POISONED WATERS
HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,(EARTH) because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
ZEPHANIAH 1:2-3
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

Efforts underway to scrub spilled oil from California coast-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews
GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — Cleanup crews fanned out Wednesday along a stretch of scenic California coastline stained by thousands of gallons of crude oil that spilled from a broken pipe and flowed into the Pacific Ocean.Workers from an environmental cleanup company strapped on boots and gloves and picked up shovels and rakes to tackle the gobs of goo stuck to sand and rocks along Refugio State Beach on the southern Santa Barbara County coast.The accident Tuesday happened on the same stretch of coastline as a 1969 spill, which was the largest ever in U.S. waters at the time and is credited with giving rise to the American environmental movement.Members of the International Bird Rescue organization were also on hand Wednesday to clean any birds that become covered with oil, though none were immediately spotted in the calm seas that produced small waves.Fan Yang, 26, of Indianapolis, stood on a bluff overlooking the beach, where the stench of petroleum was heavy."It smells like what they use to pave the roads," said Yang, who was hoping to find cleaner beaches in Santa Barbara. "I'm sad for the birds — if they lose their habitat."The broken onshore pipeline spewed oil down a storm drain and into the ocean for several hours Tuesday before it was shut off, creating a slick some 4 miles long about 20 miles west of Santa Barbara.
Initial estimates put the spill at about 21,000 gallons, but that figure would likely change after a Wednesday flyover gave a better sense of the scope, U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Jennifer Williams said.Authorities responding to reports of a foul smell near Refugio State Beach around noon found a half-mile slick in the ocean, county fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni said. They traced the oil to the pipeline that spilled into a culvert running under a highway and into a storm drain that empties into the ocean.The 24-inch pipeline was shut off about three hours later. It's owned by Plains All American Pipeline, which said it stopped the flow of oil and blocked the culvert."Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact," the company said in a statement.After the spill, boats from the nonprofit collective Clean Seas helped with cleanup but were having trouble because much of the oil was close to shore, Williams said. About 850 gallons of oil have been recovered from the water, she said.The state Department of Fish and Wildlife has closed fishing and shellfish harvesting for a mile east and west of the beach.The area is home to offshore oil rigs, and small amounts of tar from natural seepage regularly show up on beaches. In 1969, several hundred thousand gallons spilled from a blowout on an oil platform and thousands of seabirds and many marine mammals were killed.The oil industry brings risks, said Bob Deans, spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council."Santa Barbara learned that lesson over 40 years ago when offshore drilling led to disaster," he said in a statement.The Santa Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center said having the spill occur in "a sensitive and treasured environment is devastating to watch." The group was concerned about whales that migrate through the area."Oil spills are part of the ugly cost of fossil fuel development, made even worse by aging domestic infrastructure," said Miyoko Sakashita, oceans director for the Center for Biological Diversity.It was unclear how long the cleanup would take and whether Refugio beach and other areas would be reopened in time for Memorial Day weekend.

North Korea modified submarine missile launch photos, says U.S. official-Reuters By James Pearson-may 20,15-yahoonews
SEOUL (Reuters) - Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.North Korea, sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile which, if true, would indicate progress in its pursuit of missile-equipped submarines.On Wednesday, North Korea warned the United States not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday."They have not gotten as far as their clever video editors and spinmeisters would have us believe," said Winnefeld, who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Analysis seen by Reuters from German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie appeared to support Winnefeld's statement.The Munich-based pair said photos of the launch were "strongly modified", including reflections of the missile exhaust flame in the water which did not line up with the missile itself.North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States, had a record of offering faked proof to claim advances in missile technology, Schiller and Schmucker said, such as poorly built mockups of missiles on display at military parades in 2012 and 2013.The pair agreed with analysis posted by experts on the websites 38north.org and armscontrolwonk.com that the missile was likely launched from a specially designed submerged barge, and not from a submarine-A photo on state television showed a missile high in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke, whereas other photos from state media showed no white smoke, suggesting the two photos were of different missiles with different propulsion systems, Schiller and Schmucker said.South Korea stood by its position that the photos appeared authentic. "We haven't changed our stance that the rocket was fired from a submarine and flew about 150 meters out of the water,” a South Korean military official said.The North's National Defence Commission, the main ruling body headed by leader Kim Jong Un, said on Wednesday the submarine-based missile launch was "yet a higher level of accomplishment in the development of strategic attack means".(This version of the story removes the quotation marks from the headline.)(Additional reporting by Ju-min Park; Editing by Nick Macfie and Jeremy Laurence)
N. Korea says can arm long-range missiles with nuclear warheads-AFP By Park Chan-Kyong-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
North Korea ramped up its nuclear threats on Wednesday, boasting of its ability to deliver miniaturised warheads on high-precision long range rockets -- a claim denied by the United States.At the same time, the North denounced "reckless" remarks made in Seoul this week by US Secretary of State John Kerry, and cancelled an invitation to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to visit a joint industrial zone on its side of the border with South Korea.Pyongyang has been flexing its advancing military muscle of late, most recently announcing it had successfully test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).On Wednesday its powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) claimed that the country's nuclear arsenal was already highly developed."It has been a long time since we began miniaturising and diversifying our means of nuclear strike," the commission said in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency."We have also reached the stage where the highest accuracy rate is guaranteed, not only for short- and medium-range missiles but long-range missiles as well," the NDC said.
Washington rejected the nuclear claim.
"Our assessment of North Korea's nuclear capabilities has not changed. We do not think that they have that capacity" to miniaturise weapons, a US National Security Council spokesman told AFP.But the spokesman agreed Pyongyang was "working on developing a number of long-range missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, that could eventually threaten our allies and the homeland".Reducing the size of a nuclear warhead to the point where it can fit on a missile would be a major leap forward in establishing a genuine deterrent, and Pyongyang has claimed progress with miniaturisation before.In January the South Korean Defence Ministry said it believed the North's ability to miniaturise a nuclear device had reached a "significant" level. The top US homeland security commander, Admiral William Gortney, said last month the North was already capable of mounting a warhead on a missile.
- Expert doubts -
But other senior officials in both countries have questioned such assessments, and independent analysts on Wednesday stressed that the North's claims were often overblown."There are differences between their statements and their actual operational reality," Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based senior researcher of the International Crisis Group, told AFP."Some of it is bluster or exaggeration and maybe for internal audiences, and some of it is probably also for external audiences in an effort to test and to see if they can use systems for blackmail or coercion," he said.Cho Han-Bum, an analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said Pyongyang was "too cash-strapped" to perfect such intricate technology as miniaturising a warhead."I find the claim hard to believe," he said.
