16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts,(WHEN RUSSIA/MUSLIMS GET DEFEATED THIER BODIES GET EATEN BY BIRDS,ANIMALS IN ISRAEL MIGRATION SEASON) and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;(NUKES) and I will bring the sword upon thee.

Japan marks 70th anniversary of Hiroshima atomic bombing-AFP By Quentin Tyberghien and Kazuhiro Nogi-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
Hiroshima (Japan) (AFP) - Tens of thousands gathered in Hiroshima Thursday to mark 70 years since the dropping of the first atomic bomb, with opinion still divided over whether its deadly destruction was justified.Bells tolled as a solemn crowd observed a moment of silence at 8:15 am local time (2315 GMT), when the detonation turned the bustling city into an inferno, killing thousands instantly and leaving others with horrific injuries to die a slow death.Children, elderly survivors and delegates representing 100 countries were in the crowd with many placing flowers in front of the cenotaph at Peace Memorial Park, as doves were released into the air.American B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped a bomb, dubbed "Little Boy", on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, in one of the closing chapters of World War II.Nearly everything around it was incinerated by a wall of heat up to 4,000 degrees Celsius -- hot enough to melt steel."As the only country ever attacked by an atomic bomb... we have a mission to create a world without nuclear arms," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told the crowd."We have been tasked with conveying the inhumanity of nuclear weapons, across generations and borders."Japan plans to submit a fresh resolution to abolish nuclear weapons at the UN general assembly later this year, he said.US Secretary of State John Kerry, at a regional diplomatic meeting in Malaysia, described the bombing as a "very, very powerful reminder" of the impact of war.US ambassador Caroline Kennedy and under-secretary for arms control Rose Gottemoeller, the most senior Washington official ever sent to the service, attended Thursday's ceremony.- 'Absolute evil' -This year's memorial comes days ahead of the scheduled restart of a nuclear reactor in southern Japan -- the first one to go back on line after a two-year hiatus following the tsunami-sparked disaster at Fukushima in 2011.While Abe has pushed to switch reactors back on, public opposition remains high after the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.Japan's nationalist leader has also been criticised for efforts to expand the role of his pacifist country's Self-Defence Forces, changes that open the door to putting troops into combat for the first time since the war.In a fresh controversy over the unpopular moves, defence minister Gen Nakatani admitted that the new security laws being debated in parliament could -- in theory -- allow for Japan to transport nuclear weapons to allies, but he quickly dismissed it as unlikely.Bomb survivors, known as 'hibakusha', demanded that Abe drop the military plan."You must never make Japan a country that repeats the same mistakes (of the past)," Yukio Yoshioka, an 86-year-old, told Abe during a brief meeting on Thursday, local media said.In his annual speech, Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil".About 140,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the Hiroshima attack, including those who survived the bombing itself but died in the following days, weeks and months from radiation sickness.Gums bled, teeth fell out, hair came off in clumps; there were cancers, premature births, malformed babies and sudden deaths.- 'Did the right thing' -On Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said hospitals are still treating thousands of bomb survivors for long-term health effects."I don't know why I survived and lived this long. The more I think about it... the more painful it becomes to recall," Hiroshima survivor Sunao Tsuboi, 90, told AFP before the anniversary.On August 9, the port city of Nagasaki was also attacked with an atomic bomb, killing more than 70,000 people.The twin bombings dealt the final blows to imperial Japan, which surrendered on August 15, 1945, bringing an end to World War II.While some historians say that they prevented many more casualties in a planned land invasion, critics counter that the attacks were not necessary to end the war, arguing that Japan was already heading for imminent defeat.Paul Tibbets, who piloted the Enola Gay, said before his death in 2007 that he never had second thoughts about dropping the bomb."I knew we did the right thing," he said in a newspaper interview.In the decades since, Japan has forged a new self-narrative as victim, as well as expansionist aggressor that was the cause of the Pacific War.But its militarist past evokes strong emotions, particularly in China and Korea, which suffered from Japan's brutal march across Asia."Ceremonies like this water down the fact that Japan was also a perpetrator of war crimes," said a scathing editorial in China's Global Times newspaper, which is close to the ruling Communist party."This shows how adept Japan is at scheming and calculating."

Driver rams car into Israeli soldiers, wounds 3: military-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
The incident occurred at a junction midway between Ramallah and Nablus in the Israeli-occupied territory, and soldiers "fired toward the vehicle in order to prevent the suspect's escape, confirming a hit," Colonel Peter Lerner said.The car, with an Israeli license plate, could be seen overturned at the scene.Palestinian security officials named the driver as Mohammed Badwan, a Palestinian from Biddu village east of Ramallah, and said Israeli forces later searched his home.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the man as a "terrorist" and praised the army for its quick reaction.An army statement said two of the three wounded soldiers "sustained severe injuries."The third was shown on publicly-owned Channel One television, sitting up in a hospital bed, with bandaged arms.Media said the driver was taken to a Jerusalem hospital in serious condition.The Islamic militant group Hamas did not take responsibility for the attack but praised it as an "appropriate response" to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.Netanyahu said on Twitter: "I'd like to praise the action of the (Israeli) soldiers, who reacted quickly and neutralised the terrorist."And Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said: "In the struggle against Palestinian terrorism we need determination and an iron fist against the terrorists and their despatchers."Palestinian assailants last year carried out a series of car attacks -- some of them fatal -- against Israelis in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Explosion in Gaza Strip kills four, wounds 30; cause unknown-Reuters-aug 6,15-yahoonews
GAZA (Reuters) - An explosion killed four Palestinians and wounded 30 on Thursday in the southern Gaza town of Rafah along the Egyptian border, medical officials and local residents said.Media outlets of the Hamas Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip blamed the blast on an unexploded Israeli missile from last year's war.The Hamas-run Interior Ministry said it was checking the cause of the explosion, which destroyed the home of Ayman Abu Nqeira, a Hamas member. He was wounded in the explosion and his son and three other relatives were killed, witnesses said.(Reporting by Nidal Almughrabi; Editing by Jeffrey Heller, Larry King)

Egypt's Sisi launches nationalist New Suez Canal celebration-Reuters By Eric Knecht-aug 6,15-yahoonews
