Russia accuses EU commissioner of 'treacherous sacrilege'-Today @ 10:20-AUG 27,14-By EUOBSERVER
The Russian foreign ministry Tuesday accused interim EU justice commissioner Reicherts of "treacherous sacrilege that blurs the lines between good and evil" and of "playing on Russophobia" after she noted at a remembrance day last week that Hitler and Stalin started WWII by signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to partition Poland.

Nato chief unveils new plan for eastern Europe-Today @ 09:30-AUG 27,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - A summit in Minsk on Tuesday (26 August) failed to produce a breakthrough on the Ukraine conflict, while Nato announced a bold new plan for eastern Europe.The event saw the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia, which have formed a Customs Union, meet with the president of Ukraine and three EU commissioners, before the Ukrainian and Russian chiefs broke off for two-hour long talks.The modest outcome saw Russia and Ukraine revive a “Contact Group,” which is to meet in the coming days, most likely in Minsk.They also agreed to hold minister-level talks, together with EU mediators, on trade in Moscow on 12 September and on gas in Brussels on 5 September.The Minsk summit took place amid ever-escalating tension in east Ukraine: Ukrainian forces captured 10 Russian paratroopers on its territory the same day, while Reuters reported that “green men” - paratroopers with no state insignia, but believed to be Russian - have arrived in the Ukrainian village of Kolosky.Poroshenko said the Contact Group will discuss: the possibility of a ceasefire; the closing of the Ukrainian-Russian border; and the freeing of “illegally detained Ukrainian citizens” in Russia.Putin continued to claim Russia has no involvement in the fighting.On the captured Russian paratroopers, he said: “I have not yet received a report from the [Russian] ministry of defence, the general staff. But the first thing I heard is that they were patrolling the border, that they could have been on Ukrainian territory [by mistake]”.He added that he has no influence on pro-Russia rebels in Ukraine: “It [a ceasefire] is not our business, it is an internal affair of Ukraine itself”.He also threatened to close Russian markets to Ukrainian agriculture and to impose higher tariffs on Ukrainian goods in general if it ratifies an EU free trade pact in September.“We understand our European partners; they have already developed the Ukrainian market rather well, and would like to get hold of whatever is left and squeeze out everyone else”, he said.For their part, the EU delegates underlined the need to help Ukrainian civilians and to clinch a gas supply deal before the winter.EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said: “We’re in the summer now. But the winter is coming and there are places [in east Ukraine] that don’t have any power, don’t have the capacity to provide heating”.EU energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger said Ukraine and Russia should aim for an "interim" deal on gas prices to prevent a gas cut-off to Ukraine and to EU transit customers.
Nato speaks out
Going into the talks, Poroshenko, who shook Putin’s hand in a symbolic gesture, said: "In Minsk at this meeting the fate of the world and Europe is being decided”.His statement, on the grave implications of Russia’s attack on its neighbour, was echoed by Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen.The Nato secretary general told The Guardian, a British daily, in an interview also on Tuesday the alliance is planning to set up permanent new bases in eastern Europe.He indicated the Nato summit in Wales next week will see the creation of a rapid reaction force to counter any Russian action against Nato countries such as Estonia or Latvia.“The point is that any potential aggressor should know that if they were to even think of an attack against a Nato ally they will meet not only soldiers from that specific country but they will meet Nato troops”, he said.Asked whether the force will have “permanent” facilities in the east, Rasmussen said: “The brief answer is Yes … Our eastern allies will be satisfied when they see what is actually in the [new Nato] readiness action plan”.Nato and Russia in 1997 reached a “basic agreement” on the non-deployment of permanent new bases in Nato's ex-Iron-Curtain member states.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on a recent visit to Latvia the treaty is still in force.But for others, such as Estonian president Toomas Ilves, Russia’s war on Ukraine has made a mockery of the pact.He tweeted on Wednesday the 1997 accord stipulated “no permanent bases in new members, ‘in the current & foreseeable security environment’.”He added that the “onus is [on Russia] to prove [the] security environment of 1997 has NOT changed. That after [Russian invasions of] Georgia, Ukraine, Crimea, we're still in lala-land”.
