Kim Jong Un praises nuclear program, promotes sister to center of power-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his nuclear weapons are a "powerful deterrent" which guarantee North Korea's sovereignty, state media reported on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said -only one thing will work- in dealing with the isolated country.Trump did not make clear to what he was referring, but his comments seemed to be a further suggestion that military action was on his mind.In a speech to a meeting of the powerful Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party on Saturday, a day before Trump's most recent comments, state media said Kim had addressed the "complicated international situation".North Korea's nuclear weapons are a "powerful deterrent firmly safeguarding the peace and security in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia," Kim said, referring to the "protracted nuclear threats of the U.S. imperialists."In recent weeks, North Korea has launched two missiles over Japan and conducted its sixth nuclear test, and may be fast advancing toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the U.S. mainland.North Korea is preparing to test-launch such a missile, a Russian lawmaker who had just returned from a visit to Pyongyang was quoted as saying on Friday.Donald Trump has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies.The situation proved that North Korea's policy of "byungjin", meaning the parallel development of nuclear weapons and the economy was "absolutely right", Kim Jong Un said in the speech."The national economy has grown on their strength this year, despite the escalating sanctions," said Kim, referring to U.N. Security Council resolutions put in place to curb Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.-SISTER PROMOTION-The meeting also handled some personnel changes inside North Korea's secretive and opaque ruling center of power, state media said.Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, was made an alternate member of the politburo - the top decision-making body over which Kim Jong Un presides.Alongside Kim Jong Un himself, the promotion makes the 30-year-old the only other millennial member of the influential body.Her promotion indicates the 28-year-old has become a replacement for Kim Jong Un's aunt, Kim Kyong Hee, who had been a key decision maker when former leader Kim Jong Il was alive."It shows that her portfolio and writ is far more substantive than previously believed and it is a further consolidation of the Kim family's power," said Michael Madden, a North Korea expert at Johns Hopkins University's 38 North website.In January, the U.S. Treasury blacklisted Kim Yo Jong along with other North Korean officials over "severe human rights abuses".Kim Jong Sik and Ri Pyong Chol, two of the three men behind Kim's banned rocket program, were also promoted.North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong Ho, who named Donald Trump "President Evil" in a bombastic speech to the U.N. General Assembly last month, was promoted to full vote-carrying member of the politburo."Ri can now be safely identified as one of North Korea's top policy makers," said Madden."Even if he has informal or off the record meetings, Ri's interlocutors can be assured that whatever proposals they proffer will be taken directly to the top," he said.(Reporting by James Pearson; Editing by Christian Schmollinger)
Trump says 'only one thing will work' with North Korea-[Reuters]-By Jeff Mason-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said "only one thing will work" in dealing with North Korea after previous administrations had talked to Pyongyang without results."Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid," Trump said in a tweet. "...Hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!"Trump did not make clear to what he was referring, but his comments seemed to be a further suggestion that military action was on his mind.The president has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies from Pyongyang's nuclear threats.Earlier this week, during a meeting with top U.S. military leaders and their spouses, Trump told reporters it was the "calm before the storm." Asked for clarification then on what he meant, Trump said: "You'll find out."Speaking to reporters on Saturday ahead of a trip to North Carolina, Trump said he had nothing more to clarify.White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders referred to Iran and North Korea the following day when asked about Trump's "calm before the storm" comments.Asked on Saturday about Trump's tweet, Sanders said she had nothing to add to the president's comments.The Pentagon referred a question for clarification to the White House and said the Defense Department's job was to "present the president military options and carry out orders."Trump repeatedly has made clear his distaste for dialogue with North Korea. On Sunday he dismissed the idea of talks as a waste of time, a day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington was maintaining open lines of communication with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's government.Trump said on Saturday that he had a good relationship with his secretary of state despite some disagreements."We have a very good relationship. We disagree on a couple of things. Sometimes I’d like him to be a little bit tougher, but other than that we have a very good relationship,” he said.A Russian lawmaker on Friday was quoted saying North Korea was preparing to test a long-range missile that it believes can reach the west coast of the United States. Anton Morozov, a member of the Russian lower house of parliament's international affairs committee, was part of a Russian delegation that visited Pyongyang from Oct. 2-6, according to Russian RIA news agency.North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs have driven up tensions in the region and around the world in recent months, particularly after it conducted a test explosion of what it said was a hydrogen bomb.(Additional reporting by Yeganeh Torbati and Valerie Volcovici; Editing by Paul Simao and Diane Craft)
Iran warns U.S. against designating Guards a terrorist group-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017

Nate makes 2nd landfall outside Biloxi, Mississippi-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Nate came ashore along Mississippi's coast outside Biloxi early Sunday, the first hurricane to make landfall in the state since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.The storm had maximum sustained winds early Sunday near 85 mph (140 kph) with weakening expected as it moves inland, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. As of 2 a.m. EDT, Nate was centred about 5 miles (10 kilometres ) north of Biloxi and moving north near at 20 mph (31 kph).At one point, Nate's eye move over Keesler Air Force Base, where the National Hurricane Center's hurricane hunter planes are kept, the centre said.It was Nate's second landfall. Saturday night, the storm came ashore along a sparsely populated area in southeast Louisiana.Nate's powerful winds pushed water onto roads and its winds knocked out power to homes and business. But Nate didn't have the intensity other storms — Harvey, Irma and Jose — had during this busy hurricane season, and people didn't seem as threatened by it. No deaths or injuries were immediately reported."We left for Katrina, but we're going to ride this one out," Ed Nodhturft said from his Ocean Springs home.He was hosting an impromptu family reunion after several relatives who were staying at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi were forced to leave the hotel and seek shelter at his home.During Katrina, Nodhturft's home took on 5 feet (1.5 metres ) of water from a coastal bayou. He's in a new house, and a little worried about flooding in the low-lying area where he lives.Hurricane Katrina made its final landfall on the Mississippi coast on Aug. 29, 2005, levelling many cities and buckling bridges. Casino barges were pushed into homes.John Adams is a Massachusetts native who now lives on Belle Fontaine Beach, a narrow strip of land between the Mississippi Sound and a coastal marsh. Every house on the spit was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina."This is my first hurricane," Adams said hours before the storm made landfall. "So far, it's kind of a fizzle."Katrina was the last hurricane that made a landfall on the Mississippi coast, although both Hurricane Gustav in 2008 and Hurricane Isaac in 2012 affected parts of the coast.Nate passed to the east of New Orleans, sparing the city its most ferocious winds and storm surge. Its quick speed lessened the likelihood of prolonged rain that would tax the city's weakened drainage pump system. The city famous for all-night partying was placed under a curfew, effective at 7 p.m., but the mayor lifted it about an hour after it had begun when it appeared the storm would pass by and cause little problem for the city.Still, the streets were not nearly as crowded as they typically are on a Saturday night and Mayor Mitch Landrieu asked people to shelter in place.Some bars were closed in the French Quarter but music blasted from others."I don't think it's going to be that bad, as far as a hurricane," said Michael Dennis of Atlanta.Cities along the Mississippi coast such as Gulfport and Biloxi were on high alert. Some beachfront hotels and casinos were evacuated, and rain began falling on the region Saturday. Forecasters called for 3 to 6 inches (7 to 15 centimetres ) with as much as 10 inches (25 centimetres ) in some isolated places.Nate weakened slightly and was a Category 1 storm with maximum winds of 85 mph (137 kph) when it made its first landfall in a sparsely populated area of Plaquemines (PLAK'-uh-minz) Parish.Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama declared states of emergency. The three states have been mostly spared during this hectic hurricane season."This is the worst hurricane that has impacted Mississippi since Hurricane Katrina," Mississippi Emergency Management Director Lee Smithson said Saturday. "Everyone needs to understand that, that this is a significantly dangerous situation."Officials rescued five people from two sailboats in choppy waters before the storm. One 41-foot sailboat lost its engine in Lake Pontchartrain and two sailors were saved. Another boat hit rocks in the Mississippi Sound and three people had to be plucked from the water.Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards urged residents to make final preparations quickly."It's going to hit and move through our area at a relatively fast rate, limiting the amount of time it's going to drop rain," Edwards said. "But this is a very dangerous storm nonetheless."Some people worried about New Orleans' pumping system, which had problems during a heavy thunderstorm on Aug. 5. The deluge exposed system weaknesses - including the failure of some pumps and power-generating turbines - and caused homes and businesses to flood. Repairs have been made but the system remained below maximum pumping capacity.On Alabama's Dauphin Island, water washed over the road Saturday on the island's low-lying west end, said Mayor Jeff Collier. The storm was projected to bring storm surges from seven to 11 feet near the Alabama-Mississippi state line. Some of the biggest impacts could be at the top of funnel-shaped Mobile Bay.Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents of the Panhandle to prepare for Nate's impact."Hurricane Nate is expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, strong winds and tornados that could reach across the Panhandle," Scott said. The evacuations affect roughly 100,000 residents in the western Panhandle.The Pensacola International Airport announced it was closing at 6 p.m. Saturday and remain closed Sunday. However, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was open Saturday.Nate killed at least 21 people in Central America.___Associated Press writer Kim Chandler in Alabama and Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, contributed to this report.Janet McConnaughey, Melinda Deslatte And Jeff Amy, The Associated Press
Hurricane Nate closes in on Mississippi, eyes 2nd landfall-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Nate came ashore on a sparsely populated area at the mouth of the Mississippi River on Saturday and closed in on Mississippi, pelting the central Gulf Coast region with strong winds and heavy rains.Nate was forecast to make its second landfall near Biloxi, Mississippi, and threatened to inundate homes and businesses.The centre of the storm passed to the east of New Orleans, sparing the city its most ferocious winds and storm surge. And its quick speed lessened the likelihood of prolonged rain that would tax the city's weakened drainage pump system.The city famous for all-night partying was placed under a curfew, effective at 7 p.m., but the mayor lifted it when it appeared the storm would cause little problems for the city.