- Expanding nuclear programme -
Experts have voiced similar doubts over the recent SLBM test, suggesting it was probably not submarine-launched at all, but likely fired from a submerged barge.And it was probably an "ejection test" in which the missile is launched underwater, breaks the surface and then falls back after a few seconds of partial fuel burn.But scepticism over the North's claims for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capability are heavily outweighed by genuine concern at the expansion of both programmes.A recent report by US researchers warned that North Korea could, in a worst-case scenario, possess 100 nuclear bombs arms by 2020.North Korea carried out nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 and has an extremely active ballistic missile development programme, even if expert opinion is split on how much progress it has made.During his visit to Seoul Kerry had denounced Kim Jong-Un's "egregious" leadership, saying he had fuelled regional tensions with repeated "provocative, destabilising and repressive actions".The North Korean Foreign Ministry responded Wednesday, calling Kerry's comments those of "a loser admitting the total failure" of US policy towards Pyongyang.Separately Wednesday, Pyongyang cancelled without explanation an invitation for Ban, who is also in Seoul, to visit the Kaesong joint industrial area which lies 10 kilometers over the inter-Korean border.Had Thursday's visit gone ahead, Ban would have become the first UN secretary-general to set foot in the isolated state for more than 20 years, since Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 1993."This decision by Pyongyang is deeply regrettable," the UN chief, a former foreign minister of South Korea, told a forum in Seoul."However, I as the secretary-general of the United Nations, will not spare any efforts to encourage (North Korea) to work with the international community for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and beyond."Speaking at an Asian leadership forum in Seoul on Tuesday, Ban had warned that continued North Korean provocation risked fuelling tensions and a possible arms race across the region.

Tornadoes hit Texas and Oklahoma, at least one person hurt-Reuters-may 20,15-yahoonews
(Reuters) - Tornadoes spun through parts of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma on Tuesday, damaging buildings and injuring at least one person, officials said.The National Weather Service said several twisters were reported in the region and at least one person was injured at a Ramada hotel in Lee County, Texas when a tornado hit just after noon local time.Local broadcaster KEYE said the man was hurt after debris smashed through a window and hit him in the face. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, KEYE reported.A storm system that brought hail and severe thunderstorms to the area was forecast to potentially spawn tornadoes, one of which heavily damaged buildings in the Texas town of Mineral Wells around 7:30 p.m. local time.A photograph published by the local Mineral Wells Index newspaper showed a collapsed building with its metal support beams and roof splayed across the street.The Weather Service said a tornado was also reported at the local police station. Officials there could not be immediately reached by phone.(Reporting by Curtis Skinner in San Francisco)
Colombia to hold mass funeral for landslide victims-AFP-may 20,15-yahoonews
Salgar (Colombia) (AFP) - Mourners will hold a collective funeral for the victims of a massive landslide that killed at least 78 people in northwest Colombia, religious officials said Wednesday.Rescue workers continued searching for victims after the Liboriana River burst its banks early Monday and sent a flood of mud rushing down a ravine, virtually obliterating the small town of La Margarita.But officials and family members said little hope remained that any of the missing would be found alive.Thirty-nine bodies have been identified in the regional capital Medellin and are expected to begin arriving home Thursday, said Ruben Lopez, the parish priest for Salgar, the municipality of 18,000 people where La Margarita is located.
"There will be a collective ceremony," he told AFP. It will be held in Salgar's main park because his church would likely be too small to hold all the mourners.Awaiting news of their loved ones' fate, survivors wrapped in mud-stained blankets gathered outside the local cemetery, where the bodies were being brought as they were found."In the midst of all this tragedy, the only hope we have left is to find them and give them a proper burial," said survivor Jaime Londono."I would like to see the search continue until all the families in town find our siblings, children, parents, grandchildren... whatever relatives there were," said Luz Arboleda, whose 33-year-old brother is still missing.His children, 11 and 14, survived the landslide, but their mother did not. Arboleda fears they are among those orphaned by the tragedy.At least nine children perished.More than 700 people were left homeless by the landslide, which hit in the middle of the night, when most residents were asleep.They are being housed in temporary shelters or on the coffee plantations that dot the region's green mountains and are the backbone of its economy.President Juan Manuel Santos has announced that affected families will receive $7,000 each, as well as temporary housing and help to rebuild their homes.Colombia's tropical climate and mountainous landscapes make it prone to landslides.Salgar's Municipal Development Plan for 2012 to 2015 had highlighted the risk of landslides in the area, local media reported.

Pope's No. 2 offers new insights into climate encyclical-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis' No. 2 says a new development model is needed to combat global warming, one that marries economic growth with sustainability.Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, said in another prelude to Francis' environment encyclical that both political and economic commitment will be required to ensure the planet's health for future generations.Parolin's remarks were contained in a message Wednesday to a conference of business and church leaders on how sustainable actions can drive the economic growth needed to lift people out of poverty. It's a theme that Francis is expected to explore in his encyclical, which is due in the coming weeks.The conference was organized by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, which aims to promote growth while addressing climate change.

