The Flotilla of Terror and the Coming Gog and Magog War By Templemount Faithful

The six ships of multi-national anti-Israel terrorists that embarked from Turkey, north of Israel, and sailed to Gaza, actually came to fight against Israel and to arouse the entire world to oppose Israel. It was a step towards the end-time Gog and Magog war against Israel.This is a time of G‑dly testing for all of humanity. Here is the word of G‑d from Jerusalem to the entire world: If you stand with Israel, you will stand with Me! If you are against Israel, you will stand against Me! Israel is now facing a very critical time in the path toward her redemption. The war of Gog and Magog against Israel and the coming judgment of the nations is at the door (Ezekiel 38 & 39). The entire world is going to face the most significant and difficult period in its history. We can now recognize the beginning steps of this period. At the same time that G‑d's judgment falls upon the nations who persecuted — and continue to persecute — His people Israel, G‑d is going to complete the redemption of His people Israel and the building of his end-time kingdom on the Temple Mount and in Jerusalem. During this godly end-time period and together with his chosen people Israel, He will redesign the face of humanity forever exactly as prophesied in Isaiah 2:1-5.

At this very critical hour Israel, the chosen people of G‑d and His anointed vessel, is facing violence, battles and hatred that are coming from the four corners of the world. Nations and powers — and in the midst of them the Arab and Islamic nations — are leading a cruel fight against the small nation of Israel. They are calling to remove Israel from the map of the world. Their agenda is to stop and to destroy what G‑d is doing together with His people Israel in order to rebuild His Holy Kingdom in Israel so that Israel can fulfill what G‑d anointed her to be: A holy nation, a kingdom of priests and the light to the nations (Exodus 19:5-6). Thousands of years ago G‑d called Israel to be His vessel to bring to pass His end-time dream to redesign the face of humanity according to His principles. It is not an accident that G‑d chose our present time, which is such a materialistic and immoral era, to rebuild mankind on a godly moral foundation, which is more necessary than ever before.All the nations who want to eliminate and destroy Israel are actually and simultaneously waging a fight against the Almighty G‑d of Israel in order to stop His end-time plans concerning all of mankind. The Arab-Islamic nations realize that the G‑d and people of Israel are the only obstacles preventing their plans to control the entire world and to force Islam upon all the nations.It is not an accident that the eyes and hearts of most of mankind, especially in the Western world, are covered by the excesses of hedonistic materialism that makes them blind and deaf so they can not understand the very dangerous plans of the Arab-Islamic world. At the same time they refuse to recognize what G‑d is doing with Israel for the sake of their own future. They can not hear the call of G‑d to the entire world to stand with Him and with Israel and to be a part of the rebuilding of His holy moral Kingdom that He ordained thousands of years ago to be located atop His Holy Mountain in Jerusalem among His people Israel so that His Word will go out from Jerusalem to all the nations. They prefer cheap oil and other materialistic goods that the Arab-Islamic kingdom provides for them rather than the Kingdom of G‑d with its beneficial spiritual gifts that Almighty G‑d wants to give them through His people Israel. In this way mankind brings itself closer and closer to the end-time war of Gog and Magog and the day of G‑d's judgment.I am calling every one and every nation in the world — especially the many cruel Arab-Islamic enemies of Israel to give attention to the Word of G‑d:

For the day of the L‑rd is near upon all the nations: as you have done, it shall be done to you: your deeds shall return upon your own head. For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, indeed, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. But upon Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.(Obadiah 1:15-17)

I call every one of them to consider their ways and immediately stop their plans to remove Israel from the map of the world and from the Land that G‑d gave only to them in an eternal covenant. This vital call is to end their hatred and violence against the people of G‑d and to understand that G‑d will never allow them to fulfill their plans to eliminate Israel. Even more than at any time in the past, Israel today is G‑d's moral testimony to the entire world. The Almighty G‑d of Israel is determined to complete what He started when He re-established the Kingdom of Israel in the year 1948. He will not allow anyone or any power in the world — including the powerful leaders of worldly governments — to change His end-time plans concerning Israel or to stop the redemption of His people and the Land of Israel. G‑d will not allow any one in the world to hurt Israel, not even to touch one hair of her head. His love for Israel is unconditional and eternal.The Flotilla of Terror From Turkey in the Sea Battle Against Israel On the 31st of May, six ships of hatred, terror and violence against Israel made their way from Turkey to Gaza with the encouragement of the extremist Islamic government of Turkey, which is controlled by bands of extremist Islamic terrorists that declare again and again like their ally in Iran, Ahmadinejad, that their goal is to destroy Israel and to remove her from the map of the world. Their goal was to open the port of Gaza for the import of all kinds of heavy weapons that will originate from Iran and will help them fulfill their goal to destroy Israel. The six terror ships carried many terrorists, including members of Al-Qaeda, the terror organization that destroyed the twin towers in New York City on September 11, 2001. They brought many weapons with them. Israel could not allow herself to permit them to enter the Port of Gaza and turn it into an open-line of terror against Israel. Israel stated that if the ships wanted to deliver humanitarian products to Gaza, they could bring them to the Ashdod port where Israel would deliver the cargo to Gaza after examining the ships and their cargoes for weaponry. When the Israeli navy stopped the ships and Israeli soldiers boarded the vessels, the soldiers were attacked by the terrorists with knives and other weapons, including live-fire. The hostile terrorists started to lynch the Israeli soldiers. The soldiers had no choice but to protect themselves and to save their lives. Seven Israeli soldiers were injured, two of them critically. Nine of the terrorists were killed when they shot live-fire weapons at the Israeli soldiers. Afterwards the Israeli navy escorted the ships to Ashdod and delivered the humanitarian cargo to Gaza as Israel, herself, does all of the time.

It is a shame that most of the world started to bash and condemn Israel and in this way they gave their support to the terrorists showing their hypocrisy and immoral behavior. Instead of standing with Israel, who has not stopped sacrificing her precious sons and daughters throughout the past 62 years in order to protect herself during seven wars and the continual cruel terror of the Arab-Islamic nations that want to destroy and eliminate Israel from the map of the world. More than 22,000 Israeli soldiers and many, many thousands of civilians have fallen in these wars in order to protect Israel and the Kingdom of G‑d in the Holy Land. Today Israel says to the entire world: "No one will take from us the right to protect ourselves from the evil powers. Never again will we be taken like lambs to the slaughter as was done to us during the Holocaust and during the last 2,000 years of exile." The Almighty G‑d of Israel is together with His people Israel to protect them and to fight with them in all the fields of battle against the many enemies that are coming to destroy them. As He has defeated, together with His Israeli soldiers, all the enemies that have come against Israel, so He will do in the future. All the Islamic enemies of Israel are preparing themselves for the coming war. They believe that this time they have a chance to destroy Israel; however, the G‑d of Israel is waiting for them and is ready to fight against them and to judge all of them. Then shall the L‑rd go out, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.(Zechariah 14:3).

On the 7th of June, the Iranians declared that they are going to send to Gaza another flotilla of terror that will be followed by Iranian-armed soldiers. This is the Iran that has stated again and again during the last couple of years that her goal is to remove Israel from the map of the world. We can be sure that Israel will not allow this terror provocation and attack against Israel to come to Gaza in order to further arm the Hamas terror organization that continues to attack Israel with rockets and missiles. The terror ships to Gaza from Turkey and Iran indicate that the end-time Gog and Magog war and judgment of the Almighty G‑d of Israel upon the nations that are coming to destroy His people Israel and to stop the end-time godly event of the redemption of Israel and the entire world is behind the door.As we see, today Israel is surrounded from every side by Islamic and Arab countries who prepare themselves to remove Israel from the map of the world by war, terror and violence. The holy book of Psalms prophesies about this and calls G‑d to judge these countries:

Do not keep silence, O G‑d: do not hold your peace, and be still, O G‑d. For lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they who hate you have lifted up the head. They take crafty counsel against your people, and consult against your hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you and said, Let us seize for our possession the pastures of G‑d. O my G‑d, make them like the whirling chaff: like the stubble before the wind. As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire; so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O L‑rd. Let them be confounded and affrighted forever; and let them be put to shame, and perish: that men may know that you alone, whose name is the L‑rd, are the most high over all the earth.(Psalms 83:1-6,13-19 / Christian Bible: Psalm 83:1-6,12-18)

Now, the enemies of Israel have continued to circle around her from the sea as well. In the east it is Iran that prepares nuclear weapons for the goal to annihilate Israel. Iraq, with her Shi'a majority population (as in Iran) will become a part of Iran, when the American military, under orders from President Obama, will soon be removed from Iraq. Syria and the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon continue to form the militant circle around Israel with each of them possessing between 60,000-70,000 missiles directed against Israel that have the ability to strike every centimeter of the Land of Israel. They continually threaten Israel that these missiles will destroy her in the coming war. In the Gaza Strip the Hamas is armed with thousands of rockets and missiles that persistently strike Israel. The extremist Islamic government of Turkey, that sent the ships of terror against Israel, completes from the north the circle of militancy against Israel. Other multi-national ships that are going to be sent to Gaza again to provoke Israel will complete the circle of aggression against Israel. Anti-Israel demonstrations, with thousands of people, are taking place all over the world calling for the elimination of Israel. Some of them are calling for Israel to be sent back to Auschwitz! Others, like the White House journalist Helen Thomas, called for Israelis to be sent to Germany and Poland, where six million Jews were heinously murdered in satanic ways during WWII.The meaning of all these actions and statements is very clear: the enemies of Israel, backed with the support of most of the world, prepare themselves and are making the first steps of the end-time Gog and Magog War against Israel that was prophesied by the prophets Ezekiel, Zechariah, Joel and others. Through this war the Almighty G‑d of Israel is going to show the entire world His greatness, His love, His faithfulness and commitment to the covenant that He made with His chosen people Israel and His determination to complete in our generation the end-time process of the redemption of Israel, and through Israel, that of the entire world. This will also be as it was prophesied: a war of judgment upon the enemies and nations that came to destroy Israel and G‑d's dream for a godly moral revolution throughout the world. For thousands of years G‑d has prepared His people Israel for this critical hour and promised to protect and stand with them. He called this end-time war of judgment the Gog and Magog War that will start from the north (Turkey, Syria, Russia and others):

