Netanyahu tells France's Ayrault he still opposes peace conference-[By Jeffrey Heller]-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told France's foreign minister on Sunday that Israel remained opposed to a French initiative for an international conference to try to revive peace talks.Palestinians welcomed the proposal but Israel is concerned that the conference that France seeks to hold in the autumn would try to dictate terms for a peace deal.In public remarks to his cabinet after meeting France's Jean-Marc Ayrault, Netanyahu said: "I told him the only way to advance genuine peace between us and the Palestinians is through direct negotiations between us and them, without preconditions."Israel made the same argument in the formal response it gave last month. France hopes an international conference would set out a framework for peace negotiations, after U.S. efforts to broker a two-state deal collapsed in April 2014."I know that Netanyahu does not agree (to the French proposal)," Ayrault told reporters after his talks with the Israeli leader in Jerusalem and a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank.Ayrault said France would continue to pursue the initiative and that its ultimate goal was for both sides to return to direct talks, with international intervention laying the groundwork."It is very clear to us, and I said this today to both the prime minister and to President Abbas, that we cannot take the place of the two parties," he said at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport at the end of a one-day visit to promote the plan."Only they can conduct direct negotiations to achieve a solution," Ayrault said. "But because things are currently stuck ... external intervention is necessary to provide renewed momentum."An international gathering of ministers, tentatively planned for May 30 in Paris, is set to include the Middle East Quartet (the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations), the Arab League, the U.N. Security Council and about 20 countries, without Israeli or Palestinian participation.Diplomats say that meeting will package all economic incentives and other guarantees that various countries have offered in previous years to create an agenda for an autumn peace conference.While objecting to the French initiative, Netanyahu, a right-winger, has stopped short of saying Israel would boycott it.Keeping his options open could help Netanyahu in preliminary contacts with the main opposition Zionist Union party - a centre-left group likely to favour participating - on expanding his ruling coalition that has a mere one-seat parliamentary majority.(Additional reporting by John Irish in Paris; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

Islamic State attacks gas plant north of Baghdad, killing 11-[Reuters]-By Ahmed Rasheed and Kareem Raheem-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Islamic State attack on a state-run gas plant in Baghdad's northern outskirts on Sunday killed at least 11 people, including policemen, and forced two power stations it supplied to suspend electricity production.A suicide car bomb went off at the entrance of the facility in Taji at around 0600 local time (0300 GMT), allowing another vehicle carrying at least six attackers with explosive vests to enter and clash with security forces, police sources said. Twenty-one people were also wounded.The militant group said in an online statement that four fighters with machine guns had killed the guards at the plant which it said the Iraqi army was using as a headquarters.When reinforcements arrived, they set off a parked car bomb before clashing with the security forces and detonating their suicide vests.A spokesman for Baghdad Operations Command said three of the facility's gas storages were set alight before security forces were able to bring the situation under control.Iraq's Oil Ministry said the attack had not disrupted the plant's production of gas for cooking and electricity production.But the Electricity Ministry said two nearby power stations had halted operations due to a cut in gas supplies from the Taji plant. It was not clear how long it would take to restore flow to the power stations, which provided 153 megawatts to the already overstretched national grid before the attack.Video broadcast by Al Hadath TV showed a fireball surging from the plant.An employee who lives nearby said after hearing a powerful blast he saw flames and black smoke coming from inside the facility. Dozens of police and army vehicles rushed to the site where shooting lasted for about an hour, he said.Islamic State, which controls swathes of the country's north and west, has carried out a string of bombings this week that killed around 100 people.Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Saturday the militants were taking advantage of a political crisis in the country, sparked by his attempt to overhaul its quota-based governing system, to conduct bombings in areas under nominal government control.A U.S.-led coalition backing the Iraqi government in its fight against Islamic State has been training army forces for months at a military base located in Taji.Separate explosions in Baghdad's southern outskirts on Sunday left three people dead and 12 wounded, police sources said.(Additional reporting by Omar Fahmy in Cairo; writing by Stephen Kalin; editing by Jason Neely and John Stonestreet)
