Despite
pandemic, masks still bamboozle our face-recognition ability – Israeli
study-Over 2 years since start of virus outbreak there’s ‘zero
improvement’ in human ability to recognize masked faces, say researchers
from Israel and Canada in peer-reviewed study-By Nathan Jeffay-SEP
23,22-Today, 10:26 am 1
The normally-adaptable human brain has
failed to improve its ability to recognize masked faces despite years of
pandemic, an Israeli-Canadian study has found.Peer-reviewed research by
Ben Gurion University and Toronto’s York University involved repeated
face-recognition testing on people who had been assessed early in the
pandemic.Back then, the academics recorded a 15 percent drop in ability
to recognize faces when they were partially covered by masks.In other
words, in almost one in five cases where we normally identify someone
successfully, we fail when they are wearing a mask.“There has been zero
improvement today, and performance is just the same,” Prof. Galia
Avidan, from Ben Gurion’s Department of Psychology, told The Times of
Israel.She said that the brain is normally adaptable, and she had
anticipated that as people started to regularly see masked faces, their
recognition ability could well improve.“We thought, ‘okay, seeing people
like this all the time might serve as a training of sorts and enable us
to do better, but this just didn’t happen,” said Avidan.As part of the
study, more than 2,000 adults were repeatedly tested, viewing a series
of faces, at normal and inverted viewing angles. They were assessed at
six different time points during the pandemic.Prof. Galia Avidan, from
Ben Gurion’s Department of Psychology (courtesy of Ben Gurion
University)Avidan’s colleague in York, Prof. Erez Freud, said: ”Neither
time nor experience with masks on the face changed or improved the
effect that the face mask has. The conclusion is that the adult brain
does not have the ability to adapt in the way it processes faces, even
when it is presented with a masked face over an extended period of
time.”Avidan said that recognizing masked faces is akin to learning a
second language.“People can do it, but not as well and not with the same
sensitivity to the details of sound, inflection and the like,” she
said.In Avidan’s analysis, rather than being cause for disappointment,
her finding is actually good news, as it indicates that the human
capacity to recognize faces is so strong that it is running at full
capacity, with no room left for improvement.“The system that is so well
tuned to perform, and so good at dealing with the stimulus we’re being
exposed to, that it just can’t go beyond it’s current capability,” she
said.
Sham’ vote on Russian annexation begins in occupied parts
of Ukraine-Separatist Donetsk leader calls widely denounced referendum
‘a historical milestone’; vote clears way for Moscow to claim Ukrainian
forces are attacking Russia itself-By AP-SEP 23,22-Today, 9:59 am 2
KYIV,
Ukraine — Voting began Friday in Moscow-held regions of Ukraine on
referendums to become part of Russia, Russian-backed officials there
said.The Kremlin-orchestrated referendums, which have been widely
denounced by Ukraine and the West as shams without any legal force, are
seen as a step toward annexing the territories by Russia.The votes are
being held in the Luhansk, Kherson and partly Russian-controlled
Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions.The vote, which asks residents if they
want their regions to be part of Russia, is certain to go Moscow’s way.
That would give Russia the pretext to claim that attempts by Ukrainian
forces to regain control are attacks on Russia itself, dramatically
escalating the seven-month war.The referendums follow Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s order of a partial mobilization, which could add about
300,000 Russian troops to the fight. The balloting will continue for
five days through Tuesday.As the votes was getting underway in the
occupied regions, Russian social media sites were full of dramatic
scenes of tearful families bidding farewell to men departing from
military mobilization centers. In cities across the vast country, men
hugged their weeping family members before departing as part of the
draft. Russian anti-war activists, in the meantime, planned more
protests against the mobilization.Election officials will be bringing
ballots to people’s homes and setting up makeshift polling stations near
residential buildings during the first four days of the referendums,
according to Russian-installed officials in the occupied regions, who
cited safety reasons. Tuesday will be the only day when the voters will
be invited to come to regular polls.Polls also opened in Russia, where
refugees from the occupied regions can cast their votes.Denis Pushilin,
separatist leader of Moscow-backed authorities in the Donetsk region,
called the referendum on Friday “a historical milestone.”Vyacheslav
Volodin, speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament, the State Duma,
addressed the occupied regions Friday in an online statement, saying:
“If you decide to become part of the Russian Federation — we will
support you.”Valentina Matviyenko, chair of Russia’s upper parliament
house, said that residents of the occupied regions were voting for “life
or death” at the referendums.The voting takes place against the
backdrop of incessant fighting in Ukraine, with Russian and Ukrainian
forces exchanging fire as both sides refuse to concede ground.On Friday
morning, pro-Russia officials in the Zaporizhzhia region reported a loud
blast in the center of Melitopol, a city that Moscow captured early on
in the war. Official Vladimir Rogov didn’t offer any details as to what
caused the explosion and whether there was damage and
casualties.Moscow-backed authorities in the Donetsk region also accused
Ukrainian forces of shelling the city of Donetsk, the region’s capital,
and the nearby city of Yasynuvata.Ukrainian officials, in turn, reported
new rounds of Russian shelling in various parts of the country. Vitaliy
Kim, governor of the Mykolaiv region in southern Ukraine that borders
the Kherson region, said explosions rang out in the city of Mykolaiv in
the early hours of Friday.Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the
Dnipropetrovsk region, said the Russians unleashed a barrage of shelling
on Nikopol, a city across from the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia
nuclear power plant, on Friday morning.

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

1 Therefore, thou son of man,

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

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.

