HRW slams Jordan for rebuffing Palestinian refugees from Syria-AFP-AUG 7,14-YAHOONEWS
Amman (AFP) - Advocacy group Human Rights Watch accused Jordan Thursday of refusing entry to, or forcibly deporting, Palestinian refugees escaping Syria in what it called a defiance of the country's international obligations.In a report released in Amman, the New York-based group said Jordan has officially banned their entry since January 2013 and has forcibly deported more than 100, including women and children, who managed to enter the country since mid-2012.The report said Jordan’s rebuff of Palestinians fleeing Syria contrasts with its treatment of Syrians, more than 600,000 of whom have taken shelter in Jordan since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011."Palestinian refugees face the same violence, killing and destruction that cause Syrian nationals themselves to want to flee to different countries," HRW Middle East researcher Adam Coogle told a news conference in Amman.The study, entitled "Not Welcome: Jordan's Treatment of Palestinians Escaping Syria," is based on interviews with more than 30 people affected by the non-admission policy, Coogle said.According to the report, most of Syria’s neighbouring countries have also placed entry restrictions on Palestinians from Syria, "leaving thousands stuck and facing great dangers."“No refugees fleeing the violence in Syria -– Syrians and Palestinians alike –- should be denied entry and forced back against their will,” HRW said, urging Jordan to rescind its ban.It also urged an end to deportations, saying Jordanian authorities often separated and deported Palestinian men from their families, "in some cases leaving the families without their primary source of income.""The deportations violate Jordan’s international obligation of non-refoulement, the prohibition in international law on returning refugees and asylum seekers to places where their lives or freedom would be threatened, or the return of anyone to the risk of torture," HRW said.
Tories seem to have trouble defining Justin Trudeau to voters-By Andy Radia | Canada Politics – aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
There's a political theory that goes something like this: Define your opponent before they have an opportunity to define themselves.It's a theory that, when executed well, can pay huge dividends.In 2011, the Tories did a masterful job in defining then-Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as someone who was "just visiting." They launched an ad campaign portraying Ignatieff as someone who came back to Canada just because he wanted to be prime minister.Incidentally, it looks as if Ignatieff was "just visiting." He's now back teaching at Harvard after leading the Liberals to third-party status for the first time in its storied history.In 2012, as explained politic365.com, the Barack Obama campaign defined Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as an "Out of Touch Scrooge McDuck."It worked: come election day 2012, the American public dismissed Romney as an aloof multi-millionaire who couldn't relate to the average Joe.We're also seeing Canada's Conservative Party deploy the 'define your opponent' strategy against the opposition leaders in the lead-up to the 2015 federal election.Their narrative for the NDP leader came easy. If you believe the Conservatives, Thomas Mulcair is "Angry Tom," with extreme views that would essentially freeze Canada's economy.Defining Justin Trudeau, however, has been a little more challenging for them.They started out – the day after Trudeau won the Liberal leadership in 2013 – with an ad campaign suggesting that Trudeau is "in over his head." They suggested that he lacked the substance, the knowledge and the know-how to be prime minister.While that may have entertained the Tory base, it didn't help stall Trudeau's momentum in the opinion polls.They've since moved on to the narrative about Trudeau and his policy about legalizing and regulating marijuana. The Tories have been circulating leaflets claiming that Trudeau has been "speaking to elementary school students about the benefits of marijuana."They even used the Trudeau/pot theme in the recent Scarborough-Agincourt byelection to absolutely no success. The Liberals handily won the riding by a much wider margin than the 2011 election.And now there appears to be a third narrative about Trudeau that seems to be emerging: That Trudeau is weak on crime and soft on terrorists.This narrative seems to be pushed by the right-leaning Sun News Network whose website's "top story" on Wednesday was titled: "Trudeau lambasted for visiting mosque linked to al-Qaeda recruitment.""Justin Trudeau is being accused of 'intellectual dishonesty' for his visiting a Montreal-area mosque that American government sources say has been an Al-Qaeda recruitment centre," notes the column."The Liberal leader reluctantly acknowledged last weekend he'd attended the Al-Sunnah Al-Nabawiah mosque, which follows the strict Wahhabist interpretation of Islam (codified and practiced in Saudi Arabia) then cast doubt on the veracity of the American government's designation."The article goes on to quote a PMO spokesperson who says this:"First, Justin Trudeau refused to condemn the horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon – instead he tried to rationalize the actions of evil individuals. It's clear that Justin Trudeau cannot be trusted to keep Canadians safe."Will this narrative work? Nothing else has.According to the latest Forum Research poll, the Liberals have opened up a 16-point lead on the Conservatives while Trudeau maintains just a slight advantage in the preferred prime minister question. Conservative supporters will tell you that it's still a long time before the election. They might argue that mid-term opinions polls mean very little.But if one of their election tactics is to define Justin Trudeau – as it seems to be – they certainly haven't done it yet.And, if they don't do it soon, they run the risk of Trudeau actually defining himself first.

