U.S. asks Greece to deny Russian flights to Syria-Reuters By Renee Maltezou, Tom Perry and Lidia Kelly-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
ATHENS/BEIRUT/MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States has asked Greece to deny Russia the use of its airspace for supply flights to Syria, a Greek official said on Monday, after Washington told Moscow it was deeply concerned by reports of a Russian military build up in Syria.The Greek foreign ministry said the request was being examined. Russian newswire RIA Novosti earlier said Greece had refused the U.S. request, adding that Russia was seeking permission to run the flights up to Sept. 24.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would not give any official reaction until there was a decision from Athens. Russia, which has a naval maintenance facility in the Syrian port of Tartous, has sent regular flights to Latakia, which it has also used to bring home Russian nationals who want to leave.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Saturday that if reports of the build-up were accurate, that could further escalate the war and risk confrontation with the U.S.-led alliance that is bombing Islamic State in Syria.Lavrov told Kerry it was premature to talk about Russia's participation in military operations in Syria, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman told RIA Novosti on Monday.Lavrov confirmed Russia had always provided supplies of military equipment to Syria, saying Moscow "has never concealed that it delivers military equipment to official Syrian authorities with the aim of combating terrorism".Russia has been a vital ally of President Bashar al-Assad throughout the war that has fractured Syria into a patchwork of areas controlled by rival armed groups, including Islamic State, leaving the government in control of much of the west.Foreign states are already deeply involved in the war that has killed a quarter of a million people. While Russia and Iran have backed Assad, rebel groups seeking to oust him have received support from governments including the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.The Syrian army and allied militia have lost significant amounts of territory to insurgents this year. Assad said in July the Syrian army faced a manpower problem.Russia has been trying to build a wide coalition including Damascus to fight Islamic State, which was reported on Monday to have captured an oil field from government forces near the city of Palmyra.But the idea has been rejected by enemies including the United States and Saudi Arabia, who see Assad as part of the problem.A senior U.S. official told Reuters on Saturday that U.S. authorities have detected "worrisome preparatory steps," including transport of prefabricated housing units for hundreds of people to a Syrian airfield, that could signal that Russia is preparing to deploy heavy military assets there.The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Moscow's exact intentions remained unclear but that Kerry called Lavrov to leave no doubt about the U.S. position.A Syrian military official has said Syrian-Russian military relations have witnessed a "big shift" in recent weeks.ENLARGING RUNWAYS IN THE NORTH-The United States and Turkey are planning to open a new front against Islamic State in an area of northern Syria near the border with Turkey. They aim to drive the jihadists from the area with the help of rebels on the ground.A Lebanese newspaper reported on Monday that Russian military experts who arrived in Syria weeks ago have been inspecting air bases and working to enlarge some runways, particularly in the north, though Moscow had yet to meet a Syrian request for attack helicopters.As-Safir, citing a Syrian source, said there had been "no fundamental change" in Russian forces on the ground in Syria, saying they were "still operating in the framework of experts, advisers, and trainers".As-Safir said the Russians had "started moving towards a qualitative initiative in the armament relationship for the first time since the start of the war on Syria, with a team of Russian experts beginning to inspect Syrian military airports weeks ago, and they are working to expand some of their runways, particularly in the north of Syria."The newspaper, which is well-connected in Damascus, said nothing had been decided about "the nature of the weapons that Damascus might receive, though the Syrians asked to be supplied with more than 20 Russian attack helicopters, of the Mi-28 type".French President Francois Hollande, who announced on Monday France would begin reconnaissance missions over Syria, said it was important to talk to all countries that support a political transition in Syria, including Russia.When asked to comment on the reports of Russian military aid to Syria, he said:"Russia is an ally of the regime, but it doesn't mean that Russia is an unwavering supporter of Bashar al-Assad. We will have discussions. What Russia wants is to also find a solution."Germany also voiced concern on Monday about reports that Russia was moving toward a military build-up in Syria.A Syrian military official declined to comment on the details of As-Safir's report, but reiterated previous comments that Syrian-Russian military ties had witnessed a "big shift" in recent weeks.The official said the Russian shift was prompted by the danger represented by Islamic State and other groups fighting the Syrian state."It is obvious that the Russians will be more resolute in dealing with this situation. This forms a danger to the allies of Russia," the official said.(Additional reporting by John Irish in Paris, Sylvia Westall in Beirut, Gabriela Baczynska in Moscow,; Editing by Janet McBride and Giles Elgood)