ISMAILIA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egypt staged a show of international support on Thursday as it inaugurated a major extension of the Suez Canal which President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi hopes will power an economic turnaround in the Arab world's most populous country.The former armed forces chief, who led a military takeover two years ago but ran for president as a civilian last year, told a ceremony attended by leaders of France, Russia, Arab and African states that Egypt would defeat terrorism.The $8 billion New Suez Canal project was completed in just one year instead of three on Sisi's orders, but economists and shipping analysts question whether there is sufficient traffic and east-west trade to meet its ambitious revenue targets."Work did not take place in normal circumstances, and these circumstances still exist and we are fighting them and we will defeat them," Sisi said after signing an order allowing ships to cross the new stretch of waterway."Egypt during this year stood against the most dangerous terrorist threat that would burn the world if it could."The canal expansion is the centerpiece of a grand agenda by Sisi to cement his tenure as the man who brought stability and prosperity to Egypt after he ousted elected Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Mursi in 2013 following mass protests.The spectacular inauguration was also intended to bolster his international standing in the presence of French President Francois Hollande, Russian Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev, King Abdullah of Jordan, the emir of Kuwait and the king of Bahrain. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Cairo on Aug. 2 for a strategic dialogue with Egypt, but no top-level representative of the Obama administration attended the ceremony.Egypt's allies are keen to burnish its image in a region beset by turmoil. Cairo too faces an increasingly brazen two-year-old insurgency based across the Suez Canal in Sinai peninsula that has killed hundreds of police and soldiers.In an ominous turn, Islamic State's Egyptian affiliate released a video on Wednesday threatening to kill a Croatian hostage within 48 hours if Muslim women prisoners were not freed. Last month, the group managed to fire a rocket at an Egyptian navy vessel in the Mediterranean, near the coast of Israel and the Gaza Strip.But Egyptian authorities say the safety of ships through the stategic canal has never been under threat.Earlier Sisi, in full military regalia, sailed up the canal, flanked by a young boy in military fatigues waving the Egyptian flag, aboard the yacht El-Mahrousa, the first ship to pass through the Suez Canal when it was opened in November 1869.Newly delivered French Rafale fighters and U.S. F-16 warplanes staged a flypast, while helicopters flew overhead and naval vessels escorted the yacht in the televised ceremony.DELIVERANCE FROM PURGATORY-Thursday was declared a public holiday. Cairo and other cities were decked out in bunting, with fairy lights hung from the Nile river bridges and banners proclaiming "From the mother of the world (Egypt) to the whole world".Tents for the festivities in Ismailia were erected on the east bank of the Canal. A giant statue of a toiling canal worker with shovel in hand looks over the waterway. A towering statue of the ancient Egyptian Pharaonic goddess Isis with wings splayed looks out over the new channel, behind it fly the flags of the world. Nationalist songs by military brass blared.The yacht was an ambivalent symbol, since King Farouk, the last monarch to rule Egypt, sailed into exile in Italy aboard it after being ousted by the military in 1952.Egypt had been reeling from years of turmoil since the Arab Spring uprising that deposed autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, and many of the country's nearly 90 million population have suffered from a slower economy, a fall in tourism and high inflation.The government believes the New Suez Canal and an industrial zone to be developed around it will seal Egypt's deliverance from economic purgatory - to the skepticism of some.The project involved extending a waterway parallel to part of the 19th century canal connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, as well as deepening and widening the old channel - the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.It has been billed as a national accomplishment on par with President Gamal Abdel Nasser's nationalization of the original Suez Canal in 1956 and building of the Aswan Dam.In Cairo's Tahrir Square a crowd of about 300 gathered in the square honking horns with the color of the Egyptian flag."This isn't just for me, it's for my children and grandchildren. This is for the whole world," said 50-year-old Gamal Amin.But not everyone was enthralled. "There isn't anything new to be celebrating. There are more important things for Egyptian people that this money could have been used for," said Mahmoud, 24, walking past Tahrir.WISHFUL THINKING-For many Egyptians, as well as economists and experts, the immediate benefits of the expansion, funded largely by a public subscription in Egypt, are not obvious.The Suez Canal Authority expects a windfall of additional revenue -- $13.23 billion in annual revenue by 2023 from just over $5 billion in 2014, with the number of daily vessels rising from 49 to 97 over the same period.But sluggish world trade, competition from an expanded Panama Canal and a slower Chinese economy make it unlikely the project can achieve its revenue targets anytime soon or bring about a significant fall in unemployment from about 13 percent.Some economists have branded the projections 'wishful thinking' especially since Suez Canal revenue growth has failed to keep pace with growth in world trade since 2011.But British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon praised the project as a "modern wonder". Britain, Egypt's former colonial power, France and Israel launched an ill-fated attack on Egypt after Nasser nationalized the canal in 1956, but were forced to withdraw largely due to U.S. and Soviet pressure.(Additional reporting by Jake Rashbass and Ahmed Aboulenein; Writing by Yara Bayoumy; Editing by Paul Taylor)
More than 240,000 killed in Syria conflict: monitor-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Beirut (AFP) - More than 240,000 people, including 12,000 children, have been killed in Syria's conflict which broke out in March 2011, a monitoring group said Thursday.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it has documented the deaths of 240,381 people, up from its tally of 230,618 announced on June 9.The latest toll compiled by the Britain-based group shows that 11,964 children were among 71,781 civilians killed in Syria.At least 88,616 regime forces were killed -- or one thirds all deaths documented by the Observatory -- including 50,570 soldiers and the rest allied fighters.The monitor, which relies on a wide network of sources on the ground, put the death toll for rebel fighters at 42,384 and said 34,375 foreign jihadists have also been killed in Syria.The identity of another 3,225 people killed in the conflict remains unknown, according to the Observatory.The fate of 30,000 people who have gone missing in Syria, including 20,000 said to be held in Syrian jails, was not documented in the toll.It also did not take into account the fate of thousands of loyalist forces held by rebel factions or by the Islamic State jihadist group.The Syrian conflict began with anti-government protests before spiralling into a multi-front war after a brutal regime crackdown.
Damascus, Muscat to 'unite' efforts to end Syria war: media-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Muscat (AFP) - Muscat and Damascus agreed to work together to end Syria's brutal war, official media reported, as the Syrian foreign minister Thursday made his first Gulf visit since the conflict erupted in 2011.Foreign Minister Walid Muallem met Oman's chief diplomat Yussef bin Alawi to discuss "several regional and international topics of common interest", the official Omani news agency ONA said.They agreed "that now is the time to unite the efforts to end this (Syrian) crisis", according to Syria's state news agency SANA."The two sides agreed to continue cooperation and coordination to achieve the shared goals of their peoples and governments," it said.Syrian daily Al-Watan daily, close to the regime in Damascus, pointed out that Muscat had not cut diplomatic and political ties with President Bashar al-Assad's government, unlike other Arab countries in the Gulf.It was Muallem's "first visit to an Arab state in nearly four years, at the official invitation of his Omani counterpart", the paper reported in announcing the visit.Al-Watan also wrote of a possible meeting in Muscat, a traditional mediator in the region, between top diplomats from Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.Iran, along with Russia, is a key backer of Assad, while Saudi Arabia is a prominent supporter of the opposition and rebels fighting to topple his regime.On Wednesday, Muallem was in Tehran, where he met with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.The Syrian minister also met with Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia's deputy foreign minister and special representative to the Middle East.The visit to Tehran coincided with Iran's announcement of a new peace plan to bring an end to Syria's conflict, which has killed more than 230,000 people.
