12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the leading Likud party needs partners to help him build a stable governing coalition, and two contenders he is courting — the centrist Yesh Atid and the pro-settler Jewish Home — have made it clear that they do not want the Chief Rabbinate to be dominated by ultra-Orthodox rabbis."We certainly support a more moderate and openly Zionistic rabbinate," said Dov Lippman, a rabbi on the Yesh Atid list."One of our main goals is for a Zionist, national religious rabbi to be elected to be chief rabbi," Ayelet Shaked, a Jewish Home lawmaker, told Israel Radio.The two parties have not publically endorsed a particular candidate, but a leading member of Stav's rabbinic organization is the No. 2 man on Yesh Atid's parliamentary list, and an official in Stav's organization said Yesh Atid and the chairman of the Jewish Home party are pushing for Stav's candidacy. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was citing private discussions.The Yisrael Beitenu lawmakers, whose party ran with the Likud on a joint list, also support Stav, said Yekutiel Zafari, a party official.The decision largely rests on what kind of behind-the-scenes agreements are made with coalition partners.The rise of Yesh Atid and the Jewish Home reflect something of a backlash against Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, which makes up nearly 10 percent of the country's population of 8 million. Both parties have pledged to abolish a controversial system that allows ultra-Orthodox males to skip compulsory military service and instead attend religious seminaries. The ultra-Orthodox have also antagonized the general public in recent years by attempts to impose their social mores, such as separation between men and women, in public spaces like buses and sidewalks.Unlike many ultra-Orthodox rabbis, Stav served in combat as a soldier and reservist, and his eldest son is a paratrooper commander.At least three other rabbis are contending for the same position, but Stav is the only one leading a public campaign, promising reform in some of the most controversial ultra-Orthodox practices. He has even published a manifesto outlining what he would change.He would encourage couples to sign prenuptial agreements to ensure wives can request a divorce, a right not granted to them in the traditional Jewish marriage contract. He would privatize the kosher certification industry and make the chief rabbinate its regulator, lowering the soaring prices of kosher supervision for the food industry. He would make ritual baths more handicapped accessible, and require ritual circumcisers to refresh their skills in training classes every two years.What matters most to him is to make the chief rabbinate more welcoming to secular Israelis, who make up the majority of Israel's Jewish population.According to government statistics, more than 9,000 Israeli couples last year sidestepped the rabbinate and married in civil ceremonies abroad. Civil marriages are virtually banned in Israel. Stav estimates that a third of all secular Israeli couples choose that option, and says those couples distance themselves from Judaism because they lack the religious marriage documents that would certify their future children as Jewish.One of his biggest goals is to help Israel's million-plus ex-Soviet immigrants. He vows a massive genealogical research campaign to help immigrants prove their Jewish lineage, and to encourage those who are not of Jewish descent to convert."A state in Israel cannot exist when half of the nation thinks the other half is non-Jewish," Stav said.Though he is seen as a moderate rabbi, he does not support female rabbis or same-sex partnerships, as do rabbis in the more progressive Reform and Conservative movements which are dominant in the U.S. but have a limited presence in Israel.
Orthodox Judaism expert Menachem Friedman says Stav could stir a revolution in the rabbinate — but the more stringent Orthodox rabbis in the rabbinate would likely oppose his reforms."He is seen as more liberal," said Friedman, a professor emeritus at Bar-Ilan University. "This will put him under pressure and he won't be able to solve all the problems."And his very public campaign to change the rabbinate to its core might irk some on the election committee — those who have spent their careers in the very bureaucracy Stav is criticizing."Behind the scenes, there was always a political race" for the position of chief rabbi, said Yair Sheleg, a researcher of religious affairs at the Israel Democracy Institute. "But it was always behind the scenes. In public, it's not respectful."___Follow Daniel Estrin: www.twitter.com/danielestrin

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

Orthodox rabbi seeks Israeli religious revolution
By | Associated Press – Wed, Feb 13, 2013
JERUSALEM (AP) — When Rabbi David Stav launched his official campaign last month to wrest control of Israel's top religious institution from its longtime hardline leadership, it was a long shot.But just two weeks later,
Israelis went to the polls and surprisingly shifted the country toward
the center of the political spectrum — creating a rare window of
opportunity for the modern Orthodox rabbi to capture the title of chief rabbi and fulfill his pledge to revolutionize the contentious role that religion plays in the Jewish state.Stav, a 53-year-old father of
nine, heads a private network of modern Orthodox rabbis that is
virtually an alternative organization to Israel's state-sanctioned
rabbinical bureaucracy. It seeks to put a friendly face on Jewish
traditions for secular Israeli Jews alienated by the ultra-Orthodox
functionaries that regulate religious services. The organization, called
Tzohar, has gained popularity among secular Israelis with its program that sends rabbis free of charge to officiate at weddings.Now Stav is waging a highly visible public campaign
to change Israel's rabbinate from the inside. He is being featured
frequently in media interviews, is running a Facebook campaign, and
appears in large color newspaper ads placed by a group of secular
Israelis.