Banks fined more than $5B, to plead guilty to market rigging-Associated Press By KEN SWEET and ERIC TUCKER-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four global banks agreed Wednesday to pay more than $5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to rigging the world's currency market, the first time in more than two decades that major players in the financial industry have admitted to criminal wrongdoing on such a scale.Traders at JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland conspired among themselves to fix exchange rates on U.S. dollars and euros, according to a resolution announced by the banks and the Justice Department. The currency traders, who called themselves "The Cartel," allegedly shared customer orders through chat rooms and used that information to profit at their clients' expense.The resolution is complex and involves multiple regulators in the U.S. and overseas.The four banks will pay a combined $2.5 billion in criminal penalties to the Justice Department for criminal manipulation of currency rates between 2007 and 2013. The Federal Reserve is slapping them with an additional $1.6 billion in fines, as the banks' chief regulator. Finally, Britain's Barclays is paying an additional $1.3 billion to British and U.S. regulators for its role in the scheme.Another bank, Switzerland's UBS, has agreed to plead guilty to manipulating key interest rates and will pay a separate criminal penalty of $203 million.Big banks have already been fined billions for their role in the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. Even so, the latest penalties are big. Including an agreement announced last year, the group of banks will pay nearly $9 billion in fines for manipulating the $5.3 trillion currency market.Still, the penalties pale in comparison to the banks' profits. JPMorgan Chase had $4.1 billion in revenue from its fixed income and currencies business in the first quarter of this year alone, while Citi had $3.48 billion.It is rare to see a bank plead guilty to wrongdoing. Even in the aftermath of the financial crisis, most financial companies reached "non-prosecution agreements" or "deferred prosecution agreements" with regulators, agreeing to pay billions in fines but not admitting any guilt. If any guilt was acknowledged, it was usually by one of the bank's subsidiaries or divisions — not the overall company.One of the most notable financial institutions to plead guilty to criminal wrongdoing was investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert. It pleaded guilty to fraud in the 1980s after the junk bond bubble burst.Unlike the stock and bond markets, currencies trade nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The market pauses two times a day, a moment known as "the fix." Traders in the cartel allegedly shared client orders with rivals ahead of the "fix" and pumped up currency rates to make profits.Global companies, which do business in multiple currencies, rely on their banks to give them the closest thing to an official exchange rate each day. The banks are supposed to be looking out for them instead of conspiring to get even bigger profits by using customers' orders against them. Travelers who regularly exchange currencies also need to get a fair price for their euros or dollars.The number of traders who took part in the currency fixing was small. JPMorgan said the one trader involved has been fired. Citi said it fired nine employees.The agreement with the Justice Department is subject to court approval. If it is approved, all five banks will be put on three years of corporate probation. They will also help prosecutors investigate individuals who took part in the rigging.

France broadly backs EU plan amid growing opposition to immigration-Reuters By Elizabeth Pineau and Mark John-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (Reuters) - France gave broad backing on Wednesday to an EU scheme to share out asylum-seekers among EU states to deal with a surge of migrants, after a week of ambiguity that reflected growing public opposition to immigration.French diplomats acknowledged there had been confusion between Paris and Brussels on the project, but officials dismissed media reports that Paris opposed the plan outright.
The episode is the latest to underline growing sensitivities in the European Union as anti-immigrant movements such as France's National Front win support just as the continent sees a surge in migrants fleeing strife in Africa and the Middle East.The EU executive, the European Commission, last week unveiled a plan including a "temporary distribution mechanism" to help the bloc's 28 states better share out the effort of assessing asylum claims after over 600,000 sought refuge in the EU last year. It proposed allocating them according to a complex formula.In a statement issued after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Francois Hollande's Socialist government confirmed that it backed such a scheme, "built around criteria that need thorough discussion", but insisted it could not accept "quotas".The term has been latched onto by anti-immigration groups as a sign that refugees are being imposed on France from outside.It was then taken up last weekend by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who said in a speech that France could never accept migrant quotas.
"FRANCE WILL TAKE ITS SHARE"
Various French media took this to mean that Paris opposed the scheme outright, but a French diplomat who declined to be named said Paris was merely trying to avoid a loaded term."Things are simple in substance but complicated in the semantics. The communication has been a bit clumsy," said the diplomat. "France will take its share."A second official said Paris was happy with the spirit of the Commission proposals but still had concerns on how the distribution would be calculated; the amount of refugees to be brought in for resettlement; and how those who were simply economic migrants could be quickly identified.A Commission spokeswoman in Brussels said a legislative proposal would be presented to governments by the end of the month.The plan will need the backing of at least 15 countries representing 65 percent of the bloc's population. Spain has raised objections, while Britain has said it will opt out.French officials say that France, Italy, Britain, Germany and Sweden between them handle three-quarters of all asylum applications on the continent.Ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to win National Front voters over to his conservative UMP with tough policies on national identity and immigration. Valls is also noted for strong rhetoric on crime and illegal immigration.National Front leader Marine Le Pen said Valls' "No quotas" speech was a smokescreen."Manuel Valls is being deliberately vague when he talks about a fairer distribution of foreigners washing up on Europe's shores - which is tantamount to an increase in the migratory burden already weighing on France," she said in a statement.(Additional reporting by Alastair Macdonald in Brussels; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

Poroshenko says Ukraine waging 'real war' with Russia-AFP By Dmitry Zaks-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Kiev (AFP) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sparked fresh Kremlin fury on Wednesday by warning that his crisis-torn country was fighting a "real war" against Russian aggressors that could escalate at any time.The pro-Western leader said the weekend capture of two purported Russian special forces members proved that the separatist uprising in the industrial east of Ukraine was a guise for a Moscow-orchestrated campaign aimed at breaking up his ex-Soviet state."This is not a fight with Russian-backed separatists, this is a real war with Russia," the 49-year-old Ukrainian leader told the BBC."The fact that we captured... Russian regular special forces soldiers (is) strong evidence of that."Ukraine's military on Tuesday showed off two wounded Russians who had been taken prisoner during a firefight in Lugansk -- a blue-collar region that together with neighbouring Donetsk revolted against Kiev's shift toward the West 13 months ago.The men testified during a taped interrogation that they entered the war zone nearly two months ago as part of a 200-strong reconnaissance unit from the Russian army's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).A Ukrainian Security Service spokesman said the suspects have been charged with involvement in "terrorist activity" and given a chance to phone their relatives back home.Moscow acknowledges the presence of Russian "volunteers" and off-duty servicemen in Ukraine but rejects charges that they are there under orders from President Vladimir Putin's generals.But two Russian opposition activists investigating the deaths of three other GRU members said they had found fresh graves that showed they died on active duty in Ukraine.Kiev's detention and display before world media on Tuesday of the two soldiers captured in Lugansk has outraged the Kremlin and threatened to cement Putin's resolve to keep Kiev within Moscow's orbit for years.Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said flatly that the "Kremlin does not agree" with what the Ukrainian leader told the BBC."First of all, one has to understand that unfortunately, Kiev is waging war against its own citizens," Russian news agencies quoted Peskov as saying."They are the ones coming under fire and they are the ones dying," said Peskov. "We should probably be talking about that first."The comments were followed a few hours later by a Ukrainian cabinet decision to suspend all sales of military and advanced aerospace equipment to Russia that began under the terms of a landmark agreement signed in 1993.Ukraine supplied Zenit rockets for Russia's lucrative commercial and strategic military satellite launches.It also built boosters that propelled Russian Proton cargo-hauling rockets to the International Space Station.
