UN says Paris Agreement on climate change must aim for long-term environmental stability-U.N APR 22,16

As global leaders prepare to sign the Paris Agreement on climate change today at United Nations Headquarters in New York, the head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction today called on signatories to go beyond their existing commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if the world is to avoid catastrophic future weather events.“I welcome the fact that over 160 countries have declared they are signing up to the Paris Agreement but we are in real danger of being overtaken by the rapid pace of global warming if signatories do not significantly scale up the level of their ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Robert Glasser, the UN Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction.“It is clear that weather and climate are implicated in 90 per cent of major disaster events attributed to natural hazards. Droughts, floods, storms and heatwaves have the potential to undermine many developing states’ efforts to eradicate poverty. Climate change is adding to pre-existing levels of risk fuelled by exposure and socio-economic vulnerability,” he added.Indeed, in order to keep the global spotlight focused on climate change and build on the strong momentum generated by the Paris Agreement, global leaders will participate today in a signature ceremony hosted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.The Paris Agreement was adopted by all 196 Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris on 12 December 2015. In the Agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and to strive for 1.5 degrees Celsius.Thus far, the latest assessment indicates that more than 165 countries will sign the landmark accord, setting a record for the most countries to sign an international agreement on one day. The previous record was set in 1982, when 119 countries signed the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.The event coincides with International Mother Earth Day and in his message on the Day, Mr. Ban said the Paris accord, in conjunction with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, holds the power to transform our world.All of the world’s largest economies, and the largest greenhouse gas emitters, have indicated that they will sign the agreement on Friday. The signing is the first step towards ensuring that the agreement enters into force as soon as possible. After signing, countries must take the further national (or domestic) step of accepting or ratifying the agreement.“The momentum achieved by so many signatures on one day sends a clear signal of solidarity and resolve. Now we must unleash the full force of human ingenuity and ensure low-emission growth and improved climate resilience, the UN chief noted in his Earth Day message.“Leadership from the top is crucial. But each of us has a role to play. We can make energy-efficient choices, stop wasting food, reduce our carbon footprints and increase our sustainable investments,” said the Secretary-General, stressing that small actions, multiplied by billions, will bring about dramatic change, bolstering the Paris Agreement “and setting us on a trajectory to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.”The agreement will enter into force 30 days after at least 55 countries, accounting for at least 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, deposit their instruments of ratification or acceptance with the Secretary-General.There are 13 countries, mostly small island developing States, which are expected to deposit their instruments of ratification immediately after signing the agreement on Friday.Events today will begin with an opening ceremony starting at 8:30 a.m., which will include music from students of New York’s Julliard School and a short video bringing the “gavel moment” from Paris to the signature ceremony.This will be followed by the signature ceremony, which is a legal formality where only Heads of State or Government, foreign ministers, or other representatives with “formal powers” from their Governments may sign the agreement.After signing the agreement, leaders will deliver their national statements, having been asked by the Secretary-General to, among other things, provide an update on how their Governments will implement their national climate plans and integrate them into their overall sustainable development plans; and indicate their Governments’ timetable for ratifying the Agreement.In the afternoon, there will be a High-Level Event on Implementation, which will focus on highlighting how all actors of society and economy can accelerate action, learn from one another, and replicate and scale successful initiatives and activities that will deliver the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.The session will be moderated by UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres, and French Environment Minister and COP 21 President Ségolène Royal. The session will feature a link-up with the Solar Impulse aircraft that is attempting to be the first airplane to circumnavigate the world using only renewable energy.Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, David Nabarro, the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Climate Change, told reporters that the signing of the Paris Agreement is crucial because achieving progress in relation to climate change is central to the broader effort of achieving the SDGs.“Most people who looked at the global situation say that if we don’t succeed in maintaining the world under a 2 degrees Celsius rise, then it’s going to be incredibly difficult to realize the Sustainable Development Goals,” he warned. “And so implementing the Paris agreement is important for promoting prosperity, improving people’s wellbeing, and protecting the environment.”-via UN News Centre-April 22nd, 2016|

Today is an historic day,’ says Ban, as 175 countries sign Paris climate accord-UN-APR 22,16   

