Pope Francis addresses Congress: Read the full remarks-Updated by Jonathan Allen on September 24, 2015, 10:05 a.m. ET jon@vox.com

Pope Francis became the first pontiff to deliver an address to a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday. Here is the text of his remarks, as prepared for delivery:Mr. Vice-President,-Mr. Speaker,-Honorable Members of Congress, Dear Friends,-I am most grateful for your invitation to address this Joint Session of Congress in "the land of the free and the home of the brave". I would like to think that the reason for this is that I too am a son of this great continent, from which we have all received so much and toward which we share a common responsibility.Each son or daughter of a given country has a mission, a personal and social responsibility. Your own responsibility as members of Congress is to enable this country, by your legislative activity, to grow as a nation. You are the face of its people, their representatives. You are called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good, for this is the chief aim of all politics. A political society endures when it seeks, as a vocation, to satisfy common needs by stimulating the growth of all its members, especially those in situations of greater vulnerability or risk. Legislative activity is always based on care for the people. To this you have been invited, called and convened by those who elected you.Yours is a work which makes me reflect in two ways on the figure of Moses. On the one hand, the patriarch and lawgiver of the people of Israel symbolizes the need of peoples to keep alive their sense of unity by means of just legislation. On the other, the figure of Moses leads us directly to God and thus to the transcendent dignity of the human being. Moses provides us with a good synthesis of your work: you are asked to protect, by means of the law, the image and likeness fashioned by God on every human face.Today I would like not only to address you, but through you the entire people of the United States. Here, together with their representatives, I would like to take this opportunity to dialogue with the many thousands of men and women who strive each day to do an honest day’s work, to bring home their daily bread, to save money and –one step at a time – to build a better life for their families. These are men and women who are not concerned simply with paying their taxes, but in their own quiet way sustain the life of society. They generate solidarity by their actions, and they create organizations which offer a helping hand to those most in need.I would also like to enter into dialogue with the many elderly persons who are a storehouse of wisdom forged by experience, and who seek in many ways, especially through volunteer work, to share their stories and their insights. I know that many of them are retired, but still active; they keep working to build up this land. I also want to dialogue with all those young people who are working to realize their great and noble aspirations, who are not led astray by facile proposals, and who face difficult situations, often as a result of immaturity on the part of many adults. I wish to dialogue with all of you, and I would like to do so through the historical memory of your people.My visit takes place at a time when men and women of good will are marking the anniversaries of several great Americans. The complexities of history and the reality of human weakness notwithstanding, these men and women, for all their many differences and limitations, were able by hard work and self- sacrifice – some at the cost of their lives – to build a better future. They shaped fundamental values which will endure forever in the spirit of the American people. A people with this spirit can live through many crises, tensions and conflicts, while always finding the resources to move forward, and to do so with dignity. These men and women offer us a way of seeing and interpreting reality. In honoring their memory, we are inspired, even amid conflicts, and in the here and now of each day, to draw upon our deepest cultural reserves.I would like to mention four of these Americans: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton.This year marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, the guardian of liberty, who labored tirelessly that "this nation, under God, [might] have a new birth of freedom". Building a future of freedom requires love of the common good and cooperation in a spirit of subsidiarity and solidarity.All of us are quite aware of, and deeply worried by, the disturbing social and political situation of the world today. Our world is increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of God and of religion. We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism. This means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind. A delicate balance is required to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an economic system, while also safeguarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and individual freedoms. But there is another temptation which we must especially guard against: the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil; or, if you will, the righteous and sinners. The contemporary world, with its open wounds which affect so many of our brothers and sisters, demands that we confront every form of polarization which would divide it into these two camps. We know that in the attempt to be freed of the enemy without, we can be tempted to feed the enemy within. To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place. That is something which you, as a people, reject.Our response must instead be one of hope and healing, of peace and justice. We are asked to summon the courage and the intelligence to resolve today’s many geopolitical and economic crises. Even in the developed world, the effects of unjust structures and actions are all too apparent. Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples. We must move forward together, as one, in a renewed spirit of fraternity and solidarity, cooperating generously for the common good.The challenges facing us today call for a renewal of that spirit of cooperation, which has accomplished so much good throughout the history of the United States. The complexity, the gravity and the urgency of these challenges demand that we pool our resources and talents, and resolve to support one another, with respect for our differences and our convictions of conscience.In this land, the various religious denominations have greatly contributed to building and strengthening society. It is important that today, as in the past, the voice of faith continue to be heard, for it is a voice of fraternity and love, which tries to bring out the best in each person and in each society. Such cooperation is a powerful resource in the battle to eliminate new global forms of slavery, born of grave injustices which can be overcome only through new policies and new forms of social consensus.Here I think of the political history of the United States, where democracy is deeply rooted in the mind of the American people. All political activity must serve and promote the good of the human person and be based on respect for his or her dignity. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" (Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776). If politics must truly be at the service of the human person, it follows that it cannot be a slave to the economy and finance. Politics is, instead, an expression of our compelling need to live as one, in order to build as one the greatest common good: that of a community which sacrifices particular interests in order to share, in justice and peace, its goods, its interests, its social life. I do not underestimate the difficulty that this involves, but I encourage you in this effort.Here too I think of the march which Martin Luther King led from Selma to Montgomery fifty years ago as part of the campaign to fulfill his "dream" of full civil and political rights for African Americans. That dream continues to inspire us all. I am happy that America continues to be, for many, a land of "dreams".

