Ferguson announces changes to policing, courts 'to improve trust'-Acknowledging the complaints of protesters, Ferguson has announced plans for a civilian police oversight board and is restricting how a municipal court generates revenues for the city.Christian Science Monitor-By Patrik Jonsson-sept 9,14-yahoonews
Nearly two weeks of sometimes riotous protests in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo., have yielded hard results, including the planned creation of a civilian police oversight board and reforms at a municipal court that targeted poor blacks at least in part to raise revenues for the city.The measures directly address complaints from protesters that the powers-that-be view blacks as second-class citizens, embodied by the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer.The decision by city officials to acknowledge the complaints came after the protests and the police response sparked debate and even reforms around the country. In the process, critics say, Ferguson became emblematic of how some American cities and towns “over-police” the black community for dubious reasons, resulting in a damaging, even deadly trust divide between civilians and cops.Recommended: Race equality in America: How far have we come? “The overall goal of these changes is to improve trust within the community and increase transparency, particularly within Ferguson’s courts and police department,” Councilman Mark Byrne said in a statement. “We want to demonstrate to residents that we take their concerns extremely seriously. That’s why we’re initiating new changes within our local police force and in our courts.”St. Louis’ unique history of racial segregation and a more immediate frustration with the justice system helped fuel the protests, riots and looting that began shortly after Brown’s death on Aug. 9. Unrest and a tear-gas response by police gripped the city’s West Florissant Avenue for nearly two weeks.A recent report by ArchCity Defenders, a legal defense group, found that Ferguson police stopped, ticketed, and arrested a disproportionate number of black people, even though statistics showed that white people were more likely to be carrying contraband.In a comprehensive report, the Washington Post’s Radley Balko described how many St. Louis area cities and towns, including Ferguson, appear to be using municipal courts, in effect, to shake down poor, black residents for general revenue. In some areas, the result is that someone in nearly every household has an open arrest warrant for nonpayment of fines or for not appearing in court.Last week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced a Justice Department investigation into “revenue raising on the basis of traffic stops" in Ferguson. The 53-member Ferguson police department has three black officers. Ferguson as a whole is 70 percent black.On Monday, the City Council said it plans to create a civilian review board for the police, which would have independent power to investigate allegations of rogue policing. Officials also introduced an ordinance that would limit court revenues to 15 percent of the city’s total income and mandate that any extra money would be spent on community projects instead of going into the general fund.“I’m interested to see what the details are of these things,” Thomas Harvey, the executive director of ArchCity Defenders, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “The spirit of it is fantastic. I’m really happy to see they’re thinking creatively and working with the community to try to do this.”The distrust between police and poor blacks is hardly unique to Ferguson, and events there have given pause to police chiefs and elected officials across the country. In the wake of Ferguson, the Durham, N.C., city council, for example, ordered racial sensitivity training for its police force to address local complaints about racial enforcement of drug laws.The events in Ferguson have not gone unnoticed by Congress, either. On Tuesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing to assess the long-running Pentagon practice of sending surplus military gear to police departments both large and small. While intended as terrorism safeguards, that kind of militarization of police forces, critics say, has in some locales helped to create an antagonistic relationship between police and the people they serve.One Pentagon program has sent more than $5 billion worth of military gear, including assault rifles, armored vehicles, and drones, to local police departments, including the one in Ferguson.Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is chairing that hearing, said Tuesday that a militarized police force treated protesters in Ferguson like “enemy combatants," which she said they did not deserve.“I think most Americans were uncomfortable watching a suburban street in St. Louis with vivid images of a war zone,” she said.

REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)

09/ 9/2014 - vatican insider-Participants at the St. Egidio peace meeting say “no” to a world of war-ISIS militia in Syria-Today religious leaders, scholars and institutional representatives concluded their annual meeting in Antwerp, which began Sunday. They discussed Iraq, Ukraine, the Yazidis, the murder of the three missionary nuns in Burundi and more-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city- “Some claim that the conflict in the Middle East, in Nigeria and Iraq, which they see as a religious war, should be resolved with a war of religion and civilization. But everything is calling for us to act in an intelligent way. The world is not made for terrible simplifiers. What we have is not jihad versus crusade.” This is according to Andrea Riccardi, founder of the Community of St. Egidio, who commented on the interreligious meeting Peace is the Future which ran from Sunday to today in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The Community holds the meetings in a different city each year. This year, it coincided with the 100th anniversary of World War One – which Pope Francis will commemorate in Redipuglia, Italy, next Saturday – and at a time when many parts of the world are at war. “The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought war to Europe again, while the architecture of the Middle East has crumbled in two years and persecuted people are fleeing North Iraq becoming refugees. Syria is caught up in a devastating and inhumane war. These painful realities are the result of the revival of the instrument of war and of mixing religion and violence.”The meeting, which drew to a close this evening with a prayer for peace, was attended by religious leaders, scholars and institutional representatives and was followed via the internet, social media and live streaming by thousands of people from more than sixty different countries. Twitter users commented on the event using the #peaceisthefuture hashtag. 25 panels discussed a number of current issues. One of the key moments Francis’ long message to the participants (“the time has arrived for religious leaders to cooperate more effectively in the work of healing wounds, resolving conflicts and pursuing peace,” Francis wrote in his message, stressing Benedict XVI’s condemnation of the war as a “useless massacre”) and the prayers said for the three Italian Saverian missionaries who were murdered in Burundi.Naturally, the situation in the Middle East and the Maghreb were the focus of the meeting. Vian Dakheel, a Yazidi member of the Iraqi parliament, gave a powerful testimony of the acts of persecution against his minority. “Let it be clear that Islam is against extremism and terrorism in the most absolute terms, but if we do not understand the factors that contribute to the justification of terrorism and extremism, we will never be able to eradicate this epidemic,” the Grand Mufti of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam, said in a statement. “These radical groups, both Al Qaeda and ISIS, were initially generated by the West to promote its own interests: especially by the United States for the purpose of defeating the Soviet Union and the current state of Syria. They stimulated and supported radicalism in order to achieve their objectives and at the end they could no longer suppress it,” Ali Abtahi Sayyed Mohammad, President of the Iranian Institute for Interreligious Dialogue. “The actions of ISIS are certainly a crime against Christians and Yazidis, but also against Muslims,” Lebanese Sunni Mohammed Sammak said. Italian newspaper La Stampa’s correspondent Domenico Quirico who had been kidnapped in Syria for five months, stated: “200, 000 people died in Syria and they were not fighters, but defenceless children, women and elderly people. God seems to have vanished into thin air while the devil is busy at work.”The Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, Mor Ignatius Aphrem II and the Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans, Louis Raphael I Sako, are among those who have spoken out in defence of persecuted Christians. The latter said he hoped to meet the Pope in person in Iraq one day. Andrea Riccardi also mentioned Bishops Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim, Paul Yazigi and the Jesuit Peolo Dall’Oglio who were abducted in Syria.The meeting also focused on other conflicts such as the tensions between Ukraine and Russia. “Inside, Christians must distance themselves from a State that tries to boost patriotism using Christian symbols. Priests must not give into patriotic or nationalistic fervour, they must not share just any ideology, they cannot call for sacrifices in the name of Country and Church,” said Auxiliary Bishop Nikolaij of the Orthodox Church in Kiev. The Argentinean rabbi Abraham Skorka, a personal friend of the Pope’s was among the many who spoke out (“A fanatic interpretation of the Scriptures empties them of their authentic content, transforming them into coarse paganism”), as was Jean Arnold de Clermont of the Reformed Church of France, Zygmut Bauman, a Polish scholar who introduced the idea of liquid modernity and the US economist Jeffrey Sacks and the outgoing president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy.
