UN calls on Israel to open nuclear facilities

Resolution urges Israel to sign non-proliferation treaty ‘without further delay’

December 4, 2012, 5:56 am 18-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution Monday calling on Israel to quickly open its nuclear program for inspection and backing a high-level conference to ban nuclear weapons from the Middle East which was just canceled.All the Arab nations and Iran had planned to attend the conference in mid-December in Helsinki, Finland, but the United States announced on Nov. 23 that it wouldn’t take place, citing political turmoil in the region and Iran’s defiant stance on nonproliferation. Iran and some Arab nations countered that the real reason for the cancellation was Israel’s refusal to attend.The resolution, approved by a vote of 174-6 with 6 abstentions, calls on Israel to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty “without further delay” and open its nuclear facilities to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Those voting “no” were Israel, the US, Canada, Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.Resolutions adopted by the 193-member General Assembly are not legally binding but they do reflect world opinion and carry moral and political weight.Israel refuses to confirm or deny it has nuclear bombs though it is widely believed to have a nuclear arsenal. It has refused to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, or NPT, along with three nuclear weapon states — India, Pakistan and North Korea.The Arab proposal to create a weapons-of-mass-destruction-free zone in the Mideast, and to pressure Israel to give up its undeclared arsenal of perhaps 80 nuclear warheads, was endorsed at an NPT conference in 1995 but never acted on. In 2010, the 189 parties to the 1970 treaty called for convening a conference in 2012 on the establishment of a WMD-free zone in the Middle East.The resolution, which was approved by the assembly’s disarmament committee before the conference was cancelled, noted the decision to hold it “with satisfaction.”But Israel has long said there first must be a Mideast peace agreement before the establishment of a Mideast zone free of weapons of mass destruction. The region’s Muslim nations argue that Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal presents the greatest threat to peace in the region.

Just before Monday’s vote, Iranian diplomat Khodadad Seifi told the assembly “the truth is that the Israeli regime is the only party which rejected to conditions for a conference.” He called for “strong pressure on that regime to participate in the conference without any preconditions.”Israeli diplomat Isi Yanouka said his country has continuously pointed to the danger of nuclear proliferation in the Mideast, singling out Iran and Syria by name.“All these cases challenge Israel’s security and cast a dark shadow at the prospect of embarking on a meaningful regional security process,” he said.“The fact that the sponsors include in this anti-Israeli resolution language referring to the 2012 conference proves above all the ill-intent of the Arab states with regard to this conference,” Yanouka said.Syrian diplomat Abdullah Hallak told the assembly his government was angry that the conference wasn’t going to take place because of “the whim of just one party, a party with nuclear warheads.”“We call on the international community to put pressure on Israel to accept the NPT, get rid of its arsenal and delivery systems, in order to allow for peace and stability in our region,” he said.The conference’s main sponsors are the US, Russia and Britain. British Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt has said it is being postponed, not cancelled.While the United States voted against the resolution, it voted in favor of two paragraphs in it that were put to separate votes. Both support universal adherence to the NPT, and call on those countries that aren’t parties to ratify it “at the earliest date.” The only “no” votes on those paragraphs were Israel and India.

Video: Bolton Blames Obama for PA Success at UN

Former ambassador John Bolton blamed Obama administration for UN decision to grant PA upgraded status.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 12/4/2012, 4:59 PM-INN

UN vote-Reuters

Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton blamed the Obama administration for the U.N.’s decision last week to grant the Palestinian Authority upgraded states as a non-member observer state.“This is a reflection of an ongoing failure by the Obama administration to take this issue seriously,” Bolton told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren Thursday night.  While the current U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, opposed the initiative, Bolton said the president should have taken decisive steps in October to block the impending move."Palestine is not a state," Bolton said. "That's a fact. And when the U.N. engages in this kind of activity, it just shows a real lack of administration commitment to stop it from happening."Bolton said the Obama administration should have followed the model set by former President George H.W. Bush, and then-Secretary of State James Baker, 20 years ago in blocking a similar initiative to upgrade the Palestine Liberation Organization’s status from an “entity” to a “non-member state,” the same status held by the Vatican.“We’ve been through this before. We did this 20 years ago and defeated the Palestinians,” Bolton said, according to a transcript provided by Newsmax.“And this is how we did it. Secretary of State Jim Baker issued a statement saying he would recommend to the president that the United States make no further contributions, voluntary or assessed, to any international organization which makes any change in the PLO’s status as an observer organization.”“If the administration had simply done what Jim Baker did 20 years ago, this thing would have been deader than a doornail,” Bolton added.The former ambassador concluded by warning that Israel should seriously prepare for subsequent PA efforts to charge Israel with “war crimes” and other grievances at the International Criminal Court and other such bodies, as the upgraded status allows.Bolton’s remarks came prior to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s decision to approve 3,000 additional Jewish homes in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, including the disputed 5 km (3 mi) long area between Jerusalem and the suburb of Maale Adumim known as “E1”.

