UK seeks Nordic support on EU reform By Benjamin Fox-AUG 24,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:25-UK finance minister George Osborne will kick off his government’s bid to reform its EU membership terms on a tour of Sweden and Denmark on Monday (24 August), promising that the UK’s reform agenda will also benefit them.Osborne, who is PM David Cameron’s closest ally in government and a likely replacement when the prime minister steps down ahead of the next general election in 2020, will meet with Swedish prime minister Stefan Loefven and Denmark’s premier Lars Loekke Rasmussen, as well as foreign and finance ministers.He also met with Finland’s finance minister Alexander Stubb on Sunday.Osborne will tell counterparts the UK hopes to “reform the EU so its works for all its citizens,” according to a statement released by the treasury office.“We are determined to deliver a new settlement for Europe that works for everyone within it", he will say.Having claimed an election victory in May which gave his Conservative party an outright majority, Cameron swiftly announced plans to hold an in/out referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017.At an EU summit in June, he set out a list of demands, including guarantees that decision-making on the EU’s single market will not be dominated by the 19 eurozone countries; curbs on access to welfare benefits for EU migrants; and an opt-out from the preamble to EU treaties which talks of moving towards “ever closer Union”.Like the UK, Sweden and Denmark are outside the eurozone and have no plans to join the currency bloc any time soon.Both countries are also viewed as traditional allies of the UK in European affairs, being more sceptical of European integration, and voting with the UK on EU budget reform.Meanwhile, the domestic battle over the UK’s EU status will begin in earnest next month.The No campaign - likely to be dominated by eurosceptic Conservatives and Ukip - is expected to formally launch in the coming weeks, having amassed a war chest of over £7 million (€9 million), mainly from Conservative donors.The group is likely to be led by Matthew Elliott, a former aide to Conservative MEP Timothy Kirkhope.Elliott previously ran eurosceptic organisations such as Business for Britain and the Taxpayers’ Alliance.The government’s EU referendum bill will also face the report stage in the UK parliament this autumn, where it is likely to be amended by both the government and opposition parties.

Train scare prompts talks of EU security rules By Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 24. Aug, 18:37-Transport ministers are set to discuss security measures at train stations at their next meeting in October, after a gunman boarded the international high-speed Thalys train in Brussels.The European Commission on Monday (24 August) said it wants security to be a top issue at the October meeting and is willing to propose new legislative measures, if necessary.“We have shown that we are politically willing to discuss potential legislative measures at the Transport Council in October,” Jakub Adamowicz, a commission spokesman, told reporters in Brussels.But the commission said any EU-level response to the foiled attack cannot undermine the Schengen passport-free travel between the 26 participating member states.“We have to take measures which are necessary but we don’t want to overreact, which could turn out to be counter-productive, so we have to respect proportionality”, said Adamowicz.Ayoub el-Khazzani, a 26-year old Moroccan, boarded the Thalys train armed with AK-47 assault rifle and automatic pistol on Friday at the Midi station in Brussels.Passengers wrestled the suspected Islamist to the ground as he was loading the assault rifle after the train crew barricade itself in an adjoining staff room.Thalys noted that two of its agents had also assisted in taking down el-Khazzani.-Adapting Schengen-Charles Michel, Belgium’s prime minister, has since called for an emergency meeting with France, Germany and the Netherlands.His office said the talks would revolve around ideas on "how to reinforce anti-terrorist measures, notably identity and baggage controls”.Michel in a tweet was quoted as suggesting that new border control rules may need to be adopted despite the Schengen rules.His spokesperson Frederic Cauderlier told this website that the controls won’t undermine Schengen but must be adapted to confront the reality of terrorism.“Yes to the free movement of people but No to free movement of people armed with Kalashnikovs,” he said.Cauderlier said neighbouring countries like Germany, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands “tell us the same thing, they are conscious that we must reinforce border control checks. But let me very clear, we do not question Schengen.”He said borders won’t be closed and no X-ray machines will be installed at train stations. Instead, he said only spot-check controls will be imposed.“It is impossible for us to check the IDs of every passenger in trains or planes inside the Schengen zone,” he said.-Sensitive issue-He said French-Belgian cooperation will also get a boost, including sending in more police patrols in Paris and Brussels stations.The issue of identity checks is sensitive given the strict EU rules on free movement.Systematic border control checks are outlawed but member states can, in case of serious threat to internal or public security, reintroduce them for a period of up to 30 days.“Security checks that are conducted for the purpose of railway security can be compatible within the Schengen framework if they do not have an effect equivalent to border checks,” said EU commission spokesperson Christian Wiegand.Asked to specify, Wiegand said any police border checks must be targeted on known actions.He said ID checks on trains are possible but only “if they do not have an equivalent to border checks.”

A FALSE PROPHET COMES FROM THE VATICAN ALSO AT THIS TIME.

ISAIAH 23:15-17
15  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16  Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE 70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.(7TH-REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION TODAY AND THE SHORT SPACE IS-THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD CONTROL FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.BUT WILL HAVE ITS MIGHTY WORLD POWER FOR THE FULL 7 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE THE BEAST FROM THE EU.AND THE VATICAN POPE WILL BE THE WHORE THAT RIDES THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POWER.AND THE 2 EUROPEAN UNION POWER FREAKS WILL CONTROL AND DECIEVE THE WHOLE EARTH INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE EUROPEAN UNION DICTATOR.AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT DEFECTS CHRISTIANITY-THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

08/22/2015 -Jubilee: Passes only required for Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica-St. Peter's Square-The organising secretariat has said no passes will be available for the other basilicas; online registration via the website is “advisable” in order to avoid queueing”; there will also be “a pedestrian path”-vatican insider staff-VATICAN INSIDER

Turin-Pilgrims wishing to cross the Holy Door during the Jubilee will only have to register online for the one at St. Peter’s Basilica. “The pilgrimage to the Holy Doors at the other Papal Basilicas of Rome (Saint John Lateran, Saint Mary Major, and Saint Paul Outside the Walls) will not be subject to registration.” The organising secretariat for the Jubilee published this information a couple of days ago.As far as pilgrims with disabilities and other particular medical needs are concerned, “all four of the Papal Basilicas, in addition to being equipped with a First Aid station, will be staffed by volunteers at the service of pilgrims.  Some of these volunteers will be appointed to help disabled persons,” the secretariat added.“To assist the Italian health authorities, it is useful to indicate particular medical needs (dialysis, oxygen, etc.) when you register,” the secretariat advised. The secretariat also “strongly recommend[s]” that pilgrims register to visit the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica partly in order to avoid queueing. “To permit pilgrims to carry out a brief pilgrimage to the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica, there will be a walking path reserved for them.”The pedestrian path “will begin at Castel Sant'Angelo and finish at the Holy Door, passing through Via Della Conciliazione, Piazza Pio XII and Saint Peter's Square.” “Pilgrims register their arrival in Rome and the possible times at which they wish to make their pilgrimage. “The passage through the Holy Door can accommodate a limited number of pilgrims.  To avoid unnecessary delays and to ensure that the pilgrimage remains prayerful, it is important, especially for organized groups, to contact the Organizational Secretariat in advance. This can be done through the official Jubilee web site (www.im.va), on the page "Registration for Pilgrims," which will be activated in October.”“Once pilgrims are registered on the website, in addition to being able to sign up for the major events, they will be able to choose the date and approximate time of their pilgrimage to the Holy Door of Saint Peter's. The Organizational Secretariat will confirm the request for the pilgrimage and indicate the best time to arrive at the beginning of the protected pathway.  This system will reduce delays to the minimum, and help to guarantee an atmosphere of prayer and welcome during the pilgrimage on foot to the Holy Door. Groups or single pilgrims may register for the pilgrimage.  It is recommended that even small informal groups or families complete a single registration, in order to be certain that they can make the pilgrimage together at the same time.”“For additional information, or for pilgrims who may not have registered ahead of time on the web site, we invite you to visit the Welcome Centre for Pilgrims at Via Della Conciliazione, 7, which will be open as soon as possible. Volunteers there will help you to arrange your pilgrimage at the best possible time.”

