Calgary police officers in Mexico in missing family case-By Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press | -AUG 5,14-YahooNews
CALGARY - Police investigators are in Mexico as part of an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of a five-year-old boy and his grandparents.The bodies of Nathan O'Brien and Alvin and Kathy Liknes have not been recovered since the three disappeared from the couple's Calgary home June 29, but police have laid three murder charges.The couple had been having an estate sale that weekend as they downsized ahead of a move to Edmonton and then to a residence in Mexico. Nathan was at his grandparents' house for a sleepover.A police spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that officers are in Mexico."It's just making sure that all the avenues are covered. There's nothing to it other than just crossing t's and dotting the i's," said Calgary police spokeswoman Emma Poole. "We're not going to get into details of how long they've been down there, where they are or how many went."Douglas Garland, 54, is facing two charges of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder.Garland was initially considered a person of interest in the case and was held on an identity theft charge unrelated to the disappearance of the trio.Garland had lived for several years in Vancouver using the identity of a dead person. Police alleged he was using that identity again when they brought him in for questioning in the missing persons case.That charge has now been stayed by the Crown. Police spent weeks searching Garland's rural residence near Airdrie, Alta., as well as the surrounding fields, bodies of water and properties.He is scheduled to return to court next week on the murder charges.— Follow @BillGraveland on Twitter
Ukraine keeps up anti-rebel offensive with nervous eye on Russia-Reuters-By Richard Balmforth-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian government forces, backed by warplanes, kept up a military offensive to claw back lost territory from pro-Russian separatists on Tuesday while casting a nervous eye at Russian military exercises over the border.Kiev's military said government forces had clashed 26 times with separatists in the Russian-speaking east in the 24 hours up to Tuesday morning, while fighter jets had struck at rebel positions and concentrations of military equipment.But it acknowledged that separatist forces had pushed it out of Yasynuvata, a railway junction near the main rebel-controlled city of Donetsk that it seized from separatists on Sunday.Tension rose further with Ukraine denouncing Russian war games near the joint border as a "provocation" and alleging violations of Ukrainian air space by Russian warplanes and drones, as well as cross-border shelling from Russia.Defence officials said separatists had also opened fire on unarmed Ukrainian soldiers on Tuesday as they crossed back into Ukraine from Russia, where they had taken shelter from fighting.Ukraine acknowledged on Monday that 311 soldiers and border guards had been forced by fighting with separatists to cross into Russia. It said they had destroyed their weapons before crossing the border, but the rebels said they had left them behind, enabling separatists to seize them. A military spokesman said there had been no casualties from the attack, though he said three Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 46 wounded in action against the separatists in the past 24 hours.Government troops have been battling the rebels since April in a war in the Russian-speaking east in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says more than 1,100 people including government forces, rebels and civilians have died.Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Russia of orchestrating the revolt and arming the rebels - something denied by Moscow. The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia. Fighting has intensified since the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner last month, killing all 298 people on board - an act the West laid at the door of the rebels. Russia and the rebels blame the disaster on Kiev's military offensive. Ukrainian forces say they have been making steady gains and have virtually encircled the separatists' second-largest stronghold of Luhansk, while rebels have declared a "state of siege" in Donetsk, the largest city they hold.
RISING ALARM
Defence spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Ukrainian forces, apart from engaging separatists, had come under mortar and artillery attack from Russia and there had been violations of Ukrainian airspace by Russian planes.He expressed alarm at Russian military exercises this week near their long joint border, including deployment of 100 fighter aircraft."Ukraine regards the carrying out of such unprecedented military exercises on the border with Ukraine as a provocation," he said, while a foreign ministry statement called for Russia to pull its forces back.Ukrainian security officials said separatist fighters were launching counter-attacks to break a tightening noose around the rebels who seek to set up pro-Russian 'people's republics' in the east of Ukraine.Lysenko conceded that Ukrainian troops had abandoned control of Yasynuvata, a railway hub whose recapture from the separatists had been trumpeted.Rebels at the scene on Tuesday told Reuters said they had lost at least one fighter, with three others injured, to shelling by Ukrainian forces."Every 15 minutes a shell comes over. They (the Ukrainians) fire from a distance and avoid fighting us directly," one separatist fighter said.Lysenko told reporters that Ukraine had moved up its main troops near Donetsk and Luhansk, but he would not be drawn on when they would launch an operation to storm the towns."We'll not talk about starting an offensive. We will speak only about liberating these towns," he said.(Additional reporting by Maria Tsvetkova in Donetsk and Pavel Polityuk and Natalia Zinets in Kiev; Editing by Will Waterman)
08/ 5/2014-VATICAN INSIDER-“Korean Christians teach us about martyrdom and announcing the Gospel”-Fernando Filoni-Interview with Cardinal Filoni, who says the Korean Church can grow like yeast, just as it says in the Gospel, and not through spiritual “marketing” strategies-Gianni Valente
rome-Cardinal Fernando Filoni is getting ready to pay what will be his second visit to Seoul in the space of just a few months. The Italian cardinal, who is the current Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples went on a pastoral visit to the country last October, to take part in the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the diocese of Suwon. During this visit he found out about the source of the Korean Catholic community’s extraordinary missionary energy and the forms in which this was expressed. Now, the head of the Vatican dicastery is preparing to accompany the Pope on his mid-August visit to the Asian country. Focus will also be directed at China. What lessons can be learnt from the experience of Korean Catholics and other Christian communities? “The Korean Church has a missionary verve in its DNA which has always manifested itself in a unique way in the country’s laity. Many years ago, when I was secretary at the Nunciature of Teheran, I remember a Korean couple came to see me and the lady said to me: I would like to ask you to be my husband’s godfather. I am Catholic, he is not, but he wants to be baptized. It was