Dreams which lead to action, to participation, to commitment. Dreams which awaken what is deepest and truest in the life of a people.In recent centuries, millions of people came to this land to pursue their dream of building a future in freedom. We, the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners. I say this to you as the son of immigrants, knowing that so many of you are also descended from immigrants. Tragically, the rights of those who were here long before us were not always respected. For those peoples and their nations, from the heart of American democracy, I wish to reaffirm my highest esteem and appreciation. Those first contacts were often turbulent and violent, but it is difficult to judge the past by the criteria of the present. Nonetheless, when the stranger in our midst appeals to us, we must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our "neighbors" and everything around us. Building a nation calls us to recognize that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mindset of hostility in order to adopt one of reciprocal subsidiarity, in a constant effort to do our best. I am confident that we can do this.Our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Second World War. This presents us with great challenges and many hard decisions. On this continent, too, thousands of persons are led to travel north in search of a better life for themselves and for their loved ones, in search of greater opportunities. Is this not what we want for our own children? We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation. To respond in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal. We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome. Let us remember the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (Mt 7:12).This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. In a word, if we want security, let us give security; if we want life, let us give life; if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us. The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development.This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty. I am convinced that this way is the best, since every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity, and society can only benefit from the rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes. Recently my brother bishops here in the United States renewed their call for the abolition of the death penalty. Not only do I support them, but I also offer encouragement to all those who are convinced that a just and necessary punishment must never exclude the dimension of hope and the goal of rehabilitation.In these times when social concerns are so important, I cannot fail to mention the Servant of God Dorothy Day, who founded the Catholic Worker Movement. Her social activism, her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed, were inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.How much progress has been made in this area in so many parts of the world! How much has been done in these first years of the third millennium to raise people out of extreme poverty! I know that you share my conviction that much more still needs to be done, and that in times of crisis and economic hardship a spirit of global solidarity must not be lost. At the same time I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope. The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes. I know that many Americans today, as in the past, are working to deal with this problem.It goes without saying that part of this great effort is the creation and distribution of wealth. The right use of natural resources, the proper application of technology and the harnessing of the spirit of enterprise are essential elements of an economy which seeks to be modern, inclusive and sustainable. "Business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good" (Laudato Si’, 129). This common good also includes the earth, a central theme of the encyclical which I recently wrote in order to "enter into dialogue with all people about our common home" (ibid., 3). "We need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all" (ibid., 14).In Laudato Si’, I call for a courageous and responsible effort to "redirect our steps" (ibid., 61), and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental deterioration caused by human activity. I am convinced that we can make a difference and I have no doubt that the United States – and this Congress – have an important role to play. Now is the time for courageous actions and strategies, aimed at implementing a "culture of care" (ibid., 231) and "an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature" (ibid., 139). "We have the freedom needed to limit and direct technology" (ibid., 112); "to devise intelligent ways of... developing and limiting our power" (ibid., 78); and to put technology "at the service of another type of progress, one which is healthier, more human, more social, more integral" (ibid., 112).

In this regard, I am confident that America’s outstanding academic and research institutions can make a vital contribution in the years ahead.A century ago, at the beginning of the Great War, which Pope Benedict XV termed a "pointless slaughter", another notable American was born: the Cistercian monk Thomas Merton. He remains a source of spiritual inspiration and a guide for many people. In his autobiography he wrote: "I came into the world. Free by nature, in the image of God, I was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which I was born. That world was the picture of Hell, full of men like myself, loving God, and yet hating him; born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers". Merton was above all a man of prayer, a thinker who challenged the certitudes of his time and opened new horizons for souls and for the Church. He was also a man of dialogue, a promoter of peace between peoples and religions.From this perspective of dialogue, I would like to recognize the efforts made in recent months to help overcome historic differences linked to painful episodes of the past. It is my duty to build bridges and to help all men and women, in any way possible, to do the same. When countries which have been at odds resume the path of dialogue – a dialogue which may have been interrupted for the most legitimate of reasons – new opportunities open up for all. This has required, and requires, courage and daring, which is not the same as irresponsibility. A good political leader is one who, with the interests of all in mind, seizes the moment in a spirit of openness and pragmatism. A good political leader always opts to initiate processes rather than possessing spaces (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 222-223).Being at the service of dialogue and peace also means being truly determined to minimize and, in the long term, to end the many armed conflicts throughout our world. Here we have to ask ourselves: Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society? Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.Three sons and a daughter of this land, four individuals and four dreams: Lincoln, liberty; Martin Luther King, liberty in plurality and non-exclusion; Dorothy Day, social justice and the rights of persons; and Thomas Merton, the capacity for dialogue and openness to God.Four representatives of the American people.I will end my visit to your country in Philadelphia, where I will take part in the World Meeting of Families. It is my wish that throughout my visit the family should be a recurrent theme. How essential the family has been to the building of this country! And how worthy it remains of our support and encourage ment! Yet I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.In particular, I would like to call attention to those family members who are the most vulnerable, the young. For many of them, a future filled with countless possibilities beckons, yet so many others seem disoriented and aimless, trapped in a hopeless maze of violence, abuse and despair. Their problems are our problems. We cannot avoid them. We need to face them together, to talk about them and to seek effective solutions rather than getting bogged down in discussions. At the risk of oversimplifying, we might say that we live in a culture which pressures young people not to start a family, because they lack possibilities for the future. Yet this same culture presents others with so many options that they too are dissuaded from starting a family.A nation can be considered great when it defends liberty as Lincoln did, when it fosters a culture which enables people to "dream" of full rights for all their brothers and sisters, as Martin Luther King sought to do; when it strives for justice and the cause of the oppressed, as Dorothy Day did by her tireless work, the fruit of a faith which becomes dialogue and sows peace in the contemplative style of Thomas Merton.In these remarks I have sought to present some of the richness of your cultural heritage, of the spirit of the American people. It is my desire that this spirit continue to develop and grow, so that as many young people as possible can inherit and dwell in a land which has inspired so many people to dream.God bless America!