EU summit to consider 'reform contracts' for all euro states

Today @ 16:26 DEC 4,12 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - Draft ideas ahead of next week's EU leaders summit foresee reform contracts for all euro states, political agreement on a full banking union and, post-2014, a budget for the eurozone.The still-to-be finalised conclusions, seen by EUobserver, envisage progress towards profound economic and monetary union - the lack of which is considered to have led to the eurozone's current crisis - in three phases.
By March next year, EU leaders are supposed to agree the "operational framework" for a single European banking supervisor, the first of three planks necessary for full banking union.The proposed second phase (2013-2014) is where the EU leaders are likely to start haggling over language. It suggests that legislative proposals for a bank resolution directive and an EU-wide deposit guarantee scheme are made.If this passes there will "in essence be political agreement on a full banking union," said one contact.However the contact noted that there is likely to be a north-south divide in the discussions particularly on the deposit scheme as "this is money that will actually be used. It will not be lying around. People will be saying - so where are the weakest banks?'"Another controversial part of the second phase concerns the idea that all eurozone states - regardless of whether they are breaking euro budget deficit rules or not - should be obliged to "enter into individual arrangements of a contractual nature with EU institutions" on reforms they need to make and how they need to make them.Making all 17 euro countries enter these programmes would remove the otherwise potentially "stigmatising" nature of the programme. The idea is strongly promoted by Germany, the biggest contributor to the EU budget and the eurozone bailout funds, as it seeks more binding rules in exchange for its show of "solidarity."The thinking in EU council president Herman Van Rompuy's cabinet is that all euro countries need to undertake reforms, no matter how fiscally prudent they are.If the idea flies, the European Commission will be tasked with making a proposal on "such contractual arrangements" during 2013.
The draft conclusions imply that a possible change to the EU treaty would only come after European parliament elections and a new commission is installed in 2014.In this phase - stage three - member states would aim for a "progressive pooling of economic sovereignty ... as well as reinforced solidarity between member states."This could include a "fiscal capacity" or eurozone budget with a "degree of automatic stabilisation at the European level" meaning a limited form of automatic aid transfers for countries that suddenly find themselves in trouble.By then more and more core decisions would need to be taken at EU level including on national budgets and "enhanced coordination of economic policies" particularly in the areas of taxation and employment.EU leaders are due to debate these pre-cooked conclusions at a two-day summit starting Thursday next week. The conclusions will be accompanied by a short paper presented by Van Rompuy on a "roadmap" to the economic and monetary union (EMU).The EU commission recently published its contribution to the forthcoming Van Rompuy paper in which it outlined similar ideas.Irish EU ambassador Rory Montgomery Friday (30 November) noted that when the commission paper was presented to EU ambassadors last week there was "a lot of discussion around the table" on both the contracts idea and the fiscal capacity."Once you mention money in this town, immediate questions arise," noted Montgomery.These include how much money, how it will be provided, how it will be controlled and who will be entitled to receive it."And then there is the question of whether a budget of this kind would be significant enough to influence reforms in a positive direction," said the ambassador.

ESM bank bailouts will not happen soon, says Schaeuble

03.12.12 @ 20:13 By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble Monday (3 December) reiterated that no bank recapitalisation could take place until the EU's planned banking union is up and running.The move deals a blow to ailing banks hoping for swift capital injections from the European Stability Mechanism.Schaeuble was appearing alongside French Finance minister Pierre Moscovici at a hearing of the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs committee.He said that "recapitalisation of banks by the ESM will not happen next week and is unlikely to happen soon", adding that hopes that banks would have immediate access to emergency funding were "exaggerated expectations".Schaeuble was also at pains to stress that any bank bailouts would be accompanied by strict conditions and would have to be formally applied for by national governments. He also emphasised the need for strict separation between the ECB's new supervisory powers and its role in formulating monetary policy.However, addressing questions by Spanish centre-right deputy Pablo Zalba Bidegain, he acknowledged that "Spain can't wait that long".Earlier the Spanish government submitted a formal request for €39.5 billion of emergency funding to prop up its stricken banking sector. Ireland is among the member states most anxious for the ESM to provide support for Anglo-Irish and the Bank of Ireland, both of which had multi-billion euro lossesThe €500 billion permanent bailout fund came into force in September, and will replace the Luxembourg-based European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF).EU finance ministers are meeting in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss proposals to establish a eurozone banking union. The draft legislation would establish the European Central Bank as a single supervisor of the eurozone banking sector, and is expected to come into force in 2013, with EU leaders recently agreeing that the legal framework should be in place by the end of 2012.Formal negotiations between ministers and MEPs are also set to begin in the coming days after the Economic committee agreed its position on the package last week.Schaeuble's remarks are the latest attempts by the German government to downplay the possibility of widespread bank bailouts from the ESM. Berlin is also anxious to ensure that its regional Ländesbanks are kept out of the scope of supervision.Meanwhile, Moscovici called for new political structures, and possible treaty change, for the eurozone. "We need to look at the role of the executive in the eurozone and a eurozone minister", he said, while also mooting the possibility of creating a committee of MEPs charged with dealing solely with the single currency area.MEPs expressed concern that further integration of the 17 eurozone countries with banking union risks the fragmentation of banking supervision and of the single market.
However, Schaeuble said that the best way to ensure "fair treatment in banking supervision" was for the ten non-euro countries to participate in the banking union.

