Israeli nanotech may be able to reduce side-effects of chemotherapy, scientists say-Precision dosing invention gets drugs just to affected cells and not whole body; already tested on mice with inhibitor drugs; inventors also aiming at chemo and other treatments-By Nathan Jeffay-SEP 30,22-Today, 12:51 pm 0
Scientists say that new Israeli technology could dramatically reduce the side effects of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, by making precision dosing possible for drugs that are currently administered to the whole body.The invention could also revive numerous treatments that are today considered unsafe and enable doctors to increase doses of some existing medicines, the team from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology suggests in newly peer-reviewed research.The main focus of the study – and the sole topic of the Technion team’s animal study – is inhibitors, which are drugs that block the growth factors that trigger cancer cells. But a small number of chemotherapies was included in the lab testing and showed promise, the team said, indicating that the technology may also one day be used to reduce chemotherapy side effects.Precision medicines are considered a promising way to treat cancer, but a major challenge is the technology required to deliver medicine to cancerous cells without taking it to other parts of the body.Particles called nano-carriers — also a key ingredient of most coronavirus vaccines — do the job well. But each nano-carrier is compatible with a limited range of drugs, and only a few dozen are available, meaning the vast majority of drugs can’t be given as precision medicine.A Technion biomedical engineering team says it has invented a new nano-carrier, tested it in lab conditions and on mice, and concluded it is likely to make nano-dosing possible for many drugs.“The new nano-carrier actually enabled us to successfully treat mice with a medicine that normally can’t be used due to its intense side effects,” Prof. Yosi Shamay, head of the lab that conducted the research, told The Times of Israel.His team gave mice Trametinib, a drug that can only be used today for melanoma patients and in tiny doses due to its toxicity. The mice received what is considered a safe dose. Mice who received it as a regular drug didn’t get better, while those who received it through targeted nano-carrier delivery ended up with smaller tumors.Shamay commented: “This nano-carrier could enable us to use potentially-lifesaving drugs that simply haven’t been viable because side effects for the necessary dose are too intense. This is exciting. Indications from lab testing are that it will work with many drugs and on a wide range of cancers.”“What is more, this could make existing drugs more effective. As we need to limit doses of some drugs today because of side effects, precision delivery that eliminates concerns of side effects can enable bigger and therefore more effective doses,” he said.Shamay’s lab invented the particle using an unusual process. It built a robot and programmed it to test different combinations of materials after uniting them through different chemical reactions.“By taking a big step in robotic chemistry, we’ve opened up new opportunities for drugs,” Shamay explained.“As of now, most drugs have to be administered as regular oral or injected medicines, which means they end up across the whole body. If this happens 99% of the drug goes to healthy cells and less than 1% goes to the tumor.“This new material enables us to deliver drugs very precisely to solid tumors. Side effects that result from the drug ending up elsewhere in the body can be significantly reduced.“And if you can reduce side effects you can also increase doses — as doses are often determined to limit side effects — you can increase the performance of a drug,” he said.Shamay said that initial testing of the nano-carrier’s ability to keep its payload — namely the drug that is being tested — safe and in stable form was possible using a light-based method. If the drug is stable, then when light is shone on it, it emits almost no light.He carried out this lab testing process on 30 drugs – mostly inhibitors with a small number of chemotherapy treatments. All were stable in the nano-carrier, which Shamay said suggests that the nano-carrier will work with many drugs. He is aiming to conduct further testing and secure regulatory approval, initially for inhibitors and possibly for chemotherapies down the line.Shamay said: “If everything goes well, in five years we will have patients being administered with our material. This could have a very positive effect on cancer treatment.”
Pre-Yom Kippur, psychologist of religion asks what Judaism says about forgiveness-Most Jews believe some offenses too severe to forgive, that asking someone who’s not the victim for forgiveness is illogical and that forgiveness isn’t offered unconditionally-By Adam B. Cohen-SEP 30,22-Today, 6:19 am 0
THE CONVERSATION (AP) — The Jewish High Holidays are fast approaching: Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. While the first really commemorates the creation of the world, Jews view both holidays as a chance to reflect on our shortcomings, make amends and seek forgiveness, both from other people and from the Almighty. Jews pray and fast on Yom Kippur to demonstrate their remorse and to focus on reconciliation. According to Jewish tradition, it is at the end of this solemn period that God seals his decision about each person’s fate for the coming year. Congregations recite a prayer called the “Unetanah Tokef,” which recalls God’s power to decide “who shall live and who shall die, who shall reach the ends of his days and who shall not” – an ancient text that Leonard Cohen popularized with his song “Who by Fire.”Forgiveness and related concepts, such as compassion, are central virtues in many religions. What’s more, research has shown that it is psychologically beneficial.But each religious tradition has its own particular views about forgiveness, as well, including Judaism. As a psychologist of religion, I have done research on these similarities and differences when it comes to forgiveness.-Person to person-Several specific attitudes about forgiveness are reflected in the liturgy of the Jewish High Holidays, so those who go to services are likely to be aware of them – even if they skip out for a snack.In Jewish theology, only the victim has the right to forgive an offense against another person, and an offender should repent toward the victim before forgiveness can take place. Someone who has hurt another person must sincerely apologize three times. If the victim still withholds forgiveness, the offender is considered forgiven, and the victim now shares the blame.The 10-day period known as the “Days of Awe” – Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and the days between – is a popular time for forgiveness. Observant Jews reach out to friends and family they have wronged over the past year so that they can enter Yom Kippur services with a clean conscience and hope they have done all they can to mitigate God’s judgment.The teaching that only a victim can forgive someone implies that God cannot forgive offenses between people until the relevant people have forgiven each other. It also means that some offenses, such as the Holocaust, can never be forgiven, because those martyred are dead and unable to forgive.To forgive or not to forgive? In psychological research, I have found that most Jewish and Christian participants endorse the views of forgiveness espoused by their religions.As in Judaism, most Christian teachings encourage people to ask and give forgiveness for harms done to one another. But they tend to teach that more sins should be forgiven – and can be, by God, because Jesus’ death atoned vicariously for people’s sins.Even in Christianity, not all offenses are forgivable. The New Testament describes blaspheming against the Holy Spirit as an unforgivable sin. And Catholicism teaches that there is a category called “mortal sins,” which cut off sinners from God’s grace unless they repent.One of my research papers, consisting of three studies, shows that a majority of Jewish participants believe that some offenses are too severe to forgive; that it doesn’t make sense to ask someone other than the victim about forgiveness; and that forgiveness is not offered unconditionally, but after the offender has tried to make things right.Take this specific example: In one of my research studies I asked Jewish and Christian participants if they thought a Jew should forgive a dying Nazi soldier who requested forgiveness for killing Jews. This scenario is described in “The Sunflower” by Simon Wiesenthal, a writer and Holocaust survivor famous for his efforts to prosecute German war criminals.Jewish participants often didn’t think the question made sense: How could someone else – someone living – forgive the murder of another person? The Christian participants, on the other hand, who were all Protestants, usually said to forgive. They agreed more often with statements like “Mr. Wiesenthal should have forgiven the SS soldier” and “Mr. Wiesenthal would have done the virtuous thing if he forgave the soldier.”It’s not just about the Holocaust. We also asked about a more everyday scenario – imagining that a student plagiarized a paper that participants’ friends had written, and then asked the participants for forgiveness – and saw similar results.Jewish people have a wide variety of opinions on these topics, though, as they do in all things. “Two Jews, three opinions!” as the old saying goes. In other studies with my co-researchers, we showed that Holocaust survivors, as well as Jewish American college students born well after the Holocaust, vary widely in how tolerant they are of German people and products. Some are perfectly fine with traveling to Germany and having German friends, and others are unwilling to even listen to Beethoven.In these studies, the key variable that seems to distinguish Jewish people who are OK with Germans and Germany from those who are not is to what extent they associate all Germans with Nazism. Among the Holocaust survivors, for example, survivors who had been born in Germany – and would have known German people before the war – were more tolerant than those whose first, perhaps only, exposure to Germans had been in the camps.Forgiveness is good for you – or is it? American society – where about 7 in 10 people identify as Christian – generally views forgiveness as a positive virtue. What’s more, research has found there are emotional and physical benefits to letting go of grudges.But does this mean forgiveness is always the answer? To me, it’s an open question.For example, future research could explore whether forgiveness is always psychologically beneficial, or only when it aligns with the would-be forgiver’s religious views.If you are observing Yom Kippur, remember that – as with every topic – Judaism has a wide and, well, forgiving view of what is acceptable when it comes to forgiveness.The writer is a professor of psychology at Arizona State University.