Obama and Putin to meet; Syria and Ukraine vie for attention-Reuters By Roberta Rampton and Denis Dyomkin-sept 24,15-yahoonews

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in New York next week at a time of high tension in Europe and the Middle East, but the Kremlin and the White House disagreed on Thursday over the top priority for the talks.The White House insisted the meeting would focus on eastern Ukraine, where Russian-backed forces are fighting the Kiev government, prompting tough sanctions that have damaged Russia's economy.Moscow, however, said the main focus would be on Syria, where Russia has built up its military forces in recent weeks with combat aircraft, tanks and other equipment in support of President Bashar al-Assad.Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters: "Of course, the primary topic will be Syria." Asked whether Ukraine would be discussed, he said: "Well, if time allows.""There will be time," Obama's spokesman, Josh Earnest, retorted during a briefing in Washington. Earnest, speaking at the White House, played down the possibility for any "major announcement" from the meeting.The leaders will be in New York to address the United Nations General Assembly on Monday morning. Peskov said the meeting would take place after Putin's speech, but Earnest declined to say when it would happen.The two camps also differed over who called for the meeting. The Kremlin said it was organized “by mutual agreement," but Earnest said it was being held at Putin's request. He said the Russians were "more desperate" to talk to their American counterparts because of the economic sanctions' impact.Past meetings between the two leaders have been frosty. One encounter in June 2013, which also focused on Syria, resulted in a famous photo of the leaders looking distant and glum. Earnest said Putin had used similar body language in a photo after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week."President Putin was striking a now-familiar pose of less-than-perfect posture, an unbuttoned jacket, and knees spread far apart, to convey a particular image," Earnest said.The United States also hopes to advance political talks on Syria at other General Assembly meetings, Sheba Crocker, assistant secretary for international organization affairs, told a State Department briefing.But Crocker said the United States would not back a U.N. Security Council statement on countering terrorism proposed by Russia because of fears it would send the wrong message to U.S. partners in the fight against Islamic State militants in Syria.(Additional reporting by Jeff Mason, Doina Chiacu, Mohammad Zargham and Darya Korsunskaya; Editing by David Storey and Jonathan Oatis)

Juncker answer on Catalonia grew in translation By Helena Spongenberg-sept 24,15-euobserver

Barcelona, Today, 16:46-The European Commission is looking into what happened to the Spanish version of a written answer from Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to a Spanish MEP earlier this week, which differed considerably from the original answer given in English.Catalan centre-right MEP Santiago Fisas had asked Juncker in a written question whether or not the European Commission would recognise a potential call for a unilateral declaration of independence from Catalonia, or if it would respect the Spanish Constitution, which is against such a declaration.The Spanish translation of the original English version adds an extra 9-line paragraph saying that a regional parliament cannot decide on the fate of its territory.Fisas' question for Juncker came just days before Catalans head to the ballot box on Sunday (27 September) in a regional election that has turned into a de facto referendum on independence from Spain."There is only one authentic version," Commission spokesperson Mina Andreeva told journalists on Thursday (24 September)."The answer to the question that was given in English is the authentic version because it is the English version to which the President agreed and which bears his signature," she added.She said that "mistakes" and "human errors" do happen in an organisation like the Commission of 35,000 people. "And as always when human errors happen, we look into our system, how it works and we are trying to establish the facts", she continued."I think what is important, is to know that nobody can manipulate the Commission", Andreeva insisted once again.However, while the English version is short and simple answering that "it is not for the Commission to express a position on questions of internal organisation related to the constitutional arrangements of a particular Member State", the Spanish version adds an extra 9-line paragraph, saying that a regional parliament cannot decide on the fate of its territory."Determining the territory of a Member State is only set by national constitutional law, and not by a decision of a regional Parliament contrary to the constitution of this State", it says, referring to the Treaty of the European Union.More than a mistake-Catalan liberal MEP Ramon Tremosa believes that the extra paragraph is a manipulation of the Spanish government. "It is a manipulated paragraph, it is not a human error, it is more than a mistake.""If the European Commission does not bring out the truth, it will have lost a lot of credibility," Tremosa said, adding that the Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel García-Margallo has already used the extra argument from the Spanish version in a televised election debate in Catalonia.Juncker made headlines across Spain on Monday with the Spanish version of the answer, just days before the regional election in Catalonia.Independence is the main talking point surrounding Catalonia's vote on Sunday, with the regional election becoming a plebiscite on Catalan secession from Spain.Opinions from the European Union could have an impact on how people vote.It was not possible to get a comment from MEP Santiago Fisas. However, in a radio interview on Ser Catalunya on Wednesday, Fisas said that he had only seen the Spanish version of the answer and that no one had informed him of any change.Once that happens he said he would "write a letter to Mr Juncker asking for explanations."The case came to light when an assistant to liberal MEP Ramon Tremosa - Aleix Sarri - happened to take a look at the English version and realised that it looked very different than the Spanish version. Both answers to the MEP question have since been taken off the European Parliament website, while the incident is being investigated.The standard answer-Both versions of the Juncker answer refer to a previous answer by Juncker on a similar question, which in turn refers to three previous answers by the European Commission on other related questions.One of those three answers finally refers to a reply from 2004 by former Commission President Romano Prodi which is the European executive's standard response to questions of what will happen if a region of a member state becomes independent. The Commission argues that in that case, a new independent country becomes a third country and must reapply for EU membership.However, none of the abovementioned Commission answers in English mention whether or not a regional parliament can decide on the fate of its territory, as the extra paragraph in the Spanish version said was against the Treaty of the EU's "article 4, paragraph 2".

