Five arrested as police scuffle with Muslim
activists on Temple Mount-Palestinians say four injured in fighting;
police say group refused to heed repeated requests not to interfere with
visit by religious Jews-By TOI staff-19 September 2018
Police
arrested five Muslim activists on the Temple Mount on Tuesday and
accused them of trying to obstruct a group of Jewish visitors touring
the flashpoint Jerusalem holy site.The arrests came hours ahead of the
Jewish high holy day of Yom Kippur, which begins Tuesday evening.
Tensions are often increased around Jewish holidays, which often see an
uptick in the number of Jewish visitors to the site.According to the
police and video from the scene, the five suspects belong to the Al-Aqsa
Youth organization and had blocked a group of Jewish religious
visitors.“Police asked them several times not to disturb the public
order and not to interfere with the proper functioning of the visits,
but they did not respond,” a police spokesperson said in a
statement.Video from the incident released by the left-wing Ir Amim
organization showed police scuffling with a group of Muslims on the
compound, which houses the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and
is known as the Haram al-Sharif in Arabic.According to Ir Amim, police
had tried to move two people who work for the Waqf Islamic endowment,
which administers the site, from a path where the Jewish visitors had
been walking.A Waqf spokesperson said four people were injured in the
fighting.The spokesperson accused the police of “assaulting …Waqf
officials, mosque guards, and worshipers,” the official Palestinian
Authority news outlet Wafa reported.According to the prevailing status
quo at the site, Jews are allowed to visit but not pray there. Visits by
religious Jews are closely guarded by a police escort and Waqf
representatives generally also follow the groups closely.Police said
earlier in the week that they would beef up the presence in the Old City
for Yom Kippur and the Muslim holy day of Ashura, which falls the next
day.Adam Rasgon contributed to this report.
Elizabeth Smart says prison release of her captor poses danger-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018
(Reuters)
- Elizabeth Smart, the Utah woman whose kidnapping as a 14-year-old
drew national attention to the issue of crimes against children, said in
an interview that the release of one of her kidnappers on Wednesday
poses a danger to the public.Smart was taken at knifepoint in 2002 from
the bed she shared with her sister. A passerby spotted her nine months
later when she was walking down the street with her two captors, a
homeless street preacher and his wife, and called the police.One of
Smart's captors, Brian David Mitchell, was sentenced to life
imprisonment. But his 72-year-old wife, Wanda Barzee, was scheduled for
release on Wednesday after serving a 15-year prison sentence for
kidnapping and unlawfully transporting a minor."I do believe she's still
a danger," Smart, now 30, said in an interview with "CBS This Morning"
that aired on Tuesday and Wednesday."I am very concerned for the
community, for the public, as much as I am for myself," Smart added.In
the interview, Smart described Barzee, who she said would encourage
Mitchell to rape Smart, as "evil and twisted." Smart characterized an
apology letter Barzee, which the woman wrote to her as part of her plea
deal, as insincere.Barzee was released at 8 a.m. MDT (1400 GMT),
according to news media reports. She will be supervised by U.S.
Probation and Pretrial Services for five years, said Greg Johnson,
administrative coordinator for the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole.An
attorney for Barzee did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.Barzee was initially scheduled to be in prison until January
2024, but after prison officials determined they had miscalculated the
length of her sentence, her release date was moved up.Despite her
concerns, Smart said she had forgiven her captor and moved on. She is
married with two children and expecting a third, and has become an
advocate for preventing the sexual abuse and exploitation of
children.(Reporting by Makini Brice in Washington; editing by Joseph Ax

Doubts arise over whether Trump court
nominee's accuser will testify-[Reuters]-By Lawrence Hurley and Richard
Cowan-YAHOONEWS-September 18, 2018
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
A woman who has accused President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault decades ago has not yet agreed to
testify at a U.S. Senate hearing set for next Monday, raising questions
about whether the high-stakes public showdown will take place.Christine
Blasey Ford, a university professor in California whose allegations have