Forecasters had said it was possible that it could strengthen to a Category 2, but that seemed less likely as the night wore on.Storm surge threatened low-lying communities in southeast Louisiana, eastward to the Alabama fishing village of Bayou la Batre."If it floods again, this will be it," said Larry Bertron as said as he and his wife prepared to leave their home in the Braithwaite community of vulnerable Plaquemines Parish. The hurricane veterans lost one home to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and left the home they rebuilt after Hurricane Isaac in 2012.Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama declared states of emergency. The three states have been mostly spared during this hectic hurricane season."This is the worst hurricane that has impacted Mississippi since Hurricane Katrina," Mississippi Emergency Management Director Lee Smithson said Saturday.

"But this is a very dangerous storm nonetheless."Streets in low-lying areas of Louisiana were already flooded. Places outside of levee protections were under mandatory evacuation orders and shelters opened there.Some people worried about New Orleans' pumping system, which had problems during a heavy thunderstorm on Aug. 5.

The storm was projected to bring storm surges from seven to 11 feet near the Alabama-Mississippi state line. Some of the biggest impacts could be at the top of funnel-shaped Mobile Bay.With Nate marching to a second landfall on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, gauges showed tides are 4 feet above normal from Shell Beach, Louisiana, east of New Orleans, to Bayou La Batre, Alabama, southwest of Mobile. In Mississippi, Hancock County Emergency Management Director Brian Adam said his agency received reports of rising water on low-lying streets facing the Mississippi Sound and the Bay of St. Louis. In Biloxi, authorities reported water from Biloxi Bay rising on some streets.The window for preparing "is quickly closing," Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Hastings said.Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents of the Panhandle to prepare for Nate's impact."Hurricane Nate is expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, strong winds and tornados that could reach across the Panhandle," Scott said.

The storm was expected to quickly weaken as it cuts a path through the Southeast on its way to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, which could see impacts from Nate early next week.Nate killed at least 21 people after strafing Central America.In New Orleans, ahead of Saturday night's curfew, some bars were closed in the French Quarter but music blasted from others."We're down here from Philly and we're not going to just stay in our hotel room," said Kelly Howell, who was drinking with friends at The Bourbon Street Drinkery.___Associated Press writer Kim Chandler in Alabama and Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, contributed to this report.Janet McConnaughey, Melinda Deslatte And Jeff Amy, The Associated Press.

Spain's PM says may use constitution to block Catalan independence-[Reuters]-By Raquel Castillo and Sam Edwards-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Saturday he would not rule out using the constitutional powers to remove Catalonia's autonomous status if it claimed independence as tens of thousands took to the streets to call for talks.The wealthy northeastern region of Catalonia, with its own language and culture, held a referendum on Oct. 1 on independence, in defiance of the Spanish constitutional court which had ruled the vote illegal.Until now, Rajoy has remained vague on whether he would use article 155, the so-called nuclear option, of the constitution which enables him to sack the regional government and call a fresh local election.In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais on Saturday Rajoy was asked if he was ready to trigger the article 155 of the constitution, and said: "I don't rule out absolutely anything that is within the law ... Ideally, it shouldn't be necessary to implement extreme solutions but for that not to happen things would have to be changed."Tens of thousands of people gathered across Spain earlier on Saturday as Catalonia prepared to declare independence from the rest of the country, many dressed in white and calling for talks to defuse Spain's worst political crisis for decades.The Catalan authorities say around 90 percent of those who voted supported a split from Spain. Madrid says secession is illegal under the Spain's 1978 constitution. Residents of Catalonia who oppose secession largely boycotted the vote.The crisis is a political test for Rajoy, who has been uncompromising. Some 900 people were injured during the vote when police tried to disrupt voting, firing rubber bullets and charging crowds with truncheons.The political stand-off has divided the country, pushed banks and companies to move their headquarters outside Catalonia and shaken market confidence in the Spanish economy, prompting calls from the European Commission for Catalan and Spanish leaders to find a political solution."I hope that the Catalonia that makes pacts, is moderate and for many years contributed to Spain's economic growth and improvement in welfare and wealth returns. It can't be in the hands of extremists, the radicals and the (far-left secessionist party) CUP," he said.However, Rajoy ruled out using mediators to resolve the crisis and also said the issue would not force a snap national election.-PEACEFUL PROTESTS-In peaceful protests called across 50 Spanish cities on Saturday morning, thousands gathered dressed in white and carrying banners calling for peace and dialogue between leaders.In Barcelona, protesters chanted "let's talk" in Catalan, while many carried signs criticizing political leaders for not finding a diplomatic solution to the impasse."This is producing a social rupture in Catalonia and this has to be resolved through dialogue, never via unilateralism," Jose Manuel Garcia, 61, an economist who attended the protest dressed in white said."I'm very worried. This will end badly and everyone will lose (without dialogue)."While Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has said he is open to mediation, Rajoy has demanded he give up the independence campaign before discussions can be held.In Madrid thousands gathered beneath the enormous Spanish flag in Colon Plaza waving their own flags, singing and chanting "Viva España" and "Viva Catalonia"."I've come because I feel very Spanish and makes me very sad what's happened," said Rosa Borras, 47, an unemployed secretary who had joined a noisy gathering in central Madrid.Borras, wearing a "Catalonia, we love you" sticker and surrounded by thousands waving Spanish flags, added: "I wanted to be here for unity, because I also feel very Catalan. My family lives in Catalonia."-EU CONCERN-Rajoy's government mobilized thousands of national police to stop Sunday's vote, leading to clashes with would-be voters as they tried to close polling stations in schools and remove ballot boxes.In the El Pais interview, Rajoy said the around 4,000 extra police shipped in to the region would stay until the conflict had been resolved.The police violence drew widespread condemnation and forced the government to issue an apology on Friday, although tensions continued to rise after reports of plans for the Catalan parliament to vote on a unilateral declaration of independence on Tuesday.The crisis has also caused disquiet among Spain's European Union partners, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has discussed it with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, an EU official told Reuters. [L8N1MI08F] Concern is growing in EU capitals about the impact of the crisis on the Spanish economy, the fourth largest in the euro zone, and on possible spillovers to other economies.European finance ministers, gathering in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday for a regular meeting, could discuss the issue, although it is not formally on the agenda, EU officials said.The support given in public statements by EU leaders to Rajoy is combined with concern expressed in private about how the Spanish government's use of police to prevent Catalans from voting last week in the independence referendum could backfire.Some EU states are worried that talk of Catalan independence could fuel secessionist feelings in other parts of Europe.(Reporting by Raquel Castillo and Paul Day; Writing by Paul Day; Editing by Alexander Smith and Peter Graff)
Investigation-EU police forces copy Israeli online 'predictive policing'-By Staffan Dahllof, Orr Hirschauge, Hagar Shezaf, Jennifer Baker and Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER-6. Oct, 17:47