EU summit focuses on border security, Turkey By Eszter Zalan-euobserver

BRUSSELS, 23. Sep, 21:06-EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday (23 September) are in talks on broader aspects of the migrant crisis, following a difficult deal on relocations Tuesday.The focus will be on helping Turkey to keep Syrian refugees on its soil and to crack down on smuggler networks, on strengthening external borders, and on aiding third countries in the Middle East and Africa.“We have now reached a critical point where we need to end mutual recriminations and misunderstandings”, Donald Tusk, EU council president, said on arriving to the meeting.“Tonight our debate must be based on facts not on illusions and emotions”.Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaite was more blunt. “We didn’t tackle serious questions yet. We’ll only start today”, she told reporters upon arrival.“It is not lack of European unity, but lack of European wisdom”.Turkey is key-Speaking of Turkey and other Syria neighbours, Tusk said: “Our partners are expecting our help to solve their refugee problems rather than thinking of how they can help us”.An EU spource said Turkey is in a better than ever bargaining position to get extra EU funding.He also said it wants easing of European pressure on the increasingly authoritarian Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.“ Turkey is key, if not ‘the’ key to the issue”, said the diplomat.Turkey hosts 2.2 million refugees four years after the civil war broke out in Syria.The European Commission said recently it could offer €1 billion to help.Defending borders-Leaders will also talk about external border security.On recent form, the EU’s so-called Schengen area travel freedoms mean it’s impossible to control who goes where once migrants enter the bloc.The fear is more EU countries will reintroduce border controls, de facto dismantling Schengen - a signature EU achievement.Hungary is about to complete a fence along its border with Croatia, a neighboring EU member, after building a fence on its Serbia line.Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, said on arrival in Brussels on Wednesday the EU should focus on Greece.“If Greece cannot defend its borders we should ask, kindly, since it is a sovereign country, to let other countries police the border,” he told reporters.He’s also proposing, in a six-point plan, to separate refugees from “economic migrants” before they arrive in the EU.For his part, Tusk said existing EU agencies - Frontex (border control), Europol (joint police), and the European Asylum Office - can help defend the EU’s thin blue line.Divisions-The summit takes place amid a bitter divide on migrant relocations.Big EU states, on Tuesday, in a vote, forced the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia to take part in a relocation scheme they don’t want.Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, who proposed the plan to share 120,000 refugees, tried to be both conciliatory and firm.“I talked to the Czech prime minister and he said he is ready to implement what concerns his country. We will not reopen [yesterday’s] decision, it must be respected”. he said on Wednesday,.Prague and Bratislava had threatened to take the matter to the European Court of Justice. But Prague later withdrew its threat.

No plans for Obama-Rouhani meeting in New York: White House-AFP-sept 24,15-yahoonews

Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama has no plans to meet Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani in New York during the UN General Assembly next week, the White House said Thursday."We currently do not have any plans for a meeting with president Rouhani and we are really not expecting one," said Ben Rhodes, a senior Obama foreign policy aide.

Interview: UN nuke chief pushback against Iran probe critics-Associated Press By GEORGE JAHN-sept 24,15-yahoonews

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The head of the U.N. nuclear agency is pushing back against critics questioning the wisdom of letting Iranian experts take samples meant to help determine whether their own country clandestinely worked in the past on atomic arms.In an interview with The Associated Press Thursday, Yukiya Amano said he is convinced the process was faultless.Amano spoke less than a week after confirming that instead of personnel from his International Atomic Energy Agency, Iranians did the environmental sampling at a site where such alleged experiments work took place.Noting that the Iranians were under stringent IAEA monitoring, Amano then said he was confident "so far" that the samples were genuine. He appeared to go further on Thursday, however, saying he is "very sure that ... the samples are authentic."

Yazidis urge ICC to open probe into IS atrocities-AFP-sept 24,15-yahoonews

The Hague (AFP) - Iraq's Yazidi minority -- the target of brutal attacks by the Islamic State group -- on Thursday urged the International Criminal Court to investigate the militants for allegations of genocide and sexual slavery.Two Yazidi groups handed the court a new report and documents which show "that ISIS has systematically committed atrocities amounting to genocide and that these crimes fall within the jurisdiction of the ICC," said Murad Ismael of the Yazidi rights organisation Yazda.Earlier this year, ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said the IS group, which is sometimes referred to as ISIS or ISIL, had committed crimes of "unspeakable cruelty" including mass executions, rape and torture.But she said she could not investigate as neither Iraq nor Syria are signatories to the court and her "jurisdictional basis... is too narrow."The report, however, specifically names some 20 foreign fighters from countries who have signed the ICC's founding Rome Statute.A Kurdish-speaking minority mostly based around Sinjar mountain in northern Iraq, the Yazidis are neither Arabs nor Muslims and have a unique faith which Islamic State militants consider to be heretical and polytheistic.In August 2014, the jihadists made an unexpected push into areas of northern Iraq that had been under Kurdish control and were home to many of the country's minorities.Worst-hit were the Yazidis, who were massacred and abducted in large numbers when IS entered the Sinjar area.Tens of thousands scrambled up Mount Sinjar in a panic and remained stranded there for days with no food nor water.- 'Despicable crimes' -"It is abhorrent that such despicable crimes should be inflicted upon innocent civilians anywhere on Earth," said Ismael in a statement."The Yazidi community has been shattered by the sick crimes of ISIS terrorists who sought to annihilate the Yazidis on the basis of their religious distinctiveness," he said.According to Yazda, it is believed that some 3,000 people, including children and the elderly were killed although the figures remain unclear.The organisation said 12 mass graves have already been found around the Mount Sinjar area.Yazda also estimates that more than 5,200 people were taken captive during the August 2014 attacks, from which about 1,900 managed to escape. The rest are still being held.Eighty percent of the Yazidi population is now displaced and living in camps, Ismael added."ISIL sought to annihilate the religious identity, traditions and the very existence of the Yazidis," Yazda and the Free Yazidi Foundation said in their report to the ICC.Speaking to AFP, the prosecutor's office confirmed the "receipt of information" submitted by the two groups, but would not comment further.Ismael, who travelled from Houston, Texas to present the report to the court in The Hague, told AFP he was "confident that once the court reads through the details" it will decide it has jurisdiction over the case.