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the L‑rd G‑d; In that day when my people of Israel dwell safely, shall you not know it: And you shall come from your place out of the far sides of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: and you shall come up against my people of Israel, like a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified by you, O Gog, before their eyes. And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the L‑rd G‑d; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: and I will turn you about, and entice you on, and will cause you to come up from the far sides of the north, and will bring you against the mountains of Israel: and I will smite your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand. You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands, and the peoples that are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. You shall fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, says the L‑rd G‑d. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell securely in the coastlands: and they shall know that I am the L‑rd So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am the L‑rd, the Holy One in Israel.(Ezekiel 38:14-16; 39:1-7)

The prophet Joel described this war and day of judgment with very dramatic words and colors that cause us to think of a nuclear war, especially when we see Iran's zeal towards having nuclear capabilities while she declares the removal of Israel from the map of the world. Like the prophet Ezekiel, the prophet Joel prophesies that G‑d will judge all the nations that come against Israel and He will protect His people and the Holy Land of Israel :And I will exhibit wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and the terrible day of the L‑rd. For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided up my land. Joel 3:3-4; 4:1-2

The atmosphere in Israel at this special time is that the Gog and Magog war is really at the door. On June 6th, a conference of rabbis took place from the Jewish villages and cities located in the biblical heartland of Gush Etzion in Judea and Samaria. They called to Israel to get ready for the Gog and Magog war that is indicated by the violence surrounding Israel.Everyone feels the significance of this special godly time. It looks like Israel is again alone among the nations. But everyone in the world should know that we do not feel alone because we know and we feel that G‑d is with us and among us, and we feel very safe with Him. There is no fear in Israel from all those many enemies and nations that are preparing themselves to eliminate Israel. Whom shall we fear if G‑d is with us? In a time when violence and hatred is coming from most of the world against Israel, and the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, is putting pressure on Israel to divide her land and also Jerusalem, and to surrender to her Arab-Islamic enemies, Israel feels that we should answer President Obama: No! And to remind all of them of the Word of G‑d to Israel since ancient times: Israel is a people that shall dwell alone and shall not consider the nations. Numbers 23:9. But Israel should consider, listen and obey only their Beloved Almighty G‑d, the G‑d of Israel. We should always remember what G‑d said to Israel from the ancient times,I chose you not because you are the majority of all the nations, but because you are the minority of all the nations and I love you. But together with Me, you are the majority and the entire world is the minority:For you are a holy people to the L‑rd your G‑d: The L‑rd your G‑d has chosen you to be a special people to himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth. The L‑rd did not set his love upon you, or choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: but because the L‑rd loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, has the L‑rd brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the L‑rd your G‑d, He is G‑d, the faithful G‑d, who keeps covenant and grace with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; and repays them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face.Deuteronomy 7:6-10

In these days Israel is lifting her eyes, face and heart to heaven to the G‑d of Israel. We know, as always, that salvation for Israel will come from the beloved G‑d of Israel, who will fight together with His faithful Israeli soldiers that are ready to fight against the many enemies of the G‑d and people of Israel and to sacrifice everything when it is needed for Him, for His people, for His Land and for the betterment of mankind throughout the world.A few words of love to the many, many friends and lovers of Israel and the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement who are all over the world and are standing strongly with Israel and her Faithful Movement of G‑d at this time of darkness. We feel, and we know, that by this and by your good hearts you have touched the heart of G‑d and were chosen by Him from all the nations to have an important part in His end-time plans. You are carrying the torch of light at this time of darkness and you give hope to the entire world. The G‑d of the people of Israel will never forget what you are doing for the people of G‑d in a time when it is so needed. Soon we shall stand hand-in-hand in the rebuilt Temple of G‑d in Jerusalem, and we shall thank Him for the great privilege that He gave us to serve Him and His end-time plans at such a major, godly time. Thank you again and again so much for all of this and for who you are! The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement wants to again thank all of you who stand with the Faithful Movement both spiritually and practically with such great faithfulness and love.

Strong quakes in Indonesia kill 3, collapse homes By NINIEK KARMINI, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 16,10

JAKARTA, Indonesia – A series of powerful earthquakes rattled Indonesia on Wednesday, killing at least three people, triggering landslides and demolishing dozens of homes. A tsunami warning sent panicked residents fleeing buildings to high ground.The 7.0 magnitude quake was centered 18 miles (29 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor and 125 miles (195 kilometers) off the northern coast of Papua province, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its website. It was accompanied by a series of strong aftershocks, the highest measuring 6.4.More than 20 houses collapsed in Serui, a town in Yapen district, sparking fires in at least seven places, said police spokesman Lt. Col. Wachjono, who like many Indonesians uses only one name. Two bodies were pulled from beneath the rubble.Police and rescuers are still searching for other victims in remote areas, he said.Hundreds of people ran out of their homes, said Yan Pieter Yarangga, a resident from the town of Biak. Fearing a tsunami, people fled beaches and some raced for high ground. I ran too, I was afraid there would be a second quake,he said.

The tsunami warning was later lifted.

When the electricity was cut, some women and children screamed in terror, said Sgt. Junaidi, a local police official, who also goes by one name. Many were crying, they were so afraid.Earlier in the day, a magnitude-5.3 quake on Sulawesi island, nearly 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) to the west, triggered landslides that badly damaged at least 50 homes, killing one person, the official Antara news agency reported. Others were injured, but it was not immediately clear how many.Indonesia straddles a series of fault lines that make the vast island nation prone to volcanic and seismic activity. A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004 triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh.The quake that hit Wednesday was located more than 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the country's capital, Jakarta.

Flash floods claim 10 lives in southern France
Wed Jun 16, 1:26 am ET

DRAGUIGNAN, France (AFP) – Heavy rains triggered flash floods in the mountains above France's southern Cote d'Azur region, killing at least 10 people, a local official said Wednesday.Another four people were still missing, the deputy prefect of Draguignan, Corinne Orzechowski, told AFP.The rains on Tuesday caused water levels to rise swiftly by several metres, preventing many people from fleeing to higher ground and forcing some to seek shelter on the roofs of their homes.Overnight, rescue workers concentrated on helping hundreds of people trapped in their vehicles, houses or on rooftops, the secretary general for the Var region, Olivier de Mazieres told AFP.Helicopters had already airlifted some people to safety, he added.There were deaths in the towns of Arcs, Draguignan, Luc, Muy and Roquebrune-sur-Argens, Orzechowski said.Five bodies had been identified, but the bodies of the other five had not yet been recovered, she added.On Tuesday, emergency services had to let the body of a woman float away because the currents were too strong to attempt a recovery.A spokesman for Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said he would visit the region later Wednesday.We haven't seen anything like this in a decade, said the top official for the Var department, Hugues Parant, noting that 180 millimetres (seven inches) of rain had fallen within 12 hours.In a few minutes the water rose by 50, then 60 centimetres, said one AFP reporter caught in the flooding at Draguignan. And it is up to two metres,he added.

Such was the extent of the flooding that empty vehicles, cars and lorries alike, were floating down the street.The rising water also trapped a high speed train travelling from the southern city of Nice to Lille in the north at Luc with 300 passengers on board.More than a thousand people were involved in the rescue operations, including hundreds drafted in from other regions.Some 175,000 homes in the region are without electricity.

At least 35 dead in south China flooding
Wed Jun 16, 1:20 am ET

BEIJING (AFP) – At least 35 people have died and 49 are missing after torrential downpours in southern China triggered heavy floods, and authorities have warned of more rain to come, state media said Wednesday.More than 100,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes due to the floods, which damaged 7,000 houses and caused economic losses of 830 million yuan (120 million dollars), the official Xinhua news agency reported.The provinces of Fujian and Sichuan, in China's southeast and southwest respectively, as well as the southern region of Guangxi were the hardest hit, it said.Torrential rain that started pelting parts of China's south on Sunday were expected to continue into Thursday, the national meteorological centre said.

The centre has warned local authorities to prepare for more flooding and disasters such as landslides, Xinhua added.On Tuesday, 23 people were killed when part of a mountain made loose by heavy rain cascaded onto a construction site in Sichuan, slamming into tents where workers were sleeping.

Guatemala lowers Tropical Storm Agatha death toll
Tue Jun 15, 5:36 pm ET

GUATEMALA – Guatemala's disaster agency has lowered the nation's death toll from Tropical Storm Agatha to 165.Officials previously reported 174 dead, but have since determined that some victims were counted twice.Disaster agency spokesman Carlos Bianchi said Tuesday that 18,700 homes were destroyed, more than double the 7,000 previously reported.Officials estimate that Agatha caused nearly $475 million in damage nationwide.The storm hit May 29 and brought the heaviest rains Guatemala has seen in 60 years.Across Central America, flooding and mudslides unleashed by Agatha killed nearly 200 people.