German politicians say Merkel left EU exposed to Turkish blackmail-[Reuters]-By Michelle Martin-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BERLIN (Reuters) - German politicians accused Chancellor Angela Merkel at the weekend of making Europe overly dependent on Turkey in the migrant crisis, leaving the bloc vulnerable to blackmail by President Tayyip Erdogan.Turkey, refusing to bow to European Union demands to rein in its broad anti-terror laws, said on Friday talks on a deal to provide visa-free travel in return for stopping illegal migrants reaching the EU had reached an impasse and the bloc must find a "new formula" to salvage the agreement.Merkel, whose popularity has suffered due to her liberal migrant policy that saw Germany take in more than one million migrants last year, had spearheaded EU efforts to secure the deal, signed in March.While the numbers of migrants have dropped sharply this year, Merkel continues to attract criticism from her conservative allies in Bavaria as well as the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD)."I'm not against talks with Turkey but I think it's dangerous to become so dependent on Ankara," said Horst Seehofer, leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU).Seehofer told Welt am Sonntag (WamS) that the deal with Turkey had helped boost support for AfD, which is currently polling at up to 15 percent.Sahra Wagenknecht of the opposition far-left Linke party told the same newspaper Merkel had essentially negotiated the deal without involving her European partners."The chancellor is therefore responsible for Europe having become vulnerable to being blackmailed by the authoritarian Turkish regime and for Erdogan feeling noticeably strengthened to crush human rights underfoot," she said.Cem Oezdemir, co-leader of the Greens party and the son of Turkish immigrants, also told WamS the deal had put Europe at risk of being blackmailed and said Merkel was largely to blame.While the EU is desperate for the deal to succeed, it also insists that Turkey meet 72 criteria, including anti-terror laws which it says Turkey uses to stifle dissent. Ankara says it needs sweeping legislation to fight Kurdish insurgents and Islamic State.Merkel is due to attend the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul on May 23 and there are plans for bilateral talks with other leaders in attendance, her spokesman said on Friday.Members of the Social Democrats (SPD), Merkel's junior coalition partner, also expressed concern.Carsten Schneider told WamS Merkel had made Erdogan the key to her refugee policy and if he stopped cooperating, "the extent of Germany's isolation in Europe will become clear again", while Thorsten Schaefer-Guembel said Merkel should not "kowtow" to Erdogan.But SPD Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Tagesspiegel newspaper Turkey was still the key country for migration to Europe, adding: "We need to cooperate to some extent if we want to avoid the circumstances we had last year."Merkel has drawn heavy criticism for allowing German prosecutors to pursue a case against a German comedian at the Turkish leader's behest. The comic had recited a sexually crude poem about Erdogan.(Reporting by Michelle Martin; Editing by Clelia Oziel)
Calgary conference aims to dispel Muslim myths-[CBC]-May 14, 2016-yahoonews
About 200 Calgarians attended a conference on Saturday with a goal of addressing Islamophobia through dialogue.The non-profit group "Think for Actions" organized the "Your Muslim Neighbour" day-long event.It covered many themes on how to get people of all faiths to respect each other.Mukarram Ali Zaidi, an assistant professor at University of Calgary, is one of the organizers.He says a recent survey the group did revealed numbers that might be surprising to some non-Muslims.Research indicates about 97 per cent of Muslims in Calgary identify as both proud Canadians and proud Muslims.Still, Zaidi says myths can sometimes be taken as facts by some people."We as Calgary Muslims are part of this beautiful fabric," Zaidi said."The myths are we are not integrated, we are not part of it and we don't care about the community. They are all [proving] to be wrong by the survey. We are proud Canadians, we are proud Muslims, we are giving to charity, we are volunteering, we are working elections, by all accounts we are completely integrated yet we still feel marginalized. It is really sad."That is why the conference — which organizers hope will become an annual event — is so important."The conference is a new forum for people to come and ask questions about Muslims, about Islam and about the myths about Muslims. We are opening up," Zaidi explained.Kohawar Khan attended the event.She says it's about having a conversation."We are going to get the communities, all communities within Calgary, to work together, to better integrate ourselves. I feel like it is going to create more solutions. There are a lot of people that have come out today, they are here for a cause," Khan said."There are questions and solutions ultimately."Ziad Paracha, also with the organizing group, says the survey shows Muslims are more integrated than it was thought."There is always a question of identity. Who we are? Where we come from? What are we doing here?" Paracha said."Their identity as Muslim Calgarians is that they are both Canadians and they are Muslims and they want to embrace that. They want to embrace the customs, the values and the things Canada has to offer them but at the same time be very proud in practicing their religion and being an integral and active member of their community."And organizers hope conferences like this one, are a step in that direction.
