Israel to be First in World with F-35 Fighter Jets
Lockheed Martin Aircraft announces Israel will be the first nation to receive its F-35 stealth fighter jets.

F-35 Evader-Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin Aircraft Industries has announced that Israel will
be the first nation to receive its F-35 stealth fighter jets, the most
expensive weapon in U.S. history.The company’s vice president, Steve O’Bryan, made the announcement Tuesday at the Paris Air Show.The F-35 is a fifth-generation aircraft capable of evading radar and integrated air defense systems.There has been great competition for purchase of the aircraft, with
South Korea, Canada and other nations in the potential customer lineup.But an article published Wednesday in Britain’s The Globe and Mail
newspaper has raised the specter of cyber espionage in connection with
theft of the design data for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.Chinese military hackers have targeted U.S. government and big
business programs repeatedly over the past several years, a major
security issue that has only recently come under serious scrutiny by the
White House. And China is among those nations currently developing its
own fifth generation fighter jets. Russia is another.If in fact hackers managed to penetrate Lockheed Martin’s tight
security net and stole the sensitive design data for the new F-35
stealth fighter jet, rival firms will have a major advantage over the
U.S. in the market, Pentagon defense acquisitions chief Frank Kendall
told a Senate hearing on Wednesday."I’m not at all confident that our unclassified information is [as]
well-protected," he told the lawmakers. "A lot of that is being stolen
right now and it’s a major problem for us."
Ex-President Carter Seeks Weakened Sanctions on Terror Groups
Former President Jimmy Carter is spearheading an effort to convince the United States to weaken sanctions on terrorist groups.

Former President Jimmy Carter is spearheading an effort to convince the United States to weaken sanctions on terrorist groups,
The Hill reported. Carter and other foreign policy experts sent a petition to Secretary
of State John Kerry on Thursday, asking him to exempt peace groups from
policies that make it a crime to offer negotiation training and
humanitarian law
classes to terror groups.“The Secretary of State can, and should, exempt peacebuilding
activities from this counterproductive application of the law,” says the
petition, initiated by The Charity and
Security Network,
which, according to its website claims “to protect civil society’s
ability to carry out peacebuilding projects, humanitarian aid, and
development work effectively and in a manner consistent with human
rights principles and democratic values.”“Doing so would open
the door
for professional peacebuilders to fully engage in helping to end armed
conflicts and suffering around the world, while making the U.S. safer,”
the petition continues.The organization told The Hill that in the past, efforts to build bridges with the Taliban, Hamas and leftist guerillas in
Colombia have all been thwarted.A 2011 report by the UK-based Overseas Development Institute said
anti-terrorism laws passed in the decade since the Sept. 11,
2001 attacks have created bureaucratic red tape and fostered an
atmosphere of “fear” and “confusion” that has endangered the lives of
aid workers, The Hill reported.“Rigid and over-zealous application of counter-terrorism laws to
humanitarian action in conflict not only limits its reach in that
context,” the report concluded, “but undermines the independence and
neutrality of humanitarian organisations in general, and could become an
additional factor in the unravelling of the legitimacy and acceptance
of humanitarian response in many of the world’s worst humanitarian
crises.”
According to The Hill, the petition has been signed by more than two
dozen groups and former officials, including Mercy Corps; Andrew
Natsios, former administrator of the U.S. Agency for International
Development under President George W. Bush; retired Ambassador Thomas
Pickering; and Anne-Marie Slaughter, the Director of Policy Planning at
the State Department from 2009-2011.
Analysis: Palestinian leader faces stark choices
By KARIN LAUB and MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH | Associated Press – JUNE 21,13
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) —
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
is being propelled toward a stark choice that could come as soon as
next week, define his legacy and set the course for his people in a
decades-old conflict with
Israel.Abbas' aides fear he's being pushed by the U.S. into dropping his conditions for negotiating with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
That includes a stop in Israeli settlement construction or acceptance
that the basis of a future border is Israel's frontier before it
captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in a 1967 war.U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry
is returning next week for meetings with Abbas and Netanyahu, his fifth
since taking office this year. It's not clear if he'll present U.S.
ground rules for negotiation at that time. The sense in Palestinian
leadership circles is that there is no significant pressure on Netanyahu
to adopt the framework for talks accepted by his predecessor and that a
high-stakes choice cannot be delayed much longer.At the heart of the Palestinian
dilemma is that despite the American eagerness for talks and their own
desire to end Israel's 46-year-old occupation, they have low
expectations of negotiations with Netanyahu. Most
Palestinians
consider the Israeli leader a hard-line ideologue who intends to drag
out the process and never agree to anything close to terms they could
live with.Israel's current leaders "never believed in the two-state solution
... and will do everything on the ground to make it impossible to
achieve," said Abbas aide Nabil Shaath, a veteran negotiator with
Israel.Public opinion complicates the
situation: Fifty-six percent of Palestinians oppose a return to talks
under Israel's terms, said Palestinian pollster
Khalil Shikaki,
citing results from a yet-to-be-published survey. Shikaki's polls are
based on more than 1,200 respondents, with an error margin of 3
percentage points.Signaling the apprehension, top
Abbas aides are already working on a day-after strategy for fighting
attempts to hold Abbas responsible for a failure of the U.S. initiative.
