Netanyahu gives immigration portfolio to Tourism Minister Yariv Levin-Amid pressure over his numerous ministerial positions, PM announces he will make Likud confidant acting immigration and absorption minister-By Raoul Wootliff-DEC 24,18
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday night that he would be handing over the immigration and absorption portfolio to Likud confidant and Tourism Minister Yariv Levin.“I decided to appoint Tourism Minister Yariv Levin to the additional position of immigration minister. Good luck Yariv!” the prime minister tweeted after saying earlier in the day that he would appoint someone to the position by midnight.But Netanyahu, who inherited the ministry from Yisrael Beytenu’s Sofa Landver when her party quit the government in November, opted not to appoint Levin as a permanent replacement but only as an acting minister, a position that cannot be extended beyond three months.The temporary appointment only needs the approval of the cabinet, which came in a ministerial telephone vote after Netanyahu’s announcement, and not a vote of confidence in the Knesset.When Landver, along with former defense minister Avigdor Liberman officially resigned on November 15, Netanyahu became defacto immigration and absorption minister, with the obligation to name either a permanent or temporary replacement within two weeks.Naming himself as defense minister the same day, Netanyahu said he planned to appoint somebody to the immigration and absorption ministry, as well as to the foreign ministry, which he has headed since the 2015 elections.Netanyahu’s decision will likely have angered several Likud lawmakers who had been vying for the position. Likud MK Tzipi Hotovely, who currently serves as deputy foreign minister, had been considered a front-runner to take the role, according to coalition sources. Kulanu MK Michael Oren had also publicly stated his interest in the position, saying party chair Moshe Kahlon had “demanded” he receive it.Amid criticism of his holding a number of key portfolios, Netanyahu told his ministers on Sunday that he would appoint a new immigration minister by midnight and keep another promise to appoint someone else foreign minister by next month. A number of senior Likud ministers are pining for that role, with Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Transportation Minister Israel Katz claiming to have already been promised the portfolio by Netanyahu.On Monday, Knesset members voted to formalize Netanyahu’s appointment as permanent defense minister, a position he took on after Yisrael Beytenu chair Avigdor Liberman resigned, citing Israel’s policy toward Gaza.Netanyahu asserted at the time that Israel was in the middle of a military campaign, which he claimed he was the only person capable of steering the country through.Jewish Home chair Naftali Bennett, who had initially demanded the role for himself, and party number two Ayelet Shaked reportedly voted against the appointment in the cabinet, but supported the parliamentary vote.As well as serving as prime minister, Netanyahu is now also the foreign minister, defense minister and health minister.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Biohacker injects DNA versions of Bible, Quran verses into his body-Adrien Locatelli says he simply wondered whether it would be possible, adds that he excluded religious passages he deemed to be ‘controversial’-By TOI staff-DEC 24,18
A French high school student converted passages from the Bible and Quran into DNA sequences before injecting them into his legs as part of a so-called biohack.Biohacking is the practice of trying to improve the practitioner’s own body by enhancing it through the introduction of chemicals or devices.Adrien Locatelli said he did the experiment simply because he ‘wondered whether it would be possible,’ the Daily Mail reported.Locatelli’s leg was swollen for a few days after he administered the injection, but experts warned the effects could have been far more serious, perhaps even deadly.DNA is composed of four units, each of which is assigned a letter. Locatelli assigned one of those four letters to every character in the religious tracts he selected.These proteins were built in a laboratory, before Locatelli injected them into his thighs.He converted Hebrew passages from Genesis 1:1 to 11:9, excluding 2:10 to 2:14, 5, and 7:1 to 7:5 because they were “controversial,” the Daily Mail reported.Locatelli also converted Arabic passages from Surah Ar-Ra’d, the 13th chapter of the Quran.“Recent studies have reported that it is possible to convert any type of information into DNA for the purpose of storage,” wrote Locatelli in a paper for a biohacking website.“Since it is possible to convert digital information into DNA, I wondered whether it would be possible to convert a religious text into DNA and to inject it in a living being,” he said.“It is the first time that someone injects himself [with] macromolecules developed from a text. It is very symbolic even if it does not have much interest,” Locatelli added.
Sick synagogue worshipers suspect teens poisoned the kugel-Congregants in Beitar Illit settlement say bored youth likely sprayed insecticide on baked noodle casserole-By Jacob Magid-24 December 2018
Religious leaders at a synagogue in the Beitar Illit settlement accused local youth of spraying their kiddush kugel with insecticide, after a number of worshipers were sick after consuming the baked casserole, which was served at the communal meal following Saturday morning services.Officials at the Darchei Hayim synagogue told the ultra-Orthodox Kikar Hashabbat news site that upon noticing that the kugel smelled foul, worshipers entered the kitchen and found a can of K-300 insecticide lying on the floor.The synagogue officials said they have no known communal enemies and the growing assumption is that the kugel-tampering was carried out as a prank by local teens, who were wandering the town, bored, the night before.The officials were considering filing a police complaint, but, as of Sunday evening, had yet to do so.The report did not specify how many congregants fell ill following the consumption of the kugel, and synagogue officials could not be reached for comment.