Putin hopes to steal UN show with Syria-focused speech-Associated Press By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV-SEPT 24,15-YAHOONEWS

MOSCOW (AP) — With dozens of Russian combat jets and helicopter gunships lined up at an air base in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for a big-time show at the United Nations General Assembly.Observers expect the Russian leader to call for stronger U.N.-sanctioned global action against the Islamic State group and possibly announce some military moves in his speech on Monday. He is also due to meet on the same day with U.S. President Barack Obama.Putin appears to see the rise of the IS as both a major potential threat to Russia and a common cause that could help restore ties with the West, ravaged by the Ukrainian crisis. By claiming a new role in Syria, he may hope to lift Russia from the Ukrainian morass and rebuild its image as a top-tier global player capable of tackling IS, which he has called an "absolute evil."Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, believes that Putin's moves in Syria are intended to "take the dialogue with the West out of the Ukrainian impasse.""Syria and the Middle East in general are the problems that attract global attention, and we raise our status by returning there as active players," said Lukyanov, who has strong official connections as the head of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policies, an association of Russia's top foreign policy experts.The Russian moves in Syria are also aimed at securing what is left of the Syrian state after a series of defeats suffered by President Bashar Assad's army, and saving Alawites from being massacred, Lukyanov said.Putin has been coy about his goals.While the Russian deployment to Syria couldn't be concealed, with giant military cargo planes and navy transport vessels shuttling back and forth for weeks to ferry troops, weapons and supplies, Moscow's plans remain unclear.Putin and his officials have said only that Russia has provided weapons and training to the Syrian military to help it combat IS. Asked if the Kremlin could send troops to fight IS, Putin answered that "we are looking at various options." His spokesman said Moscow would consider Syria's request for Russian troops to help combat the IS if Damascus were to ask.Some key questions remain:— Will Russia limit itself to providing weapons, training and advice to the Syrians as it has done before, or will it send its soldiers into actual combat?— If they do enter combat, will the Russians fight exclusively against IS, as the Kremlin has pledged, or will they also target other groups fighting against Assad?-— Will the Russian forces conduct only reconnaissance missions and air strikes, or will they also engage in ground action?-By preceding his U.N. speech with the military buildup, Putin apparently aims to coerce the U.S. into talks."The Russian diplomatic strategy is to be taken into account by the United States, basically," Dmitri Trenin, head of the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow office, said in a conference call with reporters. "Russia is creating facts on the ground. Russia is not asking for permission to be in Syria, or to be doing things it's doing in Syria, and that creates a position from which the Russians think they can get ... some kind of an understanding with the United States."Worried by the threat of Russian and U.S. jets clashing inadvertently in Syrian skies, Washington has agreed to talk to Moscow on how to "deconflict" their military actions. Last week, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter had a 50-minute phone conversation with his Russian counterpart, the first such military-to-military discussion between the two countries in more than a year.Israel acted similarly, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting Moscow this week to agree with Putin on a coordination mechanism to avoid any possible confrontation between Israeli and Russian forces in Syria."Russia wants to switch the attention away from Donbass (eastern Ukraine) to Syria, where, as Putin has been saying all the time, core Russian and U.S. interests, and European interests, are very similar," Trenin said.But while the U.S. has agreed to hold military discussions with Russia, any quick cash-out for Moscow appears unlikely. Washington and its allies view the Russian buildup with concern, worried that Putin would try to shore up Assad, whom Russia has shielded from U.N. sanctions and provided with weapons throughout the 4½-year civil war that has killed 250,000. The U.S. and its allies see Assad as the cause of the Syria crisis, and the continuing Russian support for him will not help warm ties.And even if Moscow and Washington find common ground on Syria, Kremlin hopes that the U.S. and its allies will eventually lose interest in Ukraine and become more accommodating to Moscow's interests seem illusory. Russia and the West have remained deeply divided by the Ukrainian crisis, and prospects for lifting Western economic sanctions against Moscow look dim as February's peace deal has floundered.Moscow's military involvement in Syria could also create a host of new problems that Putin may find hard to contain.Most analysts predict that if Putin openly commits his troops to combat in Syria, Russia will limit itself to air strikes and stay away from ground action. "There is no talk about a full-scale military operation and the deployment of a large contingent of troops," Lukyanov said.But even a limited Russian military action would anger Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf states, which would see it as an effort to prop up Assad, whom they have vowed to unseat. Diplomatic damage aside, Russia would also face potential military losses, and terror threats will rise."It will strengthen the perception of Russia as a target for radicals, and retaliation may come anywhere," Lukyanov said.IS already has threatened to strike back at Russia, which has fought two wars with separatists in Chechnya and has seen numerous deadly terror attacks in the past by Islamic militants.On the battlefield in Syria, IS lacks sophisticated air defenses, but its forces still managed to down a Jordanian combat jet earlier this year. The group later released a video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being set ablaze while trapped in a cage.Possible Russian military casualties in Syria could push the Kremlin to respond in an even more forceful way, creating the risks of escalation. "There is a risk of being sucked deeper into it, even though no one wants that," said Lukyanov.While the Russian public broadly backed Putin's action in Ukraine, cast by official propaganda as saving fellow Russian-speakers from Western-backed Ukrainian nationalists, any military action in Syria would draw quick comparisons to the botched Soviet war in Afghanistan. There already have been reports that a group of Russian soldiers refused to go to Syria, citing lack of clear orders and no guarantees about benefits for their families if they were wounded or killed.Georgy Mirsky, a widely respected Middle East expert with the Moscow-based Institute for World Economy and International Relations, expects Putin to stop short of committing Russian soldiers to combat and limit Moscow's involvement to providing weapons and training to the Syrian army. "Sending Russian boys to help some Arabs fight other Arabs would be extremely unpopular," Mirsky said.

