China uses APEC to boost regional role-Associated Press-By JOE McDONALD-NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
HUAIROU, China (AP) — As leaders of Asia-Pacific economies gather for a summit, China is trying to boost its status as a regional leader by launching a rapid-fire series of trade and finance pacts that might dilute U.S. influence.On the eve of the gathering, Beijing announced a free-trade agreement Monday with South Korea. Also Monday, regulators approved a plan to open Chinese stock markets wider to foreign investors by linking exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai. That followed the weekend announcement of a $40 billion Chinese-financed fund to improve trade links between Asian economies.At Tuesday's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, China is promoting its own regional free-trade pact, despite U.S. pressure to make progress on other initiatives. It marks the first time Beijing has taken the lead in promoting a multinational trade agreement.The moves reflect Beijing's insistence on a bigger role in what it sees as U.S.-dominated economic and security structures to reflect China's status as the world's second-biggest economy.China says its motives are benign. But its growing economic weight as the top trading partner for most of its neighbors from South Korea to Australia could erode U.S. influence."We are duty-bound to create and fulfill an Asia-Pacific dream for our people," the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, said Sunday in a speech at a business conference ahead of APEC.APEC is the first major international gathering in China since Xi took power, and brings together leaders including Presidents Barack Obama of the United States and Vladimir Putin of Russia. That gives Beijing a platform to lobby for a bigger leadership role.On Monday, Xi met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and shared an awkward handshake seen as a gesture toward easing two years of tensions between Asia's biggest economies.A spat between China and Japan over islands in the East China Sea and other issues has raised fears of a military confrontation, which could draw the United States, Japan's ally. On Friday, the two sides issued a joint statement agreeing to gradually resume political, diplomatic and security dialogues.Also this year, Beijing joined 20 other Asian countries in launching a regional development bank, despite U.S. objections that it needlessly duplicated the World Bank's work. In May, Xi called for creation of a new Asian structure for security cooperation based on a group that excludes Washington.On Monday, Obama insisted Washington sees no threat from Beijing's growing economic and political status."The United States welcomes the rise of a prosperous, peaceful and stable China," the American leader said in a speech at the business conference.Still, American officials chafe at Beijing's insistence on promoting its proposed trade pact, the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific.It comes at a time when progress on a U.S.-led initiative, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has stalled. The chief U.S. trade envoy, Michael Froman, said Saturday the two pacts are "not in competition," but he said Beijing should focus on wrapping up a U.S.-Chinese investment treaty and a separate agreement to lower barriers to trade in information technology.The TPP includes the United States, Japan and 10 other countries, but excludes China. Few details have been released but its promoters say it would reduce or eliminate tariffs on most goods among the member countries. That might hurt China by encouraging member countries to trade more with each other.China's initiative is much less ambitious and is aimed at reducing conflict among hundreds of bilateral trade agreements between pairs of Asia-Pacific economies.The U.S.-Chinese rivalry might help smaller countries in the region by giving them more choice among trade initiatives, economists say. They say, however, that governments are reluctant to take public positions on either pact to avoid antagonizing Beijing or Washington.On Saturday, APEC trade ministers issued a cautious endorsement of China's initiative. They sent to the leaders' meeting a proposal to launch a study of the plan but held off committing to deadlines or other details.The Chinese-South Korean trade agreement calls for the two nations to remove tariffs on more than 90 percent of goods over two decades. That includes finance, online commerce and 20 other areas but excludes the sensitive fields of autos and rice. South Korea said it was the first time China has included finance or telecommunications in such an agreement.Plans to link the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges could help to attract more regional investors. The Hong Kong market has long been open to global investors but most foreigners have been barred until now from China's mainland exchanges.
China, Russia sign accord on second gas route-Associated Press-November 9, 2014 8:40 AM-YAHOONEWS
BEIJING (AP) — The leaders of China and Russia signed agreements Sunday to boost energy cooperation, including an understanding to develop a second major route to supply the Chinese side with Russian gas following an initial $400 billion deal in May.The cooperation with China gives Russia a boost at a time when Washington and the European Union have imposed sanctions against Moscow and grown increasingly wary of the Kremlin because of the crisis in Ukraine.Presidents Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia presided over the signing of the accords, which also included financing agreements, after meeting in Beijing ahead of this week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit."Regarding cooperation in the international sphere, the most important thing is cooperation between China and Russia to keep the world within the framework of international law, to make it more stable, more predictable," Putin said. "Together we've done a lot to achieve that, and I am sure we will work in this direction in the future."One of the memorandums of understanding is to develop a western route for the delivery of Russian gas, following the May agreement to supply 38 billion cubic meters of gas annually through an eastern route."Together we have carefully taken care of the tree of Russian-Chinese relations. Now fall has set in, it's harvest time," Xi said.The deals give Russia a way to vastly expand its market for its gas, which now goes mostly to Europe. For China, the world's second-largest economy, the cooperation helps ease gas shortages and curb its reliance on coal.

Obama urges China to be partner in ensuring world order-Reuters-By Matt Spetalnick and Michael Martina-NOV 10,14
BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday a successful China was in the interests of the United States and the world but Beijing had to be a partner in underwriting international order, and not undermine it.Referring to growing concerns among U.S. and other companies about the Chinese business environment after arriving in Beijing, Obama also urged China to reject the use of cyber theft for commercial gain and create a more level playing field where policy is not used for the benefit of some firms over others.Obama's trip to China for an Asia-Pacific summit comes at a time of growing China-U.S. friction, with Washington trying to expand American interests in Asia while Chinese President Xi Jinping demonstrates more willingness than his predecessors to demonstrate Beijing's clout on regional issues.The two countries have disagreed in recent months on a range of topics, including trade, maritime issues and cyber security, while the United States has lobbied against the creation of a multilateral infrastructure investment bank sponsored by China."Our message is that we want to see China successful," Obama told a news conference. "But, as they grow, we want them to be a partner in underwriting the international order, not undermining it."Obama and Xi will meet over dinner on Tuesday night and then for bilateral talks as part of an official state visit on Wednesday.In a deal that he said would improve trade and business ties between the world's two largest economies, Obama announced that China and the United States agreed to significantly extend the length of short-term tourist, business and student visas.But Obama also urged Beijing's leaders to create a fair market place for foreign firms."We look to China to create a more level playing field on which foreign companies are treated fairly, so that they can compete fairly with Chinese companies," he said in a speech to business leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum."We look to China to become an innovative economy that values the protection of intellectual property rights, and rejects cyber theft of trade secrets for commercial gain."Dozens of foreign firms, including U.S. companies such as Qualcomm Inc and Microsoft Corp, have come under scrutiny as China seeks to enforce a 2008 anti-monopoly law that some critics say is being used to unfairly target overseas businesses, raising protectionism concerns.Chinese regulators have defended their antitrust policies, saying foreign firms are not being targeted.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, OPEN INTERNET
Obama's focus on Asia business ties on the first day of his visit underscored his efforts to strike a balance between seeking deeper economic cooperation with a rising China while also challenging Beijing with the U.S. pursuit of a trans-Pacific trade pact that for now excludes the world's second-largest economy.Earlier, Obama said momentum was building on the ambitious 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), although U.S officials had ruled out a major announcement on the pact in Beijing.He urged China to move "definitively" to a more market-based exchange rate and to stand up for human rights and freedom of the press.Under the visa deal, which will take effect on Nov. 12, both countries would extend the terms of multiple entry short-term tourist and business visas to 10 years from one year, the White House said in a statement accompanying Obama's announcement. Student visas would be extended to five years from one year."As a result of this arrangement, the United States hopes to welcome a growing share of eligible Chinese travellers, inject billions (of dollars) in the U.S. economy and create enough demand to support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs," the White House statement said.The extension of some visas for Chinese nationals to 10 years matches what is currently allowed for citizens of nations with close relations with the United States, such as European countries and Brazil.A senior U.S. official said the visa agreement would allow the United States to tap into the fast-growing market of Chinese tourists travelling abroad. The United States now attracts only 2 percent of Chinese tourism."We see this as a really big win," the official said, estimating that the United States could gain 440,000 jobs by 2021 and receive an $85 billion annual infusion into the American economy as a result of the new policy.It will also make it easier for Chinese businesses and investors to get involved in U.S. projects.Major U.S. carriers United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines said the move would boost travel and lower costs for both countries."We support agreements that simplify travel and remove obstacles for our customers," United CEO Jeff Smisek said in a statement.(Writing by John Ruwitch; Editing by Jason Subler, Raju Gopalakrishnan and Ken Wills)
EU to unveil capital markets plan in 2015-06.11.14 @ 18:26-euobserver
BRUSSELS - The European Commission will unveil plans to harmonise the bloc's capital markets in 2015 and reduce the reliance of Europe's businesses on bank lending, the bloc's new financial services chief has revealed.Speaking at a conference of financial sector leaders and EU officials on Thursday (6 November), Jonathan Hill said that he would present an "action plan" by summer 2015 which would serve as a "roadmap to developing an ambitious capital markets union."The EU executive would also launch a public consultation involving the financial sector, politicians and NGOs, said Hill. "We still do not have a fully functioning single market for capital," he added.As the EU's new financial services commissioner, Hill has been tasked with developing a so-called capital markets union, one of Jean-Claude Juncker's main pledges during his successful campaign for the European Commission presidency.But although the program's name clearly echoes that of the bloc's banking union, politicians have been less able to pin down what it will mean in practice.Lawmakers are anxious to explore ways to make firms less reliant on banks, which currently provide 80 percent of business finance, and follow the example set in the US where companies get five times as much funding from capital markets as their EU counterparts. EU firms obtain only 20 percent of their investment from debt securities.Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the monthly meetings of eurozone finance ministers, described it as "crucial" that the new regime feature a single European supervisor and the creation of a pan-European insolvency law.New rules in the EU and across the world have forced banks to boost the amount of capital they hold on their balance sheets, in a bid to make them less vulnerable to future financial crises.However, this, coupled with economic stagnation that exists across most of Europe, has made banks reluctant to increase their lending to businesses.But Hill indicated that the programme was not likely to be completed any time soon, describing it as a "long term project".The first priority will be for MEPs and ministers to agree on plans to create private European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs), to provide funds for firms that will need investment over a long period of time. Hill called on legislators to agree on the bill "before the end of the year".The commission would also focus on developing the EU's securities and bond markets to allow firms to raise money through these, and other financial instruments, whose use has dwindled since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.Re-building the bloc's securities and private bond markets is also a priority of the European Central Bank which launched programmes to buy packaged loans, known as asset-backed securities, and bonds earlier in the autumn.