08/22/2015 -VATICAN INSIDER-Pope joins faithful at altar of St. Pius X-Yesterday morning Francis kneeled down to pray before the tomb of his Venetian predecessor, remembered for his catechism and his promotion of communion for children. “I am a devotee of St. Pius X”, Francis recalled. The Pope previously had the nativity scene in St. Peter’s Basilica moved so that it would not conceal the tomb of the saint-ANDREA TORNIELLI

vatican city-“I am a devotee of St. Pius X…” This is how Francis explained his presence among the faithful in the chapel dedicated to St. Pius X to Mgr. Lucio Bonora. The chapel, located in St. Peter’s Basilica, houses the relics of the late Venetian Pope. Lucio Bonora is a prelate from Treviso in northern Italy who works in the Secretariat of State and is a scholar of St. Pius X. On Friday 21 August, the day the Church commemorates St. Pius X, Francis celebrated a private early morning mass and entered the Basilica to pray at the tomb of his predecessor. At 7, while he was kneeling down at the altar, Fr. Bonora began his own mass celebration. When he entered the chapel, he saw about 50 or so faithful and lo and behold, the Pope was there too. According to the website of Treviso’s diocesan weekly La Vita del Popolo, Francis decided to stay for the mass celebration. He rose from the pew to exchange the embrace of peace and got in line to receive communion, followed by a moment of worship when Francis gave thanks kneeling. “At the end, the celebrant invited those who had rushed over in great numbers, to entrust all the needs of their families and the Church, particularly his (St. Pius X’s) successor, Pope Francis, to St. Pius X,” La Vita del Popolo writes. After mass, Francis confided to Mgr. Bonora that he had prayed for catechists in particular. In Argentina, St. Pius X, the “catechism Pope”, is the patron saint of catechists. As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, on the feast day of St. Pius X, the now Pope would meet catechists from the diocese. “I came to say a private prayer,” Francis told Bonora, “because I celebrated mass early, but then I saw you coming to the altar to celebrate and I decided to stay… I told you I’m a devotee of St. Pius X.”The Pope’s devotion for the saint is also evident from one other fact: ever since the first Christmas after his election in December 2013, Francis gave instructions for the nativity scene inside St. Peter’s Basilica to cease being prepared in the chapel of St. Pius X. This tradition prevented faithful from worshiping at the saint’s tomb for months, in other words the time it took to prepare and set up the nativity scene to be displayed. The tomb of the saint would therefore be concealed by the structure during this time. The nativity scene has now been moved a bit further away, to the Baptistry Chapel so the altar of St. Pius X is accessible at all times.A man of the people, Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, abstained from formalisms and after being appointed Canon of the Cathedral at Treviso, he never wore the vestment trimmed in red, a privilege of monsignors. His former parishioners said of him: “El xe vegnuo con la veste sbrisa – el xe partio senza la camisa” (“he arrived with a patched up vestment and left without a shirt”). He was named Bishop of Mantua and later Patriarch of Venice and would always repeat: “I am nothing but a poor cardinal from the countryside”. He was very generous with the poor. He sent his gold watch to the pawnbroker and desisted from purchasing the cappa magna, an ecclesiastical vestment with a long train, worn by cardinals. He preferred instead, to adjust the old and worn one used by his predecessor, patching it up with the help of some nuns. He even managed to pawn his episcopal ring in order to get coins, which he could give to the needy.He was elected Pope in 1903, after a controversial conclave. Two months after his election he began teaching the catechism, even as Pope, gathering Roman faithful on Sunday afternoons in the Courtyard of the “Pigna”. It was this pastoral sensitivity that made him averse to long sermons. He once jokingly said that any homily that went on for longer than ten minutes was a deadly sin. He wanted to break with the tradition of applause addressed to the Pope as he was carried in procession on the gestatorial chair down the central nave of St. Peter’s Basilica: “It is not fitting that the servant should be applauded in his Master's house,” he said.Pius X wrote: “When mistakes are reprimanded too severely and when vices are condemned too rashly, often more harm comes from this than good.” Just after his election, he returned the precious pectoral cross and decided to keep the one he had been wearing before. In the first few months of his pontificate he began a deep reform of the Roman Curia. He had looked into how to considerably reduce the number of dioceses in Italy, he introduced a more sober way of doing things and wanted priests to be shepherds of souls, paying particular attention to the poor. He presented the Eucharist not as a prize for those who are already perfect but as a daily support for people to get closer to God. He also decided it should be administered to children. He scaled down the role of the Secretary of State and was keen to keep bishops and priests away from politics.

North, South Korea reach agreement to ease tensions-Reuters By James Pearson and Ju-min Park-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

SEOUL (Reuters) - North and South Korea reached agreement early on Tuesday to end a standoff involving an exchange of artillery fire that had pushed the divided peninsula into a state of heightened military tension.Under the accord reached after midnight on Tuesday morning after more than two days of talks, North Korea expressed regret over the recent wounding of South Korean soldiers in a landmine incident and Seoul agreed to halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts, both sides said.North Korea also agreed to end the "semi" state of war it had declared. The two sides will hold follow-up talks to discuss a range of issues on improving ties, the joint statement said."It is very meaningful that from this meeting North Korea apologized for the landmine provocation and promised to work to prevent the recurrence of such events and ease tensions," Kim Kwan-jin, national security adviser to South Korean President Park Geun-hye, told a televised news briefing.Pyongyang has previously denied laying the landmines, and in the statement did not explicitly take responsibility for them.The marathon talks at the Panmunjom truce village inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas began on Saturday, shortly after Pyongyang's deadline for the South to halt its propaganda broadcasts or face military action."They both made compromises. South Korea did not get an apology, they got a statement of regret about the injury, which they can spin as an apology," said John Delury of Yonsei University in Seoul."The more important point is maintaining this channel and reopening the relationship. This is hardly going to be easy to implement, but it’s a landmark agreement which lays out a path."Seoul and Pyongyang have remained technically in a state of war since the 1950-53 Korean war ended in a truce, rather than a peace treaty, and hopes for improved relations have repeatedly been dashed over the years.Inter-Korean relations have been all but frozen since the 2010 sinking of a South Korean warship, which killed 46 sailors, that Seoul blames on the North. Pyongyang denies responsibility.Under Tuesday's deal, the two sides also agreed to arrange reunions of families separated by the Korean War during upcoming autumn holidays and in future.The recent escalation in tensions began early this month, when landmine explosions in the DMZ wounded two South Korean soldiers.Days later, the South began blasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda from loudspeakers along the border, reviving a tactic that both sides had halted in 2004.The standoff reached a crisis point on Thursday when the North fired four shells into the South, according to Seoul, which responded with a barrage of artillery fire.Pyongyang then made its ultimatum that Seoul halt the broadcasts by Saturday afternoon or face military action, but on that day the two sides agreed to hold talks between top level aides to the leaders of the two countries.Even as talks were ongoing, reclusive North Korea had deployed twice the usual artillery strength at the border and had around 50 submarines away from base, the South's defense ministry said. South Korea had also increased its military readiness.Washington and the United Nations welcomed the agreement."We're going to judge the North by its actions. We welcome this agreement, and are hopeful it leads to decreasing tensions on the peninsula," U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby told a regular briefing. "It was a very tense several days."North Korea has been hit with U.N. and U.S. sanctions because of repeated nuclear and missile tests, moves that Pyongyang sees as an attack on its sovereign right to defend itself.(Additional reporting by Michelle Nichols in New York and David Brunnstrom and Lesley Wroughton in Washington,; writing by Tony Munroe,; editing by Jack Kim, Larry King)

