ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people (ISRAEL) and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.(JERUSALEM)(WW3 STARTS BECAUSE JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED AND ISRAELIS UPROOTED FROM THEIR GOD GIVIN LAND BRINGS 3 DEAD BILLION IN WW3)
ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)
ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

EZEKIEL 7:19

Barroso in Palestine: 'We are laying foundations of future state'
Today @ 09:21 JULY 9,12
BRUSSELS - European Commission chief
Jose Manuel Barroso has pledged support for a future Palestinian state
on his first official trip to the region.Speaking alongside Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in
Ramallah on Sunday (8 July) he said that "through our ... political and
financial support we are laying the foundations of a future democratic
and viable Palestinian state – its institutions and its infrastructure."He voiced "concern" about "the continuous growth of [Irsaeli] settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem."He also "welcomed" the prospect of a unity government between the
more moderate Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and the militant
Hamas group in Gaza, which is listed as a terrorist entity by EU
countries.In a second speech in Palestinian-controlled Jericho later the same
day, he urged the Palestinian side to "uphold ... the right to peaceful
protest and demonstration, the freedom of expression and of the media,
as well as the proper treatment of arrested persons and of detainees."
The EU has paid out €4 billion in aid to Palestinian authorities since 2000.On Sunday, Barroso announced a new €20 million grant to help with police and judicial training and cut the ribbon on an EU-co-financed Palestine College for Police Sciences.He also met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and is due to meet Israeli leaders on Monday.Peace talks between the two sides have stalled, with Ramallah-based EU diplomats repeatedly warning that Israeli settler expansion is making a future two-state solution impossible in practice.Meanwhile, fellow Arab countries have failed to pay out on previous promises of aid for Palestinian state-building.Fayyad and Abbas both warned that the shortfall in payments could create a crisis in terms of day-to-day governance."We have been honouring our commitments even in times of economic turbulence. We call also on other donors, especially donors in the region, to do the same," Barroso noted in Jericho.

We call also on other donors, especially donors in the region, to do the same," Barroso noted in Jericho.
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso called on Sunday for a return to Israeli-Palestinian talks, warning the peace process must not become "an orphan of the Arab Spring."Barroso made the remarks during the first day of a trip to the West Bank, where he met Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas."The momentous change that we are witnessing throughout the Arab
world should constitute an incitement and not a deterrent to the
resumption of negotiations," he said after meeting Fayyad, according to
an advance copy of his remarks."The Middle East peace process cannot become an orphan of the Arab Spring."Direct negotiations between Israel
and the Palestinians have been on hold since late September 2010, and
efforts by the peacemaking Quartet -- which groups the EU, United
Nations, United States and Russia -- have had little success.Barroso urged continued peacemaking efforts and said it was
"important that the two parties do not act in a way that undermines the
viability of a two-state solution.""In this respect it is with concern that we see the continuous growth
of settlements in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem."On Sunday evening, Barroso met with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas for talks that also focused on the peace process.In comments to the press after the meeting, Abbas repeated
Palestinian demands that Israel halt settlement activity and agree to
base border negotiations on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six
Day War.He also called on Israel to release dozens of Palestinian prisoners
held in Israeli jails since before the signing of the Oslo Accords in
1994, reiterating that the release could lead to a "dialogue" that would
fall short of negotiations."We know that we cannot reach a solution outside of the framework of negotiations," he said.Barroso's talks with Fayyad and Abbas also touched on a burgeoning
financial crisis that has left the Palestinian Authority that governs
the West Bank unable to pay salaries.
Fayyad said Sunday that the current fiscal crunch "is serious, very serious. It's in the running for the worst financial crisis" faced by the PA.The shortfall is the result of a gap between pledged and delivered donor funds, with Arab nations in particular failing to transfer promised money.Abbas said he discussed the "difficult economic and financial situation" with Barroso, but stopped short of saying whether he had asked the EU to stump up additional funds.Attempts by Abbas's Fatah movement and the rival Hamas group to reconcile were also on the agenda in Barroso's talks with both Palestinian officials.The EU commission chief said after meeting Fayyad that the efforts were "a key factor contributing to the unity of a future Palestinian state and to reaching the two-state solution."And he said that new elections, which are called for under the reconciliation deal signed last year but have been delayed, would constitute "a significant contribution to Palestinian state-building."Fatah and Hamas officials have held several rounds of talks in Cairo and Doha since signing the reconciliation deal in a bid to chart a path to implementation.But they have continued to disagree over the formation of an interim government and elections remain on hold, with Hamas last week announcing it was suspending voter registration by the Central Elections Commission.Abbas said on Sunday that the suspension "cripples the reconciliation process that was agreed in Doha and Cairo."Barroso is scheduled to meet on Monday with Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres.