Hawaii braces for Hurricane Iselle, with Julio right behind-Reuters-By Malia Mattoch McManus-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
HONOLULU (Reuters) - Hurricane Iselle barreled west across the Pacific Ocean toward the Hawaiian Islands on Wednesday, where officials warned residents and tourists of possible flooding and mudslides and ordered schools closed.The storm was about 700 miles (1,130 km) east of Hilo, on the Island of Hawaii, at 7 a.m. Hawaiian Standard Time on Wednesday and heading west-northwest at 15 miles per hour (24 km per hour) with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (137 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center.Iselle was expected to weaken into a tropical storm before reaching the islands sometime on Friday morning but forecasters said it could still bring high winds and 10-to-15-foot (three-to-4.5-meter) surf to the tourist haven."The Big Island has two peaks of up to 14,000 feet. If the hurricane makes a direct hit over the Big Island, how much of a blocking effect that has we don't know," said Ray Tanabe, acting director for the National Weather Service in the pacific region.Tracking about two days behind Iselle was hurricane Julio, which was upgraded from a tropical storm on Wednesday and could also bring heavy surf and high winds.Residents stocked up on basics as authorities in Honolulu advised them to prepare a seven-day disaster supply kit. Shoppers waited in lines at supermarkets with carts full of bottled water, batteries and nonperishable food."With Hawaii's remoteness, it could be as long as a week before a full disaster relief operation can be initiated," the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management said in a statement. Honolulu school teacher Gina Nakahodo said she had felt calm until she reached the empty water aisle of her local grocery store early on Tuesday."We've had so many storms that have passed us by, but with these two back to back you begin to worry. Then all of the sudden the aisles are empty and there's no water and it makes your heart pound a little," Nakahodo said.She said she talked to a couple visiting from California and told them everything was going to be OK. "But in the back of my mind I'm wondering, 'what's going to happen?'," she said.The Coast Guard warned people to prepare for the onset of heavy weather by Thursday, with the two hurricanes expected to generate extreme sea conditions, storm surge and surf of 10 to 15 feet throughout the island chain.The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch from early Thursday to early Saturday, with Hurricane Iselle expected to bring heavy rains to the islands.Public schools would be closed on Thursday on the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and the Big Island, the Hawaii State Department of Education said.Julio was expected to arrive at the Hawaiian Islands as early as Sunday, but officials said with Iselle on their doorstep, that storm was still their primary focus.(Additional reporting by Eric M.

U.S. weather forecaster lowers chance of El Nino in autumn-Reuters-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
(Reuters) - A U.S. weather forecaster scaled down its estimate for the chances of the El Nino weather phenomenon occurring during autumn and early winter in the Northern Hemisphere to 65 percent, from an earlier estimate of 80 percent.The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), an agency of the National Weather Service, had made its earlier prediction in July."The consensus of forecasters expects El Nino to emerge.during August-October and to peak at weak strength during the late fall and early winter," the agency said in a monthly update on Thursday.Last month, the CPC forecast a 70 percent chance for El Nino to occur in the summer."Over the last month, model forecasts have slightly delayed the El Nino onset," it said.The agency downplayed the possibility of a strong El Nino, saying there was a higher chance of a weak to moderate event.(Reporting by Marcy Nicholson; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe and Bernadette Baum)

Smoke won't have lasting health effects: NWT health official-CBC – AUG 7,14-YAHOONEWS
N.W.T.'s chief medical official says healthy people whose lungs get irritated by forest fire smoke will recover a few days after the smoke clears.Dr. Andre Corriveau, the territory's chief medical officer of health, says data from previous wildfires in California and Australia help determine what effects smoke can have on a person's health.He says "prolonged" exposure to smoke is measured in years, not in weeks. "It does have a health impact that can be quite serious for people who have predisposing conditions but for the average person they seem to recover fairly well, and whether it's one week or six weeks it's still considered relatively short exposure," he says.Corriveau cautions people with pre-existing health conditions like heart problems, asthma or other lung problems, to stay indoors and limit outdoor activity when the smoke is noticeably thick.Corriveau says this applies especially to the elderly, pregnant women, newborn babies and young children. Air pollution levels in Yellowknife have frequently gone off the chart in recent weeks as smoke from some the territory's nearly 300 forest fires blows into the city.Earlier this week, Yellowknife resident Dale Bouchard said she was getting out of town so her kids could breathe some clean air."I'm getting sick of it and I'm really, really disappointed and actually very confused as to why the territorial government hasn't done something for the people of Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories," she said."The kids have been smelling this heavy smoke all summer. They're coughing, got headaches. We have to keep them indoors all the time and it's just been awful, even for adults."Resident Jonathan Churcher said he has taken to wearing a face mask."What are we actually breathing? What toxins are in the air," he said.He said his mask isn't airtight, "but it does flex as I breathe in and out so I know a lot of the air is actually coming through the filter."