Islamic State group seizes central Syrian town-Associated Press By ZEINA KARAM-aug 6,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (AP) — The Islamic State group on Thursday seized a key town in central Syria following heavy clashes with President Bashar Assad's forces, in the militants' biggest advance since capturing the historic town of Palmyra in May, Syrian activists said.The heavily populated town of Qaryatain lies southwest of Palmyra, which is home to towering Roman ruins, and some 85 kilometers from Homs city. Its capture allows the IS group to link up areas under its control in and around Palmyra with areas in the eastern countryside of Qalamoun in Damascus province.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the IS group seized the town Thursday after three suicide bombers targeted army checkpoints at the entrance the day before, setting off a fierce battle.Websites affiliated with the Islamic State group confirmed the militants had taken over Qaryatain. A Facebook page through which the IS posts news of its military activities carried photos that purported to show the fighting to "liberate" the town, including a tank allegedly seized from the Syrian army.Qaryatain lies midway between the cities of Homs, Palmyra and Damascus. Activists say it has a mixed population of around 40,000 Sunni Muslims and Christians, as well as thousands of internally displaced people who had fled from Homs.The IS group had suffered a string of military setbacks after capturing Palmyra. In June, Kurdish fighters and their local allies expelled IS from the key northern border town of Tal Abyad, cutting off a major supply route for the group.Late last month, Turkey began carrying out airstrikes against IS targets in Syria. It also agreed to allow U.S. warplanes to use the strategic Incirlik Air Base for operations against IS in Syria. Turkey's foreign minister said Wednesday that American aircraft had begun to arrive at the base, which is close to the border with Syria, adding that an "extensive' fight against the extremists would soon begin.

Military reinforcements enter Yemen from Saudi Arabia-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Aden (AFP) - Saudi Arabia has sent new military equipment including tanks into Yemen to support loyalists fighting Iran-backed Huthi rebels, tribal and military sources said on Thursday."Dozens of tanks, armoured vehicles and personnel carriers, as well as hundreds of Yemeni soldiers trained in Saudi Arabia, arrived in Yemen overnight" via the Wadia border post in the north of the country, a Yemeni military source told AFP."These military reinforcements came from Saudi Arabia's Sharura region and are intended for the popular resistance and the national army," another military source said, referring to forces loyal to Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, currently in exile in Riyadh.Since March 26, a Saudi-led military coalition has supported the loyalists with air strikes to stop the advance of the Huthi rebels, who last year took over the capital Sanaa and pressed south into second city Aden earlier this year.Tribal sources told AFP that the reinforcements were headed towards the provinces of Marib, east of Sanaa, and Shabwa, to the southeast, "to expel the Huthis and their allies" from these two provinces, where heavy fighting has been ongoing.Pro-Hadi forces continue to gain ground in the south of the country after retaking Aden last month and seizing the country's largest airbase of Al-Anad to its north on Tuesday.This turnaround in the fighting coincided with the appearance on the battleground of modern military equipment that, according to military sources, the Saudi-led coalition had provided to Hadi's supporters.A military source on Monday reported the presence of "hundreds of soldiers from Gulf countries" that were members of the coalition in Aden, where they landed with "dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles" to "secure the city".Also on Thursday, pro- government forces and the rebels carried out a prisoner exchange, said the International Committee of the Red Cross, which monitored the operation.A Red Cross statement said seven Huthi rebels were transferred from Aden to Sanaa.They boarded a plane to Sanaa in return for the release of more than 20 southern pro-government fighters, the head of security at Aden airport, Colonel Ahmed al-Dulahi, told AFP.The ICRC also said that its president, Peter Maurer, would visit Yemen August 8-10 "to highlight the dire humanitarian situation in the country".The war in Yemen has killed nearly 4,000 people, half of them civilians, while 80 percent of the 21 million population needs aid and protection, the UN says.
Risk Iran might 'sanitize' Parchin before U.N. checks: U.S. think tank-Reuters-aug 6,15-yahoonews
VIENNA (Reuters) - A U.S. think tank said Iran might be cleaning up its Parchin military site, where some countries suspect experiments may have taken place in a possible atomic weapons program, but Iran denied this on Thursday.The U.S.-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) pointed to satellite images showing vehicles and container-like objects being moved at Parchin. Iran said this was part of road works in the area.ISIS said the images were taken after Iran signed a major deal with world powers to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.Such activity might complicate the work of the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whose job it is to judge whether Iran's past atomic activity had any military dimensions, including through access to Parchin."This renewed activity occurring after the signing of the (July 14 deal) raises obvious concerns that Iran is conducting further sanitization efforts to defeat IAEA verification," the Washington-based think tank said in a report."This renewed activity may be a last ditch effort to try to ensure that no incriminating evidence will be found," said ISIS, which was founded by a former IAEA nuclear inspector to bring scientific expertise to debates about nuclear weapons.Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York issued a statement saying it "strongly denies and rejects the baseless claims about the so-called clean-up operations in the Parchin Military Complex".It said there was construction work at Parchin to repair a road and denounced "the extensive vicious campaign at work ... to poison the positive environment at the global level.""The Islamic Republic of Iran.. has never had any military nuclear activity and has never been engaged in any unconventional act that would need a hasty cover-up," it added.U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters on Thursday he could not confirm the group's findings but that any clean up effort would be "cause for concern." He said the United States is confident it knows what has occurred at Parchin as well as its ability to detect previous nuclear activity at any Iranian site."You can't cover up past nuclear activity very easily - it lasts for decades, even longer," Toner said.White House spokesman Josh Earnest separately played down any such Iranian efforts, although he said at a daily briefing he could not discuss any specific intelligence matters.According to data given to the IAEA by some member states, Parchin might have housed hydrodynamic experiments to assess how specific materials react under high pressure, such as in a nuclear blast.A diplomat familiar with the Iran file said that the images showed the difficulty of implementing the July deal. "Old habits die hard," he said, referring to Iran, which in the past had failed to declare some of its nuclear activities to the IAEA.The Vienna-based agency, which had no immediate comment on the ISIS report, said in its latest extensive Iran report that it continued to observe vehicles and construction material at Parchin and that activities there since 2012 are likely to have undermined its ability to conduct verification.As a precondition to full sanctions relief, Tehran must provide sufficient information to the IAEA by Oct. 15 to allow it to prepare a final report on its past nuclear program.The Obama administration is defending the nuclear deal with Iran against strong opposition by some lawmakers who also criticize the IAEA for not releasing its own agreement with Iran to resolve concerns about Iran's nuclear past."I explained that my legal obligation is to protect safeguards confidentiality and this is an essential element of the international safeguards regime," IAEA head Yukiya Amano said after meeting U.S. politicians this week.(Reporting by Shadia Nasralla in Vienna, Louis Charbonneau at the United Nations, Parisa Hafezi in Ankara and Lesley Wroughton, Susan Heavey and Doina Chiacu in Washington; Editing by Tom Heneghan and Grant McCool)
Think tank: Crates, trucks at Iran site ahead of UN visit-Associated Press By GEORGE JAHN-aug 6,15-yahoonews
VIENNA (AP) — Satellite imagery of an Iranian site possibly used for work on a nuclear weapon shows crates, trucks and construction that may be linked to a renewed attempt to clean up before an inspection by the U.N.'s nuclear monitor, a nonproliferation institute said Thursday.The International Atomic Energy Agency — the U.N. watchdog — has repeatedly cited previous evidence of possible attempts to sanitize the Parchin site. But the report by the Institute for Science and International Security is significant because the IAEA plans to visit the site soon as part of the deal between Iran and six world powers focused on limiting Iran's nuclear programs in exchange for the removal of economic sanctions.The institute cited commercial satellite images in an email to The Associated Press, saying they show "renewed activity" at the site. It said that "could be related to refurbishment or cleanup prior to any IAEA inspection or the taking of environmental samples."It said the images show what appear to be a bulldozer or a steamroller, containers that have been repositioned and two new structures "of unknown purpose" that appeared between late May and early July."This renewed activity ... raises obvious concerns that Iran is conducting further sanitization efforts to defeat IAEA verification," said the Washington-based think tank, which is often consulted by the U.S. government.In Tehran, the foreign ministry called the report "baseless (and) ridiculous," saying any construction at the site is linked to road repairs — an assertion challenged by White House spokesman Josh Earnest."For more than a decade, the Iranians had gone to great lengths to try to cover it up," he said of the alleged weapons work at Parchin. "We're not particularly concerned that, over the course of the next couple of weeks, that they're going to succeed in covering up something that they haven't been able to cover up over the last decade."Access to Parchin would follow years of refusal by Iran, which denies any interest in — or work on — nuclear arms. Based on U.S., Israeli and other intelligence and its own research, the IAEA suspects that the Islamic Republic may have experimented with high-explosive detonators for nuclear arms at that military facility south of Tehran, and other weapons-related work elsewhere.___Associated Press writers Connie Cass in Washington and Nasser Karimi in Tehran contributed.