Suicide bombing kills 25 in southern Yemen-[The Canadian Press]-Ahmed Al-Haj, The Associated Press-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
SANAA, Yemen - A suicide bomber on Sunday detonated his explosives among policemen standing in line outside a police base in the southern Yemeni city of Mukalla, killing 25, security and health officials said. At least 17 more people were injured in the attack and the officials said the death toll was likely to rise further.The Yemeni affiliate of the extremist Islamist State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on social media networks by IS sympathizers.Sunday's victims were policemen returning to work for the first time since last month's recapture of Mukalla by forces loyal to the internationally-recognized government. The port city had been held for more than a year by Yemen's local al-Qaida affiliate.The victims also included young men applying for jobs with the city's local police, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.The IS group has been trying to gain a foothold in Yemen, where a war pitting the country's Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, against President Abed Rabbo Mansour's government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition, has left a security vacuum throughout parts of the country.The U.N. special envoy to Yemen said Sunday that the warring parties agreed to an exchange of 50 per cent of prisoners and detainees held by both sides before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start around June 6. Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed did not give a number for how many prisoners this deal would free.He was speaking to reporters in Kuwait, which is hosting U.N.-brokered negotiations to resolve the conflict. A truce, which began April 10, has mostly held despite multiple breaches by both sides. The U.N. envoy acknowledged in a statement late Saturday that the talks are showing progress "albeit at a relatively slow pace."Sunday's blast came a week after the IS in Yemen claimed responsibility for an explosion that struck a navy base in Mukalla, killing at least six soldiers.The IS affiliate in Yemen emerged during the country's ongoing civil war and has been striving to expand its footprint amid the turmoil gripping the impoverished country in the southern corner of the Arabian peninsula.Throughout its year-long rule of Mukalla, al-Qaida forged an alliance with local forces fighting the Houthis in cities like Taiz and Aden. Those local fighters are backed by the Saudi-led coalition, a reflection of the complexities of Yemen's conflict.___Associated Press writer Aya Batrawy contributed to this report from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Azerbaijan announces military exercises ahead of Nagorno-Karabakh talks-[Reuters]-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BAKU (Reuters) - Azerbaijan on Sunday announced joint military exercises with Georgia and Turkey, plans which are likely to raise tensions with neighboring Armenia a day before talks in Vienna over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.The territory, which lies inside Azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic Armenians, has run its own affairs with heavy military and financial backing from Armenia since a separatist war ended in 1994.A ceasefire agreed on April 5 after an outbreak of fighting has been violated every day, say locals."To increase the combat capabilities and combat readiness of the Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia, we deemed it worthwhile to carry out joint military exercises," Azeri Defense Minister Zakir Gasanov said on Sunday.It was not immediately clear when the exercises, which have also taken place in past years, would be carried out.A spokesman for the Armenian Defense Ministry did not comment on the implication of the exercises for Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.Several soldiers, from both sides, have been killed in exchanges of fire since the ceasefire was declared. An Azeri soldier was killed on Thursday near Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said on Friday.Armenia said its serviceman Aram Ohanyan died of wounds on Saturday after being shot by an Azeri sniper near southwestern Armenian border, in an incident unrelated to Nagorno-Karabakh.Both the Azeri and Armenian presidents, as well as diplomats from Russia, the United States and France, will meet in Vienna on Monday to discuss the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.(Reporting by Nailia Bagirova in Baku and Hasmik Mkrtchyan in Yeravan; Writing by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Ros Russell)