- Russia 'preparing an offensive' -
The United Nations believes the more than year-long conflict has claimed at least 6,250 lives and driven more than a million people from their homes.A second truce agreement Poroshenko struck with Putin with the help of the leaders of Germany and France in February has thus far failed to take complete hold.
Ukraine has lost at least eight servicemen since Monday in clashes across both of its renegade provinces.
Kiev blamed the violence on a new infusion of Russian troops, but agreed to hold a new round of ceasefire and political settlement talks with rebel representatives in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on Friday.Such talks have previously achieved little besides keeping all-out warfare from breaking out once again across the devastated region -- a possibility that Poroshenko said was all too real."I believe they are preparing an offensive and I think we should be ready," the Ukrainian president said.He added that he lacked "trust" in Putin but had no choice but to seek an understanding with the Kremlin strongman."I doubt the release of my territory (from Russian forces) could happen by military means," Poroshenko said.
IS enters Syria's Palmyra, threatening ancient site-AFP-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Damascus (AFP) - Islamic State group fighters recaptured the north of Syria's historic city of Palmyra Wednesday in another setback to efforts to repel the advancing jihadists after the fall of Iraq's Ramadi.
Palmyra's UNESCO-listed heritage site, including ancient temples and colonnaded streets, and its adjacent museum housing priceless artefacts, are in the city's southwest."The situation is very bad," said Syria's antiquities chief, Mamoun Abdulkarim."If only five members of IS go into the ancient buildings, they'll destroy everything," he added, calling for international action to save the city.The head of the UN cultural agency, Irina Bokova, demanded an immediate halt to fighting in Palmyra which was "putting at risk one of the most significant sites in the Middle East".Hundreds of statues and artefacts from Palmyra's museum have already been transferred out of the city, according to Abdulkarim, but many others -- including massive tombs -- could not be moved.It was the second time IS has overrun northern Palmyra, after it seized the same neighbourhoods on Saturday but held them for less than 24 hours.Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said IS had seized roughly "a third" of Palmyra.After fierce clashes on the city's edges, the jihadists entered the northern quarter on foot and seized a state security building before fanning out as regime forces fled."People are very afraid of what will happen, because IS has the capability to get to the heart of Palmyra," said Khaled al-Homsi, an activist in the city.
- 'Everything is possible' -
The jihadists sparked international outrage earlier this year when they blew up the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud and smashed artefacts in the Mosul museum.Asked if IS would be able to reach Palmyra's ruins, a Syrian military source said "everything is possible in urban warfare".The source acknowledged the jihadists had infiltrated northern neighbourhoods and said they were engaged in "street fighting".Mohammad Hassan Homsi, another activist originally from Palmyra, said the fleeing regime soldiers "headed to the military intelligence headquarters near the ruins".In neighbouring Iraq, fighting subsided three days after IS took control of Ramadi, just 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of the capital.The jihadists' capture of the city was their most significant victory since mid-2014 when they conquered swathes of land, sparking a US-led air campaign to support Baghdad.The United States says it is now considering accelerating the training and equipping of tribal forces to fight IS following Ramadi's fall.Besides the more than 3,000 air strikes carried out so far, Washington has supported a deep reform of Iraq's army and offered training to Sunni tribesmen to reclaim their own provinces.But that failed to prevent the loss of Ramadi, where militias backed by US arch-foe Iran will now take the lead in any counter-attack and reinforce their influence in Iraq.US President Barack Obama huddled Tuesday with his national security team but signalled no change of tack, despite mounting calls for a more decisive approach."There is no formal strategy review," National Security Council spokesman Alistair Baskey told AFP after the meeting.
- Planning Ramadi fightback -
"We are looking at how best to support local ground forces in Anbar," he said, "including accelerating the training and equipping of local tribes and supporting an Iraqi-led operation to retake Ramadi."However there was no suggestion weapons would be sent directly to tribes in Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, instead of via the central government in Baghdad.On Wednesday, there were no reports of major fighting as senior Iraqi officers said the anti-IS camp needed time to plan and coordinate its operations.
When Ramadi fell, separate militias announced they were rushing forces to the area and blamed the government for making that decision a month too late.During a visit to Baghdad, Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan stressed Tehran's commitment to Iraqi unity but also emphasised Iran's role in the fight against IS.According to officials from Anbar, at least 500 people were killed in three days of fighting in Ramadi during which IS used waves of suicide car bombs.The army's retreat was chaotic, once again raising questions over the credibility of Iraq's regular forces.At least 40,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the process, and many were left stranded at a bridge separating Anbar from the Baghdad governorate.The UN appealed for increased assistance to those displaced by the violence.
Canada arrests 10 suspected of heading to join militants in Mideast-Reuters By Allison Lampert-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
MONTREAL (Reuters) - Canadian police arrested 10 young people from Montreal who they suspect wanted to leave the country to join militant groups in the Middle East, officials said on Wednesday.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the 10 were detained last weekend in a series of arrests at Montreal's international airport. No charges have been laid and police declined to give any details about the people."We have reason to believe that the young Montrealers wanted to travel abroad to join jihadist groups," said RCMP spokesman Constable Erique Gasse.Police said the passports of all 10 were confiscated.Montreal is the largest city in the French-speaking province of Quebec and Canada, like other western nations, is trying to stem the flow of disaffected, mostly young Muslims, who want to join groups such as Islamic State.Six Canadian teens aged 18 to 19 disappeared from Quebec in January and February and are believed to have traveled to join Islamic State militants.French-language public broadcaster Radio-Canada said that some of the people arrested last weekend had wanted to fly to Syria via Turkey. It did not identify its sources. Police had been alerted by family members, the report said.Radio-Canada cited a lawyer for one detainee as saying the youth had been recruited over the Internet by someone promising "a better life".Last month, Canada's spy agency said the number of Canadians leaving to join militant groups in Iraq and Syria had increased 50 percent in the past few months.Canada's Conservative government introduced tough new legislation aimed at giving more powers to police and security agencies, enabling them to stop people trying to leave to join militant groups.Canada last year sent 70 special forces troops to help train Iraqi soldiers fight Islamic State, which took over swathes of Iraq and Syria last year. Six Canadian jets are taking part in U.S.-led bombing attacks against the group in both Iraq and Syria."We will not sit on the sidelines but instead join our allies to degrade and defeat (Islamic State)," Public Safety Minister Stephen Blaney said in a statement on the weekend's arrests.(Reporting by Allison Lampert, writing by David Ljunggren; Editing by Grant McCool)

Efforts underway to scrub spilled oil from California coast-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews
GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — Cleanup crews fanned out Wednesday along a stretch of scenic California coastline stained by thousands of gallons of crude oil that spilled from a broken pipe and flowed into the Pacific Ocean.Workers from an environmental cleanup company strapped on boots and gloves and picked up shovels and rakes to tackle the gobs of goo stuck to sand and rocks along Refugio State Beach on the southern Santa Barbara County coast.The accident Tuesday happened on the same stretch of coastline as a 1969 spill, which was the largest ever in U.S. waters at the time and is credited with giving rise to the American environmental movement.Members of the International Bird Rescue organization were also on hand Wednesday to clean any birds that become covered with oil, though none were immediately spotted in the calm seas that produced small waves.Fan Yang, 26, of Indianapolis, stood on a bluff overlooking the beach, where the stench of petroleum was heavy."It smells like what they use to pave the roads," said Yang, who was hoping to find cleaner beaches in Santa Barbara. "I'm sad for the birds — if they lose their habitat."The broken onshore pipeline spewed oil down a storm drain and into the ocean for several hours Tuesday before it was shut off, creating a slick some 4 miles long about 20 miles west of Santa Barbara.