Masks have pros and cons
For workers who spend most of the day outside, Corriveau suggests taking more frequent breaks, longer breaks and going indoors to a place where they can recuperate.He says workers can also ask a supervisor for a specialized face mask."An N95 mask can make a difference although they're uncomfortable to wear, especially if you're exerting yourself," he said."People can take more frequent breaks, longer breaks and go indoors and go to a place where they can recuperate."Corriveau says only N95 or N99 masks will make a difference in filtering particulates. But he warns that, besides being uncomfortable, the mask will stop working as soon as it gets humid and on a hot day, and an N95 or N99 mask will only last half an hour before it has to be changed.

First water test results from breached tailings pond expected today-By The Canadian Press | -aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
LIKELY, B.C. - An early assessment of the environmental impact of a mine tailings pond failure in British Columbia is expected today when the first water-testing results may be released.Provincial Mines Minister Bill Bennett has so far said it's too soon to estimate the damage caused by the Mount Polley Mine breach, but says he hopes for positive news.The government has promised a thorough investigation into the actions of the provincial government and Imperial Metals in the wake of Monday's dam collapse.A tailings pond dam at the mine failed on Monday, sending 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of toxic silt into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake.The breach prompted a water-use ban along surrounding lakes and rivers and the B.C. environment ministry has collected water samples in the area.The company's president has said the water is already almost drinking quality, but a ministry official disagreed, based on metals found in the water at other times in recent years.Sharon Borkowski owns Northern Lights Lodge in the community closest to the disaster and she says while she's optimistic with the company's statements that the water is safe, she's still cautiously awaiting testing results.Imperial Metals was formally ordered Wednesday to clean up the site and prevent more material from escaping.
Ukraine government suspends ceasefire at MH17 crash site after recovery mission halted-Reuters-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV (Reuters) - The Ukrainian government said on Thursday it was suspending a ceasefire with separatist rebels at the crash site of the Malaysian airliner after an international recovery mission had been halted.The Netherlands, which lost 196 of its citizens in the 298 passengers and crew who died on flight MH17 which was shot down on July 17, said on Wednesday it was halting the recovery mission because of continued fighting in the region.Prime Minister Mark Rutte told journalists in The Hague the risk posed to the team of 70 Australian, Dutch and Malaysian experts was too great to continue working in the area.A Ukrainian defense spokesman said Ukrainian forces were not carrying out any military action within 20 km (12 miles) of the site.A government statement said later: "Experts were in agreement that the ceasefire regime in the area of the downing of the plane ... will not be in force until there is a second stage of the investigation."(Writing By Richard Balmforth; Editing by Alison Williams)
Russia imposes retaliatory sanctions on EU-Today @ 09:30-aug 7,14-euobserver-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Moscow is slapping a ban on EU-imported fruit and vegetables and food from the US in retaliation for western economic sanctions.A Russian decree published Wednesday (6 August) called upon government officials to put forward a list of agricultural products and raw materials to be banned for up to one year.The decree does not list the specific products or name the countries although the government is expected to announce the full list on Thursday.But Russia's food safety watchdog VPSS, Alexei Alexeenko, was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying fruit and vegetables from member states backing the EU sanctions would be blacklisted."Fruits and vegetables from the European Union will also be under full ban," he said.According to RIA Novosti, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Slovakia, and Spain could be on the Russian list.Among the products cited by country are meats, poultry, fish, drinks and coffee.Poland was already targeted last month when Moscow announced it would no longer import Polish apples, pears, cherries, nectarines, plums, and varieties of cabbage. The Russian government cited health and sanitary reasons.The latest ban also hits import products from the US, and possibly Canada, and Australia.The measures are seen as a tit-for-tat response to broad economic sanctions recently imposed on Russia by the European Union.The EU’s so-called stage three sanctions ban financial instruments by Russian-state-owned banks, enact a non-retroactive arms embargo, and impose export limitations on dual-use technologies.The European Commission says the EU stands to lose €40 billion this year alone from the stage three sanctions and that the amount is set to increase to €50 billion next year.The effect of the sanctions has already caused unease in some EU states, with Finland saying it will potentially seek compensation.“It is without doubt clear that, if sanctions hit Finland disproportionately, we will seek support from our European partners,” said Finland’s prime minister Alexander Stubb.Russia is Finland’s largest trading partner, according to the Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce. Total Finnish exports last year to Russia amounted to €5.4 billion. Around 7.5 percent was food and drink, reports Finnish state broadcaster YLE.As the EU’s third largest trading partner, Russia is one of the biggest importers of fruit and vegetables grown by member states. In 2013, it imported around €2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables.In terms of overall trade, last year the EU exported some €120 billion in goods and another €28 billion in services to Russia.Agricultural products accounted for around €12 billion of the EU exports, according to the European Commission.Meanwhile as the sanctions battle steps up, Nato has estimated that some 20,000 Russian combat-ready soldiers are now stationed near the border with Ukraine.Poland has said there is now a greater risk that Russia will make a direct intervention in Ukraine."We have reasons to suspect – we have been receiving such information in the last several hours – that the risk of a direct intervention is higher than it was several days ago,” said prime minister Donald Tusk.