Their talks are expected to focus on the peace process but also efforts to curb Iran's nuclear programme, which Israel says poses an existential threat to the Jewish state.EU officials said Barroso will also discuss with both Israel and the Palestinians the ongoing violence in Syria, where an uprising has been met with brutal repression and where observers fear the unfolding of a protracted civil war.

JERUSALEM
(Reuters) - A government-appointed committee proposed on Monday
granting official status to dozens of unauthorized settler outposts in
the West Bank and challenged the world view that Israeli settlement there is illegal.The non-binding legal opinion, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
had sought, could be used by the right-wing leader to address criticism
at home and abroad of his declared plans to build more homes for Jews
on land Palestinians want for a state.Three months ago,
his governing coalition drew Palestinian and international condemnation
when it retroactively legalized three West Bank outposts built without official sanction.But the panel, chaired by a former Israeli Supreme Court justice who has written pro-settlement opinions from the bench, reaffirmed Israel's long-held view that the West Bank is not occupied territory and settling Jews there is legal.The opinion, yet to be formally accepted by the government, flew in the face of the World Court ruling that all settlements are illegal because of their location on occupied land.The Israeli committee disputed that ruling, arguing
Israel's control of the West Bank does not constitute occupation as no
country was sovereign over the territory when it was captured from
Jordan in a 1967 war."Therefore, according to international law, Israelis
have the legal right to settle in Judea and Samaria and the
establishment of settlements cannot, in and of itself, be considered to
be illegal," it said, using the Biblical names for the West Bank.Jordan captured the West Bank, which had been part of
British-mandated Palestine, in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and annexed it
in a move that never won international recognition.Israel has built some 120 settlements in the West Bank. Dozens of unauthorized outposts, which past Israeli governments had pledged to remove, have also gone up in the territory.Palestinians say the enclaves will deny them a viable
and contiguous state, a view that has won wide international support.
Addressing the issue of unsanctioned settlement
outposts, the committee echoed a 2005 government report in determining
they had been established "with the knowledge, encouragement and tacit
agreement of the most senior political level".But unlike the 2005 document, which said quiet
government support and funding for unauthorized settlements were
illegal, the new report recommended expanding them.The time had come, it said, to complete formal
"planning and zoning procedures" and set the "municipal jurisdiction" of
each outpost, taking into consideration their growing populations."Pending completion of those proceedings and
examination of the possibility of granting valid building permits, the
state is advised to avoid carrying out demolition orders," the panel
said.Yariv Oppenheimer
of the anti-settlement group Peace Now said the panel had "delivered the
goods" for the Israeli right."The legal world is
a wonderful one, just choose a position and you will always be able to
find a legal expert who can defend it," he said on Army Radio. "The
committee has forgotten that there are 2.5 million stateless
Palestinians under Israeli military rule."(Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Big banks: From Greek bailout to Hamlet's castle
Today @ 07:46 JULY 9,12
COPENHAGEN, ELSINORE - Two years ago,
German Chancellor Angela Merkel wanted something that sounded quite
reasonable. Instead of having European taxpayers foot the bill of a
Greek bailout, why not make the banks help pay for it? They were after all equally to blame for the bankruptcy Athens was
facing. Goldman Sachs, the US investment bank giant, had for years sold
so-called credit default swaps to the Greek government. This allowed the
Hellenic government to hide its real deficit.So in October 2010, at a meeting in Deauville, Merkel and French
President Nicolas Sarkozy decided that "Private Sector Involvement"
(PSI) would be imperative for any further bailouts.Athens had already received a €110 billion earlier that year via
bilateral loans from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund,
but it became increasingly evident that more was needed.Cue the bankers. Josef Ackermann, head of Germany's biggest bank,
Deutsche Bank, was at the time head of the International Institute of
Finance (IIF), the powerful lobby group representing over 400 of the
world's biggest banks. Merkel had already dealt with him in the previous
two years, when some German banks had to be bailed out.Deutsche Bank itself had, under his leadership, taken up much more
riskier activities and had been part of the investment frenzy
speculating on the American real estate market and packaging the risk
related to bad loans as top-rated products. These were then sold to
regional banks in Germany.Ackerman said he was "sceptical and reluctant" about accepting a deal
with governments on a 'voluntary' debt restructuring for Greece as the
German government envisaged.
Talking to his peers at his farewell party in June, Ackermann said he only agreed to start negotiation with the Greeks because his American deputy Charles Dallara, "convinced me that it's a fantastic platform in order to strengthen the IIF contribution to the most urgent, most complex and most challenging task in Europe."
