Netanyahu hails ‘breakthrough technology’ in discovery of Hamas attack tunnel-Liberman says under-border passage proves Gaza still a 'kingdom of terror,' but Israel not seeking escalation of hostilities-By Marissa Newman and Judah Ari Gross-OCT 30,17
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday hailed the IDF for destroying an attack tunnel from the Gaza Strip discovered inside Israeli territory, with the two leaders attributing its discovery to Israel’s new “breakthrough technology.”In remarks at the weekly Likud faction meeting, the prime minister said the long-rumored advanced technology to locate the attack tunnels had been utilized in the recent operation.“I told you many times before that we are developing breakthrough technology to deal with the tunnel threat,” said Netanyahu at the start of the meeting. “We are implementing it. Today, we located a tunnel and we destroyed it.”The prime minister said Israel holds Hamas responsible for all military action against Israel emanating from the Gaza Strip and “whoever hurts us, we hurt them.”Also hailing the “breakthrough technology,” Liberman warned that Israel would not tolerate incursions on its territory, while stressing that Israel was not seeking renewed conflict with Gazan terror groups.“I think the message is clear to all: We will not tolerate a breach of our sovereignty,” said Liberman at the start of the weekly Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting. “I emphasize that the explosion took place on our territory.”The tunnel extending from the Gazan city of Khan Younis, believed to have been dug after the 2014 war, “proves that despite the Palestinian reconciliation, the Gaza Strip remains a kingdom of terror,” the defense minister said, referring to ongoing negotiation between the rival Fatah and Hamas factions.“We have no interest in an escalation [in hostilities] and we have no intention of letting anyone hurt Israel’s sovereignty,” he added.In a statement, Education Minister Naftali Bennett also commented on the attack tunnel, which he described as a “serious violation of Israel’s sovereignty.”“Our enemies do not rest from their attempts to hurt the citizens of Israel. The IDF has learned from Operation Protective Edge and is using its intelligence, technology, engineering and operational abilities to stop such attempts and ensure the security of those living near Gaza. The neutralized tunnel is no longer a threat to the residents of the region,” said Bennett.Earlier, the military said the tunnel had been under surveillance for an extended period of time and was under active construction at the time of the demolition.The tunnel, which the IDF described as a “grave and unacceptable violation of Israeli sovereignty,” started in the Gazan city of Khan Younis, crossing under the border and approaching the Israeli community of Kissufim, the army said.“The tunnel was detonated from within Israel, adjacent to the security fence,” the military said in a statement.IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel was at least two kilometers away from the Israeli town and did not pose a threat to its residents. Liberman also said no Israelis were endangered by the tunnel.The demolition was carried out near the fence separating Israel from Gaza.The tunnel was discovered by a new, advanced piece of technology that was being used for the first time, Conricus told reporters. He would not specify what type of equipment was used.It was the third such tunnel that the military has said it’s destroyed since the 2014 Gaza war, known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge. However, the first two tunnels, which were demolished last year, were believed to be leftovers from the 2014 conflict, whereas the tunnel that was detonated on Monday was “in progress,” according to Conricus.The destruction of the tunnel was first reported by Palestinian media on Monday afternoon. The reports said it was carried out by airstrike.The IDF initially contradicted those reports, saying it was a “controlled demolition,” but Conricus later clarified that the military would not comment on what munitions were used.The IDF officers said it was not immediately clear who dug the tunnel, but that ultimately the Israeli army holds Hamas “accountable and responsible” as it is the governing figure in the Strip.Hamas did not immediately comment on the demolition.The news site Palestine Today, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, reported that a number of members from the group’s armed wing, Saraya Al-Quds, were incommunicado after the Israeli army destroyed the tunnel on Monday, but later in the day Hamas official media Al-Rai reported that three “resistance fighters” had been rescued.Additionally, the spokesperson for the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, Ashraf al-Qidre, said four people who were injured in the detonation were brought to the Strip’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital.Hamas official media Al-Rai reports that three “resistance fighters” were rescued after the Israeli army detonated an attack tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel.Additionally, the spokesperson for the Hamas-run Gaza health Ministry Ashraf al-Qidre says four injured by detonation of the tunnel were brought to the Strip’s al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital.Conricus would not comment on the dimensions of the tunnel, specifically its depth and length. The military could not confirm that the entire tunnel was destroyed.“The IDF does not intend to escalate the situation but stands prepared for a variety of scenarios,” the army said.The officer added that the “IDF is working above- and below-ground to thwart attempts to harm Israeli civilians and protect the relative calm in the area.”The IDF set up additional Iron Dome missile defense batteries in the area in case terror groups in the Strip fired rockets in response to the demolition.This summer, Israel began work on an underground barrier that is meant to counter attack tunnels. The army said the construction of the barrier was not connected to the discovery and demolition of Monday’s tunnel.Dov Lieber contributed to this report.
