempt to introduce an EU-wide toll, but added that if France wants to go it alone it is free to do so.The idea of a transactions tax put in place only in Europe that doesn't include other jurisdictions, what that would do is it would cost jobs, it would cost us tax revenue, it would be bad for the whole of Europe,he told the BBC.Britain fears that the so called Tobin tax - named after Nobel prize-winning economist James Tobin - would see financial institutions leave London for softer tax regimes such as Switzerland or China.Protecting the interests of the City of London was one main reason why Cameron in December vetoed an EU treaty change. The British leader demanded safeguards that no further legislation will be passed to curb the freedom of financial markets. The veto isolated Britain as the 26 other EU countries went with a new inter-governmental treaty on financial discipline without it.Other EU leaders including Angela Merkel and Mario Monti still back the idea of an EU-wide Tobin tax.It is necessary that the different countries do not go it alone in the application of this tax. I believe in a European perspective,Monti said on Friday. Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said the German government is pushing for an EU tax even though there is no global agreement on the subject at the level of the G20 countries.

For his part, French state secretary Benoist Apparu said on Sunday that a first draft of legal proposals for an EU tax will be discussed by finance ministers probably in February.He added that Paris will lead by example and vote on a France-only tax ahead of the presidential elections in April.French finance groups have warned against any attempt to play politics with th sector.Association Paris Europlace - representing key players in the French financial sphere - said the tax would hurt the country's economy unless it was implemented across the Union.If this tax was applied only in France, it would inevitably lead to an exodus of banks, insurance companies and management, and would reduce the role of Paris in the European and global economy,it said.Audit firm Ernst & Young estimates that even an EU-wide tax would have a negative impact on revenues.Last September, the European Commission published an impact study of the tax suggesting it could raise annual revenue of around €37 billion.Ernst & Young said in its report the commission made a number of optimistic assumptions about the likely decline in trading activity that would result and instead predicted that it would create a €116 billion hole in EU countries' public finances.

Confidence ebbs in Greece's ability to stay in euro
Today JAN 9,12 @ 09:29 By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - Experts in Germany and the Czech Republic are losing faith that Greece will be able to stay in the single currency despite its multi-billion bail-outs.The negative feeling was voiced in two newspaper interviews over the weekend.Clemens Fuest, an Oxford University economist and an advisor to German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble, told Greek newspaper To Vima on Sunday (8 January) that private bondholders will have to write off more than the 50 percent of Greek debt agreed at an EU summit last October.He warned that even this may not be enough to stop a default, however.To my view, Greece has already defaulted ... I believe that the best thing would be if one honestly says that the Greek government cannot repay its debt. In such a way, a better settlement could be achieved,he said.Miroslav Singer, the head of the Czech central bank, told the Hospodarske Noviny newspaper in remarks published on Monday that unless the EU pours in more money, Greece will have to leave the euro.If there is not the will to give Greece a massive amount of money from European structural funds, I do not see any other solution than its departure from the eurozone and a massive devaluation of the new Greek currency,he noted.So far Greece has been given loans that served mainly for buying time and for rich Greeks to move their money out of the country. This lowers the trustworthiness of Europe.The EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2010 agreed to lend Greece €110 billion. In 2011, they gave the nod to a top-up loan of €109 billion. The money is being paid out in tranches on the basis of Greek conformity with related austerity demands. The next slice is due in March.

IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard in an interview with CNBC on Friday also predicted extra pain for private lenders. The numbers [for Greece] are not good ... There'll have to be substantial haircuts [debt write-offs],he warned.IMF pessimism was confirmed on Monday when German magazine Der Spiegel cited an internal IMF memo saying Greece will have to quit the single currency unless private investors take bigger losses, the EU gives more money or Greece sells more state-owned assets.
Blanchard in his blog recently noted that gloomy statements have a tendency to become self-fulfilling prophecies.Perceptions matter: once the real money investors have left a market, they do not come back overnight ... Not much happened to change the economic situation in the eurozone in the second half of the year. But once markets and commentators started to mention the possible breakup of the euro, the perception remained and it also will not easily go away. Many financial investors are busy constructing strategies in case it happens,he wrote on New Year's day.For his part, Greek central bank governor George Provopoulos also on New Year's day told Greek press that a return to the drachma would be hell ... a nightmare.Provopoulos predicted the new drachma would lose up to 70 percent of its value, creating fuel and food shortages and disabling the Greek police and army. He added that Greece might have revert to a barter economy for a period of up to two and a half years while the drachma was gradually put back into circulation.