IS attack and bombings leave 29 dead across Iraq-[The Canadian Press]-Sinan Salaheddin, The Associated Press-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD - The Islamic State group launched a co-ordinated assault on a natural gas plant north of Baghdad that killed at least 14 people, while a string of other bomb attacks in or close to the capital killed 15 others, Iraqi officials said.The attack on the gas plant started at dawn with a suicide car bomber hitting the facility's main gate in the town of Taji, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Baghdad. Then several suicide bombers and militants broke into the plant and clashed with the security forces, an official said, adding that 27 troops were wounded.The IS-affiliated Aamaq news agency credited a group of "Caliphate soldiers" for the attack.In a statement, Deputy Oil Minister Hamid Younis said firefighters managed to control and extinguish a fire caused by the explosions. Younis said technicians were examining the damage.A car bomb targeting a shopping area in the town of Latifiyah, about 20 miles (30 kilometres) south of the capital, killed seven people, including two soldiers, police and hospital officials said. They said that 18 people were also wounded in the attack, four of whom were soldiers.Elsewhere in Baghdad, three separate bomb attacks targeted commercial areas, killing at least eight civilians and wounding 28 others, police added.Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.The Sunday attacks killed 29 people across Iraq. Since Wednesday, more than 140 people have been killed in a spate of bombings in Baghdad and elsewhere.IS extremists still control significant areas in northern and western Iraq, including the second-largest city of Mosul. It has declared an Islamic caliphate on the territory it holds in Iraq and Syria.The group has recently increased its attacks far from the front lines in a campaign that Iraqi officials say is an attempt to distract from their recent battlefield losses.___Associated Press writers Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Murtada Faraj in Baghdad and Maamoun Youssef in Cairo contributed to this report.
Striped bass mass death studied near Nova Scotia Power plant in Trenton-[CBC]-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
A new study investigating an unusual fish kill in Pictou Harbour, N.S., has found striped bass that congregate in warm waste water near the local power plant died of cold shock after the facility's turbines were shut down in the middle of winter. Striped bass were reclassified from a threatened to endangered species in 2012 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.Nova Scotia scientists examined 98 dead striped bass that were collected in January 2013 near the Trenton power plant several days after a suspected mass death. Researcher Michael Dadswell, a retired Acadia University professor, said the cold-shock event that killed the fish likely didn't have a major impact on the population of striped bass.But if striped bass have a low spawning season, he said die-offs from quick water temperature changes near the power station in winter can further endanger the population.Not unusual fish behavior-Dadswell said striped bass populations fluctuate from highs to lows every 30 years and aren't the only species that collect near warmer outflows and experience cold shock."There's quite few studies that have been done on Lake Ontario, on the atomic power plants, where the fish are drawn to the warm water outflow," he said. The dead bass were found 700 metres from the Trenton coal-fired plant, operated by Nova Scotia Power at the mouth of the East River.In an email, Nova Scotia Power spokeswoman Beverley Ware said the utility is aware bass "periodically congregate" near the plant. The company has "a screen in place that acts as a barrier to prevent the fish from getting past a certain part of the canal." -Cold shock-Freshwater is drawn from the East River to cool down steam used to turn the Trenton plant's turbines.The plant's regulated waste water is "returned to its source at a slightly elevated temperature," according to Nova Scotia Power's website.The Acadia study published