Diplomats jostle to lay out position on how to end Syria war-Associated Press By LORI HINNANT and CARA ANNA-SEPT 24,15-YAHOONEWS

PARIS (AP) — Europe's top diplomats, the United States and Russia jostled to lay out their positions Thursday on how best to end the civil war in Syria, which has sent millions fleeing their homes and killed thousands.A central issue at the U.N.'s largest gathering of world leaders next week will be how and whether to include Syrian President Bashar Assad in any talks about the future of the country.In the U.S., envoys said the Obama administration refused to negotiate over a Russian statement they feared would strengthen Assad's hand at the United Nations. But efforts to stem the long-running crisis have new urgency in Europe, which is divided over how to deal with a new influx of refugees fleeing the war zone.Russia, meanwhile, is bolstering military support for Assad, while U.S. support for rebels fighting the Syrian leader has foundered. About 4 million people have fled Syria during the conflict, which the U.N. says has killed more than 250,000.A Kremlin spokesman has said Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet President Barack Obama on Monday.A draft of Russia's council statement, obtained by The Associated Press, urges countries to fight extremist groups "in coordination with the governments of the affected states."Sheba Crocker, the assistant U.S. secretary of state for international organization affairs, confirmed that the U.S. told Russia it couldn't back the proposed statement.One Security Council diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussion was not a public one, said Russia's new military buildup in Syria was hindering any hope for talks.The diplomat noted the recent flurry of diplomatic activity on Syria after the Iran nuclear deal was announced, including a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Qatar, but said that window "slammed shut" with Russia's new military buildup.The international community is also watching for possible shifts on key countries' stance on Assad.While Kerry stressed last week the U.S. demand that Assad must go, he stated explicitly that an acceptable resolution to the Syrian war would allow Assad to remain in place for a time before departing."We're not being doctrinaire about the specific date or time — we're open," Kerry said. "But right now, Assad has refused to have a serious discussion and Russia has refused to bring him to the table in order to do that. So that's why we're where we are."As for an Assad timetable, Kerry said "it doesn't have to be on day one or month one or whatever," but in context of negotiations.And on Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she favored including Assad at the negotiating table in the future."I think one has to speak with many actors. That includes Assad," she said.In Paris, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said it wasn't yet time to negotiate with Russia, and in a brief statement didn't even broach the idea of negotiations with Assad as he sought some kind of common position with his French and British counterparts."We have to find an approach which will be able to bridge the different positions, interests especially of the actors in the region," Steinmeier said.French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Thursday's Paris meeting aimed to lay the groundwork for more in-depth talks at the U.N. General Assembly, which begins Monday in New York.But, Fabius said, "Bashar Assad cannot represent the future of a people in a country that he has martyred."___Cara Anna reported from the United Nations.

IS suicide bomber dressed as a woman kills 10 at Yemen Houthi mosque-Reuters By Mohammed Ghobari-sept 24,15-yahoonews

SANAA (Reuters) - At least 10 Muslim worshippers performing Eid al-Adha prayers were killed on Thursday when an Islamic State suicide bomber disguised as a woman blew himself up at a mosque run by Yemen's Houthi group, security sources said.In northern Yemen, residents said warplanes from the Arab coalition conducting air raids against the Houthis struck a house in Hajjah province, killing six members of the same family, including four children. Two other people were wounded in the attack, residents reached by telephone said.Islamic State's branch in Yemen said the attack at al-Balili mosque, just outside the Old City of Sanaa, had killed or wounded dozens of "rejectionists". The Sunni militant group uses that term to describe Shi'ite Muslims it deems to be heretics."In a security operation facilitated by God as part of the acts of revenge for Muslims from the rejectionist Houthis, brother Abu Omar al-Hadidi waded into a crowd of apostate Houthis at al-Balili temple, detonated his suicide belt causing dozens to perish or to be injured...," the statement said.Medics said at least 36 other people were wounded. A Houthi website gave a death toll of at least 10, while Arab media said it was at least 25.The Houthis, allies of Iran, seized Sanaa a year ago and forced President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile in Saudi Arabia. Since March, the Western-allied Saudis have led an Arab coalition trying to restore Hadi to power and drive the Houthis back to their northern stronghold.More than 4,500 people have been killed in the conflict, which Islamic State has exploited to expand its operations.WITNESSES-Witnesses had earlier described a twin suicide attack on the mosque, where worshippers were celebrating Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice.Nayef, who lives nearby, said he heard one explosion followed quickly by a second. "We gathered to rescue the wounded. The situation is very painful and blood is everywhere."The witnesses said the first blast shook the mosque soon after worshippers gathered for prayers. A second suicide bomber detonated his explosives belt when Houthi guards tried to stop him rushing deep inside the mosque.Houthi fighters sealed off the area and shouted at onlookers to stay away.It was the second attack in the capital this month to target a mosque run by the Shi'ite Zaydi group. On Sept. 2, at least 28 people were killed and 75 wounded in twin suicide bombings claimed by Islamic State at a mosque in northern Sanaa.In March, Islamic State suicide bombers killed at least 137 worshippers and wounded hundreds more in coordinated attacks at two mosques during Friday prayers in Sanaa.Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television said on Thursday at least 40 Houthis were killed while trying to sneak into a Saudi village across the border with Yemen. The satellite channel showed photos of at least three dead fighters it said had been killed near the village of Hathera in Jizan province.The Houthis did not comment on the report.(Reporting by Mohammed Ghobari in Sanaa and Omar Fahmy in Cairo; Writing by Sami Aboudi; Editing by Jon Boyle)