Business Insider-China tells state banks to prepare for a massive dollar dump and yuan buying spree as Beijing's prior interventions have failed to stem its currency's worst year since 1994-Phil Rosen-Thu, September 29, 2022 at 10:14 a.m.
Reuters reported that China told state-owned banks to get ready to sell dollars and buy yuan in an effort to prop up the local currency. The move could stem the yuan's fall, as it remains on track for its largest annual loss against the dollar since 1994. A hawkish Fed has pushed the dollar to 20-year highs this year, pressuring currencies around the world.The People's Bank of China has told major state-run banks to prepare to shed dollar holdings while snapping up offshore yuan, which has continued to fall despite prior interventions, sources told Reuters.The scale of this latest effort to prop up the yuan will be big and could provide a floor to the Chinese currency, according to the report.The amount of dollars to be sold hasn't been decided yet, but Reuters said it will primarily involve the state banks' currency reserves. Their offshore branches, including those based in Hong Kong, New York and London, were ordered to review offshore yuan holdings and check to see that dollar reserves are ready.On Thursday, the yuan fell 0.9% to 7.1340 against the dollar and is on track for its worst annual decline since 1994, having lost more than 11% so far this year. Earlier this week, China's offshore yuan this week depreciated to a record-low against the greenback, and its domestic unit fell to its weakest level since the 2008 financial crisis.The Federal Reserve's hawkish policy path has bolstered the dollar to 20-year highs this year, putting pressure on other central banks and triggering a "reverse currency war."While a weaker currency can sometimes be beneficial, as it means exports get cheaper, the yuan's recent decline below the psychological threshold of 7-per-dollar has raised concerns.The People's Bank of China has consistently imposed a strong bias to its currency reference rate to help support the yuan. Central bank officials have also issued verbal warnings against speculating on the yuan and increased the cost of shorting the currency.But it has refrained from raising benchmark rates and instead has been easing them in an effort to spark growth in an economy that's been dragged down by COVID-19 lockdowns, a real estate crash, and supply chain snags.
First coins depicting King Charles III unveiled by UK Royal Mint-Mint has depicted Britain’s royal family on coins for over 1,100 years since Alfred the Great; new monarch’s effigy faces to the left, opposite direction of his mother-By AP-SEP 30,22-Today, 11:18 am 1
LONDON — Britain’s Royal Mint has unveiled the first coins to feature the portrait of King Charles III.Britons will begin to see Charles’ image in their change from around December, as 50-pence coins depicting him gradually enter circulation.The new monarch’s effigy was created by British sculptor Martin Jennings, and has been personally approved by Charles, the Royal Mint said Friday. In keeping with tradition, the king’s portrait faces to the left — the opposite direction to his mother’s, Queen Elizabeth II.“Charles has followed that general tradition that we have in British coinage, going all the way back to Charles II actually, that the monarch faces in the opposite direction to their predecessor,” said Chris Barker at the Royal Mint Museum.Charles is depicted without a crown. A Latin inscription surrounding the portrait translates to “King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith.”A separate memorial 5-pound coin remembering the life and legacy of Elizabeth will be released Monday. One side of this coin features Charles, while the reverse side features two new portraits of Elizabeth side by side.The obverse of two new coins bearing the official coinage portrait of King Charles III, on the left is the new 50 pence coin, and right is the new 5 pound commemorative coin, which will be among the first coins to bear the new king’s head, during a press preview in London, September 29, 2022. (AP/Alastair Grant)-Based in south Wales, the Royal Mint has depicted Britain’s royal family on coins for over 1,100 years, documenting each monarch since Alfred the Great.“When first we used to make coins, that was the only way that people could know what the monarch actually looked like, not in the days of social media like now,” said Anne Jessopp, chief executive of the Royal Mint. “So the portrait of King Charles will be on each and every coin as we move forward.”Jennings, the sculptor, said the portrait was sculpted from a photo of Charles.“It is the smallest work I have created, but it is humbling to know it will be seen and held by people around the world for centuries to come,” he said.Charles acceded to the throne September 8 upon the death of his mother, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, who died at age 96.Around 27 billion coins bearing Elizabeth II’s image currently circulate in the United Kingdom All will remain legal tender and be in active circulation, to be replaced over time as they become damaged or worn.

The 15-minute city could save you from needing a car, but will Israel run with it?-Planners envision urban spaces with everything you need a short walk or bike ride away, cutting emissions and stress; in parts of Israel, there are signs of the concept taking hold-By Danielle Nagler-SEP 30,22-Today, 12:05 pm 3
When the State of Israel was founded, the priority was to put roofs over heads for waves of immigrants fleeing to the young country. Over seven decades later, though the nation has changed dramatically, many of the same housing challenges remain and until recently city planning tended to concentrate on building fast, rather than on creating optimal environments in which to live.When new developments go up, they often come with promises of future infrastructure, including shops, schools, green spaces, public transportation links, clinics and more. In practice, though, these materialize slowly, if at all, turning new neighborhoods into isolated islands cut off from many of the services people need in their daily lives.“The problem is that people view Israel as a temporary project, with planning done on a tactical basis, not a strategic one,” said Haim Feiglin, head of the Haifa district of the Israel Builders Association.But changes in Israel are afoot, underpinned by a philosophy known as the Fifteen Minute City: the idea that everything that is needed for day-to-day living should exist within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home.This means that within a quarter of an hour’s radius from each home, individuals should be able to access shops, schools, entertainment, culture, green areas, sports activities, public transportation and any services that are necessary for day to day life — including, potentially, work. In the 15-minute city, built to work on a human scale and to limit the impact of human life on the planet, there is no need to leave this circle on a regular basis, reducing carbon emissions and various stresses that come with travel.“For too long, those who live in cities big and small have accepted the unacceptable,” Carlos Moreno, the French-Colombian guru of the so-called Fifteen Minute City Movement, said in a 2020 TED Talk. “We accept that in cities our sense of time is warped, because we have to waste so much of it just adapting to the absurd organization and long distances of most of today’s cities. Why is it we who have to adapt and to degrade our potential quality of life? Why is it not the city that responds to our needs?”In Israel, the government has recognized the need for infrastructure to go hand in hand with residential development, putting mechanisms in place to ensure that going forward, homes are not built without the necessary support facilities.A model of long-term masterplans for city development that are regularly updated, and overarching multi-use plans for new neighborhoods, has begun to be adopted by municipalities. These plans focus on the lived environment for prospective residents, rather than just addressing the basic need for four walls and a roof by building block after block of identical apartment buildings.Many new developments are being built with sustainability, public transportation links and green space in mind. Urban renewal plans revitalizing aging inner cities are also following many of the same guidelines.Orli Ronen, head of the Urban Innovation and Sustainability Lab at the Porter School for Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University, prefers to reduce the radius still further, from 15 minutes to within 300 meters (984 feet) of every home.Planners should “design for an interconnected city, made up of a network of multiple bubbles which touch each other and deliver neighborhoods that are effective living spaces in themselves but also connect,” said Ronen, a leading consultant on local climate policy and sustainability who advises the government and many Israeli cities.Speaking to The Times of Israel recently, Ronen said she sees some improvements in the way new neighborhoods are being planned, but questions whether Israel is building with the density required to support such a vision.“Are new neighborhoods really compact enough to offer everything needed for the daily routine?” she asked.Ronen believes Haifa, Beersheba, Tel Aviv and central Jerusalem are working hard to try to deliver on the concept at least in part, directing much new construction in ways that integrate it into the existing city while avoiding sprawling single-use developments. But only Tel Aviv, hemmed in on all four sides, has been relatively successful and may be the only one with the scale to deliver on a 15-minute city concept.“It’s only there — where residential streets, offices, shops and services constantly slide into each other, where cycling or scootering are becoming the norm in place of cars — where once the light rail is opened it will become possible to create an urban environment in which the car is truly secondary.”All that connectivity comes with a price. Tel Aviv now boasts an average home price of NIS 4.16 million ($1.2 million), rental rates are among the highest in the country and the cost of living is sky-high.Many of the city’s denizens say the rhythm and connectivity of the city is worth the premium.“I love Tel Aviv, I love the city, I love the cultural life. I love that I can walk everywhere, that there are so many opportunities in terms of work and leisure,” Itai, a pseudonym, told The Times of Israel when polled about the challenges of city living. “I don’t like it, but I am ready to pay another NIS 1,200 or 1,500 [$350 or $435] a month for those advantages.”Despite the new urbanist drive to reduce sprawl, many places in Israel are continuing to build expansive office parks, industrial zones or residential developments on the edges of town, isolated from each other and the city center.But even new, outlying neighborhoods can be built with 15-minute city concepts in mind. On the southern edge of Netanya, for instance, the neighborhood of Ir Yamim has risen out of what were pristine sand dunes in less than two decades.While far from the high-density mixed use urban fabric of an ideal 15-minute city, the neighborhood still features large parks, a high-end shopping center with a central concert space, a mall, clinics, a community center and more, alongside block after block of residential high-rises overlooking the sea.The area offers “the whole package — sea, synagogues, shops, and community facilities, all within walking distance,” said local real estate agent Maxine Marks.Though public transportation links have improved, connectivity remains an issue, with few bike paths and the neighborhood largely designed for cars. The area is bounded by the Purple Iris Nature Reserve on one side and Poleg Beach on another. Plans to build a hotel and another shopping center near the water have been decried by environmentalists, who worry it will cut off a crucial green corridor.Home prices there have rocketed beyond even the meteoric rises seen elsewhere: The average price for an apartment there in June was NIS 3.9 million ($1.1 million) up from NIS 2.8 million ($811,000) in June 2020, according to the Madlan real estate tracking website.The neighborhood now has a single block of offices, but most people will need to work elsewhere. Outside of city centers, new developments rarely include both places to live and places to work. As people return to working in offices again, time spent on the road is going up again.But with COVID having shown what a commute-less life could look like, many are seeking ways to cut down on travel, so they can live, shop, play and even work without needing to get in a car, even if they don’t live in the center of a major city. Ronen calls it: “creating livability.”