Libyan judge abducted by Islamic State group found dead-Associated Press By RAMI MUSA-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Libyan officials say the body of a judge abducted last month by an Islamic State affiliate has been found.Lawmaker Saad Abusharrada says Judge Mohamed al-Nemli's body was found on Thursday near the western coastal city of Misrata. He says the body had signs of torture and a gunshot wound.Residents have said that al-Nemli was taken hostage along Libya's east-to-west coastal road where IS fighters man checkpoints. The residents spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing reprisals.The municipality of the town of Zliten, where al-Nemli worked, confirmed his death.Libya has descended into chaos following the 2011 civil war that ended dictator Moammar Gadhafi's rule, with parts of the country run by Islamic militants. A militant faction declared its allegiance to the Islamic State group last year.

Kerry says U.S. will not accept restrictions in South China Sea-Reuters By David Brunnstrom and Praveen Menon-aug 6,15-yahoonews
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday accused China of restricting navigation and overflights in the disputed South China Sea, despite giving assurances that such movements would not be impeded.Addressing a regional meeting in Kuala Lumpur that has been dominated by the South China Sea, Kerry said China's construction of facilities for "military purposes" on man-made islands was raising tensions and risked "militarization" by other claimant states.Kerry's blunt criticism of Beijing, in front of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, is likely to lift the South China Sea up the agenda when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next month, some experts said."Freedom of navigation and overflight are among the essential pillars of international maritime law," Kerry told the East Asia Summit attended by foreign ministers from around the region."Despite assurances that these freedoms would be respected, we have seen warnings issued and restrictions attempted in recent months," Kerry said."Let me be clear: The United States will not accept restrictions on freedom of navigation and overflight, or other lawful uses of the sea."China has repeatedly warned Philippine military aircraft away from the artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea, Philippine military officials have said.The Chinese navy also issued eight warnings to the crew of a U.S. P8-A Poseidon surveillance aircraft when it conducted overflights in the area in May, according to CNN, which was aboard the U.S. aircraft.China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims.There was no immediate reaction from Chinese officials to Kerry's criticism, some of his strongest yet over the issue.Ruan Zongze, a former Chinese diplomat with the China Institute of International Studies, a think-tank affiliated with the Foreign Ministry, said China and the United States would not allow the South China Sea spat to overshadow Xi's trip."There's so much else to discuss. It's in neither country's interests to allow this to affect the broader picture," Ruan said.-COMMITMENT NOT "FULSOME"-China says the outposts in the Spratlys will have undefined military purposes, as well as help with maritime search and rescue, disaster relief and navigation.Wang said on Wednesday that Beijing had halted land reclamation and that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China shared a desire to resolve the thorny issue through dialogue.In June, China said it would soon complete some of its reclamation, while adding it would continue to build facilities on the man-made islands.Kerry said he hoped China had stopped island building, but that what was needed was an end to "militarization".He added that Wang's commitment to resolving the South China Sea issue had not been as "fulsome" as some had hoped."In my meeting with ... Wang Yi, he indicated I think a different readiness of China to try to resolve some of this, though I think it was still not as fulsome as many of us would like to see," Kerry later told reporters."But it's a beginning, and it may open up some opportunity for conversation on this in months ahead. We’ll have to wait and see."Kerry said he had urged all claimants to make a joint commitment to halt further land reclamation and construction of new facilities or militarization on disputed features.Carl Thayer, a South China Sea expert at Canberra's Australian Defence Force Academy, said while Washington was "upping the ante", Kerry's words had to be followed through with actions."China has already stopped construction. They're building the infrastructure," said Thayer. "China is slowly excising the maritime heart from Southeast Asia."Recent satellite images show China has almost finished building a 3,000-metre-long (10,000-foot) airstrip on one of its seven new islands in the Spratlys.The airstrip will be long enough to accommodate most Chinese military aircraft, security experts have said.ASEAN, which wound up its meetings on Thursday, said some members had "serious concerns" about land reclamation in the South China Sea, according to a final communique.Members states had wrangled hard before finally agreeing on the wording of the document.According to a senior Southeast Asian diplomat, most members of the 10-nation bloc pushed hard for a "united, comprehensive" statement on the South China Sea despite pressure from Beijing."Competing claims are not going to be resolved any time soon, so it is important for ASEAN to present a united front," he said.(Additional reporting by Trinna Leong and Amy Sawitta Lefevre in Kuala Lumpur and Ben Blanchard in Beijing; Writing by Dean Yates; Editing by Mike Collett-White)
No difficulty' for France to find Mistral buyers: Hollande-AFP-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
Ismailiya (Egypt) (AFP) - French President Francois Hollande said Thursday there would be "no difficulty" in finding new buyers for two Mistral warships that had been sold to Russia before Paris scrapped the deal.Paris refused to deliver the warships to Moscow in response to Russia's alleged aggression in Ukraine last year."There will be no difficulty in finding buyers," Hollande told reporters in the Egyptian canal city of Ismailiya, where he attended a ceremony to inaugurate an expanded Suez Canal.Two of the 200-metre (650-foot) amphibious helicopter-carriers were due for delivery to Russia by the end of this year in a deal worth an estimated 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion).The deal was formally cancelled Wednesday and, within hours, French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said several countries had expressed an interest in buying the ships, without giving details.France's Western partners had said any delivery of ships to Russia would undermine their efforts to isolate Moscow over its 2014 annexation of Crimea and support of separatists in eastern Ukraine.In June 2014, US President Barack Obama had urged Paris to "press the pause button" on the deal, signed in 2011."I spoke several times with President (Vladimir) Putin and a good agreement has been reached," Hollande said Thursday.Moscow will be reimbursed "less than 1.2 billion euros," he said.The "Russians will be refunded with the amount that had been paid and the expenses incurred," he said."Besides that, these ships are triggering a kind of demand from many countries; there will be no difficulties to find a buyer."Hollande said parliament will have to "ratify this (cancellation) agreement" and that "the precise figures will be in the parliamentary document".He also said there would be no penalties for France "related to the breaking of the contract".Russia has said France had already returned the money and considered the matter closed.In April, in a sign that the deal was on rocky ground, Putin downplayed the importance of the ships but insisted that the French side reimburse Moscow "all expenses" if the contract were to be terminated.Experts say France will have to cut the price to make the warships attractive to resell them as most countries with the money and desire to buy boats of that size have their own ship-building industries.France itself has three Mistrals in its fleet and does not have the funds to add two more, experts say.