09/ 9/2014 - vatican insider-Francis makes final nominations for Synod: It will be varied and include married couples-The Extraordinary Synod on the Family is approaching (5 to 19 October) and will be followed by an Ordinary Synod in 2015. Gianfranco Ravasi will write the final message. Lorenzo Baldisseri says it will be a place to meet and reflect-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-Pope Francis has now chosen all the individuals who will participate in the Extraordinary Synod on the Family which is going to be held in the Vatican from 5 to 19 October. A part from the participants which are required to be present according to the statutes, the Pope has personally nominated 26 synodal fathers, including numerous Italian cardinals and bishops representing a variety of positions and also approved the appointment of other participants who do not have the right to vote: “fraternal delegates” from other Christian Churche,s as well as observers and experts, including 13 married couples. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi will have the task of writing the final message.The Extraordinary Synod – the third since this institution was created after the Vatican Council - will deal with “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelisation” and 253 participants will be taking part. 192 of them have the right to vote. 162 of them are participating ex officio in accordance with the Synod statutes: all the presidents of the world’s 114 Bishops’ Conferences; all 25 heads of dicasteries of the Roman Curia, starting with the Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin; the 9 members of the Ordinary Council of the Synod; the 13 leaders of the Oriental Catholic Churches “sui iuris” and members of the Union of General Superiors: the Secretary General of the Synod, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, the Under-Secretary Mgr. Fabio Fabene, the president delegates (the Frenchman, André Vingt-Trois, the Filippino, Luis Antonio Tagle and the Brazilian, Raymundo Damasceno Assis), the Relator General (Hungarian cardinal Peter Erdo), the Special Secretary (Bruno Forte, Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto) and the members of the commission who will deliver the message, whose names were announced today: the president, Gianfranco Ravasi and the secretary Mgr. Victor Manuel Fernandez, rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. In addition to this, three members have been elected as representatives of the religious: the Superior General of the Jesuits, Adolfo Nicolas, the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins, Mauro Joehri and the Superior General of the Murialdo Josephines, Mario Aldegani.Today, the Holy See Press Office announced the names of the rest of the Synod’s participants, starting with the 26 members ex nomination pontificia. This shows that Pope Francis wants an open discussion among people of varied opinions regarding the family. This includes controversial issues such as allowing remarried divorcees to take Communion, marriage annulment, contraception, gender theory and pastoral care for same-sex couples. Francis has nominated cardinals Sodan, Danneels, Kasper, Scola (Milan), Caffarra, Martinez Sistach (Barcelona), Vingt Trois (Paris), Ton Hong (Hong Kong), tempest (Rio de Janeiro), Yeom Soo-Jung (Seoul), Ouedraogo (Burkina Faso), Sebastian Aguilar, Sgreccia and Bertello (figures such as cardinals Ruini and Bertone were left out), bishops Tonucci (Loreto), Menichelli (Ancona), Aguilar Retes (Tlalnepantla, Mexico), Couto (Delhi), Fernandez, Garza Trevino (Negra, Mexico), Madi (São Paulo of the Maronites, Brazil), Somi (Parma) and Mgr. Pinto (dean of the Roman Rota), the Jesuits François-Xavier Dumortier (rector of the Gregorian University) and Antonio Spadaro (editor-in-chief of Italian Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica) and Fr. Manuel Jesus Arroba Conde (Professor of Canon Law at the Lateran University). Other participants announced today, include: 16 experts (among them, an Italian couple, the former president of Italian Catholic Action Franco Miano and his wife Giuseppina De Simon who teaches Philosophy at the Faculty of Theology of Southern Italy-Naples), 38 observers (13 married couples and 12 single people), 8 “fraternal delegates” representing other Christian Churches, including Metropolitan Hilarion of the Patriarchate of Moscow and all Russia.“The itinerary for the upcoming Synod will be split into two stages: the Extraordinary General Assembly in 2014 and the Ordinary General Assembly in 2015. A new methodology will be adopted in order to make the meetings more dynamic and encourage participation with speeches and testimonies which will need to show continuity with the second stage. A synodal document will be published at the end of the discussions,” Cardinal Baldisseri says in a note presenting the Synod, published in today’s issue of Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. The criterion for renewal is to first finish the painting, then frame it.” “Synodus – which means “walking together” – is the expression used to indicate the ecclesial place where one meets to reflect, with faith in God and man, on the challenges families face today.” The purpose of the Extraordinary Synod is to “present today’s world with the beauty and values of the family that emerge from the announcement of Jesus Christ who dispels fear and sustains hope.”

Juncker set to unveil new commission-Today @ 18:06-sept 9,14-euobserver-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - The new EU commission chief, Jean-Claude Juncker, is likely to present his new team and their posts on Wednesday (10 September).With the carve-out of portfolios still ongoing on Tuesday, there is little certainty as to who will get what job, except for Italy's foreign minister Federica Mogherini who will be the youngest on the team and heading the double-hatted foreign affairs job representing both member states and being a Vice-President in the 28-strong college of commissioners.At least six other names are being touted for Vice-President jobs: the former Prime Ministers of Estonia (Andrus Ansip), Finland (Jyrki Katainen), Latvia (Valdis Dombrovskis), the current Prime Minister of Slovenia (Alenka Bratusek), Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans and the Bulgarian commissioner, Kristalina Georgieva.Bratusek, tipped to become innovation and digital agenda commissioner, is the subject of an inquiry back home about how she nominated herself without any party's support. The probe could thwart her candidacy when she faces members of the European Parliament in committee hearings.Another problematic candidate could be Ireland's nominee Phil Hogan, who is supposed to become agriculture commissioner. Hogan is facing questions over his oversight of Irish Water, a partly state-owned company which spent over €50 million on external consultants camouflaged in the contracts as IT, support and customer billing services.Hogan maintains that he was only aware of the overall spending and did not "micro-manage" the different expenditures.Another commissioner who may run into problems is Hungary's foreign minister Tibor Navracsics, tipped to take the taxation portfolio. MEPs may give him an extra tough grilling since he is a member of the government led by PM Viktor Orban, whose steps curbing media freedom and clamping down on foreign-funded NGOs have caused concern in Brussels.German media also reported that France's former finance minister Pierre Moscovici, in line for the plum economics and monetary affairs portfolio, could see centre-right MEPs question whether he will be as fiscally rigourous as his predecessors.Moscovici, a Socialist politician, could be flanked by Denmark's market liberal economy minister Margrethe Vestager as commissioner for financial services and by Belgium's centre-right MEP Marianne Thyssen in charge of competition. They will all be under the coordinating role of Finnish ex-PM Katainen, himself a former finance minister and a fiscal hawk.Germany's commissioner Guenther Oettinger meanwhile is tipped to get either the trade portfolio and be in charge of the EU-US free trade agreement which is most controversial in Germany or the Internet regulation post - again something dear to Berlin's heart.Meanwhile, Poland or Bulgaria are likely to get the budget portfolio, while Romania seems to have secured regional policy. A top MP in Romania on Tuesday congratulated Romanian commissioner nominee Corina Cretu for securing this dossier, a statement he later retracted as it broke an embargo set by Juncker.In tweets late Monday evening, Juncker's chief of staff Martin Selmayr said there will be "surprises" when the commission is unveiled, "Wednesday/Thursday.""TeamJunckerEU will be strong team. But different from what some expect. Portfolios are given to people, not to countries," he tweeted.