obviously not a priest or a missionary who was responsible for the apostolic work of the initial proclamation followed by the preparation period, but the wife. The husband’s decision to join the Catholic faith had come about within the context of everyday family life. These dynamics have always been the main vehicle for the transmission of the faith in Korea. Historically, it has always been baptized individuals who have proclaimed the Christian message by virtue of their baptism. There has never been a perception of the Korean Church being “imposed” from the outside, for example through traditional means of evangelization. When the Gospel reached Korea 300 years ag, there were five wise men who asked to get to know it better and then they invited Propaganda Fide to send the first missionaries. So event he first evangelizing body was local. These dynamics prefigure the pastoral vision and image of a Church that is in a “permanent state of mission” in an individual way. Pope Francis suggested everyone should be in a “permanent state of mission” in the “Evangelii Gaudium”.And yet, campaigns that seem to present evangelization as a business expansion strategy have crept in, even in Korea. Some have referred to it as “spiritual marketing”. “This temptation can spread anywhere, not just in Korea. It happens when so-called pastoral programmes – which are indeed useful tools – are seen as proselytism strategies modelled on publicity campaigns. This turns into a battle to see who can get the most “clients”. The apostolic mission is of a wholly different nature. What makes it attractive is the enthusiasm baptized individuals show in announcing the Christian message. This enthusiasm is often stronger among novices. These dynamics are very must alive in Korea and are a good antidote for those who wrongly view the Church as some kind of “product” of pastoral documents or identify it as some kind of service business run by bishops and priests, a business in which the laity are mere spectators or “users”. In Korea as in any other country, the Church grows like yeast – an image used in the Gospel - which ferments the dough silently, with an internal energy that changes the nature of a shapeless mass, transforming it into a clearly defined object.”Which elements of Christian martyrdom must remain fixed in people’s minds in order to avoid over-simplified interpretations and manipulation of information regarding Christian persecution? “In Korea, as in other countries, Christians were killed for being baptized. But becoming a Christian was also seen as an act of breaking away from ancestral customs and traditions based on the Confucian tradition. By becoming martyrs Christians demonstrated the impossibility of refusing the gift they had received in their own lives. Those who persecuted Christians, on the other hand, mostly perceived martyrdom as a punishment for what they saw as a rejection of tradition and the established order. Both of these inseparable factors need to be taken into consideration when interpreting martyrdom. Beatification is the gesture with which the Church emphasizes that baptism and the gift of faith grant an individual the grace to bear witness to the glory of God, even giving up their life to do so. In today’s culture, people often lose sight of this aspect of Christian martyrdom which risks being seen only as a violation of human rights or as a means of avenging related wrongdoings.”In the Apostolic Exhortation “Evangelii Gaudium” Pope Francis stresses that the Christian message cannot be identified exclusively with any one culture, not even with those that “have been closely associated with the preaching of the Gospel and the development of Christian thought.” Bearing this in mind, what are your thoughts regarding the Korea? “I was saying that in the beginning, the first scholars and academics who were interested in Christianity clearly perceived it as wisdom that had come from the outside, from the West. But with Matteo Ricci and his Chinese pupil Xu Quangqi we see a reflection on the very nature of this new Christian experience which is seen as distinct from the cultural and scientific elements typical of Western Christianity which China and the East came into contact with when Christianity was introduced here. When the Chinese emperor asked Xu Guangqi what led him to search for something outside China’s immense cultural heritage and thus become a Christian, Xu replied that in Christianity, he found something that could not possibly have come from humans; something which could not be conceived by any human culture, no matter how great: the doctrine of forgiveness, forgiving your own enemy! Xu intimated that this is how he intuited that Christianity does not originate from humans. That it is something totally different.”
Korea will naturally look at China. Many Chinese websites publish Pope Francis’ messages on a daily basis.“The attention Pope Francis receives in many spheres of Chinese society is an encouraging sign. The fact that many of his homilies and speeches are readily available offers spiritual comfort to Catholics in a country where the government still exercises control over religious life. The phenomenology the Pope refers to when expressing himself on social questions amongst other things, even gets the government thinking. China is a vast and complex reality which favours careful study and analysis of a situation over instant action.”What would be a sign of China opening up and showing a genuine interest? “One would hope that besides the curiosity the country feels towards the Holy Father, we will also see the implementation of the religious rights of the Chinese people, which are ratified by the Constitution. This recognizes the freedoms of the five main religious faiths. As far as Catholics are concerned, the country needs to ensure it applies the principles of the Constitution according to which the Catholic Church must not be considered as a foreign body that is seeking to “interfere” from the outside. Instead it should be seen as an essential part of many Chinese people’s lives, something which is ingrained in their culture and in the system of social relations.”Seeing religion as “subjected” to politics is misleading and represents a typically Marxist vision. It is still a negative vision people should be wary of. It is a dated and backward thinking vision based on fear.”Which criteria should be followed as a means of fostering fruitful relations between the local Church, the Holy See and civil authorities? “The communion between faithful and other Catholics around the world is part of the Catholic experience. Given the dynamic nature of the Catholic faith, one cannot say: you can think what you want in terms of principles but when it comes to the practical side of things, you must behave as I tell you. The hope is that the People’s Republic of China and the Holy See will also reach an agreement based on commitment, mutual respect and positive relations. In this agreement, the Holy See would have to recognize the limits facing its presence in the country, while the Chinese State would need to recognize that within its own spiritual and organisational environment, the Church must be allowed its own freedom. (“Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's”). No Chinese Catholic can renounce his or her visible communion with the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of Peter, and his role within the Church.”