Russia dismisses US concerns over Syria military build-up-AFP By Olga Rotenberg-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Moscow (AFP) - Moscow on Monday dismissed US concern of a Russian military build-up in Syria, saying its military aid to Bashar al-Assad was nothing out of the ordinary.Over the weekend US Secretary of State John Kerry phoned his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to express concern about reports of an "enhanced Russian build-up" in Syria."The Russian side has never concealed the fact that it is sending military equipment to the Syrian authorities to help them fight terrorism," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told AFP, commenting on the Kerry-Lavrov phone talks."Lavrov confirmed that such aid has always been provided and is being provided."Citing US administration officials, The New York Times reported last week that Russia had sent a military advance team to its ally Syria and was taking other steps that Washington fears may signal plans to vastly expand military support for the beleaguered Assad. Zakharova said she was not aware of the alleged Russian military build-up in Syria.President Vladimir Putin said Friday it was premature to talk about Russia taking part in military operations against the Islamic State jihadist group.A prominent Russian blogger suggested over the weekend that Moscow was apparently building up its military presence in Syria to help prop up Assad.The blogger Ruslan Leviyev -- known for his investigations into Russian military activity in Ukraine -- referred to widely-circulated footage from Syria apparently showing a Russian-made BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier as well as reports on social networks that Russian paratroopers have been dispatched to Syria.Moscow has denied sending regular troops to prop up separatist rebels in Ukraine, leaving activists and journalists to trawl through social networks for evidence of the Russian military presence abroad.Liberal lawmaker Dmitry Gudkov on Monday said he sent a formal enquiry to Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, asking whether Russian troops are fighting in Syria, and if so, whether any have died or been wounded."I'm doubtful that the Sunnis, the Shias and Alawites of the Middle East should be dearer to Russia than its own citizens," he wrote on Facebook.
Much work remains to detail past Iranian nuclear program: U.N. watchdog-Reuters-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
VIENNA (Reuters) - It will take a lot of work to determine by the end of the year whether Iran was previously developing nuclear weapons, the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said on Monday.Alongside the July 14 political agreement with six world powers world powers, Iran reached a roadmap accord with the International Atomic Energy Agency which requires Tehran to pass on enough information about its past nuclear program to allow the U.N. body to report on the issue by December."With regard to clarification of PMD, much work needs to be done," Yukiya Amano, IAEA director general, told a news conference, referring to the term "possible military dimensions".The assessment is a vital part of the deal between Iran and the six powers -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China -- to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for a lifting of international sanctions.Iran provided the IAEA on Aug. 15 with documents and explanations in writing related to "past and present outstanding issues", Amano told a meeting of his agency's board of governors on Monday, according to the text of his speech.The agency was reviewing the information and would send questions to Iran on Sept. 15, he said."I do not have a particular concern that we will not be able to complete our assessment by the 15th of December," Amano said.(Reporting by Francois Murphy; Editing by Michael Shields; Editing by Toby Chopra)
German intelligence has evidence IS used mustard gas in Iraq-Associated Press-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN (AP) — Germany's foreign intelligence agency BND has collected evidence of mustard gas use by the Islamic State group.German daily Bild reported Monday that BND intelligence agents collected blood samples from Kurds who were injured in clashes with IS.It quoted BND chief Gerhard Schindler as saying that the agency has "information that IS used mustard gas in northern Iraq."Schindler told the paper that the mustard gas either came from old Iraqi stockpiles produced under Saddam Hussein's rule or was manufactured by IS after it seized the University of Mosul.A senior German intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly, confirmed the comments attributed to Schindler. He declined to confirm that the BND collected blood samples or discuss the agency's methods.U.S. Defense Department spokeswoman Cmdr. Elissa Smith said "while we will not comment on intelligence or operational matters, let us be clear: any use by any party ... of a chemical as a weapon of any kind is an abhorrent act."Given the alleged behavior of ISIL and other such groups in the region, any such flagrant disregard for international standards and norms is reprehensible," Smith said, using an alternative name for the militant group.Activists said last month that IS attacked the northern Syrian town of Marea with poisonous gas although it was not clear if chemical weapons were used.Doctors Without Borders said that four patients exhibiting symptoms of exposure to chemical agents were treated at a hospital run by international medical organization in northern Syria on Aug. 21. It said the parents and their two daughters, arrived at a hospital run by the group one hour after the attack, suffering from respiratory difficulties, inflamed skin, red eyes, and conjunctivitis and their conditions worsened later.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Turkey-based activist Abu al-Hassan Marea said it wasn't independently confirmed if the attack was with chemical agents.___Associated Press writers Will Lester in Washington, and Bassem Mroue in Beirut, contributed to this report.