And a top think tank in the West Bank has run through a dozen scenarios
in the aftermath of an inadvertent collapse of the
Palestinian Authority, Abbas' self-rule government, which some consider possible if the status quo continues.Netanyahu has said he supports the idea of
Palestinian statehood,
but stripped of east Jerusalem and key areas of the West Bank, and with
a series of restrictions — parameters the Palestinians reject and which
fall far short of previous Israeli proposals under Netanyahu's
predecessors.Kerry's peace proposal is expected to include financial aid to the
Palestinians, security guarantees to Israel and assurances to the
Palestinians that talks will be substantive.
There were hints this week that Abbas won't budge. The president's
office said members of his Fatah movement urged him not to succumb to
pressure. In that meeting, Fatah also prepared for damage control,
naming four senior members to devise a plan to deflect expected
international blame for saying "no" to Kerry.
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair warned this week that if
Kerry's mission fails, the window of opportunity for a deal "could close
forever."Such warnings have been sounded repeatedly over 20 years of
intermittent negotiations, but there's a growing sense that the door may
really be closing.U.S. mediation is key to success, but presidents from Bill Clinton to
George W. Bush and now Barack Obama have held off any serious push
until their second terms, when they were less concerned about
re-election. If Kerry fails, the next opportunity might only come around
in eight years.By that time, a partition of the land may no longer be possible.
Nearly 600,000 Israelis already live in the West Bank and east
Jerusalem, and Netanyahu has refused to stop building. Instead, there's
been a record number of housing starts in settlements this year and
thousands more apartments are in the pipeline, some deep in the West
Bank.The issue is deeply controversial in
Israel
itself, where Netanyahu critics believe partition is essential for
Israel's own survival, because without it Jews will not for long be a
majority in the areas Israel controls.Last month, a group of mid-level Fatah activists, disillusioned after
two decades of failed negotiations, urged Abbas to pursue a single
state for Israelis and Palestinians between the Mediterranean and the
Jordan River — essentially asking Israel to annex war-won lands. Israel
withdrew troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005, but Palestinians
consider it still occupied because Israel controls access.Palestinians must start pushing for equal rights in such a state, said Radi Jerayi, an ex- Fatah official.Abbas has warned Israelis they might end up with a bi-national state —
but that's been meant scare them into serious negotiations.The single state idea hasn't caught on, largely because it runs
counter to nationalism on both sides. Even with the lure of equal rights
within the entirety of historical Palestine, only 30 percent of
Palestinians would prefer that option, Shikaki said.For Abbas, dropping the two-state option would mean conceding defeat
to his nemesis, the Islamic militant Hamas, which seized Gaza from him
in 2007, dismisses negotiations as foolish and wants to swallow up
Israel in an Islamic state.
The Palestinians have said that without negotiations they would move
against Israel at the U.N. Last year, the General Assembly recognized a
state of Palestine in the 1967 lines, overriding U.S. and Israeli
objections and giving the Palestinians a largely symbolic victory.Earlier this month, Abbas aide Saeb Erekat said the Palestinians
might pursue war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court, in
connection with settlement building, if negotiations don't resume.Going to the ICC is Abbas' most popular option, even if Israel and
the U.S. Congress retaliate by cutting funding to the Palestinian
Authority, Shikaki said."Almost three-quarters (of respondents) say, go to the ICC,
regardless of what happens, even if it leads to the collapse of the
Palestinian Authority," Shikaki said. "It is one way they can shake the
status quo, which they reject."The self-rule government, which feeds hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians as the largest employer in the West Bank, would find it
hard to survive without foreign aid and millions of dollars in taxes
Israel collects for the Palestinians every month.Shikaki's think tank, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey
Research, recently hosted a dozen workshops with experts to look at the
aftermath of a collapse of the self-rule government. Participants
predicted tremendous poverty, mass emigration, chaos and a return to the
gang rule of the previous decade.Yet they also noted an upside, Shikaki said: "This then becomes an Israeli problem."___Laub, chief correspondent for the Palestinian territories, has

Israeli police: Jewish man shot dead at holy site
By TIA GOLDENBERG | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago JUNE 21,13
JERUSALEM (AP) — A private security guard shot and killed a Jewish man at a key Jerusalem holy site Friday, Israeli police said, after the man reportedly shouted in Arabic.Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the guard "fired a number of shots" at the man, a 46-year-old Israeli, who appeared suspicious. The guard told police the man shouted "Allahu Akbar"
— "God is great!" in Arabic — and had his hands in his pockets. Arab
militants often shout that phrase before carrying out an attack.The guard said he opened fire because he suspected the man had a
weapon in his pocket and thought he may be about to launch an attack,
the police spokesman said. When asked if a weapon was found on the man's
body, Rosenfeld said he had no more details.Police identified the man as an Israeli Jew but did not release his name.Rosenfeld told The Associated Press that the guard was questioned
after the shooting, and he was scheduled to appear in court later Friday
to determine whether he will remain in police custody.Israel Radio reported the guard was 25 years old and that he worked as a security guard for more than a year.The incident at the Western Wall highlighted smoldering tensions in
the area. The site is an outside wall of a disputed hilltop compound
that has been a flashpoint for clashes between Israelis and
Palestinians, although in recent years that violence has been relatively
muted.The hilltop is one of the region's most sensitive sites. It is revered by Jews as the Temple Mount, where the two biblical Jewish Temples stood. The Western Wall,
a remnant of Temple compound, is the holiest site where Jews can pray.