Initial estimates put the spill at about 21,000 gallons, but that figure would likely change after a Wednesday flyover gave a better sense of the scope, U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Jennifer Williams said.Authorities responding to reports of a foul smell near Refugio State Beach around noon found a half-mile slick in the ocean, county fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni said. They traced the oil to the pipeline that spilled into a culvert running under a highway and into a storm drain that empties into the ocean.The 24-inch pipeline was shut off about three hours later. It's owned by Plains All American Pipeline, which said it stopped the flow of oil and blocked the culvert."Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact," the company said in a statement.After the spill, boats from the nonprofit collective Clean Seas helped with cleanup but were having trouble because much of the oil was close to shore, Williams said. About 850 gallons of oil have been recovered from the water, she said.The state Department of Fish and Wildlife has closed fishing and shellfish harvesting for a mile east and west of the beach.The area is home to offshore oil rigs, and small amounts of tar from natural seepage regularly show up on beaches. In 1969, several hundred thousand gallons spilled from a blowout on an oil platform and thousands of seabirds and many marine mammals were killed.The oil industry brings risks, said Bob Deans, spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council."Santa Barbara learned that lesson over 40 years ago when offshore drilling led to disaster," he said in a statement.The Santa Barbara-based Environmental Defense Center said having the spill occur in "a sensitive and treasured environment is devastating to watch." The group was concerned about whales that migrate through the area."Oil spills are part of the ugly cost of fossil fuel development, made even worse by aging domestic infrastructure," said Miyoko Sakashita, oceans director for the Center for Biological Diversity.It was unclear how long the cleanup would take and whether Refugio beach and other areas would be reopened in time for Memorial Day weekend.

North Korea modified submarine missile launch photos, says U.S. official-Reuters By James Pearson-may 20,15-yahoonews
SEOUL (Reuters) - Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.North Korea, sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile which, if true, would indicate progress in its pursuit of missile-equipped submarines.On Wednesday, North Korea warned the United States not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday."They have not gotten as far as their clever video editors and spinmeisters would have us believe," said Winnefeld, who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Analysis seen by Reuters from German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie appeared to support Winnefeld's statement.The Munich-based pair said photos of the launch were "strongly modified", including reflections of the missile exhaust flame in the water which did not line up with the missile itself.North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States, had a record of offering faked proof to claim advances in missile technology, Schiller and Schmucker said, such as poorly built mockups of missiles on display at military parades in 2012 and 2013.The pair agreed with analysis posted by experts on the websites 38north.org and armscontrolwonk.com that the missile was likely launched from a specially designed submerged barge, and not from a submarine-A photo on state television showed a missile high in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke, whereas other photos from state media showed no white smoke, suggesting the two photos were of different missiles with different propulsion systems, Schiller and Schmucker said.South Korea stood by its position that the photos appeared authentic. "We haven't changed our stance that the rocket was fired from a submarine and flew about 150 meters out of the water,” a South Korean military official said.The North's National Defence Commission, the main ruling body headed by leader Kim Jong Un, said on Wednesday the submarine-based missile launch was "yet a higher level of accomplishment in the development of strategic attack means".(This version of the story removes the quotation marks from the headline.)(Additional reporting by Ju-min Park; Editing by Nick Macfie and Jeremy Laurence)
N. Korea says can arm long-range missiles with nuclear warheads-AFP By Park Chan-Kyong-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
North Korea ramped up its nuclear threats on Wednesday, boasting of its ability to deliver miniaturised warheads on high-precision long range rockets -- a claim denied by the United States.At the same time, the North denounced "reckless" remarks made in Seoul this week by US Secretary of State John Kerry, and cancelled an invitation to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to visit a joint industrial zone on its side of the border with South Korea.Pyongyang has been flexing its advancing military muscle of late, most recently announcing it had successfully test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).On Wednesday its powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) claimed that the country's nuclear arsenal was already highly developed."It has been a long time since we began miniaturising and diversifying our means of nuclear strike," the commission said in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency."We have also reached the stage where the highest accuracy rate is guaranteed, not only for short- and medium-range missiles but long-range missiles as well," the NDC said.
Washington rejected the nuclear claim.
"Our assessment of North Korea's nuclear capabilities has not changed. We do not think that they have that capacity" to miniaturise weapons, a US National Security Council spokesman told AFP.But the spokesman agreed Pyongyang was "working on developing a number of long-range missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, that could eventually threaten our allies and the homeland".Reducing the size of a nuclear warhead to the point where it can fit on a missile would be a major leap forward in establishing a genuine deterrent, and Pyongyang has claimed progress with miniaturisation before.In January the South Korean Defence Ministry said it believed the North's ability to miniaturise a nuclear device had reached a "significant" level. The top US homeland security commander, Admiral William Gortney, said last month the North was already capable of mounting a warhead on a missile.
- Expert doubts -
But other senior officials in both countries have questioned such assessments, and independent analysts on Wednesday stressed that the North's claims were often overblown."There are differences between their statements and their actual operational reality," Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based senior researcher of the International Crisis Group, told AFP."Some of it is bluster or exaggeration and maybe for internal audiences, and some of it is probably also for external audiences in an effort to test and to see if they can use systems for blackmail or coercion," he said.Cho Han-Bum, an analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said Pyongyang was "too cash-strapped" to perfect such intricate technology as miniaturising a warhead."I find the claim hard to believe," he said.