Pope Francis will beatify 124 martyrs in Korea.“Discrimination, persecution and martyrdom have been a part of Korean Church history for at least two hundred years. The first scholars who took an interest in Christianity welcomed it right from the start as knowledge that had come from outside; this knowledge had come from China where it had arrived thanks to Matteo Ricci and the Jesuits. The first converts embraced the faith as a “light” that came to Korea from the outside and was not part of the cultural framework, based on Confucianism and Buddhism, that shaped local society. In Seoul I had the opportunity to celebrate mass in the Jeoldusan shrine on the “Hill of Martyrs”, where Christians were once beheaded and their mutilated body parts thrown into the river below and washed away. We’re talking about 10,000 Korean martyrs. But most of their names are unknown. Those who have been canonized so far and those who will be beatified by Pope Francis are just a drop in the ocean of anonymous saints. They are the ones whose historical background the Church has managed to trace. There is even a Chinese priest – Fr. Zhu Wen-mo – among the 124 individuals who will be beatified on 16 August.”

Juncker praises Greek austerity amid talks to disband troika-Today @ 09:29-AUG 5,14-EUOBSERVER-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Incoming European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday (4 August) said he did everything in his power to keep Greece within the eurozone during the height of the financial crisis.“I fought like a lion against the intention of those who wanted to have a grexit from the eurozone,” Juncker told reporters in Athens.Speaking alongside Greek prime minister Antonia Samaras, Juncker praised Greek efforts to stabilise its economy with the budget-cutting measures having contributed to record-high unemployment and a sharp rise in poverty.Greece’s unemployment rate at the onset of the financial crisis in May 2008 was 7.3 percent. It then shot up to a record high of 28 percent earlier this year with more than half of those under-25 without a job.But Juncker warned that the crisis is not yet over.“Many developments, events show us how fragile the situation is not only in Greece but elsewhere,” he said.As former chair of the eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, Juncker helped negotiate and supervise bailout packages for Greece, Ireland and Portugal.The eurogroup is seen as a ‘fourth’ member of the so-called 'troika' of lenders - the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.In a report earlier this year, MEPs described the troika as an “ad-hoc” set-up with no clear legal basis and with no democratic scrutiny.Representatives from the troika regularly go to bailed-out countries to assess how they are implementing reforms. Their reports form the basis for decisions on whether countries should get the next tranche of aid.
Troika set to be dismantled
But on Monday, Reuters reported that senior EU officials are now in early discussions on disbanding the troika and allowing Greece greater freedom to formulate and pursue its own policies."There would be no troika," an unnamed official told the news agency."There must be Greek ownership of reform. The Greeks have until October to come up with a programme, which would be decided by December for the start of 2015,” added the source.Greece obtained two bailouts totalling €240 billion.But the cash-strapped Greek government is still facing €320 billion in debt or the equivalent to 175 percent of its entire annual economic. One idea, reports Reuters, is to award Greece some debt relief for every milestone achieved once it commits to a six-year plan of reform. The IMF would still supervise the country until 2016.The troika would be scrapped in favour of a special European Commission taskforce. The taskforce would then check up on Greek reforms twice a year.In case things go wrong, Greece would get a precautionary eurozone loan and tighter supervision.

Several wounded as Afghan soldier opens fire at British military academy-Reuters-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
KABUL (Reuters) - A U.S. general was killed and more than a dozen people were wounded, including a German general, in the latest insider attack by a man believed to be an Afghan soldier, U.S., German and Afghan officials said on Tuesday.The slain general was identified in U.S. media reports as Major General Harold Greene, a senior officer with the international military command ISAF. He was the most senior U.S. military official killed in action overseas since the war in Vietnam, U.S. military officials said.The Pentagon declined to confirm Greene's identity.Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters that "many were seriously wounded" and the gunman was killed in the attack, which took place on Tuesday at the Marshal Fahim National Defense University, a training center in Kabul.The attack raised fresh questions about the ability of NATO soldiers to train and advise Afghan security forces as western nations gradually withdraw. The U.S. and German generals were on a routine visit, the Pentagon said.A U.S. official said the gunman fired on the foreign soldiers using a light machinegun. Afghanistan's Defense Ministry described him as a "terrorist in army uniform."The German military said its general was one of 14 coalition troops wounded in Tuesday's attack. It said his life was not in danger. Seven Americans and five British troops were among the wounded, an Afghan official said.Past insider attacks have eroded trust while straining foreign efforts to train Afghanistan's 350,000-strong security force and prepare them to fight the Taliban once most U.S. and NATO forces depart.U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with General Joe Dunford, who commands U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan, about the incident, Kirby said. He said the shooting was being investigated jointly by Afghan authorities and the international military coalition that is winding down its long mission in Afghanistan.The Afghan president was quick to condemn the attack, saying the delegation had been visiting the facility to help build Afghanistan's security forces.The Taliban says insider attacks reflect their ability to infiltrate the enemy. International military coalition officials say the incidents often arise over misunderstandings or altercations between troops.U.S. military officials said it was too soon to say whether the high-ranking officers had been specifically targeted by the shooter.