Obama declares disaster for typhoon-devastated Saipan-Associated Press By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER-aug 6,15-yahoonews

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the (ARAB/MUSLIM) nations that are round about thee,(ISRAEL) when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts,(WHEN RUSSIA/MUSLIMS GET DEFEATED THIER BODIES GET EATEN BY BIRDS,ANIMALS IN ISRAEL MIGRATION SEASON) and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;(NUKES) and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,(JERUSALEM) and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.(200 MILES) (THE SIZE OF ISRAEL)
ISAIAH 66:15-18
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire,(NUKES) and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(FROM FRIGHT)
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
ISAIAH 24:17-23 KJV
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

Japan marks 70th anniversary of Hiroshima atomic bombing-AFP By Quentin Tyberghien and Kazuhiro Nogi-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
Hiroshima (Japan) (AFP) - Tens of thousands gathered in Hiroshima Thursday to mark 70 years since the dropping of the first atomic bomb, with opinion still divided over whether its deadly destruction was justified.Bells tolled as a solemn crowd observed a moment of silence at 8:15 am local time (2315 GMT), when the detonation turned the bustling city into an inferno, killing thousands instantly and leaving others with horrific injuries to die a slow death.Children, elderly survivors and delegates representing 100 countries were in the crowd with many placing flowers in front of the cenotaph at Peace Memorial Park, as doves were released into the air.American B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped a bomb, dubbed "Little Boy", on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, in one of the closing chapters of World War II.Nearly everything around it was incinerated by a wall of heat up to 4,000 degrees Celsius -- hot enough to melt steel."As the only country ever attacked by an atomic bomb... we have a mission to create a world without nuclear arms," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told the crowd."We have been tasked with conveying the inhumanity of nuclear weapons, across generations and borders."Japan plans to submit a fresh resolution to abolish nuclear weapons at the UN general assembly later this year, he said.US Secretary of State John Kerry, at a regional diplomatic meeting in Malaysia, described the bombing as a "very, very powerful reminder" of the impact of war.US ambassador Caroline Kennedy and under-secretary for arms control Rose Gottemoeller, the most senior Washington official ever sent to the service, attended Thursday's ceremony.- 'Absolute evil' -This year's memorial comes days ahead of the scheduled restart of a nuclear reactor in southern Japan -- the first one to go back on line after a two-year hiatus following the tsunami-sparked disaster at Fukushima in 2011.While Abe has pushed to switch reactors back on, public opposition remains high after the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.Japan's nationalist leader has also been criticised for efforts to expand the role of his pacifist country's Self-Defence Forces, changes that open the door to putting troops into combat for the first time since the war.In a fresh controversy over the unpopular moves, defence minister Gen Nakatani admitted that the new security laws being debated in parliament could -- in theory -- allow for Japan to transport nuclear weapons to allies, but he quickly dismissed it as unlikely.Bomb survivors, known as 'hibakusha', demanded that Abe drop the military plan."You must never make Japan a country that repeats the same mistakes (of the past)," Yukio Yoshioka, an 86-year-old, told Abe during a brief meeting on Thursday, local media said.In his annual speech, Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil".About 140,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the Hiroshima attack, including those who survived the bombing itself but died in the following days, weeks and months from radiation sickness.Gums bled, teeth fell out, hair came off in clumps; there were cancers, premature births, malformed babies and sudden deaths.- 'Did the right thing' -On Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said hospitals are still treating thousands of bomb survivors for long-term health effects."I don't know why I survived and lived this long. The more I think about it... the more painful it becomes to recall," Hiroshima survivor Sunao Tsuboi, 90, told AFP before the anniversary.On August 9, the port city of Nagasaki was also attacked with an atomic bomb, killing more than 70,000 people.The twin bombings dealt the final blows to imperial Japan, which surrendered on August 15, 1945, bringing an end to World War II.While some historians say that they prevented many more casualties in a planned land invasion, critics counter that the attacks were not necessary to end the war, arguing that Japan was already heading for imminent defeat.Paul Tibbets, who piloted the Enola Gay, said before his death in 2007 that he never had second thoughts about dropping the bomb."I knew we did the right thing," he said in a newspaper interview.In the decades since, Japan has forged a new self-narrative as victim, as well as expansionist aggressor that was the cause of the Pacific War.But its militarist past evokes strong emotions, particularly in China and Korea, which suffered from Japan's brutal march across Asia."Ceremonies like this water down the fact that Japan was also a perpetrator of war crimes," said a scathing editorial in China's Global Times newspaper, which is close to the ruling Communist party."This shows how adept Japan is at scheming and calculating."

Driver rams car into Israeli soldiers, wounds 3: military-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
The incident occurred at a junction midway between Ramallah and Nablus in the Israeli-occupied territory, and soldiers "fired toward the vehicle in order to prevent the suspect's escape, confirming a hit," Colonel Peter Lerner said.The car, with an Israeli license plate, could be seen overturned at the scene.Palestinian security officials named the driver as Mohammed Badwan, a Palestinian from Biddu village east of Ramallah, and said Israeli forces later searched his home.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the man as a "terrorist" and praised the army for its quick reaction.An army statement said two of the three wounded soldiers "sustained severe injuries."The third was shown on publicly-owned Channel One television, sitting up in a hospital bed, with bandaged arms.Media said the driver was taken to a Jerusalem hospital in serious condition.The Islamic militant group Hamas did not take responsibility for the attack but praised it as an "appropriate response" to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.Netanyahu said on Twitter: "I'd like to praise the action of the (Israeli) soldiers, who reacted quickly and neutralised the terrorist."And Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said: "In the struggle against Palestinian terrorism we need determination and an iron fist against the terrorists and their despatchers."Palestinian assailants last year carried out a series of car attacks -- some of them fatal -- against Israelis in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Egypt's Sisi launches nationalist New Suez Canal celebration-Reuters By Eric Knecht-aug 6,15-yahoonews
ISMAILIA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egypt staged a show of international support on Thursday as it inaugurated a major extension of the Suez Canal which President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi hopes will power an economic turnaround in the Arab world's most populous country.The former armed forces chief, who led a military takeover two years ago but ran for president as a civilian last year, told a ceremony attended by leaders of France, Russia, Arab and African states that Egypt would defeat terrorism.The $8 billion New Suez Canal project was completed in just one year instead of three on Sisi's orders, but economists and shipping analysts question whether there is sufficient traffic and east-west trade to meet its ambitious revenue targets."Work did not take place in normal circumstances, and these circumstances still exist and we are fighting them and we will defeat them," Sisi said after signing an order allowing ships to cross the new stretch of waterway."Egypt during this year stood against the most dangerous terrorist threat that would burn the world if it could."The canal expansion is the centerpiece of a grand agenda by Sisi to cement his tenure as the man who brought stability and prosperity to Egypt after he ousted elected Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Mursi in 2013 following mass protests.The spectacular inauguration was also intended to bolster his international standing in the presence of French President Francois Hollande, Russian Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev, King Abdullah of Jordan, the emir of Kuwait and the king of Bahrain. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Cairo on Aug. 2 for a strategic dialogue with Egypt, but no top-level representative of the Obama administration attended the ceremony.Egypt's allies are keen to burnish its image in a region beset by turmoil. Cairo too faces an increasingly brazen two-year-old insurgency based across the Suez Canal in Sinai peninsula that has killed hundreds of police and soldiers.In an ominous turn, Islamic State's Egyptian affiliate released a video on Wednesday threatening to kill a Croatian hostage within 48 hours if Muslim women prisoners were not freed. Last month, the group managed to fire a rocket at an Egyptian navy vessel in the Mediterranean, near the coast of Israel and the Gaza Strip.But Egyptian authorities say the safety of ships through the stategic canal has never been under threat.Earlier Sisi, in full military regalia, sailed up the canal, flanked by a young boy in military fatigues waving the Egyptian flag, aboard the yacht El-Mahrousa, the first ship to pass through the Suez Canal when it was opened in November 1869.Newly delivered French Rafale fighters and U.S. F-16 warplanes staged a flypast, while helicopters flew overhead and naval vessels escorted the yacht in the televised ceremony.DELIVERANCE FROM PURGATORY-Thursday was declared a public holiday. Cairo and other cities were decked out in bunting, with fairy lights hung from the Nile river bridges and banners proclaiming "From the mother of the world (Egypt) to the whole world".Tents for the festivities in Ismailia were erected on the east bank of the Canal. A giant statue of a toiling canal worker with shovel in hand looks over the waterway. A towering statue of the ancient Egyptian Pharaonic goddess Isis with wings splayed looks out over the new channel, behind it fly the flags of the world. Nationalist songs by military brass blared.The yacht was an ambivalent symbol, since King Farouk, the last monarch to rule Egypt, sailed into exile in Italy aboard it after being ousted by the military in 1952.Egypt had been reeling from years of turmoil since the Arab Spring uprising that deposed autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, and many of the country's nearly 90 million population have suffered from a slower economy, a fall in tourism and high inflation.The government believes the New Suez Canal and an industrial zone to be developed around it will seal Egypt's deliverance from economic purgatory - to the skepticism of some.The project involved extending a waterway parallel to part of the 19th century canal connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, as well as deepening and widening the old channel - the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.It has been billed as a national accomplishment on par with President Gamal Abdel Nasser's nationalization of the original Suez Canal in 1956 and building of the Aswan Dam.In Cairo's Tahrir Square a crowd of about 300 gathered in the square honking horns with the color of the Egyptian flag."This isn't just for me, it's for my children and grandchildren. This is for the whole world," said 50-year-old Gamal Amin.But not everyone was enthralled. "There isn't anything new to be celebrating. There are more important things for Egyptian people that this money could have been used for," said Mahmoud, 24, walking past Tahrir.WISHFUL THINKING-For many Egyptians, as well as economists and experts, the immediate benefits of the expansion, funded largely by a public subscription in Egypt, are not obvious.The Suez Canal Authority expects a windfall of additional revenue -- $13.23 billion in annual revenue by 2023 from just over $5 billion in 2014, with the number of daily vessels rising from 49 to 97 over the same period.But sluggish world trade, competition from an expanded Panama Canal and a slower Chinese economy make it unlikely the project can achieve its revenue targets anytime soon or bring about a significant fall in unemployment from about 13 percent.Some economists have branded the projections 'wishful thinking' especially since Suez Canal revenue growth has failed to keep pace with growth in world trade since 2011.But British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon praised the project as a "modern wonder". Britain, Egypt's former colonial power, France and Israel launched an ill-fated attack on Egypt after Nasser nationalized the canal in 1956, but were forced to withdraw largely due to U.S. and Soviet pressure.(Additional reporting by Jake Rashbass and Ahmed Aboulenein; Writing by Yara Bayoumy; Editing by Paul Taylor)
More than 240,000 killed in Syria conflict: monitor-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Beirut (AFP) - More than 240,000 people, including 12,000 children, have been killed in Syria's conflict which broke out in March 2011, a monitoring group said Thursday.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it has documented the deaths of 240,381 people, up from its tally of 230,618 announced on June 9.The latest toll compiled by the Britain-based group shows that 11,964 children were among 71,781 civilians killed in Syria.At least 88,616 regime forces were killed -- or one thirds all deaths documented by the Observatory -- including 50,570 soldiers and the rest allied fighters.The monitor, which relies on a wide network of sources on the ground, put the death toll for rebel fighters at 42,384 and said 34,375 foreign jihadists have also been killed in Syria.The identity of another 3,225 people killed in the conflict remains unknown, according to the Observatory.The fate of 30,000 people who have gone missing in Syria, including 20,000 said to be held in Syrian jails, was not documented in the toll.It also did not take into account the fate of thousands of loyalist forces held by rebel factions or by the Islamic State jihadist group.The Syrian conflict began with anti-government protests before spiralling into a multi-front war after a brutal regime crackdown.
Damascus, Muscat to 'unite' efforts to end Syria war: media-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Muscat (AFP) - Muscat and Damascus agreed to work together to end Syria's brutal war, official media reported, as the Syrian foreign minister Thursday made his first Gulf visit since the conflict erupted in 2011.Foreign Minister Walid Muallem met Oman's chief diplomat Yussef bin Alawi to discuss "several regional and international topics of common interest", the official Omani news agency ONA said.They agreed "that now is the time to unite the efforts to end this (Syrian) crisis", according to Syria's state news agency SANA."The two sides agreed to continue cooperation and coordination to achieve the shared goals of their peoples and governments," it said.Syrian daily Al-Watan daily, close to the regime in Damascus, pointed out that Muscat had not cut diplomatic and political ties with President Bashar al-Assad's government, unlike other Arab countries in the Gulf.It was Muallem's "first visit to an Arab state in nearly four years, at the official invitation of his Omani counterpart", the paper reported in announcing the visit.Al-Watan also wrote of a possible meeting in Muscat, a traditional mediator in the region, between top diplomats from Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.Iran, along with Russia, is a key backer of Assad, while Saudi Arabia is a prominent supporter of the opposition and rebels fighting to topple his regime.On Wednesday, Muallem was in Tehran, where he met with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.The Syrian minister also met with Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia's deputy foreign minister and special representative to the Middle East.The visit to Tehran coincided with Iran's announcement of a new peace plan to bring an end to Syria's conflict, which has killed more than 230,000 people.
Islamic State group seizes central Syrian town-Associated Press By ZEINA KARAM-aug 6,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (AP) — The Islamic State group on Thursday seized a key town in central Syria following heavy clashes with President Bashar Assad's forces, in the militants' biggest advance since capturing the historic town of Palmyra in May, Syrian activists said.The heavily populated town of Qaryatain lies southwest of Palmyra, which is home to towering Roman ruins, and some 85 kilometers from Homs city. Its capture allows the IS group to link up areas under its control in and around Palmyra with areas in the eastern countryside of Qalamoun in Damascus province.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the IS group seized the town Thursday after three suicide bombers targeted army checkpoints at the entrance the day before, setting off a fierce battle.Websites affiliated with the Islamic State group confirmed the militants had taken over Qaryatain. A Facebook page through which the IS posts news of its military activities carried photos that purported to show the fighting to "liberate" the town, including a tank allegedly seized from the Syrian army.Qaryatain lies midway between the cities of Homs, Palmyra and Damascus. Activists say it has a mixed population of around 40,000 Sunni Muslims and Christians, as well as thousands of internally displaced people who had fled from Homs.The IS group had suffered a string of military setbacks after capturing Palmyra. In June, Kurdish fighters and their local allies expelled IS from the key northern border town of Tal Abyad, cutting off a major supply route for the group.Late last month, Turkey began carrying out airstrikes against IS targets in Syria. It also agreed to allow U.S. warplanes to use the strategic Incirlik Air Base for operations against IS in Syria. Turkey's foreign minister said Wednesday that American aircraft had begun to arrive at the base, which is close to the border with Syria, adding that an "extensive' fight against the extremists would soon begin.