International waters likely off limits to EU migrant mission-Today @ 18:24-sept 9,14-euobserver-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Plans to restrict the EU border agency Frontex operations to an area close to the Italian coast could jeopardise lives should Italy’s Mare Nostrum be phased out.“If this happens, Italy must maintain the Mare Nostrum operation because otherwise we will really go back to the situation before October 2013 and because the phenomenon of arrivals by sea will not stop,” said Christopher Hein at the Italian Refugee Council in Brussels on Tuesday (9 September).Mare Nostrum was launched in October 2013 following the drowning of some 350 boat migrants off the Italian island of Lampaedusa.The operational range is important because most boat migrant interceptions take place in international waters and along the edge of Libya’s maritime boundary.Territorial waters stretch 12 nautical miles from the coast, followed by a contiguous zone up to 24 miles, and then eventually international waters.Details of the EU initiative remain murky, although Michele Cercone, EU home affairs spokesperson, told Italian media in late August that Frontex Plus (now called Joint Operation Triton) would not operate in international waters. Cercone later confirmed in an email that “the operational area of Joint Operation Triton will be closer to the Italian shores than operational area of Mare Nostrum”.“We cannot be more specific since the details are still in the process of being defined,” he added.The commission announced at the proposal’s launch in late August that Triton would merge and extend on Hermes and Aeneas; two Frontex surveillance and “early detection” operations already in Italy.But while Frontex itself participates in search and rescue operations, it does not co-ordinate them.“There is a difference between that and saying Frontex is now a search and rescue organisation, because it is not, it participates, but it [search and rescue] is still co-ordinated by national authorities,” said an EU official close to the issue.Instead, the official noted special search and rescue (SAR) zones exist in places like Malta, which requires national authorities to conduct the life saving missions themselves.Malta has avoided hosting Frontex in part because it doesn’t want to have to disembark intercepted migrants at its own ports.Concerns are also being raised should Italy decide to wind down the €9 million-a-month naval mission, which has so far saved some 115,000 people since the start of the year.Experts estimate the total will likely increase to around 150,000 to 160,000 by the end of 2014. Aside from the war in Syria, which has forced three million out of the country, the sharp increase of boat migrants over the year is also linked to the large numbers of Eritreans.Many Eritreans leaving in boats from the Libyan coast come from large reception centres based in Kenya and Sudan.Others may now come from Israel after Israeli authorities imposed severe restrictions on its asylum seeking population.Human Rights Watch on Tuesday accused Israeli authorities of unlawfully coercing almost 7,000 Eritrean and Sudanese nationals into returning to their home countries.“Destroying people’s hope of finding protection by forcing them into a corner and then claiming they are voluntarily leaving Israel is transparently abusive,” said one researcher in a statement at the human rights group.

Iraq's Shi'ite militia, Kurds use U.S. air strikes to further own agendas-Reuters-By Isabel Coles-sept 9,14-yahoonews
SULEIMAN BEG Iraq (Reuters) - A small group of people pick through putrefying human remains laid out on plastic sheets by the side of a road in northern Iraq, searching for any trace of missing friends and relatives.Some had brought spades to help dig up the mass grave near Suleiman Beg after the town was retaken from Sunni Islamic State militants who held the area until last week."They (Islamic State) slaughtered him simply because he was Shi'ite," said Jomaa Jabratollah, hauling the remnants of his friend, a truck driver, into a coffin, having identified him from the lighter in his breast pocket. "We must take revenge".Helped by the United States and Iran, Kurdish forces and Shi’ite militia are finally beating back Islamic State militants who overran most Sunni Arab areas in northern and central Iraq nearly three months ago.But the aftermath illustrates the unintended consequences of the U.S. air campaign against Islamic State.Kurdish and Shi'ite fighters have regained ground, but Sunni Muslims who fled the violence are being prevented from returning home and some have had their houses pillaged and torched.Rather than help keep the nation together, the air strikes risk being used by different factions for their own advantage in Iraq's sectarian and ethnic conflicts. The fallout also risks worsening grievances that helped Islamic State find support amongst Iraq's Sunnis, and allows the militant group to portray the U.S. strikes as targeting their minority sect. That may make it more difficult to bring Sunnis on side and convince them to fight the militants.
"NO WAY BACK"
The unlikely coalition of Kurdish peshmerga fighters, Shi'ite militias and the U.S. air force won a major victory when it broke a siege of the Shi’ite Turkman town of Amerli last week and drove Islamic State from 25 nearby Sunni towns and villages.But the aftermath is far from what the Americans envisioned. Smoke now rises from those Sunni villages, where some houses have been torched by Shi'ite militia. Others are abandoned, the walls daubed with sectarian slogans.“There is no way back for them: we will raze their homes to the ground,” said Abu Abdullah, a commander of the Shi’ite Kataib Hizbollah militia in Amerli.The area is now held by Kurdish peshmerga and Shi’ite militia, who have become the most powerful forces on the ground, rather than the Iraqi army, whose northern divisions collapsed this summer when Islamic State attacked.By the time IS was expelled from around Amerli, many Sunni civilians had fled, fearing for their lives. They have few places to go and are too frightened to return."If a regular army were holding the area we could return, but as long as the militias are there we cannot,” said a 30-year-old displaced Sunni resident of one village near Amerli, who asked to remain unnamed. "They would slaughter us on the spot."He admitted some villagers had supported IS, but said it was only one or two for every 70 to 80 households, and that the rest were innocent civilians who were too scared to stand against the militants or had nowhere else to go.Sunni Turkman al-Muradli and his family left Suleiman Beg the day after it fell to Islamic State in June and moved to a Kurdish-controlled town nearby. A month later, their 21-year-old son was abducted.The next time they saw him was in a video on the internet captioned "arrest of an Islamic State member", which appears to show their son being beheaded by Shi'ite militia fighters.His weeping mother insisted he was an innocent student and said her son's killers had phoned her demanding $2,000 to return the corpse without a head, which the caller claimed to have taken to Baghdad as a trophy."We cannot return. Even if the Shi'ite army and militia withdraw, Islamic State will come back and the same will happen all over again," said the mother.The mayor of Tuz Khurmato confirmed the account and said at least four other Sunnis had been abducted in the area in recent weeks, presumably by Shi'ite militia. At least one other video has circulated online of Shi'ite militiamen brandishing the heads of alleged Islamic State fighters.Pictures online, also allegedly from Amerli, show two militia fighters posing with a pair of charred corpses.A 42-year-old Shi'ite volunteer said it would eventually be safe for Sunnis to return and that no more than ten houses of known Islamic State members had been deliberately destroyed."The Sunnis will come back to their villages but not now: after a few months," he said."Since there is no confidence between Sunni and Shi’ite any more, they need guarantees from a third party, maybe the Kurds, then we can live peacefully together again, as we were."