Israel said to sell advanced
air defense system to UAE-SPYDER mobile interceptors made by Rafael are
capable of defending against various types of aircraft and threats
including drones and cruise missiles-By TOI staff-SEP 23,22-Today, 5:48
pm
Israel has agreed to sell an advanced air defense system to
the United Arab Emirates, Reuters reported Friday, citing two
unidentified sources with knowledge of the matter.The SPYDER mobile
interceptors made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems are capable of
defending against various types of aircraft and threats including drones
and cruise missiles. The report said the deal was struck over the
summer.Another source told Reuters that Abu Dhabi had bought Israeli
systems that can counter drone attacks that are a threat to the UAE.The
report did not say when the system was expected to be delivered to the
Gulf nation.Early this year, Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched
several missile and drone attacks targeting the UAE, leading to reports
that Israel was considering selling defensive systems to the
Emiratis.The UAE is part of a Saudi-led military coalition that supports
Yemen’s government against the Houthis. In 2019, the UAE withdrew its
troops from Yemen, but it remains an influential player.This year has
seen multiple reports that Israel and its regional allies are working on
developing a joint defense system to protect against the threat of
Iranian drones and missiles.Israeli Air Force officials have told
Israeli outlets anonymously that Jerusalem was working on the
prospective alliance with its Middle East partners, and the countries
have also recently developed joint systems for detecting missile and
drone threats.And in June, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that an
“already in action” air defense pact between Israel and its regional
allies had served to thwart Iran in ways he did not disclose.“I have
been leading for the past year together with my colleagues at the
Pentagon and the [Biden] administration an extensive program to
strengthen cooperation between Israel and the countries of the region,
under American leadership and CENTCOM,” Gantz told lawmakers.“Part of
that vision is what I call MEAD, Middle East Air Defense, which we are
building amid Iran’s attempts to hit the region’s countries with
rockets, cruise missiles and UAVs,” he said.The notion of a joint air
defense system between Israel and its Arab neighbors was raised during
the Negev Summit of foreign ministers from Israel, the US, the United
Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Egypt in March. It was also
reportedly discussed in talks between the US and Saudi Arabia.Israeli
military officials have said they have seen an increase in Iranian use
of drone attacks in recent years, dubbing it Iran’s “UAV terror.” The
Israel Defense Forces has confirmed it intercepted at least four Iranian
drones heading for Israel or the West Bank and Gaza Strip in recent
years. Another two drones launched from Iran en route to Israel were
intercepted by US jets over Iraq in February.The IDF believes Iran is
attempting to arm all of its proxies in the region — in Syria, Lebanon,
Iraq, and Yemen — with hundreds and even thousands of UAVs, in addition
to providing military training.
Sudanese military ruler Burhan
says he will visit Israel if invited-Despite plodding normalization
efforts amid political turmoil and coup, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan says
ties must come with ‘reconciliation,’ refuses to set date for
election-By AP and TOI staff Today, 6:39 pm 0-SEP 23,22
Sudan’s
ruling military general said Thursday he would visit Israel if invited,
seeking to push ahead with stalled normalization efforts two years
after the former foes agreed to establish ties.Speaking to The
Associated Press on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly
in New York, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan was asked if he, as Sudan’s
leader, would visit Israel, ratcheting up a relationship that has only
seen low-level or unofficial contacts so far.“The basis of relations is
reconciliation, therefore if an invitation was presented and there is
the means for this, I will go,” Burhan said.Sudan and Israel agreed to
normalize relations in October 2020 as part of the US-backed Abraham
Accords, a series of deals that saw the Jewish state establish ties with
three other Arab nations. Months earlier, Burhan spoke with then-prime
minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Uganda in an initially unannounced
meeting, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough that paved the way for
the normalization pact.However, the process to launch diplomatic ties
stalled after the normalization agreement was reached, amid divisions
over power-sharing between Sudan’s military and civilian government that
culminated in a coup last October.The coup, which upended Sudan’s
short-lived transition to democracy after three decades of repressive
rule by strongman Omar al-Bashir, led the Biden administration to
suspend $700 million in financial assistance intended to support Sudan’s
transition to a fully civilian government, including aid related to the
normalization deal with Israel.Burhan, who has been one of the main
drivers of normalization with Israel, said he will not run in future
elections for a civilian-led government, but offered no timeline on when
a vote might happen in order for him to relinquish power.Despite the
lack of official ties, Israel and Sudan have crafted security and
intelligence relationships that have seen officials exchange meetings
repeatedly on unannounced trips over the past two years.Burhan’s
comments came a week after President Isaac Herzog sounded optimistic
that progress could be made with Sudan, noting “positive conversations”
he has held with Sudanese leaders which indicated a “mutual desire” for
improved ties between the countries.“All Israeli governments have a
commitment to this dramatic transformation and to these accords, and the
Israeli people salute our new friends with a joyous and open heart,” he
said during an event to mark two years since Israel signed the first
two normalization deals with the United Arab Emirates and
Bahrain.Following Sudan, Morocco also joined the Abraham Accords in
December 2020.Prior to the agreement, Khartoum had long been a bitter
enemy of Israel and was the site of the infamous “three no’s” after the
1967 Six-Day War, in which Arab League members pledged there would be no
peace, recognition or negotiations with the Jewish state.Sudan has been
mired in political turmoil for over three years since Bashir’s ouster.
Its economy has teetered and inflation was expected to hit a staggering
245% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund.Since the
coup nearly a year ago, pro-democracy protesters have marched through
the streets demanding the generals hand over power to civilians. They
denounced Burhan’s takeover, which occurred when the military dissolved
the transitional government of Sudanese prime minister Abdalla Hamdok,
as well as the Sovereign Council, a power-sharing body of military
officers and civilians that had been ruling Sudan since late 2019.Hamdok
had been less gung-ho about establishing ties with Israel, but had
offered lukewarm support for the deal, which came alongside the US
agreeing to remove Sudan from its state sponsors of terrorism
list.Underpinning the coup were tensions that had been building between
supporters of military rule and those who support civilian rule — with
both sides frustrated by the country’s worsening economic
conditions.Troops have opened fire at protesters, killing some of the
marchers and detaining hundreds. While no police or security forces have
been convicted in the deaths, Burhan said around five or six are under
investigation.“No one killed protesters in the way that’s being
depicted,” he said. “Protesters clashed with police, and the police
dealt with them according to the law to protect public property.Burhan
said that once an elected government is in place, the armed forces would
be another institution of that government rather than retain a higher
status.During the interview, Burhan stopped short of giving a date for
when elections will be held, despite previously saying a vote could be
held in July 2023. Instead, he said the gridlock lies with political
groups that need to agree on a date for the vote. He insisted the
military had no role in that discussion.“We are talking about political
participation and widening that participation, whether that is Hamdok or
someone else, this person will not succeed without a wide base to rule
Sudan,” Burhan said. “The only authority to rule is through elections,
with no one imposing their will on another.”He also brushed aside
strains within his own transitional government, denying there were any
disagreements with the deputy chief of Sudan’s ruling military council,
Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known by his nickname Hamedti. Local
media over the past weeks reported disputes between the two generals.