"It's not about public relations and niceness," Stav said in an
interview. "There is a critical problem — it's not cosmetic — in the
rabbinic system. It needs dramatic changes."Stav cautiously acknowledges that the stars now seem to be aligned for his hoped-for coup.Every 10 years, two rabbis — one representing Ashkenazi, or
European-descended Jews, the other of Sephardic, or Middle Eastern
lineage — are appointed to co-lead the Chief Rabbinate.It's the country's supreme body overseeing civil services for Jews
from cradle to grave — circumcision, marriage, divorce and burial. The
current ultra-Orthodox Sephardic chief rabbi will likely be allowed to
stay on, but the current Ashkenazi rabbi, Yona Metzger, is vacating his
post in the coming months.For the last two decades, ultra-Orthodox Jewish political parties
have wielded outsized influence in governing coalitions, and in turn
held sway over the panel of 150 rabbis and politicians that appoints the
new chief rabbis.That balance of power, however, may soon tip in Rabbi Stav's favor.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the leading Likud party needs partners to help him build a stable governing coalition, and two contenders he is courting — the centrist Yesh Atid and the pro-settler Jewish Home — have made it clear that they do not want the Chief Rabbinate to be dominated by ultra-Orthodox rabbis."We certainly support a more moderate and openly Zionistic rabbinate," said Dov Lippman, a rabbi on the Yesh Atid list."One of our main goals is for a Zionist, national religious rabbi to be elected to be chief rabbi," Ayelet Shaked, a Jewish Home lawmaker, told Israel Radio.The two parties have not publically endorsed a particular candidate, but a leading member of Stav's rabbinic organization is the No. 2 man on Yesh Atid's parliamentary list, and an official in Stav's organization said Yesh Atid and the chairman of the Jewish Home party are pushing for Stav's candidacy. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was citing private discussions.The Yisrael Beitenu lawmakers, whose party ran with the Likud on a joint list, also support Stav, said Yekutiel Zafari, a party official.The decision largely rests on what kind of behind-the-scenes agreements are made with coalition partners.The rise of Yesh Atid and the Jewish Home reflect something of a backlash against Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, which makes up nearly 10 percent of the country's population of 8 million. Both parties have pledged to abolish a controversial system that allows ultra-Orthodox males to skip compulsory military service and instead attend religious seminaries. The ultra-Orthodox have also antagonized the general public in recent years by attempts to impose their social mores, such as separation between men and women, in public spaces like buses and sidewalks.Unlike many ultra-Orthodox rabbis, Stav served in combat as a soldier and reservist, and his eldest son is a paratrooper commander.At least three other rabbis are contending for the same position, but Stav is the only one leading a public campaign, promising reform in some of the most controversial ultra-Orthodox practices. He has even published a manifesto outlining what he would change.He would encourage couples to sign prenuptial agreements to ensure wives can request a divorce, a right not granted to them in the traditional Jewish marriage contract. He would privatize the kosher certification industry and make the chief rabbinate its regulator, lowering the soaring prices of kosher supervision for the food industry. He would make ritual baths more handicapped accessible, and require ritual circumcisers to refresh their skills in training classes every two years.What matters most to him is to make the chief rabbinate more welcoming to secular Israelis, who make up the majority of Israel's Jewish population.According to government statistics, more than 9,000 Israeli couples last year sidestepped the rabbinate and married in civil ceremonies abroad. Civil marriages are virtually banned in Israel. Stav estimates that a third of all secular Israeli couples choose that option, and says those couples distance themselves from Judaism because they lack the religious marriage documents that would certify their future children as Jewish.One of his biggest goals is to help Israel's million-plus ex-Soviet immigrants. He vows a massive genealogical research campaign to help immigrants prove their Jewish lineage, and to encourage those who are not of Jewish descent to convert."A state in Israel cannot exist when half of the nation thinks the other half is non-Jewish," Stav said.Though he is seen as a moderate rabbi, he does not support female rabbis or same-sex partnerships, as do rabbis in the more progressive Reform and Conservative movements which are dominant in the U.S. but have a limited presence in Israel.