Hit by new wave of refugees, Germany warns EU partners-Reuters By Paul Carrel and Georgina Prodhan-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN/MUNICH (Reuters) - Struggling to cope with record numbers of asylum seekers, Germany told its European partners on Monday they too must take in more refugees, as police in Hungary used pepper spray on desperate migrants who broke out of a reception center at the border.Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking after a weekend in which 20,000 migrants entered Germany from Hungary by train, bus and on foot, described the influx as "breathtaking" and tried to reassure German citizens that the crisis was manageable."I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope," she said at a news conference in Berlin.But she and her vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, coupled their message of optimism with a warning to European Union partners who have resisted a push from Berlin, Paris and Brussels to agree quotas for refugees flowing in mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan."What isn't acceptable in my view is that some people are saying this has nothing to do with them," Merkel said. "This won't work in the long run. There will be consequences although we don't want that."Gabriel said that if countries in eastern Europe and elsewhere continued to resist accepting their fair share of refugees, the bloc's open border regime, known as Schengen, would be at risk."This would be a dramatic political blow for Europe, but also a heavy economic blow, also for those countries that are saying they don't want to help now," he said.At Roszke, on Hungary's border with Serbia, around 300 migrants broke through a cordon around a reception camp and set off down the wrong side of the motorway towards the capital Budapest, Reuters witnesses said.Police were unable to prevent their escape despite using pepper spray as migrants scuffled with officers.Only months after Europe narrowly averted a Greek exit from the euro zone, the refugee crisis has emerged as the bloc's biggest challenge.European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is due to unveil new proposals on Wednesday on how to distribute refugees among member states.An EU source told Reuters that under his plan, Germany would take on more than 40,000 and France 30,000 of the 160,000 asylum seekers the Commission says need to be relocated from Italy, Greece and Hungary, the main entry points to the EU for refugees arriving by sea and land.The 160,000 that Juncker wants to redistribute within the EU are just a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of refugees and economic migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East who have reached Europe this year on leaky boats across the Mediterranean or over land through the Balkan peninsula.Germany has announced it is letting Syrians seek asylum regardless of where they enter the EU, suspending normal rules and accelerating a flow of migrants north and west from the edges of the bloc.Just last month, more than 100,000 asylum seekers reached Germany, which is preparing for 800,000 this year, around one percent of its population, a move with little precedent for a large Western country.France said it would take in up to 1,000 migrants currently in Germany as a matter of urgency, before the adoption of the European Commission plan.Britain would resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years, Prime Minister David Cameron announced, responding to a growing public clamor for his government to do more to help.Dramatic images from last week, especially a photograph of a Syrian toddler drowned on a Turkish beach, have created new political pressure to open doors, even in countries that argued previously that taking in too many migrants could make the problem worse by encouraging others to make dangerous voyages.Pope Francis called over the weekend for Christian communities across the continent to offer sanctuary.Hungary's prime minister Viktor Orban, a right-wing populist whose hard line during the crisis has drawn both praise and criticism, reiterated his opposition to quotas on Monday, calling this debate premature. Juncker's proposal would exempt the main entry countries Hungary, Greece and Italy from taking relocated refugees."As long as Europe cannot protect its external borders it makes no sense to discuss the fate of those flowing in," Orban said, defending a planned package of laws that would allow the army to be deployed to defend Hungary's southern border. Hungary's defense minister, Hende Csaba, resigned because the armed forces were being too slow in building a border fence to keep out refugees and migrants.PREFERRED DESTINATION-Rich and welcoming Germany has become the preferred destination for most migrants.Other countries have resisted taking in refugees, with Poland arguing that it is already burdened by an influx of people from Ukraine, and Slovakia saying it preferred to accept Christians.Officials in Bavaria, the southern German state that has become the entry point for migrants arriving from Hungary via Austria, said about 4,400 had arrived in Munich on Monday. Another 1,500 were on trains heading on to cities elsewhere in Germany.German and Austrian officials appear to have been caught off guard by the numbers."It has now reached a volume that is already considerable," Christoph Hillenbrand, president of the government of Upper Bavaria, told reporters at Munich train station.He said buses that could take 1,000 people north to cities like Dortmund, Hamburg, Braunschweig and Kiel had been made available, but that migrants had also been streaming out of temporary accommodation facilities on foot.At Munich's international trade fair grounds, three halls have been given over to the effort, with more than 2,000 camp beds and a dining hall with hot food.The few rucksacks and plastic bags the travelers had arrived with were scattered between the beds. Some children kicked a soccer ball around outside.For the families it's too hard. For the single guys I think it's good to come. If somebody has some money or a passport for a visa, it's better," said Hassan Halabi from Aleppo in Syria, who hopes to go to Konstanz on the Swiss border.Merkel's welcome to migrants has been praised by human rights groups. But there were signs of dissent within her conservative camp, with officials from the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), sister party of her Christian Democrats, criticizing her handling of the crisis."There is no society that could cope with something like this," CSU leader and Bavarian premier Horst Seehofer said. "The federal government needs a plan here."While many Germans have welcomed the refugees, there have also been attacks on shelters, including two early on Monday.Leading members of Merkel's governing coalition have agreed to find six billion euros to pay for the influx.They also agreed to speed up asylum decisions, reduce cash benefits for first arrivals, and to widen the list of countries deemed "safe" -- meaning their citizens generally have no claim to asylum -- to include all Balkan states."We should not pretend that this is a small task," Gabriel said. "We need to be realistic. We can take on 800,000 asylum seekers this year, find homes for them and help them integrate. But it should also be clear to everyone that this can't continue every year. We need a new European asylum policy."