put Kavanaugh's once-safe nomination in jeopardy, has not responded to
attempts by the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee to contact her
about appearing at the hearing, committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said
on Tuesday.Trump stepped up his defense of Kavanaugh and expressed
sympathy toward his nominee, who met with officials at the White House
for a second straight day though not with the president."I feel so badly
for him that he's going through this, to be honest with you," Trump
told a news conference. "... This is not a man that deserves
this.""Hopefully the woman will come forward, state her case. He will
state his case before representatives of the United States Senate. And
then they will vote," Trump added.The hearing represents a potential
make-or-break moment for the conservative federal appeals court judge's
confirmation chances for the lifetime post on the top U.S. court, as
Trump pursues his goal of moving the federal judiciary to the right.Ford
has accused Kavanaugh of trying to attack her and remove her clothing
while he was drunk in 1982 in a Maryland suburb outside Washington when
they were students at different high schools. Kavanaugh has called the
allegation "completely false."Republicans control the Senate by only a
narrow margin, meaning any defections within the party could sink the
nomination and deal a major setback to Trump.Senator John Cornyn, a
member of the Senate Republican leadership, appeared to cast doubt on
Ford's allegations."We just don't know what happened 36 years ago and
there are gaps in her memory. She doesn't know how she got there, when
it was, and so that would logically be something where she would get
questions," Cornyn told reporters.Cornyn's fellow Republicans have
generally avoided criticizing Ford, instead castigating Democrats for
not revealing her allegations earlier.The confirmation fight comes just
weeks before the Nov. 6 congressional elections in which Democrats are
seeking to take control of Congress from Trump's fellow Republicans,
which could be a major blow to his agenda.Grassley, whose committee
oversees the confirmation process, initially said the planned hearing
would be public but other Republicans indicated it could be held
privately if Ford requests that.Chuck Schumer, the top Senate Democrat,
urged Republicans not to "rush the hearings."Democrats, already fiercely
opposed to the nominee, wrote a letter to Grassley objecting to the
planned format of the hearing, which was announced on Monday, including
having just Kavanaugh and Ford as witnesses.'DESERVES TO BE HEARD'-"We
have reached out to her in the last 36 hours, three or four times by
email, and we've not heard from them. So it kind of raises the question
... do they want to come to (the) public hearing or not?" Grassley said
in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt."I want to hear
from Dr. Ford," Grassley said. "And she deserves to be heard because
these are serious accusations. And I would surely hope she'd come
Monday."Ford detailed her allegation in a letter sent in July to Senator
Dianne Feinstein, the committee's top Democrat. The letter's contents
leaked last week and Ford identified herself in an interview with the
Washington Post published on Sunday that included details about the
alleged assault.Debra Katz, a lawyer representing Ford, said in
television interviews on Monday that the professor would be willing to
testify and called the alleged incident "attempted rape." Katz did not
respond to Reuters requests for comment.Democrats have so far also
refused to cooperate with the committee's Republican leadership. They
have asked that the FBI conduct an investigation, a request that
Republicans have rebuffed. Trump and other Republicans said they do not
think the FBI needs to be involved.Feinstein said there should be more
than just two witnesses, possibly to include people who Ford previously
confided in. The committee's Democrats said witnesses should include
Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge, who Ford has said witnessed the alleged
incident.A lawyer representing Judge sent a letter to Grassley saying
Judge does not want to speak publicly about the matter."In fact, I have
no memory of this alleged incident. Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends
in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford's
letter. More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford
describes," the letter quoted Judge as saying.Judge is the author of a
1997 memoir titled "Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk," which recounts his
experiences as a teenage alcoholic.One Democratic senator, Richard
Blumenthal, said Kavanaugh should withdraw his nomination."I believe Dr.