As 175 world leaders signed the Paris Agreement at United Nations Headquarters today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the next critical step is to ensure that the landmark accord for global action on climate change enters into force as soon as possible.“Today is an historic day,” Mr. Ban told reporters at a press conference following the opening ceremony of the signing event. “This is by far the largest number of countries ever to sign an international agreement on a single day.”According to the UN chief, the participation by so many countries and the attendance by so many world leaders leaves “no doubt” that the international community is determined to take climate action. He also welcomed the strong presence of the private sector and civil society, saying they are “crucial to realizing the great promise of the Paris Agreement.”Adopted in Paris by the 196 Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at a conference known as (COP21) last December, the Agreement’s objective is to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and to strive for 1.5 degrees Celsius. It will enter into force 30 days after at least 55 countries, accounting for 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, deposit their instruments of ratification.“If all the countries that have signed today take the next step at the national level and join the Agreement, the world will have met the requirement needed for the Paris Agreement to enter into force,” Mr. Ban highlighted, congratulating the 15 Parties that have already deposited their instruments for ratification.These Parties include Barbados, Belize, Fiji, Grenada, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Nauru, Palau, Palestine, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Samoa, Somalia and Tuvalu.Speaking alongside the Secretary-General, French President François Hollande applauded all those who made it possible to reach the second stage of the process – the signing of the document.“I want to underscore that in Paris, it wasn’t just a single agreement that was brought about and needs to be ratified,” Mr. Hollande told the press. “In Paris, there were also four initiatives that were launched: the International Solar Energy Alliance, the development plan for renewable energy, the innovation mission with [United States] President Obama, and finally the high-level coalition to set a price for fossil fuels and coal.”He insisted that France needs to be role model and set the example, not just because it was the place where the accord was reached, but because the country contributed to the solution.“France should be an example to show that it wants to be the first – or one of the first – not just to ratify but also to implement the contents of the Agreement,” Mr. Hollande stated, noting that his country will increase its annual financing for climate from three to five billion euros per year between now and 2020.Meanwhile, in two weeks, the UN chief will co-host the Climate Action 2016 meeting in Washington D.C., which is expected to bring together leaders and experts from many fields, including government, business, civil society and academia, ahead of the next COP in Morocco in November.-via UN News Centre-April 22nd, 2016|

Canada’s efforts will not cease,’ Trudeau says at landmark climate deal meet-175 countries sign Paris Agreement on climate change on Earth Day.Justin Trudeau was one of the first leaders to speak at the United Nations Friday morning, as leaders began signing the Paris climate change agreement.By: Peter Edwards Star Reporter, Edith Lederer Cara Anna The Associated Press, Published on Fri Apr 22 2016

