Russia is deploying advanced aerial weapon systems to the Arctic-Jeremy Bender-Jun. 22, 2015, 10:23 AM-businessinsider.com

In continuation of a militarizing trend, Russia will deploy advanced aerial weapons systems to the Arctic, according to the deputy commander of Russia’s Aerospace Defense Forces.Speaking on June 20, Deputy Commander Kirill Makarov told RIA Novosti that the Kremlin will deploy fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missile systems, and radar systems to islands off the Russian coast in the Arctic."This is all done to the Russian Federation to defend its interests around the perimeter of our state, but also the interests in the Arctic," Makarov said according to a translation done by Google.The deployment of advanced aerospace technology to the Arctic is in keeping with a Russian drive to militarize the region as part of a new military strategy that was signed into place by the Kremlin in December 2014. In addition to the Arctic, Russia has placed particular emphasis on militarizing the Crimean peninsula and the Russian Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.Since the new military doctrine has gone into effect, Moscow has undertaken a militarization and construction blitz throughout the Arctic. Russia is constructing ten Arctic search-and-rescue stations, 16 deepwater ports, 13 airfields, and ten air-defense radar stations across its Arctic coast.

Russia Militarization ArcticThe Heritage Foundation

Once completed, this construction will "permit the use of larger and more modern bombers," Mark Galeotti, a New York University professor specializing on Russia, writes for The Moscow Times. "By 2025, the Arctic waters are to be patrolled by a squadron of next-generation stealthy PAK DA bombers."
Simultaneously, Moscow has created Joint Strategic Command North (JSCN) from components of the Northern Fleet in order to maintain a permanent military presence in the region. It is likely that this command will become a fifth Russian military district.The command will ultimately feature an air-defense division, two Arctic mechanized brigades, a naval infantry brigade, a coastal defense missile system, and the placement of missile regiments in outlying archipelagos in the Arctic Ocean.h/t Aki Heikkinen.

U.S. pledges troops, equipment for NATO rapid response force-Reuters By Phil Stewart-June 22, 2015 2:44 PM-YAHOONEWS

MUENSTER, Germany (Reuters) - The United States said on Monday it would contribute special operations forces, intelligence and other high-end military assets to a new NATO rapid response force that aims in part to deter any future actions by Russia.U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter made the announcement during a trip to Germany, where he delivered an address accusing Moscow of trying to re-create a Soviet-era sphere of influence."We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia. We do not seek to make Russia an enemy," Carter said in an address in Berlin. "But make no mistake: we will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it affords us all."Russia's intervention over Ukraine has put NATO allies in eastern Europe on edge and triggered a series of military moves by the NATO alliance, including an acceleration of exercises and the creation of a Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF).Moscow denies providing troops or arms to pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. But neighboring NATO countries, especially the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, fear Russia could foment trouble on their territories.Carter, who met European members of the VJTF in Muenster, Germany before flying to Estonia, said he was preparing to discuss planned U.S. contributions to the force with NATO defense chiefs later this week in Brussels.The U.S. support would include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets -- which can include drones or manned aircraft -- as well as special operations forces, logistical expertise and high-end U.S. military assets.Carter also said it would include airlift and precision joint fire capabilities, which could include anything from land-based artillery to air support or naval firepower."We're making this commitment to the VJTF because the United States is deeply committed to the collective defense of Europe," Carter said, speaking alongside his Dutch, German and Norwegian counterparts in Muenster.Although many of the contributions announced on Monday could be drawn from within Europe, a defense official said the announcement could mean a temporary increase in U.S. forces in Europe in a crisis situation.Still, U.S. defense officials stressed that the United States was mainly providing high-end support to enable European land forces that form the bulk of the VJTF.

RUSSIAN REACTION

During his trip this week, Carter will climb aboard a U.S. warship in Estonia fresh from Baltic Sea drills. He could offer more details in Europe this week on plans to pre-position heavy military equipment, officials say.Moscow has decried the new steps by NATO and threatened to strengthen its own forces and to add more than 40 intercontinental ballistic missiles to its nuclear arsenal this year.U.S. officials say Ukraine has illustrated the importance of being able to counter "hybrid warfare", the blend of unidentified troops, propaganda and economic pressure that the West says Russia has used there.Moscow accuses the West of engineering the overthrow of a pro-Kremlin president last year in order to bring Kiev under its sway and try to isolate Russia.NATO's historic focus had been the conventional threats of the Cold War, which effectively ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. But Carter said NATO "will not rely on the Cold War playbook", citing instead a combination of military and non-military tools, including sanctions.European Union foreign ministers extended economic sanctions on Russia until Jan. 31 on Monday, keeping up pressure on Moscow to help resolve the Ukraine conflict.Carter encouraged Europe to keep up the sanctions -- which he called the best tool -- for as long as it takes to change Russia's calculations."The United States will not let Russia drag us back to the past," he said.(Reporting by Phil Stewart; phillip.stewart@thomsonreuters.com; 1-202-898-8398; Reuters -Messaging:Phillip.stewart.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net Editing by Ralph Boulton/Hugh Lawson)

Joint statement by the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker-Last updated: 16 Jun. 2015 16:25

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg meets with the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker-The EU and NATO are unique and essential partners who share common values and strategic interests. We work side by side in crisis management operations, capability development and political consultations to support international peace and security.Our cooperation is particularly important in the context of declining defence budgets in many of our Member States. We need to strengthen the potential of our strategic partnership to minimise unnecessary duplication and maximise cost-effectiveness.We welcome efforts both by NATO Allies and EU members to enhance their defence capabilities and, in this respect, we support continuing close cooperation and complementarity between the two organizations. A stronger European Defence will contribute to a stronger NATO.We look forward to the June European Council taking decisive steps in this regard.

EU navies take up position in Mediterranean By Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 22. Jun, 18:36-Italy’s largest aircraft carrier, the Cavour, is spearheading an EU-led naval operation to monitor and then crush migrant smugglers in the Mediterranean.More than a dozen military assets including warships, helicopters, reconnaissance planes, submarines, and drones are also moving into position near Libya as part of a risky operation called EUnavfor Med.Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the UK are supplying the weapons.Speaking to reporters in Luxembourg on Monday (22 June), the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the first phase will be launched in the next few days.“This covers information gathering and patrolling on the high seas to support the detection and monitoring of smuggling networks”, she said.She noted that the targets are not migrants but “those who are making money on their lives and too often on their deaths”.The formal announcement comes just two days after World Refugee day.Estimates suggest the majority of those making the perilous sea journey this year are from wartorn countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Syria.Over 50,000 made it to Italy so far, with most being plucked from the sea by merchant vessels (14,769) compared to the EU’s Triton mission (3,483), according to the Italian coast guard.But fears are mounting that the EU’s naval campaign could put people in the cross-fire.Libya has no functional government but was still able to launch jet fighter attacks on an oil tanker near the city of Sirte earlier this year. In January, a Greek-operated oil tanker was also bombed in Libya's Islamic State-held port of Derna.The EU is hoping for a UN Security Council resolution to scale up its operation, allowing EUnavfor Med to move into Libyan waters, but is meeting resistance from China and Russia.It also wants a unity government formed in Libya to help resolve the issue.“I think it is quite clear that on one side the work in the UN and the work on the ground in Libya to reach a unity government go somehow in parallel. Our work on the naval operation can in any case start within the limits of international law,” said Mogherini.The operation’s intelligence gathering phase is the first of three phases. The second and third phase involve the search and seizure of boats and are the most risky in terms of possible causalities.The Cavour, commanded by rear admiral Enrico Credendino, has also been cleared of jet fighters to make space for a “robust hospital”.“In phase one, we will not operate fighter aircraft”, said a senior EU diplomat.He said the Cavour was chosen because “we need a big command control platform”.The EU senior diplomat said the naval operation “will not enter the territorial water of Libya in phase one" but noted mission planners were prepared for whatever events could take place.“We also need to think of the unthinkable”, he said.With up to 1,000 people taking part, EUnavfor Med is to cost the EU €11.8 million over its first two months. It is based in Rome and will be in full swing sometime early July.