IDF destroys attack tunnel in Israeli territory built after 2014 war-Military says passage, dug from Gaza's Khan Younis, was under active construction, holds Hamas responsible-By Judah Ari Gross-OCT 30,17
The IDF on Monday “neutralized a terror tunnel” that was discovered inside Israeli territory near the Gaza Strip and is believed to have been dug after the 2014 war, the army said.The military said the tunnel had been under surveillance for an extended period of time and was under active construction at the time of the demolition.The tunnel, which the IDF described as a “grave and unacceptable violation of Israeli sovereignty,” started in the Gazan city of Khan Younis, crossing under the border and approaching the Israeli community of Kibbutz Kissufim, the army said.“The tunnel was detonated from within Israel, adjacent to the security fence,” the military said in a statement.IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel was approximately two kilometers away from the Israeli kibbutz. He said it did not pose a threat to the residents.The demolition was carried out near the fence separating Israel from Gaza.The tunnel was discovered by a new, advanced piece of technology that was being used for the first time, Conricus told reporters.

In fresh snub, UAE gives medals to all UNESCO members but Israel-Move follows ban on Israeli symbols at Abu Dhabi judo tourney; Jewish state's envoy to UN cultural arm slams 'dark mentality' of Emirates-By Raphael Ahren -OCT 30,17
The United Arab Emirates snubbed Israel again on Monday, when its diplomats handed out gifts to all delegations at the UN cultural agency except Israel.The incident came on the heels of UAE’s refusal last week to allow Israeli athletes to display the Israeli flag and play the national anthem at a judo tournament in Abu Dhabi. An Emirati judoka also refused to shake hands after losing to his Israeli competitor, although the country’s top judo official later apologized to his Israeli counterpart for the snub.At Monday’s opening of UNESCO’s 39th General Conference in Paris, the Emirati delegation placed a box containing a silver medal on the desk of each foreign delegation in honor of the UAE having sponsored the renovation of the conference hall. The medals bear a portrait of Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the deputy ruler of Dubai and finance minister of the UAE, who sponsored the renovations.No box, however, was placed on the desk of Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen.“The State of Israel has no need for gifts, but this ugly and uncivilized step, here in the world’s organization for culture and education, which follows the outrageous treatment of our judokas during the tournament in the UAE’s capital, shows how much hatred, incitement and dark mentality surround these people,” Shama-Hacohen said.Money can buy many things, but not reason and good manners, the Israeli diplomat added, quoting a Jewish proverb that says “Those who hate presents will live.”Shama-Hacohen said he plans to protest the UAE’s move with UNESCO’s outgoing director Irina Bokova.“There’s no room for boycotts, discrimination and politics in sport,” said Shama-Hacohen.He also said incoming UNESCO chief Audrey Azoulay will “hear from me at the first opportunity.”Last week, Israeli judokas won five medals — one gold and four bronze — at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam. Organizers refused to let the athletes display the Israeli flag and to play “Hatikva.” Instead, the Israeli judoka were officially competing under the International Judo Federation’s banner.In addition to the ban on Israeli national symbols, the UAE’s Rashad Almashjari refused to shake hands after losing to Israeli Tohar Butbul in the first round of the men’s lightweight (66-73 kg) category.Mohammad Bin Thaloub Al-Darei, president of the UAE’s Judo Federation, and Aref Al-Awani, another senior Emirates sports official, later apologized to Israeli Judo Association head Moshe Ponte over Almashjari’s refusal to shake hands with Butbul, according to a statement from the International Judo Federation.Darei and Awani “apologized because of the UAE athletes not shaking hands with the Israel athletes and also congratulated the Israel team for their success here,” IJF president Marius Vizer said. He called the move a “gesture of courage.”