Top Trump aide says government shutdown may go into New Year-[Reuters]-By Jan Wolfe-YAHOONEWS-December 24, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's budget director and chief of staff on Sunday said the partial U.S. government shutdown could continue to Jan. 3, when the new Congress convenes and Democrats take over the House of Representatives."It's very possible this shutdown will go beyond (December) the 28th and into the new Congress," Mick Mulvaney said on Fox News Sunday."I don't think things are going to move very quickly here for the next few days" because of the Christmas holiday, added Mulvaney, who serves as director of the Office of Management and Budget and was named acting White House chief of staff 10 days ago.The U.S. Senate adjourned on Saturday, unable to break an impasse over Trump's demand for more funds for a wall on the border with Mexico that Democrats are unwilling to accept.Mulvaney said the White House made a "counter-offer" to Democrats on funding for border security that fell between the Democratic offer of $1.3 billion and Trump's demand for $5 billion.As part of those talks on Saturday, Vice President Mike Pence offered to drop the demand for $5 billion for a border wall, substituting instead $2.1 billion, ABC News reported, citing unnamed sources.A Democratic source familiar with the negotiations said real discussions have been happening between Democratic lawmakers and Republican Senator Richard Shelby, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who has been talking to the White House. It was unclear what Democrats had offered.Mulvaney sought to shift blame for the partial shutdown to Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic nominee for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, saying she might hold up negotiations to ensure she secures the position."I think she's in that unfortunate position of being beholden to her left wing to where she cannot be seen as agreeing with the president on anything until after she is speaker," Mulvaney said. "If that's the case, again, there's a chance we go into the next Congress."Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill disputed that account, saying in a statement: "As Mr. Mulvaney well knows, House Democrats are united in their opposition to the President's immoral, expensive and ineffective wall."The White House should "stop the posturing and start serious bipartisan talks," Hammill said.Financing for about a quarter of federal government programs - including the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and Agriculture - expired at midnight on Friday. More than 400,000 "essential" employees in those agencies will work without pay until the dispute is resolved. Another 380,000 will be "furloughed," meaning they are put on temporary leave.Law enforcement efforts, border patrols, mail delivery and airport operations will keep running.Building a wall to try to prevent migrants from entering the United States illegally was a central plank of Trump's presidential campaign, but Democrats are vehemently opposed and have rejected his funding request.Trump reiterated his push for border security on Sunday, saying on Twitter that "the only way" to stop drugs, gangs, and human trafficking at the border was with a wall or barrier."Drones and all of the rest are wonderful and lots of fun, but it is only a good old fashioned Wall that works!," the president said in the tweet.Earlier in the week, leaders in both the Senate and House thought they had reached a deal that Trump would sign that contained less money for border security, only to watch the president, under pressure from conservatives, re-assert his demand for $5 billion at the last minute.Senator David Perdue, a Republican from Georgia on the Senate Banking Committee, said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that he thought a deal this week was possible."I spoke to the president last night, he wants that," Purdue said, adding: "I'm hopeful that cooler heads will prevail and we'll get to some number between $1.6 (billion) and $5 billion on that."(Reporting by Jan Wolfe and Lesley Wroughton; Editing by Mary Milliken, Daniel Wallis and Rosalba O'Brien)

Lebanese, some in yellow vests, take to the streets to protest corruption-Brief scuffles break out as demonstrators demand improved health care, jobs; protesters call for an end to political deadlock that has gripped the country since May elections-By Sarah El Deeb-DEC 24,18
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Hundreds of Lebanese protested against deteriorating economic conditions Sunday, with some briefly scuffling with army troops, as public anger mounts against politicians deadlocked over forming a new government since May.The army appealed for calm in a statement, urging protesters to remain peaceful.The protesters marched to the government building in central Beirut, carrying placards that called for an end to the deadlock and corruption. Some protesters sported the yellow vests worn by anti-government protesters in France. The call for the protests began on social media, with some using the symbol of a yellow vest with a cedar tree, a national symbol that appears on the country’s flag.The protests grew rowdy and angry protesters pelted security forces with water bottles.Security forces deployed, setting up barricades separating them from the protesters in a standoff that locked down the city center. By mid-afternoon, the demonstration began to fizzle but scores of protesters marched to a commercial district in Beirut, chanting “revolution” and urging others to join them. Some protesters tried to block roads, using dumpsters and iron rods to stop traffic.Local media and TV stations aired footage of army personnel chasing protesters when the scuffles broke out.The army’s statement said it would not tolerate attacks on public property.Two local media outlets, Al-Jadeed TV and the Daily Star newspaper, said their reporters were attacked by security forces. Al-Jadeed said its cameraman’s arm was broken and his camera smashed.The scuffles in Beirut prompted a smaller, calmer solidarity rally in the southern town of Nabatiyeh.Protests have spread in recent weeks as rival politicians have failed to form a new government following parliamentary elections in May.Highly publicized efforts to form a compromise national unity government faltered Saturday, fueling the protesters’ anger the following day.Demonstrators chanted: “The people want to bring down the regime,” a slogan from the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings.The protesters, who said they didn’t represent any particular political party, demanded improved health care, jobs and an end to corruption.“We want a government,” shouted one protester to a TV reporter.“I am here to fight against the corruption of the state. We are here to bring back our social services. We need our rights. We need to live as human beings. We need that our government respects us,” said Michel al-Hajj, another protester.Lebanon’s political system is sectarian; Religious factions share power to maintain a delicate balance years after the country’s civil war ended in 1990.But politicians are divided, among other issues, over the war in neighboring Syria, often paralyzing decision-making in Lebanon.
Trump said to have told Erdogan that Syria is, ‘all yours. We are done’-CNN reports new details from December 14 call between the two leaders which led to announcement of withdrawal of US troops from Syria-By TOI staff and Agencies-DEC 24,18
US President Donald Trump told his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a December 14 phone call that he was “done” with the presence of American troops in Syria, CNN reported Monday.A senior Trump administration official who received a readout of the call told the network that Erdogan was explaining the problems he had with the presence of American forces in Syria and discussing a possible pullout, when the US president reportedly said, “OK, it’s all yours. We are done.”According to CNN, Erdogan told Trump that Islamic State had nearly been defeated in the country, and gave him assurances that Turkey would continue to fight the terrorist group.Trump shocked US allies last week, when he announced plans to pull the 2,000 US troops out of Syria, where they have been helping coordinate a multinational fight against IS.The president stunned his cabinet, lawmakers and much of the world with the pullout move by rejecting the advice of his top aides and agreeing to a withdrawal in the phone call with Erdogan last week. But the move was lauded by Turkey.The December 14 call, previously described by officials who were not authorized to discuss the decision-making process publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, provides insight into a consequential Trump decision that prompted the resignation of widely respected Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, as well as of Brett McGurk, the special envoy to the anti-IS coalition. It also set off a frantic, four-day scramble to convince the president either to reverse or delay the decision.Several US politicians of both parties rejected Trump’s claim that the jihadist forces of IS had been defeated, and many in the US military expressed alarm and dismay at the thought of suddenly abandoning their Kurdish allies.Sunday’s revelation came hours after Trump and Erdogan agreed in a phone conversation to prevent a power vacuum in Syria after American ground forces withdraw, the Turkish presidency said Sunday.“The two leaders agreed to ensure coordination between their countries’ military, diplomatic and other officials to avoid a power vacuum, which could result following any abuse of the withdrawal and transition phase in Syria,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement.Earlier, the US president tweeted that he had “a long and productive call” with Erdogan, and also discussed the Islamic State group (IS) and “heavily expanded trade.”An American pullout would allow Turkish troops to move against the hardened Kurdish fighters in Syria deemed terrorists by the Ankara regime — but who have strongly supported US efforts there. A war monitoring group said Saturday that Turkish troops have already been massing near the a Syrian-Kurd border area.Ahead of an expected offensive by Turkey on areas held by the Kurds in Syria, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar was quoted saying by Reuters on Thursday that Kurdish fighters “will be buried in their ditches when the time comes.”Many analysts fear the move will also allow Iran to more easily spread weapons and fighters throughout the Middle East. The US soldiers had been specifically deployed there to fight the Islamic State terror group, but had also helped block the establishment of an Iranian-controlled land corridor from the Islamic Republic through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and to the Mediterranean Sea.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Trump’s decision to withdraw all troops from Syria will not change Israel’s policy of acting against Iranian attempts to establish bases in the neighboring country.Netanyahu told ministers from his Likud party that he plans to discuss the American withdrawal with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo when the two travel to Brazil for the inauguration of President-elect Jair Bolsonoro next week, Channel 10 news reported.Netanyahu spoke with Trump on the phone last Thursday about the US military withdrawal from Syria.The two leaders discussed “ways to continue cooperation between Israel and the United States against Iranian aggression,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said. It did not provide further details.