Fox NewsFox News-China has opened overseas police stations in US and Canada to monitor Chinese citizens: report-Michael Lee-Thu, September 29, 2022 at 11:45 a.m.
China has opened dozens of "overseas police service stations" around the globe to monitor its citizens living abroad, including one location in New York City and three in Toronto."These operations eschew official bilateral police and judicial cooperation and violate the international rule of law, and may violate the territorial integrity in third countries involved in setting up a parallel policing mechanism using illegal methods," reads a report by Safeguard Defenders, a human rights watchdog, released earlier this month.The report, titled "110 Overseas: Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild," details China's extensive efforts to combat "fraud" by its citizens living overseas, in part by opening several police stations on five continents that have assisted Chinese authorities in "carrying out policing operations on foreign soil."VP KAMALA HARRIS EXPRESSES SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN, TORCHES CHINA WHILE ADDRESSING NAVY SAILORS IN JAPAN-Europe is home to most of the police stations, with locations spread across the continent in places such as London, Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Athens, Paris, Madrid and Frankfurt. North America is also home to four of the stations, with three locations in Toronto and one in New York City. In all, there are 54 such stations in 30 different countries.The report details how China has attempted to "combat the growing issue of fraud and telecommunication fraud by Chinese nationals living abroad," running operations that have resulted in 230,000 Chinese nationals being "persuaded to return" to China "voluntarily" over the last year to face criminal prosecution.The Chinese government has claimed that the stations provide vital services to its citizens living abroad, though the report notes that many of the services are those that would be traditionally carried out by an overseas embassy. Instead, the report argues that the stations have been used to enhance China's overseas law enforcement capabilities in possible violation of international law.The report also outlines the potential human rights abuses associated with the stations, including using harassment and intimidation methods, such as threatening the family members of the overseas citizens. The stations have also served as centers to spread Chinese government propaganda and monitor the behavior and opinions of Chinese nationals."As these operations continue to develop, and new mechanisms are set up, it is evident that countries governed by the standards set by universal human rights and the rule of law urgently need to investigate these practices to identify the (local) actors at work, mitigate the risks and effectively protect the growing number of those targeted," the report concludes.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:(200 MILLION MAN ARMY FROM CHINA AND THE KINGS OF THE EAST) and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)

This is a really difficult period in world history' ‘Not a lot of peace’: Nobel season arrives amid Ukraine war, fears of nuke disaster-Experts say peace prize unlikely to honor Zelensky or the people of Ukraine amid a difficult search for a winner-By Vanessa Gera-SEP 30,22-Today, 12:20 pm 0
AP — This year’s Nobel Prize season approaches as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shattered decades of almost uninterrupted peace in Europe and raised the risks of a nuclear disaster.The secretive Nobel committees never hint who will win the prizes in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature, economics or peace. It’s anyone’s guess who might win the awards being announced starting Monday.Yet there’s no lack of urgent causes deserving the attention that comes with winning the world’s most prestigious prize: Wars in Ukraine and Ethiopia, disruptions to supplies of energy and food, rising inequality, the climate crisis, the ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.The science prizes reward complex achievements beyond the understanding of most. But the recipients of the prizes in peace and literature are often known by a global audience and the choices — or perceived omissions — have sometimes stirred emotional reactions.Members of the European Parliament have called for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the people of Ukraine to be recognized this year by the Nobel Peace Prize committee for their resistance to the Russian invasion.While that desire is understandable, that choice is unlikely because the Nobel committee has a history of honoring figures who end conflicts, not wartime leaders, said Dan Smith, director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.Smith believes more likely peace prize candidates would be groups or individuals fighting climate change or the International Atomic Energy Agency, a past recipient.Honoring the IAEA again would recognize its efforts to prevent a radioactive catastrophe at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia atomic power plant at the heart of fighting in Ukraine, and its work in fighting nuclear proliferation, Smith said.“This is a really difficult period in world history and there is not a lot of peace being made,” he said.Promoting peace isn’t always rewarded with a Nobel. India’s Mohandas Gandhi, a prominent symbol of non-violence in the 20th century, was never so honored.But former President Barack Obama was in 2009, sparking criticism from those who said he had not been president long enough to have an impact worthy of the Nobel.In some cases, the winners have not lived out the values enshrined in the peace prize.Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed won in 2019 for making peace with neighboring Eritrea. A year later a largely ethnic conflict erupted in the country’s Tigray region. Some accuse Abiy of stoking the tensions, which have resulted in widespread atrocities. Critics have called for his Nobel to be revoked.The Myanmar activist Aung San Suu Kyi won the peace prize in 1991 while being under house arrest for her opposition to military rule. Decades later, she was seen as failing in a leadership role to stop atrocities committed by the military against the country’s mostly Muslim Rohingya minority.The Nobel committee has sometimes not awarded a peace prize at all. It paused them during World War I, except to honor the International Committee of the Red Cross in 1917. It didn’t hand out any from 1939 to 1943 due to World War II. In 1948, the year Gandhi died, the Norwegian Nobel Committee made no award, citing a lack of a suitable living candidate.The peace prize also does not always confer protection.Last year journalists Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia were awarded “for their courageous fight for freedom of expression” in the face of authoritarian governments.Following the invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has cracked down even harder on independent media, including Muratov’s Novaya Gazeta, Russia’s most renowned independent newspaper. Muratov himself was attacked on a Russian train by an assailant who poured red paint over him, injuring his eyes.The Philippines government this year ordered the shutdown of Ressa’s news organization, Rappler.The literature prize, meanwhile, has been notoriously unpredictable.Few had bet on last year’s winner, Zanzibar-born, UK-based writer Abdulrazak Gurnah, whose books explore the personal and societal impacts of colonialism and migration.Gurnah was only the sixth Nobel literature laureate born in Africa, and the prize has long faced criticism that it is too focused on European and North American writers. It is also male-dominated, with just 16 women among its 118 laureates.The list of possible winners includes literary giants from around the world: Kenyan writer Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, Japan’s Haruki Murakami, Norway’s Jon Fosse, Antigua-born Jamaica Kincaid and France’s Annie Ernaux.A clear contender is Salman Rushdie, the India-born writer and free-speech advocate who spent years in hiding after Iran’s clerical rulers called for his death over his 1988 novel “The Satanic Verses.” Rushdie, 75, was stabbed and seriously injured at a festival in New York state on Aug. 12.The prizes to Gurnah in 2021 and U.S. poet Louise Glück in 2020 have helped the literature prize move on from years of controversy and scandal.In 2018, the award was postponed after sex abuse allegations rocked the Swedish Academy, which names the Nobel literature committee, and sparked an exodus of members. The academy revamped itself but faced more criticism for giving the 2019 literature award to Austria’s Peter Handke, who has been called an apologist for Serbian war crimes.Some scientists hope the award for physiology or medicine honors colleagues instrumental in the development of the mRNA technology that went into COVID-19 vaccines, which saved millions of lives across the world.“When we think of Nobel prizes, we think of things that are paradigm-shifting, and in a way, I see mRNA vaccines and their success with COVID-19 as a turning point for us,” said Deborah Fuller, a microbiology professor at the University of Washington.The Nobel Prize announcements this year kick off Monday with the prize in physiology or medicine, followed by physics on Tuesday, chemistry on Wednesday and probably, though the date has not been confirmed, literature on Thursday. The 2022 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Oct. 7 and the economics award on Oct. 10.The prizes carry a cash award of 10 million Swedish kronor ($880,000) and will be handed out on Dec. 10.