Ebola sparks states of emergency across west Africa-AFP-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
Monrovia (AFP) - Overwhelmed west African nations called states of emergency on Thursday as the death toll from a fast-spreading Ebola epidemic neared 1,000, and an elderly Spanish missionary was evacuated for treatment at home.Soldiers in Liberia's Grand Cape Mount province -- one of the worst-affected -- were restricting movement towards the capital Monrovia, where lawmakers gathered to ratify a 90-day state of emergency.Nigeria's public sector doctors suspended a nearly five-week strike citing an outbreak of the deadly tropical disease which has killed two and infected five others in Lagos, creating fear that the virus is taking hold in Africa's most populous country.Since breaking out earlier this year, Ebola has claimed 932 lives and infected more than 1,700 people across west Africa, according to the World Health Organisation. Ebola causes severe fever and, in the worst cases, unstoppable bleeding. It is transmitted through close contact with bodily fluids, and people who live with or care for patients are most at risk.As African nations struggled with the sheer scale of the epidemic, Spain flew home a 75-year-old Roman Catholic priest, Miguel Pajares, who contracted the disease while helping patients at a hospital in Monrovia.The missionary was the first patient in the outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment.A specially equipped military Airbus A310 brought him to Madrid's Torrejon air base along with a Spanish nun, Juliana Bonoha Bohe, who had worked at the same Liberian hospital but did not test positive for the haemorrhagic fever, the Spanish government said.- Families separated -President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said Liberians should expect certain rights to be suspended as the country imposes "extraordinary measures" necessary for "the very survival of our state."For Hawa Kollie, 35, that meant being blocked by soldiers from returning home to Monrovia after visiting her parents in the western town of Sinje."They say I cannot cross and I left my kids at home," she told AFP by phone.The restrictions were part of a necessary military operation to ensure that people from "infected zones" did not carry the virus into "non-infected zones," Information Minister Lewis Brown said.In Sierra Leone, which has the most confirmed infections, 800 troops including 50 military nurses were sent to guard hospitals and clinics treating Ebola patients, an army spokesman said. The parliament was to meet to ratify a state of emergency declared last week.- Nigeria strike suspended -The outbreak in Nigeria has been minor compared to those in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.But the seven confirmed cases in Lagos, Nigeria's economic capital and the largest city in sub-Saharan Africa, spurred the National Medical Association to call off a strike launched on July 1 over pay and conditions.The densely-packed city of more than 20 million people has a poor healthcare system and officials say that if Lagos sees a rise in infections public hospitals will need to be operational in order to avert a catastrophe.- Spanish priest stable -Immediately after landing on Thursday morning, ambulances took Pajares and Bohe to Madrid's Carlos III Hospital.The priest was stable and showing no sign of bleeding while the nun appeared to be well, health officials said.Two Americans who worked for Christian aid agencies in Liberia and were infected with Ebola while taking care of patients in Monrovia were taken back to the United States for treatment in recent days.They have shown signs of improvement after being given an experimental drug known as ZMapp, which is hard to produce on a large scale.The vast majority of those infected face a far inferior level of healthcare at home.There is no proven treatment or cure for Ebola and the use of the experimental drug has sparked controversy as Ebola experts call for it to be made available to African victims.- 'Too soon' for new drug? -US President Barack Obama said it was too soon to send experimental drugs for the treatment of Ebola to west Africa, however, urging officials instead to focus on building a "strong public infrastructure"."I think we have to let the science guide us. And I don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful," Obama said on Wednesday.Nigeria's Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu has asked the United States about the possibility of getting the drug but Spain said it had not yet enquired about the serum."We do not know of the scientific evidence, the scientific basis, the results that this serum can provide," Antonio Alemany, director general of primary health care for the Madrid region, told a news conference."Obviously, if the serum is effective then the Spanish government will make contact to be able to use this treatment."The WHO is holding an emergency session behind closed doors in Geneva to decide whether to declare an international crisis. A decision is expected on Friday.First discovered in 1976 and named after a river in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ebola has killed around two-thirds of those infected, with two outbreaks registering fatality rates approaching 90 percent. The latest outbreak has a fatality rate of around 55 percent.

