Amid horror, Sri Lanka church still shows beauty-It’s thought nearly half of the roughly 250 people killed in the Easter bombings died at the Negombo church-By Manish Swarup-TOI-APR 30,19

NEGOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Nearly a week later, even after the cleaners have come through, the blood can still be seen clearly. The statues of Jesus and the saints are still speckled with fragments of shrapnel. The smell of death is everywhere, though the bodies are long gone.Yet somehow, there’s a beauty to St. Sebastian’s, a neighborhood church in a Catholic enclave north of Sri Lanka’s capital, where a man calmly walked in during Easter services with a heavy backpack and blew himself up.You can see the beauty in the broken stained-glass windows. It’s there as the sun shines through the roof’s gaping holes. It’s there in the little statues that refused to fall over, and despite the swarms of police and soldiers who seem to be everywhere now in the streets of the seaside town of Negombo.For more than 50 years, St. Sebastian’s had been the scene of weddings and baptisms, of Christmas celebrations and countless Masses.It’s still not clear exactly how many died Sunday at the Negombo church, but perhaps nearly half of the roughly 250 people killed in the Easter bombings that targeted churches and high-end hotels. Authorities say a once-obscure militant Muslim group carried out the attacks, while the Islamic State terror group has claimed responsibility.In a largely Buddhist country, Negombo is mostly Catholic town with dozens of churches. For days, it has been in mourning.St. Sebastian’s walls are now blackened near where the bomber stood when he killed himself, spraying shrapnel in every direction. From inside, you see destruction wherever you look.But from outside the church, if you ignore the police tape and if you’re standing far enough away, you might think nothing had happened there at all.You might think St. Sebastian’s is a place known only for weddings and baptisms, for Christmas celebrations and countless Masses.

Injured Israeli hiker rescued from peak of active volcano in Chile-Authorities airlift 24-year-old tourist to safety after he breaks his legs falling down slope of Mount Villarrica-By TOI staff-APR 30,19
Chilean first responders rescued an Israeli tourist from the summit of an active volcano on Friday, after the hiker fell and injured himself on the trail.According to local reports, the 24-year-old was airlifted from the peak of Mount Villarrica in the south of the country after falling down a slope of the 2,847 meter (9,300 feet) volcano. It was not erupting at the time.The Israeli man was airlifted via helicopter to the town of Pucon, where he was being treated for broken tibias and other injuries.Reports in Chilean media said it was not clear what had caused the man to fall while hiking one of the country’s most popular trails. The head of the search and rescue team, Maj. Luis Orellana, told the Cooperativa news site authorities were looking into the incident.Mount Villarrica, some 750 km (470 miles) south of capital Santiago, is one of South America’s most active volcanoes. The trail to the snow-capped peak of the mountain is known to be a challenging hike, but draws hundreds of tourists each day.The volcano has been on “early preventative alert” since May 2016. The last major eruption at Villarrica was in March 2015, though a minor eruption in 2017 sent terrified hikers scrambling down the slopes.

Putin raises possibility of meeting Ukraine’s president-elect-Russian president says if they meet, he and Volodymyr Zelensky should discuss how to end Ukraine’s conflict with Russian-backed separatists-By Agencies and TOI staff-APR 30,19