ETHNIC TENSIONS
Sunni Arabs are also feeling a backlash in villages where they used to live alongside Kurds, who accuse them of collaborating with Islamic State.Kurds, who are also mostly Sunni but identify first and foremost with their ethnicity, have taken back at least 127 villages since the start of the U.S. air campaign, some of which were home to Arabs too.In one such village, returning Kurds have sprayed over the word "apostate" on the walls of houses and written "Kurdish home" instead. Arab households remain empty.Kurds in the Makhmour area, from which IS was pushed out in August, say they no longer trust Arabs enough to live with them."All my neighbors were Arabs. Now most of them are with Islamic State," said Abdul Rahman Ahmed Abdullah, a member of the Kurdish security services from the village of Baqirta, south of Arbil. "We cannot be mixed together. The only solution is for them to leave."
SOLIDARITY SHORT-LIVED
During the operation to reach Amerli, Kurds gave passage to Shi'ite militia through territory they control and allowed them to use their bases, where they fired artillery at IS positions side by side in an unusual show of solidarity."Amerli united Iraqis," said Taleb Jaafar Mohammed, a Shi'ite Turkman teacher, holding a pistol in one hand and a string of prayer beads in the other.But even during the operation, there were cracks in the coalition: Shi'ite militia and Kurdish forces fought under their own banners and the least visible flag was that of Iraq.Now that the common enemy has been pushed back, the alliance is unraveling. Kataib Hizbollah, which controls access to Amerli, is denying Kurds entry to the town and one peshmerga commander described the militia as the "Shi'ite IS".The tensions reflect a struggle for territory which the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad claims, but the Kurds want as part of their autonomous region in the north of the country."This land is ours: they are an occupying force," said Sirwan, a Kurdish fighter, when asked about the Shi'ite militia presence. "There will be bigger problems than Islamic State in this area."(Editing by Giles Elgood)
Islamist group in Syria says blast kills leader, members at meeting-Reuters-sept 9,14-yahoonews
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An explosion killed the leader of one of Syria's most powerful Islamist insurgent groups Ahrar al-Sham on Tuesday, the group said, and an organization that monitors violence in the civil war said at least 28 of its senior commanders had died.Ahrar al-Sham is a hardline Islamist group and part of the Islamic Front alliance that has been in armed conflict with the Islamic State group which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. It was at one point considered the strongest insurgent group in the Syrian civil war.A statement posted on Ahrar al-Sham's official Twitter feed said the blast had hit a meeting in Idlib province in northwest Syria and confirmed Hassan Aboud, the group's leader, among at least 12 dead.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said some 50 of the group's leaders had been gathered at a house when the blast went off. Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said the blast had occurred inside the meeting.Ahrar al-Sham, which activists say has received funding from Gulf states, aims to implement Islamic sharia law in Syria.Syrian state TV flashed an urgent news headline reporting Aboud's death.Syria descended into civil war after an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule in 2011. The United Nations recently put the death toll above 191,000 people.In January another senior Ahrar al-Sham leader, Abu Khaled al-Soury, was killed in a suicide attack. Soury had fought alongside al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and was close to its current chief Ayman al-Zawahri.(Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
Ukraine death toll edges up despite ceasefire, more POWs freed-Reuters-By Gareth Jones and Aleksandar Vasovic-sept 9,14-yahoonews
KIEV/MARIUPOL Ukraine (Reuters) - Five Ukrainian servicemen have been killed in the past four days, the military said on Tuesday, underscoring the strains in a ceasefire between government forces and pro-Russian separatists that officials insist is still broadly holding.The ceasefire, agreed on Friday, is part of a peace plan meant to end a five-month conflict that has killed more than 3,000 people and caused the sharpest confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.Russia, accused by Kiev and the West of sending troops into eastern Ukraine and arming the rebels, urged the two sides in the conflict to begin talks soon on the region's final political status. It denies accusations of intervening in the conflict.Under the terms of the ceasefire, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the rebels had so far released 648 prisoners-of-war to the government side. He said the Ukrainian side was working to secure the release of a further 500 POWs.A rebel leader, Andrei Purgin, told Interfax news agency he expected an exchange of 36 more POWs on Tuesday.The ceasefire largely held overnight into Tuesday despite sporadic violations, including in rebel-held Donetsk, the region's largest city, where government forces hold the airport. A woman was wounded in Donetsk overnight, officials said.Lysenko said the death toll among servicemen since the start of the ceasefire now stood at five, with 33 wounded.At the weekend, one woman was killed and at least four other civilians were wounded when government forces came under heavy shelling near the port of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov.Both sides say they are observing the ceasefire and blame each other for any violations."Russian troops and terrorists are continuing their brazen violations of the conditions of the ceasefire, shooting at the positions of the Ukrainian forces, including with heavy weaponry," defense analyst Dmytro Tymchuk, who has close ties to the Ukrainian military, said in a statement.
RUSSIAN CRITICISM
Speaking in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the Ukrainian forces of preparing a strike against the rebels, based on what he said were reports of a "heavy concentration" of troops in an area northeast of Donetsk.Lavrov also said Moscow hoped talks could start soon on the status of southeast Ukraine, where the rebels have declared two "people's republics" outside Kiev's control.Kiev has said it could grant greater autonomy to the mainly Russian-speaking region, which is home to much of Ukraine's heavy industry and accounts for about 18 percent of its economic output, but firmly rules out independence. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was quoted on Tuesday as saying his government would support domestic firms targeted by Western sanctions over Russia's role in Ukraine.The European Union formally adopted a package of new sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector on Monday but said their entry into force would be delayed to allow time to assess whether the ceasefire in Ukraine was working.One of the key factors driving Western anger over Moscow's role was the downing of a Malaysian airliner over eastern Ukraine in July. All 298 people on board were killed. The West blamed the separatists, saying they were using advanced Russian weapons. Russia denied the allegation and blamed Ukraine.The Dutch Safety Board said on Tuesday Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 had broken apart due to impact from a large number of fragments, in a report that Malaysia's prime minister and several experts said suggested it was shot down from the groundThe report did not assign blame.