Turkey: Erdogan, Trump agreed to avoid power vacuum in Syria-Two leaders plan for coordination to prevent ‘any abuse of the withdrawal and transition phase’ in Syrian territory, presidency says-By Agencies and TOI staff-24 December 2018

MKs demand Netanyahu answer questions about spurned Russia-Syria deal-Opposition lawmakers want PM summoned to explain why he rejected deal that would have seen Iranian forces leave Syria, in exchange for lifting sanctions against Tehran-By TOI staff-24 December 2018
Three opposition lawmakers sent a letter to the chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday, demanding that he disclose a letter presented to Israel from Russian officials on a rejected deal that would have removed Iranian-backed forces from Syria.The offer was part of a pitch Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev gave to his Israeli counterpart, Meir Ben-Shabbat, in September, and was aimed at fostering better ties between the United States and Russia through a deal on Iran and Syria, Channel 10 news reported last week.The deal would have seen US forces leave Syria and Iranian militias pushed out, but was rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because it would also have involved an easing of sanctions against Tehran, the TV channel said.The three MKs, Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union), Ofer Shelach (Yesh Atid), and Omer Bar-Lev (Zionist Union), demanded that chairman Avi Dichter (Likud) have the letter presented to the top Knesset committee and that Netanyahu be summoned to appear before the lawmakers to answer questions about the scotched deal.“In light of the importance of the issue to Israel’s security, the (Foreign Affairs and) Defense Committee must understand exactly what the proposal included, what considerations led to the rejection of it, and who were the parties involved in the decision,” the three lawmakers wrote.The report came just a day after US President Donald Trump abruptly announced the withdrawal of all his country’s troops from Syria, asserting that they had accomplished their mission of defeating the Islamic State jihadist group.The announcement sparked concerns among Israeli and US lawmakers, who saw the American presence as also helping curb Iran’s military efforts in Syria, where, alongside Russia and its proxies, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, it is fighting on behalf of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.Another official quoted by Channel 10 said that, if Israel had not rejected the offer, the US pullout could have also been accompanied by the withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria.The report said Patrushev presented the proposal to Ben-Shabbat in Moscow on September 13, just days before ties between Jerusalem and Moscow were sent into a tailspin when 15 Russian servicemen aboard a military aircraft were killed by Syrian air defenses during Israeli airstrikes in Syria.Russia has blamed the Israeli military over that incident — a charge rejected by Israel — and later sent advanced S-300 air defense systems to Syria.The deployment of the S-300s was protested by the US and Israel, as it could complicate ongoing Israeli efforts to prevent Iran deepening its military presence in Syria and to thwart the transfer of weapons in Syria to Hezbollah.Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in recent years against targets linked to Iran, whose leaders have called for the destruction of the Jewish state.Netanyahu spoke with Trump on Thursday about the US military drawdown in Syria, with his office saying they discussed “ways to continue cooperation between Israel and the United States against Iranian aggression.”Earlier Thursday, Netanyahu said Israel would increase its activity in Syria to counter Iran’s influence and proxy militias.Though Trump has in the past said he intended to pull American troops out of Syria, Wednesday’s announcement caught many State Department and Department of Defense officials off guard.Many details of the plan to remove the approximately 2,000 US troops from Syria remain unclear, notably the exact timeline.For Israel, the pullout leaves it without a staunch ally in the fight against Iran in Syria and potentially opens the door for the Islamic Republic to create a so-called “land bridge” through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea.Until now, American troops have been stationed in northeastern Syria, along the Iraqi border, blocking such a corridor, through which Iran could more easily distribute advanced weapons and technology throughout the region, especially to its Lebanese client, the Hezbollah terrorist army.
Palestinian Authority boasts it ‘thwarted’ major land sales to Jews in Jerusalem-Abbas’s troops said to arrest 44 on suspicion of attempting to deal away 740 acres in East Jerusalem and West Bank, with three sentenced to hard labor-By Jacob Magid-24 December 2018
The Palestinian Authority’s security forces announced Sunday that it had “foiled” the sale of roughly 3,000 dunams (741 acres) throughout the West Bank and East Jerusalem to Jews.The PASF statement, posted on its Facebook page, said a large-scale operation to prevent the land sales resulted in the arrests of 44 Palestinians, who had been attempting to sell property near the cities of East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Qalqiliya, and Salfit.Three of the suspects have already been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the statement said.The Ynet news site reported that among the arrested was East Jerusalem resident Issam Akel.The Jerusalem resident had been sought by the PA over his involvement in the sale of a home in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City to Jews.The PA government formed a committee to investigate the sale of the home in the Old City, PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah tweeted on October 9.Palestinian law considers attempting to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews a punishable offense.According to the law, possible punishments for trying to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews include different degrees of hard labor and execution.However, the law requires that PA President Mahmoud Abbas approve any death sentence, and he has not signed off on any executions since 2006.Last month, Israel twice detained Adnan Ghaith, the PA governor of Jerusalem, for his reported connection to Akel’s arrest.The Sunday PASF statement did not specify whether the three sentenced to 15 years of hard labor were the same as the two men given an identical punishment last month.Then, the PA High Judicial Council’s website announced the sentencing of “F.A.E. and A. Kh.

