AFM media boycott is poor PR, could backfire
Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014 | BRANDONSUN
In a surprise move yesterday, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs called for a national boycott of Sun News Media and its subsidiaries, calling the “pro-Conservative anti-First Nation slant” of the organization little more than political propaganda.“Sun News Media has demonstrated no integrity when it comes to reporting on the hardships and issues of our people across the country,” Grand Chief Derek Nepinak said in a press release. “This is despite the fact that we have given them ample opportunity to learn the other side of the story on matters before presenting issues to the public.”
Police Chief Bill Blair rejects Doug Ford's apology-CBC – AUG 13,14-YAHOONEWS
Doug Ford has apologized for accusing Toronto police Chief Bill Blair of leaking information to the media as a form of revenge against Mayor Rob Ford, but the chief has rejected the apology.Mark Pugash, a spokesman for the chief, said Blair has not received the text of Ford's apology for approval, so the terms in the notice of defamation have not been met."If he feels I impugned his reputation, I apologize," said Ford on Wednesday afternoon at city hall. "It will be up to the chief if he wants to move forward with this."Blair served the Etobicoke councillor with a defamation notice on Tuesday.This morning the councillor called the chief to offer an apology, but the conditions of the notice of defamation state the apology must be approved by lawyers beforehand.Pugash said the chief has yet to receive any text from the councillor. The dispute between the two surrounds comments Ford made when it was revealed his brother would be served a subpoena to appear in court in the case of his friend, Alexander (Sandro) Lisi. The mayor has yet to be issued that subpoena.The mayor's brother called that politically motivated "payback" and said the police went to the media before telling the mayor about the subpoena."You wonder why we need a change at the top? This is why we need a change at the top," said Doug Ford at the time, referring to Blair, whose contract as chief is not being renewed.The chief previously said that Ford was lying before serving the councillor with the notice.Ford said he "100 per cent" retracts his comments."It's time to bury the hatchet. Let's hang up the gloves," he said.
Violence erupts again after killing of black Missouri teen-By Nick Carey | Reuters – aug 13,14-yahoonews
FERGUSON Mo. (Reuters) - Violence again erupted in the St. Louis area near the site of the police shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, according to local police, despite calls by U.S. President Barack Obama and activists for a measured response.Early on Wednesday, a police officer shot and critically wounded a man who drew a handgun near the site of protests over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a St. Louis County Police Department officer said.Police responded about an hour after midnight to reports of four or five men with shotguns and wearing ski masks. They encountered multiple suspects running, one of whom pulled a gun on an officer, who fired at him, the county officer said. The man was taken to an area hospital.Shortly after midnight, police fired tear gas into protesters who had confronted a line of officers after a far larger crowd dispersed, St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman said.A photograph in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch showed a protester wearing a shirt with an American flag printed on it throwing a tear gas container back at the police. There were other media reports of bottles thrown at police.The incidents followed two nights of violent protests, looting and arrests in Ferguson, the largely black St. Louis suburb where the shooting of Brown took place.Obama promised a full investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into the teenager's death."I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but ... I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding," Obama said in a statement.Friends and family of Brown held a peaceful church vigil on Tuesday night, after his father pleaded for an end to the violence. Standing with supporters, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, Michael Brown Sr. said he wanted justice for his son but wanted it "the right way.""I need all of us to come together and do this right, the right way," said Brown Sr., who wore a T-shirt showing his son's baby picture. "No violence."Several hundred protesters appeared to heed the calls for non-violence late on Tuesday evening, chanting "hands up, don't shoot" and "no justice, no peace" during a tense but ultimately peaceful stand-off with police clad in riot gear and flanked by armored vehicles near the site of Brown's death.The protesters, some of whom waved signs as the group was led in chants by megaphone, had dwindled to a handful before midnight.Also on Wednesday, a woman was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting blocks from the area where Brown was killed. Her condition and whether the shooting was related to the protests were unknown, Schellman said.In a separate incident simmering in California, a vigil was planned after Monday's shooting death of an unarmed 24-year-old black man in Los Angeles, USA Today cited a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman as saying.