Ford. I believe the survivor here," Blumenthal said. "... She has come
forward courageously and bravely, knowing she would face a nightmare of
possible and vicious scrutiny."Republican staffers quizzed Kavanaugh
about the allegations on a call on Monday evening in which the Democrats
refused to participate. Committee spokesman Taylor Foy said other
witnesses would be questioned ahead of the hearing.The showdown has
echoes of current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' contentious
confirmation hearings in 1991 involving sexual harassment allegations
lodged against him by a law professor named Anita Hill. Thomas, the
court's second black justice, was ultimately confirmed, but only after a
nasty televised hearing in which Hill faced pointed questions from
Republican senators and the nominee said he was the victim of "a
high-tech lynching for uppity blacks."Grassley offered his assurance
that Ford would be treated respectfully and not badgered during the
hearing. All 11 Republicans on the committee are men. Four of the
Democrats are women.Trump picked Kavanaugh in July to replace retired
conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy.(Reporting by Lawrence Hurley and

May
and other EU leaders ask each other for Brexit help-[Reuters]-By
Gabriela Baczynska and Elizabeth Piper-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018
SALZBURG,
Austria (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May urged fellow
European Union leaders at an informal summit on Wednesday to follow her
lead and adapt their Brexit negotiating stance to secure a good
deal.However, before a dinner in the Austrian city of Salzburg, some of
those leaders said key elements of the "Chequers" plan that May was
aiming to sell to them needed reworking.With just over six months to go
until Britain leaves the EU, both sides are keen to secure some kind of
deal on future relations before the end of the year, to avert a
disruptive "cliff-edge" exit from EU agreements and institutions."If
we’re going to achieve a successful conclusion then, just as the UK has
evolved its position, the EU will need to evolve its position too," May
told reporters on arrival in Salzburg. "I’m confident that, with
goodwill and determination, we can agree a deal that right for both
parties."EU summit chairman Donald Tusk said some elements of the
British plan indicated a "positive evolution" in the UK's approach."On
other issues, such as the Irish question, or the framework for economic
cooperation, the UK's proposals will need to be reworked and further
negotiated," he said.European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker
said a deal with Britain was still "far away", an EU official said.One
of the biggest stumbling blocks is the need to prevent border posts
being erected between the British province of Northern Ireland and EU
member Ireland."THE ONLY CREDIBLE PLAN"-May said her Chequers proposal
on a future customs and trade arrangement would maintain "frictionless
trade" with the bloc, and that it was "the only credible and negotiable
plan on the table that delivers no hard border in Northern Ireland and
also delivers on the vote of the British people".May's proposal calls
for Britain to remain in a free trade zone with the EU for agricultural
and manufactured goods, which would be covered after Brexit by a "common
rulebook" of regulations.And she has said she will not accept an EU
proposal that would keep Northern Ireland in a customs union with the
bloc if there is no other plan in place to prevent a hard border across
the island of Ireland.A British government source said London welcomed
the EU's commitment to finding a solution to the border issue, but could
not accept any proposal that would effectively move the customs
frontier into the Irish Sea.At dinner at the Felsenreitschule theater --
known to film fans for a scene in the musical "The Sound of Music" --
May was due to make another pitch for support for her Chequers plan.She
will then be out of the room on Thursday afternoon when the other 27
leaders discuss her Brexit proposals.Tusk said he would call an
additional summit in mid-November to seal any deal with Britain.British
Brexit Minister Dominic Raab told London's LBC radio that if the EU did
not move toward Britain's position, it would be "lose-lose" for both
sides."NOTHING ON IRELAND"But the summit host, Austrian Chancellor
Sebastian Kurz, said that, while a no-deal Brexit would be difficult for
the EU, it would be terrible for Britain."If you want to make a deal,
both sides will need to try to find a compromise," he said. "I am still
optimistic."Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn told Reuters that
the Irish border question remained fraught: "We have nothing on
Ireland."According to an EU official, Barnier has suggested going to the
"bare bones" on any checks between the rest of Britain and Northern
Ireland, which could be further reduced if there is a trade facilitation
agreement similar to that with Japan.But Northern Ireland's Democratic
Unionist Party, which backs May's minority government in Westminster
said that would still mean an unacceptable border between the province
and the rest of the United Kingdom.The government source said: "We have
been very clear that what we cannot accept is Northern Ireland being
separated off from the UK customs territory."EU officials are minded not
to paint May into a corner, aware that she faces increasing opposition
to her plans in her Conservative Party and needs a victory of sorts to
persuade a reluctant parliament to back a deal.May has told lawmakers
that they will vote either for a Chequers-based deal or to leave without
an agreement. Mel Stride, a junior treasury minister, said pro-Brexit
and pro-EU lawmakers could usher in a second referendum on EU membership
if they reject her plan."They'll end up in the situation where we could
have a second referendum and we could end up not leaving the EU
altogether," he told Sky News. "There is a danger of that
happening."(Additional reporting by Alastair Macdonald, Francois Murphy

As cannabis comes to
Canada, communities welcome accompanying job boom-[Christian Science
Monitor]-Sara Miller Llana-YAHOONEWS-•September 19, 2018
Doubling
the staff; tripling the number of grow rooms; quintupling
production.These are just some of the goals that Ram Davloor, the
general manager of medicinal cannabis producer 7ACRES, shares with
employees in a company strategy session ahead of the legalization of
recreational marijuana on Oct. 17 in Canada.“All of you who have come in
right now are coming into a business that’s right at the very
beginning,” Mr. Davloor tells the three dozen employees gathered at
company headquarters in Kincardine, a municipality of about 11,000 on
Lake Huron. “And this industry is going to be around for the next 200
years. So all of you here, if you think you are coming late, you are
wrong.”Recommended: As war vets enter the fray, stigma lessens around
cannabis-His words seem to have moved the crowd, especially as he lists
the production aims of 50,000 kilograms annually of premium cannabis,
with each gram selling at an estimated $6 (Canadian, US$4.60), by the
end of next year. Adam Schacher, a team lead hired six months ago,
breaks in. “Did anyone else do that on their calculator? Fifty thousand
kilograms of premium cannabis. That will gross $300 million a year. This
will pay power bills, water bills. This is quite a thing.” Applause and
cheers erupt.They are calling it a “green rush.” The legalization of
recreational cannabis in Canada, the first major world economy and only
the second country in the world to do so after Uruguay, has touched off
frenzied economic activity across Canada. Entrepreneurs and investors
are pushing their way through the doors, while those already supplying
the medical arena like 7ACRES scale up to target a much bigger audience.