Muslims call the compound the Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary,
marking the place where they believe the Prophet Muhammad ascended to
heaven.
Israeli media said the man was a regular visitor to the holy site,
describing him as an "eccentric" who was known to act strangely."I don't understand why he was shot. Everyone here knows him and his
behavior. He has often acted nervously. What happened here isn't
normal," David Dahan, who was at the site at the time of the shooting,
told the Israeli news site YNet.The incident unfolded at the rear of the large plaza in front of the Western Wall, away from worshippers.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,

Putin criticizes arms supplies to Syrian rebels
Reuters – 30 mins ago JUNE 21,13
ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) -
President Vladimir Putin on Friday defended
Russian arms supplies to
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and said the West should not deliver weapons to rebel forces because they include "terrorist" groups."If the
United States
... recognizes one of the key Syrian opposition organizations,
al-Nusra, as terrorist ... how can one deliver arms to those opposition
members?" Putin said in an appearance with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel at a Russian economic forum."Where will (those weapons) end up? What role will they play?" he said.France proposed in May that the
United Nations declare the al-Nusra Front a
terrorist organization,
to differentiate it from other Syrian rebel groups. The United States
did so last year and says the group is little more than a front for al
Qaeda.U.S. President
Barack Obama decided a week ago to provide military aid to rebels trying to overthrow Assad, citing use of
chemical weapons by government forces.Russia has been Assad's most powerful foreign protector during a
conflict that has killed at least 93,000 people since it began in March
2011.Putin reiterated Russia's statement that it is violating no laws by
providing arms to a standing government and suggested it was foreign
supporters of Syrian rebels who were doing that."It's clear that without deliveries from abroad, what is happening
in Syria now would simply be impossible. Money is going in, weapons are
going in, and well trained armed groups are going in," Putin said.(Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska; Editing by Steve Gutterman and Robin Pomeroy)

BEIRUT (AP) — The Lebanese army says a rocket has slammed into a valley near the Lebanese capital in an attack that raises fears that violence related to the civil war in neighboring Syria could be spreading from the border area.An army statement says the rocket landed in the Jamhour area, south of Beirut. Two rocket launchers still holding one rocket were found about 10 miles (15 kilometers) to the north of the city.The explosion reverberated across large parts of the capital and surrounding areas early Friday.Last month, two rockets slammed into a Hezbollah stronghold south of
Beirut, wounding four. The rockets struck hours after the Hezbollah
leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah vowed in a speech to help propel Assad to
victory in Syria's civil war.
Lebanese army seals parliament after protests, Syria-linked tension

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The
Lebanese army sealed off
Beirut's
parliamentary district with razor wire and threatened stern action
against violence on Friday after a night of unrest stoked by the war in
Syria and political paralysis at home.Around 100
protesters,
angered by the postponement of June's parliamentary election until next
year, scuffled with police on Thursday night near parliament. Twenty
camped out overnight outside the ring of barbed wire, vowing to maintain
the protest.As the largely peaceful
demonstration unfolded in central Beirut, protesters blocked roads with
burning tires elsewhere in the capital and in Bekaa Valley towns in
eastern Lebanon.Demonstrators said they were
acting in solidarity with residents of the Sunni Muslim Bekaa town of
Arsal, which they say has been cut off by
security forces investigating the shooting of four Shi'ite Muslim men on Sunday.Sectarian violence has intensified across
Lebanon
and particularly in the Bekaa region because of the conflict raging
across the border in Syria, where Lebanon's Shi'ite militia Hezbollah
and Lebanese Sunni gunmen have joined opposing sides of the 27-month-old
civil war.Rockets from suspected Syrian rebel positions have hit Shi'ite towns
in Lebanon since Hezbollah intervened decisively to recapture the
Syrian border town of Qusair for President Bashar al-Assad's forces
earlier this month.
The army also discovered a rocket launcher in an area east of Beirut
on Friday. The rocket was still in place, and apparently had not gone
off due to a technical fault, a security source said.The fighting in Syria has already driven half a million Syrian
refugees into Lebanon and worsened a political stalemate which forced
the election delay and held up efforts to form a new government. Former
Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, a Sunni leader, warned this week of the
potential for "state collapse".President Michel Suleiman has appealed to Hezbollah to bring its fighters home from Syria,
saying that further entanglement there by the Iranian-backed movement
will fuel instability in Lebanon, still scarred by its own 1975-1990
civil war.
ARMY WILL CONFRONT "OUTLAWS"
The army said several military posts and patrols were targeted on
Thursday night by protesters, some of them armed, and four soldiers were
wounded in exchanges of gunfire.Security sources said at least two demonstrators were hurt in a protest near the main border crossing with Syria at Masnaa."The army leadership again urges citizens to be calm and not to
follow rumors and sectarian emotions," the military said in a statement.
"It will not be lenient in confronting with force any outlaws or those
who harm the armed forces."The statement said gunmen fired on army posts in three towns close
to the Masnaa border crossing early on Friday. The army returned fire
and arrested 22 suspects in raids following the incidents.Travelers trying to reach Lebanon from Syria on Friday morning said
the frontier was closed for several hours due to the skirmishes, but
reopened later in the day.Army commander General Jean Kahwaji was quoted by the local As-Safir
newspaper as saying the military would not tolerate any threats to
Lebanon's security during what he described as "very critical and very
difficult" times.In central Beirut, activists said they would keep up their protest
against the 17-month extension of parliament, agreed by politicians
after they failed to break a deadlock over planned changes to the
electoral law."We called for a protest yesterday against the extension and against
the violation on Lebanon's democracy," protester Marwan Maalouf said.