(Additional reporting by Caroline Copley, Michael Nienaber, Michelle Martin, Angelika Gruber, Thorsten Severin, Holger Hansen, Hans-Edzard Busemann, Andreas Rinke, Ayhan Uyanik, Michael Shields, Thomas Escritt, Michel Rose, Franceso Guarascio, Alastair Macdonald; Writing by Noah Barkin; Editing by Peter Graff and Giles Elgood)

Hurricane Linda strengthens off Mexico's Pacific coast-AFP-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Mexico City (AFP) - Hurricane Linda strengthened to a Category 2 storm off the northwest Mexican coast Monday as it packed winds of up to 155 kilometers per hour, forecasters said.Linda was located 635 kilometers to the south-southwest of the resort of Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula at 1500 GMT, the National Weather Service said.Moving to the northwest at 22 kilometers per hour, it was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 195 kilometers per hour, according to the NWS, making it a Category 2 storm on the five-point Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.Authorities warned that the hurricane -- upgraded from a tropical storm Sunday -- could cause very heavy downpours in the states of Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Nayarit and Jalisco and urged the local population to exercise caution.
Climate pact hinges on finance: conference host France-AFP By Mariette Le Roux-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Paris (AFP) - Forging a global climate pact hinges on rich nations making firm financial commitments, French President Francois Hollande said Monday, warning of "risks of failure" for a year-end Paris conference." There will be no agreement... if there is no firm commitment on finance" for developing nations, he said as ministers and diplomats from 57 countries met elsewhere in the French capital to discuss exactly this issue.The November 30-December 11 UN conference is tasked with sealing a universal deal to roll back the threat of climate change.But without an accord on finance, "countries will refuse, emerging economies... and they are right," the president told journalists.Finance is a major stumbling block in the fraught, years-long UN effort to conclude a pact committing all the world's nations to curbing climate-altering greenhouse gases.The overarching goal is to limit average global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels -- the threshold at which scientists say we can still avoid worst-case-scenario climate effects.Hollande addressed a press conference as foreign and environment ministers and senior officials concluded two days of talks on the finance question.Funding is the key to help developing countries shift to greener energy, adapt to a climate-altered world and deal with the loss and damages they will suffer from rising seas, droughts, storms and other impacts.Poor and developing nations, among the most threatened by global warming, are insisting rich counterparts show how they intend to meet a promise made in 2009 of $100 billion (90 billion euros) in climate finance annually from 2020.At the end of the informal ministerial meeting, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius insisted the $100 billion commitment "must be respected."In a bid to "give credibility to the process," he said, France and Peru, which hosted last year's climate conference, had asked the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a coordinating forum on economic matters, to provide clarity on how the figure will be fleshed out."It will tell us what is being done on climate by governments... by multilateral banks, by the private sector," the minister said."This will naturally allow us to determine a trend, to see whether we are on track vis-a-vis the target of $100 billion in 2020, or if there are additional efforts to be made."The ministerial talks were not part of official negotiations for the highly-anticipated agreement, but are meant to inject momentum into the troubled UN process.- Everything turns on finance -On Friday, a five-day round of official text- drafting negotiations closed in Bonn with diplomats expressing frustration at their own lagging progress.They will meet again in the former West German capital from October 19 to 23 to work on the unwieldy blueprint -- currently an 83-page laundry list of contradicting country options for dealing with the problem."Everything will turn on the question of finance," Hollande said Monday, and warned that the way things stand: "There are risks of failure."Janos Pasztor, assistant UN secretary general on climate, agreed at a conference elsewhere in Paris that: "Financing is absolutely key.""$100 billion is not that much when we want to change the whole world into a no-carbon future," he said. "For that we need trillions" -- and the bulk will have to come from the private sector.Observers are hopeful that a string of climate-themed meetings in the coming weeks and months will boost the process, bogged down in fights over procedure and ideology.A meeting of the UN General Assembly later this month, said Hollande, would be a "major" step on the road to Paris, as would a joint International Monetary Fund-World Bank meeting in Lima in October.And he announced he would travel to China in November, to "launch an appeal for the success of the climate conference" with President Xi Jinping."If we don’t conclude an agreement... it's not hundreds of thousands of refugees that we’ll have to deal with in the next 20 or 30 years, it's millions," Hollande said as Europe struggled to deal with an influx of migrants, mainly from war-torn Syria.