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Two people may have committed suicide after Ashley Madison hack: police-[Reuters]-By Alastair Sharp-August 24, 2015-YAHOONEWS

TORONTO (Reuters) - At least two people may have committed suicide following the hacking of the Ashley Madison cheating website, Toronto police said on Monday, warning of a ripple effect that includes scams and extortion of clients desperate to stop the exposure of their infidelity.Avid Life Media Inc, the parent company of the website, is offering a C$500,000 ($379,132) reward to catch the hackers.In addition to the exposure of the Ashley Madison accounts of as many as 37 million users, the attack on the dating website for married people has sparked extortion attempts and at least two unconfirmed suicides, Toronto Police Acting Staff Superintendent Bryce Evans told a news conference.The data dump contained email addresses of U.S. government officials, UK civil servants, and workers at European and North American corporations, taking already deep-seated fears about Internet security and data protection to a new level."Your actions are illegal and will not be tolerated. This is your wake-up call," Evans said, addressing the so-called "Impact Team" hackers directly during the news conference."To the hacking community who engage in discussions on the dark web and who no doubt have information that could assist this investigation, we're also appealing to you to do the right thing," Evans said. "You know the Impact Team has crossed the line. Do the right thing and reach out to us."Police declined to provide any more details on the apparent suicides, saying they received unconfirmed reports on Monday morning."The social impact behind this (hacking) - we're talking about families. We're talking about their children, we're talking about their wives, we're talking about their male partners," Evans told reporters."It's going to have impacts on their lives. We're now going to have hate crimes that are a result of this. There are so many things that are happening. The reality is ... this is not the fun and games that has been portrayed."The investigation into the hacking has broadened to include international law enforcement, with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security joining last week. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Canadian federal and provincial police are also assisting.Evans also said the hacking has spawned online scams that fraudulently claim to be able to protect Ashley Madison clients' data for a fee.People are also attempting to extort Ashley Madison clients by threatening to send evidence of their membership directly to friends, family or colleagues, Evans said.In a sign of Ashley Madison's deepening woes following the breach, lawyers last week launched a class-action lawsuit seeking some $760 million in damages on behalf of Canadians whose information was leaked.Evans said Avid Life first became aware of the breach on July 12, when several employees booted up their computers and received a message from the infiltrators accompanied by the playing of rock group AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."The company went to police several days later, he said, while the hackers went public on July 20.(Reporting by Alastair Sharp and Andrea Hopkins; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)

U.S., Turkey to launch 'comprehensive' anti-Islamic State operation-Reuters By Nick Tattersall-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey and the United States will soon launch "comprehensive" air operations to flush Islamic State fighters from a zone in northern Syria bordering Turkey, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told Reuters on Monday.Detailed talks between Washington and Ankara on the plans were completed on Sunday and regional allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan as well as Britain and France may also take part, Cavusoglu said in an interview."The technical talks have been concluded, yesterday, and soon we will start this operation, comprehensive operations, against Daesh (Islamic State)," he said.The United States and Turkey plan to provide air cover for what Washington judges to be moderate Syrian rebels as part of the operations, which aim to flush Islamic State from a rectangle of border territory roughly 80 km (50 miles) long, officials familiar with the plans have said.Diplomats say cutting Islamic State's access to the Turkish border, across which it has been able to bring foreign fighters and supplies, could be a game-changer. U.S. jets have already begun air strikes from Turkish bases in advance of the campaign.Cavusoglu said the operations would also send a message to President Bashar al-Assad and help put pressure on his administration to come to the negotiating table and seek a political solution for Syria's wider war.Ankara has long argued that lasting peace in Syria can only be achieved with Assad's departure. U.S. officials, meanwhile, have made clear that the focus of the coalition operations will be squarely on pushing back Islamic State."Our aim should be eradicating Daesh from both Syria and Iraq, otherwise you cannot bring stability and security," said Cavusoglu, using another name for Islamic State. "But eliminating the root causes of the situation (in Syria) is also essential, which is the regime of course."A Pentagon spokesman said U.S. and Turkish military officials had held talks on Sunday to work out the tactical details of integrating Turkish combat aircraft into the air campaign against Islamic State."We're looking forward in the near future to welcoming Turkey into our combined air operations center," Navy Captain Jeff Davis said in Washington.Cavusoglu said Syrian Kurdish PYD militia forces, which have proved a useful ally on the ground for Washington as it launched air strikes on Islamic State elsewhere in Syria, would not have a role in the "safe zone" that the joint operations aim to create, unless they changed their policies.Ankara is concerned that the PYD and its allies aim to unite Kurdish cantons in northern Syria and fear those ambitions will stoke separatist sentiment among its own Kurds."Yes, the PYD has been fighting Daesh ... But the PYD is not fighting for the territorial integrity or political unity of Syria. This is unacceptable," Cavusoglu said."We prefer that the moderate opposition forces actually control the safe zone, or Daesh-free areas, in the northern part of Syria, not the PYD, unless they change their policies radically in that sense."Both Ankara and Washington had given this message directly to the PYD, he said.-PKK STRIKES TO CONTINUE-Turkey's relations with the PYD, whose forces control territory on the eastern fringe of the proposed safe zone, are complicated by what officials in Ankara say are the group's deep ties with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has fought an insurgency against Turkey for three decades.Cavusoglu said Turkey's military operations against PKK targets in northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey, where Ankara has been carrying out air strikes over the past month, would continue until the group laid down its weapons.The government says it launched the action against the PKK in response to an escalation in attacks on members of Turkish security forces. Cavusoglu said 61 soldiers and police officers had been killed by the group in recent months.Critics say Turkey is using what it calls its "synchronized war on terror", including its greater role in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State, as a cover to attack the PKK and try to stem Kurdish political and territorial ambitions.-Ankara denies those accusations.Diplomatic sources told Reuters last Friday that a second group of rebel fighters trained in Turkey by the U.S.-led coalition could be deployed to Syria within weeks as part of the strategy to push back the Islamic State.The al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front said late last month it had detained some of a first group of less than 60 rebels, weeks after they were deployed, and warned others to abandon the program, highlighting their vulnerability."In the second group we have around 100 (fighters)," Cavusoglu said, but made clear that the ground forces were only part of the strategy."The train and equip program (alone) will not be enough to fight Daesh, that is why we agreed with the United States to start joint operations soon," he said.Asked whether Iran's improving relations with West in the wake of its nuclear deal could help the prospects of a diplomatic solution in Syria, Cavusoglu was cautious."We are very happy to see that Iran has been normalizing its diplomatic ties with many Western countries ... Iran has better dialogue with many Western countries and that is what Turkey fully supports," he said, noting Britain's reopening on Sunday of its embassy in Tehran."But the situation in Syria, or in the region including Yemen and Iraq, is totally different to the nuclear deal. What we expect from Iran is a more constructive role in Syria and Iraq, and in Yemen," Cavusoglu said.(Additional reporting by Tulay Karadeniz in Ankara and David Alexander in Washington; Editing by Giles Elgood and Gareth Jones)