Israeli ministers to vote on easing Gaza blockade By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 16,10

JERUSALEM – Israel will significantly ease its bruising land blockade of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, officials said, in an effort to blunt the widespread international criticism that has followed a deadly Israeli commando raid on a blockade-busting flotilla.Senior Cabinet ministers were meeting to limit restrictions on what gets into Gaza — materials Israel says militants could use in their battle against the Jewish state — to a short list of goods, some of them desperately needed by Gaza civilians.But the Israeli naval blockade that was at the root of the deadly raid that prompted the international outcry will remain intact.It also wasn't clear whether key raw materials for industry would be permitted to enter again and whether Israel would end its ban on Gazan exports.The three-year-old embargo has shuttered hundreds of Gazan factories, put tens of thousands of people out of work and brought the territory's fragile economy to a standstill. Travel restrictions that confine most of Gaza's 1.5 million people to the territory are also likely to remain in effect.Israel, with Egypt's cooperation, has blockaded the Palestinian territory by land and sea ever since Hamas militants, with a violent anti-Israel agenda, seized control of Gaza in 2007.

For the most part, only basic humanitarian goods have been allowed in.Items such as cement and steel, badly needed to rebuild homes and businesses after Israel's war in the territory last year, have barely been allowed in. Israel says militants can use them to build weapons and military fortifications.Under the new guidelines, those materials will be allowed in to an undetermined extent in coordination with the United Nations, but won't be freely available to private citizens, Israeli officials said. Restrictions on things like school supplies, books, computers and toys are expected to be lifted.It would be nice for Gaza residents to be able to receive previously banned items such as paper, toys and computers, said Sari Bashi, an Israeli activist whose Gisha rights group has been fighting to open Gaza's borders. But Gaza residents need to be able to receive raw materials in order to engage in productive, dignified work.The blockade was designed to keep out weapons, turn Gazans against their militant Hamas rulers and pressure the Iranian-backed Hamas to free a captive Israeli soldier. It did not achieve those aims, however, and both weapons and goods sold at black market prices continued to flow into the territory through a large network of smuggling tunnels built under the Gaza-Egypt border.The blockade did not provoke an international outcry until Israeli commandos killed nine Turks two weeks ago in a raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla that sought to draw attention to the blockade's effects.

With pro-Palestinian activists promising to keep blockade-busting boats coming, Israel has been scrambling to find ways to ease the embargo and its own growing international isolation.Relaxing the restrictions on goods that go through Israeli-controlled land crossings is less complicated than easing the sea blockade. Israel is afraid that weapons ships will stream into Gaza if the naval blockade is lifted, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing that Israel would not allow the establishment of an Iranian port in Gaza.On Wednesday, a top Israeli security chief warned against lifting the sea blockade, saying that even international inspectors would not be able to keep Israel safe.The Haaretz newspaper on Wednesday quoted international envoy Tony Blair as hailing the expected vote by the Israeli ministers.

It will allow us to keep weapons and weapon materials out of Gaza, but on the other hand to help the Palestinian population there, Blair was quoted as saying. The policy in Gaza should be to isolate the extremists but to help the people.Blair represents the Quartet of Mideast negotiators — the U.S., European Union, U.N. and Russia.

Sharon, Just Before Disengagement Announcement: I Won't Uproot
by Hillel Fendel JUNE 16,10

Just one day after the publication of the official State Inquiry report documenting the government's failure in its treatment of the 9,000 Disengagement expellees, a recording of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon promising not to uproot any Jewish towns comes to light. Veteran Arutz-7 reporter Moshe Priel found the recording, which he said was made just two weeks before Sharon announced his Disengagement plan, in his personal collection. It occurred at a dedication ceremony in the Ramot neighborhood in Be'er Sheva.The recording begins with Priel approaching Sharon and asking him as follows: A British newspaper reported yesterday that if the terrorist attacks continue, you plan to respond with a very strong hand against the terrorists, and then to remove Jewish towns, especially in Gaza. What is your reaction? Sharon responded, Look, allow me to relate to the second part. I don’t intend to uproot any Jewish town, and therefore all those who circulate these rumors have no basis. As you see, I am here with the [Housing and] Construction Minister, the Deputy Construction Minister, the Director-General of [the] Construction [Ministry] – everything is construction, right? We’re not destroying, just building.

Just two weeks later, on December 18, 2003, Sharon appeared at the Herzliya Conference and said, If, in a few months, the Palestinians still continue to disregard their part in implementing the Road Map - then Israel will initiate the unilateral security step of disengagement from the Palestinians... The Disengagement Plan will include the redeployment of IDF forces along new security lines and a change in the deployment of settlements, which will reduce as much as possible the number of Israelis located in the heart of the Palestinian population.The recording, in Hebrew, can be heard here.Several months after the expulsion was carried out, Sharon suffered a massive stroke, and has been in a coma for over four years.

Canadian Legislator Faces Ouster over Anti-Israel Remarks
by Hana Levi Julian JUNE 16,10

Canadians are demanding the ouster of a parliamentarian who has denied the legitimacy of the State of Israel.The brouhaha started with a response by deputy leader Libby Davies of the New Democratic party to a question during a video interview at a rally in Vancouver earlier this month.Asked whether the occupation in Israel started in 48 or 67, Davies replied, 1948, the year Israel became a State. She also voiced support for an international campaign to persuade countries and businesses to divest, boycott or sanction Israel.Liberal MP Bob Rae, outraged, told The Canadian Press, The only conclusion you can draw from what she said is that there is no legitimacy to Israel's existence since 1948. Someone who would say such a thing and who would mouth these words and says these things should not have a serious political office in a major political party.Both Tories and Liberals have called for Davies' ouster, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who compared her with anti-Semitic Washington journalist Helen Thomas. The long-time reporter was forced to retire recently after leering into a rabbi's video camera and saying the Jews should leave Israel and go back to Poland or Germany.Days after the interview and the fallout became clear, Davies posted an apology on her website, calling her response a serious and completely inadvertent error.But her party leader, Jack Layton, is not nearly as repentant, and has dismissed suggestions that the MP should be reprimanded for the faux pas.

Jordan's King Bashes Israel for Stopping His Nuke Plans
by Malkah Fleisher JUNE 15,10

In a tone bespeaking souring relations between Israel and its eastern neighbor, King Abdullah of Jordan is accusing Israel of thwarting Jordanian nuclear aspirations in order to economically dwarf the Hashemite Kingdom.In a biting interview with the Wall Street Journal, King Abdullah called Israel underhanded in efforts he says Israel is undertaking to ensure that nations will not supply Jordan with nuclear-related technology.According to Abdullah, Israel has pressured France and South Korea not to sell nuclear technology such as generating reactors to Jordan, which says it is developing nuclear power for peaceful means.Israel has denied Abdullah's accusation.The United States has expressed support for Jordan's nuclear objectives, but disapproves of Jordan producing its own nuclear fuel. In 2007, Jordan discovered over 65,000 tons of uranium ore in the desert outside Amman, a significant find for a country 95% dependent on foreign oil and possessing paltry drinking water reserves. Even if it were to purchase reactor fuel elsewhere, Jordan would make major economic gains by producing and exporting nuclear energy.However, the US and Israel maintain concerns over Jordanian atomic development. Israel has publicly expressed concern over Jordanian plans to build a research nuclear reactor in the port city of Aqaba. A seismic fault line lies nearby.

In the meantime, Abdullah has purchased a research reactor for one of Jordan's universities. He has also ordered his foreign minister to issue a formal reprimand to Israel's ambassador to Jordan in regard to Israel's alleged obstruction of Jordan's nuclear program.Abdullah chose to focus on his belief that Israel's opposition to Jordanian nuclear power is a bid to keep his country down.There are countries, Israel in particular, that are more worried about us being economically independent than the issue of nuclear energy, and have been voicing their concerns, King Abdullah told the Wall Street Journal. There are many such reactors in the world and a lot more coming, so [the Israelis should] go mind their own business.

Exclusive: The Lowdown on The Vatican Talks
by Hana Levi Julian JUNE 15,10

Israel National News has learned that the Last Supper Room is off the negotiating table, at least for now, in talks between Israel and the Vatican orchestrated by Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon.It's been a good day for Israeli sovereignty, according to a source in Israel's Foreign Ministry who responded Tuesday night to an Israel National News report earlier in the day. The source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information involved, said the negotiations have focused on three areas: the issue of sovereignty over some 21 properties, taxation, and land expropriation. We [ultimately] agreed to maintain the status quo in many areas,he said.

One of the most difficult points of contention between Israel and the Vatican is the question of who controls the Last Supper Room. The room is said to mark the burial site of Kings Solomon and Hezekiah, and is also located in the same structure that houses the tomb of King David. Further complicating the matter is the fact that the building is known as the oldest Catholic church in the world, and has also served as a synagogue and as a mosque -- in fact, Muslim inscriptions can still be seen on its walls. To simplify matters, the Last Supper Room was taken out of the agreement.We basically reached the principle that it will not be part of this agreement, the source said.We have wanted the status quo, and they have wanted sovereignty,since negotiations began 11 years ago.At this point, it will not be discussed as part of this agreement, which is progress.Progress was also apparently made on the issue of Israel's right to expropriate land when necessary, albeit not without some caveats. The status quo was maintained on most of the 21 disputed properties in the Land of Israel, but there were six outstanding exceptions in which Israel has allegedly agreed not to confiscate land unless there is an extreme need: the Mount of Beatitudes, Tabha, Capernaum, the Church of the Annunciation, Mt. Tabor and the Garden of Gethsemane. Obviously if there is a security situation, the State of Israel can expropriate, as is the sovereign right of any nation,the source said. After 11 years, that's real progress,he said.On the issue of taxation, it was agreed that the Catholic Church would begin to pay taxes on those properties that are not specifically used for religious purposes, and that the Vatican will now be treated like all other religious bodies.In practice, this means that the state will continue to exempt religious properties such as churches and monasteries from being taxed – but it is a significant step in that it now requires the Church to pay taxes on its myriad other properties. This may prove to be a major windfall for the government, because up to now the Vatican has never paid taxes on any of its properties in Israel. All in all, it's been a good day for Israel's sovereignty,the source noted.We made some progress.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Ahmadinejad: Iran has conditions for talks with EU
JUNE 16,10

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's president says Tehran supports a dialogue with the outside world but that world powers must first be punished for the latest round of U.N. sanctions imposed on Iran.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says these are conditions for Iran to sit and talk with those behind the new punitive U.N. measures.His remarks come after EU's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, this week invited Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili to discuss the nuclear issue.Ahmadinejad spoke on Wednesday in the town of Shahr-e-Kord in central Iran.The U.N. Security Council last week passed a fourth set of sanctions to curtail Iran's nuclear program over fears it is to develop weapons. Iran denies the charge.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's parliament speaker says lawmakers are backing the government's push to move ahead with the country's nuclear program.The remarks by Ali Larijani come in defiance of the latest U.N. sanctions imposed over Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment — a process that can be used to make nuclear fuel for power plants or lead to nuclear arms production.Larijani says Iran must not back down from producing uranium enriched to a higher, 20 percent level.He says it's needed after a deal fell through to exchange Iran's low-level uranium for 20-percent enriched one in the form of fuel rods from abroad, for use in a Tehran research reactor.Larijani spoke at an open session of the parliament on Wednesday.Tehran denies it's seeking to make nuclear weapons.