US Catholic bishops try to calm anxiety over pope-Associated Press-By RACHEL ZOLL-NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
BALTIMORE (AP) — America's Catholic bishops came together Monday to project an image of unity, after a Vatican meeting on the family unleashed an uproar over the direction of the church.Last month's gathering in Rome on more compassionately ministering to families featured open debate — alarming many traditional Catholics, who argued it would undermine public understanding of church teaching. Pope Francis encouraged a free exchange of ideas at the assembly, or synod, in contrast to previous years, when such events were tightly scripted.At a meeting Monday in Baltimore, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, signaled there was no conflict between a gentler approach and upholding church orthodoxy. Kurtz cited his home visits to parishioners, where he wouldn't give them "a list of rules to follow firsthand," but would instead "spend time with them trying to appreciate the good that I saw in their hearts," before inviting them to follow Christ."Such an approach isn't in opposition to church teachings. It's an affirmation of them," said Kurtz, who attended the Vatican gathering.Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, who also participated in the Vatican gathering, emphasized that last month's meeting was only the start of a discussion before a larger gathering on the family next year, where bishops will more concretely advise the pope on developing any new church practices. New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the divisiveness he read in media accounts did not reflect the collegial discussion inside the event."It was a synod of consensus," Dolan said. The pope, he said, has a God-given gift "for attentive listening."The bishops made the remarks at their fourth national meeting since Francis was elected. While many Catholics have praised Francis' new emphasis on mercy over the culture wars, many theological conservatives have said Francis is failing to carry out his duty as defender of the faith. Some U.S. bishops have resisted turning their focus away from gay marriage, abortion and other contentious social issues to take up Francis' focus on the poor, immigrants and those who feel unwelcome in the church.The papal ambassador to Washington, Archbishop Carlo Vigano, said in a wide-ranging speech bishops "must not be afraid to work with our Holy Father."The public sessions at the U.S. bishops' meeting are focused on religious liberty, upholding marriage between a man and a woman, and moral issues in health care. In his speech, Kurtz said the bishops would continue to fight the Obama administration over the birth control coverage requirement in the Affordable Care Act, his signature health law. The administration has made several changes to accommodate the bishops' concerns, but church leaders say the White House hasn't gone far enough. Dozens of dioceses and Catholic nonprofits have sued over the mandate.At the Rome gathering, tensions arose when Vatican officials released a mid-meeting report that contained language more welcoming to gays and people in civil heterosexual unions. The language was not included in the final report.The Rev. Tom Rosica, a Vatican press office official for English-language media, attended the American bishops' assembly. He said an in interview that Catholic church leaders and lay people, as well as those outside the church, are reacting strongly to the Vatican meeting because they aren't accustomed to addressing issues the way Francis advocates."The pope made it clear doctrine would remain untouched," Rosica said.He said Francis "is traveling at high altitude," above the backlash to his leadership, as he tries to revive discussion and move the church forward.
11/ 8/2014 - vatican insider-Pope appoints Gallagher as Secretary for Relations with States, replaces Burke with Mamberti-Paul Richard Gallagher, the new Secretary for Relations with States-Pope appoints Archbishop Paul Gallagher, first ever Englishman as “Foreign Minister”, names Archbishop Dominque Mamberti to replace Cardinal Raymond Burke as “Chief Justice”gerard o'connell
rome-In a series of top level changes in the Roman Curia, Pope Francis has appointed the English-born Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher as Secretary for Relations with States – the third highest position in the Vatican.He succeeds the Moroccan-born Archbishop Dominque Mamberti who has held this post since 15 September 2006, whom the Pope has promoted to be Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Segnatura ( a position equivalent to that of a Chief Justice).Mamberti, a civil and canon lawyer, succeeds the American Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who has served in that role since 27 June 2008 but was not confirmed in the post after completing the statutory five year term of office. Cardinal Burke has been re-assigned to be Patron of the Sovereign Order of the Knights of Malta.Archbishop Gallagher is the first Englishman ever to hold such a position, and comes to this important role – the equivalent to that of a Foreign Minister - with thirty years of distinguished experience in the diplomatic service of the Holy See, in a wide variety of situations on all continents.The sixty-year old friendly, astute and courageous Gallagher, whose motto is “Walk humbly with God”, has served in the Holy See’s missions in Tanzania, Uruguay, the Philippines, as Observer at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and then as nuncio to Burundi, Guatemala and Australia, where he was at the time of his new appointment.He knows the Secretariat of State well having worked in its Second Section, which manages relations with states, from 1995 to 2000. In those years he worked alongside Pietro Parolin, now the Cardinal Secretary of State, so the two men know each other well. Gallagher is fluent in Italian, Spanish and French.Born in Liverpool, 23 January 1954, he studied at the city’s Jesuit St Francis Xavier’s College. Earlier this year, he told the archdiocese of Melbourne’s Kairos Catholic Journal that he felt the call to the priesthood in his teenage years, inspired by the words of Jesus, “what greater love has a man than to give his life for his friends.” Then, he said, “I thought if I give my life to the priesthood, to the Church, I would be doing that as an act of love to my friends. That was really the roots of my becoming a priest.”He contemplated joining the Jesuits or Benedictines, but settled for the diocesan priesthood after participating in a vocations program in the Liverpool archdiocese. He was sent to study for the priesthood at Rome’s Jesuit-run Gregorian University, while residing at the Venerable English College, and there obtained good degrees in philosophy, theology and – later- canon law. He was ordained priest for the archdiocese of Liverpool on 31 July 1977, and was then assigned to work in a parish at Fazackley.Some years later, he was called back to Rome to study for the Holy See’s diplomatic service at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. He became the first-ever English priest to graduate from that academy and rise through the ranks to become a nuncio (that is, ambassador of the Holy See).He told Kairos Catholic Journal that he felt attracted to working in the diplomatic field of the Holy See “because I had always been interested in politics as a kid, so I thought maybe it could be something useful.”After joining the Holy See’s diplomatic service on 1 May 1984, he was sent first to work in its diplomatic mission (nunciature) in Tanzania, and afterwards in Uruguay. He was subsequently assigned to the mission in Manila, the Philippines, and was there for the 1995 World Youth Day with John Paul II. Soon after, the Polish pope called Gallagher to the Vatican to work at the Secretariat of State, in the Section for Relations with States, then headed by the French Archbishop (now cardinal) Jean-Louis Tauran.On 15 July 2000, John Paul II appointed him as Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe. There he succeeded the Irish-born Archbishop Michael Courtney who was sent as nuncio to Burundi, where he was assassinated in 2003. Gallagher also succeeded Courtney as nuncio in Burundi in 2004. That posting was a dangerous one as he sought to encourage the fragile peace process after a civil war that caused the death of some 300,000 people. During the last year of his service in Burundi rebel forces hit the nunciature by mistake when they opened fire on the nearby presidential palace; the shells caused damage to the building but fortunately no lives were lost.Archbishop Gallagher was transferred from Burundi to Guatemala as nuncio in 2009, a country that was still recovering from one of Central America’s longest and bloodiest civil wars (1960-1996) that caused the deaths of more than 200,000 people – most of them indigenous people, and the disappearances of some 40-50,000 others, most of whom are still unaccounted for.Thanks to the persistence of Church in Guatemala, and especially the work of the assassinated Bishop Juan Gerardi (1998) and human rights groups, with the help of the courts, the United Nations and the International Community in the Peace Process, the truth began to emerge, justice began to be implemented and peace was consolidated. Archbishop Gallagher sought to support the unfolding of this important chapter in a land where there is still much poverty and insecurity. He also sought to help the local church and population when natural disasters struck during his time there.In late 2012, months before his resignation, Benedict XVI appointed Gallagher as nuncio to Australia, a religiously diverse country of over 22 million people, where. Christianity is the main religion and Roman Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination, with some 26% of the people declaring themselves Catholic.The English-born nuncio arrived in Australia at a particularly delicate moment when the Catholic Church was once again under the public spotlight for the way it dealt with the sexual abuse of minors by priests in past decades. Parliamentary inquiries were under way in the states of Victoria and New South Wales and a national Royal Commission would soon investigate how the various institutions in the country, both private and public, responded to allegations of child abuse.“I expected a very enjoyable, stimulating, challenging mission, but one that was going to be overshadowed by the scandals of sexual abuse and the Royal Commission, and other inquiries like the Newcastle and Victorian parliamentary inquiries; and that has proven to be the case,” he told Kairos Journal last March.Archbishop Gallagher arrived in Australia two weeks before Pope Francis was elected, but he has met the Argentine-born pontiff twice since then: first, at a gathering of all the nuncios in June 2013 and again when he came to the Vatican during his annual visit in November of that same year.“Pope Francis has reinstated the practice of the Pope receiving the nuncios, which is very much appreciated by all the nuncios. We had a very wonderful exchange of 20-25 minutes. He was very spontaneous, very interested”, he told Kairos Journal.He spoke about his visit with the Argentine-born pope as a very spiritual encounter. “Going to see Pope Francis is a bit like going to spiritual direction. I think he sees his role is to listen to you, understand the problems and maybe give some reactions, but also to encourage you. We certainly do feel encouraged by the time and attention he has given to us”, he stated.As Secretary for Relations with States Archbishop Gallagher is head of the Second Section of the Secretariat of State. He will work very closely with Pope Francis in relations with heads of government, and with relations, especially those of a diplomatic nature, with states and other subjects of public international law.Note: The article was first published in America magazine, and is published here with permission
11/10/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-The impact of the Synod effect on US bishops-Joseph Edward Kurtz-andrea tornielli
vatican city-“When I'd come to someone's home, I wouldn't start by telling them how I'd rearrange their furniture. In the same way, I wouldn't begin by giving them a list of rules to follow.” This was one of the phrases the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Archbishop of Louisville, Joseph Edward Kurtz, used in his opening speech at the USCCB’s General Assembly in Baltimore. The “Synod effect” that resonates through his words, is the awareness that the Christian message begins with accompaniment and closeness, not with the presentation of a set of rules and doctrines on the basis of which people are to judge the lives of others.“We can restore hope in marriage by calling forth such witnesses to help one another, and to help us accompany and encourage families with practical, on-the-ground support. We can work to better convey St. John Paul II's remarkable vision of marriage and family life as developed in his theology of the body,” the Archbishop explained.“And because, as St. John Paul II put it, "the Church is a home and a family for everyone, especially those who 'labor and are heavy laden,” we must especially seek out those who suffer under the weight of the difficulties faced by families today, remembering to see the person first, walking with them and pointing the way toward God.”“We all strive to be faithful pastors, so we know what this looks like. Think of the home visits we've all done in parishes. When I'd come to someone's home, I wouldn't start by telling them how I'd rearrange their furniture. In the same way, I wouldn't begin by giving them a list of rules to follow,” Kurtz went on to say.“Instead I'd first spend time with them, trying to appreciate the good that I saw in their hearts,” the President of the USCCB added. “I'd acknowledge that, like them, I was in the process of conversion toward greater holiness. I would then invite them to follow Christ and I'd offer to accompany them as we, together, follow the Gospel invitation to turn from sin and journey along the way. Such an approach isn't in opposition to Church teachings; it's an affirmation of them. Our call as bishops is to bring the Good News to others as true missionary disciples, inspiring them to go forth and do the same.”Archbishop Kurtz began his speech quoting an Italian newspaper La Repubblica’s Vatican correspondent Paolo Rodari, whom he met during the Synod, not to be interviewed to share experiences. Both the bishop and the journalist have siblings with Down’s Syndrome. Kurtz asked Rodari: "Is Giovanni hard to understand?" Paolo nodded. "But do you understand him?" I asked. Paolo smiled and nodded again. Paolo has learned to understand Giovanni, because they're family,” the Archbishop said.A new approach therefore emerged today. An approach which does not question faith-related truths but instead focuses on encounter, listening and accompanying before judging or feeding people sets of rules. This is the Synod effect, the Francis effect.