- Expanding nuclear programme -
Experts have voiced similar doubts over the recent SLBM test, suggesting it was probably not submarine-launched at all, but likely fired from a submerged barge.And it was probably an "ejection test" in which the missile is launched underwater, breaks the surface and then falls back after a few seconds of partial fuel burn.But scepticism over the North's claims for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capability are heavily outweighed by genuine concern at the expansion of both programmes.A recent report by US researchers warned that North Korea could, in a worst-case scenario, possess 100 nuclear bombs arms by 2020.North Korea carried out nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 and has an extremely active ballistic missile development programme, even if expert opinion is split on how much progress it has made.During his visit to Seoul Kerry had denounced Kim Jong-Un's "egregious" leadership, saying he had fuelled regional tensions with repeated "provocative, destabilising and repressive actions".The North Korean Foreign Ministry responded Wednesday, calling Kerry's comments those of "a loser admitting the total failure" of US policy towards Pyongyang.Separately Wednesday, Pyongyang cancelled without explanation an invitation for Ban, who is also in Seoul, to visit the Kaesong joint industrial area which lies 10 kilometers over the inter-Korean border.Had Thursday's visit gone ahead, Ban would have become the first UN secretary-general to set foot in the isolated state for more than 20 years, since Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 1993."This decision by Pyongyang is deeply regrettable," the UN chief, a former foreign minister of South Korea, told a forum in Seoul."However, I as the secretary-general of the United Nations, will not spare any efforts to encourage (North Korea) to work with the international community for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and beyond."Speaking at an Asian leadership forum in Seoul on Tuesday, Ban had warned that continued North Korean provocation risked fuelling tensions and a possible arms race across the region.

Tornadoes hit Texas and Oklahoma, at least one person hurt-Reuters-may 20,15-yahoonews
(Reuters) - Tornadoes spun through parts of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma on Tuesday, damaging buildings and injuring at least one person, officials said.The National Weather Service said several twisters were reported in the region and at least one person was injured at a Ramada hotel in Lee County, Texas when a tornado hit just after noon local time.Local broadcaster KEYE said the man was hurt after debris smashed through a window and hit him in the face. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, KEYE reported.A storm system that brought hail and severe thunderstorms to the area was forecast to potentially spawn tornadoes, one of which heavily damaged buildings in the Texas town of Mineral Wells around 7:30 p.m. local time.A photograph published by the local Mineral Wells Index newspaper showed a collapsed building with its metal support beams and roof splayed across the street.The Weather Service said a tornado was also reported at the local police station. Officials there could not be immediately reached by phone.(Reporting by Curtis Skinner in San Francisco)
Colombia to hold mass funeral for landslide victims-AFP-may 20,15-yahoonews
Salgar (Colombia) (AFP) - Mourners will hold a collective funeral for the victims of a massive landslide that killed at least 78 people in northwest Colombia, religious officials said Wednesday.Rescue workers continued searching for victims after the Liboriana River burst its banks early Monday and sent a flood of mud rushing down a ravine, virtually obliterating the small town of La Margarita.But officials and family members said little hope remained that any of the missing would be found alive.Thirty-nine bodies have been identified in the regional capital Medellin and are expected to begin arriving home Thursday, said Ruben Lopez, the parish priest for Salgar, the municipality of 18,000 people where La Margarita is located.
"There will be a collective ceremony," he told AFP. It will be held in Salgar's main park because his church would likely be too small to hold all the mourners.Awaiting news of their loved ones' fate, survivors wrapped in mud-stained blankets gathered outside the local cemetery, where the bodies were being brought as they were found."In the midst of all this tragedy, the only hope we have left is to find them and give them a proper burial," said survivor Jaime Londono."I would like to see the search continue until all the families in town find our siblings, children, parents, grandchildren... whatever relatives there were," said Luz Arboleda, whose 33-year-old brother is still missing.His children, 11 and 14, survived the landslide, but their mother did not. Arboleda fears they are among those orphaned by the tragedy.At least nine children perished.More than 700 people were left homeless by the landslide, which hit in the middle of the night, when most residents were asleep.They are being housed in temporary shelters or on the coffee plantations that dot the region's green mountains and are the backbone of its economy.President Juan Manuel Santos has announced that affected families will receive $7,000 each, as well as temporary housing and help to rebuild their homes.Colombia's tropical climate and mountainous landscapes make it prone to landslides.Salgar's Municipal Development Plan for 2012 to 2015 had highlighted the risk of landslides in the area, local media reported.

Pope's No. 2 offers new insights into climate encyclical-Associated Press-may 20,15-yahoonews
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis' No. 2 says a new development model is needed to combat global warming, one that marries economic growth with sustainability.Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, said in another prelude to Francis' environment encyclical that both political and economic commitment will be required to ensure the planet's health for future generations.Parolin's remarks were contained in a message Wednesday to a conference of business and church leaders on how sustainable actions can drive the economic growth needed to lift people out of poverty. It's a theme that Francis is expected to explore in his encyclical, which is due in the coming weeks.The conference was organized by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, which aims to promote growth while addressing climate change.

