Gang rape of young photojournalist shocks Mumbai

NEW DELHI (AP) — A young photojournalist was gang raped while her male colleague was tied up and beaten in an isolated, overgrown corner of India's business hub of Mumbai, police said Friday. The case was reminiscent of the December gang rape and death of a young university student in the Indian capital that shocked the country.The latest attack took place Thursday evening in Lower Parel, a onetime textile-manufacturing neighborhood of south Mumbai that over the past decade has changed dramatically. Today, upscale malls, trendy restaurants and super-luxury condominiums sit side-by-side with abandoned textile mills and sprawling slums.Police said the 22-year-old woman was on assignment to take pictures of the neighborhood when five men confronted her and her colleague at about 7 p.m. After initially offering to help her get permission to shoot inside a crumbling, isolated building, the men became aggressive and accused the male colleague of being involved in a local crime.When he denied involvement in the crime, they tied his hands with a belt and took the woman to another part of the compound and took turns raping her, Mumbai's police commissioner, Satyapal Singh, told reporters.Police on Friday arrested a suspect in the attack who named and identified the other four men, Singh said. While police have released sketches of the four men, Singh would not give their names or other details, saying authorities did not want to give them any warning that they were being sought. Singh said the men may have been local drug dealers.The woman was in stable condition in a hospital. Police declined to say who she was working for at the time of the attack.The assault comes amid heightened concerns about sexual violence in India. The gang rape and death of the student on a bus in New Delhi in December had shaken a country long inured to violence against women and sparked protests demanding better protection for women.In response, the government passed a stringent law increasing prison terms for rape and making voyeurism, stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women punishable under criminal law.About 1,000 people, including members of several local journalists' associations, gathered Friday evening in south Mumbai to stage a silent protest. Some wore black armbands, while others carried placards reading "Stop rape" and "City of shame."The attack was also discussed in India's Parliament, where junior Home Minister R.P.N. Singh told lawmakers that the government had asked the state of Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, for a detailed report on the attack.He said the federal government had recommended that the "harshest" punishment be handed down to anyone found guilty in the case.

Abbas: A Peace Agreement Would End the Conflict

"We won't ask to return to Jaffa or Acre," PA Chairman tells members of the Meretz party.

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas-Flash 90
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is claiming that if a peace agreement is reached with Israel, it would bring an end to his people’s demands of the Jewish state.
Abbas made the comments during a meeting in Ramallah with members of the leftist Meretz party, and they were reported by Channel 2 News."I know your concerns, but guarantee that at the conclusion of successful negotiations, we undertake to end all the demands. We will not ask to return to Yafo, Akko and Tzfat,” he said.Members of Meretz said that Abbas told them a “fair agreement” will end the conflict with Israel and that a “peace agreement with Israel will be final and binding." He did not, however, specify what is meant by a fair peace agreement and did not commit to the fact that PA would give up its demand for the “right of return”.He added that he believes all obstacles to peace could be overcome and resolved within six months, though he said that at this point there was little progress in the talks. Abbas made it clear, however, that he would not agree to temporary borders and would only sign an agreement that would allow the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state alongside Israel.The PA chairman criticized Israel’s behavior around the resumption of negotiations, saying, according to Channel 2, "I wanted there to be daily meetings or at most every two days, because our time is limited, but Israel refused." He also claimed that Israel had refused to allow active American involvement in the discussions.Abbas expressed disappointment at the fact that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has not met with him and told the Meretz members that he sent Netanyahu a message several times, indicating his readiness to meet with him face to face, as he had done with former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (who offered Abbas an unprecedented offer to which Abbas has yet to respond).The meeting between Abbas and the Meretz members comes several days after the latest meeting between Israeli and PA negotiators, as part of the current round of peace talks.So far, details of the discussions between the sides have not been revealed, apparently consistent with a request from Washington last week for a strict news blackout.At the same time, the PA’s chief negotiator Saeb Erekat  revealed, in an interview with the Nazareth-based Arabic language A-Shams radio station on Tuesday, that the PA would not have returned to the negotiating table with Israel had it not received a letter of assurances from the United States, guaranteeing its main negotiating preconditions.Erekat said in the interview that the U.S. had assured the PA in writing that talks would recognize the indefensible pre-1967 borders as the basis of a Palestinian state, would deal with all core issues (Jerusalem, refugees, borders, security and water), would take place within six  to nine months and would not allow for any interim solutions before a final status agreement is signed.