11/ 9/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Mamberti takes over from Burke and Gallagher is Vatican’s new “foreign affairs minister”-Paul Richard Gallagher (centre)-Paul Gallagher is currently Nuncio to Australia. The current secretary for Relations with States now becomes Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, replacing the conservative American acrdinal who will go on to lead the Knights of Malta-andrea tornielli
vatican city-Following Parolin’s appointment a year ago, Francis has made another key change to the structure of the Vatican Secretary of State: the current Secretary for Relations with States, Corsican Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, is being promoted as head of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura: he replaces Cardinal Raymond Burke who in turn is being transferred to the Order of the Knights of Malta. Burke himself confirmed his nomination in an interview given during the recent Synod.The new Vatican “foreign affairs minister” who succeeds Mamberti is Paul Richard Gallagher, Titular Archbishop of Hodelm (an old Scottish diocese that was closed down), was born in Liverpool on 23 January 1954 and is currently Apostolic Nuncio to Australia. Gallagher was appointed Nuncio in Burundi and consecrated as a Bishop in 2004. From 2009 to the end of 2012 – before he took over his post in Australia – he was Papal Representative in Guatemala.Gallagher was born in the same neighbourhood where the Beatles kick-started their career. He was a priest in the Diocese of Liverpool in 1977, began by serving as an assistant to the parish priest in the Holy Name Church and was chaplain at Fazakerley hospital. He graduated with a degree in Canon Law and entered the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 1984. Before being appointed Apostolic Nuncio he served the Vatican diplomatic missions in Tanzania, Uruguay, the Philippines and soon the Council of Europe.As a Nuncio in Burundi, Gallagher succeeded Irish Archbishop Michal Aidan Courtney, a great peace campaigner during the civil war, who was murdered on 29 December 2003. He also survived a bomb explosion in his residence. Nominated by Benedict XVI, to serve first in Guatemala and then in Australia, he presented his letters of credence in Canberra on 30 April 2013.The Vatican’s new “foreign affairs minister” has a diplomatic experience spanning five continents: most recently in Oceania, previously in Latin America and Africa and before this in Asia and Europe. He worked in the Secretariat of State for five years and so is well-versed in the workings of the Curia. He has also collaborated with the current Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin. Gallagher speaks English, Spanish, French and Italian.He is said to be a competent prelate who is not part of any clique and has served well in all positions he has been appointed to so far.

Catalonia: 1.6mn vote for independent state-10.11.14 @ 09:25-EUOBSERVER-By Peter Teffer
Brussels - Over 1.6 million Catalans voted in favour of independence on Sunday (9 November) in an informal poll.More than 80 percent of the 2 million people that cast a vote in the consultation, answered Yes to both questions: “Do you want Catalonia to be a state? If so, do you want this state to be independent?”. Another 10 percent said they wanted Catalonia to be a state but remain part of Spain, while 4.5 percent voted No to both questions.But the vote was non-binding after Spain's constitutional court forbade Catalonia to hold a formal referendum.Sunday's vote was also illicit after the court calls for its suspension pending an analysis on whether it breached the Spanish constitution.Meanwhile, many Catalans who are against independence stayed at home, and there was no coherent No campaign.With a turnout of 2 million people, the vote shows a substantial portion of the Catalans had the will to express themselves on the future of their region.Because the vote was informal, it is difficult to determine what the official voter turnout percentage will be. But Spanish daily El Pais estimated 32.8 percent.The result of the poll will strengthen the independence movement in Catalonia and the call for an official referendum down the line.Catalan president Artur Mas called the vote a “success” and said the independence movement made a “giant step” towards a binding referendum.The result shows “Catalonia wants to govern itself”, he noted, according to Spanish media.He announced that he will explain on Tuesday (11 November) what next steps the movement will take. He also called on Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy to organise a referendum.At the same time in Madrid, justice minister Rafael Catala called Sunday's vote “useless”.“The government considers this to be a day of political propaganda organised by pro-independence forces and devoid of any kind of democratic validity”, he said in a statement.The European Commission, for its part, said the vote was an internal matter. “It is not the role of the commission to express an opinion” on the poll, said spokesperson Margaritas Schinas.The vote was organised by about 40,000 volunteers.It came after the recently-held independence referendum in Scotland which saw Scots choose to remain part of the UK.

Russian military trying to intimidate Nato, report says-Today @ 09:27-NOV 10,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Russia has, in parallel with its war on Ukraine, instigated almost 40 “highly disturbing” anti-Nato incidents, a new British report says.The survey - Dangerous Brinkmanship, by the London-based think-tank ELN, out on Monday (10 November) - notes that what happened to flight MH17 over Ukraine in July almost happened over Sweden three months earlier.It says that on 3 March an SAS 737 passenger jet, carrying 132 people from Copenhagen to Rome, had a near miss close to Malmo, Sweden, with a Russian reconaissance plane which had failed to transmit its position.It adds that “major loss of life” was avoided only due to “good visibility and the alertness of the passenger pilots”.It lists 11 other “serious incidents” which risked “escalation”.On 12 April, a Russian fighter jet made 12 “agressive” passes over a US warship in the Black Sea, while the next day a Russian jet undertook “threatening manoeuvres” next to a US reconaissance plane over the Sea of Okhotsk.In June, armed Russian bombers simulated an attack on the Danish island of Bornholm. On 16 July, an armed Russian jet flew within 10 metres of a Swedish surveillance plane in international airspace in the Baltic region. Two days later, Russian jets also “chased” a US reconaissance plane into Swedish airspace.In early September, Russian strategic bombers near Canada “practiced cruise missile strikes” on the US and Russian jets “buzzed” a Canadian frigate in the Black Sea.Later the same month, two Russian bombers entered Swedish airspace near the Oland island, while in October a Russian jet came “within metres” of crashing into a Swedish surveillance plane over the Baltic Sea.The ELN report classifies the rest of the incidents as “near-routine” in terms of how Russia and Nato test and shadow each other’s capabilities.But it notes that the “increased number” of events from the Russian side in the past eight months is “adding to an atmosphere of tension”.Some of them, while “near-routine” for specialists, are also likely to cause fear in civilian onlookers.In one almost-normal incident, on 10 April, two Russian naval ships entered Lithuania’s maritime zone during a Russian “live-fire” drill, causing “serious disruptions” to commercial shipping.In other figures, the ELN paper says that up to October this year Nato jets carried out more than 100 “intercepts” of Russian military aircraft - three times the whole number for last year.Nato “air-police” also carried out 68 “hot identification and interdiction” operations on the Lithuanian border alone. Latvia recorded more than 150 incidents of Russian planes approaching its airspace, while Russian aircraft violated Estonian air on six occasions.The report notes that Russian armed forces “seem to have been authorised and encouraged” to act in a “much more aggressive” way toward Nato and to non-Nato Western allies Finland and Sweden.It says Russia’s actions amount to “intimidation and coercion” of its neighbours, sending the message, for instance, to Finland and Sweden that there will be “more harassment” if they join the Western military alliance.It notes Russia is trying to “undermine the confidence” of Baltic states that Nato is capable of defending them.With the West hesitating to arm the Ukrainian military in its war with Russian regular and irregular forces, Russia is also trying to show it “has the means and the willingness to confront Nato … in the even of a conflict”.Meanwhile, the air acrobatics are meant to serve Kremlin “propaganda” and “boost” Russian military “morale” in the face a technologically superior adversary.The ELN authors urge Russia to cool off and urge Nato to increase military-to-military diplomacy and transparency.They warn that if, in future, an incident leads to loss of life on either side, it could prompt “punitive military action” and “feed a spiral” of confrontation between “a nuclear-armed state and a nuclear-armed alliance” which “may be difficult for either side to fully control or stop”.