Banks fined more than $5B, to plead guilty to market rigging-Associated Press By KEN SWEET and ERIC TUCKER-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four global banks agreed Wednesday to pay more than $5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to rigging the world's currency market, the first time in more than two decades that major players in the financial industry have admitted to criminal wrongdoing on such a scale.Traders at JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland conspired among themselves to fix exchange rates on U.S. dollars and euros, according to a resolution announced by the banks and the Justice Department. The currency traders, who called themselves "The Cartel," allegedly shared customer orders through chat rooms and used that information to profit at their clients' expense.The resolution is complex and involves multiple regulators in the U.S. and overseas.The four banks will pay a combined $2.5 billion in criminal penalties to the Justice Department for criminal manipulation of currency rates between 2007 and 2013. The Federal Reserve is slapping them with an additional $1.6 billion in fines, as the banks' chief regulator. Finally, Britain's Barclays is paying an additional $1.3 billion to British and U.S. regulators for its role in the scheme.Another bank, Switzerland's UBS, has agreed to plead guilty to manipulating key interest rates and will pay a separate criminal penalty of $203 million.Big banks have already been fined billions for their role in the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. Even so, the latest penalties are big. Including an agreement announced last year, the group of banks will pay nearly $9 billion in fines for manipulating the $5.3 trillion currency market.Still, the penalties pale in comparison to the banks' profits. JPMorgan Chase had $4.1 billion in revenue from its fixed income and currencies business in the first quarter of this year alone, while Citi had $3.48 billion.It is rare to see a bank plead guilty to wrongdoing. Even in the aftermath of the financial crisis, most financial companies reached "non-prosecution agreements" or "deferred prosecution agreements" with regulators, agreeing to pay billions in fines but not admitting any guilt. If any guilt was acknowledged, it was usually by one of the bank's subsidiaries or divisions — not the overall company.One of the most notable financial institutions to plead guilty to criminal wrongdoing was investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert. It pleaded guilty to fraud in the 1980s after the junk bond bubble burst.Unlike the stock and bond markets, currencies trade nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The market pauses two times a day, a moment known as "the fix." Traders in the cartel allegedly shared client orders with rivals ahead of the "fix" and pumped up currency rates to make profits.Global companies, which do business in multiple currencies, rely on their banks to give them the closest thing to an official exchange rate each day. The banks are supposed to be looking out for them instead of conspiring to get even bigger profits by using customers' orders against them. Travelers who regularly exchange currencies also need to get a fair price for their euros or dollars.The number of traders who took part in the currency fixing was small. JPMorgan said the one trader involved has been fired. Citi said it fired nine employees.The agreement with the Justice Department is subject to court approval. If it is approved, all five banks will be put on three years of corporate probation. They will also help prosecutors investigate individuals who took part in the rigging.

France broadly backs EU plan amid growing opposition to immigration-Reuters By Elizabeth Pineau and Mark John-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (Reuters) - France gave broad backing on Wednesday to an EU scheme to share out asylum-seekers among EU states to deal with a surge of migrants, after a week of ambiguity that reflected growing public opposition to immigration.French diplomats acknowledged there had been confusion between Paris and Brussels on the project, but officials dismissed media reports that Paris opposed the plan outright.
The episode is the latest to underline growing sensitivities in the European Union as anti-immigrant movements such as France's National Front win support just as the continent sees a surge in migrants fleeing strife in Africa and the Middle East.The EU executive, the European Commission, last week unveiled a plan including a "temporary distribution mechanism" to help the bloc's 28 states better share out the effort of assessing asylum claims after over 600,000 sought refuge in the EU last year. It proposed allocating them according to a complex formula.In a statement issued after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Francois Hollande's Socialist government confirmed that it backed such a scheme, "built around criteria that need thorough discussion", but insisted it could not accept "quotas".The term has been latched onto by anti-immigration groups as a sign that refugees are being imposed on France from outside.It was then taken up last weekend by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who said in a speech that France could never accept migrant quotas.
"FRANCE WILL TAKE ITS SHARE"
Various French media took this to mean that Paris opposed the scheme outright, but a French diplomat who declined to be named said Paris was merely trying to avoid a loaded term."Things are simple in substance but complicated in the semantics. The communication has been a bit clumsy," said the diplomat. "France will take its share."A second official said Paris was happy with the spirit of the Commission proposals but still had concerns on how the distribution would be calculated; the amount of refugees to be brought in for resettlement; and how those who were simply economic migrants could be quickly identified.A Commission spokeswoman in Brussels said a legislative proposal would be presented to governments by the end of the month.The plan will need the backing of at least 15 countries representing 65 percent of the bloc's population. Spain has raised objections, while Britain has said it will opt out.French officials say that France, Italy, Britain, Germany and Sweden between them handle three-quarters of all asylum applications on the continent.Ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to win National Front voters over to his conservative UMP with tough policies on national identity and immigration. Valls is also noted for strong rhetoric on crime and illegal immigration.National Front leader Marine Le Pen said Valls' "No quotas" speech was a smokescreen."Manuel Valls is being deliberately vague when he talks about a fairer distribution of foreigners washing up on Europe's shores - which is tantamount to an increase in the migratory burden already weighing on France," she said in a statement.(Additional reporting by Alastair Macdonald in Brussels; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

Poroshenko says Ukraine waging 'real war' with Russia-AFP By Dmitry Zaks-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Kiev (AFP) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sparked fresh Kremlin fury on Wednesday by warning that his crisis-torn country was fighting a "real war" against Russian aggressors that could escalate at any time.The pro-Western leader said the weekend capture of two purported Russian special forces members proved that the separatist uprising in the industrial east of Ukraine was a guise for a Moscow-orchestrated campaign aimed at breaking up his ex-Soviet state."This is not a fight with Russian-backed separatists, this is a real war with Russia," the 49-year-old Ukrainian leader told the BBC."The fact that we captured... Russian regular special forces soldiers (is) strong evidence of that."Ukraine's military on Tuesday showed off two wounded Russians who had been taken prisoner during a firefight in Lugansk -- a blue-collar region that together with neighbouring Donetsk revolted against Kiev's shift toward the West 13 months ago.The men testified during a taped interrogation that they entered the war zone nearly two months ago as part of a 200-strong reconnaissance unit from the Russian army's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).A Ukrainian Security Service spokesman said the suspects have been charged with involvement in "terrorist activity" and given a chance to phone their relatives back home.Moscow acknowledges the presence of Russian "volunteers" and off-duty servicemen in Ukraine but rejects charges that they are there under orders from President Vladimir Putin's generals.But two Russian opposition activists investigating the deaths of three other GRU members said they had found fresh graves that showed they died on active duty in Ukraine.Kiev's detention and display before world media on Tuesday of the two soldiers captured in Lugansk has outraged the Kremlin and threatened to cement Putin's resolve to keep Kiev within Moscow's orbit for years.Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said flatly that the "Kremlin does not agree" with what the Ukrainian leader told the BBC."First of all, one has to understand that unfortunately, Kiev is waging war against its own citizens," Russian news agencies quoted Peskov as saying."They are the ones coming under fire and they are the ones dying," said Peskov. "We should probably be talking about that first."The comments were followed a few hours later by a Ukrainian cabinet decision to suspend all sales of military and advanced aerospace equipment to Russia that began under the terms of a landmark agreement signed in 1993.Ukraine supplied Zenit rockets for Russia's lucrative commercial and strategic military satellite launches.It also built boosters that propelled Russian Proton cargo-hauling rockets to the International Space Station.