NKorea warns UN to handle ship sinking impartially By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 16,10

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea urged the U.N. Security Council to impartially handle the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship blamed on the secretive state, warning Wednesday ongoing tension over the incident could trigger nuclear war.The threat came hours after the country's U.N. ambassador told reporters at a rare news conference in New York that its military will respond if the world body questions or condemns North Korea over the sinking. Sin Son Ho repeated his regime's position that it had nothing to do with the sinking that killed 46 South Korean sailors.The U.N. Security Council must fulfill its responsibilities by bringing to light the truth of the incident impartially and objectively, the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary Wednesday.The paper said tension is running so high on the peninsula that any accidental incident could trigger an all-out conflict, even a nuclear war.Indeed, a very dangerous situation — in which a minor accidental incident could trigger an all-out war and develop into a nuclear war — is fostered on the Korean peninsula now,said the commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.North Korea, which is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for at least a half-dozen nuclear weapons, has made similar threats in the past to wield its atomic arsenal in times of tension with the outside world. Experts are doubtful, however, if the country has the means to use a nuclear weapon in battle.South Korea has taken punitive measures against North Korea, including trade restrictions, after blaming it for torpedoing the warship Cheonan near their tense sea border on March 26. The North reacted angrily, declaring it was cutting off ties with Seoul and threatening to attack.

South Korea's military dismissed North Korea's nuclear warning as routine rhetoric but said it was closely watching the North Korean military.We're maintaining our vigilance against any North Korean provocation, said an officer at the Joint Chiefs of Staff on condition of anonymity citing department policy. There have been no signs of unusual activity by the North's military in border areas, he added.When asked during Tuesday's news conference if his country would rule out the use of nuclear weapons in response to any Security Council action, Sin said: Nuclear weapons is our deterrent because we are always threatened by outside forces.If the Security Council release any documents against us condemning or questioning us in any document, then myself as (a) diplomat, I can do nothing — but follow-up measures will be carried out by our military forces, he warned.In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in response to Sin's comments that, We're looking for North Korea to change its unacceptable behavior, to cease belligerent actions.Separately, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell was to visit South Korea later Wednesday for a two-day trip aimed at discussing the sinking and other pending issues, according to Seoul's Foreign Ministry.Also, about 200 conservative activists rallied in Seoul on Wednesday, criticizing a liberal-leaning civic group for sending U.N. Security Council members e-mails raising questions about the investigation results on the sinking that South Korea reached with U.S., British and other foreign experts.Go to North Korea! the activists chanted, engaging in minor scuffles with police trying to stop them from approaching the office of People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy. Officials at the civic group could not immediately be reached for comment on the rally.North and South Korea made separate presentations to the U.N. body Monday over Seoul's request to punish Pyongyang over the sinking.The council said in a statement after the Monday presentations it is concerned the ship sinking could endanger peace on the Korean peninsula, and it urged Seoul and Pyongyang to refrain from any provocative acts.The two Koreas are still technically at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. The sinking occurred near the disputed western sea border — a scene of three bloody maritime battles.

BP shares fluctuate ahead of White House meeting By ROBERT BARR, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 16,10

LONDON – Shares in BP PLC fluctuated in London trading Wednesday ahead of what promises to be a tense meeting between the oil company's chairman and U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington.Obama has vowed to make BP pay for all of the damage caused by its leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico, and has demanded that the company set up an independently controlled fund to assure that it will pay.I will meet with the chairman of BP and inform him that he is to set aside whatever resources are required to compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of his company's recklessness, Obama said in an address from the White House on Tuesday.That idea has been kicking around for a while, and Obama's statement didn't rattle the markets.BP shares initially fell 0.6 percent as the London Stock Exchange opened Wednesday, but recovered to rise about 1.5 percent to around 345 pence in the first hour of trading. Shares had traded at about 655 pence before the April 20 explosion which killed 11 workers on the drilling rig.Obama has invited BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, who has kept a very low profile since the leak erupted eight weeks ago, to the White House meeting.BP said Wednesday that Group Chief Executive Tony Hayward, BP America President Lamar McKay and Managing Director Robert Dudley would accompany Svanberg.The company had said Tuesday that it shares Obama's goal of shutting off the well as quickly as possible, cleaning up the oil and mitigating the impact on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. We look forward to meeting with President Obama tomorrow for a constructive discussion about how to best achieve these mutual goals.

Obama has come under pressure for his response to the crisis.An Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday found 52 percent of those surveyed don't approve of Obama's handling of the spill, but 83 percent disapprove of BP's performance.BP said Tuesday it had approved initial payments on 90 percent of commercial large loss claims filed so far. The 337 checks totaled $16 million for businesses that had filed claims of more than $5,000, BP said.The company added that it has issued approximately 25,000 checks totaling $63 million to cover small and large claims, and expects the total to rise to $85 million by the end of the week.BP, which earned a profit of $6.1 billion in the first three months of this year, says it has spent in excess of $1.4 billion so far in attempts to stop the flow of oil billowing up from the seabed.On June 3, the company announced it had set up a $360 million escrow account to pay for the construction of six sections of Louisiana barrier islands approved by the U.S. government.

MEPs threaten second veto on EU-US bank data deal
VALENTINA POP Today JUNE 16,10 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals in the European Parliament on Tuesday (15 June) expressed their dissatisfaction at the newly negotiated EU-US bank data transfer deal for combating terrorism, threatening to veto it again after having rejected an earlier version in February.We regret that the European Commission seems to have already closed the negotiations on a draft agreement that is far from being approvable, Martin Schulz, the leader of the Socialist group said in a press statement. Earlier that day, the EU executive gave the green light to a draft agreement with the US negotiated by home affairs chief Cecilia Malmstrom. The text still needs approval of member states and the consent of the European Parliament.The deal is a positive step and incorporates important changes to accommodate the concerns raised earlier by the European Parliament, the American ambassador to the EU, William E. Kennard, said in a press statement.MEPs who spearheaded the rejection of the previous deal in February have again voiced serious criticism of the agreement however, to the dismay of EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso. During his monthly question time in the Strasbourg plenary, he reminded deputies of the importance of the transatlantic relationship and suggested it is important to send a positive signal to Washington.The crux of the dispute is the issue of bulk data, which MEPs want to see filtered on EU soil, instead of sending it in bulk form to the US for processing. Justice commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom explained on several occasions that the company facilitating international bank transactions, Swift, does not have the technical capability to filter out single transactions between individuals or organisations suspected of funding terrorism. This is done in Washington's Treasury Department, as part of the Terrorism Funding Tracking Programme,which was put in place in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. In 2006, Europeans were aghast to discover that Swift had a mirror data base on US soil, which was accessed by American investigators. Some 60 percent of all international transactions originate in Europe.Following the scandal, the Belgium-based company decided to reconfigure its database so that European transactions were no longer mirrored in the US. The change occurred on 1 January, with Washington saying that both the US and Europe have had a security gap ever since, since the tracking program has in the past produced valuable leads on terrorist activity.The new bilateral agreement makes room for several EU and independent auditors, while the US says that the bulk data is encrypted and can only be accessed in a specifically targeted search for a certain name, which is already part of an anti-terrorism investigation. No mining or random scrolling through the various transactions is allowed.They won't be able to see what Cecilia has been transferring lately,Ms Malmstrom stressed in a press conference.

MEPs from the Liberal and Green camps are unimpressed, however. The US has the capacity to filter, so it can be done. We need to get the technology and do it here in the EU,Dutch Liberal MEP Sophie in 't Veld told EUobserver. In her view, the problem lies more with member states, which are not willing to deal with the problem themselves and prefer outsourcing the security work to the US on the principle you have the needle, we give you the haystack.The provision of involving the EU's police agency, Europol, in the process of authorising data requests from the US – a novelty compared to the interim deal rejected in February – is very deceptive, Ms in't Veld said.Instead of having Europol carry out the searches itself and transfer only the terrorist leads to the US investigators, she argued, its role would a mere rubber-stamping one – to look at the compliance of US requests with the agreement, not at the actual data.The Socilaists' Mr Schulz also said his group has serious concerns on the involvement of Europol.Ms Malmstrom speaking in parliament defended the involvement of Europol as the only legal solution for responding to data requests from the US in an EU framework.From the perspective of Germany's Green MEP Jan Philipp-Albrecht, the message is clear: The European Commission risks another rejection in the European Parliament ... Bulk data about completely unsuspicious persons will still be transferred to US authorities and stored there for five years. This is in breach not only of the binding EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, but also of recent rulings by the German Constitutional Court.The centre-right European People's Party, which in February voted in favour of the deal, may still gather enough votes to push the agreement through. But some fine-tuning in the Council of Ministers may be required to get the necessary majority on board.