Kasparov: Stop Putin now or pay the price later-09.11.14 @ 17:03-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Chess legend Garry Kasparov was once the pride of the Soviet Union.But 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall he lives in exile, accusing Russian leader Vladimir Putin of “strategic failure” and the EU establishment of “ignorance” in its dealings with Moscow.Kasparov, who spoke to EUobserver on the eve of the Berlin Wall anniversary, said he will never forget the date it fell - 9 November 1989 - “because on that same day, four years earlier, I had just won the world [chess] championship”.The end of the wall has come to symbolise the end of the Cold War.But for Kasparov, who gave up chess to become an opposition activist, Europe risks entering another dark chapter in history.“What we are seeing in Russia is a resurgence of imperialism and nationalism in its most dangerous form,” he said, comparing Russia's actions in Ukraine and Putin's domestic propaganda to Nazi Germany on the eve of World War II.“Just read what Putin has been saying in his [anti-West] speeches in the past year”.“It’s 24/7 brainwashing of the Russian people … pure lies”.With the EU and US imposing economic sanctions on Russia over its war on Ukraine, Kasparov said the West is more powerful than it thinks.“Russian gas is one third of EU consumption. But Russia sells 80 percent of its oil and gas to Europe … If it all stopped, parts of the EU would freeze, but the Russian economy would fall apart”, he noted.“The leverage is on the European side”.Recalling European appeasement of Hitler when he annexed Austria in 1938, Kasparov said it would also cost less to stop Putin now than at a later stage.But he added that some in the EU elite “don’t care about Ukraine and want to return to business as usual [with Russia]” for political or business reasons.Italy and France have voiced doubt on keeping the sanctions in place.But Kasparov reserved his sharpest words for Hungarian PM Viktor Orban and Czech president Milos Zeman, the most vocal sanctions critics, whose countries once rose up against Soviet oppression.“They are committing crimes against the histories of their own nations. It’s an insult to the people who died in 1956 or 1968 from Soviet tanks, just as people in Ukraine are dying today”, Kasparov said.
Business as usual
The business-as-usual attitude is not limited to some EU chancelleries.In a courtroom in Lyon, France, on 17 October judges listened to French public prosecutor Christian Ponsard argue why France should extradite Mukhtar Ablyazov - an opposition figure from Moscow's ally, Kazakhstan - to Russia.They also listened to Denis Grunis, a Russian prosecutor.They refused to listen to a group of activists, including Kasparov, who had travelled to the hearing.They then agreed, on 24 October, to hand over Ablyazov on grounds that Russia had followed legal due process.They did it despite the fact the Russian judge behind the extradition request, Alexey Krivoruchko, is on a US and European Parliament blacklist for his part in the torture and death in 2009 of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian anti-corruption activist.The Lyon court and Ponsard declined to comment when contacted by EUobserver.But Kasparov took note of Ponsard’s remarks on 17 October that Russia is a “reliable partner” and that Ablyazov "will face no risk of an unfair trial, or ... other mistreatment”. When asked by EUobserver why he thinks Lyon bowed to Moscow, Kasparov blamed “ignorance” and “arrogance”.He said Western mass media and politicians, who still meet with “president” Putin and his top cadre, have created a false image of Russia as “being somehow a normal, democratic country, albeit with a few deviations, but not as bad as, say, North Korea, or even China”.He noted that the image trickles down to institutions, like judiciaries.He accused the French judges of “arrogance” because, he said, they prefer to deal with their equals in Russian officialdom instead of civil society.“Governments prefer to deal with governments. Judges with judges. There’s a general approach that if Russia has signed all the technical documents, ticked all the boxes, then why bother listening to a few individuals who are known to be in the opposition?”.He described the Ablyazov case as “emblematic”.Interpol, the international police body which is also based in Lyon, and Europol, its EU equivalent in The Hague, likewise co-operate with Russia on law enforcement.British, Dutch, French, German and US energy firms and banks do business in Russia where they can.Fifa, the world football authority, still plans to hold the World Cup there in 2018.“There is an indifference in the West to Putin’s abuse of power and to Russia’s total degradation of its own courts and legal system … The West is still willing to negotiate compromises and to sacrifice individuals for the sake of bigger deals”, Kasparov said.
Putin’s Russia
In an insight into daily life under Putin, Kasparov, a 51-year old of Armenian-Jewish origin, spoke to EUobserver from the US because he doesn’t feel safe to go home to Russia.“I could go back. But I don’t think they'd let me leave: It would be a one-way ticket”, he said.He noted that he has never been threatened. But he said Russian security services tend to strike their victims instead of making threats.“You suddenly find yourself being interrogated and put behind bars. At best”.He pointed to Alexei Devotchenko, a well-known Russian actor and Putin critic, whose dead body was, on 5 November, found in his Moscow apartment amid signs of violence.“I can’t tell you he was murdered for political reasons. But if something like this happens in Russia, you have to at least suspect Putin’s cronies”, Kasparov said.“I can bet you, in any case, the police will never find those who did it”.He noted that lawlessness at the bottom comes from lawlessness at the top.“Putin has showed [by attacking Ukraine] that he has no respect for international treaties”.“He has nothing to brag about at home - oil prices are low, the ruble is collapsing, the economy is stagnant - so the only thing he can offer to Russian people is fear of an outside enemy and fantasies of imperial greatness”, Kasparov said.Looking back at his former role as a Soviet champion, he said Russian people are still receptive to nationalist propaganda.“The collapse of the Soviet Union was painful. But, unlike in Germany, there was no process of reconciliation or lustration, of cleansing society of former Communist apparatchiks, and, most importantly, of the KGB”, he noted, referring to the Russian intelligence service, now called the FSB, where Putin began his career.“The KGB remains a massive force in society”.“There is no recognition of the fundamental sickness of the old system and of the crimes that the KGB committed inside Russia’s borders”, he added.“The fact that Russia paid no real price for annexing Crimea has created a certain euphoria”.
Mad dog tactics
Kasparov’s advice to EU policy makers is to play the long game against the Kremlin.He said the sanctions regime is damaging Putin’s standing inside the Russian elite.“Europe must keep its resolve and must maintain the sanctions. Putin is gambling that they are temporary. He is telling his inner circle that they will be lifted in the next six or eight months”.“It’s important to send the message that they won't be lifted and to give full support to Ukraine. Body language is very important. But we are not seeing the right body language from the West”, he added.He noted that EU states and the US have refused to arm the Ukrainian military because of Putin’s “mad dog” tactics.The Russian leader’s wild comments that he could invade Poland and his bombers' skirting of Nato airspace have caused fear that if he is cornered he might escalate the conflict.“But the mad dog in politics is not the same as the mad dog in the street”, Kasparov said.“The more ground you cede to Putin, the more dangerous he becomes … tomorrow the price of stopping him will go up. The day after it will be even higher”.“There is a serious risk that he will do in [Nato member] Estonia what he is doing in Ukraine. Then we might hear the same voices we are hearing now: ‘Why should we die for some country we can hardly identify on the map?’ And that will be the end of Nato”.The Russian ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, once told this website that Kasparov is “a great chess player, but a lousy politician”. Kasparov retorted: “I don’t need him to tell me if I’m good at chess. But I can tell him there is no such thing as ‘politicians’ in Putin’s one-man dictatorship”.Asked by EUobserver if Putin is a good strategist, the chess champion said “any dictator who keeps power for 15 years deserves some credit” for his cunning.But he noted that seven-or-so years ago, when Putin handed power to then-president Dmitry Medvedev, Russia appeared to be on a path of modernisation and reform.“He [Putin] could have walked away on a high point”, Kasparov said.“He could have had a good name in history. But now he is being compared to Hitler - you tell me if that’s a strategic success or a major strategic failure, even if there is some tactical success”.
Iran and West end round of nuclear talks, outcome unclear-Reuters-By Warren Strobel -NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
MUSCAT (Reuters) - Iran, the United States and the European Union ended two days of high-level talks on Tehran's nuclear program on Monday with no immediate sign they had bridged gaps ahead of a Nov. 24 deadline for an agreement.A senior Iranian official told Reuters that minimal progress was made in the talks in Oman. "After hours of talks, we could make little progress," the official said. "Still differences remain and still we have gaps over issues."In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the talks among Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU envoy Catherine Ashton had been "tough, direct and serious."She gave no further details, but said that they were "continuing to chip away at a very challenging issue."Kerry was leaving Oman late on Monday for an Asia-Pacific meeting in Beijing. Diplomats from Iran and the "P5+1" countries - the five U.N. Security Council members, plus Germany - were due to resume talks in Muscat on Tuesday ahead of a last-ditch push in Vienna next week to meet the Nov. 24 deadline.The discussions aim to yield an accord that would put verifiable limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment work - and any other potential path to a nuclear weapon - in return for a gradual lifting of sanctions.As they had begun an evening session of the closed-door talks at a luxury hotel, Kerry and Zarif were cautious. Asked whether the negotiating teams were making progress, Kerry merely replied: "We are working hard. We are working hard."
Said Zarif: "We will eventually."