Military reinforcements enter Yemen from Saudi Arabia-AFP-aug 6,15-yahoonews
Aden (AFP) - Saudi Arabia has sent new military equipment including tanks into Yemen to support loyalists fighting Iran-backed Huthi rebels, tribal and military sources said on Thursday."Dozens of tanks, armoured vehicles and personnel carriers, as well as hundreds of Yemeni soldiers trained in Saudi Arabia, arrived in Yemen overnight" via the Wadia border post in the north of the country, a Yemeni military source told AFP."These military reinforcements came from Saudi Arabia's Sharura region and are intended for the popular resistance and the national army," another military source said, referring to forces loyal to Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, currently in exile in Riyadh.Since March 26, a Saudi-led military coalition has supported the loyalists with air strikes to stop the advance of the Huthi rebels, who last year took over the capital Sanaa and pressed south into second city Aden earlier this year.Tribal sources told AFP that the reinforcements were headed towards the provinces of Marib, east of Sanaa, and Shabwa, to the southeast, "to expel the Huthis and their allies" from these two provinces, where heavy fighting has been ongoing.Pro-Hadi forces continue to gain ground in the south of the country after retaking Aden last month and seizing the country's largest airbase of Al-Anad to its north on Tuesday.This turnaround in the fighting coincided with the appearance on the battleground of modern military equipment that, according to military sources, the Saudi-led coalition had provided to Hadi's supporters.A military source on Monday reported the presence of "hundreds of soldiers from Gulf countries" that were members of the coalition in Aden, where they landed with "dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles" to "secure the city".Also on Thursday, pro- government forces and the rebels carried out a prisoner exchange, said the International Committee of the Red Cross, which monitored the operation.A Red Cross statement said seven Huthi rebels were transferred from Aden to Sanaa.They boarded a plane to Sanaa in return for the release of more than 20 southern pro-government fighters, the head of security at Aden airport, Colonel Ahmed al-Dulahi, told AFP.The ICRC also said that its president, Peter Maurer, would visit Yemen August 8-10 "to highlight the dire humanitarian situation in the country".The war in Yemen has killed nearly 4,000 people, half of them civilians, while 80 percent of the 21 million population needs aid and protection, the UN says.
Risk Iran might 'sanitize' Parchin before U.N. checks: U.S. think tank-Reuters-aug 6,15-yahoonews
VIENNA (Reuters) - A U.S. think tank said Iran might be cleaning up its Parchin military site, where some countries suspect experiments may have taken place in a possible atomic weapons program, but Iran denied this on Thursday.The U.S.-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) pointed to satellite images showing vehicles and container-like objects being moved at Parchin. Iran said this was part of road works in the area.ISIS said the images were taken after Iran signed a major deal with world powers to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.Such activity might complicate the work of the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whose job it is to judge whether Iran's past atomic activity had any military dimensions, including through access to Parchin."This renewed activity occurring after the signing of the (July 14 deal) raises obvious concerns that Iran is conducting further sanitization efforts to defeat IAEA verification," the Washington-based think tank said in a report."This renewed activity may be a last ditch effort to try to ensure that no incriminating evidence will be found," said ISIS, which was founded by a former IAEA nuclear inspector to bring scientific expertise to debates about nuclear weapons.Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York issued a statement saying it "strongly denies and rejects the baseless claims about the so-called clean-up operations in the Parchin Military Complex".It said there was construction work at Parchin to repair a road and denounced "the extensive vicious campaign at work ... to poison the positive environment at the global level.""The Islamic Republic of Iran.. has never had any military nuclear activity and has never been engaged in any unconventional act that would need a hasty cover-up," it added.U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters on Thursday he could not confirm the group's findings but that any clean up effort would be "cause for concern." He said the United States is confident it knows what has occurred at Parchin as well as its ability to detect previous nuclear activity at any Iranian site."You can't cover up past nuclear activity very easily - it lasts for decades, even longer," Toner said.White House spokesman Josh Earnest separately played down any such Iranian efforts, although he said at a daily briefing he could not discuss any specific intelligence matters.According to data given to the IAEA by some member states, Parchin might have housed hydrodynamic experiments to assess how specific materials react under high pressure, such as in a nuclear blast.A diplomat familiar with the Iran file said that the images showed the difficulty of implementing the July deal. "Old habits die hard," he said, referring to Iran, which in the past had failed to declare some of its nuclear activities to the IAEA.The Vienna-based agency, which had no immediate comment on the ISIS report, said in its latest extensive Iran report that it continued to observe vehicles and construction material at Parchin and that activities there since 2012 are likely to have undermined its ability to conduct verification.As a precondition to full sanctions relief, Tehran must provide sufficient information to the IAEA by Oct. 15 to allow it to prepare a final report on its past nuclear program.The Obama administration is defending the nuclear deal with Iran against strong opposition by some lawmakers who also criticize the IAEA for not releasing its own agreement with Iran to resolve concerns about Iran's nuclear past."I explained that my legal obligation is to protect safeguards confidentiality and this is an essential element of the international safeguards regime," IAEA head Yukiya Amano said after meeting U.S. politicians this week.(Reporting by Shadia Nasralla in Vienna, Louis Charbonneau at the United Nations, Parisa Hafezi in Ankara and Lesley Wroughton, Susan Heavey and Doina Chiacu in Washington; Editing by Tom Heneghan and Grant McCool)
Think tank: Crates, trucks at Iran site ahead of UN visit-Associated Press By GEORGE JAHN-aug 6,15-yahoonews
VIENNA (AP) — Satellite imagery of an Iranian site possibly used for work on a nuclear weapon shows crates, trucks and construction that may be linked to a renewed attempt to clean up before an inspection by the U.N.'s nuclear monitor, a nonproliferation institute said Thursday.The International Atomic Energy Agency — the U.N. watchdog — has repeatedly cited previous evidence of possible attempts to sanitize the Parchin site. But the report by the Institute for Science and International Security is significant because the IAEA plans to visit the site soon as part of the deal between Iran and six world powers focused on limiting Iran's nuclear programs in exchange for the removal of economic sanctions.The institute cited commercial satellite images in an email to The Associated Press, saying they show "renewed activity" at the site. It said that "could be related to refurbishment or cleanup prior to any IAEA inspection or the taking of environmental samples."It said the images show what appear to be a bulldozer or a steamroller, containers that have been repositioned and two new structures "of unknown purpose" that appeared between late May and early July."This renewed activity ... raises obvious concerns that Iran is conducting further sanitization efforts to defeat IAEA verification," said the Washington-based think tank, which is often consulted by the U.S. government.In Tehran, the foreign ministry called the report "baseless (and) ridiculous," saying any construction at the site is linked to road repairs — an assertion challenged by White House spokesman Josh Earnest."For more than a decade, the Iranians had gone to great lengths to try to cover it up," he said of the alleged weapons work at Parchin. "We're not particularly concerned that, over the course of the next couple of weeks, that they're going to succeed in covering up something that they haven't been able to cover up over the last decade."Access to Parchin would follow years of refusal by Iran, which denies any interest in — or work on — nuclear arms. Based on U.S., Israeli and other intelligence and its own research, the IAEA suspects that the Islamic Republic may have experimented with high-explosive detonators for nuclear arms at that military facility south of Tehran, and other weapons-related work elsewhere.___Associated Press writers Connie Cass in Washington and Nasser Karimi in Tehran contributed.