Another of his deputies, Hung Tran, told this website that the initial work after the Merkel-Sarkozy decision was for the IIF to try and convince EU leaders to drop it."We went to Paris, to Brussels, to Berlin to explain that it was not a very good decision. However, since they already took that decision, they should do it in a cooperative way, abiding by the IIF principles: to have good faith negotiations with the sovereign debtor on a transparent basis, sharing enough information and equal treatment of creditors."It took another year until PSI talks on Greece actually started."Negotiations took a long time and the economic conditions of the country continued to worsen. Therefore when the agreement came and the exchange was done, it involved a very significant haircut. But in the end, 83 percent of bondholders accepted the government's offer," Tran recalls.
As for public disappointment in Greece that the PSI deal and the €130 billion bailout focus too much on the banks and too little on the real economy, where hospitals have run out of money to pay for medicines, the IIF deputy said:"The debt restructuring is a sacrifice on the part of investors, with bondholders losing more than half of the face value of the bond. I don't think any debtor country should complain about that."
"The idea of subjecting the sovereign debt of a European country to credit risk is really not a good idea. The fallout of that will continue to be with us for many years to come. Particularly in this case of Greece, given the circumstances, I think it was worth it and a positive contribution to eventually a resolution of the crisis," he argues.But Kenneth Haar from Corporate Europe Observatory, a transparency watchdog following IIF's dealings in Greece, thinks differently. "If the banks had gone to the markets and sold off the Greek bonds, they would have received much less. In the end it was very much a deal in their favour."As for burying the PSI idea after the Greek experiment, Haar argues it sends the wrong signal. "What it all comes down to is the irresponsibility of banks. Now they are guaranteed that governments will come to their rescue if they engage in speculation. It is a bad thing to say no to haircuts."
Talking to his peers at his farewell party in June, Ackermann said he only agreed to start negotiation with the Greeks because his American deputy Charles Dallara, "convinced me that it's a fantastic platform in order to strengthen the IIF contribution to the most urgent, most complex and most challenging task in Europe."
Another of his deputies, Hung Tran, told this website that the initial work after the Merkel-Sarkozy decision was for the IIF to try and convince EU leaders to drop it."We went to Paris, to Brussels, to Berlin to explain that it was not a very good decision. However, since they already took that decision, they should do it in a cooperative way, abiding by the IIF principles: to have good faith negotiations with the sovereign debtor on a transparent basis, sharing enough information and equal treatment of creditors."It took another year until PSI talks on Greece actually started."Negotiations took a long time and the economic conditions of the country continued to worsen. Therefore when the agreement came and the exchange was done, it involved a very significant haircut. But in the end, 83 percent of bondholders accepted the government's offer," Tran recalls.
As for public disappointment in Greece that the PSI deal and the €130 billion bailout focus too much on the banks and too little on the real economy, where hospitals have run out of money to pay for medicines, the IIF deputy said:"The debt restructuring is a sacrifice on the part of investors, with bondholders losing more than half of the face value of the bond. I don't think any debtor country should complain about that."
No more losses for banks
Meanwhile, the other Merkel-Sarkozy decision - to establish a permanent bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism - was subsequently heavily influenced by the IIF.Greece, it was decided, would be a one-off. EU leaders in December 2011 stated that private creditors would never again take a loss in any future bailouts.The ultimate bill for the banks' losses in Greece - passed on from the banks, insurance companies and pension funds that held Greek bonds - is paid by the average citizen, in higher interest rates on their loans and mortgages."At the end of the day, the citizens in Europe are the ones paying," Tran admits."The idea of subjecting the sovereign debt of a European country to credit risk is really not a good idea. The fallout of that will continue to be with us for many years to come. Particularly in this case of Greece, given the circumstances, I think it was worth it and a positive contribution to eventually a resolution of the crisis," he argues.But Kenneth Haar from Corporate Europe Observatory, a transparency watchdog following IIF's dealings in Greece, thinks differently. "If the banks had gone to the markets and sold off the Greek bonds, they would have received much less. In the end it was very much a deal in their favour."As for burying the PSI idea after the Greek experiment, Haar argues it sends the wrong signal. "What it all comes down to is the irresponsibility of banks. Now they are guaranteed that governments will come to their rescue if they engage in speculation. It is a bad thing to say no to haircuts."