US to deploy heavy weapons on NATO's eastern flank-AFP By Mike Collier with Dmitry Zaks in Kiev-JUNE 23,15-YAHOONEWS

Tallinn (AFP) - The US will deploy heavy weapons in central and eastern Europe for the first time, Washington said Tuesday, in the midst of the worst stand-off between Russia and the West since the Cold War, triggered by the crisis in Ukraine."We will temporarily stage one armoured brigade combat team's vehicles and associated equipment in countries in central and eastern Europe," US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said at a joint press conference with three Baltic defence ministers on the eve of NATO ministerial talks."This pre-positioned European activity set includes tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery," he said, adding that Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland had "agreed to host company- to battalion-sized elements of this equipment" which would be "moved around the region for training and exercises.""While we do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia, we will defend our allies," Carter added.The Pentagon said the deployment of 250 heavy weaponry would include 90 Abrams tanks, 140 Bradley armoured vehicles, and 20 self-propelled howitzers."The American move sends a signal to Russia, US allies and other global powers that the US is a leading global military power able to counter Russian threats in the region -- that it's not a power in decline," Marcin Terlikowski, a security analyst with the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM), told AFP.The US announcement comes as NATO vowed Monday to step up its military presence in eastern Europe against the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine.
Ukrainian rebels on Tuesday accused government forces of killing three civilians in attacks launched hours before the start of crunch talks in Paris on ways to halt the 15-month separatist war.Kiev's Western-backed military command meanwhile reported the death of one soldier and accused the pro-Russian rebels of heavy mortar and artillery fire.The ongoing bloodshed underscores a repeated failure by diplomats to find a way out of a crisis that has killed 6,500 people in a little over a year.Entering the Paris talks, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the recent deaths "shows that the ceasefire isn't just fragile but that the daily violations are becoming more frequent.""Without a ceasefire, all the other factors won't come together," warned the minister ahead of talks with his French, Russian and Ukrainian counterparts.

- Flexing muscle -

In response to the conflict, and Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, NATO is flexing its muscles in Poland and the Baltic states.The alliance is carrying out a series of drills focused on its new spearhead force, which is designed to boost security on the group's eastern flank.Attending exercises in Poland last week, NATO head Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance was "implementing the biggest reinforcement of our collective defences since the end of the Cold War".Reports about US plans to deploy heavy weapons to eastern Europe had prompted Moscow to announce that it would in turn expand its nuclear arsenal.Putin accused the US-led alliance of "coming to our borders".NATO member Poland gave a pessimistic assessment of the situation last week, saying the post-Cold War peace in Europe was "now over" -- alluding to both the Ukraine conflict and terrorism.Under Moscow's thumb in Soviet times, the three Baltic states last month asked NATO to deploy several thousand permanent troops in their region as a deterrent to Russia.But some European NATO allies, like Germany, have been sceptical about any substantial permanent deployment, saying it could breach a 1997 agreement between NATO and Russia.That agreement however does not appear to rule out temporary NATO troop rotations or pre-positioning alliance equipment along its eastern flank.Speaking to journalists in Brussels on Tuesday, US ambassador to NATO Douglas Lute explained that Washington would only be deploying heavy equipment, without troops."The tanks are empty, the … vehicles are empty, and will be parked, stored and maintained in training areas across the six Eastern most allies for training purposes," Lute said."Then the soldiers, on exercise after exercise, will be flown in .. they'll exercise with their allies."Defence ministers from NATO's 28 member states will meet in Brussels on Wednesday to further discuss ways of meeting security challenges.

Eurozone should have own treasury by 2025 By Peter Teffer-EUOBSERVER

Brussels, 22. Jun, 09:28-Eurozone states should cede more powers to EU institutions, including to a euro area treasury to be set-up in the next 10 years, according to a new report on further integration in the single currency area published on Monday (22 June)."The world’s second largest economy cannot be managed through rule-based cooperation alone," says the report, drawn up by the heads of the European Commission, the EU Council, Eurogroup, the European Parliament and the European Central Bank (ECB).
The eurozone “will need to shift from a system of rules and guidelines for national economic policy-making to a system of further sovereignty sharing within common institutions, most of which already exist and can progressively fulfil this task," it adds."In practice, this would require member states to accept increasingly joint decision-making on elements of their respective national budgets and economic policies."The report, entitled 'Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union', comes on the same day that finance ministers and their government leaders of the euro area will meet to debate the Greek debt crisis, amidst renewed fear of a Greek exit from the eurozone.The report refers to a “common destiny [which] requires solidarity in times of crisis and respect for commonly agreed rules from all members” and that those in the eurozone have given up their national currencies "once and for all".The financial and economic crisis has “forced national governments and EU institutions to take quick and extraordinary steps”, but “the quick fixes of recent years need to be turned into a lasting, fair and democratically legitimate basis for the future”.The report contains both medium- and long-term measures.In the next two years, by 30 June 2017, each country should create a 'competitive authority', “a national body in charge of tracking performance and policies in the field of competitiveness”.These bodies should be “independent entities with a mandate to ‘assess whether wages are evolving in line with productivity and compare with developments in other euro area countries and in the main comparable trading partners”.The opinions of the authorities should be used by social partners in wage setting negotiations.Other measures for the next two years include an advisory European Fiscal Board, completion of the Banking Union, and a reorganisation of the European Semester.These changes should be possible witin the current EU treaty but other ideas such as eurozone finance ministry by 2025 are likely to require treaty changes.“Euro area member states would continue to decide on taxation and the allocation of budgetary expenditures according to national preferences and political choices. However, as the euro area evolves towards a genuine EMU, some decisions will increasingly need to be made collectively while ensuring democratic accountability and legitimacy.”The report also notes that the Eurogroup should have a full-time president. Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the current eurogroup chief, is also Dutch finance minsiter.The report, which is mostly the work of European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, is likely to raise sovereignty concerns in some captials.However, the report argues that member states have already lost power during the financial crisis but without gaining any democratic oversight.“At the height of the crisis, far-reaching decisions had often to be taken in a rush, sometimes overnight. In several cases, intergovernmental solutions were chosen to speed up decisions or overcome opposition. Now is the time to review and consolidate our political construct”, the report says.Some of the report's ideas were voiced earlier this month in an op-ed by the German and French economy ministers.