Spain to get bank bailout next week

Today @ 09:27 DEC 4,12 By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - Eurozone finance ministers agreed Monday (3 December) that €39.5 billion will be paid to prop up Spain's banks.Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Jean Claude Juncker, who chairs the 17 member Eurogroup, stated that Spain had taken steps to fulfil its terms of the bailout."The implementation of the program is well on track, meeting all required conditionality steps as enshrined in the memorandum of understanding," he said."We have also welcomed the decision by the ESM (European Stability Mechanism) board of directors to authorise the first tranche of the programme of up to 39.5 billion (euros). The disbursements will be made in mid next week," Juncker said.The four nationalised Spanish banks will receive €36.97 billion in European aid. Of this, €17.96 billion - will go to Bankia, which holds 10 percent of Spanish savings deposits, while €5.43 billion will be disbursed to Novagalicia, €9.08 billion to CatalunyaCaixa and €4.5 billion to Banco de Valencia.A further €2.5 billion will be paid into Spain's state-backed "bad bank," set up to bear losses, estimated at up to €60 billion, following the collapse of the country's property market.
The loans have a 12.5 year maturity meaning a repayment date of 2025, with Spain obtaining an interest rate averaging at less than 1 percent.Spain's finance minister, Luis De Guindos, welcomed the deal. "We believe these are advantageous conditions, that will help heal, restructure and overcome the problems in the Spanish banking system. It's positive, it's fundamental, it's vital and we won't make the mistakes of the past," he said.
Portugal also received assurances that it would receive €2.5 billion in January as part of its bailout deal."Provided the authorities persevere with strict programme implementation, we reaffirmed our commitment to support Portugal until full market access is regained."Following the conclusion of this review, which we expect shortly, Portugal will receive 2.5 billion (euros) in January -- 2.5 billion that means 1.6 billion from EFSF/ESM and 0.9 billion from the IMF.Juncker indicated that eurogroup talks on emergency funding for Cyprus would continue on 13 December.Meanwhile, speaking after the meeting Juncker revealed that he would stand down as the eurogroup chairman at the end of the month. Juncker, who serves as both the Prime Minister and Finance minister of Luxembourg, has held the post since 2005.Germany's Wolfgang Schaueble and France's Pierre Moscovici are already being touted as the front-runners for the job, although the Germans, through Klaus Regling, who was appointed as director of the ESM, have a senior EU finance post.While Juncker has previously indicated support for Schaueble, he refused to be drawn on the matter. "I don't have to endorse anyone, I asked my colleagues to provide for my successor," he said.

With elections around the corner, is Netanyahu bluffing on E1?

In announcing dramatic settlement expansion, the PM may have brought Israel-Europe relations to a new nadir. But that does not necessarily spell a protracted crisis

By Raphael Ahren December 4, 2012, 1:59 pm 9-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