'PERNICIOUS THREAT'
In 2012, dozens of incidents forced international troops to take measures to reduce interaction with their Afghan partners. Since then, the number of insider attacks has fallen sharply.According to an April 2014 Pentagon report on the war, there were 15 insider attacks against foreign troops in 2013, down from 48 in 2012."Despite this sharp decline, these attacks may still have strategic effects on the campaign and could jeopardize the relationship between coalition and ANSF personnel," the report stated. "Insurgents remain intent on utilizing insider attacks as an integral component of their asymmetric strategy."The report concluded that armed guards known as 'guardian angels' accompanying coalition officials had reduced casualties by counter-attacking those who tried to kill foreigners.Meanwhile, insider attacks against Afghan forces were on the rise, the report said.Like other western nations, the United States is planning to leave a residual force in Afghanistan after the NATO mission ends this year, mainly focused on supporting Afghan forces. But U.S. officials say that first they must sign a bilateral troop deal, which cannot be finalized until Afghanistan resolves an election dispute and swears in a new president.The Western departure will leave Afghanistan's forces, built from scratch since 2001 and still struggling with problems of incomplete training, illiteracy and desertion, in charge of the bulk of the fight with the Taliban.Pentagon spokesman Kirby said that despite protective measures it would be impossible to eliminate the threat of such attacks entirely."The insider threat is ... a pernicious threat. And it's difficult to always ascertain," Kirby said. "Afghanistan is still a war zone."Ed Royce, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said the progress in protecting foreign troops serving in Afghanistan had been inadequate."Many brave U.S forces are working hard to help stand up the Afghan forces so they can continue to take the lead in Afghanistan," he said. "They don’t deserve to be victims of such cowardly terrorist attacks."In a similar attack on Tuesday, several people were wounded in eastern Paktia province when a policeman opened fire on international and Afghan forces, police chief Zalmay Oryakhil said.Adding to the tension, a NATO air strike hit a vehicle carrying civilians in western Herat province, local officials said, killing four members of a family returning from a wedding, including two children.(Additional reporting by Missy Ryan in Washington, Sabine Siebold in Berlin, Krista Mahr in Kabul, Jalil Ahmad Rezaee in Herat and Ahmad Sultan in Gardez; Editing by Janet Lawrence, Howard Goller and Grant McCool)
Iran nuclear talks likely on fringes of U.N. General Assembly: IRNA-Reuters-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran and six world powers will probably discuss a potential deal on Tehran's nuclear program on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) in September, the state news agency IRNA quoted a senior Iranian negotiator as saying.Negotiations are to resume in Europe next month after Iran agreed with the powers - the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China - in July to extend the process by four months after they failed to meet a July 20 deadline."A meeting between Iran and the (powers) is very likely to take place around the UNGA, but the level of the meeting has yet to be determined," IRNA quoted senior Iranian negotiator Abbas Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister, as saying on Monday.He said the Islamic Republic would take advantage of the opportunity provided by the General Assembly, where the main high-level session usually attended by senior officials starts on Sept. 24.Araghchi said it was possible that one or two bilateral meetings would be held between Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and his European Union counterpart, Catherine Ashton, who coordinates the six powers' approach to Iran.The senior diplomat added that multilateral and expert-level meetings could be held before the General Assembly.Iran and the six world powers struck an interim agreement last November under which Tehran agreed to suspend some of its sensitive nuclear activity in return for the easing of some international sanctions imposed on it.Araghchi said the next round of negotiations would probably be launched in Vienna or Geneva, but gave no precise date."In reality, we have found that, after eight months of negotiations, this is a very complicated process," he said.Iran wants a permanent agreement that would quickly remove all sanctions that have crippled its oil-based economy, but has balked at the powers' overriding demand that it greatly reduce its capacity to stockpile enriched uranium for nuclear fuel.Western powers suspect Iran's refusal to place strict limits on uranium enrichment capacity reflects an underlying agenda to preserve the option of accumulating enough fissile material to fuel nuclear bombs. Iran says it is refining uranium solely for a planned future network of civilian atomic power plants.Araghchi told IRNA: "What is certain is that the other side wants a longer time and we want a shorter time for negotiations and (realizing) our demands."An agreement could significantly reduce the risk of a wider Middle East conflict over the decade-old nuclear dispute.(Reporting by Michelle Moghtader; Editing by Mark Heinrich and Kevin Liffey)

Burlington flood: 2 months worth of rain falls within hours-CBC – AUG 5,14-YahooNews
Burlington is cleaning up after two months' worth of rain fell Monday night as thunderstorms swept through much of southern Ontario.And after highways were flooded and motorists were left stranded, police described the situation as "absolutely dangerous."Several sections of the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 407 were closed due to flooding around 7 p.m., wreaking havoc for motorists and cottage-goers heading home from Ontario's Civic Holiday long weekend.OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt called the situation "absolutely dangerous.”"I've been hearing reports of water, you know, up to the tops of vehicles, people are actually swimming from their cars," he told CBC News on Monday night.The catch basins were inundated with water and some of them were clogged, Schmidt said.At the height of the storm, much of Burlington — from Appleby Line to Brant Street, both north and south of the Qeen Elizabeth Way — was under water, Halton police said. "What happened was a number of the creeks and small little rivers throughout the city just got inundated with the amount of water we received, and so unfortunately they had nowhere to go and a number of them crested at the same time," said Staff Sgt. Stephanie Jamieson.
Long weekend traffic chaos
Rob Born, who was trapped in his car until a tow truck came to haul him out, kept his sense of humour and said the flood saved him a shower."The water came in up to the bottom of the steering wheel, so I'm pretty much soaked right now." he told CBC News Monday night. "Never had that happen before. You see it on TV all the time."Environment Canada issued a series of severe thunderstorm warnings and watches for much of southern Ontario Monday afternoon.It has not been a great Civic Holiday weekend for commuters in the region.The flood-related closures on the highways came less than an hour after the Burlington Skyway bridge reopened.The Toronto-bound lanes of the bridge were closed for four days after a dump truck with its bucket raised slammed through the bridge on Thursday, severely damaging its structure.In addition to highways, some residential streets in Burlington experienced flooding. Halton Region fielded about 2,200 calls, and city officials estimate that more than 500 basements were flooded.Mayor Rick Goldring's home was among those flooded. "I’ve lived in my home for 20 years," he said. "This is the first time I’ve had water in the basement."The city is assessing the damage, he said, and will take a closer look in the fall at whether it needs to improve its infrastructure to prevent this from happening again. Its immediate priority is to ensure that all roads are passable."There's obviously a concern about contamination in the water and a concern about some elderly residents who've been affected this year," Goldring said.