US military to put armor on the ground in Baltics, Eastern Europe-The US military will be sending tanks and armored fighting vehicles to NATO-member countries that border Russia.Christian Science Monitor By Kelsey Warner-JUNE 23,15-YAHOONEWS

The US military will be sending enough equipment to supply a typical army unit to allied countries in the Baltics and Eastern Europe in response to Russian actions in the Ukraine, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Tuesday, during his week-long trip to Europe, CNN reported.The equipment, which includes dozens of tanks, Bradley armored fighting vehicles, and self-propelled howitzers, will be positioned in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland, Carter announced at a press conference with US allies in Estonia.The equipment will be used in training exercises by NATO troops and will not involve US soldiers.“We're sending a message of assurance to our NATO allies. We have obligations, under the NATO treaty, to defend those countries if attacked,” said retired Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmit, the former military assistant to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, to CNN. “I think those countries in the region are going to be welcoming the positioning of these – this equipment into their countries."The contribution of tanks and armored vehicles from the US comes at a time of international debate over how rigorously NATO allies and the region should prepare to defend against an increasingly combative Russia.A survey by Pew Research Center suggests that the citizens of NATO’s member nations are divided on how NATO might intervene if Russia takes action in the Baltic region and Eastern Europe.“At least half of Germans, French and Italians say their country should not use military force to defend a NATO ally if attacked by Russia,” the Pew Research Center found in a recent survey, which is based on interviews in 10 nations, according to The New York Times. Americans and Canadians, Pew says, were the only nationalities surveyed in which more than half of those polled believed that their country should take military action if Russia attacked a NATO ally.Such mixed public sentiment is likely unsettling to NATO members in the Baltics and Eastern Europe, who see what is happening in Eastern Ukraine where more than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting between ethnic Russians, supported by Russia, and Ukraine, and wonder what may be coming next from the Kremlin.“During the Cold War we had everything there in the neighborhood we needed to respond,” said Julianne Smith, a former defense and White House official who is now a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington, to The New York Times. “It’s all atrophied. We haven’t gone through the muscle movements of a conventional attack in Europe for decades.”Secretary Carter will conclude his tour of NATO capitals in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday, where NATO leaders plan to debate how to respond to the rising tension in the Baltics and Eastern Europe.

Press conference-by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ahead of the NATO Defence Ministers meetings-22 Jun. 2015-(As delivered)-NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg previews upcoming meeting of NATO Defence Ministers during a press conference given at NATO headquarters

Good afternoon.On Wednesday and Thursday this week, the NATO defence ministers will meet. And the main issue will be how NATO is adapting to a new and more challenging security environment. This is an environment which is more complex and more demanding than it has been for a long time.NATO is responding to this new security environment with solidarity and with resolve.And just a few days ago I visited Poland, and there I saw the new Spearhead Force exercising. And this is the first deployment on an exercise of this newly established, very high readiness joint task force or Spearhead force of NATO.And the establishment of this new Spearhead Force and the exercise in Poland, sends a very clear signal about that NATO is here. And NATO is ready.Seven European Allies will lead the force over the coming years. Six new small headquarters across the eastern part of the Alliance are being set up. And all Allies are making substantial contributions to our strengthened presence in the air, at sea and on the ground.At our defence ministerial this week, we will take new steps to strengthen our collective defence. So we can respond to the challenges even faster and more effectively.First, we will take decisions to further increase the strength and the capability of the NATO Response Force. All together, it will amount to between 30,000 and 40,000 troops – more than double its previous size.The centerpiece of this enhanced NATO Response Force is the Spearhead Force. Its land component was decided in February to be a brigade. At the meeting this week, we will approve the air, sea and special forces components of the new Spearhead Force.The second decision I expect ministers to make related to how we are increasing the readiness and the responsiveness of our forces, is that we will speed up our political and military decision-making to enable a rapid deployment of the NATO Response Force, while maintaining full political control.To further promote faster decisions, we will have more detailed and advanced plans which is key to be able to deploy forces quickly.We are giving our Supreme Commander, SACEUR, more authority to prepare our troops for deployment and get them ready to go once the political decision is made.And third, we will set up a new logistics headquarters within the NATO command structure, better to coordinate and manage the movement of our forces across Alliance territory and their central supplies.So these are some of the decisions which we are going to take and I expect the ministers to take. And they are important decisions for NATO’s adaptation to a new and more challenging security environment.But adaptation requires an increased investment in defence.We have just published the Allies’ defence spending figures for 2014, and we have also published estimates for 2015.This year, we expect five Allies to spend 2% of GDP on defence and these Allies are Estonia, Greece, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States.Eighteen Allies are expected to increase their defence expenditure in real terms.This is good news. But the picture is mixed. Overall, we expect total NATO defence expenditure to continue to decrease in 2015 by 1.5 percent. And this comes on top of a steady decline in especially European NATO Allies defence expenditure during a long period of time.So we need to redouble our efforts to reverse this trend. Because we are facing more challenges, and we cannot do more with less indefinitely. I will take the question of defence expenditure up with the ministers when we meet on Wednesday and Thursday because this is key when it comes to both following up the decisions we made at our Summit last fall in Wales, but also preparing for the next Summit which will take place in Warsaw in July 2016.On Thursday, the second day of the ministerial meeting we will also meet with Ukraine’s new defence minister in the NATO-Ukraine Commission.We will there reaffirm our strong commitment to an independent, peaceful and prosperous Ukraine. And to Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.Finally, we will review progress made since the launch of our Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan at the start of the year. And the evolution of this mission.And we will look at how we will continue to support the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in the longer term.They continue to face considerable challenges. I strongly condemn the attack on the Afghan parliament today. This is an attack on democracy.The Afghan forces stand their ground. They, and the Afghan people, deserve our full support.With that, I am ready to take your questions.

MODERATOR: We’ll take three more questions over there because I know lots of people had their hands up so we’ll go to the second row, first there.

Q: Japanese Daily Mainichi, my name is Saito. I have two questions if I may. One question is, I missed the point, you suggested that something changed your command structure, headquarter, could you elaborate a little bit? And second question, [inaudible] for discussion, but with partners, does some partners already took part in the NATO Response Force but is there any discussion to invite some partners to take part in the [inaudible], namely the enhanced opportunity partner five countries especially?

JENS STOLTENBERG: So what I said was that we are going to establish a new logistic headquarters within the NATO command structure. And the reason why we are going to do that is that that will increase our capability and our capacity to coordinate and manage the movement of our forces across the territory of our Allied countries. And especially to manage supplies which is key when it comes to both the readiness and but also the sustainability of military forces. So everything related to logistics, supplies, transportation is key and we are going to then establish this new headquarters within the existing command structure which is going to address this issue in particular. When it comes to partners you are very right that partners have contributed to the NATO Response Force before and we are planning for that they can also do that in the future. Exactly how we are going to do that, well we have to discuss with partners but we are very positive and I’m very committed myself to make sure that we will find ways of making sure that partners can contribute to the NATO Response Force in the future. And you have to remember that the Spearhead Force, the very high-readiness joint task force, is part of the NATO Response Force. I’m certain that we will find practical ways of doing this so we can still invite partner countries to contribute to the NATO Response Force also in the future.

Q: John Dahlberg from the Associated Press. Secretary General if I could ask you to comment on the meetings taking place across town today, is NATO concerned that a failure for, between Greece and its creditors to come to an agreement on what to do with the Greek economy and a departure of Greece from the Eurozone might have consequences for European of Transatlantic Security? You mentioned Greece as one of the five countries to make its 2 % commitment.