Dagalo has also acknowledged the failure of the October military
takeover.Amid the political upheaval, millions of Sudanese are suffering
from high prices and a currency that’s dropped dramatically in value
against the dollar. The ruling military leader blamed countries and
institutions, which he did not name, for being behind Sudan’s
deteriorating economic situation.Sudan is in the midst of a deepening
food crisis caused by “a cocktail of factors,” according to the
country’s World Food Program representative, Eddie Rowe, who spoke at a
UN news conference on Friday.Sudan has seen two years of poor harvests, a
summer of devastating flooding and is struggling to access vital grain
imports from eastern Europe following the war in Ukraine. In response to
October’s coup, many major UN donors have withdrawn funding from the
country.To help ease Sudan’s crisis, Rowe called for lasting peace, a
reliable government, and further international aid and support.Burhan
decried the US decision to “freeze” its promised financial
assistance.There are those “who promised to provide assistance to Sudan,
but they did not honor their promises,” Burhan said. “There was much
support from those external actors but regretfully this assistance
ceased for political purposes.”

President Mahmoud Abbas Friday for his “bizarre, lie-laden speech” to
the UN General Assembly, which he called “disconnected from
reality.”Erdan said Abbas had “once again showed that his time has

UN to incite against Israel and back the terrorists whom he funds.”Erdan
said the Palestinian effort to gain full membership in the UN “will
fail.”“The US opposes it, as do members of the Security Council who well
know that [Abbas] has in the past rejected every peace plan, and that
terror organizations rule PA territory.”Abbas said in his speech that
Israel was “through its premeditated and deliberate policies, destroying
the two-state solution,” that Jerusalem was proving that it does not
“believe in peace” and that “we no longer have an Israeli partner to
whom we can talk.”He also called the Jewish state “an apartheid
regime.”Abbas did acknowledge Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s speech to the
Assembly the previous day, in which he voiced support for a two-state
solution.This, Abbas said, was “a positive development,” but “the real
test to the seriousness and credibility to this stance… is for the
Israeli government to go back to the negotiation table
immediately.”Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas holds up a

Assembly at UN headquarters in New York on September 23, 2022. (Bryan R.
Smith/AFP)-Noting those latter comments, the leader of Israel’s
left-wing Meretz party reacted to the speech positively, saying it
showed that “there is an opening for peace.”“Lapid opened it yesterday
and [Abbas] is timidly extending his own hand,” Zehava Galon argued.“The
Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a predetermined fate. The cycle of
blood can end and it depends first and foremost on brave leadership on
our side,” she said, calling on Lapid to “take the next brave step and
meet with [Abbas].”Lapid has been heavily criticized by the Israeli
right for backing two states.In a statement released while Lapid was
delivering his address, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu accused the
premier of “bringing the Palestinians back to the forefront of the
world stage and putting Israel right into the Palestinian pit.”However,
the prime minister’s comments drew widespread praise from Lapid’s
centrist and left-wing allies, as well as US President Joe Biden and
Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, who both called the speech “courageous.”

partner, lashes US for ‘pretending to uphold human rights,’ urges
countries to accept Palestine as full member state-By Jacob Magid-SEP
23,22-Today, 5:15 pm 6
NEW YORK — In his UN speech Friday,
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas noted the “positive
development” of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s voicing support for a
two-state solution during his address the previous day. But he spent
the bulk of his own remarks to the same body on Friday repeating
grievances against Israel’s government and security forces for their
treatment of the Palestinians as well as the international community for
failing to “protect” his people.“When we hear something positive, we
acknowledge it,” Abbas said, referring to remarks by both Lapid and US
President Joe Biden in favor of the two-state solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “I heard them supporting the two-state
solution and we’re thankful for that.”“But the real test to the
seriousness and credibility to this stance….is for the Israeli
government to go back to the negotiation table immediately,” the PA
president said, adding that Israel must cease all unilateral actions
such as settlement building, demolition of homes, evictions and
“killings.”Israel “is, through its premeditated and deliberate policies,
destroying the two-state solution,” he told the General Assembly.“This
proves unequivocally that Israel does not believe in peace,” he added.
“Therefore, we no longer have an Israeli partner to whom we can
talk.”“You should at least temporarily stop [unilateral measures]… and
if [the negotiations] fail then you can go back to whatever you want to
do,” he said.Much of the speech focused on lambasting Israel for a host
of alleged crimes he said it committed during and since the
establishment of the Jewish state, accusing it of operating an
“apartheid” regime against the Palestinians.”Abbas, 87, said Israel has
been engaged in a campaign of land confiscation and was giving the
military “total freedom” to kill or otherwise use excessive force
against Palestinians.“This is the truth: they are an apartheid regime,”
he said.He accused Israel of carrying out “50 massacres” — nearly
repeating a line that got him roundly condemned in Germany last month,
when he accused Israel of committing “50 massacres, 50 holocausts”
against Palestinians over the years. This time, Abbas did not use the
word “holocausts.”“Israel has committed 50 massacres since 1948 and
until today,” he said. He said the most recent of those “massacres” took
place in Gaza during the May 2021 war that Israel fought against Hamas.