‘This is a new low in our relation with Europe,” a veteran Israeli diplomatic official told The Times of Israel on Monday evening. “When was the last time five ambassadors were summoned to hear harsh criticism? I don’t remember such a thing ever happening.”The fact that Britain, France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark took the unprecedentedly harsh step of calling in their Israeli ambassadors to rebuke them over Israel’s plans to build 3,000 new homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — and especially in the E1 area east of Jerusalem — undoubtedly signifies a grave diplomatic crisis.But although already strained relationships between foreign leaders and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached a nadir this week, the perception that the Europeans are now Israel’s foes is somewhat exaggerated. The US and Europe indeed worry about Israel’s stated intention to intensify settlement building beyond the Green Line, and are increasingly frustrated with what they perceive as Netanyahu’s drive to torpedo the possibility of a two-state solution. But according to some European diplomats, the world is sure that Netanyahu will not actually go through with the most alarming part of his plan.The international community expresses disappointment and frustration every time Jerusalem announces plans to build Jewish homes beyond the Green Line — in both what Israel says is its sovereign capital Jerusalem, and in the East Bank. And for all the stated dismay over the expansion of East Jerusalem neighborhoods such as Ramat Shlomo in the city’s north, and Har Homa in the capital’s south, the world is particularly worried about Israel’s plans to de-freeze development in the E1 corridor, which connects Jerusalem to Ma’aleh Adumim, one of the largest West Bank settlements. That’s because building up this area is seen as the one step that would deal a death blow to an already ailing peace process.“If construction goes ahead as planned in the E1 area, this will divide the West Bank in two, Jerusalem will be cut off from the West Bank, and any meaningful two-state solution will be impossible to achieve,” said Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, echoing many of his colleagues.And yet many European diplomats, while certainly concerned about the prospects of additional Israeli settlement construction, do not think Netanyahu is actually going to build up E1.“E1 is definitely the key word — it’s a red line that cannot be crossed, and the American and European governments did right to condemn Israel’s announcement. But really, hardly anyone thinks that the Israeli government is actually going to cross that line,” a senior European diplomat told The Times of Israel on Tuesday. “Netanyahu is playing with fire by making these kinds of announcements. But I don’t see the bulldozers rolling.”The international community is deeply worried about the political signal Israel is sending by boasting of its intention to expand settlements in blatant disregard of international opposition, the senior diplomat said. By approving construction in the West Bank and creating additional facts on the ground, he said, Jerusalem gives the impression that it does not intend to work toward a two-state solution and a Palestinian state.But the world’s capitals are also aware that Netanyahu is in the midst of an election campaign. Faced with a humiliating defeat last week at the United Nations General Assembly, which overwhelmingly (138 to 9) awarded nonmember state status to Palestine, the prime minister felt the need to retaliate, they believe. And despite those harsh reactions to the prospects of increased settlement building — the summoning of the ambassadors, the calls for a volte face, the US dismay and pressure — Netanyahu, the assessments in the diplomatic community go, Netanyahu cannot publicly back down now, less than 50 days before Israel heads to the polls. He will keep up the bellicose rhetoric to avoid appearing weak. But what will happen on the ground is a different story.Most Israelis believe that Ma’aleh Adumim will be a part of Israel in any future peace agreement, and many do not see why building in E1 would cause such outrage. This is true especially for the right-wing voters Netanyahu appears to be courting with promises of increased settlement construction. However, the senior diplomat says, Netanyahu also “knows what price he would have to pay for building in E1, and I don’t think he wants to jeopardize the relationship with the US, also with regards to the Iranian questions” — a reference to the vital coordination needed with Washington to handle Tehran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.“Bibi is bluffing,” Michael Koplow wrote on Monday in the Daily Beast’s Open Zion blog, suggesting that the current situation is similar to the talk in government of adopting the so-called Levy report, which seeks to legally justify Israel’s West Bank settlements. Netanyahu, Koplow argued, tries to boost his right-wing credentials by making hawkish announcements, well aware that that he will not be able to follow through on many of them. (In July, Netanyahu pledged to adopt the controversial Levy report, which asserts that settlements are legal under international law and that Israel’s actions in the West Bank should thus not be considered an occupation. But he has yet to do so.)“The fact that [the threat to build in E1] — just like the Levy Report — is an announcement that will never be acted upon does not negate the fact that it is good politics for Netanyahu,” Koplow wrote. “He is going to perform a delicate balancing act, in which he doubles down on settlements for a domestic audience while assuring the U.S. and the EU that E1 will remain a barren tract of land.”