U.S. President Barack Obama said in a CBS television interview there was still a big gap between Iran and Western powers and said a deal could be out of reach.Economic sanctions led by the United States have pushed Iran to the table for a deal on its nuclear program, Obama said.A final step would involve Iran providing "verifiable, lock- tight assurances that they can't develop a nuclear weapon", he said. "There's still a big gap. We may not be able to get there."Western countries suspect Iran has secretly attempted to acquire the means to build nuclear weapons.Iran says it wants peaceful nuclear energy only, but has refused to curb enrichment capacity and has been hit by damaging U.S., EU and U.N. Security Council sanctions.The toughest outstanding issues are the size of Iran's enrichment program, the length of any final accord and the pace at which sanctions would be phased out, diplomats say.(Additional reporting by Parisa Hafezi and Fatma Al-Arimi, Editing by William Maclean, Dominic Evans and Bernard Orr)

China uses APEC to boost regional role-Associated Press-By JOE McDONALD-NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
HUAIROU, China (AP) — As leaders of Asia-Pacific economies gather for a summit, China is trying to boost its status as a regional leader by launching a rapid-fire series of trade and finance pacts that might dilute U.S. influence.On the eve of the gathering, Beijing announced a free-trade agreement Monday with South Korea. Also Monday, regulators approved a plan to open Chinese stock markets wider to foreign investors by linking exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai. That followed the weekend announcement of a $40 billion Chinese-financed fund to improve trade links between Asian economies.At Tuesday's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, China is promoting its own regional free-trade pact, despite U.S. pressure to make progress on other initiatives. It marks the first time Beijing has taken the lead in promoting a multinational trade agreement.The moves reflect Beijing's insistence on a bigger role in what it sees as U.S.-dominated economic and security structures to reflect China's status as the world's second-biggest economy.China says its motives are benign. But its growing economic weight as the top trading partner for most of its neighbors from South Korea to Australia could erode U.S. influence."We are duty-bound to create and fulfill an Asia-Pacific dream for our people," the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, said Sunday in a speech at a business conference ahead of APEC.APEC is the first major international gathering in China since Xi took power, and brings together leaders including Presidents Barack Obama of the United States and Vladimir Putin of Russia. That gives Beijing a platform to lobby for a bigger leadership role.On Monday, Xi met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and shared an awkward handshake seen as a gesture toward easing two years of tensions between Asia's biggest economies.A spat between China and Japan over islands in the East China Sea and other issues has raised fears of a military confrontation, which could draw the United States, Japan's ally. On Friday, the two sides issued a joint statement agreeing to gradually resume political, diplomatic and security dialogues.Also this year, Beijing joined 20 other Asian countries in launching a regional development bank, despite U.S. objections that it needlessly duplicated the World Bank's work. In May, Xi called for creation of a new Asian structure for security cooperation based on a group that excludes Washington.On Monday, Obama insisted Washington sees no threat from Beijing's growing economic and political status."The United States welcomes the rise of a prosperous, peaceful and stable China," the American leader said in a speech at the business conference.Still, American officials chafe at Beijing's insistence on promoting its proposed trade pact, the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific.It comes at a time when progress on a U.S.-led initiative, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has stalled. The chief U.S. trade envoy, Michael Froman, said Saturday the two pacts are "not in competition," but he said Beijing should focus on wrapping up a U.S.-Chinese investment treaty and a separate agreement to lower barriers to trade in information technology.The TPP includes the United States, Japan and 10 other countries, but excludes China. Few details have been released but its promoters say it would reduce or eliminate tariffs on most goods among the member countries. That might hurt China by encouraging member countries to trade more with each other.China's initiative is much less ambitious and is aimed at reducing conflict among hundreds of bilateral trade agreements between pairs of Asia-Pacific economies.The U.S.-Chinese rivalry might help smaller countries in the region by giving them more choice among trade initiatives, economists say. They say, however, that governments are reluctant to take public positions on either pact to avoid antagonizing Beijing or Washington.On Saturday, APEC trade ministers issued a cautious endorsement of China's initiative. They sent to the leaders' meeting a proposal to launch a study of the plan but held off committing to deadlines or other details.The Chinese-South Korean trade agreement calls for the two nations to remove tariffs on more than 90 percent of goods over two decades. That includes finance, online commerce and 20 other areas but excludes the sensitive fields of autos and rice. South Korea said it was the first time China has included finance or telecommunications in such an agreement.Plans to link the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges could help to attract more regional investors. The Hong Kong market has long been open to global investors but most foreigners have been barred until now from China's mainland exchanges.
China, Russia sign accord on second gas route-Associated Press-November 9, 2014 8:40 AM-YAHOONEWS
BEIJING (AP) — The leaders of China and Russia signed agreements Sunday to boost energy cooperation, including an understanding to develop a second major route to supply the Chinese side with Russian gas following an initial $400 billion deal in May.The cooperation with China gives Russia a boost at a time when Washington and the European Union have imposed sanctions against Moscow and grown increasingly wary of the Kremlin because of the crisis in Ukraine.Presidents Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia presided over the signing of the accords, which also included financing agreements, after meeting in Beijing ahead of this week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit."Regarding cooperation in the international sphere, the most important thing is cooperation between China and Russia to keep the world within the framework of international law, to make it more stable, more predictable," Putin said. "Together we've done a lot to achieve that, and I am sure we will work in this direction in the future."One of the memorandums of understanding is to develop a western route for the delivery of Russian gas, following the May agreement to supply 38 billion cubic meters of gas annually through an eastern route."Together we have carefully taken care of the tree of Russian-Chinese relations. Now fall has set in, it's harvest time," Xi said.The deals give Russia a way to vastly expand its market for its gas, which now goes mostly to Europe. For China, the world's second-largest economy, the cooperation helps ease gas shortages and curb its reliance on coal.

Obama urges China to be partner in ensuring world order-Reuters-By Matt Spetalnick and Michael Martina-NOV 10,14
BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday a successful China was in the interests of the United States and the world but Beijing had to be a partner in underwriting international order, and not undermine it.Referring to growing concerns among U.S. and other companies about the Chinese business environment after arriving in Beijing, Obama also urged China to reject the use of cyber theft for commercial gain and create a more level playing field where policy is not used for the benefit of some firms over others.Obama's trip to China for an Asia-Pacific summit comes at a time of growing China-U.S. friction, with Washington trying to expand American interests in Asia while Chinese President Xi Jinping demonstrates more willingness than his predecessors to demonstrate Beijing's clout on regional issues.The two countries have disagreed in recent months on a range of topics, including trade, maritime issues and cyber security, while the United States has lobbied against the creation of a multilateral infrastructure investment bank sponsored by China."Our message is that we want to see China successful," Obama told a news conference. "But, as they grow, we want them to be a partner in underwriting the international order, not undermining it."Obama and Xi will meet over dinner on Tuesday night and then for bilateral talks as part of an official state visit on Wednesday.In a deal that he said would improve trade and business ties between the world's two largest economies, Obama announced that China and the United States agreed to significantly extend the length of short-term tourist, business and student visas.But Obama also urged Beijing's leaders to create a fair market place for foreign firms."We look to China to create a more level playing field on which foreign companies are treated fairly, so that they can compete fairly with Chinese companies," he said in a speech to business leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum."We look to China to become an innovative economy that values the protection of intellectual property rights, and rejects cyber theft of trade secrets for commercial gain."Dozens of foreign firms, including U.S. companies such as Qualcomm Inc and Microsoft Corp, have come under scrutiny as China seeks to enforce a 2008 anti-monopoly law that some critics say is being used to unfairly target overseas businesses, raising protectionism concerns.Chinese regulators have defended their antitrust policies, saying foreign firms are not being targeted.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, OPEN INTERNET
Obama's focus on Asia business ties on the first day of his visit underscored his efforts to strike a balance between seeking deeper economic cooperation with a rising China while also challenging Beijing with the U.S. pursuit of a trans-Pacific trade pact that for now excludes the world's second-largest economy.Earlier, Obama said momentum was building on the ambitious 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), although U.S officials had ruled out a major announcement on the pact in Beijing.He urged China to move "definitively" to a more market-based exchange rate and to stand up for human rights and freedom of the press.Under the visa deal, which will take effect on Nov. 12, both countries would extend the terms of multiple entry short-term tourist and business visas to 10 years from one year, the White House said in a statement accompanying Obama's announcement. Student visas would be extended to five years from one year."As a result of this arrangement, the United States hopes to welcome a growing share of eligible Chinese travellers, inject billions (of dollars) in the U.S. economy and create enough demand to support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs," the White House statement said.The extension of some visas for Chinese nationals to 10 years matches what is currently allowed for citizens of nations with close relations with the United States, such as European countries and Brazil.A senior U.S. official said the visa agreement would allow the United States to tap into the fast-growing market of Chinese tourists travelling abroad. The United States now attracts only 2 percent of Chinese tourism."We see this as a really big win," the official said, estimating that the United States could gain 440,000 jobs by 2021 and receive an $85 billion annual infusion into the American economy as a result of the new policy.It will also make it easier for Chinese businesses and investors to get involved in U.S. projects.Major U.S. carriers United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines said the move would boost travel and lower costs for both countries."We support agreements that simplify travel and remove obstacles for our customers," United CEO Jeff Smisek said in a statement.(Writing by John Ruwitch; Editing by Jason Subler, Raju Gopalakrishnan and Ken Wills)
EU to unveil capital markets plan in 2015-06.11.14 @ 18:26-euobserver
BRUSSELS - The European Commission will unveil plans to harmonise the bloc's capital markets in 2015 and reduce the reliance of Europe's businesses on bank lending, the bloc's new financial services chief has revealed.Speaking at a conference of financial sector leaders and EU officials on Thursday (6 November), Jonathan Hill said that he would present an "action plan" by summer 2015 which would serve as a "roadmap to developing an ambitious capital markets union."The EU executive would also launch a public consultation involving the financial sector, politicians and NGOs, said Hill. "We still do not have a fully functioning single market for capital," he added.As the EU's new financial services commissioner, Hill has been tasked with developing a so-called capital markets union, one of Jean-Claude Juncker's main pledges during his successful campaign for the European Commission presidency.But although the program's name clearly echoes that of the bloc's banking union, politicians have been less able to pin down what it will mean in practice.Lawmakers are anxious to explore ways to make firms less reliant on banks, which currently provide 80 percent of business finance, and follow the example set in the US where companies get five times as much funding from capital markets as their EU counterparts. EU firms obtain only 20 percent of their investment from debt securities.Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs the monthly meetings of eurozone finance ministers, described it as "crucial" that the new regime feature a single European supervisor and the creation of a pan-European insolvency law.New rules in the EU and across the world have forced banks to boost the amount of capital they hold on their balance sheets, in a bid to make them less vulnerable to future financial crises.However, this, coupled with economic stagnation that exists across most of Europe, has made banks reluctant to increase their lending to businesses.But Hill indicated that the programme was not likely to be completed any time soon, describing it as a "long term project".The first priority will be for MEPs and ministers to agree on plans to create private European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs), to provide funds for firms that will need investment over a long period of time. Hill called on legislators to agree on the bill "before the end of the year".The commission would also focus on developing the EU's securities and bond markets to allow firms to raise money through these, and other financial instruments, whose use has dwindled since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.Re-building the bloc's securities and private bond markets is also a priority of the European Central Bank which launched programmes to buy packaged loans, known as asset-backed securities, and bonds earlier in the autumn.