Sales alone could amount to $7.2 billion, half of that the legal
recreational market, by this time next year, according to a study by
Deloitte in June.And that’s not including the ripple effects of new
infrastructure, technology, or construction. There are even new college
programs dedicated to commercial cannabis production. “It is a big deal
to us,” says Sharon Chambers, the chief administrative officer in
Kincardine.Many unknowns remain, including how ready governments will be
to implement the law, how high unintended costs might be, and whether
this “green rush” is just a bubble that will burst. And there is a
cultural dissonance depending on how you see the issue affecting your
community. But the move is also being viewed as a potential solution
that could stamp out an illicit market while it generates new taxes and
jobs. Nowhere is hope higher than in municipalities with cannabis
production facilities, especially where they’ve taken over inactive
plants and symbolize the rise of a new industry.“I think we're going to
show the rest of world how it can be done properly,” says Shawn Pankow,
the mayor of Smiths Falls, where Canopy Growth, North America’s first
publicly traded cannabis supplier, based itself four years ago.THE POT
BOOM-Smiths Falls, about 40 miles south of Ottawa, used to be known as
“Hershey Town” before the chocolate factory shuttered its doors. Today
the ailing community of about 9,000 has re-emerged as the cannabis
capital of Canada, says Mr. Pankow with pride.Marijuana producer Tweed, a
subsidiary of Canopy Growth, is now Smiths Falls’ largest employer and
has generated growth across industries. Pankow says last year his town
saw $30 million in construction volume, more than the previous four
years combined, while this year they’ve already exceeded $150 million,
mostly due to the cannabis industry. They also hope to draw cannabis
tourists. “This has been moving faster than we ever expected,” he
says.Murray Clarke, who was Kincardine’s chief administrative officer
when 7ACRES opened its doors, says it helped diversify the local
economy, which is marked by high-paid jobs at Bruce Power, a nuclear
generator, and the low-paid service sector. It is telling that there was
no pushback from the town council to the production plant. The
municipality even sent a letter in support of 7ACRES in March when the
government was reviewing the Cannabis Act, noting that the company was
honored by the Kincardine Chamber of Commerce as “best new business” in
2017. With plans to grow to 500-plus employees by the end of next year,
holding several job fairs to meet those goals, 7ACRES is the second
biggest employer in the region after Bruce Power.Brad Thomas, owner of
Lake Huron Rod & Gun down the road from 7ACRES, says he hasn’t heard
anyone protesting the cannabis facility, housed in a formerly abandoned
tomato greenhouse, on moral or any other grounds. “Most people don’t
really care,” he says. “If anything it’s creating jobs.”For those in the
industry, it is more than just a job, however. Davloor used to have a
traditional job as a manager at Bruce Power. But he was restless, and
happened upon a handful of people in the area planning a start-up to
supply the medicinal marijuana market. “When I entered first here, it
felt like an underground operation,” he says. Some of his friends
thought it was hilarious that he should leave the nuclear power industry
for pot. “My mom and dad didn’t like it. There was some kind of stigma
attached to it,” he says. “That’s getting purged really rapidly. People
here are coming from just mainstream society.”Today he works at a
state-of-the-art facility. He still doesn’t talk to his parents about
his job, however.At the strategy session, he tells the staff, who range
from former basement growers to scientists, that their opinions about
personal use of cannabis don’t matter. They only have to have a passion
for growing it as a plant.For him, job satisfaction comes from being
part of an industry with no road map. That's the vibe around the lunch
table too.“It’s a new era, it’s exciting to be around in this time,”
says Mr. Schacher during a pizza break from the strategy session. “This
is a movement. This whole cannabis industry is a massive thing taking
place.”