N’DJAMENA, Chad — French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw American forces from Syria, saying “an ally must be reliable.”Speaking in the Chad capital N’Djamena, Macron said “I deeply regret the decision” by Trump to pullout US troops.Trump last week ordered a complete troop pullout from Syria, asserting that the Islamic State group had been defeated, and a significant withdrawal from Afghanistan.“To be an ally is to fight shoulder to shoulder,” Macron said, adding that France was doing just that in Chad in the fight against jihadist groups.“An ally must be reliable, to coordinate with its other allies,” he said.Macron also paid tribute to Defense Secretary James Mattis, who said he was resigning on Thursday after Trump’s Syria announcement.“I want here to pay tribute to General Mattis… for a year we have seen how he was a reliable partner,” Macron said at a news conference with his Chadian counterpart Idriss Dey.Mattis, 68, was one of Trump’s first cabinet picks and has spent nearly two years at the Pentagon.In his resignation letter Mattis spelled out to the world what seemed obvious to many observers: Trump’s world view was irreconcilable with his own.“My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades’ immersion in these issues,” Mattis wrote to Trump, who has sought closer ties with Russia and heaped contempt on NATO and other alliances.“Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position.”Brett McGurk, the US special envoy to the anti-Islamic State group coalition, also announced he would bring his departure forward from February due to the Syria policy change.
Russian fighter jets land in Crimea amid Ukraine tensions-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-December 24, 2018
BELBEK, Crimea (Reuters) - More than a dozen SU-27 and SU-30 fighter jets which Russia is deploying to boost its air force, amid heightened tensions with Ukraine, arrived in Crimea on Saturday.A Reuters witness saw the jets land at Belbek air base in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014 after Moscow-leaning Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich fled Kiev following street clashes and violent protests.Tensions between Moscow and Kiev have risen in the past weeks after Russia seized three Ukrainian navy ships and their crews on Nov. 25 in an incident which Moscow and Kiev have blamed on each other.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has alleged Ukraine was preparing "a provocation" near Crimea before the end of the year.(Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Alexander Smith)

Landslide on Krakatau volcano seen as likely trigger of Indonesia tsunami-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Praveen Menon and Charlotte Greenfield-December 24, 2018
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A large chunk of the southern flank of the volcanic Anak Krakatau island may have slipped into the ocean just minutes before a tsunami hit an Indonesian shore, killing hundreds of people, scientists said on Monday.At least 280 people were killed, hundreds injured and numerous buildings were heavily damaged when the tsunami struck, almost without warning, along the rim of the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra islands, late on Saturday.The timing of the tsunami, over the Christmas holiday season, brought back memories of the Indian Ocean tsunami triggered by an earthquake on Dec. 26, 2004, which killed 226,000 people in 14 countries, including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.Scientists said on Monday that the consensus, based on satellite images and the information available, was that the collapse of a portion of the volcano triggered the killer waves.Images captured by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite showed that a large portion on the southern flank of the volcano slid off into the ocean."Underwater landside is the leading theory," said Sam Taylor-Offord, a seismologist at GNS Science in Wellington."So when that land pushes into the ocean ... it displaces the ocean surface causing the vertical displacement that causes the tsunami," he said, adding however that the lack of data and access made it impossible to ascertain this theory.Anak Krakatau, halfway between Java and Sumatra, has been spewing ash and lava for months. It erupted about 24 minutes before the tsunami struck, and that could have triggered the landslide.Taylor-Offord said the eruption and "high noise environment" may be why the landslide was not recorded seismically.The fact the tsunami was triggered by a volcano, and not by an earthquake, may be the reason why no tsunami warning was signaled, scientists said.Coastal residents reported not seeing or feeling any warning signs, such as an earthquake or receding water along the shore, before waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) high surged in.Jose Borrero, coastal engineering expert specializing in tsunami hazards at eCoast Marine Consulting, said landslide-generated volcanic tsunami behave idiosyncratically, compared with tsunami generated by earthquakes, which are better studied.This is because there are so many different variables and there is a "sweet spot" of exactly the right speed and volume of rocks slipping into and sea and deeper to generate a wave."In Indonesia, we've all been waiting for another big earthquake tsunami and then boom, here we have a volcanic landslide one," said Borrero."I've seen a few bits of imagery that suggest there's some sort of slant collapse that may extend underwater but none of this will be confirmed until there can be an offshore survey where they go and map the sea floor."DANGEROUS CHILD-Anak Krakatau or "child of Krakatau" emerged from the Krakatau volcano, which in 1888 erupted with such force the blast was heard all the way in Perth, said Mika McKinnon, a geophysicist based in Vancouver, Canada.Further eruptions have continued from the massive crater left behind.McKinnon said volcanoes are weak, sloppy heaps of loosely bound rocks all slanted downhill and they slip off all the time.If this happens to be a large portion, then it would displace enough water to trigger a tsunami.There are no early warnings systems that can detect such landslide-driven tsunami.Anak Krakatau is so close to shore there would never have been enough time to react and clear out the population."It's hard to identify landslide-triggered tsunami, especially quickly enough to issue useful warnings," said McKinnon."A similar event at Anak Krakatau might trigger another one, or it might not. Maybe a month later, or year from now. We will never know," she said.(Editing by Robert Birsel)

Netanyahu gives immigration portfolio to Tourism Minister Yariv Levin-Amid pressure over his numerous ministerial positions, PM announces he will make Likud confidant acting immigration and absorption minister-By Raoul Wootliff-DEC 24,18
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday night that he would be handing over the immigration and absorption portfolio to Likud confidant and Tourism Minister Yariv Levin.