It is not clear whether he was at the mosque at the time of the attack.At the scene, ambulances rushed to the aftermath of the blasts and heavy black smoke covered the sky.Television captured the chaos showing numerous cars on fire, with their windows smashed, and people running through the streets trying to carry wounded people to safety.Bodies could be seen on the ground and windows were broken on surrounding apartment blocks.he bombs follow yesterday's assassination of the leading supporter of the Hezbollah terrorist group in Tripoli. Hassan al-Mouri was shot to death yesterday by a masked gunman.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz met Friday morning to discuss the rocket attack on northern Israel on Thursday.The IDF responded to the attack with an airstrike targeting a terror base south of Beirut.Yaalon warned, “The state of Israel sees the government of Lebanon as responsible for what happens in its territory… We are taking the rocket fire toward Israel yesterday very seriously.”“We will not allow anyone to disturb our citizens’ lives,” he added.The terrorist group hit by Thursday night’s IDF strike vowed revenge on Friday morning. “Our response will come at the right time, in the right place, not how the Zionist enemy wants,” said spokesman Ramez Mustafa.The Hezbollah television station Al Manar identified the targeted group as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a group that is also active in Judea and Samaria (Shomron) and in Gaza.

Netanyahu: We'll Hurt Whoever Hurts Us

Four rockets fired from Lebanon toward Israel; Iron Dome shot down one of them.

"We are operating on all fronts, in the north and south, in order to protect the citizens of Israel from these attacks,” Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Thursday in the aftermath of a Katyusha rocket salvo fired at northwestern Israel."We are using a variety of measures – of both defense and prevention – and we are operating in a responsible manner. Our policy is clear: to protect and also to prevent."Anyone who hurts us, and anyone who tries to hurt us, must know that we will hit him.”Four rockets were fired from Lebanon Thursday afternoon, with at least one confirmed as having struck in the area of Nahariya.Several residents have been treated for shock.IDF Radio reported that bomb shelters in the northern city of Akko (Acre) have been opened for public use, and the IDF is urging residents of the north to remain close to shelters.
The IDF has denied earlier reports from Arabic media that it responded to the rockets with artillery fire.
Lebanese media has been reporting that at least 2 of the rockets were fired from the Ras al-Ain neighborhood of the city of Tyre.The IDF spokesperson's unit has said it believes the rockets were fired by "global jihad" terrorists - another term for Al Qaeda-linked or inspired Sunni terroristsת as opposed to the Shia Hezbollah terrorist group.One rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, between Akko and Nahariya, the IDF said. Three others struck in "open areas."Earlier this month, four IDF soldiers suffered light to moderate injuries on the Israel-Lebanon border, when a bomb was set off as they passed.That attack was later claimed by Hezbollah.This would not be the first time Sunni Islamist groups affiliated with the "global jihad" or Al Qaeda ideology have fired rockets from Lebanon into Israel.Arieh Herzog, a former director of the Israeli defense ministry's Missile Defense Administration, warned "this kind of attack could provide (provoke) very serious action from our side."He stressed, however, that missile defence capabilities were "much better" than they had been during Israel's 2006 war in Lebanon against Iranian proxy Hezbollah."We don't have enough (Iron Dome) batteries... to cover each and every city in Israel," he told reporters."But there's been a big change since the second Lebanon war. At that time, many rockets fell on the northern part of Israel. Our defences are much better today than in the past."

According to University of Maryland researcher Phillip Smyth, the PFLP-GC is an ally of Hezbollah, and also serves as a proxy to Iran and Syrian President Bashar Assad in Lebanon.Friday’s foray into Lebanon came less than a day after four rockets fired from Lebanon struck Israel’s north. There were no reports of casualties, but damage was caused to several homes in the Nahariya and Acre areas. The red-alert siren sounded in the cities of Nahariya, Acre, Kiryat Shmona and Karmiel.Lebanese media reported that the IDF promptly retaliated, attacking targets in south Lebanon, but the army had previously denied those reports.