Russian strike on humanitarian convoy in Ukraine kills 23, governor says-Attack in Zaporizhzhia takes place shortly before Moscow plans to annex more areas of Ukraine in an escalation of the seven-month war-By AP-SEP 30,22-Today, 10:57 am 0
KYIV, Ukraine — A Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed at least 23 people and wounded dozens, an official said Friday, just hours before Moscow planned to annex more of Ukraine in an escalation of the seven-month war.Zaporizhzhia Regional Governor Oleksandr Starukh made the announcement in an online statement Friday. He said there were at least 28 wounded when Russian forces targeted a humanitarian convoy heading to Russian-occupied territory.He posted images of burned-out vehicles and bodies lying on the road. Russia did not immediately acknowledge the strike.The attack comes as Moscow prepares to annex four regions into Russia after an internationally criticized, gunpoint referendum vote as part of its invasion of Ukraine. Those regions include areas near Zaporizhzhia, but not the city itself, which remains in Ukrainian hands.Starukh said those in the convoy planned to travel into Russian-occupied territory to pick up their relatives and then take them to safety. He said rescuers were at the site of the attack.The annexation — and planned celebratory concerts and rallies in Moscow and the occupied territories — would come just days after voters supposedly approved Moscow-managed “referendums” that Ukrainian and Western officials have denounced as illegal, forced and rigged.Russian army shelled civilian humanitarian column at exit of Zaporizhzhia 23 people dead, 35 wounded, incl. 4y.o. girl-People gathered to go to occupied territories (for relatives/documents). There is only 1 entrance point & columns leave every morning – strike was deliberate. pic.twitter.com/ENbEFF13Ho — Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en) September 30, 2022-Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Thursday that four regions of Ukraine — Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — would be folded into Russia during a Kremlin ceremony attended by President Vladimir Putin, who is expected to give a major speech. Peskov said the regions’ pro-Moscow administrators would sign treaties to join Russia in the Kremlin’s ornate St. George’s Hall.In an apparent response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called an emergency meeting Friday of his National Security and Defense Council.Zelenskyy also sought to capitalize on anti-war sentiment in Russia by issuing a special video directed at Russia’s ethnic minorities, especially those in Dagestan, one of the country’s poorer regions in the North Caucasus.“You do not have to die in Ukraine,” he said, wearing a black hoodie that read in English “I’m Ukrainian,” and standing in front of a plaque in Kyiv memorializing what he called a Dagestani hero. He called on the ethnic minorities to resist mobilization.The US and its allies have promised to adopt even more sanctions than they’ve already levied against Russia and to offer millions of dollars in extra support for Ukraine as the Kremlin duplicates the annexation playbook it followed when it incorporated Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014.Putin early Friday issued decrees recognizing the independence of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, steps he had taken in February regarding Luhansk and Donetsk and earlier for Crimea.Ukraine has repeated its vows to recapture the four regions, as well as Crimea. For its part, Russia pledges to defend all its territory — including newly annexed regions — by all available means, including nuclear weapons.Heightening the tensions are Russia’s partial military mobilization and allegations of sabotage of two Russian pipelines on the Baltic Sea floor that were designed to feed natural gas to Europe. Adding to the Kremlin’s woes are Ukraine’s success in recapturing some of the very land Russia is annexing and problems with the mobilization that President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Thursday.Ukraine’s Western supporters have described the stage-managed referendums on whether to live under Russian rule as a bald-faced land grab based on lies. They say some people were forced to vote at gunpoint in an election without independent observers on territory from which thousands of residents have fled or been forcibly deported.In unusually strong language, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters Thursday in New York that Russia’s annexation would violate the UN Charter and has “no legal value.” He described the move as “a dangerous escalation” and said it “must not be accepted.”“Any decision by Russia to go forward will further jeopardize the prospects for peace,” Guterres said.As a veto-wielding permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia bears “a particular responsibility” to respect the UN Charter, the secretary-general said.UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Guterres conveyed the message to Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, on Wednesday.In what would be a major blow to Moscow’s war effort, the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said Ukrainian forces may soon encircle Lyman, 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.“The collapse of the Lyman pocket will likely be highly consequential to the Russian grouping” in the northern Donetsk and western Luhansk regions and “may allow Ukrainian troops to threaten Russian positions along the western Luhansk” region, the institute said, citing Russian reports.
Putin annexes Ukrainian regions, vows to use ‘all means’ to protect territories-Russian leader signs treaties, ratcheting up conflict and deriding West, says residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are Russian citizens ‘forever’-By AP-SEP 30,22-Today, 4:56 pm 0
KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin signed treaties Friday to annex parts of Ukraine in defiance of international law, saying Moscow would protect the newly incorporated regions by “all available means.”He also urged Ukraine to sit down for peace talks but immediately insisted he won’t discuss handing them back, opening a new escalatory phase of his seven-month invasion of the country.Kyiv and the West have rejected his land-grab in Ukraine. The European Union’s 27 member states said they will never recognize the illegal referendums that Russia organized “as a pretext for this further violation of Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.”In a Kremlin ceremony at the ornate St. George’s Hall to herald the annexation of the occupied parts of Ukraine, Putin accused the West of fueling the hostilities as part of what he said is a plan to turn Russia into a “colony” and a “crowds of slaves.”The hardening of his position, in the conflict that that has killed and wounded tens of thousands of people, further cranked up tensions, already at levels unseen since the Cold War.The European Union immediately responded to Putin’s latest step with a joint statement rejecting and condemning “the illegal annexation” of the four regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.Ukraine vowed to continue fighting and President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv would submit an “accelerated” application to join the NATO military alliance.“We don’t pay attention to those whose time to take pills has come. The army is working, Ukraine is united — only moving forward,” said Andrii Yermak, head of the presidential office.The ceremony came three days after the completion in the occupied regions of Kremlin-orchestrated “referendums” on joining Russia that were dismissed by Kyiv and the West as a bare-faced land grab held at gunpoint and based on lies.In his speech railing at the West, Putin urged Ukraine to sit down for talks and said it should treat the Kremlin-managed votes “with respect.” But he immediately qualified his offer of negotiations with a stern warning that surrendering control of the four regions would not be on the table.Putin said Ukrainian authorities should “treat … with respect” the lopsided results of the Moscow-managed votes and warned sternly that Russia would never surrender control of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.“I want to say this to the Kyiv regime and its masters in the West: People living in the Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia (regions) are becoming our citizens forever,” Putin said, adding that they had made an “unambiguous choice” to join Russia.Putin portrayed his invasion as part of a historical mission to reclaim Russia’s great power status and counter Western domination that he said is collapsing.