Party in Hamlet's castle
The farewell party the IIF threw in June to honour its outgoing chief, Josef Ackermann, served to underline how well the banks are doing. Some 500 guests were shuttled in buses from Copenhagen, where the IIF spring meeting was being held, to Elsinore castle - an hour's drive up north.Just renting the Hamlet castle cost some €40,000. Catering, transport and the fees for Alyson Cambridge, a soprano from the Metropolitan opera in New York - Ackermann being a big opera fan - as well as for a painter to have made his portrait - added several more tens of thousands of euros to the bill."This was a special event, paying tribute to an outgoing chairman. It is not extravagant," Abdessatar Ouanes, IIF's event manager told this website. He added that being state-owned property, the Hamlet castle was "not particularly exorbitant."Part of the four-hour long dinner were video testimonials from high level politicians praising Ackermann's work. EU economics commissioner Olli Rehn said he had been "instrumental in restoring the confidence of the financial sector."International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde said he was a "great friend and a great dancer" whom she always respected, "even if not always of the same opinion."And the head of the Paris-based OECD - a club of the most developed economies - said Ackermann was a "statesman, politician and banker."Pictures showing him talking to Angela Merkel, to Russian President Vladimir Putin or to Saudi royals were projected onto the walls of the castle rooms where the guests were dining."We need weavers like Joe between politics and economics," said Charles Dallara, the outgoing IIF managing director. He recalled that the Swiss banker had been "always available," even when in Moscow and having to pick up the phone at 3am when Dallara and EU politicians were cobbling together the last details of the Greek bailout.Influencing politics
As for Ackermann, he said it was perhaps a good time to step down. He also left Deutsche Bank to return to a Swiss outfit, Zurich insurance company. His successor at the helm of the IIF is British banker Douglas Flint, the boss of HSBC, the world's second largest bank.Speaking from a podium displaying his own portrait, Ackermann said he was proud to have boosted the profile of the IIF. "We have seized the opportunity of the crisis. The IIF became a body between the public and private sector."Democratic legitimacy was never mentioned. Neither the fact that when seeking the banks' advice, governments were mostly betraying the public interest.But in an ARD documentary produced in November 2011, Ackermann admitted that he had "told Merkel several times that I could not give advice against the interests of my shareholders." He also said it was "out of the question" that banks put the public interest first."What we need to think about are our global customers and shareholders. Politicians have to think first and foremost about their voters in their constituency. That is the clear difference between political and economic thinking," he told the German TV crew.And that same interest prevails when it comes to regulation aimed at making banks more solid and deterring them from the 'casino mentality' that led to the 2008 financial crisis.Banks in continental Europe, including Deutsche Bank, continue to hold very few real assets - cash, buildings - and take on risky bets. In their balance sheets, these appear as solid because they are secured via so-called credit default swaps, a form of privately-traded insurances.Yet as was the case before the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, EU regulators still have no clear picture on the amount of these insurances and whether they are worth what they promise.In 2008, America's insurance giant AIG had to be bailed out with €144 billion worth of taxpayers' money to cover for insurances linked to real estate mortgages gone bad. Deutsche Bank received over €9 billion, and so did France's Societe Generale."At the moment banking legislation goes very much along the lines of what banks are saying. There is no real political will there to change things fundamentally. And this is because of the strong tight relationships between people in power and bank lobby groups," Kenneth Haar from Corporate Europe Observatory concludes.Eurozone ministers to flesh out EU summit promises
Today @ 09:28 JULY 9,12
BRUSSELS - Eurozone finance ministers
gather in Brussels on Monday evening (9 July) to try to firm up
political promises made at last month's summit, even as member states
trade barbs about the nature of the euro-saving deal.The meeting comes just 10 days after EU leaders made what was judged
at the time as significant progress towards shoring up the euro, by
agreeing to allow eurozone aid to flow directly to troubled banks and to
give the European Central Bank a supervisory role in the euro area.But the gloss came off the deal soon afterwards as markets digested
the complexities involved in getting to direct bank recapitisation and
as Finland and the Netherlands cast doubts on key aspects of the
agreement.