08/27/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Pakistan, appeal from the religions not to derail democracy
-Islamabad, the capital city, is blocked by demonstrators of two anti-government movements: the Lahore Dominicans’ “Peace Center” asks for reconciliation-Paolo Affatato
Rome-It is a sort of Muslim “occupy”, with the capital, Islamabad, blocked by over 20 thousand demonstrators from two opposed political parties; it is an institutional and political crisis, with Nawaz Sharif, the Prime Minister, formally accused of murder; it is a destabilized country on the brink of civil war: this is the situation found in Pakistan, a country already grappling with terrorism. In the face of this, it is necessary to find “the way of dialogue and the compass of reconciliation” as soon as possible. With this appeal, consigned to Vatican Insider, the Dominican Father James Channan, theologian and director of the “Peace Center” in Lahore, that works for interreligious dialogue, speaks up about the fears and wishes of the Pakistani Church at a difficult time in recent history.Beside him, the Pakistan Ulema Council, made up of 25 Islamic party heads, is also worried about the possible outcome of a crisis that has seen the capital occupied since the 14th of August (Independence Day) by demonstrators of two anti-government political factions: the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (Pakistan Movement for Justice), guided by the incredibly popular former cricket champion Imran Khan and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (Pakistan People’s Movement), led by the fierce Islamic preacher Tahir ul-Qadri. These two ask for the Prime Minister to resign, who indignantly rejects the possibility, and for the Parliament to be dissolved.The stalemate has been going on for two weeks. Protests against the government have grown and thousands of demonstrators are camping out in the so-called “red zone”, where the Parliament, the embassies and numerous government offices are located. Observers ask, what will happen if the government decides to disperse the demonstrators? Even the judicial powers are divided: the Supreme Court invoked a compromise solution, which has been so far denied by both parts, among threats and crossed vetoes. A Lahore tribunal has instead formally opened a case of homicide, charging the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his brother Shahbaz Sharif, who is Prime Minister in the Punjab province, and 19 high government officials. The bench is investigating on the police raid that killed 14 people and wounded a hundred among the members of the Tahir ul Qadri Movement last 17th of June in Lahore, during a square demonstration. From then on, feelings have run higher and positions have become more radical.Religions have taken the field to say “no” to oppression and to keep high the standard of democracy. Because, in a high tension situation between demonstrators and police, a generalized civil war and the resulting military coup are just around the corner.The Ulemas have called the mosques to order and mobilized the Madrasas (Islamic schools) and the universities on a national level to halt the crisis. The head of the Council, Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, reiterated that “no one must be allowed to resort to violence in the name of religion. Some thousands of people do not have the right to decide the fate of the country. All political and religious parties must present their requests respecting the legal state”. The Council asks for “a strong action against forces instigating sectarian violence. Tahir ul-Qadri and Imran Khan should have mercy for the women, children and elderly who are active in the sit-in, letting them go home. We need to protect stability in Pakistan”.Channan claims that “the current situation in Islamabad is very critical. Together with the Ulemas, we have stressed the urgency of a peaceful solution through dialogue and deferring to the Supreme Court of Pakistan”. He explains Vatican Insider that “All of us, Christians and Muslims, have contributed to the creation of this country and we have made sacrifices for its independence. Today we have been called to play a role in its stability and progress. Religious minorities are very worried about this crisis. Every day we pray in our Churches so that concrete steps are taken towards national reconciliation”.According to the Dominican, “the danger of a civil war, as well as the danger of the military taking power, is real. It is, therefore, essential that the different sides begin negotiations; a political solution is the only possible way. As Christian and Muslim leaders, the point we fully agree on is that democracy cannot and must not derail again in Pakistan”.
Islamic State commits war crimes, Syrian govt using poison gas: U.N.-Reuters-By Stephanie Nebehay-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations accused Islamic State insurgents on Wednesday of committing war crimes including amputations and public executions, sometimes in the presence of children, and said it believed Damascus had used chlorine gas in combating its enemies.The Sunni militants, who are bringing weapons from Iraq, have changed the power balance in Syria, consolidating control over large areas and establishing order by imposing harsh sharia law, the U.N. said in its latest report."Executions in public spaces have become a common spectacle on Fridays in al Raqqa and ISIS-controlled areas of Aleppo governorate (province)," the report said."Children have been present at the executions, which take the form of beheading or shooting in the head at close range... Bodies are placed on public display, often on crucifixes, for up to three days, serving as a warning to local residents."The independent investigators voiced deep concern about boys forced to join the ranks of Islamic States who are being trained in camps in Syria that could be targeted by U.S. air strikes.U.S. President Barack Obama vowed "justice will be done" against the Islamic State killers of American journalist James Foley on Tuesday as the United States sought to identify targets for potential air strikes in Syria."We are aware ... of the presence of children in training camps, I think that this decision by the United States must respect the laws of war and we are concerned about the presence of these children," Paulo Pinheiro, chairman of the U.N. commission of inquiry, told a news briefing in Geneva."ISIS poses a clear and present danger to civilians and particularly minorities under its control in Syria and in the region," Pinheiro said.Syrian government forces have dropped barrel bombs on civilian areas, a war crime under international law, including some believed to contain the poison gas chlorine in eight incidents in April, the investigators said in latest report.Previously they had only been able to conclude that the chemicals came from Syrian government stockpiles."We've looked at eight instances of alleged chlorine attacks and we found specifically that according to our evidentiary test, they were dropped - the chlorine came with the barrel bombs - dropped from government helicopters particularly onto civilian areas," said Vitit Muntarbhorn, a commissioner.
"FRAGMENTED AND VICIOUS"
The conflict, which began with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad in March 2011, has become multi-faceted with more groups involved and many front lines, said Muntarbhorn."It's fragmented, it's vicious, and there are cross-border implications," he said.More than 191,000 people were killed in the first three years of the war, a U.N. report said last week.Syria's military and air force continue to commit serious violations, including aerial bombardment and barrel bombing particularly of Aleppo, Deraa and Rural Damascus, Pinheiro said."There has been also an increase in reports of enforced disappearances, sexual assaults in detention centers and the arrest of female relatives of wanted persons," he said.Deaths in custody in Syrian jails are on the rise and forensic analysis of 26,948 photographs allegedly taken from 2011-2013 in government detention centers back its "longstanding findings of systematic torture and deaths of detainees"."Forced truces, a mark of the government's strategy of siege and bombardment, are often followed by mass arrests of men of fighting age, many of whom disappear," it said.