Orthodox Judaism expert Menachem Friedman says Stav could stir a revolution in the rabbinate — but the more stringent Orthodox rabbis in the rabbinate would likely oppose his reforms."He is seen as more liberal," said Friedman, a professor emeritus at Bar-Ilan University. "This will put him under pressure and he won't be able to solve all the problems."And his very public campaign to change the rabbinate to its core might irk some on the election committee — those who have spent their careers in the very bureaucracy Stav is criticizing."Behind the scenes, there was always a political race" for the position of chief rabbi, said Yair Sheleg, a researcher of religious affairs at the Israel Democracy Institute. "But it was always behind the scenes. In public, it's not respectful."___Follow Daniel Estrin: www.twitter.com/danielestrin

Vatican says pope hit head during Mexico trip
By | Associated Press – 14 mins ago FEB 14,13
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI hit his head during his March 2012 trip to Mexico, The Vatican said Thursday, but denied the accident had any "relevant" role in his resignation.It was the latest revelation of a hidden health issue to emerge from
the Holy See since the pope's shock announcement, and adds to questions
about the gravity of the pontiff's condition. On Tuesday, the Vatican
said for the first time that Benedict has a pacemaker, and that he had
its batteries replaced just three months ago.Italy's La Stampa newspaper reported Thursday that Benedict hit his
head and bled when he got up in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar
bedroom in Leon, Mexico. The report said blood stained his hair and
sheets.Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi confirmed the incident
but said "it was not relevant for the trip, in that it didn't affect it,
nor in the decision" to resign.The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported earlier in the
week that Benedict had taken the decision to resign after the
Mexico-Cuba trip, which was physically exhausting for the 85-year-old
pope.Earlier Thursday, Benedict held a 45-minute, off-the-cuff reminiscence about the Second Vatican Council
in the early 1960s, blaming the media for what he called the media's
distorted interpretation of the church meetings at the time for many
"calamities" that plague the Catholic Church today.It was the second day in a row that Benedict has sent very pointed
messages to his successor and the cardinals who will elect him about the
direction the church must take once he is no longer pope. While his
farewell remarks on Wednesday were in many ways bittersweet, Benedict
was more combative on Thursday as he addressed an audience hall full of
thousands of priests.Benedict was a young theological expert at Vatican II, the 1962-65
meetings that brought the Catholic Church into the modern world with
important documents on the church's relations with other religions, its
place in the world and the liturgy.Benedict has spent much of his eight-year pontificate seeking to
correct what he considers the misinterpretation of Vatican II, insisting
that it wasn't a revolutionary break from the past, as liberal
Catholics paint it, but a renewal and reawakening of the best traditions
of the ancient church.He nailed that point home on Thursday, blaming botched media
reporting of the council's deliberations for having reduced the work to
"political power struggles between various currents in the church."Because the media's interpretation was dominant and "accessible to
all," it fueled the popular understanding of what the council was all
about, he said. That led in the years that followed to "so many
calamities, so many problems, really so many miseries: Seminaries that
closed, convents that closed, the liturgy that was banalized."In what will be one of his final public remarks as pope, Benedict said he hoped the "true council" will one day be understood."Our job in this 'Year of Faith' is to work so that the true council,
with the strength of the Holy Spirit, is truly realized and that the
church is truly renovated."Just hours earlier, Benedict delivered another pointed message during
an emotional Ash Wednesday Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, his last
public liturgy before he resigns as pope Feb. 28.In his homily, Benedict lamented the internal church rivalries that
he said had "defiled the face of the church" — a not-too-subtle message