CONTROVERSIAL SHOOTING
Sharpton, a New York-based civil rights leader, called for peaceful protest in the wake of looting and more than 50 arrests since the shooting."To become violent in Michael Brown's name is to betray the gentle giant that he was," Sharpton said of the 6-foot, 4-inch Brown, who had planned to start college this week.Missouri Governor Jay Nixon told a packed church in North St. Louis County on Tuesday evening the community was "reeling from what feels like an old wound that has been torn open afresh."The activists also were demanding authorities make public the name of the officer involved. The police had said they would do so on Tuesday, but changed the plan, citing fears of retaliation, according to media reports.Police said Brown was shot in a struggle with a gun in a police car but have not said why he was in the car. At least one shot was fired during the struggle, and then the officer fired more shots before leaving the car, police said.A witness to the shooting interviewed on local media has said that Brown had been putting his hands up to surrender when he was killed.The FBI has opened a civil rights investigation into the racially charged case and St. Louis County also is investigating.Demonstrations on Sunday night turned violent, with looting and property damage. Violence broke out again on Monday night as police officers in riot gear, armed with rifles and accompanied by dogs tried to secure the area.Residents in the low-income, mostly black neighborhood where Brown was killed say they are often harassed by police. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said the neighborhood had a lot of crime but there were no race problems.Ferguson has seen a stark demographic shift in recent decades, going from all white to mostly black. About two-thirds of the town's 21,000-strong population are black. On a police force of 53, three officers are black.(Additional reporting by Mary Wisniewski in Chicago and Carey Gillam in Ferguson, Missouri; Writing by Eric M.

Putin delays payment for French Mistral warships-Today @ 09:30-AUG 13,13-By EUOBSERVER
Moscow will not pay for two French-built Mistral-class warships until the second vessel has been delivered to the Russian navy, Anatoly Isaikin, head of Russia's state arms trade agency, told ITAR-Tass. French president Hollande said in July that delivery of the second ship would “depend on Moscow’s attitude” to Ukraine.
EU countries give France green light to arm Iraqi Kurds-Today @ 09:27-AUG 13,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU countries have moved a step closer to sending arms to Iraqi Kurds to help them fight the Islamic State (IS).Ambassadors at a meeting of the bloc’s Political and Security Committee in Brussels on Tuesday (12 August) agreed that individual member states are free to send weapons, but stopped short of launching an EU-level effort to support the Kurdish militia, the Peshmerga.The envoys’ joint statement “noted the urgent request by the Kurdish regional authorities to certain member states for military support and underlined the need to consider this request in close co-ordination with the Iraqi authorities”.In contrast to the EU divisions which marked the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, they “welcomed the efforts by the US ... to stop the IS advance”.The US began air strikes against the Islamist fighters last week, with the State Department on Tuesday saying US ground forces might be used to break an IS siege on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq, where tens of thousands of refugees from the Yazidi minority are facing extermination.The EU the same day also activated its Emergency Response Co-ordination Centre - a mechanism for pooling humanitarian aid from the 28 member states.Meanwhile, the European Commission earmarked another €5 million for humanitarian assistance for the more than 200,000 Iraqi people driven from their homes by fighting in recent weeks.France has led the call for EU arms to Iraqi Kurds after its foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, visited the Kurdish capital, Erbil, on Sunday.He told French radio on Tuesday that: “There is an evident imbalance between this horrible group [IS] which has sophisticated weapons and the Kurdish peshmergas, who are courageous but don’t have these weapons”.The German foreign ministry earlier said it is considering shipments of armoured vehicles, mine-detection equipment, helmets, body armour and medical supplies. Reuters reported that the Czech Republic, Italy, and the Netherlands back the French proposal to send arms.An EU diplomat told EUobserver on Wednesday that EU foreign ministers might also hold an emergency meeting on Iraq in the coming days to increase the level of European intervention.But EU differences of opinion, including inside Germany, are causing hesitation.For his part, Norbert Roettgen, a politician from chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party who chairs the foreign affairs committee in the German parliament, told German media on Tuesday that Berlin should refrain from sending lethal assistance “in such a confusing situation in which we have no real control over the whereabouts of the weapons supplied”.The IS is the world’s newest self-proclaimed country.The Sunni Muslim entity began as an armed resistance movement against the Syrian regime. It has attracted Islamist fighters from across the Middle East, north Africa, and Europe and controls large stretches of territory in Syria and Iraq.