JENS STOLTENBERG: So I welcome very much the efforts made by the European Union, the Commission, the creditors and Greece to try to find a solution. And I think this is a very demanding and very difficult challenge and I think it will only become more difficult if I start to give them advice. So I will leave that to them and I think it’s up to the European Union and Greece to find a solution. But what I will underline is that of course it will be a great advantage for us all if they are able to find a solution and therefore I support all efforts to try to find a solution because that will contribute to a more predictable development in Europe that’s good for the, for Europe but is of course also good for the stability and the predictability surrounding NATO and I think that’s important also for NATO.

MODERATOR: NPR/CBS.

Q: Terry Schultz with NPR and CBS. Secretary, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter is saying that he won’t let Russia drag NATO and the Allies back to the past saying that this is looking more and more like a cold war scenario. Every reassurance, everything that you call a reassurance measure is met with a fairly aggressive response by Moscow, increasing the nuclear arsenal for example. Do you feel like things are moving back to a cold war mentality and how would you assess right now the status of the so-called Minks Ceasefire? Thanks.

JENS STOLTENBERG: We are not in a cold war situation, but we are not in a strategic partnership with Russia either. And therefore we are facing something which is in between. The historic experience of cold war and what we strived to establish the strategic partnership with Russia after the end of the Cold War. We are responding and I think that if NATO hadn’t adapted when the security environment is changing then it would have been fair to criticise us, because there is no doubt that, that the security environment surrounding NATO is fundamentally changed. Both with the violence, the turmoil we see to the south with ISIL, violence spreading across the Middle East and North Africa. But also with the challenges we see to the east caused by more aggressive actions in Russia in Ukraine, Russia’s long-term and heavy investments in defence but also the behaviour we see of Russia when it comes to for instance an increased number of snap exercises which have been used as a disguise for annexing Crimea, sending forces, supplies, support into Eastern Ukraine to destabilize Eastern Ukraine and also their increased use of nuclear rhetoric, as a part of the total defence posture and the way they are messaging to neighbours and NATO Allies. So all of this requires that we are adapting and what NATO does is defensive, it’s proportionate and it’s fully in line with our international commitments. NATO does not seek confrontation with Russia. We don’t seek an arms race, we continue to strive for a more cooperative and constructive relationship with Russia. We continue to work for more predictability, transparency, especially related to military activities, exercises, this has has always been important. But it is even more important now because the military presence along the borders have increased and therefore it is very important to avoid that any situation spirals out of control and therefore predictability, transparency and part of these also arms control is and remains a key goal for NATO. But as I’ve stated several times there is no contradiction between strong defence and dialogue, actually we need strong defence, collective defence to have the foundation for engaging Russia in a political dialogue.

Q: Naftali Bendavid, Wall Street Journal. A few times in recent weeks you’ve mentioned the growing use of nuclear rhetoric by Russia and I know it’s something that’s of concern to you and I wanted to ask, what exactly is NATO doing in response to this increased use of nuclear messaging?

JENS STOLTENBERG: The nuclear messaging of Russia is destabilizing, it’s unjustified and I also characterized it as dangerous. Because what we learned during the Cold War is that everything related to nuclear weapons has to be dealt with in a very cautious way, in a predictable way and this nuclear sabre rattling is not the right way of addressing the challenges we face, especially today with increased tensions. The nuclear sabre rattling is part of the picture which has made it necessary for NATO to adapt, to increase the readiness of our forces, the preparedness of our forces, to have increased military presence in the eastern part of the Alliance with more ships at sea, planes in the air and troops on the ground on a rotational basis. And it’s also the reason why we are establishing the new small headquarters, the high readiness of our forces, to respond to the overall picture and the nuclear rhetoric is part of this overall picture. As we have stated many times we will still rely on deterrence in NATO which is a mix of conventional forces, missile defence and nuclear forces and that will also be the case in the future.

PROOF HALF ON EARTH DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD (8 BILLION ON EARTH)

REVELATION 6:7-8 (8 BILLION- 2 BILLION = 6 BILLION)
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:(CHLORES GREEN) and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,(2 BILLION) to kill with sword,(WEAPONS) and with hunger,(FAMINE) and with death,(INCURABLE DISEASES) and with the beasts of the earth.(ANIMAL TO HUMAN DISEASE).

REVELATION 9:15,18 (6 BILLION - 2 BILLION = 4 BILLION)

18 By these three was the third part of men killed,(2 BILLION) by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMBS)

HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)

LUKE 17:34-37 (8 TOTAL BILLION - 4 BILLION DEAD IN TRIB = 4 BILLION TO JESUS KINGDOM) (HALF DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS)(GOD DOES NOT LIE)(AND NOTICE MOST DIE IN WAR AND DISEASES-NOT COMETS-ASTEROIDS-QUAKES OR TSUNAMIS)
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES.BECAUSE NOT HALF OF PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE CHRISTIANS.AND THE CONTEXT IN LUKE 17 IS THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YR TREATY PERIOD.WHICH IS JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH.NOT 50% RAPTURED TO HEAVEN.

MATTHEW 24:37-42
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
42 Watch therefore:(FOR THE LAST DAYS SIGNS HAPPENING) for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Q: I’m [inaudible], Kommersant Daily Russia. My question is about the information that the USA is planning to store some heavy weaponry in the Baltic region and in some Eastern European countries. First will this topic be discussed during the meeting? And second how could you answer it to the Russian authorities what they say that this decision will be a violation of the Russian NATO Founding Act of 1997? Thank you.

JENS STOLTENBERG: Prepositioning of equipment is, as planned by and discussed by NATO and NATO Allies is in no way violating the NATO Russia Founding Act. Everything we do is defensive, it’s proportionate and it’s fully in line with our international commitments. We addressed the question of pre-positioning when we made our decisions last fall at the NATO Summit. We decided there to increase the readiness and the preparedness of our forces and we are doing that step by step. I mentioned some elements which we’re going to discuss at our meeting later on, later on this week related to the air, the sea and the special operation forces and the more rapid decision-making and better planning. Pre-positioning was addressed at our Wales Summit, we, we believe that pre-positioning is one element in, in increasing our readiness and increasing our ability to reinforce if needed. And I welcome also efforts by Allies and by the United States to support each other and I’m certain that we’re also going to discuss the question of pre-positioning at our Defence Ministerial Meeting later on this week.

MODERATOR: Thank you very much that’s all we have time for now but we will see you later this week. Thank you.Ministerial Meeting.