Libyan judge abducted by Islamic State group found dead-Associated Press By RAMI MUSA-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Libyan officials say the body of a judge abducted last month by an Islamic State affiliate has been found.Lawmaker Saad Abusharrada says Judge Mohamed al-Nemli's body was found on Thursday near the western coastal city of Misrata. He says the body had signs of torture and a gunshot wound.Residents have said that al-Nemli was taken hostage along Libya's east-to-west coastal road where IS fighters man checkpoints. The residents spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing reprisals.The municipality of the town of Zliten, where al-Nemli worked, confirmed his death.Libya has descended into chaos following the 2011 civil war that ended dictator Moammar Gadhafi's rule, with parts of the country run by Islamic militants. A militant faction declared its allegiance to the Islamic State group last year.

Kerry says U.S. will not accept restrictions in South China Sea-Reuters By David Brunnstrom and Praveen Menon-aug 6,15-yahoonews
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday accused China of restricting navigation and overflights in the disputed South China Sea, despite giving assurances that such movements would not be impeded.Addressing a regional meeting in Kuala Lumpur that has been dominated by the South China Sea, Kerry said China's construction of facilities for "military purposes" on man-made islands was raising tensions and risked "militarization" by other claimant states.Kerry's blunt criticism of Beijing, in front of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, is likely to lift the South China Sea up the agenda when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next month, some experts said."Freedom of navigation and overflight are among the essential pillars of international maritime law," Kerry told the East Asia Summit attended by foreign ministers from around the region."Despite assurances that these freedoms would be respected, we have seen warnings issued and restrictions attempted in recent months," Kerry said."Let me be clear: The United States will not accept restrictions on freedom of navigation and overflight, or other lawful uses of the sea."China has repeatedly warned Philippine military aircraft away from the artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea, Philippine military officials have said.The Chinese navy also issued eight warnings to the crew of a U.S. P8-A Poseidon surveillance aircraft when it conducted overflights in the area in May, according to CNN, which was aboard the U.S. aircraft.China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims.There was no immediate reaction from Chinese officials to Kerry's criticism, some of his strongest yet over the issue.Ruan Zongze, a former Chinese diplomat with the China Institute of International Studies, a think-tank affiliated with the Foreign Ministry, said China and the United States would not allow the South China Sea spat to overshadow Xi's trip."There's so much else to discuss. It's in neither country's interests to allow this to affect the broader picture," Ruan said.-COMMITMENT NOT "FULSOME"-China says the outposts in the Spratlys will have undefined military purposes, as well as help with maritime search and rescue, disaster relief and navigation.Wang said on Wednesday that Beijing had halted land reclamation and that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China shared a desire to resolve the thorny issue through dialogue.In June, China said it would soon complete some of its reclamation, while adding it would continue to build facilities on the man-made islands.Kerry said he hoped China had stopped island building, but that what was needed was an end to "militarization".He added that Wang's commitment to resolving the South China Sea issue had not been as "fulsome" as some had hoped."In my meeting with ... Wang Yi, he indicated I think a different readiness of China to try to resolve some of this, though I think it was still not as fulsome as many of us would like to see," Kerry later told reporters."But it's a beginning, and it may open up some opportunity for conversation on this in months ahead. We’ll have to wait and see."Kerry said he had urged all claimants to make a joint commitment to halt further land reclamation and construction of new facilities or militarization on disputed features.Carl Thayer, a South China Sea expert at Canberra's Australian Defence Force Academy, said while Washington was "upping the ante", Kerry's words had to be followed through with actions."China has already stopped construction. They're building the infrastructure," said Thayer. "China is slowly excising the maritime heart from Southeast Asia."Recent satellite images show China has almost finished building a 3,000-metre-long (10,000-foot) airstrip on one of its seven new islands in the Spratlys.The airstrip will be long enough to accommodate most Chinese military aircraft, security experts have said.ASEAN, which wound up its meetings on Thursday, said some members had "serious concerns" about land reclamation in the South China Sea, according to a final communique.Members states had wrangled hard before finally agreeing on the wording of the document.According to a senior Southeast Asian diplomat, most members of the 10-nation bloc pushed hard for a "united, comprehensive" statement on the South China Sea despite pressure from Beijing."Competing claims are not going to be resolved any time soon, so it is important for ASEAN to present a united front," he said.(Additional reporting by Trinna Leong and Amy Sawitta Lefevre in Kuala Lumpur and Ben Blanchard in Beijing; Writing by Dean Yates; Editing by Mike Collett-White)
No difficulty' for France to find Mistral buyers: Hollande-AFP-AUG 6,15-YAHOONEWS
Ismailiya (Egypt) (AFP) - French President Francois Hollande said Thursday there would be "no difficulty" in finding new buyers for two Mistral warships that had been sold to Russia before Paris scrapped the deal.Paris refused to deliver the warships to Moscow in response to Russia's alleged aggression in Ukraine last year."There will be no difficulty in finding buyers," Hollande told reporters in the Egyptian canal city of Ismailiya, where he attended a ceremony to inaugurate an expanded Suez Canal.Two of the 200-metre (650-foot) amphibious helicopter-carriers were due for delivery to Russia by the end of this year in a deal worth an estimated 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion).The deal was formally cancelled Wednesday and, within hours, French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said several countries had expressed an interest in buying the ships, without giving details.France's Western partners had said any delivery of ships to Russia would undermine their efforts to isolate Moscow over its 2014 annexation of Crimea and support of separatists in eastern Ukraine.In June 2014, US President Barack Obama had urged Paris to "press the pause button" on the deal, signed in 2011."I spoke several times with President (Vladimir) Putin and a good agreement has been reached," Hollande said Thursday.Moscow will be reimbursed "less than 1.2 billion euros," he said.The "Russians will be refunded with the amount that had been paid and the expenses incurred," he said."Besides that, these ships are triggering a kind of demand from many countries; there will be no difficulties to find a buyer."Hollande said parliament will have to "ratify this (cancellation) agreement" and that "the precise figures will be in the parliamentary document".He also said there would be no penalties for France "related to the breaking of the contract".Russia has said France had already returned the money and considered the matter closed.In April, in a sign that the deal was on rocky ground, Putin downplayed the importance of the ships but insisted that the French side reimburse Moscow "all expenses" if the contract were to be terminated.Experts say France will have to cut the price to make the warships attractive to resell them as most countries with the money and desire to buy boats of that size have their own ship-building industries.France itself has three Mistrals in its fleet and does not have the funds to add two more, experts say.

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