PEACE HOPES
In eastern Ukraine, Mariupol, the main flashpoint along with Donetsk, was quiet on Tuesday, one day after President Petro Poroshenko paid a brief visit to show solidarity with a city the rebels had appeared intent on capturing before the ceasefire.Poroshenko told cheering residents on Monday he had ordered reinforcements to the city and promised to deal a "crushing defeat" to rebels massed nearby if they tried to advance again in violation of the ceasefire deal."After that bombardment (on Saturday night) we have had two quiet days and I am hoping it will stay that way. This war is taking its toll on everyone and I am hoping this will end soon," Evgeny, a 22-year-old student, told Reuters on Tuesday.Not everybody was impressed by Poroshenko's visit to Mariupol, which is important for Ukraine's steel exports but lies in the largely Russian-speaking region of Donetsk where many people blame Kiev, not the rebels, for the conflict." Poroshenko came yesterday to scare people, to talk about cannons and rockets. To me Ukraine is ready to break the ceasefire and keep on shooting its own citizens, Kiev will be responsible if this town is destroyed," said pensioner Leonid.(Additional reporting by Gabriela Baczynska in Donetsk and by Amsterdam and Moscow bureaux; Writing by Gareth Jones; Editing by Ralph Boulton)

Ferguson announces changes to policing, courts 'to improve trust'-Acknowledging the complaints of protesters, Ferguson has announced plans for a civilian police oversight board and is restricting how a municipal court generates revenues for the city.Christian Science Monitor-By Patrik Jonsson-sept 9,14-yahoonews
Nearly two weeks of sometimes riotous protests in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo., have yielded hard results, including the planned creation of a civilian police oversight board and reforms at a municipal court that targeted poor blacks at least in part to raise revenues for the city.The measures directly address complaints from protesters that the powers-that-be view blacks as second-class citizens, embodied by the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer.The decision by city officials to acknowledge the complaints came after the protests and the police response sparked debate and even reforms around the country. In the process, critics say, Ferguson became emblematic of how some American cities and towns “over-police” the black community for dubious reasons, resulting in a damaging, even deadly trust divide between civilians and cops.Recommended: Race equality in America: How far have we come? “The overall goal of these changes is to improve trust within the community and increase transparency, particularly within Ferguson’s courts and police department,” Councilman Mark Byrne said in a statement. “We want to demonstrate to residents that we take their concerns extremely seriously. That’s why we’re initiating new changes within our local police force and in our courts.”St. Louis’ unique history of racial segregation and a more immediate frustration with the justice system helped fuel the protests, riots and looting that began shortly after Brown’s death on Aug. 9. Unrest and a tear-gas response by police gripped the city’s West Florissant Avenue for nearly two weeks.A recent report by ArchCity Defenders, a legal defense group, found that Ferguson police stopped, ticketed, and arrested a disproportionate number of black people, even though statistics showed that white people were more likely to be carrying contraband.In a comprehensive report, the Washington Post’s Radley Balko described how many St. Louis area cities and towns, including Ferguson, appear to be using municipal courts, in effect, to shake down poor, black residents for general revenue. In some areas, the result is that someone in nearly every household has an open arrest warrant for nonpayment of fines or for not appearing in court.Last week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced a Justice Department investigation into “revenue raising on the basis of traffic stops" in Ferguson. The 53-member Ferguson police department has three black officers. Ferguson as a whole is 70 percent black.On Monday, the City Council said it plans to create a civilian review board for the police, which would have independent power to investigate allegations of rogue policing. Officials also introduced an ordinance that would limit court revenues to 15 percent of the city’s total income and mandate that any extra money would be spent on community projects instead of going into the general fund.“I’m interested to see what the details are of these things,” Thomas Harvey, the executive director of ArchCity Defenders, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “The spirit of it is fantastic. I’m really happy to see they’re thinking creatively and working with the community to try to do this.”The distrust between police and poor blacks is hardly unique to Ferguson, and events there have given pause to police chiefs and elected officials across the country. In the wake of Ferguson, the Durham, N.C., city council, for example, ordered racial sensitivity training for its police force to address local complaints about racial enforcement of drug laws.The events in Ferguson have not gone unnoticed by Congress, either. On Tuesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing to assess the long-running Pentagon practice of sending surplus military gear to police departments both large and small. While intended as terrorism safeguards, that kind of militarization of police forces, critics say, has in some locales helped to create an antagonistic relationship between police and the people they serve.One Pentagon program has sent more than $5 billion worth of military gear, including assault rifles, armored vehicles, and drones, to local police departments, including the one in Ferguson.Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is chairing that hearing, said Tuesday that a militarized police force treated protesters in Ferguson like “enemy combatants," which she said they did not deserve.“I think most Americans were uncomfortable watching a suburban street in St. Louis with vivid images of a war zone,” she said.
FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN
REVELATION 13:11-13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he (FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADER) exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(BOMB OR NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,(VATICAN) which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
09/ 9/2014 - vatican insider-Participants at the St. Egidio peace meeting say “no” to a world of war-ISIS militia in Syria-Today religious leaders, scholars and institutional representatives concluded their annual meeting in Antwerp, which began Sunday. They discussed Iraq, Ukraine, the Yazidis, the murder of the three missionary nuns in Burundi and more-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city- “Some claim that the conflict in the Middle East, in Nigeria and Iraq, which they see as a religious war, should be resolved with a war of religion and civilization. But everything is calling for us to act in an intelligent way. The world is not made for terrible simplifiers. What we have is not jihad versus crusade.” This is according to Andrea Riccardi, founder of the Community of St. Egidio, who commented on the interreligious meeting Peace is the Future which ran from Sunday to today in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The Community holds the meetings in a different city each year. This year, it coincided with the 100th anniversary of World War One – which Pope Francis will commemorate in Redipuglia, Italy, next Saturday – and at a time when many parts of the world are at war. “The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought war to Europe again, while the architecture of the Middle East has crumbled in two years and persecuted people are fleeing North Iraq becoming refugees. Syria is caught up in a devastating and inhumane war. These painful realities are the result of the revival of the instrument of war and of mixing religion and violence.”The meeting, which drew to a close this evening with a prayer for peace, was attended by religious leaders, scholars and institutional representatives and was followed via the internet, social media and live streaming by thousands of people from more than sixty different countries. Twitter users commented on the event using the #peaceisthefuture hashtag. 25 panels discussed a number of current issues. One of the key moments Francis’ long message to the participants (“the time has arrived for religious leaders to cooperate more effectively in the work of healing wounds, resolving conflicts and pursuing peace,” Francis wrote in his message, stressing Benedict XVI’s condemnation of the war as a “useless massacre”) and the prayers said for the three Italian Saverian missionaries who were murdered in Burundi.Naturally, the situation in the Middle East and the Maghreb were the focus of the meeting. Vian Dakheel, a Yazidi member of the Iraqi parliament, gave a powerful testimony of the acts of persecution against his minority. “Let it be clear that Islam is against extremism and terrorism in the most absolute terms, but if we do not understand the factors that contribute to the justification of terrorism and extremism, we will never be able to eradicate this epidemic,” the Grand Mufti of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam, said in a statement. “These radical groups, both Al Qaeda and ISIS, were initially generated by the West to promote its own interests: especially by the United States for the purpose of defeating the Soviet Union and the current state of Syria. They stimulated and supported radicalism in order to achieve their objectives and at the end they could no longer suppress it,” Ali Abtahi Sayyed Mohammad, President of the Iranian Institute for Interreligious Dialogue. “The actions of ISIS are certainly a crime against Christians and Yazidis, but also against Muslims,” Lebanese Sunni Mohammed Sammak said. Italian newspaper La Stampa’s correspondent Domenico Quirico who had been kidnapped in Syria for five months, stated: “200, 000 people died in Syria and they were not fighters, but defenceless children, women and elderly people. God seems to have vanished into thin air while the devil is busy at work.”The Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, Mor Ignatius Aphrem II and the Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans, Louis Raphael I Sako, are among those who have spoken out in defence of persecuted Christians. The latter said he hoped to meet the Pope in person in Iraq one day. Andrea Riccardi also mentioned Bishops Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim, Paul Yazigi and the Jesuit Peolo Dall’Oglio who were abducted in Syria.The meeting also focused on other conflicts such as the tensions between Ukraine and Russia. “Inside, Christians must distance themselves from a State that tries to boost patriotism using Christian symbols. Priests must not give into patriotic or nationalistic fervour, they must not share just any ideology, they cannot call for sacrifices in the name of Country and Church,” said Auxiliary Bishop Nikolaij of the Orthodox Church in Kiev. The Argentinean rabbi Abraham Skorka, a personal friend of the Pope’s was among the many who spoke out (“A fanatic interpretation of the Scriptures empties them of their authentic content, transforming them into coarse paganism”), as was Jean Arnold de Clermont of the Reformed Church of France, Zygmut Bauman, a Polish scholar who introduced the idea of liquid modernity and the US economist Jeffrey Sacks and the outgoing president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy.