Leaders from 175 countries signed the Paris Agreement on climate change Friday as the landmark deal took a key step forward, potentially entering into force years ahead of schedule.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, holding his young granddaughter, joined dozens of world leaders for a signing ceremony at the United Nations in New York that set a record for international diplomacy: Never have so many countries signed an agreement on the first available day. States that don’t sign Friday have a year to do so.“We are in a race against time,” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the gathering. “The era of consumption without consequences is over.”Many now expect the climate agreement to enter into force long before the original deadline of 2020. Some say it could happen this year.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in New York to sign the agreement, also announced that Canada would ratify the agreement this year.“Today, with my signature, I give you our word that Canada’s efforts will not cease. In every possible sense we are all in this together,” Trudeau said. “Together we will make this a better world.”Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among the heads of state who signed the Paris agreement on climate change Friday.After signing, countries must formally approve the Paris Agreement through their domestic procedures. The United Nations says 15 countries, several of them small island states under threat from rising seas, did that Friday by depositing their instruments of ratification.China, the world’s top carbon emitter, announced it will “finalize domestic procedures” to ratify the Paris Agreement before the G-20 summit in China in September. Ban immediately welcomed the pledge.Kerry said the United States “absolutely intends to join” the agreement this year. The world is watching anxiously: Analysts say that if the agreement enters into force before President Barack Obama leaves office in January, it would be more complicated for his successor to withdraw from the deal because it would take four years to do so under the agreement’s rules.China’s climate envoy, Xie Zhenhua, said his government hopes the United States will join the climate agreement “as soon as possible.”The United States put the deal into economic terms. “The power of this agreement is what it is going to do to unleash the private sector,” Kerry told the gathering, noting that this year is again shaping up to be the hottest year on record.Ban warned that the work ahead will be enormously expensive. “Far more than $100 billion — indeed, trillions of dollars — is needed to realize a global, clean-energy economy,” he said.The agreement will enter into force once 55 countries representing at least 55 per cent of global emissions have formally joined it.An analysis by the Washington-based World Resources Institute found that at least 25 countries representing 45 per cent of global emissions joined the agreement Friday or committed to joining it early.French President François Hollande, the first to sign the agreement, said Friday he will ask parliament to ratify it by this summer. France’s environment minister is in charge of global climate negotiations.“There is no turning back now,” Hollande told the gathering.Other countries that said Friday they intend to join the agreement this year include Mexico and Australia.The climate ceremony brought together a wide range of states that on other issues might sharply disagree. North Korea’s foreign minister made a rare UN appearance to sign Friday, and Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe brought applause when he declared, “Life itself is at stake in this combat. We have the power to win it.”Countries that have not yet indicated they would sign the agreement Friday include some of the world’s largest oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Nigeria and Kazakhstan, the World Resources Institute said.The Paris Agreement, the world’s response to hotter temperatures, rising seas and other impacts of climate change, was reached in December as a major breakthrough in UN climate negotiations, which for years were slowed by disputes between rich and poor countries over who should do what.Under the agreement, countries set their own targets for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The targets are not legally binding, but countries must update them every five years.Already, states face pressure to do more. Scientific analyses show the initial set of targets that countries pledged before Paris don’t match the agreement’s long-term goal to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), compared with pre-industrial times. Global average temperatures have already climbed by almost 1 degree Celsius. Last year was the hottest on record.The latest analysis by the Climate Interactive research group shows the Paris pledges put the world on track for 3.5 degrees Celsius of warming. A separate analysis by Climate Action Tracker, a European group, projected warming of 2.7 degrees Celsius.Either way, scientists say the consequences could be catastrophic in some places, wiping out crops, flooding coastal areas and melting Arctic sea ice.“This is not a good deal for our island nations, at least not yet,” the chair of the Alliance of Small Island States, Nauru President Baron Divavesi Waqa, told the gathering. “The hardest work starts now.”As the Paris Agreement moves forward, there is some good news. Global energy emissions, the biggest source of man-made greenhouse gases, were flat last year even though the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency.Still, fossil fuels are used much more widely than renewable sources like wind and solar power.Friday was chosen for the signing ceremony because it is Earth Day.With files from Peter Edwards.

Obama: US needs Britain inside EU By Eszter Zalan-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 22. Apr, 09:27-US president Barack Obama has made a direct appeal to British voters to remain in the European Union as he begins a four-day visit to Europe on Friday (22 April).In an article in the traditionally eurosceptic Daily Telegraph newspaper, Obama urged Britons to vote on 23 June to stay in the bloc, arguing that membership enhances Britain’s leadership in the world.“You should be proud that the EU has helped spread British values and practices - democracy, the rule of law, open markets - across the continent and to its periphery,” he said.“The European Union doesn’t moderate British influence - it magnifies it.”“A strong Europe is not a threat to Britain’s global leadership; it enhances Britain’s global leadership,” he added.Many in the campaign to leave the EU considered his appeal a form of outside interference.Iain Duncan Smith, the former pensions secretary and a supporter of Brexit, said that by backing the campaign to stay in the EU, the US leader was asking British citizens to surrender sovereignty to an extent that Americans would never be willing to consider.“What I do find strange is that he is asking the British people to accept a situation he would not recommend to the American population,” the Daily Mail quoted him as having said.The US president also said the most effective nations on the world stage operate as part of larger alliances.“Even as we all cherish our sovereignty, the nations who wield their influence most effectively are the nations that do it through the collective action that today’s challenges demand,” Obama wrote.He also voiced US concerns that Britain leaving the EU would mean a Europe that is less involved in international affairs.Obama said that the UK keeps the EU “open and outward looking” and ensures “it takes a strong stance in the world” and is “closely linked to its allies on the other side of the Atlantic”.“The US and the world need your outsized influence to continue - including within Europe”, Obama wrote in the article.Obama flew to Britain late on Thursday to begin what is his fifth presidential visit to the kingdom.He will hold talks with prime minister David Cameron on Friday. The US administration thinks that Cameron took on a dangerous gamble by calling for a referendum on EU membership.Besides Brexit, they will focus on the situation in Syria and Iraq.Obama will start by making a visit to Windsor Castle to attend a lunch with Queen Elizabeth II a day after her 90th birthday.From Britain, Obama will travel to Germany for a meeting with German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Francois Hollande, Italy's Matteo Renzi. The group will also be joined by Cameron.