In desert of Oman, a gateway to life on Mars-In preparation for space travel, would-be astronauts simulate life on red planet in Gulf country's harsh environment-By Alison Tahmizian Meuse-OCT 30,17
DHOFAR, Oman (AFP) — In sunglasses and jumpsuits, a crew of European test astronauts is laying the groundwork for a Mars simulation in the barren expanse of the Omani desert, a terrestrial mission intended to pave the way to the red planet.The “analog astronauts” of the Austrian Space Forum — a volunteer-based collective — have arrived in Oman to begin preparations for a four-week simulation mission due to begin next year.Touching down at Marmul Airport, a remote outpost used by oil workers, the five-person advance team loaded up on sunscreen and, with their Omani counterparts dressed in crisp white gowns and colorful turbans, boarded four-by-fours and plunged into the desert under the blazing sun.Oil installations receded into the background and only rocky plateaus and ancient sandy riverbeds remained as far as the eye could see. Maps were spread on the hoods of the vehicles.“We want to simulate Mars on Earth and so we need a place that looks as much like Mars as possible. And we found it here in Oman,” Alexander Soucek, the lead flight director of the AMADEE-18 mission, told AFP.The team was on a quest to pin down the location of the base camp for the simulation, to be held in February.“Here the humans coming from Earth will land after six months’ travel through space… Simulated, of course!” Soucek said upon arrival at the chosen site.“When we fly to Mars in reality, we will need as many questions as possible already answered so that we are really well prepared.”‘Sneak preview of the future’-During the mission, the team will carry out a series of experiments, from growing greens without soil in an inflatable hydroponic greenhouse to testing an autonomous “tumbleweed” rover, which maps out terrain while propelled by the wind.“There are very few groups on this planet testing these procedures and doing these high-fidelity simulations,” said Soucek. “We are one of them.”The team hopes the simulation will help nail down future tools and procedures for the first manned mission to Mars.Field commander Gernot Groemer predicts a Mars mission may be carried out by a collective of the United States, Russia, Europe and possibly China relatively soon — with the first human to set foot on the red planet maybe already born.“What we’re going to see here in about 100 days is going to be a sneak preview into the future,” said Groemer, describing a U-shaped encampment where “an exquisitely compiled suite of experiments” will take place.Those include experiments designed to test human factors that could affect pioneering astronauts, such as mental fatigue and depression.Just 15 people will enter the isolation phase, when their only way to troubleshoot snags will be through remote communication with “earth” in Austria.-Innovations for Earth-The total cost of the project is expected to be around half a million euros, covered mainly by private donations from industry partners.Critics of such space missions see the massive amounts of money as a luxury in a time of austerity measures in Europe and depressed oil prices in the Gulf.The Austrian Space Forum argues the money is not being “thrown into space” and that the tools being developed are not only useful for life on a distant planet but for our own.“Most people every day use a handful of space technologies without even knowing it,” said Groemer, listing off satellite imagery, fuel injection for cars and breast cancer screening software.On Monday the Austrian Space Forum signed a memorandum of understanding with Oman, making the sultanate’s selection as the mission site official.For the Omani Astronomical Society, which invited the Austrian Space Forum, the mission is a way to inspire the country’s youth.A series of lectures is taking place at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, geared especially toward hundreds of young students.Al-Khattab Ghalib Al Hinai, deputy head of the steering committee for AMADEE-18 and vice chairman of Oman’s State Council, says a high school team will even participate, conducting a geophysics experiment to find water.“The whole idea is to ignite imagination within the young society in Oman, female and male, and I hope this journey of discovery will help them to always search for the unknown,” the geologist said.“I hope to see astrophysicists in Oman, I hope to see geologists. I hope to see astronauts in the future.”