“History has called us to a battlefield to fight for our people, for the grand historic Russia, for future generations,” he said.Both houses of the Kremlin-controlled Russian parliament will meet next week to rubber-stamp the treaties for the regions to join Russia, sending them to Putin for his approval.The separatist Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine have been backed by Moscow since declaring independence in 2014, weeks after the annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. The southern Kherson region and part of the neighboring Zaporizhzhia were captured by Russia soon after Putin sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.Putin and his lieutenants have bluntly warned Ukraine against pressing an offensive to reclaim the regions, saying Russia would view it as an act of aggression against its sovereign territory and wouldn’t hesitate to use “all means available” in retaliation, a reference to Russia’s nuclear arsenal.The Kremlin-organized votes in Ukraine and the nuclear warning are an attempt by Putin to avoid more defeats in Ukraine that could threaten his 22-year rule.Russia controls most of the Luhansk and Kherson regions, about 60% of the Donetsk region and a large chunk of the Zaporizhzhia region where it took control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.Asked about Russia’s plans, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that at the very least Moscow aims to “liberate” the entire Donetsk region.As it prepared to celebrate the incorporation of the occupied Ukrainian regions, the Kremlin was on the verge of another stinging battlefield loss, with reports of the imminent Ukrainian encirclement of the eastern city of Lyman.Retaking it could open the path for Ukraine to push deep into one of the regions Russia is absorbing, a move widely condemned as illegal that opens a dangerous new phase of the seven-month war.Russia on Friday also pounded Ukrainian cities with missiles, rockets and suicide drones, with one strike reported to have killed 25 people. The salvos together amounted to the heaviest barrage that Russia has unleashed for weeks.They followed analysts’ warnings that Putin was likely to dip more heavily into his dwindling stocks of precision weapons and step up attacks as part of a strategy to escalate the war to an extent that would shatterWestern support for Ukraine.The Kremlin preceded its scheduled annexation ceremonies Friday with another warning to Ukraine that it shouldn’t fight to take back the four regions. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would view a Ukrainian attack on the taken territory as an act of aggression against Russia itself.The annexations are Russia’s attempt to set its gains in stone, at least on paper, and scare Ukraine and its Western backers with the prospect of an increasingly escalatory conflict unless they back down — which they show no signs of doing. The Kremlin paved the way for the land grabs with “referendums,” sometimes at gunpoint, that Ukraine and Western powers universally dismissed as rigged shams.“It looks quite pathetic. Ukrainians are doing something, taking steps in the real material world, while the Kremlin is building some kind of a virtual reality, incapable of responding in the real world,” former Kremlin speechwriter turned political analyst Abbas Gallyamov said.“People understand that the politics is now on the battlefield,” he added. “What’s important is who advances and who retreats. In that sense, the Kremlin cannot offer anything ?omforting to the Russians.”A Ukrainian counter-offensive has deprived Moscow of mastery on the military fields of battle. Its hold of the Luhansk region appears increasingly shaky, as Ukrainian forces make inroads there, with the pincer assault on Lyman. Ukraine also still has a large foothold in the neighboring Donetsk region.Luhansk and Donetsk – wracked by fighting since separatists there declared independence in 2014 – form the wider Donbas region of eastern Ukraine that Putin has long vowed, but so far failed, to make completely Russian. Peskov said that both Donetsk and Luhansk will be incorporated Friday into Russia in their entirety.All of Kherson and parts of Zaporizhzhia, two other regions being prepared for annexation, were newly occupied in the invasion’s opening phase. It’s unclear whether the Kremlin will declare all, or just part, of that occupied territory as Russia’s. Peskov wouldn’t say in a call Friday with reporters.In the Zaporizhzhia region’s capital, anti-aircraft missiles that Russia has repurposed as ground-attack weapons rained down Friday on people who were waiting in cars to cross into Russian-occupied territory so they could bring family members back across front lines, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said.The general prosecutor’s office said 25 people were killed and 50 wounded. The strike left deep impact craters and sent shrapnel tearing through the humanitarian convoy’s lined-up vehicles, killing their passengers. Nearby buildings were demolished. Trash bags, blankets and, for one victim, a blood-soaked towel, were used to cover bodies.Russian-installed officials in Zaporizhzhia blamed Ukrainian forces for the strike, but provided no evidence.Russian strikes were also reported in the city of Dnipro. The regional governor, Valentyn Reznichenko, said at least one person was killed and five others were wounded.Ukraine’s air force said the southern cities of Mykolaiv and Odesa were also targeted with Iranian-supplied suicide drones that Russia has increasingly deployed in recent weeks, seemingly to avoid losing more pilots who don’t have control of Ukraine’s skies.Putin was expected to give a major speech at the ceremony to fold Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia into Russia. The Kremlin planned for the region’s pro-Moscow administrators to sign annexation treaties in the ornate St. George’s Hall of the palace in Moscow that is Putin’s seat of power.Putin also issued decrees recognizing the supposed independence of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, steps he previously took in February for Luhansk and Donetsk and earlier for Crimea, seized from Ukraine in 2014.Zelensky, meanwhile, called an emergency meeting of his National Security and Defense Council and denounced the latest Russian strikes.“The enemy rages and seeks revenge for our steadfastness and his failures,” he posted on his Telegram channel. “You will definitely answer. For every lost Ukrainian life!”The US and its allies have promised even more sanctions on Russia and billions of dollars in extra support for Ukraine as the Kremlin duplicates the annexation playbook used for Crimea.With Ukraine vowing to take back all occupied territory and Russia pledging to defend its gains, threatening nuclear-weapon use and mobilizing an additional 300,000 troops despite protests, the two nations are on an increasingly escalatory collision course.That was underscored by the fighting for Lyman, a key node for Russian military operations in the Donbas and a sought-after prize in the Ukrainian counteroffensive launched in late August.The Russian-backed separatist leader of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, said the city is now “half-encircled” by Ukrainian forces. In comments reported by Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, he described the setback as “worrying news.””Ukraine’s armed formations,” he said, “are trying very hard to spoil our celebration.”AFP contributed to this report.
Suicide bomber kills 19, wounds 27, in attack on Afghan education center-Attack targets Shiite Muslim area, home to the minority Hazara community; no claim of responsibility-By AFP-SEP 30,22-Today, 9:07 am 0
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide attack at a learning center in the Afghan capital killed 19 people as students prepared for exams on Friday morning, police said.The blast happened in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood of western Kabul, a predominantly Shiite Muslim area home to the minority Hazara community, the scene of some of Afghanistan’s most deadly attacks.“Students were preparing for an exam when a suicide bomber struck at this educational center. Unfortunately, 19 people have been martyred and 27 others wounded,” police spokesman Khalid Zadran said.Videos posted online and photos published by local media showed bloodied victims being carried away from the scene.“Security teams have reached the site, the nature of the attack and the details of the casualties will be released later,” the interior ministry spokesman Abdul Nafy Takor earlier tweeted.“Attacking civilian targets proves the enemy’s inhuman cruelty and lack of moral standards.”It is with great sadness that irecved the news that this morning there was a suicide attack on kaj educational center in dasht barchi area of western kabul province.and deaf students were killed in it.the islamic Emirate has failed to protect the people. pic.twitter.com/5lAnee8ir — Abdul Rashid Ehsas (@AhsasRashid) September 30, 2022-The Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan last year brought an end to the two-decade war and a significant reduction in violence, but security has begun to deteriorate in recent months under the hardline Islamists.Afghanistan’s Shiite Hazaras have faced persecution for decades, with the Taliban accused of abuses against the group when they first ruled from 1996 to 2001.Such accusations picked up again after they swept back to power.Hazaras are also the frequent target of attacks by the Taliban’s enemy the Islamic State group. Both consider them heretics.Countless attacks have devastated the area, with many targeting children, women and schools.Last year, before the return of the Taliban, at least 85 people — mainly girl students — were killed and about 300 wounded when three bombs exploded near their school in Dasht-e-Barchi.No group claimed responsibility, but a year earlier IS claimed a suicide attack on an educational center in the same area that killed 24, including students.In May 2020, the group was blamed for a bloody gun attack on a maternity ward of a hospital in the neighborhood that killed 25 people, including new mothers.And in April this year, two deadly bomb blasts at separate education centers in the area killed six people and wounded at least 20 others.Education is a flashpoint issue in Afghanistan, with the Taliban blocking many girls from returning to secondary education, while the Islamic State also stand against the education of women and girls.