in March, however, found that water temperatures near the facility fell from 12 C to below zero in less than 24 hours when the plant's power turbines were turned off for three days in early January 2013. Nova Scotia Power disputes the significance of those numbers. The listed temperatures aren't those of the outflow, Ware said, but rather the condenser temperatures inside the plant. "The water in the outfall does not abruptly cool down — it does not happen instantaneously," she said. "The warmer water from the plant would remain in the channel cooling slowly and there would still be a warmer area of water in the bay — also cooling to ambient."In essence, it sits there for a while and gradually cools down. Fish are very mobile so there's no certainty they would be there when this happens."Proving the fish were there-Dadswell, however, said the researchers could tell that the fish had been in the warmer water before their deaths, based on what they ate."During the winter, bass don't feed very much because of the cold water. They basically sort of semi-hibernate," he said.In the warm outflow, he said, "they were feeding on each other and feeding on small minnows that were also attracted to the area." For the first time, Dadswell said, the study helped prove that striped bass are cannibalistic like some other species. Young fish most susceptible-Striped bass only have one known spawning location, according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. They were deemed endangered after too much poaching, and recreational and commercial fishing. The Acadia study found that young and small bass were most at risk because they're smaller and can't withstand the cold shock as well as the larger adults.The study stated it's difficult to know how many striped bass died in 2013 because the fish were collected several days after the suspected cold-shock event. Scavengers may have cut down on the number. Dadswell said the solution to the problem is simple."All they have to do is not turn it off in the winter, when it's cold." Ware said there's only been one instance in 10 years that Nova Scotia Power has turned off both turbines at the same time in the winter. The utility also conducted a study in 2014, she said, that found no evidence marine life had been impacted since 1991.

Dozens of police and army vehicles rushed to the site where shooting lasted for about an hour, he said.Islamic State, which controls swathes of the country's north and west, has carried out a string of bombings this week that killed around 100 people.Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Saturday the militants were taking advantage of a political crisis in the country, sparked by his attempt to overhaul its quota-based governing system, to conduct bombings in areas under nominal government control.A U.S.-led coalition backing the Iraqi government in its fight against Islamic State has been training army forces for months at a military base located in Taji.Separate explosions in Baghdad's southern outskirts on Sunday left three people dead and 12 wounded, police sources said.(Additional reporting by Omar Fahmy in Cairo; writing by Stephen Kalin; editing by Jason Neely and John Stonestreet)
German politicians say Merkel left EU exposed to Turkish blackmail-[Reuters]-By Michelle Martin-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BERLIN (Reuters) - German politicians accused Chancellor Angela Merkel at the weekend of making Europe overly dependent on Turkey in the migrant crisis, leaving the bloc vulnerable to blackmail by President Tayyip Erdogan.Turkey, refusing to bow to European Union demands to rein in its broad anti-terror laws, said on Friday talks on a deal to provide visa-free travel in return for stopping illegal migrants reaching the EU had reached an impasse and the bloc must find a "new formula" to salvage the agreement.Merkel, whose popularity has suffered due to her liberal migrant policy that saw Germany take in more than one million migrants last year, had spearheaded EU efforts to secure the deal, signed in March.While the numbers of migrants have dropped sharply this year, Merkel continues to attract criticism from her conservative allies in Bavaria as well as the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD)."I'm not against talks with Turkey but I think it's dangerous to become so dependent on Ankara," said Horst Seehofer, leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU).Seehofer