EU-wide counter-terror rules are paving the way to allow authorities to crack down on people before any crime has been committed.Also known as a predictive policing, the move is raising serious fundamental rights issues, as people innocent of any wrongdoing may end up falsely accused or arbitrarily detained.Such tactics are already being employed by Israeli security services on Palestinians, sometimes with devastating consequences for victims and their families.But with the recent spate of terrorist attacks across Europe, the prospects for predictive policing are becoming more enticing for security services, amid broader EU moves that also appear to restrict online freedom.In March, member states adopted a directive on combating terrorism - an EU-wide law on blocking access to websites that aim to provoke the public to commit a terrorist offence.A vague definition of terrorism, including its "glorification", is being used detain people.Spain issued 27 convictions last year alone - up from 19 in 2015 - on the basis of terrorist glorification.Among them is Cesar Montana Lehman, a rapper also known as Cesar Strawberry. A Spanish court jailed him earlier this year following a series of tweets from 2013.The tweets, which Lehman described as humorous, included a comment that he wanted to send the Spanish king a "cake-bomb" for his birthday.Lehman says there was no intention to commit actual acts of terrorism. But the Supreme Court ruled that intention was "irrelevant."Similar stories have emerged elsewhere, with France now normalising its state of emergency and giving police extra powers to detain people without search warrants.Last year, a 22-year old was given a six month jail sentence for consulting the website on terrorism by an US academic who works for a Washington-based think tank.Dozens of European intelligence agencies at the Dutch-led Counter-Terrorism Group (CTG) have also since launched an "interactive operative real-time information system" to track people suspected of being "jihadist troublemakers".The new EU directive on combating terrorism follows a voluntary code of conduct drawn up by the European Commission and signed by major IT companies Microsoft, YouTube and Twitter in 2015.The code obliges companies to review content flagged up as hate speech and incitement to violence within 24 hours and to take action.-Multiple tools and approaches-A so-called EU Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU) was set up in mid-2015 within the EU's Hague-based police agency, Europol, to help inform the internet firms of illegal content.A year after its launch, internet platforms had removed over 91 percent of the unit's 11,000 referred messages. The year after 82 percent of its 20,548 referrals were removed.But the figures don't reveal how many of the referrals to member states led to the opening of an investigation. When pressed, the EU IRU is unable to respond.The EU commission doesn't know either. Instead, the Brussels executive, as of last month, is telling firms to automate the removal and detection of the offending content without proper oversight.Jan Ellermann, a senior specialist in the Europol Data Protection Office, explains in an article "Terror won't kill the privacy star" in the magazine ERA Forum published by the Academy of European Law, that the EU IRU is able to conduct further investigations."The EU IRU is not restricted to the referrals as such but has the possibility to conduct further analysis within the scope of Europol's mandate, i.e. to prevent and combat serious crime and terrorism," he writes.As for the toolkit used, Ellermann notes that Europol is looking into multiple tools and approaches in order to crawl and harvest online content.This includes conducting real time data correlation as well as real-time trends monitoring and custom application programming interface (API) data harvesting scripts, he said."For the purpose of more in-depth analysis of information obtained from publicly available sources including social media, Europol is also looking into tools for 'fingerprinting' voices, face recognition technology as well as audio to text converters with the ability to subsequently translate e.g. Arabic texts into English," he said.When asked if such automated decision-making practices is in line within the legal framework for Europol, Ellermann replies that is the case.-The Danish case-In Denmark, lawmakers have amended and pushed through laws that allow police to cast wide data nets.Last year, Denmark's national police, Rigspolitiet, purchased the POL-INTEL platform from the American software company Palantir Technologies, as reported by Danish daily Information.Palantir Technologies was behind XKeyscore, one of the more intrusive tools used by US National Security Agency.POL-INTEL combines and analyses information from different sources such as police databases, social media, CCTV-cameras in public areas and automated number plate recognition operated by traffic patrols, paving the way to predict a crime before any offence have been committed.After its purchase, Danish lawmakers amended national laws on personal data. They also adopted a new law on blocking homepages. Both allowed police to make full use of the platform.If, or when, so-called 'Facebook arrests' are carried out in EU member countries this will be regulated on a national level.In Denmark, the legal situation is anything but transparent for citizens, notes professor Henrik Udsen at Copenhagen University, in a memo published by thinktank Justitia.Furthermore the surveillance of Danish citizens on the net makes use of data retention rules based on a EU directive from 2006, which has been deemed in breach of fundamental rights by the EU-court in Luxembourg.The Court annulled the directive in 2014 for all member countries. This has created a legal vacuum, which has yet not been filled.Predictive policing is not entirely new to member states. Chris Jones, a researcher for the London-based civil group Statewatch, has mapped out its use by British police forces.These programs aim to predict where crimes in geographical zones are likely to take place. They do not single out possible suspect.But social media changes this picture.Now software programmes combine updates and comments on platforms like Facebook, public data sources, crime statistics, and CCTV- monitoring.Predictive policing can then be targeted on an individual level, as is extensively done by Israel on the occupied area of the West Bank.-The Israelis – 'before they know themselves'-Suad Zariquat, a 29-year-old Palestinian from a village outside Hebron was arrested and handed a screenshot of a Facebook post featuring a picture of her husband, killed in a car crash with the text, "May God unite us in heaven.""I told the investigator we use the word 'shahda' (from "shahid", Arabic for "martyr") regularly. The fact that I wrote it on Facebook doesn't mean I'll do anything, even when someone dies in a car accident we call him shahid," she said.Following the interrogation Zariqat was issued with a four-month administrative detention order – detention without trial that is used as pre-emptive detention by Israel, mostly against Palestinians in the West Bank.Israel's Intelligence Affairs Minister Yisrael Katz – who also serves as a member of the security cabinet – confirmed at his office in Tel Aviv that there is a possibility some Palestinians, arrested after having been marked out by the predictive system, were not actively and fully planning to carry out an attack - and perhaps did not decide to carry out an attack at the time of their arrest. Katz says this may happen in "borderline cases.""Because of the unique system that was developed and put into operation here, hundreds of cases of attacks of this sort have been prevented. In the dilemma of whether or not to act – it could be that you also include borderline cases here," Katz added.After a peak of 80 attempted attacks in October 2015, the number of attacks has since steadily declined. Since April 2016, the number of attempts has dropped to less than 20 a month, according to Israeli foreign ministry data."Arrests were made, terror attacks went down, that means these are the folks, no way around it. Statistically, these are the right people. If we missed this way or that way in a few cases? The cause is deserving (the means) – preventing terror attacks. It is not as if someone invented a way to haunt someone on Facebook," according to Katz.-A European connection-These Israeli experiences from the West Bank have not passed unnoticed by EU authorities.In meetings with Israeli officials in 2016, the EU's counterterrorism coordinator, Gilles de Kerchove, expressed interest in adopting Israeli technologies, similar to the software platforms provided by US-based Palantir.De Kerchove discussed at length the EU's plan to battle online incitement and its difficulty in finding enough speakers of Middle Eastern languages to manually monitor content.In practice European police forces have gained the same tactics and similar rights to use them as the Israeli forces have in the occupied areas of Palestine.Such use in the EU either falls outside the scope of European fundamental rights, or is in breach of these rights, as is the case with data retention.A new EU general data regulation, to be applied from 25 May 2018, carries a clear exemption for foreign and security matters – article 2.2 (a) and (b).In foreign and security matters the EU has no legislative competence.A version of this article appeared in Haaretz Magazine May 31 2017.