Ukraine accuses Russia of cynicism over convoy; death toll rises sharply-By Natalia Zinets and Dmitry Madorsky | Reuters – AUG 13,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV/VORONEZH Russia (Reuters) - Ukraine described Russia's dispatch of an aid convoy advancing now towards its border as a cynical act designed to fan a pro-Russian rebellion the UN said on Wednesday had claimed nearly 1,000 lives, fighters and civilians, in two weeks.Kiev declared that the convoy would not be allowed to pass; but a presidential spokesman later suggested a compromise might be found, bringing it under the control of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)."First they send tanks, Grad missiles and bandits who fire on Ukrainians and then they send water and salt," Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said of a conflict that has killed over 2,000 since mid-April."The level of Russian cynicism knows no bounds."The comments reflected suspicions in Kiev and Western capitals that passage of the convoy onto Ukrainian soil could turn into a covert military action to help separatists in the Russian-speaking east now losing ground to government forces.Russia, which sees Russian-speakers in the east under threat from a government it considers chauvinistic, said any suggestion of a link between the convoy and an invasion plan was absurd.The convoy of heavy trucks rumbled out of Moscow region on Tuesday and traveled some 500 km (300 miles) to the southwestern Russian town of Voronezh. There it stopped at an air base behind high fences, according to a Reuters reporter.Several people who entered the airbase and spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said dozens of trucks were still parked at the airbase. It was not clear whether the Voronezh convoy was the only one traveling towards Ukraine."The journey isn't short, of course," one truck driver interviewed on Russian Rossiya-24 television commented."How can I put it? It's pretty difficult. But how could we not help our Slavic brothers? We are all for it."An ICRC spokeswoman in Geneva said Russia had given a "general list" of goods on its convoy to Ukrainian authorities and the ICRC, but the aid agency needed a detailed inventory."A number of important issues still need to be clarified between the two sides, including border crossing procedures, customs clearance and other issues," Anastasia Isyuk said.The list of contents on the 260-truck convoy provided by Moscow included food, water bottles and generators, she said.
DILEMMA
The last few weeks has seen significant government successes against rebels who have abandoned a string of towns under heavy fire. Kiev says rebel leaders, some of whom are Russians and who seek union with Russia, are receiving arms from Moscow, something the Kremlin denies.U.N. human rights spokeswoman Cecile Pouilly said the estimated death toll had risen to 2,086 as of Aug. 10 from 1,129 on July 26. The figures included Ukrainian soldiers, rebel groups and civilians, but were "very conservative estimates"."This corresponds to a clear escalating trend," she told Reuters in response to an inquiry.It was not clear to what extent the figures reflected escalation of the fighting, which erupted four months ago after a pro-Russian president was driven from office by protests, or delays in gathering data from government and local agencies.State-controlled Russian television presented a picture of fierce battles around the rebel stronghold of Donetsk, accusing the Ukrainian military of indiscriminate shelling or rocketing of civilian buildings. Residents interviewed said they were being bombed everyday and hiding in cellars.The approach of the convoy presents Kiev with a dilemma.Ukraine says it fears it could become the focus of tension and conflict once on its soil and provide pretext for a Russian armed incursion. At the same time, Kiev does not want to seem to be blocking aid and providing a moral basis for Kremlin action.