to his successor and the cardinals who will elect him.Those rivalries came to the fore last year with the leaks of internal
papal documents by the pope's own butler. The documentation revealed
bitter infighting within the highest ranks of the Catholic Church,
allegations of corruption and mismanagement of the Holy See's affairs.Benedict took the scandal as a personal betrayal and a wound on the
entire church. In a sign of his desire to get to the bottom of the
leaks, he appointed a commission of cardinals to investigate alongside
Vatican investigators. His butler, Paolo Gabriele, was convicted and
sentenced to 18 months in prison, although Benedict ultimately pardoned
him.___Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI
continued his farewell tour Thursday with an off-the-cuff meeting with
Roman priests, an annual encounter that took on poignant new meaning
with his impending resignation.Walking with a cane, Benedict received another standing ovation from thousands of clerics gathered in the Vatican's main audience hall.The Vatican has said Benedict would reflect on his personal experiences as a young theological expert attending the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that brought the Catholic Church into the modern world.Benedict spent much of his 8-year pontificate seeking to correct what

2015 target date for EU-US trade deal
Today @ 09:51 FEB 14,13 By Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - EU and US negotiators want
to have a transatlantic trade and investment deal in place by 2015, but
French politicians are wary of the pact.Hours after US President Barack Obama unveiled plans for talks aimed
at a bilateral pact worth up to €86 billion per year, EU trade
commissioner Karel de Gucht told reporters at a press conference on
Wednesday (13 February): "We'd like to complete this work in about two
years from now."De Gucht, who will lead the EU's negotiating team, noted that "more
paramount than speed is achieving an ambitious deal," however.For his part, commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said "a future
deal between the world's two most important economic powers will be a
game-changer."He added that "it's a boost to our economies that does not cost a cent."A joint EU-US statement said that talks would "contribute to the
development of global rules that can strengthen the multilateral trading
system."The EU and US already account for 47 percent of the world's GDP and
one third of global trade flows, according to the World Trade
Organisation (WTO), with €2 billion of goods and services traded
bilaterally every day.
A flavour of what the two sides want to achieve is spelt out in the final report of the EU-US so-called High Level Working Group, published on Monday (11 February).The first goal of the group, led by De Gucht and US trade representative Ron Kirk, is to "eliminate all duties on bilateral trade" and to liberalise the services sector. Average tariffs are currently worth 5.2 percent for the EU and 3.5 percent for the US.The deal is likely to go beyond eliminating tariff barriers.The working group said there is also a need to tackle "behind-the-border" obstacles to trade through "harmonization of future regulations, and....mutual recognition" of technical standards.De Gucht estimated that differing standards and regulations are currently "equivalent to slapping a traditional tariff on a product of between 10 and 20 percent."The two sides are keen to fill a void left by the collapse of the Doha round of talks at WTO-level in 2008.One priority is to agree standards on intellectual property rights and environmental and employment protection.Both sides need the approval of domestic legislators before the start of formal talks.The EU needs the backing of all 27 national assemblies.
French trade minister Nicole Bricq on Wednesday (13 February) warned that the governing Socialist party would only support a deal that "respects our values, Europe's cultural vision, our agricultural model and which will facilitate progress in ecological and energy matters."France - which shot down previous attempts to agree an EU-US trade accord in 1998 - will decide whether to back the talks on 1 March, Bricq noted.
The final agreement will also have to be ratified by EU member states and by a final vote of consent by MEPs in the European Parliament.Last year, MEPs used new powers by vetoing the global anti-counterfeit treaty Acta - the first time that euro-deputies rejected an international pact negotiated by the EU executive.