Iran starts underground nuclear work, condemns American to die ReutersBy Parisa Hafezi and Fredrik Dahl | Reuters – JAN 9,12

TEHRAN/VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has switched on a uranium enrichment plant deep inside a mountain and sentenced to death an American arrested as a spy, actions sure to provoke the West's anger and undermine diplomacy aimed at averting crippling sanctions or even war.The start of enrichment at the Fordow bunker near the Shi'ite Muslim holy city of Qom was confirmed on Monday by an Iranian official in Tehran and two diplomats in Vienna, home of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has inspected it.Locating enrichment - the most contentious part of Iran's nuclear program - deep underground could eventually make it much harder for U.S. or Israeli forces to bomb, narrowing the time window for diplomacy to avert any potential attack.The death sentence for Amir Mirza Hekmati, 28, an Arizona-born former U.S. military translator, further riled Washington, which denies he is a spy and has demanded his immediate release since his arrest last month.If true, we strongly condemn such a verdict and will work with our partners to convey our condemnation to the Iranian government,White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.The two moves come at a time when new U.S. sanctions imposed over Iran's nuclear program are causing real economic pain. Tehran has responded with threats to international shipping that have frightened oil markets. And a parliamentary election in two months is widening Iran's internal political divisions.On New Year's Eve, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law by far the toughest financial sanctions yet against Iran, which if fully implemented could make it impossible for most countries to pay for Iranian oil. The European Union, which still buys a fifth of Iran's 2.6 million barrels per day of exports, is expected to announce an embargo this month.

TALKS COLLAPSED

Nuclear talks collapsed a year ago between Iran and the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany (P5+1). Efforts to restart them have foundered over Iran's refusal to negotiate over its right to enrich uranium, which it says is for peaceful use but the West believes is for an atomic bomb.The United States and Israel both say they are leaving military options on the table if they believe it is the only way to prevent Iran from making a nuclear weapon.If Iran is enriching uranium at Fordow, that escalates the crisis and may shorten the timeline for the P5+1 to dissuade Israel from taking military action, said Mark Hibbs of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.Hekmati's case is thought to be the first in which Tehran has passed a death sentence on a U.S. citizen for spying. His family says he was arrested while visiting grandparents in Iran.Iran has aired a televised confession - denounced by Washington - in which Hekmati said he worked for a New York-based video company designing games to manipulate public opinion in the Middle East on behalf of U.S. intelligence.Amir Mirza Hekmati was sentenced to death ... for cooperating with the hostile country America and spying for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), ISNA news agency quoted judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei as saying.The court found him Corrupt on the Earth and Mohareb (one who wages war on God).Hekmati's execution could still be blocked by Iran's highest court, which must confirm all death sentences. Iran could hold on to Hekmati and use him - as they have with previous foreign detainees - as a pawn in their rivalry with the United States, said Gala Riani, analyst at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight.

Three U.S. backpackers jailed in Iran as spies in 2009 were freed in 2010 and 2011 in what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called a humanitarian gesture. An Iranian-American sentenced to eight years for spying in 2009 was freed after 100 days.A spokesman for Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan, where Hekmati's father works, said the family would not be commenting on the sentence because it's a very tricky diplomatic situation.Hekmati previously worked as a U.S. military translator. Iran's Farsi language is one of the two main tongues spoken in Afghanistan, and the U.S. military often deploys Americans of Iranian origin there as translators.

ENRICHMENT

Iran has long said it would begin enrichment of uranium at the Fordow bunker, but some Western capitals may have hoped it could be persuaded to hold off to restart diplomacy.Tehran says it intends to refine uranium to 20 percent purity for use in a peaceful medical research reactor, and that it has hidden nothing from the IAEA.All nuclear activities, including enrichment in Natanz and Fordow, are under continuous surveillance and control and safeguards of the IAEA, Iran's envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, told Reuters in Vienna.The West says uranium of 20 percent purity is not necessary for power plants and would be a big step towards the higher purity needed for a nuclear bomb. Western officials say Iran lacks the technology to use it in a medical research reactor.Iran disclosed to the IAEA in 2009 that it was building the facility beneath a mountain at Fordow, but only after learning that it had been detected by Western intelligence.All of Iran's enrichment activity is in violation of (United Nations) Security Council resolutions and any expansion of its capacity at Fordow just compounds those violations,said a Western diplomat in Vienna.