Ukraine faces risky year fighting to escape Russian orbit: Poroshenko-Reuters By Natalia Zinets-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

KIEV(Reuters) - President Petro Poroshenko said on Monday Ukraine was facing a precarious year struggling to fend off what he called Russian strategies to undermine Kiev's drive for closer relations with Europe.He spoke at a ceremony in central Kiev to mark 24 years of Ukrainian independence from Moscow, its Soviet-era ruler, and then traveled to Berlin for talks with the leaders of France and Germany on the implementation of a much-violated ceasefire deal with pro-Russian rebels holding parts of eastern Ukraine."We have to get through the (coming) 25th year of independence as if on brittle ice. We must understand that the smallest misstep could be fatal. The war for Ukrainian independence is continuing," he said, addressing a crowd of several thousand.At a news conference later in Berlin with Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, Poroshenko expressed his appreciation for their backing. "I'm extraordinarily thankful for the support and the efforts for de-escalation."Merkel lamented that the ceasefire agreement was not being respected and said everything must be done to fully implement the broader peace deal reached in Minsk in February.Earlier in Kiev, Poroshenko had said 50,000 Russian troops were massed along the Ukraine-Russia border and a further 9,000 were supporting pro-Russian rebels in separatist territories. New military convoys had been tracked crossing the border into Ukraine last week, he added.While the threat of "full-scale military invasion" remains, Russia "also has an alternative strategy - to undermine the situation in the middle of our country and to put the country at loggerheads with key (foreign) partners, isolating it with the aggressor," he said."GENETIC CODE"-Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov branded Poroshenko's comments as "unfounded and disgraceful", adding: "Their goal is to break the 'genetic code' ensuring the unity of our nations. I think he won't succeed in that."Russia, which annexed Ukraine's Crimea peninsula last year after an uprising toppled a pro-Russian president in Kiev, has dismissed accusations by NATO and other powers that it has sent arms and troops to back separatists in the east.Both sides have withdrawn large numbers of heavy weapons from the conflict zone in line with February's Minsk peace agreement, but clashes still take a steady toll of lives daily.Lavrov reiterated that Russia wanted Germany and France to put pressure on Poroshenko to stick to Ukraine's commitments under the Minsk agreement and to grant the rebel regions greater autonomy. Russia says changes to the Ukrainian constitution to that end fall short of what had been agreed.More than 6,500 people have been killed since fighting erupted in April 2014.(Additional reporting by Andreas Rinke in Belrin, Richard Balmforth in Kiev and Gabriela Baczynska in Moscow, Writing by Alessandra Prentice, Editing by Gareth Jones)

Turkey's Erdogan calls snap polls-AFP By Fulya Ozerkan, Stuart Williams in Istanbul-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

Ankara (AFP) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday called snap elections in an unprecedented move to break weeks of political stalemate after June's inconclusive legislative polls.A presidential statement released after a meeting between Erdogan and parliament speaker Ismet Yilmaz gave no date for the elections but the president had previously said he expected the polls to be held on November 1.The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), co-founded by Erdogan, lost its overall majority in the 550-seat parliament in the June 7 polls for the first time since it came to power in 2002, forcing the party to seek a coalition partner.But the AKP's coalition talks with opposition parties failed to produce a government, an outcome critics say the combative Erdogan sought all along."In line with the constitution, Mr President has decided that the Turkish parliament will undergo renewed elections," the presidency said in a statement.It said Erdogan was exercising his rightful powers to call the polls after no coalition was formed within a 45-day deadline.Erdogan is to meet Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Tuesday to discuss arrangements for an interim caretaker government to rule Turkey up to the polls, the official Anatolia news agency said.This is the first time in the history of modern Turkey that parties have failed to form a coalition after elections and repeat polls have been called.Erdogan wants the AKP to win back an overall majority and govern alone.He is also seeking to fulfil his dream of a revamped presidency with boosted executive powers, which will require a majority of at least three fifths.The president indicated in recent weeks that he was not in favour of coalition governments, but dismissed criticism that he had impeded the coalition negotiations.Under Turkey's constitution, Erdogan was obliged to give the second-placed Republican People's Party (CHP) a mandate to lead coalition talks.But he refused to do so because the CHP's leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu refuses to set foot in Erdogan's controversial new presidential palace.The opposition has accused Erdogan of violating the constitution, with Kilicdaroglu blasting the president for seeking to stage a "civilian coup".- 'Dead in the water'-The opposition CHP and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have refused to take part in a short-term election government.This forces Davutoglu to hold talks with the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) -- which he has accused of being a front for Kurdish militants from the outlawed PKK -- as well as independent figures to form an interim government.It remains to be seen if November's polls will see the AKP increase its share of vote and win back an outright majority, with many analysts sceptical that the results will be much changed from June 7.Marc Pierini, visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe, said the AKP has a chance of winning back its simple majority but would be unable to win the three-fifths of seats needed to call a referendum to change the constitution and give Erdogan the broader powers he craves."With 258 seats, the AKP was 18 seats short of a single-party government. On November 1, they may -- may -- recoup that loss and be back in power alone," he said."But 258 was very, very far from the 330 seats qualified (three-fifths) majority, so the executive presidency reform is dead in the water," he said.The elections will come at a time of a dual offensive against Kurdish militants and Islamic State jihadists in Iraq and Syria, with some critics blaming Erdogan for operating a "war machine" to seek political gains for his AKP.A spike in violence between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants has nullified a 2013 ceasefire with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is designated as a terrorist organisation by Turkey and much of the international community.At least 814 Kurdish militants have been killed in Turkey and in neighbouring Iraq while at least 60 members of the Turkish security forces have lost their lives in over one month of fighting, Anatolia reported.Two Turkish soldiers and a policeman were killed in new attacks blamed on PKK militants in the country's restive southeast, officials and the army said Monday.