09/ 9/2014 - vatican insider-Francis makes final nominations for Synod: It will be varied and include married couples-The Extraordinary Synod on the Family is approaching (5 to 19 October) and will be followed by an Ordinary Synod in 2015. Gianfranco Ravasi will write the final message. Lorenzo Baldisseri says it will be a place to meet and reflect-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-Pope Francis has now chosen all the individuals who will participate in the Extraordinary Synod on the Family which is going to be held in the Vatican from 5 to 19 October. A part from the participants which are required to be present according to the statutes, the Pope has personally nominated 26 synodal fathers, including numerous Italian cardinals and bishops representing a variety of positions and also approved the appointment of other participants who do not have the right to vote: “fraternal delegates” from other Christian Churche,s as well as observers and experts, including 13 married couples. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi will have the task of writing the final message.The Extraordinary Synod – the third since this institution was created after the Vatican Council - will deal with “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelisation” and 253 participants will be taking part. 192 of them have the right to vote. 162 of them are participating ex officio in accordance with the Synod statutes: all the presidents of the world’s 114 Bishops’ Conferences; all 25 heads of dicasteries of the Roman Curia, starting with the Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin; the 9 members of the Ordinary Council of the Synod; the 13 leaders of the Oriental Catholic Churches “sui iuris” and members of the Union of General Superiors: the Secretary General of the Synod, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, the Under-Secretary Mgr. Fabio Fabene, the president delegates (the Frenchman, André Vingt-Trois, the Filippino, Luis Antonio Tagle and the Brazilian, Raymundo Damasceno Assis), the Relator General (Hungarian cardinal Peter Erdo), the Special Secretary (Bruno Forte, Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto) and the members of the commission who will deliver the message, whose names were announced today: the president, Gianfranco Ravasi and the secretary Mgr. Victor Manuel Fernandez, rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. In addition to this, three members have been elected as representatives of the religious: the Superior General of the Jesuits, Adolfo Nicolas, the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins, Mauro Joehri and the Superior General of the Murialdo Josephines, Mario Aldegani.Today, the Holy See Press Office announced the names of the rest of the Synod’s participants, starting with the 26 members ex nomination pontificia. This shows that Pope Francis wants an open discussion among people of varied opinions regarding the family. This includes controversial issues such as allowing remarried divorcees to take Communion, marriage annulment, contraception, gender theory and pastoral care for same-sex couples. Francis has nominated cardinals Sodan, Danneels, Kasper, Scola (Milan), Caffarra, Martinez Sistach (Barcelona), Vingt Trois (Paris), Ton Hong (Hong Kong), tempest (Rio de Janeiro), Yeom Soo-Jung (Seoul), Ouedraogo (Burkina Faso), Sebastian Aguilar, Sgreccia and Bertello (figures such as cardinals Ruini and Bertone were left out), bishops Tonucci (Loreto), Menichelli (Ancona), Aguilar Retes (Tlalnepantla, Mexico), Couto (Delhi), Fernandez, Garza Trevino (Negra, Mexico), Madi (São Paulo of the Maronites, Brazil), Somi (Parma) and Mgr. Pinto (dean of the Roman Rota), the Jesuits François-Xavier Dumortier (rector of the Gregorian University) and Antonio Spadaro (editor-in-chief of Italian Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica) and Fr. Manuel Jesus Arroba Conde (Professor of Canon Law at the Lateran University). Other participants announced today, include: 16 experts (among them, an Italian couple, the former president of Italian Catholic Action Franco Miano and his wife Giuseppina De Simon who teaches Philosophy at the Faculty of Theology of Southern Italy-Naples), 38 observers (13 married couples and 12 single people), 8 “fraternal delegates” representing other Christian Churches, including Metropolitan Hilarion of the Patriarchate of Moscow and all Russia.“The itinerary for the upcoming Synod will be split into two stages: the Extraordinary General Assembly in 2014 and the Ordinary General Assembly in 2015. A new methodology will be adopted in order to make the meetings more dynamic and encourage participation with speeches and testimonies which will need to show continuity with the second stage. A synodal document will be published at the end of the discussions,” Cardinal Baldisseri says in a note presenting the Synod, published in today’s issue of Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano.

Juncker set to unveil new commission-Today @ 18:06-sept 9,14-euobserver-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - The new EU commission chief, Jean-Claude Juncker, is likely to present his new team and their posts on Wednesday (10 September).With the carve-out of portfolios still ongoing on Tuesday, there is little certainty as to who will get what job, except for Italy's foreign minister Federica Mogherini who will be the youngest on the team and heading the double-hatted foreign affairs job representing both member states and being a Vice-President in the 28-strong college of commissioners.At least six other names are being touted for Vice-President jobs: the former Prime Ministers of Estonia (Andrus Ansip), Finland (Jyrki Katainen), Latvia (Valdis Dombrovskis), the current Prime Minister of Slovenia (Alenka Bratusek), Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans and the Bulgarian commissioner, Kristalina Georgieva.Bratusek, tipped to become innovation and digital agenda commissioner, is the subject of an inquiry back home about how she nominated herself without any party's support. The probe could thwart her candidacy when she faces members of the European Parliament in committee hearings.Another problematic candidate could be Ireland's nominee Phil Hogan, who is supposed to become agriculture commissioner. Hogan is facing questions over his oversight of Irish Water, a partly state-owned company which spent over €50 million on external consultants camouflaged in the contracts as IT, support and customer billing services.Hogan maintains that he was only aware of the overall spending and did not "micro-manage" the different expenditures.Another commissioner who may run into problems is Hungary's foreign minister Tibor Navracsics, tipped to take the taxation portfolio. MEPs may give him an extra tough grilling since he is a member of the government led by PM Viktor Orban, whose steps curbing media freedom and clamping down on foreign-funded NGOs have caused concern in Brussels.German media also reported that France's former finance minister Pierre Moscovici, in line for the plum economics and monetary affairs portfolio, could see centre-right MEPs question whether he will be as fiscally rigourous as his predecessors.Moscovici, a Socialist politician, could be flanked by Denmark's market liberal economy minister Margrethe Vestager as commissioner for financial services and by Belgium's centre-right MEP Marianne Thyssen in charge of competition. They will all be under the coordinating role of Finnish ex-PM Katainen, himself a former finance minister and a fiscal hawk.Germany's commissioner Guenther Oettinger meanwhile is tipped to get either the trade portfolio and be in charge of the EU-US free trade agreement which is most controversial in Germany or the Internet regulation post - again something dear to Berlin's heart.Meanwhile, Poland or Bulgaria are likely to get the budget portfolio, while Romania seems to have secured regional policy. A top MP in Romania on Tuesday congratulated Romanian commissioner nominee Corina Cretu for securing this dossier, a statement he later retracted as it broke an embargo set by Juncker.In tweets late Monday evening, Juncker's chief of staff Martin Selmayr said there will be "surprises" when the commission is unveiled, "Wednesday/Thursday.""TeamJunckerEU will be strong team. But different from what some expect. Portfolios are given to people, not to countries," he tweeted.