HRW slams Jordan for rebuffing Palestinian refugees from Syria-AFP-AUG 7,14-YAHOONEWS
Amman (AFP) - Advocacy group Human Rights Watch accused Jordan Thursday of refusing entry to, or forcibly deporting, Palestinian refugees escaping Syria in what it called a defiance of the country's international obligations.In a report released in Amman, the New York-based group said Jordan has officially banned their entry since January 2013 and has forcibly deported more than 100, including women and children, who managed to enter the country since mid-2012.The report said Jordan’s rebuff of Palestinians fleeing Syria contrasts with its treatment of Syrians, more than 600,000 of whom have taken shelter in Jordan since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011."Palestinian refugees face the same violence, killing and destruction that cause Syrian nationals themselves to want to flee to different countries," HRW Middle East researcher Adam Coogle told a news conference in Amman.The study, entitled "Not Welcome: Jordan's Treatment of Palestinians Escaping Syria," is based on interviews with more than 30 people affected by the non-admission policy, Coogle said.According to the report, most of Syria’s neighbouring countries have also placed entry restrictions on Palestinians from Syria, "leaving thousands stuck and facing great dangers."“No refugees fleeing the violence in Syria -– Syrians and Palestinians alike –- should be denied entry and forced back against their will,” HRW said, urging Jordan to rescind its ban.It also urged an end to deportations, saying Jordanian authorities often separated and deported Palestinian men from their families, "in some cases leaving the families without their primary source of income.""The deportations violate Jordan’s international obligation of non-refoulement, the prohibition in international law on returning refugees and asylum seekers to places where their lives or freedom would be threatened, or the return of anyone to the risk of torture," HRW said.
Tories seem to have trouble defining Justin Trudeau to voters-By Andy Radia | Canada Politics – aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
There's a political theory that goes something like this: Define your opponent before they have an opportunity to define themselves.It's a theory that, when executed well, can pay huge dividends.In 2011, the Tories did a masterful job in defining then-Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as someone who was "just visiting." They launched an ad campaign portraying Ignatieff as someone who came back to Canada just because he wanted to be prime minister.Incidentally, it looks as if Ignatieff was "just visiting." He's now back teaching at Harvard after leading the Liberals to third-party status for the first time in its storied history.In 2012, as explained politic365.com, the Barack Obama campaign defined Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as an "Out of Touch Scrooge McDuck."It worked: come election day 2012, the American public dismissed Romney as an aloof multi-millionaire who couldn't relate to the average Joe.We're also seeing Canada's Conservative Party deploy the 'define your opponent' strategy against the opposition leaders in the lead-up to the 2015 federal election.Their narrative for the NDP leader came easy. If you believe the Conservatives, Thomas Mulcair is "Angry Tom," with extreme views that would essentially freeze Canada's economy.Defining Justin Trudeau, however, has been a little more challenging for them.They started out – the day after Trudeau won the Liberal leadership in 2013 – with an ad campaign suggesting that Trudeau is "in over his head." They suggested that he lacked the substance, the knowledge and the know-how to be prime minister.While that may have entertained the Tory base, it didn't help stall Trudeau's momentum in the opinion polls.They've since moved on to the narrative about Trudeau and his policy about legalizing and regulating marijuana. The Tories have been circulating leaflets claiming that Trudeau has been "speaking to elementary school students about the benefits of marijuana."They even used the Trudeau/pot theme in the recent Scarborough-Agincourt byelection to absolutely no success. The Liberals handily won the riding by a much wider margin than the 2011 election.And now there appears to be a third narrative about Trudeau that seems to be emerging: That Trudeau is weak on crime and soft on terrorists.This narrative seems to be pushed by the right-leaning Sun News Network whose website's "top story" on Wednesday was titled: "Trudeau lambasted for visiting mosque linked to al-Qaeda recruitment.""Justin Trudeau is being accused of 'intellectual dishonesty' for his visiting a Montreal-area mosque that American government sources say has been an Al-Qaeda recruitment centre," notes the column."The Liberal leader reluctantly acknowledged last weekend he'd attended the Al-Sunnah Al-Nabawiah mosque, which follows the strict Wahhabist interpretation of Islam (codified and practiced in Saudi Arabia) then cast doubt on the veracity of the American government's designation."The article goes on to quote a PMO spokesperson who says this:"First, Justin Trudeau refused to condemn the horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon – instead he tried to rationalize the actions of evil individuals. It's clear that Justin Trudeau cannot be trusted to keep Canadians safe."Will this narrative work? Nothing else has.According to the latest Forum Research poll, the Liberals have opened up a 16-point lead on the Conservatives while Trudeau maintains just a slight advantage in the preferred prime minister question. Conservative supporters will tell you that it's still a long time before the election. They might argue that mid-term opinions polls mean very little.But if one of their election tactics is to define Justin Trudeau – as it seems to be – they certainly haven't done it yet.And, if they don't do it soon, they run the risk of Trudeau actually defining himself first.