Iran’s protesters chant from buildings amid crackdown on street demonstrations-Tehran governor claims protests have ended and security has been restored, but chants of ‘death to the dictator’ can be heard from people’s homes where it’s harder to arrest them-By AP-SEP 30,22-Today, 3:07 am
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -— Iranian anti-government protesters chanted from windows and rooftops in parts of Tehran early Thursday, but there were no reports of street protests in the country’s capital, where authorities have waged a fierce crackdown in recent days.It was not immediately clear whether that signaled a decline in the nationwide protests over the death earlier this month of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by the morality police for allegedly wearing the mandatory Islamic headscarf too loosely. Her death has triggered an outpouring of anger at the country’s ruling clerics.Iranian media have sporadically covered the demonstrations since they began. That they did not report any new protests in Tehran could mean that there weren’t any or that authorities have tightened media restrictions.There was also no sign of burned trash cans or rubble in the streets of central Tehran early Thursday, as there had been following previous nightly street protests.Tehran’s provincial governor, Mohsen Mansouri, was quoted by state media as saying the protests in the capital have ended and security has been restored. But people could be heard chanting “Death to the dictator” from buildings, where it is harder for police to arrest them.It was not immediately clear how extensive the protests were elsewhere in the country. Students have continued to demonstrate on some university campuses, including Shiraz University in the south.Authorities are still blocking access to WhatsApp and Instagram, social media services used by protesters to organize and share information. They are also heavily restricting internet access in the afternoons to prevent demonstrations from forming.Iranian police have clashed with protesters in dozens of cities over the past 12 days.State TV has reported that at least 41 protesters and police have been killed since the demonstrations began Sept. 17. An Associated Press count of official statements by authorities tallied at least 14 dead, with more than 1,500 demonstrators arrested. However, the Norway-based Iran Human Rights announced Thursday that its death tally from the protests was at 83.Norway advised against all unnecessary travel to Iran and urged its citizens inside the country to “exercise caution and avoid demonstrations and large crowds.”Authorities have meanwhile arrested Elahe Mohammadi, a journalist who reported on Amini’s funeral earlier this month in the Kurdish town of Saqez. She is among several journalists to have been detained since Amini’s death.Late Thursday, Iranian media reported the arrest of female songwriter Mona Borzoui and a former soccer player, Hossein Mahini, claiming they were “encouraging rioting.” Iranian hard-liners have regularly urged for the arrest of celebrities and influential public figures who have openly supported the protests. No further details on their arrests were immediately available.The police say Amini died of a heart attack after being detained by the morality police and was not mistreated. Her family has questioned that account, saying they were told by other detainees that she was severely beaten and were not allowed to see her body.In a speech late Wednesday, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi again vowed to investigate her death but said authorities would not tolerate any threats to public security.In death, Amini has emerged as an icon of resistance to Iran’s theocracy, which requires women to dress conservatively and cover their hair in public. Authorities have faced waves of protests in recent years, mostly linked to a long-standing economic crisis worsened by international sanctions.Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003, said the latest protests are different from earlier ones, telling the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle that “there is a possibility of overthrowing the regime.”“Unlike previous protests, people aren’t passive. When they are beaten by the security forces, they respond by beating the security forces as well,” said Ebadi, who fled the country in 2009 during an earlier crackdown on dissent.She called on the international community to withdraw ambassadors from Iran and impose sanctions on those involved in killing protesters.Iran’s leaders have blamed the protests on unnamed foreign entities that they say are trying to foment unrest. The Foreign Ministry summoned the French charge d’affaires on Thursday, accusing French officials of meddling in Iran’s internal affairs by expressing support for the protests, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.But even Jomhouri Eslami, a hard-line newspaper, acknowledged in an editorial that the protests reflect real anger.“In regards to ending the protests, authorities should not think that the discontent is over and will not grow. The current situation is like embers under the ashes, which can flare up again.”
US sanctions companies it says trade Iranian oil, in bid to speed up nuclear talks-Government agencies designate firms in Asia and Middle East, in wave of penalties on country’s companies and leadership-By FATIMA HUSSEIN-29 September 2022, 11:45 pm 0
WASHINGTON (AP) — The US on Thursday imposed sanctions on a group of firms it says have played a critical role in shipping sanctioned Iranian oil.The State Department designated two Chinese companies, and Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control hit a network of companies based in Hong Kong, Iran, India, and the United Arab Emirates.US sanctions on Iran have accelerated in recent months, as administration officials try to bring Tehran back to negotiations for a return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.Sanctions were imposed in July on a group of firms tied to the sale and shipment of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products to East Asia.“So long as Iran refuses a mutual return to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the United States will continue to enforce its sanctions on the sale of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products,” said Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson.The administration uses an August 2018 executive order signed by then-president Donald Trump as its authority to impose the sanctions.

She was detained this month by the morality police, who said she had not properly covered her hair with the mandatory Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab. Amini collapsed at a police station and died three days later.Her death set off protests in dozens of cities across the country, and the government responded with a fierce crackdown. An Associated Press count of official statements by authorities tallied at least 14 dead, with more than 1,500 demonstrators arrested.The US imposed sanctions on the morality police and the leaders of other Iranian law enforcement agencies, denying them access to any property or financial assets held in the US.

Live Updates: Hurricane Ian lashes Carolinas as death toll in Florida rises-hurricane-ian-florida-south-carolina-damage-forecast-path-2022-09-30/Updated on: September 30, 2022 / 1:25 PM / CBS News (21 DEAD IN FLORIDA)
Hurricane Ian was barreling toward South Carolina Friday after bludgeoning southwestern and central Florida, leaving catastrophic damage in its wake.The National Hurricane Center said Ian, which regained hurricane status after a brief span as a tropical storm, was expected to bring "life-threatening storm surge" and hurricane conditions to the Carolina coast along with "flooding rains" across South and North Carolina and southern Virginia. It issued a hurricane warning for the entire South Carolina coast.Ian was already bringing tropical storm conditions to the Georgia and Carolina coasts on Friday morning, the hurricane center reported.And Ian could have more in store for Florida: "Major to record river flooding will continue across central Florida through next week," the hurricane center predicted.Ian made landfall Wednesday in southwestern Florida as a major Category 4 hurricane, then ripped across the state. It was one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the U.S., and could be the deadliest in the state's history, President Biden has said.State emergency officials announced 21 deaths as of Friday morning, however they're not sure if all are directly related to the storm. Additionally, in Volusia County, the sheriff's department has confirmed two storm-related deaths there.People were trapped in homes. Videos and images showed devastating flooding. Today, nearly 2 million homes and businesses remain without power, according to poweroutage.us.Now, Ian is forecast to make its second landfall somewhere near Charleston, South Carolina, mid-afternoon on Friday, CBS News weather producer David Parkinson said. As of 11 a.m., its center was about 65 miles east-southeast of Charleston, and it was moving north at 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, according to the hurricane center.It should "rapidly weaken" after landfall and move farther inland over South and North Carolina before dissipating by Saturday night, according to forecasters.27m ago"Hurricane Ian's landfall is imminent" in South CarolinaA National Weather Service official warned Ian was set to make landfall Friday afternoon in South Carolina."Hurricane Ian's landfall is imminent along the northern Charleston County coast," the official said during a briefing with Gov. Henry McMaster.Ahead of Ian's second expected U.S. landfall, the hurricane's effects were being felt across the state, the official said. By Alex Sundby
Biblically destructive’ Hurricane Ian devastating for some Florida Jews on New Year-Sanibel Island Jews perform tashlich in waters that force their evacuation; Orthodox Fort Myers residents unable to evacuate after not receiving alert during Rosh Hashanah-By Jackie Hajdenberg-SEP 30,22-Today, 5:05 am 0