“I decided to appoint Tourism Minister Yariv Levin to the additional position of immigration minister. Good luck Yariv!” the prime minister tweeted after saying earlier in the day that he would appoint someone to the position by midnight.But Netanyahu, who inherited the ministry from Yisrael Beytenu’s Sofa Landver when her party quit the government in November, opted not to appoint Levin as a permanent replacement but only as an acting minister, a position that cannot be extended beyond three months.The temporary appointment only needs the approval of the cabinet, which came in a ministerial telephone vote after Netanyahu’s announcement, and not a vote of confidence in the Knesset.When Landver, along with former defense minister Avigdor Liberman officially resigned on November 15, Netanyahu became defacto immigration and absorption minister, with the obligation to name either a permanent or temporary replacement within two weeks.Naming himself as defense minister the same day, Netanyahu said he planned to appoint somebody to the immigration and absorption ministry, as well as to the foreign ministry, which he has headed since the 2015 elections.Netanyahu’s decision will likely have angered several Likud lawmakers who had been vying for the position. Likud MK Tzipi Hotovely, who currently serves as deputy foreign minister, had been considered a front-runner to take the role, according to coalition sources. Kulanu MK Michael Oren had also publicly stated his interest in the position, saying party chair Moshe Kahlon had “demanded” he receive it.Amid criticism of his holding a number of key portfolios, Netanyahu told his ministers on Sunday that he would appoint a new immigration minister by midnight and keep another promise to appoint someone else foreign minister by next month. A number of senior Likud ministers are pining for that role, with Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Transportation Minister Israel Katz claiming to have already been promised the portfolio by Netanyahu.On Monday, Knesset members voted to formalize Netanyahu’s appointment as permanent defense minister, a position he took on after Yisrael Beytenu chair Avigdor Liberman resigned, citing Israel’s policy toward Gaza.Netanyahu asserted at the time that Israel was in the middle of a military campaign, which he claimed he was the only person capable of steering the country through.Jewish Home chair Naftali Bennett, who had initially demanded the role for himself, and party number two Ayelet Shaked reportedly voted against the appointment in the cabinet, but supported the parliamentary vote.As well as serving as prime minister, Netanyahu is now also the foreign minister, defense minister and health minister.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Biohacker injects DNA versions of Bible, Quran verses into his body-Adrien Locatelli says he simply wondered whether it would be possible, adds that he excluded religious passages he deemed to be ‘controversial’-By TOI staff-DEC 24,18
A French high school student converted passages from the Bible and Quran into DNA sequences before injecting them into his legs as part of a so-called biohack.Biohacking is the practice of trying to improve the practitioner’s own body by enhancing it through the introduction of chemicals or devices.Adrien Locatelli said he did the experiment simply because he ‘wondered whether it would be possible,’ the Daily Mail reported.Locatelli’s leg was swollen for a few days after he administered the injection, but experts warned the effects could have been far more serious, perhaps even deadly.DNA is composed of four units, each of which is assigned a letter. Locatelli assigned one of those four letters to every character in the religious tracts he selected.These proteins were built in a laboratory, before Locatelli injected them into his thighs.He converted Hebrew passages from Genesis 1:1 to 11:9, excluding 2:10 to 2:14, 5, and 7:1 to 7:5 because they were “controversial,” the Daily Mail reported.Locatelli also converted Arabic passages from Surah Ar-Ra’d, the 13th chapter of the Quran.“Recent studies have reported that it is possible to convert any type of information into DNA for the purpose of storage,” wrote Locatelli in a paper for a biohacking website.“Since it is possible to convert digital information into DNA, I wondered whether it would be possible to convert a religious text into DNA and to inject it in a living being,” he said.“It is the first time that someone injects himself [with] macromolecules developed from a text. It is very symbolic even if it does not have much interest,” Locatelli added.
Sick synagogue worshipers suspect teens poisoned the kugel-Congregants in Beitar Illit settlement say bored youth likely sprayed insecticide on baked noodle casserole-By Jacob Magid-24 December 2018
Religious leaders at a synagogue in the Beitar Illit settlement accused local youth of spraying their kiddush kugel with insecticide, after a number of worshipers were sick after consuming the baked casserole, which was served at the communal meal following Saturday morning services.Officials at the Darchei Hayim synagogue told the ultra-Orthodox Kikar Hashabbat news site that upon noticing that the kugel smelled foul, worshipers entered the kitchen and found a can of K-300 insecticide lying on the floor.The synagogue officials said they have no known communal enemies and the growing assumption is that the kugel-tampering was carried out as a prank by local teens, who were wandering the town, bored, the night before.The officials were considering filing a police complaint, but, as of Sunday evening, had yet to do so.The report did not specify how many congregants fell ill following the consumption of the kugel, and synagogue officials could not be reached for comment.

Top Trump aide says government shutdown may go into New Year-[Reuters]-By Jan Wolfe-YAHOONEWS-December 24, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's budget director and chief of staff on Sunday said the partial U.S. government shutdown could continue to Jan. 3, when the new Congress convenes and Democrats take over the House of Representatives."It's very possible this shutdown will go beyond (December) the 28th and into the new Congress," Mick Mulvaney said on Fox News Sunday."I don't think things are going to move very quickly here for the next few days" because of the Christmas holiday, added Mulvaney, who serves as director of the Office of Management and Budget and was named acting White House chief of staff 10 days ago.The U.S. Senate adjourned on Saturday, unable to break an impasse over Trump's demand for more funds for a wall on the border with Mexico that Democrats are unwilling to accept.Mulvaney said the White House made a "counter-offer" to Democrats on funding for border security that fell between the Democratic offer of $1.3 billion and Trump's demand for $5 billion.As part of those talks on Saturday, Vice President Mike Pence offered to drop the demand for $5 billion for a border wall, substituting instead $2.1 billion, ABC News reported, citing unnamed sources.A Democratic source familiar with the negotiations said real discussions have been happening between Democratic lawmakers and Republican Senator Richard Shelby, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who has been talking to the White House. It was unclear what Democrats had offered.Mulvaney sought to shift blame for the partial shutdown to Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic nominee for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, saying she might hold up negotiations to ensure she secures the position."I think she's in that unfortunate position of being beholden to her left wing to where she cannot be seen as agreeing with the president on anything until after she is speaker," Mulvaney said. "If that's the case, again, there's a chance we go into the next Congress."Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill disputed that account, saying in a statement: "As Mr. Mulvaney well knows, House Democrats are united in their opposition to the President's immoral, expensive and ineffective wall."The White House should "stop the posturing and start serious bipartisan talks," Hammill said.Financing for about a quarter of federal government programs - including the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and Agriculture - expired at midnight on Friday. More than 400,000 "essential" employees in those agencies will work without pay until the dispute is resolved. Another 380,000 will be "furloughed," meaning they are put on temporary leave.Law enforcement efforts, border patrols, mail delivery and airport operations will keep running.Building a wall to try to prevent migrants from entering the United States illegally was a central plank of Trump's presidential campaign, but Democrats are vehemently opposed and have rejected his funding request.Trump reiterated his push for border security on Sunday, saying on Twitter that "the only way" to stop drugs, gangs, and human trafficking at the border was with a wall or barrier."Drones and all of the rest are wonderful and lots of fun, but it is only a good old fashioned Wall that works!," the president said in the tweet.Earlier in the week, leaders in both the Senate and House thought they had reached a deal that Trump would sign that contained less money for border security, only to watch the president, under pressure from conservatives, re-assert his demand for $5 billion at the last minute.Senator David Perdue, a Republican from Georgia on the Senate Banking Committee, said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that he thought a deal this week was possible."I spoke to the president last night, he wants that," Purdue said, adding: "I'm hopeful that cooler heads will prevail and we'll get to some number between $1.6 (billion) and $5 billion on that."(Reporting by Jan Wolfe and Lesley Wroughton; Editing by Mary Milliken, Daniel Wallis and Rosalba O'Brien)