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday raised the possibility of meeting Ukraine’s president-elect in a move showing signs that Moscow might want to improve relations with the country, which soured after the 2014 annexation of Crimea.Putin said if they meet, he and Volodymyr Zelensky should discuss how to end Ukraine’s conflict with Russian-backed separatists in its southeast.Zelensky, a 41-year-old Jewish comic with no political experience, was elected Sunday on promises of change but has generally stood by the Western-oriented course of defeated president Petro Poroshenko. Zelensky hailed his victory as a sign to people in post-Soviet nations that “everything is possible,” but also has said he wants better relations with Russia.The Russian leader talked to reporters while in Beijing for a forum on China’s Belt and Road infrastructure-building initiative.“If we have a meeting sometime, begin some negotiations, which I do not rule out, then we will first of all have to talk about how to end the conflict in the southeast of Ukraine,” Putin said at a news conference.Moscow’s relations with Ukraine soured after the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the Russia’s backing of separatists.Putin also said Moscow is considering whether to offer citizenship to all Ukrainians following his decree this week to expedite applications by residents of the rebel-held parts of eastern Ukraine.That suggests Russia wants to exert hegemony in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government sees the decree as interference in its affairs and the peace process. Zelensky called for more international sanctions against Russia in response to the move.“In general, we are thinking of giving our citizenship in a simplified manner to the citizens of Ukraine,” Putin said.The European Union condemned Moscow for making it easier for people in separatist areas of east Ukraine to obtain Russian passports, calling it a fresh assault on the war-torn country’s sovereignty.The controversial decree “is another attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty by Russia,” a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement.“The timing of such a decision immediately after Ukraine’s presidential election… shows Russia’s intention to further destabilize Ukraine and to exacerbate the conflict,” the spokeswoman added.The EU urged Russia “to refrain from actions that are against the Minsk agreements and impede the full reintegration of the non-government controlled areas into Ukraine.”

Despite Saudi claims, many killed in mass execution reportedly denied guilt-According to CNN, many of the condemned told courts their testimonies were coerced or falsified; US panel on religious freedom urges State Department to punish Riyadh-By TOI staff and AFP-APR 30,19

Though Saudi Arabia has insisted that the 37 people it executed on Wednesday had all confessed to serious charges of espionage and terrorism, many of the condemned had repeatedly denied their guilt, telling courts their testimonies had been coerced or falsified, CNN reported Friday.According to court documents obtained by the network, 14 of the condemned were charged with forming a terror cell as part of anti-government protests in 2011-2012. Eleven others were accused of spying for Iran.But documents seen by CNN showed some of the accused insisted they were innocent to the very end. Many alleged they had been tortured. Some claimed their confessions had been written entirely by their abusers.In one case, the father of a young accused man said: “He was subjected to psychological and physical abuse which drained his strength… The interrogator dictated the confession… and forced him to sign it so that the torture would stop. He signed it.”Human Rights Watch has said the convictions were based on “unfair” mass trials and on confessions allegedly extracted through torture.The US government commission on religious freedom on Friday urged action against ally Saudi Arabia after the mass execution of 37 people, most of them Shiite Muslims.The US Commission on International Religious Freedom, whose members are appointed by the president and lawmakers across party lines but whose role is advisory, said the State Department “must stop giving a free pass” to Saudi Arabia.The State Department, in a congressionally mandated annual report, classifies Saudi Arabia among its “countries of particular concern” for violations of religious freedom, which would normally require the United States to take punitive actions such as imposing economic sanctions.But successive secretaries of state have each year issued waivers on punishing Saudi Arabia, citing national security interests.“The Saudi government’s execution of minority Shia Muslims on the basis of their religious identity and peaceful activism is not only shocking, but also directly contradicts the government’s official narrative of working toward greater modernization and improving religious freedom conditions,” the commission’s chair, Tenzin Dorjee, said in a statement as the commission urged an end to the waivers.Saudi Arabia practices a puritanical Wahabi ideology, with the latest State Department report on religious freedom pointing to a “pattern of societal prejudice and discrimination” against the Shiite minority and a ban on the practice of any faith besides Islam.Human rights groups say that nearly all of the Saudi citizens beheaded on Tuesday were Shiite, with one crucified after death. The UN human rights chief said that at least three were minors when charged.President Donald Trump has vowed to preserve a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, pointing to its major purchases of US weapons, its giant oil exports and its hostility toward US rival Iran.Trump has not commented on the executions, although the State Department said it urged “Saudi Arabia and all governments” to respect freedom of religion.HRW’s deputy Middle East director Michael Page has said “Saudi authorities will inevitably characterize those executed as terrorists… but the reality is that Saudi courts are largely devoid of any due process, and many of those executed were condemned based solely on confessions they credibly say were coerced.“Executing prisoners en masse shows that the current Saudi leadership has little interest in improving the country’s dismal human rights record.”Rights group Amnesty International said most of those executed were “convicted after sham trials” based on “confessions extracted through torture.”The executions were “yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as a political tool to crush dissent” from within the Shiite minority, it added in a statement.The mass execution is the largest since January 2016, when Saudi Arabia executed a group of 47 people convicted of “terrorism,” including prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.Last year, Saudi Arabia carried out 149 death sentences, making it one of the world’s top three executioners along with China and Iran, according to Amnesty International.The Eastern Province — home to the bulk of the country’s Shiite minority — has seen bouts of unrest since 2011, when protesters emboldened by the Arab Spring took to the streets demanding an end to alleged discrimination by the government.Although no official figures exist, Shiites make up an estimated 10-15 percent of the ultra-conservative kingdom’s population of 32 million.