Hawaii braces for Hurricane Iselle, with Julio right behind-Reuters-By Malia Mattoch McManus-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
HONOLULU (Reuters) - Hurricane Iselle barreled west across the Pacific Ocean toward the Hawaiian Islands on Wednesday, where officials warned residents and tourists of possible flooding and mudslides and ordered schools closed.The storm was about 700 miles (1,130 km) east of Hilo, on the Island of Hawaii, at 7 a.m. Hawaiian Standard Time on Wednesday and heading west-northwest at 15 miles per hour (24 km per hour) with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (137 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center.Iselle was expected to weaken into a tropical storm before reaching the islands sometime on Friday morning but forecasters said it could still bring high winds and 10-to-15-foot (three-to-4.5-meter) surf to the tourist haven."The Big Island has two peaks of up to 14,000 feet. If the hurricane makes a direct hit over the Big Island, how much of a blocking effect that has we don't know," said Ray Tanabe, acting director for the National Weather Service in the pacific region.Tracking about two days behind Iselle was hurricane Julio, which was upgraded from a tropical storm on Wednesday and could also bring heavy surf and high winds.Residents stocked up on basics as authorities in Honolulu advised them to prepare a seven-day disaster supply kit. Shoppers waited in lines at supermarkets with carts full of bottled water, batteries and nonperishable food."With Hawaii's remoteness, it could be as long as a week before a full disaster relief operation can be initiated," the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management said in a statement. Honolulu school teacher Gina Nakahodo said she had felt calm until she reached the empty water aisle of her local grocery store early on Tuesday."We've had so many storms that have passed us by, but with these two back to back you begin to worry. Then all of the sudden the aisles are empty and there's no water and it makes your heart pound a little," Nakahodo said.She said she talked to a couple visiting from California and told them everything was going to be OK. "But in the back of my mind I'm wondering, 'what's going to happen?'," she said.The Coast Guard warned people to prepare for the onset of heavy weather by Thursday, with the two hurricanes expected to generate extreme sea conditions, storm surge and surf of 10 to 15 feet throughout the island chain.The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch from early Thursday to early Saturday, with Hurricane Iselle expected to bring heavy rains to the islands.Public schools would be closed on Thursday on the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and the Big Island, the Hawaii State Department of Education said.Julio was expected to arrive at the Hawaiian Islands as early as Sunday, but officials said with Iselle on their doorstep, that storm was still their primary focus.(Additional reporting by Eric M.

U.S. weather forecaster lowers chance of El Nino in autumn-Reuters-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
(Reuters) - A U.S. weather forecaster scaled down its estimate for the chances of the El Nino weather phenomenon occurring during autumn and early winter in the Northern Hemisphere to 65 percent, from an earlier estimate of 80 percent.The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), an agency of the National Weather Service, had made its earlier prediction in July."The consensus of forecasters expects El Nino to emerge.during August-October and to peak at weak strength during the late fall and early winter," the agency said in a monthly update on Thursday.Last month, the CPC forecast a 70 percent chance for El Nino to occur in the summer."Over the last month, model forecasts have slightly delayed the El Nino onset," it said.The agency downplayed the possibility of a strong El Nino, saying there was a higher chance of a weak to moderate event.(Reporting by Marcy Nicholson; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe and Bernadette Baum)

Smoke won't have lasting health effects: NWT health official-CBC – AUG 7,14-YAHOONEWS
N.W.T.'s chief medical official says healthy people whose lungs get irritated by forest fire smoke will recover a few days after the smoke clears.Dr. Andre Corriveau, the territory's chief medical officer of health, says data from previous wildfires in California and Australia help determine what effects smoke can have on a person's health.He says "prolonged" exposure to smoke is measured in years, not in weeks. "It does have a health impact that can be quite serious for people who have predisposing conditions but for the average person they seem to recover fairly well, and whether it's one week or six weeks it's still considered relatively short exposure," he says.Corriveau cautions people with pre-existing health conditions like heart problems, asthma or other lung problems, to stay indoors and limit outdoor activity when the smoke is noticeably thick.Corriveau says this applies especially to the elderly, pregnant women, newborn babies and young children. Air pollution levels in Yellowknife have frequently gone off the chart in recent weeks as smoke from some the territory's nearly 300 forest fires blows into the city.Earlier this week, Yellowknife resident Dale Bouchard said she was getting out of town so her kids could breathe some clean air."I'm getting sick of it and I'm really, really disappointed and actually very confused as to why the territorial government hasn't done something for the people of Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories," she said."The kids have been smelling this heavy smoke all summer. They're coughing, got headaches. We have to keep them indoors all the time and it's just been awful, even for adults."Resident Jonathan Churcher said he has taken to wearing a face mask."What are we actually breathing? What toxins are in the air," he said.He said his mask isn't airtight, "but it does flex as I breathe in and out so I know a lot of the air is actually coming through the filter."