INDICTMENTS
The U.N. report, the commission of inquiry's eighth since being set up exactly three years ago, is based on 480 interviews and documentary evidence gathered by its team, which is trying to build a case for future criminal prosecution.Islamic forces, which are also sweeping through neighboring Iraq in their bid to establish a cross-border caliphate, have drawn more experienced and ideologically motivated foreign fighters and established control over large areas in northern and eastern Syria, particularly oil-rich Deir al-Zor, it said.Islamic State is variously referred to as IS, ISIS or ISIL.The investigators, who include former U.N. crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte, have already drawn up four confidential lists of suspects whom they believe should face international justice.In the report, they reiterated their call for the U.N. Security Council to refer violations in Syria to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC)."We still hope that by holding all this evidence in our archives, one day a prosecutor's office can use it to conduct a formal inquiry and prepare indictments," del Ponte said.(This story has been refiled to correct word in 16th para to female from male)(Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Angus MacSwan and Crispian Balmer)
Breakthrough hopes dented as Ukraine accuses Russia of new incursion-Reuters-AUG 27,14-By Richard Balmforth and Anton Zverev-YAHOONEWS
KIEV/DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukraine accused Russia of launching a new military incursion across its eastern border on Wednesday, as hopes quickly faded that Tuesday's talks between their two presidents might mark a turning point in a five-month-old crisis.Accusations of direct Russian support for pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine have prompted Western governments to impose sanctions on Moscow, despite its denials, and fanned tensions with NATO to levels not seen since the Cold War.Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said a group of Russian soldiers had crossed the border in armored infantry carriers and a truck and entered the town of Amvrosiyivka, not far from where Ukraine detained 10 Russian soldiers on Monday.Ukraine's Security Services also said in a statement it had detained another Russian soldier in the east of the country who has confessed his unit provided military support to separatist rebels.Lysenko said fighting in two other towns, Horlivka and Ilovaysk, had killed about 200 pro-Russian rebels and destroyed tanks and missile systems. Thirteen Ukrainian service personnel had been killed in the past 24 hours and 36 had been wounded.No comment was immediately available from the Russian defense ministry on the alleged incursion. Russia denies sending weapons and soldiers to help the rebels, and says the men captured on Monday had crossed an unmarked section of the border by mistake.Late-night talks in the Belarussian capital Minsk had appeared to yield some progress towards ending a war in which more than 2,200 people have been killed, according to the U.N. -- a toll that excludes the 298 who died when a Malaysian airliner was shot down over rebel-held territory in July.Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he would work on an urgent 'road map' towards a ceasefire with the rebels. Russia's Vladimir Putin said it would be for Ukrainians to work out ceasefire terms, but Moscow would "contribute to create a situation of trust".But Wednesday's new accusations from Ukraine made clear that the poisonous dispute over Russia's role remained unresolved.In a telephone call with Putin, Germany's Angela Merkel said reports of a new Russian military incursion into Ukrainian territory had to be cleared up, a spokesman for the chancellor said in a statement."The latest reports of the presence of Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory must be explained," said Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert. "She emphasized Russia's major responsibility for de-escalation and watching over its own frontiers."A senior NATO diplomat said Russian support for the separatists was becoming increasingly open.“I think there’s a shift here that we may be witnessing, very recently, from largely covert, ambiguous, deniable support to what appears increasingly to be flat-out, overt and obvious (support) and with the only form of ambiguity being that the Russians ... claim it is not happening,” said the diplomat, speaking to reporters in Brussels on condition of anonymity.He said increasingly sophisticated weapons systems were now in the area, including the SA-22 surface-to-air missile, which is more advanced than the SA-11 system that many Western officials suspect rebels used to bring down the Malaysian jet.
TRADE WARS
The United States said on Wednesday new military incursions on Ukraine's eastern border indicate a Russian-directed counter-offensive is likely under way in two Ukrainian towns.White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the military movement "would be consistent with the other kinds of destabilizing military activities that Russia has pursued in Ukraine".Ukraine's State Security services said in a statement late on Wednesday that it had detained a private in Ukraine's easternmost Luhansk Province from a unit stationed in Russia's Rostov region near the border with Ukraine.The statement said that when questioned, he said his military unit transfers military equipment and ammunition including multiple rocket launchers BM-21 Grads as well as armored personnel carriers to the rebels.Fighting in the east erupted in April, a month after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in response to the toppling of a pro-Moscow president in Kiev.The crisis has prompted the United States and EU to impose sanctions on Russia's finance, oil and defense sectors, and Moscow has hit back by banning most western food imports. The trade wars threaten to tip Russia into recession and strangle economic recovery in Europe.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was not looking for a further escalation of trade tensions. "We have no interest in a confrontation or in whipping up a spiral of sanctions," he told an audience of students.The next step would be for a 'Contact Group', comprising representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the rebels and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, to meet in Minsk, he said without giving a time frame.But Ukrainian foreign policy adviser Valery Chaly told reporters in Kiev that Poroshenko's declaration on a ceasefire road map did not mean an immediate end to the government’s military offensive against the rebels."If there are attacks from the terrorists and mercenaries, then our army has the duty to defend the people," he said.A crowd of several hundred gathered outside the presidential administration building in Kiev to demand reinforcement for Ukrainian forces in Ilovaysk, a town in Donetsk region, where government troops have been encircled by rebel units."We want to show the current authorities who came to power thanks to active citizens that we will not allow them to stand by as those people die who were brave enough to take up weapons and defend our country," Kiev resident Mykola Vasyk said.Earlier, Ukrainian military spokesman Lysenko said units were on the defensive in Ilovaysk, but that some equipment and support had reached the troops.