Shut your nuclear plants, Germany tells Belgium By Eric Maurice-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 21. Apr, 09:29-Germany has asked Belgium to close two of its nuclear power stations over safety concerns, in the latest sign of EU states getting involved in their neighbours' nuclear policies.The German federal environment minister Barbara Hendricks said on Wednesday (20 April) that reactors in Doel and Tihange should be closed after a report by the German Reactor Safety Commission said their safety was not guaranteed "I consider it right that the plants are temporarily taken offline at least until further investigations have been completed. I have asked the Belgian government to take this step," Hendricks said.She said that there were "no concrete indications that the reactor pressure vessels will not resist the strain", but that it was however "not possible to be sure they would resist every possible strain".Doel 3 and Tihange 2 reactors were closed for the first time in 2012 and again from 2014 to last December after “microcracks” were found in pressure vessels.In a statement on Wednesday, Belgium's Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) replied that their conclusions regarding the two reactors' safety “remain unchanged, despite what minister Hendricks says”."The FANC remains convinced that the Doel 3 and Tihange 2 comply with international safety standards and that there is no need to shut down these units from a nuclear safety point of view," it said.The Belgian agency said it was "willing to set up further cooperation initiatives with its German partner organisations if they are willing to collaborate in a constructive fashion".-'Not reassured'-Germany's demand to close the Belgian reactors comes after a first bilateral meeting between the two countries' nuclear safety agencies earlier this month.It is not the first expression of concern outside Belgium over the safety of the reactors.In January, the European Green Party published a report on Doel and Tihange and said that "the authorised restart of the two nuclear power plants is not understandable".The same month, Dutch experts led by their environment minister Melanie Schultz visited the Doel power plant, a few days after a Luxembourgish delegation was also received in Belgium."We are not reassured because we didn't get answers to all our questions," a Luxembourg official told reporters at the time.In February, the authorities in Aachen in Germany decided to file a legal case against the restart of the Tihange power plant, which is about 60km away.Nuclear safety has become an even more sensitive issue since the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and Germany's subsequent decision to phase out its nuclear plants.-French old plants-France has also been under criticism.In March, Germany's Hendricks demanded the closure "at the earliest possible date" of the Fessenheim power plant next to the German border in the Alsace region."This power plant is very old, too old to still be in operation," she said of the facility, opened in 1977.Germany, together with Luxembourg, also raised concerns about the Cattenom power plant in the French region of Lorraine.During a press conference with French prime minister Manuel Valls earlier this month, Luxembourg PM Xavier Bettel said a problem at Cattenom could "wipe the Duchy off the map".He said his country would be ready to fund a project to close and replace the facility by a project "that is not nuclear in nature".In another move similar to Aachen's decision towards Tihange, the Swiss canton of Geneva filed a complaint in March against another French nuclear plant, in Bugey.It said the Bugey plant, close to its border, "deliberately put in danger the life of others and pollutes the waters".

Hebron modules damaged in Bull Arm incident, no injuries reported-[CBC]-April 24, 2016-YAHOONEWS

After CBC News received a tip that a construction incident had caused "major damage" to topside modules on the Hebron oil platform Thursday, officials with WorleyParsons Canada later confirmed the incident had taken place.A spokesperson with WorleyParsons Canada, which is the prime contractor with the Hebron Topsides Project, confirmed on Sunday that an "operational incident" occurred at the Bull Arm site during "topsides commissioning activities last Thursday.No personnel were in the area at the time and no injuries were reported. An investigation into the matter is underway.In an email to CBC News, WorleyParsons Canada said that its "priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees and contractors."