Tough times push three more outside EU budget rules
ANDREW WILLIS 15.06.2010 @ 18:13 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU's economic malaise has forced a further three states to breach the bloc's budgetary limitations, just days before EU leaders are to meet in Brussels to discuss ways to overhaul the tattered rulebook.Speaking from Strasbourg on Tuesday (15 June), European economy commissioner Olli Rehn announced that Cyprus, Denmark and his home country, Finland, are to join the growing pack of excessive deficit countries, as defined by the EU's Stability and Growth Pact.The entry into the excessive deficit procedure of these countries, which until recently had surpluses, shows the severity of the economic and financial crisis we have gone through, said Mr Rehn. With even the formerly fiscally virtuous exceeding the EU's deficit and debt limits, three and 60 percent of GDP, respectively, the number of states still in compliance can now be counted on one hand. Estonia, Luxembourg and Sweden are still considered to be budgetary angels by the commission, with Bulgaria technically still in compliance, but likely to be put into the excessive deficit procedure once we can examine their data, said Mr Rehn. Earlier this month, the EU executive body signaled that it plans to send a team of number crunchers to Sofia to scrutinise the country's budgetary data due to doubts over its veracity. The commission recommends that member states set a deadline of 2011 for Finland to correct its budgetary position, 2012 for Cyprus and 2013 for Denmark - the timetable procedure being the main thrust of the excessive deficit procedure, which has never resulted in any member state getting a fine.

Progress by other states

The 12 EU states for whom timetables have already been set had their progress assessed, with Portugal and Spain uppermost in the minds of investors.Both states have recently outlined additional measures in response to growing pressure from markets to decrease their budgetary deficits.All capitals, including the southern two, were told actions to date were in accordance with the commission's previous recommendations, while further details on specific measures to reach deficit targets for 2011 were requested.

Slovakia may hold up eurozone rescue fund
RENATA GOLDIROVA Today JUNE 16,10 @ 10:08 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The emerging new leadership in Slovakia has said the country will not contribute its share of the €110 billion rescue package for Greece. In addition, Bratislava is likely not to add its signature to the €750 billion eurozone support mechanism - something that could put the entire project on ice. Sources say that by Wednesday (16 June), all countries sharing the single currency are expected to have signed the so-called Framework Agreement on the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), a legal instrument agreed by finance ministers earlier this month following the risk of Greece's debt crisis spreading to other weak economies. It would be a serious blow to the EFSF and the euro area's ability to stand behind its members [if a member does not sign],a senior eurozone official told this website. He explained that all 16 signatures on the document - which specifies provisions on how to issue loan guarantees if necessary - are required to bring the emergency mechanism to life.The cabinet of outgoing social democratic Prime Minister Robert Fico, who will not return to power after last weekend's elections, has decided to leave the sensitive issue to his successor after EU bail-out plans featured prominently in the campaign.Conservative politician Iveta Radicova, the likely next prime minister, described the bloc's €750 billion rescue fund during the pre-election debates as bad, dangerous and [the] worst possible solution.Slovakia is expected to contribute some €816 million over the next three years as its share of the euro bail-out scheme - a figure reportedly amounting to the annual budget of the country's interior ministry.

On Tuesday (15 June), Ms Radicova also re-iterated that she is against Slovakia providing any financial support to Greece.In a situation when we must deal with floods, [when] we do not have enough resources and the use of European funds is insufficient ... we will primarily channel resources to solving flood consequences, and that is how I will present it during talks in Brussels,she told press, shortly after four centre-right parties signed a declaration on political co-operation that should result in a new government.Previously, the newest eurozone member state had been content to sign the so-called inter-creditor agreement that paved the way for Greece to receive the first tranche of the loan - €80 billion from the euro area and €30 billion from the International Monetary Fund.The deal still needs the approval of the Slovak parliament, however.

Scientists develop tech to track carbon dioxide By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN, Associated Press Writer – Mon Jun 14, 2:20 pm ET

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Scientists have developed a method for detecting and tracking carbon dioxide deep underground, giving the federal government an important tool as people look for ways to keep carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from crowding the atmosphere.Scientists working with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory used colorless, nontoxic liquids called perflourocarbon tracers to essentially fingerprint carbon dioxide that was injected into a coal seam in northwestern New Mexico.They followed the carbon dioxide's movement by tracking the tracers.Using the tracers would help eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding carbon capture and sequestration, said Brian Strazisar, a physical scientist at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh.There is going to be some sort of requirement that we verify that the carbon dioxide is going where we expect it to and that it's not going back into the atmosphere or into geologic zones that weren't intended. The tracers help with that, he said.With about one-third of the United States' carbon emissions coming from power plants and other large polluters, scientists have been looking at underground fissures, caverns and coal beds as places where those emissions can be stored to reduce a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.It's those gases that are being blamed for global warming. The Obama administration established a task force on carbon capture and sequestration and has pledged $4 billion for related research, the goal being to get CCS technology widely deployed within 10 years.At Pump Canyon near Aztec, N.M., scientists injected about 18,400 tons of carbon dioxide along with the tracers into a coal layer about 3,000 feet below the surface.

Special units set up at three nearby coal bed methane production wells and in shallow bore holes throughout the area monitored for the tracers and the injected CO2. The project lasted about a year.The technology can measure concentrations as small as parts-per-quadrillion. It can also tell the difference between injected carbon dioxide and CO2 that is naturally produced.A handful of Western states have started developing laws to regulate the so-called pore space beneath the ground where CO2 can be stored.But in the New Mexico Legislature this year, critics were concerned about unknowns surrounding carbon capture and storage, related property rights and potential effects on water and oil and natural gas development. They had questions about who would be liable if injected CO2 contaminated an aquifer or mixed with oil or gas, and what would happen if it found its way back to the surface.The tracer technology can address some of those questions better than other geophysical tools like seismic imaging, said Brian McPherson, a University of Utah professor who was involved in the Pump Canyon project.The tracers are a direct observation. They're less subjective and less interpretive,he said.We can actually forecast how much a tracer is going to go where and then measure it and watch for it. They will help nail down the uncertainty.Sean McCoy, manager of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Regulatory Project at Carnegie Mellon University, wasn't involved in the study but said it appears from the findings that the tracer technology will improve scientists' ability to characterize places where they're thinking of storing CO2 over long periods of time.There's great potential, and in the real world, we're definitely going to see carbon capture and sequestration happening. But I think there's going to need to be a concerted push to remove some of the obstacles that are out there right now to get this technology rolled out on a large scale,McCoy said.He pointed to the cost, pore space ownership issues and liability.McPherson agreed, saying carbon capture and storage is a real possibility for limiting the greenhouse gas but not a silver bullet.

CO2 storage in the subsurface is just part of everything else that needs to be done, like increasing efficiency and developing better coal combustion technologies that produce less CO2. ... It can be done and these tests and positive results like these tracers are just more evidence that it's something that we should continue examining,he said.

Gulf oil spill and the political spillover in the Senate energy debate By the Monitor's Editorial Board – Fri Jun 11, 1:24 pm ET

At first, the Gulf oil spill was seen as a wake-up call for the United States to finally pass a climate-change law. The images of black goo washing up on beaches would be enough to persuade Americans to kick their fossil-fuel habit.Bu nearly two months after the BP spill began spewing petroleum, it hasn’t turned out that way.Key senators from states that rely heavily on jobs related to both offshore oil and coal continue to block bills that would push the US – the largest source of greenhouse gases per capita – toward doing its part to reverse global warming.Their election-year desire to maintain high-carbon industries during a period of high unemployment is trumping a longer-term need to create a low-carbon economy.This political shortsightedness by a few regions of the United States transcends the usual partisan politics of Washington. In fact, President Obama is now trying to find a compromise with a dozen or so Democratic senators from coal and oil states that could result in passage of almost any energy bill this summer.Such a measure would add to Mr. Obama’s health-care law and the likely passage of financial reform. It would also give him a victory after criticism of his handling of the Gulf oil spill. Most of all, the White House wants some sort of reform in US energy before a possible conservative swing in Congress after this fall’s elections.

What sort of compromises should Obama accept in an energy bill? His choices have only gotten worse. The House passed a climate-change measure last year that set high targets for carbon reduction. But then recently in the Senate, a weaker measure was introduced by John Kerry (D) and Joe Lieberman (I). After that, GOP Sen. Richard Lugar proposed a bill with no carbon targets but only incentives for energy conservation and for coal plants to close by 2018.The White House and Senate majority leader Harry Reid are now trying to pick parts of each measure for a smorgasbord bill that could win the necessary 60 votes for passage.This half-a-loaf political approach may possibly create momentum for stronger action in the future. But it hardly comes close to the huge task of drastic reductions in carbon emissions. It also doesn’t set much of an example for other big polluting nations such as China and India to do their part.A broad consensus already exists on many steps toward better energy use, such as expanding the use of electric cars and investments in renewable energy technologies. But at the least, Obama should insist that the use of oil and coal becomes more expensive in coming years. That could be done through a tax, a cap on polluting industries, or by an assortment of federal incentives.Businesses, as well as most Americans, are uncertain about the country’s energy future. If anything, the Gulf oil spill – an unexpected and tragic event – only reinforces a fear of this uncertainty.It is up to Obama to restore some certainty and help reduce those public fears. He can show better leadership by seeking the strongest energy bill possible.His attempt to display more control over the oil spill should go hand in hand with more political arm-twisting in the Senate.