Abbas held up the front page of The New York Times, which included
photos of the 67 children killed during the war. Israel protested the
article at the time, saying that Hamas had been responsible for many of
those deaths.Echoing an accusation made on the same stage by Jordan’s
King Abdullah, Abbas accused Israel of “targeting” Christian and Muslim
holy sites in Jerusalem. Israel dismisses the claim, saying the only
religion that doesn’t enjoy full freedom of worship in Jerusalem is
Judaism, given that the status-quo that governs conduct on the Temple
Mount bars Jews from praying there. Critics retort that Israel has
allowed the status quo to be eroded at the flashpoint site and has been
seeking to confiscate church-owned lands in the holy city.Abbas held up
photos of Israeli police attacking pallbearers and mourners during the
funeral procession of slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
Abbas again maintained that she was “deliberately” killed by an Israeli
sniper and lamented the Biden administration’s refusal to prosecute
those responsible even though she was an American citizen. The US and
Israel maintain that Abu Akleh was likely killed by accident by an
Israeli soldier during a fighter-fight sparked by an IDF raid in the
Palestinian city of Jenin.He accused Israel of “imposing falsified
curricula” on Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem, weighing in a
recent conflict that has embroiled in the capital.tAbbas has seen his
popularity plummet over his continued cooperation with Israel and his
refusal to hold elections in over 15 years. He again insisted on Friday
that he’s prepared to hold a vote immediately but cannot do so because
Israel refuses to allow Palestinians in East Jerusalem to participate.
Analysts have maintained though that the decision has more to do with
fears of significant gains by Hamas terror group at the expense of his
Fatah movement.The PA president pointed to votes by the Palestinian
Liberation Organization’s council in 2015 to suspend the recognition of
Israel and end security coordination with the IDF, which Israel and the
US credit for maintaining stability in the West Bank.Abbas said that he
has tried to stall the implementation of those resolutions in hopes that
there would be a breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations with Israel.
“We told them to wait for a while and be patient [because] maybe they’ll
change their stance,” he recalled.The PA leader did not go as far as to
explicitly state that he would suspend the recognition of Israel as he
has threatened to do in the past. However, he indicated that he would
not be able to hold off critics for much longer and called on the
international community to act.Several times throughout the nearly
40-minute remarks, Abbas implored the international community to back
his initiative for the Palestinian UN mission to receive full-member
status at the UN. Since 2012, it has held observer status, which has
allowed it to join international bodies, but in most regards is largely
symbolic.The Biden administration has warned the PA not to advance the
initiative, indicating that it would use its veto in the Security
Council in order to prevent a vote in the General Assembly where it
would more likely pass.Abbas suggested that the US position was unlikely
to change, leaving him with few other options. However, he continued to
object to the stance, saying that Washington’s support for a two-state
solution was only in words and not in action. The US “pretend[s] to
uphold international law and human rights,” he said, later saying the US
and the UK were complicit in the Naqba — the Arabic word for
catastrophe used by Palestinians to describe Israel’s independence.In
the meantime, Abbas said he would be immediately be applying for
admission to several international bodies, including the World Health
Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization.This will
likely spark the ire of the Biden administration, given longheld
congressional legislation requiring the US to pull funding from UN
bodies that accept membership from the Palestinians before there is a
resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Before ending his speech,
Abbas paid “tribute to the Palestinian “martyrs” who gave “their blood”
to the Palestinian cause and expressed full-throttled solidarity with
the “brave” Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails.“They are living
martyrs… and we will not leave them until they attain their freedom,”
Abbas said.He did not specifically comment on the stipends the PA grants
prisoners and their families, which Israel and the US castigate as
incentives for terror, but he did make the remarks about the immediately
after asserting that it will not take “orders or directives” from any
country.Abbas has for years told US officials privately that he is
prepared to reform the policy branded by critics as “pay-to-slay.”
However, no steps have been announced to that effect, likely given the
heavily unpopular nature of such a move.Lapid’s decision to give
full-throated backing to Palestinian statehood on the world stage marked
a sharp shift from addresses in the previous five years from former
prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who largely used the pulpit to speak
out against Iran and what he said was Palestinian rejection of Israeli
peace efforts. In 2016, Netanyahu told the UN plenum he was committed to
a two-state vision, but he later disavowed the comments.Lapid said
Israel had only a single condition to Palestinian statehood: “That a
future Palestinian state will be a peaceful one. That it will not become
another terror base from which to threaten the well-being and the very
existence of Israel. That we will have the ability to protect the
security of all the citizens of Israel, at all times.”“You can ask us to
live according to the values in the UN Charter,” he said, “but you
cannot ask us to die for them.”The news that Lapid would call for a
two-state solution in his speech had drawn condemnation from the right
flank of his governing coalition, as well as Netanyahu, who is currently
opposition leader and his chief rival in upcoming elections.
Thousands
attend government-backed pro-hijab rallies in Iran-After week of bloody
protests over woman’s death, regime supporters demonstrate in Tehran
and other cities-By Stuart Williams-SEP 23,22-Today, 7:38 pm 1
PARIS
(AFP) — Thousands demonstrated across Iran on Friday at
government-backed pro-hijab counter rallies, after a week of bloody
protests over the death of a woman arrested for “improperly” wearing the
Islamic headscarf.Iran has been rocked by street violence since the
death last week of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurd who had spent three
days in a coma after being detained by the morality police.The official
death toll from the clashes remains at least 17, including five security
personnel, but the New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran
(CHRI) put the figure at 36 and said it expected it to rise.As part of
the crackdown, Iran has imposed tough restrictions on the use of the
internet in a bid to hamper protesters gathering and stop the flow of
images of the backlash from reaching the outside world.The United States
announced Friday it was easing export restrictions on Iran to expand
internet services, days after SpaceX owner Elon Musk said he would seek
an exemption from sanctions to offer his company’s Starlink satellite
service in the Islamic Republic.The new measure will allow technology
companies to “expand the range of internet services available to
Iranians,” US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said.On Friday,
thousands took to the streets in support of the hijab and a conservative
dress code at government-backed counter rallies in Tehran and other
cities including Ahvaz, Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz.“The great demonstration
of the Iranian people condemning the conspirators and the sacrileges
against religion took place today,” Iran’s Mehr news agency said.State
television broadcast footage of pro-hijab demonstrators in central
Tehran, many of them men but also women dressed in black chadors.Amini
died on September 16, three days after she was hospitalized following
her arrest by the morality police, a unit responsible for enforcing the
Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.Activists said she
suffered a blow to the head in custody, but this has not been confirmed
by the Iranian authorities, who have opened an investigation.After she
was pronounced dead, angry protests flared and spread to major urban
centers, including the capital, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz and Tabriz.In
the latest violence, security forces fired “semi-heavy weapons” at
demonstrators during overnight clashes in the northern city of
Oshnavieh, the Oslo-based Kurdish rights group Hengaw said on Friday.