The doubts have seen Spain and Italy's borrowing costs once again soar to almost unsustainable levels."It's time to go from words to deeds. Europe must comply as quickly as possible with the agreements its leaders reached in Brussels. The European project is at stake," said Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Saturday announced, while announcing extra deficit-cutting measures.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mario Monti rebuked Helsinki and The Hague for causing confusion."We don't undo unilaterally what we laboriously put together collectively," he said while visiting France on Sunday."Spreads have widened again because of several factors. I believe this includes some comments which I personally think are inappropriate from political authorities, notably from Nordic countries."With the June summit deal leaving many details unclear and finance ministers having to fill in the blanks while taking into account the conflicting interests of the biggest eurozone states, there is already talk of another meeting on 20 July.A key open question is whether individual countries or the eurozone will take on liability for banks which are rescued by the bailout fund.There is a stack of other issues to deal with on Monday as well.Ministers will discuss whether twice-bailed-out Greece is on track with its reform programme. Its next tranche of money depends on whether its eurozone partners consider it is carrying out enough reforms.Details of the Spanish bank bailout and of Cyprus' request for a rescue package are also expected to be discussed.EU and International Monetary Fund officials visited the island last week to look over its books. The analysis will determine the size of the loan and the reform conditions attached to it. Nicosia's low corporate tax rate and wage indexation - both of which it is keen to keep - are set to be among the biggest discussion points.There may also be a debate on who should succeed eurozone chief Jean-Claude Juncker due to step down on 17 July.Juncker has indicated several times that this is his last term, but finding a replacement suitable to all eurozone heads has proved difficult.Der Spiegel reported over the weekend that the Luxembourg leader may be replaced by German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble in 2013 and his French counterpart, Pierre Moscovici, the following year."I don't know where this rumour came from, but for now it is not on the cards," said Moscovici.

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses,(ISRAELS ARMY) at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;(ISRAEL POSSIBLY NUKES GAZA)
4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines,(PALESTINIAN FAKE ARABS) and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza;(NUKED POSSIBLY) Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? (MEDITTERANEAN SEA) there hath he appointed it.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's
parliamentary speaker said the chamber would reconvene on Tuesday,
risking a showdown with the army after the new, Islamist president
defied the generals by quashing the dissolution of the legislature they
had ordered last month.Quoted by the state news agency on Monday, Saad al-Katatni, who like President Mohamed Mursi hails from the long-suppressed Muslim Brotherhood,
said the lower house would sit from noon (0600 EDT) on Tuesday,
overturning a court judgment and military order issued a month ago,
before Mursi's election.The move, heralded
by a decree issued by Mursi on Sunday, barely a week after he took
office, threatens Egypt with fresh political uncertainty likely to take a
toll on a fragile economy and dash the hopes of many desperate for a
period of calm after 17 turbulent months since the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.However, in a signal that relations have far from
broken down between Mursi and the army, the president and the head of
the military council appeared together, looking relaxed and in
conversation, at a televised event on Monday morning.The military council which had run Egypt since Mubarak
was toppled by popular protests in February 2011 handed powers to Mursi
on June 30, but it had sought to trim his authority shortly before he
took office following a June 16-17 vote. It had dissolved parliament and
taken legislative power for itself.Yet in a move that seemed to take even the generals by
surprise, Mursi said on Sunday he was recalling parliament and would
hold an election once a constitution was in place, meaning the
parliament would not serve a full four-year term.The row is part of a broader power struggle which could
take years to play out, pitting long suppressed Islamists against
generals whose fellow officers ran Egypt for six decades and an
establishment still packed with Mubarak-era officials.
But the immediate impact may be to make it more difficult for the president to stabilize an economy fast heading towards a balance of payments and budget crisis. The stock market reacted to Sunday's news by plunging more than 5 percent at the open."Early confrontation," wrote Al-Akhbar newspaper, summing up a decision which could end a brief honeymoon with the military council, led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.
Yet Mursi and Tantawi showed no hint of discord on Monday when the president, as he did last week, attended a military parade. Seated next to each other, Mursi and Tantawi turned to each other in a brief jovial exchange, live television images showed.And in a possible signal that the generals would not openly challenge Mursi, the state news agency reported that guards at parliament allowed some members back into the building after it had been declared off limits when the army ordered it dissolved.Some analysts said Mursi's decision to order early elections could offer a compromise by acknowledging the court's assertion that the election to the chamber breached some legal rules.But even if the army does not seek an open row, Mursi could be setting himself on a course for confrontation with liberal and other politicians and the judiciary."The decree is overturning a state where the rule of law reins. I advise you, Mr. President, to withdraw it because you swore to respect the law and the constitution," said Egyptian rights activist Hafez Abu Saeda, writing on Twitter.

ECONOMIC CRISIS

I advise you, Mr. President, to withdraw it because you swore to respect the law and the constitution," said Egyptian rights activist Hafez Abu Saeda, writing on Twitter.
LEGAL QUESTIONS
"The president cancels the decision of the field
marshal," wrote the daily Al Masry Al Youm, while Al Mal business daily
carried the banner headline: "Back to your barracks."The generals met late on Sunday to discuss Mursi's decree but did not release a statement. The Supreme Constitutional Court, which on June 14 ordered the lower house of parliament dissolved, said it would meet on Monday to review the move.