Factbox: Over 205,000 customers without power in Carolinas after Florence-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018
(Reuters)
- More than 205,000 U.S. homes and businesses, mostly in North Carolina
and South Carolina, were still without power early Wednesday, after
Hurricane Florence hit the North Carolina coast last week, power
companies said.That was down from a peak of 1.9 million customers that
lost power during the storm.Duke Energy Corp , the biggest utility in
the area, said on Tuesday power had been restored to nearly 1.5 million
customers out of nearly 1.7 million customers who experienced an outage
during the storm.Florence, which made landfall on Friday as a Category 1
hurricane before it was downgraded, has already killed at least 33
people, including 26 in North Carolina and six in South Carolina.Rivers
and waterways, swollen after Florence's historic deluge, rose
dangerously across the Carolinas on Tuesday, closing roads, inundating
communities, hindering rescue and repair efforts and preventing evacuees
from returning home.(Reporting by Nallur Sethuraman in Bengaluru;

PA hasn’t
yet paid family of terrorist who killed Fuld, but they’ll be
eligible-Official denies Israel TV report that claimed the Jabarin
family already received an advance, but says there’s no secret ‘about
our support for our prisoners’-By Adam Rasgon-TOI-SEP 20,18
The
Palestinian Authority Prisoner Affairs’ Commission denied an Israeli TV
report that the PA sent a multi-thousand shekel advance to the family
of a Palestinian teen who stabbed an Israeli to death on Sunday. But it
made clear that the family of Khalil Jabarin, the 17-year-old terrorist
who killed Ari Fuld, would be eligible for a monthly salary from the PA
once the correct paperwork has been completed.On Monday, Israel’s
Channel 20 reported that the PA had transferred a NIS 12,000 (some
$3,300) advance to the family of Jabarin hours after he carried out a
stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank, killing
45-year-old Fuld, a father of four and a resident of the Efrat
settlement.Jabarin, who Fuld shot at before succumbing to his wounds, is
in Israeli custody as of Wednesday. He was lightly injured.“This report
is a total fabrication and incitement against the Palestinian National
Authority and our prisoners,” Prisoner Affairs’ Commission spokesman
Hassan Abd Rabbo said in a phone call. Abd Rabbo said that “families of
Palestinian prisoners must complete several measures, which usually
take three to four months, before they receive any funds.”The Prisoner
Affairs’ Commission spokesman, however, added that Jabarin’s family
would be eligible for funds, once it completes the necessary
documentation and assuming Jabarin is not released by Israel.“We are not
bashful or secretive about our support for our prisoners,” he said.
“The [Jabarin] family would be eligible to receive a monthly salary of
NIS 1,400 ($390), if their son is not freed by Israel and it completes
all the necessary documents.”“Families must provide the Prisoners’
Commission with court documents about their imprisoned family member,
papers from the Red Cross proving their family member was imprisoned on
security grounds for resisting the occupation, a copy of their family
member’s identification card and other forms before they receive funds,”
Abd Rabbo said. “It is more or less impossible to finish this process
in less than three months.”Abd Rabbo also said that if Jabarin’s family
were to be granted a salary and their son remains in prison for several
years, the sum they receive would increase. Former PA Prisoners’ Affairs
Minister Ashraf al-Ajrami confirmed the substance of Abd Rabbo’s
comments.Families of Palestinians, who meet the PA’s definition of a
prisoner, are entitled to a monthly payment, according to the PA
Prisoners and Liberated Prisoners law. The law defines a prisoner as
“anyone in the occupation’s prisons for participating in the struggle
against the occupation.” Many Palestinians who the PA defines as
prisoners, have carried out terrorist attacks against Israelis and
others and are serving life sentences.Both the US and Israel recently
passed legislation targeting the PA’s practice of paying the families of
security prisoners, including terrorists. The Trump Administration has
since cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the
Palestinians.Earlier this month, the US Ambassador to Israel David
Friedman charged that the US has “thrown more than $10 billion” in aid
to the Palestinians. He lamented that US taxpayer funds, rather than be
used positively, had been partly spent on Palestinian Authority stipends
to terrorists, to fund inciteful education, and to finance an agency —
UNRWA — that, by extending refugee status to descendants of Palestinian
refugees, was perpetuating rather than helping solve the refugee
problem.Said Friedman: “To spend hard-earned taxpayer dollars to fund
stipends to terrorists and their families, to expend funds to perpetuate
rather than to mitigate refugee status, and to finance hate-filled
textbooks — I ask you, how does that provide value to the United States
or the region?”Trump told Jewish leaders last month that the US would
not give aid to the Palestinians until they reach an agreement with