US Catholic bishops try to calm anxiety over pope-Associated Press-By RACHEL ZOLL-NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
BALTIMORE (AP) — America's Catholic bishops came together Monday to project an image of unity, after a Vatican meeting on the family unleashed an uproar over the direction of the church.Last month's gathering in Rome on more compassionately ministering to families featured open debate — alarming many traditional Catholics, who argued it would undermine public understanding of church teaching. Pope Francis encouraged a free exchange of ideas at the assembly, or synod, in contrast to previous years, when such events were tightly scripted.At a meeting Monday in Baltimore, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, signaled there was no conflict between a gentler approach and upholding church orthodoxy. Kurtz cited his home visits to parishioners, where he wouldn't give them "a list of rules to follow firsthand," but would instead "spend time with them trying to appreciate the good that I saw in their hearts," before inviting them to follow Christ."Such an approach isn't in opposition to church teachings. It's an affirmation of them," said Kurtz, who attended the Vatican gathering.Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, who also participated in the Vatican gathering, emphasized that last month's meeting was only the start of a discussion before a larger gathering on the family next year, where bishops will more concretely advise the pope on developing any new church practices. New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the divisiveness he read in media accounts did not reflect the collegial discussion inside the event."It was a synod of consensus," Dolan said. The pope, he said, has a God-given gift "for attentive listening."The bishops made the remarks at their fourth national meeting since Francis was elected. While many Catholics have praised Francis' new emphasis on mercy over the culture wars, many theological conservatives have said Francis is failing to carry out his duty as defender of the faith. Some U.S. bishops have resisted turning their focus away from gay marriage, abortion and other contentious social issues to take up Francis' focus on the poor, immigrants and those who feel unwelcome in the church.The papal ambassador to Washington, Archbishop Carlo Vigano, said in a wide-ranging speech bishops "must not be afraid to work with our Holy Father."The public sessions at the U.S. bishops' meeting are focused on religious liberty, upholding marriage between a man and a woman, and moral issues in health care. In his speech, Kurtz said the bishops would continue to fight the Obama administration over the birth control coverage requirement in the Affordable Care Act, his signature health law. The administration has made several changes to accommodate the bishops' concerns, but church leaders say the White House hasn't gone far enough. Dozens of dioceses and Catholic nonprofits have sued over the mandate.At the Rome gathering, tensions arose when Vatican officials released a mid-meeting report that contained language more welcoming to gays and people in civil heterosexual unions. The language was not included in the final report.The Rev. Tom Rosica, a Vatican press office official for English-language media, attended the American bishops' assembly. He said an in interview that Catholic church leaders and lay people, as well as those outside the church, are reacting strongly to the Vatican meeting because they aren't accustomed to addressing issues the way Francis advocates."The pope made it clear doctrine would remain untouched," Rosica said.He said Francis "is traveling at high altitude," above the backlash to his leadership, as he tries to revive discussion and move the church forward.
11/ 8/2014 - vatican insider-Pope appoints Gallagher as Secretary for Relations with States, replaces Burke with Mamberti-Paul Richard Gallagher, the new Secretary for Relations with States-Pope appoints Archbishop Paul Gallagher, first ever Englishman as “Foreign Minister”, names Archbishop Dominque Mamberti to replace Cardinal Raymond Burke as “Chief Justice”gerard o'connell
rome-In a series of top level changes in the Roman Curia, Pope Francis has appointed the English-born Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher as Secretary for Relations with States – the third highest position in the Vatican.He succeeds the Moroccan-born Archbishop Dominque Mamberti who has held this post since 15 September 2006, whom the Pope has promoted to be Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Segnatura ( a position equivalent to that of a Chief Justice).Mamberti, a civil and canon lawyer, succeeds the American Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who has served in that role since 27 June 2008 but was not confirmed in the post after completing the statutory five year term of office. Cardinal Burke has been re-assigned to be Patron of the Sovereign Order of the Knights of Malta.Archbishop Gallagher is the first Englishman ever to hold such a position, and comes to this important role – the equivalent to that of a Foreign Minister - with thirty years of distinguished experience in the diplomatic service of the Holy See, in a wide variety of situations on all continents.The sixty-year old friendly, astute and courageous Gallagher, whose motto is “Walk humbly with God”, has served in the Holy See’s missions in Tanzania, Uruguay, the Philippines, as Observer at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and then as nuncio to Burundi, Guatemala and Australia, where he was at the time of his new appointment.He knows the Secretariat of State well having worked in its Second Section, which manages relations with states, from 1995 to 2000. In those years he worked alongside Pietro Parolin, now the Cardinal Secretary of State, so the two men know each other well. Gallagher is fluent in Italian, Spanish and French.Born in Liverpool, 23 January 1954, he studied at the city’s Jesuit St Francis Xavier’s College. Earlier this year, he told the archdiocese of Melbourne’s Kairos Catholic Journal that he felt the call to the priesthood in his teenage years, inspired by the words of Jesus, “what greater love has a man than to give his life for his friends.” Then, he said, “I thought if I give my life to the priesthood, to the Church, I would be doing that as an act of love to my friends. That was really the roots of my becoming a priest.”He contemplated joining the Jesuits or Benedictines, but settled for the diocesan priesthood after participating in a vocations program in the Liverpool archdiocese. He was sent to study for the priesthood at Rome’s Jesuit-run Gregorian University, while residing at the Venerable English College, and there obtained good degrees in philosophy, theology and – later- canon law. He was ordained priest for the archdiocese of Liverpool on 31 July 1977, and was then assigned to work in a parish at Fazackley.Some years later, he was called back to Rome to study for the Holy See’s diplomatic service at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. He became the first-ever English priest to graduate from that academy and rise through the ranks to become a nuncio (that is, ambassador of the Holy See).He told Kairos Catholic Journal that he felt attracted to working in the diplomatic field of the Holy See “because I had always been interested in politics as a kid, so I thought maybe it could be something useful.”After joining the Holy See’s diplomatic service on 1 May 1984, he was sent first to work in its diplomatic mission (nunciature) in Tanzania, and afterwards in Uruguay. He was subsequently assigned to the mission in Manila, the Philippines, and was there for the 1995 World Youth Day with John Paul II. Soon after, the Polish pope called Gallagher to the Vatican to work at the Secretariat of State, in the Section for Relations with States, then headed by the French Archbishop (now cardinal) Jean-Louis Tauran.On 15 July 2000, John Paul II appointed him as Permanent Observer to the Council of Europe. There he succeeded the Irish-born Archbishop Michael Courtney who was sent as nuncio to Burundi, where he was assassinated in 2003. Gallagher also succeeded Courtney as nuncio in Burundi in 2004. That posting was a dangerous one as he sought to encourage the fragile peace process after a civil war that caused the death of some 300,000 people. During the last year of his service in Burundi rebel forces hit the nunciature by mistake when they opened fire on the nearby presidential palace; the shells caused damage to the building but fortunately no lives were lost.Archbishop Gallagher was transferred from Burundi to Guatemala as nuncio in 2009, a country that was still recovering from one of Central America’s longest and bloodiest civil wars (1960-1996) that caused the deaths of more than 200,000 people – most of them indigenous people, and the disappearances of some 40-50,000 others, most of whom are still unaccounted for.Thanks to the persistence of Church in Guatemala, and especially the work of the assassinated Bishop Juan Gerardi (1998) and human rights groups, with the help of the courts, the United Nations and the International Community in the Peace Process, the truth began to emerge, justice began to be implemented and peace was consolidated. Archbishop Gallagher sought to support the unfolding of this important chapter in a land where there is still much poverty and insecurity. He also sought to help the local church and population when natural disasters struck during his time there.In late 2012, months before his resignation, Benedict XVI appointed Gallagher as nuncio to Australia, a religiously diverse country of over 22 million people, where. Christianity is the main religion and Roman Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination, with some 26% of the people declaring themselves Catholic.The English-born nuncio arrived in Australia at a particularly delicate moment when the Catholic Church was once again under the public spotlight for the way it dealt with the sexual abuse of minors by priests in past decades. Parliamentary inquiries were under way in the states of Victoria and New South Wales and a national Royal Commission would soon investigate how the various institutions in the country, both private and public, responded to allegations of child abuse.“I expected a very enjoyable, stimulating, challenging mission, but one that was going to be overshadowed by the scandals of sexual abuse and the Royal Commission, and other inquiries like the Newcastle and Victorian parliamentary inquiries; and that has proven to be the case,” he told Kairos Journal last March.Archbishop Gallagher arrived in Australia two weeks before Pope Francis was elected, but he has met the Argentine-born pontiff twice since then: first, at a gathering of all the nuncios in June 2013 and again when he came to the Vatican during his annual visit in November of that same year.“Pope Francis has reinstated the practice of the Pope receiving the nuncios, which is very much appreciated by all the nuncios. We had a very wonderful exchange of 20-25 minutes. He was very spontaneous, very interested”, he told Kairos Journal.He spoke about his visit with the Argentine-born pope as a very spiritual encounter. “Going to see Pope Francis is a bit like going to spiritual direction. I think he sees his role is to listen to you, understand the problems and maybe give some reactions, but also to encourage you. We certainly do feel encouraged by the time and attention he has given to us”, he stated.As Secretary for Relations with States Archbishop Gallagher is head of the Second Section of the Secretariat of State. He will work very closely with Pope Francis in relations with heads of government, and with relations, especially those of a diplomatic nature, with states and other subjects of public international law.Note: The article was first published in America magazine, and is published here with permission
11/10/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-The impact of the Synod effect on US bishops-Joseph Edward Kurtz-andrea tornielli
vatican city-“When I'd come to someone's home, I wouldn't start by telling them how I'd rearrange their furniture. In the same way, I wouldn't begin by giving them a list of rules to follow.” This was one of the phrases the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Archbishop of Louisville, Joseph Edward Kurtz, used in his opening speech at the USCCB’s General Assembly in Baltimore. The “Synod effect” that resonates through his words, is the awareness that the Christian message begins with accompaniment and closeness, not with the presentation of a set of rules and doctrines on the basis of which people are to judge the lives of others.“We can restore hope in marriage by calling forth such witnesses to help one another, and to help us accompany and encourage families with practical, on-the-ground support. We can work to better convey St. John Paul II's remarkable vision of marriage and family life as developed in his theology of the body,” the Archbishop explained.“And because, as St. John Paul II put it, "the Church is a home and a family for everyone, especially those who 'labor and are heavy laden,” we must especially seek out those who suffer under the weight of the difficulties faced by families today, remembering to see the person first, walking with them and pointing the way toward God.”“We all strive to be faithful pastors, so we know what this looks like. Think of the home visits we've all done in parishes. When I'd come to someone's home, I wouldn't start by telling them how I'd rearrange their furniture. In the same way, I wouldn't begin by giving them a list of rules to follow,” Kurtz went on to say.“Instead I'd first spend time with them, trying to appreciate the good that I saw in their hearts,” the President of the USCCB added. “I'd acknowledge that, like them, I was in the process of conversion toward greater holiness. I would then invite them to follow Christ and I'd offer to accompany them as we, together, follow the Gospel invitation to turn from sin and journey along the way. Such an approach isn't in opposition to Church teachings; it's an affirmation of them. Our call as bishops is to bring the Good News to others as true missionary disciples, inspiring them to go forth and do the same.”Archbishop Kurtz began his speech quoting an Italian newspaper La Repubblica’s Vatican correspondent Paolo Rodari, whom he met during the Synod, not to be interviewed to share experiences. Both the bishop and the journalist have siblings with Down’s Syndrome. Kurtz asked Rodari: "Is Giovanni hard to understand?" Paolo nodded. "But do you understand him?" I asked. Paolo smiled and nodded again. Paolo has learned to understand Giovanni, because they're family,” the Archbishop said.A new approach therefore emerged today. An approach which does not question faith-related truths but instead focuses on encounter, listening and accompanying before judging or feeding people sets of rules. This is the Synod effect, the Francis effect.