"This is a new coup against the republic."Security forces used force against the protesters so we decided to
set up tents here in a peaceful way to protest the extension. There is a
year and a half, we won't let them rest."

Thousands rally for 'legitimate' Mursi in Cairo
By Tom Perry and Alastair Macdonald | Reuters – 2 hrs 10 mins ago JUNE 21,13
By Tom Perry and Alastair Macdonald
CAIRO (Reuters) - Thousands of Islamist supporters of
Egypt's President
Mohamed Mursi gathered in
Cairo
after Friday prayers to show support for the elected head of state
ahead of protests his opponents hope can force him from office.Crowds converged on a mosque in the suburb of Nasser City, many
waving the national flag, some carrying pictures of the bearded
president, in what is intended to demonstrate the Islamists' strength of
numbers ahead of opposition rallies set for June 30, the first
anniversary of Mursi's inauguration."Yes to respecting the will of the people!" read banners."There are people seeking a coup
against the lawful order," said demonstrator Gaber Nader, 22, his head
protected from the burning early afternoon sun by a green banner from
Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, the movement whose organizational strength
won it successive elections since the fall of
Hosni Mubarak."Dr. Mursi won in free and fair elections like in any state in the
world," Nader said, shrugging off concerns among the less well organized
opposition that the Brotherhood is aiming for a monopoly of power and
to install Islamic rule and social order."The secular parties are eating the democracy that God gave them," he added. "The secularists are not respecting democracy."Secular groups say they have gathered some 13 million signatures -
almost equal to the number of votes that elected Mursi a year ago - on a
petition calling on him to step down.They plan mass rallies across
Egypt
on June 30 and have attracted support from many Egyptians less
politically motivated but exasperated by economic stagnation under Mursi
and the Islamist-led legislature.Reflecting a sense their electoral success is under siege from
unelected institutions and vested interests rooted in the Mubarak-era,
when their party was banned, some in Friday's crowd - mostly men, with a
few women, heavily veiled - chanted for "A purge of the judiciary!" and
"A purge of the media!"There was no trouble evident around the crowd of well over 10,000 in
Cairo, but state newspaper al-Ahram carried a report on its website
from the second city of Alexandria saying there had been some violence
between pro- and anti-Mursi factions.
OPPOSITION FRUSTRATION
Opposition groups range from the young liberals who first took to
Tahrir Square in January 2011 to challenge Mubarak, to conservatives
yearning for the stability of army rule. Many in Egypt's 10-percent
Christian minority also fear the Islamists.Mohamed ElBaradei, the former top U.N. diplomat who is a leader of
the opposition "Rebel!" campaign, told Al-Hayat newspaper that economic
problems, including power cuts as summer heat takes hold, were fuelling
support for a movement which he said hoped to end the "total
polarization in Egypt".ElBaradei said a united opposition push could bring an early
presidential election that would unseat Mursi, though he himself would
not run: "The division of the opposition put Mursi in power and I
believe it has realized this mistake," he said.Tensions between Mursi's supporters and opponents spilled over into
violence outside Cairo this week. Around 100 people have been injured in
scattered skirmishes triggered by Mursi's decision to appoint more
Islamists as provincial governors.Rhetoric has grown more toxic in recent days: one Islamist cleric
referred to Mursi's opponents as "infidels" during a rally attended by
the president last week. The opposition are billing it as Mursi's last
days in office, hoping for a repeat of the uprising that toppled Mubarak
two and half years ago.But Egypt's biggest Salafi Islamist force, the Nour Party, is not
taking part. It warns of "an imminent collision" between Egyptians and
called on both sides to give ground - Mursi by appointing a cabinet for
national unity and the opposition by switching its focus to elections
from street protests.(Additional reporting by Shadia Nasralla, writing by Alastair Macdonald)
Iran state TV lauds new president's nuke stance
Associated Press – 20 mins ago JUNE 21,13
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's
president-elect believes it's possible to strike a deal that would
allow the country to keep enriching uranium while assuring the West it
will not produce a nuclear weapon.That's according to remarks by Hasan Rowhani from an interview recorded four months ago and rerun on Iranian state TV on Friday.In the interview, Rowhani said his government would look for a win-win deal to resolve the disputes with the United States.He also suggested that under his presidency, Iran would seek to
convince the U.S. and its allies that dialogue and not sanctions are the
way forward.The broadcast appears to be intended to underline Rowani's pledge to
follow a "path of moderation" and pursue greater openness over Iran's
nuclear program.He is set to take office in August.
Brazil leaders to meet as protests, violence grow
By JENNY BARCHFIELD and BRADLEY BROOKS | Associated Press – 1 hr 18 mins ago JUNE 21,13
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil
awoke Friday to city centers still smoldering after a night that
shocked the nation: 1 million protesters took to the streets in scores
of cities, with clusters clashing violently with police during
anti-government demonstrations.President Dilma Rousseff,
a standoffish leader who has been virtually mute in the face of the
most violent protests in recent memory, called a meeting with top
Cabinet members. She faced sharp criticism in Brazil's media for what many called her lack of any leadership.