Masks have pros and cons
For workers who spend most of the day outside, Corriveau suggests taking more frequent breaks, longer breaks and going indoors to a place where they can recuperate.He says workers can also ask a supervisor for a specialized face mask."An N95 mask can make a difference although they're uncomfortable to wear, especially if you're exerting yourself," he said."People can take more frequent breaks, longer breaks and go indoors and go to a place where they can recuperate."Corriveau says only N95 or N99 masks will make a difference in filtering particulates. But he warns that, besides being uncomfortable, the mask will stop working as soon as it gets humid and on a hot day, and an N95 or N99 mask will only last half an hour before it has to be changed.

First water test results from breached tailings pond expected today-By The Canadian Press | -aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
LIKELY, B.C. - An early assessment of the environmental impact of a mine tailings pond failure in British Columbia is expected today when the first water-testing results may be released.Provincial Mines Minister Bill Bennett has so far said it's too soon to estimate the damage caused by the Mount Polley Mine breach, but says he hopes for positive news.The government has promised a thorough investigation into the actions of the provincial government and Imperial Metals in the wake of Monday's dam collapse.A tailings pond dam at the mine failed on Monday, sending 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of toxic silt into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake.The breach prompted a water-use ban along surrounding lakes and rivers and the B.C. environment ministry has collected water samples in the area.The company's president has said the water is already almost drinking quality, but a ministry official disagreed, based on metals found in the water at other times in recent years.Sharon Borkowski owns Northern Lights Lodge in the community closest to the disaster and she says while she's optimistic with the company's statements that the water is safe, she's still cautiously awaiting testing results.Imperial Metals was formally ordered Wednesday to clean up the site and prevent more material from escaping.
Ukraine government suspends ceasefire at MH17 crash site after recovery mission halted-Reuters-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV (Reuters) - The Ukrainian government said on Thursday it was suspending a ceasefire with separatist rebels at the crash site of the Malaysian airliner after an international recovery mission had been halted.The Netherlands, which lost 196 of its citizens in the 298 passengers and crew who died on flight MH17 which was shot down on July 17, said on Wednesday it was halting the recovery mission because of continued fighting in the region.Prime Minister Mark Rutte told journalists in The Hague the risk posed to the team of 70 Australian, Dutch and Malaysian experts was too great to continue working in the area.A Ukrainian defense spokesman said Ukrainian forces were not carrying out any military action within 20 km (12 miles) of the site.A government statement said later: "Experts were in agreement that the ceasefire regime in the area of the downing of the plane ... will not be in force until there is a second stage of the investigation."(Writing By Richard Balmforth; Editing by Alison Williams)
Russia imposes retaliatory sanctions on EU-Today @ 09:30-aug 7,14-euobserver-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Moscow is slapping a ban on EU-imported fruit and vegetables and food from the US in retaliation for western economic sanctions.A Russian decree published Wednesday (6 August) called upon government officials to put forward a list of agricultural products and raw materials to be banned for up to one year.The decree does not list the specific products or name the countries although the government is expected to announce the full list on Thursday.But Russia's food safety watchdog VPSS, Alexei Alexeenko, was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying fruit and vegetables from member states backing the EU sanctions would be blacklisted."Fruits and vegetables from the European Union will also be under full ban," he said.According to RIA Novosti, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Slovakia, and Spain could be on the Russian list.Among the products cited by country are meats, poultry, fish, drinks and coffee.Poland was already targeted last month when Moscow announced it would no longer import Polish apples, pears, cherries, nectarines, plums, and varieties of cabbage. The Russian government cited health and sanitary reasons.The latest ban also hits import products from the US, and possibly Canada, and Australia.The measures are seen as a tit-for-tat response to broad economic sanctions recently imposed on Russia by the European Union.The EU’s so-called stage three sanctions ban financial instruments by Russian-state-owned banks, enact a non-retroactive arms embargo, and impose export limitations on dual-use technologies.The European Commission says the EU stands to lose €40 billion this year alone from the stage three sanctions and that the amount is set to increase to €50 billion next year.The effect of the sanctions has already caused unease in some EU states, with Finland saying it will potentially seek compensation.“It is without doubt clear that, if sanctions hit Finland disproportionately, we will seek support from our European partners,” said Finland’s prime minister Alexander Stubb.Russia is Finland’s largest trading partner, according to the Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce. Total Finnish exports last year to Russia amounted to €5.4 billion. Around 7.5 percent was food and drink, reports Finnish state broadcaster YLE.As the EU’s third largest trading partner, Russia is one of the biggest importers of fruit and vegetables grown by member states. In 2013, it imported around €2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables.In terms of overall trade, last year the EU exported some €120 billion in goods and another €28 billion in services to Russia.Agricultural products accounted for around €12 billion of the EU exports, according to the European Commission.Meanwhile as the sanctions battle steps up, Nato has estimated that some 20,000 Russian combat-ready soldiers are now stationed near the border with Ukraine.Poland has said there is now a greater risk that Russia will make a direct intervention in Ukraine."We have reasons to suspect – we have been receiving such information in the last several hours – that the risk of a direct intervention is higher than it was several days ago,” said prime minister Donald Tusk.