SANCTIONS BITE

In a case apparently separate from Hekmati's, Iran said on Monday it had broken up a U.S.-linked spy network planning to fuel unrest ahead of a parliamentary election in March.The detained spies were in contact with foreign countries through cyberspace, Intelligence Minister Haydar Moslehi was quoted by state television as saying. He gave no information about the nationalities or the number of those detained.The parliamentary election will be Iran's first since a 2009 presidential vote whose disputed result triggered eight months of unrest. Iran's rulers put those protests down by force but since then the Arab Spring has shown the vulnerability of authoritarian governments in the region to such uprisings.After years in which economic sanctions had little effect, the latest measures are causing real pain.Oil buyers are demanding deep discounts from Iran, cutting the revenue it needs to feed its 74 million people. The rial currency has plunged and Iranians have scrambled to withdraw savings from banks to buy dollars.Iran has remained defiant. In a televised speech on Monday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said: Sanctions imposed on Iran by our enemies will not have any impact on our nation.The Iranian nation believes in its rulers.Iran has responded to the new sanctions by threatening to shut the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet for ships carrying oil from the Gulf, guarded by a huge U.S.-led international fleet.Brent Crude was trading at around $113 a barrel on Monday, up by about $6 in the nine days since Obama signed the new sanctions into law. Iran's military threats and sanctions news have caused spikes in the price in recent weeks.The U.S. sanctions law allows Obama to issue temporary waivers to firms buying Iranian oil to prevent havoc on energy markets, but countries are meant to show they are cutting back purchases from Tehran to receive permits. Saudi Arabia has promised to make up any shortfall in global supplies.The foreign minister of Japan, one of the main buyers of Iranian oil, visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar in recent days and discussed oil security, although a spokesman said it was too early to make specific requests.Diplomacy was made more difficult late last year when European countries withdrew their ambassadors after protesters stormed the British embassy in Tehran in November. France said on Monday its ambassador had returned.(Additional reporting by Hossein Jaseb, Mitra Amiri and Ramin Mostafavi in Tehran, Christopher Wilson and Caren Bohan in Washington and Regan Doherty in Qatar; Writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Andrew Roche)

Arab monitors buy time for Assad-Syria opposition
ReutersBy Alistair Lyon | Reuters – JAN 9,12

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Arab League monitors are only giving Syrian authorities more time to crush their opponents, opposition figures said on Monday after the League opted to keep the mission in place despite Syria's failure to comply fully with an Arab peace plan.The observers, who began work on the ground two weeks ago, have so far failed to stop the violent suppression of protests against President Bashar al-Assad in which the United Nations says more than 5,000 people have been killed in 10 months.After a review meeting in Cairo on Sunday, the Arab League said the government had only partly implemented a pledge to stop the bloodshed, free detainees and withdraw troops from cities.Adnan Khodeir, head of the monitors' operations room in the Egyptian capital, said more observers would reach Syria this week, bringing the team's strength to 200 from 165 now.The initial report is too vague, and it essentially buys the regime more time, said Rima Fleihan, a member of the Syrian National Council, a leading opposition group in exile.We need to know what the League will do if the regime continues its crackdown in the presence of the monitors. At one point it needs to refer Syria to the U.N. Security Council.The Arab League appears divided over whether to take such a step, which in the case of Libya led to foreign military intervention that helped rebels topple Muammar Gaddafi.

Russia and China have opposed any Security Council move on Syria, while Western powers hostile to Assad have so far shown little appetite for Libya-style intervention in a country that sits in a far more combustible area of the Middle East.Gunfire erupted near a car carrying Arab monitors away from an anti-Assad demonstration they had attended in the turbulent city of Homs on Monday, but no one was hurt, activists said.They said the shooting came from a security checkpoint. A video posted on YouTube shows a crowd following a black car. When gunfire is heard, the car stops and the protesters flee. Then the car slowly moves again and the shooting stops.As with most events in Syria, where most independent media are banned, it was impossible to verify what had happened.Rami Abdulrahman, of the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said keeping the Arab monitors in Syria without a substantial increase in their numbers would only give the regime more time to deal with the Syrian revolution.

HIDING TANKS

He said Syrian authorities had hidden tanks in military and security compounds or repainted armored vehicles in blue police colors. Only a small proportion of the many thousands of detainees seized during the unrest had been freed, he added.

Syrian officials say they are fighting "terrorism" by subversives armed from abroad, not a broad-based revolt against more than four decades of Assad family rule. The authorities say their foes have killed 2,000 security force members.