Canada must stop using 'racial discrimination as fiscal restraint,' Cindy Blackstock says-[CBC]-April 24, 2016-YAHOONEWS

The gap is growing between the amount of money First Nations children receive for basic services compared to other Canadians, according to documents filed at an inquest into First Nations student deaths in Thunder Bay, Ont.Spending information from the Department of Indigenous Affairs shows the impact of the two-per-cent cap on annual increases to First Nations budgets, put in place in 1996 by the previous Liberal government.The document compares and tracks funding for First Nations people versus other Canadians on a per-person and inflation-adjusted basis dating back to 1994. It shows that funding for First Nations dropped by almost 30 per cent during that time, while funding for other Canadians rose during the same period."If we allow things to continue as they are, then we as a people are accepting racial discrimination against children as a fiscal restraint measure," said Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada.Justin Trudeau said his government will lift the two-per-cent cap on funding, but it's not clear when First Nations budgets will be adjusted."We've now got $8.4 billion in the platform that, together with your chief and grand chief, we're going to make sure how to do this fairly and make sure people are properly housed and boil water advisories are stopped," Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said April 15 at a community meeting in Neskantaga First Nation.Neskantaga, like dozens of other First Nations in northern Ontario, does not have safe tap water, houses are crumbling and overcrowded, and there is no high school, so children as young as 13 must leave home for an education.Blackstock said the money promised by the Liberals over five years won't be nearly enough to bridge the funding gap, particularly for services to First Nations children who she says take a painful message from government spending policy."They codify these inequalities as personal deficits, that they must not be smart enough, that they must not be good enough and that's the real damage of this type of discrimination and these types of inequalities in federal funding," she said.The children's rights advocate said the feelings of inferiority are fuelling the high suicide rates among Indigenous youth and she believes Canadians can be convinced to spend more on their well-being."I don't think Canadians want to be known as a group that is prepared to finance things like arenas and highways by racially discriminating against kids," Blackstock said, adding that every dollar a government spends on a child saves $20 "down the line."

AP Exclusive: N. Korea to halt nuke tests if US stops drills-[The Canadian Press]-Eric Talmadge, The Associated Press-The Canadian Press-April 24, 2016-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK, N.Y. - North Korea is ready to halt its nuclear tests if the United States suspends its annual military exercises with South Korea, the North Korean foreign minister told The Associated Press in an interview in which he also warned that his country won't be cowed by international sanctions.Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong defended the country's right to maintain a nuclear deterrent, and for those waiting for the North's regime to collapse, he had this to say: Don't hold your breath."Stop the nuclear war exercises in the Korean Peninsula, then we should also cease our nuclear tests," he said in his first interview Saturday with a Western news organization.Ri held firm to Pyongyang's longstanding position that the U.S. drove his country to develop nuclear weapons as an act of self-defence. At the same time, he suggested that suspending the military exercises with Seoul could open the door to talks and reduced tensions."If we continue on this path of confrontation, this will lead to very catastrophic results, not only for the two countries but for the whole entire world as well," he said, speaking in Korean through an interpreter. "It is really crucial for the United States government to withdraw its hostile policy against the DPRK and as an expression of this stop the military exercises, war exercises, in the Korean Peninsula. Then we will respond likewise." DPRK is an abbreviation for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.Ri, who spoke calmly and in measured words, a contrast to the often bombastic verbiage used by the North's media, claimed the North's proposal was "very logical."He granted the interview in the country's diplomatic mission to the United Nations. He spoke beneath portraits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il, North Korea's two previous leaders — the grandfather and father of current leader Kim Jong Un.If the exercises are halted "for some period, for some years," he added, "new opportunities may arise for the two countries and for the whole entire world as well."Ri's comments to the AP came just hours after North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine in its latest show of defiance as the U.S.-South Korea exercises wind down. He referred to the launch in the context of current tensions caused by the military exercises. "The escalation of this military exercise level has reached its top level. And I think it's not bad — as the other side is going for the climax — why not us, too, to that level as well?"It is extremely rare for top North Korean officials to give interviews to foreign media, and particularly with Western news organizations.Ri's proposal, which he said he hoped U.S. policymakers would heed, may well fall on deaf ears. North Korea, which sees the U.S.-South Korean exercises as a rehearsal for invasion, has floated similar proposals to Washington in the past, but the U.S. has insisted the North give up its nuclear weapons program first before any negotiations.The result has been a stalemate that Ri said has put the peninsula at the crossroads of a thermonuclear war.In Seoul, South Korea's Foreign Ministry released a statement Sunday that called the North's proposal "not worth considering." The ministry noted that the North's suggestion is nothing new, and said that the comment was just part of its manoeuvring to wiggle out of the difficult situation created by stronger international sanctions.In response to Ri's remarks, a U.S. State Department official defended the military exercises as demonstrating the U.S. commitment to its alliance with the South and said they enhance the combat readiness, flexibility and capabilities of the alliance."We call again on North Korea to refrain from actions and rhetoric that further raise tensions in the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its international commitments and obligations," said Katina Adams, a spokeswoman for the State Department's Bureau of East Asia and Pacific Affairs.Sanctions, Ri said, won't sway the North."If they believe they can actually frustrate us with sanctions, they are totally mistaken," he said. "The more pressure you put on to something, the more emotionally you react to stand up against it. And this is important for the American policymakers to be aware of."Ri, in New York to attend a United Nations' meeting on sustainable development, said the possibility of conflict has increased significantly this year because the exercises have taken on what Pyongyang sees as a more aggressive and threatening tone — including training to conduct precision "decapitation" strikes on North Korea's leadership.This year's exercises are the biggest ever, involving about 300,000 troops. Washington and Seoul say they beefed up the manoeuvrs after North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test, in January, which also brought a new round of tough sanctions by the U.N. down on Pyongyang's head. The exercises are set to continue through the end of the month.Pyongyang, meanwhile, has responded with a series of missile launches and statements in its media that the country has developed its long-range ballistic missile and nuclear warhead technologies to the point that they now present a credible deterrent and could even be used against targets on the U.S. mainland, though not all foreign analysts accept that claim.Ri also used his presence at the U.N. conference as a forum to denounce Washington, saying in a brief statement that while North Korea is contributing to the objectives of global sustainable development by taking measures to double its production of grains to solve its food problem by 2030 and by reforesting 1.67 million hectares (4.13 million acres) of mountainous areas, it is doing so under "the most adverse conditions due to outside forces."In the interview, he stated that the United States has used its power to get other countries to join in pressure on North Korea."A country as small as the DPRK cannot actually be a threat to the U.S. or to the world," he told the AP. "How great would it be if the world were to say to the United States and the American government not to conduct any more military exercises in the Korean Peninsula ... But there is not a single country that says this to the U.S.""These big countries alone or together are telling us that we should calm down," he said. "For us this is like a sentence, that we should accept our death and refuse our right to sovereignty."Ri said North Korea is not encouraged by the thawing of relations between Washington and Cuba or Iran."We're happy for the Cuban people and the Iranian people that they have reached successes on their path to pursuing their own goals and interests," he said.