Euro zone economy falls deeper than expected into recession
By Philip Blenkinsop and Annika Breidthardt | Reuters – 23 mins ago FEB 14,13
BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - The euro zone slipped deeper than expected into recession in the last three months of 2012 after its largest economies, Germany and France, shrank at the end of a wretched year for the region.It marked the currency bloc's first full year in which
no quarter produced growth, extending back to 1995. For the year as a
whole, gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.5 percent.Economic output in the 17-country region fell by 0.6
percent in the fourth quarter, EU statistics office Eurostat said on
Thursday, following a 0.1 percent output drop in the third.The quarter-on-quarter drop was the steepest since the
first quarter of 2009 and more severe than the average forecast of a 0.4
percent drop in a Reuters poll of 61 economists.Within the zone, only Estonia and Slovakia grew in the
last quarter of the year, although there are no figures available yet
for Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta and Slovenia.
Dutch GDP dropped 0.2 percent over the quarter, keeping it in recession, and the Austrian economy shrank at the same rate.For the more embattled members of the currency bloc, matters are worse. The greatest reported decline was in bailed-out Portugal, down 1.8 percent.Italy suffered its sixth successive quarterly fall in GDP - this time by a sharp 0.9 percent - putting it into a longer slump than it suffered in 2008/2009.
Its recession has been deepened by austerity measures that outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti introduced to stave off a debt crisis.With an election due on February 24/25, all sides in a three-way race between Monti's centrist bloc, Pier Luigi Bersani's center-left coalition and Silvio Berlusconi's center-right are pledging to cut taxes to try to kickstart economic growth.Spain, the euro zone's fourth largest economy, released figures two weeks ago which showed it remained deep in recession after a 0.7 percent contraction in the fourth quarter.Madrid is also pressing on with austerity measures to cut its debt but may be given more time to meet its deficit targets by the European Commission if its economy worsens further.There are signs that countries like Spain are starting to benefit from internal devaluations - marked by wage falls and job losses aimed at making companies leaner and more productive.The ECB predicts the euro zone will pick up later in the year although its currency, if it keeps strengthening, could quickly snuff out any of those hard-won competitive advantages for its high debt members.More recent data for January have already suggested some upturn in the first months of 2013, in the bloc's stronger members at least, and if improvement comes it is expected to be seen in Germany first.(Additional reporting by Steve Scherer, Vicky Buffery, Robert-Jan Bartunek, Ethan Bilby, writing by Mike Peacock, editing by Jeremy Gaunt)
The big economies set the tone.Germany contracted by 0.6 percent on the quarter,
official data showed, marking its worst performance since the global
financial crisis was raging in 2009.France's 0.3 percent fall was also slightly worse than expectations.Worryingly for Berlin, it was export performance - the
motor of its economy - that did most of the damage, declining
significantly more than imports, although economists expect it to bounce
back quickly.The euro hit a session low against the dollar after the
weaker than forecast German reading and dropped again after the release
of full euro zone figures.Back revisions to the French figures showed its output
fell by 0.1 percent in each of the first and second quarters of 2012,
meaning the country has already experienced one bout of recession in the
last twelve months.While the European
Central Bank's pledge to do whatever it takes to save the euro has taken
the heat out of the bloc's debt crisis, even its stronger members are gripped by an economic malaise that could push debt-cutting drives off track.
French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault acknowledged
for the first time on Wednesday that weak growth was putting his
government's deficit goal for 2013 out of reach.Resilient Germany is expected to rebound and the bloc
as a whole is expected to have improved in the first quarter, as
suggested by a pick-up of factory orders in December, but it is not yet
clear if growth has returned.Nick Kounis, economist at ABN AMRO, said the decline of
fears the euro could break apart and cheap credit had sown the seeds
for the recovery."However, ongoing severe budget cuts, rising
unemployment, bank deleveraging all point to the recovery being
excruciatingly slow," he said, adding the strong euro was also a threat.The ECB has a wide-ranging projection for euro zone GDP growth
in 2013 of between -0.9 and +0.3 percent. ECB Vice President Vitor
Constancio said on Tuesday he expected no major change to the forecasts
in March.