On Tuesday, one of Netanyahu’s opponents in the elections, Hatnua (The Movement) party chair Tzipi Livni, also predicted that Israel would rescind its decision to build in E1. The government may wait until after it is reelected to back down from the construction initiative, Livni said, while warning dramatically, however, that “by then we will have lost [the support of] the entire world and Israel’s closest friends.”Indeed, it may well be that the government miscalculated the severity with which the West would react, and is already bent on damage control.While ministers on Tuesday played down the diplomatic crisis, journalists were also being told that Israel’s future actions would depend on what the Palestinians do. “If they continue with unilateral steps, Israel will act accordingly,” a source in the Prime Minister’s Office declared.But the Palestinian Authority, for now, has gotten what it wanted, and PA President Mahmoud Abbas has already stated that for the time being, the PA will not seek to incriminate Israel at the International Criminal Court or other international forums. So what Jerusalem may really be saying to the international community is this: We had to do something to punish the Palestinians for going unilaterally to the UN, so we announced our intention to increase settlement construction. We even threatened to make a contiguous Palestinian state impossible by building up E1. But if the Palestinian hold their fire, so will we.Furthermore, Jerusalem has been keen to point out that the E1 plan is still on the drawing board.“No decision has been made to actually build in E1,” a government official told The Times of Israel on Monday night. “We decided to build 3,000 new units in Jerusalem and the settlement blocs and to allow planning and zoning in other areas, including E1,” he clarified, emphasizing that planning and zoning were the first of about a dozen steps that had to be taken before actual construction could commence.All of this is not to say that the US and the Europeans aren’t angry at what they perceive as Netanyahu’s petty, problematic and counterproductive response to the Palestinians’ UN status upgrade. And there are several painful measures that European nations in particular could take to punish Israel for expanding what they deem to be illegal settlements to Jerusalem’s north and south.“They could start labeling West Bank products as coming from the occupied Palestinian territories, or they could refuse to help us when we need their votes at the United Nations Human Rights Council, or they could be less forthcoming on the Iranian issue,” an Israeli official said. “There are many things for which we routinely solicit their assistance, and they could turn a cold shoulder.”Turning a cold shoulder, but not, it appears, walking out on Israel altogether. Unless, that is, Netanyahu proves not to have been bluffing after all.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Amid fears of chemical attacks from Syria, NATO to station Patriot missiles in Turkey

NATO chief calls Syrian WMDs a ‘great concern’; mortar shell hits school near Damascus, kills eight students

December 4, 2012, 3:50 pm 0-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

AP — NATO foreign ministers are expected Tuesday to approve Turkey’s request for Patriot anti-missile systems to bolster its defense against strikes from neighboring Syria, NATO’s top official said, as eight children were killed when a mortar round hit their school in Damascus.Ankara, which has been highly supportive of the Syrian opposition to President Bashar Assad’s regime, wants the Patriots to defend against possible retaliatory attacks by Syrian missiles carrying chemical warheads. Syria is reported to have an array of artillery rockets, as well as short- and medium-range missiles in its arsenal — some capable of carrying chemical warheads.Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned as he arrived for a two-day meeting of foreign ministers that “if anybody uses chemical weapons I would expect an immediate reaction from the international community.” His comments echoed a Monday warning from President Barack Obama that there would be consequences if Assad made the “tragic mistake” of deploying chemical weapons.“Syrian stockpiles of chemical weapons are a matter of great concern,” Fogh Rasmussen said.Though Fogh Rasmussen offered no specifics, US officials say the White House and its allies are weighing military options after US intelligence reports showed the Syrian regime may be readying them and desperate enough to use them.Germany and the Netherlands are expected to provide to Turkey several batteries of the latest PAC-3 version of the US-built Patriot air defense system, which is optimized to intercept incoming missiles, with the US possibly sending some from its stocks in Europe.The exact details of the deployment and the number of batteries to be sent will be determined by NATO’s military committee based on a report by a joint team that has been studying possible basing sites. Parliaments in both Germany and the Netherlands must then approve the move, which would also involve several hundred soldiers.NATO doesn’t want to be drawn into the Syrian conflict and Rasmussen cautioned that any missile deployment would be defensive only.“It would in no way support a no-fly zone or any offensive operation,” he said.German ambassador Martin Erdmann said the Bundestag will probably take up the matter next week. The actual deployment would then occur “within weeks” once the political decision is made, Fogh Rasmussen said.NATO foreign ministers are also will meeting Tuesday with their Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. Russia has criticized the planned deployment of the Patriots saying that it would further inflame tensions in the region.Syria, which is party to the 1925 Geneva Protocol banning chemical weapons in war, has repeatedly insisted it would not use them even if it did possess such weapons.Gunmen shot dead a journalist for a pro-government newspaper near Damascus on Tuesday, Syria’s official news agency said, as fighting between rebels and regime troops raged in and around the capital with opposition fighters pushing their way closer to the seat of President Bashar Assad’s power base.Fighting raged on in and around Damascus, and Britain-based opposition activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the clashes between rebels and troops loyal to Assad were taking place in Beit Saham, Akraba and Yalda suburbs as well as near the international airport.The Observatory relies on reports from activists on the ground.The state-run news agency SANA reported that eight students were killed when mortar round hit their school in the near the Damascus suburb of Douma. It said the mortar was fired by terrorists, the same term the regime uses to describe rebels.The rebels have notched a series of tactical victories in recent weeks, overrunning two air bases near Damascus and capturing a hydroelectric dam in the north. With the Syrian regime feeling squeezed, US officials said intelligence reports show Assad may be readying his chemical and biological weapons and may be desperate enough to use them.The heavy fighting around the capital — the heaviest since July — prompted the United Nations on Monday to announce it was withdrawing most of its international staff from Syria due to deteriorating security in the country.The Damascus suburbs, which have been opposition strongholds since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011, have been the scene of heavy fighting since last week following the start of an army offensive to regain lost territory around the capital. Assad’s forces have so far repelled major rebel advances on the capital, though their hold may be slipping.Syria’s official SANA news agency said a journalist for the state-run Tishrin newspaper was killed near his home in al-Tadhamon suburb of Damascus. Naji Assaad was “assassinated by an armed terrorist group” Tuesday morning on his way to work, SANA said. The regime refers to rebels fighting to topple Assad as terrorists.The Syrian uprising began with peaceful protests in March 2011, but has since morphed into a civil war that activists say has killed more than 40,000 people.