Two Syrians to be freed by Israel: Fatah man who planned attack, drug smuggler-AG reportedly approved prisoner releases without cabinet debate, paving way to presidential pardon; move comes weeks after body of IDF’s Baumel was returned from Syria via Russia-By TOI staff-APR 30,19

The two Syrian prisoners Israel will release as a “goodwill gesture” to Damascus following the return of an Israeli soldier’s remains are a Fatah operative jailed for an attempted attack on soldiers and a drug smuggler.Hamis Ahmad, of the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus, was jailed in 2005 for an attempt to infiltrate into Israel and attack an Israel Defense Forces base, and was to be held until 2023.Zidan Tweil, of the Syrian village of Khader, has been jailed since 2008 for drug-related offenses and was to be freed in July.Israel confirmed earlier Saturday that the two Syrians would be released as a gesture to Damascus after the return a month ago of the remains of Zachary Baumel, an IDF soldier who fell in battle in 1982.Hebrew media reported that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to release the two Syrian prisoners; there was no cabinet discussion of the matter.According to Israeli law, the release of prisoners as a political gesture or within a diplomatic framework requires the cabinet to discuss the matter and give approval unless there are specific extenuating circumstances.Government sources told the Haaretz newspaper and Ynet website that Mandelblit ruled the case in question did meet that definition, though no details were provided.It was also not clear whether or why Netanyahu had sought to avoid a cabinet discussion.Mandelblit’s ruling paved the way for the outgoing Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked to sign off on the necessary paperwork, so that President Reuven Rivlin could sign the pardon required for the prisoners to be released, the reports said.Rivlin’s office said Saturday evening that “Once the move was approved by the attorney general, the president enacted his authority to pardon in accordance with [the law].”A senior government official earlier said the prisoner release would take place as a “goodwill gesture,” adding that the decision was only made in recent days, and claiming it had not been a precondition for Baumel’s return.The Israeli statement came after Russia’s envoy to Syria announced the prisoner release, and indicated that Israel knew there would have to be a reciprocal gesture..The body of tank commander Baumel, believed killed in the First Lebanon War’s Battle of Sultan Yacoub almost 37 years ago, was brought from Syria to Israel about a month ago via Russia.At the time, a senior diplomatic official said that Russia’s help in the return of Baumel’s remains would not have a “diplomatic price tag” linked to the situation in Syria.Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy to Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, said earlier Saturday that the operation to recover Baumel’s remains had been in Damascus’s interests as Syrian prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons.“In Russia we are very sensitive to the search for missing and dead people, even from World War II,” Lavrentiev told Russia’s RT broadcaster.“For this reason, when the decision to surrender the body was made, we thanked the Syrian side for their understanding,” he said.“But this action was not unilateral — Israel made a decision, which it will have to carry out later, to release some of the Syrian citizens who are in Israeli jails,” added Lavrentiev.“This was an act of interest for the Syrian side. We will not do anything that is contrary to Syria’s interests, but only things that serve them,” Lavrentiev said.Syria has vehemently denied Putin’s claim that Damascus aided in the search and recovery operation to return Baumel to Israel.During a joint press conference with Netanyahu in Moscow earlier this month, Putin said “Russian Army soldiers found the body in coordination with the Syrian military.”Public involvement in the return of the remains to Israel would be embarrassing for the Syrian government, which is formally at war with Israel.Putin is a key backer of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, helping him quash a massive civil war over the last several years, and has also maintained mostly positive ties with Israel.Tank commander Baumel, a Brooklyn-born immigrant, was one of three Israeli soldiers whose bodies were never recovered following the battle of Sultan Yacoub.Though Baumel and comrades Zvi Feldman and Yehuda Katz were generally believed to have been killed in the battle, there was also speculation and reports that they were captured by the Syrian military in Sultan Yacoub and brought to Damascus. Feldman and Katz remain officially listed as missing in action, though they are also presumed killed.Baumel was buried in an emotional ceremony at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl military cemetery on April 4.