Israel. In a conference call with several dozen American Jewish leaders
ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Trump noted that he had recently slashed immense
amounts of US aid to the Palestinians. “The United States was paying
them tremendous amounts of money. And I say, ‘You’ll get money, but
we’re not paying until you make a deal. If you don’t make a deal, we’re
not paying.’”In March, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the US
government for passing the so-called Taylor Force law that suspended
some financial aid to the Palestinians over the stipends.The law, named
after an American killed in Israel by a Palestinian in 2016, was folded
into a $1.3 trillion spending bill signed by President Donald
Trump.Netanyahu called the law a “powerful signal by the US that changes
the rules” by cutting “hundreds of millions of dollars for the
Palestinian Authority that they invest in encouraging
terrorism.”According to Israel’s Defense Ministry, the PA in 2017 paid
NIS 687 million ($198 million) to the so-called “martyrs’ families fund”
and NIS 550 million ($160 million) to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club —
some 7 percent of its overall budget.Israel has called on Palestinians
for years to halt the stipends, which benefit roughly 35,000 families of
Palestinians killed, wounded or jailed in the conflict with Israel,
many of them accused of involvement in terror. Israel says the stipends
encourage violence.Among the beneficiaries are families of suicide
bombers and others involved in deadly terrorist attacks on Israelis.PA
President Mahmoud Abbas has condemned the US and Israeli laws and vowed
to continue to make the payments.In July, Abbas defiantly told a meeting
of Fatah party leaders that the Palestinian government would continue
pay “our martyrs and prisoners and wounded people” as it had since 1965.
“We will not allow anyone to interfere with the money that Israel is
against us paying to the families of martyrs and prisoners,” he said,
according to an official transcript released by state-run news agency
Wafa.Last year, Netanyahu castigated Abbas for telling Trump that the
Palestinians educate their children in “a culture of peace,” saying the
comment was “unfortunately not true.”After a White House sit-down
between Trump and Abbas, Netanyahu objected to the PA leader’s claim,
saying the Palestinians “name their schools after mass murderers of
Israelis and they pay terrorists.”
Trump’s new adviser on
Iran seeks a nuclear ‘treaty,’ not a ‘personal agreement’-State
Department’s Brian Hook says regime leaders don’t want to talk, ‘and we
respect that.’ But if it remains the case, sanctions will be followed by
‘stronger measures’-By TOI staff and AP-SEP 20,18
The
United States wants to negotiate a treaty with Iran that will cover both
its nuclear and its ballistic missile efforts, the Trump
administration’s new special representative for Iran said on
Wednesday.Such a deal, said Brian Hook, would be more binding than the
2015 agreement from which the Trump Administration has withdrawn. If the
Iranian leadership did not want to negotiate, he indicated, it would
face stepped up pressure from the US.As things stand, Iran’s leaders are
not interested in talking, said Hook, and if that remained the case,
stronger measures than the current sanctions would follow.Speaking ahead
of the UN’s General Assembly next week in New York, at which world
leaders will gather, Hook, a senior adviser to US Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, spoke of “the new deal that we hope to be able to sign with
Iran, and it will not be a personal agreement between two governments
like the last one; we seek a treaty.”In remarks to the Hudson Institute
think tank, quoted by Reuters, Hook acknowledged that the regime in
Tehran was rejecting overtures by President Donald Trump and Pompeo for
talks. “The ayatollah [Ali Khamenei], the president [Hassan Rouhani] and
foreign minister [Mohammad Javad Zarif] have all indicated they are not
interested in talking,” Hook said. “We respect that though that does
not change our plans. We have a sanctions regime that is underway,
stronger measures are yet to come.”Trump withdrew in May from the P5+1’s
2015 deal with Iran, negotiated during the Obama administration, which
was designed to freeze and inspect Iran’s nuclear program. The deal was
bitterly opposed by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who
insists the regime continues to seek a nuclear weapons arsenal, and
derided by Trump as “the worst deal ever.”Hook’s comments Wednesday
echoed those by Trump, who said in July, “We’re ready to make a real
deal, not the deal that was done by the previous administration, which
was a disaster.”Hook noted that the 2015 deal was an executive
agreement, not ratified by the Senate, whereas a treaty would require
Senate approval.“They did not have the votes in the U.S. Senate so they
found the votes in the U.N. Security Council,” said Hook. “That is
insufficient in our system of government if you want to have something
enduring and sustainable.”Trump plans to lead a meeting of heads of
state of the United Nations Security Council on Iran on September 26,
his UN envoy Nikki Haley announced earlier this month. Haley said the