DISTRUST
A rebel leader, Oleg Tsaryov, wrote on Facebook that he welcomed the outcome of the Minsk talks, but the separatists would not stop short of full independence for the regions of eastern Ukraine they call Novorossiya (New Russia).He said he saw "a real breakthrough" in Putin's offer to contribute to the peace process.But he added: "It must be understood that a genuine settlement of the situation is only possible with the participation of representatives of Novorossiya. We will not allow our fate to be decided behind our back..."Now we are demanding independence. We don't trust the Ukrainian leadership and don't consider ourselves part of Ukraine. The guarantee of our security is our own armed forces. We will decide our own fate."Further underlining Kiev's distrust of Moscow, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said his country needed "practical help" and "momentous decisions" from NATO at an alliance summit next month.He said he knew of Russian plans to halt gas flows this winter to Europe, up to half of which are shipped via Ukraine. Russia's energy minister called the assertion groundless.Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June in a dispute over pricing and debt, but Putin said after Tuesday's talks that he and Poroshenko had agreed to resume discussions.European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said gas consultations would take place in Moscow on Friday between Russia, Ukraine and the European Union.(Additional reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin, Katya Golubkova, Gabriela Baczynska and Thomas Grove in Moscow, Andrei Makhovsky and Andrei Anishchuk in Minsk, Natalia Zinets in Kiev and Lesley Wroughton in Washington; Writing by Mark Trevelyan and Thomas Grove; Editing by Giles Elgood and Will Waterman)
Death toll soars from fighting in Ukraine: UN report-AFP-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS
United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Fierce fighting in east Ukraine over the past month has sent the death toll soaring, with at least 36 people killed every day, according to a UN rights report.In four weeks alone, from mid-July to mid-August, at least 1,200 people were killed -- more than double the total casualties in the conflict since it began in April, said the report by UN rights monitors to be released on Friday.Ukrainian forces have over the past month made headway in their battle to flush out pro-Moscow separatists, regaining control of towns in the east and tightening their blockades around rebel strongholds."As a result of the intensified hostilities, there has been an escalation in the number of casualties which has more than doubled in total since the last report" in July, said the 39-page document obtained by AFP.The one- month death toll of 1,200 did not include the 298 dead from the July 17 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.Since April, a total of 2,220 people have been killed, including 23 children.The report implicitly blamed the separatists for the intensified killing, saying they were staging attacks from "densely populated areas, putting the civilian population at risk".But it added that "responsibility for at least some of the resulting casualties and damage lies with Ukrainian armed forces" who have been shelling rebel positions in the cities.Artillery, tanks, rockets and missiles have been used in the most recent rounds of fighting, with the frontlines moving closer to the suburbs of the main city of Donetsk and Lugansk.The report seemed to address Ukrainian claims that Russia is arming the rebels, saying that the separatists are "now professionally equipped and appear to benefit from a steady supply of sophisticated weapons and ammunition, enabling them to shoot down Ukrainian military aircraft such as helicopters, fighter jets and transport planes."Ukraine has accused Russia of providing the weaponry that allowed rebels to shoot down Flight MH17, but Moscow denies the allegations. An investigation led by the Dutch government is under way.The report also accused rebel fighters of committing murder, kidnappings, torture and other human rights violations.At least 468 people remain in captivity, according to the report, the fifth issued by the UN rights monitoring mission.UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic is due to present the report during a visit to Ukraine on Friday.

Hurricane Cristobal seen passing west of rain-lashed Bermuda-Reuters-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS-By Daniel Wallis
MIAMI (Reuters) - Hurricane Cristobal is expected to pass well west of Bermuda on Wednesday, where a tropical storm watch is in effect and heavy rain is likely, the National Hurricane Center said.