It was not clear what action her government might take or if she
would appear before the nation to give an address. There were growing
calls on social media and in emails for a general strike next week.Standing before the battered government building he presides over, Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota
said he "was very angry" that protesters attacked a structure "that
represents the search for understanding through dialogue." Patriota
called for protesters "to convey their demands peacefully""I believe that the great majority of the protesters are not taking
part in this violence and are instead looking to improve Brazil's
democracy via legitimate forms of protest," Patriota said.Despite the violence, the majority of protesters have been peaceful.
In massive demonstrations through this week, as small groups began to
vandalize, crowds would often turn and start to chant, "No violence! No
violence!"But the pattern in cities across this continent-sized nation has been
that once night falls, the violence begins. Protesters and police
clashed in several cities into the early hours Friday, as people vented
anger over a litany of complaints, from high taxes to corruption to
rising prices.At least one protester was killed in Sao Paulo
state when a car rammed into a crowd of demonstrators after the driver
apparently became enraged about being unable to drive along a street.
In
Rio de Janeiro,
where an estimated 300,000 demonstrators poured into the seaside city's
central area, running clashes played out between riot police and
clusters of mostly young men with T-shirts wrapped around their faces.
But peaceful protesters were caught up in the fray, too, as police fired
tear gas canisters into their midst and at times indiscriminately used
pepper spray.Thundering booms echoed off stately colonial buildings as rubber bullets and gas were fired at fleeing crowds.At least 40 people were injured in Rio, including protesters like
Michele Menezes,
a wisp of a woman whose youthful face and braces belie her 26 years.
Bleeding and with her hair singed from the explosion of a tear gas
canister, she said she and others took refuge from the violence in an
open bar, only to have a police officer toss the canister inside.The blast ripped through Menezes' jeans, tearing two coin-sized holes
on the back of her thighs, and peppered her upper arm with a rash of
small holes."I was leaving a peaceful protest and it's not the thugs that attack
me but the police themselves," said Menezes, removing her wire-rim
glasses to wipe her bloodshot eyes.She later took refuge in a hotel, along with about two dozen youths,
families and others who said they had been repeatedly hit with pepper
spray by motorcycle police as they also sheltered inside a bar.Protesters said they would not back down."I saw some pretty scary things, but they're not going to shake me.
There's another march on the 22nd and I'm going to be there," said
19-year-old university student Fernanda Szuster.
Asked if her parents knew she was joining in the protests, Szuster
said: "They know and they're proud. They also protested when they were
young. So they think it's great."She added, though, that she wouldn't tell her father the details of
the police violence. "If he knew, he would never let me leave the house
again."In
Brasilia,
the national capital, police struggled to keep hundreds of protesters
from invading the Foreign Ministry and the crowd set a small fire
outside. Other government buildings were attacked around the city's
central esplanade. There, too, police used tear gas and rubber bullets
trying to scatter demonstrators.Clashes were also reported in the Amazon jungle city of Belem, Porto Alegre in the south, the university town Campinas north of
Sao Paulo and the northeastern city of Salvador."This was meant to be a peaceful demonstration and it is," artist
Wanderlei Costa, 33, said in Brasilia. "It's a shame some people cause
trouble when there is a much bigger message behind this movement. Brazil
needs to change, not only on the government level, but also on the
grass-roots level. We have to learn to demonstrate without violence."The protests took place one week after a violent police crackdown on a
much smaller demonstration against an increase in bus and subway fares
in Sao Paulo galvanized Brazilians to take their grievances to the
streets.The unrest is hitting the nation as it hosts the Confederations Cup
soccer tournament, with tens of thousands of foreign visitors in
attendance. It also comes one month before Pope Francis is scheduled to
visit Brazil, and ahead of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, raising
concerns about how Brazilian officials will provide security.Mass protests have been rare in this country of 190 million people in
recent years, and the mushrooming demonstrations of the past week
caught Brazilian government officials by surprise while delighting many
citizens."I think we desperately need this, that we've been needing this for a
very, very long time," said Paulo Roberto Rodrigues da Cunha, a
63-year-old clothing store salesman in Rio.Despite the energy on the street, many protesters said they were
unsure how the movement would win real political concessions. People in
the protests have held up signs asking for everything from education
reforms to free bus fares while denouncing the billions of public
dollars spent on stadiums in advance of the World Cup and the Olympics."We pay a lot of money in taxes, for electricity, for services, and
we want to know where that money is," said Italo Santos, a 25-year old
student who joined a rally by 5,000 protesters at Salvador's Campo Grand
Square."This is the start of a structural change in Brazil," said Aline
Campos, a 29-year-old publicist in Brasilia. "People now want to make
sure their money is well spent, that it's not wasted through
corruption."___Brooks reported from Sao Paulo. Associated Press writers Marco Sibaja

In Turkey's pious heartland, protests seem world away
By Jonathon Burch | Reuters – 4 mins 25 secs ago JUNE 21,13
By Jonathon Burch
KONYA,
Turkey
(Reuters) - "This Nation Is With You" declares a small billboard in the
center of this conservative central Turkish city, the words emblazoned
on an image of
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and a sea of his flag-waving supporters.