Calgary police officers in Mexico in missing family case-By Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press | -AUG 5,14-YahooNews
CALGARY - Police investigators are in Mexico as part of an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of a five-year-old boy and his grandparents.The bodies of Nathan O'Brien and Alvin and Kathy Liknes have not been recovered since the three disappeared from the couple's Calgary home June 29, but police have laid three murder charges.The couple had been having an estate sale that weekend as they downsized ahead of a move to Edmonton and then to a residence in Mexico. Nathan was at his grandparents' house for a sleepover.A police spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that officers are in Mexico."It's just making sure that all the avenues are covered. There's nothing to it other than just crossing t's and dotting the i's," said Calgary police spokeswoman Emma Poole. "We're not going to get into details of how long they've been down there, where they are or how many went."Douglas Garland, 54, is facing two charges of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder.Garland was initially considered a person of interest in the case and was held on an identity theft charge unrelated to the disappearance of the trio.Garland had lived for several years in Vancouver using the identity of a dead person. Police alleged he was using that identity again when they brought him in for questioning in the missing persons case.That charge has now been stayed by the Crown. Police spent weeks searching Garland's rural residence near Airdrie, Alta., as well as the surrounding fields, bodies of water and properties.He is scheduled to return to court next week on the murder charges.— Follow @BillGraveland on Twitter
Ukraine keeps up anti-rebel offensive with nervous eye on Russia-Reuters-By Richard Balmforth-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian government forces, backed by warplanes, kept up a military offensive to claw back lost territory from pro-Russian separatists on Tuesday while casting a nervous eye at Russian military exercises over the border.Kiev's military said government forces had clashed 26 times with separatists in the Russian-speaking east in the 24 hours up to Tuesday morning, while fighter jets had struck at rebel positions and concentrations of military equipment.But it acknowledged that separatist forces had pushed it out of Yasynuvata, a railway junction near the main rebel-controlled city of Donetsk that it seized from separatists on Sunday.Tension rose further with Ukraine denouncing Russian war games near the joint border as a "provocation" and alleging violations of Ukrainian air space by Russian warplanes and drones, as well as cross-border shelling from Russia.Defence officials said separatists had also opened fire on unarmed Ukrainian soldiers on Tuesday as they crossed back into Ukraine from Russia, where they had taken shelter from fighting.Ukraine acknowledged on Monday that 311 soldiers and border guards had been forced by fighting with separatists to cross into Russia. It said they had destroyed their weapons before crossing the border, but the rebels said they had left them behind, enabling separatists to seize them. A military spokesman said there had been no casualties from the attack, though he said three Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 46 wounded in action against the separatists in the past 24 hours.Government troops have been battling the rebels since April in a war in the Russian-speaking east in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says more than 1,100 people including government forces, rebels and civilians have died.Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Russia of orchestrating the revolt and arming the rebels - something denied by Moscow. The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia. Fighting has intensified since the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner last month, killing all 298 people on board - an act the West laid at the door of the rebels. Russia and the rebels blame the disaster on Kiev's military offensive. Ukrainian forces say they have been making steady gains and have virtually encircled the separatists' second-largest stronghold of Luhansk, while rebels have declared a "state of siege" in Donetsk, the largest city they hold.
RISING ALARM
Defence spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Ukrainian forces, apart from engaging separatists, had come under mortar and artillery attack from Russia and there had been violations of Ukrainian airspace by Russian planes.He expressed alarm at Russian military exercises this week near their long joint border, including deployment of 100 fighter aircraft."Ukraine regards the carrying out of such unprecedented military exercises on the border with Ukraine as a provocation," he said, while a foreign ministry statement called for Russia to pull its forces back.Ukrainian security officials said separatist fighters were launching counter-attacks to break a tightening noose around the rebels who seek to set up pro-Russian 'people's republics' in the east of Ukraine.Lysenko conceded that Ukrainian troops had abandoned control of Yasynuvata, a railway hub whose recapture from the separatists had been trumpeted.Rebels at the scene on Tuesday told Reuters said they had lost at least one fighter, with three others injured, to shelling by Ukrainian forces."Every 15 minutes a shell comes over. They (the Ukrainians) fire from a distance and avoid fighting us directly," one separatist fighter said.Lysenko told reporters that Ukraine had moved up its main troops near Donetsk and Luhansk, but he would not be drawn on when they would launch an operation to storm the towns."We'll not talk about starting an offensive. We will speak only about liberating these towns," he said.(Additional reporting by Maria Tsvetkova in Donetsk and Pavel Polityuk and Natalia Zinets in Kiev; Editing by Will Waterman)
08/ 5/2014-VATICAN INSIDER-“Korean Christians teach us about martyrdom and announcing the Gospel”-Fernando Filoni-Interview with Cardinal Filoni, who says the Korean Church can grow like yeast, just as it says in the Gospel, and not through spiritual “marketing” strategies-Gianni Valente
rome-Cardinal Fernando Filoni is getting ready to pay what will be his second visit to Seoul in the space of just a few months. The Italian cardinal, who is the current Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples went on a pastoral visit to the country last October, to take part in the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the diocese of Suwon. During this visit he found out about the source of the Korean Catholic community’s extraordinary missionary energy and the forms in which this was expressed. Now, the head of the Vatican dicastery is preparing to accompany the Pope on his mid-August visit to the Asian country. Focus will also be directed at China. What lessons can be learnt from the experience of Korean Catholics and other Christian communities? “The Korean Church has a missionary verve in its DNA which has always manifested itself in a unique way in the country’s laity. Many years ago, when I was secretary at the Nunciature of Teheran, I remember a Korean couple came to see me and the lady said to me: I would like to ask you to be my husband’s godfather. I am Catholic, he is not, but he wants to be baptized. It was