Arab League officials said the future of the monitoring mission, due to make a full report on January 19, depended on the Syrian government's commitment to ending the daily bloodshed.If the ... report comes out saying the violence has not stopped, the Arab League will have a responsibility to act on that, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told a news conference after the Cairo meeting.He did not outline any next step by the League, which suspended Syria in November for failing to comply with an agreed peace plan. The 22-member body also announced sanctions, but these do not appear to have been fully implemented.The Arab plan called for tolerance of peaceful protests, a political dialogue and free access for foreign media.There was no formal Syrian government response to the Cairo meeting, but the state-appointed mufti Ahmed Hassoun, Syria's most senior Muslim authority, gave a defiant message.The land of Sham (Syria) will not be humiliated, he said in a Damascus church during multi-faith prayers for 26 people the government said were killed by a suicide bomber on Friday.

SYRIA'S ANGELS

Those who want Syria to be an arena for their own agenda against the will of its people, I say to the Arab League and to the United Nations that Syria has angels ... that will fly over it until resurrection day, Hassoun said.Hundreds of people have been killed since Syria first agreed to the Arab plan, most of whose provisions remain unfulfilled.We have no doubt in our minds that the Syrian authorities are doing everything they can to avoid any form of scrutiny, said Nadim Houry, a Beirut-based Human Rights Watch campaigner.Qatar, which chairs the Arab League committee on Syria, has acknowledged mistakes made by the observers, but its proposal to invite U.N. experts to help them was not accepted.The problem with these missions is that mistakes are costly because every day people are dying, said Houry, who urged the monitors to be more transparent and communicative.Ahmad al-Khatib, a member of the Syrian Revolution General Commission, said the Arab League report could have been more damning, but at least it recognized the need for more monitors to observe unrest and repression across a nation of 23 million.The Arab League seems to want to keep a line open with the Syrian regime and not risk having the monitors expelled or see their work further restricted,he told Reuters.The League communique called on the Syrian opposition to present its own political vision and asked the League's secretary general to convene a Syrian opposition meeting.Syrian opposition groups have struggled to unify or to form a widely accepted representative council.
They are split over the role of armed resistance in what set out as a peaceful protest movement, the weight Islamist groups should have in any joint opposition body, and the scope for Arab, U.N. or other external action to drive Assad from power.(Additional reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis in Amman, Dominic Evans and Mariam Karouny in Beirut and Yasmine Saleh and Ayman Samir in Cairo; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

China nudges North and South Korea to reach out
ReutersBy Chris Buckley | Reuters – JAN 9,12

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Hu Jintao on Monday nudged his visiting South Korean counterpart to seek better ties with North Korea, the official Xinhua news agency reported, ahead of meetings between envoys to discuss the North's nuclear program.Lee Myung-bak's visit to Beijing has been overshadowed by questions about how the two sides will grapple with North Korea, where the death last month of long-time leader Kim Jong-il fanned worries about fresh regional confrontation as his successor, Kim Jong-un, consolidates power.President Hu, whose government is the North's sole major backer, told Lee stability was his paramount concern.Hu said China will continue to support the improvement of relations between the two sides of the divided Korean peninsula, Xinhua reported.It is in line with the interests of all parties concerned to safeguard the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula, he said. China is also willing to enhance communication and coordination with all relevant parties and make unremitting efforts in this respect, Xinhua reported in English.China hopes the parties concerned will have more moves that help promote peace and stability on the peninsula, Hu said.The Chinese leader's reported remarks shed no new light on how Beijing sees the transition in Pyongyang, where Kim Jong-il was succeeded by his untested and largely unknown youngest son, Kim Jong-un. But Hu's comments underscored Beijing's focus on avoiding fresh flare-ups on the peninsula.Some analysts have speculated the young Kim may order a provocation, such as a small-scale military attack or nuclear or missile test, to burnish a hardline image with the North's powerful military, whose support is crucial to him.Earlier, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Lim Sung-nam, Seoul's top nuclear envoy, would meet Chinese counterpart Wu Dawei during Lee's trip to discuss denuclearising the North.The South has also said its main foreign policy goal this year is maintaining stability on the peninsula as its unpredictable neighbor embarks on a third generation of dynastic rule following Kim Jong-il's death last month.But Beijing has also faced growing wariness from neighbors over its military modernization and strategic intentions, especially over North Korea, a problem acknowledged by a leading Chinese newspaper.