U.S. to deploy F-22 fighter jets to Europe-Reuters By Andrea Shalal-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will deploy F-22 fighter jets to Europe very soon as part of a broader effort to support eastern European members of the NATO alliance unnerved by Russia's intervention in Ukraine, Air Force Secretary Deborah James said on Monday.James did not give details about the specific number of planes, date or location of the deployment, but said it was in line with Defense Secretary Ash Carter's recent call for a strong and balanced approach to Russia.The first deployment of the Lockheed Martin Corp F-22 to Europe outside air shows is seen as a move to address growing concerns among NATO allies about Russian military aggression. The Air Force has also been using radar-evading F-22 fighter jets to carry out some its attacks against Islamic State, the first real combat air strikes by the jets."Russia's military activity in the Ukraine continues to be of great concern to us and to our European allies," James told a news conference at the Pentagon. "For the Air Force, an F-22 deployment is certainly on the strong side of the coin."Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh James said the F-22's inaugural training deployment in Europe would allow U.S. forces to train with NATO partners across Europe, testing the ability of the jets to communicate and fight together with the Eurofighter, and other advanced warplanes.James said the deployment would give F-22 pilots more experience with the European terrain. The Air Force has previously deployed the jets in Japan and South Korea.Welsh said it would also allow the jets to fly into and out of facilities that could be used in some future conflict.The single-seat, twin-engine, all weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft was designed by Lockheed and Boeing Co as an air superiority fighter, but it can also be used for ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence.The jets formally entered service in December 2005, with the last F-22 delivered to the Air Force in 2012.(Additional reporting by Bill Trott; Editing by Sandra Maler, Bernard Orr)

Record wildfire in Washington gets international, local help-Associated Press By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS and BRIAN MELLEY-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — As Washington state's wildfires burned into the record books Monday, calls for help were answered from far and near.Fire managers from New Zealand and Australia arrived to contribute to a ground campaign led by firefighters from across the West and augmented by U.S. soldiers.The flames that claimed the lives of three firefighters, injured four others and burned 200 homes also inspired an outpouring of volunteers who have been invited for the first time in state history to help battle the blazes.This summer's fire response across the West has been overwhelmed by destructive blazes tearing through the tinder-dry region.The biggest fire burning Monday was in Okanogan County on the Canadian border, where a group of five fires raging out of control became the largest in state history, scorching more than 400 square miles, fire spokesman Rick Isaacson said.Lightning-sparked fires broke the state record, surpassing blazes that destroyed more than 300 homes in the same county last year."I'd like to set some different records," Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said.The U.S. is in the midst of one of its worst fire seasons on record with some 11,600 square miles scorched so far. It's only the sixth-worst going back to 1960, but it's the most acreage burned by this date in a decade, so the ranking is sure to rise."It's only Aug. 24th," Isaacson said. "In our district we could see this go clear to the first of November."Thirteen firefighters have died nationwide this year, including the three in Washington state who were killed when they tried to escape the fire in a vehicle, crashed and were overrun by flames.So many fires are burning in the state that managers are taking extreme measures, summoning help from Down Under and 200 U.S. troops from a base in Tacoma in the first such use of active-duty soldiers in nine years.Jim Whittington, a Bureau of Land Management spokesman in Portland, Oregon, said military assets cannot be used against wildfires until all civilian resources are deployed.Since 1987, active duty military personnel have been mobilized to serve as wildland firefighters a total of 35 times. The last time was in 2006.Since then, it has not been necessary to ask for military assistance until this fire season, Forest Service officials said.Nearly 4,000 volunteers also answered the state's call for help, far more than will be accepted, said state Department of Natural Resources spokesman Joe Smillie.The state is looking for former firefighters or heavy equipment operators who can bulldoze fire lines to corral the blazes and keep them from spreading in mountainous, timber-covered areas. So far, about 200 people with the right experience have been cleared to work.The 70 firefighters from Australia and New Zealand who arrived at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, were being outfitted to fill a critical shortage of mid-level fire managers such as equipment bosses, strike team leaders and supervisors.The Southern Hemisphere nations have been partners with the U.S. for more than 50 years, able to lend out firefighters because the severest part of their fire seasons occur at opposite times of the year. The last time the U.S. asked for their help was 2008, with 50 firefighters arriving. The U.S. sent firefighters abroad in 2007.Chris Arnol, international liaison for Australia and New Zealand firefighters, said at a news conference in Boise the firefighters will be ready for the mountainous terrain in the Pacific Northwest.Warren Heslip, a 47-year-old firefighter from Southland, New Zealand, said the new arrivals were ready for the conditions."We're used to tall timber and steep territory," he said.Costs for the international firefighters will be paid by the agency they're assigned to, officials said, though no estimate was yet available.In Southern California, crews used snow-making cannons to blow water, and planes dropped fire retardant on a 100-acre wildfire burning near the popular Snow Summit ski resort in Big Bear Lake. They were able to build a perimeter halfway around the blaze, but hundreds of homes remained threatened in the mountainous area about 100 miles east of Los Angeles.In Montana, firefighters traveled by rail to the edge of a thick forest to build fuel breaks to slow or stop a wildfire creeping toward a major rail line and U.S. Highway 2 on Glacier National Park's southern boundary.Firefighters had been limited to attacking the blaze by air because the steep, dense terrain left few escape options for ground crews if the fire that has burned about a square mile suddenly shifted.___Melley reported from Los Angeles.

Dow falls more than 1,000 points on opening after stocks tumble worldwide-new york stock exchange-By James F. Peltz contact the reporter-LOSANGELES TIMES-AUG 24,15

The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 1,000 points at the opening Monday as the U.S. stock market extended a rout that followed severe market declines in China and elsewhere in Asia and Europe amid growing worry about China’s economy.The blue-chip industrials edged somewhat higher after the opening bell but were still off 650 points, or nearly 4%, at 15,840. The average has now skidded more than 2,400 points, or more than 15%, from its record high 18,312.39 set on May 19.The Dow Jones industrials’ worst point drop for a full day was 777.68 points on Sept. 29, 2008, which amounted to a 6.98% drop. The average’s worst percentage decline for a full session was 22.6% on Oct. 19, 1987.Other key U.S. indexes also plunged Monday into so-called “correction” territory – a decline of 10% or more – over the three days.The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down about 160 points, or more than 3% in early trading, at about 1,910.The Nasdaq composite index skidded 261.88 points, or 5.6%, in early trading, to about 4,550.Among the market’s leading stocks, Apple Inc. fell 5.6% to $99.88 a share, General Electric Co. was down 4.9% at $23.39 and Netflix Inc. plummeted 10.8% to $93.15 a share.Traders looking for a safer haven bid up Treasury bond prices, sending their yields sharply lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell below 2% for the first time since April, to 1.96%.U.S. and foreign stocks again followed a massive selloff in China amid growing fears about China's slowing economy and the ripple effect it could have on corporations worldwide that do business with China.China's benchmark indicator, the Shanghai composite index, tumbled 8.5% on Monday, while the Nikkei index in Japan skidded 4.6%, as did the Stoxx Europe 50 index in Europe. Major indices also fell in Germany and Taiwan.Twitter: @peltzlatimes

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

LUKE 2:1-3
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

REVELATION 13:16-18

Dow Jones industrial average finishes down 585 points after day of massive swings-Associated Press-aug 24,15-yahoonews
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dow Jones industrial average finishes down 585 points after day of massive swings.

STOCKS GET CLOBBERED IN A CHAOTIC DAY ON WALL STREET: Here's what you need to know-Business Insider By Myles Udland-aug 24,15-yahoonews

New York Stock Exchange, October 1929-It was an ugly start to the week on Wall Street. After stocks had their worst week in 4 years, markets started this week deep in the red in a chaotic day that saw the major US indexes all fall more than 3%.The Dow lost more than 500 points for the second straight day, while the S&P 500 officially tipped into "correction" territory, defined as a 10% decline from recent highs. On a points basis, Monday was the 8th-largest decline in the Dow's history. Crude oil also crashed to a new post-financial low with West Texas Intermediate crude oil falling more than 6% to break $38 a barrel.