The report could not be independently verified.In nearby Babol,
demonstrators were seen setting ablaze a large billboard bearing the
image of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in videos shared
online.Some women demonstrators have defiantly taken off their hijabs
and burned them in bonfires or symbolically cut their hair before
cheering crowds, video footage spread virally on social media has
shown.Security forces have arrested activists including Majid Tavakoli,
who has been repeatedly imprisoned in recent years, including after the
disputed 2009 elections.Demonstrators have hurled stones at them, set
fire to police cars and chanted anti-government slogans, IRNA
reported.“The government has responded with live ammunition, pellet guns
and tear gas, according to videos shared on social media that have also
shown protesters bleeding profusely,” the CHRI said.Internet access has
been restricted in what web monitor NetBlocks has called a
“curfew-style pattern of disruptions” amid the angry protests sparked by
Amini’s death.“Online platforms remained restricted and connectivity is
intermittent for many users and mobile internet was disrupted for a
third day on Friday,” NetBlocks said.Access to social media services,
Instagram and WhatsApp have been blocked since Wednesday night, and
connections were still largely disrupted on Friday.The measure was taken
in response to “the actions carried out via these social networks by
counter-revolutionaries against national security,” Iran’s Fars news
agency said.Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, at a news conference in New
York where he attended the UN General Assembly, said: “We must
differentiate between demonstrators and vandalism.”The unrest comes at a
particularly sensitive time for the leadership, as the Iranian economy
remains mired in a crisis largely caused by sanctions over its nuclear
program.
Shin Bet nabs Gaza-directed Hamas cell allegedly behind
West Bank shooting attacks-Security agency says ‘military squad’ fired
at vehicles under direction of terror operatives in enclave; Palestinian
teen held for separate shooting attack at Israeli settlement-By Emanuel
Fabian-SEP 23,22-Today, 2:36 pm 0
Israeli security forces
arrested an alleged Hamas terrorist cell responsible for a shooting
attack on Israeli cars in the northern West Bank earlier this month, the
Shin Bet security service revealed Friday.In the attack during the
pre-dawn hours of September 9, an Israeli man was lightly injured after
shots were fired at his vehicle as he drove near the Palestinian village
of Huwara.The Shin Bet said the Hamas cell, directed by members of the
terror group in the Gaza Strip, opened fire with at least 11 bullets at
two Israeli cars during the attack.Several suspects arrested in recent
weeks allegedly told Shin Bet interrogators they were involved in the
attack, the internal security agency said. Firearms allegedly used in
the attack were also seized.“The investigation of the suspects is still
underway, but from all the information we have, a Hamas military squad,
directed by Hamas operatives from the Gaza Strip, is responsible for
carrying out the attack,” the Shin Bet said.Also Friday, the Shin Bet
revealed that security forces had arrested a 16-year-old Palestinian
allegedly responsible for shooting at a southern West Bank settlement
last week.The teen from the town of az-Zubaidat was accused of shooting
at the settlement of Carmel last Thursday, moderately wounding an
Israeli teenager studying at a yeshiva.The Israel Defense Forces said he
was arrested last Saturday near the Palestinian village of Um Daraj,
two days after the attack.He also allegedly told investigations that he
was linked to the attack, the Shin Bet said, adding that the weapon used
was seized.Palestinian gunmen in recent months have targeted numerous
military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier,
Israeli settlements, and civilians on the roads.On Thursday, the IDF
said it had recently arrested four Palestinians suspected of shooting at
the West Bank settlement of Efrat in July.Shots were fired early Friday
morning toward the West Bank settlement of Har Bracha near Nablus, for
the second night in a row, the Israel Defense Forces said, as troops
were put on high alert ahead of the upcoming Jewish holidays.In recent
months Israeli troops have also repeatedly come under gunfire during
nightly raids in Palestinian cities in the West Bank.The military
launched the arrest operations after a series of deadly attacks that
killed 19 people between mid-March and the beginning of May.Many of the
IDF’s arrests in recent months have concentrated on Nablus and Jenin, in
the northern West Bank, where a number of the terrorists who committed
the attacks earlier this year hailed from.Israeli security officials
have warned in recent months that the Palestinian Authority is losing
control of the northern West Bank.
Nuclear talks ‘hit a wall’
because of Iran’s ‘unreasonable’ stance — US official-State Department
source faults Tehran for demanding IAEA probes be closed; Raisi said to
tell reporters that allowing them to remain open ‘on an ongoing basis’
is non-starter-By Jacob Magid-SEP23,22-Today, 5:22 am 1
Negotiations
between world powers to revive the Iran nuclear deal have “hit a wall” a
senior US State Department official said Thursday, blaming Tehran for
the latest impasse.Iran continues to insist that the International
Atomic Energy Agency close its investigations into mysterious traces of
uranium it identified at the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites, the
senior US official told reporters on the sidelines of the UN General
Assembly’s annual high-level week, calling the demand “unreasonable.”The
official did not elaborate further.Raisi was pressed on the matter
during a meeting on Thursday with a select group of reporters. “If we
are going to be faced with a situation where the files remain open on an
ongoing basis, so we are back to square one,” he said, according to
Laura Rosen, one of the journalists in the room.Just a day earlier, US
Special Envoy on Iran Robert Malley told Israel’s Channel 12 that if
Iran continues to insist that the IAEA close its investigations, there
will be no possibility of a return to the nuclear deal.Malley said that
Iran “resurrected” an unrelated dispute with the UN’s nuclear watchdog
in its most recent response to a European Union proposal to revive the
2015 pact.“Either Iran resolves it by cooperating with the IAEA or it
won’t be resolved,” Malley said. “If that’s the position that Iran
sticks to, there can’t be a deal.”Last month, the EU put forward a
“final” draft of the agreement to return to the nuclear deal. Iran and
the US then took turns responding to the text, with Washington calling
Iran’s latest reply a step “backward.”EU-brokered negotiations taking
place in Vienna since April 2021 have aimed to restore the 2015 Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action, which then-US president Donald Trump
withdrew from in 2018, reimposing biting sanctions against the Islamic
Republic.Tehran subsequently rolled back on its commitments under the
agreement and began to rapidly enrich and stockpile uranium.In his
address to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, Raisi
insisted that his country’s nuclear program was peaceful and that he was
“serious” about negotiations.“Our wish is only one thing: observance of
commitments,” Raisi said, noting that it was the US that pulled out of
the accord.Israel has pushed its Western allies not to return to the
JCPOA and has long been concerned Iran intends to build nuclear weapons —
an accusation the Islamic Republic has long denied.Jerusalem has most
recently speculated that Iran and world powers will return to the
nuclear deal before the November midterm elections in the US.