International waters likely off limits to EU migrant mission-Today @ 18:24-sept 9,14-euobserver-By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - Plans to restrict the EU border agency Frontex operations to an area close to the Italian coast could jeopardise lives should Italy’s Mare Nostrum be phased out.“If this happens, Italy must maintain the Mare Nostrum operation because otherwise we will really go back to the situation before October 2013 and because the phenomenon of arrivals by sea will not stop,” said Christopher Hein at the Italian Refugee Council in Brussels on Tuesday (9 September).Mare Nostrum was launched in October 2013 following the drowning of some 350 boat migrants off the Italian island of Lampaedusa.The operational range is important because most boat migrant interceptions take place in international waters and along the edge of Libya’s maritime boundary.Territorial waters stretch 12 nautical miles from the coast, followed by a contiguous zone up to 24 miles, and then eventually international waters.Details of the EU initiative remain murky, although Michele Cercone, EU home affairs spokesperson, told Italian media in late August that Frontex Plus (now called Joint Operation Triton) would not operate in international waters. Cercone later confirmed in an email that “the operational area of Joint Operation Triton will be closer to the Italian shores than operational area of Mare Nostrum”.“We cannot be more specific since the details are still in the process of being defined,” he added.The commission announced at the proposal’s launch in late August that Triton would merge and extend on Hermes and Aeneas; two Frontex surveillance and “early detection” operations already in Italy.But while Frontex itself participates in search and rescue operations, it does not co-ordinate them.“There is a difference between that and saying Frontex is now a search and rescue organisation, because it is not, it participates, but it [search and rescue] is still co-ordinated by national authorities,” said an EU official close to the issue.Instead, the official noted special search and rescue (SAR) zones exist in places like Malta, which requires national authorities to conduct the life saving missions themselves.Malta has avoided hosting Frontex in part because it doesn’t want to have to disembark intercepted migrants at its own ports.Concerns are also being raised should Italy decide to wind down the €9 million-a-month naval mission, which has so far saved some 115,000 people since the start of the year.Experts estimate the total will likely increase to around 150,000 to 160,000 by the end of 2014. Aside from the war in Syria, which has forced three million out of the country, the sharp increase of boat migrants over the year is also linked to the large numbers of Eritreans.Many Eritreans leaving in boats from the Libyan coast come from large reception centres based in Kenya and Sudan.Others may now come from Israel after Israeli authorities imposed severe restrictions on its asylum seeking population.Human Rights Watch on Tuesday accused Israeli authorities of unlawfully coercing almost 7,000 Eritrean and Sudanese nationals into returning to their home countries.“Destroying people’s hope of finding protection by forcing them into a corner and then claiming they are voluntarily leaving Israel is transparently abusive,” said one researcher in a statement at the human rights group.

Iraq's Shi'ite militia, Kurds use U.S. air strikes to further own agendas-Reuters-By Isabel Coles-sept 9,14-yahoonews
SULEIMAN BEG Iraq (Reuters) - A small group of people pick through putrefying human remains laid out on plastic sheets by the side of a road in northern Iraq, searching for any trace of missing friends and relatives.Some had brought spades to help dig up the mass grave near Suleiman Beg after the town was retaken from Sunni Islamic State militants who held the area until last week."They (Islamic State) slaughtered him simply because he was Shi'ite," said Jomaa Jabratollah, hauling the remnants of his friend, a truck driver, into a coffin, having identified him from the lighter in his breast pocket. "We must take revenge".Helped by the United States and Iran, Kurdish forces and Shi’ite militia are finally beating back Islamic State militants who overran most Sunni Arab areas in northern and central Iraq nearly three months ago.But the aftermath illustrates the unintended consequences of the U.S. air campaign against Islamic State.Kurdish and Shi'ite fighters have regained ground, but Sunni Muslims who fled the violence are being prevented from returning home and some have had their houses pillaged and torched.Rather than help keep the nation together, the air strikes risk being used by different factions for their own advantage in Iraq's sectarian and ethnic conflicts. The fallout also risks worsening grievances that helped Islamic State find support amongst Iraq's Sunnis, and allows the militant group to portray the U.S. strikes as targeting their minority sect. That may make it more difficult to bring Sunnis on side and convince them to fight the militants.
"NO WAY BACK"
The unlikely coalition of Kurdish peshmerga fighters, Shi'ite militias and the U.S. air force won a major victory when it broke a siege of the Shi’ite Turkman town of Amerli last week and drove Islamic State from 25 nearby Sunni towns and villages.But the aftermath is far from what the Americans envisioned. Smoke now rises from those Sunni villages, where some houses have been torched by Shi'ite militia. Others are abandoned, the walls daubed with sectarian slogans.“There is no way back for them: we will raze their homes to the ground,” said Abu Abdullah, a commander of the Shi’ite Kataib Hizbollah militia in Amerli.The area is now held by Kurdish peshmerga and Shi’ite militia, who have become the most powerful forces on the ground, rather than the Iraqi army, whose northern divisions collapsed this summer when Islamic State attacked.By the time IS was expelled from around Amerli, many Sunni civilians had fled, fearing for their lives. They have few places to go and are too frightened to return."If a regular army were holding the area we could return, but as long as the militias are there we cannot,” said a 30-year-old displaced Sunni resident of one village near Amerli, who asked to remain unnamed. "They would slaughter us on the spot."He admitted some villagers had supported IS, but said it was only one or two for every 70 to 80 households, and that the rest were innocent civilians who were too scared to stand against the militants or had nowhere else to go.Sunni Turkman al-Muradli and his family left Suleiman Beg the day after it fell to Islamic State in June and moved to a Kurdish-controlled town nearby. A month later, their 21-year-old son was abducted.The next time they saw him was in a video on the internet captioned "arrest of an Islamic State member", which appears to show their son being beheaded by Shi'ite militia fighters.His weeping mother insisted he was an innocent student and said her son's killers had phoned her demanding $2,000 to return the corpse without a head, which the caller claimed to have taken to Baghdad as a trophy."We cannot return. Even if the Shi'ite army and militia withdraw, Islamic State will come back and the same will happen all over again," said the mother.The mayor of Tuz Khurmato confirmed the account and said at least four other Sunnis had been abducted in the area in recent weeks, presumably by Shi'ite militia. At least one other video has circulated online of Shi'ite militiamen brandishing the heads of alleged Islamic State fighters.Pictures online, also allegedly from Amerli, show two militia fighters posing with a pair of charred corpses.A 42-year-old Shi'ite volunteer said it would eventually be safe for Sunnis to return and that no more than ten houses of known Islamic State members had been deliberately destroyed."The Sunnis will come back to their villages but not now: after a few months," he said."Since there is no confidence between Sunni and Shi’ite any more, they need guarantees from a third party, maybe the Kurds, then we can live peacefully together again, as we were."