Egyptian papers suspend publication protesting new restrictions

As political crisis deepens, at least eight influential dailies partake in civil disobedience campaign against Islamists’ draft constitution, Morsi’s presidential decrees

December 4, 2012, 4:41 pm 0-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

CAIRO (AP) — Several independent Egyptian newspapers suspended publication Tuesday as protesters prepared for marches amid mounting anger over the hurried drafting of the country’s new constitution adopted by an Islamist-led panel.The media protest involved at least eight influential dailies and was part of a planned campaign of civil disobedience that could bring in other industries and build on an ongoing strike by Egypt’s judges.Meanwhile, opponents of President Mohammed Morsi planned a massive rally outside the presidential palace in Cairo later Tuesday — the latest against the draft constitution and decrees by the Islamist leader giving him nearly unrestricted powers. Morsi called for a nationwide referendum on the draft on Dec. 15.The draft constitution has been criticized for not protecting the rights of women and minority groups, and many journalists see it as restricting freedom of expression. Critics also say it empowers Islamic religious clerics by giving them a say over legislation, while some articles were seen as tailored to get rid of Islamists’ enemies.The country’s privately owned TV networks are planning their own protest Wednesday, when they will blacken their screens all day.The controversy over the draft has widened Egypt’s political crisis and deeply divided the Arab nation nearly two years after the ouster of authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak.The country’s judges have already gone on strike over Morsi’s Nov. 22 decrees that placed him above oversight of any kind, including the courts. Following those decrees, the constitutional panel rushed through a draft constitution without the participation of representatives of liberals and Christians. Only four women, all Islamists, attended the marathon, all-night session.The crisis has divided the country into two camps: Morsi and his Islamic fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, as well as another ultraconservative Islamist group, the Salafis, versus youth groups, liberal parties and large sectors of the public.The opposition brought out at least 200,000 protesters to Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Nov. 27 and a comparable number on Nov. 30, demanding that Morsi’s decrees be rescinded. Protesters have camped out in the square for close to two weeks.The Islamists responded by sending hundreds of thousands of supporters into Cairo’s twin city of Giza on Saturday and across much of the country. Thousands also imposed a siege on Egypt’s highest court, the Supreme Constitutional Court.The court had been widely expected Sunday to declare the constitutional assembly that passed the draft charter to be illegitimate and to disband parliament’s upper house, the Shura Council. Instead, the judges went on strike after they found their building under siege by protesters.