obviously not a priest or a missionary who was responsible for the apostolic work of the initial proclamation followed by the preparation period, but the wife. The husband’s decision to join the Catholic faith had come about within the context of everyday family life. These dynamics have always been the main vehicle for the transmission of the faith in Korea. Historically, it has always been baptized individuals who have proclaimed the Christian message by virtue of their baptism. There has never been a perception of the Korean Church being “imposed” from the outside, for example through traditional means of evangelization. When the Gospel reached Korea 300 years ag, there were five wise men who asked to get to know it better and then they invited Propaganda Fide to send the first missionaries. So event he first evangelizing body was local. These dynamics prefigure the pastoral vision and image of a Church that is in a “permanent state of mission” in an individual way. Pope Francis suggested everyone should be in a “permanent state of mission” in the “Evangelii Gaudium”.And yet, campaigns that seem to present evangelization as a business expansion strategy have crept in, even in Korea. Some have referred to it as “spiritual marketing”. “This temptation can spread anywhere, not just in Korea. It happens when so-called pastoral programmes – which are indeed useful tools – are seen as proselytism strategies modelled on publicity campaigns. This turns into a battle to see who can get the most “clients”. The apostolic mission is of a wholly different nature. What makes it attractive is the enthusiasm baptized individuals show in announcing the Christian message. This enthusiasm is often stronger among novices. These dynamics are very must alive in Korea and are a good antidote for those who wrongly view the Church as some kind of “product” of pastoral documents or identify it as some kind of service business run by bishops and priests, a business in which the laity are mere spectators or “users”. In Korea as in any other country, the Church grows like yeast – an image used in the Gospel - which ferments the dough silently, with an internal energy that changes the nature of a shapeless mass, transforming it into a clearly defined object.”Which elements of Christian martyrdom must remain fixed in people’s minds in order to avoid over-simplified interpretations and manipulation of information regarding Christian persecution? “In Korea, as in other countries, Christians were killed for being baptized. But becoming a Christian was also seen as an act of breaking away from ancestral customs and traditions based on the Confucian tradition. By becoming martyrs Christians demonstrated the impossibility of refusing the gift they had received in their own lives. Those who persecuted Christians, on the other hand, mostly perceived martyrdom as a punishment for what they saw as a rejection of tradition and the established order. Both of these inseparable factors need to be taken into consideration when interpreting martyrdom. Beatification is the gesture with which the Church emphasizes that baptism and the gift of faith grant an individual the grace to bear witness to the glory of God, even giving up their life to do so. In today’s culture, people often lose sight of this aspect of Christian martyrdom which risks being seen only as a violation of human rights or as a means of avenging related wrongdoings.”In the Apostolic Exhortation “Evangelii Gaudium” Pope Francis stresses that the Christian message cannot be identified exclusively with any one culture, not even with those that “have been closely associated with the preaching of the Gospel and the development of Christian thought.” Bearing this in mind, what are your thoughts regarding the Korea? “I was saying that in the beginning, the first scholars and academics who were interested in Christianity clearly perceived it as wisdom that had come from the outside, from the West. But with Matteo Ricci and his Chinese pupil Xu Quangqi we see a reflection on the very nature of this new Christian experience which is seen as distinct from the cultural and scientific elements typical of Western Christianity which China and the East came into contact with when Christianity was introduced here. When the Chinese emperor asked Xu Guangqi what led him to search for something outside China’s immense cultural heritage and thus become a Christian, Xu replied that in Christianity, he found something that could not possibly have come from humans; something which could not be conceived by any human culture, no matter how great: the doctrine of forgiveness, forgiving your own enemy! Xu intimated that this is how he intuited that Christianity does not originate from humans. That it is something totally different.”
Korea will naturally look at China. Many Chinese websites publish Pope Francis’ messages on a daily basis.“The attention Pope Francis receives in many spheres of Chinese society is an encouraging sign. The fact that many of his homilies and speeches are readily available offers spiritual comfort to Catholics in a country where the government still exercises control over religious life. The phenomenology the Pope refers to when expressing himself on social questions amongst other things, even gets the government thinking. China is a vast and complex reality which favours careful study and analysis of a situation over instant action.”What would be a sign of China opening up and showing a genuine interest? “One would hope that besides the curiosity the country feels towards the Holy Father, we will also see the implementation of the religious rights of the Chinese people, which are ratified by the Constitution. This recognizes the freedoms of the five main religious faiths. As far as Catholics are concerned, the country needs to ensure it applies the principles of the Constitution according to which the Catholic Church must not be considered as a foreign body that is seeking to “interfere” from the outside. Instead it should be seen as an essential part of many Chinese people’s lives, something which is ingrained in their culture and in the system of social relations.”Seeing religion as “subjected” to politics is misleading and represents a typically Marxist vision. It is still a negative vision people should be wary of. It is a dated and backward thinking vision based on fear.”Which criteria should be followed as a means of fostering fruitful relations between the local Church, the Holy See and civil authorities? “The communion between faithful and other Catholics around the world is part of the Catholic experience. Given the dynamic nature of the Catholic faith, one cannot say: you can think what you want in terms of principles but when it comes to the practical side of things, you must behave as I tell you. The hope is that the People’s Republic of China and the Holy See will also reach an agreement based on commitment, mutual respect and positive relations. In this agreement, the Holy See would have to recognize the limits facing its presence in the country, while the Chinese State would need to recognize that within its own spiritual and organisational environment, the Church must be allowed its own freedom. (“Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's”). No Chinese Catholic can renounce his or her visible communion with the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of Peter, and his role within the Church.”