U.S. asks Greece to deny Russian flights to Syria-Reuters By Renee Maltezou, Tom Perry and Lidia Kelly-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
ATHENS/BEIRUT/MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States has asked Greece to deny Russia the use of its airspace for supply flights to Syria, a Greek official said on Monday, after Washington told Moscow it was deeply concerned by reports of a Russian military build up in Syria.The Greek foreign ministry said the request was being examined. Russian newswire RIA Novosti earlier said Greece had refused the U.S. request, adding that Russia was seeking permission to run the flights up to Sept. 24.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would not give any official reaction until there was a decision from Athens. Russia, which has a naval maintenance facility in the Syrian port of Tartous, has sent regular flights to Latakia, which it has also used to bring home Russian nationals who want to leave.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Saturday that if reports of the build-up were accurate, that could further escalate the war and risk confrontation with the U.S.-led alliance that is bombing Islamic State in Syria.Lavrov told Kerry it was premature to talk about Russia's participation in military operations in Syria, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman told RIA Novosti on Monday.Lavrov confirmed Russia had always provided supplies of military equipment to Syria, saying Moscow "has never concealed that it delivers military equipment to official Syrian authorities with the aim of combating terrorism".Russia has been a vital ally of President Bashar al-Assad throughout the war that has fractured Syria into a patchwork of areas controlled by rival armed groups, including Islamic State, leaving the government in control of much of the west.Foreign states are already deeply involved in the war that has killed a quarter of a million people. While Russia and Iran have backed Assad, rebel groups seeking to oust him have received support from governments including the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.The Syrian army and allied militia have lost significant amounts of territory to insurgents this year. Assad said in July the Syrian army faced a manpower problem.Russia has been trying to build a wide coalition including Damascus to fight Islamic State, which was reported on Monday to have captured an oil field from government forces near the city of Palmyra.But the idea has been rejected by enemies including the United States and Saudi Arabia, who see Assad as part of the problem.A senior U.S. official told Reuters on Saturday that U.S. authorities have detected "worrisome preparatory steps," including transport of prefabricated housing units for hundreds of people to a Syrian airfield, that could signal that Russia is preparing to deploy heavy military assets there.The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Moscow's exact intentions remained unclear but that Kerry called Lavrov to leave no doubt about the U.S. position.A Syrian military official has said Syrian-Russian military relations have witnessed a "big shift" in recent weeks.ENLARGING RUNWAYS IN THE NORTH-The United States and Turkey are planning to open a new front against Islamic State in an area of northern Syria near the border with Turkey. They aim to drive the jihadists from the area with the help of rebels on the ground.A Lebanese newspaper reported on Monday that Russian military experts who arrived in Syria weeks ago have been inspecting air bases and working to enlarge some runways, particularly in the north, though Moscow had yet to meet a Syrian request for attack helicopters.As-Safir, citing a Syrian source, said there had been "no fundamental change" in Russian forces on the ground in Syria, saying they were "still operating in the framework of experts, advisers, and trainers".As-Safir said the Russians had "started moving towards a qualitative initiative in the armament relationship for the first time since the start of the war on Syria, with a team of Russian experts beginning to inspect Syrian military airports weeks ago, and they are working to expand some of their runways, particularly in the north of Syria."The newspaper, which is well-connected in Damascus, said nothing had been decided about "the nature of the weapons that Damascus might receive, though the Syrians asked to be supplied with more than 20 Russian attack helicopters, of the Mi-28 type".French President Francois Hollande, who announced on Monday France would begin reconnaissance missions over Syria, said it was important to talk to all countries that support a political transition in Syria, including Russia.When asked to comment on the reports of Russian military aid to Syria, he said:"Russia is an ally of the regime, but it doesn't mean that Russia is an unwavering supporter of Bashar al-Assad. We will have discussions. What Russia wants is to also find a solution."Germany also voiced concern on Monday about reports that Russia was moving toward a military build-up in Syria.A Syrian military official declined to comment on the details of As-Safir's report, but reiterated previous comments that Syrian-Russian military ties had witnessed a "big shift" in recent weeks.The official said the Russian shift was prompted by the danger represented by Islamic State and other groups fighting the Syrian state."It is obvious that the Russians will be more resolute in dealing with this situation. This forms a danger to the allies of Russia," the official said.(Additional reporting by John Irish in Paris, Sylvia Westall in Beirut, Gabriela Baczynska in Moscow,; Editing by Janet McBride and Giles Elgood)