First, the scoreboard: Dow: 15,875.16, -584, (-3.5%)-S&P 500: 1,893.63,  -77.26, (-3.9%)-Nasdaq: 4,527.13, -178.91, (-3.8%)

And now, the top stories on Monday:It was a chaotic day in markets. Overnight, stocks in China fell more than 8%, while stocks in Europe got crushed on Monday and commodities broke to new lows. Amid this chaos, US stocks opened sharply lower, with the Dow losing more than 1,000 points shortly after the market open while the S&P 500 lost about 5% early. Stocks quickly ripped higher off these levels but gave up gains into the close, with the Dow having one of its worst one-day declines ever. In an afternoon email, Peter Tchir at Brean Capital wrote that the action at the market open looked more like a massive dislocation than capitulation, adding that, "I am nervous that in the time it took me to type this the Dow could be plus or minus 200 points since I started." It was that kind of day.Rich Barry, a floor governor at the New York Stock Exchange, however, saw Monday's market action as a capitulation, which he defined as when, "investors give up any previous gains in stock price by selling equities in an effort to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines. It usually is indicated by panic selling."Amid the market chaos, one of the biggest calls to come out of Wall Street on Monday was from economists at Barclays, who pushed back their rate hike call for the Federal Reserve from September 2015 to March 2016. In a note to clients, Barclays economists Michael Gapen and Rob Martin wrote: "Although we continue to see economic activity in the US as solid and justifying modest rate hikes, we believe the Federal Reserve is unlikely to begin a hiking cycle in this environment for fear that such a move may further destabilize markets. Instead, we believe the FOMC will delay the start of the rate hike cycle beyond September as a means to offset tighter financial conditions while it evaluates the effect of recent volatility." That was quick. Crude oil, which has fallen about 60% from a year ago, crashed to a stunning new post-financial crisis low. West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell more than 6% to below $38 a barrel while Brent crude, the international benchmark, declined nearly 7% to as low as $42.35 a barrel. In addition to crude oil, the entire commodity complex got destroyed on Monday and now some strategists are looking at the potential for the diverging correlation between commodity and stock prices to converge — which could be bad news for stocks. In a note to clients, Kit Juckes at Societe Generale wrote, "The divergence between global commodity prices and equities is not a new theme but the danger now is that they begin to re-correlate — as they did when the dotcom bubble burst in 2000 and what had previously been an emerging market crisis became a US recession."Market volatility is also something for Wall Street's investment banks to worry about now, too. As Business Insider's Jonathan Marino reported, Wall Street investment banks are likely to see a big decline in deal volume into the end of the year, with one banker telling Business Insider, "The last 10 days certainly could put a chill into big deals for the balance of the year."Apple, the market's biggest company, was in the news on Monday after Apple CEO Tim Cook sent CNBC's Jim Cramer an email quelling fears about Apple's sales in China. "I get updates on our performance in China every day, including this morning" Cook wrote, "and I can tell you that we have continued to experience strong growth for our business in China through July and August." Apple shares fell about 6% to below $100 a share early in the day before shooting higher and rolling over late in the afternoon to close down 2%.

Some Oil Companies a Few Weeks Away From Bankruptcy, Analyst Says-By Rhonda Schaffler| 08/24/15 - 03:42 PM EDT-the street

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The recent steep drop in oil prices may lead to some oil company going out of business within a few weeks, according to Amrita Sen, Senior Oil Analyst at Energy Aspects.Low oil prices could reduce companies' borrowing lines of credit from banks, which come up for renewal on October 1, Sen explained."The banks will look back at the last twelve months of WTI prices, which on average has been about $45 a barrel if not lower," said Sen. "And suddenly the amount of money available to these U.S. producers to borrow is half, less than half in some cases, compared to a year ago. That makes it very, very difficult for them to continue investing, continue drilling."STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks with serious upside potential in the next 12-months. Learn more.If prices stay at current levels or drop further, Sen said she expects some companies will be forced to file for bankruptcy as early as October.Must Read: Warren Buffet's Top 10 Stock Buys-Linn Energy (LINE - Get Report) and Energy XXI  (EXXI - Get Report) have already exhausted more than 75% of the credit available to them, and they are in a "more tricky position" than some of the bigger companies, Sen said, and pointed to them as possible bankruptcy candidates.In research published Monday, Sen wrote there are several companies likely to see their borrowing bases reduced by over 50%.She added that Midstates Petroleum (MPO - Get Report), Resolute Energy (REN - Get Report), W&T Offshore (WTI - Get Report), Breitburn Energy (BBEP - Get Report), Energy XXI and Comstock Petroleum have seen their borrowing facilities reduced the most.A reduction in credit will force further capital expenditure cuts among energy companies, said Sen.What's driving Monday's crude selloff, according to Sen, are fears of weakening demand from China, along with continued oversupply.But she added the supply/demand situation will improve, adding that Energy Aspects has identified at least 5-million barrels a day of projects that have been delayed or cancelled. By the end of next year, Sen predicts, supplies will tighten, and prices could easily more than double from where they are today.


Mon, Aug 24, 2015, 11:55 AM EDT - U.S. Markets close in 4 hrs 5 mins-Europe stocks end 5% lower in massive slump-CNBC By Arjun Kharpal

European markets closed sharply lower on Monday, despite paring some losses, as the steep selloff in stock markets around the world continued.The pan-European Stoxx 600 (^STOXX) index pared some losses finishing down 5.3 percent, having sank a massive 6.7 percent around the U.S. open.London's FTSE 100 (FTSE International: .FTSE) index ended down 4.4 percent, the German DAX (^GDAXI) was off by around 4.7 percent, while the French CAC (Euronext Paris: .FCHI) slipped over 5.5 percent, recovering from an earlier 7 percent drop in trade.The worst hit among major European bourses was Greece, which closed down around 10.5 percent.It comes as Friday's losses on Wall Street stretched into Asian trading Monday morning, with China's Shanghai Composite (Shanghai Stock Exchange: .SSEC) index ending the day down 8.5 percent as panic about the country's economic issues spread.U.S. stocks plummeted on Monday , following a renewed rout in global markets, under severe pressure from continued fears of slowing growth in China spilling over internationally.The Dow Jones industrial average traded about 300 to 500 points lower after falling as much as 1,089 points in the open.Last week, the benchmark Dow Jones Composite Average (Dow Jones Global Indexes: .DJA) index lost around $338 billion in market value - which is roughly equivalent to the size of ExxonMobil (XOM), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A), or Microsoft (MSFT).Having plummeted 6.4 percent in earlier trade, Europe's pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 lost more than 500 billion euros ($582.5 billion) in value from the index's total market capitalization, according to Reuters.For the month of August, there has been more stock market volatility than any month in 25 years.With the exception of a handful, companies on the Stoxx 600 were trading in negative territory.The Stoxx 600 basic resource and oil and gas sectors were hammered after the oil price sank to fresh six-and-half year lows on concerns over global growth and as investors continued to worry about the health of the Chinese economy.Glencore (London Stock Exchange: GLEN-GB) plunged over 10 percent, while Seadrill (Oslo Stock Exchange: SDRL-NO) and Tullow Oil (London Stock Exchange: TLW-GB) were around 8.8 and 9.8 percent lower, respectively.Fiat Chrysler (Milan Stock Exchange: FCA-IT) and Renault (Euronext Paris: RNO-FR) were two of the hardest-hit autos stocks on Monday, as both traded deep in negative territory.Europe's technology sector was also hit, but pared losses. German-listed Dialog Semicon (XETRA:DLG-DE) was down over 3 percent while Nokia (Helsinki Stock Exchange: NOKIA-FI) and Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris: ALU-FR) were around 5.5 percent lower.Spain's Abengoa (Mercado Continuo: ABG-ES) was the one of six stocks in the green, up over 4.5 percent, after it won a contract worth $93 million to build a new port terminal in Uruguay.