aim is to further pressure Tehran over its alleged violations of council
resolutions, including support for terror.Pompeo last month formed a
group to coordinate and run US policy toward Iran as the Trump
administration moved ahead with efforts to force changes in the Islamic
Republic’s behavior after withdrawing from the 2015 Iran nuclear
deal.Accusing Iran of unleashing “a torrent of violence and
destabilizing behavior against the United States, our allies, our
partners and, indeed, the Iranian people themselves,” Pompeo announced
the creation of the Iran Action Group, which he said would drive
administration policy in Washington and overseas.He said the
administration remains willing to talk to Iran but that in order to do
so “we must see major changes in the regime’s behavior both inside and
outside its borders.”Pompeo named Hook, the State Department’s director
of policy planning, to run the group with the title of special
representative for Iran. Hook led the administration’s ultimately
unsuccessful attempt to negotiate changes to the nuclear deal with
European allies before Trump decided to pull out of the accord.Since
withdrawing, the administration has re-imposed sanctions that were eased
under the deal and has steadily ramped up pressure on Iran to try to
get it to stop what it describes as “malign activities” in the region.
In addition to its nuclear and missile programs, the administration has
repeatedly criticized Iran for supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad,
Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror movement, Shiite rebels in Yemen, and
anti-Israel groups.It has also in recent weeks stepped up criticism of
Iran’s human rights record and is working with other nations to curb
their imports of Iranian oil.The administration is warning Iran’s oil
customers that they will face US sanctions in November unless they
significantly reduce their imports with an eye on eliminating them
entirely. It has also told businesses and governments in Europe that
they may also be subject to penalties if they violate, ignore, or
attempt to subvert the re-imposed US sanctions.Hook, accusing Iran of
being “a force for instability and violence,” said last month he would
also keep the door open to talks but made clear that US efforts to
isolate Tehran both economically and diplomatically would not end until
its leadership changed policies.“The burden is on the Iranian regime to
change its behavior,” he said.Critics of the administration’s approach
suggested that Hook’s new position was a sign the US was adopting a
policy of regime change in Iran, something that Pompeo and other
officials have denied. They maintain they only want to see the
government change course.
Kim agrees to dismantle nuke site
if US takes steps too; Trump hails progress-At summit with South Korean
counterpart, North Korean leader offers to take down main nuclear
complex if the United States takes unspecified corresponding measures-By
Eric Talmadge and Foster Klug-TOI-SEPT 20,18
PYONGYANG,
North Korea (AP) — The leaders of North and South Korea announced a wide
range of agreements Wednesday which they said were taking a major step
toward peace on the Korean Peninsula. But the premier pledge on
denuclearization contained a big condition, with North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un stating he’d permanently dismantle his main nuclear complex
only if the United States takes unspecified corresponding measures.For
his part, President Donald Trump said US relations with North Korea are
making “tremendous progress” from the days before his presidency when
the two countries appeared close to “going to war.”Compared to the vague
language of their two summits earlier this year, Kim and South Korean
President Moon Jae-in agreed in their second day of meetings to an
ambitious program meant to tackle soaring tensions last year that had
many fearing war, as the North tested a string of increasingly powerful
weapons.Kim promised to accept international inspectors to monitor the
closing of a key missile test site and launch pad and to visit Seoul
soon, and both leaders vowed to work together to try to host the Summer
Olympics in 2032.But while containing several tantalizing offers, their
joint statement appeared to fall short of the major steps many in
Washington have been looking for — such as a commitment by Kim to
provide a list of North Korea’s nuclear facilities, a solid step-by-step
timeline for closing them down, or an agreement to allow international
inspectors to assess progress or discover violations.It also was unclear
what “corresponding steps” North Korea wants from the US to dismantle
its nuclear site.The question is whether it will be enough for Trump to
pick up where Moon has left off. Trump told reporters Wednesday that the
outcome of the summit was “very good news” and that “we’re making
tremendous progress” with North Korea. He didn’t indicate in his brief
remarks whether the US would be willing to take further steps to
encourage North Korean action on denuclearization.“We’re making
tremendous progress with respect to North Korea. Prior to becoming
president, it looked like we were going to war with North Korea and now
we have a lot of progress,” Trump told journalists at the White House.