EU bailouts: misery for old people, children, single mothers
Today @ 10:23 FEB 14,13 By Valentina Pop
Austerity policies imposed in bailed-out countries like Greece and
Portugal are taking a high toll on the poorest and most vulnerable in
society, a study published on Thursday (14 February) by the Catholic charity Caritas says.Based on its field work in shelters and social programmes in Greece,
Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland, Caritas noted that by cutting
funding for the most deprived and by raising taxes for people on low
income, the "cohesion of Europe and the very political legitimacy of the
European Union are being put at risk."The report contradicts recent statements by EU and national leaders
claiming that the worst of the euro-crisis is over and that economic
recovery is on its way.Turning large private debts of banks into public ones, as happened in
Ireland and Spain "must be recognised as unfair and unsustainable,"
Caritas said, because the price is mostly paid by single unemployed
mothers, retired people, some of whom can no longer afford medicine, and
young people facing years of unemployment.Case studies from Greece, where the charity recently expanded its aid
from refugees to native Greeks, show that the drastic, EU-mandated cuts
in public spending have undermined the idea of a social Europe.The charity documents retired people seeking food and shelter, single
unemployed mothers relying on the pensions of their parents and left
with no income at all when their parents pass away and autistic children
rejected from public day care centres.In Portugal, where official statistics show rising rates of poverty,
particularly among old people and children, Caritas also found public
spending cuts affect the most vulnerable.Cases discussed in the survey include children - evicted from houses
when their parents are unable to pay the mortgage - who drop out of
school and try to pick up a job on the black market or in agriculture.They also include older people who see their pensions frozen, while
costs for healthcare, electricity, gas and food go up, making it
particularly hard for those living in remote areas.A new wave of discrimination against Roma is also a problem in
Portugal, especially when it comes to housing, education or getting a
job."The crisis is not well understood by many people, leaving those
affected without hope. For many of the families that Caritas Portugal is
supporting, it is their first time having to seek help outside their
family," Caritas says.In Spain, the country with the highest unemployment rate in the EU,
calls for help from the charity have increased by 170 percent since the
start of the crisis.People seeking help lack money to pay for food and utility bills.
Cutbacks in funding for school meals raise concerns about malnutrition
and general cuts in education increase the rate of school drop-outs -
already double the EU average (26.5% compared to 13.5%).Tensions within families are also increasing, as people "have to rely on family members for essential needs like never before."The report was drafted based on available data last year.But further austerity measures have since been adopted in Spain, including more reductions to welfare and VAT hikes."The impact of these measures on vulnerable groups is likely to be
serious, given the high levels of unemployment and poverty already being
experienced in Spain, and the finding that increases in VAT have
already disproportionately affected poorer people," Caritas warns.Meanwhile, new types of poverty are emerging in Italy.Adults in their 40s and 50s are suddenly finding themselves out of a
job after a lifetime of regular work, young people on temporary
contracts are constantly on the hunt for new work, entrepreneurs are
going bust, migrants are being suddenly cut off from social aid, while
older people are having to help their jobless children and
grandchildren.As for Ireland, Caritas notes that "successive cuts to most welfare
rates once the crisis began mean that most social welfare payments in
Ireland are below the poverty line."The problem is being aggravated by the fact Ireland is highly dependent on welfare payments to keep people out of poverty.At 51 percent, Ireland, jointly with Hungary, has the highest poverty
rate in the EU before social transfers and pensions are counted.Caritas urged EU institutions and the International Monetary Fund,
another bailout body, to take its findings into account before demanding
further expenditure cuts.The charity also called for "social monitoring" of bailed-out
countries, with social impact assessments added to regular EU reports on
compliance with EU fiscal targets.

1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

North Korea nuclear test prompts stern warnings from neighbors
By Ju-min Park and Kiyoshi Takenaka | Reuters – 2 hrs 40 mins ago FEB 14,13
SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) - South Korea sent a stern warning to North Korea on Thursday, two days after the North
tested a nuclear bomb, saying it could strike the isolated state if it
believed an attack was imminent as it deployed a new cruise missile to
drive home its point.North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on
Tuesday, in defiance of U.N. resolutions, pushing it further along the
path of developing a workable long-range nuclear missile and drawing
condemnation from the United States, Japan, Europe and the North's only major ally, China.Pyongyang said that the test was designed to bolster
its defenses due to the hostility of the United States, which has led a
push to impose sanctions on the country after its long-range missile
launch.