VIX 'fear index' skyrockets to highest level in nearly 7 years-Published: Aug 24, 2015 11:48 a.m. ET-By Wallace Witkowski-Reporter-market watch

The CBOE Volatility Index VIX, +35.21% jumped to its highest level in more than six-and-a-half years Monday following a broad early morning stock selloff. The VIX, or so-called "fear index," hit an intraday high of 53.29 at the beginning of the trading day, its highest reading since January 21, 2009, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.06% plummeted more than 1,000 points, and the S&P 500 Index SPX, -2.23% dropped more than 100 points. At last check, the VIX was up 35% at 37.13, as stock losses pared about halfway. Last week, the VIX saw its largest weekly surge in the history of the index, as it soared more than 46% on Friday.If you snooze you lose. Today was the buying opportunity we've all been waiting for. I was looking for VIX-30 this week and saw VIX-50 instead. Today's sell-off is way, way, way overdone. We should see subsequent consolidation all week long with a recovery to follow.

The 6 stocks absolutely crashing the Dow-Matt Krantz, USA TODAY 10:15 a.m. EDT August 24, 2015-USATODAY

No doubt about it: The entire Dow is crashing. But there's no question that much of the extreme pain is concentrated in some hard-hit stocks.There are six stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average, including drugmaker Merck (MRK), bank JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and technology giant Apple (AAPL) which are all down 10% or more today. And what really hurt is that three of these stocks were worth more than $100 a share last week - which puts even more pressure on the Dow since this market measure gives more weight to the stocks with the highest per-share values.

DOW STOCKS DOWN THE MOST ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS MONDAY
Company    Symbol    % ch. Monday
Merck    MRK    -16.4%
UnitedHealth    UNH    -14.8%
Home Depot    HD    -14.1%
JPMorgan Chase    JPM    -13.9%
Verizon    VZ    -13.7%
Apple    AAPL    -10.3%
Sources: S&P Capital IQ, USA TODAY research

Drugmaker Merck is the worst-off of any stock in the Dow on a percentage basis. The stock is down a crushing 16.4% - just today. This massive one-day selloff puts this blue-chip medical down down 22% since the market peaked on May 21.But serving up a shock investors weren't expecting is the crash in JP Morgan shares. Investors thought banks could be big winners from the Federal Reserve's expected hike in short-term interest rates. But Monday, shares of the giant bank are off 14% - losing nearly 18% of their value since the May 21 peak.Given that the Dow gives greater weight to stocks with the highest per-share prices - it's useful to see which individual high-priced stocks are inflicting the most damage. Here the number one contributor of pain is health insurer UnitedHealth - where the shares are down $17.19 a share - just today - in the biggest point loss in the Dow. Shares are off 14.8% to $99.09.But the highest-priced Dow stock of them all, Goldman Sach, is also inflicting big-time pain. The stock is down $11.08 a share - or 6% - $176.66 Monday. That's a major blow given the stock's per-share price.

Stock futures fall sharply as Chinese stocks plunge-Reuters-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell sharply on Monday as Chinese stocks plunged more than 8 percent after Beijing did not come through with further support in response to the market's rout last week.S&P 500 e-minis (ESc1) were down 46 points, or 2.33 percent, with 752,999 contracts traded by 6:24 a.m. ET.Nasdaq 100 e-minis (NQc1) were down 160.5 points, or 3.82 percent, on volume of 106,028 contracts, while Dow e-minis (1YMc1) were down 414 points, or 2.51 percent, with 95,546 contracts exchanged.(Reporting by Tanya Agrawal; Editing by Ted Kerr)

Mon, Aug 24, 2015, 6:45 AM EDT - U.S. Markets open in 2 hrs 45 mins-Great fall of China sinks world stocks, dollar tumbles-Reuters-AUG 24,15-YAHOONEWS

LONDON (Reuters) - Alarm bells rang across world markets on Monday as a 9 percent dive in Chinese shares and a sharp drop in the dollar and major commodities panicked investors.European stocks opened more than 3 percent in the red after their Asian counterparts slumped to 3-year lows as a three month-long rout in Chinese equities threatened to get out of hand.Safe-haven government bonds and the yen and the euro rallied as widespread fears of a China-led global economic slowdown and currency war kicked in."It is a China driven macro panic," said Didier Duret, chief investment officer at ABN Amro. "Volatility will persist until we see better data there or strong policy action through forceful monetary easing."With serious doubts now emerging about the likelihood of a U.S. interest rate rise this year, the dollar slid against other major currencies. It was last at 120.25 yen its lowest in three months.The Australian dollar fell to six-year lows and many emerging market currencies also plunged, whilst the frantic dash to safety pushed the euro to a 6-1/2-month high."Things are starting look like the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. Speculators are selling assets that seem the most vulnerable," said Takako Masai, head of research at Shinsei Bank in Tokyo.Commodity markets took a fresh battering. Brent and U.S. crude oil futures hit 6-1/2-year lows as concerns about a global supply glut added to worries over potentially weaker demand from China.U.S. crude was down 3 percent at $39.20 a barrel while Brent lost 2.4 percent to $44.40 a barrel.Copper, seen as a barometer of global industrial demand, tumbled 2.5 percent, with three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange hitting a six-year low of $4,920 a tonne. Nickel slid 4.6 percent to its lowest since 2009 at $9,730 a tonne.GREAT FALL OF CHINA-The near 9 percent slump in Chinese stocks was their worst performance since the depths of the global financial crisis in 2009 and wiped out what was left of the 2015 gains, which in June has been more than 50 percent.The latest rout was rooted in investor disappointment that Beijing did not announce expected policy support over the weekend after its markets shed 11 percent last week.Compounding the real-time falls all index futures contracts slumped by their 10 percent daily limit, pointing to more bad days ahead.MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 5.1 percent to a three-year low. Tokyo's Nikkei was down 4.1 percent and Australian and Indonesian shares hit two-year troughs."China could be forced to devalue the yuan even more, should its economy falter, and the equity markets are dealing with the prospect of a weaker yuan amplifying the negative impact from a sluggish Chinese economy," said Eiji Kinouchi, chief technical analyst at Daiwa Securities in Tokyo.There was further evidence that developed markets were becoming synchronised with the troubles. London's FTSE which has a large number of global miners and oil firms, was down for its 10th straight day, its worst run since 2003.The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300, meanwhile, was down 3.1 percent by 0830 GMT at 1,382.15 points, wiping around 260 billion euros ($298.61 billion) off the index and taking its losses for the month to more that 1 trillion euros.U.S. stock futures also pointed to larger losses for Wall Street's main markets, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial and Nasdaq expected to open down 1.8, 2.2 and 3.1 percent respectively."We are in the midst of a full-blown growth scare," strategists at JP Morgan Cazenove said in a note.($1 = 0.8707 euros)(Additional reporting by Pete Sweeney in Beijing and Shinichi Saoshiro Hideyuki Sano in Tokyo; editing by John Stonestreet and Anna Willard)

Stock Rout Spreads Through Europe After China Plunge-Nick Gentle Stephen Kirkland-Updated on August 24, 2015 — 6:27 AM EDT-BLOOMBERG

Is This the Start of a Global Economic Slowdown?