told Welt am Sonntag (WamS) that the deal with Turkey had helped boost support for AfD, which is currently polling at up to 15 percent.Sahra Wagenknecht of the opposition far-left Linke party told the same newspaper Merkel had essentially negotiated the deal without involving her European partners."The chancellor is therefore responsible for Europe having become vulnerable to being blackmailed by the authoritarian Turkish regime and for Erdogan feeling noticeably strengthened to crush human rights underfoot," she said.Cem Oezdemir, co-leader of the Greens party and the son of Turkish immigrants, also told WamS the deal had put Europe at risk of being blackmailed and said Merkel was largely to blame.While the EU is desperate for the deal to succeed, it also insists that Turkey meet 72 criteria, including anti-terror laws which it says Turkey uses to stifle dissent. Ankara says it needs sweeping legislation to fight Kurdish insurgents and Islamic State.Merkel is due to attend the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul on May 23 and there are plans for bilateral talks with other leaders in attendance, her spokesman said on Friday.Members of the Social Democrats (SPD), Merkel's junior coalition partner, also expressed concern.Carsten Schneider told WamS Merkel had made Erdogan the key to her refugee policy and if he stopped cooperating, "the extent of Germany's isolation in Europe will become clear again", while Thorsten Schaefer-Guembel said Merkel should not "kowtow" to Erdogan.But SPD Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Tagesspiegel newspaper Turkey was still the key country for migration to Europe, adding: "We need to cooperate to some extent if we want to avoid the circumstances we had last year."Merkel has drawn heavy criticism for allowing German prosecutors to pursue a case against a German comedian at the Turkish leader's behest. The comic had recited a sexually crude poem about Erdogan.(Reporting by Michelle Martin; Editing by Clelia Oziel)
Calgary conference aims to dispel Muslim myths-[CBC]-May 14, 2016-yahoonews
About 200 Calgarians attended a conference on Saturday with a goal of addressing Islamophobia through dialogue.The non-profit group "Think for Actions" organized the "Your Muslim Neighbour" day-long event.It covered many themes on how to get people of all faiths to respect each other.Mukarram Ali Zaidi, an assistant professor at University of Calgary, is one of the organizers.He says a recent survey the group did revealed numbers that might be surprising to some non-Muslims.Research indicates about 97 per cent of Muslims in Calgary identify as both proud Canadians and proud Muslims.Still, Zaidi says myths can sometimes be taken as facts by some people."We as Calgary Muslims are part of this beautiful fabric," Zaidi said."The myths are we are not integrated, we are not part of it and we don't care about the community. They are all [proving] to be wrong by the survey. We are proud Canadians, we are proud Muslims, we are giving to charity, we are volunteering, we are working elections, by all accounts we are completely integrated yet we still feel marginalized. It is really sad."That is why the conference — which organizers hope will become an annual event — is so important."The conference is a new forum for people to come and ask questions about Muslims, about Islam and about the myths about Muslims. We are opening up," Zaidi explained.Kohawar Khan attended the event.She says it's about having a conversation."We are going to get the communities, all communities within Calgary, to work together, to better integrate ourselves. I feel like it is going to create more solutions. There are a lot of people that have come out today, they are here for a cause," Khan said."There are questions and solutions ultimately."Ziad Paracha, also with the organizing group, says the survey shows Muslims are more integrated than it was thought."There is always a question of identity. Who we are? Where we come from? What are we doing here?" Paracha said."Their identity as Muslim Calgarians is that they are both Canadians and they are Muslims and they want to embrace that. They want to embrace the customs, the values and the things Canada has to offer them but at the same time be very proud in practicing their religion and being an integral and active member of their community."And organizers hope conferences like this one, are a step in that direction.