Russia dismisses US concerns over Syria military build-up-AFP By Olga Rotenberg-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Moscow (AFP) - Moscow on Monday dismissed US concern of a Russian military build-up in Syria, saying its military aid to Bashar al-Assad was nothing out of the ordinary.Over the weekend US Secretary of State John Kerry phoned his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to express concern about reports of an "enhanced Russian build-up" in Syria."The Russian side has never concealed the fact that it is sending military equipment to the Syrian authorities to help them fight terrorism," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told AFP, commenting on the Kerry-Lavrov phone talks."Lavrov confirmed that such aid has always been provided and is being provided."Citing US administration officials, The New York Times reported last week that Russia had sent a military advance team to its ally Syria and was taking other steps that Washington fears may signal plans to vastly expand military support for the beleaguered Assad. Zakharova said she was not aware of the alleged Russian military build-up in Syria.President Vladimir Putin said Friday it was premature to talk about Russia taking part in military operations against the Islamic State jihadist group.A prominent Russian blogger suggested over the weekend that Moscow was apparently building up its military presence in Syria to help prop up Assad.The blogger Ruslan Leviyev -- known for his investigations into Russian military activity in Ukraine -- referred to widely-circulated footage from Syria apparently showing a Russian-made BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier as well as reports on social networks that Russian paratroopers have been dispatched to Syria.Moscow has denied sending regular troops to prop up separatist rebels in Ukraine, leaving activists and journalists to trawl through social networks for evidence of the Russian military presence abroad.Liberal lawmaker Dmitry Gudkov on Monday said he sent a formal enquiry to Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, asking whether Russian troops are fighting in Syria, and if so, whether any have died or been wounded."I'm doubtful that the Sunnis, the Shias and Alawites of the Middle East should be dearer to Russia than its own citizens," he wrote on Facebook.
Much work remains to detail past Iranian nuclear program: U.N. watchdog-Reuters-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
VIENNA (Reuters) - It will take a lot of work to determine by the end of the year whether Iran was previously developing nuclear weapons, the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said on Monday.Alongside the July 14 political agreement with six world powers world powers, Iran reached a roadmap accord with the International Atomic Energy Agency which requires Tehran to pass on enough information about its past nuclear program to allow the U.N. body to report on the issue by December."With regard to clarification of PMD, much work needs to be done," Yukiya Amano, IAEA director general, told a news conference, referring to the term "possible military dimensions".The assessment is a vital part of the deal between Iran and the six powers -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China -- to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for a lifting of international sanctions.Iran provided the IAEA on Aug. 15 with documents and explanations in writing related to "past and present outstanding issues", Amano told a meeting of his agency's board of governors on Monday, according to the text of his speech.The agency was reviewing the information and would send questions to Iran on Sept. 15, he said."I do not have a particular concern that we will not be able to complete our assessment by the 15th of December," Amano said.(Reporting by Francois Murphy; Editing by Michael Shields; Editing by Toby Chopra)
German intelligence has evidence IS used mustard gas in Iraq-Associated Press-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN (AP) — Germany's foreign intelligence agency BND has collected evidence of mustard gas use by the Islamic State group.German daily Bild reported Monday that BND intelligence agents collected blood samples from Kurds who were injured in clashes with IS.It quoted BND chief Gerhard Schindler as saying that the agency has "information that IS used mustard gas in northern Iraq."Schindler told the paper that the mustard gas either came from old Iraqi stockpiles produced under Saddam Hussein's rule or was manufactured by IS after it seized the University of Mosul.A senior German intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly, confirmed the comments attributed to Schindler. He declined to confirm that the BND collected blood samples or discuss the agency's methods.U.S. Defense Department spokeswoman Cmdr. Elissa Smith said "while we will not comment on intelligence or operational matters, let us be clear: any use by any party ... of a chemical as a weapon of any kind is an abhorrent act."Given the alleged behavior of ISIL and other such groups in the region, any such flagrant disregard for international standards and norms is reprehensible," Smith said, using an alternative name for the militant group.Activists said last month that IS attacked the northern Syrian town of Marea with poisonous gas although it was not clear if chemical weapons were used.Doctors Without Borders said that four patients exhibiting symptoms of exposure to chemical agents were treated at a hospital run by international medical organization in northern Syria on Aug. 21. It said the parents and their two daughters, arrived at a hospital run by the group one hour after the attack, suffering from respiratory difficulties, inflamed skin, red eyes, and conjunctivitis and their conditions worsened later.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Turkey-based activist Abu al-Hassan Marea said it wasn't independently confirmed if the attack was with chemical agents.___Associated Press writers Will Lester in Washington, and Bassem Mroue in Beirut, contributed to this report.