Lebanese, some in yellow vests, take to the streets to protest corruption-Brief scuffles break out as demonstrators demand improved health care, jobs; protesters call for an end to political deadlock that has gripped the country since May elections-By Sarah El Deeb-DEC 24,18
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Hundreds of Lebanese protested against deteriorating economic conditions Sunday, with some briefly scuffling with army troops, as public anger mounts against politicians deadlocked over forming a new government since May.The army appealed for calm in a statement, urging protesters to remain peaceful.The protesters marched to the government building in central Beirut, carrying placards that called for an end to the deadlock and corruption. Some protesters sported the yellow vests worn by anti-government protesters in France. The call for the protests began on social media, with some using the symbol of a yellow vest with a cedar tree, a national symbol that appears on the country’s flag.The protests grew rowdy and angry protesters pelted security forces with water bottles.Security forces deployed, setting up barricades separating them from the protesters in a standoff that locked down the city center. By mid-afternoon, the demonstration began to fizzle but scores of protesters marched to a commercial district in Beirut, chanting “revolution” and urging others to join them. Some protesters tried to block roads, using dumpsters and iron rods to stop traffic.Local media and TV stations aired footage of army personnel chasing protesters when the scuffles broke out.The army’s statement said it would not tolerate attacks on public property.Two local media outlets, Al-Jadeed TV and the Daily Star newspaper, said their reporters were attacked by security forces. Al-Jadeed said its cameraman’s arm was broken and his camera smashed.The scuffles in Beirut prompted a smaller, calmer solidarity rally in the southern town of Nabatiyeh.Protests have spread in recent weeks as rival politicians have failed to form a new government following parliamentary elections in May.Highly publicized efforts to form a compromise national unity government faltered Saturday, fueling the protesters’ anger the following day.Demonstrators chanted: “The people want to bring down the regime,” a slogan from the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings.The protesters, who said they didn’t represent any particular political party, demanded improved health care, jobs and an end to corruption.“We want a government,” shouted one protester to a TV reporter.“I am here to fight against the corruption of the state. We are here to bring back our social services. We need our rights. We need to live as human beings. We need that our government respects us,” said Michel al-Hajj, another protester.Lebanon’s political system is sectarian; Religious factions share power to maintain a delicate balance years after the country’s civil war ended in 1990.But politicians are divided, among other issues, over the war in neighboring Syria, often paralyzing decision-making in Lebanon.
Trump said to have told Erdogan that Syria is, ‘all yours. We are done’-CNN reports new details from December 14 call between the two leaders which led to announcement of withdrawal of US troops from Syria-By TOI staff and Agencies-DEC 24,18
US President Donald Trump told his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a December 14 phone call that he was “done” with the presence of American troops in Syria, CNN reported Monday.A senior Trump administration official who received a readout of the call told the network that Erdogan was explaining the problems he had with the presence of American forces in Syria and discussing a possible pullout, when the US president reportedly said, “OK, it’s all yours. We are done.”According to CNN, Erdogan told Trump that Islamic State had nearly been defeated in the country, and gave him assurances that Turkey would continue to fight the terrorist group.Trump shocked US allies last week, when he announced plans to pull the 2,000 US troops out of Syria, where they have been helping coordinate a multinational fight against IS.The president stunned his cabinet, lawmakers and much of the world with the pullout move by rejecting the advice of his top aides and agreeing to a withdrawal in the phone call with Erdogan last week. But the move was lauded by Turkey.The December 14 call, previously described by officials who were not authorized to discuss the decision-making process publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, provides insight into a consequential Trump decision that prompted the resignation of widely respected Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, as well as of Brett McGurk, the special envoy to the anti-IS coalition. It also set off a frantic, four-day scramble to convince the president either to reverse or delay the decision.Several US politicians of both parties rejected Trump’s claim that the jihadist forces of IS had been defeated, and many in the US military expressed alarm and dismay at the thought of suddenly abandoning their Kurdish allies.Sunday’s revelation came hours after Trump and Erdogan agreed in a phone conversation to prevent a power vacuum in Syria after American ground forces withdraw, the Turkish presidency said Sunday.“The two leaders agreed to ensure coordination between their countries’ military, diplomatic and other officials to avoid a power vacuum, which could result following any abuse of the withdrawal and transition phase in Syria,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement.Earlier, the US president tweeted that he had “a long and productive call” with Erdogan, and also discussed the Islamic State group (IS) and “heavily expanded trade.”An American pullout would allow Turkish troops to move against the hardened Kurdish fighters in Syria deemed terrorists by the Ankara regime — but who have strongly supported US efforts there. A war monitoring group said Saturday that Turkish troops have already been massing near the a Syrian-Kurd border area.Ahead of an expected offensive by Turkey on areas held by the Kurds in Syria, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar was quoted saying by Reuters on Thursday that Kurdish fighters “will be buried in their ditches when the time comes.”Many analysts fear the move will also allow Iran to more easily spread weapons and fighters throughout the Middle East. The US soldiers had been specifically deployed there to fight the Islamic State terror group, but had also helped block the establishment of an Iranian-controlled land corridor from the Islamic Republic through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and to the Mediterranean Sea.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Trump’s decision to withdraw all troops from Syria will not change Israel’s policy of acting against Iranian attempts to establish bases in the neighboring country.Netanyahu told ministers from his Likud party that he plans to discuss the American withdrawal with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo when the two travel to Brazil for the inauguration of President-elect Jair Bolsonoro next week, Channel 10 news reported.Netanyahu spoke with Trump on the phone last Thursday about the US military withdrawal from Syria.The two leaders discussed “ways to continue cooperation between Israel and the United States against Iranian aggression,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US counterpart Donald Trump agreed in a phone conversation Sunday to prevent a power vacuum in Syria after American ground forces withdraw, the Turkish presidency said Sunday.