Ebola sparks states of emergency across west Africa-AFP-aug 7,14-YAHOONEWS
Monrovia (AFP) - Overwhelmed west African nations called states of emergency on Thursday as the death toll from a fast-spreading Ebola epidemic neared 1,000, and an elderly Spanish missionary was evacuated for treatment at home.Soldiers in Liberia's Grand Cape Mount province -- one of the worst-affected -- were restricting movement towards the capital Monrovia, where lawmakers gathered to ratify a 90-day state of emergency.Nigeria's public sector doctors suspended a nearly five-week strike citing an outbreak of the deadly tropical disease which has killed two and infected five others in Lagos, creating fear that the virus is taking hold in Africa's most populous country.Since breaking out earlier this year, Ebola has claimed 932 lives and infected more than 1,700 people across west Africa, according to the World Health Organisation. Ebola causes severe fever and, in the worst cases, unstoppable bleeding. It is transmitted through close contact with bodily fluids, and people who live with or care for patients are most at risk.As African nations struggled with the sheer scale of the epidemic, Spain flew home a 75-year-old Roman Catholic priest, Miguel Pajares, who contracted the disease while helping patients at a hospital in Monrovia.The missionary was the first patient in the outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment.A specially equipped military Airbus A310 brought him to Madrid's Torrejon air base along with a Spanish nun, Juliana Bonoha Bohe, who had worked at the same Liberian hospital but did not test positive for the haemorrhagic fever, the Spanish government said.- Families separated -President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said Liberians should expect certain rights to be suspended as the country imposes "extraordinary measures" necessary for "the very survival of our state."For Hawa Kollie, 35, that meant being blocked by soldiers from returning home to Monrovia after visiting her parents in the western town of Sinje."They say I cannot cross and I left my kids at home," she told AFP by phone.The restrictions were part of a necessary military operation to ensure that people from "infected zones" did not carry the virus into "non-infected zones," Information Minister Lewis Brown said.In Sierra Leone, which has the most confirmed infections, 800 troops including 50 military nurses were sent to guard hospitals and clinics treating Ebola patients, an army spokesman said. The parliament was to meet to ratify a state of emergency declared last week.- Nigeria strike suspended -The outbreak in Nigeria has been minor compared to those in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.But the seven confirmed cases in Lagos, Nigeria's economic capital and the largest city in sub-Saharan Africa, spurred the National Medical Association to call off a strike launched on July 1 over pay and conditions.The densely-packed city of more than 20 million people has a poor healthcare system and officials say that if Lagos sees a rise in infections public hospitals will need to be operational in order to avert a catastrophe.- Spanish priest stable -Immediately after landing on Thursday morning, ambulances took Pajares and Bohe to Madrid's Carlos III Hospital.The priest was stable and showing no sign of bleeding while the nun appeared to be well, health officials said.Two Americans who worked for Christian aid agencies in Liberia and were infected with Ebola while taking care of patients in Monrovia were taken back to the United States for treatment in recent days.They have shown signs of improvement after being given an experimental drug known as ZMapp, which is hard to produce on a large scale.The vast majority of those infected face a far inferior level of healthcare at home.There is no proven treatment or cure for Ebola and the use of the experimental drug has sparked controversy as Ebola experts call for it to be made available to African victims.- 'Too soon' for new drug? -US President Barack Obama said it was too soon to send experimental drugs for the treatment of Ebola to west Africa, however, urging officials instead to focus on building a "strong public infrastructure"."I think we have to let the science guide us. And I don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful," Obama said on Wednesday.Nigeria's Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu has asked the United States about the possibility of getting the drug but Spain said it had not yet enquired about the serum."We do not know of the scientific evidence, the scientific basis, the results that this serum can provide," Antonio Alemany, director general of primary health care for the Madrid region, told a news conference."Obviously, if the serum is effective then the Spanish government will make contact to be able to use this treatment."The WHO is holding an emergency session behind closed doors in Geneva to decide whether to declare an international crisis. A decision is expected on Friday.First discovered in 1976 and named after a river in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ebola has killed around two-thirds of those infected, with two outbreaks registering fatality rates approaching 90 percent. The latest outbreak has a fatality rate of around 55 percent.