Canadian man pleads guilty to terrorism in plot targeting NYC landmarks: unsealed records-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 6, 2017
A 19-year-old Mississauga, Ont., man is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to terrorism offences in a 2016 plot to detonate bombs in New York City.The charges against Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy were made public Friday when the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of New York) revealed the details of the plan that allegedly included detonating bombs in Times Square and in the New York subway system, as well as shootings at various concert venues.According to the unsealed information, El Bahnasawy purchased bomb-making materials and helped secure a cabin within driving distance of the city for the purpose of building explosive devices.Two others, Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen living in Pakistan, and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippine citizen, were also charged in connection with the alleged plot. The two were arrested outside of the U.S. and the hope, according to the release, is that they will be extradited to the U.S. for prosecution.In an interview with CBC News, El Bahnasawy's lawyer Sabrina Shroff stressed his young age and called him "vulnerable.""It's a very difficult situation undoubtedly — not just for him but also for his entire family," Shroff said.'These Americans need an attack'El Bahnasawy, who has been in custody since his arrest by the FBI in May 2016, pleaded guilty on Oct. 13, 2016. He is the only one of the three to have pleaded guilty so far.According to the allegations, El Bahnasawy and Haroon plotted to carry out the attacks in support of ISIS during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.In preparing for the attacks, the two communicated electronically with an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS supporter.In the course of their communication, they allegedly declared their allegiance to ISIS and expressed their intent to carry out attacks resembling the recent Paris and Brussels attacks."These Americans need an attack," El Bahnasawy allegedly stated to the officer, saying he aspired "to create the next 9/11."El Bahnasawy allegedly told the undercover officer that he was in contact with an ISIS affiliate about attack plans officially sanctioned by a branch of ISIS active in Pakistan, and introduced Haroon to the agent.In May 2016, El Bahnasawy, while in Canada, purchased an "array of bomb-making materials," including 18 kilograms of hydrogen peroxide, a key ingredient in making improvised explosive devices. Batteries, thermometers, aluminum foil and Christmas lights were also purchased.'A day that will change history'That same month, El Bahnasawy informed the agent that he had been in communication with Salic, known to him as "Abu Khalid" and "the doctor," about acquiring more funding for the attacks. El Bahnasawy provided the man's contact information to the agent to facilitate the transfer.On May 11, $423 US was sent from the Philippines to help fund the plan, the U.S. Justice Department says.Meanwhile, El Bahnasawy shipped the bomb-making materials to the United States and allegedly told the agent he wanted to practice shooting at the cabin, which would need refrigeration for the purpose of making explosives.On May 12, the undercover agent sent Salic a photo of the hydrogen peroxide purchased by El Bahnasawy. It's alleged the man expressed to the agent that he would pray for the success of the attack.On May 20, Haroon deemed Times Square the "perfect spot" for the attack, the release alleges. In the course of his communications with the agent, the man allegedly discussed attacking as early as Memorial Day (May 30, 2016), saying, "that's a day that will change history."Public never at risk, RCMP says-El Bahnasawy travelled to the New York City area on May 21, 2016, in preparation for staging and ultimately carrying out the attacks, allegedly with Haroon.U.S. law enforcement monitored the trip in co-ordination with Canadian law enforcement and El Bahnasawy was arrested that night in Cranford, N.J. The two others were subsequently arrested — one in Pakistan and the other in the Philippines.El Bahnasawy pleaded guilty last October to seven charges, including: - Conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. - Conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries. - Conspiring to bomb a place of public use and public transport. - Conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. - Attempted provision and provision of material support and resources to terrorists. - Conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, i.e., ISIS. - Attempted provision and provision of material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, i.e., ISIS.He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12, 2017.Asked if El Bahnasawy will appeal, Shroff would not confirm but did say, "In every terrorism case in which the United States plays some role, there's always a concern about the length an undercover [agent] will go."In a statement to CBC News Friday, the RCMP said that at no time was the safety or security of the public at risk during the investigation."Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy is a Canadian citizen who was part of an international plot to commit terrorist attacks in the United States and the charges are a direct result of his involvement and role," the statement said.
Turkish military vehicles enter Syria's Idlib: sources-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Turkish military vehicles entered Syria's Idlib province on Sunday under escort from the Tahrir al-Sham jihadist alliance, a resident of the Syria-Turkey border area and a local rebel said.They both said they saw several vehicles carrying Turkish forces entering Idlib at the Atmah crossing before Tahrir al-Sham fighters escorted them along a road.On Saturday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Syrian rebels backed by Turkish forces would launch an operation in that area, which is mostly controlled by Tahrir al-Sham.On Sunday, a war monitor reported clashes between Turkish forces and the jihadists.The incursion follows a deal between Turkey and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's allies Russia and Iran to impose a "de-escalation" zone in Idlib and surrounding areas to reduce warfare there, an agreement that did not include Tahrir al-Sham.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the clashes took place near the village of Kafr Lusin in Idlib.Tahrir al-Sham is spearheaded by the former Nusra Front, which was al Qaeda's Syrian branch until last year, when it changed its name and broke formal allegiance to the global movement founded by Osama bin Laden.(Reporting By Angus McDowall; Editing by Greg Mahlich and John Stonestreet)
Syrian army encircles IS in al-Mayadin: Syrian military source-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's army and its allies have encircled Islamic State in the city of al-Mayadin, southeast of Deir al-Zor, in eastern Syria, a Syrian military source said on Sunday.Al-Mayadin is one of the last strongholds of Islamic State as it falls back upon the fertile area downstream of Deir al-Zor in the Euphrates valley and launches counter attacks in the central desert after losing swathes of territory this year."Units of our armed forces with the allied forces continue their advance on a number of fronts and axes in Deir al-Zor and its countryside... and encircle Daesh terrorists in the city of al-Mayadin," the military source said.The army and its allies reached Deir al-Zor in September after a months-long offensive across the Syria desert, and have in recent weeks pushed down the Euphrates towards al-Mayadin.However, counter attacks by Islamic State in the central desert region have put pressure on the main supply road to Deir al-Zor from western Syria.Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is backed in the war by Russia, Iran and Shi'ite militias including Lebanon's Hezbollah, and its campaign against Islamic State has mostly been on the west bank of the river.A U.S.-led coalition is also supporting a rival campaign against the jihadists, mostly on the east bank, where it is close to recapturing Raqqa, and has also advanced downstream to hold areas opposite Deir al-Zor.U.S. officials have previously said that Islamic State had relocated some of its diminished command and propaganda structures to al-Mayadin as it was forced from territory elsewhere.(Reporting by Angus McDowall; Editing by Greg Mahlich)
In Vegas, Pence praises US resolve to find hope after horror-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
LAS VEGAS — Vice-President Mike Pence praised the heroic response by police and the resolve of the American people at a prayer service Saturday in Las Vegas before organizers released 58 white doves in memory of each victim killed in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.At the same time, federal agents started hauling away piles of backpacks, baby strollers and lawn chairs left behind by fleeing concertgoers who scrambled to escape raining bullets from a gunman who was shooting from his high-rise hotel suite."It was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions," Pence said as he addressed nearly 300 people at Las Vegas City Hall. "Those we lost were taken before their time, but their names and their stories will forever be etched into the hearts of the American people."Investigators have remained stumped about what drove gunman Stephen Paddock, a reclusive 64-year-old high-stakes video poker player, to begin shooting at the crowd at a country music festival from his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay hotel suite last Sunday, killing 58 and wounding hundreds before taking his own life.Investigators believe a note found on a nightstand in Paddock's hotel room contained a series of numbers that helped him calculate a more precise aim, accounting for the trajectory of shots being fired from that height and the distance between his room and the concert, a law enforcement official said Saturday. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the details of the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.The unity service Saturday afternoon came after dozens of people — many wearing shirts that said "Vegas Strong" — marched from Mandalay Bay to City Hall. After speeches from Pence and other politicians, doves were released into the air, flying in a wide arc and then disappearing into the distance as someone shouted, "God bless America!""On Sunday night, Las Vegas came face-to-face with pure evil, but no evil, no act of violence, will ever diminish the strength and goodness of the American people," Pence said. "In the depths of horror, we will always find hope in the men and women who risk their lives for ours."Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman told the audience that the focus needs to remain on the victims, not "that horrific senseless animal."Lisa Rhoads-Shook, whose brother-in-law was inside the Mandalay Bay when the shooting broke out, said she wanted to attend the unity service to be part of the conversation about change."I'm so sad and it's not fair, really, for us to experience another avoidable tragedy. We have to acknowledge that there is no better time to talk about gun control," she said. "I don't think the Founding Fathers wanted the right to bear arms to become the right to build an arsenal in your home."Investigators have chased 1,000 leads and examined Paddock's politics, finances, any possible radicalization and his social behaviour — typical investigative avenues that have helped uncover the motive in past shootings. But Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said there's still no clear motive.What officers have found is that Paddock planned his attack meticulously.He requested an upper-floor room overlooking the festival, stockpiled 23 guns, a dozen of them modified to fire continuously like an automatic weapon, and set up cameras inside and outside his room to watch for approaching officers.___For complete coverage of the Las Vegas shooting, click here: https://apnews.com/tag/LasVegasmassshooting .Michael Balsamo And Amanda Lee Myers, The Associated Press.