North Korea on Thursday repeated its warning that any further sanctions would provoke it into taking firmer action.Seoul warned that it would strike if attacked. South Korea has already relaxed rules allowing troops on the border to return fire directly without seeking permission from the army chiefs."The cruise missile being unveiled today is a precision-guided weapon that can identify and strike the window of the office of North Korea's leadership," Defence Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok told reporters."Japan, which has little capacity to strike at the North if threatened by an attack because of the constraints of its pacifist constitution, said it had the right to develop such capability in response to changes in the regional security situation - but had no plan to do so at present."When an intention to attack Japan is evident, the threat is imminent, and there are no other options, Japan is allowed under the law to carry out strikes against enemy targets," Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera told Reuters in an interview."Given Japan's political environment and the peace-oriented diplomacy it has observed, this is not the time to make preparations (for building such capability)," he said."But we need to carefully observe the changing security environment in the region."
Any sign that Japan was moving to develop such a capability would upset neighbors China and South Korea, where memories of Tokyo's past military aggression run deep and which have reacted strongly in the past to suggestions it might do so.It is unlikely the United States, which acts as a security guarantor for both its allies, would permit any major escalation in any conflict with North Korea.Japan and China are engaged in a bitter island dispute that has soured relations between the two and alarmed Washington while Seoul and Tokyo have also clashed verbally over a separate disputed island.
DIPLOMATIC STAKES RAISED
The United States and its allies are pushing for new sanctions at the U.N. Security Council aimed at slowing North Korea's nuclear and long-range missile development.President Barack Obama spoke to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday about North Korea's nuclear test and reaffirmed U.S. commitments to Japan's security."They pledged to work closely together to seek significant action at the United Nations Security Council and to cooperate on measures aimed at impeding North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs," the White House said in a statement after the call.The United States and its allies are believed to be pushing to tighten the noose around North Korea's financial transactions in a bid to starve its leadership of funding.Japan's Onodera called on the North's biggest benefactor, China, to join in strengthening the sanctions."I think China is the one that is most concerned about the development ... From now on, it is necessary for us, including China, to seek effective steps, effective economic measures (against North Korea)."North Korea has repeatedly said it is planning what it terms "stronger measures" against the United States and its allies, although it hasn't specified what those could be.It is not capable of hitting the United States, but its medium-range missiles can hit Japan and South Korea. It also has an estimated 8,000 artillery systems stationed within 100 km of the heavily militarized border between the two Koreas."If the U.S. and its allies challenge the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) with 'strong measures', (a) 'financial freeze' and fresh pressure and 'sanctions' over its underground nuclear test, it will react to them with stronger measures for self-defence," its KCNA news agency said on Thursday.Australia signaled its displeasure with Pyongyang by banning diplomats seeking to reopen an embassy there from visiting the country.While it was still unclear what fissile material North Korea used in its third nuclear test - its statements appeared to indicate that it was likely plutonium as it is easier to miniaturize than uranium - it seemed that initial environmental fears about the test were not realized.China's Environment Ministry said it had found no abnormal radiation from the test site, which is around 100 km from its border. South Korea too said it had not detected any radiation.(Additional reporting by Fayen Wong in SHANGHAI; Rob Taylor in CANBERRA; Writing by David Chance; Editing by Linda Sieg and Nick Macfie)

Japan defense chief: could have pre-emptive strike ability in future
By Kiyoshi Takenaka | Reuters – 5 hrs ago FEB 14,13
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has the right to develop the ability to make a pre-emptive strike against an imminent attack given a changing security environment although it has no plan to do so now, the defense minister said on Thursday, days after North Korea conducted a third nuclear test.Any sign that Japan was moving to develop such a
capability in response to North Korea's nuclear program could upset
neighbors China and South Korea, which have reacted strongly in the past to suggestions it might do so."When an intention to attack Japan is evident, the
threat is imminent, and there are no other options, Japan is allowed
under the law to carry out strikes against enemy targets," Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera told Reuters in an interview."Given Japan's political environment and the
peace-oriented diplomacy it has observed, this is not the time to make
preparations (for building such capability)."But we need to carefully observe the changing security environment in the region."North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday, drawing condemnation from the United States, Japan, Europe and the North's only major ally, China.