Suicide bombing kills 25 in southern Yemen-[The Canadian Press]-Ahmed Al-Haj, The Associated Press-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
SANAA, Yemen - A suicide bomber on Sunday detonated his explosives among policemen standing in line outside a police base in the southern Yemeni city of Mukalla, killing 25, security and health officials said. At least 17 more people were injured in the attack and the officials said the death toll was likely to rise further.The Yemeni affiliate of the extremist Islamist State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on social media networks by IS sympathizers.Sunday's victims were policemen returning to work for the first time since last month's recapture of Mukalla by forces loyal to the internationally-recognized government. The port city had been held for more than a year by Yemen's local al-Qaida affiliate.The victims also included young men applying for jobs with the city's local police, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.The IS group has been trying to gain a foothold in Yemen, where a war pitting the country's Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, against President Abed Rabbo Mansour's government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition, has left a security vacuum throughout parts of the country.The U.N. special envoy to Yemen said Sunday that the warring parties agreed to an exchange of 50 per cent of prisoners and detainees held by both sides before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start around June 6. Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed did not give a number for how many prisoners this deal would free.He was speaking to reporters in Kuwait, which is hosting U.N.-brokered negotiations to resolve the conflict. A truce, which began April 10, has mostly held despite multiple breaches by both sides. The U.N. envoy acknowledged in a statement late Saturday that the talks are showing progress "albeit at a relatively slow pace."Sunday's blast came a week after the IS in Yemen claimed responsibility for an explosion that struck a navy base in Mukalla, killing at least six soldiers.The IS affiliate in Yemen emerged during the country's ongoing civil war and has been striving to expand its footprint amid the turmoil gripping the impoverished country in the southern corner of the Arabian peninsula.Throughout its year-long rule of Mukalla, al-Qaida forged an alliance with local forces fighting the Houthis in cities like Taiz and Aden. Those local fighters are backed by the Saudi-led coalition, a reflection of the complexities of Yemen's conflict.___Associated Press writer Aya Batrawy contributed to this report from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Azerbaijan announces military exercises ahead of Nagorno-Karabakh talks-[Reuters]-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BAKU (Reuters) - Azerbaijan on Sunday announced joint military exercises with Georgia and Turkey, plans which are likely to raise tensions with neighboring Armenia a day before talks in Vienna over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.The territory, which lies inside Azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic Armenians, has run its own affairs with heavy military and financial backing from Armenia since a separatist war ended in 1994.A ceasefire agreed on April 5 after an outbreak of fighting has been violated every day, say locals."To increase the combat capabilities and combat readiness of the Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia, we deemed it worthwhile to carry out joint military exercises," Azeri Defense Minister Zakir Gasanov said on Sunday.It was not immediately clear when the exercises, which have also taken place in past years, would be carried out.A spokesman for the Armenian Defense Ministry did not comment on the implication of the exercises for Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.Several soldiers, from both sides, have been killed in exchanges of fire since the ceasefire was declared. An Azeri soldier was killed on Thursday near Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said on Friday.Armenia said its serviceman Aram Ohanyan died of wounds on Saturday after being shot by an Azeri sniper near southwestern Armenian border, in an incident unrelated to Nagorno-Karabakh.Both the Azeri and Armenian presidents, as well as diplomats from Russia, the United States and France, will meet in Vienna on Monday to discuss the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.(Reporting by Nailia Bagirova in Baku and Hasmik Mkrtchyan in Yeravan; Writing by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Ros Russell)
IS attack and bombings leave 29 dead across Iraq-[The Canadian Press]-Sinan Salaheddin, The Associated Press-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD - The Islamic State group launched a co-ordinated assault on a natural gas plant north of Baghdad that killed at least 14 people, while a string of other bomb attacks in or close to the capital killed 15 others, Iraqi officials said.The attack on the gas plant started at dawn with a suicide car bomber hitting the facility's main gate in the town of Taji, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Baghdad. Then several suicide bombers and militants broke into the plant and clashed with the security forces, an official said, adding that 27 troops were wounded.The IS-affiliated Aamaq news agency credited a group of "Caliphate soldiers" for the attack.In a statement, Deputy Oil Minister Hamid Younis said firefighters managed to control and extinguish a fire caused by the explosions. Younis said technicians were examining the damage.A car bomb targeting a shopping area in the town of Latifiyah, about 20 miles (30 kilometres) south of the capital, killed seven people, including two soldiers, police and hospital officials said. They said that 18 people were also wounded in the attack, four of whom were soldiers.Elsewhere in Baghdad, three separate bomb attacks targeted commercial areas, killing at least eight civilians and wounding 28 others, police added.Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.The Sunday attacks killed 29 people across Iraq. Since Wednesday, more than 140 people have been killed in a spate of bombings in Baghdad and elsewhere.IS extremists still control significant areas in northern and western Iraq, including the second-largest city of Mosul. It has declared an Islamic caliphate on the territory it holds in Iraq and Syria.The group has recently increased its attacks far from the front lines in a campaign that Iraqi officials say is an attempt to distract from their recent battlefield losses.___Associated Press writers Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Murtada Faraj in Baghdad and Maamoun Youssef in Cairo contributed to this report.