- Russia 'preparing an offensive' -
The United Nations believes the more than year-long conflict has claimed at least 6,250 lives and driven more than a million people from their homes.A second truce agreement Poroshenko struck with Putin with the help of the leaders of Germany and France in February has thus far failed to take complete hold.
Ukraine has lost at least eight servicemen since Monday in clashes across both of its renegade provinces.
Kiev blamed the violence on a new infusion of Russian troops, but agreed to hold a new round of ceasefire and political settlement talks with rebel representatives in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on Friday.Such talks have previously achieved little besides keeping all-out warfare from breaking out once again across the devastated region -- a possibility that Poroshenko said was all too real."I believe they are preparing an offensive and I think we should be ready," the Ukrainian president said.He added that he lacked "trust" in Putin but had no choice but to seek an understanding with the Kremlin strongman."I doubt the release of my territory (from Russian forces) could happen by military means," Poroshenko said.
IS enters Syria's Palmyra, threatening ancient site-AFP-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Damascus (AFP) - Islamic State group fighters recaptured the north of Syria's historic city of Palmyra Wednesday in another setback to efforts to repel the advancing jihadists after the fall of Iraq's Ramadi.
Palmyra's UNESCO-listed heritage site, including ancient temples and colonnaded streets, and its adjacent museum housing priceless artefacts, are in the city's southwest."The situation is very bad," said Syria's antiquities chief, Mamoun Abdulkarim."If only five members of IS go into the ancient buildings, they'll destroy everything," he added, calling for international action to save the city.The head of the UN cultural agency, Irina Bokova, demanded an immediate halt to fighting in Palmyra which was "putting at risk one of the most significant sites in the Middle East".Hundreds of statues and artefacts from Palmyra's museum have already been transferred out of the city, according to Abdulkarim, but many others -- including massive tombs -- could not be moved.It was the second time IS has overrun northern Palmyra, after it seized the same neighbourhoods on Saturday but held them for less than 24 hours.Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said IS had seized roughly "a third" of Palmyra.After fierce clashes on the city's edges, the jihadists entered the northern quarter on foot and seized a state security building before fanning out as regime forces fled."People are very afraid of what will happen, because IS has the capability to get to the heart of Palmyra," said Khaled al-Homsi, an activist in the city.
- 'Everything is possible' -
The jihadists sparked international outrage earlier this year when they blew up the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud and smashed artefacts in the Mosul museum.Asked if IS would be able to reach Palmyra's ruins, a Syrian military source said "everything is possible in urban warfare".The source acknowledged the jihadists had infiltrated northern neighbourhoods and said they were engaged in "street fighting".Mohammad Hassan Homsi, another activist originally from Palmyra, said the fleeing regime soldiers "headed to the military intelligence headquarters near the ruins".In neighbouring Iraq, fighting subsided three days after IS took control of Ramadi, just 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of the capital.The jihadists' capture of the city was their most significant victory since mid-2014 when they conquered swathes of land, sparking a US-led air campaign to support Baghdad.The United States says it is now considering accelerating the training and equipping of tribal forces to fight IS following Ramadi's fall.Besides the more than 3,000 air strikes carried out so far, Washington has supported a deep reform of Iraq's army and offered training to Sunni tribesmen to reclaim their own provinces.But that failed to prevent the loss of Ramadi, where militias backed by US arch-foe Iran will now take the lead in any counter-attack and reinforce their influence in Iraq.US President Barack Obama huddled Tuesday with his national security team but signalled no change of tack, despite mounting calls for a more decisive approach."There is no formal strategy review," National Security Council spokesman Alistair Baskey told AFP after the meeting.
- Planning Ramadi fightback -
"We are looking at how best to support local ground forces in Anbar," he said, "including accelerating the training and equipping of local tribes and supporting an Iraqi-led operation to retake Ramadi."However there was no suggestion weapons would be sent directly to tribes in Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, instead of via the central government in Baghdad.On Wednesday, there were no reports of major fighting as senior Iraqi officers said the anti-IS camp needed time to plan and coordinate its operations.
When Ramadi fell, separate militias announced they were rushing forces to the area and blamed the government for making that decision a month too late.During a visit to Baghdad, Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan stressed Tehran's commitment to Iraqi unity but also emphasised Iran's role in the fight against IS.According to officials from Anbar, at least 500 people were killed in three days of fighting in Ramadi during which IS used waves of suicide car bombs.The army's retreat was chaotic, once again raising questions over the credibility of Iraq's regular forces.At least 40,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the process, and many were left stranded at a bridge separating Anbar from the Baghdad governorate.The UN appealed for increased assistance to those displaced by the violence.
Canada arrests 10 suspected of heading to join militants in Mideast-Reuters By Allison Lampert-MAY 20,15-YAHOONEWS
MONTREAL (Reuters) - Canadian police arrested 10 young people from Montreal who they suspect wanted to leave the country to join militant groups in the Middle East, officials said on Wednesday.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the 10 were detained last weekend in a series of arrests at Montreal's international airport. No charges have been laid and police declined to give any details about the people."We have reason to believe that the young Montrealers wanted to travel abroad to join jihadist groups," said RCMP spokesman Constable Erique Gasse.Police said the passports of all 10 were confiscated.Montreal is the largest city in the French-speaking province of Quebec and Canada, like other western nations, is trying to stem the flow of disaffected, mostly young Muslims, who want to join groups such as Islamic State.Six Canadian teens aged 18 to 19 disappeared from Quebec in January and February and are believed to have traveled to join Islamic State militants.French-language public broadcaster Radio-Canada said that some of the people arrested last weekend had wanted to fly to Syria via Turkey. It did not identify its sources. Police had been alerted by family members, the report said.Radio-Canada cited a lawyer for one detainee as saying the youth had been recruited over the Internet by someone promising "a better life".Last month, Canada's spy agency said the number of Canadians leaving to join militant groups in Iraq and Syria had increased 50 percent in the past few months.Canada's Conservative government introduced tough new legislation aimed at giving more powers to police and security agencies, enabling them to stop people trying to leave to join militant groups.Canada last year sent 70 special forces troops to help train Iraqi soldiers fight Islamic State, which took over swathes of Iraq and Syria last year. Six Canadian jets are taking part in U.S.-led bombing attacks against the group in both Iraq and Syria."We will not sit on the sidelines but instead join our allies to degrade and defeat (Islamic State)," Public Safety Minister Stephen Blaney said in a statement on the weekend's arrests.(Reporting by Allison Lampert, writing by David Ljunggren; Editing by Grant McCool)