Reuters-U.S. aircraft carrier arrives in South Korea as warning to North-BY Josh Smith-Fri, September 23, 2022 at 5:10 AM
BUSAN,
South Korea (Reuters) -A U.S. aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea
on Friday for the first time in about four years, set to join other
military vessels in a show of force intended to send a message to North
Korea.USS Ronald Reagan and ships from its accompanying strike group
docked at a naval base in the southern port city of Busan ahead of joint
drills with South Korean forces.Its arrival marks the most significant
deployment yet under a new push to have more U.S. "strategic assets"
operate in the area to deter North Korea.Strike group commander Rear
Admiral Michael Donnelly told reporters aboard the ship that the visit
was designed to build allied relations and boost interoperability
between the navies."We are leaving messaging to diplomats," he said,
when asked about any signal to North Korea, but added that joint drills
would ensure the allies were able to respond to all threats."It's an
opportunity for us to practice tactics and operations," Donnelly
said.South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has pushed for more joint
exercises and other displays of military power as a warning to North
Korea, which this year conducted a record number of missile tests and
appears to be preparing to resume nuclear testing for the first time
since 2017.North Korea has denounced previous U.S. military deployments
and joint drills as rehearsals for war and proof of hostile policies by
Washington and Seoul. The drills have also sparked protests by peace
activists who say they raise regional tensions.Last week the United
States said the carrier's visit was a "clear demonstration" of its
commitment to deploy and exercise strategic assets to deter Pyongyang
and enhance regional security.In announcing the visit, however, the U.S.
Navy made no mention of North Korea, referring only to a "regularly
scheduled port visit" and emphasising crew members visiting Busan to
volunteer at orphanages and explore the K-pop music scene.Officials
declined to provide details of the upcoming joint drills, but said the
carrier would be in port for "several days." Just hours after the ship
docked, long lines of crewmembers formed as they took COVID-19 tests
before being bussed into the city.One crew member, who asked not to be
identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said
that they were looking forward to a break but that the geopolitical
tensions were a constant presence."You can't ever really forget what
we're all here for," the crew member told Reuters.The visit is the first
to South Korea by an American aircraft carrier since 2018. Many drills
were since scaled back or cancelled due to diplomatic efforts with North
Korea or because of the COVID-19 pandemic.The carrier visit is useful
for political signalling, reassuring Seoul, and training with South
Korean forces, but likely does little to further deter North Korea, said
Mason Richey, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in
Seoul."A carrier group visit certainly doesn't do much - in fact, it
likely does the opposite - to discourage Pyongyang from developing more
nuclear weapons and delivery systems, as well as conventional
capabilities," he said.It nevertheless underscores that under Yoon the
allies see tighter military coordination and interoperability as the
best way to deal with North Korea, Richey added.Questions have risen
over the role the roughly 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea
might play if conflict erupts over Taiwan.Donnelly said such questions
are for policymakers above him, but said that operating with like-minded
allies such as South Korea is a key part of the U.S. Navy's efforts to
maintain the regional security and stability that has existed for more
than seven decades.(Reporting by Josh Smith; Editing by Lincoln Feast

Yahoo News Canada-Severe weather warning: Hurricane Fiona
will be 'historic', 'extreme weather event' for Atlantic
Canada-Elisabetta Bianchini-Fri, September 23, 2022 at 11:44 AM
As
Hurricane Fiona heads north to Atlantic Canada, experts are
anticipating it to be a historic, record-breaking storm in Canada."Where
it fits in the history books, we'll have to make that determination
after the fact, but it is going to be certainly a historic, extreme
event for eastern Canada," Bob Robichaud, warning preparedness
meteorologist with Environment Canada told reporters on Friday."It's
very powerful at the present time, it's still a major hurricane and it's
only 900 kilometres away from us, and it's getting bigger. So all that
momentum is trapped within the storm, it's very difficult for something
like that to actually wind down as it's approaching."Robichaud added
that the storm size is bigger than Hurricane Juan from 2003 and
comparable in size to 2019's Hurricane Dorian, but Fiona is stronger.On
Thursday afternoon, the warning preparedness meteorologist said this is
"going to be a storm that everyone remembers."Brett Anderson, senior
meteorologist with AccuWeather, says this looks like it's probably going
to be the strongest storm, in terms of low central pressure, on record
for Canada."Almost every computer model is telling us it's going to be
at least 935 millibars or lower, even down into the 920s," Anderson told
Yahoo Canada. "So most likely, this is going to be end up being the
strongest storm in Canada's history, in terms of the central
pressure."The current record is 940 millibars, which Newfoundland saw in
1977."It's already strong, and...the ocean water between Bermuda and
Atlantic Canada is abnormally warm, it's anywhere from two to four
degrees Celsius above normal," Anderson said. "So the water is warmer
and allows more energy for the storm to maintain itself.""Another
ingredient for why this is going to remain very strong, we have a strong
piece of energy, basically a cold front, which brought on cold air into
Eastern Canada yesterday and today,...but that front is also going to
merge with the hurricane, and actually add some energy to the hurricane,
it's going to re-energize the hurricane a little bit."When will the
storm hit Atlantic Canada? AccuWeather has identified that the centre of
the storm will make landfall over extreme eastern Nova Scotia around
5:00 a.m. ADT on Saturday."That's what it looks like and confidence is
pretty high with that," Brett Anderson said.He added that the expected
worst conditions will be seen in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
early Saturday morning, possibly into early afternoon. Later Saturday
afternoon and Saturday night, the storm will "begin to steadily weaken,"
the winds will start to come down and the rain will being to ease up as
well."Even as the storm pulls away on that south side of the storm,
it's still going to be windy right into late Saturday," Bob Robichaud