“The two leaders agreed to ensure coordination between their countries’ military, diplomatic and other officials to avoid a power vacuum, which could result following any abuse of the withdrawal and transition phase in Syria,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement.Earlier, the US president tweeted that he had “a long and productive call” with Erdogan, and also discussed the Islamic State group (IS) and “heavily expanded trade.”Trump shocked US allies last week, when he announced plans to pull the 2,000 US troops out of Syria, where they have been helping coordinate a multinational fight against IS. But the move was lauded by Turkey.The decision followed an earlier Trump phone call with Erdogan, who has been pressing for a US withdrawal.An American pullout would allow Turkish troops to move against the hardened Kurdish fighters in Syria deemed terrorists by the Ankara regime — but who have strongly supported US efforts there. A war monitoring group said Saturday that Turkish troops have already been massing near the a Syrian-Kurd border area.Many analysts fear the move will also allow Iran to more easily spread weapons and fighters throughout the Middle East. The US soldiers had been specifically deployed there to fight the Islamic State terror group, but had also helped block the establishment of an Iranian-controlled land corridor from the Islamic Republic through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and to the Mediterranean Sea.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Trump’s decision to withdraw all troops from Syria will not change Israel’s policy of acting against Iranian attempts to establish bases in the neighboring country.Netanyahu told ministers from his Likud party that he plans to discuss the American withdrawal with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo when the two travel to Brazil for the inauguration of President-elect Jair Bolsonoro next week, Channel 10 news reported.Netanyahu spoke with Trump on the phone last Thursday about the US military withdrawal from Syria.The two leaders discussed “ways to continue cooperation between Israel and the United States against Iranian aggression,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said. It did not provide further details.Trump stunned his cabinet, lawmakers and much of the world with the pullout move by rejecting the advice of his top aides and agreeing to a withdrawal in a phone call with Erdogan last week, two US officials and a Turkish official briefed on the matter told The Associated Press.The December 14 call, described by officials who were not authorized to discuss the decision-making process publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, provides insight into a consequential Trump decision that prompted the resignation of widely respected Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, as well as of Brett McGurk, the special envoy to the anti-IS coalition. It also set off a frantic, four-day scramble to convince the president either to reverse or delay the decision.Several US politicians of both parties rejected Trump’s claim that the jihadist forces of IS had been defeated, and many in the US military expressed alarm and dismay at the thought of suddenly abandoning their Kurdish allies.
MKs demand Netanyahu answer questions about spurned Russia-Syria deal-Opposition lawmakers want PM summoned to explain why he rejected deal that would have seen Iranian forces leave Syria, in exchange for lifting sanctions against Tehran-By TOI staff-24 December 2018
Three opposition lawmakers sent a letter to the chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday, demanding that he disclose a letter presented to Israel from Russian officials on a rejected deal that would have removed Iranian-backed forces from Syria.The offer was part of a pitch Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev gave to his Israeli counterpart, Meir Ben-Shabbat, in September, and was aimed at fostering better ties between the United States and Russia through a deal on Iran and Syria, Channel 10 news reported last week.The deal would have seen US forces leave Syria and Iranian militias pushed out, but was rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because it would also have involved an easing of sanctions against Tehran, the TV channel said.The three MKs, Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union), Ofer Shelach (Yesh Atid), and Omer Bar-Lev (Zionist Union), demanded that chairman Avi Dichter (Likud) have the letter presented to the top Knesset committee and that Netanyahu be summoned to appear before the lawmakers to answer questions about the scotched deal.“In light of the importance of the issue to Israel’s security, the (Foreign Affairs and) Defense Committee must understand exactly what the proposal included, what considerations led to the rejection of it, and who were the parties involved in the decision,” the three lawmakers wrote.The report came just a day after US President Donald Trump abruptly announced the withdrawal of all his country’s troops from Syria, asserting that they had accomplished their mission of defeating the Islamic State jihadist group.The announcement sparked concerns among Israeli and US lawmakers, who saw the American presence as also helping curb Iran’s military efforts in Syria, where, alongside Russia and its proxies, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, it is fighting on behalf of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.Another official quoted by Channel 10 said that, if Israel had not rejected the offer, the US pullout could have also been accompanied by the withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria.The report said Patrushev presented the proposal to Ben-Shabbat in Moscow on September 13, just days before ties between Jerusalem and Moscow were sent into a tailspin when 15 Russian servicemen aboard a military aircraft were killed by Syrian air defenses during Israeli airstrikes in Syria.Russia has blamed the Israeli military over that incident — a charge rejected by Israel — and later sent advanced S-300 air defense systems to Syria.The deployment of the S-300s was protested by the US and Israel, as it could complicate ongoing Israeli efforts to prevent Iran deepening its military presence in Syria and to thwart the transfer of weapons in Syria to Hezbollah.Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in recent years against targets linked to Iran, whose leaders have called for the destruction of the Jewish state.Netanyahu spoke with Trump on Thursday about the US military drawdown in Syria, with his office saying they discussed “ways to continue cooperation between Israel and the United States against Iranian aggression.”Earlier Thursday, Netanyahu said Israel would increase its activity in Syria to counter Iran’s influence and proxy militias.Though Trump has in the past said he intended to pull American troops out of Syria, Wednesday’s announcement caught many State Department and Department of Defense officials off guard.Many details of the plan to remove the approximately 2,000 US troops from Syria remain unclear, notably the exact timeline.For Israel, the pullout leaves it without a staunch ally in the fight against Iran in Syria and potentially opens the door for the Islamic Republic to create a so-called “land bridge” through Iraq and Syria, into Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea.Until now, American troops have been stationed in northeastern Syria, along the Iraqi border, blocking such a corridor, through which Iran could more easily distribute advanced weapons and technology throughout the region, especially to its Lebanese client, the Hezbollah terrorist army.