JTA — On Monday, after finishing Rosh Hashanah services, the congregants of Bat Yam Temple of the Islands headed to the beach to perform the Jewish ritual of tashlich, letting symbols of their sins be swept away by the warm gulf water that surrounds Sanibel Island.By the following day, almost every single person there had headed off the island, fearing the wrath of those same waters as Hurricane Ian bore down on their swath of Florida’s coast.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sanibel Island experienced “biblical” destruction when the storm hit on Wednesday, bringing with it a predicted 12 to 18-foot surge and punishing winds. The bridge linking the island with the mainland was damaged so severely that no one can access the island — striking fear into Bat Yam members about what has happened to the two couples from the synagogue who stayed despite a county-wide evacuation order.“Nobody has heard from anybody on the island since a little after 3 p.m. Eastern Time yesterday,” Janice Block Chaddock told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “I’m happy to be alive, happy that my husband and my mom are alive and I’m on pins and needles about other friends on Sanibel.”While the island appears to be among the places hardest hit by Ian, the storm cut a path of devastation up and down Florida’s west coast and across the mainland. About 2.5 million people are without power in Florida, where officials say there could be many casualties from the storm and that rebuilding could take years.Florida’s most substantial Jewish population centers, in the south near Miami, experienced only heavy rains and wind. But the cities of Sarasota, Orlando and Naples, all hard hit by Ian, are home to at least 70,000 Jews, according to a 2020 analysis of American Jewish population data, and other cities have smaller Jewish populations.Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz of the Chabad of Southwest Florida in Fort Myers rode out the storm at home, not by choice but because the evacuation order had come during Rosh Hashanah, when Orthodox Jews refrain from using technology.“We couldn’t leave because we only found out after yontif and it was too late to leave,” Minkowicz said, using the Yiddish term for a Jewish holiday.Fort Myers suffered severe flooding, but by Thursday morning, the storm surge had rescinded back into the Gulf of Mexico, and Minkowicz had mobilized, opening a temporary shelter at the Chabad House in Fort Myers, launching a fundraiser and providing video updates on the community’s relief efforts. By midnight Wednesday night, three ambulances from Hatzoloh, the Jewish emergency service, had arrived, and volunteers from Miami and Boca Raton are now working on logistics such as setting up a generator and Wi-Fi at the temporary shelter.On Thursday, Minkowicz’s group will host a barbecue dinner for people who are out of power or low on supplies, and will also deliver 200 Shabbat dinners to members of the community.“Now it’s a matter of helping people get back on their feet, helping them fix up the houses, getting them food, getting them what to drink, getting them supplies,” Minkowicz said. “That’s our next big job.”Relief efforts from beyond Florida are already underway. The Jewish Federations of North America is opening an emergency collection for donations and preparing to provide emergency grants to affected communities.“While we’re still assessing the damage, it’s clear that many communities in Ian’s path will have significant needs,” Julie Platt, the group’s chair, told JTA in a statement.A resort town known for its abundance of seashells and brightly colored buildings and whimsical street, house, and restaurant names, like The Blue Giraffe and the Lazy Flamingo, Sanibel has suffered catastrophic damage from hurricanes before. In 2004, Hurricane Charley divided Sanibel’s northern neighbor, Captiva Island, into two parts, permanently changing the geography of the area.Block Chaddock, who became a full-time Sanibel resident in 2018 but spent decades visiting her grandparents and mother on the island, remembers the devastation after Hurricane Charley. So many trees were torn down that the islands looked “barren and different,” she said.With what little she does know so far, Block Chaddock has a feeling that the devastation from Hurricane Ian will be much worse.Apart from the collapse of the causeway, which hasn’t happened before, street cam footage from the beginning of the storm Wednesday shows one of Sanibel’s main streets, Periwinkle Way, flooding several feet within one hour.Bat Yam Temple of the Islands, which only meets for Shabbat services from November to May, is housed in a local church just off of Periwinkle Way. Congregants have no idea if the structure where Rosh Hashanah services took place on Monday is still standing or if their prized Czech Torah rescued from the Holocaust has survived.Congregants don’t expect access by Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday that begins Tuesday night at sundown. So Rabbi Nicole Luna of Temple Beth El in Fort Myers has invited the Bat Yam community to join her congregation for services.For now, residents of southwest Florida are in shock, hoping the communication systems will be back online soon so they can check in with their friends, neighbors, and family members.Block Chaddock, who chairs Bat Yam’s governance committee and is currently in France with her husband for a work obligation, could account for the locations of several members of Bat Yam’s leadership, many of whom are sheltering in nearby Fort Myers or Naples. But she wishes more of her neighbors had chosen to evacuate.“All I can think about is their health and safety right now,” she said.
Lapid sends ‘thoughts and prayers’ to Florida as hurricane aims at Carolinas-Rescue crews wading through floodwaters in Florida in effort to rescue people trapped in homes; eastern seaboard braces for storms and flooding as second Ian landfall looms-By AP and TOI-SEP 30,22- staff Today, 4:49 pm 0
Prime Minister Yair Lapid extended his support to the people of Florida on Friday, after Hurricane Ian left a trail of destruction as it passed through the southern US state, and began to make its way to South Carolina.“The thoughts and prayers of all Israelis are with the people of Florida, and all those who remain in the path of this devastating storm,” Lapid tweeted. “Sending strength to my friends President Joe Biden and Governor Ron De Santis, and all those involved in responding to this tragedy.”At least six people have been killed in Florida since the monstrous Category 4 hurricane came ashore on Florida’s Gulf Coast Wednesday, flooding cities, blowing down power lines, cutting electricity to millions and dumping catastrophic amounts of rain on the state before moving back offshore.Climate change added at least 10% more rain to Hurricane Ian, according to a study prepared immediately after the storm, said its co-author, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner.Biden has said it could be the deadliest hurricane in the nation’s history.Tens of thousands of Israelis are thought to live in Florida, which is also home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the US.On Thursday, rescue crews piloted boats and waded through riverine streets to save thousands of Floridians trapped amid flooded homes and buildings shattered by Hurricane Ian.Hours after weakening to a tropical storm while crossing the Florida peninsula, Ian regained hurricane strength Thursday evening over the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center predicted it would hit South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane Friday.National Guard troops were being positioned in South Carolina to help with the aftermath, including any water rescues. And in Washington, President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for the state, a needed step to speed federal assistance for recovery once Ian passes.On Friday morning in Charleston, powerful wind gusts bent tree branches and sent sprays of steadily falling rain sideways. Streets in the 350-year-old city were largely empty, an ordinarily packed morning commute silenced by the advancing storm.With winds holding at 85 mph (140 kph), the National Hurricane Center’s update at 8 a.m. Friday placed Ian about 105 miles (175 km) southeast of Charleston and forecast a “life-threatening storm surge” and hurricane conditions along the Carolina coastal area later Friday.The hurricane warning stretched from the Savannah River to Cape Fear, with flooding likely across the Carolinas and southwestern Virginia, the center said. The forecast predicted a storm surge of up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) into coastal areas of the Carolinas, and rainfall of up to 8 inches (20 centimeters).North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper urged residents to prepare for torrents of rain, high winds, and potential power outages.Visiting the state’s emergency operations center Thursday, Cooper said that up to 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) of rain could fall in some areas, with the potential for mountain landslides and tornadoes statewide.With all of South Carolina’s coast under a hurricane warning, a steady stream of vehicles left Charleston on Thursday, many likely heeding officials’ warnings to seek higher ground. Storefronts were sandbagged to ward off high water levels in an area prone to inundation.In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis said at least 700 rescues, mostly by air, were conducted on Thursday involving the US Coast Guard, the National Guard, and urban search-and-rescue teams.In the Fort Myers area, the hurricane ripped homes from their slabs and deposited them among shredded wreckage. Businesses near the beach were completely razed, leaving twisted debris. Broken docks floated at odd angles beside damaged boats. Fires smoldered on lots where houses once stood.“I don’t know how anyone could have survived in there,” William Goodison said amid the wreckage of a mobile home park in Fort Myers Beach where he’d lived for 11 years. Goodison said he was alive only because he rode out the storm at his son’s house inland.The road into Fort Myers was littered with broken trees, boat trailers, and other debris. Cars were left abandoned on the road, having stalled when the storm surge flooded their engines.Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said his office was scrambling to respond to thousands of 911 calls in the Fort Myers area, but many roads and bridges were impassable.
Buildings leveled. Homes underwater. Fort Myers Beach 'is gone' after Hurricane Ian damage.Dan Glaun, John Kennedy, Samantha Neely and Jeanine Santucci, USA TODAY-Fri, September 30, 2022 at 12:17 p.m.