said on Friday."So the impact of having winds that strong for that long,
it just creates more stress on everything like the trees, like
structures. So that's why we're particularly concerned about wind."The
Environment Canada forecast expects Hurricane Fiona to move north across
Nova Scotia on Friday night, passing through Cape Breton Saturday
morning, and reaching the Quebec Lower North Shore and Southeastern
Labrador early Sunday. Environment Canada indicates that "severe winds
and rainfall" are expected to have "major impacts" for eastern Prince
Edward Island, eastern Nova Scotia, southern and eastern New Brunswick,
western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec, and southeastern Labrador.The
warning from Environment Canada on Friday morning also states that,
"most regions will experience hurricane force winds." There is also a
"high likelihood" of storm surge for parts of Nova Scotia, the Gulf of
St. Lawrence and western Newfoundland."The southwestern part of the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, in those north to northwesterly winds, that's where
the water is going to be pushed on shore and it's going to be close
enough to the centre of the storm where pressure is going to also
contribute to that storm surge," Robichaud said. "Right now, our
modelling suggests that storm surge, depending on the area, could be
anywhere from about 1.8 to 2.4 metres, so significant rises in water
level because of that surge.""It also suggests that maybe in some areas,
the peak surge may not be totally timed with the high tide However, any
kind of delay in the storm in arriving will result in that peak surge
actually arriving a little bit later, which could coincide with time
with high tide... So tomorrow morning is when we're we have the highest
concern for potential coastal flooding."The Environment Canada forecast
guidance suggests that 100 to 200 mm of rainfall will be present, but
closer to the path of Fiona, more than 200 mm is "likely," but those
estimates do include the rainfall from Thursday night and
Friday.Anderson warned that this amount of rain will cause flooding and
with winds anywhere from 160 to 190 kilometres per hour, particularly in
Prince Edward Island and eastern Nova Scotia, there is going to be tree
damage, and likely several power outages."We could be dealing
with...widespread power outages across Prince Edward Island, western
Nova Scotia, southwestern Newfoundland, that could last days, if not
weeks," Anderson said."Stay home, do not travel is absolutely
necessary... Be prepared for power outages, so preparations should be
made by this evening in terms of making sure your generator is ready,
making sure you have restocked enough with food, nonperishable
food."While the storm will hit the Nova Scotia coast first, the impacts
in Quebec are expected to worsen in the Magdalen Islands by Friday
evening with rainfall expected to be in the range of 15 to 25 mm per
hour, with strong winds until late Saturday, expected to last about 12
hours. The expectation is that there will be extensive power outages,
particularly near the coast, and between 75 and 125 mm or rain in the
Magdalen Islands, with about 30 to 50 mm of rain in the Gaspé Peninsula,
and in the lower north shore, a little more than 50 mm of rain in some
areas.Environment Canada is stressing that residents in the path of the
storm need to stay up-to-date on the forecast and learn how to prepare

Hurricane Fiona lashed Bermuda with strong
winds early Friday, as the Category 4 storm's center passed just to the
west of the British island territory and headed north-northeast in the
Atlantic with top sustained winds of 130 miles per hour, Axios
reports.The storm is expected to approach the Canadian province of Nova
Scotia later in the day. The Canadian Hurricane Center issued warnings
for "what looks to be a historic storm for eastern Canada.""It's going
to hit us in the face," said Halifax, Nova Scotia Mayor Mike
Savage.Fiona devastated Puerto Rico earlier this week. On Thursday,
President Biden promised that the federal government would help the U.S.
Caribbean territory recover. "We're not going to walk away," he said.

Fiona path - live: Canada on track to be hit with ‘strongest ever’
category 2 storm-Ethan Freedman-Fri, September 23, 2022 at 12:50 PM
Hurricane
Fiona is on a collision course with Atlantic Canada, after devastating
Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic earlier this week.The storm is
expected to make landfall late Friday night into Saturday morning,
bringing intense winds and rains, as well as possible flooding and power
outages to much of the region.The heaviest damage will likely be felt
in Nova Scotia, where the storm is hitting directly – but since the
storm is so large, dangerous weather is also forecast for parts of
Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward
Island.The Canadian Hurricane Centre has warned that this could be a
“historic storm” and a “landmark weather event” as the powerful storm
makes its way into the region.Fiona has already become the most
destructive hurricane of the year so far in the Atlantic Ocean after
floods and damaging winds left millions of people without running water
or electricity in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.These kinds of
extreme storms are only becoming more common as the climate crisis grows
and ocean temperatures rise, creating more and more powerful hurricanes
that can create serious damage as they reach land.Key Points-Canada

Associated Press-Approaching storm may delay launch try for NASA-MARCIA DUNN-Fri, September 23, 2022 at 2:08 PM
CAPE
CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — An approaching storm threatens to delay NASA's
next launch attempt for its new moon rocket, already grounded for weeks
by fuel leaks.A tropical depression in the southern Caribbean is moving
toward Florida and could become a major hurricane.Managers said Friday
that the rocket is ready to blast off Tuesday on its first test flight
without astronauts, after overcoming more hydrogen leaks during a
fueling test earlier this week.NASA said it will keep monitoring the
forecast and decide no later than Saturday whether to not only delay the
launch, but haul the rocket off the pad and back to the hangar.
Officials said it's unclear when the next launch attempt would be —
whether October or even November — if the rocket must seek shelter
indoors.It takes three days of preparations to get the rocket back into
Kennedy Space Center's mammoth Vehicle Assembly Building, four miles
away."I don't think we’re cutting it close," said NASA's Tom Whitmeyer,
deputy associate administrator for exploration systems. "We’re just
taking it a step at a time.”This would be the third launch attempt for
the Space Launch System rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA.