Palestinian Authority boasts it ‘thwarted’ major land sales to Jews in Jerusalem-Abbas’s troops said to arrest 44 on suspicion of attempting to deal away 740 acres in East Jerusalem and West Bank, with three sentenced to hard labor-By Jacob Magid-24 December 2018
The Palestinian Authority’s security forces announced Sunday that it had “foiled” the sale of roughly 3,000 dunams (741 acres) throughout the West Bank and East Jerusalem to Jews.The PASF statement, posted on its Facebook page, said a large-scale operation to prevent the land sales resulted in the arrests of 44 Palestinians, who had been attempting to sell property near the cities of East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Qalqiliya, and Salfit.Three of the suspects have already been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the statement said.The Ynet news site reported that among the arrested was East Jerusalem resident Issam Akel.The Jerusalem resident had been sought by the PA over his involvement in the sale of a home in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City to Jews.The PA government formed a committee to investigate the sale of the home in the Old City, PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah tweeted on October 9.Palestinian law considers attempting to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews a punishable offense.According to the law, possible punishments for trying to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews include different degrees of hard labor and execution.However, the law requires that PA President Mahmoud Abbas approve any death sentence, and he has not signed off on any executions since 2006.Last month, Israel twice detained Adnan Ghaith, the PA governor of Jerusalem, for his reported connection to Akel’s arrest.The Sunday PASF statement did not specify whether the three sentenced to 15 years of hard labor were the same as the two men given an identical punishment last month.Then, the PA High Judicial Council’s website announced the sentencing of “F.A.E. and A. Kh. M. from Kafr Thulth in the Qalqilya Governorate for the crime of leaking land to the enemy.”Separately, in early November, the body of Ala’a Qirsh, one of six Palestinians who died in a major road accident in the Jordan Valley, was barred from being buried in a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem over allegations that he had sold property to Israeli Jews, an official in the Jerusalem Waqf told The Times of Israel.The PASF statement called on Palestinians to “exercise caution” in handling their property to prevent the transfer of land “to the occupation.”Adam Rasgon contributed to this report.
Macron says ‘an ally must be reliable’ after US Syria pullout-French president also praises James Mattis, who resigned as defense secretary saying allies must ‘be treated with respect’-By AFP-24 December 2018
N’DJAMENA, Chad — French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw American forces from Syria, saying “an ally must be reliable.”Speaking in the Chad capital N’Djamena, Macron said “I deeply regret the decision” by Trump to pullout US troops.Trump last week ordered a complete troop pullout from Syria, asserting that the Islamic State group had been defeated, and a significant withdrawal from Afghanistan.“To be an ally is to fight shoulder to shoulder,” Macron said, adding that France was doing just that in Chad in the fight against jihadist groups.“An ally must be reliable, to coordinate with its other allies,” he said.Macron also paid tribute to Defense Secretary James Mattis, who said he was resigning on Thursday after Trump’s Syria announcement.“I want here to pay tribute to General Mattis… for a year we have seen how he was a reliable partner,” Macron said at a news conference with his Chadian counterpart Idriss Dey.Mattis, 68, was one of Trump’s first cabinet picks and has spent nearly two years at the Pentagon.In his resignation letter Mattis spelled out to the world what seemed obvious to many observers: Trump’s world view was irreconcilable with his own.“My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades’ immersion in these issues,” Mattis wrote to Trump, who has sought closer ties with Russia and heaped contempt on NATO and other alliances.“Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position.”Brett McGurk, the US special envoy to the anti-Islamic State group coalition, also announced he would bring his departure forward from February due to the Syria policy change.
Russian fighter jets land in Crimea amid Ukraine tensions-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-December 24, 2018
BELBEK, Crimea (Reuters) - More than a dozen SU-27 and SU-30 fighter jets which Russia is deploying to boost its air force, amid heightened tensions with Ukraine, arrived in Crimea on Saturday.A Reuters witness saw the jets land at Belbek air base in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014 after Moscow-leaning Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich fled Kiev following street clashes and violent protests.Tensions between Moscow and Kiev have risen in the past weeks after Russia seized three Ukrainian navy ships and their crews on Nov. 25 in an incident which Moscow and Kiev have blamed on each other.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has alleged Ukraine was preparing "a provocation" near Crimea before the end of the year.(Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Alexander Smith)

Landslide on Krakatau volcano seen as likely trigger of Indonesia tsunami-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Praveen Menon and Charlotte Greenfield-December 24, 2018
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A large chunk of the southern flank of the volcanic Anak Krakatau island may have slipped into the ocean just minutes before a tsunami hit an Indonesian shore, killing hundreds of people, scientists said on Monday.At least 280 people were killed, hundreds injured and numerous buildings were heavily damaged when the tsunami struck, almost without warning, along the rim of the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra islands, late on Saturday.The timing of the tsunami, over the Christmas holiday season, brought back memories of the Indian Ocean tsunami triggered by an earthquake on Dec. 26, 2004, which killed 226,000 people in 14 countries, including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.Scientists said on Monday that the consensus, based on satellite images and the information available, was that the collapse of a portion of the volcano triggered the killer waves.Images captured by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite showed that a large portion on the southern flank of the volcano slid off into the ocean."Underwater landside is the leading theory," said Sam Taylor-Offord, a seismologist at GNS Science in Wellington."So when that land pushes into the ocean ... it displaces the ocean surface causing the vertical displacement that causes the tsunami," he said, adding however that the lack of data and access made it impossible to ascertain this theory.Anak Krakatau, halfway between Java and Sumatra, has been spewing ash and lava for months. It erupted about 24 minutes before the tsunami struck, and that could have triggered the landslide.Taylor-Offord said the eruption and "high noise environment" may be why the landslide was not recorded seismically.The fact the tsunami was triggered by a volcano, and not by an earthquake, may be the reason why no tsunami warning was signaled, scientists said.Coastal residents reported not seeing or feeling any warning signs, such as an earthquake or receding water along the shore, before waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) high surged in.Jose Borrero, coastal engineering expert specializing in tsunami hazards at eCoast Marine Consulting, said landslide-generated volcanic tsunami behave idiosyncratically, compared with tsunami generated by earthquakes, which are better studied.This is because there are so many different variables and there is a "sweet spot" of exactly the right speed and volume of rocks slipping into and sea and deeper to generate a wave."In Indonesia, we've all been waiting for another big earthquake tsunami and then boom, here we have a volcanic landslide one," said Borrero."I've seen a few bits of imagery that suggest there's some sort of slant collapse that may extend underwater but none of this will be confirmed until there can be an offshore survey where they go and map the sea floor."DANGEROUS CHILD-Anak Krakatau or "child of Krakatau" emerged from the Krakatau volcano, which in 1888 erupted with such force the blast was heard all the way in Perth, said Mika McKinnon, a geophysicist based in Vancouver, Canada.Further eruptions have continued from the massive crater left behind.McKinnon said volcanoes are weak, sloppy heaps of loosely bound rocks all slanted downhill and they slip off all the time.If this happens to be a large portion, then it would displace enough water to trigger a tsunami.There are no early warnings systems that can detect such landslide-driven tsunami.Anak Krakatau is so close to shore there would never have been enough time to react and clear out the population."It's hard to identify landslide-triggered tsunami, especially quickly enough to issue useful warnings," said McKinnon."A similar event at Anak Krakatau might trigger another one, or it might not. Maybe a month later, or year from now. We will never know," she said.(Editing by Robert Birsel)