11/ 9/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Mamberti takes over from Burke and Gallagher is Vatican’s new “foreign affairs minister”-Paul Richard Gallagher (centre)-Paul Gallagher is currently Nuncio to Australia. The current secretary for Relations with States now becomes Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, replacing the conservative American acrdinal who will go on to lead the Knights of Malta-andrea tornielli
vatican city-Following Parolin’s appointment a year ago, Francis has made another key change to the structure of the Vatican Secretary of State: the current Secretary for Relations with States, Corsican Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, is being promoted as head of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura: he replaces Cardinal Raymond Burke who in turn is being transferred to the Order of the Knights of Malta. Burke himself confirmed his nomination in an interview given during the recent Synod.The new Vatican “foreign affairs minister” who succeeds Mamberti is Paul Richard Gallagher, Titular Archbishop of Hodelm (an old Scottish diocese that was closed down), was born in Liverpool on 23 January 1954 and is currently Apostolic Nuncio to Australia. Gallagher was appointed Nuncio in Burundi and consecrated as a Bishop in 2004. From 2009 to the end of 2012 – before he took over his post in Australia – he was Papal Representative in Guatemala.Gallagher was born in the same neighbourhood where the Beatles kick-started their career. He was a priest in the Diocese of Liverpool in 1977, began by serving as an assistant to the parish priest in the Holy Name Church and was chaplain at Fazakerley hospital. He graduated with a degree in Canon Law and entered the Holy See’s diplomatic service in 1984. Before being appointed Apostolic Nuncio he served the Vatican diplomatic missions in Tanzania, Uruguay, the Philippines and soon the Council of Europe.As a Nuncio in Burundi, Gallagher succeeded Irish Archbishop Michal Aidan Courtney, a great peace campaigner during the civil war, who was murdered on 29 December 2003. He also survived a bomb explosion in his residence. Nominated by Benedict XVI, to serve first in Guatemala and then in Australia, he presented his letters of credence in Canberra on 30 April 2013.The Vatican’s new “foreign affairs minister” has a diplomatic experience spanning five continents: most recently in Oceania, previously in Latin America and Africa and before this in Asia and Europe. He worked in the Secretariat of State for five years and so is well-versed in the workings of the Curia. He has also collaborated with the current Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin. Gallagher speaks English, Spanish, French and Italian.He is said to be a competent prelate who is not part of any clique and has served well in all positions he has been appointed to so far.

Catalonia: 1.6mn vote for independent state-10.11.14 @ 09:25-EUOBSERVER-By Peter Teffer
Brussels - Over 1.6 million Catalans voted in favour of independence on Sunday (9 November) in an informal poll.More than 80 percent of the 2 million people that cast a vote in the consultation, answered Yes to both questions: “Do you want Catalonia to be a state? If so, do you want this state to be independent?”. Another 10 percent said they wanted Catalonia to be a state but remain part of Spain, while 4.5 percent voted No to both questions.But the vote was non-binding after Spain's constitutional court forbade Catalonia to hold a formal referendum.Sunday's vote was also illicit after the court calls for its suspension pending an analysis on whether it breached the Spanish constitution.Meanwhile, many Catalans who are against independence stayed at home, and there was no coherent No campaign.With a turnout of 2 million people, the vote shows a substantial portion of the Catalans had the will to express themselves on the future of their region.Because the vote was informal, it is difficult to determine what the official voter turnout percentage will be. But Spanish daily El Pais estimated 32.8 percent.The result of the poll will strengthen the independence movement in Catalonia and the call for an official referendum down the line.Catalan president Artur Mas called the vote a “success” and said the independence movement made a “giant step” towards a binding referendum.The result shows “Catalonia wants to govern itself”, he noted, according to Spanish media.He announced that he will explain on Tuesday (11 November) what next steps the movement will take. He also called on Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy to organise a referendum.At the same time in Madrid, justice minister Rafael Catala called Sunday's vote “useless”.“The government considers this to be a day of political propaganda organised by pro-independence forces and devoid of any kind of democratic validity”, he said in a statement.The European Commission, for its part, said the vote was an internal matter. “It is not the role of the commission to express an opinion” on the poll, said spokesperson Margaritas Schinas.The vote was organised by about 40,000 volunteers.It came after the recently-held independence referendum in Scotland which saw Scots choose to remain part of the UK.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-21
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

Russian military trying to intimidate Nato, report says-Today @ 09:27-NOV 10,14-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Russia has, in parallel with its war on Ukraine, instigated almost 40 “highly disturbing” anti-Nato incidents, a new British report says.The survey - Dangerous Brinkmanship, by the London-based think-tank ELN, out on Monday (10 November) - notes that what happened to flight MH17 over Ukraine in July almost happened over Sweden three months earlier.It says that on 3 March an SAS 737 passenger jet, carrying 132 people from Copenhagen to Rome, had a near miss close to Malmo, Sweden, with a Russian reconaissance plane which had failed to transmit its position.It adds that “major loss of life” was avoided only due to “good visibility and the alertness of the passenger pilots”.It lists 11 other “serious incidents” which risked “escalation”.On 12 April, a Russian fighter jet made 12 “agressive” passes over a US warship in the Black Sea, while the next day a Russian jet undertook “threatening manoeuvres” next to a US reconaissance plane over the Sea of Okhotsk.In June, armed Russian bombers simulated an attack on the Danish island of Bornholm. On 16 July, an armed Russian jet flew within 10 metres of a Swedish surveillance plane in international airspace in the Baltic region. Two days later, Russian jets also “chased” a US reconaissance plane into Swedish airspace.In early September, Russian strategic bombers near Canada “practiced cruise missile strikes” on the US and Russian jets “buzzed” a Canadian frigate in the Black Sea.Later the same month, two Russian bombers entered Swedish airspace near the Oland island, while in October a Russian jet came “within metres” of crashing into a Swedish surveillance plane over the Baltic Sea.The ELN report classifies the rest of the incidents as “near-routine” in terms of how Russia and Nato test and shadow each other’s capabilities.But it notes that the “increased number” of events from the Russian side in the past eight months is “adding to an atmosphere of tension”.Some of them, while “near-routine” for specialists, are also likely to cause fear in civilian onlookers.In one almost-normal incident, on 10 April, two Russian naval ships entered Lithuania’s maritime zone during a Russian “live-fire” drill, causing “serious disruptions” to commercial shipping.In other figures, the ELN paper says that up to October this year Nato jets carried out more than 100 “intercepts” of Russian military aircraft - three times the whole number for last year.Nato “air-police” also carried out 68 “hot identification and interdiction” operations on the Lithuanian border alone. Latvia recorded more than 150 incidents of Russian planes approaching its airspace, while Russian aircraft violated Estonian air on six occasions.The report notes that Russian armed forces “seem to have been authorised and encouraged” to act in a “much more aggressive” way toward Nato and to non-Nato Western allies Finland and Sweden.It says Russia’s actions amount to “intimidation and coercion” of its neighbours, sending the message, for instance, to Finland and Sweden that there will be “more harassment” if they join the Western military alliance.It notes Russia is trying to “undermine the confidence” of Baltic states that Nato is capable of defending them.With the West hesitating to arm the Ukrainian military in its war with Russian regular and irregular forces, Russia is also trying to show it “has the means and the willingness to confront Nato … in the even of a conflict”.Meanwhile, the air acrobatics are meant to serve Kremlin “propaganda” and “boost” Russian military “morale” in the face a technologically superior adversary.The ELN authors urge Russia to cool off and urge Nato to increase military-to-military diplomacy and transparency.They warn that if, in future, an incident leads to loss of life on either side, it could prompt “punitive military action” and “feed a spiral” of confrontation between “a nuclear-armed state and a nuclear-armed alliance” which “may be difficult for either side to fully control or stop”.