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Joy McCormack stood across the road from a stretch of mobile homes, townhouses, and condos now covered in knee-deep flood waters.She watched her neighbors wade to and from their homes, hoping to salvage something from the wreckage. She wondered how her home in the nearby Iona Ranch mobile home park had fared after Hurricane Ian, but she knew the devastation probably took it as well.“I think mine is going to be a total loss,” McCormack said. “It’s the only house I have, and if it’s gone …”Her voice trailed off.For Mitch Stough and his brother Mike, Fort Myers Beach was their livelihood. Now it has been destroyed.“It's leveled,” Mitch told The News-Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.Fort Myers Beach, along with Lee County’s other barrier islands, took the brunt of Hurricane Ian’s assault on Florida’s coastline. The storm, a Category 4 when it made landfall, sent 150 mph winds and a towering storm surge tearing through the town’s center.Fort Myers, with its population of more than 92,000, is a popular city for tourists and spring breakers. The nearby small coastal town of Fort Myers Beach, filled with beachside bars and hotels and resorts, sits on skinny Estero Island, which left it more vulnerable as Ian pounded the region. The town has a population of nearly 6,000.The cities and towns there were some of the first lashed by the storm. Other areas of the state are still seeing heavy rains and haven't broken free of Ian's grip yet. Local officials, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Joe Biden say the storm is likely to be historically deadly and costly.Mitch and Mike Stough sheltered on the third floor of the Estero Island Beach Club, where Mike worked. From there, they had a front-row view of the chaos. Waves poured over Estero Boulevard, demolishing the lower floors of buildings and carrying away vehicles, they said. Their car went flying.Mitch, who worked at the landmark Lani Kai resort, said the storm surge stripped the vacation spot's first floor to its structural elements."There’s nothing there," he said. “Fort Myers Beach is gone.”A couple of miles out, boats could be seen thrown against road guardrails, ripped from their storage yards. Closer to the Matanzas Pass Bridge, entire marina buildings were shattered, wooden docks twisted and splintered. Sheriff’s deputies blocked access to Estero Island, saying the bridge was unsafe to cross.On San Carlos Island, rows of houses were savaged by winds and water, shingles stripped, windows shattered. A boat blocked the middle of the road, dragged out of a driveway by the storm. Residents, looking shellshocked, began the monumental task of cleaning up, picking up pieces of debris from their lawns.For Mitch and Mike Stough, there was no coming back: They said they planned to move elsewhere.“There’s nothing here for us. Our jobs are gone. Our car’s gone. There’s nothing open,” he said. “It’s going to take a couple years to get this thing back into shape again.”A few miles west, a chunk of the causeway connecting Sanibel Island to Florida's mainland had fallen into the sea, cutting off access to the barrier island where 6,300 people live.There, the devastation was near total. Aerial video by ABC News shows homes with damaged or missing roofs, some that had drifted off their foundations, and rows of houses surrounded by water from storm surge."Sanibel is destruction. ... It got hit with really biblical storm surge," DeSantis said.He said rescuers were working to bring those who remained on the island to safety. Two people were confirmed dead on Sanibel Island, officials said Thursday evening, part of the total death toll of 14 in the state, though the number was expected to rise dramatically.Further south, the historic beachfront pier in Naples was destroyed, with even the pilings underneath torn out. “Right now, there is no pier,” said Penny Taylor, a Collier County commissioner.Stan Pentz heard the boom of the stormwater rushing into his Iona Ranch mobile home in Fort Myers on Wednesday loud and clear. He said the water rapidly rose up the canals outside his home before bursting through his sliding doors. Pentz held onto the blinds, desperately trying to get out while his home filled with water.Once out, the current dragged him up and around his home to some bushes, where he stayed for three hours. The debris slammed into him until he could swim toward a building for shelter.He has already been to his house to try to save what he can, but it's no use: "It's all underwater."Contributing: The Associated Press
BBC-Hurricane Ian: Survivors speak of 'brutal' storm as Florida counts cost-Bernd Debusmann Jr & John Sudworth & Flora Drury - BBC News, Florida and London-Fri, September 30, 2022 at 7:43 a.m.
The damage left behind in Hurricane Ian's wake is obvious: the boats piled up in the streets in Fort Myers, the pier ripped in half in Naples.What authorities in Florida don't know yet is how many people died.US President Joe Biden has warned that Ian - which hit on Wednesday as a category four storm - could be the deadliest in the state's history.The focus has now turned to a massive search and rescue operation as Ian heads towards North and South Carolina.So far, more than 700 people had been rescued from Charlotte and Lee Counties, the two worst hit areas, Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis said on Thursday. He warned both counties had been left basically "off the grid" following power outages, which hours later were still affecting some 2.2 million homes and businesses across the state.However, he refused to speculate on the number who may have been killed, and it is unclear how many people are still awaiting help. In particular, there are fears for two barrier islands, just off the coast, which were "hit with really biblical storm surges" but remained cut off from the mainland, Mr DeSantis said. Fort Myers devastation: 'Worst storm surge I've seen' Joseph Tiseo, a Charlotte County commissioner, confirmed to the BBC they had recorded at least 10 deaths since the "brutal" storm - although it was unclear how many were as a direct result of the hurricane. First responders were still trying to reach some of those who had called for help hours earlier, he said."We had a bunch of calls coming in when the storm was approaching, but we had to shut down 911 operations because we couldn't put our first responders on the roads during a hurricane event," he explained.Elsewhere, survivors described how the flooding had trapped them in their homes, facing life or death decisions as the water gushed in.In Fort Myers, Charlotte County, Janelle Thil was forced to swim to safety when her ground floor apartment began to flood."[My neighbours] got my dogs and then I jumped out of the window and swam," the 42-year-old told news agency AFP.Even homes further inland found themselves flooded. In Orlando, as much as 35cm (14ins) of rain fell, with rescuers going door to door to get people out of their homes.But some did not have the luxury of waiting for help."You have to either swim or drown," one woman in Orlando told CBS News, the BBC's partner in the US, after escaping her home through a window.Back in Fort Myers, Patrick Hallquist told the BBC the storm surge was "the worst" he had ever seen - despite having been "in quite a few hurricanes". Gov DeSantis described the surge as having caused a "500-year flood event".Before and after pictures show the level of damage done, turning roads into rivers, destroying bridges, and wiping out entire communities of mobile homes."It was terrifying, because you're helpless," Kim, who lives at the Sun Seekers mobile home park in Fort Myers, told the BBC as she waded through the debris left behind. "We had no [phone] service to call anyone - but no one would have come anyway."Gov DeSantis described his own shock after visiting the city."To see a house just sitting in the middle of Estero Bay, literally must have gotten picked up, flown because of the massive wind speed and the storm surge and deposited in a body of water," he said."I would say the most significant damage that I saw was on Ford Myers Beach, some of the homes were wiped out, some of its was just concrete slabs."Even areas which did not take the full force of the storm sustained serious damage. In Naples, to the south of Fort Myers, the BBC found a city half in darkness, its iconic pier smashed in half.A concession stand - which just days ago marked the halfway point on the pier - now stands precariously over the water, with splintered pieces of wood hanging off.About a block from the beachfront, some roads remain impassable and underwater, while others have been left covered in mud as the water slowly recedes.But despite that, Hurricane Ian - which has been downgraded to a category one storm - still poses a danger.At the governor's briefing, Kevin Guthrie, director at the Florida Division of Emergency Management warned about "indirect deaths" - the fatalities that can happen after a storm system has passed.He warned homeowners to watch out for power lines mixed in trees and said no one should be tinkering with generators and chainsaws, or climbing ladders without proper training."People need to be extremely careful," Mr Guthrie said."If you do not know how to use a chainsaw. If you do not know how to climb a ladder. If you do not know the difference between a cable line and a power line, you should not be doing that."Elsewhere, the countries which Hurricane Ian collided with are still struggling with the aftermath. In Cuba, which was struck on Tuesday, it caused a total blackout, while in Puerto Rico, the massive clean-up effort continues, after the hurricane hit the Caribbean island last week.There was also a power blackout there, and 10 days on, more than 269,000 households are still without electricity, according to poweroutage.us.Puerto Rico was already reeling from Hurricane Fiona, a category one storm that hit just days earlier, on 18 September.As Hurricane Ian rolls on and attention moves to Florida, many on the island are worried about being forgotten."To the people of Puerto Rico, we have not gone away," President Biden said on Thursday, speaking at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) in Washington DC."I am committed to you and the recovery of the island, we will stand by you no matter how long it takes to get it done."Meanwhile, at least one group of scientists believes that the impact of climate change may have increased Ian's rainfall by as much as 10%."Climate change didn't cause the storm but it did cause it to be wetter," Michael Wehner, of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, one of the scientists behind the new finding, told AFP news agency.The impact of climate change on the frequency of storms is still unclear, but we know that increased sea surface temperatures warm the air above and make more energy available to drive hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons. As a result, they are likely to be more intense with more extreme rainfall.The world has already warmed by about 1.2C since the industrial era began and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions.How have you been affected by Hurricane Ian?