Particularly with China's rapid development altering the relative balance of power between the two sides, problems have arisen in Chinese-South Korean relations that need urgent attention,said the overseas edition of the People's Daily, the official paper of China's ruling Communist Party.Above all there is the problem of mutual political trust, said a front-page commentary in the paper by Zhang Liangui, a prominent Chinese expert on Korean affairs.Seoul's ambassador to China, Lee Kyu-hyung, recently said the South would continue to raise the issue of China's unwillingness to condemn North Korea when it provokes the South.Although Beijing and Seoul share broad aims on the divided Korean peninsula, Zhang said, their different interests and positions have produced a negative impact on bilateral relations.Lee angered Pyongyang by cutting off aid to its impoverished neighbor when he took office in 2008, demanding nuclear disarmament and economic reform as preconditions to reopen food assistance and political engagement.Tensions on the Korean peninsula rose in 2010 when the North launched an artillery barrage into a South Korean island, killing civilians. The North was also blamed for a torpedo attack against a South Korean navy ship that killed 46 sailors.North and South Korea are technically still at war under a truce ending the 1950-53 Korean War.

TRADE TALKS FLAGGED

Lee's three-day visit began after Chinese media flagged the prospect of trade pact talks in coming months, holding out closer economic ties as a way to narrow political distrust.The China Daily said the two sides are considering negotiations for a three-way free trade agreement including Japan, and a separate China-South Korea trade agreement.An unidentified source from China's Ministry of Commerce told the paper the China-South Korea bilateral trade pact talks will probably start in the first half of the year.Marking the start of the talks, Lee noted the rapid development of relations between South Korea and China in all spheres since formal ties were established 20 years ago.Despite Beijing's political support for North Korea, Chinese economic ties with South Korea are much larger.In the first 11 months of 2011, China's trade with the South was worth $224.8 billion, a rise of 19.5 percent on the same period in 2010, according to Chinese customs data. Its trade with North Korea was worth $5.2 billion in the first 11 months of 2011.Since 2008, South Korea and China have conducted joint studies on their possible free trade deal.

Gaza leader promises difficult days for Israel
AFPAFP – JAN 9,12

The prime minister in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Sunday promised difficult days for Israel, and at a rally in Tunis urged Arab Spring revolutionaries to fight for an independent Palestine.Ismail Haniya received an ovation from the crowd of some 5,000 men, women and children gathered in a stadium waving Palestinian, Tunisian and Hamas flags.Israel no longer has allies in Egypt and in Tunisia, we are saying to the Zionist enemies that times have changed and that the time of the Arab Spring, the time of the revolution, of dignity and of pride has arrived, he said to loud cheers.We promise you that we will not cede a single part of Palestine, we will not cede Jerusalem, we will continue to fight and we will not lay down our arms, he said.
He urged the people of the revolution to fight the army of Al-Quds as Jerusalem is known in Arabic.To Tunisia we say: It is us today who are going to build the new Middle East.Haniya insisted We will not recognise Israel, as the crowd chanted: Death to Israel, The Tunisian revolution supports Palestine, and The army of Mohammed is back.Some wiped their feet on the Star of David.Haniya arrived in Tunis on Thursday for a five-day visit at the invitation of the new Islamist-led Tunisian authorities. He has also visited Egypt, Sudan and Turkey and will next travel to Qatar and Bahrain.Hamas is considered a terrorist organisation by Western powers.
Haniya's visit does not sit well with representatives of the Palestinian Authority led by president Mahmud Abbas. One source told AFP: The Palestinians are furious.Jews in Tunisia asked the government earlier Sunday to take steps to avoid a repeat of anti-Semitic slogans chanted during the Hamas leader's visit.No Tunisian should be insulted, and the government must take measures to ensure this incident is never repeated, Peres Trabelsi, a representative of Tunisia's small Jewish population, told AFP after the incident.And the chief rabbi of Tunis, Haim Bittan, said: Certain members of the community were frightened after this incident, but you have to make a distinction between the situation in the Middle East and here.Islamist activists welcoming Haniya were heard chanting slogans like: Kill the Jews, it is our duty, along with anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian messages.There are no Zionists in Tunisia and we don't want to be mixed into the problems of the Middle East,said Trabelsi.Tunisia is our country.Tunisia has one of the Arab world's largest Jewish minorities, numbering about 1,500 individuals in a population of more than 10 million.The population has shrunk drastically from the 100,000 Jews who lived in Tunisia after independence in 1956.Ajmi Lourimi, a member of the moderate Islamist Ennahda party, said the slogans were an isolated incident that did not reflect the views of the government.Ennahda last month said Jews living in the north African country were citizens with all their rights and duties.Those comments came in response an invitation by Israel's Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom for Tunisian Jews to settle in Israel.Asked about the anti-Semitic slogans, Haniya told AFP: We are not against the Jews because they are Jews. Our problem is with those who occupy the land of Palestine.The Jews are all over the world and Hamas is not targeting them,he added, speaking from the airport.