Pope Francis will beatify 124 martyrs in Korea.“Discrimination, persecution and martyrdom have been a part of Korean Church history for at least two hundred years. The first scholars who took an interest in Christianity welcomed it right from the start as knowledge that had come from outside; this knowledge had come from China where it had arrived thanks to Matteo Ricci and the Jesuits. The first converts embraced the faith as a “light” that came to Korea from the outside and was not part of the cultural framework, based on Confucianism and Buddhism, that shaped local society. In Seoul I had the opportunity to celebrate mass in the Jeoldusan shrine on the “Hill of Martyrs”, where Christians were once beheaded and their mutilated body parts thrown into the river below and washed away. We’re talking about 10,000 Korean martyrs. But most of their names are unknown. Those who have been canonized so far and those who will be beatified by Pope Francis are just a drop in the ocean of anonymous saints. They are the ones whose historical background the Church has managed to trace. There is even a Chinese priest – Fr. Zhu Wen-mo – among the 124 individuals who will be beatified on 16 August.”

Juncker praises Greek austerity amid talks to disband troika-Today @ 09:29-AUG 5,14-EUOBSERVER-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Incoming European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday (4 August) said he did everything in his power to keep Greece within the eurozone during the height of the financial crisis.“I fought like a lion against the intention of those who wanted to have a grexit from the eurozone,” Juncker told reporters in Athens.Speaking alongside Greek prime minister Antonia Samaras, Juncker praised Greek efforts to stabilise its economy with the budget-cutting measures having contributed to record-high unemployment and a sharp rise in poverty.Greece’s unemployment rate at the onset of the financial crisis in May 2008 was 7.3 percent. It then shot up to a record high of 28 percent earlier this year with more than half of those under-25 without a job.But Juncker warned that the crisis is not yet over.“Many developments, events show us how fragile the situation is not only in Greece but elsewhere,” he said.As former chair of the eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, Juncker helped negotiate and supervise bailout packages for Greece, Ireland and Portugal.The eurogroup is seen as a ‘fourth’ member of the so-called 'troika' of lenders - the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.In a report earlier this year, MEPs described the troika as an “ad-hoc” set-up with no clear legal basis and with no democratic scrutiny.Representatives from the troika regularly go to bailed-out countries to assess how they are implementing reforms. Their reports form the basis for decisions on whether countries should get the next tranche of aid.
Troika set to be dismantled
But on Monday, Reuters reported that senior EU officials are now in early discussions on disbanding the troika and allowing Greece greater freedom to formulate and pursue its own policies."There would be no troika," an unnamed official told the news agency."There must be Greek ownership of reform. The Greeks have until October to come up with a programme, which would be decided by December for the start of 2015,” added the source.Greece obtained two bailouts totalling €240 billion.But the cash-strapped Greek government is still facing €320 billion in debt or the equivalent to 175 percent of its entire annual economic. One idea, reports Reuters, is to award Greece some debt relief for every milestone achieved once it commits to a six-year plan of reform. The IMF would still supervise the country until 2016.The troika would be scrapped in favour of a special European Commission taskforce. The taskforce would then check up on Greek reforms twice a year.In case things go wrong, Greece would get a precautionary eurozone loan and tighter supervision.

Several wounded as Afghan soldier opens fire at British military academy-Reuters-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
KABUL (Reuters) - A U.S. general was killed and more than a dozen people were wounded, including a German general, in the latest insider attack by a man believed to be an Afghan soldier, U.S., German and Afghan officials said on Tuesday.The slain general was identified in U.S. media reports as Major General Harold Greene, a senior officer with the international military command ISAF. He was the most senior U.S. military official killed in action overseas since the war in Vietnam, U.S. military officials said.The Pentagon declined to confirm Greene's identity.Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters that "many were seriously wounded" and the gunman was killed in the attack, which took place on Tuesday at the Marshal Fahim National Defense University, a training center in Kabul.The attack raised fresh questions about the ability of NATO soldiers to train and advise Afghan security forces as western nations gradually withdraw. The U.S. and German generals were on a routine visit, the Pentagon said.A U.S. official said the gunman fired on the foreign soldiers using a light machinegun. Afghanistan's Defense Ministry described him as a "terrorist in army uniform."The German military said its general was one of 14 coalition troops wounded in Tuesday's attack. It said his life was not in danger. Seven Americans and five British troops were among the wounded, an Afghan official said.Past insider attacks have eroded trust while straining foreign efforts to train Afghanistan's 350,000-strong security force and prepare them to fight the Taliban once most U.S. and NATO forces depart.U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with General Joe Dunford, who commands U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan, about the incident, Kirby said. He said the shooting was being investigated jointly by Afghan authorities and the international military coalition that is winding down its long mission in Afghanistan.The Afghan president was quick to condemn the attack, saying the delegation had been visiting the facility to help build Afghanistan's security forces.The Taliban says insider attacks reflect their ability to infiltrate the enemy. International military coalition officials say the incidents often arise over misunderstandings or altercations between troops.U.S. military officials said it was too soon to say whether the high-ranking officers had been specifically targeted by the shooter.