Cosmopolitan Istanbul or the avenues of the capital Ankara, rattled by weeks of anti-government protest, seem a world away from
Konya, an industrial city in Turkey's pious Anatolian heartland, where support for the premier appears resolute.The wave of riots has highlighted an underlying tension in Turkish
society between a modern, secular middle-class, many living in Istanbul
or on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and a more conservative,
religious population that forms the bedrock of support for Erdogan's
Islamist-rooted
AK Party.Konya, a city of 1.1 million with a dynamic economy steeped in Islamic tradition, epitomizes Erdogan's reformist vision.Few restaurants serve alcohol, the Islamic headscarf is more in
evidence than in the main cities, and tourists are drawn to the tomb of
Rumi, a 13th century Sufi mystic, rather than to any wild nightlife.But it is also modernizing fast. One of the "Anatolian Tigers",
cities whose small industries have flourished under a decade of AK Party
rule, Konya's highways have been widened and a fast train line has put
Ankara less than two hours away.There is little sympathy here for the protesters of
Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir, the country's three biggest cities and the main centers of unrest."There is no other party to vote for but the AK Party. Eighty percent of Konya thinks the same as me, go and ask them," said
Yasar Bilen, a central heating salesman who has seen business thrive over the past ten years.A pious self-made entrepreneur, Bilen, in his 60s, has prospered like many of Erdogan's grassroots supporters."I have changed the car I drive, I have changed the house I live in,
I have changed my lifestyle, I have changed the education of my
children, I have changed the shoes and clothes I wear," he said, a black
and white picture on his wall of himself with a young Erdogan in 1974."The AKP has worked hard and lifted us out of a quagmire."
ECONOMIC BOOM
Erdogan could hardly have put it better himself.His forceful, emotional style and common touch have won him
unprecedented support in the conservative heartland, enabling him to
dominate Turkish politics like no leader since
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who founded the modern republic 90 years ago.He has made many democratic reforms, taming a military that toppled
four governments in four decades, starting entry talks with the European
Union and forging peace talks with Kurdish rebels to end a near 30-year
war.Per capita income has tripled in nominal terms and business boomed, with the Anatolian Tigers reaping much of the benefit.On the electoral map, nearly all of Turkey - apart from the Aegean
coast, the mainly Kurdish southeast corner and a small region on the
European continent - is AK Party orange.So Erdogan takes the protests as a personal affront.But even in AK strongholds, his domineering leadership style and
what is seen as his meddling in private lives is beginning to grate -
from his declaration of a non-alcoholic yoghurt as the national drink
over the potent aniseed spirit raki, to his suggestion that women should
bear three children.
There were two or three small protests in Konya in the early days of
the unrest, but unlike demonstrations elsewhere, the police stepped in
not to break the group up but to protect the protesters from
stick-wielding gangs."Am I completely happy with Erdogan? Of course not," said Sinasi
Celik, 46, a waiter in the city of Nevsehir, some 200 km (120 miles)
east of Konya. "I don't like his 'I do what I want' style ... There's
been too much pressure over personal things like how many kids we should
have."But I'll tell you, the election outcome here, it wouldn't change.
Because before, there were no roads, no proper hospitals. It's different
now, people are better off."
OVERBEARING
A small-scale environmental protest in late May over government plans to develop an
Istanbul park quickly spread into the broadest show of public defiance against Erdogan's government during his decade in power.
Police fired teargas and water cannon to disperse stone-throwing
protesters night after night in cities including Istanbul and Ankara,
unrest in which four people died and some 7,500 suffered injuries
ranging from cuts to breathing difficulties, according to the Turkish
Medical Association.The protesters saw his plan to build a replica Ottoman-era barracks
on one of central Istanbul's few remaining green spaces as symptomatic
of an arrogant and overbearing government, the final straw after
restrictions on alcohol sales and a police show of force to prevent May
Day demonstrations a month earlier.Those who took to the streets were from all walks of life - doctors
and lawyers to leftists and nationalists - but they were predominantly
young, often too young to remember the series of military coups and
crumbling coalition governments that preceded the AK Party, when Turkey
was an economic backwater."They want to take our nation back to the dark ages," said Naci, a
77-year old retired civil servant and resident of Nevsehir, a smaller
central Anatolian town."I want to ask those protesters: let's say Erdogan is gone. Who will
replace him? That (Kemal) Kilicdaroglu? He can't even manage a
building, let alone govern a nation," he said of the leader of the
opposition Republican People's Party (CHP).It is a question even the Istanbul protesters have struggled to
answer. The AK Party's dominance derives, at least in part, from a lack
of robust opposition. The center-left CHP has been largely sidelined
from government since the 1970s and now holds just 134 seats in the
550-seat parliament.
For the protesters of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, that leaves the AK
Party free to impose its will, which many fear includes an agenda of
creeping Islamisation.In Konya, there is little sense of such a threat. Instead, many see
in Erdogan a liberator after decades of militantly secularist rule in a
nation of 76 million people, the overwhelming majority of whom are
Muslims."If there's interference in anyone's life then it is the Muslims of
this country that have suffered ... Headscarved girls could not go to
university, bearded men could not get employment in state institutions.
On the other side, anyone wearing a mini skirt and high heels, no-one
said a word," said Bilen."Those that say there is oppression are lying."(Additional reporting by Humeyra Pamuk in Nevsehir; Writing by Nick Tattersall; Editing by Peter Graff)

Indebted countries see borrowing costs edge up
Associated Press – 56 mins ago JUNE 21,13
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) —
Europe's
indebted countries could face higher borrowing costs after the
U.S. Federal Reserve indicated it would start phasing out its
stimulus program.