Iran says Islamic State hatching plots against it from Raqqa-[Reuters]-April 23, 2016-YAHOONEWS

BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Iranian minister said on Saturday that Islamic State has been hatching "plots and conspiracies" against Iran from its de facto capital Raqqa in Syria and has made several attempts to send "terrorist teams" into Iran.Intelligence minister Mahmoud Alavi said in an interview with Lebanese television station al-Mayadeen that if Iran had not fought terrorism in Syria and Iraq it would have had to do so in Iran, justifying its continued role in the Syria conflict as a matter of national security.The Islamic Republic of Iran, which shares its western border with Iraq, has recently indicated it has sent regular and volunteer members of its armed forces to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's fight against rebels and Islamic state militants seeking to topple his rule.Iran has two armed forces - a regular army serving as a national defense force and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps created after the revolution to protect the country against both internal and external adversaries.Parts of both armies appear to be fighting or advising in the five-year-old Syrian conflict. Iranian troops are also said to be fighting Islamic State in Iraq."Raqqa in Syria is one of the places where (Islamic State) is plotting and making conspiracies against Iran," al-Mayadeen reported Alavi as saying.(Reporting by Lisa Barrington; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Germany seeking 'safe zones' in Syria to shelter refugees-[Reuters]-By Ercan Gurses and Andreas Rinke-April 23, 2016-YAHOONEWS