Obama, shredding the good guys, adoring and promoting the bad
By Laurie roth JUNE 15,10

Where do I begin? So much slaughter…..so little time. Obama has betrayed our allies and violated our national security throughout his first two years. Firstly, he built the perfect environment for international mocking and challenge against America by continuing to apologize for us and our decisions overseas and at home. His pathetic misrepresentations, all but spoon fed the enemies of America with power and hope. Islamic radicals must adore him. He plays right into their hands. Gee, it makes you wonder if he is reading the Koran instead of the Holy Bible. HmmmmmmAs Obama has been destroying our reputation and winning I’m sorry contests around the world, he made sure he has aligned himself with thugs, tyrants, and communists and anti American radicals. His list of radical,Rules for Radicals czars reflect this perfectly. He hasn’t even been shy or hidden about befriending Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and the Castro brothers. Other friends seem to be Amidinajad in Iran, who he says has the right to go nuclear, Hamas leadership, who he gave 900,000,000 to, and Manual Zelaya, who he demanded must be put back in leadership in Honduras, even though he was an obvious crook and sham.

More confusion with the good and bad

Obama and Nepolitano were quick to not only minimize and rename the war on terror to overseas contingency operations(a completely meaningless name) but to redefine the real and growing terror as American citizens. We all know by now the famous Homeland security report that accidentally made its way to the public identifying pro lifers, advocates for second amendment rights, sovereignty and returning Vets as potential domestic terrorists. Naturally, that word terrorist isn’t supposed to be used for Islamics we are at war with but easily can attach to you and I, law abiding, U.S. citizens.The rant against our own has continued mightily with Obama not only turning publicly on Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, when she signed SB 1070 into law, but making sure much of the corrupt and meddling world was involved with the witch hunt and slander against a Governor and state he represents.Obama invited Mexico’s president, Felipe Calderon to the white house. We all remember how Calderon and Obama stood on the White House lawn and by a Joint Session of Congress to mock and shred Jan Brewer and Arizona for this absurd and racist law.His other friends from hell, Chavez, Ortega and the lovely Castro brothers chimed in to viciously criticize the law as well.Obama even apologized to China for the Arizona law.

Other compromises and confusion

Obama violated our national security by signing an absurd nuclear treaty with Russia. Obama called said he hoped it would stop the drift and was just one step on a longer journey. The bottom line is that he committed that the U.S. would not develop more weapons, downsize and refuse to respond in kind if attacked with a WMD.No one in America wants a Nuclear war or disaster but we have had some comfort with real and aggressive evil in the world that we can use these weapons if we had to as we did in WW11 with Japan. It was ugly then. It was tragic BUT IT WAS A MUST. JAPAN WOULD STOP AT NOTHING, SO AFTER WARNING THEIR CITIES, TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE WITH ENDLESS FLYERS WE DROPPED THE BOMBS. IT STOPPED THE WAR AND MASSIVE KILLINGS OF AMERICANS.With a President who calls our ongoing war with Islamic fundamentalists an overseas contingency operation is it any wonder he plans to shred our nuclear arsenal and ability to respond if need be? Could it be our President is dyslexic, where everything is back to front? Sadly, I don’t think it is a mental problem but instead a big government, fascist, controlling view of his power and agenda. He must create fans and enemies to destroy to stay in power.Your time is almost up in the White House Obama. The mid terms are coming for starters. The masses have awakened and unlike you, most of us remember the difference between right and wrong, American interests and foreign meddling and good and evil.

Economic governance By Honor Mahony JUNE 11,10

There is a certain lack of clarity at the moment about what is meant by EU economic governance.Or to be more precise, everyone seems to know what France’s Nicolas Sarkozy would like. And it is relatively clear what Germany does not want. Beyond that, the lines remain unclear even though the phrase is bandied about freely.In brief, Paris has indicated it would like regular summits of eurozone countries, plus some permanent structures including a secretariat. A more politicised running of the 16 countries with the single currency.Berlin, mindful of the ECB’s independence, would rather keep all 27 member states involved. But an equally pressing concern is to ensure that the Greek situation is never allowed to happen again.This entails revising the euro rules to include greater prevention measures, surveillance and sanctions.So is this the basis of a forthcoming Franco-German compromise? The one in return for the other. Some seem to think so.Casting a somewhat jaded eye over the putative economic governance landscape, one veteran EU diplomat noted:My prediction would be that somewhere down the line, there is going to be one of these grand Franco-German compromises, in which you probably get agreement on tougher sanctions and agreement on new permanent structures and a declaration that France and Germany together have saved Europe.

Whatever about exactly what Chancellor Angela Merkel wants, practicalities may play into Sarkozy’s hand.The last eurozone summit, on Friday 7 May, was by all accounts a rather chaotic affair. The leaders were unprepared and met late into the night. Policy and decisions – including to tell finance ministers to sign off what by Sunday had become the massive 750 billion euro EU-IMF aid mechanism – were made on an ad hoc basis.After the meeting there was much muttering about how it was not the right way to be dealing with affairs of this scale. And making the relatively safe assumption the need for eurozone leader meetings will continue, a solution a la sarkozy could see a secretariat that would prepare policy papers and forecasts for such gatherings. This, presumably, would lend a more informed and less panicked atmosphere to the talks.But if such a Franco-German plan is in the offing – and both sides are keen to their economic governance view prevail – they will have to work a little on their PR.While some outside the single currency are worried about an economic governance elite (or eurozone council as Sarkozy is wont to have it) several eurozone member states are also reportedly getting irritated by eurozone policy being thrashed out by Paris and Berlin.Although to be fair, I am not sure where we would be if France and Germany were not taking some sort of initiative, even if late, reactive and quarreled over.

At least 42 dead in Bangladesh floods, landslide by Muazzem Shakil - JUNE 15,10

COX'S BAZAAR, Bangladesh (AFP) – At least 42 people have been killed by landslides and flash floods in southern Bangladesh and dozens more are missing, police and local officials said Tuesday.The country's flood warning centre said that most of the country's southeast had experienced heavy rainfall during the past 24 hours, with 24.2 centimetres (9.5 inches) falling in many areas.In the worst affected area of Teknaf -- which is on the border with Myanmar and home to tens of thousands of ethnic Rohingya refugees -- at least 25 people were killed and six missing, local official A.N.M Nazim Uddin told AFP.All the roads are under water. We can't reach areas where thousands of people are trapped by the floods, he said by phone.Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees living in makeshift camps on the hills around Teknaf have been affected by the floods,he added.At least 13 people, including six soldiers, have also died in the southern resort area of Cox's Bazaar, local police chief Nibhas Chandra Majhi told AFP.We could not start rescue efforts yet as landslides triggered by the rains have clogged up the main highways, he said, adding that rescue workers expected the death toll to rise.

And the rain is still pouring down.A further four people -- all members of the same family -- were killed by a landslide in the remote Ghumdhum area, in the Bandarban hill district, local police chief Kamrul Ahsan told AFP.Weather officials have forecast further rains in the areas due to a major depression in the neighbouring Bay of Bengal.Landslides triggered by heavy rains are common in Bangladesh's southeastern hill districts where thousands of poor people live on deforested hill slopes, ignoring government warnings about the risk of natural disasters.The country has more than 200 rivers and is prone to severe flooding. It is the world's most densely populated country with over 1,000 people per square kilometre, but also one of the poorest.Forty percent of the population live below the poverty line.In 2007, more than 130 people died when their shanties were swamped by one of the heaviest landslides in the country's history.

Okla. flooding leads to dramatic rescues By Tim Talley, Associated Press Writer – JUNE 15,10

OKLAHOMA CITY – Record-busting rainfall in Oklahoma led to a day of dramatic rescues from swift floodwaters, but officials and residents acknowledged the outcome could have been far worse.No one had to be hospitalized Monday, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. There was just one unconfirmed report of a death, in Lawton on Monday night. Stranded motorists climbed trees and waited for rescuers, including one crew whose boat sank and had to be saved themselves.We were lucky to get the people out of the high-water areas, said Oklahoma City Fire Department Battalion Chief Tommy Iago.The places we couldn't walk them out, we used boats.Fire officials in Oklahoma City and the nearby suburb of Edmond launched more than 60 swift-water rescues after a barrage of thunderstorms dumped as much as 10 inches of rain in some areas in a matter of hours. More rain fell Monday night, and the National Weather Service said the 7.62 inches at Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City topped the previous record of 7.53 inches set on Sept. 22, 1970.

Cynthia Banister said fire crews had to rescue a man clinging to a tree near her Edmond home after water topped his SUV.We're very thankful. Just think of what happened in Arkansas recently, Banister said, referring to flash flooding that killed 20 people at a campground.It could have been much worse.One boat carrying rescuers in Oklahoma City sank just as it reached a 17-year-old girl, forcing the firefighters to take to treetops and await help themselves.This is the first time I've encountered anything close to this, fire Lt. Joe Smith said. It didn't feel very good. I like to be in control of the action.The heaviest rainfall was reported across sections of northern Oklahoma City, forcing the closure of some roads and interstates. The torrential downpour sent creeks and rivers over their banks, and the raging currents ripped asphalt from roadways and blew manhole covers from pipes.

KSWO-TV in Lawton reported on its website that witnesses told police a taxi driver drowned Monday night while trying to push his car out of high water. Police and sheriff's department dispatchers would not confirm the death, and a spokesman for Comanche County — about 80 miles southwest of Oklahoma City — did not return a call.