NATO Secretary General joins Allied ministers to watch Spearhead Force in action-18 Jun. 2015
|
NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg along with the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, and Defence Ministers of Germany, the Netherlands and Norway, as well as top NATO military commanders, attended the first deployment exercise of the Alliance’s new very high readiness Spearhead Force on Thursday (18 June 2015) in western Poland.Minister of Defence of Germany Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Minister of Defence of Norway Ine Eriksen Soreide, Minister of Defence of the Netherlands Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert and Minister of Defence of Poland Tomasz Siemoniak at the Noble Jump 2015 Exercise training session.The Secretary General described exercise Noble Jump as NATO delivering on the promises made at the Wales Summit, where Alliance leaders decided to increase the readiness and preparedness of NATO forces in response to rising security challenges from the east and the south. "This is a strong expression that NATO stands ready to protect and defend Poland and all Allies against any threat," Mr Stoltenberg said.“I am impressed by what I've seen," he added, praising the professionalism, the dedication of the troops and their ability to work together. "Troops from 9 different countries working together as one - this is really the strength of NATO,” said the Secretary General.Mr. Stoltenberg met with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Tomasz Siemoniak, the German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen, the Dutch Defence Minister Jeannine Hennis-Plasschaert and the Norwegian Defence Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide, whose countries are playing a leading role in developing NATO's very high readiness force. Brigadier General Kees Matthijssen, the Brigade Commander of the interim VJTF, explained that the 2,100 participating troops from 9 countries had deployed within 4 days using 9 trains, 440 vehicles, 30 military convoys, 17 flights and over 100 containers. The exercise started on 9 June and runs until 19 June. The speed and the precision of the new force was demonstrated in practice in a live fire exercise involving special operations against irregular forces, combat helicopters and fighter aircraft, tanks, and armoured engineering vehicles.The Secretary General also met with Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski in Warsaw. He thanked the President for his personal leadership and commitment to a strong defence and a strong NATO strong. Poland will meet the 2 % of GDP guideline in spending on defence this year and in July 2016 will host the Warsaw Summit, which will be a key milestone in the adaptation of the Alliance. Mr Stoltenberg also met President-elect Andrzej Duda.

EU drafts plan on Russia's media 'misuse' By Andrew Rettman-june 23,15-euobserver

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-EU institutions aim to counter Russian propaganda with “positive” messages, media funding, and closer regulation, a new action plan says.The plan, a nine-page paper drafted by the EU foreign service and seen by EUobserver, will be discussed by ministers at a general affairs council on Tuesday (23 June), with a view to adoption by leaders on Thursday.It notes that Russia’s “use and misuse of communication tools” has “played an important role in the dramatic political, economic, and security-related developments” in the EU’s eastern neighbourhood in the past 18 months.It calls for “promotion of EU policies” in former Soviet states, support for “independent media”, and “increased public awareness of disinformation activities by external actors”.It says a new EU foreign service cell, called East StratCom Team, which is to be up-and-running by September, will shepherd activity.It's to “develop dedicated communication material on priority issues”, which will be “put at the disposal of the EU's political leadership, press services, EU delegations, and EU member states”.It notes the material, to be circulated in Russian and in local languages, should “allow citizens to easily understand that political and economic reforms promoted by the EU can, over time, have a positive impact on their daily lives”.It says that “rather than explain the detail of EU policies and programmes, [it] should clearly explain their benefits to the people of the region … in clear language, and based on real-life success stories that will resonate”.EU institutions will also work with NGOs “to raise awareness of [Russian] disinformation activities amongst the general public”.They will tap the so-called Open budget line in 2015 to 2020 for “targeted training and capacity building of journalists and media actors” in countries such as Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.On the regulation front, the EU foreign service notes that “media policy remains primarily a national competence”.But with some Russian media, such as RT or Sputnik, broadcasting fabrications and hate speech from their bureaus in EU cities, it says “the EU … will work to improve co-operation between national regulators, including through meetings of the European Regulators Group”, an audiovisual body.It also says the European Commission will “table a new legislative proposal to improve the regulatory environment and take account of current challenges”.The plan is the fruit of three months’ reflection by the EU diplomatic corps.It was circulated to EU ambassadors on 16 June.A diplomat from one northern EU member state described it as a “pragmatic, low-level approach”. He noted that “the action plan is a living document, which can be expanded later”.Diplomats from former Iron Curtain EU countries, many of which see Russian propaganda as an immediate threat, have ridiculed it.One contact told EUobserver: “It’s weak. We hope the ministers will strengthen it when they meet on Tuesday”. A second contact said: “It’s a piece of crap”.

UK perspective

By comparison, the UK, in April, created a 1,500-man unit in the British army, the so-called 77th Brigade, to engage in psychological operations.It will focus on social media, targeting Russian and Islamic State propaganda.But for his part, Daniel Korski, an advisor to British PM David Cameron, who used to work for the EU foreign service, said effective communication doesn’t need more officials in the small East StratCom Team.“It’s much less to do with funding new institutions or schemes. It’s more about rapid reaction by politicians and institutions, so that when a statement is blatantly false, we're quick to debunk it and to say what we stand for”, he told Globsec, a security congress in Slovakia last weekend.Korski, who worked on British PM David Cameron’s election campaign, noted that EU states already have adequate infrastructure.“ We already have structures which are capable of reacting very quickly to media developments, of debunking negative messages: Tthey’re called political parties”, he said.

Gloves off

Robert Pszczel, Nato’s former spokesman in Moscow, told Globsec the EU should “take off the gloves”.
“We have to talk back. It doesn’t mean we engage with Russian propaganda tit for tat … but we have to talk back because silence is interpreted in the wrong way”.He said Russian VIPs are prone to self- contradiction and hollow arguments.“I’d like to see Western media invite more Russian officials on talk shows. I’d like to see them take on people like Chizhov [Russia’s EU ambassador] or Churkin [its UN ambassador] because they’ll win”, he noted.“They contradict themselves: One minute it’s ‘gay EU’ and ‘Nato is a paper tiger’. The next minute it’s ‘neo-Nazi EU’ and 'Nato is a terrible menace'.”He gave his own TV clash with Russian nationalist MP Vladimir Zhirinovsky as an example.“If Mr Zhirinovsky says: ‘We [Russia] have nukes, so, aaargh!’, it’s easy to say: ‘Well, we [Nato countries] have nukes as well’. It made him keep quiet for a while”.

Orban: EU needs 'strong' leaders, not institutions By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER

BRATISLAVA, 19. Jun, 20:46-Viktor Orban, the Hungarian PM, has said only “strong” leaders, not institutions, can create stability in Europe.Speaking at Globsec, a security event in Bratislava, on Friday (19 June), he said: “We were educated, over the past one or two decades, that leadership means institutions … that the job of a leader is to manage the work of institutions”.“But when you’re in trouble … you need personal leadership, and personal leadership isn’t respected in Europe. It’s rather considered as a danger”.He added that Europe’s big challenges - the Greece crisis, migration, Russia - need “strong leadership, even a personal one, and this leadership should be stable. Stability of leadership is the key to financial stability in Europe in future”.His remarks come amid increasing EU concern over his authoritarian style.In five years in power, he has extended political control over Hungarian courts, clamped down on NGOs, and tried to gag free media.He has also voiced disregard for EU institutions and laws.He recently told the European Parliament and the centre-right EPP group that EU treaties shouldn’t stop him from imposing the death penalty.His rejection of European Commission ideas on migrants is linked to his views on leadership.Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia, in the margins of Globsec, signed a memo saying No to Commission proposals on asylum-seeker quotas.They said one reason is because the Commission went against EU leaders, who decided, in April, on a voluntary scheme.Meanwhile, Orban made light of Commission criticism of his anti-migrant fence.He said national leaders, not EU institutions, are responsible for borders.“Borders must be secure. They must be defended by the state. Full stop”, he noted.“You can’t wait for a European solution … maybe they [EU institutions] will send you some money one day, maybe not. I don’t believe in a European solution”.He added that foreigners are a threat to Hungary's identity.“Big countries don’t understand us because they don’t have this feeling of danger. If you have 60 or 80 million people, instead of 10 million, there’s no danger, but for us it [migration] means there’s no more Hungarian world”, he said.“We have a situation in which we’re saying: ‘Would the last Hungarian please switch off the light’.”Referring to his country's ageing population, he said he wants a “biological” solution - for Hungarian couples to “have more kids” -- instead of migrant workers.He defended his own record by noting the Hungarian economy grew more than three percent last year.He said he did it by cutting welfare, but also by relaxing taxes, such as corporate tax and inheritance tax.He said his model is “not a very 'fair' society - it’s a work-based society”.“It’s hard to define. People ask: ‘What the hell is it?’ ... It’s like pornography. No one can define it, but everybody knows it when they see it”.