Bahrain convicts 19 Shiites as spies for Iran-Court finds group guilty of leaking information to Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah and receiving 'material support' from the two forces-By AFP-OCT 30,17
DUBAI — A Bahraini court on Monday sentenced 19 Shiites to lengthy jail terms on charges of spying for Iran and plotting to overthrow the regime, judicial sources said.Eight people were sentenced to life in prison, nine to 15 years in prison and two to 10 years in jail for espionage and inciting public dissent, according to a statement released by the counter-terrorism prosecutor’s office.Fifteen of those convicted were also stripped of Bahraini citizenship, the statement said.The court found the group guilty of leaking information to Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards and Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Hezbollah and of receiving “material support” from the two forces.They were also convicted of forming a cell to “incite the public against the government and call for regime change by force.”The prosecutor’s office said the 19 belonged to the Al-Wafaa Islamic movement, a little-known group which Bahraini authorities say is linked to the Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah.Speaking on condition of anonymity, a judicial source confirmed all 19 were Shiite Muslims.Dozens of Bahrainis have been jailed and stripped of citizenship since the 2011 outbreak of protests demanding an elected government in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.A key US ally and home to the US Fifth Fleet, Bahrain has tightened its grip on dissent since 2011, drawing harsh criticism from international rights groups for its treatment of the Shiite-majority population.In April, parliament gave approval for military courts to try civilians charged with “terrorism,” a vaguely defined legal term in the kingdom.Bahrain accuses Shiite Iran of training “terrorist cells” that aim to overthrow its government, an allegation Tehran denies.
CO₂ in atmosphere ‘surged’ to new high in 2016, UN says-Greenhouse Gas Bulletin finds carbon dioxide levels now match a time when the sea was 20 meters higher-By AFP and TOI staff-OCT 30,17
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere increased faster than ever last year and hit a new high, the UN said Monday, warning that drastic action is needed to achieve targets set by the Paris climate agreement.“Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surged at a record-breaking speed in 2016,” the World Meteorological Organization said.“Globally averaged concentrations of CO₂ reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00 ppm in 2015 because of a combination of human activities and a strong El Nino event,” it said, referring to a weather phenomenon that causes droughts, reducing the number of plants that can absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere.The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, the UN weather agency’s annual flagship report, tracks the content of dangerous gasses in the atmosphere in the post-industrial era (since 1750).The report also said that the last time Earth experienced similar CO₂ concentration rates was three to five million years ago, when the sea level was up to 20 meters (66 feet) higher than now.“It is the largest increase we have ever seen in the 30 years we have had this network,” Oksana Tarasova, chief of WMO’s global atmosphere watch program, told the BBC. “The largest increase was in the previous El NiƱo, in 1997-1998 and it was 2.7ppm and now it is 3.3ppm, it is also 50% higher than the average of the last ten years.”“Without rapid cuts in CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions, we will be heading for dangerous temperature increases by the end of this century, well above the target set by the Paris climate change agreement,” WMO chief Petteri Taalas said in a statement.The historic agreement approved by 196 countries two years ago is facing renewed pressure following US President Donald Trump’s decision to quit the accord.But nations are set to press on with the task of implementing it at climate talks in Bonn next week.“The numbers don’t lie. We are still emitting far too much and this needs to be reversed,” the head of UN Environment, Erik Solheim, said in a statement on the new report. “What we need now is global political will and a new sense of urgency.”The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin tracks concentrations of gases in the atmosphere, rather than emissions, with data compiled from a monitoring station in Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
Iran skips UN Abu Dhabi meet on nuclear power; it had been seated next to Israel-Organizers ask media to not photograph the Israeli delegation-By AP-OCT 30,17