Hit by new wave of refugees, Germany warns EU partners-Reuters By Paul Carrel and Georgina Prodhan-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BERLIN/MUNICH (Reuters) - Struggling to cope with record numbers of asylum seekers, Germany told its European partners on Monday they too must take in more refugees, as police in Hungary used pepper spray on desperate migrants who broke out of a reception center at the border.Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking after a weekend in which 20,000 migrants entered Germany from Hungary by train, bus and on foot, described the influx as "breathtaking" and tried to reassure German citizens that the crisis was manageable."I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope," she said at a news conference in Berlin.But she and her vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, coupled their message of optimism with a warning to European Union partners who have resisted a push from Berlin, Paris and Brussels to agree quotas for refugees flowing in mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan."What isn't acceptable in my view is that some people are saying this has nothing to do with them," Merkel said. "This won't work in the long run. There will be consequences although we don't want that."Gabriel said that if countries in eastern Europe and elsewhere continued to resist accepting their fair share of refugees, the bloc's open border regime, known as Schengen, would be at risk."This would be a dramatic political blow for Europe, but also a heavy economic blow, also for those countries that are saying they don't want to help now," he said.At Roszke, on Hungary's border with Serbia, around 300 migrants broke through a cordon around a reception camp and set off down the wrong side of the motorway towards the capital Budapest, Reuters witnesses said.Police were unable to prevent their escape despite using pepper spray as migrants scuffled with officers.Only months after Europe narrowly averted a Greek exit from the euro zone, the refugee crisis has emerged as the bloc's biggest challenge.European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is due to unveil new proposals on Wednesday on how to distribute refugees among member states.An EU source told Reuters that under his plan, Germany would take on more than 40,000 and France 30,000 of the 160,000 asylum seekers the Commission says need to be relocated from Italy, Greece and Hungary, the main entry points to the EU for refugees arriving by sea and land.The 160,000 that Juncker wants to redistribute within the EU are just a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of refugees and economic migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East who have reached Europe this year on leaky boats across the Mediterranean or over land through the Balkan peninsula.Germany has announced it is letting Syrians seek asylum regardless of where they enter the EU, suspending normal rules and accelerating a flow of migrants north and west from the edges of the bloc.Just last month, more than 100,000 asylum seekers reached Germany, which is preparing for 800,000 this year, around one percent of its population, a move with little precedent for a large Western country.France said it would take in up to 1,000 migrants currently in Germany as a matter of urgency, before the adoption of the European Commission plan.Britain would resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years, Prime Minister David Cameron announced, responding to a growing public clamor for his government to do more to help.Dramatic images from last week, especially a photograph of a Syrian toddler drowned on a Turkish beach, have created new political pressure to open doors, even in countries that argued previously that taking in too many migrants could make the problem worse by encouraging others to make dangerous voyages.Pope Francis called over the weekend for Christian communities across the continent to offer sanctuary.Hungary's prime minister Viktor Orban, a right-wing populist whose hard line during the crisis has drawn both praise and criticism, reiterated his opposition to quotas on Monday, calling this debate premature. Juncker's proposal would exempt the main entry countries Hungary, Greece and Italy from taking relocated refugees."As long as Europe cannot protect its external borders it makes no sense to discuss the fate of those flowing in," Orban said, defending a planned package of laws that would allow the army to be deployed to defend Hungary's southern border. Hungary's defense minister, Hende Csaba, resigned because the armed forces were being too slow in building a border fence to keep out refugees and migrants.PREFERRED DESTINATION-Rich and welcoming Germany has become the preferred destination for most migrants.Other countries have resisted taking in refugees, with Poland arguing that it is already burdened by an influx of people from Ukraine, and Slovakia saying it preferred to accept Christians.Officials in Bavaria, the southern German state that has become the entry point for migrants arriving from Hungary via Austria, said about 4,400 had arrived in Munich on Monday. Another 1,500 were on trains heading on to cities elsewhere in Germany.German and Austrian officials appear to have been caught off guard by the numbers."It has now reached a volume that is already considerable," Christoph Hillenbrand, president of the government of Upper Bavaria, told reporters at Munich train station.He said buses that could take 1,000 people north to cities like Dortmund, Hamburg, Braunschweig and Kiel had been made available, but that migrants had also been streaming out of temporary accommodation facilities on foot.At Munich's international trade fair grounds, three halls have been given over to the effort, with more than 2,000 camp beds and a dining hall with hot food.The few rucksacks and plastic bags the travelers had arrived with were scattered between the beds. Some children kicked a soccer ball around outside.For the families it's too hard. For the single guys I think it's good to come. If somebody has some money or a passport for a visa, it's better," said Hassan Halabi from Aleppo in Syria, who hopes to go to Konstanz on the Swiss border.Merkel's welcome to migrants has been praised by human rights groups. But there were signs of dissent within her conservative camp, with officials from the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU), sister party of her Christian Democrats, criticizing her handling of the crisis."There is no society that could cope with something like this," CSU leader and Bavarian premier Horst Seehofer said. "The federal government needs a plan here."While many Germans have welcomed the refugees, there have also been attacks on shelters, including two early on Monday.Leading members of Merkel's governing coalition have agreed to find six billion euros to pay for the influx.They also agreed to speed up asylum decisions, reduce cash benefits for first arrivals, and to widen the list of countries deemed "safe" -- meaning their citizens generally have no claim to asylum -- to include all Balkan states."We should not pretend that this is a small task," Gabriel said. "We need to be realistic. We can take on 800,000 asylum seekers this year, find homes for them and help them integrate. But it should also be clear to everyone that this can't continue every year. We need a new European asylum policy."