Kim Jong Un praises nuclear program, promotes sister to center of power-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his nuclear weapons are a "powerful deterrent" which guarantee North Korea's sovereignty, state media reported on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said -only one thing will work- in dealing with the isolated country.Trump did not make clear to what he was referring, but his comments seemed to be a further suggestion that military action was on his mind.In a speech to a meeting of the powerful Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party on Saturday, a day before Trump's most recent comments, state media said Kim had addressed the "complicated international situation".North Korea's nuclear weapons are a "powerful deterrent firmly safeguarding the peace and security in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia," Kim said, referring to the "protracted nuclear threats of the U.S. imperialists."In recent weeks, North Korea has launched two missiles over Japan and conducted its sixth nuclear test, and may be fast advancing toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the U.S. mainland.North Korea is preparing to test-launch such a missile, a Russian lawmaker who had just returned from a visit to Pyongyang was quoted as saying on Friday.Donald Trump has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies.The situation proved that North Korea's policy of "byungjin", meaning the parallel development of nuclear weapons and the economy was "absolutely right", Kim Jong Un said in the speech."The national economy has grown on their strength this year, despite the escalating sanctions," said Kim, referring to U.N. Security Council resolutions put in place to curb Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.-SISTER PROMOTION-The meeting also handled some personnel changes inside North Korea's secretive and opaque ruling center of power, state media said.Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, was made an alternate member of the politburo - the top decision-making body over which Kim Jong Un presides.Alongside Kim Jong Un himself, the promotion makes the 30-year-old the only other millennial member of the influential body.Her promotion indicates the 28-year-old has become a replacement for Kim Jong Un's aunt, Kim Kyong Hee, who had been a key decision maker when former leader Kim Jong Il was alive."It shows that her portfolio and writ is far more substantive than previously believed and it is a further consolidation of the Kim family's power," said Michael Madden, a North Korea expert at Johns Hopkins University's 38 North website.In January, the U.S. Treasury blacklisted Kim Yo Jong along with other North Korean officials over "severe human rights abuses".Kim Jong Sik and Ri Pyong Chol, two of the three men behind Kim's banned rocket program, were also promoted.North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong Ho, who named Donald Trump "President Evil" in a bombastic speech to the U.N. General Assembly last month, was promoted to full vote-carrying member of the politburo."Ri can now be safely identified as one of North Korea's top policy makers," said Madden."Even if he has informal or off the record meetings, Ri's interlocutors can be assured that whatever proposals they proffer will be taken directly to the top," he said.(Reporting by James Pearson; Editing by Christian Schmollinger)
Trump says 'only one thing will work' with North Korea-[Reuters]-By Jeff Mason-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said "only one thing will work" in dealing with North Korea after previous administrations had talked to Pyongyang without results."Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid," Trump said in a tweet. "...Hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!"Trump did not make clear to what he was referring, but his comments seemed to be a further suggestion that military action was on his mind.The president has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies from Pyongyang's nuclear threats.Earlier this week, during a meeting with top U.S. military leaders and their spouses, Trump told reporters it was the "calm before the storm." Asked for clarification then on what he meant, Trump said: "You'll find out."Speaking to reporters on Saturday ahead of a trip to North Carolina, Trump said he had nothing more to clarify.White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders referred to Iran and North Korea the following day when asked about Trump's "calm before the storm" comments.Asked on Saturday about Trump's tweet, Sanders said she had nothing to add to the president's comments.The Pentagon referred a question for clarification to the White House and said the Defense Department's job was to "present the president military options and carry out orders."Trump repeatedly has made clear his distaste for dialogue with North Korea. On Sunday he dismissed the idea of talks as a waste of time, a day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington was maintaining open lines of communication with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's government.Trump said on Saturday that he had a good relationship with his secretary of state despite some disagreements."We have a very good relationship. We disagree on a couple of things. Sometimes I’d like him to be a little bit tougher, but other than that we have a very good relationship,” he said.A Russian lawmaker on Friday was quoted saying North Korea was preparing to test a long-range missile that it believes can reach the west coast of the United States. Anton Morozov, a member of the Russian lower house of parliament's international affairs committee, was part of a Russian delegation that visited Pyongyang from Oct. 2-6, according to Russian RIA news agency.North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs have driven up tensions in the region and around the world in recent months, particularly after it conducted a test explosion of what it said was a hydrogen bomb.(Additional reporting by Yeganeh Torbati and Valerie Volcovici; Editing by Paul Simao and Diane Craft)
Iran warns U.S. against designating Guards a terrorist group-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Nate makes 2nd landfall outside Biloxi, Mississippi-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Nate came ashore along Mississippi's coast outside Biloxi early Sunday, the first hurricane to make landfall in the state since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.The storm had maximum sustained winds early Sunday near 85 mph (140 kph) with weakening expected as it moves inland, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. As of 2 a.m. EDT, Nate was centred about 5 miles (10 kilometres ) north of Biloxi and moving north near at 20 mph (31 kph).At one point, Nate's eye move over Keesler Air Force Base, where the National Hurricane Center's hurricane hunter planes are kept, the centre said.It was Nate's second landfall. Saturday night, the storm came ashore along a sparsely populated area in southeast Louisiana.Nate's powerful winds pushed water onto roads and its winds knocked out power to homes and business. But Nate didn't have the intensity other storms — Harvey, Irma and Jose — had during this busy hurricane season, and people didn't seem as threatened by it. No deaths or injuries were immediately reported."We left for Katrina, but we're going to ride this one out," Ed Nodhturft said from his Ocean Springs home.He was hosting an impromptu family reunion after several relatives who were staying at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi were forced to leave the hotel and seek shelter at his home.During Katrina, Nodhturft's home took on 5 feet (1.5 metres ) of water from a coastal bayou. He's in a new house, and a little worried about flooding in the low-lying area where he lives.Hurricane Katrina made its final landfall on the Mississippi coast on Aug. 29, 2005, levelling many cities and buckling bridges. Casino barges were pushed into homes.John Adams is a Massachusetts native who now lives on Belle Fontaine Beach, a narrow strip of land between the Mississippi Sound and a coastal marsh. Every house on the spit was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina."This is my first hurricane," Adams said hours before the storm made landfall. "So far, it's kind of a fizzle."Katrina was the last hurricane that made a landfall on the Mississippi coast, although both Hurricane Gustav in 2008 and Hurricane Isaac in 2012 affected parts of the coast.Nate passed to the east of New Orleans, sparing the city its most ferocious winds and storm surge. Its quick speed lessened the likelihood of prolonged rain that would tax the city's weakened drainage pump system. The city famous for all-night partying was placed under a curfew, effective at 7 p.m., but the mayor lifted it about an hour after it had begun when it appeared the storm would pass by and cause little problem for the city.Still, the streets were not nearly as crowded as they typically are on a Saturday night and Mayor Mitch Landrieu asked people to shelter in place.Some bars were closed in the French Quarter but music blasted from others."I don't think it's going to be that bad, as far as a hurricane," said Michael Dennis of Atlanta.Cities along the Mississippi coast such as Gulfport and Biloxi were on high alert. Some beachfront hotels and casinos were evacuated, and rain began falling on the region Saturday. Forecasters called for 3 to 6 inches (7 to 15 centimetres ) with as much as 10 inches (25 centimetres ) in some isolated places.Nate weakened slightly and was a Category 1 storm with maximum winds of 85 mph (137 kph) when it made its first landfall in a sparsely populated area of Plaquemines (PLAK'-uh-minz) Parish.Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama declared states of emergency. The three states have been mostly spared during this hectic hurricane season."This is the worst hurricane that has impacted Mississippi since Hurricane Katrina," Mississippi Emergency Management Director Lee Smithson said Saturday. "Everyone needs to understand that, that this is a significantly dangerous situation."Officials rescued five people from two sailboats in choppy waters before the storm. One 41-foot sailboat lost its engine in Lake Pontchartrain and two sailors were saved. Another boat hit rocks in the Mississippi Sound and three people had to be plucked from the water.Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards urged residents to make final preparations quickly."It's going to hit and move through our area at a relatively fast rate, limiting the amount of time it's going to drop rain," Edwards said. "But this is a very dangerous storm nonetheless."Some people worried about New Orleans' pumping system, which had problems during a heavy thunderstorm on Aug. 5. The deluge exposed system weaknesses - including the failure of some pumps and power-generating turbines - and caused homes and businesses to flood. Repairs have been made but the system remained below maximum pumping capacity.On Alabama's Dauphin Island, water washed over the road Saturday on the island's low-lying west end, said Mayor Jeff Collier. The storm was projected to bring storm surges from seven to 11 feet near the Alabama-Mississippi state line. Some of the biggest impacts could be at the top of funnel-shaped Mobile Bay.Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents of the Panhandle to prepare for Nate's impact."Hurricane Nate is expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, strong winds and tornados that could reach across the Panhandle," Scott said. The evacuations affect roughly 100,000 residents in the western Panhandle.The Pensacola International Airport announced it was closing at 6 p.m. Saturday and remain closed Sunday. However, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was open Saturday.Nate killed at least 21 people in Central America.___Associated Press writer Kim Chandler in Alabama and Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, contributed to this report.Janet McConnaughey, Melinda Deslatte And Jeff Amy, The Associated Press
Hurricane Nate closes in on Mississippi, eyes 2nd landfall-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Nate came ashore on a sparsely populated area at the mouth of the Mississippi River on Saturday and closed in on Mississippi, pelting the central Gulf Coast region with strong winds and heavy rains.Nate was forecast to make its second landfall near Biloxi, Mississippi, and threatened to inundate homes and businesses.The centre of the storm passed to the east of New Orleans, sparing the city its most ferocious winds and storm surge. And its quick speed lessened the likelihood of prolonged rain that would tax the city's weakened drainage pump system.The city famous for all-night partying was placed under a curfew, effective at 7 p.m., but the mayor lifted it when it appeared the storm would cause little problems for the city.