More than 700 pilgrims die in crush in worst haj disaster for 25 years-Reuters By Nidal al-Mughrabi-sept 24,15-yahoonews

MINA, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - At least 717 pilgrims from around the world were killed on Thursday in a crush outside the Muslim holy city of Mecca, Saudi authorities said, in the worst disaster to strike the annual haj pilgrimage for 25 years.At least 863 others were injured. Saudi King Salman said he had ordered a review of haj plans after the disaster, in which two large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometers east of Mecca, on their way to performing the "stoning of the devil" ritual at Jamarat. Thursday's disaster was the worst to occur at the pilgrimage since July 1990, when 1,426 pilgrims suffocated in a tunnel near Mecca. Both incidents occurred on Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), Islam's most important feast and the day of the stoning ritual.Photographs published on the Twitter feed of Saudi civil defense on Thursday showed pilgrims lying on stretchers while emergency workers in high-visibility jackets lifted them into an ambulance.Other images showed bodies of men in white haj garments piled on top of each other. Some corpses bore visible injuries.Unverified video posted on Twitter showed pilgrims and rescue workers trying to revive some victims.The haj, the world's largest annual gathering of people, has been the scene of numerous deadly stampedes, fires and riots in the past, but their frequency has been greatly reduced in recent years as the government spent billions of dollars upgrading and expanding haj infrastructure and crowd control technology.Safety during haj is a politically sensitive issue for the kingdom's ruling Al Saud dynasty, which presents itself internationally as the guardian of orthodox Islam and custodian of its holiest places in Mecca and Medina.BLAME-Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the Saudi government should accept responsibility for the crush, in which more than 100 Iranian nationals were reported to have died."The Saudi government should accept the responsibility of this sorrowful incident ... Mismanagement and improper actions have caused this catastrophe," Khamenei said in a statement published on his website.King Salman offered deep condolences."We have instructed concerned authorities to review the operations plan ... (and) to raise the level of organization and management to ensure that the guests of God perform their rituals in comfort and ease," the monarch said.The Interior Ministry spokesman, Mansour Turki said the investigation would look into what caused an unusual mass of pilgrims to congregate at the location of the disaster. "The reason for that is not known yet," he told a news conference in Mina.U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the White House offered condolences."The United States expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the hundreds of haj pilgrims killed and hundreds more injured in the heartbreaking stampede in Mina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," White House spokesman Ned Price said.Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies reported that 125 Iranians were among the dead. Fars reported that Tehran summoned the Saudi charge d'affaires to lodge an official complaint over the disaster. South African Acting President Cyril Ramaphosa extended condolences to families of the victims and said his government was awaiting information about his country's pilgrims.-JAMARAT-Street 204, where the crush occurred, is one of two main arteries leading through the camp at Mina to Jamarat, the site where pilgrims ritually stone the devil by hurling pebbles at three large pillars. In 2006, at least 346 pilgrims died in a stampede at Jamarat."Work is under way to separate large groups of people and direct pilgrims to alternative routes," the Saudi Civil Defence said on its Twitter account.It said more than 220 ambulances and 4,000 rescue workers had been sent in to help the injured. Some of the wounded were evacuated by helicopters. An Arab pilgrim who did not want to give his name said he had hoped to perform the stoning ritual later on Thursday afternoon but was now too frightened to risk doing so."I am very tired already and after this I can't go. I will wait for the night and if it not resolved, I will see if maybe somebody else can do it on my behalf," he said.Efforts to improve safety at Jamarat have included enlarging the three pillars and constructing a three-decker bridge around them to increase the area and number of entry and exit points for pilgrims to perform the ritual.More than 100,000 police and thousands of video cameras are also deployed to allow groups to be dispersed before they reach dangerous levels of density."Please pilgrims do not push one another. Please leave from the exit and don't come back by the same route," an officer kept repeating through a loudspeaker at Jamarat.Two weeks ago 110 people died in Mecca's Grand Mosque when a crane working on an expansion project collapsed during a storm and toppled off the roof into the main courtyard, crushing pilgrims underneath.For a map locating the site of the crush, see: http://link.reuters.com/jaz65w (Additional reporting by Omar Fahmy in Cairo, Bozorgmehr Sharafedin in Dubai, Michelle Nichols in New York and Jeff Mason in Washington; Writing by Sami Aboudi and Angus McDowall; Editing by Dominic Evans, William Maclean and Raissa Kasolowsky)