A wave of selling gripped global markets as the rout in all but the safest assets deepened.Chinese shares tumbled by the most since 2007, stocks in Germany headed for a bear market and commodities fell to a 16-year low. Russia’s ruble led a selloff in emerging-market currencies, while the yen strengthened and 10-year Treasury yields slid below 2 percent for the first time since April. Futures signaled U.S. equities will retreat for a fifth day.“Everyone seems to be selling off, and there’s panic,” said Michael Woischneck who helps oversee the equivalent of $7.1 billion at Lampe Asset Management GmbH in Dusseldorf, Germany. “There’s no rational choice anymore, no rational reaction. The Americans will add to the European selling.”More than $5 trillion has been erased from the value of global equities since China unexpectedly devalued the yuan on Aug. 11, fueling concern that the slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy is worse than anticipated. The rout is shaking confidence that the global economy will be strong enough to withstand higher U.S. interest rates, even as bets ease on a September increase.Developing economies bore the brunt of the selloff, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index sliding 4.6 percent at 6:24 a.m in New York, headed for the biggest one-day drop since September 2011. Basic-resource producers led losses as Brent crude tumbled through $45 a barrel. Treasury 10-year note yields fell as low as 1.97 percent.“We’re definitely getting a lot of calls from clients,” Michele Santangelo, a money manager at Vunani Private Clients, said by phone from Johannesburg. “You’re seeing a lot of capitulation, people selling for the sake of selling and wanting to get out of the market.”Shares in all but one company fell in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, driving the gauge down 3.3 percent. Germany’s DAX Index retreated 2.9 percent, taking the decline from its peak in April to more than 20 percent.Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures dropped 2.4 percent. Investors are selling their most-loved stocks, with Apple Inc. and Netflix Inc. losing more than 4 percent in early New York trading.The selloff will worsen, according to Doug Ramsey, the chief investment officer of Leuthold Weeden Capital Management LLC, whose quantitative research into market breadth, valuation and investor sentiment foreshadowed the drubbing in American stocks last week.In Asia, the Shanghai Composite Index slid 8.5 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 5.8 percent, tumbling further into a bear market. The measure is about 25 percent below an April high, with a gauge of price momentum dropping to the lowest since the October 1987 stock-market crash.“This is a real disaster and it seems nothing can stop it,” said Chen Gang, Shanghai-based chief investment officer at Heqitongyi Asset Management Co.Greater China equities plummeted, with Taiwan’s benchmark gauge dropping as much as 7.5 percent. More than $4 trillion was wiped from the value of Chinese equities from June 12 through Friday.Commodities Slide-The Bloomberg Commodity Index fell 2.1 percent, heading for the lowest closing level since August 1999.Brent and West Texas Intermediate crudes both traded at six-year lows of $44.36 and $39.36 a barrel, respectively. Gold, a haven for investors during volatile trading, slipped 0.2 percent to $1,58.34, the smallest decline among 10 precious and industrial metals in London.Currencies of basic resource-producing countries led declines, with the ruble tumbling 2.9 percent to 71.15 per dollar and Malaysia’s ringgit sliding 1.8 percent to a fresh 17- year low. South Africa’s rand dropped 1.7 percent and New Zealand’s currency weakened 1.4 percent.Turkey’s lira retreated 0.7 percent. A deadline for a coalition government passed, putting the country on course for its second parliamentary election this year.The yen advanced with the euro as Treasuries rallied amid speculation the global selloff will forestall the Federal Reserve’s first interest-rate increase since 2006.Japan’s currency jumped 1.2 percent to 120.66 per dollar, the strongest since July 9 and the euro climbed for a fourth day against the dollar, strengthening to $1.15 for the first time since February.Fed funds futures now show a probability of a December rate increase at 55 percent versus 61.1 percent on Friday. Bets on the first increase in rates in almost a decade in September fell to 28 percent, down from 34 percent.

China’s Stocks Sink Most Since 2007 as State Intervention Fails-Bloomberg News-Updated on August 24, 2015 — 4:10 AM EDT-BLOOMBERG

China’s stocks plunged the most since 2007 as government support measures failed to allay investor concern that a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy is deepening.The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 8.5 percent to 3,209.91 at the close to erase its gains for the year. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese stocks in Hong Kong fell 5.8 percent to its lowest level since March 2014. Futures on the CSI 300 Index declined by the 10 percent daily limit.Worsening economic data and signs of capital outflows are undermining unprecedented government attempts to shore up the country’s $6 trillion stock market. While China said over the weekend it will allow pension funds to buy shares for the first time, a speculated cut in bank reserve ratios failed to materialize.“This is a real disaster and it seems nothing can stop it,” said Chen Gang, Shanghai-based chief investment officer at Heqitongyi Asset Management Co. “If we don’t cut holdings ourselves, the fund faces risk of forced closure. Many newly started private funds suffered that recently. I hope we can survive.”More than 800 stocks fell by the daily 10 percent limit on the Shanghai Composite, including China Shenhua Energy Co. and China Shipbuilding Industry Co. The gauge has tumbled 38 percent from its June 12 peak to wipe out more than $4 trillion of value.The Hang Seng Index sank 5.2 percent in Hong Kong. The gauge’s relative strength index declined to 15.1, the lowest since the aftermath of the October 1987 stock market crash. A level below 30 signals to some traders losses are overdone. Taiwan’s Taiex index slid as much as 7.5 percent, before paring losses to 4.8 percent.-Stock Valuations-Economic growth slowed to 6.6 percent in July, according to Bloomberg’s monthly GDP tracker. China’s first major economic indicator for August signaled a further deterioration as a private manufacturing index fell to the lowest level in six years.“China’s economy is pretty ugly and some sectors have bubbles,” said Wu Kan, a Shanghai-based fund manager at JK Life Insurance Co., who’s keeping his holdings unchanged. “Selling pressure around global markets is also weighing on local sentiment. The Shanghai Composite may fall to around the 3,000-point level.”Stocks on mainland bourses traded at a median 61 times reported earnings on Friday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the most among the 10 largest markets and more than three times the 19 multiple for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.-Stock Outflows-Yuan positions at the central bank and financial institutions fell by the most on record last month, a sign capital outflows have picked up. Chinese equity funds were the biggest contributors to more than $4 billion of outflows in Asia excluding Japan in the week to Aug. 19, EPFR Global said. Margin traders reduced holdings of shares purchased with borrowed money for a fourth day on Aug. 21.Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the second largest, fell the most since Jan. 19 with a 9.7 percent slump. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. slid 9.3 percent. PetroChina Co., long considered a favorite holding of state-linked rescue funds, tumbled 4.9 percent.The State Council, or cabinet, on Sunday announced it will allow pension funds to invest as much as 30 percent of their total net assets in stocks. Pension funds had net assets of 3.5 trillion yuan ($547 billion) by the end of 2014, Xinhua News Agency reported.The move is the latest attempt by the government to support the equity market, after arming a state agency with more than $400 billion, banning selling by major shareholders and telling state-owned companies to buy stocks.“The news on pension funds over the weekend was positive, but not having the expected required-reserve ratio cut or any other larger measure seems to have disappointed investors,” said Gerry Alfonso, a Shanghai-based trader at Shenwan Hongyuan Group Co. “But it is questionable whether even with one the market would have rebounded.”