GAZIANTEP, Turkey (Reuters) - Germany is seeking the creation of "safe zones" to shelter refugees in Syria, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, an idea Turkey has long championed in the face of U.N. caution.Keeping refugees on the Syrian side of the border would help Brussels and Ankara, which hosts 2.7 million Syrian refugees, stem the flow of migrants to European shores. The U.N. has warned against the plan unless there was a way to guarantee the refugees' safety in the war-torn state. Aid workers have opposed it.The cessation of hostilities in Syria which began at the end of February and was sponsored by Russia and the United States to allow for peace talks, has since faltered. The opposition, which walked out of negotiations in Geneva said the truce, which excluded powerful jihadist groups such as Islamic State and the Nusra Front, al Qaeda's branch in Syria, was no longer in place.At a news conference in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, Merkel called for "zones where the ceasefire is particularly enforced and where a significant level of security can be guaranteed."As tens of thousands of refugees fleeing the fighting in Syria are unable to cross into Turkey, and instead are camped near the Azaz border crossing where local agencies offer humanitarian support, some have accused Turkey of stealthily forming such a zone.The EU-Turkey agreement to send back thousands of migrants from the Greek islands to Turkey has also been fiercely criticised by United Nations refugee and human rights agencies, as immoral and a violation of international humanitarian law. Rights groups say Turkey is not a country where returnees can be guaranteed proper protection.The agreement, coupled with border closures in Europe that meant smugglers could not secure passage to northern Europe, initially slowed the numbers of new arrivals to Greece.But boats have been arriving with about 150 people a day, indicating the "hermetic sealing" of the route appears to be over, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.-TURKEY "BEST EXAMPLE"-One side of the bargain, used to sell the migrant deal to the Turkish public, was Turks winning quicker visa-free travel to Europe, a pledge that now could go unfulfilled, at least by the June deadline Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had wanted.On Saturday Davutoglu said there would be no more readmissions if visa liberalisation was not enacted, but that he believed the EU would take the necessary steps."We have said that Turkey naturally must fulfil the conditions, these are 72 projects that must be implemented," Merkel said. "My aim is that we stick to those understandings. Provided that Turkey delivers the relevant results."Davutoglu, Merkel, EU Council President Donald Tusk and Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans visited a refugee camp in Nizip and the inauguration of a child protection centre in Gaziantep.Following comments from a Turkish officials that there were problems in releasing the 3 billion euros ($3.37 billion)promised to Turkey to look after refugees, Tusk said access to the funds was being accelerated.Hundreds of thousands of Syrian children in Turkey have no access to education. Davutoglu said Turkey had met all its responsibilities, including giving refugees the right to work.But a work permit scheme for refugees designed to protect them from exploitation has been slow to gain traction, with many Syrians unable to apply without the support of their bosses.Yet Tusk on Saturday praised Turkey as a refugee host."Today Turkey is the best example in the entire world of how to treat refugees. I am proud that we are partners. There is no other way," he said.Amnesty International has said Syrians are being shot at trying to enter Turkey while others are being deported to Syria against their will, a claim Davutoglu refuted on Saturday."While Turkey and Europe haggle over long standing political battles like visa free travel, refugees continue to suffer with little chance of protection in Europe and serious violations against them in Turkey," said Gauri van Gulik, deputy Europe director at Amnesty International."All states have a duty to protect refugees that can't be traded away for political expediency."(Writing by Dasha Afanasieva; Additional reporting by Joseph Nasr; Editing by Tom Heneghan and David Evans)

Opinion-Europe must take lead on protecting Syrian civilians By Frederic C. Hof-EUOBSERVER