Farouk Soltan, who headed the court when it dismissed
the parliament citing flaws in the election rules, said Mursi's decision
had no legal basis. Soltan had administered the oath of office to Mursi
on June 30, before his term on the court ended.Though some officials in Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood had
indicated that they interpreted the current, interim rules as giving
the president the legal authority to recall parliament, analysts had
expected the president to take a more cautious approach to avoid a
head-on clash.The military council has less formal room for maneuver
now that it has transferred presidential powers to Mursi, so the public
drama may play out in prolonged wrangling in the courts."I am not sure that power struggles played out in the
legal sphere, and which add to the legal uncertainty of the past year
and a half are healthy - either for us or the rule of law," said Heba
Morayef of Human Rights Watch.Mursi, however, is in a position unthinkable a year and
half ago, when the Brotherhood was still banned and its members hounded
by Mubarak - even if the army has stripped his presidency of some of
the authority the office enjoyed under Mubarak, such as being supreme
commander of the armed forces.ECONOMIC CRISIS
In one of his most high-profile meetings since taking
office, Mursi met U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns at the
presidential palace on Sunday, signaling the new ties Washington is
forging with resurgent Islamists in the region.Burns pledged that the United States, which grants the
Egyptian armed forces $1.3 billion a year in military aid, would support
Egypt's economy, which has been hemorrhaging cash and is heading for a
balance of payments and budget crisis.Once a darling of emerging market fund managers, Egypt
has watched foreign investors flee and its vital tourist trade has taken
a big knock from the turmoil of the last year and a half.Foreign reserves have plunged to about $15.5 billion,
less than half their level before anti-Mubarak protests erupted, and the
government has been forced to pay double-digit interest rates, seen as
unsustainable, to fund its spending."Already domestic financing has reached a critical
stage where you can't rely totally on the market anymore," said one
Western diplomat. The government was running up payment arrears with
energy suppliers and raising funds from the central bank, the diplomat
noted - tactics sustainable only for a short time.Adding to the murky outlook that is unsettling
investors, legal wrangling looks set to continue. Following the judges'
dissolution of parliament and scrapping of a constitutional drafting
panel appointed by parliament, further challenges in the courts could
yet derail a second drafting panel.As well as facing scrutiny by the Supreme
Constitutional Court, Mursi's decision to recall parliament may also be
challenged by rivals in the courts. Lawyer and liberal member of
parliament Abul Ezz el-Hariry told Reuters he would file a suit on
Monday. Hariry was a presidential candidate who fell out of the race in
the first round.(Additional reporting by Marwa Awad and Dina Zayed; Writing by Edmund Blair; Editing by Alastair Macdonald)
DAMASCUS, Syria
- In a show of force, Syria began large-scale military exercises Sunday
to simulate defending the country against outside "aggression." Damascus' staunch ally Iran warned of a "catastrophe" in the region if no political solution to the 16-month-old Syrian conflict is found.Tehran is Syria's closest ally, and has stood by President Bashar Assad's
regime throughout the revolt against his rule despite a growing chorus
of international condemnation. The relentless bloodshed has accelerated
diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the crisis, and spurred some in
the Syrian opposition to urge the West to intervene militarily to stop a
conflict that activists say has left more than 14,000 people dead.Iran's deputy foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian,
dismissed talk of foreign intervention, saying "nobody can imagine a
military attack against Syria. We believe it will not happen. If it
happens, Syria will defend itself and will not need help from Iran."U.N.
special envoy Kofi Annan, who is the architect of an international plan
to end the crisis, acknowledged in an interview published Saturday that
the international community's efforts to find a political solution to
the escalating violence in Syria have failed. Annan arrived in the
Syrian capital Sunday for talks with Assad, his spokesman Ahmad Fawzi
said.The West is reluctant to intervene in Syria in part because
unlike the military intervention that helped bring down Moammar Gadhafi
in Libya, the Syrian conflict has the potential to quickly escalate.