Betty Diehl was house-sitting at her daughter's home in Oklahoma City when a river of water came down the road.The street was rolling, Diehl said.I watched it out the window. I said, You could take a boat out there.Diehl said her daughter's home, like others in the neighborhood, has suffered through several severe weather events in the last six months — a December blizzard, a May hailstorm and now flooding.We've had our share — from ice to hail and now to river, Diehl said. In spite of everything, she said, We were lucky.Fire crews braced for more problems Tuesday, with the forecast calling for more scattered showers.The ground is saturated enough, Iago said.Who knows how much more it can take.The National Weather Service issued a flood watch through 7 a.m. Tuesday for all but far northwest parts of Oklahoma.

System at sea could form first Atlantic tropical storm
Mon Jun 14, 2:24 pm ET

MIAMI (AFP) – A low-pressure area forming over the Atlantic could become the first tropical storm of the season, the National Hurricane Center warned Monday.There remains a high chance, 60 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours, the center said in a statement, as officials anxiously eye weather reports.A major storm could push oil-tainted water from the Gulf of Mexico spill further ashore or into new states, and bring more misery to earthquake-ravaged Haiti where hundreds of thousands still live in precarious conditions.If it becomes a named system, the storm will be dubbed Alex, the hurricane center said.Forecasters have predicted a rougher-than-average 2010 hurricane season.Last month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast an active to extremely active hurricane season, saying there could be 14 to 23 named storms, including eight to 14 hurricanes, three to seven of which were likely to be major storms, packing winds of at least 111 mph.This is compared to an average six-month season of 11 named storms, six of which become hurricanes, two of them major.If this outlook holds true, this season could be one of the more active on record, NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco said in May.The greater likelihood of storms brings an increased risk of a landfall. In short, we urge everyone to be prepared,she said.

Millions of gallons of oil from the leaking BP-operated well are sloshing around in the Gulf of Mexico, and are already contaminating southern US shorelines and ecologically sensitive marshlands.And in mountainous Haiti, where floodwaters often trigger mudslides and havoc, hundreds of thousands of people are still living in makeshift camps more than five months after the devastating January 12 quake.

5.7 quake rattles nerves in border region By ELLIOT SPAGAT, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 15,10

SAN DIEGO – The U.S.-Mexico border was rocked by a magnitude-5.7 earthquake Monday night, rattling nerves in a region still recovering from the deadly Easter jolt.The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered five miles southeast of Ocotillo in Imperial County — about 85 miles east of San Diego. It struck Monday at 9:26 p.m. PDT.The quake was an aftershock of the deadly Easter Sunday magnitude-7.2 quake that shook Baja California and Southern California, said Egill Hauksson, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He said the epicenter of Monday's quake occurred in the same zone of the quake in April.Aftershocks can go on for months and years, he said.Thousands of aftershocks have occurred since the Easter earthquake. More than 100 aftershocks were recorded immediately following Monday's 5.7 quake, with the largest measuring at magnitude-4.5.A 5.7-magnitude earthquake could break windows, it could throw things on the floor, it could create cracks on the wall, but we don't expect things to collapse,Hauksson said.San Diego County Office of Emergency Services had no reports of significant damage. Louis Fuentes, chairman of the Imperial County board of supervisors, also said he had no immediate reports of damage.As soon as it hit, my wife said, Grab the baby.My daughter ran out to the back yard, said Fuentes, who was in his garage in Calexico, about 30 miles east of the epicenter.It thumped really hard.Fuentes said his chandeliers swayed at his home and metal objects banged but nothing fell off the shelves. Imperial County suffered significant damage in April's Easter Sunday quake.

All the lamps, the liquor bottles and the TV hanging from the ceiling shook, but nothing dropped,said Marina Garcia, an employee at the Burgers and Beer restaurant in El Centro, about 30 miles east of Ocotillo.The quake was felt as a gentle rolling motion in the Los Angeles area.San Diego's Petco Park swayed during the quake, causing a momentary pause at the Toronto Blue Jays-San Diego Padres game. The public address announcer asked that everyone remain calm. The crowd cheered.David Eckstein of the Padres had just grounded out in the bottom of the inning when the stadium began shaking. The next batter, Chase Headley, stayed out of the batter's box for a few seconds, then stepped in.San Diego County sheriff's dispatch supervisor Becky Strahm said some of her colleagues reported things falling off their shelves, but there were no immediate reports of significant damage or injury.The quake followed a series of temblors that struck Southern California over the weekend, including a pair of moderate earthquakes that rattled a desert area east of San Diego. Residents in downtown San Diego felt the ground rumbling during at least one of the Saturday quakes.Associated Press Sports Writer Bernie Wilson in San Diego and Associated Press writers Alicia Chang, Daisy Nguyen and Denise Petski in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Oil nears $76 as investors eye US demand By NATALIYA VASILYEVA, AP Business Writer - JUNE 15,10

MOSCOW – Oil prices rose to near $76 a barrel Tuesday as investors' focus on an expected drop in U.S. oil supplies offset news of a Greek debt downgrade.Benchmark crude for July delivery jumped 81 cents to $75.93 a barrel late morning London time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.34 to settle at $75.12 on Monday.Oil prices have traded in a $70 to $80 range so far this month after dropping from $87 to $64 last month amid fears Europe's debt crisis could hurt global economic growth. On Monday, credit rating agency Moody's lowered its rating on Greece's debt to junk status.The negative impact of such news on the market is evidently fading, Commerzbank said in a note to investors. On the other hand, reports of this kind are likely to prevent a further rally of oil prices.Stock markets across Europe and Asia were mixed Tuesday morning in Europe and could provide little guidance for oil prices.Oil traders have instead taken heart in recent weeks from a fall in U.S. crude inventories, which suggests demand is improving.Analysts expect another drop of 1.8 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos., when the American Petroleum Institute announces its weekly supply data late Tuesday and the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration releases its report on Wednesday.Some analysts expect the growth in oil demand in developed countries to catch up with burgeoning consumption in developing countries and push prices higher.We expect prices to eventually move back above $80 supported by the strong growth momentum in demand,Barclays Capital said in a report.Despite price movements being at the mercy of macroeconomic jitters lately, $70 has emerged as a strong floor and with good reason.In other Nymex trading in July contracts, heating oil was up 0.19 cent to $2.0453 a gallon and gasoline added 0.1 cent to $2.0870 a gallon. Natural gas was up 3.7 cents at $5.043 per 1,000 cubic feet.Brent crude was up $1.10 to $76.04 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange.Associated Press Writer Alex Kennedy contributed to this report from Singapore.

SKorea: North raised readiness, no activity seen By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 15,10

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has raised its military readiness though no signs of fresh provocation were visible amid high tensions after the South blamed it for a deadly warship attack, the South's defense chief said Tuesday.The U.N. Security Council said late Monday it is gravely concerned the ship sinking could endanger peace on the peninsula and urged both Koreas to refrain from any provocative acts. A statement was issued after the council listened to separate presentations from each side, with Seoul seeking U.N. action to punish Pyongyang.Both Koreas have exchanged harsh rhetoric and bolstered their military readiness, but Seoul officials have said it is unlikely renewed tension would lead to all-out war.Now, North Korea is maintaining a considerably strengthened vigilance posture and as you know it's been issuing many threats and statements through various channels,South Korean Defense Minster Kim Tae-young told the National Assembly on Tuesday.But there have been no serious military activities at the border and in rear areas.South Korea has taken punitive measures against North Korea after the warship Cheonan was sunk by a torpedo attack in March, killing 46 sailors. North Korea flatly denies the allegation and has warned any retaliation would trigger war, with its military threatening Saturday to turn Seoul into a sea of flame.Kim said South Korea is closely watching North Korea's military because it may engage in provocative acts at anytime.At the U.N. Security Council meeting, South Korea made a 23-minute presentation and showed a video on the findings it reached with U.S., British and other foreign investigators.

North Korea repeated its stance that it had nothing to do with the sinking.We are just a victim,North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador Pak Tok Hun told reporters before heading into his closed-door meeting with the council.So we'd like to make our position clear here.U.N. diplomats familiar with contacts on possible council action said China, the North's closest ally, is opposed to a third round of sanctions against Pyongyang and indicated the more likely result will be a presidential statement. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because the contacts have been private.A presidential statement is considered a weaker form of rebuke than the imposition of sanctions.South Korean President Lee Myung-bak renewed calls Tuesday for international action to get North Korea to acknowledge and apologize for the ship sinking, according to the presidential office.The two Koreas are still technically at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. The sinking occurred near the tense Korean sea border — a scene of three bloody maritime battles.Associated Press Writer Edith M. Lederer contributed to this report from the United Nations.

SKorea holds civil defense drill amid tension By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 15,10

SEOUL, South Korea – Air raid sirens blared as hundreds of thousands of South Koreans donned gas masks Tuesday in a nationwide civil defense drill, as Seoul's defense chief said North Korea has bolstered its military readiness amid tensions over the sinking of a South Korean warship.Although both Koreas have exchanged harsh rhetoric and increased their military vigilance in recent weeks, Seoul officials have said it is unlikely renewed tension would lead to all-out war.The defense drill was the first on a nationwide scale for possible chemical, biological and radiological attacks since 1989, the National Emergency Management Agency said. It said the exercise was resumed in the aftermath of the ship sinking in March that South Korea blamed on North Korea.Now, North Korea is maintaining a considerably strengthened vigilance posture and as you know it's been issuing many threats and statements through various channels,South Korean Defense Minster Kim Tae-young told the National Assembly on Tuesday.But there have been no serious military activities at the border and in rear areas.The U.N.