Fuel leaks and other technical problems scrapped the first two tries.The
322-foot (98-meter) rocket can withstand gusts of 85 mph (137 kph) at
the pad, but only 46 mph (74 kph) once it's on the move.___The

Images show rings of
Neptune, solar system’s outermost planet, with dazzling clarity-Pictures
taken by James Webb Space Telescope show not only planet’s thin rings,
but also faint dust bands, never before observed in the infrared, as
well as 7 of its 14 known moons-By Marcia Dunn-SEP 23,22-Today, 1:45 pm 0
CAPE
CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — Neptune and its rings haven’t looked this
good in decades.NASA released new glamour shots of our solar system’s
outermost planet Wednesday taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The
pictures taken in July show not only Neptune’s thin rings, but its faint
dust bands, never before observed in the infrared, as well as seven of
its 14 known moons.Webb showed Jupiter at its best in a series of fresh
photos released last month.Launched less than a year ago, the $10
billion Webb is spending most of its time peering much deeper into the
universe. Astronomers hope to see back to almost the beginning of time
when the first stars and galaxies were forming.NASA’s Voyager 2 was the
first spacecraft to see Neptune in all its gaseous glory, during a 1989
flyby. No other spacecraft have visited the icy, blue planet. So it’s
been three decades since astronomers last saw these rings with such
detail and clarity, said the Space Science Institute’s Heidi Hammel, a
planetary astronomer working with Webb.Hammel tweeted that she wept when
she saw the rings, yelling and making “my kids, my mom, even my cats
look.”Webb is the world’s biggest, most powerful telescope, operating 1
million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth. It rocketed into
space last December.The observatory is in good health, according to
NASA, except for one item.NASA reported this week that a mechanism on
one of Webb’s instruments showed signs of increased friction late last
month in one of four observing modes.Observations are on hold in this
one particular observing track, as a review board decides on a path
forward.
Wood cut to fuel King Solomon’s ancient mines caused
environmental collapse – study-Tel Aviv University research finds Iron
Age use of so many trees and shrubs in southern Israel for charcoal
caused irreversible eco-damage, made industry too costly to maintain-By
Sue Surkes-SEP 23,22-Today, 11:28 am 3
The folly of cutting down
trees and other plants for short-term profit afflicted the ancient world
as well as our modern one, with new research suggesting that the
extensive use of Arava desert vegetation to fuel the famous King
Solomon’s copper mines at Timna caused both the industry, and the local
environment, to eventually collapse.The ecological destruction wrought
then can still be felt today, the research team, from Tel Aviv
University, found.The Timna Valley is located roughly 20 kilometers
(12.5 miles) north of the Gulf of Eilat in the southern part of the
scorch-dry Arava Desert, in the far south of Israel. Nestled between
sheer cliffs, it has a natural ecosystem that forms part of the
Saharo-Arabian Desert Belt. This is characterized by sparse vegetation,
mainly along seasonal stream beds and in oases. In this case, the Evrona
and Yotvata oases are both located ten to 15 kilometers (six to 7.5
miles) from the Timna Valley.Since the Chalcolithic (fifth millennium
BCE) period, but particularly during a roughly half-millennium stretch
within the Late Bronze and Iron Ages (thirteenth to ninth centuries
BCE), this extreme environment was the site of one of the most important
copper production centers in antiquity.Weakened by internal struggles,
Egypt had withdrawn from the region, leaving the lucrative industry in
the hands of local Edomites.“Today we know that copper production
actually peaked here at about the time of Kings David and Solomon,” said
Prof. Erez Ben-Yosef, director of the archaeological excavations in the
Timna Valley, referring to the Biblical monarchs. “The Bible never
mentions the mines as such, but it does tell us that David conquered the
area of Timna, known at the time as Edom, placing garrisons throughout
the land, so that the Edomites became his subjects, and that his son
Solomon used huge quantities of copper for building the Temple in
Jerusalem.”Copper was extracted from the ore via smelting in earthenware
furnaces at a temperature of 1,200 degrees Celsius (nearly 2,200
degrees Farhenheit).The furnaces were destroyed after every smelting
event to extract the valuable metal. The remaining charcoal and
metallurgical debris was dumped onto slag mounds, layers of which
accumulated on top of one another, to eventually provide a chronological
record.Setting out to explore the environment’s role in the
sustainability of the Timna copper industry, researchers from Tel Aviv
University’s Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures
analyzed more than 1,200 samples of charcoal debris. (Charcoal burns at
a higher temperature, and retains its heat for longer than fresh
wood).They focused on material from slag mounds dated towards the end of
the eleventh century BCE and located within two fortified sites.The
team discovered that during the early part of the period they were
studying, three quarters of all the charcoal was derived from species of
acacia trees and the branches and roots of the white broom, both of
which would have been available nearby.Both have thick fibers and high
wood density, offering high-calorific and high-burning material.The
hot-burning charcoal of the white broom is referred to in the
Hebrew-Bible (Psalms 120:4), which states: “He will punish you with a
warrior’s sharp arrow, with burning coals of the broom bush.” The
shrub’s roots appear in Job 30:4 as a source of food.As time passed,
however, from around the middle of the tenth century and on, these
species evidently ran out, forcing laborers to search further afield for
plants less suited to charcoal production — among them date palms from
oases, and pistachio trees and junipers which today are found only in
higher and rainier areas.It would have cost money and time to transport
wood from distances of up to 100 kilometers (62 miles), across the steep
terrain, the researchers noted.By the middle of the ninth century BCE,
after the consumption of an estimated 30,000 tons of wood, the copper
mines in this area shut down.In one mound alone, the team found charcoal
equal to at least 4,100 acacia trees and more than 185,000 white broom
bushes.The researchers assumed that the Timna Valley’s climate in the
Iron Age was similar to today’s.But a wider range of desert and savanna
plants might have been available, as suggested by charcoal remnants of
species such as the toothbrush tree, Salvadora persica, (whose sticks
are traditionally used as teeth cleaners), which no longer grows in the
valley.More plants growing then would have meant more water within the
local ecosystem, stored mainly within the plants’ roots and stems, and
soils, and playing a key role in the water cycle, the researchers
inferred.Furthermore, many of the species relied upon by the Iron Age
smelters, including acacia and white broom, would have maintained soil
stability, enabled plants to germinate properly, and protected against
land degradation, in addition to providing food and fodder for wild and
shepherded animals.The removal of so many plants for the copper smelting
would have “irreversibly affected the system’s ability to retain
moisture,” the team