Syrian child refugees top 1 million

UN agencies say more than 700,000 registered child refugees under age of 11

The number of registered child refugees fleeing Syria's violence has topped the 1 million mark in another grim milestone of the deepening conflict, two UN agencies said Friday.Roughly half of all the nearly 2 million registered refugees from Syria are children, and some 740,000 of those are under the age of 11, according to the UN refugee and children's agencies."This one millionth child refugee is not just another number," said Anthony Lake, the head of UNICEF, the UN children's agency. "This is a real child ripped from home, maybe even from a family, facing horrors we can only begin to comprehend."The children's ordeals are not over once they escape Syria, said Antonio Guterres, the head of the Office for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, known as UNHCR."Even after they have crossed a border to safety, they are traumatized, depressed and in need of a reason for hope," he said.
His agency said it tries to ensure that babies born in exile are provided with birth certificates, preventing them from becoming stateless, and that all refugee families and children live in some form of safe shelter.

More than 3,500 children separated from families

But the threats to refugee children are rising, the agencies say, including child labour, early marriage and the potential for sexual exploitation and trafficking. More than 3,500 children in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq have crossed Syria's borders unaccompanied or separated from their families, according to the UN figures.
The agencies say some 7,000 children are among the more than 100,000 killed in the unrest in Syria, which began in March 2011 and later exploded into a civil war.Most of the refugees fleeing Syria have arrived in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. However, UN officials say that increasingly Syrians are fleeing to North Africa and Europe.The two UN agencies estimate that more than 2 million children also have been displaced within Syria.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Friday the real number of Syrian refugees is "well over 2 million" if unregistered refugees are counted."The situation in Syria continues to worsen. The humanitarian suffering is alarming. Sectarian tensions have been ignited. Regional instability is spreading," Ban said in a speech in Seoul, South Korea."It is heartbreaking to see all these young people, children and women and refugees, who do not have any means, any hope for their country," he said. "They do not know when they will be able to return to their country."

UN ignores EU calls for Syria inspections

22.08.13 @ 09:29
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - A late night meeting of the UN Security Council on Wednesday (21 August) failed to say weapons inspectors should get access to investigate claims of a mass-scale chemical attack in Syria.
The council's statement, read out by the acting chairman, Argentinian diplomat Maria Cristina Perceval, said only: "There is a strong concern among council members about the allegations and a general sense that there must be clarity on what happened, and that the situation has to be followed carefully."British foreign minister William Hague and France's Laurent Fabius had earlier called for direct UN access to the site of the alleged war crime after meeting Ahmed al-Jarba, the head of the Syrian National Coalition, a leading rebel group, in Paris.Fabius said al-Jarba claimed that 1,200 people were killed in the assault earlier on Wednesday in a Damascus suburb."I told him we have asked the security council to require the mission of Dr. Ake Sellstrom, which is currently present in Damascus, to be granted immediate access in order to establish the facts," the French minister said.An earlier EU statement, issued by foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, also noted: "Such accusations should be immediately and thoroughly investigated by the United Nations expert mission, which arrived recently in Syria."For their part, US diplomats circulated a text of a draft UN statement which, they said, was watered down by Syria's allies in the UN body, China and Russia.The draft text had called for the UN to "urgently take the steps necessary for today's attack to be investigated by the UN mission on the ground."The Sellstrom mission arrived in Syria on Sunday.But, following five months of negotiations on its mandate with the Syrian authorities, its actions will be limited to looking at three locations linked to 13 earlier allegations of chemical weapons use.Meanwhile, Israel and Turkey have given credence to the rebels' new claims.But Russia, as well as Syria's other main ally, Iran, have said the latest incident is a "provocation" staged by rebels in order to prompt Western military intervention.The allegations were supported by videos posted by rebel groups on YouTube.The videos show scores of dead bodies wrapped in shrouds in makeshift clinics, as well as men and children suffering from convulsions and disorientation.The alleged attack took place one year - almost to the day - after US President Barack Obama said that large scale use of chemical arms is a "red line" for US action.A White House statement on Wednesday made no mention of the red line, however."If the Syrian government has nothing to hide and is truly committed to an impartial and credible investigation of chemical weapons use in Syria, it will facilitate the UN team’s immediate and unfettered access to this site," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said instead."I’m not talking about red lines. I’m not having a debate or conversation about red lines or I’m not setting red lines. Let's talk, not talk, about red today," state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told press.The US also leaked a letter to the Associated Press news agency sent by its military chief, Martin Dempsey, to a US congressman, Eliot Engel, on 19 August, which spells out why it does not want to get involved.Dempsey said that if the US destroyed Syria's air force it would "would not be militarily decisive, but it would commit us decisively to the conflict."
He noted: "The use of US military force can change the military balance … but it cannot resolve the underlying and historic ethnic, religious and tribal issues that are fueling this conflict."He added: "It is my belief that the side we choose must be ready to promote their interests and ours when the balance shifts in their favour. Today, they are not."