ETHNIC TENSIONS
Sunni Arabs are also feeling a backlash in villages where they used to live alongside Kurds, who accuse them of collaborating with Islamic State.Kurds, who are also mostly Sunni but identify first and foremost with their ethnicity, have taken back at least 127 villages since the start of the U.S. air campaign, some of which were home to Arabs too.In one such village, returning Kurds have sprayed over the word "apostate" on the walls of houses and written "Kurdish home" instead. Arab households remain empty.Kurds in the Makhmour area, from which IS was pushed out in August, say they no longer trust Arabs enough to live with them."All my neighbors were Arabs. Now most of them are with Islamic State," said Abdul Rahman Ahmed Abdullah, a member of the Kurdish security services from the village of Baqirta, south of Arbil. "We cannot be mixed together. The only solution is for them to leave."
SOLIDARITY SHORT-LIVED
During the operation to reach Amerli, Kurds gave passage to Shi'ite militia through territory they control and allowed them to use their bases, where they fired artillery at IS positions side by side in an unusual show of solidarity."Amerli united Iraqis," said Taleb Jaafar Mohammed, a Shi'ite Turkman teacher, holding a pistol in one hand and a string of prayer beads in the other.But even during the operation, there were cracks in the coalition: Shi'ite militia and Kurdish forces fought under their own banners and the least visible flag was that of Iraq.Now that the common enemy has been pushed back, the alliance is unraveling. Kataib Hizbollah, which controls access to Amerli, is denying Kurds entry to the town and one peshmerga commander described the militia as the "Shi'ite IS".The tensions reflect a struggle for territory which the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad claims, but the Kurds want as part of their autonomous region in the north of the country."This land is ours: they are an occupying force," said Sirwan, a Kurdish fighter, when asked about the Shi'ite militia presence. "There will be bigger problems than Islamic State in this area."(Editing by Giles Elgood)
Islamist group in Syria says blast kills leader, members at meeting-Reuters-sept 9,14-yahoonews
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An explosion killed the leader of one of Syria's most powerful Islamist insurgent groups Ahrar al-Sham on Tuesday, the group said, and an organization that monitors violence in the civil war said at least 28 of its senior commanders had died.Ahrar al-Sham is a hardline Islamist group and part of the Islamic Front alliance that has been in armed conflict with the Islamic State group which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. It was at one point considered the strongest insurgent group in the Syrian civil war.A statement posted on Ahrar al-Sham's official Twitter feed said the blast had hit a meeting in Idlib province in northwest Syria and confirmed Hassan Aboud, the group's leader, among at least 12 dead.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said some 50 of the group's leaders had been gathered at a house when the blast went off. Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said the blast had occurred inside the meeting.Ahrar al-Sham, which activists say has received funding from Gulf states, aims to implement Islamic sharia law in Syria.Syrian state TV flashed an urgent news headline reporting Aboud's death.Syria descended into civil war after an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule in 2011. The United Nations recently put the death toll above 191,000 people.In January another senior Ahrar al-Sham leader, Abu Khaled al-Soury, was killed in a suicide attack. Soury had fought alongside al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and was close to its current chief Ayman al-Zawahri.(Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
Ukraine death toll edges up despite ceasefire, more POWs freed-Reuters-By Gareth Jones and Aleksandar Vasovic-sept 9,14-yahoonews
KIEV/MARIUPOL Ukraine (Reuters) - Five Ukrainian servicemen have been killed in the past four days, the military said on Tuesday, underscoring the strains in a ceasefire between government forces and pro-Russian separatists that officials insist is still broadly holding.The ceasefire, agreed on Friday, is part of a peace plan meant to end a five-month conflict that has killed more than 3,000 people and caused the sharpest confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.Russia, accused by Kiev and the West of sending troops into eastern Ukraine and arming the rebels, urged the two sides in the conflict to begin talks soon on the region's final political status. It denies accusations of intervening in the conflict.Under the terms of the ceasefire, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the rebels had so far released 648 prisoners-of-war to the government side. He said the Ukrainian side was working to secure the release of a further 500 POWs.A rebel leader, Andrei Purgin, told Interfax news agency he expected an exchange of 36 more POWs on Tuesday.The ceasefire largely held overnight into Tuesday despite sporadic violations, including in rebel-held Donetsk, the region's largest city, where government forces hold the airport. A woman was wounded in Donetsk overnight, officials said.Lysenko said the death toll among servicemen since the start of the ceasefire now stood at five, with 33 wounded.At the weekend, one woman was killed and at least four other civilians were wounded when government forces came under heavy shelling near the port of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov.Both sides say they are observing the ceasefire and blame each other for any violations."Russian troops and terrorists are continuing their brazen violations of the conditions of the ceasefire, shooting at the positions of the Ukrainian forces, including with heavy weaponry," defense analyst Dmytro Tymchuk, who has close ties to the Ukrainian military, said in a statement.
RUSSIAN CRITICISM
Speaking in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the Ukrainian forces of preparing a strike against the rebels, based on what he said were reports of a "heavy concentration" of troops in an area northeast of Donetsk.Lavrov also said Moscow hoped talks could start soon on the status of southeast Ukraine, where the rebels have declared two "people's republics" outside Kiev's control.Kiev has said it could grant greater autonomy to the mainly Russian-speaking region, which is home to much of Ukraine's heavy industry and accounts for about 18 percent of its economic output, but firmly rules out independence. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was quoted on Tuesday as saying his government would support domestic firms targeted by Western sanctions over Russia's role in Ukraine.The European Union formally adopted a package of new sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector on Monday but said their entry into force would be delayed to allow time to assess whether the ceasefire in Ukraine was working.One of the key factors driving Western anger over Moscow's role was the downing of a Malaysian airliner over eastern Ukraine in July. All 298 people on board were killed. The West blamed the separatists, saying they were using advanced Russian weapons. Russia denied the allegation and blamed Ukraine.The Dutch Safety Board said on Tuesday Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 had broken apart due to impact from a large number of fragments, in a report that Malaysia's prime minister and several experts said suggested it was shot down from the groundThe report did not assign blame.
PEACE HOPES
In eastern Ukraine, Mariupol, the main flashpoint along with Donetsk, was quiet on Tuesday, one day after President Petro Poroshenko paid a brief visit to show solidarity with a city the rebels had appeared intent on capturing before the ceasefire.Poroshenko told cheering residents on Monday he had ordered reinforcements to the city and promised to deal a "crushing defeat" to rebels massed nearby if they tried to advance again in violation of the ceasefire deal."After that bombardment (on Saturday night) we have had two quiet days and I am hoping it will stay that way. This war is taking its toll on everyone and I am hoping this will end soon," Evgeny, a 22-year-old student, told Reuters on Tuesday.Not everybody was impressed by Poroshenko's visit to Mariupol, which is important for Ukraine's steel exports but lies in the largely Russian-speaking region of Donetsk where many people blame Kiev, not the rebels, for the conflict." Poroshenko came yesterday to scare people, to talk about cannons and rockets. To me Ukraine is ready to break the ceasefire and keep on shooting its own citizens, Kiev will be responsible if this town is destroyed," said pensioner Leonid.(Additional reporting by Gabriela Baczynska in Donetsk and by Amsterdam and Moscow bureaux; Writing by Gareth Jones; Editing by Ralph Boulton)