Obama, Xi to hold superpower supper-AFP By Andrew Beatty-SEPT 24,15-YAHOONEWS

Washington (AFP) - Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington Thursday, kicking off a state visit by dining with US President Barack Obama, an informal sit-down that may shape superpower relations for years to come.Leaders of the world's two pre-eminent military and economic powers will dine at Blair House -- a casual meal that aides say could be as important as Friday's formal proceedings.Analysts say Xi prizes Friday's 21-gun salute and ceremonial state dinner as a way of showing the Chinese people that he and the country are being treated as a great power.But US officials admit the litany of problems now plaguing US-China relations and doubts over Xi's commitment to a "peaceful rise" are unlikely to be resolved over butter-poached Maine lobster or grilled cannon of Colorado lamb."Far and away, the most constructive engagements they've had have been in their private dinners," said senior Obama national security aide Ben Rhodes.Thursday's informal dinner is an opportunity, Rhodes said, to "put aside the talking points and actually get a window into one another’s world view.""And those world views are very different. And that's part of why I think the conversations are useful and important, because it provides a context for all these issues."- 'Cooperating and competing' -Xi -- who kicked off his US visit in Seattle, meeting with top corporate CEOs -- is seen in Washington as one of the strongest Chinese leaders in decades, consolidating political, military and government power at a speed not seen since Deng Xiaoping.Even as the Chinese economy has slowed -- calling into question Xi and the Communist Party's technocratic bona fides into question -- Xi has tightened his grip on power at home.But his assertiveness has prompted serious maritime, economic and cybersecurity disputes that US officials say risk throwing a complex and delicately balanced relationship out of kilter."At any one time we are cooperating and competing," said one senior administration official, who asked not to be named."What we strive for is to make sure that competition doesn't define the relationship and that competition is taking place in a way that is healthy and is fair."At previous summits, agreements on climate change, trade and military cooperation have helped emphasize the positives in US-China relations.This time around, such breakthroughs are unlikely, although an agreement on cyber security has not been ruled out."I don't think in this state visit you will see really attention-grabbing announcements," said one US official.- Cyber theft a 'serious' issue -Obama and Xi will look to highlight cooperation to curb Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs, efforts to tackle climate change and people-to-people ties.An agreement is also expected to limit the risk of dangerous air-to-air military encounters.On the eve of Xi's visit, US officials revealed that two Chinese fighter jets had passed dangerously close to an American spy plane in international airspace over the Yellow Sea.But such agreements treat the symptoms, according to Michael Green, a former National Security Council official now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies."The larger challenge, the harder question that the administration's deferring on is, if the Chinese behavior continues and the most we can get are important but essentially Band-Aid cures for some of the symptoms, at what point does the US have to consider imposing costs," he said.A series of cyber hacks and Beijing's forcible occupation of disputed territory in the South China Sea have prompted the Obama administration to send a message that these costs may come soon if Xi's response is unsatisfactory." We have serious and fundamental concerns with Chinese state-sponsored cyber-enabled economic theft of our companies' intellectual property and trade secrets, for the benefit of Chinese companies," a senior administration official told AFP."The president has raised this a number of times with Xi, as have officials. We expect to see action. We will not hesitate to take the steps necessary to protect our economy and our companies," the official said."This is not a minor irritant. It gets at the heart of our economy. It's a national security and economic security issue. It's of critical strategic importance."

Jane Musgrave-Casey Anthony wins defamation case-September 18, 2015-| Filed in: Casey Anthony, Civil, Criminal.PALMBEACHPOST.COM

Chalk up another court victory for Casey Anthony.The Orlando-area mother, who was acquitted in 2011 of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, this week was cleared of defaming a former nanny, who claimed Anthony had destroyed her reputation by suggesting she might be responsible for Caylee Anthony’s 2008 disappearance.In a 20-page ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May threw out allegations former nanny Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez made against Casey Anthony, who has long been rumored to be living in Palm Beach County.At issue was a statement Anthony made in a jail conversation with her mother that was repeated to the media. The statement the “girl down in Kissimmee” even if joined with the word “babysitter” didn’t implicate Fernandez-Gonzalez, May ruled.“There is nothing in the statement … to support (Fernandez-Gonzalez’s) allegations that (Anthony) intended to portray (the nanny) as a child kidnapper and potentially a child killer,” May ruled, in throwing out the defamation claim.The allegations were heard by May because Anthony filed for bankruptcy in 2013, claiming she is roughly $800,000 in debt and wanted to start over. If successful, Fernandez-Gonzalez would have been able to ask that any damages she was awarded could not be erased in bankruptcy court.In the decision, May ruled that because he found no defamation occurred Anthony could discharge Fernandez-Gonalez’s claims as part of the bankruptcy.Since her acquittal, that was greeted by public outrage after the closely-watched televised trial, Anthony has scored other court wins. While she was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer, an appeals court in 2013 overturned two of the convictions.

Is Casey Anthony preparing to tell all?-Anthony acquitted of daughter's murder in 2011-UPDATED 7:39 AM EDT Jun 02, 2015-WESH2

ORLANDO, Fla. —Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez said they are watching Casey Anthony closely after reports indicated she is in New York with intents to sell her story.Gonzalez filed a defamation lawsuit in 2008 after Anthony claimed a woman by the same name kidnapped her daughter, Caylee.Anthony was acquitted in 2011 in her child’s murder.Gonzalez’ legal team told WESH 2 that they have not dropped the defamation lawsuit against Anthony and vow to go after any money that she may make.Anthony succeeded in discharging more than $700,000 in debt in federal bankruptcy court.“The defamation claim was not wiped away when Casey Anthony filed for bankruptcy,” Gonzalez’ attorney Matt Morgan said.Court records show the defamation case has not had a new filing since a motion to dismiss the case was denied in December 2013, but that may change amidst published reports that Anthony is in New York with a publicist to sell a tell-all interview.“I was not surprised by this. We were waiting for her to cash in on this case,” Morgan said.Even if Anthony does succeed in selling an interview, which no media outlet has been willing to pay for since her murder acquittal, Morgan said he knows that payment could be funneled through a variety of sources, making the money trail as difficult to find as Anthony herself.“That will not dampen our enthusiasm to collect. We will stay the course and ensure everything is done to hold Casey Anthony accountable in this claim,” Morgan said.In May, Anthony was photographed in public for the first time in two years. She was seen volunteering at a 5K race in Lake Worth and jogging in a West Palm Beach neighborhood.Anthony's sighting in West Palm Beach has led to speculation she is living in a home owned by a private investigator, who was part of her defense team.