EU diplomat: Both sides guilty in Egypt

19.08.13 @ 18:49
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - The EU's envoy to north Africa, Bernardino Leon, has said events in Egypt are "more complex" than a simple story of the army killing Muslim protesters.He told press in Brussels on Monday (19 August) the military has a "special responsibility."He also said media reports it has done the vast bulk of the killing - at least 800 people in the past few days, including some burned alive in tents or shot by snipers - are fair.But he added: "There are two sides. There is violence coming from all sides … We have seen attacks on Coptic churches and on public buildings. We've been saying very clearly that violence from both sides, from all sides, has to stop."He noted that EU ambassadors on Monday decided to call a snap meeting of foreign ministers on Wednesday.He said nobody has spoken of EU "sanctions" against the military regime so far.
But he indicated that an options paper to be drafted by the EU's foreign service is likely to contain a potential arms embargo and a block on EU pro-democracy funds.Leon underlined the importance of Egypt in terms of regional stability."Egypt is a key partner [for the EU], probably the most important partner in the Mediterranean," he said."We are convinced that a political solution is possible … We still think there are democratic forces and we will try to address them and keep working with them constructively," he added.
His words echoed British foreign minister William Hague on BBC radio earlier in the day.Hague said the UK will suspend some security projects with the Egyptian military and stop some arms exports.He noted: "What is happening now in the Middle East is the most important event so far of the 21st century … I think it will take years, maybe decades, to play out, and through that we have to keep our nerve in clearly supporting democracy."He added "our influence may be limited," however.For its part, Saudi Arabia, which, like the Egyptian armed forces, considers the Muslim Brotherhood movement as a threat, said also on Monday it is ready to compensate Egypt for lost EU aid."To those who have announced they are cutting their aid to Egypt, or threatening to do that, [we say] Arab and Muslim nations are rich ... and will not hesitate to help Egypt," its foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, said in a statement.Egypt's ambassador to the UK, Ashraf ElKholy, told The Telegraph newspaper that: "Europe is the conscience of the world."He added: "I think we are beginning to see recognition that the Muslim Brotherhood is involved in the violence from Europe's governments."Meanwhile, in another new twist, an Egyptian court on Wednesday acquitted former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak on a charge of corruption.The decision means he could be freed from prison this week, aggravating tension.

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
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;(ISRAEL) 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,(OIL IS IN 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.

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5  Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred,(AGAINST ISRAEL) and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
11  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

14  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.(ARAB,MUSLIMS)
15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir,(ARABS) and all Idumea,(ARAB,MUSLIMS) even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Russia slams calls to use force in Syria