Centered about 425 miles (685 km) west of Bermuda, Cristobal was moving north at 12 miles per hour (19 km per hour) with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph), the NHC said. It is seen turning northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed over the next two days."Cristobal has a large wind field. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)," the hurricane center said in an advisory.The hurricane is expected to produce an additional one to two inches (2.5 to five cm) of rain over Bermuda, and some strengthening of its winds was possible during the next day or so, the NHC added.Cristobal has already caused dangerous coastal conditions from the eastern U.S. seaboard to Bermuda, a British territory some 640 miles (1,030 km) off the North Carolina shore.The NHC said swells generated by the hurricane were affecting Bermuda and parts of the U.S. coastline from North Carolina to the mid-Atlantic states. It said they would spread north to southern New England on Thursday, and were "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions."Cristobal, a Category 1 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, is the third named storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season. It soaked parts of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands earlier this week, after drenching Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico last weekend. Forecasters this month downgraded their outlook for the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, predicting below-normal activity with seven to 12 named storms, with no more than two reaching major hurricane status. A major hurricane is considered to be Category 3 or above with winds hitting at least 111 mph (178 kph). Separately, the NHC said on Wednesday that shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a weak low pressure area over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico had increased during the past few hours.Some additional development was possible before the system moves inland over south Texas and northern Mexico on Thursday, it said, adding that a U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft was scheduled to investigate the system on Wednesday if needed.It also said a tropical wave several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles was producing "disorganized cloudiness and showers," and it said that system is expected to move westward across the Caribbean Sea during the next few days."Environmental conditions could become favorable for some development by early next week in the western Caribbean Sea or southern Gulf of Mexico," the NHC said.(Reporting by Daniel Wallis; Editing by Eric Beech)

Nato chief unveils new plan for eastern Europe-Today @ 09:30-AUG 27,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - A summit in Minsk on Tuesday (26 August) failed to produce a breakthrough on the Ukraine conflict, while Nato announced a bold new plan for eastern Europe.The event saw the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia, which have formed a Customs Union, meet with the president of Ukraine and three EU commissioners, before the Ukrainian and Russian chiefs broke off for two-hour long talks.The modest outcome saw Russia and Ukraine revive a “Contact Group,” which is to meet in the coming days, most likely in Minsk.They also agreed to hold minister-level talks, together with EU mediators, on trade in Moscow on 12 September and on gas in Brussels on 5 September.The Minsk summit took place amid ever-escalating tension in east Ukraine: Ukrainian forces captured 10 Russian paratroopers on its territory the same day, while Reuters reported that “green men” - paratroopers with no state insignia, but believed to be Russian - have arrived in the Ukrainian village of Kolosky.Poroshenko said the Contact Group will discuss: the possibility of a ceasefire; the closing of the Ukrainian-Russian border; and the freeing of “illegally detained Ukrainian citizens” in Russia.Putin continued to claim Russia has no involvement in the fighting.On the captured Russian paratroopers, he said: “I have not yet received a report from the [Russian] ministry of defence, the general staff. But the first thing I heard is that they were patrolling the border, that they could have been on Ukrainian territory [by mistake]”.He added that he has no influence on pro-Russia rebels in Ukraine: “It [a ceasefire] is not our business, it is an internal affair of Ukraine itself”.He also threatened to close Russian markets to Ukrainian agriculture and to impose higher tariffs on Ukrainian goods in general if it ratifies an EU free trade pact in September.“We understand our European partners; they have already developed the Ukrainian market rather well, and would like to get hold of whatever is left and squeeze out everyone else”, he said.For their part, the EU delegates underlined the need to help Ukrainian civilians and to clinch a gas supply deal before the winter.EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said: “We’re in the summer now. But the winter is coming and there are places [in east Ukraine] that don’t have any power, don’t have the capacity to provide heating”.EU energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger said Ukraine and Russia should aim for an "interim" deal on gas prices to prevent a gas cut-off to Ukraine and to EU transit customers.
Nato speaks out
Going into the talks, Poroshenko, who shook Putin’s hand in a symbolic gesture, said: "In Minsk at this meeting the fate of the world and Europe is being decided”.His statement, on the grave implications of Russia’s attack on its neighbour, was echoed by Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen.The Nato secretary general told The Guardian, a British daily, in an interview also on Tuesday the alliance is planning to set up permanent new bases in eastern Europe.He indicated the Nato summit in Wales next week will see the creation of a rapid reaction force to counter any Russian action against Nato countries such as Estonia or Latvia.“The point is that any potential aggressor should know that if they were to even think of an attack against a Nato ally they will meet not only soldiers from that specific country but they will meet Nato troops”, he said.Asked whether the force will have “permanent” facilities in the east, Rasmussen said: “The brief answer is Yes … Our eastern allies will be satisfied when they see what is actually in the [new Nato] readiness action plan”.Nato and Russia in 1997 reached a “basic agreement” on the non-deployment of permanent new bases in Nato's ex-Iron-Curtain member states.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on a recent visit to Latvia the treaty is still in force.But for others, such as Estonian president Toomas Ilves, Russia’s war on Ukraine has made a mockery of the pact.He tweeted on Wednesday the 1997 accord stipulated “no permanent bases in new members, ‘in the current & foreseeable security environment’.”He added that the “onus is [on Russia] to prove [the] security environment of 1997 has NOT changed. That after [Russian invasions of] Georgia, Ukraine, Crimea, we're still in lala-land”.