Damascus has a web of allegiances to powerful forces including Shiite
powerhouse Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah and there are concerns that a
military campaign could pull them into a wider conflagration."Some
tried to portray the Syrian president as just another aggressor. Some
tried to impose a no-fly zone. We must say that Syria is different from
Libya," Abdollahian said. He declined to elaborate, but added: "there will be a catastrophe in the region, if there's no political solution there."Any
outside intervention would also likely face strong opposition from
Syrian ally Russia, as well as China, who have already shielded Damascus
from diplomatic efforts to pressure the regime.Speaking to reporters in Amman, Jordan,
Abdollahian dismissed questions about whether Iran would host Assad if
he were to leave Syria, saying the issue of Assad fleeing his country
and seeking refuge elsewhere is "a joke.""He is following up on
the situation in Syria. The Syrian people will decide their fate until
another president is elected in 2014," he said.Assad said in
comments published Sunday that he will not step down "in the face of
national challenges." He spoke in a television interview with German
public broadcaster ARD, which released his comments translated into
German on Sunday ahead of the full interview's broadcasting.Assad
he also accused the United States of fueling the revolt against him by
partnering with "terrorists ... with weapons, money or public and
political support at the United Nations."The regime frequently uses the term "terrorists" to refer to Syrians seeking to topple Assad.The Syrian military
manoeuvrs began Saturday with naval forces in a scenario where they
repelled an attack from the sea, and will include air and ground forces
over the next few days, the state-run SANA news agency said. State TV
broadcast footage of missiles being fired from launch vehicles and
warships — an apparent warning to other countries not to intervene in
the country's crisis.Syrian Defence Minister Dawood Rajiha
attended the manoeuvrs and praised the "exceptional performance" of the
naval forces which showed "a high level of combat training and ability
to defend Syria's shores against any possible aggression.""The
navy carried out the training successfully, repelling the hypothetical
attack and striking at given targets with high precision," the report
said.The manoeuvrs are the second to be carried out by the Syrian military since the uprising began 16 months ago.Annan
said Saturday that the international community's efforts to find a
political solution to the escalating violence in Syria have failed."The evidence shows that we have not succeeded," he told the French daily Le Monde.Annan,
the special envoy for the United Nations and the Arab League, is the
architect of the most prominent international plan to end the crisis in
Syria.His six-point plan was to begin with a cease-fire in
mid-April between government forces and rebels seeking to topple Assad.
But the truce never took hold, and now the almost 300 U.N. observers
sent to monitor the cease-fire are confined to their hotels because of
the escalating violence.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton said Sunday that time is running out on Syrian peace hopes and
warned that the Syrian state could collapse.Speaking in Japan, Clinton said Annan's acknowledgement that his peace plan is failing "should be a wake-up call for everyone."She
said last month was the deadliest for the Syrian people since the
revolt began in March 2011, but added that the opposition "is getting
more effective in defence of themselves and going on the offensive
against the Syrian military."

BEIRUT (AP) — International envoy Kofi Annan says he has agreed with President Bashar Assad on an approach to end the violence in Syria.Annan did not disclose details, but says he will also discuss it with the country's armed opposition.Annan
spoke to reporters in the Syrian capital Monday following a two-hour
meeting with Assad in a last-ditch attempt to salvage a peace effort.Annan
is the architect of an international plan to end Syria's 16-month old
crisis which started with largely peaceful protests calling for reforms
but has transformed into a bloody insurgency to topple Assad.The
former U.N. secretary-general acknowledged in a recent interview that
the international community's efforts to find a political solution to
the escalating violence in Syria have failed.
Russia: EU action on Magnitsky would 'poison' relations
06.07.12 @ 17:10
BRUSSELS - Russia's EU ambassador has
said ties would suffer if member states follow the US in putting
sanctions on suspected Russian killers and fraudsters."It would poison relations, definitely," Vladimir Chizhov told EUobserver in an interview.He added: "Well, I am sure that reason will prevail in the European
Union. I have more confidence in the EU than I have in the US Congress."The Congress' international committee in June approved the so-called Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act.If it becomes law, the US will impose visa bans and asset freezes on
60-or-so Russian officials suspected of conspiracy to murder Sergei
Magnitsky - an auditor who exposed tax fraud in the Kremlin and who was
found beaten to death in prison in 2009.Chizhov said that he is "not threatening anybody."But he noted that Russia might impose counter-sanctions on US officials if the Magnitsky bill gets through."The Russian Duma could launch a piece of legislation called the
Guantanamo act or the Abu Ghraib act," he said, referring to US human
rights violations in Cuba and Iraq.EU foreign ministries do not want to confront Moscow for the sake of
Magnitsky. But the case is attracting ever more political attention.German Green MPs last week joined MEPs and MPs from Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK in calling for sanctions.EU Council head Herman Van Rompuy and foreign affairs chief Catherine
Ashton in April also urged Russia to hold a credible investigation.