BORDER CROSSING
A presidential spokesman said that the Ukrainians, at a meeting late on Tuesday night, had agreed to accept the aid for Luhansk region in a bid to prevent "a full-scale invasion" by Russia.One option he said was for the aid to come into Ukraine at a point further along the border closer to Luhansk itself after checks by Ukrainian border guards, customs and officials of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).The aid could then be distributed under the supervision of the Red Cross, said the spokesman, Svyatoslav Tseholko.Kiev accuses Russia of supporting and arming the rebels - who now appear to be on the verge of defeat by government forces - with tanks, missiles and other weapons. Moscow denies this.Four months of fighting in the east has produced a humanitarian crisis in parts of eastern Ukraine. People in the main cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, on the border with Russia, are suffering acute shortages of water, food and electricity.Yatseniuk said the Kiev government had received 6 million dollars from its Western partners which would be used to alleviate conditions in distressed areas.(Additional reporting by Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Jason Bush in Moscow, and Pavel Polityuk and Alessandra Prentice in Kiev; Writing By Richard Balmforth and Dmitry Zhdannikov; editing by Ralph Boulton)
NATO nears agreement on beefing up presence in eastern Europe: Poland-By Marcin Goettig and Christian Lowe | Reuters – AUG13,14-YAHOONEWS
WARSAW (Reuters) - NATO member states are close to reaching consensus over steps to beef up the alliance's military presence in eastern Europe in response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Wednesday in an interview.Sikorski told Reuters he believed the Kremlin could still invade eastern Ukraine, though he said the possibility of Russian troops entering under cover of a humanitarian aid convoy now heading towards the Ukrainian border had receded somewhat in the past few days.Poland, the biggest of the former Communist states to join NATO after the end of the Cold War, has been a leading voice in calling for sanctions on Russia and for NATO to shift troops and equipment eastwards to reassure members on Russia's flanks.NATO's leadership has proposed pre-positioning supplies and equipment at bases in the east in readiness for sending troops if needed, and said one option was to enhance an existing NATO regional headquarters in north-western Poland."Until this year we did not have war between two of our neighbors, and now we do. So our perception of the need for reassurance is even higher," Sikorski said in the interview."We've welcomed the proposals by the military authorities of the alliance who have formulated what they think a reasonable reassurance package is, and we believe that's a good proposal."He said he did not want to go into details about what the likely options were, because diplomats and military officials needed more time to prepare a consensus view that can be approved at a Sept. 4 NATO summit in Wales.Asked how close alliance members were to reaching that consensus, Sikorski said: "I think we're quite close," and that it should be achieved in time for the summit.The proposals under consideration by NATO fall well short of what Sikorski himself had earlier proposed, for the alliance to permanently station two brigades in eastern member states.Some NATO members have resisted increasing the alliance's military presence in the east.
FROZEN CONFLICT
Sikorski, who is Poland's nominee for the soon-to-be-vacant post of the European Union's chief diplomat, said it was a positive sign that Moscow has been negotiating with Kiev and the Red Cross over sending aid into eastern Ukraine.Several EU leaders have warned the planned Russian aid convoy on its way to the border with Ukraine could have been used as a cover for a military attack. Russia denies any such intention.The fact that Russia is talking with others about the convoy means "there is hope the whole initiative will be put within some kind of agreed procedures," said Sikorski, who was educated at Britain's Oxford University.However he cautioned that "a negative scenario" with the convoy could still be played out.He had previously said Russia had stationed large numbers of troops on its border with Ukraine because it either wanted to pressure the Western-backed government in Kiev, or because it wanted to attack.Asked if this was still his view, Sikorski replied: "Yes," though he said only Russian President Vladimir Putin knew what Moscow's next move would be.He said he believed Putin's latest strategy was to foment in eastern Ukraine a "frozen conflict" similar to the one in Moldova's Transdniestria region, which has for decades now been controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.The aim is "to distract Ukraine from implementing the association agreement (with the EU) and thereby making it more difficult for Ukraine to become a successful free market democracy," Sikorski said.Polish farmers have warned of heavy losses after Russia, a major importer of Polish agricultural produce, responded to new EU sanctions by imposing an embargo on imports of many food items from Europe."We knew all along that, having a much higher proportion of trade, exports to Russia than other countries, double the rate of Germany for example, we would pay a higher price, which is why we were not gung-ho about sanctions," Sikorski said.Asked if, despite the cost, Poland would stand firmly by the sanctions on Russia, he said: "Sure, of course."(Writing by Christian Lowe; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)

AFM media boycott is poor PR, could backfire
Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014 | BRANDONSUN
In a surprise move yesterday, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs called for a national boycott of Sun News Media and its subsidiaries, calling the “pro-Conservative anti-First Nation slant” of the organization little more than political propaganda.“Sun News Media has demonstrated no integrity when it comes to reporting on the hardships and issues of our people across the country,” Grand Chief Derek Nepinak said in a press release. “This is despite the fact that we have given them ample opportunity to learn the other side of the story on matters before presenting issues to the public.”