Europeans more critical of China on rights By Peter Teffer-june 23,15-euobserver

Brussels, Today, 18:29-Europeans, compared to other parts of the world, hold more critical views of China’s human rights record, according to a survey published by US think tank Pew on Tuesday (23 June).
Pew interviewed people from 40 countries, including the EU's six most populous countries: Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Poland.In France, 93 percent of respondents said the Chinese government does not respect the personal freedoms of its people; 92 percent of Germans, and 88 percent of Spanish were of the same view.Respondents from Canada and the US responded in a similar fashion, but most regions in the world, especially Africa were much more positive. Only 28 percent of Russians answered No, and 52 percent answered Yes.When asked about their general opinion of China, the six surveyed European countries, which account for 70 percent of the EU's population, were also less favourable towards the Asian country.Thirty four percent of Germans held a favourable view of China, while 60 percent held an unfavourable one. The most favourable views within the European countries were held in France, where they were almost tied with negative views.In some European countries gender and age revealed differences when it comes to how China is viewed.Among Spaniards, 37 percent of those above age 50 have a favourable view of China, this rose to 56 percent among 18 to 29 year olds.Forty-two percent of German men view China positively, compared to 25 percent of German women.

Political power

Of the five regions the researchers compared – the EU, Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Asia/Pacific – it was the EU where most people believed that China would take over the US as a superpower.Almost half of French, German, Spanish, and British respondents believed that China “will eventually replace the US as the world's leading superpower”.Only 31 percent of Italians agreed, but that is because 26 percent were of the opinion that China has already replaced the US as leading superpower.Around a third of Europeans believed China will never replace the US as superpower.In the US itself, 10 percent believed China has replaced the US, and 36 percent that it will do so eventually.

Economic power

On the economy, there is substantial support in Europe for the idea that China is currently the world's number one economic power.However, that notion was more popular a few years ago.“Between 2009 and 2012, Europeans increasingly saw China, rather than the US, as the world’s economic leader. However, the pendulum has swung back in the other direction since 2012, and today Europeans are now essentially divided on this question”, the report said.In France, 49 percent named China as the leading economic power, 40 percent named the US.In Germany, 39 percent believed China to be the world's economic powerhouse; 27 percent said that honour belongs to the US, while 25 percent of Germans named EU has the main economic power in the world.Of the forty surveyed countries, only five had 10 percent or more respondents believing that the EU is the world’s number one economy: Germany (25%), Ukraine (12%), Palestinian territories (11%), Vietnam (11%), and China (10%).

U.S. airs concerns in China meetings, stresses need for progress-Reuters By Jason Lange and David Brunnstrom-JUNE 23,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Tuesday expressed deep concern about state-sponsored cyber theft and stressed the need to keep Asian sea lanes open at the start of annual talks with China, and said the world depended on the ability of the two countries to narrow their differences.In opening statements at the wide-ranging Strategic and Economic Dialogue forum in Washington, China expressed a desire for constructive relations with the United States, and said the two sides could manage their differences - as long as they accommodated each other’s core interests.U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said China and the United States might not resolve all of their differences during the Cabinet-level meetings that began in Washington on Monday with preliminary talks and a dinner and run into Wednesday, but should commit to working on them."We have to keep at it, day after day after day after day," Biden said. "This relationship is just too important. Not only we depend on it, but the world depends on our mutual success; to put it bluntly, the world is dependent on those of you in this room to continue to work through those issues."China's Vice Premier Liu Yandong responded to Biden by saying that differences could be managed “as long as our two countries adopt an overall perspective, respect and accommodate each other’s core interests and be committed to a constructive approach to reduce misunderstanding and miscalculation.”The Washington meetings come at a time of waning trust and widening differences between the United States and China, even though they maintain robust economic ties that last year were worth $590 billion in two-way trade.The United States is particularly worried by massive attacks on government computers that U.S. officials have blamed on Chinese hackers and China's pursuit of territorial claims in the South China Sea, as well as Beijing's challenge to its dominance of global finance and restrictions on U.S. businesses in China.In the opening session, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew addressed the former issue without mentioning China by name but said Washington remained “deeply concerned about government-sponsored cyber theft from companies and commercial sectors."Lew also said it was critical for China to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate, repeating a U.S. mantra even though the International Monetary Fund has said the yuan is no longer undervalued.More than 400 Chinese officials are in Washington for the talks, which involve eight U.S. Cabinet secretaries.They come at a time when U.S. President Barack Obama is struggling to secure backing from Congress for legislation needed to speed a 12-nation trade deal, which is the economic plank of his "pivot to Asia" policy intended as a counterweight to China's growing influence.The two sides will try to ease tensions by stressing areas of cooperation, including climate change, shared concerns about Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs, the fight against Islamist militancy, and support for global development.Despite considerable tension over some issues, China is hoping for a smooth set of meetings to prepare for a visit to Washington by President Xi Jinping in September.(Reporting by Lesley Wroughton, Idrees Ali and Arshad Mohammed; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

N.Y. State Senator Proposes Using GPS Implants To Track Violent Convicts-NYCLU Calls Saratoga Lawmaker's Suggestion An Overreaction To Upstate Prison Break-June 22, 2015 6:08 PM-CBS NEW YORK

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s high-tech and certainly controversial, but with the two prisoners from the Clinton Correctional Facility still on the lam an upstate senator says one way to track future escapees is to microchip them.Bloodhounds and expensive manhunts are so yesterday when it comes to hunting escaped prisoners. That’s the opinion of one lawmaker, who says the state should explore implanting tiny GPS devices under convicts’ skin.Others say microchipping criminals could have multiple uses, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Tuesday.“If you’ve got convicted murderers, the type of people these two men are, that it would make some good sense at that level that we should have something that we could track them,” said State Sen. Kathy Marchione, R-Saratoga.With 800 law enforcement officials still unable to pick up the trail of escaped murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat, the suggestion from Marchione to implant microchips in people convicted of serious crimes is picking up steam.“I’m in favor of it, but I do think there have to parameters with respect to the crime itself. I wouldn’t do it for arson, which falls under the violent, but I would do it for aggravated rape and murder,” said Paul Viollis, a security expert and former investigator in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.“I see the public safety value in it, not just from an escape standpoint but also from an inmate-control perspective within the institution,” said Jon Shane, a professor at John Jay College.The New York Civil Liberties Union said microchipping inmates is unconstitutional.
“It sounds like a knee-jerk reaction. They should plug the security inside prisons,” said NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman. “As a constitutional matter, it won’t survive a challenge because it’s an invasion of body autonomy.”Shane, a former cop, said it might pass constitutional muster if the chip was removed if and when a prisoner is released.“Removing it when they are paroled, those sorts of things, transitioning from a microchip to an ankle monitor, are all going to have to be explored,” Shane said.Kramer asked local residents what they think, and the responses were split.“It wouldn’t do any harm, I guess. They do it with dogs,” one man said.“It opens a whole can of worms. I think it would be a little bit extreme,” added Kurt Clarke of the Bronx.“I think that might be a good idea, maybe it’ll work,” said Andrew Passero of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey.“I heard about it in other parts of the world, so I would say yes,” said Beata Perrasi of the Upper West Side.“It feels very inhumane to do that, but sometimes these people need it,” Forest Hills’ Bridget Westermeier added.“Once we go down this path we’re going to start microchipping all of us, which I think some people in Albany would like to do,” said Paul Insermann of East Flatbush.There’s also the question of whether the microchip could be cut out the minute the inmate escaped. Experts say the chips would be embedded in the neck, underneath six or seven layers of skin. So simply cutting it out without medical assistance would pose a significant health risk, Kramer reported.