Onodera said Japan needed to strengthen its ballistic missile defense in view of the North Korean threat.
"Japan, the United States and South Korea managed to respond well to North Korea's missile launch on December 12. But North Korea is expected to boost various capabilities further. We need to improve corresponding capabilities as well."But he declined to say whether it was more urgent than ever to lift a self-imposed ban on exercising the right of collective self-defense, or coming to the aid of an ally under attack.Exercising that right is now prohibited under a long-standing interpretation of Japan's pacifist constitution but Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made clear he wants to lift the ban and a panel of advisers has begun discussing the topic.
URGING CHINA
Onodera called on China to join the United States, Japan and other countries in tightening sanctions against North Korea, noting that Pyongyang had gone ahead with the test on Monday in defiance of Beijing's urging not to."I think China is the one that is most concerned about the development ... From now on, it is necessary for us, including China, to seek effective steps, effective economic measures (against North Korea)."Onodera urged China to work with Japan to set up hotline and other communications channels between Tokyo and Beijing to prevent any accidental clash over disputed East China Sea islets, while reiterating that the islands belonged to Japan.Sino-Japanese ties cooled sharply after Japan's government in September nationalized three of the disputed islets, called the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
The island row has escalated to the point where both sides have scrambled fighter jets while patrol ships shadow each other, raising worries that an unintended collision or other incident could lead to a broader clash."There already is a preliminary agreement between Japan and China to set up a maritime communication mechanism," Onodera said."The mechanism would include annual meetings, specialists' meetings, hotlines between high-ranking people, and direct communications between ships and planes in the field. I would like to have final agreement reached as soon as possible."Onodera said last week a Chinese frigate had locked its targeting radar on a Japanese destroyer on January 30 - a step that usually precedes the firing of weapons - but China insisted that its vessel used only ordinary surveillance radar.He said in the interview that Japan has data to back up its assertion, but was cautious about disclosing the information.
"We have irrefutable data. But (disclosure) would also reveal our various capabilities. We would like to discuss (possible disclosure) within the government, while watching China's future steps."(Editing by Linda Sieg and Robert Birsel)

Report: Iran Tried to Upgrade Nuke Program With Chinese Magnets
Iran had tried to purchase centrifuge parts that would significantly boost its nuclear production capabilities, a report said

Iran had tried to purchase centrifuge parts that would significantly boost its nuclear production capabilities, a report in the Washington
Post said Thursday. The parts were special magnets used for uranium
enrichment, and would have given a significant boost to Iran's nuclear
program, the report said.The report was based on research by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS)The ring-sized magnets are among the items that are banned for shipment to Iran under international sanctions. About a year ago, Iran tried to purchase the rings from China, hoping to circumvent international
sanctions, documents showed. The magnets could have been used to outfit
50,000 new centrifuges, which would have increased the number of
centrifuges by 500%.The sale did not go through, apparently, although the report did not say why. However, Iran announced
Wednesday that it would install a new generation of centrifuges at its
Natanz facility to produce nuclear fuel. The new centrifuges are
supposedly faster and can generate significantly more fuel, Iran said.
An analyst told the Post that the report on centrifuge acquisitions
could be linked to the upgrade announcement.The report quoted a European diplomat as
saying that the Iranians “are positioning themselves to make a lot of
nuclear progress quickly. Each step forward makes the situation
potentially more dangerous.”
Diplomat confirms Iran nuke upgrade
By | Associated Press – 54 mins ago FEB 14,13
VIENNA (AP) — A senior diplomat is confirming Tehran's announcement that it has started upgrading its nuclear program. He says that U.N. officials just back from Iran saw new machines positioned to vastly accelerate output of material usable both for reactor fuel and nuclear warheads.The diplomat said Thursday that the officials
saw a small number of advanced centrifuges for enriching uranium at the
Natanz plant southeast of Tehran. His comments follow Iran's
announcement the day before.But while Iran said installation had begun, the diplomat said the
officials only saw machines positioned for installation Wednesday.The machines are much faster than ones now enriching. Iran says it
only wants reactor fuel but the centrifuges can also produce fissile
warhead material.The diplomat demanded anonymity because his information was confidential.