Police say army vet drove into California crowd thinking people were Muslim-Isaiah Peoples, 34, said to have injured 8 on Tuesday, including a girl, 13, in coma with brain trauma; lawyer says he has troubled mental state due to service as army sharpshooter-By Janie Har-TOI-APR 30,19

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Iraq War veteran deliberately drove into a group of pedestrians on Tuesday because he thought some of the people were Muslim, California authorities said Friday.Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, faces eight counts of attempted murder for injuring eight people, including four who remain hospitalized. The most seriously injured is a 13-year-old Sunnyvale girl of South Asian descent who is in a coma with severe brain trauma.“New evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted the victims based on their race and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith,” Sunnyvale police chief Phan Ngo said.Peoples appeared briefly in Santa Clara County Superior Court on Friday. He did not enter a plea and is being held without bail.The former US Army sharpshooter experienced post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq, his family said. Peoples’s attorney, Chuck Smith, said after the hearing Friday that they do not dispute what happened, but that his client’s mental state is the issue.“He served our country, honorably and admirably, and he’s led an otherwise blameless life,” Smith said, “So there’s no explanation for this other than his service, the things he saw and what happened to him mentally while serving our country.”Peoples was on his way to a Bible class Tuesday in the Silicon Valley suburb of Sunnyvale when he told investigators he intentionally drove into a group of men, women and children, police said. The 13-year-old girl was hit along with her father and brother, who had minor injuries.Jay Boyarsky, chief assistant district attorney for Santa Clara, said the charges carry a sentence of life in prison. He said they will file hate crime allegations if warranted.“There is very appalling and disturbing evidence that at least one or two of these victims were targeted based on the defendant’s view of what their race or religion may have been,” he said.Three adults also remain hospitalized with injuries that include broken limbs.Peoples showed no remorse after his car plowed at high speed into a group of people in a crosswalk before hitting a tree, Ngo said.Witness Don Draper said he marched over to Peoples’s car after he crashed, and he found the driver muttering over and over, “Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.”But Ngo said that “he did not behave in any manner that would be considered bizarre,” when taken into custody.Family and friends described Peoples as quiet and polite and expressed shock at his involvement. His mother, Leevell Peoples of Sacramento, said her son had “a bad episode” with PTSD in 2015, for which he was hospitalized.Peoples was deployed to Iraq in 2005 and 2006.Peoples was honorably discharged from the Army, and police were investigating the PTSD report, Ngo said. Peoples had no criminal record and owned one weapon, a disassembled and inoperable shotgun that was in the trunk of his vehicle, according to the police chief.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Floods stall fertilizer shipments in latest blow to U.S. farmers-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Karl Plume-April 29, 2019