Police converge on NY towns where escaped prisoners said sighted-Reuters By Pete DeMola-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (Reuters) - Heavily-armed police converged on towns in western New York state on Saturday to investigate possible sightings of two convicted murderers who escaped a maximum-security prison two weeks ago, police said.A witness saw two men who might have been the escapees walking along a railroad track in Friendship, a community of about 2,000 residents in a rural patch of Allegany County, New York State Police said in a statement.Police set up a perimeter in the area of Friendship, about 280 miles (450 km) southwest of the Clinton Correctional Facility where the escaped convicts had been serving sentences for murder, said New York State Police spokesman Beau Duffy.It could not be confirmed if the two men were the escapees Richard Matt and David Sweat, Duffy added.About 150 law enforcement officers were searching the area, Duffy said. The resources deployed, from a variety of agencies including the U.S. Marshals and State Police, included special operations teams, officers with dogs and helicopters.State Police in a statement on Saturday said another possible sighting was made about 50 miles (80 km) east of Friendship around a construction site in Erwin, New York state, and that troopers and investigators were sent there.Police had said the two men might have been spotted on June 13 near a rail yard in Erwin and the next day in nearby Lindley and that investigators were examining surveillance video to determine if that sighting from a week ago was the escapees.The Marshals Service has put Matt and Sweat on its 15 Most Wanted Fugitives List.The reported sightings of the men on Saturday came a day after officials said a corrections officer at Clinton Correctional Facility was suspended in connection with the escape.Authorities did not say whether they believed the corrections officer, whose name was not released, would face charges or if the officer was believed to have assisted in the breakout.Another prison worker, Joyce Mitchell, is accused of assisting the escapees. Mitchell, 51, a training supervisor in the prison tailor shop who is charged with giving hacksaw blades to the convicted murderers, lost her nerve to drive their getaway car and instead checked into a hospital with a panic attack, authorities said.The two inmates, who went through prison cell walls, a steam pipe and a manhole cover to escape, were discovered missing the morning of June 6, officials said.(Writing by Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by David Gregorio and W Simon)

Sun Jun 21, 2015 3:55pm EDT-Mourning shooting victims, Charleston anguishes over 'freshness of death'-CHARLESTON, South Carolina | By Edward McAllister, Luciana Lopez and Alana Wise-reuters

Hundreds of people packed a sweltering Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston for an emotional memorial service on Sunday just days after a gunman, identified by authorities as a 21-year-old white man, shot dead nine black church members."We are reminded this morning about the freshness of death that comes like a thief in the night," the Reverend Norvel Goff told a mostly black congregation that swelled to about 400 people for a service remembering those killed on Wednesday in the latest U.S. mass shooting.Armed police searched bags at the door of the church, home to the oldest African-American congregation in the southern United States, and officers stood at intervals inside the church along the side of the nave and in the gallery.Outside the church, a large, mostly white crowd gathered to express solidarity with those inside.Goff's rollicking sermon brought people alternately to tears and laughter as the church reopened to worshippers for the first time since the shooting. They whooped, cheered and raised their hands, and ended the service with embraces after Goff, whose voice rose to a shout at times, encouraged them to "hug three people next to you and tell them, 'It's going to be alright.'"The suspect, Dylann Roof, was arrested on Thursday and has been charged with nine counts of murder. Authorities say he spent an hour in an evening Bible study group at the church, nicknamed "Mother Emanuel" for its key role in U.S. black history, before opening fire.Federal investigators were examining a racist manifesto on a website that appeared to have been written by Roof. The site featured white supremacist writings and photos, apparently of Roof.Goff was standing in for Clementa Pinckney, 41, senior pastor at Emanuel and a Democratic member of the state Senate who was killed in the massacre."When evil is in the world, you and I may not be able to control evil-doers. ... Some of us are still trying to seek answers to what happened last week, Wednesday," Goff said. "I've decided to turn it to over to Jesus."Among those at the service, which lasted more than two hours, were South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum."The blood of the Mother Emanuel Nine requires us to work until not only justice in this case but for those who are still living in the margin of life, those who are less fortunate than ourselves, that we stay on the battlefield until there is no more fight to be fought," Goff said.Hand fans fluttered in the church as those in attendance tried to beat the heat.The massacre has again trained a spotlight on the divisive issues of race relations and gun crime in the United States and reignited a debate over gun control in a country where the right to own firearms is constitutionally protected.

GUN CONTROL

Riley, on the CNN program "State of the Union," called for stricter gun control laws."It is insane the number of guns and the ease of getting guns in America," Riley said. "It's not that people should not carry guns and all of that, it's just that there are so many of them and the ease of them and there is no accountability."
President Barack Obama, in an interview recorded on Friday, expressed frustration over the issue. He blamed the powerful National Rifle Association gun-rights lobby group and public apathy for the failure to implement new gun control measures.The church massacre has also renewed the controversy around the flag of the pro-slavery Confederate Southern states in the American Civil War that ended in 1865. It is a symbol of Southern pride for some and an emblem of hatred for others.On NBC's "Meet the Press," James Clyburn, a black U.S. congressman from South Carolina, called on state lawmakers to pass legislation to remove the flag from the state capitol grounds, where it is mandated by law to fly.Cornell Brooks, who heads the NAACP civil rights group, told CBS's "Face the Nation," "That flag represents exclusion, it represents bigotry, it represents bias. ... It has to come down."The church shootings were the main topic at other Sunday services in Charleston, sometimes dubbed "The Holy City" because of its multitude of historic churches. Church bells rang throughout the city in honor of the shooting victims.At the predominantly white-membership St. Michael's Church, founded in the 17th century, the Reverend Alfred Zadig Jr. said he did not know any of the victims and asked for forgiveness "for failing to be a pastor who reaches out beyond my world.""You and I are so good at compartmentalizing grief," Zadig told his congregation. "Today I'm asking you to feel the unthinkable pain ... This is not God's will. God did not ordain this event to happen to make a point about racism."(Additional reporting by Harriet McLeod and Lucia Mutikani; Writing by Will Dunham; Editing by Frances Kerry)