08/27/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Pakistan, appeal from the religions not to derail democracy
-Islamabad, the capital city, is blocked by demonstrators of two anti-government movements: the Lahore Dominicans’ “Peace Center” asks for reconciliation-Paolo Affatato
Rome-It is a sort of Muslim “occupy”, with the capital, Islamabad, blocked by over 20 thousand demonstrators from two opposed political parties; it is an institutional and political crisis, with Nawaz Sharif, the Prime Minister, formally accused of murder; it is a destabilized country on the brink of civil war: this is the situation found in Pakistan, a country already grappling with terrorism. In the face of this, it is necessary to find “the way of dialogue and the compass of reconciliation” as soon as possible. With this appeal, consigned to Vatican Insider, the Dominican Father James Channan, theologian and director of the “Peace Center” in Lahore, that works for interreligious dialogue, speaks up about the fears and wishes of the Pakistani Church at a difficult time in recent history.Beside him, the Pakistan Ulema Council, made up of 25 Islamic party heads, is also worried about the possible outcome of a crisis that has seen the capital occupied since the 14th of August (Independence Day) by demonstrators of two anti-government political factions: the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (Pakistan Movement for Justice), guided by the incredibly popular former cricket champion Imran Khan and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (Pakistan People’s Movement), led by the fierce Islamic preacher Tahir ul-Qadri. These two ask for the Prime Minister to resign, who indignantly rejects the possibility, and for the Parliament to be dissolved.The stalemate has been going on for two weeks. Protests against the government have grown and thousands of demonstrators are camping out in the so-called “red zone”, where the Parliament, the embassies and numerous government offices are located. Observers ask, what will happen if the government decides to disperse the demonstrators? Even the judicial powers are divided: the Supreme Court invoked a compromise solution, which has been so far denied by both parts, among threats and crossed vetoes. A Lahore tribunal has instead formally opened a case of homicide, charging the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his brother Shahbaz Sharif, who is Prime Minister in the Punjab province, and 19 high government officials. The bench is investigating on the police raid that killed 14 people and wounded a hundred among the members of the Tahir ul Qadri Movement last 17th of June in Lahore, during a square demonstration. From then on, feelings have run higher and positions have become more radical.Religions have taken the field to say “no” to oppression and to keep high the standard of democracy. Because, in a high tension situation between demonstrators and police, a generalized civil war and the resulting military coup are just around the corner.The Ulemas have called the mosques to order and mobilized the Madrasas (Islamic schools) and the universities on a national level to halt the crisis. The head of the Council, Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, reiterated that “no one must be allowed to resort to violence in the name of religion. Some thousands of people do not have the right to decide the fate of the country. All political and religious parties must present their requests respecting the legal state”. The Council asks for “a strong action against forces instigating sectarian violence. Tahir ul-Qadri and Imran Khan should have mercy for the women, children and elderly who are active in the sit-in, letting them go home. We need to protect stability in Pakistan”.Channan claims that “the current situation in Islamabad is very critical. Together with the Ulemas, we have stressed the urgency of a peaceful solution through dialogue and deferring to the Supreme Court of Pakistan”. He explains Vatican Insider that “All of us, Christians and Muslims, have contributed to the creation of this country and we have made sacrifices for its independence. Today we have been called to play a role in its stability and progress. Religious minorities are very worried about this crisis. Every day we pray in our Churches so that concrete steps are taken towards national reconciliation”.According to the Dominican, “the danger of a civil war, as well as the danger of the military taking power, is real. It is, therefore, essential that the different sides begin negotiations; a political solution is the only possible way. As Christian and Muslim leaders, the point we fully agree on is that democracy cannot and must not derail again in Pakistan”.
Islamic State commits war crimes, Syrian govt using poison gas: U.N.-Reuters-By Stephanie Nebehay-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations accused Islamic State insurgents on Wednesday of committing war crimes including amputations and public executions, sometimes in the presence of children, and said it believed Damascus had used chlorine gas in combating its enemies.The Sunni militants, who are bringing weapons from Iraq, have changed the power balance in Syria, consolidating control over large areas and establishing order by imposing harsh sharia law, the U.N. said in its latest report."Executions in public spaces have become a common spectacle on Fridays in al Raqqa and ISIS-controlled areas of Aleppo governorate (province)," the report said."Children have been present at the executions, which take the form of beheading or shooting in the head at close range... Bodies are placed on public display, often on crucifixes, for up to three days, serving as a warning to local residents."The independent investigators voiced deep concern about boys forced to join the ranks of Islamic States who are being trained in camps in Syria that could be targeted by U.S. air strikes.U.S. President Barack Obama vowed "justice will be done" against the Islamic State killers of American journalist James Foley on Tuesday as the United States sought to identify targets for potential air strikes in Syria."We are aware ... of the presence of children in training camps, I think that this decision by the United States must respect the laws of war and we are concerned about the presence of these children," Paulo Pinheiro, chairman of the U.N. commission of inquiry, told a news briefing in Geneva."ISIS poses a clear and present danger to civilians and particularly minorities under its control in Syria and in the region," Pinheiro said.Syrian government forces have dropped barrel bombs on civilian areas, a war crime under international law, including some believed to contain the poison gas chlorine in eight incidents in April, the investigators said in latest report.Previously they had only been able to conclude that the chemicals came from Syrian government stockpiles."We've looked at eight instances of alleged chlorine attacks and we found specifically that according to our evidentiary test, they were dropped - the chlorine came with the barrel bombs - dropped from government helicopters particularly onto civilian areas," said Vitit Muntarbhorn, a commissioner.
"FRAGMENTED AND VICIOUS"
The conflict, which began with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad in March 2011, has become multi-faceted with more groups involved and many front lines, said Muntarbhorn."It's fragmented, it's vicious, and there are cross-border implications," he said.More than 191,000 people were killed in the first three years of the war, a U.N. report said last week.Syria's military and air force continue to commit serious violations, including aerial bombardment and barrel bombing particularly of Aleppo, Deraa and Rural Damascus, Pinheiro said."There has been also an increase in reports of enforced disappearances, sexual assaults in detention centers and the arrest of female relatives of wanted persons," he said.Deaths in custody in Syrian jails are on the rise and forensic analysis of 26,948 photographs allegedly taken from 2011-2013 in government detention centers back its "longstanding findings of systematic torture and deaths of detainees"."Forced truces, a mark of the government's strategy of siege and bombardment, are often followed by mass arrests of men of fighting age, many of whom disappear," it said.