WASHINGTON, 22. Apr, 10:03-For more than five years Syria has been dying a slow, violent, and public death.Syrian civilians have been the prime targets: by an Assad regime seeking to survive via collective punishment; by an Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) spawned by Assad regime terror; and by other armed groups. The results have been catastrophic.With Europe experiencing a migrant crisis traceable mainly to Syria, waiting any longer for American leadership to address the problem's source is risky. Paying Turkey to pen-up unwanted people is neither Europe's finest hour nor the answer to a crisis that may worsen.President Barack Obama's statements early-on about Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad stepping aside and chemical red lines not to be crossed led many Europeans to believe that Washington would lead decisively on Syria. It was not to be.Yes, America's anti-ISIS coalition-building efforts have been considerable. Yes, we all encourage secretary of state John Kerry to bring a negotiated political transition from brutally corrupt family rule to democracy and pluralism. These endeavours merit full support.But in five years not a single Syrian civilian inside Syria has been protected from the homicidal rampage of the Assad regime: not one. Are 5 million refugees, 7 million internally displaced, 200,000 dead, countless others terrorised, traumatised and maimed, tens of thousands of people rotting in regime prisons merely someone else's humanitarian problem? Or is this the essence of the problem that now roils European politics and even crosses the ocean to North America?-Moral failure-There is moral failure and it is not Washington's alone. The transatlantic community has turned away from "never again" and "responsibility to protect." Moral failure, unsurprisingly, has political costs.Excuses for inaction are many and not without trace elements of fact. Syria is complicated. Those who have rebelled against Assad are not all saints. Intervention – even well short of invasion, occupation, regime change and the like – is risky.There is no military solution; mitigation of mass slaughter by limited military means cannot be decisive and is therefore useless.What is happening is horrible, but essentially not our business. It is not genocide; only mass murder. Anything we do to try to protect people will only make things worse. Ancient hatreds are at work; we in the West can do little about such savagery.None of these excuses is unprecedented. It is as if no one among our leaders has read US ambassador Samantha Power's brilliant account of 20th century Western failure in the face of governments murdering their citizens.Yet consequences are unavoidable. Even those unmoved by horrors inflicted on innocents must measure the impact on Syria's neighbours and on ourselves. And as we grieve losses in Paris and Brussels let us consider the recruiting bonanza accruing to ISIS from Assad's mass homicide.There are no easy cures for Syria. There are no clear pathways forward. Yet there is one certainty: no prospect for anything good happening as long as civilians remain targeted and unprotected.In the case of ISIS, Kurds were protected in Kobani. In neighbouring Iraq Yazidis were protected in Sinjar. Only Assad operates with impunity against civilians: in their homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.Absent genuine political transition, Syria's death spiral – accompanied by the steady emptying of the country – may continue indefinitely. Yet political transition cannot be mooted while mass murder continues.Those, like Russia, who say that Assad – the barrel bomber who denies the existence of barrel bombs – should be part of a transition to democracy and pluralism use force of arms to bolster their case. Yes, their minds may change. Dare we bet on it? The transatlantic community must focus on the source of the problem: mass murder in western Syria. Yes, ISIS must be destroyed, and soon. Clearly a professional ground combat force will be required. No doubt Europe can contribute.-Talks futile-But the problem's essence is civilian vulnerability to regime (and now Russian) aircraft, artillery, rockets and missiles.Surely talks are essential. Yet negotiating while civilians are deliberately bombed and besieged is futile.Rather than waiting for Washington to wake up to the political-diplomatic imperative of civilian protection, European political leaders and defence chiefs should stimulate an urgent transatlantic policy review and a professional evaluation of military steps that might mitigate mass murder and complicate the work of perpetrators: steps requiring neither invasion nor occupation.There will be risks. Yet five years of attempted risk avoidance have yielded catastrophe. Europe is now on Syria's front line. If it wants America's help, it must take the lead. It may prove to be the start of a stronger transatlantic partnership.Ambassador Frederic C. Hof is senior fellow at the Washington-based Atlantic Council think tank and a former US special advisor on transition in Syria

Ecuador earthquake death toll tops 650-The country's president has estimated damage at $2 billion to $3 billion-Thomson Reuters Updated: Apr 23, 2016 10:14 PM ET

The death toll from Ecuador's devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake last week has risen to 654 people, the country's emergency management authority said on Saturday.Last week's quake, the worst in nearly seven decades, injured around 16,600 people and left 58 missing along the country's ravaged Pacific coast. A total of 113 people were rescued from damaged buildings."These have been sad days for the homeland," President Rafael Correa said during his weekly television broadcast earlier on Saturday. "The country is in crisis."Several strong tremors and more than 700 aftershocks have continued to shake the country since the major quake last Saturday, sparking momentary panic but little additional damage. Tremors are expected to continue for several weeks.-Ecuador Earthquake-With close to 7,000 buildings destroyed, more than 25,000 people were living in shelters. Some 14,000 security personnel were keeping order in quake-hit areas, with only sporadic looting reported.Survivors in the quake zone were receiving food, water and medicine from the government and scores of foreign aid workers, although Correa has acknowledged that bad roads delayed aid reaching some communities.Correa's leftist government, facing mammoth rebuilding at a time of greatly reduced oil revenues for the OPEC country, has said it would temporarily increase some taxes, offer assets for sale and possibly issue bonds abroad to fund reconstruction. Congress will begin debate on the tax proposal on Tuesday.Correa has estimated damage at $2 billion to $3 billion. Lower oil revenue has already left the country of 16 million people facing near-zero growth and lower investment.The country's private banking association said on Saturday its member banks would defer payments on credit cards, loans and mortgages for clients in the quake zone for three months, to help reconstruction efforts.Rescuers pause as they search for earthquake victims amidst the rubble in Manta, Ecuador on April 18, 2016. Several strong tremors and more than 700 aftershocks have continued to shake the country in the week after the initial quake.