Thousands ready to march on Egypt president palace

By By HAMZA HENDAWI | Associated Press – 1 hr 9 mins ago DEC 4,12

CAIRO (AP) — Thousands of Egyptians massed in Cairo Tuesday for a march to the presidential palace to protest the assumption by the nation's Islamist president of nearly unrestricted powers and a draft constitution hurriedly adopted by his allies.The march comes amid rising anger over the draft charter and decrees issued by Mohammed Morsi giving himself sweeping powers. Morsi called for a nationwide referendum on the draft constitution on Dec. 15.It is Egypt's worst political crisis since the ouster nearly two years ago of authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak. The country has been divided into two camps: Morsi and his fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, as well as ultraconservative Salafi Islamists versus youth groups, liberal parties and large sectors of the public.Hundreds of black-clad riot police deployed around the Itihadiya palace in Cairo's district of Heliopolis. Barbed wire was also placed outside the complex, and side roads leading to it were blocked to traffic. Protesters gathered at Cairo's Tahrir square and several other points not far from the palace to march to the presidential complex."Freedom or we die," chanted a crowd of several hundred outside a mosque in the Abbasiyah district. "Mohammed Morsi! Illegitimate! Brotherhood! Illegitimate!" they also yelled, alluding to the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood from which Morsi hails.
"This is the last warning before we lay siege on the presidential palace," said Mahmoud Hashim, a 21-year-old student from the city of Suez on the Red Sea. "We want the presidential decrees cancelled."
Several hundred protesters also gathered outside Morsi's residence in an upscale suburb not far from the Itihadiya. "Down with the sons of dogs. We are the power and we are the people" They chanted.
Morsi, who narrowly won the presidency in a June election, appeared to be in no mood for compromise.
A statement by his office said the Egyptian leader met on Tuesday with his deputy, prime minister and several top Cabinet members to discuss preparations for the referendum. The statement appeared also to suggest that it is business as usual at the presidential palace despite the planned rally.A large turnout would signal sustained momentum for the opposition, which brought out at least 200,000 protesters to Cairo's Tahrir Square a week ago and a comparable number on Friday, demanding that Morsi's decrees be rescinded. Hundreds of protesters also have camped out in Tahrir, birthplace of last year's uprising, for close to two weeks.The Islamists responded by sending hundreds of thousands of supporters into Cairo's twin city of Giza on Saturday and across much of the country. Thousands also imposed a siege on Egypt's highest court, the Supreme Constitutional Court.The court had been widely expected Sunday to declare the constitutional assembly that passed the draft charter on Friday to be illegitimate and to disband parliament's upper house, the Shura Council. Instead, the judges went on strike after they found their building under siege by protesters.The opposition has yet to say whether it intends to focus its energy on rallying support for a boycott of the Dec. 15 vote or defeating the draft with a "no" vote."We haven't made any decisions yet, but I'm leaning against a boycott and toward voting 'no'," said Hossam al-Hamalawy of the Socialist Revolutionaries, a key group behind last year's uprising. "We want a (new) constituent assembly that represents the people and we keep up the pressure on Morsi."The strikes were part of a planned campaign of civil disobedience that could bring in other industries.Already Tuesday, at least eight influential dailies, a mix of opposition party mouthpieces and independent publications, suspended publication for a day to protest against what many journalists see as the restrictions on freedom of expression in the draft constitution.

The country's privately owned TV networks planned their own protest Wednesday, when they will blacken their screens all day.Morsi's Nov. 22 decrees placed him above oversight of any kind, including the courts. The constitutional panel then rushed through a draft constitution without the participation of representatives of liberals and Christians. Only four women, all Islamists, attended the marathon, all-night session.The charter has been criticized for not protecting the rights of women and minority groups, and many journalists see it as restricting freedom of expression. Critics also say it empowers Islamic religious clerics by giving them a say over legislation, while some articles were seen as tailored to get rid of Islamists' enemies.

Russia, China urge North Korea to drop rocket launch plan

Reuters – Mon, Dec 3, 2012

MOSCOW/BEIJING (Reuters) - Russia and China urged North Korea on Monday not to go ahead with a plan for its second rocket launch of 2012, with Moscow saying any such move would violate restrictions imposed by the U.N. Security Council.North Korea's state news agency on Saturday announced the decision to launch another space satellite and reportedly told neighbors it would take a similar path to that planned for a failed rocket launch in April."We urgently appeal to the government (of North Korea) to reconsider the decision to launch a rocket," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.North Korea on Monday notified the U.N. shipping agency, the International Maritime Organization, about the launch, which was scheduled to take place between December 10 and December 22 at between 11.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. EST.The rocket's first stage drop-off would take place off the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, while the second stage would occur off the Philippines - both stages nowhere near Japan, coordinates provided by Pyongyang showed.Echoing its criticism of the April launch, Russia said North Korea had been warned not to ignore a U.N. Security Council resolution which "unambiguously prohibits (it) from launching rockets using ballistic technology".China was not so direct in its criticism of North Korea, but urged "all sides" not to take any action that "worsens the problem"."China believes that maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia accords with the interests of all sides and is the joint responsibility of all sides," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters."In the present circumstances, we hope all sides can be calm and restrained and not take any moves to worsen the problem. China will remain in touch and coordinate with all sides."In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned the launch plan on Sunday, calling it a provocative threat to the Asia-Pacific region.
ELECTION IN SOUTH

North Korea says its rockets are used to put satellites into orbit for peaceful purposes. Russia said in its statement North Korea would be allowed to exercise its right to peaceful activity in space only if the U.N.-imposed restrictions were lifted.The warnings come just weeks before South Korea's December 19 presidential election in which how to handle North Korea is a major campaign issue. The isolated North has for years tried to influence major events in the South by issuing propaganda or launching armed attacks.

North and South Korea have been technically at war since their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, and regional powers have for years been trying to rein in the North's nuclear program.