Kasparov: Stop Putin now or pay the price later-09.11.14 @ 17:03-EUOBSERVER-By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - Chess legend Garry Kasparov was once the pride of the Soviet Union.But 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall he lives in exile, accusing Russian leader Vladimir Putin of “strategic failure” and the EU establishment of “ignorance” in its dealings with Moscow.Kasparov, who spoke to EUobserver on the eve of the Berlin Wall anniversary, said he will never forget the date it fell - 9 November 1989 - “because on that same day, four years earlier, I had just won the world [chess] championship”.The end of the wall has come to symbolise the end of the Cold War.But for Kasparov, who gave up chess to become an opposition activist, Europe risks entering another dark chapter in history.“What we are seeing in Russia is a resurgence of imperialism and nationalism in its most dangerous form,” he said, comparing Russia's actions in Ukraine and Putin's domestic propaganda to Nazi Germany on the eve of World War II.“Just read what Putin has been saying in his [anti-West] speeches in the past year”.“It’s 24/7 brainwashing of the Russian people … pure lies”.With the EU and US imposing economic sanctions on Russia over its war on Ukraine, Kasparov said the West is more powerful than it thinks.“Russian gas is one third of EU consumption. But Russia sells 80 percent of its oil and gas to Europe … If it all stopped, parts of the EU would freeze, but the Russian economy would fall apart”, he noted.“The leverage is on the European side”.Recalling European appeasement of Hitler when he annexed Austria in 1938, Kasparov said it would also cost less to stop Putin now than at a later stage.But he added that some in the EU elite “don’t care about Ukraine and want to return to business as usual [with Russia]” for political or business reasons.Italy and France have voiced doubt on keeping the sanctions in place.But Kasparov reserved his sharpest words for Hungarian PM Viktor Orban and Czech president Milos Zeman, the most vocal sanctions critics, whose countries once rose up against Soviet oppression.“They are committing crimes against the histories of their own nations. It’s an insult to the people who died in 1956 or 1968 from Soviet tanks, just as people in Ukraine are dying today”, Kasparov said.
Business as usual
The business-as-usual attitude is not limited to some EU chancelleries.In a courtroom in Lyon, France, on 17 October judges listened to French public prosecutor Christian Ponsard argue why France should extradite Mukhtar Ablyazov - an opposition figure from Moscow's ally, Kazakhstan - to Russia.They also listened to Denis Grunis, a Russian prosecutor.They refused to listen to a group of activists, including Kasparov, who had travelled to the hearing.They then agreed, on 24 October, to hand over Ablyazov on grounds that Russia had followed legal due process.They did it despite the fact the Russian judge behind the extradition request, Alexey Krivoruchko, is on a US and European Parliament blacklist for his part in the torture and death in 2009 of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian anti-corruption activist.The Lyon court and Ponsard declined to comment when contacted by EUobserver.But Kasparov took note of Ponsard’s remarks on 17 October that Russia is a “reliable partner” and that Ablyazov "will face no risk of an unfair trial, or ... other mistreatment”. When asked by EUobserver why he thinks Lyon bowed to Moscow, Kasparov blamed “ignorance” and “arrogance”.He said Western mass media and politicians, who still meet with “president” Putin and his top cadre, have created a false image of Russia as “being somehow a normal, democratic country, albeit with a few deviations, but not as bad as, say, North Korea, or even China”.He noted that the image trickles down to institutions, like judiciaries.He accused the French judges of “arrogance” because, he said, they prefer to deal with their equals in Russian officialdom instead of civil society.“Governments prefer to deal with governments. Judges with judges. There’s a general approach that if Russia has signed all the technical documents, ticked all the boxes, then why bother listening to a few individuals who are known to be in the opposition?”.He described the Ablyazov case as “emblematic”.Interpol, the international police body which is also based in Lyon, and Europol, its EU equivalent in The Hague, likewise co-operate with Russia on law enforcement.British, Dutch, French, German and US energy firms and banks do business in Russia where they can.Fifa, the world football authority, still plans to hold the World Cup there in 2018.“There is an indifference in the West to Putin’s abuse of power and to Russia’s total degradation of its own courts and legal system … The West is still willing to negotiate compromises and to sacrifice individuals for the sake of bigger deals”, Kasparov said.
Putin’s Russia
In an insight into daily life under Putin, Kasparov, a 51-year old of Armenian-Jewish origin, spoke to EUobserver from the US because he doesn’t feel safe to go home to Russia.“I could go back. But I don’t think they'd let me leave: It would be a one-way ticket”, he said.He noted that he has never been threatened. But he said Russian security services tend to strike their victims instead of making threats.“You suddenly find yourself being interrogated and put behind bars. At best”.He pointed to Alexei Devotchenko, a well-known Russian actor and Putin critic, whose dead body was, on 5 November, found in his Moscow apartment amid signs of violence.“I can’t tell you he was murdered for political reasons. But if something like this happens in Russia, you have to at least suspect Putin’s cronies”, Kasparov said.“I can bet you, in any case, the police will never find those who did it”.He noted that lawlessness at the bottom comes from lawlessness at the top.“Putin has showed [by attacking Ukraine] that he has no respect for international treaties”.“He has nothing to brag about at home - oil prices are low, the ruble is collapsing, the economy is stagnant - so the only thing he can offer to Russian people is fear of an outside enemy and fantasies of imperial greatness”, Kasparov said.Looking back at his former role as a Soviet champion, he said Russian people are still receptive to nationalist propaganda.“The collapse of the Soviet Union was painful. But, unlike in Germany, there was no process of reconciliation or lustration, of cleansing society of former Communist apparatchiks, and, most importantly, of the KGB”, he noted, referring to the Russian intelligence service, now called the FSB, where Putin began his career.“The KGB remains a massive force in society”.“There is no recognition of the fundamental sickness of the old system and of the crimes that the KGB committed inside Russia’s borders”, he added.“The fact that Russia paid no real price for annexing Crimea has created a certain euphoria”.
Mad dog tactics
Kasparov’s advice to EU policy makers is to play the long game against the Kremlin.He said the sanctions regime is damaging Putin’s standing inside the Russian elite.“Europe must keep its resolve and must maintain the sanctions. Putin is gambling that they are temporary. He is telling his inner circle that they will be lifted in the next six or eight months”.“It’s important to send the message that they won't be lifted and to give full support to Ukraine. Body language is very important. But we are not seeing the right body language from the West”, he added.He noted that EU states and the US have refused to arm the Ukrainian military because of Putin’s “mad dog” tactics.The Russian leader’s wild comments that he could invade Poland and his bombers' skirting of Nato airspace have caused fear that if he is cornered he might escalate the conflict.“But the mad dog in politics is not the same as the mad dog in the street”, Kasparov said.“The more ground you cede to Putin, the more dangerous he becomes … tomorrow the price of stopping him will go up. The day after it will be even higher”.“There is a serious risk that he will do in [Nato member] Estonia what he is doing in Ukraine. Then we might hear the same voices we are hearing now: ‘Why should we die for some country we can hardly identify on the map?’ And that will be the end of Nato”.The Russian ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, once told this website that Kasparov is “a great chess player, but a lousy politician”. Kasparov retorted: “I don’t need him to tell me if I’m good at chess. But I can tell him there is no such thing as ‘politicians’ in Putin’s one-man dictatorship”.Asked by EUobserver if Putin is a good strategist, the chess champion said “any dictator who keeps power for 15 years deserves some credit” for his cunning.But he noted that seven-or-so years ago, when Putin handed power to then-president Dmitry Medvedev, Russia appeared to be on a path of modernisation and reform.“He [Putin] could have walked away on a high point”, Kasparov said.“He could have had a good name in history. But now he is being compared to Hitler - you tell me if that’s a strategic success or a major strategic failure, even if there is some tactical success”.
Iran and West end round of nuclear talks, outcome unclear-Reuters-By Warren Strobel -NOV 10,14-YAHOONEWS
MUSCAT (Reuters) - Iran, the United States and the European Union ended two days of high-level talks on Tehran's nuclear program on Monday with no immediate sign they had bridged gaps ahead of a Nov. 24 deadline for an agreement.A senior Iranian official told Reuters that minimal progress was made in the talks in Oman. "After hours of talks, we could make little progress," the official said. "Still differences remain and still we have gaps over issues."In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the talks among Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU envoy Catherine Ashton had been "tough, direct and serious."She gave no further details, but said that they were "continuing to chip away at a very challenging issue."Kerry was leaving Oman late on Monday for an Asia-Pacific meeting in Beijing. Diplomats from Iran and the "P5+1" countries - the five U.N. Security Council members, plus Germany - were due to resume talks in Muscat on Tuesday ahead of a last-ditch push in Vienna next week to meet the Nov. 24 deadline.The discussions aim to yield an accord that would put verifiable limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment work - and any other potential path to a nuclear weapon - in return for a gradual lifting of sanctions.As they had begun an evening session of the closed-door talks at a luxury hotel, Kerry and Zarif were cautious. Asked whether the negotiating teams were making progress, Kerry merely replied: "We are working hard. We are working hard."
Said Zarif: "We will eventually."
U.S. President Barack Obama said in a CBS television interview there was still a big gap between Iran and Western powers and said a deal could be out of reach.Economic sanctions led by the United States have pushed Iran to the table for a deal on its nuclear program, Obama said.A final step would involve Iran providing "verifiable, lock- tight assurances that they can't develop a nuclear weapon", he said. "There's still a big gap. We may not be able to get there."Western countries suspect Iran has secretly attempted to acquire the means to build nuclear weapons.Iran says it wants peaceful nuclear energy only, but has refused to curb enrichment capacity and has been hit by damaging U.S., EU and U.N. Security Council sanctions.The toughest outstanding issues are the size of Iran's enrichment program, the length of any final accord and the pace at which sanctions would be phased out, diplomats say.(Additional reporting by Parisa Hafezi and Fatma Al-Arimi, Editing by William Maclean, Dominic Evans and Bernard Orr)