Police Chief Bill Blair rejects Doug Ford's apology-CBC – AUG 13,14-YAHOONEWS
Doug Ford has apologized for accusing Toronto police Chief Bill Blair of leaking information to the media as a form of revenge against Mayor Rob Ford, but the chief has rejected the apology.Mark Pugash, a spokesman for the chief, said Blair has not received the text of Ford's apology for approval, so the terms in the notice of defamation have not been met."If he feels I impugned his reputation, I apologize," said Ford on Wednesday afternoon at city hall. "It will be up to the chief if he wants to move forward with this."Blair served the Etobicoke councillor with a defamation notice on Tuesday.This morning the councillor called the chief to offer an apology, but the conditions of the notice of defamation state the apology must be approved by lawyers beforehand.Pugash said the chief has yet to receive any text from the councillor. The dispute between the two surrounds comments Ford made when it was revealed his brother would be served a subpoena to appear in court in the case of his friend, Alexander (Sandro) Lisi. The mayor has yet to be issued that subpoena.The mayor's brother called that politically motivated "payback" and said the police went to the media before telling the mayor about the subpoena."You wonder why we need a change at the top? This is why we need a change at the top," said Doug Ford at the time, referring to Blair, whose contract as chief is not being renewed.The chief previously said that Ford was lying before serving the councillor with the notice.Ford said he "100 per cent" retracts his comments."It's time to bury the hatchet. Let's hang up the gloves," he said.
Violence erupts again after killing of black Missouri teen-By Nick Carey | Reuters – aug 13,14-yahoonews
FERGUSON Mo. (Reuters) - Violence again erupted in the St. Louis area near the site of the police shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, according to local police, despite calls by U.S. President Barack Obama and activists for a measured response.Early on Wednesday, a police officer shot and critically wounded a man who drew a handgun near the site of protests over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a St. Louis County Police Department officer said.Police responded about an hour after midnight to reports of four or five men with shotguns and wearing ski masks. They encountered multiple suspects running, one of whom pulled a gun on an officer, who fired at him, the county officer said. The man was taken to an area hospital.Shortly after midnight, police fired tear gas into protesters who had confronted a line of officers after a far larger crowd dispersed, St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman said.A photograph in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch showed a protester wearing a shirt with an American flag printed on it throwing a tear gas container back at the police. There were other media reports of bottles thrown at police.The incidents followed two nights of violent protests, looting and arrests in Ferguson, the largely black St. Louis suburb where the shooting of Brown took place.Obama promised a full investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into the teenager's death."I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but ... I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding," Obama said in a statement.Friends and family of Brown held a peaceful church vigil on Tuesday night, after his father pleaded for an end to the violence. Standing with supporters, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, Michael Brown Sr. said he wanted justice for his son but wanted it "the right way.""I need all of us to come together and do this right, the right way," said Brown Sr., who wore a T-shirt showing his son's baby picture. "No violence."Several hundred protesters appeared to heed the calls for non-violence late on Tuesday evening, chanting "hands up, don't shoot" and "no justice, no peace" during a tense but ultimately peaceful stand-off with police clad in riot gear and flanked by armored vehicles near the site of Brown's death.The protesters, some of whom waved signs as the group was led in chants by megaphone, had dwindled to a handful before midnight.Also on Wednesday, a woman was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting blocks from the area where Brown was killed. Her condition and whether the shooting was related to the protests were unknown, Schellman said.In a separate incident simmering in California, a vigil was planned after Monday's shooting death of an unarmed 24-year-old black man in Los Angeles, USA Today cited a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman as saying.