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers may hang in the balance, but you wouldn’t know it at the United Nations conference on atomic energy held Monday in the United Arab Emirates.Iran decided to skip the Abu Dhabi conference, leaving its seats empty as Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, avoided speaking about the nuclear deal at all in his address at the venue.Iranian officials did not respond to a request for comment to discuss their decision to avoid the conference.Amano’s decision may have been tactical after visiting Tehran just the day before and telling journalists that Iran still honored the accord.Both the UAE and neighboring Saudi Arabia remain highly suspicious of the nuclear deal, which saw economic sanctions on Iran lifted in exchange for it limiting its enrichment of uranium. The two Gulf Arab countries say that new money flowing into Iran has aided its ability to back Shiite militias in Iraq and support embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.Also sharing that suspicion is Israel, which sent a delegation to the nuclear conference. The UAE, like many Arab countries, does not have diplomatic ties with Israel and remains opposed to its occupation of lands Palestinians want for a future state.Conference organizers asked journalists not to film the Israeli delegation.Israeli officials did not immediately return a request for comment. Their presence also nearly created a unique diplomatic conundrum, as conference organizers had seated them next to Iran.The Iran nuclear deal, struck in 2015, now faces one of its biggest threats. US President Donald Trump has declined to re-certify the deal, sending it to Congress to address.Trump’s refusal this month to re-certify the agreement has sparked a new war of words between Iran and the United States, fueling growing mistrust and a sense of nationalism among Iranians. The European Union, Britain and other parties in the deal have all encouraged Trump to keep the accord in place.

Netanyahu hails ‘breakthrough technology’ in discovery of Hamas attack tunnel-Liberman says under-border passage proves Gaza still a 'kingdom of terror,' but Israel not seeking escalation of hostilities-By Marissa Newman and Judah Ari Gross-OCT 30,17

The IDF on Monday “neutralized a terror tunnel” that was discovered inside Israeli territory near the Gaza Strip and is believed to have been dug after the 2014 war, the army said.The military said the tunnel had been under surveillance for an extended period of time and was under active construction at the time of the demolition.The tunnel, which the IDF described as a “grave and unacceptable violation of Israeli sovereignty,” started in the Gazan city of Khan Younis, crossing under the border and approaching the Israeli community of Kibbutz Kissufim, the army said.“The tunnel was detonated from within Israel, adjacent to the security fence,” the military said in a statement.IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel was approximately two kilometers away from the Israeli kibbutz. He said it did not pose a threat to the residents.The demolition was carried out near the fence separating Israel from Gaza.The tunnel was discovered by a new, advanced piece of technology that was being used for the first time, Conricus told reporters. He would not specify what type of equipment was used.It was the third such tunnel that the military has said it’s destroyed since the 2014 Gaza war, known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge. However, the first two tunnels, which were demolished last year, were believed to be leftovers from the 2014 conflict, whereas the tunnel that was detonated on Monday was “in progress,” according to Conricus.The destruction of the tunnel was first reported by Palestinian media on Monday afternoon. The reports said it was carried out by airstrike.The IDF initially contradicted those reports, saying it was a “controlled demolition,” but Conricus later clarified that the military would not comment on what munitions were used.The IDF officers said it was not immediately clear who dug the tunnel, but that ultimately the Israeli army holds Hamas “accountable and responsible” as it is the governing figure in the Strip.Hamas did not immediately comment on the demolition.The news site Palestine Today, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, reported that a number of members from the group’s armed wing, Saraya Al-Quds, were incommunicado after the Israeli army destroyed the tunnel on Monday.Conricus would not comment on the dimensions of the tunnel, specifically its depth and length. The military could not confirm that the entire tunnel was destroyed.“The IDF does not intend to escalate the situation but stands prepared for a variety of scenarios,” the army said.The officer added that the “IDF is working above- and below-ground to thwart attempts to harm Israeli civilians and protect the relative calm in the area.”The IDF set up additional Iron Dome missile defense batteries in the area in case terror groups in the Strip fired rockets in response to the demolition.This summer, Israel began work on an underground barrier that is meant to counter attack tunnels. The army said the construction of the barrier was not connected to the discover and demolition of Monday’s tunnel.Dov Lieber contributed to this report.