Forecasters had said it was possible that it could strengthen to a Category 2, but that seemed less likely as the night wore on.Storm surge threatened low-lying communities in southeast Louisiana, eastward to the Alabama fishing village of Bayou la Batre."If it floods again, this will be it," said Larry Bertron as said as he and his wife prepared to leave their home in the Braithwaite community of vulnerable Plaquemines Parish. The hurricane veterans lost one home to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and left the home they rebuilt after Hurricane Isaac in 2012.Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama declared states of emergency. The three states have been mostly spared during this hectic hurricane season."This is the worst hurricane that has impacted Mississippi since Hurricane Katrina," Mississippi Emergency Management Director Lee Smithson said Saturday.

"But this is a very dangerous storm nonetheless."Streets in low-lying areas of Louisiana were already flooded. Places outside of levee protections were under mandatory evacuation orders and shelters opened there.Some people worried about New Orleans' pumping system, which had problems during a heavy thunderstorm on Aug. 5.

Repairs have been made but the system remained below maximum pumping capacity.On Alabama's Dauphin Island, water washed over the road Saturday on the island's low-lying west end, said Mayor Jeff Collier. The storm was projected to bring storm surges from seven to 11 feet near the Alabama-Mississippi state line. Some of the biggest impacts could be at the top of funnel-shaped Mobile Bay.With Nate marching to a second landfall on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, gauges showed tides are 4 feet above normal from Shell Beach, Louisiana, east of New Orleans, to Bayou La Batre, Alabama, southwest of Mobile. In Mississippi, Hancock County Emergency Management Director Brian Adam said his agency received reports of rising water on low-lying streets facing the Mississippi Sound and the Bay of St. Louis. In Biloxi, authorities reported water from Biloxi Bay rising on some streets.The window for preparing "is quickly closing," Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Hastings said.Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents of the Panhandle to prepare for Nate's impact."Hurricane Nate is expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, strong winds and tornados that could reach across the Panhandle," Scott said.

However, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was open Saturday.At 11 p.m. EDT Saturday, Nate was about 35 miles (56 kilometres ) southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The storm was expected to quickly weaken as it cuts a path through the Southeast on its way to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, which could see impacts from Nate early next week.Nate killed at least 21 people after strafing Central America.In New Orleans, ahead of Saturday night's curfew, some bars were closed in the French Quarter but music blasted from others."We're down here from Philly and we're not going to just stay in our hotel room," said Kelly Howell, who was drinking with friends at The Bourbon Street Drinkery.___Associated Press writer Kim Chandler in Alabama and Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, contributed to this report.Janet McConnaughey, Melinda Deslatte And Jeff Amy, The Associated Press.

Spain's PM says may use constitution to block Catalan independence-[Reuters]-By Raquel Castillo and Sam Edwards-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Saturday he would not rule out using the constitutional powers to remove Catalonia's autonomous status if it claimed independence as tens of thousands took to the streets to call for talks.The wealthy northeastern region of Catalonia, with its own language and culture, held a referendum on Oct. 1 on independence, in defiance of the Spanish constitutional court which had ruled the vote illegal.Until now, Rajoy has remained vague on whether he would use article 155, the so-called nuclear option, of the constitution which enables him to sack the regional government and call a fresh local election.In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais on Saturday Rajoy was asked if he was ready to trigger the article 155 of the constitution, and said: "I don't rule out absolutely anything that is within the law ... Ideally, it shouldn't be necessary to implement extreme solutions but for that not to happen things would have to be changed."Tens of thousands of people gathered across Spain earlier on Saturday as Catalonia prepared to declare independence from the rest of the country, many dressed in white and calling for talks to defuse Spain's worst political crisis for decades.The Catalan authorities say around 90 percent of those who voted supported a split from Spain. Madrid says secession is illegal under the Spain's 1978 constitution. Residents of Catalonia who oppose secession largely boycotted the vote.The crisis is a political test for Rajoy, who has been uncompromising. Some 900 people were injured during the vote when police tried to disrupt voting, firing rubber bullets and charging crowds with truncheons.The political stand-off has divided the country, pushed banks and companies to move their headquarters outside Catalonia and shaken market confidence in the Spanish economy, prompting calls from the European Commission for Catalan and Spanish leaders to find a political solution."I hope that the Catalonia that makes pacts, is moderate and for many years contributed to Spain's economic growth and improvement in welfare and wealth returns. It can't be in the hands of extremists, the radicals and the (far-left secessionist party) CUP," he said.However, Rajoy ruled out using mediators to resolve the crisis and also said the issue would not force a snap national election.-PEACEFUL PROTESTS-In peaceful protests called across 50 Spanish cities on Saturday morning, thousands gathered dressed in white and carrying banners calling for peace and dialogue between leaders.In Barcelona, protesters chanted "let's talk" in Catalan, while many carried signs criticizing political leaders for not finding a diplomatic solution to the impasse."This is producing a social rupture in Catalonia and this has to be resolved through dialogue, never via unilateralism," Jose Manuel Garcia, 61, an economist who attended the protest dressed in white said."I'm very worried. This will end badly and everyone will lose (without dialogue)."While Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has said he is open to mediation, Rajoy has demanded he give up the independence campaign before discussions can be held.In Madrid thousands gathered beneath the enormous Spanish flag in Colon Plaza waving their own flags, singing and chanting "Viva España" and "Viva Catalonia"."I've come because I feel very Spanish and makes me very sad what's happened," said Rosa Borras, 47, an unemployed secretary who had joined a noisy gathering in central Madrid.Borras, wearing a "Catalonia, we love you" sticker and surrounded by thousands waving Spanish flags, added: "I wanted to be here for unity, because I also feel very Catalan. My family lives in Catalonia."-EU CONCERN-Rajoy's government mobilized thousands of national police to stop Sunday's vote, leading to clashes with would-be voters as they tried to close polling stations in schools and remove ballot boxes.In the El Pais interview, Rajoy said the around 4,000 extra police shipped in to the region would stay until the conflict had been resolved.The police violence drew widespread condemnation and forced the government to issue an apology on Friday, although tensions continued to rise after reports of plans for the Catalan parliament to vote on a unilateral declaration of independence on Tuesday.The crisis has also caused disquiet among Spain's European Union partners, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has discussed it with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, an EU official told Reuters. [L8N1MI08F] Concern is growing in EU capitals about the impact of the crisis on the Spanish economy, the fourth largest in the euro zone, and on possible spillovers to other economies.European finance ministers, gathering in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday for a regular meeting, could discuss the issue, although it is not formally on the agenda, EU officials said.The support given in public statements by EU leaders to Rajoy is combined with concern expressed in private about how the Spanish government's use of police to prevent Catalans from voting last week in the independence referendum could backfire.Some EU states are worried that talk of Catalan independence could fuel secessionist feelings in other parts of Europe.(Reporting by Raquel Castillo and Paul Day; Writing by Paul Day; Editing by Alexander Smith and Peter Graff)
Investigation-EU police forces copy Israeli online 'predictive policing'-By Staffan Dahllof, Orr Hirschauge, Hagar Shezaf, Jennifer Baker and Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER-6. Oct, 17:47