CONTROVERSIAL SHOOTING
Sharpton, a New York-based civil rights leader, called for peaceful protest in the wake of looting and more than 50 arrests since the shooting."To become violent in Michael Brown's name is to betray the gentle giant that he was," Sharpton said of the 6-foot, 4-inch Brown, who had planned to start college this week.Missouri Governor Jay Nixon told a packed church in North St. Louis County on Tuesday evening the community was "reeling from what feels like an old wound that has been torn open afresh."The activists also were demanding authorities make public the name of the officer involved. The police had said they would do so on Tuesday, but changed the plan, citing fears of retaliation, according to media reports.Police said Brown was shot in a struggle with a gun in a police car but have not said why he was in the car. At least one shot was fired during the struggle, and then the officer fired more shots before leaving the car, police said.A witness to the shooting interviewed on local media has said that Brown had been putting his hands up to surrender when he was killed.The FBI has opened a civil rights investigation into the racially charged case and St. Louis County also is investigating.Demonstrations on Sunday night turned violent, with looting and property damage. Violence broke out again on Monday night as police officers in riot gear, armed with rifles and accompanied by dogs tried to secure the area.Residents in the low-income, mostly black neighborhood where Brown was killed say they are often harassed by police. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said the neighborhood had a lot of crime but there were no race problems.Ferguson has seen a stark demographic shift in recent decades, going from all white to mostly black. About two-thirds of the town's 21,000-strong population are black. On a police force of 53, three officers are black.(Additional reporting by Mary Wisniewski in Chicago and Carey Gillam in Ferguson, Missouri; Writing by Eric M.

Putin delays payment for French Mistral warships-Today @ 09:30-AUG 13,13-By EUOBSERVER
Moscow will not pay for two French-built Mistral-class warships until the second vessel has been delivered to the Russian navy, Anatoly Isaikin, head of Russia's state arms trade agency, told ITAR-Tass. French president Hollande said in July that delivery of the second ship would “depend on Moscow’s attitude” to Ukraine.
EU countries give France green light to arm Iraqi Kurds-Today @ 09:27-AUG 13,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU countries have moved a step closer to sending arms to Iraqi Kurds to help them fight the Islamic State (IS).Ambassadors at a meeting of the bloc’s Political and Security Committee in Brussels on Tuesday (12 August) agreed that individual member states are free to send weapons, but stopped short of launching an EU-level effort to support the Kurdish militia, the Peshmerga.The envoys’ joint statement “noted the urgent request by the Kurdish regional authorities to certain member states for military support and underlined the need to consider this request in close co-ordination with the Iraqi authorities”.In contrast to the EU divisions which marked the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, they “welcomed the efforts by the US ... to stop the IS advance”.The US began air strikes against the Islamist fighters last week, with the State Department on Tuesday saying US ground forces might be used to break an IS siege on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq, where tens of thousands of refugees from the Yazidi minority are facing extermination.The EU the same day also activated its Emergency Response Co-ordination Centre - a mechanism for pooling humanitarian aid from the 28 member states.Meanwhile, the European Commission earmarked another €5 million for humanitarian assistance for the more than 200,000 Iraqi people driven from their homes by fighting in recent weeks.France has led the call for EU arms to Iraqi Kurds after its foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, visited the Kurdish capital, Erbil, on Sunday.He told French radio on Tuesday that: “There is an evident imbalance between this horrible group [IS] which has sophisticated weapons and the Kurdish peshmergas, who are courageous but don’t have these weapons”.The German foreign ministry earlier said it is considering shipments of armoured vehicles, mine-detection equipment, helmets, body armour and medical supplies. Reuters reported that the Czech Republic, Italy, and the Netherlands back the French proposal to send arms.An EU diplomat told EUobserver on Wednesday that EU foreign ministers might also hold an emergency meeting on Iraq in the coming days to increase the level of European intervention.But EU differences of opinion, including inside Germany, are causing hesitation.For his part, Norbert Roettgen, a politician from chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party who chairs the foreign affairs committee in the German parliament, told German media on Tuesday that Berlin should refrain from sending lethal assistance “in such a confusing situation in which we have no real control over the whereabouts of the weapons supplied”.The IS is the world’s newest self-proclaimed country.The Sunni Muslim entity began as an armed resistance movement against the Syrian regime. It has attracted Islamist fighters from across the Middle East, north Africa, and Europe and controls large stretches of territory in Syria and Iraq.