EU stays quiet on Gaza flotilla enquiry
ANDREW RETTMAN Today JUNE 15,10 @ 09:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Diplomatic sources have said the EU plans to wait and see how Israel's enquiry into the Gaza flotilla killings is conducted before taking a firm stand on its legitimacy.There was no willingness to approve it or to explicitly disapprove it, an EU diplomat told this website following a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday (14 June). Since it was not possible to agree on a judgement, we can always reserve our position and see how it functions in practice. It's a similar situation to the Goldstone enquiry. In the beginning we had our reservations. But in the end it did a good job,the contact added, referring to a recent UN report which accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza in 2009.UK foreign minister William Hague called Israel's proposal a step forward.French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner said only that it should be conducted by experienced men.

I still want to look at the detail of how the enquiry is going to be undertaken,EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton said after the Luxembourg meeting.Will it come up with a credible response which will enable us to see what happened that day?
Israel late on Sunday said it will hold an internal probe into its attack on the Mavi Marmara ship on 31 May, which saw commandos shoot dead nine Turkish citizens, some at point blank range.The UN's envoy to the Middle East, former UK leader Tony Blair, negotiated the participation of David Trimble, an Israeli-friendly Northern Ireland politician, as an observer in the investigation. A Canadian jurist, himself implicated in a cover-up of torture in Afghan jails, is to be a second observer.
Turkey and the Palestinian Authority have already rejected the probe. We have no trust at all that Israel ...will conduct an impartial investigation,Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.It cannot be considered impartial or independent, Leila Shahid, the Palestinian Authority's envoy to the EU, told EUobserver.The UN security council has requested an international enquiry with Israeli participation.

Ms Shahid added that the timing of Israel's announcement, on the eve of the Luxembourg meeting, was designed to put the EU on the back foot by not giving ministers enough time to formulate a response. But EU contacts rejected the theory, saying Israel is more interested in US backing than any EU endorsement.On the underlying subject of getting aid into Gaza, Mr Blair, who attended the Luxembourg event, predicted that Israel will in the next few days agree in principle to drop its list of just 116 types of items which are allowed into the strip and move instead to a blacklist of forbidden goods.The EU is keen for Israel to re-open all crossings into Gaza - including access points such as the Kerem Shalom Gaza-Israel crossing, which is equipped to handle large scale imports and exports - under the control of EU monitors. Ministers on Monday decided to leave the details of the crossing point initiative until their next gathering in July amid ongoing negotiations with Israel, however.It all depends how much the Israelis are willing to give and we haven't had any positive signals from them yet. You can wish for the moon, but if the Israeli side doesn't agree, you won't get it,the EU diplomatic source said.

EU and US seal agreement on bank data transfers
VALENTINA POP Today JUNE 15,10 @ 07:06 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The EU commission has finalised a draft agreement on transferring European banking data to the US as part of anti-terrorist investigations. Home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom is today (15 June) set to present the draft agreement in Strasbourg, after gaining approval of the other commissioners. The text, which has been published by StateWatch, a civil liberties watchdog, will be then forwarded to the Council of ministers and the European Parliament for its consent.An earlier interim deal was rejected in February by the EU legislature, due to data privacy concerns and inter-institutional power struggling. It strained EU-US relations but put the Parliament's newly acquired powers centre-stage.This time around, the Swedish commissioner believes the provisions have been significantly altered and will gather the support of euro-deputies. They may approve the agreement in July.As outlined last week by Ms Malmstrom in anticipation of the final deal, the text says that all data sent to the US has to be based on an anti-terrorist investigation and that no random scanning, profiling or data mining will be allowed.The transferred data will include a whole range of personal information on the initiator and recipient of a transaction, such as name, address and national identification number.

The agreement provides the right of rectification, erasure and blocking of wrong data, along with administrative and judicial redress. The latter has been a constant sticking point for MEPs.Several layers of independent auditors are set to scrutinise the respect of all data privacy provisions. Similar reports by an EU-appointed auditor last year failed to convince MEPs, however.As was the case in the past, the US pledges to send any leads on terrorism finance to police authorities in the member states concerned, as well as the bloc's police agency Europol and the justice co-operation body Eurojust.A novelty of the draft agreement is the provision that Europol will verify all data requests from the US department of treasury – the entity where the Terrorism Finance Tracking Programme is based. It was set up in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks and seriously strained transatlantic relations in 2006 when it emerged that it was tapping a secret US-based database of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (Swift), the main company facilitating and keeping track of international transactions.Following the scandal, the Belgium-based company decided to reconfigure its database structure so that European transactions were no longer mirrored in the US. The change occurred on 1 January, which justified the rush to vote in an interim agreement in February, so as to avoid a security gap.

Merkel: Spain can access aid if needed-ANDREW WILLIS
Today JUNE 15,10 @ 09:27 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said eurozone states including Spain are free to call on the bloc's rescue fund whenever needed.Speaking after a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Berlin on Monday evening (14 June), during which French plans for a eurozone economic government appear to have been dropped, the German leader refused to comment on whether a Spanish bail-out application was imminent, however. If there should be problems, and we shouldn't talk them up, the mechanism can be activated at any time,Ms Merkel said.Spain and any other country knows that they can make use of this mechanism if necessary.

Several leading German newspapers have recently suggested that EU and member state officials are quietly preparing to release funds to Madrid from the euro area's €750 billion rescue mechanism that was agreed last month. Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso, together with a string of national politicians, strongly denied this was the case on Monday. Spain's economy is currently suffering from a struggling banking sector, an imploded property market, a ballooning budget deficit (currently at around 11.2 percent of GDP) and 20 percent unemployment, rising to 40 percent among young people. Unions have indicated they will hold a general strike in September as the Socialist government prepares to push ahead with a package of public spending cuts and labour market reforms, designed to contain the deficit and kickstart the economy. Several economists have pointed to Spain's rigid labour laws as dissuading companies from making investments.The moves have seen an end to six years of union support for Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, with syndicate leaders on Monday reiterating their concerns over planned changes that will make it easier to hire and fire workers. The country's banks are also suffering from a severe credit squeeze, a point noted by Spanish treasury secretary Carlos Ocana. Obviously we do need for the markets to loosen, Mr Ocana said on Monday, in one of the first government public recognitions of the problem. Burdened with millions of euros worth of bad loans after the country's property bubble burst in 2008, Spanish banks have increasingly struggled to borrow on the inter-bank lending market, an important source of short-term liquidity. As a result the European Central Bank has been forced to make record loans to the country's financial institutions, as other borrowing sources dry up.

Eurozone economic government

The meeting between Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy also saw the French leader drop recent requests for regular meetings of eurozone leaders and the creation of a new secretariat designed to underpin the initiative.The change of heart amounts to something of a victory for Ms Merkel, who has previously indicated her preference for economic decision-taking by all 27 EU states instead of the 16 euro area countries alone. Mr Sarkozy also said he now supports Germany's proposal for a suspension of voting rights of EU members which are in serious breach of the bloc's budgetary rules. Like Madame Merkel, I am convinced that the solution to Europe's problems does not lie in the creation of new institutions,he told the Berlin news conference, adding that eurozone leaders would still hold operational, pragmatic, rapid meetings if the need arose.Poland recently indicated it was opposed to the idea of regular eurozone leaders' meetings, fearing that it could relegate non-eurozone states to a second league in a divided EU. Spain and Italy had supported the French proposal. France came up with the term economic government,and I embraced it gladly,Ms Merkel told journalists.But in order to say, yes please, with all 27, so that we have no split in the common market.

EU to ban investments in Iranian gas and oil
VALENTINA POP Today JUNE 15,10 @ 09:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg on Monday (14 June) agreed on a fresh batch of sanctions against Iran aimed at halting its nuclear program, with the new measures to target the country's massive oil and gas industry.

The new sanctions are pending the approval of EU leaders meeting on Thursday in Brussels during a mainly EU economy-oriented summit.They come as accompanying and supporting measures to the United Nations' sanctions agreed last week in New York, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a press conference. Ms Ashton added that the door for dialogue remains open and that has she written to Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, inviting him to resume negotiations on behalf of Germany and the five UN Security Council permanent members - the United States Russia, China, Britain, France.I stand ready to meet with the Iranians if they are willing to discuss the key issue, the nuclear issue, she said after Monday's meeting.

Under the envisaged deal, Iranian banking and financial services will be banned from selling their products in the EU. Member states will also move to freeze EU-based bank accounts belonging to members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, while Irisil, an Iranian shipping company, will be barred from operating in EU waters. EU companies will also have to take a toll from the proposed sanctions, as they will be prohibited to invest in or offer technical assistance and technology transfers to Iran's oil and gas industry.Iran is OPEC's second largest oil exporter and has the world's second-largest reserves of natural gas. European companies such as Gas de France or Austria's OMV have in the past years signed various memoranda of understanding for developing the country's gas fields, but were in the end forced to pull out. OMV has also pushed for Iran to be considered as a source for the EU-backed Nabucco gas pipeline via Turkey. Discussions on Monday afternoon were difficult, as some foreign ministers, notably France's Bernard Kouchner, insisted that the sanctions should not harm the country's population. Sweden's Carl Bildt also said that sanctions alone cannot solve the problem of Iran's nuclear program.

Most ministers in the end supported the shift to tougher sanctions, however. I think Europe can toughen sanctions for oil and gas technologies, visa regime and for products which can be used both for military and civilian purposes,Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini was quoted as saying by Austrian press agency APA.Germany's Guido Westerwelle, whose country's exports to Iran reached €3.7 billion last year, also backed the sanctions as an important signal of determination, although he was reportedly more reluctant to support the oil and gas-related measures. The UN has already imposed several sets of sanctions against Tehran, the last one authorising high-seas inspections of vessels believed to be ferrying banned items to Iran and adding 40 entities to a list of people and groups subject to travel restrictions and financial sanctions.The Iranian government says its nuclear program is purely for civilian purposes, but Western powers suspect it is trying to develop the bomb. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last week called the UN Security Council a tool of dictatorship and warned that new sanctions will have no effect.