Russia hit out Friday at calls for force to be used after Syria's opposition and European states accused the war-torn country's regime of killing hundreds in chemical weapons attacks.As the regime's international allies and foes traded barbs over the reported atrocity, US President Barack Obama said the alleged use of chemical weapons was "clearly a big event of grave concern".The UN children's agency UNICEF said, meanwhile, that one million Syrian children now live as refugees abroad as a result of the relentless fighting between rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.The opposition said the regime of Assad, an ally of Moscow, used chemical weapons east and southwest of Damascus in attacks Wednesday that killed hundreds of people.The regime denies it unleashed any chemical attacks.Harrowing footage distributed by activists showing unconscious children, people foaming around the mouth and doctors apparently giving them oxygen to help them breathe has triggered revulsion around the world.A day after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius urged a reaction "with force" if a massacre involving chemical weapons is confirmed, his British counterpart said his government believed Assad's regime was behind the attacks."We do believe this is a chemical attack by the Assad regime on a large scale, but we would like the United Nations to be able to assess that," said Britain's William Hague.His televised statement came after Russia's foreign ministry branded as "unacceptable" calls for use of force against the Damascus regime."Against the background of another anti-Syrian wave of propaganda, we believe calls from some European countries to apply pressure on the UN Security Council and already now take a decision on the use of force are unacceptable," the ministry said.It said evidence was mounting that the attack was "clearly provocative in nature" and that Internet footage said to implicate the regime had been posted before it took place. It also accused the rebels of "directly impeding an objective investigation" of the incident.Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a statement issued after he held a telephone conversation with his US counterpart John Kerry, said Moscow "called on the Syrian government to cooperate with the UN chemical experts".Lavrov also appealed for rebels to allow the UN inspectors on the ground in Syria probing three other suspected chemical attack sites safe access to areas where the latest alleged attacks occurred.Both Lavrov and Kerry agreed on the need for an "objective investigation," the Russian ministry said.UN chief Ban Ki-moon said there was "no time to lose" in probing the alleged attacks, and urged Damascus to allow the UN team in Syria to begin an investigation without delay.Obama said the latest opposition allegations of chemical weapons use were more serious than previous ones against Assad's regime."We are right now gathering information about this particular event," he said, while warning against the United States intervening hastily and getting "mired in very difficult situations".One year ago, Obama warned the use of chemical weapons in Syria would cross a "red line" and have "enormous consequences".Damascus has denied it unleashed chemical weapons, while playing down the likelihood of the UN team going to the area of the latest alleged attacks."On the international level, there is increasing conviction that if there was a chemical weapons attack, it was perpetrated by terrorists, but it may be that this is a great charade," a security official told AFP.
The UN inspectors on the ground "are working on a programme that has been set in advance," said the official.The opposition National Coalition says more than 1,300 people were killed in gas attacks southwest and east of the capital.An activist speaking to AFP from Moadamiyet al-Sham, the rebel-held town southwest of Damascus where the deadliest attack allegedly took place, said he helped bury dozens of civilians who died of "suffocation".Videos posted online by the activists have provoked shock and condemnation around the globe.None could be verified but AFP analysed one of the most striking images showing the bodies of children using specialised software.It showed the picture was not manipulated and was taken, as presented, on August 21.Experts said convulsions, pinpoint pupils and laboured breathing seen in the footage could be symptoms of nerve gas. But they insisted only blood and urine samples could provide definitive proof.The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been killed in Syria since its uprising flared in March 2011. Millions more have been forced to flee their homes.UNICEF said on Friday that one million Syrian children now live as refugees abroad, and two million more have been internally displaced."This one millionth child refugee is not just another number. This is a real child ripped from home, maybe even from a family, facing horrors we can only begin to comprehend," agency chief Anthony Lake said.UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi warned the conflict is "the biggest threat to peace and security in the world".

Putin warns Ukraine against EU pact

Today @ 09:06 AUG 23,13
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Ukraine he will take "protective measures" if it signs an EU free trade pact.Speaking on Thursday (22 August) at an economic forum in Rostov-on-Don, near Ukraine's eastern border with Russia, he said: "If our neighbours opt to significantly liberalise customs rules with the European Union, the Ukrainian market will inevitably be flooded with high quality goods … and Ukrainian goods will be forced out of the Ukrainian market."He added: "Then, member states of the Customs Union will have to think about protective measures. Such a possibility exists."The Customs Union includes Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia.But Moscow wants to pull in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan as well and to transform it into an EU-type "Eurasian Union" in the coming years.On the other side, the EU has offered to sign a political association and free trade pact with Ukraine in November if it improves rule of law.Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov is due in Russia for talks on trade on Monday.Putin's comments come in the wake of severe customs restrictions by Russian authorities between 14 and 20 August which caused a near standstill in Ukrainian road and rail imports.Russia in July also banned Ukraine's top chocolate brand, Roshen, saying it caused cancer, while Kazakhstan on 20 August banned Ukrainian eggs.An EU spokesman earlier this week said: "Any economic threat from Russia directed against Ukraine and linked with a possible signature of the association agreement with the EU is unacceptable."But another risk is that Russia will interrupt gas supplies to Ukraine when its autumn/winter heating season begins in October, as it did in 2009, in a move which also hit eastern EU countries which depend on Ukrainian gas transit.Meanwhile, Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych is in a tricky spot.If he goes against Putin, he risks losing the next elections due to pro-EU democratic reforms and Russian-inflicted economic pain.But if he joins the Customs Union, he risks undermining Ukrainian sovereignty and giving Russian oligarchs a free hand in his country.