Ukraine accuses Russia of cynicism over convoy; death toll rises sharply-By Natalia Zinets and Dmitry Madorsky | Reuters – AUG 13,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV/VORONEZH Russia (Reuters) - Ukraine described Russia's dispatch of an aid convoy advancing now towards its border as a cynical act designed to fan a pro-Russian rebellion the UN said on Wednesday had claimed nearly 1,000 lives, fighters and civilians, in two weeks.Kiev declared that the convoy would not be allowed to pass; but a presidential spokesman later suggested a compromise might be found, bringing it under the control of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)."First they send tanks, Grad missiles and bandits who fire on Ukrainians and then they send water and salt," Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said of a conflict that has killed over 2,000 since mid-April."The level of Russian cynicism knows no bounds."The comments reflected suspicions in Kiev and Western capitals that passage of the convoy onto Ukrainian soil could turn into a covert military action to help separatists in the Russian-speaking east now losing ground to government forces.Russia, which sees Russian-speakers in the east under threat from a government it considers chauvinistic, said any suggestion of a link between the convoy and an invasion plan was absurd.The convoy of heavy trucks rumbled out of Moscow region on Tuesday and traveled some 500 km (300 miles) to the southwestern Russian town of Voronezh. There it stopped at an air base behind high fences, according to a Reuters reporter.Several people who entered the airbase and spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said dozens of trucks were still parked at the airbase. It was not clear whether the Voronezh convoy was the only one traveling towards Ukraine."The journey isn't short, of course," one truck driver interviewed on Russian Rossiya-24 television commented."How can I put it? It's pretty difficult. But how could we not help our Slavic brothers? We are all for it."An ICRC spokeswoman in Geneva said Russia had given a "general list" of goods on its convoy to Ukrainian authorities and the ICRC, but the aid agency needed a detailed inventory."A number of important issues still need to be clarified between the two sides, including border crossing procedures, customs clearance and other issues," Anastasia Isyuk said.The list of contents on the 260-truck convoy provided by Moscow included food, water bottles and generators, she said.
DILEMMA
The last few weeks has seen significant government successes against rebels who have abandoned a string of towns under heavy fire. Kiev says rebel leaders, some of whom are Russians and who seek union with Russia, are receiving arms from Moscow, something the Kremlin denies.U.N. human rights spokeswoman Cecile Pouilly said the estimated death toll had risen to 2,086 as of Aug. 10 from 1,129 on July 26. The figures included Ukrainian soldiers, rebel groups and civilians, but were "very conservative estimates"."This corresponds to a clear escalating trend," she told Reuters in response to an inquiry.It was not clear to what extent the figures reflected escalation of the fighting, which erupted four months ago after a pro-Russian president was driven from office by protests, or delays in gathering data from government and local agencies.State-controlled Russian television presented a picture of fierce battles around the rebel stronghold of Donetsk, accusing the Ukrainian military of indiscriminate shelling or rocketing of civilian buildings. Residents interviewed said they were being bombed everyday and hiding in cellars.The approach of the convoy presents Kiev with a dilemma.Ukraine says it fears it could become the focus of tension and conflict once on its soil and provide pretext for a Russian armed incursion. At the same time, Kiev does not want to seem to be blocking aid and providing a moral basis for Kremlin action.