'PERNICIOUS THREAT'
In 2012, dozens of incidents forced international troops to take measures to reduce interaction with their Afghan partners. Since then, the number of insider attacks has fallen sharply.According to an April 2014 Pentagon report on the war, there were 15 insider attacks against foreign troops in 2013, down from 48 in 2012."Despite this sharp decline, these attacks may still have strategic effects on the campaign and could jeopardize the relationship between coalition and ANSF personnel," the report stated. "Insurgents remain intent on utilizing insider attacks as an integral component of their asymmetric strategy."The report concluded that armed guards known as 'guardian angels' accompanying coalition officials had reduced casualties by counter-attacking those who tried to kill foreigners.Meanwhile, insider attacks against Afghan forces were on the rise, the report said.Like other western nations, the United States is planning to leave a residual force in Afghanistan after the NATO mission ends this year, mainly focused on supporting Afghan forces. But U.S. officials say that first they must sign a bilateral troop deal, which cannot be finalized until Afghanistan resolves an election dispute and swears in a new president.The Western departure will leave Afghanistan's forces, built from scratch since 2001 and still struggling with problems of incomplete training, illiteracy and desertion, in charge of the bulk of the fight with the Taliban.Pentagon spokesman Kirby said that despite protective measures it would be impossible to eliminate the threat of such attacks entirely."The insider threat is ... a pernicious threat. And it's difficult to always ascertain," Kirby said. "Afghanistan is still a war zone."Ed Royce, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said the progress in protecting foreign troops serving in Afghanistan had been inadequate."Many brave U.S forces are working hard to help stand up the Afghan forces so they can continue to take the lead in Afghanistan," he said. "They don’t deserve to be victims of such cowardly terrorist attacks."In a similar attack on Tuesday, several people were wounded in eastern Paktia province when a policeman opened fire on international and Afghan forces, police chief Zalmay Oryakhil said.Adding to the tension, a NATO air strike hit a vehicle carrying civilians in western Herat province, local officials said, killing four members of a family returning from a wedding, including two children.(Additional reporting by Missy Ryan in Washington, Sabine Siebold in Berlin, Krista Mahr in Kabul, Jalil Ahmad Rezaee in Herat and Ahmad Sultan in Gardez; Editing by Janet Lawrence, Howard Goller and Grant McCool)
Iran nuclear talks likely on fringes of U.N. General Assembly: IRNA-Reuters-AUG 5,14-YahooNews
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran and six world powers will probably discuss a potential deal on Tehran's nuclear program on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) in September, the state news agency IRNA quoted a senior Iranian negotiator as saying.Negotiations are to resume in Europe next month after Iran agreed with the powers - the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China - in July to extend the process by four months after they failed to meet a July 20 deadline."A meeting between Iran and the (powers) is very likely to take place around the UNGA, but the level of the meeting has yet to be determined," IRNA quoted senior Iranian negotiator Abbas Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister, as saying on Monday.He said the Islamic Republic would take advantage of the opportunity provided by the General Assembly, where the main high-level session usually attended by senior officials starts on Sept. 24.Araghchi said it was possible that one or two bilateral meetings would be held between Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and his European Union counterpart, Catherine Ashton, who coordinates the six powers' approach to Iran.The senior diplomat added that multilateral and expert-level meetings could be held before the General Assembly.Iran and the six world powers struck an interim agreement last November under which Tehran agreed to suspend some of its sensitive nuclear activity in return for the easing of some international sanctions imposed on it.Araghchi said the next round of negotiations would probably be launched in Vienna or Geneva, but gave no precise date."In reality, we have found that, after eight months of negotiations, this is a very complicated process," he said.Iran wants a permanent agreement that would quickly remove all sanctions that have crippled its oil-based economy, but has balked at the powers' overriding demand that it greatly reduce its capacity to stockpile enriched uranium for nuclear fuel.Western powers suspect Iran's refusal to place strict limits on uranium enrichment capacity reflects an underlying agenda to preserve the option of accumulating enough fissile material to fuel nuclear bombs. Iran says it is refining uranium solely for a planned future network of civilian atomic power plants.Araghchi told IRNA: "What is certain is that the other side wants a longer time and we want a shorter time for negotiations and (realizing) our demands."An agreement could significantly reduce the risk of a wider Middle East conflict over the decade-old nuclear dispute.(Reporting by Michelle Moghtader; Editing by Mark Heinrich and Kevin Liffey)

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Burlington flood: 2 months worth of rain falls within hours-CBC – AUG 5,14-YahooNews
Burlington is cleaning up after two months' worth of rain fell Monday night as thunderstorms swept through much of southern Ontario.And after highways were flooded and motorists were left stranded, police described the situation as "absolutely dangerous."Several sections of the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 407 were closed due to flooding around 7 p.m., wreaking havoc for motorists and cottage-goers heading home from Ontario's Civic Holiday long weekend.OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt called the situation "absolutely dangerous.”"I've been hearing reports of water, you know, up to the tops of vehicles, people are actually swimming from their cars," he told CBC News on Monday night.The catch basins were inundated with water and some of them were clogged, Schmidt said.At the height of the storm, much of Burlington — from Appleby Line to Brant Street, both north and south of the Qeen Elizabeth Way — was under water, Halton police said. "What happened was a number of the creeks and small little rivers throughout the city just got inundated with the amount of water we received, and so unfortunately they had nowhere to go and a number of them crested at the same time," said Staff Sgt. Stephanie Jamieson.
Long weekend traffic chaos
Rob Born, who was trapped in his car until a tow truck came to haul him out, kept his sense of humour and said the flood saved him a shower."The water came in up to the bottom of the steering wheel, so I'm pretty much soaked right now." he told CBC News Monday night. "Never had that happen before. You see it on TV all the time."Environment Canada issued a series of severe thunderstorm warnings and watches for much of southern Ontario Monday afternoon.It has not been a great Civic Holiday weekend for commuters in the region.The flood-related closures on the highways came less than an hour after the Burlington Skyway bridge reopened.The Toronto-bound lanes of the bridge were closed for four days after a dump truck with its bucket raised slammed through the bridge on Thursday, severely damaging its structure.In addition to highways, some residential streets in Burlington experienced flooding. Halton Region fielded about 2,200 calls, and city officials estimate that more than 500 basements were flooded.Mayor Rick Goldring's home was among those flooded. "I’ve lived in my home for 20 years," he said. "This is the first time I’ve had water in the basement."The city is assessing the damage, he said, and will take a closer look in the fall at whether it needs to improve its infrastructure to prevent this from happening again. Its immediate priority is to ensure that all roads are passable."There's obviously a concern about contamination in the water and a concern about some elderly residents who've been affected this year," Goldring said.