Countries trying to stop North Korea's arms program believe it is using rocket launches to perfect technology to build a missile arsenal capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the United States.North Korea is under U.N. sanctions that ban trading in missile or nuclear technology that have driven its already dire economy deeper in trouble by cutting off what was once a lucrative source of hard cash.Russia has often balanced criticism of the nuclear activities and missile launches of North Korea, a Soviet-era client state, with calls on other powers to refrain from belligerent actions against it, which Moscow says can be counterproductive.Russia is a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council and is upset by any defiance of council resolutions. Past launches by Pyongyang have caused concern among Russians living near the country's border with North Korea.(Additional reporting by Ben Blanchard in Beijing and Jonathan Saul in London,; Writing by Steve Gutterman and Nick Macfie; Editing by Robert Birsel and Mark Heinrich)

Vietnam condemns China's sea claims as "serious violation"

Reuters – 3 hrs ago DEC 4,12

HANOI/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Vietnam condemned on Tuesday China's claims to disputed South China Sea islands as a serious violation of its sovereignty after saying it was setting up patrols to protect its fisheries and accusing Chinese boats of sabotage.The condemnation of China's claims to the sea and its numerous reefs and tiny islands was the strongest yet from Vietnam since tension flared this year and came after India declared itself ready to send navy ships to safeguard its interests in the disputed waters.Claims by an increasingly powerful China over most of the South China Sea have set it directly against U.S. allies Vietnam and the Philippines, while Brunei, Taiwan and Malaysia also claim parts of the mineral-rich waters.

Vietnam's condemnation came a day after its state oil and gas company, Petrovietnam, accused Chinese boats of sabotaging an exploration operation by cutting a seismic cable being towed behind a Vietnamese boat.Vietnam's Foreign Ministry spokesman condemned the cable cutting as well as some recent Chinese provincial regulations that identified the disputed Spratly and Paracel islands as Chinese, and a map that did the same thing."The actions of the Chinese side have seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty over the two archipelagos," the spokesman, Luong Thanh Nghi, said in a statement.Vietnamese Foreign Ministry officials met representatives of the Chinese embassy in Hanoi on Monday, Nghi said.The Vietnamese officials handed over a diplomatic note "resolutely opposing the above mentioned actions by the Chinese side, asking China to respect Vietnam's sovereignty, to immediately stop such wrongful acts and not to repeat similar actions."
Earlier, Vietnam said civilian-led patrols, backed by marine police and a border force, would be deployed from January 25 to stop foreign vessels violating fishing laws in Vietnam's waters.A decree on the Vietnamese patrols was signed on November 29, the day Chinese media announced new rules authorizing police in the southern Chinese province of Hainan to board and seize foreign ships in the South China Sea.
"It's going to lead to friction," Carl Thayer, a Southeast Asia security expert at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said of China's new rules that take effect from January 1 on boarding ships which "illegally enter" waters it claims."If it begins to assert these rights and isn't challenged, over time it becomes customary, it becomes practice."On Monday, Petrovietnam said the seismic vessel had been operating outside the Gulf of Tonkin when the cable was severed on Friday. It had earlier been surveying the Nam Con Son basin further south - an area where Indian state-run explorer Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has a stake in a Vietnamese gas field.Petrovietnam posted on its website comments by the deputy head of exploration, Pham Viet Dung, in which he said the cable was repaired and the survey resumed the following day."The blatant violation of Vietnamese waters by Chinese fishing vessels not only violates the sovereignty ... of Vietnam but also interferes in the normal operations of Vietnamese fishermen and affects the maritime activities of Petrovietnam," Dung was quoted as saying.Asked about the complaint, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a briefing in Beijing that China was checking the reports of the incident, which he said was understood to have taken place in an area of overlapping claims."Chinese fishing boats were operating in normal fishing activities," Hong said.
COLLISION COURSE?
India has also declared itself ready to deploy naval vessels to the South China Sea to protect its oil-exploration interests there, a new source of tension in a disputed area where fears of conflict have been growing steadily.Indian navy chief, Admiral D.K Joshi, said on Monday that, while India was not a territorial claimant in the South China Sea, it was prepared to act, if necessary, to protect its maritime and economic interests in the region."When the requirement is there, for example, in situations where our country's interests are involved, for example ONGC ... we will be required to go there and we are prepared for that," Joshi told a news conference."Now, are we preparing for it? Are we having exercises of that nature? The short answer is yes," he said.An Indian government spokesman on Tuesday played down the comments: "This is an issue for the parties concerned to resolve."India is not the only non-claimant nation concerned about disruption to shipping or oil exploration in the South China Sea. The United States, a close ally to several of the Southeast Asian claimants, has also voiced concern at the prospect of China stopping international ships in contested waters.India has sparred diplomatically with China in the past over its gas and oil exploration block off the coast of Vietnam.Any display of naval assertiveness by India in the South China Sea would likely fuel concern that the navies of the two rapidly growing Asian giants could be on a collision course as they seek to protect trade routes and lock in the supply of coal, minerals and other raw material from foreign sources.