Low interest rates and creation of new money by the
Fed
helped push down rates on bonds around the world — including those of
Portugal, Italy and Spain. The fear is that the end of stimulus will
reverse that.Higher interest costs could make it harder for governments to reduce the debts that have plagued Europe.Borrowing rates edged higher Thursday as the Fed's new message made stocks and bonds plunge worldwide, but they steadied Friday.
Even though analysts say it's hard to predict how much rates might
rise, borrowing costs remain far below last year's levels when people
feared the eurozone might break up.
Eurozone bailout fund to prop up banks from 2014
Today @ 08:45 JUNE 21,13
By
Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - The eurozone's bailout fund
will be able to directly prop up weak banks from next year, after
ministers reached agreement on Thursday night (20 June)Under the deal agreed by the bloc's finance ministers in Luxembourg,
€60 billion out of the European Stability Mechanism's €500 billion
lending capacity will be allocated to bank recapitalization.Klaus Regling, the German managing director of the ESM, indicated
that the direct recap instrument would be ready in the second quarter
of 2014, in time for the next round of 'stress tests' on Europe's banks
and before the European Central Bank assumes its new duties as
supervisor of the eurozone banking sector. He described the €60 billion
as "more than sufficient".Member states seeking to utilise the new instrument would have to
stump up 20 percent of the recapitalization costs. Governments would
also be required to inject extra funds to bring banks up to the 4.5
percent minimum capital buffer.
The formal guidelines for the recap instrument will be drawn up on
the basis of the rules on bank recovery and resolution currently under
discussion with ministers and MEPs.Ministers agreed "one of the building blocks of banking union," said
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the Eurogroup, at the press conference
following the talks.He also left open the prospect of the eurozone's four bailout countries being allowed to use the new facility."It will have to be decided case-by-case and by mutual agreement," he
said, adding that "it's up to the member states to apply for it."The agreement brings a close to a year of tortuous negotiations on
one of the main tools in breaking the links between indebted banks and
governments. Ireland and Spain were pushed to the point of bankruptcy as
a result of guaranteeing the debts accrued by their private banks.
German finance minister, Wolfgang Schaueble, who had led resistance
to allowing the bailout fund to directly support banks, called the move
an "important step on the way to the banking union by agreeing on the
main points for a future regime for direct bank recapitalization."For his part, EU economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn welcomed what he described as "serious progress on direct bank recap"."We have taken another step to…break the vicious link between banks and sovereigns by diluting the link between them," he added.
Ministers also backed Latvia's bid to become the eighteenth member of
the single currency in January 2014, with EU leaders expected to
confirm the decision at next week's summit.
Deal on EU budget in doubt
20.06.13 @ 16:51
By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - A tentative agreement on the
EU's long term budget (2014-2020) has been thrown into doubt less than
12 hours after it was supposedly agreed, as MEPs line up to suggest that
the Irish EU presidency has overplayed its hand.No sooner had Irish deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore released a
statement saying that negotiations had been "concluded" were MEPs
rushing to twitter and their press offices to denounce what they saw as
an attempt to steamroller them into a deal.Reimer Boege, a German centre-right deputy on the parliament's negotiating team, went so far as to resign.He issued a statement early on Thursday morning (20 June) referring
to an "alleged agreement" and said he could not offer his "binding
support for, let alone defence of, the present texts.""That is why I decided to lay down my post as rapporteur for the
multi-annual financial framework, a position I held since 2004," he
said.Austrian Socialist MEP Hannes Swoboda referred to "blackmail" by the
EU presidency, representing member states, and said there had not been
enough progress on one of the MEPs' key demands - flexibility to allow
unspent money to be used elsewhere rather than flowing back to member
states.Guy Verhofstadt, a Belgian liberal MEP, said "there is still no
agreement" and criticised the scope of the proposed budget revision
clause, saying parliament does not want to be locked into a
"straitjacket."Negotiations were carried out with the Irish presidency and the
parliament's main budget MEPs, including the lead negotiator Alain
Lamassoure, a French centre-right deputy.Ireland's Gilmore was careful to say that the agreement had been reached with Lamassoure.
"It's he who reached agreement with the Irish presidency last night,"
said one contact. "It's up to him to go and present to the rest of MEPs
now."Ivailo Kalfin, a Bulgarian Socialist and one of the negotiators
present at the lengthy talks on Wednesday, told this website that “at
one point” the Irish presidency said it “could go no further.”“What was on the table was also beyond our mandate,” said Kalfin. He
added that Lamassoure was of the “personal opinion” that the compromise
should be accepted.Lamassoure, for his part, was careful in how he presented the deal.He told AFP that "certain members of the European parliament's
delegation have serious reservations, so that is why I could not give
the agreement of the whole parliament."Matters are set to come to a head next Tuesday (25 June). By then
political groups are to decide whether to give the green light to the
compromise and put it on the voting agenda for plenary in July - where a
majority (375) of MEPs have to give their consent.Gilmore wants an answer before he presents the deal to his counterparts at a meeting in Luxembourg.Kalfin, for his part, said he was “unsure” whether the socialists will be able to decide by then.MEPs' chief complaints - aside from arguing that the overall sum of
€960 billion is too small - is that the budget is too inflexible and
focused on the wrong policy areas.One contact noted that it was difficult to tell how MEPs will vote:
"After all my years here, I find it difficult to read the parliament.