In fresh snub, UAE gives medals to all UNESCO members but Israel-Move follows ban on Israeli symbols at Abu Dhabi judo tourney; Jewish state's envoy to UN cultural arm slams 'dark mentality' of Emirates-By Raphael Ahren -OCT 30,17
The United Arab Emirates snubbed Israel again on Monday, when its diplomats handed out gifts to all delegations at the UN cultural agency except Israel.The incident came on the heels of UAE’s refusal last week to allow Israeli athletes to display the Israeli flag and play the national anthem at a judo tournament in Abu Dhabi. An Emirati judoka also refused to shake hands after losing to his Israeli competitor, although the country’s top judo official later apologized to his Israeli counterpart for the snub.At Monday’s opening of UNESCO’s 39th General Conference in Paris, the Emirati delegation placed a box containing a silver medal on the desk of each foreign delegation in honor of the UAE having sponsored the renovation of the conference hall. The medals bear a portrait of Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the deputy ruler of Dubai and finance minister of the UAE, who sponsored the renovations.No box, however, was placed on the desk of Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen.“The State of Israel has no need for gifts, but this ugly and uncivilized step, here in the world’s organization for culture and education, which follows the outrageous treatment of our judokas during the tournament in the UAE’s capital, shows how much hatred, incitement and dark mentality surround these people,” Shama-Hacohen said.Money can buy many things, but not reason and good manners, the Israeli diplomat added, quoting a Jewish proverb that says “Those who hate presents will live.”Shama-Hacohen said he plans to protest the UAE’s move with UNESCO’s outgoing director Irina Bokova.“There’s no room for boycotts, discrimination and politics in sport,” said Shama-Hacohen.He also said incoming UNESCO chief Audrey Azoulay will “hear from me at the first opportunity.”Last week, Israeli judokas won five medals — one gold and four bronze — at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam. Organizers refused to let the athletes display the Israeli flag and to play “Hatikva.” Instead, the Israeli judoka were officially competing under the International Judo Federation’s banner.In addition to the ban on Israeli national symbols, the UAE’s Rashad Almashjari refused to shake hands after losing to Israeli Tohar Butbul in the first round of the men’s lightweight (66-73 kg) category.Mohammad Bin Thaloub Al-Darei, president of the UAE’s Judo Federation, and Aref Al-Awani, another senior Emirates sports official, later apologized to Israeli Judo Association head Moshe Ponte over Almashjari’s refusal to shake hands with Butbul, according to a statement from the International Judo Federation.Darei and Awani “apologized because of the UAE athletes not shaking hands with the Israel athletes and also congratulated the Israel team for their success here,” IJF president Marius Vizer said. He called the move a “gesture of courage.”