Striped bass mass death studied near Nova Scotia Power plant in Trenton-[CBC]-May 15, 2016-yahoonews
A new study investigating an unusual fish kill in Pictou Harbour, N.S., has found striped bass that congregate in warm waste water near the local power plant died of cold shock after the facility's turbines were shut down in the middle of winter. Striped bass were reclassified from a threatened to endangered species in 2012 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.Nova Scotia scientists examined 98 dead striped bass that were collected in January 2013 near the Trenton power plant several days after a suspected mass death. Researcher Michael Dadswell, a retired Acadia University professor, said the cold-shock event that killed the fish likely didn't have a major impact on the population of striped bass.But if striped bass have a low spawning season, he said die-offs from quick water temperature changes near the power station in winter can further endanger the population.Not unusual fish behavior-Dadswell said striped bass populations fluctuate from highs to lows every 30 years and aren't the only species that collect near warmer outflows and experience cold shock."There's quite few studies that have been done on Lake Ontario, on the atomic power plants, where the fish are drawn to the warm water outflow," he said. The dead bass were found 700 metres from the Trenton coal-fired plant, operated by Nova Scotia Power at the mouth of the East River.In an email, Nova Scotia Power spokeswoman Beverley Ware said the utility is aware bass "periodically congregate" near the plant. The company has "a screen in place that acts as a barrier to prevent the fish from getting past a certain part of the canal." -Cold shock-Freshwater is drawn from the East River to cool down steam used to turn the Trenton plant's turbines.The plant's regulated waste water is "returned to its source at a slightly elevated temperature," according to Nova Scotia Power's website.The Acadia study published in March, however, found that water temperatures near the facility fell from 12 C to below zero in less than 24 hours when the plant's power turbines were turned off for three days in early January 2013. Nova Scotia Power disputes the significance of those numbers. The listed temperatures aren't those of the outflow, Ware said, but rather the condenser temperatures inside the plant. "The water in the outfall does not abruptly cool down — it does not happen instantaneously," she said. "The warmer water from the plant would remain in the channel cooling slowly and there would still be a warmer area of water in the bay — also cooling to ambient."In essence, it sits there for a while and gradually cools down. Fish are very mobile so there's no certainty they would be there when this happens."Proving the fish were there-Dadswell, however, said the researchers could tell that the fish had been in the warmer water before their deaths, based on what they ate."During the winter, bass don't feed very much because of the cold water. They basically sort of semi-hibernate," he said.In the warm outflow, he said, "they were feeding on each other and feeding on small minnows that were also attracted to the area." For the first time, Dadswell said, the study helped prove that striped bass are cannibalistic like some other species. Young fish most susceptible-Striped bass only have one known spawning location, according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. They were deemed endangered after too much poaching, and recreational and commercial fishing. The Acadia study found that young and small bass were most at risk because they're smaller and can't withstand the cold shock as well as the larger adults.The study stated it's difficult to know how many striped bass died in 2013 because the fish were collected several days after the suspected cold-shock event. Scavengers may have cut down on the number. Dadswell said the solution to the problem is simple."All they have to do is not turn it off in the winter, when it's cold." Ware said there's only been one instance in 10 years that Nova Scotia Power has turned off both turbines at the same time in the winter. The utility also conducted a study in 2014, she said, that found no evidence marine life had been impacted since 1991.