(Additional reporting by Caroline Copley, Michael Nienaber, Michelle Martin, Angelika Gruber, Thorsten Severin, Holger Hansen, Hans-Edzard Busemann, Andreas Rinke, Ayhan Uyanik, Michael Shields, Thomas Escritt, Michel Rose, Franceso Guarascio, Alastair Macdonald; Writing by Noah Barkin; Editing by Peter Graff and Giles Elgood)

Hurricane Linda strengthens off Mexico's Pacific coast-AFP-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Mexico City (AFP) - Hurricane Linda strengthened to a Category 2 storm off the northwest Mexican coast Monday as it packed winds of up to 155 kilometers per hour, forecasters said.Linda was located 635 kilometers to the south-southwest of the resort of Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula at 1500 GMT, the National Weather Service said.Moving to the northwest at 22 kilometers per hour, it was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 195 kilometers per hour, according to the NWS, making it a Category 2 storm on the five-point Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.Authorities warned that the hurricane -- upgraded from a tropical storm Sunday -- could cause very heavy downpours in the states of Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Nayarit and Jalisco and urged the local population to exercise caution.
Climate pact hinges on finance: conference host France-AFP By Mariette Le Roux-SEPT 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Paris (AFP) - Forging a global climate pact hinges on rich nations making firm financial commitments, French President Francois Hollande said Monday, warning of "risks of failure" for a year-end Paris conference." There will be no agreement... if there is no firm commitment on finance" for developing nations, he said as ministers and diplomats from 57 countries met elsewhere in the French capital to discuss exactly this issue.The November 30-December 11 UN conference is tasked with sealing a universal deal to roll back the threat of climate change.But without an accord on finance, "countries will refuse, emerging economies... and they are right," the president told journalists.Finance is a major stumbling block in the fraught, years-long UN effort to conclude a pact committing all the world's nations to curbing climate-altering greenhouse gases.The overarching goal is to limit average global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels -- the threshold at which scientists say we can still avoid worst-case-scenario climate effects.Hollande addressed a press conference as foreign and environment ministers and senior officials concluded two days of talks on the finance question.Funding is the key to help developing countries shift to greener energy, adapt to a climate-altered world and deal with the loss and damages they will suffer from rising seas, droughts, storms and other impacts.Poor and developing nations, among the most threatened by global warming, are insisting rich counterparts show how they intend to meet a promise made in 2009 of $100 billion (90 billion euros) in climate finance annually from 2020.At the end of the informal ministerial meeting, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius insisted the $100 billion commitment "must be respected."In a bid to "give credibility to the process," he said, France and Peru, which hosted last year's climate conference, had asked the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a coordinating forum on economic matters, to provide clarity on how the figure will be fleshed out."It will tell us what is being done on climate by governments... by multilateral banks, by the private sector," the minister said."This will naturally allow us to determine a trend, to see whether we are on track vis-a-vis the target of $100 billion in 2020, or if there are additional efforts to be made."The ministerial talks were not part of official negotiations for the highly-anticipated agreement, but are meant to inject momentum into the troubled UN process.- Everything turns on finance -On Friday, a five-day round of official text- drafting negotiations closed in Bonn with diplomats expressing frustration at their own lagging progress.They will meet again in the former West German capital from October 19 to 23 to work on the unwieldy blueprint -- currently an 83-page laundry list of contradicting country options for dealing with the problem."Everything will turn on the question of finance," Hollande said Monday, and warned that the way things stand: "There are risks of failure."Janos Pasztor, assistant UN secretary general on climate, agreed at a conference elsewhere in Paris that: "Financing is absolutely key.""$100 billion is not that much when we want to change the whole world into a no-carbon future," he said. "For that we need trillions" -- and the bulk will have to come from the private sector.Observers are hopeful that a string of climate-themed meetings in the coming weeks and months will boost the process, bogged down in fights over procedure and ideology.A meeting of the UN General Assembly later this month, said Hollande, would be a "major" step on the road to Paris, as would a joint International Monetary Fund-World Bank meeting in Lima in October.And he announced he would travel to China in November, to "launch an appeal for the success of the climate conference" with President Xi Jinping."If we don’t conclude an agreement... it's not hundreds of thousands of refugees that we’ll have to deal with in the next 20 or 30 years, it's millions," Hollande said as Europe struggled to deal with an influx of migrants, mainly from war-torn Syria.