In desert of Oman, a gateway to life on Mars-In preparation for space travel, would-be astronauts simulate life on red planet in Gulf country's harsh environment-By Alison Tahmizian Meuse-OCT 30,17
DHOFAR, Oman (AFP) — In sunglasses and jumpsuits, a crew of European test astronauts is laying the groundwork for a Mars simulation in the barren expanse of the Omani desert, a terrestrial mission intended to pave the way to the red planet.The “analog astronauts” of the Austrian Space Forum — a volunteer-based collective — have arrived in Oman to begin preparations for a four-week simulation mission due to begin next year.Touching down at Marmul Airport, a remote outpost used by oil workers, the five-person advance team loaded up on sunscreen and, with their Omani counterparts dressed in crisp white gowns and colorful turbans, boarded four-by-fours and plunged into the desert under the blazing sun.Oil installations receded into the background and only rocky plateaus and ancient sandy riverbeds remained as far as the eye could see. Maps were spread on the hoods of the vehicles.“We want to simulate Mars on Earth and so we need a place that looks as much like Mars as possible. And we found it here in Oman,” Alexander Soucek, the lead flight director of the AMADEE-18 mission, told AFP.The team was on a quest to pin down the location of the base camp for the simulation, to be held in February.“Here the humans coming from Earth will land after six months’ travel through space… Simulated, of course!” Soucek said upon arrival at the chosen site.“When we fly to Mars in reality, we will need as many questions as possible already answered so that we are really well prepared.”‘Sneak preview of the future’-During the mission, the team will carry out a series of experiments, from growing greens without soil in an inflatable hydroponic greenhouse to testing an autonomous “tumbleweed” rover, which maps out terrain while propelled by the wind.“There are very few groups on this planet testing these procedures and doing these high-fidelity simulations,” said Soucek. “We are one of them.”The team hopes the simulation will help nail down future tools and procedures for the first manned mission to Mars.Field commander Gernot Groemer predicts a Mars mission may be carried out by a collective of the United States, Russia, Europe and possibly China relatively soon — with the first human to set foot on the red planet maybe already born.“What we’re going to see here in about 100 days is going to be a sneak preview into the future,” said Groemer, describing a U-shaped encampment where “an exquisitely compiled suite of experiments” will take place.Those include experiments designed to test human factors that could affect pioneering astronauts, such as mental fatigue and depression.Just 15 people will enter the isolation phase, when their only way to troubleshoot snags will be through remote communication with “earth” in Austria.-Innovations for Earth-The total cost of the project is expected to be around half a million euros, covered mainly by private donations from industry partners.Critics of such space missions see the massive amounts of money as a luxury in a time of austerity measures in Europe and depressed oil prices in the Gulf.The Austrian Space Forum argues the money is not being “thrown into space” and that the tools being developed are not only useful for life on a distant planet but for our own.“Most people every day use a handful of space technologies without even knowing it,” said Groemer, listing off satellite imagery, fuel injection for cars and breast cancer screening software.On Monday the Austrian Space Forum signed a memorandum of understanding with Oman, making the sultanate’s selection as the mission site official.For the Omani Astronomical Society, which invited the Austrian Space Forum, the mission is a way to inspire the country’s youth.A series of lectures is taking place at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, geared especially toward hundreds of young students.Al-Khattab Ghalib Al Hinai, deputy head of the steering committee for AMADEE-18 and vice chairman of Oman’s State Council, says a high school team will even participate, conducting a geophysics experiment to find water.“The whole idea is to ignite imagination within the young society in Oman, female and male, and I hope this journey of discovery will help them to always search for the unknown,” the geologist said.“I hope to see astrophysicists in Oman, I hope to see geologists. I hope to see astronauts in the future.”
Bahrain convicts 19 Shiites as spies for Iran-Court finds group guilty of leaking information to Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah and receiving 'material support' from the two forces-By AFP-OCT 30,17
DUBAI — A Bahraini court on Monday sentenced 19 Shiites to lengthy jail terms on charges of spying for Iran and plotting to overthrow the regime, judicial sources said.Eight people were sentenced to life in prison, nine to 15 years in prison and two to 10 years in jail for espionage and inciting public dissent, according to a statement released by the counter-terrorism prosecutor’s office.Fifteen of those convicted were also stripped of Bahraini citizenship, the statement said.The court found the group guilty of leaking information to Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards and Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Hezbollah and of receiving “material support” from the two forces.They were also convicted of forming a cell to “incite the public against the government and call for regime change by force.”The prosecutor’s office said the 19 belonged to the Al-Wafaa Islamic movement, a little-known group which Bahraini authorities say is linked to the Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah.Speaking on condition of anonymity, a judicial source confirmed all 19 were Shiite Muslims.Dozens of Bahrainis have been jailed and stripped of citizenship since the 2011 outbreak of protests demanding an elected government in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.A key US ally and home to the US Fifth Fleet, Bahrain has tightened its grip on dissent since 2011, drawing harsh criticism from international rights groups for its treatment of the Shiite-majority population.In April, parliament gave approval for military courts to try civilians charged with “terrorism,” a vaguely defined legal term in the kingdom.Bahrain accuses Shiite Iran of training “terrorist cells” that aim to overthrow its government, an allegation Tehran denies.