INDICTMENTS
The U.N. report, the commission of inquiry's eighth since being set up exactly three years ago, is based on 480 interviews and documentary evidence gathered by its team, which is trying to build a case for future criminal prosecution.Islamic forces, which are also sweeping through neighboring Iraq in their bid to establish a cross-border caliphate, have drawn more experienced and ideologically motivated foreign fighters and established control over large areas in northern and eastern Syria, particularly oil-rich Deir al-Zor, it said.Islamic State is variously referred to as IS, ISIS or ISIL.The investigators, who include former U.N. crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte, have already drawn up four confidential lists of suspects whom they believe should face international justice.In the report, they reiterated their call for the U.N. Security Council to refer violations in Syria to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC)."We still hope that by holding all this evidence in our archives, one day a prosecutor's office can use it to conduct a formal inquiry and prepare indictments," del Ponte said.(This story has been refiled to correct word in 16th para to female from male)(Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Angus MacSwan and Crispian Balmer)
Breakthrough hopes dented as Ukraine accuses Russia of new incursion-Reuters-AUG 27,14-By Richard Balmforth and Anton Zverev-YAHOONEWS
KIEV/DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukraine accused Russia of launching a new military incursion across its eastern border on Wednesday, as hopes quickly faded that Tuesday's talks between their two presidents might mark a turning point in a five-month-old crisis.Accusations of direct Russian support for pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine have prompted Western governments to impose sanctions on Moscow, despite its denials, and fanned tensions with NATO to levels not seen since the Cold War.Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said a group of Russian soldiers had crossed the border in armored infantry carriers and a truck and entered the town of Amvrosiyivka, not far from where Ukraine detained 10 Russian soldiers on Monday.Ukraine's Security Services also said in a statement it had detained another Russian soldier in the east of the country who has confessed his unit provided military support to separatist rebels.Lysenko said fighting in two other towns, Horlivka and Ilovaysk, had killed about 200 pro-Russian rebels and destroyed tanks and missile systems. Thirteen Ukrainian service personnel had been killed in the past 24 hours and 36 had been wounded.No comment was immediately available from the Russian defense ministry on the alleged incursion. Russia denies sending weapons and soldiers to help the rebels, and says the men captured on Monday had crossed an unmarked section of the border by mistake.Late-night talks in the Belarussian capital Minsk had appeared to yield some progress towards ending a war in which more than 2,200 people have been killed, according to the U.N. -- a toll that excludes the 298 who died when a Malaysian airliner was shot down over rebel-held territory in July.Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he would work on an urgent 'road map' towards a ceasefire with the rebels. Russia's Vladimir Putin said it would be for Ukrainians to work out ceasefire terms, but Moscow would "contribute to create a situation of trust".But Wednesday's new accusations from Ukraine made clear that the poisonous dispute over Russia's role remained unresolved.In a telephone call with Putin, Germany's Angela Merkel said reports of a new Russian military incursion into Ukrainian territory had to be cleared up, a spokesman for the chancellor said in a statement."The latest reports of the presence of Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory must be explained," said Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert. "She emphasized Russia's major responsibility for de-escalation and watching over its own frontiers."A senior NATO diplomat said Russian support for the separatists was becoming increasingly open.“I think there’s a shift here that we may be witnessing, very recently, from largely covert, ambiguous, deniable support to what appears increasingly to be flat-out, overt and obvious (support) and with the only form of ambiguity being that the Russians ... claim it is not happening,” said the diplomat, speaking to reporters in Brussels on condition of anonymity.He said increasingly sophisticated weapons systems were now in the area, including the SA-22 surface-to-air missile, which is more advanced than the SA-11 system that many Western officials suspect rebels used to bring down the Malaysian jet.
TRADE WARS
The United States said on Wednesday new military incursions on Ukraine's eastern border indicate a Russian-directed counter-offensive is likely under way in two Ukrainian towns.White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the military movement "would be consistent with the other kinds of destabilizing military activities that Russia has pursued in Ukraine".Ukraine's State Security services said in a statement late on Wednesday that it had detained a private in Ukraine's easternmost Luhansk Province from a unit stationed in Russia's Rostov region near the border with Ukraine.The statement said that when questioned, he said his military unit transfers military equipment and ammunition including multiple rocket launchers BM-21 Grads as well as armored personnel carriers to the rebels.Fighting in the east erupted in April, a month after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in response to the toppling of a pro-Moscow president in Kiev.The crisis has prompted the United States and EU to impose sanctions on Russia's finance, oil and defense sectors, and Moscow has hit back by banning most western food imports. The trade wars threaten to tip Russia into recession and strangle economic recovery in Europe.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was not looking for a further escalation of trade tensions. "We have no interest in a confrontation or in whipping up a spiral of sanctions," he told an audience of students.The next step would be for a 'Contact Group', comprising representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the rebels and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, to meet in Minsk, he said without giving a time frame.But Ukrainian foreign policy adviser Valery Chaly told reporters in Kiev that Poroshenko's declaration on a ceasefire road map did not mean an immediate end to the government’s military offensive against the rebels."If there are attacks from the terrorists and mercenaries, then our army has the duty to defend the people," he said.A crowd of several hundred gathered outside the presidential administration building in Kiev to demand reinforcement for Ukrainian forces in Ilovaysk, a town in Donetsk region, where government troops have been encircled by rebel units."We want to show the current authorities who came to power thanks to active citizens that we will not allow them to stand by as those people die who were brave enough to take up weapons and defend our country," Kiev resident Mykola Vasyk said.Earlier, Ukrainian military spokesman Lysenko said units were on the defensive in Ilovaysk, but that some equipment and support had reached the troops.