BORDER CROSSING
A presidential spokesman said that the Ukrainians, at a meeting late on Tuesday night, had agreed to accept the aid for Luhansk region in a bid to prevent "a full-scale invasion" by Russia.One option he said was for the aid to come into Ukraine at a point further along the border closer to Luhansk itself after checks by Ukrainian border guards, customs and officials of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).The aid could then be distributed under the supervision of the Red Cross, said the spokesman, Svyatoslav Tseholko.Kiev accuses Russia of supporting and arming the rebels - who now appear to be on the verge of defeat by government forces - with tanks, missiles and other weapons. Moscow denies this.Four months of fighting in the east has produced a humanitarian crisis in parts of eastern Ukraine. People in the main cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, on the border with Russia, are suffering acute shortages of water, food and electricity.Yatseniuk said the Kiev government had received 6 million dollars from its Western partners which would be used to alleviate conditions in distressed areas.(Additional reporting by Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Jason Bush in Moscow, and Pavel Polityuk and Alessandra Prentice in Kiev; Writing By Richard Balmforth and Dmitry Zhdannikov; editing by Ralph Boulton)
NATO nears agreement on beefing up presence in eastern Europe: Poland-By Marcin Goettig and Christian Lowe | Reuters – AUG13,14-YAHOONEWS
WARSAW (Reuters) - NATO member states are close to reaching consensus over steps to beef up the alliance's military presence in eastern Europe in response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Wednesday in an interview.Sikorski told Reuters he believed the Kremlin could still invade eastern Ukraine, though he said the possibility of Russian troops entering under cover of a humanitarian aid convoy now heading towards the Ukrainian border had receded somewhat in the past few days.Poland, the biggest of the former Communist states to join NATO after the end of the Cold War, has been a leading voice in calling for sanctions on Russia and for NATO to shift troops and equipment eastwards to reassure members on Russia's flanks.NATO's leadership has proposed pre-positioning supplies and equipment at bases in the east in readiness for sending troops if needed, and said one option was to enhance an existing NATO regional headquarters in north-western Poland."Until this year we did not have war between two of our neighbors, and now we do. So our perception of the need for reassurance is even higher," Sikorski said in the interview."We've welcomed the proposals by the military authorities of the alliance who have formulated what they think a reasonable reassurance package is, and we believe that's a good proposal."He said he did not want to go into details about what the likely options were, because diplomats and military officials needed more time to prepare a consensus view that can be approved at a Sept. 4 NATO summit in Wales.Asked how close alliance members were to reaching that consensus, Sikorski said: "I think we're quite close," and that it should be achieved in time for the summit.The proposals under consideration by NATO fall well short of what Sikorski himself had earlier proposed, for the alliance to permanently station two brigades in eastern member states.Some NATO members have resisted increasing the alliance's military presence in the east.
FROZEN CONFLICT
Sikorski, who is Poland's nominee for the soon-to-be-vacant post of the European Union's chief diplomat, said it was a positive sign that Moscow has been negotiating with Kiev and the Red Cross over sending aid into eastern Ukraine.Several EU leaders have warned the planned Russian aid convoy on its way to the border with Ukraine could have been used as a cover for a military attack. Russia denies any such intention.The fact that Russia is talking with others about the convoy means "there is hope the whole initiative will be put within some kind of agreed procedures," said Sikorski, who was educated at Britain's Oxford University.However he cautioned that "a negative scenario" with the convoy could still be played out.He had previously said Russia had stationed large numbers of troops on its border with Ukraine because it either wanted to pressure the Western-backed government in Kiev, or because it wanted to attack.Asked if this was still his view, Sikorski replied: "Yes," though he said only Russian President Vladimir Putin knew what Moscow's next move would be.He said he believed Putin's latest strategy was to foment in eastern Ukraine a "frozen conflict" similar to the one in Moldova's Transdniestria region, which has for decades now been controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.The aim is "to distract Ukraine from implementing the association agreement (with the EU) and thereby making it more difficult for Ukraine to become a successful free market democracy," Sikorski said.Polish farmers have warned of heavy losses after Russia, a major importer of Polish agricultural produce, responded to new EU sanctions by imposing an embargo on imports of many food items from Europe."We knew all along that, having a much higher proportion of trade, exports to Russia than other countries, double the rate of Germany for example, we would pay a higher price, which is why we were not gung-ho about sanctions," Sikorski said.Asked if, despite the cost, Poland would stand firmly by the sanctions on Russia, he said: "Sure, of course."(Writing by Christian Lowe; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