CO₂ in atmosphere ‘surged’ to new high in 2016, UN says-Greenhouse Gas Bulletin finds carbon dioxide levels now match a time when the sea was 20 meters higher-By AFP and TOI staff-OCT 30,17
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere increased faster than ever last year and hit a new high, the UN said Monday, warning that drastic action is needed to achieve targets set by the Paris climate agreement.“Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surged at a record-breaking speed in 2016,” the World Meteorological Organization said.“Globally averaged concentrations of CO₂ reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00 ppm in 2015 because of a combination of human activities and a strong El Nino event,” it said, referring to a weather phenomenon that causes droughts, reducing the number of plants that can absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere.The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, the UN weather agency’s annual flagship report, tracks the content of dangerous gasses in the atmosphere in the post-industrial era (since 1750).The report also said that the last time Earth experienced similar CO₂ concentration rates was three to five million years ago, when the sea level was up to 20 meters (66 feet) higher than now.“It is the largest increase we have ever seen in the 30 years we have had this network,” Oksana Tarasova, chief of WMO’s global atmosphere watch program, told the BBC. “The largest increase was in the previous El NiƱo, in 1997-1998 and it was 2.7ppm and now it is 3.3ppm, it is also 50% higher than the average of the last ten years.”“Without rapid cuts in CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions, we will be heading for dangerous temperature increases by the end of this century, well above the target set by the Paris climate change agreement,” WMO chief Petteri Taalas said in a statement.The historic agreement approved by 196 countries two years ago is facing renewed pressure following US President Donald Trump’s decision to quit the accord.But nations are set to press on with the task of implementing it at climate talks in Bonn next week.“The numbers don’t lie. We are still emitting far too much and this needs to be reversed,” the head of UN Environment, Erik Solheim, said in a statement on the new report. “What we need now is global political will and a new sense of urgency.”The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin tracks concentrations of gases in the atmosphere, rather than emissions, with data compiled from a monitoring station in Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
Iran skips UN Abu Dhabi meet on nuclear power; it had been seated next to Israel-Organizers ask media to not photograph the Israeli delegation-By AP-OCT 30,17
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers may hang in the balance, but you wouldn’t know it at the United Nations conference on atomic energy held Monday in the United Arab Emirates.Iran decided to skip the Abu Dhabi conference, leaving its seats empty as Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, avoided speaking about the nuclear deal at all in his address at the venue.Iranian officials did not respond to a request for comment to discuss their decision to avoid the conference.Amano’s decision may have been tactical after visiting Tehran just the day before and telling journalists that Iran still honored the accord.Both the UAE and neighboring Saudi Arabia remain highly suspicious of the nuclear deal, which saw economic sanctions on Iran lifted in exchange for it limiting its enrichment of uranium. The two Gulf Arab countries say that new money flowing into Iran has aided its ability to back Shiite militias in Iraq and support embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.Also sharing that suspicion is Israel, which sent a delegation to the nuclear conference. The UAE, like many Arab countries, does not have diplomatic ties with Israel and remains opposed to its occupation of lands Palestinians want for a future state.Conference organizers asked journalists not to film the Israeli delegation.Israeli officials did not immediately return a request for comment. Their presence also nearly created a unique diplomatic conundrum, as conference organizers had seated them next to Iran.The Iran nuclear deal, struck in 2015, now faces one of its biggest threats. US President Donald Trump has declined to re-certify the deal, sending it to Congress to address.Trump’s refusal this month to re-certify the agreement has sparked a new war of words between Iran and the United States, fueling growing mistrust and a sense of nationalism among Iranians. The European Union, Britain and other parties in the deal have all encouraged Trump to keep the accord in place.