“A lot of tremendous things but very importantly no missile testing, no
nuclear testing… The relationships, I have to tell you, at least on a
personal basis, are very good. It is very much calmed down.”Declaring
they had made a major step toward peace, Moon and Kim stood side by side
as they announced their joint statement to a group of North and South
Korean reporters after a closed-door meeting Wednesday morning. They
took no questions.“We have agreed to make the Korean Peninsula a land of
peace that is free from nuclear weapons and nuclear threat,” Kim said
at the guesthouse where Moon is staying. “The road to our future will
not always be smooth and we may face challenges and trials we can’t
anticipate. But we aren’t afraid of headwinds because our strength will
grow as we overcome each trial based on the strength of our nation.”Kim
and Moon earlier smiled and chatted as they walked down a hallway and
into a meeting room to finalize the joint statement, which also said
that the leaders would push for a Korean Peninsula without nuclear
weapons and to “eliminate all the danger of war.” Moon and Kim planned
to visit a volcano sacred to the North on Thursday, the last day of
Moon’s visit.This week’s summit comes as Moon is under increasing
pressure from Washington to find a path forward in efforts to get Kim to
completely — and unilaterally — abandon his nuclear arsenal.Trump has
maintained that he and Kim have a solid relationship, and both leaders
have expressed interest in a follow-up summit to their meeting in June
in Singapore. North Korea has been demanding a declaration formally
ending the Korean War, which was stopped in 1953 by a cease-fire, but
neither leader mentioned it Wednesday as they read the joint
statement.In the meantime, however, Moon and Kim made concrete moves of
their own to reduce tensions on their border.According to a statement
signed by the countries’ defense chiefs, the two Koreas agreed to
establish buffer zones along their land and sea borders to reduce
military tensions and prevent accidental clashes. They also agreed to
withdraw 11 guard posts from the Demilitarized Zone by December and to
establish a no-fly zone above the military demarcation line that bisects
the two Koreas that will apply to planes, helicopters, and
drones.Though not directly linked to security, the leaders’ announcement
that they would seek a joint Summer Olympics was a significant move in
terms of easing tensions and building trust. It also flows from the
North’s decision to participate in the Pyeongchang Winter Games in
February, which was regarded as a success for both sides.Other
agreements aimed at removing some longstanding irritants from their
relations, such as allowing more contact between families divided by the
Korean War. Moon also appeared to be making good on his proposals to
help build up the North’s infrastructure and open cross-border rail
links.Unlike Trump’s initial tweets praising the summit, the news
brought a quick and negative response from Republican Sen. Lindsey
Graham, who tweeted that he was concerned the visit would undermine
efforts by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.N. Ambassador Nikki
Haley to impose “maximum pressure” on the North.“While North Korea has
stopped testing missiles and nuclear devices, they have NOT moved toward
denuclearization,” he tweeted.With the main business of the day
complete, North Korea was expected to hold a huge mass games spectacle
in the evening, with Moon as the special guest. Seoul said Moon would
make a short speech.North Korea had put the iconic games, which feature
tens of thousands of performers dancing and flipping placards in unison
to create giant mosaics and slogans, on a back burner for the past
several years, but revived them for this month’s celebrations of its
70th founding anniversary. In a performance for the anniversary, a giant
photo of Moon and Kim shaking hands at their first summit in April was
projected onto one side of the stands in Pyongyang’s 150,000-seat May
Day Stadium.Kim has gone all out to make Moon’s visit a memorable one.On
Tuesday, the first day of the summit, he greeted Moon and his wife at
Pyongyang’s airport and then rode into town with Moon in an open
limousine through streets lined with crowds of North Koreans, who
cheered and waved the flag of their country and a blue-and-white flag
that symbolizes Korean unity.At the start of their meeting, Kim thanked
Moon for brokering the June summit with Trump.“It’s not too much to say
that it’s Moon’s efforts that arranged a historic North Korea-US summit.
Because of that, the regional political situation has been stabilized
and more progress on North Korea-US ties is expected,” Kim said,
according to South Korean media pool reports and Moon’s office.