Charleston church holds first service since gunman killed 9-Charleston mourns, begins healing after church massacre-Reuters By Edward McAllister, Luciana Lopez and Alana Wise-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - Hundreds of people flocked to Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Sunday as it reopened its doors to worshipers just days after a gunman shot dead nine black church members.Outside the church, the oldest African-American congregation in the southern United States, bouquets, teddy bears and balloons covered the sidewalk while hundreds of people lined up to mourn, sing hymns and leave memorials.Thousands of hand-written messages covered white banners at the church's entrance, reading "God Bless," or "Thank you Sen. Rev. Clementa Pinckney. You will 4ever be an inspiration," referring to the church's pastor, a state senator who was one of the victims.
City officials, religious leaders and mourners have said Sunday's services at Emanuel church would mark a small step toward healing after the latest U.S. mass shooting, which has again trained a spotlight on the nation's pervasive and divisive issues of race relations and gun crime.Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old suspect, remains in jail charged with nine counts of murder. Authorities say he spent an hour in an evening Bible study group at the church, nicknamed "Mother Emanuel" for its key role in African-American history, before opening fire on Wednesday night.Federal investigators were examining photos and white supremacist writings that surfaced on a website on Saturday that appeared to show Roof posing with a handgun and standing in front of a Confederate military museum and plantation slave houses.Texts posted on the website included an "explanation" by the author for taking some unspecified action."I have no choice ... I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country," it said.The massacre was the latest in a series of mass shootings in the United States that have reignited a debate over gun control in a country where the right to own firearms is constitutionally protected. Outside Emanuel church on Sunday, where services were due to begin at 9:30 a.m., security was tight as police patrolled with a bomb dog to sniff through the growing piles of flowers, balloons, toys and signs. Below the church program board, a poster covered in pink and white hearts and silver stars read: "We are all in this together & we will shine on." A picture of multi-colored hands marked the middle of the card, reinforcing the message.Monte Talmadge, a 63-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, drove nearly 300 miles (480 km) from Raleigh, North Carolina, to offer his condolences to the church and community."There was an overwhelming feeling that made me drive here," he said. "A church is a place of worship, not a place for killing."The victims' names, written on white ribbons adorned with roses, bedecked one of the church's gates. Another gate held a black shirt that read: "Do you believe us now."Joseph Kovas, 19, was hoping to make it inside the church for Sunday's service."We wanted to come to show our presence and prayers to the community. The way they have been affected is tremendous," he said. "The people have come together in Charleston and that is great testament to this city."(Writing by Chris Michaud; Editing by Digby Lidstone and Tom Heneghan)

Protesters target Confederate flag after Charleston killings-AFP By Robert Macpherson-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

Columbia (United States) (AFP) - Several thousand protesters gathered under the controversial Confederate flag at South Carolina's state legislature, demanding it be taken down in response to the Charleston church massacre.Waving placards, chanting "take it down" and singing "We Shall Overcome," the youthful crowd, black and white, condemned the Civil War saltire as a symbol of lingering racist sentiment in the American South."We can no longer afford to let that flat stand there" and be a beacon for those who harbor "bad opinions," said one of the speakers, 95-year-old lawyer and activist Sarah Leverette, prompting loud cheers.Organizers called the event a "warm-up" for what they hope will be an even bigger anti-flag protest, also in front of the colonaded State House, on the Fourth of July holiday.Online, more than 370,000 people as of late Saturday had put their name to a petition launched by the left-leaning MoveOn.org activist group, calling for the flag to go."Symbols of hate have no place in our government. The Confederate flag is not a symbol of Southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism," it said.On the heels of the Charleston shooting, "it's time to put that symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!"

- Point of friction -

The flag's 24/7 presence -- alongside a memorial to Confederate war dead on the lush green State House lawn -- has been a point of friction in South Carolina for years.But it became a flashpoint once again after a young white male walked into a bible study class at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and shot dead nine African-Americans.One of the dead was chief pastor Clementa Pinckney, who was also a state senator, yet the flag -- unlike others -- was not lowered to half-staff after the shocking massacre that has renewed debate about racism and gun violence in America.Dylann Roof, 21, from the Columbia area, has been charged with nine counts of murder in connection with the bloodshed, which authorities have described as a hate crime.Police on Saturday were investigating a racist online manifesto that appeared on a website that also carried pictures of Roof with the Confederate flag and a handgun.Supporters of the Confederate flag embrace it as a symbol of Southern pride and heritage, and officials say removing it from the State House grounds requires by law a decision by the Republican-dominated legislature, now in summer recess.Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican who enjoys Tea Party support, has refused to call a special session to address the issue, saying emotions are still too raw in the wake of Wednesday's bloodbath.

- No one complained -

Last year Haley, whose parents are immigrants from India, defended the flag on the State House lawn, saying it wasn't an issue because no corporate CEO had ever complained about it.Yet even some of her influential fellow Republicans were on the other side of the argument. Former Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney tweeted "it's time to take down flag in SC."And current Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush echoed that saying in his own tweet that as governor he took it down in Florida, and put it in a "museum."Will Green, a young African-American activist in Columbia, said the flag encouraged neo-Nazis from out of state to come to South Carolina, but discouraged investors and graduate students from moving to the state."This flag is lying about us, our state and the kind of people we are," Green, who described himself as "a son of the South," told the crowd."We have to take Southern pride out of the hands of racists and haters," he added. "It's not just about dead Confederates. It's about us."

Many U.S. mayors skeptical Charleston will inspire gun law changes-Reuters By Robin Respaut-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Many U.S. mayors said this week's deadly church shooting in South Carolina should lead to more restrictions on gun ownership, but few believe the violence that killed nine people will propel legislators to enact stricter gun laws."Among ourselves, it has been coming up," said Bill Harrison, mayor of Fremont, California, during the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors this weekend in San Francisco. "But how many of these events does it take to get action?"Harrison said on Saturday the 2012 school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, where 20 children died, represented a personal turning point, but also made him skeptical about political change."I'm not giving up, but if Newton couldn't get people together, I don't know what will," he said.As Wednesday night's shooting at the historic African-American church in Charleston gripped the country, prosecutors on Friday wrapped up their case against James Holmes, on trial for killing 12 and wounding 70 in a shooting rampage in a movie theater in 2012.
That violence, followed by the Newton shooting, inspired activism and a push from President Barack Obama for gun control measures that subsequently fizzled.Guns are chiefly regulated at the state and federal level, with possession protected by the U.S. Constitution, and local governments have limited authority."Our state has made some steps forward but what we do on the ground is with our policing power and our close relationship with the community," New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio said on CNN on Saturday."Every time you turn around in this city and there's gun violence, that gun came from a state where it was just easy, just plain easy, to get a gun and send it up the East Coast to New York City. We need national legislation to change this."The bipartisan group Mayors Against Illegal Guns expects high attendance at its meeting during the mayors' convention, with every state represented, said Mayor James Diossa of Central Falls, Rhode Island on Saturday."This happens every time there is a situation: gun control comes to the front burner. But the problem is the political will is lacking." said Mayor Mary Casillas Salas of Chula Vista, California. "It's a problem with the state legislature."Obama on Friday told the conference he does not expect Congress to enact new gun laws soon.For Jesus Ruiz, mayor of Socorro, Texas, gun control is a federal issue split along party lines."With the Republicans controlling Congress, we are limited," he said.(Reporting by Robin Respaut; Additional reporting and writing by Lisa Lambert in Washington; Editing by Richard Chang)