DISTRUST
A rebel leader, Oleg Tsaryov, wrote on Facebook that he welcomed the outcome of the Minsk talks, but the separatists would not stop short of full independence for the regions of eastern Ukraine they call Novorossiya (New Russia).He said he saw "a real breakthrough" in Putin's offer to contribute to the peace process.But he added: "It must be understood that a genuine settlement of the situation is only possible with the participation of representatives of Novorossiya. We will not allow our fate to be decided behind our back..."Now we are demanding independence. We don't trust the Ukrainian leadership and don't consider ourselves part of Ukraine. The guarantee of our security is our own armed forces. We will decide our own fate."Further underlining Kiev's distrust of Moscow, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said his country needed "practical help" and "momentous decisions" from NATO at an alliance summit next month.He said he knew of Russian plans to halt gas flows this winter to Europe, up to half of which are shipped via Ukraine. Russia's energy minister called the assertion groundless.Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June in a dispute over pricing and debt, but Putin said after Tuesday's talks that he and Poroshenko had agreed to resume discussions.European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said gas consultations would take place in Moscow on Friday between Russia, Ukraine and the European Union.(Additional reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin, Katya Golubkova, Gabriela Baczynska and Thomas Grove in Moscow, Andrei Makhovsky and Andrei Anishchuk in Minsk, Natalia Zinets in Kiev and Lesley Wroughton in Washington; Writing by Mark Trevelyan and Thomas Grove; Editing by Giles Elgood and Will Waterman)
Death toll soars from fighting in Ukraine: UN report-AFP-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS
United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Fierce fighting in east Ukraine over the past month has sent the death toll soaring, with at least 36 people killed every day, according to a UN rights report.In four weeks alone, from mid-July to mid-August, at least 1,200 people were killed -- more than double the total casualties in the conflict since it began in April, said the report by UN rights monitors to be released on Friday.Ukrainian forces have over the past month made headway in their battle to flush out pro-Moscow separatists, regaining control of towns in the east and tightening their blockades around rebel strongholds."As a result of the intensified hostilities, there has been an escalation in the number of casualties which has more than doubled in total since the last report" in July, said the 39-page document obtained by AFP.The one- month death toll of 1,200 did not include the 298 dead from the July 17 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.Since April, a total of 2,220 people have been killed, including 23 children.The report implicitly blamed the separatists for the intensified killing, saying they were staging attacks from "densely populated areas, putting the civilian population at risk".But it added that "responsibility for at least some of the resulting casualties and damage lies with Ukrainian armed forces" who have been shelling rebel positions in the cities.Artillery, tanks, rockets and missiles have been used in the most recent rounds of fighting, with the frontlines moving closer to the suburbs of the main city of Donetsk and Lugansk.The report seemed to address Ukrainian claims that Russia is arming the rebels, saying that the separatists are "now professionally equipped and appear to benefit from a steady supply of sophisticated weapons and ammunition, enabling them to shoot down Ukrainian military aircraft such as helicopters, fighter jets and transport planes."Ukraine has accused Russia of providing the weaponry that allowed rebels to shoot down Flight MH17, but Moscow denies the allegations. An investigation led by the Dutch government is under way.The report also accused rebel fighters of committing murder, kidnappings, torture and other human rights violations.At least 468 people remain in captivity, according to the report, the fifth issued by the UN rights monitoring mission.UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic is due to present the report during a visit to Ukraine on Friday.

Hurricane Cristobal seen passing west of rain-lashed Bermuda-Reuters-AUG 27,14-YAHOONEWS-By Daniel Wallis
MIAMI (Reuters) - Hurricane Cristobal is expected to pass well west of Bermuda on Wednesday, where a tropical storm watch is in effect and heavy rain is likely, the National Hurricane Center said.
Centered about 425 miles (685 km) west of Bermuda, Cristobal was moving north at 12 miles per hour (19 km per hour) with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph), the NHC said. It is seen turning northeast with a gradual increase in forward speed over the next two days."Cristobal has a large wind field. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)," the hurricane center said in an advisory.The hurricane is expected to produce an additional one to two inches (2.5 to five cm) of rain over Bermuda, and some strengthening of its winds was possible during the next day or so, the NHC added.Cristobal has already caused dangerous coastal conditions from the eastern U.S. seaboard to Bermuda, a British territory some 640 miles (1,030 km) off the North Carolina shore.The NHC said swells generated by the hurricane were affecting Bermuda and parts of the U.S. coastline from North Carolina to the mid-Atlantic states. It said they would spread north to southern New England on Thursday, and were "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions."Cristobal, a Category 1 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, is the third named storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season. It soaked parts of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands earlier this week, after drenching Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico last weekend. Forecasters this month downgraded their outlook for the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, predicting below-normal activity with seven to 12 named storms, with no more than two reaching major hurricane status. A major hurricane is considered to be Category 3 or above with winds hitting at least 111 mph (178 kph). Separately, the NHC said on Wednesday that shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a weak low pressure area over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico had increased during the past few hours.Some additional development was possible before the system moves inland over south Texas and northern Mexico on Thursday, it said, adding that a U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft was scheduled to investigate the system on Wednesday if needed.It also said a tropical wave several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles was producing "disorganized cloudiness and showers," and it said that system is expected to move westward across the Caribbean Sea during the next few days."Environmental conditions could become favorable for some development by early next week in the western Caribbean Sea or southern Gulf of Mexico," the NHC said.(Reporting by Daniel Wallis; Editing by Eric Beech)