EU-wide counter-terror rules are paving the way to allow authorities to crack down on people before any crime has been committed.Also known as a predictive policing, the move is raising serious fundamental rights issues, as people innocent of any wrongdoing may end up falsely accused or arbitrarily detained.Such tactics are already being employed by Israeli security services on Palestinians, sometimes with devastating consequences for victims and their families.But with the recent spate of terrorist attacks across Europe, the prospects for predictive policing are becoming more enticing for security services, amid broader EU moves that also appear to restrict online freedom.In March, member states adopted a directive on combating terrorism - an EU-wide law on blocking access to websites that aim to provoke the public to commit a terrorist offence.A vague definition of terrorism, including its "glorification", is being used detain people.Spain issued 27 convictions last year alone - up from 19 in 2015 - on the basis of terrorist glorification.Among them is Cesar Montana Lehman, a rapper also known as Cesar Strawberry. A Spanish court jailed him earlier this year following a series of tweets from 2013.The tweets, which Lehman described as humorous, included a comment that he wanted to send the Spanish king a "cake-bomb" for his birthday.Lehman says there was no intention to commit actual acts of terrorism. But the Supreme Court ruled that intention was "irrelevant."Similar stories have emerged elsewhere, with France now normalising its state of emergency and giving police extra powers to detain people without search warrants.Last year, a 22-year old was given a six month jail sentence for consulting the website on terrorism by an US academic who works for a Washington-based think tank.Dozens of European intelligence agencies at the Dutch-led Counter-Terrorism Group (CTG) have also since launched an "interactive operative real-time information system" to track people suspected of being "jihadist troublemakers".The new EU directive on combating terrorism follows a voluntary code of conduct drawn up by the European Commission and signed by major IT companies Microsoft, YouTube and Twitter in 2015.The code obliges companies to review content flagged up as hate speech and incitement to violence within 24 hours and to take action.-Multiple tools and approaches-A so-called EU Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU) was set up in mid-2015 within the EU's Hague-based police agency, Europol, to help inform the internet firms of illegal content.A year after its launch, internet platforms had removed over 91 percent of the unit's 11,000 referred messages. The year after 82 percent of its 20,548 referrals were removed.But the figures don't reveal how many of the referrals to member states led to the opening of an investigation. When pressed, the EU IRU is unable to respond.The EU commission doesn't know either. Instead, the Brussels executive, as of last month, is telling firms to automate the removal and detection of the offending content without proper oversight.Jan Ellermann, a senior specialist in the Europol Data Protection Office, explains in an article "Terror won't kill the privacy star" in the magazine ERA Forum published by the Academy of European Law, that the EU IRU is able to conduct further investigations."The EU IRU is not restricted to the referrals as such but has the possibility to conduct further analysis within the scope of Europol's mandate, i.e. to prevent and combat serious crime and terrorism," he writes.As for the toolkit used, Ellermann notes that Europol is looking into multiple tools and approaches in order to crawl and harvest online content.This includes conducting real time data correlation as well as real-time trends monitoring and custom application programming interface (API) data harvesting scripts, he said."For the purpose of more in-depth analysis of information obtained from publicly available sources including social media, Europol is also looking into tools for 'fingerprinting' voices, face recognition technology as well as audio to text converters with the ability to subsequently translate e.g. Arabic texts into English," he said.When asked if such automated decision-making practices is in line within the legal framework for Europol, Ellermann replies that is the case.-The Danish case-In Denmark, lawmakers have amended and pushed through laws that allow police to cast wide data nets.Last year, Denmark's national police, Rigspolitiet, purchased the POL-INTEL platform from the American software company Palantir Technologies, as reported by Danish daily Information.Palantir Technologies was behind XKeyscore, one of the more intrusive tools used by US National Security Agency.POL-INTEL combines and analyses information from different sources such as police databases, social media, CCTV-cameras in public areas and automated number plate recognition operated by traffic patrols, paving the way to predict a crime before any offence have been committed.After its purchase, Danish lawmakers amended national laws on personal data. They also adopted a new law on blocking homepages. Both allowed police to make full use of the platform.If, or when, so-called 'Facebook arrests' are carried out in EU member countries this will be regulated on a national level.In Denmark, the legal situation is anything but transparent for citizens, notes professor Henrik Udsen at Copenhagen University, in a memo published by thinktank Justitia.Furthermore the surveillance of Danish citizens on the net makes use of data retention rules based on a EU directive from 2006, which has been deemed in breach of fundamental rights by the EU-court in Luxembourg.The Court annulled the directive in 2014 for all member countries. This has created a legal vacuum, which has yet not been filled.Predictive policing is not entirely new to member states. Chris Jones, a researcher for the London-based civil group Statewatch, has mapped out its use by British police forces.These programs aim to predict where crimes in geographical zones are likely to take place. They do not single out possible suspect.But social media changes this picture.Now software programmes combine updates and comments on platforms like Facebook, public data sources, crime statistics, and CCTV- monitoring.Predictive policing can then be targeted on an individual level, as is extensively done by Israel on the occupied area of the West Bank.-The Israelis – 'before they know themselves'-Suad Zariquat, a 29-year-old Palestinian from a village outside Hebron was arrested and handed a screenshot of a Facebook post featuring a picture of her husband, killed in a car crash with the text, "May God unite us in heaven.""I told the investigator we use the word 'shahda' (from "shahid", Arabic for "martyr") regularly. The fact that I wrote it on Facebook doesn't mean I'll do anything, even when someone dies in a car accident we call him shahid," she said.Following the interrogation Zariqat was issued with a four-month administrative detention order – detention without trial that is used as pre-emptive detention by Israel, mostly against Palestinians in the West Bank.Israel's Intelligence Affairs Minister Yisrael Katz – who also serves as a member of the security cabinet – confirmed at his office in Tel Aviv that there is a possibility some Palestinians, arrested after having been marked out by the predictive system, were not actively and fully planning to carry out an attack - and perhaps did not decide to carry out an attack at the time of their arrest. Katz says this may happen in "borderline cases.""Because of the unique system that was developed and put into operation here, hundreds of cases of attacks of this sort have been prevented. In the dilemma of whether or not to act – it could be that you also include borderline cases here," Katz added.After a peak of 80 attempted attacks in October 2015, the number of attacks has since steadily declined. Since April 2016, the number of attempts has dropped to less than 20 a month, according to Israeli foreign ministry data."Arrests were made, terror attacks went down, that means these are the folks, no way around it. Statistically, these are the right people. If we missed this way or that way in a few cases? The cause is deserving (the means) – preventing terror attacks. It is not as if someone invented a way to haunt someone on Facebook," according to Katz.-A European connection-These Israeli experiences from the West Bank have not passed unnoticed by EU authorities.In meetings with Israeli officials in 2016, the EU's counterterrorism coordinator, Gilles de Kerchove, expressed interest in adopting Israeli technologies, similar to the software platforms provided by US-based Palantir.De Kerchove discussed at length the EU's plan to battle online incitement and its difficulty in finding enough speakers of Middle Eastern languages to manually monitor content.In practice European police forces have gained the same tactics and similar rights to use them as the Israeli forces have in the occupied areas of Palestine.Such use in the EU either falls outside the scope of European fundamental rights, or is in breach of these rights, as is the case with data retention.A new EU general data regulation, to be applied from 25 May 2018, carries a clear exemption for foreign and security matters – article 2.2 (a) and (b).In foreign and security matters the EU has no legislative competence.A version of this article appeared in Haaretz Magazine May 31 2017.