Russia in the next few weeks is to say if a prison doctor is guilty of mis-diagnosing Magnitsky's medical condition.But for Bill Browder, a British venture capitalist who employed Magnitsky at the time of his death, the doctor is being scapegoated to get senior people off the hook.Browder has published evidence showing that one Kremlin tax chief, Olga Stepanova - among others - funnelled millions of euros of stolen money through accounts in Cyprus and Switzerland."Chizhov is a very articulate lobbyist for the rights of 60 Russian torturers and murders to travel and spend their ill-gotten gains in Europe. It is remarkable that he shows no concern for the nearly $800 million that was stolen from the Russian government," he said.Chizhov told EUobserver that a second probe, by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, is looking at potential Kremlin tax fraud.When asked when it will submit its findings, he said it is too "complicated" to call.
When asked if Stepanova is under any kind of investigation, he said he would disclose the names of the officials being questioned.His office later told EUobserver this will be "impossible," however.

KRYMSK, Russia (Reuters) - Russia's emergencies minister accused local officials on Monday of not doing enough to prevent 171 deaths in weekend floods that raised new doubts about the country's readiness for natural disasters under President Vladimir Putin.Putin declared a day of national mourning on Monday and relatives were preparing to bury their dead in Krymsk,
the southern mountain town that was worst hit by floods that caught
many of the victims unawares as they slept on Friday night.Refrigerated trucks held the discolored bodies of some
of the victims behind a hospital in Krymsk, where survivors gathered to
identify the last of the dead.Postmen in the badly damaged town of 57,000 people went
from house to house, handing out sums of 10,000 roubles ($300), with
the promise of more compensation to come. Many people were salvaging
what they could from their sodden homes."Nothing is left. We are like tramps," said Ovsen
Torosyan, 30. "I bought all the furniture and electrical goods on credit
and still have to finish paying for them but they have all gone."Putin, who was criticized for responding too slowly to
national disasters early in his first spell as president, quickly flew
to Krymsk on Saturday to show he was in control and ordered an inquiry
into the high death toll.Some residents say the wall of water that swept through
Krymsk was so high that the gates of a nearby reservoir must have been
opened.Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov has dismissed
these suggestions but he said mistakes were made in failing to ensure
residents were warned quickly enough. A criminal investigation has been
launched."According to a preliminary appraisal, warnings were
made but unfortunately not all the work was carried out properly.
Mistakes were allowed by local leaders and various services," he said in
televised comments."Not all the population was warned in time," he said.
SCREAMING FOR HELP
Residents said the floods upended trees and drowned livestock, lifting the carcasses and carrying them on the waters rushing through city streets. Officials said they were collecting animal corpses and destroying them to prevent disease from spreading in the aftermath of the floods."We were barely able to get out of our house and started screaming down the street for help. But we weren't able to save our things. We saw the water carry away the roof of our house," said one woman wearing a dirty pink shirt standing outside of the muddied ruins of her home.In nearby municipal buildings, survivors who had lost their belongings picked through heaps of clothing - donations from nearby cities. Outside dozens of white tents were set up in a large camp for flood victims who had lost their homes.Analysts and trade sources said they did not expect any impact on Russia's grain and oilseed harvest, although damage to the roads and railways could delay new grain deliveries to port.The floods followed more than a month of heavy rainfall in the relatively wealthy southern "breadbasket" region of Krasnodar, where agriculture and tourism thrive.Officials, who raised the death toll to 171 late on Sunday, were expecting more rains in the Krasnodar region on Monday although it was sunny and hot in Krymsk.Torrential rain, equivalent to a third of the annual average rainfall in some places, temporarily paralyzed transport and briefly halted exports from the port of Novorossiisk, Russia's biggest commercial port.The port was returning to normal operations, and the railway was operating normally again for passengers, but a railway spokesman said some freight traffic had been halted because of flood damage.
PUTIN TRIES TO STEM CRITICISM
It was the first major disaster in Russia since Putin returned to the Kremlin for a third term as president after a four-year interlude as prime minister.The former KGB spy, now 59, has increasingly struggled to project his customary image of mastery since the outbreak of protests against his rule last December.In his 12 years in power, as president and prime minister, Russia has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters that have laid bare a longstanding shortfall in investment and management of Russia's transport and infrastructure.

Social media contained criticism of the state media
coverage which focused as much on Putin's visit to Krymsk as on the
human suffering caused by the floods."The news on Channel One: The floods happened, Putin
arrives in Krymsk, Putin flies in a helicopter, Putin arrives somewhere
else, Putin has a meeting. Putin...," said a tweet by a Russian
identified only as Dalia Roshina.On Saturday, the
president grilled local authorities about residents' complaints that
they were not warned of the impending disaster and fears that water had
flooded down from the nearby Neberdzhayevskoye reservoir.The local officials
rejected that notion, but a Reuters cameraman said that from a
helicopter signs were visible that a large amount of water had escaped
from the reservoir and a pipe was refilling the body of water. ($1 =