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Farm supplier CHS Inc has dozens of loaded barges trapped on the flood-swollen Mississippi River near St. Louis - about 500 miles from the company's two Minnesota distribution hubs.The barges can't move - or get crucial nutrients to corn farmers for the spring planting season - because river locks on the main U.S. artery for grain and fertilizer have been shuttered for weeks. High water presents a hazard for boats, barges and lock equipment.Railroads have also been plagued by delays from winter weather and flooding in the western Midwest, further disrupting agricultural supply chains in the nation's bread basket.The transportation woes are the latest headache for a U.S. agricultural sector reeling from years of slumping profits and the U.S.-China trade war, and they threaten to cut the number of acres of corn and wheat that can be planted this year.The shipping delays follow months of bad weather in the rural Midwest, including a "bomb cyclone" that flooded at least 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) of farmland last month and a record-breaking April snow storm."Our barges are a long way from where we need them in the upper Midwest," said Gary Halvorson, senior vice president of agronomy at CHS. "We really don't think that any rail line will be at their preferred service rate until summer."Agricultural retailers rely on barges and trains to resupply distribution warehouses across the farm belt. But river flooding has delayed the seasonal reopening of the northern reaches of the Mississippi River to barge traffic. The latest National Weather Service river forecasts suggest one of the river's southernmost locks could remain closed until at least the first week of May.-FALLING PROFITS, PRODUCTION-Reduced or poorly timed fertilizer applications can hurt yields, potentially denting this year's U.S. farm profits, which are already predicted to be about half of their 2013 peak, according to the latest U.S. government forecast. Delayed shipments can also mean lost sales for farm suppliers and higher demurrage penalties, or late-return charges, on stalled barges and rail cars.CHS, one of the largest publicly traded U.S. agriculture suppliers, said this month cited poor weather as a key reason for a $8.9 million drop in agricultural profits during its fiscal second quarter.Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Co said severe weather and flooding would cut its first-quarter profit by $50 million to $60 million while DowDuPont said flooding would slash first-quarter profits in its agriculture division by 25 percent.Fertilizer producers such as Nutrien Ltd, Mosaic Co and Yara International also lost sales due to bad weather in the fourth quarter of last year and first quarter of this year. Mosaic announced last month that it would cut U.S. phosphate fertilizer production by 300,000 tonnes for the spring season due to poor weather and large inventories left over from the fall.Farm retailers such as CHS and privately held Growmark may see additional losses through the spring season as the tighter planting window limits the application services they provide, according to CoBank analyst Will Secor.-SCRAMBLING TO PROTECT CROP YIELDS-Farmers are not expected to skip nitrogen fertilizer applications entirely, which would cause yields to drop by about half, according to Purdue University agronomist Bob Nielsen. But higher nutrient costs could have growers applying less-than-optimal amounts.Some farmers could shift from corn to soybeans, which can be planted later and require fewer fertilizer applications. But soybeans will continue to face uncertain demand as long as the U.S. and top buyer China remain locked in a trade war."Right now my plan is to plant more corn because the price of beans is so low," said Don Batie, a farmer near Lexington, Nebraska.The weather problems started last autumn, a period when some farmers treat fields after harvesting in preparation for the following spring. But wet weather prevented fall fertilizer applications, and an exceptionally snowy winter in many areas slowed or halted winter field work.More recent storms have threatened to narrow the limited spring window for field treatments."When you add to it this re-supply constraint of not being able to move barges up the Mississippi, it puts us in a precarious position," said Kreg Ruhl, manager for crop nutrients division at Growmark, the country's third-largest agriculture retailer in terms of revenue.-PRICES RISING-Retail fertilizer prices have started rising in parts of the Midwest and are likely to rise further as local supplies are depleted and retailers scramble to resupply.In Iowa, the top U.S. corn producing state, the price of the common fertilizer urea was up 20 percent in late April from a year ago, and anhydrous ammonia was up 27 percent. Both hit their highest early spring levels in three years, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.Without timely barge deliveries, CHS will lean on its rail network that brings imported supplies from Galveston, Texas, to any of the 29 rail hubs it owns in places like Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Marshall, Minnesota; and Minot, North Dakota.Higher U.S. fertilizer prices and strong demand from other countries could help producers such as Nutrien, Mosaic and Yara recover some recent profit weakness in upcoming quarters.For farmers and fertilizer retailers, however, uncertain fertilizer deliveries will likely weigh on agricultural markets through the planting season."We're doing our very best to make sure that our retail network is supplied," said CHS's Halvorson.(Reporting by Karl Plume in Chicago Editing by Brian Thevenot and Caroline Stauffer)