Canadian man pleads guilty to terrorism in plot targeting NYC landmarks: unsealed records-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 6, 2017
A 19-year-old Mississauga, Ont., man is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to terrorism offences in a 2016 plot to detonate bombs in New York City.The charges against Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy were made public Friday when the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of New York) revealed the details of the plan that allegedly included detonating bombs in Times Square and in the New York subway system, as well as shootings at various concert venues.According to the unsealed information, El Bahnasawy purchased bomb-making materials and helped secure a cabin within driving distance of the city for the purpose of building explosive devices.Two others, Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen living in Pakistan, and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippine citizen, were also charged in connection with the alleged plot. The two were arrested outside of the U.S. and the hope, according to the release, is that they will be extradited to the U.S. for prosecution.In an interview with CBC News, El Bahnasawy's lawyer Sabrina Shroff stressed his young age and called him "vulnerable.""It's a very difficult situation undoubtedly — not just for him but also for his entire family," Shroff said.'These Americans need an attack'El Bahnasawy, who has been in custody since his arrest by the FBI in May 2016, pleaded guilty on Oct. 13, 2016. He is the only one of the three to have pleaded guilty so far.According to the allegations, El Bahnasawy and Haroon plotted to carry out the attacks in support of ISIS during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.In preparing for the attacks, the two communicated electronically with an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS supporter.In the course of their communication, they allegedly declared their allegiance to ISIS and expressed their intent to carry out attacks resembling the recent Paris and Brussels attacks."These Americans need an attack," El Bahnasawy allegedly stated to the officer, saying he aspired "to create the next 9/11."El Bahnasawy allegedly told the undercover officer that he was in contact with an ISIS affiliate about attack plans officially sanctioned by a branch of ISIS active in Pakistan, and introduced Haroon to the agent.In May 2016, El Bahnasawy, while in Canada, purchased an "array of bomb-making materials," including 18 kilograms of hydrogen peroxide, a key ingredient in making improvised explosive devices. Batteries, thermometers, aluminum foil and Christmas lights were also purchased.'A day that will change history'That same month, El Bahnasawy informed the agent that he had been in communication with Salic, known to him as "Abu Khalid" and "the doctor," about acquiring more funding for the attacks. El Bahnasawy provided the man's contact information to the agent to facilitate the transfer.On May 11, $423 US was sent from the Philippines to help fund the plan, the U.S. Justice Department says.Meanwhile, El Bahnasawy shipped the bomb-making materials to the United States and allegedly told the agent he wanted to practice shooting at the cabin, which would need refrigeration for the purpose of making explosives.On May 12, the undercover agent sent Salic a photo of the hydrogen peroxide purchased by El Bahnasawy. It's alleged the man expressed to the agent that he would pray for the success of the attack.On May 20, Haroon deemed Times Square the "perfect spot" for the attack, the release alleges. In the course of his communications with the agent, the man allegedly discussed attacking as early as Memorial Day (May 30, 2016), saying, "that's a day that will change history."Public never at risk, RCMP says-El Bahnasawy travelled to the New York City area on May 21, 2016, in preparation for staging and ultimately carrying out the attacks, allegedly with Haroon.U.S. law enforcement monitored the trip in co-ordination with Canadian law enforcement and El Bahnasawy was arrested that night in Cranford, N.J. The two others were subsequently arrested — one in Pakistan and the other in the Philippines.El Bahnasawy pleaded guilty last October to seven charges, including: - Conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. - Conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries. - Conspiring to bomb a place of public use and public transport. - Conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. - Attempted provision and provision of material support and resources to terrorists. - Conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, i.e., ISIS. - Attempted provision and provision of material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, i.e., ISIS.He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12, 2017.Asked if El Bahnasawy will appeal, Shroff would not confirm but did say, "In every terrorism case in which the United States plays some role, there's always a concern about the length an undercover [agent] will go."In a statement to CBC News Friday, the RCMP said that at no time was the safety or security of the public at risk during the investigation."Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy is a Canadian citizen who was part of an international plot to commit terrorist attacks in the United States and the charges are a direct result of his involvement and role," the statement said.
Turkish military vehicles enter Syria's Idlib: sources-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Turkish military vehicles entered Syria's Idlib province on Sunday under escort from the Tahrir al-Sham jihadist alliance, a resident of the Syria-Turkey border area and a local rebel said.They both said they saw several vehicles carrying Turkish forces entering Idlib at the Atmah crossing before Tahrir al-Sham fighters escorted them along a road.On Saturday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Syrian rebels backed by Turkish forces would launch an operation in that area, which is mostly controlled by Tahrir al-Sham.On Sunday, a war monitor reported clashes between Turkish forces and the jihadists.The incursion follows a deal between Turkey and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's allies Russia and Iran to impose a "de-escalation" zone in Idlib and surrounding areas to reduce warfare there, an agreement that did not include Tahrir al-Sham.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the clashes took place near the village of Kafr Lusin in Idlib.Tahrir al-Sham is spearheaded by the former Nusra Front, which was al Qaeda's Syrian branch until last year, when it changed its name and broke formal allegiance to the global movement founded by Osama bin Laden.(Reporting By Angus McDowall; Editing by Greg Mahlich and John Stonestreet)
Syrian army encircles IS in al-Mayadin: Syrian military source-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's army and its allies have encircled Islamic State in the city of al-Mayadin, southeast of Deir al-Zor, in eastern Syria, a Syrian military source said on Sunday.Al-Mayadin is one of the last strongholds of Islamic State as it falls back upon the fertile area downstream of Deir al-Zor in the Euphrates valley and launches counter attacks in the central desert after losing swathes of territory this year."Units of our armed forces with the allied forces continue their advance on a number of fronts and axes in Deir al-Zor and its countryside... and encircle Daesh terrorists in the city of al-Mayadin," the military source said.The army and its allies reached Deir al-Zor in September after a months-long offensive across the Syria desert, and have in recent weeks pushed down the Euphrates towards al-Mayadin.However, counter attacks by Islamic State in the central desert region have put pressure on the main supply road to Deir al-Zor from western Syria.Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is backed in the war by Russia, Iran and Shi'ite militias including Lebanon's Hezbollah, and its campaign against Islamic State has mostly been on the west bank of the river.A U.S.-led coalition is also supporting a rival campaign against the jihadists, mostly on the east bank, where it is close to recapturing Raqqa, and has also advanced downstream to hold areas opposite Deir al-Zor.U.S. officials have previously said that Islamic State had relocated some of its diminished command and propaganda structures to al-Mayadin as it was forced from territory elsewhere.(Reporting by Angus McDowall; Editing by Greg Mahlich)
In Vegas, Pence praises US resolve to find hope after horror-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 7, 2017
LAS VEGAS — Vice-President Mike Pence praised the heroic response by police and the resolve of the American people at a prayer service Saturday in Las Vegas before organizers released 58 white doves in memory of each victim killed in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.At the same time, federal agents started hauling away piles of backpacks, baby strollers and lawn chairs left behind by fleeing concertgoers who scrambled to escape raining bullets from a gunman who was shooting from his high-rise hotel suite."It was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions," Pence said as he addressed nearly 300 people at Las Vegas City Hall. "Those we lost were taken before their time, but their names and their stories will forever be etched into the hearts of the American people."Investigators have remained stumped about what drove gunman Stephen Paddock, a reclusive 64-year-old high-stakes video poker player, to begin shooting at the crowd at a country music festival from his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay hotel suite last Sunday, killing 58 and wounding hundreds before taking his own life.Investigators believe a note found on a nightstand in Paddock's hotel room contained a series of numbers that helped him calculate a more precise aim, accounting for the trajectory of shots being fired from that height and the distance between his room and the concert, a law enforcement official said Saturday. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the details of the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.The unity service Saturday afternoon came after dozens of people — many wearing shirts that said "Vegas Strong" — marched from Mandalay Bay to City Hall. After speeches from Pence and other politicians, doves were released into the air, flying in a wide arc and then disappearing into the distance as someone shouted, "God bless America!""On Sunday night, Las Vegas came face-to-face with pure evil, but no evil, no act of violence, will ever diminish the strength and goodness of the American people," Pence said. "In the depths of horror, we will always find hope in the men and women who risk their lives for ours."Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman told the audience that the focus needs to remain on the victims, not "that horrific senseless animal."Lisa Rhoads-Shook, whose brother-in-law was inside the Mandalay Bay when the shooting broke out, said she wanted to attend the unity service to be part of the conversation about change."I'm so sad and it's not fair, really, for us to experience another avoidable tragedy. We have to acknowledge that there is no better time to talk about gun control," she said. "I don't think the Founding Fathers wanted the right to bear arms to become the right to build an arsenal in your home."Investigators have chased 1,000 leads and examined Paddock's politics, finances, any possible radicalization and his social behaviour — typical investigative avenues that have helped uncover the motive in past shootings. But Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said there's still no clear motive.What officers have found is that Paddock planned his attack meticulously.He requested an upper-floor room overlooking the festival, stockpiled 23 guns, a dozen of them modified to fire continuously like an automatic weapon, and set up cameras inside and outside his room to watch for approaching officers.___For complete coverage of the Las Vegas shooting, click here: https://apnews.com/tag/LasVegasmassshooting .Michael Balsamo And Amanda Lee Myers, The Associated Press.