There are so many different groups and issues involved."

in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand has passed 500.The state's Chief Minister, Vijay Bahuguna, said 556 bodies
had been seen floating or buried in "slush", and that the army was
working to recover them.The charity Action Aid says 5,000 people are missing in the area.Many of those stranded in the mountainous region are Hindu pilgrims visiting local shrines.The worst affected area is around the holy town of Kedarnath.The Indian Army is leading rescue efforts. The authorities say troops have yet to reach some remote mountain areas.Indian Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said more than 33,000
pilgrims had been rescued in the past few days, but at least 50,000
people were still stranded.
The state capital Dehradun is the base for relief efforts
Earlier on Friday, 40 bodies were recovered from the river
Ganges in the temple town of Haridwar, according to local police
official Rajiv Swaroop.Haridwar is downstream from the region where heavy rains on Sunday night triggered flash floods and landslides.Flood-related deaths have also been reported in Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh states and neighbouring Nepal.The monsoon season generally lasts from June to September,
bringing rain which is critical to farming, but this year the rain in
the north of India and parts of Nepal has been far heavier than usual.
'Shocked'State Agriculture Minister Harak Singh Rawat, who had visited
the Kedarnath area, described the floods as the "worst tragedy of the
millennium"."It will take us at least five years to recover from the
extensive damages caused to the entire infrastructure network in the
Kedarnath area which is the worst affected," the Press Trust of India
quoted him as saying.Mr Rawat said he was "shocked" to see the extent of the damage caused to the buildings and area adjoining the shrine.
"The centre of faith has turned into a burial ground. Bodies
are scattered in the area. Only the sanctum sanctorum is intact," he
added.Officials say the rains in Uttarakhand have been the heaviest
in 60 years and the floods have flattened hotels and homes and washed
away roads and dozens of bridges.Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the situation
there as "distressing" and announced a 10bn rupee ($170m; £127m) aid
package for the state.
Bodies pulled from Ganges as India monsoon toll rises
By Manan Vatsyayana | AFP – 1 hour 39 minutes ago JUNE 21,13
Rescue workers recovered scores of bodies from the
Ganges river in northern India on Friday, as the death toll from flash
floods and landslides topped 200, with thousands of mainly pilgrims and
tourists still stranded.
Helicopters and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to rescue
more than 50,000 people from religious sites, almost one week after
floods and landslides from torrential monsoon rains struck the Himalayan
state of Uttarakhand, a government minister said.More than 200 people have been killed in the disaster after raging
rivers swept away houses, buildings and even entire villages, and
destroyed bridges and narrow roads leading to pilgrimage towns high in
the mountains, the minister said.But the death toll is likely to rise, as flood waters recede showing
the extent of the devastation and rescue workers reach more isolated
areas of the state, known as the "Land of the Gods" for its revered
Hindu shrines and temples."So far, 207 people have lost their lives. But the toll may go up as
debris in many areas is yet to be cleared," said Home Minister
Sushilkumar Shinde in New Delhi.Another 17 people have been killed in the neighbouring state of
Himachal Pradesh, a senior government official said. Floods and
landslides from monsoon rains have also struck across the border in
Nepal, leaving at least 39 people dead, the government there said.In Uttarakhand, police said they have recovered 40 bodies floating in the Ganges near the pilgrimage town of Hardwar.
"We have recovered some 40 bodies which floated downstream and the
process of identification is on," Hardwar police chief Rajeev Swaroop
told AFP by phone.The military operation, involving some 43 helicopters and more than
10,000 soldiers, was concentrating on reaching those stranded in the
holy town of Badrinath after earlier finding widespread devastation in
the Kedarnath temple area."Village after village has been buried in the debris and people who
got in the way of the waters have been washed away," Uttarakhand
disaster relief minister Yashpal Arya told AFP.Rescue workers who have managed to reach those stranded are racing to
cut down trees and clear vegetation to allow military helicopters to
land and evacuate those most in need, a state official said."Thousands of tourists are waiting in the dense forests. They had all
taken refuge in the jungle after hotels and other buildings collapsed,"
said the state's principal secretary Rakesh Sharma."We are trying all possible ways to rescue them. Roads are totally destroyed," he said.Some of those stranded in mountain areas are trying to walk to safer
ground, with photos showing pilgrims, aided by soldiers, using ropes and
makeshift ladders to climb down cliffs and cross rivers.Soldiers have also reached some of the villages in lower-lying areas
by boat, ferrying women clutching babies, children and elderly men to
safety. Video footage shows only roofs of the houses visible above the
water line.
Relatives of those missing faced an anxious wait in the Uttarakhand
capital Dehradun, where military helicopters and other aircraft were
landing carrying some of those rescued.Distraught relatives clutching photographs of missing family members
were waiting outside Dehradun airport for news, an AFP photographer on
the scene said.Amit Thakur, 40, said his 11-year-old nephew has been missing since their family-run hotel collapsed last week."I just hope the army will trace our little boy. I have been
standing outside the airport for the last three days to get any
information about him," Thakur told AFP.Army field hospitals have also been set up throughout the state, with
the elderly seen on canvas beds awaiting medical attention.Prime Minister Manmohan Singh late on Thursday described the
situation as "distressing" and announced a 170-million-dollar aid
package and an online appeal for funds, asking "all citizens of India to
stand with our distressed fellow countrymen" and "donate generously".
